Would be awesome if we got the update today but will google push it out before nexus 4? I'm sure they want to wait for galaxy s4 play store edition to get updated too so they can announce "all play store variants are getting the update now".
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Technically, the Nexus 4 update is already out in the form of a factory image.
[One (M7) General] Alcoholic:
yes i know they released the factory image. they did not push out the OTA.

i am almost certain they won't push out an update to play store version before nexus. That would be insane.
[One (M7) General] Orginator:
1. I've converted to google edition -> RUU-HTC_One_GE-3.06.1700.10.zip + google CID

2. I retrieved the OTA update -> JWR66Y.H1

3. Flashed CWM recovery

4. Now I wanted to go back to stock google edition recovery, so extracted recovery.img from the RUU .zip and flashed it

5. However when I boot into recovery (wanted to check if it worked) it loads for a while and then shows a broken droid, is that normal behavior? Isn't there suppose to be some kind of a stock-recovery-menu? Have I missed something here?

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] gutbomb:
Why insane exactly? The only people that care are a few incredibly obsessed individuals and even then that wouldn't influence their phone buying decisions. Get real.
[One (M7) General] devinthomas:
Doubtful. Google doesn't seem big on announcements anymore, really. I can easily see them not saying a thing and just rolling them out. I wish they'd post factory images for GPE, though.
[One (M7) General] mitchst2:
I thought the same. Thought I'd borked the phone when that little android bugger fell over :eek:

Apparently power + volume up displays a menu.
[One (M7) General] daverdfw:
yes thats the normal recovery screen you would hit volume up and power to get the menu
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
HTC rocks. Google on the other hand. Let's see how long it takes them to push it now that they have it ready to go. I'll be pissed if they sit on it for no reason other than not wanting to update a GPE before every Nexus is updated.
[One (M7) General] :
Yeah, if they delay this for no reason i'd be very dissapointed :(
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I think they will delay it and blame it on something legit.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Lol @ HTC being better then Google. HTC are terrible at getting updates out on time.
[One (M7) General] rbrandser:
I'm sure there must be a way to find the factory image, can someone with connections in the NSA hack Google and find those files?

Or maybe llabtoofer can leak a Rom?

I'm going crazy waiting....

And when I get 4.4 gpe I will go crazy waiting for developers edition. And after that it will be time for android 5.0 m&m's.

Anyone actually get the OTA? Post proof for all the internet +1's
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
You can bet that when it happens I can vouch I'll take a ss and try to post URL. I've never done that before but I want to help such an awesome community.

Seems everybody is patiently waiting for the ota :thumbup:

[One (M7) General] hack14u:
11:15 CST here, and nothing, folks we aren't getting it tonight, and we can now lay that on Google, not HTC, they did their part. Let's go to bed and hope for better days ahead.
[One (M7) General] Perry977:
It dont seem like they will push the ota before N4...
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
Well, I waited, it feels like a Christmas Eve, and I am 5 again, the family is asleep, and I am alone in waiting for Santa (Google) but then I am thrown forward knowing full well that there is no such thing as Santa and he's not coming down the chimney (OTA pipe).
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Well, not sure Google has ever pushed a weekend OTA, so we may be SOL until at least Monday now.
[One (M7) General] pr0x2:
So much for that 2 weeks... *sigh* HTC will go bankrupt sooner than later.
[One (M7) General] CheesyNutz:
its not htc its GOOGLE holding it back
[One (M7) General] pigr8:
i think they are going to push the OTA on the M7 and i9505G when the N4 OTA is ready, correct me if i'm wrong but for the N4 there is no OTA for now right? only a factory image and binaries..
[One (M7) General] CheesyNutz:
correct !
[One (M7) General] tbalden:
Yeah... And is going to happen soon, sooner than any other update happened on former htc devices.. The fact that htc brought gpe for the one cooperating with Google is awesome... Till then anyone can taste kitkat in the numerous aosp based Roms around here ..

Kudos for htc for delivering it so fast to Google.. A few more days, does that really matter... :)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Google, HTC, Samsung, Apple..... Doesn't matter who it is they're ALWAYS late on their deadlines. Why everyone gets so upset when the update doesn't come on the day it "should" have I'll never know. You should all just accept that any date given by anyone.... Ever..... Should be taken with a pinch of salt.

This includes everything by the way..... Building construction, road works, store openings, product releases of any sort including phones, software updates or releases of any sort for any platform including TV boxes, PC's, Consoles or phones etc.. The list goes on...

Just be prepared for disappointment and you won't be disappointed. :)
[One (M7) General] pigr8:
It' more than a promise matter, Google said on KK launch: "4.4 is now ready for the N5, in 1 week will arrive on the other Nexus and in 2 weeks on GPE's".

So it's not really important when customers get they s.o. upgraded but you cant say something like that and not doing what YOU said.. just dont say anything or say: "In some weeks, or somewhen in November".

sad.
[One (M7) General] kennypow3rs:
To be honest 4.4 is much over hyped. I see nothing out of the ordinary that I simply cannot use my phone without. New launcher that makes icon sizes annoyingly large yay, hangout SMS mix yay, Experimental ART yay lol. You people act like crack heads just be patient. I have it on my N7 just in case you're wondering.

I just want my xbox one...
[One (M7) General] The Project:
I dont think you understand. 4.4 fixes a huge battery problem for the HTC One.
[One (M7) General] kennypow3rs:
I'm hiding from my wife and kid for about a week to play BF4 lol. I'm not that old (27) so yes i still enjoy good ole video games every now and then!

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I guess we shall see. So far my battery isnt terrible with my one but its not amazing either..
[One (M7) General] Timmyfoxeh:
Sense ain't bad and GPE is pretty fine but AOSP is terrible. 4.4 should improve a lot for most devices if the claims are correct.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Kidding me dude.?? HTC did their part on the day they said. Its up to Google now.
[One (M7) General] :
What problem does it fix? Or do you just mean general improvements?
[One (M7) General] kickassdave:
In 4.4 the OS has incorporated the different sensor processes in to normal OS processing cycle. Which means GPS etc no longer cause wakelocks. Anything that uses location, gyroscope etc is no longer a ***** on battery.

This is my understanding... although I could just direct you towards Google's own description.... /sigh
[One (M7) General] LikeaG2root:
HTC did nothing but shift the blame of no update in 15 days to Google. Very convenient of HTC to do so. Bottomline there is no update.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Have a little patience man. Google will still push it. Its not "convenient". Its what they have to do. Just wait. Just a few more days man. Can't spend every waking minute hitting f5 or hitting refresh
[One (M7) General] Vadrieldur:
Google will probably wait for Samsung and after Nexus 4 they will push the ota for GP editions.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I sense a lot of future anger towards Google.
[One (M7) General] spooo:
i dont think so

Google will push it maybe next week i think
[One (M7) General] raikesy:
Pretty hilarious how emotional people get over an OS update. Its not as if your phone is somehow incapacitated without 4.4. Can't really fault HTC or Google here, its been two weeks - chill out.
[One (M7) General] CheesyNutz:
Roflmao it's out of HTC's hands

[One (M7) General] kennypow3rs:
See, success kid gets it...
[One (M7) General] blackroseMD1:
Looks like some of you need this, cause you turn into whiny little girls when waiting for an update.

You want the update ASAP? Start looking for the OTA URL and see if it's there yet. Jeez...it's been two weeks and Nexus devices just got their update. Another week on 4.3 isn't gonna make your phone explode.
[One (M7) General] The Project:
But they said we would have the OTA by yesterday. That didn't happen. Poor communication between companies? HTC should have given them the code earlier? Its unknown why we don't have it, but the fact is that HTC promised we would have our update as late as the 15th. It just goes to shoe how they aren't credible...
[One (M7) General] bloodrain954:
This is HTC's sorry attempt to blame someone else. "we took 2 weeks to get you the code, here you go Google, you've got a few hours before XDA kids get pissed"
[One (M7) General] mitchst2:
Fair play to HTC I say. Where's Samsung eh?

At least we know it's ready to go when Google see fit.
[One (M7) General] ohwut:
I have no problem with this assuming it isn't another 2 weeks. HTC got the code out within 15 days and I find that to be a miracle. Google is still only a few days ahead on nexus devices where they have been able to work on the code the entire time since, you know, it's their code and devices. The fact HTC did what Google had months to do in nearly the same time frame is amazing. Not even Google owned Motorola has come close to this kind of release schedule, it's truly astounding for a 3rd party.
[One (M7) General] The Project:
Even that being true, don't tell us 15 days when they are planning on giving the code to google on the 15th day. I'm not mad its taking this long, I'm mad that they got me excited for it.
[One (M7) General] CheesyNutz:
This fits lots of people here

From my One while peeking in your window
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Lol dude. You'd be pissed off if they didn't give any date at all, saying why aren't they saying anything, Google has released it already etc..

They have to give at least some reference as to when they're 'hoping' to release it. But anyone who lives in the real world, knowing that things beyond your control can happen sometimes or that an estimated release date is just that.... Estimated. Nothing was ever set in stone was it? Did anyone ever say that you will 100% receive the 4.4 update on the 15th November? No!! I'm sure HTC and Google aren't doing nothing, I'm sure they're working their asses off to try and get the update out to as close to when they'd hoped as possible. After all its what makes their money.

A lot of you guys/girls really need to just take a step back, chill out and get on with your life for a bit. Your phone is still effing awesome even before getting the update so stop acting as though this delayed ota release is somehow making your beast of a phone not worth having..... Get a damn grip lol.... I want the update and am anxious to receive it but there's really no need to get so uptight about a blemmin software update haha
[One (M7) General] justkidding74:
Htc never sead that OTA arrives at 15. but that htc will provide 4.4 by that date which they did end Google will seed Ota for htc one and s4 at the same time after nexus 4 ota is deliverd so you can stop spaming thread!
[One (M7) General] Krisbo:
I've been lurking around these forums a long time and it's a shame to see how whiny and impatient the community has gotten. Sit down, take a breath and wait.

When you gave HTC your money, you purchased a phone as it was. They aren't legally or morally obligated to update our phones to the latest Android version. We should be excited that HTC is working so hard for us to get 4.4 here as fast as they can, not hating on them for it.

I'm surprised HTC don't just tell you buggers to go jump and put their time and effort into their next phone.
[One (M7) General] rbrandser:
I agree, to some degree.

I am thankful HTC really make an effort to provide updates.

In the matter of 4.4 , Jason Mackenzie CEO of HTC USA made an official statement, that HTC one gpe would get 4.4 within 15 days (from the 31st October).

Now, if you say a thing like that, you got a ****storm coming your way if it doesn't happen.

And, if HTC actually told their customers to go jump, I guess the sales would be affected in some way. :)

Now, where is that update?
[One (M7) General] krammster:
I think it just makes people get worked up more with the fact that the update is out there somewhere and not in their hands. I made my device a proper "Play Edition" device today, so I'm excited for when the OTA update comes through. I can wait though, its a good update but not game changing. Some of the cooler features are already available on jellybean (GEL, Hangouts SMS).
[One (M7) General] :
Sounds good, although I don't use many apps that read from the sensors while the phone is sleeping.

I have 4.4 on my 2013 nexus 7 and aside from some things being snappier it doesn't really feel like a huge update.

I wonder if 4.4 will fix those final bits of stutter when the sense version of it comes out. Some things that would always stutter on 4.3 like scrolling in the play store and tapping on a youtube video to display the progress bar are now smooth on my N7.
[One (M7) General] dobbs3x:
Does anyone know the main features GPE has vs AOSP on the One specifically?

Also anyone know a link to where the factory Images might be located for GPE? I know the where the link for the aosp is.

Good, then we shall fight in shade!
[One (M7) General] kennypow3rs:
Since it seems like most of you may be in high school and don't understand the real world yet, when businesses say days, they're usually referring to business days. Weekends are NOT counted. So if it was said on the 31st technically its only been 11 days since the announcement. No company counts weekend days you fools. Its only been 11 business days...

Its coming the 21st or 22nd.
[One (M7) General] sahil sharma:
Seriously everybody if you have to have the latest OS updates on ur phones and across all devices and not having to trade in phones Etc just for a normal OS upgrade then go buy an iDevice. They launch their OS on the Rhine they say and across all devices right at the same time. Now Be Calm and wait When the Beat Drops...
[One (M7) General] pandaball:
Sooo...

The GPE discussion thread somehow derailed so badly that I thought it became a Nexus 5 discussion thread. Or a GEL discussion thread. I also saw Obama, a mini console war and some rather useless questions, shall we say.

With all this in mind, I was seriously contemplating closing this thread. I cleared literally half of the posts in the 10 most recent pages. 50/100. However, I will not (for now). Maybe if it goes off topic again, then yes. You have been warned ;)
[One (M7) General] jehowe:
Ok serious question. My GPE One is S-Off'd, unlocked, and rooted w/TWRP recovery- will I need to undo any of this to get a successful OTA to 4.4?
[One (M7) General] v-b-n:
Best to install the Stock Recovery before OTA and also change CID to GOOGL001 (not necessary, I think since people with SuperCid also got the updates)
[One (M7) General] tiny4579:
You definitely don't need to lock the bootloader or undo s-off for an ota. I think TWRP should be able to apply an ota even with unmodified root. If not you can still sideload it. Ota rootkeeper with supersu pro caused an issue for me on my nexus 7 tho so be careful id you're going to use that option.
[One (M7) General] alangrig:
Mine is S-offed, super cid. Installed GPE 4.2.2 and received straight away 4.3 update. So no problem here.

If system files are modified OTA won't flash, because OTA script first of all checks for md5 sum check, and if it is modified update flash will be canceled, however. In case of modified system files just delete in update script from OTA.zip first part of the code which check system files.
[One (M7) General] pigr8:
You think twrp can flash ota's? i dont think so but a switch to stock -> flash ota -> twrp can solve this.

In my case i have the full stock GPE rom, stock recovery and stock system only rooted/bb and with few changes to the partition (gps and host files).. i'm curious if upgrading to 4.4 will hang on those mod or shall pass.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
You can bet that 'if' the ota works it will wipe any mods you've made to the system.... KitKat will wipe the entire system then install new one due to the new base framework.
[One (M7) General] gnustomp:
No, it won't. OTA updates only extract new files, and patch existing ones (after all checks and cleanup). Which means, if you have mods, the update will probably fail to install.
[One (M7) General] alangrig:
Update won't fail if you modify code update script in OTA.zip. I did it several times on GNexus and Nexus 4. Even you can keep root after update. Usually in CWM you are being asked whether to keep root or not, but sometimes it might fail, cause new su binary are required.
[One (M7) General] mitchst2:
What problems did SuperSU and OTA Rootkeeper cause? What did you do to resolve?

I've SuperSU Pro using survival mode. Not got OTA RK though as it says it's non compatible with 4.3.

Should I unroot or will I just need to reroot after OTA anyway?
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
OTA updates do delete system files 'if' the framework/base has been updated. 4.4 isn't just an incremental like from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 where patch files would have been applied. 4.4 will most definitely be a substantial update and I'd put money on it removing the out of date framework related system files and replacing them entirely.
[One (M7) General] pigr8:
it's not the point, i dont really know if it will be incremental or just a full system dump that overwrites the whole /system partition (i think the first one really), i was wondering if the OTA applies or will fail on a complete untouched /system with only few *.conf tweaks.

i know it will fail if some app in system are moved/removed/modded or something in the framework is not corresponding on the checksum, not sure for every file like gps.conf or hosts.

i will restore a full RUU fresh and do a KK clean upgrade anyway, just curious.
[One (M7) General] gnustomp:
Well at least in the 4.4 OTAs for the Nexus devices, most of the complete files in the update zip were not in the filesystem beforehand.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I'm not sure, but Nexus OTA's don't bother with other stuff not in their way, but I know that HTC Sense and Samsung OTA's are really fussy about this. Not sure about Google Edition.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
When we do get the 4.4 OTA, will we also get the "priv-app" folder? What is that btw?
[One (M7) General] gnustomp:
They're system apps, but are "privileged". Probably more control/permissions or something.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
SELinux?
[One (M7) General] io53:
Not likely. Probably just something that makes it easier for them to keep important stuff apart from the rest. (Just guessing, I've not even seen the folder yet)
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
I saw it in the KitKat factory image for the Nexus 5
[One (M7) General] :
I think we'll get the 4.4 OTA by tonight. Kinda makes sense for Google not to release updates over the weekend. But because I live in europe, it will probably be tomorrow morning for me due to time zones.

If they don't release it today, i'm calling shennanigans. That'd just mean they're purposely holding the update back until the nexus 4 OTA's, and/or samsung finishes their 4.4 GPE update. At that speed we'll probably get a leaked 4.4 sense 5.5 rom a couple of days after the official 4.4 GPE release.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
What makes you think we'll get the update tonight? Just out of interest? I mean what if HTC has made a blunder somewhere and Google send it back to them saying can you please change/fix this.... Just because HTC has submitted the code to Google doesn't mean much IMO. It doesn't by any means scream finished to me.... Just saying :)
[One (M7) General] raikesy:
Fair play, an awful lot of speculation going on there isn't it? :)
[One (M7) General] :
Eh, llabtoofer tweeted that 4.4 GE was nearly finished a couple of days before they sent it to google (https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/399856782233063424), and I don't assume HTC leaves the QA to Google.

Google would probably test it on friday/saturday. But they would never release it close to the weekend, because if there's some huge problem everyone would have to come in to work on sunday and work overtime to fix it.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Yeah, all there is to do is speculate. Pretty stoked for 4.4 though, made my phone into a GPE just for that, until sense 5 and 4.4 release.

I have 4.4 on my Nexus 7 and it's gotten smoother in a lot of areas. Battery life is kinda hard to estimate as my N7 lasts about 4 days anyways, but I reckon it's gonna make a big difference on our HTC's.
[One (M7) General] xcesivemastub8ah:
What makes you people think Google tests it? Lol it doesn't work that way. It's the other way around. Google give HTC code. Htc optimizes it for their products and tests it. Then send it back and Google just pushes out the update. It's not their responsibility. The update could brick every HTC one that gets it and Google wouldnt care. Every oem is responsible for their own products. Google isn't everybody's/anybody's nanny. And I seriously doubt they'll allow anyone to be upgraded before their own nexus 4. The nexus devices are advertised as "first in line".
[One (M7) General] :
Eh, i'd think google would want to test it to make sure the OTA goes smoothly. It is HTC's device, but with google's name on it, so a disaster would be just as bad for Google. But yeah I assume HTC does all the functional testing and makes sure they deliver a working product, and Google just tests the OTA distribution.

I'm not sure as to what they'll do regarding the N4. I agree with you when you say nexuses should be first in line, but on the other hand, fast updates are a selling point for the GE's too. We'll see, but if they really hold out until the Nexus 4 OTA's, it'd be a ****ty move on their part, and they'd probably piss off HTC too.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
At this point, I'm just worried about Google's ability to distribute an update in a timely manner. Obviously 4.4 for the Nexus 4 has been ready since last Wednesday since the factory images were posted then, but Google still hasn't managed to start rolling out the OTA for it. We could be looking at getting our update at least two days after the Nexus 4 considering the Nexus 4 had a two day head start. More speculation of course.
[One (M7) General] :
Oh, I didn't realize the N4 images were posted. In that case, they'll probably start the Nexus 4 OTA first and then the Google edition. They might even wait for samsung to finish. Last time the S4 and the One got the GE updates simultaneously.
