Much Wow,

There was a thread to discuss sense 6 on the M7 and the differences from the version found on the M8, screenshots of the update, and decent discussion without all the "can I update with root" "when is my region getting the update" fluff. That thread got closed within a day as "there is already a thread about updates".............. And this drivel is allowed to exist?

Mods, feel free to clean this comment when you rightly close this thread.

Is there i can automatically move new downloaded messages to a specific folder? or any 3rd apps available for this process.

qmail

qmail has this facility, but the manual is in Japanese...the best English manual is

http://www.azol.ru/texts/QMail3_eng_FAQ.htm

you can run it on the sd card and it has powerful macros, so that you can put new emails into folders based on age, based on text in the email, etc.

With that said, I'm still figuring out how to do this and I don't read Japanese.

I'm looking for a way to do this as well. I was hoping there would just be a plugin to modify the existing email client to support this.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
Does anyone know if it's possible to convert the HTC One M8 to a developer edition version? I've tried searching online and see that it was a possibility on last year's M7 but can't find anything specifically about the M8. Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Yes, it's possible.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
Thanks. Can you provide more detail on how to accomplish this or refer me to a thread that has that info?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
I guess you want some details, huh? ;)

You'll need to get a Developer Edition stock recovery and a Developer Edition nandroid backup. (I'm lazy, so will just use "DevEd" instead of Developer edition.)

To get BOTH of these things, hop on over to a thread in the non-carrier specific M8 section: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Find and download the nandroid (TWRP) for CID BS_US002. Specifically, you should get the 1.12.1540.17 version. (There's a good reason for getting the older version...) You should also get a current TWRP image. (.img, not a zip file.) If you don't know how to get this image, then I'd advise NOT converting your device.

Then you can follow these steps:

Boot your phone normally.

Unpack the TWRP nandroid and place the folder into the proper directory on your phone's sdcard (/sdcard/TWRP/Backups/SERIAL_NUMBER/ or /sdcard2/TWRP/Backups/SERIAL_NUMBER) Replace "SERIAL_NUMBER" with your device's serial number. You should end up with a folder structure similar to: "./TWRP/Backups/HTXXXXXXXX/BackupName/" with the actual backup files in that directory.

... at this point, you might want to go ahead and boot into TWRP recovery to make sure that the backup you put in there is visible. It's fairly common for people to put the nandroid in the wrong place. I even did that myself once....

reboot into fastboot mode.

change CID to BS_US002 (BS_US001 is the "unlocked" version, BS_US002 is the DevEd version): fastboot oem writecid BS_US002

If you're starting with an AT&T branded device, there's no need to change the model ID (MID) as it's identical to the DevEd device.

reboot back into fastboot (to make sure the CID change worked): fastboot reboot-bootloader

use fastboot to put the proper DevEd STOCK recovery in place: fastboot flash stock_recovery.img

Probably not needed, but while in fastboot go ahead and run this: fastboot erase cache

Use fastboot to boot into (but not flash) the appropriate custom recovery. Example: fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img

Use the custom recovery to wipe the data/cache/dalvik cache partitions.

Use the custom recovery to do a full restore from the backup copied to the phone above.

Reboot to the normal system. You can now accept OTA's and they should work. (They did for me.)

.... The reason for installing the older firmware version was to "test" the system by allowing the OTA to happen. If the OTA fails, then you screwed up the above steps.

I was typing. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Either will work, does not matter if its BS_XXXX1 or BS_XXXX2 as long as its the Brightstar cid, has no bearing on software whatsoever or the functionality of the software or phone...the ota comes with both so either will work regardless.....lol
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DG4FREE:
Worked for me as well. Downloading the OTA as I type this. Thank you for the detailed instructions. Attempted to do this before when coming from the GPE ROM and had several issues. This time was much more streamlined thanks to your input.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Alaris:
Do I need to do anything different if I have twrp installed with stock Rom?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DG4FREE:
Stock rooted ROM or stock non rooted or stock Android (GPE or other ROM)?

Essentially follow the directions above, especially making sure you boot into TWRP recovery prior to flashing to the developer recovery since you already have it installed and go through the option to restore the developer edition nandroid backup. If it gives you the option to restore now, you should be fine to continue with the steps above. In short:

Reboot to bootloader.

Change your CID to BS_US002

Flash the developer recovery from the link above.

**Boot** into TWRP recovery (with the developer recovery still being the "installed recovery" using:

fastboot boot /location of recovery/recovery.img

TWRP should now open as if it was installed and allow you to restore from the developer edition nandroid even though you technically still have the developer edition recovery installed.

Once it restores you can reboot the phone and you should be good to go. Upon connecting to WiFi I was prompted to update to the latest OTA and everything has been working all day.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Alaris:
Thanks debating on stay with att stock or this for faster updates.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DG4FREE:
Its been great for me so far. I was on GPE and the little hardware issues (M8 is just better with Sense) made me come back. I've rocked the Maximus HD 4.0 ROM over in the open M8 forum and it has full AT&T support but thought I'd try this out. Sometimes I think the custom Roms put to much extras packed in although Maximus is decently light.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Dumb question ?

What would be the main benefits to changing to lets say from the at&t m8 to a dev edition, other than faster updates ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Alaris:
Thanks everyone had a couple of speed bumps but I got through it. Just out of curiousity would there be any difference between the Dev Ruu and doing this?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DG4FREE:
Wasn't aware of a Dev RUU being posted (at least an official one) but from what I understand it'd be the same thing.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

No AT&T branding/bloat. I know there's Roms out there that are debloated but you'd still be required to manually flash updates and or use the built in OTA of that ROM if it has such a feature. This in a way gives you the best of both.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Alaris:
Anyone notice the red writing during setup that said something along the lines of this being a test device and HTC will collect info like location etc.? Is this something that I should be worried about?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Assuming you're comparing "stock" to "stock": No carrierIQ, faster updates, no AT&T bloatware. (However, you lose Isis and the visual voice mail integration.)

I never noticed that. My understanding is that the warning comes up if you're using a recovery or kernel that doesn't match the rest of the firmware. If you follow the instructions I posted, you should end up with a completely stock recovery + kernel, so won't see that red warning.

Oh, and if you DO see the warning, it's completely harmless.

Take care

Do my a favor go to settings>about and there should be one that says tell HTC click it and scroll to the bottom. Do you see any red writing that says HTC will collect data? Because i did exactly what you did and I have that writing that says the will collect data and i cant opt out of it. It doesn't sound like me and you have anything that we did differently unless you didn't notice yours during the initial setup.

I don't have anything like "tell HTC". I did go through everything in settings->about, but nothing like what you described.

What is the difference between the method mentioned above and just flashing the google play edition RUU? It would seem that that flashing the RUU would be much simpler (which is what I did and things went smoothly on my ATT model).

OR... am I missing something?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
First, please don't quote large posts. Have some courtesy for people reading on mobile devices and trim down your quotes.

Second, my instructions are for installing the sense dev edition... And NOT for installing GPE (which is what your link points to.)

As far as I'm aware, there is no RUU for the dev edition device.

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DG4FREE:
Ok so that RUU is so you can convert your AT&T (or other devices) to the Google Play Edition **GPE** (stock Android) version that you would otherwise have to buy via the Play Store.

This post here is talking about the "Developer Edition Sense Rom" that is essentially a debloated version of what initially came on your phone out of the box.

The OTAs we are talking about are for the Sense Rom whereas updates via OTA on the Google Play Edition Rom would be a combined effort from Google and HTC since it's stock Android. Unless there is some bug fixes specific to the M8, the Google Play Edition won't receive an OTA until Google pushes out Android 4.4.3, which it still hasn't even sent to Nexus devices.

Hope that clears things up.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] androidbuff123:
Yes, that does clear it up. I don't know why but I kept thinking the Developer Edition is a pure Android version. Silly me.

Thank you very much.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I actually attempted to post my 2-part response in 2 different posts.. but somehow they got combined into one. Yes, I'm aware not to have too long of a quote. Thank you.

Honestly I went back to att ruu because the update was pretty fast and I like the visual voicemail feature that is not on dev edition.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
So you would get ota updates including firmware from htc, yeah I guess that would be a good thing.

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Does the dev edition have the htc bloat removed or just the at&t stuff ? I would like to get rid of much as possible as much htc crap as possible, as much google apps as possible, but still interested in sense camera software also I like to hold back button to kill the current app, to remove the battery icon to just show the battery percentage in numbers only with no icon, also I like the sense dialer,also like to be able to hold down the home button to bring up the menu at any time.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Android The Greek:
Disable the apps or root to remove
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
That is what you do on the at&t model as I"am htcdev rooted and firewater s-off, so it has the crap to remove also. I figured dev edition would have the crap already removed.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Android The Greek:
The dev edition has apps you'd want to remove as well. Just root and use root explorer or titanium
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I"am talking about system apps, such as the reason for example why the gpe roms make your phone run a lot faster than even debloated roms such as viperone. I would like as much crap removed as possible such as as much htc crap gone as possible but still have sense camera and the options to make the back button kill the current app,to remove the battery icon, and to just show the battery percentage in numbers only with no battery icon around the numbers, also I like the sense dialer, another feature would be to be able to hold down the home button to bring up the menu at any time.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kgbkny:
I went through the entire process and everything worked like a charm, up until flashing of the actual nandroid backup. I kept getting the "no partitions selected to restore" message. I decided to reboot the phone and was greeted with a bone stock AT&T ROM, since I wiped all the data and did a factory reset. Can someone help me out?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
Everything worked fine up until this point. After I flashed the stock recovery, how do I boot into the TWRP recovery that is no longer installed? I tried using this code and my command window says "downloading 'boot.img' and seems to work but then the device just reboots normally. Any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
When I tried flashing TWRP and restoring from it, I got the same message as well. Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Did you actually select (check) any partitions to restore? Boot, system and data are typically checked.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
The problem is that there were no boxes to check.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
Figured out that problem. There is a second folder in the original backup folder with the same name. You need to take it out and use that internal folder to backup from.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Please don't PM me with the same questions. Posting your questions publically allows many people to answer your questions, AND for many people to benefit from any answers (assuming they bother to search.)

Reading your posts, I'm really not sure which problem you are having. Either you aren't able to boot TWRP, or you CAN boot TWRP and your getting a message saying "no partitions selected to restore", or that there were no partitions available in your backup.

Here's my suggestion: start over. I'm not being sarcastic. Completely re-download any images. Make sure you get the right ones. If you have a bad recovery.img, "fastboot boot" won't work properly. If you have a bad nandroid backup, TWRP can't restore it. It's also possible that you are downloading a CWM nandroid and trying to restore it with TWRP (which also won't work.)

If you are using bad drivers or a bad fastboot image, I have no idea what might go wrong.

I'm also getting the impression that you might not be posting everything that you've done. Is there anything you're leaving out?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] NextNexus:
Sorry about the PM. I was able to get everything to work except when I do the restore it fails on the system restore part and can't figure out why. Tried 3 times.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
You should see this from my point of view. Something is broken when trying to restore. You might be getting an error message. Maybe you're not. I'm not even sure WHAT you are trying to restore. For all I know, you're trying to restore a galaxy S5 image? No idea. DETAILS!

hi guys, if i convert my att m8 to Developer Edition, will I have updates direct from HTC?

Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
If the device appears as an unmodified DEV edition device, then you should get all OTA updates directly from HTC as if you had originally purchased an HTC Dev Edition device.

(I can't give an unqualified "yes" answer, as some people will do the conversion, root the device, change the CID, change the recovery partition, install a custom firmware, and then complain that they aren't getting HTC OTA updates...)

Finally snagged it, desktop IE11 wouldn't do it, but Modern IE would, how strange.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
That's interesting. The OTA update, before changing any files, will cycle through every file that has a patch (and a few others) and validate that they are original and unmodified. You're hitting an error that indicates /system/priv-app/Facebook.apk is failing that validation.

The most common cause for this is when a user has modified their system (such as deleting apps that they don't want - and facebook is very commonly deleted.) When you "tried that twice", did you completely re-download the nandroid? It shouldn't be needed (and the nandroid should generate an error if a file within is corrupted), but sometimes strange things happen.

I hate to leave you hanging with an unresolved issue.... I (and many others) have done this successfully, so it _should_ work...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 7ftnick:
Weird things happening to my devices lately. First the M7 and now the M8.

I have converted them both to developer edition. First the M7. It had android 4.4.1 and when I went to check for updates it said "Your phone is up to date"

I had to manually search for the OTA packages and flash them.

I have flashed them until 4.4.2. Sometime after a 4.4.3 package appeared and I got the automatic OTA which updated my M7 to 4.4.3.

Now about the M8. I have converted it, and it is at 4.4.2. And the update section sais "your phone is up to date"

Anyone else having this problem with the phone not being able to see OTA updates ???

Recovery Confusion

I understand every portion of this step by step procedure except the recovery part. I understand you need to flash the stock dev recovery, but am confused regarding how to boot into the custom recovery after the stock recovery is flashed. Could you please give more detail. I don't want to wind up with a paper weight.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gtg465x:
You can't boot into a custom recovery after you flash a stock recovery. You would have to flash a custom recovery again and then boot to it. Flashing recoveries is very fast and easy though once you get the hang of it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Broodn:
The easy way to do it is flash the nandroid of the stock ROM like you woild do if your restoring from a nandroid back up. Then go back into fastboot mode then flash the stock recovery. Either way works fine
