Didn't get an email but just looked on my drive account and can confirm i'm using x of 115GB :) yay
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:
Yup I got it too! Sweet!
[One (M8) General] fleetingyouth:
I didnt get the email or notification but for anyone interested I went into setting > apps > drive and deleted the updated. When I launched google drive next it gave me the notification and added the 100gb to my account.

I also got my phone on release day so Ive had it for awhile and still qualified.
[One (M8) General] IAmSixNine:
I have had my M8 for several months now.

I logged into my Drive account and within a few minutes got an email saying i am getting an extra 100 GB..

So i think its retroactive for the early adopters.
[One (M8) General] rockyseenu:
I am guessing, this will work only for locked bootloaders?

Anyone who has got the storage already with unlocked bootloader?
[One (M8) General] kalel77:
I have 125GB automatically (15+10 quick office+100 htc promo) It's just ok?

[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
got my email this morning, and double checked, all good :)
[One (M8) General] Stepp:
The first day I bought the phone I unlocked,s-off and rooted. I forget to actived the GDrive offer before. This morning I went on the htc website

I just tried this and they asked for my device serial and they generated a link for me as well. Thanks!
[One (M8) General] paulg1981:
Live chatted with HTC and they said because the bootloader was unlocked that I couldn't get it.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
They are telling you bullsh1t . S-offed , boot loader unlocked and insertcoin flashed with elementalx , and I got it...

Maybe some needs to wait a bit longer or because of country or whatever
[One (M8) General] Stepp:
Well I think depends on the operator. Try to call them maybe you will have more luck.
[One (M8) General] 09eric09:
Thanks OP, got my 100 GB today after contacting support. Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF.
[One (M8) General] rockyseenu:
Lucky you. Didn't worked for me though.. :(:crying:
[One (M8) General] paulg1981:
Tried again and didn't mention the bootloader or anything. Just said I wanted to redeem the offer and was having trouble from my device and got the coupon no problem :)
[One (M8) General] phrite:
Nice!

got the upgrade, 100GB ...
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
No need to give imei to them as they always try to tell it that way...it really doesn't if your boot loader is unlocked or not.. just try to contact another one and say your boot loader or so isn't unlocked or whatever, just complete stock but you are still not getting it !
[One (M8) General] Darkseth:
It is true, that you will NOT get the storage, if you have unlocked the bootloader.

But, regardless of what the HTC Support tells you, theres an easy way to get it:

- Lock bootloader (it has to be "Locked", not "RElocked")

- Remove Tampered Flag

(Yes, it has to be BOTH)

Reboot, open google drive, accept your 50GB (or now 100GB) Storage. Then re-unlock bootloader.

I did that, and after i relocked it properly, i got the storage (but i didnt accepted it yet, will claim it the next weeks)

Lol I totally forgot I fake locked and s-on my bootlpader and removed the tampered flag...fock sorry guys false Alarm that it works with s-off and unlocked xD
[One (M8) General] awkm:
This statement is somewhat unclear. I think that if you have an unlocked bootloader, you will not be able to redeem the offer through the Drive app. However, you can redeem it via email if you have a rep send that to you.

I have an unlocked bootloader and was unable to redeem via phone. Gave me the error to go to HTC. The customer service chat rep sent me an email link to redeem the 100gb. Just don't provide your IMEI if that's the thing that let's HTC know if you have an unlocked bootloader.

There was a form before entering the chat that asked for S/N and IMEI. Both were optional but I just entered my S/N and not IMEI.

Link worked like a charm.
[One (M8) General] alwin006:
I talked with the customer service and they told me my phone was from the United Kingdom which means "no promo for you"

I unlocked my bootloader with Sunshine and they didn't talk about that but I expected that, since Sunshine has nothing to do with HTC-Dev

All of your files will remain in Drive and you can access, download, or share them whenever you want. You won’t be able to add additional files if over quota unless you buy more storage athttps://www.google.com/settings/storage.

But I was able to trick Dropbox into 50GB/2years when they had their promo, but that was following instructions found on XDA. Was wondering if it was possible to trick Google. :good:
[One (M8) General] boe323:
Just check your storage size, im in UK, had no email but have 115Gb storage. Just to let you know, I have unlocked bootloader and s-off aswell, I didn't need to lock/relock, it just changed on its own, I did activate the 50gb storage though before I s-off'd
[One (M8) General] dspcap:
I chatted with HTC, gave them my info and they sent me the email. They didn't ask me a thing about my phone.
[One (M8) General] Rome73:
Thanks this worked for me!
[One (M8) General] h0l:
Exactly the same here. At first they were not sure if they could actually send me the link since the phone was purchased in Germany, but after 5 minutes of chat and handing over my IMEI, I got my link.
[One (M8) General] Sn8kbordin:
I did get bootloader unlock file via HTVDev before claiming 100GB offer and with root it didn't work from the Drive app.

I chatted with HTC, gave them my info, they said my warranty is void because of unlocked bootloader (they only have a record of emailing me unlocking file) to which I replied that I have no warranty claims but I am trying to get the 100GB Drive offer which states that one had to buy new HTC One M8 which I did.

THey had me go into bootloader and asked me if it said "Locked" and "S-on" which I confirmed. THen they sent me and email with activation link.
[One (M8) General] scorror:
Just checked my Google drive storage space and found it to be 140GB. I think it's quietly added by them.
[One (M8) General] OMGMatrix:
Can confirm, I entered my imei on the prechat form & put my subject as "unable to redeem Google drive promo". The agent didn't ask me a damn thing, just basically said "ok sent you the email", which I got like 5 minutes later, and it was done. This is with bootloader unlock And S-OFF.
[One (M8) General] Andrew C:
I can confirm this.

I initially tried redeeming the offer with unlocked bootloader. Unable to redeem offer, I got the prompt to contact HTC support . So I decided to lock the bootloader using the instructions in this thread. Booted the phone up, uninstalled updates for the Google Drive app. Opened it back up and the app set up as if it was a brand new phone. Then I updated the Drive app in the Play Store. Opened it back up and got the extra 100GB of storage. I'm now sitting on 165GB of cloud storage :cool:
[One (M8) General] jonny68:
Got mine too usually use Dropbox and Box but this will come in handy
[One (M8) General] ch3st3r_lp:
S-offed, unlocked bootloader. Contacted HTC support and they provided the link too. 100gb really really welcome.
[One (M8) General] KotTHECat:
Worked for me as well (i also reinstalled the app after re-locking bootloader)!
[One (M8) General] boringalex:
I think I got the extra storage while S-OFF and unlocked. But it wouldn't work while on GPE (only on sense).

[One (M8) General] NikosPx:
I have a T-MOB009, S-off, unlocked and just checked after reading this thread that I have the 100GB since May, without doing anything. It will expire after 2 years.

Didn't noticed it yet because I am using dropbox and have 50GB extra from Samsung GS4, but they will expire in November.
[One (M8) General] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
do you live in the USA?

I dont live in the usa, and contacted the htc customer support and they told me that the intitial 50GB and 100GB are for us residents only...
[One (M8) General] The Great Dane:
Nope I'm not from the US. I'm from Denmark and I simply contacted my local (danish) customer service. Told them that I never got any offer (50gb or 100gb) they got my phone number and imei, they even noticed that I had unlocked my boot loader (htc dev) but didn't commented further on that. After 5 min I got an mail with redeem from Google and voila 100gb free for 2 years.
[One (M8) General] K-a-M-u-Z-u:
ok.thanks.
[One (M8) General] tonnytech:

Maybe you can go through chat, but I simply relocked my bootloader and was given the offer. Redeemed it, and unlocked the bootloader again.
[One (M8) General] moemightie:

I was told that ATT is not allowing this offer. Is this true?

it tells me the offer has been redeemed already! WTF

[One (M8) General] Maedhros:
Hi, sorry I'm from Canada, not sure about ATT.

Would you mind confirming how much space your google drive has? If it states 115gb, then you've already redeemed the offer.
[One (M8) General] rcharliesam:
Htc support was useless for me. Relocked bootloader, then claimed offer, unlocked bootloader again. Easy.
[One (M8) General] 09eric09:
Online chat.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Can I ask both of you how you relocked the bootloader? And when you claimed the offer, did you have a custom recovery installed? Had you disabled/frozen/deleted any system apps?

It seems there are a lot of people who have rooted their phone and tried to get the Drive promo... The unlocked bootloader is a key part of having the Drive app state it cannot verify the phones' status, whereupon it gives you a link to HTC's support.

The crucial question is the circumstances in which you can redeem the promo. There are many who have relocked the bootloader, and were still sent to HTC support. The promotion is officially not available if you have unlocked your bootloader...even if you relocked it (which is why I'm asking).

If you relock the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock", it will not be a factory default lock and you will be sent to HTC support. And the odds are HTC will not be of any help.

However, if you use an alternate method of locking the BL, it will work straight from the Drive app. Although I'm seriously surprised if you were able to get the offer while you had a custom recovery. I am trying to make a guide to help people get their phone to a state where they can redeem this offer if they rooted their phone (and unlocked the bootloader...especially if they used HTCDev to unlock it).
[One (M8) General] jshamlet:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

If you are S-off, you can lock, unlock, or relock by just writing to where that data is stored. The best part is, you don't trigger a data wipe in the process. IOW, once you are S-off, changing your lock state is almost as simple as changing your CID.
[One (M8) General] rcharliesam:
I used the instructions in this thread -go to first post I was still s-off and at the time was using cwm recovery.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Ok... That's strange but I am still investigating this. I have just heard other people say that they couldn't get the Drive promo until they flashed the stock recovery (and essentially uprooted their phone). This is even if they locked their bootloader as described in that thread and elsewhere.

Yet it sounds like a few people have had custom recoveries and it didn't cause a problem.
[One (M8) General] rcharliesam:
It is possible that I did, I just really do not recall. It all would have been done in the same adb session in both locking and unlocking. Give it a try with just the boot loader first, lock boot loader, open drive app, take tour to claim the promo. See if it works that way. If not, flash the stock recovery.
[One (M8) General] kabuts:
I went the same way as [MENTION=6005385]jshamlet[/MENTION] above i.e. used the instructions on this thread by [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION] to lock and then unlock again.

Certainly don't have the stock recovery, I'm running TWRP 2.7.1.0. No system apps disabled/frozen/deleted.

I will admit to being surprised it worked, expected HTC to cross reference their database of requests to unlock the BL and deny on that.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Yes... it worked with TWRP. I had already opened Drive before and so I had to "Take Product Tour" to get the screen to redeem the space... It offered 65GB, but then when I accepted it, it said I was getting an additional 50GB of storage. Very cool....!

I am posting a short guide in General and removing the section that instructed you to flash stock recovery.

Edit: Here is the guide which follows Scotty1223's methods...I just sequenced them with other info with a goal to get the Google Drive offer: Guide to redeeming Google Drive Storage Offer
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
To add a wrinkle, I logged in from Taiwan (with an open ticket here asking to get drive and an unlocked BL) using tunnelbear to HTC US support, gave email, IMEI, and our florida number and name and got it. Easy, no questions on his part about bootloader.
[One (M8) General] microcris:
It worked for me. HTC ONE M8. Lock bootloader, redeam, unlock bootloader and done.

Thanks :)
[One (M8) General] ashaman25:
This also worked for me!!!
[One (M8) General] Croak:
HTC Chat worked for me, less hassle than relocking bootloader and removing tamper flag, took about five minutes start to finish. Hardest part was typing in the IMEI. :)
[One (M8) General] TheAngelus:
Somehow i have 115gb of space on google drive now. :confused:

[One (M8) General] hack14u:
How'd you get it. It KEEPS popping up on my Blinkfeed and won't go away and since I am bootloader unlocked and S-Off it won't give it to me. I have like 5 tiles everyday on my highlights, it's driving me nuts.

[One (M8) General] Yepix:
Mine came with the device since I just bought it recently.
[One (M8) General] Darkseth:
Some new infos here:

I redeemed my 50gb (which got upgradet to 100gb) Drive storage last april. So far, so good.

2 Days ago, i flashed the ARHD 30.1 Custom Rom, based on the 5.0.1 Lollipop update.

It seemed to somehow changed the device ID, making Google think this is a new device --> Because i again get the drive storage reminder in Blinkfeed.

I have tried to lock my bootlaoder again, and try to redeem it into my account, to have 200 gb (worked on my Galaxy S3 2 years ago, where i got 48gb Dropbox storage. And a second time, after a Rom changed the device id).

However, in HTCs Case, this seems to be limited to one time 100gb per Google Account.

My Theory: That Rom (or even the whole update) changed the ID, and you get 100gb for a 2nd Time. But you need a second Google Account, to redeem it into (one, that has NOT gotten the HTC drive storage yet)

For example a Gift for a Friend? ;)

But this still needs confirmation. Might as well just be a bug or something, but i think my theory is correct here.
[One (M8) General] clsA:
you got notified again because you have drive activator on your phone again / not because you phones ID changed

If you delete Drive Activator (it's in your system app folder) the messages will be gone too.

Is it a hardware defect? Or just about Kernel, ROM, Software stuff? Help will be much appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashsih93:
Hi

I know this is really stupid but I went swimming and had my nexus 5 in the pocket all the time < 2 hours!

When I realized this it was probably too late and my phone did not turn on. So I immediately did a little hair dryer, opened the phone (only the back cover) and put it in rice for 2 days.

Now when I turn on the phone it boots up, shows the Google logo then restarts and repeats. When I try to go into recovery, it does and I can use the volume up down keys without problem. But it just doesn't start fully.

Before trying my luck with Google's warranty, I want to know if something can be done? If it cannot become fully functional is there a way to recover my data from it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Probably can't save the phone. I'm surprised it turns on at all. Do you have a custom recovery or are you stock. If custom you might be able to get your data

[Zooper Widget General] g8rfn:
All,

I've been spending a bunch of time trying to get my icons to match Yahoo (using yahoo for my data as well). Ultimately I want my widget to open yahoo weather with certain clicks and I just want everything to be cohesive in look.

So far, I was able to extract all the icons from the yahoo weather apk, and i generally have them working. However, I've noticed that Yahoo actually has many more than 16 weather types. This seems to be causing me all sorts of inconsistencies in terms of what is shown on my widget versus what is shown in the app, specifically in future forecasts for the days ahead. For example, the app shows the next 6 days as scattered thunderstorms (its florida after all). But, my widget is showing them all as full thunderstorms (different icon than the app). I can somewhat "fix" this by mapping them to scattered, but that would just break the ones who truly should be mapped to thunderstorms.

The other problem I'm having is that the future days (once its past sunset) are all changing to nightime icons instead of being locked to day versions (as it is in the app).

Anyone have experience in trying to get everything consistent? Whats the best way to address it? And, is it possible to map the full list of Yahoo data instead of just 16? Perhaps I just screwed something up in my config file when i tried it? The yahoo developer page has a list of all of them, though I have no way to tell if that's actually 100% up to date either? Looks like it was posted in 2011. How can I make the day/night versions ONLY apply to my current weather, and not future? Maybe build 2 different sets of the same icons and exclude night? Seems like a lot of work, so wondering if anyone has tackled something similar.

Thanks,
[Zooper Widget General] g8rfn:
Also, i assume somewhere zooper is taking the 48 Yahoo weather conditions and mapping that down to just 16? Where / how is that done?
