RUU H4 Rooted and Sideloading OTAs

Hi,

I'm running Graffinx RUU H4 (rooted) and have had the glorious fun of having the OTA L -MR1 "pocket load" while i was on hols and bricking the phone!

Now back home and rebuilt , is it ok to sideload the OTA files which I've found on Oldblue910's post or will having a rooted phone cause the same issue?

Or should i go through the pain of installing the full H6 and rebuilding again?

Thanks

Mike

Yees, you will get the OTA.

Having root doesnt affect the OTA (although you will have to root again)

If you still have doubts, do the test yourself, flash the rooted 4.4.3 RUU and see if you will get OTA for 4.4.4. You could also try to install the 4.4.4 manually as if the OTA had been captured and see if it works.

Both methods work btw xD

I think it was told that root messes with the lollipop update. Said something about if even 1 byte is changed in the system partition the ota will fail.

"That said, if you're one of those who like to tinker with your devices, you'll have to flash a completely stock system image before applying an update because changing anything by so much as one byte will throw off the signature and make it so the OTA will fail."

You will understand how while watching the video. And instead of using the links in on the YouTube site, use the once in the RUU conversion threat, and install the android 4.4.3 version to make sure OTA updates are working.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrodsep:
If I recall he said that the 11000 mid was included in the OTA for 4.4.4 but he would check once the 5.0 dropped to see if this was still correct.

I changed the MID to 17000 from 12000 just in case. Is real easy, even if you're unrooted and with stock recovery. You have to just:

Install twrp

Root

Change CID/MID

Reflash 4.4.3 unrooted RUU

Wait for 4.4.4 ota

Wait for 5.0

I did it in less than 20 minutes and you don't have to worry of anything once 5.0 is released.

I'm fully converted to GPE by using graffixnyc's thread on GPE conversion. Its using 2.12.1700.1, I was told in order to receive this 5.0 OTA update. You must be using the GOOGL001 (CID), Stock Recovery (which gets flashed by hboot flashing 2.12.1700.1(unless you remove the recovery image from that RUU)), and your MID has to be set to 0P6B17000.

How do you have a GOOGL001 cid but have the wrong MID. GPE MID is 0P6B17000. I could be wrong, but I have seen several threads stating it. I have given up changing cid. I'm already superCID, so that parts good. Unfortunately for the MID Changer tool aroma installer none of the ones compatible include the GPE MID.

GOLV and SQUABBI have made aroma installers that will change MIDs through recovery. Golv's never passed the 2nd screen after clicking accept. It just froze. Squabbi's doesn't include the GPE MID (Just the Dev Edition MID and a few other MIDs). I have been seeking an answer to changing CIDs/MIDs without access to a computer,and haven't found a solution, so I gave up...but I believe you might not need root if you are S-off...you can fastboot flash recovery images through bootloader. So I don't think you need root
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxcorex28:
How did you flash GPE ? I'm assuming you flashed RUU 2.12.1700.1,which will flash a stock recovery to the partition. In order to remedy this. Use a file explorer like Root Explorer to navigate the zip file you downloaded. Then delete the recovery.img from the RUU, rezip the file. Rename the file to 0P6BIMG (that's a zero notvan O). Reboot into bootloader, select hboot and start the flash process. You can also run the RUU as a windows excutable. Its not as hard as it sounds,and unfortunately I'd recommend someone with more experience telling you. I don't understand how you managed to convert to GPE in the first place. I don't mean to offend you, but you don't seem to have any knowledge about it. As a FYI...tell me everything you have done to the device, the carrier, are you s-off/s-on, superCID...Try taking screenshots while in bootloader mode (just hit power button+volume up)

It will work as I've converted my M8 to a GPE.

From all of my reading you will lose connectivity if you flash the radio included in the RUU .

There are two options to ensure you can use your phone as a phone - the first is to make sure you've got a copy of the radio to flash at the end of the process (I'm not sure exactly where it would be floating around), or delete the radio.img element of the RUU and you will then maintain your existing radio and there will be no change to what you can and can't access (i.e. you'll still have the same signal/LTE).

I chose to remove the radio.img from the RUU so that I wouldn't have any concerns post flash and it all worked like a charm.

Agreed. I think my battery life is better after converting in fact, because I'm getting a little more or at least the same, but I've changed all my email to push, connected a moto 360, and started leaving wifi on all the time. So it SEEMS like the GPE rom is more forgiving on power usage.

You get tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, and hold horizontal + volume to take a picture.

As an aside, my phone has never worked better since converting ;)
