Ok.. 3 quick things.

1. I closed this thread for the time being until the OTA drops. I subscribe to this thread obviously and my phone kept going off with notifications and 99% of the time it had nothing to do with flashing the RUU. So I'm keeping it closed for the time being until the OTA drops. HTC JUST got the code from Google yesterday. They still have to make their modifcations (add in boomsound, dot view support etc) Then they have to send it back to Google who will then push it out. Thinking it will be this week or even next is unrealistic.

2. I really would like someone on a Sense based device to try the conversion without a computer (but be near one in case something goes wrong) Put the RUU zip on your EXTERNAL SD card but named 0p6bimg.zip, powerdown the phone and go into Hboot (not fastboot, hboot) by holding down vol down and power. It then should read the zip and ask you if you want to update. PM me if it worked and I will add this to the OP CONFIRMED WORKING

3. While we are all waiting, and I know a lot of you go back and forth between stock and custom recovery.. ::: Shameless plug now :::: Go download my App Simple Recovery Switcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.graffixnyc.m8recoveryswitcher And if you are REALLY nice you'll get the donate version. :P https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.graffixnyc.simplerecoveryswitcherdonate

Ok.. So stay tuned for the Lollipop drop :P

EDIT: Updated the OP with instructions how to convert without a computer
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Opened the thread back up.. Hopefully all the people asking when 5.0 will drop started asking elsewhere :P
[One (M8) Android Development] farru503:

[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
i will convert when lollipop drops but i wanted to know does firmware version matter in terms of performance? i am yet to flash the latest firmware which was released by HTC so wanted to read the procedure again if it is needed..thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
This is a GPE all inclusive RUU. None of those Sense firmware stuff matters here.

[One (M8) Android Development] R4INS:
Thanks for the thread and the files. Converted to 4.4.3 last night, and the ota to 4.4.4 worked so i should be good to go for 5.0!
[One (M8) Android Development] HabueN:
And there is still not known if both cid and mid must be changed for the ota to work?
[One (M8) Android Development] farru503:
Cid is a must...some people (like myself) changed mid too

[One (M8) Android Development] HabueN:
Witch one did you use? red somewhere that the 1700 one was official together with GOOGL001 cid, is that something near the truth ?

Correct

[One (M8) Android Development] HabueN:

[One (M8) Android Development] R4INS:
I didn't change my mid just the cid. Ota from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 worked fine. Mines an ATT model but don't know my mid off hand.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
There Is a list of suitable MIDs in the OP everyone
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I wonder if one MID would get the OTA faster than the other. Probably not. I'm guessing most of us won't need to wait for the OTA, someone will share it and it will be a manual OTA afterwards.

Why wait or google to push it when it can be manually done right away :)
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
It's also helpful to know...if you have superCID (11111111)...You're good to go....I was worried about my CID not reflecting the CID mentioned in the OP about receiving those updates...but now I know I'm good to go

If I give wrong info, correct me
[One (M8) Android Development] lick_the_fish:
I was cid 11111111 with s-off.

I tried to change the cid to GOOGl001 and i didnt think it had worked but my HBOOT now says that is my cid so thats all good.

I had changed my MID to 0P6B17000

I downloaded and flashed the stock un-rooted 4.4.3 update, as soon as I had set it up it downloaded the 4.4.4 update for the GPE edition. BEFORE I installed this, I made sure to flash via RUU the stock recovery and bootloader and splash screen. Then I installed the 4.4.4 update for GPE devices with no problem.

Therefore I can only assume that, when the OTA for lollipop gets pushed to GPE devices, I will get it straight away.

Positive points, the battery is excellent, the ui is so much more responsive and snappy than using Sense. Can't wait for Lollipop. Its made me fall in love with my M8 again :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Iconic24:
I converted to GPE a few days ago and I've noticed that reception seems to be worse on GPE compared to Sense (based on signal bar strength). I never bothered checking the dBm on Sense so I can't compare actual numbers.

Hi guys ,

i am thinking to convert my m8 to GPE but the download links are not there

i followed the website mentioned in 1st post and when i click on 4.4.4 rooted to download i get to the download page with this message :

4.4.4 Stock Rooted

To download enter the captcha and press enter. The file will begin to download

You might have to disable ad-blocking for the captcha to show

I have tried removing ad-block and tried 3 different browsers but can't see any captcha or download link

any help please ?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
It is a large box with video playing - it is java/flash

Under the picture it will say in blue writing ' Please enter' and then the captcha phrase. Enter that and it works perfectly, just tried it.

[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
No one knows at the moment and I think that the fact that we haven't heard of a leak, screenshot of an M8 running L, means that we have a bit more waiting to do before an official OTA.

Follow moversi on twitter, he said that HTC would post a timeline for GPE updates this week. Hopefully he is able to give us dates or ETAs.

[One (M8) Android Development] Robcadams1974:
I successfully converted my M8 and was curious whether I would receive any OTA updates. I think I will convert to 4.3 and see if an OTA to 4.4 works. My question is this; what is the beat way to convert to 4.3? I am on 4.4.4 non rooted version.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Easy, download the GPE RUU Zip for 4.4.3, you'll get the 4.4.4 OTA and if it installs you should be good to go.

It's why I always RUU one version behind, I like to make sure the OTA will work.

Lower System Rom on GPE

First thank you graffixnyc for this guide and downloads.

Successfully converted my international HTC to GPE but in Titanium I notice that the system Rom is 1.05GB with 231mb free.

This is much lower (half) of before conversion.

Is this normal?
[One (M8) Android Development] gitin:
finally i managed to download the file,, now i am about to flash it

but just 1 question before i proceed

does this erase external memory card ??

mine is 64gb and almost full, i need to place the zip on external card to flash

but instructions suggests to remove any external memory card

it will be very hard to copy all data to my computer

please confirm

thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I used the ZIP many times and never removed my SD card and it never was wiped.

Internal storage though, different story.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Thats totally normal, GPE conversion gives you GPE system partition of ~1.25GB. If you convert you cannot flash a sense rom without unconverting(flashing sense firmware). The literally only reasons to convert are to get GPE ota and the black HBOOT. Sense firmware can flash gpe roms all day without converting.
[One (M8) Android Development] bluegrass55:
Thanks for the reply.

I tried a couple of Sense based roms and a few AOSP and didn't get on with them. With this GPE it's like using and N5 but with screen touch unlock function.

I noticed that on the GPE it runs at much lower temperature. Previously it was average 38c now 27c.
[One (M8) Android Development] sageandonion:
Lollipop is on the loose! OTA' inbound for nexus devices. Now to see how long the gpe update takes.

[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
So what do you need to have in order for your device to get OTA updates?

You need the stock unrooted RUU + stock recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I think it's fine if you have the rooted one as well
[One (M8) Android Development] fraehngi:
Just want to drop this here, if some one asks again. [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i tweeted that they're about to release an update timeline this week for GPE devices which will get Lollipop. Also he said lollipop will roll out much sooner then sense lollipop

Edit: I've seen moversi has mentioned already. Sorry about that. But I guess it can't be mentioned too much ;)

just do a factory reset with stock gpe (or sense, if you reconvert) recovery next time to prevent this.
[One (M8) Android Development] themacman1000:

[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
I thought I did that earlier, ended up having to bootflash an RUU zip to recover...

Is it normal to have the normal recovery pop an android with a triangle over it? Or should I be doing some sort of fsck on my filesystem(s)/partitions?

Searching a bit more, apparently that's standard behavior...

[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
Latest tweet from Mo says the HTC gpe 5.0 update will start rolling out early next week!
[One (M8) Android Development] cadialex:
Hi ! Just a little question about the L update. I've seen in SkyDragon's thread that it needs another firmware. Is the firmware automatically updated via OTA ? Or will we have to run the RUU again ?

If we need to re-run it, is there a way not to loose or data ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
The OTA will include the firmware so you don't have to worry about that. If you are on GPE with stock recovery, everything should be updated.

Now this is optional, but one thing I will do after the OTA is do a restore to factory default because it's fun, and because I want to start fresh.

I'm sure someone will come up with an Android L RUU the same way we have a 4.4.4 RUU now.

I don't know why exactly we weed to run a manual firmware installation twice for it to work (I'm sure the answer is easy to find), but we don't need to do that with an OTA

My plan is this, for now i'm enjoying SkyDragon. Sunday evening I'll wipe everything and use this RUU to go back to 4.4.4 and wait for the OTA, either straight to the phone or someone will post it. Once the phone is updated, reset to factory default and do everything fresh... until L with Sense gets released ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Yeah my device is ready.. Hehe as soon as the ota drops and as long as I'm home when it does I will update the RUU.

Edit you have to run it twice because the first time it updates the bootloader.. That's why it reboots the phone back into ruu mode to load the updated bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Cool, good to know. I've noticed that with your RUU, the Google now "Yes I'm in" part is black, pretty cool.

I really like how L looks but I can't use the Google now launcher anymore, I don't like that white background.
[One (M8) Android Development] davelikestacos:
I know this isn't the SD thread, but how is the SkyDragon Android L ROM? I'm wondering if I should bother flashing it or just wait until next week to get official L on my M8.

Also, I used the RUU in this thread to convert my AT&T M8 to the GPE Edition. My bootloader is unlocked, S-OFF, using SuperCID, and TWRP recovery. If I want to get the OTA update, will I be able to get it with my phone in this state or do I have to change/remove something?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Its pretty good. Now that we know the OTA is early next week it might not be worth it.

It really depends how much you like flashing. I'm tired of it but I wanted to see and I'll keep it until Sunday evening
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I know I've probably asked before, but do I need to do anything about CID if I already have 1111111 in order to receive OTA update. I haven't switched to stock recovery yet, I'm still on philz. I'll switch soon.
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
I'm unsure... I changed my CID and MID just to ensure my phone's happy... It didn't take very long to switch both to be honest.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Yeah, I can't change CID...Im SUPERcid, but w/o a computer
[One (M8) Android Development] davelikestacos:
So you have to be on stock recovery and the GPE CID to receive OTA updates? I was wondering since I'd like to get the OTA update next week whenever Google releases it.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
TO GET OTA UPDATES AND NOT HAVE THEM FAIL YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR CID TO MATCH THE GPE CID(it has yet to be determined if the mid must match the GPE as well)*

In fastboot mode type fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001. If you take the OTA without having your Cid set to GOOGL001 the firmware in the ota does not get flashed and anything controlled by the kernel won't work (camera, wifi etc) you must set your Cid BEFORE taking the update.*

This was taking from graffix's first page, but I do believe he said having SUPERcid was fine,and I could still receive ota updates...but yes I know for certain you have to have stock recovery...

I'm not on stock recovery yet because I'm still flashing a lot of zips, but as soon as words out about the OTA. Im switching to stock recovery, then switching back to philz touch. If the OTA us anything like HolyAngels 5.0 GPE. I might wait a month til everything is more stable..Some users on that thread has mentioned root problems and app incompatibility issues..the root problem is easy to fix by downloading the beta release of the latest superuser.apk
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
That creates a bit of a challenge then... I know for certain mine's happy with CID & MID changed... (updated from 4.4.3 -> 4.4.4 via OTA)...
[One (M8) Android Development] :
I recently converted my device to GPE, then ran the Firmware upgrade and installed the SkyDragon 5.0 ROM. I'm happy for now, but I would like to switch to stock GPE 5.0 when the OTA drops.

My device is currently running CID-T-MOB010 and HBOOT-3.19.0.0000. My MID is 0P6B13000 as determined by "fastboot getvar mid" command.

Is there anything else I will need to do in order to take the OTA? Will I need to change the CID and MID first? If I do change the CID, would it be best to use SuperCID or GOOGL001?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer assistance.

[One (M8) Android Development] lick_the_fish:
"That said, if you're one of those who like to tinker with your devices, you'll have to flash a completely stock system image before applying an update because changing anything by so much as one byte will throw off the signature and make it so the OTA will fail."

Hence why your cid and mid needs to match. And you need stock recovery. And boot. As per the original post :thumbup:

Off topic question. Lollipop allows you to enable encryption at the setup stage and encrypts on the fly after that.

I have received OTAs with the ...12000 MID and ...17000 MID so I think they both work, but from what I have been reading the real GPE MID is the one than ends with 17000 so I think that's the more likely MID to get the OTA first.
