Even though it does have nearly stock Android, the M8 is a different piece of hardware than the Nexus devices so there will need to be specific changes for the M8 so that it can function at the level that HTC, Google, and us as the consumers would find acceptable. Lollipop is a huge update and a lot of APIs have been changed so I'm sure there was/is quite a lot that needed to be done to make sure that it runs smoothly and correctly.

Also, from the updates that are being given it seems like most of that is already done and bugs are just being fixed so that they don't have to release a point update a few days later or have a bunch of angry users.

Part of the reason it's taking so long is that multiple parties have to approve it: HTC and Google.
[One (M8) General] sheko_elanteko:
Thanks, guys for clarifying things, I hope the wait ends this week.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
You gotta love Google Translate -D
[One (M8) General] Greasedferret:
Indeed, plenty of people moaning about the bugs on nexus devices, if Google and HTC rush this out they will just moan even more if the gpe or sense version has the same issues, all the people I know with nexus rolled back to kitkat.

I'd rather wait for a more stable version if that takes another few weeks so what.

I use my phone too much to be entertaining an OS that's not quite fit for purpose.
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
Interestingly, the Lollipop-based SkyDragon rom didn't have any glaring issues. I used it for a few days and returned back when volume control wasn't working when listening to music with the display turned off. I can see why people would be pissed off by the delays. The HTC One M8 is the latest to have come out in the Google Play edition lineup so I would assume updates would be rolling over to this device first.
[One (M8) General] derWolf_:
M8 is not the last one for the update. S4 GPE didn't received the update as well. I don't know why are people complaining so much. In reality it has been only about 2 weeks or so, since the update reached the nexus devices No one said that the GPE phones would get it instantly after the nexus line...
[One (M8) General] 2shellbonus:
Well the nexus 7 lte hasnt received OTA as well.
[One (M8) General] josean36:
as will update lollipop, lol, and I said that this is a liar, and another thing, the devices gpe are nexus devices must receive while the nexus updates, if it were not so, what would be the point gpe buy a device? in order that you continue waiting, a big hug.
[One (M8) General] Greasedferret:
I guess most of us are singing the same song here.

If Google rolled out a windows Me, it would be commercial suicide, especially if that continues to secondary gpe builds and even worse 3rd party builds like sense etc.

They are not going to push out a beta OS.
[One (M8) General] androidwissen:

Among google and htc have already become sloppy ?, this week is supposed to come!
[One (M8) General] lsv-1:
I understand that HTC wants to be as communicative / transparent as possible in regards to the update, and that's ok, but those tweets only create anger when the offered is not given. They should wait until the OTA is approved and completely ready for release to tell us and avoid mixed up feelings.
[One (M8) General] derWolf_:
But that would kill the whole point of the transparency they are trying to achieve.....
[One (M8) General] scifan:
Well, then...

Mo [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i

I sincerely apologize for the unexpected delay due to an unforeseen issue on GPE. We’re addressing with high priority, expect a fix quickly.

https://twitter.com/moversi/status/539931668786585600
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
And thus why devs don't like giving ETA's. They know if they don't deliver when they say they will due to something that needs fixing that comes up at the last second they'll get crap for it. Hope they can look past all the ungrateful people and keep giving us this level of transparency.
[One (M8) General] instigator008:
Google is pushing 5.0.1 to aosp. Could HTC be incorporating the update?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/12/02/android-5-0-1-lrx22c-hitting-aosp-now/
[One (M8) General] iTchill:
Its only for n7 WiFi and n9...
[One (M8) General] instigator008:
So far...
[One (M8) General] np231:
It is very possible. HTC most likely submitted 5.0 code to Google for TA and Google probably came back and said we are releasing 5.0.1.

HTC will probably release 5.0.1 straight out. If they are working on it this week then I expect them to submit near the end of this week. We can expect OTA after Google's TA sometime next week. :)
[One (M8) General] :
Cannot believe Samsung devices are getting the update before a GPE device.
[One (M8) General] djr83:
Why do you believe they are getting it before?
[One (M8) General] Petert87:
Because its rolling out in Poland.
[One (M8) General] huuhung1178:
Now we got reason to switch to Nexus 6 :D
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
And live with the crappy amoled panel that is used on the Nexus 6? No thanks.

It's gets pink on lower brightness and a screen burn within days.

I'd rather stick with the awesome display on my M8.
[One (M8) General] djr83:
M8 doesn't have an awesome display. It's more or less like the display on my Nexus 4. I would prefer amoled anyday, at least Samsung's. Motorola's amoled is maybe worse.

S5? If it's true then good for Samsung! The delay for M8 GPe is not better or worse just because another manufacturer releases their updates faster.

The GPe still has the advantage of vanilla Android and no bloat.

[One (M8) General] sheko_elanteko:
Even the Moto G 2013 is about to get the update :eek:
[One (M8) General] djr83:
But Motorola has stepped up their game lately and they don't change Android as much as Samsung and probably had the code long before any other manufacturer since they did the Nexus 6. So no surprise there.

I don't think the price of the model should affect the updates, so G should get as fast updates as X.
[One (M8) General] 2shellbonus:
Amoled panels are oversaturated and produce eye popping, but unrealsitic colors. Nexus 4 display is way worse than the near perfect m8 display (I have both phones).

And the display in a motorola phone that is amoled is manufactured by Samsung
[One (M8) General] mexikhan:
I thought this was a post about the OTA, :mad:

Please stop updating it with whining, it is not going to make the OTA faster and we are just getting to many false positives.

Please open a support ticket with Google and HTC maybe they can help you guys with the urge of the OTA.

** & shame on me for posting this since I am also contributing to the false positives **
[One (M8) General] lsv-1:
Dude you're like the 10th guy complaining about that, if you are tired of false positives, just remove the notifications of the forum and check the OP once in a while, this is NOT an OFFICIAL notification forum, this is a forum where everybody can share their thoughts about the upcoming update.

Adding to this, most of the amoled panels are pentile matrix instead of true RGB. Even at very high pixel densities, it bothers me.

[One (M8) General] BR7fan:
ive never installed stock ota manually. Can you point me in the right direction. Thanks
[One (M8) General] wildestpixel:
Partially from memory

copy the zip file to the use root of your phone

enable developer options

enable usb debugging

reboot to recovery (adb reboot recovery)

tap volume up and power to get from the android with a error mark to recovery

update from phone memory

navigate through virtual folder 0 to the zip file you copied to the phone

update

You will see a mounting error appear twice and the phone will reboot into recovery and hboot as it flashes the new firmware but everything will be fine
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
Can we install the OTA on a completely formatted system or does it look for build.prop and whatnot before install?
[One (M8) General] wildestpixel:
You need 4.4.4 GPE pure to apply the OTA, whether setup or in factory reset state doesn't matter.
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
I converted a while ago, running the leaked 5.0, that's why I was wondering if a full system wipe would be good enough. My CID and MID match those of GPe so I'm not worried.

I'm on Philz. How to install in stock recovery? Dont have s-off or Google cid.
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
Without Google CID and without Stock recovery you cannot install the OTA. You must be running stock GPE 4.4.4, have stock recovery, and Google CID.
[One (M8) General] VeryCoolAlan:

Did not rename it

"Device or resource busy"

"PlusOne.apk has unexpected blah blah"

[One (M8) General] TheManii:
You either modified or deleted G+, you need to restore it if you want to use the ota

[One (M8) General] eHmu:
Your system is not completely stock GPE 4.4.4. The OTA script implies that the PlusOne.apk on your system is modified. Maybe you have installed a mod?

Is it saying I have 4.4.2? I don't.. The attached screenshot confirms I have 4.4.4 and the correct build number.

What gives??

EDIT: I found someone else having a similar problem and the solution was to change the MID which I had not done. I did so using this, confirmed in fastboot that I have the GPE MID (and also GPE CID) and still get the same error.

Your old MID should not be the problem, but anyway I heard people said they lost some functionality having other MID than the 0P6B17000 (Google).

Anyway your problem looks weird. Maybe you should try to flash again the [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_4.4.4-2.12.1700.1.zip again and try to update manually if you didn't received the OTA.

[One (M8) General] kiedlywiedis:
I've been doing some research and I think the problem might be the recovery. I flashed TWRP so I could make a backup of my current setup should I want to go back to it, and then I reflashed a version of the stock recovery I found here. Apperently, whatever I flashed wasn't right and the right one is seemingly nowhere to be found.. See here. It's the only explanation I can figure.

How long might it be before a RUU is made for lollipop? I feel like if it's the case that I'll have to reflash the RUU entirely I might as well just wait for that to happen.. :-/

I had the same issues, but think I've solved it - the problem was using the recovery in the [Recovery] Google Play Edition Stock Recovery + Bootloader + Splash Screen thread, which is from April, and therefore not the correct version number for upgrade to 5.0.1. I extracted the recovery.img from the firmware.zip which is part of the 4.4.4 KTU84P from KTU84L update.zip in the first post in this thread. Flashed this from fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Rebooted to recovery, and the update has taken nicely. My sysytems is now running 5.0.1 happily! Enjoy!

I have no idea why it is not working. I have a converted AT&T HTC One M8 PhilZ recovery, rooted, Goog001 , S-Off and it is giving me an error when trying to install it from recovery.
[One (M8) General] mexikhan:
That is the one I had, but I downloaded the OTA file from this thread wend ahead and apply it from recovery.

THe issue is that Google just releases 1% of devices every batch, and it is kind of some sort of FiFo where your phone queries for the update if it gets it if good if not will have to wait for the next batch and so on and so on. Then I think after 24 hours to 48 then they will do big chunks like 25%, 50% and 100%.

So if you really want the OTA then just apply from recovery.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

if you have this PhilZ recovery Then you need to have a stock recovery and the last one that came with 4.4.4

Maybe it us just me, but after applying the OTA and everything is working is fine, but when I try to get again to the bootloader screen by powering up the phone and the up volume it seems I do not get to the screen, I can get to it via adb commands but not directly from the phone, unless with this update it has changes the way to get to the bootloader directly from the phone.

Ok I found the issue on my side to get to the bootloader, if I was plug into the computer then it didn't allowed me, now when I get to the recovery screen with the dead android, I try to do the up volume and power and then there I do not get the recovery options the phone just boots, maybe I am missing still something.
