No and no.

To take the OTA you will need a STOCK recovery and typically an unaltered version of HTC's Android (though sometimes it will take the OTA and just break root.

You should not lose international unlock since that is done completely different (a much deeper level then base android). If you do lose it for some reason call sprint and they will reissue your unlock code.

I think it's funny how everyone is soooo excited about Lollipop...once it arrives everyone will do what they always do regarding a new update.

They will complain!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] phillip1953:
The grass is always greener... :)

Lollipop works pretty decent on my OG N7...NOW. But that first release; I'd rather have had a root canal.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] phillip1953:
I'm going to re-download the zip file Tommy posted and try again. I've never had this much hassle doing this. :)

Now I'm getting some stupid FAILED <remote: 24 parsing android-info fail>

Off to my search engine to see what the heck is up. :)

Am I supposed to be flashing this zip file through TWRP rather than a command window?

The download is 837,681 in size. But in my command window, it seems to show only 837,680?

This is getting frustrating... and I'm a fairly patient fellow. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Yes that is what I am waiting for too.

I am on ViperRom with Kangaroo kernel and everything is going to smooth

,stable and long lasting battery time that I don't even want to lollipop!!

I just love the DT2W feature a lot and I would hate to give it up.

Hopefully soon the lollipop bugs will be sorted out and then some one will

release the stock vanilla version with DT2W feature then I will jump on this lollipop bandwagon.

This is not meant for OTA.zip this is for firmware. Just read the threads will ya? OTA is not meant for you if you are not completely stock SPRINT ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] phillip1953:
" Just read the threads will ya?"

What are you, two years old? Do you actually think I haven't poured through everything posted? If you have nothing worthwhile to say to help, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!!

Tommy just edited his OP to include what you so brilliantly added <sarcasm BTW :) >

Usually....at least since my days on the OG EVO here on XDA ....a vanilla stock rooted zip file was ready to flash within a day or two of the release by Sprint.

And I AM on a stock ROM. I'm s-off and rooted., but on a stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nwo122383:
here is what i did at first i ran the RUU and it failed i was running the sense 6 lollipop port from [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]. So after that i flashed the modified firmware from the post here on another thread the one that says modified (its in the quote below). So i went into the bootloader typed

fastboot oem rebootRUU

when it shows the htc logo and black background i typed the command to flash the firmware. make sure the firmware is in the platform-tools directory of the android sdk folder. (at least thats how it is on pc) i renamed it to 1firmware.zip as i had another file in there called firmware.zip and didnt want to overwrite it. then i did

fastboot flash zip 1firmware.zip

it went through the command and it failed but it was the fail that just means you run it again and sure enough it went through on the second attempt.

after this i did this command

fastboot reboot-bootloader

after this i loaded up the RUU it went through the paces and flashed. i am now running the official update. hope this helps
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lerenturk:
I didn't meant to offend you but actually it's been said many times on various threads. And btw even 2 year olds don't try flashing OTA through Fastboot command. ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nwo122383:
Also for anyone running the RUU it will erase the contents of the internal storage so make sure you backup your storage before doing this

Root after OTA?

I have S-Off, so I flashed back to the stock recovery in preparation for the OTA figuring I could just flash back to TWRP and reinstall SuperSU. Apparently, I was wrong. Every time I try installing SuperSU through TWRP, it says it's successful, but when I reboot (after wiping cache, and the last time after running "fix permissions" to see if that helped), it runs through the "optimizing apps" thing, and I have no root.

Anybody else take the OTA and been able to get root again?

Edit: - Not sure how it happened, but somehow I ended up with version 1.94 instead of the current 2.45 - I guess he has the old versions available on his site still and the link I got from Google was an old one? Anyway, got the new one and root is back in action.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
I have root. Chainfire has a new apk for android L. Download latest supersu apk from chainfire and copy to sdcard. You will need to extract the zip file from the apk and flash the zip in recovery. Then select reboot in twrp and twrp will ask you if you want to install supersu say yes. Then install supersu apk by selecting it in file browser.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Apk07:
I have root but apaprently cant remove any system apps... whats with that?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
I should add that I am no longer soff because I had not read about the newer security models in the latest Sprint HTC RUUs. I used the previous stock rooted odexed Rom for my update to Sprint HTC lollipop release. For now I am s on and I am considering staying s on. I use secure boot on all my Linux boxes so I am considering developing an hboot similar to EFI security spec.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gabedude:
Primmer

Android L has some very advanced security software. You can remove them, but you have to comply with the security model or "train" your own security model. There are developers looking into this, but you might want to ask yourself if removing the stock system apps is worth less security... Since 4.0, Android has increased the amount of deep learning code in their apps. If you have had Android devices since 4.0 (I have stuck with HTC for my phone and HTC also has deep learning code in some of their apps) Android apps (on all of your devices, lets just call the learning code enabled apps Android as they share data much like neurons in the human brain) have been learning your preferences, how you use your phone, your personal interface preferences and so much more. If you are a developer who has studied deep learning and neural networks you would get a better and understandable answer that does not sound like science fiction. With that said this is how you "train" your Android L if it is "acting up".

1. Talk to your phone telling it no, I want this icon here and it to stay there!

2. Keep repeating replacing icons where you want them.

3. If your phone opens an app or does something weird, read what is on the screen (often your phone is trying to help you help it change a setting as the AI code may not have access to that setting).

4. In SuperSu, give unprompted root access to all apps (seriously the AI is that good).

5. If you get frustrated act frustrated. The phone understands facial emotions.

6. If you still cannot get the phone to change your interface the way you want it, reboot it.

7. Don't freak out when you figure out that your phone is communicating with you in it's own way.

8. The AI does not want to scare you and show you everything it can do.

9. Be prepared to think you are going crazy.

:)

I suggest everyone who wants to fully take advantage of their phone at east read this wiki:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
I've not done it for Lollipop, but I like to roll my own stock rooted by running the RUU to go back to stock, flashing TWRP, and then using that to flash SuperSU. This is as close as you can get to perfectly stock while still having root.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I have a question!!

Guys When I try to install the latest RUU, After I execute the RUU file, install Wizard comes up.

After I check "I agree......" nothing happens. Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong

or What needs to be done so I can install official L update.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Not that I've heard.

I'd try running it as an administrator. Also, maybe you need to redownload it. You could also try a different PC in case the computer is missing something.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Yes I have tried running it as admin/regular multiple times, also rebooted the system multiple times but no avail.

I tried another RUU which was the previous one and same thing!! :(

I have windows 8.1

I have also tried to flash the latest modified firmware but I keep getting error.

I have bootloader unlocked but I am S-on
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
It makes me wonder if the drivers are right.

Does your computer see your phone in fastboot? When you are in fastboot on your phone (red fastboot showing) and you plug it in to USB (so it shows "fastboot USB"), does "fastboot devices" show your phone? Windows 8.1 can be tricky with drivers.

Because you are s-on, you cannot flash the modified firmware. You can only flash the full firmware from OTA. I'm s-off, so I'm not sure, but I think you have to lock your bootloader first.

Because you are s-on, you will need to lock your bootloader before flashing the RUU. Maybe that's why it keeps crashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
Yes my computer does see my phone and phone also shows fastboot USB.

I tried to flash the OTA posted but again I get an error.

I did re-lock my bootloader before attempting the RUU but no avail.

I have executed the RUU both while my phone was connected via USB and with out connecting

it to PC but that RUU does not go beyond the "I agree..." screen.

I tried to go S-off but firewater did not work for me, I have hboot1.57
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
I believe on that hboot, you can go s-off using Sunshine if you don't mind paying the $25. I don't know exactly what you've tried in what order, but here's what I'd try next:

1. Go to this thread and download the full firmware from OTA (third link) and the RUU.exe (first link)

2. Lock your bootloader with "fastboot oem lock"

3. Rename the firmware file to "firmware.zip"

4. Flash the firmware: Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then after it reboots to the black HTC screen, type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip". If you get an error, retype that again and it should succeed. When your command window is back to a prompt, type "fastboot reboot-bootloader".

5. When back into the now stock updated to hboot 1.6 bootloader, run the RUU.exe file you downloaded and follow the prompts. Hopefully it won't error out this time.

If it does error out, maybe try a different USB port on your computer (USB 2.0 tends to work better than 3.0) or try a different PC.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
To be honest with you I have exactly done what you have asked me to do long before posting here expect

my bootloader was unlocked, the firmware just kept giving me errors. Maybe I need to be S-off to flash modified

firmware or something.

Unfortunately the RUU is not going pass the phase when I click "I agree .." otherwise I think it would update

my firmware and upgrade to L as well.

I really do appreciate you trying to help!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Yes, you cannot flash the modified firmware unless you are s-off. Since you are s-on, you have to flash the FULL firmware from OTA (third link).

That is true, but when I tried to run an RUU, I had to first flash the firmware separately and then flash the RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
I am going to give the full firmware another shot and get back to this forum. I know I have

tried to flash both full and modified firmware but kept getting error in past.

I even flash back to my original rooted 4.4.2, Re-Locked my BootLoader, checked to see if

there was a manual update but got a message that my system is latest and there is no update for me.

this is strange!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:

Thank you for your reply, If I restore my phone with a previous RUU for example

will my htboot also revert back to a previous version?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasr:
It seems like I am in a no win situation, I am unable to flash the latest firmware, The

Latest RUU is not working for me, it stops in the beginning of the process, and the

S-Off is also no go for me. I think the only option I have is to use the second last RUU

and try to upgrade via the OTA.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] trcurren:
A couple of things I've noticed. The messages app is finally useable again, very fast. Before it was terribly laggy. Also, DND is gone, replaced by androids lollipop interruptions. And WiFi calling is completely removed now. These are what I've noticed so far.

Ontopic: As one who has been using custom ROMs since day two of having the device, I have to say that having Android 5 on my device before the officials is a nice feeling. Also, expect a new official ROM coming to the m7spr. :cowboy:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
It does. I regularly got over 4.5 hours of SOT, though standby was approximately the same. However, with the Xceed kernel, I'm coming too dang close to JB levels of battery to nitpick, mainly because the standby is actually really good.

tl;dr Yeah, Sense 5 has better battery life, but screw it, it's close enough.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
This phone is a beast. 2 years in, and it's gone through 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. And we're just about to get 5.0. And with OP's statement getting Sense 7 in July, HTC is showing commitment for it's devices. I'm pretty happy about this. First week of February can't come soon enough.

The HTC Update site says the M8 is in Integration stage, and the M7 is still sitting in Development. We're pretty much getting this in April or May at this point.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
If that's the case, they should just integrate Sense 7 for one final blowout update (except minor fixes of course).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rank78:
Much of this is on Google, they keep updating 5.0 due to various bugs they can't fix and HTC has to go back and make sure those changes play nice with their software.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
There are versions of 5.0 running with Sense that have been officially released by now. So, I really don't want them to try and put all the blame on Google.

It looks like the software update delay is about 3 weeks at this point for M7 and M8 HTC Users. it will be Android 5.0.2 With Sense 6. Beta Testing Sense 7 will start Mid-April . Some Carriers aren't happy with less bloatware. and Sprint still should be the first Carrier to have Android L on M7 and M8. Sprint really trying to get this Wi-Fi calling going with older phones like M7.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
Do you know if the M7 and M8 will get the update simultaneously? I'd imagine dropping 2 updates at the same time would be pretty hard for them. M8 would probably get it first.

The updates will be apart at this time maybe week apart. They is discussion about rolling them out at the same time no official word as of this morning. The RUU will be posted on HTC ROM Download page within 2 weeks after update has rolled out to users.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but could you ruu to stock lock the bootloader with fastboot run the ota then unlock bootloader with fastboot (not htcdev) then root the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MFOsaka:
Dope. Something to look forward to by the weekend...should be a rooted stock ROM by then.

I have a feeling that it might be gimped though via HTC trying to not make it as expansive as the M8 version (ie HTC Eye Experience), so I wonder if we can get the radio fixes and the like and apply them to santod's ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
According to the HTC Update page, it says that HTC Eye Experience is currently in the development stage for the Sprint M7. It also says the Lollipop update is in the development stage. Might be lucky. I know we're getting WiFi calling, which is ****ing HUGE! I've been waiting FAR too long for that. We should've gotten it with the 4.4 update like the One Max did, but they fell short for some reason.

[MENTION=5390706]tommyjoesanders[/MENTION], you said deadline was Feb 5th. I started to get doubtful when I heard there was a delay, but you pulled through. You're now my VERY credible source for updates. Thanks for the transparency that you're able to provide us. Do you know anything about the Eye Experience by chance? Will it be with this update?
