[One (M7) General] KBCreepin:
Ok. So just s-off first then take the OTA'S or do I need to update firmware through a zip from xda? Sorry, it's been awhile since I rooted anything so trying to get back in the swing of things.

s off then stock recovery unmodified system boot loader locked correctly match cid mid

[One (M7) General] KBCreepin:
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean.
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
ok assuming that you are s off now if you are on

Stock Rom rooted
You have to unroot than flash original HTC stock recovery then lock or relock
( if you are s off then you can lock instead of relock ) then flash ota zip

Custom Rom
You have 2 methods

1 Easy guru reset Rom @ htc1guru site download it
flash it in custom recovery it will make you stock Rom + stock recovery
than lock boot loader then flash ota zip

2 ruu exe or ruu zip method
Download firmware according to your cid mid or extract Firmware from Rom file
flash firmware in fastboot then flash stock recovery
then lock boot loader then run ruu.exe
if you have ruu zip put in sdcard flash it in recovery
You will end with stock software then go for your ota

Ok, now I'm more confused than I was, haha! I'm already bone stock, unrooted, and s-on. I'm factory clean. Phone has never been rooted or had s-off. It seems the instructions you posted only apply if I'm already rooted or have s-off. Am I correct in my thinking?

yes

what is your basic Q ?
[One (M7) General] Achraf4X:
Hello guys, I'm a noob with this device especially, Had an LG 4X rooted, unlocked, custom roms ... , Now the HTC One is my main phone, hadn't feel the need to root it or anything until now, I read some posts, and since I'm on kitkat, I'd have to htcdev unlock my One before S-off, my only concern is wiping data, Is there a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping data? Sorry for the bad english
[One (M7) General] mirkuma:
Use Firewater second method it will unlock device for you. You dont need DevUnloc. :)

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

And your data will not be lost using secod method.
[One (M7) General] metropical:
how long should Firewater process take?

tried Firewater from OSX Lion.

Got to bottle 6 in about 5 minutes, but didn't seem to move from there, so I restarted.

HTC DEV rooted and S-On. I want to be able to return to stock to get the OTA 4.4.2.

How long should Firewater take to S-Off ?
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
if you have nandroid backup of stock Rom restore it flash stock recovery lock boot loader get ota

[One (M7) General] Achraf4X:
Thanks for the answer, but I thought temproot doesn't work anymore on 4.4.2, does it?
[One (M7) General] Mutasek24:
Yes the second method (temproot) does not work on 4.4.2 so it remains htc dev method which removes all data from the device
[One (M7) General] cokey77:
Is there any other way of temprooting 4.4.2.

Sorry, did't notice that that you are on 4.4.2. In this case you will lost data... :( Sorry
[One (M7) General] metropical:
Pretty sure my Nandroid b.u. is after I unlocked and rooted. Anyway to check it?
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
I don't get it what you mean

Anyway if you are on stock Rom flash stock recovery then try for ota update

HTC One 1.56 S-Off ARHD 52
[One (M7) General] Mutasek24:
For OTA bootloader does not matter maybe unlocked or locked, the root did not bothered ( If not removed any application system). The most important for OTA is stock recovery and CID / MID device for stock rom

Anyone tried temproot and S-OFF after the new update (4.19.401.11) on 1.55 or 1.56 hboot?

Mod: Failed on temproot again, not any news.
[One (M7) General] donkeykong1:
Temproot doesn't work on h-boot 1.56. 4.19.401.11 is newest firmware and it comes with 1.56 h-boot. So, no, it doesn't work
[One (M7) General] Achraf4X:
I was eager to try it too, but there's no reason this temproot way comes back, it was basically a way through for HTC One users who don't wanna lose their warranty, or don't wanna wipe all data (like me)... when the only thing you want is root access, it seems a bit unfair... Rooting shouldn't be that hard
[One (M7) General] dpr:
well, that´s htc policy, I guess.

My next device will likely be the Samsung S5. Despite I like the design of htc, this policy "If you root you loose your warranty" does not find my support.

Unfortunately I missed the temproot myself as well and updated via OTA to the new system before taking notice of this great job theses guys that found the loopholes to make "temproot" possible on older HBOOTs.
[One (M7) General] caanda45:
Gee and you think Samsung has a different policy on warranty loss??? They have a tamper flag that is in the software.....
[One (M7) General] dpr:
Yes they have but you can remove the tamper flag easy and restore it to factory mode. At least this is the case on most recent models. No idea what the new S5 will be in this point. But don't want to discuss about Samsung, was just my view on the htc policy which I dislike despite the phone is great in many aspects.

I was notified of an ota update to 4.4.2.

I tried it with twrp but when in twrp and trying to execute the ota update it failed.

I reinstalled the recovery.img from 3.62.401.1

Does your HTC One get really disconnected? I mean, are you able to browse the internal memory after what you said happens?

Anyway, try to reinstall the latest drivers. Download the latest HTC Sync version (http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/), install it and then unistall it (without uninstalling the drivers).

And what is the hboot version?

i have tried on my laptop and on my computer too,with the same situation. my htc disconnect after pressing yes,but it reconnect imediatly. i have hboot 1.56. htc disconnect only in this case, normaly i can browse files and so on. reinstalled againg drivers and same situation. i also tried 3 usb cables and the same.

You have modified system files; a good example is the presence of Xposed or other mods. OTA updates check the integrity of system files.

Good day all.

I am not new to android and rooting but am to the HTC one m7(att)

So it seems that there are definite benefits of getting S-off for sure, as I am S-on but already rooted/HTC dev unlocked

Hboot 1.55 ~~4T.20.3218.13

On 4.4.2 Viper one v5.7, so I am here on fw to do so.

Thank u , any help is greatly appreciated and apologies ahead of time for the probably dumb noob questions iv asked. I guess I'm still learning?.

Thank u again

Edit:

Well I dl on my pc, I clicked on it and it immediately asks what I want to open the file with, I chose internet explorer but I did nothing and tbh I'm lost.

In the directions it says to dl firewater, I did, then next step is to push, prepare, and execute firewater with adb commands below, have a feeling this is why I'm stuck, and guidance would be appreciated, thank you.

Edit 2:

Assuming im missin adb, dl now

Edit 3:

Dl adb figured out what I'm suppose to do.

Ran first adb command adb reboot

It rebooted so I assume I'm doing what I'm suppose to, but on the 2nd.command that starts with wait-for- device I get:

Cannot stat 'firewater : No such file or directory

Can someone please help? Could it have dl to the wrong location?

Edit 4:

Ok so I was to get things going by putting the firewater file in the correct folder.

So I ended up typing all the proper commands and it went through process and I got to where it asked of undetstanded what the implications of the warnings were I typed Yes.

The it I get 'if firewater hangs' message

Preparing one moment....

The first bottle is open

Chugging......

Here I figures it worked, then it shows the C:\users\ thing so I assume it worked..

So I boot into the bootloader and sadly I still see Tampered / Unlocked and S-on still.

What did I do wrong? It appeared to work? Please help

Edit 5:

Well I tried once more , was able to get through it all and getting to where Im apparently suppose to. Here is a picture that shows the end of the process.

After this, it says about if it hangs for 2 minutes, i waited 5, the phone is off with a black screen, do I hold the power for 60 secs like it says, it reboots a few times, then boots into the os, I reboot into bootloader and it still shows S-on.

I will read through the thread some more but until I can get some help, I guess I'm stuck.

Will wait patiently. Thanks

3rd and final try for now.

Only difference was after 'the first bottle is open...Chugging' and C:\user

Instead of the phone being off and me having the hold the power button for 60 secs, it rebooted on its own, so I went into boot loader for a final look,.hoping to see S-OFF, No go. ???

I think I did a pretty good job walking myself through it without any assistance,.but I'm lost now.
