[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
That has been true for every update in the past, but a lot of people on Nexus phones reported an error while installing the official OTA on rooted phones.

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

With GOOGL001 and 12000, I received the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 OTAs so I know it works and I can RUU to GPE and Sense with no problem. Now I changed it to 17000 just to be on the safe side but I think both will be fine.

If you are rooted, changing your MID is really simple.
[One (M8) General] avramo_1978:
So did you get any information that there is an OTA update for your GPE?

In mine nothing yet. It is a converted M8 to GPE with the change of CID to Google. I am not root.
[One (M8) General] MirageBlader:
Nope waiting for it too :)

I'll be happy to help. How do you pull the OTA file before flashing? Wouldn't it download and install in one step?
[One (M8) General] brittan:
Whocares0170. This is the guide I am going to use if I am one of the first to get the OTA. The Guide is for nexus devices , but it will work on any device that you can access via adb

[One (M8) General] Robcadams1974:
Thanks for sharing that! What is the codename for the M8 GPE?
[One (M8) General] brittan:
The device name referenced in the URL should be "gpedogfood_htc_m8_generic". I just took this from the two previous OTA URLs. I am assuming they will reference the device using the same name with this OTA.

And that's just HTC's target. Could continue to get pushed out.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Yep, it's a target and sometimes you miss the target. I don't know what's better though, not sharing a target or setting one and missing it... I think the latter, at least it shows they are working at it and not keeping people in the dark.

Update delayed again. Take a look at moversi's twittee account. Google requested a re–spin (i don't know what it means).
[One (M8) General] joro2077:
Its not happening tomorrow

from moversi twitter:

"It's been delayed, new SW spin required. Appreciate your patience. Will let you know once approval is received. Thanks."
[One (M8) General] jordandalley:
Gah!
[One (M8) General] iTchill:
FU%K!!

Yeah i said it ...for all of us

And can someone with knowledge explain to us what is a re-spin ??
[One (M8) General] Shanki2k8:
Respin means in the stage of 1st test cycle only the testing team will send back the software to development team for bug fix

Looked it up in some website.
[One (M8) General] msihp:
Am I the only one who favors to wait few days and get a bug-free release? Google requested a re-spin on HTC, they probably don't know how buggy is 5.0 on the Nexus 5.
[One (M8) General] josean36:
re-spin singnifica a liar man who tells you one thing and then do another, and I'm tired of so many lies, so you want one make gpe if this step will take just that sense, if you get to know me stay in sense, often liar.:rolleyes
[One (M8) General] huuhung1178:
That why i still love the nexus more than gpe devices...but before the nexus 6 all of them got the bad design and poor battery
[One (M8) General] msihp:
That kinda reminds me of old Nexus 4 Kitkat story & it's encryption issues.
[One (M8) General] nuts77:
Let's face it, the build is just not ready yet. Deploying an OTA has a cost, an update has a cost, so if a few more days are enough for them to fix everything, and save them an update loop in the weeks following the launch on our device, they will definitely delay it. And this is the right way to go.

So let's be patient, wait for the stable release, and - stop asking Mo for an reliable ETA he will have a hard time to give ;)
[One (M8) General] nags92:
I agree and the people who are complaining about the delay are probably the same people who would complain if it was buggy. You can't have your cake and eat it too ! Sky dragons rom is very decent, use that if you can't wait any longer.
[One (M8) General] jcbjoe:
Believe it or not I converted my m8 to gpe and the battery life sucks on skydragon have to charge ever 2 hours minimal usage just to let you know .. Good room btw
[One (M8) General] josean36:
people who complain is not what you say, is that if you say a date must comply and if you do not clear then just say you do not have time and already avisarás when, but I put two dates and no it was true and that is to be a liar, do not say no and so the fingers do not get it, greetings.

[One (M8) General] instigator008:
I think what you're saying is, is that if the GPE gets lollipop at the same time sense does, then you'd prefer sense.
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:

I'm not sure how many times it has to be stated but he's not talking about the GPE update in that tweet. He's talking about the M8 eye update.
[One (M8) General] djr83:
+1

If you actually read the thread it's not easy to misunderstand it. GPe will get it soon, my guess within a week or so, since Nexus 5 already got it. Before November 12th the delay was for Lollipop, now it's just a few tweaks left specifically for M8 GPe.

Remember that Nexus 4 got the update to 4.4 1-2 weeks after Nexus 5 was released, and that didn't have any bugs. Let it at least go 2 weeks after Nexus 5 got Lollipop before complaining, it's still following the previous releases more or less.

@moversi is gone

I feel like [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i was trying provide updates. They found bugs and couldn't deliver on the expected date, and people freaked out.

Now he is not even providing updates.

Some people really need to clam down and watch what you say to the guy who is providing updates on the whole process.

Now, we just have to suck it up and wait for the update to drop.

I am hoping that it would be tomorrow (Thursday), right before thanksgiving.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
He's right, we need to clam down, here, take one and down it.

On a serious note though, the way people gave him crap, if I was in his shoes and I had a confirmed date, I'd say f you guys and not post about it.
[One (M8) General] np231:
I agree and that's what [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i is doing now.

Although, many thanked him for the updates on twitter, it only takes one to ruin it for everyone.

Anyways, it seemed like it wasn't a major bug. They have to fix the SW-spin and resubmit to google. Once google approves, they can send out the OTA.

I wanna see Lollipop on HTC ONE so badly, let's hope [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i replies back on twitter.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I can't imagine it will be that long before the OTA comes out and I'm pretty sure we won't hear about a new target date from him, the next thing we will see is "M8 GPE Lollipop rolling out today" when he has confirmation.
[One (M8) General] djr83:
I think he's quite because what if he said another date and then it would be delayed again. He's not doing the same mistake twice.

The update will come when it comes. It wont get here faster with a date. But if it get's delay too much I will of course not buy another HTC device again since fast updates was the reason I chose HTC One GPe instead of going with the safe bet Nexus 5.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
You mean make the same mistake a 3rd time :)

[One (M8) General] np231:
No

If you flash the OTA then you won't lose anything.

But it is always recommended to perform a backup of important documents and pictures.

We are still waiting for the lollipop update on GPE. Let's hope that we get it soon.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Thanks.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
you will lose some camera functionality, everything Sense specific, the music player, so make sure you know what google edition is before you make the move, going back to Sense is not easy

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

Change the zip to OP6BIMG.zip , place it on root of your sd card and boot into hboot voila, back to stock sense with OTA ;)

edit: neither of you were from eu, so guess it wont work

No such thing for other hone models?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
For me it requires flashing a partition fix, then an RUU which I find simple but based on the fact that he didn't know the difference between GPE and Sense, I figured he might not be an expert at flashing.
[One (M8) General] psycho46:
True indeed, if you don't flash the partition you get stuck on a HTC logo or a bootloop.
[One (M8) General] kokinator02:
My friend, this place is for the authentic Google Play Edition terminals and it's OTA updates, or the already converted ones at best.

Perhaps you should check graffixnyc's thread where tons of info on that subject is at hand.

Please don't t think I'm being rude but, consider of most folks here's don't have a converted m8, they won't be able to help.

Cheers mate!
[One (M8) General] Human Guinea Pig:

[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Nope, Sense camera can't work on GPE, nor the music player.
[One (M8) General] rafael.trad:
I think i understand your question. And nope, you wouldnt be able to go back to sense after converting to GPE with the RUU just by making a nandroid backup of sense.

:/

I believe the reason is simply because that backup would only be for the system partition
[One (M8) General] Hybridnoob:
Nope, not if you want your phone to get past the splash screen. GPE changes the phone's partition sizes.

Guys, enough with the ROM discussions and what or how to flash on a non GPE. That's not what this thread is for. Please read the big, bold first paragraph in the OP.

This thread is for discussion of over-the-air updates for the One M8 GPE. All this inane chatter is getting people unnecessarily excited thinking there might be a link to an OTA.

Thanks!

You think the update for GPe takes too long so you switch back to Sense which will take 2 months longer. That makes sense (no pun intended).
[One (M8) General] np231:
Hopefully Monday

Moversi mentioned that if Google provides Technical Approval (TA), then he will have the OTA link with in few hours.

So let's hope Google provides that Technical Approval today.

[MENTION=4020276]ictech[/MENTION]Reviews If we get TA by EOD Monday, I'll have the SW OTA the same night (in a few hours of TA).

https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=@moversi&src=typd
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
True, but that still doesn't mean WE get the OTA at that time. What if once HTC has the OTA they still need a few days to get the push ready? What if Google says there is another software spin required?

The only thing people should get from those tweets is this : "We are making progress and hope to reach a milestone by end of day today".
[One (M8) General] np231:
If Google provides Technical Approval (TA) then there are no more changes after that. That's the whole point. If Google finds issues, then they won't give technical approval.

The deadline for approval is today (if no issues found). Mo said that if they get the approval then he will have the OTA with in few hours.

It is possible that there might be an issue. I'm just happy get a status update from Mo about the situation. I want a bug free update so don't mind waiting.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Read the tweet again and try not to see things that are not there.

The **target** for the TA is end of day today, the same way the target for the OTA was Monday last week, then Friday, then nothing happened. It's a target and they missed 2 already.

Secondly, Mo said **he** will have the OTA within a few hours, not that **we** would have the OTA.

Maybe once Mo has the OTA it will take HTC a few days to get it on the servers ready to push.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
Guys, take it easy! it's alright to get excited for the update, as long as we don't start complaining if we don't receive it. Let's just wait and hope to see the update soon.

[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Maybe you'd rather be kept in the dark as to when, of even if your phone would get GPE? None of what he says is under his control, it's not like he's rejected the code or didn't have time to do the TA. His team or Google provides him with target dates which he shares with us, and then they keep missing the target which makes him look bad.
[One (M8) General] sheko_elanteko:
In this case, It's not HTC fault, it's Google's fault for taking so long to provide the TA.

We can do nothing but wait.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Well, yes, but if HTC provided a better OTA the first time, it would not have been rejected. Can't blame Google if it has to do QA for other manufacturers first if they submitted the code before HTC.

In any case, it looks like the OTA will come shortly after the TA, and Google should give HTC the Go/Nogo today hopefully

[One (M8) General] sheko_elanteko:
I'm sorry if I'm going to sound like a noob (which I AM), but isn't the GPE phones have an almost stock Android OS like the Nexus phones, except maybe for the camera in the case of the M8? so my question is, why it's taking so long to release the OTA if the work is pretty much already done by Google?

As I said, I'm not an Android developer, but I'm just thinking out loud here, maybe someone can clarify things to me.

Cheers.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Camera, boom sound, double tap to wake, photo editor, there is more than meets the eye, but it should now take that long.

Worse part is that the nexus OTA passed QA with the battery drain bug but HTCs got rejected and it was less buggy.
