[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
small thing but have you tried to erase the cache which some reckon is a good idea after flashing? :confused:

fastboot erase cache

Or wipe cache and reflash again else, there is a good guide to go back to stock 100% and just go from there I suppose. I believe it's EddyOS that made the guide, it should be somewhere in the general section.

On a side note, you don't have to cd all the way to fastboot.exe location. Just open the folder in which fastboot is(Generally it's in platform-tools) hold shift button in, right click anywhere in the folder white area, and click on "open new command window/prompt" will give you a command prompt that's already "cd'd" to the fastboot.exe location.

And for other new ones that might follow your(?) steps(if it's not give credit to original author yes?) rename .zip file to firmware.zip not .zip.zip as funny as it might seem, people do it actually :eek:
[One (M8) General] Simpody:
I have soff, with super cid. However I have totally stock rom and recovery. You have to have full rom untouched and corresponding HTC recovery in order for the ota to work. Also I don't have root although I've always thought root doesn't affect it however you lose root access after update. You also have to consider the model id of the unit. Which for EU is OP6B10000.
[One (M8) General] dgtiii:
You are fine, you flashed the firmware and it was successful, that's what getvar shows. When you are booted into Android, it shows the base of the Rom you are on (in this case 1.54.401.5), not the firmware version,
[One (M8) General] MirageBlader:
If you get the install error When trying to install an ota, you need to unroot and make sure you have nothing changed in the System patition. I can install otas also the 1.54.401.10 without Problems.

After the update it's best to do a factory reset. Just to remove the 4.4.4 leftovers.
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
you know what - this is exactly what I am going to do.

I was thinking of the same after the update
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
always recommended if updating to a major new android version :)
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
Thanks - wasn`t aware of this.

Do you think I should clear also photos and everything or just a system factory reset!
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
just a system factory reset mate. I believe u have the option to leave the sd and internal storage data intact :)
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
Yes, there is such an option, hopefully I am doing a factory reset later today! Thanks again mate :)
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
NP dude :)
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
How you do factory reset ? I think that if i reset from recovery it deletes internal storage too ..
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
settings->backup and reset ;)
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
That option is gone after lollipop update [emoji20]
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Wrong ;)

Leave box at bottom unchecked
[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
This is for sd card, I'm taking about the photos and data on internal storage
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
good point!

best to backup everything then!!!!

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

In TWRP select advanced wipe and uncheck internal storage and system. This will be the best alternative

you will need to flash TWRP of course
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
Now you got me confused - what is TWRP if I may ask?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
its a custom recovery

apologies for previous **** up. seems indeed that the stock factory reset option will wipe internal storage.

i take it you haven't unlocked your bootloader etc??
[One (M8) General] aselmani:
No, I haven`t unlock the bootloaders!

I think I am going with a regular factory reset and see where it leads then.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
ok cool

just make sure u copy anything from your internal storage that you intend to keep :)

PSA: HTC has (in the last 24 hours) changed their software update page for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.

They moved this device from Phase 2 (Integration) to Phase 3 (Certification). I believe this means their work on it is done, and they are testing it in their labs prior to official release to Verizon.
[One (M8) General] Behold_this:
Most of the major US carriers are in certification stage except for Sprint which started pushing their update today.

[One (M8) General] ashmont:
I have the same problem. I was using and liking smart unlock for trusted locations. I have just switched it off as Google Play Services seems to be using location a lot and battery seemed to be fine before I switched it on.

OTA Update won't install on stock

I'm in the UK & have an O2 M8, SIM unlocked running on EE, Rooted & S-OFF, running stock (4.4.4). I replaced my TWRP recovery with a stock recovery (version 3.32.206.2) & allowed it to download the Lollipop update, but the OTA still fails to install & stops with a red triangle after around 30 seconds.

What are my options & what would you advise?

Do you think that a Titanium backup then factory reset would allow me to run the OTA, & if so, could I safely restore my backup afterwards?

I have a Nexus 7 2012 tablet (grouper/nakasi), & made the mistake of "upgrading" to Lollipop late last year (5.0, then 5.0.2). Does anyone know if the M8 Lollipop OTA has the massive memory leaks, appalling lags & endemic crashes that has plagued the Nexus 7 Lollipop fiasco? I've had months of factory resets, flashing, re-flashing, clearing caches, "clean installs" & restores on my tablet because of Lollipop, & as I rely upon my phone as a necessary tool, I can't afford to have it shot to hell until Summer? Is Lollipop safe on the M8 or is it completely radioactively toxic, like Lollipop on my Nexus 7 tablet?

edit: OK, simple really. The solution to this (as mentioned below in #4017) is to use the recovery.img from the OTA that you are trying to install...! Once you have allowed your phone to download the OTA, copy the zip from the download directory on your phone onto your PC, open it in your normal zip software, then open the firmware.zip that is inside it - there it is, the recovery.img that you need to flash in order for your OTA to install properly. Worked like a dream.

For the record, my M8 seems nice & fast running Lollipop & it all seems to be really good.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
As you're S-OFF why not convert your phone to the unbranded version? You can download the RUU and flash it via fastboot. OK, you'll have to set the phone up again but at least you'll know it's a clean install.

As for issues with lags, it doesn't seem as bad as the Nexus devices (I had a Nexus 5) and when I used my M8 as GPe it also didn't seem to have the lags either. The 2012 Nexus 7 was horrible on Lollipop but I think that's more hardware-related than the OS IMO as the 2013 Nexus 7 is fine from what I've seen
[One (M8) General] JustinSB:
ahh yes, search the forums for an answer...

OK, I'm busy following the instructions & comments here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/red-exclamation-mark-updating-to-t3023788

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58511096&postcount=4106

& I'm pulling the recovery from the OTA zip & am about to flash that & see what happens...

edit: & if that doesn't work, then I'll definitely try the advice from EddyOS, which would also have the benefit of clearing the O2 startup logo (which has always annoyed me). :)
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
If you're going the RUU way, get the 4.16.401.10 ZIP and use this fastboot file to flash it when in 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' mode

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249

e.g. htc_fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip

It's the HTC version of fastboot and will flash the RUU ZIP whereas the Google one won't. That or just copy the ZIP to a microSD card and flash it in HBOOT (make sure it's renamed to 0P6BIMG.zip). Either way, make sure you're either Super CID or HTC__001

EDIT: Might have to download the RUU in EXE format as the ZIP link has been removed but you can get the ZIP from the EXE if you want/need it
[One (M8) General] JustinSB:
linux, not windows...

I run Linux (Ubuntu 14.10) rather than Windows, & the fastboot that you pointed me to is an exe file. I used the fastboot that I have installed to individually flash the images from my Nexus 7 RUU quite successfully, so could I pull the same stunt again?
[One (M8) General] :
Best advice, make it a Google Play Edition.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Ah, OK. The Google fastboot files can't extract the ZIP to flash which is why HTC has their own version. You'll need the ZIP and do it via microSD card in that case. I'd upload the ZIP but my poxy 1Mbps upload would take forever!

EDIT: ZIP is still up - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleU2NqcVB3NWxoNnM/view
[One (M8) General] MSIOCGenie:
Regarding battery drain. I could have location on with 4.4 without issues, and I can't turn it off for security reasons. Does that mean I'm just gonna have to do with this crazy Google play services battery drain until an update fixes it?

Yes.

What version of Google Play services are you using? My battery drain is OK with 6.6.03
[One (M8) General] JustinSB:
RUU method

I'm already downloading it from androidfilehost, as I followed the link from the M8 RUU page here:

RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection (the .401 RUU-Zip folder).

However, in terms of fastboot & the HTC or Google versions, you can download the HTC version from HTC-Dev.com & it gives you the links whilst you are requesting the unlock bootloader code at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions

The links for the HTC fastboot are:

fastboot-linux

fastboot-mac

fastboot-windows

although you may need to set up a free HTC-Dev account in order to view/download stuff from them.

Am I right in assuming, because I am S-Off, that I can just run:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

& then just flash in the 1.5gb zip that we mentioned above, following Section 3 of VomerGuides [M8] here?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Downloaded the fastboot file (for Windows) and it is different to both the HTC one I posted and the Google one so should be OK, especially if from HTC themselves (the other HTC one was pulled from the RUU.exe fille)

So, to recap:

1. Write CID to either HTC__001 or 11111111

2. Reboot phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU

3. Flash the ZIP - fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip

This is optional

4. Once flash is complete, reboot to bootloader - fastboot reboot-bootloader

5. Boot into stock recovery

6. Factory reset the phone

7. Reboot

[One (M8) General] Josh8550:
Yeah, for some reason it doesn't update automatically sometimes. If ever. When there's a major update it let's you know when you open Google Now or something but other than that it's a pain the ass.
[One (M8) General] stuart0001:
For those getting annoyed with the GPS polling every time you unlock the screen. Smart lock is the culprit and simply turning off trusted locations doesn't help.

You have to disable smart lock in the trusted agents section of security settings.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Well, if you have trusted places turned on of course it's gonna check location to make sure you're within the radius of the location - wouldn't exactly work otherwise. And it's so minimal I don't mind it (I have home set up as well as my Moto 360 as a trusted device)

[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I'm guessing we won't get it unless the fixes are needed for the M8. Not even the Nexus 6 has 5.0.2 so it's not the end of the world if we don't get it
[One (M8) General] ashmont:
I was worried that that was the case. I find the trusted locations and trusted faces thing very useful in the absence of a finger print reader.
[One (M8) General] :
Who cares, the stable version is the important one.
[One (M8) General] stuart0001:
My point is even with no trusted locations set it still checks locations unnecessarily.
[One (M8) General] :
Turn it OFF.
[One (M8) General] TwistyValhalla:
Yes, I've noticed this also. Seems like an issue to me. It shouldn't be checking for location if trusted locations are not being used or if someone is just using trusted devices.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Do you have lock screen weather on? If so, that'll check for location. What's the point of a smartphone if you turn off half the functions that make it smart. I never turn anything off
[One (M8) General] :
Location is half? Think again.

[One (M8) General] stuart0001:
As per my original post on the matter. Disabling smart lock from trusted agents is the only way to stop it. At least without turning off GPS. When I do the former the GPS polling stops.

Definitely a bug somewhere.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Really? I was generalising, of course I know it's not half the bloody features...

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Why is it a bug? How do we not know it's not designed this way? My Nexus 4 does this, as did my Nexus 5 when I had it, and now the M8 does it too so I'm guessing it's designed this way. And, lets be honest, does it really matter? Does it affect your use of the phone in any way?
[One (M8) General] stuart0001:
Call it a bug or badly designed, I don't care. Either way my battery resource is being wasted by a function that keeps firing up the GPS for no purpose because I have no trusted locations set to check.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
It's not, though. Having GPS on for a few seconds will have no noticeable affect on battery life so it's a non-issue. Now if it was on and staying on all the time I'd agree with you. As you originally said, you're annoyed with it happening but it's not harming your use of the phone - or is it?

I'm honestly not trying to stir something here btw :)
