Ota worked for me with root and supersu app installed. I had to reroot after ota install though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
You were lucky :) I forgot about root on mine and I wasnt able to boot after OTA, sometimes it works sometimes not.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Yes. If you try the unlock command in fastboot and get an error, then you will need the unlock.bin file originally sent by HTCDev.

Did RUU and updated to 443. I just need to go through the formalities again and I should be good. Probably gonna keep H/K off because I honesty didn't notice a difference between the app and boom sound. Thank you everyone who were patient enough to walk me though the process.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
You're welcome glad to have got you all back up and running! :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
Also comes with file manager
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] fclifton:
I see that it is being said that the bootloader has to be locked to use the RUU. When you folks were helping me get the RUU to run, I never re-locked my bootloader, and the RUU worked. I had switched to s-off and set SuperCID, did that make a difference?

Off topic: Is it possible to change the owner of a file on external SD so a different or another app can modify it? I have my camera pics on external SD and my photo editing app can't change or delete pics and I would like for it to be able to. (The Gallery app can, but the QuickPic app cannot)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
When you are soff you don't have to lock the bootloader it doesn't affect anything

As for the sd card download a kit kat sd card fix app and it will all access to all if you have superuser.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] NYLUVBUG:
I need to see if I can unlock my bootloader via adb
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AirTec:
Is there a way to ota on my stock unrooted t mobile m8 without WiFi.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
Are you wanting to download the OTA by Mobile Data connection?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AirTec:
Yes that is correct, I only have mobile connection atm
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
Okay :) Yeah you can download via mobile data just make sure under Settings>About>Software Updates - that you have the Update over WiFi only unticked.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AirTec:
Lol thanks I should of known that ?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
You're welcome! :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AirTec:
Well it was worth a try , it says update must be over WiFi or data cable even with WiFi updates only unchecked. Seems that on my hoxl I was able to download and update it manually somehow not using fastboot
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
If you want to download the OTA from here click here you can apply the ota from stock recovery by pressing the power and volume up keys when you hit the screen with just a phone then apply from internal/sd storage.

Im guessing since the update is 500+ mb its automatically making wifi required.

Another OTA 2.22.531.6
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tublah:
Changelog here
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sgndroid1:
Just got my phone a few days ago, used from ebay. It still on 4.4.2, s-on. I did the htcdev unlock, rooted the phone and installed twrp. Is now asking me for an OTA. Is it worth the update? Are you guys getting at least the same amount of battery? Every time I did updates with other phones, it always hurt battery life bad.

I noticed I'm missing the calculator app and maybe something else, which I think is required to make the OTA work. I guess I should do the RUU stuff.

Just to make sure, I have to unroot and install stock recovery first for the OTA install, right?

Any other suggestions?

Man, never imagined doing an update for HTC phones was gonna be to complex. Thanks in advance folks.

How would I go about updating once released if I'm rooted?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tublah:
I wonder if this update will enable VoLTE?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] tkoreaper:
Safest thing would be to wait for someone to work their magic and post some firmware. Then you can flash the ROM of your choice, providing it supports the new firmware.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] otariq:
You could just run the ruu. It'll replace custom recovery with stock so ota can be accepted. Or use the stock backups in twrp and restore the stock ROM. Don't root when rebooting in twrp. Then flash stock recovery to get ota.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jaggrey:
I"m wondering the same thing... guess we'll find out once it drops.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] epsix:
I doubt it, T-Mobile just released Sony Z1s KK 4.4.4 yesterday. I thought it might enable voLTE but it didn't. I think we will never see it. Have to purchase new phone.

That's a rather optimistic outlook for a tmobile Sony phone, but I suppose time will tell. It would be my luck that my z1s got 4.4.4 a couple weeks after getting my m8, though, lol. Still love the m8 more, sense is far smoother.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
Nothing yet
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] technogeek82:
From what I understand, and I could be wrong, but our 4.4.3 update will be our 4.4.4 update. From what I have read HTC is going to take the Security patches from 4.4.4 and give it to us in 4.4.3. By the end of August we should all have our 4.4.3 update. Personally I like any update, but I am waiting with Baited breathe for Android L which should hit our devices some time in the first quarter of next year would be my guess.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
Yup exactly HTC said they were only doing the 4.4.3 update +4.4.4 security patch, so that they could focus their full attention on Android "L"

Also the 4.4.3 update is due for release today according to [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tachi91:
So how long after the OTA starts rolling out does the RUU typically get posted on HTC support page.

Based on past history? I'd rather flash using it straight from their server then OTA.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] stevessvt:
Well, the day is half over. Nothing yet. I'll be surprised if it drops today.

I hate Sprint with a passion, but you have to admit, they are on the ball when it comes to updates like this.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Phistachio:
So it means that on the 18th, all M8s with a TMO CID will get an update? My phone was imported from Poland and has T-MOB009 as the CID.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tachi91:
Yes and no. If the update starts rolling out on the 18th. It's common for the OTA to be released based in the area so if any problems come up they can pull the update and only have to deal with a handful of phones with in that area.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jmwils3:
I would think you'd have to ask your carrier about that. The update mentioned here is for T-Mobile US customers, a separate company under the same parent company as your carrier in Poland.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Phistachio:
I'm actually in Portugal, but the phone has a Polish T-Mobile CID even though I bought it off a Spanish e-store... Do I have to wait long for the update to hit me?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jmwils3:
No way of really knowing that, unfortunately. :/ each carrier seems to set its own schedule as to when a particular update might be released. I had the z1s before my One M8, and it didn't get a single update till after I had upgraded to this, 5 months later.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] sapplegater:
If I'm getting what your saying correctly is you are wanting to update your firmware to the new release or are you wanting to go back to complete stock? If you want to go back to stock and flash the OTA the most efficient method is going to be to RUU back to T-Mobile's 4.4.2 release and then update from there.

These are made from the 1.57.531.7 base RUU with the OTA firmware injected, so this is 100% identical to how the HTC full RUU 2.22.531.5 would be packed, except it has no /system in it (its only firmware!) and it would not run on S-ON phones.
