Taking what too seriously? Stringing facts together to show how incompetent HTC has became as an OEM and a PR nightmare? I'm perfectly fine. Maybe the fact that I completely and absolutely lack brand loyalty is foreign to you makes you read more into what I am saying as attacks. The sad truth is,nothing I said is an opinion. Pointing out hypocrisy and blatent lies and broken promises seems what a sane man would do.

I personally don't care for one OEM over another. And sad fact of reality is they all go through these trends of supporting their devices and then forgetting about then entirely. It depends on the year, the make, the model. It's a crap shoot when it comes to Android. However, this is an HTC specific forum so I am pointing out their bull**** specifically. Google has allowed Android to become a commodity. And it's being treated as such. Ultimately the blame lies with them(Google).

Android M is so ridiculously far away. I mean...is that what you would call a reasonable time frame and response to potentially the worst Android sec bug ever recorded? Google is on Android R3./its not even stable. The likes of of GPE getting an actual up to date release of Android M is zero to none. And by then two years is up. Expect nothing more from HTC. GPE is a red headed step child as far as they are concerned. And their attitude has been showing that more and more lately. Go ask any. HTC verified twitter account about GPE and the response is practically completely void of any substance. Like not a single one even understands what GPE means.

[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
Good luck to us all. I don't suffer alone. Every GPE users is dealing with it. They've abandoned products prior to what they committed to them, good luck to those people. They lied to folks on M8s about an August Sense 7 release, now it's being bundled with M? Good luck to those people. I've already got my eyes on a 2015 Moto G for field trips and a Nexus 5 2015 as soon as it hits shelves. I'm buying both of'em. But that doesn't mean I won't call a spade a spade when it comes to HTC or any OEM that drops the ball more often than they pick it up. Good luck to all HTC users. I just won't be an HTC consumer again in the near future. Not sure what luck has to do with anything.

On converted GPE m8, there's always an inaccessible drive where HTC Sync manager would show up in sense....is that normal? any way to get rid of it?
[One (M8) Android Development] niels72:
Howdy lads, before I ask something stupid I apologize up front. I normally use Nexus devices but sold it for a one plus one. The biggest badest mistake I made. What a .... phone. I scrolled down the world wide web and came across this thread. It got me interested and started looking for a used M8. Haven't found a mint device yet but will find one soon. But are there any restrictions of buying me a M8 or does this sweet conversion works on any GSM M8?

Great kudos for the developer for these sweet conversion.

Hello,

Are included in this ROM all the HTC applications as Camera (Duo Effect), Music, Gallery, etc...?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] niels72:
Not all of them its stock Android and some apps can be downloaded on play store. Camera effect present but has to be used by gallery instead of inside camera app.

Going from VZW/CMDA to GSM - Will it Work?

I currently have a VZW/CDMA One M8 and made a permanent switch to T-Mobile. I understand I won't get LTE speeds doing this, but I don't want to invest in a new phone so soon. Will using this RUU on a CDMA phone allow me access to the GSM networks or will it brick the phone? I see the notice that this RUU is not for CDMA phones but was not clear as to if it would break CDMA only or break the whole phone? Thanks in advance!

I've been using the non-rooted version for a long time now (OTA-updates working flawless), the thing is that I would love to root my phone now because of Xposed. I'm pretty novice when it comes to rooting so I'm wondering what the easiest way would be to root the phone?

Before getting my m8 I had an Galaxy s4 and I rooted with chainfires autoroot method, but I've been reading that method would not work with the conversion.

Hi,

I just realized GPE doesn't have Radio App. Is there a way?

Checked on the net and the forum and found almost nothing (some apps that do not work, apk of the original htc app but stucks on "launching radio", etc.).

Any idea?

By waiting patiently until Google decided to push the update out, and making sure that he's not rooted otherwise it will fail.
[One (M8) Android Development] Skazki:
Got the update today. Now Android version is the same, but .H9.
[One (M8) Android Development] bigbear6708:
I got an OTA notification.. But it said it'd bring me to 5.1, then I went to install and it just went away.. Assuming it was just a phantom OTA as I used an ruu to get on 5.1 gpe. Imagine an update is pending. I usually manually flash.. But I think I'll wait to make sure my OTA actually works!!
[One (M8) Android Development] ishemes:
I got the same notification. So restored a clean backup of the H6 system partition to do the OTA. But it disappeared as well. I'm giving it a day or two more to see if the notification comes back and if it doesn't I'll root again to wait for an upgrade ruu.
[One (M8) Android Development] Petert87:
I'm thinking to convert my One M8 to GPE instead of using rom to have OTA. My MID is 0P6B10000. DO I have to change is to receive OTA? Or only cid change?
[One (M8) Android Development] vanwoudt:
You only have to change your cid to GOOGL001 to be able to receive updates after conversion to GPe. Updates will only install if you are unrooted and on stock recovery. If not you have to sideload updates.
[One (M8) Android Development] glacvorx:
Okay, I've been searching for answers but got very confused. Can someone tell me how I can update to the latest RUU without wiping? Thank you so much >.<

p.s. I am rooted and on the 5.0.1 RUU, cidnum: GOOGL001, s-off, and I have no idea where my recovery went.
[One (M8) Android Development] niels72:
Side load the latest RUU using adb. Can you get in recovery using adb ?. If not I guess your custom recovery is gone. Did happen to me once but that was on a Nexus 5 so can't really tell what truly happend. I guess I f.cked up then.

[One (M8) Android Development] glacvorx:
I had my recovery flashed again so I could backup, but I have no idea how to sideload the RUU using adb, is there another way? (I'm on the 5.0.1 rooted, I want to update to "5.1 Stock Non-Rooted GPE RUU - LMY470.H6 4.04.1700.6")

Wouldn't loading the RUU wipe my data? Shouldn't I run the .zip? Just wanted to reconfirm because I saw

Thanks in advance :o.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
That's because you can't sideload an RUU. You need the OTA zip files.

Wouldn't know as soon as i got an M8 i converted it to GPe. Having said this regular daily usage, pull off the charger at 6am, by end of the day i still have between 40-50% battery left. Regular usage is texting, bbm, some articles, and Clash of Clans.

[One (M8) Android Development] mofogx:
Once again, I keep refreshing for updates, and nothing. No notification for updates at all, especially when hearing others getting them. I'm stock and never rooted 5.1 H6. I've had to resort to manually sideloading H5 and H6, and I will be disappointed if I don't get H9 automatically. That's the whole reason I did the full conversion. Does OTAs just not work for me? I initially installed the 5.1 H4 RUU from graffixnyc when I bought my M8.

[One (M8) Android Development] KirilSH1993:
First of all thank you for the quick OTA & RUU uploads, much appreciated.

Just my little nitpicking - the OS version in Bootloader still says 4.04.1700.6 for some reason, no such problem with H6 RUU--> H9 OTA :]
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Ahhh, I re-uploaded the RUU's. There is a file in The RUU called android-info.txt and I forgot to update the line, mainver: 4.04.1700.6, I'm sure this is why it say's 4.04.1700.6 in hboot.
[One (M8) Android Development] Petert87:
To solve it, you can also flash the firmware in ota.
[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
thank you for this OP :) i flashed 5.0.1 stock non rooted RUU flawlessly and changed my MID and CID to match the GPE's i have not gotten an update to 5.1 notification yet but it's just been half an hour hope to get it soon. thanks for the helpful thread once again

[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Nah man sometimes it just takes a long time maybe even a few weeks. My tablet got an update little over a month ago. It downloaded and failed cause I was rooted. For 2 weeks it said it was up to date, then one morning I woke up and it was available again, it all depends on your region.

Or just flash the new ruu.

[One (M8) Android Development] rusty-ragster:
thanks for the response :) actually i flashed 5.0.1 just for checking if the OTA works :P will stop being paranoid and give it a few more days otherwise ill flash the new RUU which btw do we have to follow the same procedure of booting into ruu mode through ADB and flashing the RUU?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Yes it's the same procedure. But I would do it the easy way. Rename the zip 0p6bimg and place in the root of an extsd card then boot into hboot. It will flash without the computer.

You don't need to flash the RUU, you can just sideload the OTA updates.

Updated after SuperSU Unroot

I was on the pre-rooted H6 ruu and was feeling brave this morning after I got the OTA notification. I used the permanently unroot feature in SuperSU, rebooted, and installed the OTA update with no issues.

No guarantees for other uses who try this and end up bootlooping, but just thought I would share this.

EDIT: Based on a reply I got I should mention that I was on stock recovery, with GPe MID and CID.

If your on the stock h6 ruu either wait for the update or download the update.zip and place on you sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the update.zip, there is usually an option to update from update.zip

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

you don't have to root, just need to flash a custom recovery.

Attached is the Stock Recovery and TWRP. Put the files on the root of an ext sd rename the one you want to flash to 0p6bimg and boot into hboot and let it flash. So you can get TWRP on this way flash the face unlock and you'll be golden. If you want the stock recovery back then do the same with that file. Just know that all updates will fail rooted or not so the stock recovery will be pointless.
[One (M8) Android Development] CzarDestructo:
My apologies if this has been answered but I can't seem to find the answer. If I'm rooted and want to install the update.zip supplied by graffixnyc, how do I go about installing it? Trying from TWRP gives me an fingerprint error and trying to sideload from the stock recovery isn't possible because I don't have the option in the menu nor an option to update from ZIP.
