Yup. I have questioned them loads about that and they just use the "it's rolling out globally." Default answer.

Well actually it's not. It's a staged roll out and I fail to see one good reason why all OEM unlocked devices can't get the update straight away. I understand slower for carrier versions so they can fill it with crap before pushing to the customer. But not for non carrier unlocked devices.

HTC UK on Twitter I am positive is staffed by idiots who just use google to get answers to questions on. At least in the US they got told a firmish date (I.e end of week)
[One (M8) General] smudgelab:
Yep, I asked for a specific date for UK unlocked update... Managed to dodge the tumbleweed during the wait. I remember the m7 update being released then pulled then re released. Was about 2 wks after reports of initial roll out before, I reckon the same again so probably Friday /Monday... Happy to be proved wrong though ?

Edit... Just checked again and the spiel now is that it's been released globally but should be with us in the next few weeks... Seriously, clueless...
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
Why don't you guys just change your CID so you can get it?
[One (M8) General] loganserval:
because for changing our CID we need to be S-OFF

and for that we need to span 25 box by obligation ( no choice)

this is not really the spirit I like.

I can clearly understand that developer take time to make an application/ code / exploit but I can't understand that you must pay for it ( i prefer the donation way)

so no S-Off mean no super CID mean wait and see ( and also cry like a baby a little bit ;) )
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
Doesn't SuperCID block OTA updates? Sure i read that somewhere.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Yup i've just unlocked and S-Off. Change CID to SuperCid and no updates are available. Need to find a CID that is currently getting the update and change to that.
[One (M8) General] loganserval:
Nop don't block it if all the rest ( rom , recovery, ....) are stock.
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
Well it is on my Phone.

Anyone know of a CID that is receiving the OTA? I know i can manually install but if i can just change to a CID that gets it i find that easier.

Hey guys!

I have a HTC One M8 from Vodafone (Portugal) and I want to get it unbranded (get rid of the Vodafone ROM and install WWE/International stock version) so I can get more and faster updates and delete all the carrier bloatware.

I have been reading some threads but I still have some questions:

- There are stock recovery files here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 and let's say I want to install STOCK RECOVERY 2.22.707.3 (My current software number is 1.54.161.10)

What should I do to accomplish that? S-OFF -> Download that recovery file and install/flash it?

I don't want custom recovery (unlock the bootloader), just want the WWE version.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Use sunshine to achieve s-off and unlock bootloader without htc dev, follow tutorial for conversion, and then follow instructions to lock bootloader.
[One (M8) General] ricardoq:
Thanks [MENTION=4702469]boe323[/MENTION]

After achieving S-OFF all I have to do is install/flash STOCK RECOVERY 2.22.707.3 (listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) to get WWE/International version? Or do I have to install some other stuff like firmware, stock ROM...?

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] boe323:
You need a full conversion, firmware and stock rom from the unbranded m8, we're off topic so I wont be answering again, its the rules.

My One M8, bought mid-july started using last week of july, came with 1.54 something software and now I have successfully downloaded 2.22.1540.3. One question relating it, is there a possibility of a stock everything phone can be messed up by a stock system update? Its my first time using stock supplied android (my first android was a S3 and it sucked so i never used the factory os) and i was wondering :)

Oh also, another question. I bought the dev edition unlocked rather than the normal unlocked or the GP Edition; what difference does the dev edition do? I bought it so because it was $20 cheaper on amazon than the normal one and the GP one came in the ugly silver (i have the gunmetal, love it.)

So yeah, briefly what difference does the dev edition change?
[One (M8) General] nerlim:
Thank you so much for the link.

As he flashed it? :D:p
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
It's safe. Of course there is always the risk of something going wrong, but if an official OTA update, for any reason, fails installation on a completely stock phone (no root, no bootloader unlock, etc) and it screws it up, that is HTC's fault, not yours, so they will fix it under warranty. ;)

There is no developer edition in my country, so I might be confused, but AFAIK the developer edition is just the "normal" edition of the phone, with Sense 6, where the only difference is that the bootloader comes unlocked out of the box. This means that you can flash custom ROMs straight away without having to unlock your bootloader first, if you wish.

The Google Play edition is a special edition: it doesn't run Sense 6, it runs the stock, vanilla Android from Google, and it gets Android updates almost instantly. You can think of it as a "Nexus M8". On the GPE a lot of of software features you find in Sense are missing, however there are some people who still prefer totally pure Android, and they will go for the GPE. If you do not belong to this group, then you bought the right edition.:good:
[One (M8) General] Simpody:
Super CID doesn't block ota. I have super CID and I got update as soon as it was avaiale for EU (i'm in UK). As long as you have full stock ROM and correct corresponding stock recovery it will be fine and you get updates straight away. Soff doesn't matter. Whether locked or unlocked

If you change the CID to HTC__001 and you MID matches the international model you will get the OTA TO 1.54.401.5 if you have the corresponding 1.12 firmware already on. We need a leaked RUU or something to get there, however I think we can use the firmware thread that Mike has released in the development thread.

[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
I unlocked the bootloader and got S-Off, reflashed stock recovery. Then changed to SCID and then when I went into software update it said nothing available. Changed to a different CID that is receiving the update and it registered straight away.

In the end I changed back to HTC__001 and did a manual flash which worked first time.

No idea why it never came through with SCID.
[One (M8) General] uronfire:
Didn't work for me on super cid too. Did it work on HTC__001?
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
The manual flash did. The OTA isn't coming through on HTC__001 Devices yet.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

So this is true for me but not for others. Weird.

While SuperCID may seem handy, note that if you are only interested in debranding your phone, the OTA (over the air) updates which HTC sends will not be available for your phone, since there is no specific region defined. So, in such cases, you should choose a specific CID for your region.

Some "Quick" Questions. If to much off topic let me know.

I have an unbranded stock M8. Currently I have 1 system update pending. This is some personalization update from Vodafone (think something to do with paying with your phone, don't want to install because I don't want useless/badly coded software from Vodafone). However if I press "NO" it the update still shown every time I go to settings/about/Software updates. First question: Is this update going to prevent me from recieving the 4.3.3 update via OTA (CID HTC_E11, i know this CID is not yet recieving the update)? Second question: How to get rid of this vodafone system update?

If your phones unbranded then it wont be a Vodafone update, its probably just an update for pay by phone options, like paypal etc.

File Manager

Like other's have metioned my main focus on getting the 4.3.3 update is to have the new file manager so I can move files between internal memory and SD card. I extracted the file manager apk from the OTA zip included in this thread. This seemed to install fine but it wont let me write to the SD card. Can any one has has managed to install the OTA update successfully confirm if the file manager does indeed allow this?
[One (M8) General] hdorius:
The file manager can write files to sdcard (move from internal to sd)but the apk can't install it as standalone apps,it must be on /system or something like that to make it working properly.. CMIIW

Edit : it's in /system/priv-app ,so u must wait for the update or root your device to make it write to sd card...hope it helps :)

I do have an unbranded and completely stock M8 (never unlocked, never rooted, ...) with CID HTC__102 and did not get this update yet. With my former HTC devices (ONE X and Desire, also completely stock in those days) I normally did get the updates very early, but not this time, which seems strange to me.

It seems HTC takes a long time to allow to update all unbranded devices this time. Better slow but safe than fast but unsafe. ;)

I asked T-Mobile Poland why many of the European unlocked phones come with their firmware and when would they update them. This was their answer:

Hello*

Thank you for correspondence.

*

I have no kwonwledge that can confirm that most European phones come with our Polish T-Mobile firmware. The fact is that branded firmware is only prepared by phone producer for devices that can be aquired via contracts and other T-Mobile promotion for our clients in Poland.

*

If the phone is from other distribution (beside Polish T-Mobile) it should have slightly diffrent firmware*and why it doesn't have one - I cannot answer that and I'm affraid*it is not our issue. Maybe the phone is second handed, bought in Polish T-Mobile but I cannot*verify that or provide any further information without proper contract data of the owner.*

*

As for eventual update - for now firmware 1.57.118.2 is the latest one we have from HTC and unfortunetaly we have no*data about future updates. We are aware that it lacks certain features but we can only wait for official firmware form producer.*

[One (M8) General] references:
Well the new camera software has changed how the viewfinder works in manual mode..

This is how the camera worked in manual mode before:

Choose desired settings for iso and exposure, viewfinder shows you exactly what you just entered on the settings, tune till you get desired iso, exposure settings and focus. Finetune everything, colors etc.. When you are happy of what you see, take a picture of it and you get what you saw on the viewfinder. Excellent..

After update:

In manual mode, using exposure times of 1-4seconds the viewfinder does not show what you put on the settings, instead it shows you darker, lag free image, sometimes so dark you can't even focus on anything.. Taking a pic with 1-4s gives you black screen with text saying "please keep your device steady" or something like that and it goes off after 1-4s, you see the results on gallery.. It may be out of focus and dark/blown.. You never know before you have taken the picture.

[One (M8) General] Frutek:
On previous firmware you had preview before you took picture even at 4s. This made interface bit laggy but you could easily set the focus. Now when you need longer time than 0.5s you can't see how much more light will get into the camera. This make things harder when trying to shot at low ISO with very little light.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
