Maybe international version is equivalent to gpe. I actually don't get anything special about gpe, other than unlocking bootloader is as simple as nexus devices.

One person converted from att version just reported the same issue right above. This is the reason why I hate US branded phones so much now. Sounds so much like old Samsung Galaxy S2 variants, especially att's.
[One (M8) General] sweetdeath:
guys i wanna ask first before i use this OTA

i have a converted htc one m8, if i update it to 5.0.1 will my internal storage be limited because of the system partition ?

since i saw some converted user said that their internal memory is drained to just a couple MB left
[One (M8) General] seadersn:
it's not internal storage but system partition where no space is left. you'll gain 2gb over sense sd/data partition / internal storage, so not 10gb left for apps and sd but 12gb.

system will be filled with data, that's correct. i assume that's part of the new ota update technique.
[One (M8) General] sweetdeath:
hmm is so can you tell me how much there will be left in the internal exactly, i don't quite understand the gain 2gb part so i gain an extra 2gb for OTA or 2gb i need to delete those files there?
[One (M8) General] jmkhenka:
/system is read only when OS is booted and the space there is not acctualy a problem. The only changes there is with OTA's.

All other data is stored in /data and is whiped when you do factory reset. This partition is storage-system+cache=data. Around 11-12GB.

On sense the /system is bigger because of larger system files and thuss all other partitions (like /data) is smaller. So you get more usable space with GPE. No 3rd party software EVER gets installed on /system. Unless you got root with RW-system enabled kernel/boot.
[One (M8) General] sweetdeath:
i'm sorry i'm still new to these partition things, "So you get more usable space with GPE "so in other words i gain more internal storage by just updating the system?

Telus converted gpe m8. I'm loving lollipop but my lockscreen bugs out from time to time and I can really only reboot to fix. Anyone else get this?
[One (M8) General] xSharexWithxMe:
I'm on Telus converted GPE and no problems with lock screen or anything else on my phone.

I dont know what the cause could be. I have my MID and CID changed. MID is GOOGL001, CID is 17000, I've read in recent posts if you don't change MID to match GPE some functions won't run too smoothly. I could be wrong.
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:
Just to avoid confusion, I believe your CID is GOOGL001 and MID is 17000.
[One (M8) General] xSharexWithxMe:
Yes, sorry, haha, im pretty tired atm. Long day.
[One (M8) General] travisxcore:
No. The M8s have 32gb total of internal storage. Say a normal M8 running Sense uses 10gb for system partition (you can't touch this memory), that leaves you with around 24gb of internal storage for you yourself to use for apps and such. Then well say a GPE M8 (ROM doesn't count, were talking either stock, or converted) uses around 8gb for system, that leaves you with 26gb of internal storage.

The issue with the Lollipop update for GPE is these system partitions don't shrink or grow, they stay the same size but they fill up. The lollipop ota takes more memory in the system partition leaving less room for people to add in modifications such as root, busy box, syslevel apps, ect.

tl;dr - You don't update system, GPE and Sense have 2 different partition tables, whichever you run is what you get. Not that its a big deal either way.
[One (M8) General] sweetdeath:
thank you for the explanation i think i got it now sorry for the confusion though, i just finished converting my M8 it works fine wifi, mobile network, boomsound, everything works perfectly except when i install apps takes more time than usual

[One (M8) General] duke8253:
Just got my HTC One M8 GPE yesterday, didn't get any OTA push for Lollipop. Is there a waiting period to get it? Just asked the HTC support and they told me I'll have to wait for the carriers to push it to my phone, which in my opinion is nonsense (correct me if I'm wrong but from what I know GPE phones have their OTA pushed by Google).

Edit: I guess I was wrong about the pushing thing, the google guys told me that it is actually pushed through the carriers. And they told me a new device could take more than 2 weeks to wait for an OTA to be pushed. Think I'll just get my M8 to S-OFF and flash this thing manually.
[One (M8) General] jbetlyon:
Has anybody found a solution with this issue? I wouldn't say it is awful, but annoying yes. :) You have to wake the screen up to adjust (not unlock the screen).

[One (M8) General] foodxodation:
I converted my device into Gpe edition, but there's this cast screen on the quick settings panel, but when i press it, it doesnt work like it should? Any idea?
[One (M8) General] Acill:
I dont think the carrier has anything to do with the update on a GPE device. I am on ATT and they had no idea what this phone even was when I went to get a new sim for it. I know my update for the M7 GPE came directly from googles servers, I flashed the update to my real GPE M8 on the first day it was released because I didnt want to wait.
[One (M8) General] duke8253:
I thought that too, but both the HTC and Google customer support told me it's up to the carriers to push the OTA. And if Google is responsible for the push, they can just push it for me when I contacted them. BYW, I've returned my m8 and got a nexus 6.:p
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
It looks like you are using a recovery that wasn't from 4.4.4. Head over to the Google Play edition conversion thread in HTC One M8 Android development. There should be a website link that will allow you to download the 4.4.4 recovery.img. Flash the image and repeat the OTA process again.
[One (M8) General] Goldenears2015:
I wonder if we will receive the 5.0.2 update?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
You need a Chromecast to do that...
[One (M8) General] burger30:
i am having issue when i send a picture message it keeps sending and ends up sending multiple texts with the same picture
[One (M8) General] bit1:
Yea, it's odd because the button in quick settings seems to do nothing but when I go to the actual Chromecast app and select cast screen it works beautifully. It even fills a 1080p full screen when used in landscape mode. I'm not sure what that cast button in quick settings was supposed to have done but perhaps Google will be migrating it to the Chromecast app itself going forward or it's like Zoe and will eventually serve a purpose. I agree it'd be great if it just worked without having to go into the app.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

Ha! I've had a Dot View case and it works the same as with the screen unlocked so I hadn't noticed. I couldn't get it to completely stop working. Let it play about fifteen minutes but what would happen is you could not simply keep your finger on the VOL UP rocker and have it go to max volume and vice versa with the VOL DOWN rocker. You'd almost have to press them like a button and have to press it multiple times as it moved up one level per press.
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
I don't know either. Hopefully, HTC will still provide updates even if the device was removed for sale on the Google Play store.

Oh and by the way, I don't have an "Update from internal storage" option, only update from ADB. Do you know why this might be?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Cause the GPe doesn't allow flashing from internal storage, only sideload

Sense allows it, though

I did get that error, but it's because it kept connecting/disconnecting the phone so wouldn't work. Once I removed HTC Sync (but left the drivers) and updated my adb to 1.0.32 it all worked
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Just another reminder that the mega.co.nz link that's floating around is useless for the purposes of this thread. If anyone gets the OTA notification, please get the filename of the OTA ZIP file before you update. If you're rooted, you can find it in /cache. If you're not rooted, you can find it by taking a bug report in developer options, emailing it to yourself, then opening the text file attachment on that email and searching it for ".zip" (without the quotes).

Hi, I found nothing useful, sorry. The only "zip" refers to the actual update file stored in cache. Other than that, none.

Anyway, even though this is not the right place to do so: after updating, some lags appeared, so I decided to wipe and reset. Didn't do any good, little lags are still there, mostly when scrolling from one screen to another, checking some photos or simply scrolling down the settings and definitely when I'm checking inbox

Anyone else?

Hi, today the notification update appeared on my phone. But when I tried to update OTA there was an error message while it was updating, so the phone rebooted to its normal state with 5.0.1

Now everytime I try to update it says I have the latest version and I know I don't have it, I don't know how to install the latest update 5.1

Help please :(

You can't use any custom recovery to update with an ota file. Flash the stock recovery from 5.0.1 and update it from there.

A little confused

I'm relatively new with hTC devices and I need some clarification:

I have an hTC one m8 with unlocked bootloader, s-off, converted to GPE, TWRP and rooted running on Android 5.0.1.

As far as I know I won't be able to install OTA with these settings, is there any way that I can update to gpe 5.1 without having to relock the bootloader? one that won't require factory reset?

One last question, would updating affect s-off status?

Thanks for your help in advance.
[One (M8) General] Spectre007:
You can't update via OTA because of the root.

Updating doesn't affect the s-off status.

You don't have to lock/relock the bootloader because your phone is S-off.

The best way to update to 5.1. is to flash the RUU. But I'm afraid that you will lose your data. I'm not sure if you can do it without wiping. Maybe someone with more experience can tell you better.

edit: you can backup with titanium, flash the rooted 5.1. RUU and then restore.
[One (M8) General] SiK TL:
If you use the RUU method. You will loose all your internal data. Your sdcard will not get touched. An RUU is the easiest faster method in my opinion. It replaces everything. Hboot, firmware,recovery,ROM.

Hi.

Still no one with un-rooted, stock reovery converted M8 received the OTA? Should i be worried that i wont get it? or just have to wait?

When booting in recovery it says *Software Status offical*

When trying to apply OTA ->5,1 it get to the android Symbol with the red exclemation mark, but unable to boot in to recovery to apply update from storage. Thoughts?
