[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
I was able to replace it but now get the triangle with red exclamation point too. The log says that the default.xml has unexpected contents. I'm not sure what i'm missing in it but obviously something is different from the original default.xml file. Do you have the original file by chance? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Well it seems some other files got tampered with somehow. The only suggestion I have is to flash TWRP again and then my stock rooted odex ROM. Then flash stock recovery and try taking the OTA again. I built that ROM with minimal changes so that taking an OTA *should* work.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] totoakarocky:
apprecaite that can you please tell me where i can find latest firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
Since I can't find the original default.xml file I am trying to flash the stock ROM. I first tried in twrp but it failed to flash so now i'm trying with stock recovery but it just restarts the phone as soon as I click on "apply from phone storage". I'm using the 2.16.654.4_firmware.zip firmware file found in the OP of this thread.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You can't flash a custom ROM with stock recovery. How did the ROM flash fail? Instead of immediately moving on to something else, why not let us troubleshoot one issue at a time? My recommendation is to flash the stock rooted ROM I linked above. What happened when you tried to do that? Do you have a log of the error?

P.S. A firmware zip isn't a ROM - that won't help you at all, and it doesn't get flashed via recovery anyway.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
Thanks again for your help. I am downloading that ROM now. The software version on my phone has a different version number than the ROM you listed. It is 2.16.654.4. I think the difference in version number is because my phone is HK. Do you think that will cause any issues?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yes it will. The default.xml won't match. You need a stock 2.16.654.4 ROM that hasn't been touched at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
Ugh! Wish I would have backed it up. Now I know what to do once I can flash back to stock ROM. Any chance you could point me to a stock 2.16.654.4 ROM? I haven't found one as of yet.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I don't know if there's any that are unmodified, to be honest. Your Google is as good as mine.

You might just be better off running the RUU at this point.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
Google didn't help me out but I did find a stock ROM from here. I am downloading the ODEX version now. I will flash it from twrp recovery and will wipe cache and dalvik beforehand. Will I need to wipe anything else? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You probably don't need to wipe anything, to do what you're trying to do. I'd probaly just grab the file the OTA is failing at and replace it, rather than flashing the whole ROM.

My friend sitting beside me is downloading the 4.4.4 update as i type this. (Verizon)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] qualitymove13:
I dont see anything here that says 4.4.4. Anyone receiving this yet?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...international-wi-fi-calling-gps-enhancements/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThePhoneGeek:
One can make a reasonable assumption that it is 4.4.4 as the base is updated to 3.30.xx.x from 2.22.xx.x.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
This pertains to 5.0 more than 4.4.4 so shoot me if it's o/t but

http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-android-lollipop-timetable-540796/

If that article is true, we will see 5.0 for gpe devices by the end of November, making sprints 4.4.4 release obsolete with all the kickass devs we got on xda

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Sprint likes to jump ahead of the game with information they post. They did it with the Nexus 5 too. Announcing it was receiving an update on there page and it wasn't actually pushed out for a long time. Like a month or two.

I don't think it will be much longer though for the M8
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Nah, that's definitely the one, [MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION]. You know it's 4.4.4 because of the numbering. This one matches up to the versions from the other Carriers. It's just not "officially" rolling out yet.

But I guarantee you it'll be 4.4.4 and include the Eye Experience. No one will be getting it yet, though. As posted above, they always like to post those change logs early.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I hope you're right....u would think the sprint change log would state it's 4.4.4 like it did 2.16.651.4 (4.4.3), not to mention EYE
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Perhaps they'll add it to the change log later, but it's not like Sprint is known for being awesome, lol. But we do know for a fact the the 3.xx M8 software update is 4.4.4 w/Eye.

Remember that HTC is the source of the update and numbering convention, so we know that's the case. Sprint seems to have just listed the features they've added/fixed to the change log on their site.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThePhoneGeek:
I love how they announce its released but no one seems to have it yet...

MG
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Yeah kinda gay lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
No Eye Experience or .4 in this update.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
I tend to agree with Capt., if it's not 4.4.4 why wouldn't it still be 2.16.651.x rather then 3.30.651.x ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mizzou626:
The default.xml in that ROM was exactly what I needed. The update went through successfully and i'm good to go now! Thanks so much for your help!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] treyconner1991:
Alright i downloaded the ROM and flashed it fine. I downloaded the OTA and it keeps giving me the red triangle again but with "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml" has unexpected contents. Any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah the fix for sd card write is in there. My bad.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] treyconner1991:
So am I screwed or is there a fix?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You just need that file from stock. It might work if the edit is removed from the file. If you upload it I can fix it and you can replace it and see if it goes through.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] treyconner1991:
If I upload what? The ROM? Sorry, I'm just confused and the tech water I'm in right now is above my head.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The file.

EDIT: Why is it that you can't just RUU again?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] treyconner1991:
So I just upload the file that my recovery said was wrong? And I can I don't know where to find them (RUU). And if I RUU, will I lose root?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Yes, you lose root when you RUU. But if you know how to root, then just root again. If not, there are many tutorials about rooting HTC devices. They are ALL the same.

If you are S-On, then you must relock your device through fastboot before running the RUU. If you have no idea about what I'm talking about, send me a PM, and I'll help you from there.

Now, let's get this thread back on track.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, if you upload the file, I can remove the edit that making it fail.

The easier route would be to RUU. Yes, if you RUU you will lose root, but getting it back is as simple as reinstalling TWRP and flashing SuperSU. That's actually my preferred method of updating. HTC Backup restores all my Home Screen Settings and apps, and I use Titanium Backup to restore app data where necessary.

The RUUs are available on the HTC Support site.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] treyconner1991:
Does it matter if I'm s-off when I RUU? Will I stay s-off?

And thank you again, I'm sure its frustrating as hell giving a caveman such a I a step by step on how to accept OTAs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You will retain S-off. You do not need to relock your bootloader if you're S-off, either.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Only a fastboot command returns your device to S-On. My carelessness bricked one of my Evos, so if you need to know that command, Google it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
One of the great things about s-off is you don't need to take the OTA anymore. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PhallusOfGod:
Oh yes. I've recently discovered S-Off, SuperCID, and Su. I've unlocked the true potential! Thanks everyone!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] edlee:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] graycorgi:
No one has actually gotten the update from what I can tell yet and it's 2 days since that article. Let's wait and see.

Edit: Take a look, Sprint has removed the update notes from their support pages for both the M8 and M8 HK edition. Looks like another case of them publishing the details before they were actually ready to release, and now they backpedal. Give it a few days.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It'll be 4.4.4 + Eye. Mark my words.

That article is purely speculative.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] deakelem:
lets hope a few days.. idk if anyone remember the whole sprint nexus5 4.4.3 fiasco where they did the same thing only google didnt release 4.4.3 until like 2 months after... maybe more... i hope its not another case of that
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
And you're not speculating? lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Warlord721:
The support page still says the current version is 3.30.651.2 they just removed the release date and changelog from the box below it. Silly, silly Sprint! Just send it out already!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] graycorgi:
HTCs website says the eye experience update for Sprint is in the certification phase. That's the last phase before release. It does not mention any other update before that, so this is the eye experience update for sure.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
Making assumptions without evidence = speculation as well.

Post your hard evidence but until then you're speculating as well by definition. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You can think whatever you'd like ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
Nothing to think about here. You call out an article for being pure speculation then you said you know it's going to be .4 EYE but don't provide evidence yet you're in denial about being a speculator as well.

So either provide evidence of .4 or admit you're speculating without trying to change the subject and make people look stupid.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not trying to make anyone look stupid - what did I say that suggests that?

I only stated the article was speculation because it implied they are two separate updates, which they aren't.

If you want to say I'm speculating because I'm not providing proof, that's up to you. My apologies if you think my response was intended to insult; that certainly wasn't the case.

At the end of the day, all that matters are the facts, which will be confirmed once the OTA starts rolling out. Any further comment on the matter would just be to stir a pointless argument, which I have no interest in doing. So, I digress.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sgt. slaughter:
Ok... FACT HTCs site STATES our device is in cert stage, aka in the lab at Sprint for EYE update...

FACT... Software updates that increment the first digit... Increment the android version as well... Always has here.

These are the FACTS... :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Let's just hope this update comes sooner than later looking forward to the new adsp firmware from HK. We will most likely be seeing this next week and I don't think its all that big of an update just keeping us happy. Because y'all know we love to get down flashing ROMs and we are kinda left in the dust with some ROMs until this update hits. I'm actually happy with what I got now but patiently waiting.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
Patterns != facts. And who cares if it is in the cert stage... the only fact there is that it IS in the cert stage. Says nothing more than what stage something is in.

First digit release could mean just a firmware update (radio for instance) without changing the OS version.

Might want to Google what a supporting fact is. You always seem to think you know more than you do.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:

Sorry but if I leave it alone and someone irrelevant comes in and pretends to know what "FACTS" are how am I the instigator?

Move along. You're also irrelevant and instigating lol. Good one.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
At this point there is no actual proof on what the update will be, albeit there is strong evidence suggesting.

In pure legalese it is just speculation on all our parts. We have seen HTC, Sprint, and Google rick-roll us with minor updates before. I don't think they are doing it this time, but until the update drops, we can't be 100% certain can we?

Either way let's try to keep this civil, nothing wrong with disagreeing or arguing semantics, but we can lay off the personal insults etc methinks... :highfive:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sgt. slaughter:
Myself personally knowing from PERSONAL inside experience with Sprint/HTC... What I said there earlier.... It's a FACT bud. Understand that and move on... First digit corresponds to android version changes... Next 2 are software versions... Increase with major updates with new firmware,radio... 3rd group is region/carrier, last is typically minor updates and tied to tweaks needed during the cert stage with carrier....

Firmware and such will move the other digits if OS is staying the same. ALWAYS is the case and always will be.

Im Done with this if it doesn't sink in with you now... Not sure why your trolling here along continuing this nonsense here....

Everyone else... Look forward to the update! :)

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
I have to say, this has been rather entertaining. Only way to make it more entertaining would be if we could get someone like Hacre in here to start a Post 5 out of this.

Love watching people go back and forth about who is irrelevant. I will throw in my opinion that Captain is by no means an irrelevant person in M8-land. Way I see it, anyone who can rack up a few thousand thanks is pretty likely to have some relevance in the android community. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. :)

I'm not going to pretend to know what is coming out. I'm hopeful for something meaningful (4.4.4 and Eye), but if not, I'm not all that worried. Still love my M8, and that won't change if HTC holds out on us for a while. Besides, it's not like HTC has done what Moto did to those of us who used the Photon (leaving ICS/JB capable device on 2.3.5 GB).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
Ok,ok just let it go folks. One thing we are sure of, there will be an update shortly. What the contents of that update are is uncertain until it gets here.

Its been my experience that if an individual is obviously entering a thread to stir up s#!t, just ignore them, stop responding and they will go away.

I remember that device and that messed up situation left me with bad taste of moto for years. Thanks for pushing out ROMs for the photon. You definitely made that device bearable.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
bahhh, this discussion is rather petty...regardless of who is right, we know 4.4.4 w/ EYE IS coming soon, and based on the version change, there is strong indication that 3.30.651.2 will be 4.4.4 w/ EYE...it only makes sense, it would be silly to have 2 separate OTAs within a week or so.

I read that T-mobiles update did not have the "crop me in" feature & would be added later...
