Hello, is there a way to directly flash the official B585 from scratch without having to flash Marshmallow first?
Maybe a stupid question but i'm a little confused.
No u must be on a full marshmellow version

Hi, I been thinking about flashing my desire to a custom Rom but I want to be able to update to the official update when it is released by htc. Is the possible or will I need to flash back to the original Rom first?

no, once htc release an official rom, you can just flash the ruu as usuall i wouldnt advise it tho or you may have trouble rooting, wait for a dev to remove the new hboot and root it before you flash
I wanted to flash this rom

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 ....
Hello guys,
following situation:
Long time I had a 4.4.something Rom installed. Before I flashed a custom Lollipop rom, I followed the advice to just go back to stock and let it update to Lollipop so that the firmware will be updated accordingly and I won't run into problems when flashing a Lollipop Custom Rom. Everything worked fine. Now I had to send my phone to HTC for display repair and just to make sure they won't nag about the custom Rom I reflashed some older stock rom via TWRP backup I found here, I think it was a 4.0 or so. The question is, does this also affect my phones firmware or is it still on the current newest level? So when I get it back, would I need to update to stock Lollipop again before flashing a custom rom or can I go for it straight away?

It won't affect your firmware.
Okay thanks, so Firmware should still be up to date and I can flash a Lollipop Custom Rom. I don't know what they do at HTC repair, if they only reset it or if they also update it, well I'll see.
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.
