Slight confusion

Somehow I'm on android 4.4.4, but the firmware I'm running says 4.4.2? here's the error when i try and flash the ota manually in stock recovrey.

View attachment 3051075

any suggestions? tried updating firmware from different builds but same error appears!
[One (M8) General] QuintusDK:
I had that same issue. I updated my recovery. Apparently I used the one from April.
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Why don't u just RUU..
[One (M8) General] muzia22:
Issue sorted!!! Was using an older recovery image. got the most recent one from the zip file of RUU
[One (M8) General] mozza54:
Will I need S-Off and my bootloader unlocked to update the Stock Image manually? I gave it a try and Im getting 'Check CID failed' when trying it through recovery?
[One (M8) General] grentuu:
Well that just screwed my phone. Installed in order as per instructions, rebooted and it sat for thirty minutes with lollipop animation.

Rebooted into recovery, wipe cache etc, no difference.

Having to perform a system restore.

[One (M8) General] tominozh:
Strange, works for me, even the new mod pack.
[One (M8) General] aznblade:
Is there other pre-requisite aside of the CID/MID to match GPE? Still not getting the OTA update...
[One (M8) General] tominozh:
The OTA probably didnt reach your region yet. Just flush it manualy if you want it so bad.[emoji3]
[One (M8) General] danger12345:
GPE is for one region only and that's the USA
[One (M8) General] otariq:
Has anyone made a flashable zip for the ROM yet? I don't want to do the ruu because it's a hassle to get back to sense.
[One (M8) General] mozza54:
Just got the OTA (Im in the UK) Didnt need to change my Mid but my CID was GOOGL001. Not sure if its relevant or just really good timing but I unlocked the bootloader which reset the handset and when it powered up I got the update notification. My handset was on 4.4.4 with S-On and No root.

Just convert your htc one m8 to GPe android Lolipop but you need S-off i did and it super L runing stock rooted
[One (M8) General] bit1:
Just did the conversion and loving material design. For those on the fence, everything works perfectly. One thing I've noticed is I don't see Boomsound in the Settings. Is that topical for GPE? Sounds fine just use to seeing the small icon. HTC weather and motion launch are both there
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:
Boomsound is a toggle located within the sound settings, it is forced on unless you plug headphones in.
[One (M8) General] Captain_Throwback:
It's there (under Sounds).
[One (M8) General] bit1:
Thanks. Feel like an idiot. I don't see the little boomsound icon up top and it's not green so I must have just missed it. Thanks and sorry
[One (M8) General] :
For those stil with no luck with OTA:

1. Use GPE RUU from version 4.4.3

2. Update via OTA to 4.4.4 (this will give you 100% stock gpe recovery)

3. Again update via OTA to 5.0.1.

or use RUU 5.0.1 (rooted/not rooted) from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
[One (M8) General] psyonicus:
Hey guys.

I'm curious if anyone south of the US (Latin America) has gotten the OTA yet.

Does anyone know how to Disable Encryption on our M8 lollipops?
[One (M8) General] seadersn:
regarding menu entry is in security options, do you mean that?
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:
Encryption should not be enabled by default, you can verify this under Settings > Security.
[One (M8) General] -juanito-:
It's enabled by default on lollipop
[One (M8) General] seadersn:
nope, it isn't, at least it wasn't for me on my device, gpe freshly updated to 5.0.1 via ota = no encryption enabled.

maybe this is not the case when a ruu is flashed.
[One (M8) General] sphyyr:
I believe it is enabled by default on the Nexus 6, not necessarily Lollipop. I may be wrong and a RUU flash will have it enabled, but my clean flash of the ota zip has it disabled.
[One (M8) General] -juanito-:
Is there anyone noticed that there is a delay when pressing recent apps button ?
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
It is enabled by default if the phone isn't upgrading to Lollipop. If you were on 4.4 before, it won't use Encryption by default. If you wiped on installation of Lollipop, it will be enabled.

[One (M8) General] HabueN:
I read a little in this thread, but could not find the answer, so this is about encryption on android l. I installed the rom as a ota from 4.4.4, and did a factory reset in stock recovery right afterwards. Is my data partition encrypted by default?

When i go to the settings -> security i still have the option to encrypt data on my phone. Is there a way to find out if it is encrypted or not?

Thanks

Lollipop is amazing, but the Multitasking Switcher bug is really annoying :(
[One (M8) General] tschakk:
Has anybody else noticed changes in the lockscreen behavior at bootup when encryption is enabled?

I have set a PIN code to lock my phone. When I boot my phone I have to enter the PIN code before the bootup has finished. When the phone finished booting, I am directly on the launcher screen and can access my phone without entering the PIN code again.. In Android 4.4.4 and before, I always had to enter first the encryption PIN and after the bootup finished I had to unlock my phone with the PIN code..

This might be a feature, so the user must not enter his pin code twice? But its somehow confusing...
[One (M8) General] aznblade:
finally got the ota for 5.0.1 after reflashing to 4.4.3 for like a billionth time. weird how that worked :S

I gave up and flashed the rooted RUU via hboot. Works great although I did lose my APN settings and had no data till I rest them.

OTA rolls out in stages, not all at once.

You probably could have just waited and got it at a similar time.

Not to blow the wind out of anyone's sails, but it was good, then got terrible.

tried searching Google for a while but haven't found anything. I have noticed that a nice battery percentage is shown on the right side of the battery icon when on the lockscreen while charging the phone. Is there any way to force this icon to be on the whole time?

I am not satisfied whit the small dark numbers inside the battery icon as a percentage shower you get using this command:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:1

plus i dont want a app icon on my statusbar.

[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Ok so I finally downloaded the OTA for the lollipop and updated my device to lollipop. Battery doesn't look very good though. On Sense 4.4.4 after I charged it to 100% I can use my phone for about 10mins before it loses 1%, with little to no use it can take 1hour + before it drops 1% however with Lollipop it drains like crazy. I charged the phone fully before I applied the update, after update it was 98%, I used the phone for not even 10mins to check what Lollipop is like and the battery already drained down to 92%. That's about 8% in roughly 20mins(If we're generous). Since I converted to GPE I haven't made any changes, I didn't even restore my contact list on the device. After I updated to 5 the only thing I changed was to download ES File Explorer...

This battery saving thing that they hyped up so much during the Google I/O is it even in this update? If it was, is it disabled by default, if so, how do I enable? The battery life on Stock Android(GPE) is by far the worst yet!
[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
With that math you cold use it between 16 and 17 hours straight before it dies or for four days and four hours for little to no use.

Charge it fully and let it go through a couple battery cycles before you judge.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Yes with below average(I suppose... 4 or so hours on screen time) on HTC Sense it can go 5 days before having to charge it again. With very heavy use I can get almost 7hours of on screen time with a total of max 17hours since last charge(Very heavy use, including constant video streaming). So on Sense it's a great battery and more than suitable for my minor needs. On GPE conversion however, it's definitely not a good start so far.

I'll let it cycle though, like you suggested, let it drain down to about 2% or so and then recharge it again. Hopefully it'll get better but so far, honestly, I'm not very impressed :( 24% an hour is not good at all, the only time I saw worst than that was with my Samsung...

It's on charge now though, we'll see what happens. :good:
[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
Proof?
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Well it's going to be difficult to prove it since I don't have my screenshots anymore after doing the conversion. But I did post some screenshots in the battery thread before that had some high SoT attached to it. Including one that had a SoT of 10hours 34mins with 22% battery life remaining. Of course someone suggested that greenify interfered with it etc etc even then like I explained to him then. With that screenshot I knew I had a minimum of 8hours SoT with 22% remaining for this simple fact:

I watched code geass for 7.5hours straight while I was at work. Yeah...it was a night shift and nothing goes on during night shift, not the point though. So even with a minimum of 7.5hours(from 21:30 to 05:00)

That's the best "proof" I can do for now. Even so, to be honest I don't get a lot of 8hour+ SoT anymore. I charge phone when I get back home after work(N/Shift's) and let it charge to about 10 or 11AM, unplug it go to bed, get up at 7PM, 8:30 I'm off to work again, from about 9:30 when all the basics are finished I can watch some vids to stop my boredom and I watch that until 5AM even then at times I can only watch to about 4AM before my battery life is below 5%, other times I can still get close to 8 but I haven't had an 8Hour SoT in a long time, mostly get 6.5 to 7.5(7Hours average) over a 17hour since last unplugged cycle.

Here are some of the posts. You'll also notice that there are times when It doesn't show correct times because I either restarted phone or I plugged phone into PC for one or other reason.

Are they holding back on the International, Unlocked and Developer Editions to have it roll out with carriers? I hope not... Else I can't see how the carriers can progress so fast but those that receive directly from HTC itself is still stuck in phase 1.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
They probably didn't put the right stage on the website, dev/unlocked has to be the first one they finish, then add carrier bloat to that.

They said on twitter they are on track to have the carrier updates by the 90 day mark, we are at day 35-40 now I think, we should see the dev/unlocked OTA end of December I would think, early January at the latest.

37% more battery life seen on the N5 while browsing over WiFi. That's always a plus.

The Cards task manager is great.

Material Design UI is great. Big, big change. Although the UI isn't consistent everywhere, many apps are yet to be updated for it.

Lens focus distance

Flash trigger

Color correction matrix

As you see in this thread you have a chap posting images of the Android L on a Nexus 7 when this is a Sony Xperia Z1 section forums.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
I was trying to get rid of my "custom" status so I could take 4.4.2 OTA (I'm on 4.3). I had removed supersu and busybox and viper (the only things I had done with root anyway) and it wasn't going away. In hindsight, I think it was the build.prop changes for viper. In any case, I got the brilliant idea that the xbin directory itself, even though it was empty, was the issue and I deleted it. Now towelroot says it worked, but I'm thinking with no xbin directory it just silently fails. Obviously, without root, I can't put the xbin directory back.

Am I totally screwed or is there a way to fix this without wiping my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
So I ran the verizon upgrade assistant...

It pushed 4.4.2 to my phone.

Then it said the data partition was corrupt and needed to be reset to factory.

But instead I restarted the phone.

And it finished the upgrade. And the xbin directory is back. And, after initially still showing the status as custom, it now says "official".

And then towelroot didn't seem to work... So I installed supersu and it failed, but then after a reboot I had full root access again.

For the record, that left daemonsu, dexdump, su, sugote, sugote-mksh, and vril-dump in my xbin directory. Stock (right after the upgrade) had dexdump and vril-dump only in xbin.
