I have just downloaded the 6.0 OTA, but would like to save it before I upgrade. Before, the OTAs were always saved in the Download folder of the internal SD card. Somehow this time I can't find it. Do you guys know where it is located?

Or could someone post a download link for the Stock Recovery.zip file of the Taiwanese 6.0 OTA version?

That was quick. I have a noob question though. My main purpose of saving the OTA update file is to extract the stock recovery for future use. So are the stock recoveries of all the regions the same?
[One (M8) General] sunand777:
i think... Yes
[One (M8) General] tempurastyle:

[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
No .. they have different fingerprint, each version must have matched recovery or the intended OTA version

What you need is the stock recovery - 6.12.709.4, right ?

I'm not sure how many settings you have. If I had a fresh or 'very basic' setup, even I could do that.

But with 400 apps (9GB) and 200 odd username/passwords and +500 settings to change, I won't be risking such. I've listened to such advice before on the first OTA of M8 and got burned.

Since far too many of the settings are in the System apps and I can't remember any of them being restored properly.
[One (M8) General] oopstairs:
Is anyone able to flash this RUU? I tried the exe it's give me error 155, i extracted the rom.zip and flash via fastboot method it gives me error 32 header error or something I forgot, I copied to external sdcard and renamed to 0p6bimg.zip and reboot to hboot it only say "PARSING" and then reboot to bootloader. I check the md5 and it's matched with someone provided before. I don't know what to do next to flash this RUU lol.

I flashed the 5.0.1 ruu and it's fine. I'm S-OFF btw.

One more. Is anyone succeded to flash ota.zip provided in this thread (for developer edition)? My flash was never completed and it's end with bootloop. but no problem if I download and flash the OTA from updater.

thank for the responses.
[One (M8) General] mindmajick:
Lol. Of course you shouldn't use it for system settings. That should take you maybe 5-10 minutes manually even if you have a lot of accounts. The rest is easily restored. I personally don't care what you do but it shouldn't take an experienced user long to bring a phone back up to speed.

here is one confirmation that RUU worked - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64237070&postcount=453

32 header error - this usually happens when using google fastboot.exe, you need to use htc_fastboot.exe (the one in the same folder with the ROM.zip that you copied out)

renamed to 0p6bimg.zip - I read somewhere, for MM we can't renamed to 0p6bimg.zip but something else renamed to 0p6bdiag.zip or something like that, can't remember

[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP 2.8.7.0

In TWRP make a full nandroid backup of your current ROM (make a copy to your PC too)

Download the 4.16.401.10 non-rooted TWRP backup - available in my thread linked in my signature

Restore the the non-rooted 4.16.401.10 system partition only (or with boot) but leave the data .. you'll have a non-rooted stock ROM with your data intact.

Install stock recovery 4.16.401.10

Do the OTA routine

Your device now should be updated to 4.16.401.13 with all your data and settings still there.

In any worse case, just restore the full backup that you make earlier.

I guess that was our last update :) but I'm not surprised.I have one question...I read somewhere that devices with x64 processors will be hart to port rom from them to our M8 doesn't that mean even wont be port from sense 8 ? I mean all new phones now using x64 and if its impossible to port to devs i guess thats the end of this device from software part.
[One (M8) General] JrWriter87:
I've read the same thing somewhere so yea we probably won't see sense 8. But I'm no dev and this being XDA anything can happen
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
Isn't sense 8 just announced as sense 8/g (so a slimmed kind of edition)? Wouldn't be the proper thing for the M8 anyway, if you ask me.

But 6.0.1 I believe is a must, according to me. I'm glad it is listed as in evaluation, which gives me hope.
[One (M8) General] King_root:
Nope. No news of sense 8. Maybe what ur talking about is sense 7_g which is found in the a9 and also some ROMs on the m8 which is a slimmed and more stock version of sense.

:), no, this: https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/674154957935898624

This is just to help others in my situation.

I did as stated above with a very customized (myself) and settings/data heavy install. I didn't want to risk any loss.

I noticed that notification sounds doesn't play normally. It's like "cutted" at the beginning, so when I receive a notification, I hear only partial notification sound.

Did anyone, who converted to Dev Ed. and installed official RUU noticed this?
[One (M8) General] M_Shaaban:
Copying "rom.zip" 1.46 GB and "htc_fastboot.exe" 6.53 MB found at the same directory to "platform-tools" directory, launching a Command window, and using the following commands -while the phone in fastboot

fastboot oem rebootRUU

htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

That should flash the RUU manually on a relocked, S-ON, non-rooted, 100% stock device? On Windows 10. Would that be alright?
[One (M8) General] radkor:
Assuming, that you have correct MID, CID and actual firmware version on the phone is older or the same as the firmware in RUU that you want to flash. With S-ON you can't downgrade firmware or OS, nor flash firmware (OS) for another CID/MID.
