Once someone pulls the OTA zip, I'm going to flash it in TWRP (after making some necessary modifications to the zip). Then I can build my port for Sprint :).

So whenever the first person uploads it, make sure you use a good mirror. Or send it to me first, and I can upload it to BasketBuild for any devs that might want/need it ;).

Right now running GPE system with ElementalX GPE kernel for MultiROM support and my latest MultiROM TWRP. Ready to roll!
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I'm hoping that if it's a staged deployment, that someone in the first batch will be able to share it.
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Someone tweet Mo!!!!
[One (M8) General] danger12345:
by watching Mo i bet he will announce tonight
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
Is it possible to simply install the update zip from stock GPE recovery ?
[One (M8) General] nuts77:
Hi everyone,

Running the rooted version of the RUU, can I unroot to make sure the OTA will run fine or is it pointless?

Thanks for your help!
[One (M8) General] manup456:
I am on stock 4.4.4 un-rooted and started from 4.4.3 un-rooted and took the 4.4.4 ota and waiting for 5.0 like everyone else.
[One (M8) General] OriginalAuratic:
did the g3 already get its update? i thought we were on track to get it before then?

this update got me like..
[One (M8) General] pfriederichs:
Just RUU to 4.4.3 and make sure it takes the 4.4.4 update. I would highly suggest doing this in light of all the Motox issues.
[One (M8) General] esiemi:
what is the MID for a gpe phone? mine is 0P6B10000
[One (M8) General] 557953:
I think its 0P6B12000, thats what i have and i just took the 4.4.4 update ready for 5.0
[One (M8) General] jureca:
I wear this 0P6B17000 ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
[One (M8) General] BR7fan:
I thought the official google mid was 0P6B17000
[One (M8) General] cadialex:
I confirm it is ^^
[One (M8) General] jrodsep:
0P6B17000 is the correct one. I can assure you that it is very easy to change. Did it this afternoon and it took less than 30 minutes to go from 12000 MID unrooted 4.4.4 to oficial GPE MID unrooted 4.4.4
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Just watch, the next tweet from moversi will be "Here it is, the long awaited timeline for GPE. M8 Mid-December, M7 early January".

I'm re-reading his tweets and people asked when the timeline will be, not when the update will be.
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
That would suck
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Yeah either his reply WAS the timeline or he was giving a timeline for the timeline. Head just exploded. Pretty open to interpretation isnt it...
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I know at least a couple of websites took it as the OTA is coming early this week so I hope they (and I) are wrong, but the questions he answered did ask about the timeline for the update, not the update.

I mean if the OTA was coming, maybe it would have been an actual tweet (not a reply) saying GPE OTA coming early next week, not a vague reply.

In any case, at least we have a couple ROMS to play with for now.
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
But the same can go for a timeline tweet. Werent they also just replies?

Guess we just cross our fingers it drop tonight or tomorrow. I just want a smother lag free version. Even with kernel tweaks and the lag fix zip i still catch some rough patches of lag.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Me too, much better with the fix but still getting some lag spikes here and there which I had enough of in WoW raids :)
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
5:30 google time, I guess no OTA today. Hopefully tomorrow because Wednesday would be mid week, not early week.
[One (M8) General] manup456:
I don't know about that he said the timeline would come early week, and that last post for a timeline he made was on a Thursday - Friday so I think his early week is different than ours. I don't want to burst bubbles because I'm un-rooted waiting on ota, but I see us waiting for either Wednesday or Thursday for ota.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I'm still not sure if we will get a timeline this week or an OTA but I'm hoping for the update.
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
Me too!!!
[One (M8) General] LeteciTanjir:
Hey guys,

I need some advice from you guys who are more experienced with rooting. So I recently rooted my M8, I have custom recovery (TWRP) and S-Off, as well as changed my CID to I believe all 1's. Now Lollipop is due to come out soon, and I would like to update to Lollipop (whether it is stock or sense). I am wondering what you guys think the best avenue to do so would be. Would I need to S-On or something before updating? Get rid of custom recovery? I've only rooted my phone twice, so I am not really experienced and I would really prefer not to brick it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I should also mention I am in Canada and this is a Rogers M8.
[One (M8) General] biggem001:
IMO, it's hassle to flash back to stock (recovery and all) to get a silly OTA (GPE or Sense). If you already have CWM or TWRP, keep it on and wait till about 5 minutes after release for the install package and go that route. There will most likely be a firmware update too, so follow the guides. If you need help, let me know. I was just on AT&T Sense with S-OFF, flashed the custom L rom in the dev section along with the firmware. All went beautifully.
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
Lollipop is near to come on the Google Play edition of the M8 (pure stock Android). You probably wont see the Sense version of Lollipop come out until next month or the month after (HTC has a deadline of 90 days after getting the Android code). If you are updating from OTAs, it won't matter if you are S-On or S-Off. You should only go back to S-On if you want to return the phone for warranty purposes. Unlike previous OTAs, rumor has it that Lollipop OTAs will not install correctly with root. It's a rumor so take it with a grain of salt. However, you will need Stock recovery instead of TWRP if you would like to get OTA updates installed.
[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
How do you take a screenshot on Android L??
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Same as you did on 4.4.4, power + vol down for about 1-2 seconds.
[One (M8) General] manup456:
The same as always vol down + power button unless they switched to vol down + home button, but I thinks it's the same.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Good morning anxious people (me included!)

So, are we going to see OTA rollouts starting today? I hope so!
[One (M8) General] manup456:
If we don't see anything by 6pm est I think Wednesday or Thursday.

I wish it would just release, but was also thinking nexus devices have been having lag and Wi-Fi complaints not sure about moto x, but they could be just killing these bugs before release and that's what's holding it up.
[One (M8) General] Paradelle:
Everytime I click 'Check Now' I'm told 'your system is up to date.'

I disagree with this statement!
[One (M8) General] rquinn19:
Thanks I found it eventually. Don't remember having to hold it down for so long.
[One (M8) General] beanbean50:
yep, agreed, they must still be doing some last minute bug squashing, i'm sure they wouldn't hold back if it's good to go..

just wondering what's the time in Googleland (it's tuesday noon here in dear old blighty)
[One (M8) General] manup456:
4:22 am which is super early.
[One (M8) General] danger12345:
Wednesday for update lol
[One (M8) General] manup456:
I was reading now the xperia z family has lollipop before GPE wth.... HTC does GPE mean grow patients edition? This is bogus.
[One (M8) General] abhishek0704:
well thats just aosp code released by sony....not daily driver roms :cool:
[One (M8) General] johio360:
I unrooted and went back to 4.4.3 and updated to 4.4.4 just waiting to update to 5.0 then I'll reinstall twrp and root after that xposed only until someone releases a really nice and stable lollipop ROM then I'll flash
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Hopefully today
[One (M8) General] scifan:
Hopefully it will drop today, and not be delayed by the various bug's that have been discovered.

I wouldn't expect any last second bug fixes before a roll out. If there's an issue that they're going to take the time to fix, they'll want time to test for other possible reversions... (which would mean delays of days, weeks, possibly a month or longer.) I would hope that they don't apply bug fixes and just roll it out to the masses without thorough testing... missing a bug here and there happens... *shrug*

I expect that if it's going to roll out within this week, it will roll out with current bugs. And they'll probably roll out an update within a couple of weeks to a month there after.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I think we'll get an update today or tomorrow, and we will see 5.0.1 or 5.1 soon for the WiFi/Battery glitches that are out there.

Technically though, we can't say that every bug on the nexus will apply to the HTC phones.

Heck I don't care is there is a battery drain problem, I'd rather have L this week and charge my phone more :)
[One (M8) General] scifan:
I agree.

There was a pretty good discussion going on in the SD thread concerning the IO utilization when launching applications - I'm unsure if that's meaningful... but it's interesting.

There seems to be Wi-Fi issues on several platforms - Nexus 5, Nexus 7... and it's been seen on the "leak" for the M8 but seems dependent upon the firmware that's being ran with it. Lag appears to be an issue - but to be honest, that's something that will likely get ironed out...

As I said in another thread, I half wonder if they leverage XDA as a testing pool... (people on here discover stuff I'd never think to check... and in a much shorter time frame...)
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Ive said it before myself as well. Are we beta testers? If i was htc id leak a build to xda and let people run it to get feedback. More people void warranties, less devices they are obligated to fix, valuable feedback. Its a win win situation.
[One (M8) General] luxandroid:
If phone is back to stock 100% they cant know did you or not modified you device at some point ,I belive...
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
It would make sense, free beta testers, I wouldn't say no!
[One (M8) General] theikhaled:
knoum the

Here it is Tuesday 7 pm

Still nothing new! I'm kinda afraid that MO has tweeted a false information about the release date but still we should wait more.
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Im thinking you are overseas. I heard someone saying usa pacific time. Its 8am tuesday morning there right now.
[One (M8) General] 557953:
looks like he got it wrong but there is still time, is still Tuesday morning in West Coast USA so in that sense we are still early week for sure. 24 hours from now and i'll consider him wrong lol.

Am still wondering as other speculated earlier was his tweet regarding the update or the schedule for the update, far as I know we haven't actually received either, which leads me to believe they would have said something already if they were just gonna give a time line and say it will rollout next week ect.

Still clicking the update check button and still getting nothing I need a holiday for a week to forget about it then when I come back hopefully, hopefully it would be waiting for me.....
[One (M8) General] theikhaled:
Yes you are right :)

I was kinda hope to get it early because of the time but totally forgot that may come to U.S and canada first
[One (M8) General] scifan:
They have a swarm of willing beta testers here who will rather rapidly give them feedback if something's "broken"... and most all will work for free and honestly, some guys will respond with bugs I wouldn't have thought to check as I never use the functionality they appear to live and die by...
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Id assume we would all get it the same time, but the person who hits the "launch ota" button may be sitting in USA west coast. I picture it as a guy sitting there sweating waiting for the order to hit the button. Then it takes two keys turned at the same time to open the cover of the launch ota button. Then the button gets hit with anger.

I got a bit carried away.
[One (M8) General] Winston1989:
Guys, to change the mid, do i have to have root or custom recovery? Or can I just type the comands in fastbiot to change it? I have s-off, and gpe cid.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I'm picturing a list of devices (names and MIDs) with a selector box that offers the option to

- Global Deploy

- Phased deploy

- Beta deploy

- Do not deploy

and then the apply changes button.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

CID is fastboot, MID you have to be rooted and it's done via ADB SHELL
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
The waiting game sucks
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
You sir have no imagination.
[One (M8) General] gogokiller:
I love Android L since the material design was intimated and was installing every APK that came with it. I really like the new notification center, does someone know how the quick-Setting Icons are added? I used invert Colors once to see what it changes and now ist in my quick-Settings where I dont want it. I hope the battery live improves now after changing the CPU clock Speed. On default the Minimum clock was on about 1.7 GHz and was sucking the battery pretty good :)
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Well, when I deploy a new VPN client to the users, that's what my screen looks like. I hit the deploy button, hit apply, then I turn my phone off and run in case problem happen
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
It's coming up to 9am in California!

I picture it's a guy who is just getting to his office thinking I've not had nearly enough of coffee for this day. Waiting for the files to finish uploading on the servers.
[One (M8) General] beanbean50:
I somehow picture a bunch of mad scientists in an old castle in googleland standing around a big red ota button not sure whether to hit it or not, then, like in frankenstein a bolt of lightning strikes the button and the lollipop monster is born ..!

(not sure why I picture it like that though)
[One (M8) General] blackice666:
I dont know why but i picture a guy like this:

With the same shirt, and also with a beard (only because its no shave November).
[One (M8) General] jureca:
Some I proved to SuperCID if OTA?
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
I have no idea what your asking.
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Me either my good sir, but thy imagination doth have me entertained.
[One (M8) General] jureca:
If, SuperCID this OTA?
[One (M8) General] 557953:
If he can still get the ota with supercid i think,

Just change it to google play cid to be safe, but i dont know if you need to.
[One (M8) General] jureca:
Ok thanks.
[One (M8) General] Winston1989:
And if i cant update due to mid, can i change the mid in the android-info.txt in the update zip and flash it via stock recovery?
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
No because the zip will fail verification because a file was modified.
[One (M8) General] Winston1989:
Sp the only way to do it is for me to root, change mid, flash back stock unrooted ruu and than update. Am i correct? Thanks
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
Or just RUU to Google Play, it changes you mid automagically
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Yeah... no it doesn't

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Everyone hit the live chat and ask about when the OTA will come

http://www.htc.com/us/contact/chat/
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
All there going to say is that it will come soon. I mean just look at the HTCs twitter, all they say is no date but soon.

The front line people don't get told any more information. I don't like wasting their time for no reason. What we say will never make it past them unless we flood enough to actually stop the system.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Even if they did know something, one screenshot of that leaks and they lose their job
[One (M8) General] PhoenixPath:
Please don't, guys. The last thing we want is for HTC to think all the Android users are complete jerks. Have some patience. They will deliver when they deliver...no need to go pissing them off.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I was joking ...
[One (M8) General] PhoenixPath:
Don't know you, didn't see a "j/k" - really didn't want anyone flooding HTC chat and giving them a bad impression.

My mistake, your fault. ;) (joking, no harm done)
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I should have added a wink or something to be clear.
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:

[One (M8) General] h0l:
7.43pm in Germany, I guess I won't get an update today...
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
What gets to me the most is do I stay on an L ROM until someone shares it, or do I switch to stock so that I can be one of the first and share it...
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
stock is the best
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I don't know about it being the best, but I do like knowing I might get that OTA notification when I don't expect it.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
I find it hard to decide as well. First world problem I guess! [emoji1]
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
I feel ya, I'm downloading the RUU now not sure when imma flash it though. I like SkyDragon, I just cannot for the life of me use Chrome with it.
[One (M8) General] benj!:
Which ROM are you using? Only reason I ask is that I boasted to a mate with a Nexus 5 that I had Lollipop when I installed Skydragon last week and seeing him tomorrow, having reinstalled GPE Kitkat since. I may have to reinstall if it hasn't landed by tomorrow afternoon as I obviously want to rub his face in it as he hasn't even had the OTA yet on his Nexus :P
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
Sinless works best for me, it's very smooth
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
I like Sinless, but I love plain Jane Android so much, I have stuck it out on SkyDragon.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

With a few kernel and IO Scheduler tweaks to help with performance.
[One (M8) General] benj!:
Yeah, to be honest I had no problem with Skydragon. It did lag a bit in Chrome and Google Music, but not to the extent that it was unusable. I just wanted the 'real deal' as soon as it was available :P
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I'm pretty sure Sinless is more stock than SkyDragon and it's aroma options.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
This.
[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
This is true, but SkyDragon doesn't really have any ui tweaks other than the font selector, which I just went stock on.
[One (M8) General] benj!:
I'm tempted to install Sinless now. This waiting around is killing me :P

[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
He said a timeline would come early this week not an update.

Oh well, worse things happened at sea etc.

I wonder how many actual GPE devices they sold on the Play store, compared to people who've converted their original ones?
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I think it's safe to say it's delayed
[One (M8) General] jureca:

[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I guess the bugs reported on the other phones had them fix a few things.

Ahhhh dammit. Reading that tweet makes me feel like giving up on life and hiding myself in a cave :|
[One (M8) General] nuts77:
Keep calm people, he mostly twitted "target is" early this week, nothing confirms they are still on track. Release will probably be delayed a bit. It often is :) let's stay confident though!

Edit // sorry, late post! Didn't see the latest replies
[One (M8) General] :
People, don't act like five year kids. OTA will be, when it's time comes. No second earlier ;)
[One (M8) General] manup456:
I just knew it, but it was delayed should have been today or tomorrow.

Edit: I'll continue to stay stock and ready for update, but at least we have a solid date. I think it's for the better we may have the most stable out of all releases.

[One (M8) General] EagerestWolf:
If you really want Lollipop now, I must say that Sinless is much MUCH more stable than SkyDragon, and my lag with Chrome is gone :)
[One (M8) General] erapmicks:
Battery sucks tho right?
[One (M8) General] gogokiller:
I'm running SkyDragon since yesterday and it appears really rockstable. No crash or freeze so far. Nor noticed I lags in Chrome, but where lacks the usage for now.
[One (M8) General] MRKikas:
Ok I respect your opinion but please don't compare roms like this. Maybe you are 100% right but SkyDragon team doesn't deserve reading this because they were the first launch the Rom and let others cook from their source and thanks to them we can taste Lollipop before.

Sometimes we have to keep our feelings for ourselves. Maybe next time SkyDragon doesn't give us nothing because they felt undervalued for their "job".

Honestly if the ota was supposed to be today but they noticed the lag id rather wait for it to be a solid lag free release. Both sinless and skydragon still have lag in chrome and other odd times. Now if we didnt already have lollipop id say the same thing but extremely twitch and anxious.
