They also said early this year that sense 7 will come with 5.1 in the summer. HTC stated that numerous times. Summer comes and bam - no 5.1 and 6.0 somewhere in the future. They don't even give some timeframe(not like they keep that too). Now put in consideration HTC current financial state and how that will affect the software development. :)

Yes, maybe M8 will get some half-baked bad update that our trusty devs will try desperately to bring to some useful state, but it will be next year and God's knows when as they will put all the working force to m9 and now new phones comes from them as aero. HTC is just awful at updating their phones(oh, I know that, I had 3 of them - desire hd, htc one x, M8 currently) and that was when they had money, now? Also let's not forget that every decent developer working in htc will run away to more secure working environment + where they pay bonuses. And last, but not least - when we get sense7 there will be sense8 out ;). Just my opinion and I really hope I am wrong.

Still remember their lies about desire hd and ICS :D

Actually HTC is the worst more notable phone manufacturer about updating their phones. Low budget phones --->really bad support from all, but most of the others keep up to date their mid range phones for some time and all of them update their old flagship phones. Ha, even some update 2y+ old models.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Your right. Motorola, for instance.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
I often see frustrated customers because their damage isn't covered under warranty! I think HTC is nitpicking to even avoid providing warranty :\ and given their current state, I don't think M8 will get sense 7 anytime soon. Can't wait to go back to iPhone! No delays with updates, the 4/4s are still getting updates :\
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
If i dont get update who fix this battery Life until December, last HTC phone, and i will unlock it
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
Unlock it now, and fix your battery life problem. I'm getting close to KitKat levels of endurance, but it did require a bit of effort and tools that require root.

As for the other, the M8 is my first HTC device - I was a Samsung user before that. I switched to the HTC camp over Knox and encrypted bootloaders, and the resultant anemic dev community. I really hate to switch at this point, especially now that so many phone manufacturers are dropping SD cards and not offering bootloader unlocks.
[One (M8) General] woodydog:
Yeah you're in good shape if you came from Samsung. I was with the s3 and first thing I did was root to get rid of touch jiz and flash aokp. Not the same with htc. I've been very happy with sence till the long spell of no updates. It's happening with the m8 now. Look in the development section almost all the action is in asop an cm roms now sence is dying out. If I got to run asop or cm I'm going nexus
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Not sure about the other big manufacturers, but Samsung is way worse with updates, (My flagship Note 10.1 2014 is still stuck on Lollipop) plus they have all that Knox and encrypted bootloader nonsense.
[One (M8) General] nhoc_maruko9x:
You mean KitKat? Lollipop is that lastest android version.
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Yes, my bad! My brain is in a bad place right now from a carrier provided firmware update for my M8 that is giving me no end of trouble. About to run an RUU to try and fix it since all other attempts at downgrading the firmware have failed. :mad:
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
Unless you are on a CDMA carrier, I would suggest getting off the carrier supplied BS train. I'm on AT&T, so I went with the Developer Edition (virtually the same ROM/FW). For other variants, the WWE seems to be the go-to non-carrier version of choice. I sleep better at night knowing the only thing AT&T on my phone is the network indicator and tramp stamp on the back.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Interesting HTC started to update thier plugins individually, last week I got an update for HTC Account now I got Motion Launch.
[One (M8) General] Damix2:
I'm hoping that Google will release Android M update for the GPE version of M8...
[One (M8) General] nhoc_maruko9x:
Actually they did it long time ago. They publish HTC apps to Play Store so every devices won't have to wait for OTA to update. I really like that way.
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Yes, that's my plan now, although Telus isn't too bad with their bloat on the M8 at least. They didn't throw a tramp stamp on it either, so it looks like a normal worldwide phone.

I'm thinking about trying the Dev Edition/GPE ROM, but I really enjoyed CM11/12 on my HTC Sensation, so I may yet go back to CM.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
Watched interstellar today. I think Miller's planet is a nice place to wait for updates :D
[One (M8) General] nhoc_maruko9x:

[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
I'm disappointed about HTC ONE M8 not being updated for such a long time.

I think the end of HTC is near, and wonder who will by it, I think it will be Lenovo who will buy HTC.

I'm really upset because ONE M8 is such a great phone with great low light camera which makes brilliant pictures in bad conditions. Sense was also also a great piece of software b
[One (M8) General] Tachi91:
haha you spend an extra min on it. HTC went under and all backups have disappeared.

On a subject related note.

Since 5.1 is being skipped and Android M update will come around 2016 Jan/Feb time frame.

Is there any new word on a Stagefright release? So far from what I gather it should be a quick patch to a process/mms. It's not like that they have to recompile an entire ROM and about the usual release stages.
[One (M8) General] navid0308:
M9 has got it. One carrier of m7 got it. It shouldn't take very long. Also, jan/feb is too optimistic....After official M code is released, htc will update m9, then htc aero, then m9+ then maybe m8 unless I missed anything....I feel like it'll be June/July before we get it by which time software support will also end

The phone downloaded the update, started to install it, rebooted and just got stuck at the booting screen, I tried rebooting it but nothing happens, it doesn't charge, I pressed power button + vol up till it showed the charging screen, and from I went to fastboot by pressing power button + vol down, tried clearing the cache and restart but still got stuck. the phone is unlocked, WWE, rooted and S-ON.

What can I do?

But, rooted, custom recovery and su isn't stock.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

So from what you're saying, HTC has messed up the stagefright fix ?

The ota messes up a, completely, stock phone ?
[One (M8) General] weepatc:
Every time there is an OTA update the forums are full of this sort of thing & it's usually people who have Rooted & altered the original stock version of the device & don't go back to the original layout before attempting an update.

If you haven't Rooted or changed anything you're OTA can be downloaded without problem.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
That's what it sounds like.
[One (M8) General] weepatc:
This is why I leave everything Stock, the way it should be. It's less hassle when it comes to updates as I don't know enough about these things & am happy enough with the device in its original state.
[One (M8) General] bingorabbit:
I haven't flashed a custom recovery, just booted it.

Sorry mate I'll need to pass on this one. Hopefully some of the more experienced people in this forum can help you find a solution. Good luck.

Unlocked and s-off won't affect OTAs but, I'm pretty sure, being rooted will cause problems.

[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
That's what I'd have expected. :thumbup:

So the folk with "issues" aren't COMPLETELY stock.

Same as me, unlocked and s-off. Currently running LeeDroid but whenever there's a major OTA/firmware update I run an RUU so that OTA doesn't fail.

:)
[One (M8) General] forever_lol:
Same here, every time OTA rolls out I revert back to 100% stock. Never experienced any single issue on any of my present/previous devices.

Hi all , I have the same problem .

Im rooted with TWRP recovery and because I was system write permissions I flash Elenemtal X kernel .

Is there a way to get this update ??

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] underboy2008:
I think you need the stock recovery. Did you try?
[One (M8) General] bingorabbit:
I restored a nandroid backup I took before which seemed unrooted, got the OTA and it went well..but I still have a couple of questions:

Why would root prevent the OTA or brick the phone when installing it? If I removed the default "Internets application that came with the phone after root "uninstalled" it, does this change stock? Would greenify with root cause that?

I'm just trying to figure out the exact reason here..
[One (M8) General] ofir_a:
No ... what is this mean ?

Should I flash again the kernel and unroot the phone ?

Can you be more specific ?

Thanks
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
First of all there are FAR MORE clued up folk on here than me. But, what I do know is that the phone needs to be 100% stock so that an ota will install. If it's rooted or had any stock apps deleted the ota will fail.

It will download but then when it checks the phone for being stock it will NOT install.

s-off and/or unlocked is OK, ota's will install.

In my opinion, if you're s-off, the best way to return to stock is run an RUU. It will also get rid of any "rubbish" left behind from a series of custom rom/recovery flashes.

As far as I know, root will also cause ota installation to fail. Because the phone isn't stock.

Just my tuppence worth.
[One (M8) General] JustinSB:
Mine was S-OFF rooted stock & got stuck on the boot screen after the OTA (as discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-stuck-boot-screen-t3186424) when I had to use an RUU to dig myself out again. I completely agree with [MENTION=5422225]10rdan[/MENTION] that for this OTA to work, you must be 100% virgin stock (but it doesn't matter if you are unlocked and/or S-OFF). My advice would be to use something like Titanium Backup to save your apps & settings, then RUU it back to bedrock. Set it up as a "new phone" when Google asks, to stop it downloading anything unnecessarily, download & flash the OTA, then factory reset it & restore your backups from Google and/or Titanium.
[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
Before I've done RUU, I had a custom rom (i can't remember the name of it) and I've installed only firmware by a 0P6BIMG.ZIP way, it pass though but it went in bootloop when tried to boot it up. I've installed the custom again and it did work. But I wanted to try new stock so I did RUU and upgrade using OTA before I did root.

What steps do i need to do to apply this update?
[One (M8) General] ahac85:
Flash stock recovery and if it still doesn't work, you need to unroot. Do note to flash ota, you need to be stock like, i.e not remove or change anything from system partition

Excuess my ignorance but can i flash stock from within twrp or do i need to download a stock recovery?
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
If you didn't backup your original, stock, rom you'll need to download one that matches your cid and the stock recovery then flash them to get back to COMPLETELY stock. Or, download the relevant ruu.

You can flash the nandroid from within twrp but you'll have to flash the stock recovery via adb.

You need 4.20.206.1 recovery or, if you can find firmware with the same number you can extract the recovery from it.

Edit... You'll find 206 firmware on the ARHD web site, download it and extract the recovery. Then flash the recovery via adb.

Connect your phone and flash .exe from fastboot mode ...there are commands to do that..it's easy follow the instructions.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
As Rjev07 says, plug it in and put in ruu mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command, without the commas. Phone will be in ruu mode when it's got a black screen and silver HTC logo. Command is case sensitive.

Then run the ruu from the pc and follow instructions. Depending on performance of your pc it can take a while for the exe to launch.
[One (M8) General] BartVCD:

exactly the same problem

and here is (hopefully for you) the solution.......

2) then

reflash

[One (M8) General] BartVCD:
I had Unlocked, WWE, rooted and S-OFF. Then I updatet OTA to 401.13, but on reboot it hung all the time. Then I reflashed supersu with TWPR and then it worked again. So if you have root und updatet OTA to 401.13 and it hung this might help you.

now I have Unlocked, WWE, rooted, S-OFF and 401.13
[One (M8) General] bingorabbit:
This really sounds interesting, I solved my problem by restoring an old Nandroid backup without flashing TWRP - probably that wasn't rooted -, the phone started normally, got the OTA notification, downloaded and installed it, a couple of reboots and it's updated, I then re-rooted the phone.

[One (M8) General] quinxy:
Appreciate the tip, sadly it didn't resolve my hang on boot problem after the recent AT&T update.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
So the phone booted up and ran properly with stock recovery but the boot problems only started AFTER installing the ota update ?

I presume you flashed a stock nandroid through twrp before flashing the stock recovery ? If you did, what was its version number ?
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
If, for whatever reason, the ruu won't run this is what I'd do.

Make sure your cid is correct.

Download and flash, through twrp, 1.54.206.5 nandroid, which is available in the forum.

Boot the phone to make sure it's running OK. If you get any ota notifications, ignore them.

Download the 1.54.206.5 firmware from the ARHD site.

With 7zip, extract the stock recovery from the firmware.

Make sure it's named "recovery.img".

Put the phone into fastboot, make sure the phone is connected. "fastboot devices".

Then flash the extracted, stock, recovery with fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

If it boots and runs ok, I'd then do a factory reset.

Hope it works.

Edit.. Did you take a backup of your stock rom BEFORE rooting or modifying it ? If you did, just reflash that in twrp then follow steps to get stock recovery.
