I have a HTC One Max it is s-off routed and unlocked
I'm using the viper 1.01 rom verizon 4.3
I would like to use the viper 2.0 rom
kitkat 4.42. Will it work properly as I don,t
have the kitkat 4.42 ota update? What do I have to do
to get the ota update and use the viper 2.0 rom?
Or is it inbedded in the viper 2.0 rom.
I did try flashing it however could not get wi-fi to work.
I did try reading for this in viper forms -but ???

I am not exactly sure if you need to take an OTA to be able to flash ViperMax 2.0.0. However, OTA will certainly upgrade your phone's bootloader which is 2.49.0.000
You need to unroot your phone to be able to take OTA.
To unroot:
* Restore stock backup
* flash stock recovery
* Relock your bootloader.
* After all of this, boot into stock recovery and Factory Rest and finally boot into your phone.
Now you should be able to receive OTA.

Let me know if you would need to know something else.

The 4.4.2 firmware isn't included in Viper 2.0 rom. It can be installed as stated in farazhassankhan post or fastboot installation.

from version 4.3 to4.4.2

if your s-off you don't want to change you bootloader, just install 2.0 and wait(if someone makes one)for a flashable firmware for s-off users.with stock recovery and hboot removed,

so you are saying I can flash 4.4.2 roms even tho I am on 4.3 right now (viper 1.0.1) I had tried viper 2. but could not get wi fi to work ------
Do you know if their is some kind of fix for that Wi-Fi ? or mabe it was just me or a bad download I had flashed.
I thought I had to take the OTA update to use 4.4.2 roms --Thanks for yall"s time and efort

yeah you can flash it, are you on twrp 2.6.3.0 or higher no problem i would flash viperone 2.. clean flash that is.

wipe:
dalvic
cache
data
system

not the internal(be careful here, you don't check it by mistake
boot to recovery, tap wipe>advanced wipe, then select the above

if wifi still doesn't work you may need to flash the radio from the update. i don't have this phone so, maybe someone here will make a flashable for just the radio are you s-off??

Just an updated radio and hboot are the only difference. Who is your provider so I can link you to the correct its firmware.

The boot.img is located in the vipe zip folder you download that has your rom.zip
Is that what you were asking?

It might just be easier for you to backup your data. And just flash either a stock rom or RUU and it will update itself.
