OTA will upgrade your firmware. If 4.4.4 has rolled out for your version, go back to stock ROM and recovery (if not so already) and you should be able to OTA.
You likely won't be able to OTA direct to 5.0, unless you OTA to 4.4.4 first.
Ok, but i forget the most important things on my first post. I have unlock my bootloader and i'm on viper 2.5. So i think i can't get Ota since i'm on custom ....

If there is an OTA on your version, than yes you can update that way, which will also update your firmware.
Stock ROM and stock recovery are required to OTA.

A random bug, and isolated incidents (I've seen a couple of similar reports as well).

This on the other hand, I can virtually guarantee will break your WiFi.

So i should restore my stock 4.4.2 , and ugrade to 4.4.3 with stock recovery
after that i can flash 4.4.4 custom rom ?
or i should upgrade to 4.4.4 Ota also ?
will upgrading Ota make me capable of flashing 4.4.4 custom roms ?

Flashing a 4.4.4 ROM while on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 firmware will result in broken WiFi (and possibly very long boot times as well). You need to be on 4.4.4 firmware, its simple as that.
Return to stock, OTA to 4.4.3, than OTA to 4.4.4. This will put you on the current firmware.
Or just s-off. I think someone on here mentioned that the sunshine devs will accept gift cards as payment for locations that don't support PayPal.
Hi Guys.
Today, the lollipop update for the desire 816 got released and so I want to go back to stock and install the OTA.
I rooted my phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
I installed some custom roms but wanted to go back to the original software with root so I put this rom backup on my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/rom-backup-htc-desire-816-single-sim-4g-t2890824

I wanted to install it, but get this error:

I have the same issue. This is because you have the firmware for other regions. I like taiwan version and I can not find the drain firmware.
hi eeveryone, I have the xtc one m8 branded 3 UK, unlocked, and wanted to know if the official Lollipop update is out yet from 3, as for a technical reason (s-off), I have to wait for the official firmware update to 4.xx before updating (if I remember now I'm at 3.xx)
because i have on board an unofficial ROM, I don't want to risk to go back to official just to find out that 3 UK has not yet released the update. Technical help on the 3 UK website is basically useless...
many thanks

Should have posted this in Q&A ...
To answer your question, yes .. 3 UK already on lollipop with version no. 4.20.771.2
hi again, long time since.
i would like to upgrade my phone to latest lollypop as it is starting to playing up a bit and need a bit of help. been reading on various threads but i'm a bit rusty on how to do it. just done a nandroid and titanium backup of current rom if things go wrong.
at the moment this is what i have
CID H3G___001 (three uk)
- custom rom android revolution hd 22.1
- android 4.4.4
- baseband 1.22.2133xxxxx
- build n. 3.28.401.9
i found this nadroid backup for my phone,
2.22.771.5_ckpv5.zip
would it be alright to just flash this in recovery, then get official fw update OTA and then, when on the latest fw, reflash the latest custom rom?
or should i flash
One_M8_3.28.401.9_odexed
thanks for your help
2.22.771.5_ckpv5.zip

What is your hboot number?
Does it say anything after OS on the bootloader screen?
You need the stock nandroid that matches your firmware (hboot, etc.). Then after you restore that, install the corresponding stock recovery in order to OTA. After OTA, install TWRP again, and the desired LP custom ROM.

This won't help you. Its the unbranded Euro stock ROM. You need the 771 stock ROM, to match your CID in order to OTA.
Tired of waiting for the MM OTA, I decided to convert my HTC M8 to developer edition.
I've already unlock/root/custom recovery and i got stuck at the s-off. I found out that i need to pay for that and I decided to stop my journey.
Now I'm thinking of flashing a 6.0 MM custom rom based. My question is : What should I do before I flash any custom ROM?
I'm thinking to go back to stock soon and I don't want to mess it up forgeting something.
You need an unlocked bootloader
You need latest lollipop firmware at least when there is no MM firmware yet for your device version - it is a 4.xx.xxx.x firmware
You need to install TWRP 2.8.7.0
You need to install custom ROM (either lollipop or MM base)
Thanks but I think you misunderstand me.
My HTC is already prepared to flash custom rom. I was wondering if i need something to do before i flash my first custom. Something that will help me to go back to stock when i need it.
Make a non-rooted nandroid of your stock ROM. You need it to revert to stock for future OTA or simply back to stock reason.
If you not yet done it, seems it is too late for you because you already root your stock ROM as stated on post #1.
Check my thread link in my signature to see whether there is one non-rooted backup for you.
Yeah, I've already root it
But I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618.
I think maybe this will help me .
Your thread help me too.
Thanks
Err... that link is for M7 ... don't know whether that helps.
I am a newbie from Sweden. Got help with rooting and installing twrp v2.7.0.2
Want to change my android 4.4.3 to 6.
What about firmwere?Does it come together with a new rom. Think I want Wolla or LeeDroid.
Please help!
Take your time and read..
Every rom has instruction on what minimum firmware is required.
Leeroid is great, you wil need to be on 6.xxx firmware for best results..

No, firmware is never flashed with a ROM. And 4.4.3 firmware is too old to run any of the current ROMs. So you need to update firmware.
It would have been best to update firmware while still stock, as you will need to go back stock in order to OTA and update firmware. That is, unless there is an RUU for your version M8, in which case you still need to relock bootloader RUU to update, then unlock again, and flash TWRP again.
