would i be able to unlock bootloader after updating to kitkat ??

thanks for your reply one more thing i would like to ask is wheather i would be able to root and unlock after i have updated to kitkat ?? i am asking this questio because sloosecannon in his thread "[How-To][tutorial] Bootloader Unlock, Custom Recovery Razr M" has said "----IMPORTANT NOTE:----

IF you are on the latest OTA and have NOT unlocked, it is impossible at this time to unlock. It may be possible in the future if someone finds another exploit, but not likely. Basically, if you updated without researching (that's why you shouldn't do that) or got a new one after the OTA"
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
That topic hasn't been updated in some time... As [MENTION=4992322]mrkhigh[/MENTION] said yes go ahead and update to KitKat 4.4.2 (as long as its 182/183.46.10) and root/unlock it... If you run into any issues with the ota check back in here and we'll get you the links to rsd lite and firmware...

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
If it seems too easy you did it right.

The entire process should take 2 minutes. That's with the phone reboot and the boot loader unlock.

We just achieved a new root method like yesterday, but just do things normal upgrade to .10 NOT .15 then run towelroot then motoapokalypse.apk (spelling I'm sure is wrong) if you update to .15 you most likely will never have an unlocked boot loader

I'm on Vodafone in the Netherlands with the Radio version that was in the SA Rom and it works better than the one in the latest 2 Cingular Roms! It even switches back to UMTS, here at my home where b4 when it got on GPRS it never would switch back!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
There's a custom ROM that I wanna flash and it requires a different firmware. Do I flash the firmware first then the ROM? Also, when I flash the firmware is it just like flashing a custom ROM?

Sent from my HTC 1M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes, before you flash the ROM. Main reason, is that the firmware will install stock kernel (therefore over-writing any kernel that is present); so you will want to flash the firmware first, then the custom ROM. That way, the custom ROM install will have the corresponding kernel (if its different from stock, which it may or may not be).

You will also need to re-install custom recovery, as the firmware includes stock recovery (which over-writes the custom one you have now).

Not even remotely similar. You need to flash with hboot. You can follow the excellent instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365

Or here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592

In actuality,

it is possible

to make a recovery flashable zip of the firmware. But I've only seen this on other devices, and haven't seen anyone go to the effort of creating it for the firmware you need.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
Thanks. I flashed the ROM before flashing the kernel just to see what would happen and for some reason my firmware updated as well. I flashed the custom ROM because I also have a backup of my stock ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] revoltech:
The firmware version listed on the software information in settings is

not

an actual representation of your firmware version. Go into your bootloader and see if your firmware version matches your ROM software version.

For example, the bootloader for firmware ver, 2.12.401.3:

Example of rom software version, 1.12.651.17:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
Thanks for pointing it out. What ROM are you using? I've tried flashing the firmware yesterday and I even followed two different tutorials. How did you flash yours?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] revoltech:
I am on ARHD 10.2 and using 2.22.401.4 firmware. I used this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

I am having connection issues (says I have 4G but I get no data. switching airplane mode on/off fixes this) with this particular firmware and researched that I have to flash the 2.22.1540.3 for my ATT phone. I haven't downgraded yet since I am trying to get more feedback for this issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
So it means I haven't flashed a new firmware. I noticed that the service I'm getting isn't as strong as before. Do you thing it's because of the firmware?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Incorrect. His screenshot indicates hboot 3.18, so he is on updated firmware.

However, its a known issue that the "international" 2.22.401 firmware does not play well on US networks. He needs to install 2.22.1540, as he already mentioned.

If you flashed 2.22.401 firmware onto the AT&T version, you should try 2.22.1540 as I just described above.

2.22.1540 firmware is linked in Post #2 above.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
But the ROM that I'm using requires the firmware that I have now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
No it doesn't, it just requires a 2.22.xxx based firmware.

What ROM? The thread probably just says a certain firmware is required, since having any "old" 1.xx firmware causes severe issues (long boot times, broken Bluetooth and WiFi, etc.). Also, it seems that a lot of the ROMs are being developed by owners of the"international" version, so they seem less aware of US-specific issues (although some ROMs like ARHD discuss it in the thread - but not in the top post).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
ARHD
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I already posted this above: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592

Although its not explicitly clear, it says US users "may with to try" the firmware I specified (1540):

"In order to boot and run properly 10.x will require a firmware update to 2.22.401.4

Note: US users may wish to try the 2.22.1540.3 fw. "

AT&T users have reported various connection issues on "international" firmware 401; which is resolved by flashing firmware 1540. This includes NO SERVICE whatsoever on 401. So you tell me, which one is "required"?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
" Note: US users may wish to try the 2.22.1540.3 fw. The 2.22.1540.3 fw is unmodified and includes stock recovery, if you flash the 2.22.1540.3 unmodified fw you will need to reflash custom recovery and regain root or you can remove the boot.img and recovery.img from the fw.zip. The 2.12.401.3 fw is wwe and the 2.22.1540.3 fw is for the US developer m8."

OK I didn't catch the last sentence and it's all clear now. I'll flash the 2.22. The second sentence confused me tho.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
All the 2nd and 3rd sentences mean is that the 1540 firmware package is "unmodified" and therefore over-writes recovery and boot.img with the "stock" versions. This is normal for the "official" firmware packages. For the 401 firmware, it just happens that someone already

modified

it to remove the recovery and boot.img modules, so they will not over-write what is on the phone.

But for the 1540 firmware, this means you need to re-flash your custom recovery after flashing the firmware. If you do as I suggested (original question of this thread) and flash the firmware before the ROM, the issue of boot.img (basically the kernel, although there is some other stuff in that file) and root is really a moot point. Boot.img will install when you flash the ROM, and all the custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
OK. Thanks for the in depth explanation. Makes sense to me now. So from my understanding I have to start fresh when I flash a new firmware. I won't lose s-off or unlock right?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Flashing firmware won't affect s-off, bootloader unlock, or SIM unlock (not sure which "unlock" you meant). None of these can typically be changed unless you do so yourself manually.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cjbart1009:
That's probably why it kept on failing when I was flashing the firmware cause I already have it on my phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] The_Fry_Guy:
PS. everyone, flashing firmware does NOT replace recovery with stock recovery...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
An official signed firmware will definitely replace custom recovery with stock recovery.

Only if the firmware has had stock recovery removed, or TWRP inserted (such as SneakyGhost's firmware marked "TWRP") will the recovery be TWRP afterwards. And you need s-off to flash any such firmware (as changing it, breaks the signature - and unsigned firmware can't be flashed with s-on).

As clearly stated in the thread by mike1986:

Does firmware.zip contains recovery?

Yes, it does contain recovery image, that's why after flashing firmware.zip you will have to flash custom recovery again, to be able to flash custom ROM afterwards.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubermorgan:
Hi guys, i'm still new to rooting and roming. Heres what i have done on the absaloutley wonderfull s3 19305LTE 4.3 australian model.

Rooted the phone no problem with odin

There were dramas with superSU but got them fixed when i deleted and re installed superSU.

Accodring to rom manager i backed up my rom. So i'm thinking great, now i can download a rom.

i got the galaxy project rom thing which is working great....however

superSU is now saying that SU binary needs to be installed, it's saying i need to manually re root which i can't seem to do.

Titanium back up is not working.

Rom manager can't find any backups which is juuuuust peachy!!

Now odin won't see the phone when it's in download mode, it only sees the phone when its in normal operation.

and i can't seem to see the ime number or whatever it is, which is probably why odin can't see the phone in download mode?

Can anyone........anybody at all............help?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
You need to post in the i9305 q&a section for more detailed help.

Try not to use rom manager, it creates more issues than it fixes.

no imei number will not make odin not connect to it.

Can you access recovery? if so reflash the rom.

Problem with streamin' sound to headset I've solve that: install BCHS BlueTooth driver update (get on FTP), select check box "stream audio to headset", then install MortPlayer (search thread at forum, there you'll find link to this player and how to make it work). Thats all.. I've just remember: Find tread where is talked about "Mort Player", and youll find cabs and links.
