Title says it all.. I read that once you root the hero you cannot receive firmware updates OTA. Is this true? If it is, then how can we update our devices?
I had a stock ROM rooted, and was able to receive the OTA update and it successfully applied.
So I have MoDaCo installed, can I install the update over it?
thank you for any help
Anyway to install with a stock rom, without using the built in OTA update tool?

Somewhat. I received the update OTA but it wouldnt install due to the custom recovery image.

Not from sprint, but you can load the newest FreshROM over it and be updated. However be aware that the rom breaks the link between media being played the and bt device.

I assume there should be a download of it somewhere, if not sprint, google, or HTC, then on some forum....
For those of us who are rooted, don't want to update parts of the OS, who want to stay on an older versions of updated OS files, or just are on a custom ROM, here is a flashable of the firmware updates (which include bootloader).
This updates your bootloader to version 3.15.
Freeza, you rule... Just saying

Nice work!
Quick question for you, will the bootloader and firmware updates persist after custom ROM updates or will I need to reflash each time?
for example, I'm running CarbonRom at the moment which is based on JSS15Q - I've flashed this zip without any problems but will I need to reflash it when I install the next nightly?
Cheers
Macca
It will persist. No need to reflash.

I should be more clear, in the example you gave, it will persist, but if you do something that will flash the bootloader like factory restore or its updates, the bootloader could change

Yeah, I should have been clearer as well - I was basically checking that custom roms don't flash the bootloader (I'd assumed that a factory restore / ota update would)
Nice to see ya here Freeza!
I am currently on [JSS15Q] - CleanROM 1.6 I am wondering if this would work with my current rom as a dirty flash? anyone tired while on CleanRom 1.6?

Does firmware mean the audio driver, sensor driver, wifi driver etc?

No, it means bootloader, resource power manager, trusted zone.
Quick queastion , I was on JSS15J when stock, flashed ROM that says now JLS36C. If I flash this will it erase everything and do I even need to? Thanks for the help.
It won't erase any user data. Whether you want to flash is up to you. You'll get it automatically if you wait for jls36g ota.
Why is the 3.15 bootloader not available as .img file in the google recovery as always? I normally flash bootloader ONLY by using fastboot?!
Awesome!
I flashed this and my dead gold fish came back to life!
You're the man, OP!

After successful flashing this zip-file on my rooted JSS15Q version with TWRP the Android version is still JSS15Q. That's right? I expected JSS15R.

This is just the bootloader that came with 15R. If you want 15R, download and flash the full rom package.

I would be very careful with this. Please do some research before flashing.. there has been some reports of soft-bricking. The file will not flash with TWRP or CMW and needs the stock recovery. Also, you will need to do some extra work to get a custom recovery working and root.

I am pretty certain that ship has sailed. Moto caught on to the exploit before and fixed it with an update, and KK is much more secure than any prior software. I highly doubt another exploit is going to be found.
For all my 9.30.1 people, I love you guys too.http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQimdea
Enjoy that official KK ota for 9.30.1 over that slow ass chinese server and stop trying to get the 9.18.94 to work.

You should only apply updates with the same Cxxx as yours.I thought that you have C432 from the other guy's post so I'm sorry.
And I've found B210 with C469 so you can update to this first with extracting the recovery from it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing via fastboot and then updating via dload but i don't know if there's EMUI 4.0 for C469.

Hi,
What happens if you update with the wrong Cxxx?
I just got a used p8 that's got GRA-L09C02B191 on it. I'd like to update it to Android6 before starting to screw around with custom ROMs. I've got FirmwareFinder running, and it's already found 200+ options, none of which appears to be C02, despite that being my range setting. Is my model unupdateable?
TIA!

Thanks for the lightning fast reply!
That's not so bad, I don't care about themes, don't use Android Pay, and doing the updates manually isn't a huge pain. Is there anything else that I lose? Presumably I'll be able to roll back to gra-l09c02b191 to restore full functionality?
So can I then just go directly for the latest firmware, which I guess is B370?
Thanks!

You should try it.I don't think it will affect your warranty because it is an official ota zip.This zip only checks if your phone is marshmallow or not, if it is mm, then it should flash properly.

The update is probably detecting the 3 version as a different rom so it wont install . If you flash to S048 row rom , let it update to S062 then you should receive the OTA update to nougat

When you apply to unlock the bootloader the phone contacts Lenovo over the internet , so the countdown timer runs from their end . so your safe to reset , upgrade etc
