Update Rooted HTC M7?

    Hi guys, I've been at this for months and getting nowhere.

    Basically I rooted my m7 when I got it around 2 years ago. It was bought on Three with 4.3 on it. I am happy with the phone and don't want to but a new one as of yet, but would like to use 4G. I have SuperUser access.

    So, I have looked or the original RUU file, I went through the command prompt and found the necessary details and a corresponding file link to return to stock but unfortunately that link was dead and I cannot find another no matter what amount of searching I have done.

    Everything I have been searching for ends up telling me to flash that missing RUU, so I'm wondering is there another way? I don't necessarily want to unroot the phone, I just want 4G on it, can I update the root?

    Before the HTC I was usuing iPhone and it was straight forward, I did research before I rooted the android and it seemed straight forward enough to unroot, but I didnt realise that the RUU I needed was going to disappear from the net :/

    Any thoughts? I'm hoping that I've been looking at this all wrong and there is away of doing something without unrooting the phone as pretty much every reason I have found that people want to do this is because the specifically want to reurn to stock whereas I am happy wither way.

    Thanks!!

    Are you sure the M7 has 4G ?

    I had one and don't remember having 4G

    yeah, it defo has 4g- there was an update available well over a year ago when they started rolling it out but I couldnt install because of the root, hence the question :/
