I obviously missed a step in converting to Dev Edition. When applying the OTA (that downloads officially) I'm getting a "Package expects build fingerprint of.." error. What did I miss? Did I flash the wrong recovery or something?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
The EXE RUU will set everything right including recovery, firmware, everything so I'd use that, not a ZIP or something.

[One (M8) General] Ather:
If i'm rooted with custom recovery, on a developer's edition, can i take the OTA or do i just flash the zip file from TWRP/CWM ?
[One (M8) General] scifan:
AFAIK, custom recovery + stock OTA generally doesn't work well... (I wouldn't try that)...
[One (M8) General] Ather:
yup i guess i'll flash from the recovery manually
[One (M8) General] huzz:
I am on stock. S-off. Stock recovery. CID-11111111

MID is EU. Tried to flash OTA it was aborted.

Changed MID to Developer tried to flash OTA it was aborted.

Any suggestions?

PS: Each time I had to change MID. First flashed twrp, flashed supersu, changed mid, restore nandroid of stock unrooted rom, flashed stock recovery and then tried flashing ota from stock recovery.

PSS: I checked the MID in fastboot both times it had changed fine.
[One (M8) General] Ather:
wont install from TWRP ;/ keeps rebooting on clicking install
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
change CID and MID to match developer edition CID and MID (SEARCH!)

download official ruu from here and just run then you'll get ota and it'll install smoothly

its what i just did

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 AM ----------

you need STOCK RECOVERY to flash OFFICIAL OTA else it'll NEVER happen
[One (M8) General] Ather:
Thats what i'm getting with Stock recovery, flashing the zip file manually from sdcard..
[One (M8) General] Ambious:
Yes, but unless you have S-OFF you will have to re-unlock the boot loader and flash custom recovery again.
[One (M8) General] ivicask:
You sure locking bootloader is required?It was usually only required for running RUUs
[One (M8) General] Ambious:
The bootloader is being overwritten with a newer HBOOT version, and the process is done via fastboot oem rebootRUU, so unless you have S-OFF, you will need to relock/unlock stuff.

[One (M8) General] haenraets:
So I get the OTA

But my phone is rooted, unlocked and S-OFF with TWRP.

How do I install this OTA?
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
I think you'll need stock recovery in order to do OTA :confused:

Unlocked bootloader, S-OFF and being rooted didn't prevent me from getting the OTA. Got it, installed it, all went well. Though it removed my root privileges. Will have to redo root after the OTA now.
[One (M8) General] My Beer Belly:
Not sure if I can even install this firmware, and if so then would it accomplish anything.

I've got a US T-Mobile M8, it's S-off and supercid on ARHD 6.1. That rom is based off the 1.54.401 software but I've got a pending software update based on the 1.57.531 software. Can I even install this firmware? If so then I know it updates my Hboot, recovery, and radios.

So will this break any radios on a US T-mobile device? I assume I would have to flash a custom recovery afterwards as well as the red text removal mod. Most likely would also have to flash ARHD again to restore root.

Someone please let me know if this understanding is correct. I don't want to go flashing firmware that will disable my device or serve no purpose to begin with.

[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
Somebody explained that this new update includes a new hboot version. Is there the risk that this patches the hole exploiyed by firewater and that it's not possible to get it anymore afterwards? I am still S-ON and would like to stay like this, but not if this means losing the ability to go S-OFF later.

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] Ambious:
It's too early to tell, but it has happened before (intentionally or not is up for debate). The safest course of action is either to S-OFF before updating or holding off on the update.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Where is the dev edition update
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Like Ambious said, if you want to S-OFF do it now then. I'm S-OFF before the update, did the update already and I'm still S-OFF no problems. Only had to redo root but that wasn't a problem so...

[One (M8) General] navid0308:
check your CID, MID, its usually either one of these that screws up the OTA flashing
[One (M8) General] Ather:
nope, the mid was correct, downloaded Ota from the phone and let it install, stuck at harmon/kardon mod, guess i'll re-run the RUU ;/
[One (M8) General] resol341:
Adaptive brightness?

Hi, I played around with the display options and noticed that brightness is still termed automatic brightness. But I do have a bit of control over the brightness (by dragging the bar) when automatic brightness is selected. Is this adaptive brightness or it has always been this way? I used to control brightness with tasker so this might sound a silly question.

I'm kinda dissapointed by Lollipop update for Sense M8. I mean, it looks great, but almost nothing has changed. Why did we have to wait for almost 3 months? For a different recent app switcher and notification bar? Xda developers will probably mod that in a few days.

Rebooted and wanted to check if it was rooted ( it wasn't). It said the SU binary needed to be updated.

After this I flashed an older version from TWRP and it didn't ask anything.

Now I got the latest TWRP version installed and it doesn't ask me anything when I leave it and I get the same message when I open SU app.

If y'all were hoping that your phone would magically be transformed into something really different with this update, you are going to be disappointed. There really aren't that many changes. At least HTC gave us the option to keep recent apps as a grid instead of that weird WebOS card thing they got going on. Wow, and I really started playing with it and there is something I have never seen on my M8, LAG.:(

Edit: After a reboot, it's not bad, but there is some when closing recent apps that wasn't there before.

CID/MID needs to be match to use the RUU.

Are you S-OFF? If so you should change the MID to 0P6B12000(AT&T/Developer Edition) and the CID to BS_US001/BS_US002 (Brightstar US, Developer/Unlocked Editions) afterwards you can run the RUU.
