@ Karavasileiadis,

I've just updated my phone manually (CID: HTC_E11)

You need to be on stock rom and stock recovery (s-off and bootloader unlocked is no problem).

Download the ota you need from the post of old.splatterhand http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54859079&postcount=1335 (thanks old.splatterhand for the files) !

As I was on 1.54.401.10, I took the last one, donwload it, copy it to your phone's internal memory.

Load into recovery (stock !) and flash the zip.

Step-by step :

1) load into recovery (adb reboot recovery) or power button + volume up

2) push volume up and power button again to see the recovery menu and select "apply from phone storage"

3) select the "0" and then the ota.zip you put in the internal memory

It starts installing the update.

After a few minutes it needs to reboot to install the firmware.zip, just push the power button to reboot.

After the firmware installation its reboots again and you're on the latest firmware !

Enjoy !

I apologize in advance for this, but I just bought my M8 a week ago and I've spent more hours than I want to admit reading XDA. But the more I read, the more confused I get. I think the biggest problem is that I bought the Developer version direct from HTC. But this particular forum seems geared toward the international version and not the U.S. version.

So, even though I feel like it's already been answered, I just can't find it. Is there an upgrade available yet for the U.S. developer version (BS_US002)?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
check the guide in my sig mate (dev edition conversion), there is a link for the OTA and everything u need to update
[One (M8) General] midas69:
Thanks, but I looked at that thread. Maybe I'm still confused. I see what looks like an OTA for 4.4.2 and that's it.

I did find this link, but if failed trying to load via TWRP. (method 2). I've now reloaded the factory recovery so I'm going to try it that way (method 1). But I'm confused. It has the model as 1540 in the title of the zip, but it also has WWE, which would make it the International version. And for some reason Chrome flags both zips as malicious. But none of my other software alarms on it.

I'm just wondering why it's not available to just download directly on the phone. If it's out I should get it as an update. If it's not out, then what the heck am I actually loading?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
some regions get it before others (regardless of variant, i.e my italian friend got the international ota automatically before i did etc etc) I have added a link to the 2.22.1540.3 ota at the bottom of the first post in my thread. flash via stock recovery ;)
[One (M8) General] midas69:
I'll give that one a try, unless it's the same one I linked to above. That one failed too. The error message is that default.xml has unexpected contents.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
are u s off?

if so change ur CID to BS_US001: type "fastboot oem writecid BS_US001" in fastboot mode.

Should work then
[One (M8) General] midas69:
Sorry, got had to take the wife out to dinner.

So I tried this. Verified that the CID actually changed. But it still fails. The fact that the filename still has WWE in it still makes me worried, even though it also has 1540 in the filename. Something is odd with that file. I guess I could try super CID, but I'm just worried about flashing an international version and having the wrong radio files.

Thanks for the attempt to help. But I guess I'm stuck waiting for HTC to push me the update.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
C'mon guys, what good does "I don't have it" posts serve?

If it cuts people up so much maybe they should go and see a shrink or something? this is not a "i don't have the update yet so it's the end of the world and I need urgent mental health assistence" thread. There is plenty on offer INCLUDING THE AMAZING OPTION OF FLASHING OTA MANUALLY after someone uploads it. :rolleyes:

Il report any "i don't have the update yet posts" for cleaning
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
True words my friend - maybe we should join forces and open a clinic for lonely souls and help them with their sufferings[emoji12]
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Hi Mate :)

Hope u are well man.

Might be worth giving sunshine s off a go. U don't have to do anything (like flashing custom roms or firmware etc - NOT EVEN UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER :D )

Basically. I was totally stock (apart from s off) and managed to manually flash the OTA (S off needed lol)

Its a neat little way of bypassing HTCs wierd software roll outs lol!

It costs 15 quid or so but IMHO its worth it. But thats my opinion anyway :D:D

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

HAHA! Yup maybe a "Wheres my update" help centre in OT forum :D:D
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Then it won't really be "OTA" anymore, would it? Not everyone that does a google search and stumbles on this site in order to try and find out what is happening because they didn't have updates would know how to flash it manually. For that matter, it's a ridiculous suggestion that they should have to go through all that effort and costs(Sunshine S-OFF) to update a phone that was supposed to receive the update automatically in the first place. :eek:

There is no information out there for them, HTC doesn't update the people in regards to possible problems preventing certain updates to certain devices, so where must they find out about it? Heck, HTC doesn't even have a proper site page in place with all the relevant details to all the revelant updates for all their devices and news as to the progress of the roll out for these updates. The original poster here hasn't even bothered to update the post showing the latest version and it's changelog, he hasn't bothered to make any changes to his opening post in almost 5 months and almost 3 months for the second post!

As far as I see it, stating which CID/Regions have and have not received the OTA is very much relevant to the thread in which you discuss HTC One M8 updates.

That being said, I'm a bit more patient than others it would seem. I'm on HTC__203 (French) and have not received an OTA yet. Of course I'm S-OFF and all those goodies and can do it manually for another version but getting the update for me isn't as important as knowing why I haven't received the update as of yet. It's been what, a month since the update started rolling out and so many devices have not received any notification or news as to why they haven't received it? If it's all international versions, then what reason is there for one CID to get it while another can't? So, in this case, I don't care about the "how" I care about the "why" .

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

The .5 update was a GPS fix i beleive. people who got the .4 update would have also got the .5 one.

I reckon that HTC realised they cocked up the first update and integrated the fix before releasing to the rest of the unbranded international devices, Hence the delay also Hence the update showing as integration and not pushed on the HTC uk website when other people worldwide were getting the 4.4.3 update :good:

Thread Cleaned

I've just done a quick sweep of the last couple of pages and removed posts which are pretty useless in such a thread.

As has been mentioned before by others, posts stating "I haven't got the update" are no good. As this is a discussion thread, pretty much all that can come from such posts is the following conversation - "I haven't received the update yet" "Me neither".

If you haven't got the update, it doesn't mean you can't take part in this thread, it simply means that it's annoying to see the same posts over and over again. Does this remind you of ETA's, anyone?

Regards,

Is your system stock as well? In other words, you didn't delete any system apps / bloatware? If you made any changes to the system you need to get it back to stock, the OTA will only work with a stock system.

[One (M8) General] gustav30:
If you can reboot normally you can delete the OTA from your download folder. Then try downloading the OTA again. For OTA to work full stock Rom/recovery needed.

Do have a nandroid of yoir stock Rom? If the above doesn't work, you could throw on custom recovery again and restore a stock Rom that matches your CID.

[One (M8) General] BenPope:
If you're On 1.54.401.10, yeah, that's what you need. There are guides for manually installing OTA here on xda, but I think you have to copy it to a particular folder on your internal SD, and then go into recovery and press vol up and power and then apply it.
