You are right, but we still paid good money for our phones. Also, as out Mod said, it's just a cinch to adapt the SW on the One Mini to our SV, HTC wouldn't waste too much money on the update. They just don't care enough.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
It seems Desire 500 will get no OS update, because of less popularity. (If we believe what football says).

We've got two.
[HTC One SV] TVTV:
And yet Google complains about fragmentation...
[HTC One SV] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
I guess it's pretty obvious that this phone isn't getting a kitkat update

Hope some awesome devs could come up with a KitKat build of some sort :o3

WOW, everyone abandoned the topic i see.
[HTC One SV] TVTV:
Any news, guys?
[HTC One SV] zocster:
I somehow don't think it will ever come here...
[HTC One SV] :
Most likely not but im not worried about it anyways, because I tend to change my phone up so much anyways that it doesn't even look like the original anymore so I'm content.
[HTC One SV] ZeussPL:
Isn't KitKat too big for our One SV? If get the update, we won't have too many space for apps :/

[HTC One SV] rezoundness:
On the old cricket cdma I had only 900 megs available right out the box new.
[HTC One SV] Ivory_75:
I don't remember how much memory is available for Apps on the K2_UL but it's very few.

I think that's why update cannot be proposed : it requires to change partition size.

I thought the 8Gb would be :

Boot / firmware : few Mb

Recovery : 1Gb

System : 2Gb

User available - Apps + Pictures/videos + Music + docs et everything else : between 4 and 5 Gb

I moved as much apps a is could, but still I cannot update Chrome without uninstalling other apps i cannot move.

So, yes, it has 4G and NFC, but i would not recommend an HTC anymore.
[HTC One SV] rezoundness:
I had the 4gb one on old cricket
[HTC One SV] ZeussPL:
Actually, with Link2SD i've got no more than 200 mb of free memory for apps.
[HTC One SV] :
It's possible to resize your partition and merge with others.

However, doing that would place your device outside of the rest of us since now the compatibility is completely different lol.

I have tinkered around with this on my device here and there out of boredom.
[HTC One SV] Ivory_75:
Yes, but your phone is rooted.... i will get there once my warranty is over.

Since it's a partition size problem, maybe HTC could propose a full image to push from a computer ? (full format, complete new rom)

I would fully wipe the phone, allow resizing partition. And with minimal investment*, HTC would get a good return in term of branding and social network backgroud.

An alternative is to release a leak with KitKat. That way, they would not need google validation, and since it's unofficial, no problem with warranty.

Another solution would be to give enough data to develop a Cyanogen version for the SV.

*based on the info that it's easy to adapt from another HTC phone with similar specs...
[HTC One SV] :
You do realize that even if you have warranty that by rooting your phone you technically are not voiding warranty since you can easily restore your device back to it's prior state....
[HTC One SV] Ivory_75:
I'm not sure if you're right.

To root, you need S-Off from HTC Dev. and it voids warranty.

I don't want to add a new "Phone bricked" post in the forum, even if it's easy. :D

I've paid way too much in this phone. In march 2013, it was one of the cheapest phone with both 4G and NFC.

So i hope i will still have it working over the next 3 years (from march 2013 to march 2016). My warranty is 2 years, so no modification yet.

Stock, S-On, no root.

If i can sell it back in 6 monthes, i'll switch to a low cost, but definitely not an HTC !
[HTC One SV] :
HTC warns that warranty will be voided and the device even goes as far as placing a watermark on the bootloader, but as I stated before, it can be dealt with appropriately, showing no signs of traces, and it's way easier than you may think it is lol.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Like it was with 4.2.2 for One S!?!

Let football release a leak, for those who have a phone with working drivers, lol.

But you need htc developers to work for such build and i think the SV is not sold in such league with One S.

And don't forget the preassure they made in publicity. One SV is far away from that.

[HTC One SV] thearif:
Has it been two years since One SV was released? Or HTC One SV is not the part of the HTC One Family? How many One family are there? Gooood... these guys are simply joking with us :p
[HTC One SV] :
I'm pretty sure this device has expired, but I could be wrong. 4.2.2 will be the last this phone sees unless a custom Rom from source is built successfully with minor bugs making it possible for daily use. Otherwise, this is it. Lol.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
This statement is also only for the One devices which are part of the "Advantage-Program"

And this are not the older One devices like One V/S/SV/X/X+/...
[HTC One SV] ZeussPL:
I think, i paid more than this phone deserves for it.

[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:

Yes.. It would be very nice if someone would do a boost mod for cyanogen.. Personally speaking, I'd love to see KK for this phone, but HTC is notorious for the lies and being a hold out harry. I'll never have another device from them once I can finally afford another.. Going Galaxy all the way. It's been a good phone, but HTC caters to themselves, not the users.

[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
So... for now we have absolutely no clue, if we will receive the 4.4.2 update or not. Well... let's wait. ^^ However, what's the big change of 4.4, that we don't have in 4.2? ART is not available for HTC users...
[HTC One SV] :
That Twitter post was back when the HTC website actually showed us getting KitKat. As of yesterday, we were removed from the list and bumped down to 4.2.2 at 'integration'.
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
FWIW, the cached page: http://t.co/EKqLazK0Tp
[HTC One SV] :
Yea, Feb 5, thanks for sharing this.
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
So I tweeted HTC about this. So far, only Boost has replied (with instructions on how to check for a software update)

Anyone wanting to follow: http://bit.ly/1ixc2J4
[HTC One SV] tyju90:
I don't understand why the status for the software update was changed, I found out this morning from someone on facebook. But hopefully this is a mistake made by the people who maintain the website and we are still on for 4.4. Also, if they truly are on integration for Android 4.2.2, then maybe it will be temporary as they work on 4.4 to be released later on, a software update so complex and big for a mid range phone like ours, because it makes no sense confirming something and all of the sudden changing your mind and going back on your word. Either way, I'm confident we'll get some kind of update within the next few weeks.
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
So, update on this: HTC has yet to reply to my tweet, while Boost only wants to give instructions on how to update...

I'm seriously hoping that this change is only temporary while they move the update further along...
[HTC One SV] :
I can't stand that 'beat around the bush' replies. Either say we aren't getting it, we are getting it, or you don't know.... How hard is that? Lol

Giving instructions on how to update? Seriously? We aren't the average users using these phones hahaha. (maybe you should clarify that with them lol)

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

I've made a post on their facebook page, HTC USA. Hopefully they will reply back?
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
Perhaps you'll have better luck...

EDIT: Looks like they've replied
[HTC One SV] :
Annnnnnd, here is the reply I got back.....
[HTC One SV] :
At this point, I'll just assume it will be 4.2.2. If 4.4, then awesome, but the back and forth of uncertainty is utterly ridiculous lol.
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
Ironically, I'm working on building CM 11. Whether it boots or not is of course an entirely different story...
[HTC One SV] Kohltont22:
Just sent Boost a tweet. Waiting on a reply
[HTC One SV] prodigy2m:
Update !!! 4.4 is coming

HTC one sv lovers Android 4.4 is coming, reconfirmed mistake by HTC. I decided to write a mean tweet to HTC and Boost just now and got a very quick response. See it for yourself.

We are in business! :good:
[HTC One SV] TyDunn:
It was a website error

Its true guys, I just received word from HTC USA on Facebook and they said it was an error. The HTC One SV for Boost Mobile will indeed be receiving the new Android Kitkat 4.4 update sometime next April :).
[HTC One SV] :
Awesome! Game on then :)

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

Funny how they didn't give me that same reply lol. Guess the responder at that moment was new? :P
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
Well, they never replied to my tweet either...
[HTC One SV] :
Smh lol, maybe they were out of the loop also haha
[HTC One SV] :
Should let them know it was originally posted on the HTC updates website and that HTC has apparently confirmed that we are to get 4.4. Also, you tagged them as BoostCare. Its boostmobile lol. Thanks for sharing this.
[HTC One SV] Kohltont22:
I'm new to twitter so wansnt sure what boost mobiles account was. But I will let them know
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
Fwiw I tagged boostmobile and boostcare responded...
[HTC One SV] :
Well guys, given all the confusion here is something else to confuse you all even more.....
[HTC One SV] rickberg:
I am trying to get clarity on where the screw up was but every one is being hush hush about it right now
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
This makes no sense at all. He was the one who originally stated we were getting 4.4...
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
They made a mistake and noticed it too late (when they were seeing many people runnig around headless and screaming, lol).

There will be no Kitkat for the One SV, it was only screwed up numbers.
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
I'd believe that, except that the page showed the Boost One SV as getting 4.2.2 before the change...

Or I thought it did anyway...

EDIT: http://bit.ly/1jkGolP
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Didn't [MENTION=4973732]simonsimons34[/MENTION] say, he knows somebody inside boost (who can clarify whats really going on)?
[HTC One SV] :
According to his words over at AF, his inside sources say that only Boost is getting 4.4.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I know, but this would not fit to "HTC's mistake/error" comments.

If the guys at HTC screwed up the numbers (4.2.2 <-> 4.4.2), how can an insider at boost say, there will be 4.4.2 out only for boost?

And it makes no sense for HTC to only update boost, because the main work is done and it should be not to difficult to make the rest of the One SV world happy.
[HTC One SV] :
I agree, but even if HTC makes it for a provider like boost, it does not necessarily mean boost will get it. Because ultimately that decision will rely on boost. They would need to be in communication with one another in that regard. But I agree, this mistake, assuming it is a mistake which ever way, is pretty big, and not something that can easily be dismissed. But I strongly think that we are only getting 4.2.2 and somehow there was a typo along the way. What really disturbs me is the mere fact that HTC is now saying it is in 'integration' for Boost Mobile, but a few weeks back they had already confirmed that they handed it over to Boost Mobile? Crazy stuff man lol.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Indeed! And no matter what comes out at the end, it will not look nice, how it came.
[HTC One SV] :
This is exactly why I have taken up the practice of 'porting'. Because at some point, failure lurks around the corner, and by porting, in my opinion, is a means of getting around that lol. Just got to keep at it, and become better at what I do so I can start providing support here on XDA. Until then, I would rather not release my stuff at this time seeing how it is difficult to get proper support from others, where as instead, just problems on top of problems, but without any solutions, or a point of direction for that matter lol. But I do plan to start opening up some threads when I feel the time has come. Until then, its a matter of guiding people on here as I have been doing lately. :)

I am curious though as to why or even how HTC screwed this one up lol. I doubt we will ever know though.
[HTC One SV] Kohltont22:
I'm confused. So who is to blame here? HTC or Boost? I'm assuming both lol
[HTC One SV] J.ali.li:
Me too. It's getting more confusing by the time and my doubt is increasing about of existence of any kitkat for us.

I gave up hope on Boost getting 4.2 a long time ago but this changed my mind but now... Idk lol it's more confusing then Game Of Thrones
[HTC One SV] TyDunn:
im confused and upset

I give up. I want to get a new phone. Its not good for there to be constant errors within this business. They have had so many people believing that they would receive the 4.4 update. But some at HTC USA are saying now that 4.2.2 is what is actually coming to us. Somebody needs to reach those that are high in the company and ask them. Or this will drive away customers. Me being one
[HTC One SV] :
I don't blame you. Would you be happening to give away a free phone by any chance lol ;)
[HTC One SV] tyju90:
Yo, WTF is going on with our update? Are we getting 4.4 or 4.2? HTC is on some bs right now :mad:
[HTC One SV] :
It seems HTC made a mistake and its going to be 4.2.2. OTA is expected in march....

Truthfully, it may change again IMHO haha.
[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
But then they said about 4.4 in April. April is after March, right? So maybe there's a slightly chance (even it seems weird - one month and a change in version number).
[HTC One SV] :
Moversi, over on Twitter, had stated that they made an error and it would be 4.2.2 with Sense 5.

I think the confusion came with the other employers do to a simple typo which may explain why now they are all being quiet on this matter as I can only assume they are trying to reprimand this problem lol.
[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
Okay, but also HTC USA stated in both places (Facebook and Twitter) they WILL make an update to 4.4 in April. They also stated they made a mistake there on website. And Boost Mobile will be getting the 4.2 in March - month earlier. So...? Maybe both sides are right.
[HTC One SV] :
Well. :/ I give up on Sense 5.5, I hope CM arrives on this phone; CM11 is butter on the Cricket S3.

Sent from my SCH-R530C
[HTC One SV] :
I doubt it, since Moversi over on Twitter happens to be the Management Director Executive (or something fancy like that lol). As for HTC USA, etc... They are merely employees to help as much as they are capable of doing so. No different then calling them over the phone really. Their insight can sometimes be misleading if those above them pass along misleading information. Think of them as the middle people. The bridge way between us and HTC lol.
[HTC One SV] :
We're the fancy class way above regular people...we're known as the developers ;)

Sent from my SCH-R530C
[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
Ah okay then. However they have no reason to not update our lovely devices because:

1. One SV haven't reached EOL

2. Snapdragon S4 is still in support by Qualcomm (or something changed?)

3. Our device seems capable for running newest Android and Sense available.

So HTC would be an ass IMHO to stick us with Android 4.2.2, while rest of devices would get an update before our One SV would reach EOL. I know their company are in finance trouble, but still when they're releasing new models, they shouldn't leave older models which still has a chipset support and still are in 18 months life time.

[HTC One SV] :
I agree, and yes, HTC is indeed in a struggle. Mainly due to them not being able to satisfy their customers promptly with the latest and greatest software if considering the device is capable of such an upgrade. Though, I will give HTC one thing. They work with their customers rather well when it comes to opening up the doorway for development then compared to others where those users normally have to jump through hoops to reach their goals only to recieve another update which tends to crush them (hence, why there are soooo many of these guides on XDA lol). Now, HTC can sometimes be slow at providing their sources and what not but the availability is still there nevertheless. So in a sense, it comes down to pros and cons. One would need to weigh them both on not only just this device but across a variety of them as to properly determine what they think may be best according to their own taste. :)

Keep them coming. I rather enjoy all the confusion in this discussion on 4.4. Makes me feel like I should sign up for the circus with all the craziness haha. Thanks for the share bro.
[HTC One SV] Kohltont22:
No prob lol just wondering why Boost doesn't just step in
[HTC One SV] :
Well, lets just play along and agree that we are in fact getting 4.4 in regards to the K2_CL variant as displayed in your picture lol... What's the probability for K2_PLC_CL (Cricket) and K2_UL/K2_U (International/EU)?

Drum rolls..... Lol
[HTC One SV] Kohltont22:

[HTC One SV] :
Some candy for you guys :). The other day HTC replied back to me on facebook with not so promising words regarding 4.4. Well, it seems, they have finally corrected themselves, and even went as far as recontacting me to insure I was aware of the correct information. See attached pictured :). On another note, it appears that they only refer 4.4 with Boost. Can anyone else see what they may say about the others?
[HTC One SV] russellvone:

[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
The german guys at htc don't communicate about what phone gets updates.

I'm sure, they don't really know about the most phones whats the fact, so they better say nothing.
[HTC One SV] :
Well, worst case, you guys don't get it, BUT, I don't doubt for one second that everyone will come together to porting it and bringing it to you guys. Best believe, I will be apart of that team if it comes down to it :D

This is indeed very good news. I sure hope it happens. It is very sad to see devices less capable than the One SV ship with kit Kat while we are stuck with jelly bean. However this makes me wonder how one x owners would feel about this. I guess they should get a kit kat update as well.
[HTC One SV] Bazdir:
But sadly One X is older smartphone than ours. Hasn't it reached 18 months support not very long time ago...? But then - hey. They have much larger community with much more devs that are also porting newer versions of Android including CyanogenMod. :p Not blaiming of course our devs - not in any word!

[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
He is at winter games, so there will be no news for some days at all.
[HTC One SV] TVTV:
I've read Mr. Versi's Twitter posts and it seems to me he's saying that all SV variants will get 4.4 (LTE/non-LTE, branded/unbranded). And since they can't only release an update for a worldwide available phone model on one continent only, we will most certainly see an official update in Europe soon after the US gets it (or maybe at the same time - for unbranded phones).

Let's not get our hopes up, though. It's been known to happen before: some high-ranking guy at HTC says they'll update a certain phone model, then he eats his words quoting "technical difficulties" as reason for dropping the update (as was the case with the HTC Desire [Bravo]).

Anyways, if HTC brings 4.4 to the SV, meaning that they came around and understood that 18 months of software updates means 18 frackin' months of software updates - NOT SECURITY PATCHES, i swear my next phone will be an HTC, too. :)

LATER EDIT:

Yeah, reading Mo Versi's Twitter, it seems that the Boost SV will only be getting 4.2.2 and Sense 5 after all. So... again, don't get your hopes up. It seems it was only a mistake after all, mistake which has propagated to all HTC US online divisions (FB, Twitter and whatnot).
[HTC One SV] palmtree5:
HTC has since said via Twitter that we are getting 4.4. The tweet you linked to is from 3 days ago and has been previously mentioned in this thread...
