[HTC One E8] buggerman:
I wouldn't say I got rid of it. I already miss it. It was a great phone that served me well.

If my friends who use M8 are to be believed, it is better to stick with Kitkat on it too, where stock is concerned.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Yeah dude. We all want lollipop desperately not realising that it has bugs. We just want it cause we want it. :p

[HTC One E8] william tanaya:
Nice. congrats on your upgrade. but why not spend a little bit more for M9?

although from what I heard, M9 have a bit of trouble as well.

mainly the camera and overheating problem.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Precisely that reason. I thought I'd get me an M9 but the reference 810 SoC from Qualcomm is very problematic at the moment.
[HTC One E8] william tanaya:
I want lolipop mainly because of the file explorer...

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

true...

you can't go wrong with M8 anyway..
[HTC One E8] Kartik1807:
Just for your info, M8 Harman Kardon Edition will also not get the same treatment as The M8. I have M8 Eye, but still there is no update, and yeah, i am not complaining. Its just that, if you want updates, go for the standard M8. If you want better camera, go for M8 Eye. But there's no significant difference between standard and H/K version.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Just root the damned thing already.. ;) I did..
[HTC One E8] william tanaya:
I want to.. trust me. but I won't..

because my family (especially my brother) is an "expert" on this.

I rooted my old phone (note 2), installed custom ROM on it. and it worked fine.

then I switched my phone to E8, and he had to use my note 2 because his note 2 broken.

he used it for one day, and decided to "unroot" it, almost bricked the phone by doing that (don't ask me how), and blame me because I rooted it.

so.. yeah

and also.. this phone is already awesome. So I don't really inclined to root it.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Well, you obviously know that rooting isn't only for Custom ROMs. I was using a rooted E8 without any custom ROMs. Heck, I didn't even have TWRP installed. I just booted TWRP when needed and kept the phone on pure stock.

My main reasons for rooting were:

1. File management on external sd

2. Removing the ghastly power saving logo from status bar.. :P
[HTC One E8] william tanaya:
true... I almost rooted mine. But I decided to wait for the lolipop thinking it might come in a couple of weeks (feb).

and the it delayed. I thought this time it'll arrived by march. and.. here we are..
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
I Remember the period when I used to think HTC as some Alien company providing awesome things and devs love The HTC devices.No doubt I would thing like this as I had micromax canvas 4.I rooted mmx c4 and enjoyed dozens of awesome Rom but as it's mtk ,sky was bounded.So ,I bought a decent

SD device and here i am.Playing high end games and watching hd p**n on my phone.because I m waiting for update.:(

Samsung phones have some problem. I can't put my finger on it, but they do.

I think every manufacturer should provide resources to build AOSP at least. There are several people who don't care for their crap. And it is not like they're selling their devices at a considerable discount too. Samsung is by far the worst at this. Their software is just plain bloat. I don't know anyone who likes their TouchWiz.

I mean if I'm paying Rs. 30,000 ($500), I at least deserve to customise my experience of the device. And it is not like they're selling developer editions or GPEs in India.

I think I will do the same.I will probably get a Note 4 for my daily driver and a Moto E2 4G for flashing purposes. Too much frustrated with the way HTC is treating this device.I could have HAPPILY stayed with this device on 4.4.2 if HTC had given us File Manager and Eye Experience Update earlier.Whats more frustrating is that some peeps have already got the update and we are still lagging behind.What's the use of selling it under the name polycarbonate flagship when they treat it as a low end device :mad:
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
I know.. Even M8 EYE got the File Manager..
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
It came preinstalled with 4.4.4, which is why it has it.

They haven't had any updates too as far as I know. They are as unlucky as us when it comes to updates. Only the flagship gets the special treatment.

In other news, HTC announces One M9+ and One E9+ in India! No Qualcomm processors around this time. Wow HTC India, what are you really up to? :rolleyes:

I like how M9 looks, especially the square camera. The dual tone adds to the glory of the device.

The M9+ is a decent looker too. They should have had the square cam here too. And the FFC on the center, making it more symmetric with the bottom speakers and the fingerprint sensor.

E9+ I agree. Looks horrendous.

loooool it feels as if HTC wants to kill E8 updates purposefully :(
[HTC One E8] iamsuperuser:
I agree. There should be an easy way to flash firmwares and HTC should provide the firmware.

Lots of people use HTC phones today and they should have an instant way to reset their devices like flashing firmware instead of running to service centre for every little problem.

They obviously cannot handle so much traffic at service centre because it is pretty clear how good their after market support is, at least here in India

Can't we lodge some kind of formal complaint demanding an explanation for the delay ?? Why is India last at receiving the update?? The previous update was not so controversial and was quicker no matter what region.

Let's not forget HTC was one of the first if not the first brands to run Android and till date their support is sub_par compared to newer brands like SONY and Samsung.

It's not like they cannot afford it, they just don't want to. If they really cannot afford to they wouldn't have released so many dual SIM phones of so many different variants.

Releasing so many phones means they should be able to support them too..If they didn't release so many phones and invested in better support who knows they could have pushed the update much earlier, to all the different so called 'combinations of hardware and software' .

By the looks of it I know how to write lengthy paragraphs of crap too, HTC.

[HTC One E8] Prajnacara:
Hi Davo04

I have absolutely no idea whether it'll make any difference or not.

The OTA file automatically downloads to the main SD card "Downloads" folder.

I rooted my phone a while back, so can access this.

Then I made a copy of the OTA zip to the second SD storage card just in case.

Then, made a copy of this to GDrive, where I shared the link.

So, I'm guessing you should download it and transfer it to the Download folder.

Then, take it from there. But I'm having my own problems at this point...
[HTC One E8] davo04:
Hi Prajnacara. Thanks for your help.My phone is unrooted.So I think that I will wait for the OTA.
[HTC One E8] Prajnacara:
Present status:

Lollipop OTA downloaded from regular "check for updates".

Select "Update".

Phone reboots, into TWRP recovery.

Now what?

Trying "Install" it fails.

Usually such updates don't require any such selections,

the phone just reboots into recovery and it does the updating automatically.

Could anyone who has already done the Lollipop update successfully,

say from Hong Kong or elsewhere, share what happened for them?

I'm wondering if my phone being rooted is an issue?

It shouldn't be, because I did the rooting through the standard HTD Developer process.

Any clues / suggestions?

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

According to the HTC online Chat people, because my phone is rooted, it won't be able to install the OTA in the normal way.

So, about to un-root, and give it a try. I can always re-root it once the Lollipop is installed.

Hehe, so much for a productive Saturday morning, huh? :p
