There are several nandroid backups floating around but no signed OTA for the 709.12. I did find an OTA for 709.4 from a Chinese forum but I can't download it. If you're, by any miracle, able to download it please upload and share with me if possible.

The way I got to installing 2.22.709.3 firmware was to open the OTA and extract the firmware.zip from there. Place it into your adb folder (I assume that you're familiar with adb and fastboot) once you've placed it here you can follow the commands below to flash this zip... You need to make sure that your ModelID and CID match the android-info.txt file in the firmware.zip.. Super CID would work too. I should mention that I'm S-Off but if you're S-On then you should be okay since your MID and CID should match.Also, note that this only upgrades the firmware it won't give you any updated apps or security fixes. once the firmware is updated, you should be able to install any custom rom that is 4.4.3 and that should give you the goodies.

adb reboot-bootloader

Once in the bootloader, type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

wait for the silver HTC logo to appear, and then type

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip *assuming that you've not changed the filename and that it resides in the same folder as your adb.

Once completed, you will be notified in the command prompt but the phone won't reset. Type

fastboot reboot

Please note that this will flash stock recovery and stock radio (unless you delete these from the firmware.zip) so you'll have to re-flash custom recovery and radio image of your choice. Let me know if you're unable to find the firmware and I can update it for you.

Question - i have updated to 2.22.707 and installed twrp and want to go back to stock.. but forgot to backup the latest stock recovery.. can i use the old 1.54 or i need to use the latest one?
[One (M8) General] 09Ram:
The old recovery will do the job. If you want to redownload the latest OTA, flash your 1.54 firmware to downgrade your hboot. Flash your 1.54 Nand, and you'll get OTA again. Flash Nand before flashing firmware!

That's the cleanest way to go back to stock. :good:
[One (M8) General] WarCow:
Yeah, had the same issue. Just looked in Titanium and somehow a Extreme Powersaving app/process was frozen. Pretty sure I didn't do that. After unfreezeing and a reboot it works fine now..data shuts off when screen is turned off.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Isnt the preload folder in the ota? if it is use that, ...its just the same ...maybe updated apps that's all. EDIT: ive checked my ota and the preload folder is there, pull yours out of the ota, place it in data and try again.
[One (M8) General] paroxy:
The whole issue is with this apk in the preload folder KKBOX_Andriod.apk which is being patched in the new OTA. The OTA update is verifying that apk file. I tried using the new apk from the OTA but it didn't work because of the verification failure.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
what about downloading a copy and rename it to that whats in the preload? If your s-off you can downgrade your hboot, I think you can downgrade the other parts of the firmware package without s-off, someone correct me if im wrong, im not 100% sure.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Ive tried both ...normal and extreme, how long does the phone have to be off before the data connection gets turned off ?, ive waited 5mins on both but data seems to be working.
[One (M8) General] instigator008:
Same here. Had to unfreeze it in Titanium. Strange.
[One (M8) General] :
It gets frozen so that it does not interfere with normal homescreen (unfreeze it and then tap the home icon, you'll see)

[One (M8) General] Nihtilan:
Has anyone received the update for HTC__001?

Maybe it's just me, but the UK is always the last to get it..
[One (M8) General] geovass:
No HTC_001 yet... Still waiting.
[One (M8) General] adrianstefan:
HTC_001 - Romania - still waiting :(
[One (M8) General] chrisgtl:
Nothing for me in the UK yet. Completely stock.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Remember, if you're S-OFF you can manually flash the OTA file in the stock recovery so long as you're 100% stock
[One (M8) General] BenPope:
The UK is always last in the same way that your keys are always in the last place you look.

Once you've found them, you stop looking.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop filling up this thread with "are we there yet?".

When you do get the Update, and if nobody else with your CID has posted yet, feel free to increase the signal to noise ratio by announcing that you have it.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
you can always have a go at changing ur phone variant to one that has alrady got the OTA using the guide in my sig for pointers if you can't wait a few days ;)
[One (M8) General] is350:
Anyone get the update on AT&T variant?
[One (M8) General] sasha4fierce:
to update or not? :(
[One (M8) General] Predders:
I could't stand waiting for the OTA anymore so I downloaded the OTA.zip and did method 1 (http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.fr/2013/12/how-to-manually-install-ota-update.html)

Works like a charm! Running ARHD 10.1 on 2.22.401.10 :D

This with s-on.
[One (M8) General] letmein713:
I updated mine and you should. I got 4.4.3 yesterday. I can't wait for 4.4.4 or 4.4.5. Don't forget to use checkin code
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
The problem with the Dev Edition isn't technically made for our GSM networks so I'd recommend changing to the EU build if in Europe and Dev build if in the US ;)
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
Good point, I have added a little bit of text saying my guide is relevant to convert to any type of GSM m8 (apart from GPE lol) providing people use the correct files etc provided in the links on my OP :)
[One (M8) General] geovass:
I finally used Sunshine and got S-OFF.

Now, after trying to get in RECOVERY i get the Red Triangle after reboot.

Any solutions on this?

EDIT: Find my way around this by pressing both Volume buttons with Power button.

I am now manually running the OTA file.
[One (M8) General] sasha4fierce:
what is that CHECKIN CODE?
[One (M8) General] Justin2003:
*#*#2432546#*#*
[One (M8) General] sasha4fierce:
write CHECKIN SUCESSED and point of this?
[One (M8) General] Headhuntr:
It does actually.... nothing! :)

This code is from the older days, the first Nexus devices, to force the OTA, if you weren't in the first rollout batch. But it doesn't work anymore, for over a year now. Even Google confirmed it, that this code is deprecated.
[One (M8) General] shithead:
Really? lol xD Didn't know that.
[One (M8) General] elmido:
help, for people with s-on

for people who did it with s-on.

hi, how did you do it? i couldn't move the update.zip file to recovery/command. the android simulator says: access denied and. I am stuck at this level. need your help plz.
[One (M8) General] wor3q:
A quick noob question:

I've got stock with s-off, unlocked, European non-carrier cid.

Got notification about update.

Is it safe to install it this way, or should I flash a zip or something?
[One (M8) General] kalel77:
stock rom, stock recovery and should be working

What's your CID? Thanks
[One (M8) General] iiTz_android:
I have a rooted HTC one M8... I got the update pop up 2 days ago... I changed the recovery and I have the super CID... But when the device reboot to install the update it'll do a little bit then I get a ref triangle with exclamation mark (!) In it the update pop is driving me insane :help:
[One (M8) General] Toxicology:
Had that too with the Last OTA to 1.54.401.10 Be Sure to have fitting Stock recovery and your Stockrom has all preinstalled apps installed. If not just flash a Full stock backup from Mr. Hofs guide and StockBackup Thread.

I saw a vid that saying you cant get updates with super CID, maybe try to get your old CID back and then install it.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I got the update with Super CID so that's rubbish :)
[One (M8) General] dragonesdenano:
Same here. SuperCid On. Not a problem

Enviado desde mi HTC One_M8 usando Tapatalk 2
[One (M8) General] Toxicology:
As he already mentioned.... he HAS received the OTA but while flashing he got an error with the triangles... So this isn't a matter of cid. Moreover I think he is not really completely stock... Maybe uninstalled at least one of the preinstalled apps and the OTA will not flash properly.

[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
+1 that is almost definately the case

only other thing would be custom recovery installed, but i'm sure they have that covered ;)
[One (M8) General] HasansHg:
i dont know why but the first method didnt work for me and the ota i've recieved in phone and downloaded didin't work too they say it's because the boatloader is unlocked

i dont know what to do if any one know how to resolve this problem plz help

and thnx

by the way i've updated to 1.54.401.10 few weeks ago normally
[One (M8) General] kedar18:
Make sure that you have completely Stock 1.54.401.10 with root access. BTW, where is the method failing? Does it give warning in recovery and reboot, or something else?
[One (M8) General] sasha4fierce:
i have notification yesterday for update, but today not, im check now and shows THERE ARE NO UPDATES AVAIABLE FOR YOUR PHONE what is the problem?
[One (M8) General] xander_aa:
I had the same problem. The files that I remember modifying previously were hosts (adaway), gps.conf, and install-recovery.sh

I couldn't put the originals back so the only solution was to restore a nandroid backup.

After that the update worked.
[One (M8) General] habylab:
Hi there,

I am thinking of getting the M8, but is there a list somewhere of the changelogs for each update? I am watching reviews online and want to make sure I know what has changed or been improved since the videos have been made!

Thank you.
[One (M8) General] bhbmkii:
sorry for my off topic Question but is there any Htc one m8 sense RUU or factory image (not sure what it is called)?

even if it was on android 4.4.2 not a problem :D
[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
no, just stock backups which are about as good as we are ever gonna get for sense based roms
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
HTC never release proper changelogs, but the OTA file mentions some stuff before you install it...e.g.

System Improvements

Android 4.4.3

Security fixes

Performance optimization

Wifi

Bluetooth

Mobile network

Application updates

Camera

Gallery (Image Match)

Settings (Power History)

HTC Sync Manager

Sense experience optimization

Boomsound

Extreme Power Saving Mode

Motion Launch

Quick Setting

Super CID always gets update straight away when its released in the territory. As in Europe etc. As long as you have totally stock ROM and corresponding recovery should be fine. I always have super CID for this reason
[One (M8) General] toncij:
Care to explain "super CID", please?
[One (M8) General] iiTz_android:
I've still have the same problem... I've put all the stock apps back to the way they used to be I've changed Harman kardon back to boomsound got the original recovery from the link provided still no luck :help:
[One (M8) General] romhaja:
the CID is kind of like the "version" of your phone, while you have a SUPERCID you dont care about nothing but when you dont have it you need to check if the something you trying to flash is fitting the CID you have.

hope you understend it better now :)
[One (M8) General] habylab:
Well at least they release a changelog! No-one else does, at all. And thank you. I meant of all the updates, if there is a list of the changelogs they give out. Just so I know!

backup your data, flash a stock 154.401.10 nandroid, restore data, rstor recovery, flash ota, actually just flash the firmware.zip so you get stock untouched kernel and adsp.img aswll as recovery and boot. What I would do is go all the way back to 154.401.5, restore data and then flash both ota's

the method fail like when i wanted to install the ota i've downloaded right after little progress it get red and after some seconds reboot

i've also tried to apply it through the stock recovery but same happened

by the way can i flash the odexed 2.22.401.4 with a custom recovery(i wanna to boot the custom recover through fastboot not flash it and with the booted custom recovery flash the odexed one)is it possible

thnx for your patience with me
[One (M8) General] rdy2go:
001 no update
[One (M8) General] Darknites:
When flashing ota you have to be on stock recovery.
[One (M8) General] toncij:
Thanks. Although, that much I understand myself - a "super CID" will make your device instantly get regional updates. But, I'm more interested in:

- does a "super CID" enable compatibility with all software releases (flashing some diff. ROM, like DE or GPE)?

- ability to change a phone CID. Is it possible?

- advantages except for the update thing

- disadvantages of such action

pretty sure this thread is not meant for people to say that they don't have the ota mate. Furthermore its also not a rant thread.

Has anyone received the 4.4.3 update in the UK yet?
[One (M8) General] weepatc:
VodafoneUK here.. They've been pretty quick with updates so far but nothing so far. No sweat it will be with us shortly I'd imagine.

This thread is doing my head in as people are asking the same questions over & over again. Why mess about with the phone when they haven't a clue what they're doing when they need to get updates.
[One (M8) General] PauldUK:
Thanks a lot mate. I know what you mean about the thread doing your head in lol. I certainly know what I'm on about when it comes to Android, owned Android devices ever since the HTC Dream was released lol. Was just curious to see if anyone else had received the update in the UK. The main reason why I'm eager for the update is because of the included HTC File Manager, which as we all know, will be a Godsend for us that keep a lot of media on our phones, because it allows us to move files to the SD memory card ?.
[One (M8) General] weepatc:
Wasn't directed at you. The same questions have been asked from the beginning of the thread & is getting a bit tiresome.
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
So is 4.4.3 out in the UK yet for CID HTC__001?

[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
Sarcasm is obviously lost on you. I thought given the recent posts and the wink it would give it away.
[One (M8) General] NightOrchid:
No mate its not yet. Im also on CiD_001 SIM Free / S-ON in UK.. and as of yet, nothing.. but maybe tomorrow.. Are HTC like Nokia where they have alloted rollout times.. such as 1pm EST or something

This new 443 update is news to me.. I just unboxed my shiny grey M8 , updated to 1.54... .. looked on the web.. and im reading this.. looking forward to the camera update, wonder what HTC are doing to it..

Its like xmas.. when you see an extra present under the tree you didnt notice earlier

Excellent...
[One (M8) General] BenPope:
Instead of asking if the update is available for (insert (often irrelevant or non-specific) criteria here), isn't it easier to just check for updates on your phone? If it says not available, it's usually because it's not available for you phone. Also, if you've read th thread for any length of time, you'd know that a dozen or so that has received the update likes to post that fact
[One (M8) General] MirageBlader:

Yes it's the scrolling bar, it probably shows a solid gray color because you only have one page of application in your app drawer

I have here a different problem and i'm not sure if anyone has experienced this already, I received the update notification. downloaded the file.and when I click install, it reboots into recovery mod. thats it. Tried to install the update as custom recovery zip. but received an error says check_cid (getprop).... error etc.

My device is the international version. rooted. with HTC__J15 cid

Anybody have an idea??
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
You need to have the stock recovery installed in order to install the OTA update. You must flash it back, install it, and then flash back your custom recovery.
[One (M8) General] skmd:
I don't have a custom recovery.I'm on stock. Just rooted it to use xposed framework. which by the way I uninstalled it. same thing !
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
How did you manage that? I thought you needed to be S-Off to manually flash an update?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
providing you have:

1, stock recovery

2, the correct firmware and CID to the ota u want to manually apply

3, have not removed any system apps from the stock rom you are running (yes u can only update otas onto stock roms)

then you should be able to:

1, put your ota file on internal storage

2, boot phone into bootloader by pressing power + volume up then pressing volume down and holding to enter bootloader, select recovery

3, u will have a black screen, press power and volume up to bring up the recovery menu

4, apply update

IMHO though it's better (way way way way better!!!) to be s off then u can apply almost any ota zip (providing u are running the relevant cid, firmware and recovery mentioned above to the ota u want to apply)
[One (M8) General] Gold_Diesel:
Everytime I try doing this I get an error saying "Invalid Operation" and then it reboots. I don't know if it has anything to do with the red triangle I get before I get into the recovery menu. Have you encountered anything of the sort?
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
not myself mate
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
I have all of the above I think.

Current firmware is 1.54.401.10 CID HTC__001 and not deleted anything.

[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
Thanks EddyOS
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
Rebooting straight into recovery is, as far as I remember, exactly what happens if you try to install an OTA having a custom recovery. Also, if you don't have a custom recovery, then how could you

? Did you perhaps use "fastboot boot"? If not, then you must have a custom recovery.

Which one is the case?
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
It appears the info supplied was false. Phone is completely stock no changes at all and is S-On. The OTA zip will NOT flash it gives an invalid host error and reboots.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Same here but I get into the recovery menu. Select install from phone storage and when I do it just gives the invalid host and reboots.
[One (M8) General] exocetdj:
In that case u will need to be s off. I updated my wife's s off m7 using this method and it worked perfectly.
[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
Do you need root to install the OTA, eg put in on Internal storage, as im currently not rooted due to me needing to send my device back for a 2nd time

You can only manually an OTA if you're S-OFF
