Your friend has a Vodafone M8, not sure which carrier your one is running, though
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Thanks for your input. Mine is unlocked. This means that in this case the carrier as the advantage and not the other way around?!
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I've never heard of x.xx.118.x being an unlocked handset. I think you're confused with SIM unlocked and unbranded. Pretty sure your phone is carrier-branded but I don't know which

Is your handset an M8_UL like your friends?
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
How can I see that?

I can assure you this is not carrier branded, I bought it from Amazon.es (Spain) and it came from an Italian store.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Maybe x.xx.118.x is T-Mobile from somewhere? I know x.xx.111.x is Germany and x.xx.112.x is T-Mobile Austria?

According to that site it might be a T-Mobile Poland and his friend has the Vodafone UK
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
The phone did come with polish language pre-selected... But if it's carrier locked how can I be using a Portuguese Vodafone SIM then?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I was thinking this but didn't wanna mention a carrier in case I got it wrong! :)
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Thanks for your help guys. Just tell me one last thing: is that extreme battery saving mode even worth it? I mean, have you tried it? I tried the normal saving mode when I only had 10 per cent battery life and it seemed to unload the battery at a normal speed and the phone got a little hot....
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Was it a brand new device or 2nd hand? Maybe someone already unlocked it and hid the flags?

If it's brand new then I don't know, maybe it wasn't really locked to just a specific carrier sim. Like here in SA I got my one SGS3 from Vodafone here but I coul still swap out between my MTN and Cell C sims and use it fully even though the phone was Vodafone branded(Boot up splash screen and all + their bloatware) :eek:

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Oh yeah most definitely.

Yesterday I watched videos on the device until I had 1% left, left my charger at home so I had to put it into extreme saving mode, my device managed to hold on until I got back home, which was 5 hours later. :good:

Suppose it depends what you use it for, I just sent a couple of messages but nothing major as it actually disables most things except for messages, calls(For emergencies perhaps) mail app and calender.

But that 1% can last a long time :D
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
You can't do that on OTA.zip, only for RUU.zip and firmware.zip
[One (M8) General] lufeig:
sorry for not being 100% clear.

from the OTA link that was provided, you can unzip the file and extract firmware.zip

rename it to 0p6bimg.zip, put on external sd card, boot holding power+volume down

---------- Post added 6th November 2015 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 5th November 2015 at 11:57 PM ----------

other way to force the OTA is

go to settings

apps => all apps

google service framework => force stop => clear data and cache

back to settings => about phone => system updates => check now

i myself had to do it 4 or 5 times before succeeding. i live in sao paulo, brazil, and my m8 is updated now
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
Extracting now. Thanks :)
[One (M8) General] Pobz000:
What do you do once you're in the fastboot mode? I'm not sure how to actually install the update.
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
This will get the firmware updated but not the OTA.

To manually install the OTA.zip, you need to adb sideload it in stock recovery.

I'm stuck in the boot logo now and can't get it to shut off
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Power button + volume up, when the screen goes black switch to volume down ! Gets you back in the BL.

Basics......
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
I got that figured out a few minutes ago (never had this phone stuck in the boot logo before). Now I can't do anything but reinstall the 0p6bimg again or try to reboot. I'm supposed to be sleeping now but afraid i bricked my only phone I need tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Brick is not the word, as long as ik gets in the BL and recovery you ain't bricked . When the phone is truly dead it's bricked

;)
[One (M8) General] markb63:
I'm hoping all the noobs realise this is a GPE update and not sense !!
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
I'm on gpe yes....I actually converted it using the 0p6bimg method and changing the cid. So its on stock gpe but its s off and bootloader unlocked. Does that make a difference?
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Maybe this helps

[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
That is where I downloaded the OTA from.

The phone was rooted but I fully unrooted with supersu before trying to install this OTA. The only thing root was used for was greenify. I don't remember doing anything to change system files, etc.
[One (M8) General] WarCow:
I had the same problem. Apparently I've been using an old version of adb. Downloaded this one and sideloading worked perfectly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
On sense roms you can't update with a unrooted rom. You need a NEVER rooted rom and stock recovery.

Think it's the same for GPE !
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
I was told the ota would work if I just unrooted and I thought this method would work the same. Any suggestions how I can start fresh now? I can't figure out how to access the phone from my pc.
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
Copy the full ruu and let it run from the bootloader via the external SD card ?
[One (M8) General] mrew42:
Not being a noob, but off site for some time it's taken just a wee while to work that out o_O
[One (M8) General] Roarmaster:
Massive Edit: Okay, i just realized our problems are a bit different... so I flashed supersu-BETA-2.5.2 to root the m8 marshmallow and I ran into all sorts of problems (adb was broken, but fastboot was working, no roms were working). I would suggest avoiding it for now.

This was how I got out of my situation. It also doubles as a way to install Android M from a CLEAN stock gpe ruu if you want the squeakiness

Note: if you have not backed up your contacts, sms, apps, etc. The following will delete everything on the internal SD.

1. I Disconnected the ext sd card and left it on my desk (I had a problem deleting my 0p6bimg.zip file).

2. Rebooted back into bootloader using vol up + power then quickly pressed vol down after phone restarted.

3. Found a fully stock GPE ruu (used the stock one from: http://www.graffixnyc.com/m8.php) and flashed it through fastboot oem mode. If it doesn't work, try supercid.

4. I then made sure that I changed my cid to one of the GPE versions. I chose to use 'GOOGL001'.

5. From here, I booted up the phone normally, reconnected my ext sd, set up my wifi, and went to settings > about phone > system updates, to receive the official android M OTA.

6. Now im playing with my new official android M GPE rom

7. Hoping root comes soon so I can restore my titanium backup files :)
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
I completely forgot about the external sd card after using a nexus for so long. I will try that now. Thanks
[One (M8) General] toysoldierq:
Just converted my one m8 to gpe using 5.0.1 ruu, and i was greeted with 620.00mb update, i could not bypass it hopes is 6.0
[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
I ran RUU converting to GPE android 6.0 everything went well. But after this it stays at the boot animator for about 30 minutes and nothing loads.

My phone is S-OFF and supercid. I did RUU by 0p6bimg file.

Anyone knows what should i do?

So are the HTC motion guestures working for anyone on Marshmallow? None of them work are working for me, although I am running rooted with the modified boot image so maybe thats it.

[One (M8) General] FearlessPixel:
So I was looking at HTC's rom downloads and the link for att says Sense 7 in it, anyone know from the numbers which version of android it is? I'm downloading it now but it'll take 30 min. I'm also confused as to why the m8 version says HIMA in it. Did HTC just link the wrong version? It's different than the m9 link.

[One (M8) General] nhoc_maruko9x:
You're downloading rom for wrong device :D M8 doesn't have Lollipop 5.1 and also sense 7 (not yet). Check again, it says sense60.
[One (M8) General] FearlessPixel:
I promise you I'm looking at the link they have listed for the M8, are you on the US site?

Edit: I clicked the view link and the download link there points to the sense 6 RUU, but the download link on the main page definitely is sense 7. I cleared my cache and refreshed 6 times to make sure I wasn't crazy.
[One (M8) General] Ben Abel:
This will clear all user data, correct? Isn't there a command line flag you can use to keep all user data?
[One (M8) General] Vazduh:

[One (M8) General] ckpv5:

[One (M8) General] FearlessPixel:

[One (M8) General] Vigz:
No. It will keep all user data by default with ADB sideload.
[One (M8) General] forever_lol:
So far..i am very glad. Marshmallow feels noticeably snappier and smoother than Lollipop. Lollipop lagged here and there. (My m8 gpe never performed as smooth as my old nexus devices running stock. With M onboard I can hardly notice any difference. )
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
I'm stuck at work now with a nexus 4 that won't read a sim card, but my phone failed to boot after updating with 0p6bimg. I removed the sd card but it won't mount in my computer to put an ruu on it. Without the sd card in I can at least access fast boot again but all the instructions I find are for running .exe ruu and all the downloads I found are zips where I have to flash the. IMG files. I have done this stuff before but not every day. With my nexus there was a clear guide on flashing the ruu but I can't find that for the m8. I'm on McDonald's WiFi right now in the work truck trying to do some quick research to get it back going tonight. Sorry if I'm missing something real obvious but I'm under pressure to get my phone working again. Thanks for any help.
[One (M8) General] Kruk07:

Hi 350Rocket,

So here's a guide to RUU to stock GPE (follow method 2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I followed method 2 but it fails to install even after a second try. My cid is google001 or whatever it was supposed to be.

Have you tried to use supercid? Right before following method 2, change your cid to '1111111' just to flash the ruu, then switch back to google001 after doing the ruu

Me too. So far so good. Also deep sleep much better than ob lollipop do far.
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
Kernel or Android OS still have high app usage?
[One (M8) General] Roarmaster:
If you receive an OTA without switching back, then I guess you don't need to switch back. I actually haven't tried it with supercid, I just wanted to use the stock Google cid just to make sure it works :)
[One (M8) General] 350Rocket:
Everything so far is working great for me on mm, other than the audio quality on my headphones didn't sound good at all, but I only tried a few songs all from one album. It's pretty well known that non sense roms don't have as good sound quality or camera. I may end up switching just for the music quality but other than that I prefer gpe.
[One (M8) General] gilnfld:
Hello folks/OP,

Would it be an egregious affront / disrespect to this thread of we started a new thread; specifically for the Marshmallow release ?!? I realize that the thread here aims to keep all OS commentary in one spot, BUT, seeing this is such a monumental release/upgrade I think it would be wise to have a separate 'finding/observations' discussion thread where we can all compare Marshmallow notes, so-to-speak. I have been around here for many years but due to work I don't always have time to follow up on all the regulations, rules, etc, SO, if what I am suggesting is not in the spirit of things, I will retract my request ;). If not I will be happy to start one.

As for my observations on the M update. I got the OTA and did a full wipe to start clean. In general I like it, the OS is quite smooth but it does not feel 100% stable. Certain things randomly break and there are periodic lags and high cpu/ram usage which gulp up a lot of power, countering the awesome battery saving on idle. The motion gestures do not behave consistently (double tap/slide) and occasionally are completely non-responsive until a full reboot. Speaking of battery; when the machine does enter full sleep or doze mode, the battery consumption is indeed quite impressive but, as stated above, I get the feeling that during regular use for browsing, messaging, multimedia etc the OS is draining the battery faster than Lollipop - - but it is of course to early to make any pronounced statements. I need a couple of more cycles and heavy-usage days to be able to tell more definitively. Another thing I notice - - and this might be by design - - doze does not seem to fully kick-in if certain apps which use Google Play Services are are still in windowed mode in background. For example if I have a chrome page open but do not close the app completely, it seems to me (reading GSAM) that it wont go into sleep even if on table for a few hours.
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
I know 1 thing...... We have discussion threads enough also regarding marshmallow. Absolutely no need for another one ....... dear lord !

And its not a monumental update/release, its "just" another update. Not sure what the fuzz is about honestly

And i don't think 5.1 will be discussed here that much so its actually already android 6 focussed

It was asked many times probably, but currently can't find any answer to it, and for the upcoming ota this will be handy

So to receive the sense ota update I need to be back to stock rom(twrp backup will do, right?) and stock recovery? (.img I can find in the stickied thread with collection of everything)
[One (M8) General] brandon2309:
Yeah, that should do the trick. Also you could just flash the stock recovery and do the SD Card 0P6BIMG.zip trick in order to reflash back to stock, this could potentially reduce the possibility of problems arising

Another tweet from LlabTooFeR:

https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/668698380370124800

What I am taking from this tweet is that HTC is actually working on Android 6 with Sense for the M8.

Also, I'm rather staggered that _THE_ informer about HTC developments expresses his disappointment on Twitter. I don't think I have seen that from him before.
[One (M8) General] atrako1973:
