People who were rooted on the Moto X got the update fine(including myself.. I sideloaded the OTA zip). People who did more than just root were not fine.. At first it was failing and we thought it was because of root.. but most of the people it was failing on 1. Weren't trying it on a device it was meant for (different model number) and people who messed with changing other stuff like flashing the modem etc..

Just warning.. When 5.0 drops we will be without root for a while.. Just so you guys know.. it's not the same as 4.4.4 where you just flash superSU and are done..
[One (M8) Android Development] reeco:
Correct. That's what I did.
[One (M8) Android Development] themacman1000:
Say what? I just downloaded the Sky Dragon L rom to mess around with and it has root. Titanium restored everything without a hitch.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Ok, you try flashing super su on lollipop and see how that works out for you.. Google chainfires posts on root and 5.0. It has to be done in the kernel. It's not as simple as flashing the zip. You have to wait until a modified boot image is released which injects root. I don't know how sky dragon does it.. On both my lollipop devices you needed to boot a special kernel that gave you root access. (Nexus 9 and Moto x)
[One (M8) Android Development] jrodsep:
Did it. And it took only 20 or so minutes. Very easy to do.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Ok.. I'm opening the thread back up.. some rules:

1. This is NOT a Lollipop general discussion thread.. Please do not ask "when is the update coming" or anything general like that.. use the proper discussion threads for that..

2. None of these questions like "my mid is xxxx will I get the update?" As we know Lollipop has changed quite a few things. There is NO WAY of knowing what will happen until the OTA starts to get pushed.. In the past you had to have the google cid at least for the OTA to come (I got it on an AT&T MID not the GPE, does that mean I will get the update this time? No.. anything else is pure speculation and guesses..

3. It has been said if you are rooted the OTA failed. I know a few people who were rooted and applied the moto x OTA zip fine.. does this mean it will be true for the m8? Nope.. only way to REALLY know is when the update starts rolling out

4. and MOST important. if your question does not have anything to do with flashing the CURRENT ruu, then post it elsewhere please. Changing MIDs, CIDS and other stuff are covered in other threads, please search for them and use them..

I appreciate everyone respecting this..

carry on...

[One (M8) Android Development] dark0990:
I think i had the same problem, i have an m8 of singapore. when i flashed the RUU i have no cellular functions( cant call, receive texts etc.). i fixed the problem by flashing the android l firmware in combination with the WWE radio found in the skydragon thread. But it will probably break OTA.

Hope this helps

M8 appears to be bricked after GPe

TMO HTC M8

Followed the steps to the letter, everything appeared to work as planned. Phone was rooted with S-OFF. After rebooting via the last step in the process, phone is now stuck at white HTC splash screen with "powered by Android" at bottom with unlock icon at very bottom middle. Phone will not reboot via power button after pressing for 60+ seconds. At a loss here, phone appears to be bricked. Ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Hold power+vol up for 25-30 seconds and it will reboot quickly hold power and vol down and it will boot into hboot.
[One (M8) Android Development] hairy.areola:
Worked. Thanks!

[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment :)

Kidding, it stands for World Wide English...as far as ruu,radio...there is a separate radio thread in these forums. As a matter of fact its actually in the m8 android development thread. I can't really help you more than that though, but people have different results. It depends a lot on someone's region as to results. Someone could be using the radio I'm using and get crappy signal reception. I don't know if this is any different for other parts of the world

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

As far as the OTA updating smoothly. Do you mean the lollipop OTA ? Because I haven't heard anything about radios for that update. I've been hearing stock recovery, MID/CID. I honestly do not think changing the radio will make an OTA run any smoother.
[One (M8) Android Development] opticus44:
Easiest thing would be to just backup your radio via adb from stock sense before you flash the RUU, then use that radio on your newly converted device.
[One (M8) Android Development] pks4510:
Sir, How to backup radio/complete backup of rom via adb ? Please guide. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] opticus44:
To backup radio via adb:

- adb shell

- su

- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20

Rename it to radio.img, you'll find the file "mmcblk0p20" on your internal memory, thats your backed up radio.

To flash your backed up radio via adb, put your radio.img in your adb folder:

- adb push radio.img /storage/sdcard0/radio.img

- adb shell

- su

- dd if=/storage/sdcard0/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20

- exit

- exit

- adb reboot

To backup rom I use Philz Touch recovery, now use google and xda searches, that helps a lot.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
There are people running 4.4 sense radio on the leak from what I gather.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
Ota will flash radio I'm sure. You might do best waiting for a custom ROM based on gpe
[One (M8) Android Development] cm6291:
Does OTA flash a radio.img based on your location and carrier? Because ever since i done the RUU conversion my wifi has been poor as well as my data conection will freeze at random times.

Ive been holding out and hoping that the OTA will fix this.
[One (M8) Android Development] MistaBishi:
No, one generic radio for GPE. You're best to flash your carriers radio for best results.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
i would keep radio with matching firmware. gpe radios works better for me on att tested numerous places

well i can't find the qa thread so sorry if i ask this but is it normal (after flashing) for the stock recovery to have the fallen android with a red ! triangle?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Yeah it is you need to hold vol up plus power to get into recovery options.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Look directly above your post and you will see tabs - discussion and Q&A - it stops the thread being flooded and allows all questions in one place

In answer to your question....yes it is normal
[One (M8) Android Development] aznblade:
ah thank you. didn't realize there was a qa button. i was looking for the thread on the htc one m8 qa section.
[One (M8) Android Development] pks4510:
Thanks. Please also guide me how to backup stock recovery via adb commands. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] lick_the_fish:
There is a link on the first page for stock recovery download
[One (M8) Android Development] PwnCakes193:
And you are correct, according to official google documentation the only approved and official way of running the software is to have matching radio firmware, and firmware in general.
[One (M8) Android Development] Martini3001:
Hello Patrick,

at first I will thank you for your work. I used your GPE (4.4.4) the last weeks and this ROM was the best I have ever used - really!

Now I found on your site a sense version of a Developer Edition.. Will I be able to flash this ROM, coming from GPE? Thanks in advance.

Martin
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
That file on my site is the developer edition RUU.exe you will need either the developer edition cid or super cid to run it. I actually haven't tried coming from a GPE converted phone back using the RUU. I was always on Sense when I used it.
[One (M8) Android Development] marken:
The only way to come back to sense ROM is using ruu?? I'm asking cuz I stuck on skydragon lollipop and can't go back to sense roms
[One (M8) Android Development] Hybridnoob:
Is there a way to convert the executable to a zip file to flash via hboot? Can you just flash the executable in hboot? Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
I explained how to get back already, did you try my steps?
[One (M8) Android Development] marken:
Sorry but how to but into stock recovery if I'm using twrp??

And yes I tried all wipes
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
If you want to get back to sense.

1. Flash a stock sense firmware. (Note: backup internal SD because it will get wiped)

2. Boot into stock recovery wipe data and cache.

3. Flash twrp recovery and then install ROM it will boot.

Note: If you don't boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache you will have issues.

If you have any other questions p.m me so we don't mess up OP's thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Honestly, this thread is not the thread to ask about going back to sense. Please go into the thread about going back to sense it's in the general section and post your questions there please.
[One (M8) Android Development] Martini3001:
Yesterday I was in the same situation. I'm not very convinced by LP at all, maybe will have to wait some weeks until Google fixes most of the bugs.

I can highly recommend the GPE version(s) which is/are available in this thread. I never run into trouble with them. They are quite perfect - I would never change (but in order to test apps I have to - anytime...)

Thanks for the information, next week I will give it a try and let you know. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Martini3001:
Hello, I just loaded the RUU.exe but get stopped by the installer. It said I have to select the right file(?) (I don't remember exactly the word) and come back... I guess it is because I tried running my phone by GOOGL001, now I switched to supercid - but following a tutorial to get supercid, I recognized some warnings that supercid is mighty but dangerous if the user doesn't know what he's doing. I used the last 4 years Samsung phones so I am quite inexperienced in the HTC "workflow".

To cut it short: How risky will it be to retry the RUU by supercid?

As always: Thanks in advance.

Martin

PS: Am I correct, when I suppose it will work, because the firmware which is in the RUU.exe seems to be the same as in the Reverting-Back-To sense tutorial ? (Hoping that's not OT)
[One (M8) Android Development] opticus44:
While this may be true, my connection bounces between H and 3G all the time using the provided GPE radio, and every now and then I have to flightmode off->on to get data working again. Restoring my stock radio from the box fixes this, atleast for me :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
There is a way, but you are renaming the file to 0P6BIMG...then you can hboot flash the zip that away...I'm guessing you are w/o a computer ? If you want a custom recovery to flash afterwards, find jball's thread. He has a twrp flashable hboot file. When you flash the 2.12.1700.1 you're flashing the stock recovery (unless you remove the stock recovery from the RUU 2.12.1700.1)
[One (M8) Android Development] Dragonswithin:
Was having all kinds of strange issues with phone calls using the GPE radio. Flashing the current T-Mobile radio (my provider) looks to have fixed this for me as well.
[One (M8) Android Development] Martini3001:
Hello, sorry when I write about one sentence about the "reverting"... I just took the 1.54... firmware and flashed it -> after resetting I ended bootlooping at the google logo. So I decided to give RUU.exe a try. RUU recognized the phone directly, so I fired it. After ca. 10 mins the update was done and the m8 is ready to use. Awesome!

Thank you very much.

[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
You have to have Google CID and MID. And also I heard that the new lollipop ota checks the whole system as a whole so you can't have any system mods, no root or anything.

Installed it fine even without mid changed, just the cid
[One (M8) Android Development] RedDeadDorito:
even relocked bootloader?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Bad Google, bad. Cannot install even on stock recovery, on freshly installed GPE. Installing via recovery shows errors, installing via OTA also. My CID is GOOGL001, phone is relocked. So I must wait for full RUU.

[One (M8) Android Development] kuzkuz:
old recovery is the problem

Hi all, i found that the recovery thread had (and still has) an outdated recovery. You just have to download the whole 4.4.4 RUU, unzip it, flash the recovery.img found inside it. Volià, Lollipop will install correctly (at least this worked for me)
[One (M8) Android Development] khan1989:
Going to give this a try, as I am also facing the "package expects build fingerprint" issue.

My MID CID is all correct, this makes sense as all OTA's since probably never ran such a deep system check.

From my readings, it looks like a lot of Nexus 5 users also faced this issue when they were upgrading via OTA.
[One (M8) Android Development] jureca:
With that comes mid OTA
[One (M8) Android Development] crisro996:
I'm not sure if it will help anyone, but I managed to flash the OTA manually using stock recovery. I had root, S-OFF, GPE CID(not MID). Basically just had this RUU flashed and rooted, nothing more :)
[One (M8) Android Development] RossMacgill:
