I've downloaded but will install tomorrow as I want to backup my important folders in case they get wiped out.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
That's a good idea before any OTA..

I had some hands on with it and it seems stable for a daily driver. I couldn't spend too much time since I don't have an E8 anymore and it wasn't mine. But on a fully loaded device (300+ apps), it was very smooth.

Overall a desirable update to have. And it is 5.0.2. I didn't check the camera etc., but it seems to have the file manager (which now no one needs).

I remember this conversation is from our thread weeks back. [MENTION=2507783]buggerman[/MENTION] are you sure HTC India won't do this?
[HTC One E8] iamsuperuser:
PROBLEM !

I'm on stock 4.4.2 1.26.720.6 kitkat.

I downloaded lollipop update.

While installing the update the stock recovery shows a red triangle with an ' ! ' mark in between and the update hangs.

I had to force restart by pressing vol+ and power and the phone booted into homescreen properly but still on kitkat.

I'm S-OFF and have a custom splash screen while installing update.

Do I have to flash RUU and relock bootloader ??
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Yeah you need to be on stock HBOOT and stock Recovery for this. No need to flash RUU or relock the bootloader. You can use the files that [MENTION=1565977]DutchDanny[/MENTION] posted here: http://www.bindroid.com/download/viewcategory/37-m8sd-opaj40000-kk-india

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Even if they do, I'm pretty sure they will delay it till you lose your patience and get the update from their SVC/ flash RUU yourself.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Following this conversation , it took a week. I'm in no rush. The SVC isn't far from my place either. But I'm not tampering with my phone till htc India at least responds to the pissed off people with 1.25.
[HTC One E8] Saravana Kumar:
Got the lollipop update in Chennai,India.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Technically, it isn't tampering because the SVC people will do the same thing, using the same file. I mean, unless they use a Lollipop RUU directly, which is totally possible and more convenient as well.

Here's what HTC's response is going to look like, "Please head to the nearest HTC SVC and get the Lollipop update now!" ;)

But seriously, I hope they release the two part thingy.. Many of my non-techie friends are on 1.25.xxx.x and I am not prepared to give them full time tech support (gosh, does that make me a bad person?)
[HTC One E8] sivajithee:
whats ur software number
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Haha bro. They say that and I go to the SVC then. I don't mind waiting for the two stage update. But think about it, for those who didn't flash the RUU (like you're suggesting), only dual sim CDMA users got the update. Not fair for the others.

Its a build number difference. I don't mind waiting to see what they say.

If any customer rep, twitter account etc tell me to go the SVC, I won't mind.

But I think its worth waiting. This can't exactly be compared to m7 AT&T. their system is different with the carrier ****

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Did you have 1.26 build number ?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
No man, it is not about CDMA. So here is the thing:

When I bought my phone, it was already on 1.26.720.5 but the device that my friends bought around the same time, were on 1.25.720.3.

So, a few months ago, I got the 1.26.720.6 update and they didn't. Then I screwed around with a shady test build and ****ed my phone up with that Lollipop build, after which I got S-off and downgraded using an RUU procured by questionable means. During this time, one of my friends (on GSM in Delhi) decided to use the RUU in question and got 1.26.720.6. He got the update to Lollipop as well.

The thing is many of my friends on Reliance CDMA are still on 1.25.720.3. It isn't about GSM or CDMA. It is something else. Even on HTCDev website, the kernel sources exist for 1.26.720.5/6 but not 1.25.xxx.x. The last part is what is very very weird.
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
As everyone is asking could you tell us your software number before you updated?

Was it 1.25 or 1.26?

Kindly reply please!
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Uh huh. That's a good clarification. I thought CDMA users received an OTA for 1.26. Well if this is the case it is HTC's problem. They'll do what they have to. Can't let 1.25 users hanging in the dark can they?

And at the end, there's always an SVC.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
My money is on 1.26.720.6.. ;)

[HTC One E8] Saravana Kumar:
1.26
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Precisely.. This is entirely HTC's fault.

Another very interesting fact. This I got from an SVC. There were some issues regarding the Dot-View case in 1.25.720.3 for which users were advised to get the 1.26.720.5 update from an SVC. This is why I really doubt the existence of a 2 step upgrade for those stuck on 1.25.720.3.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

Change extension to .txt, copy it to the sdcard, change it back to .zip.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
I got 1.25 and a dot view case working perfectly. Thought that's not the point.

I don't have one day to waste in a SVC right now. I'll wait for some days and then take a call on this
[HTC One E8] sivajithee:
and i am not able to extract the downloaded zip file .. is that normal ?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
They should. They will need to download the RUU from their centralised servers though, which is why they will call you the next day if they don't have it when you visit them.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

Yes. The zip file is encrypted. You will not be able to extract it.
[HTC One E8] Saravana Kumar:
Yeah..I too had my phone on 1.25..recently I gave my phone in the service center due to some issues. It came back with 1.26..
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Seems like you know the process well man. Installing the RUU doesnt take too long does it?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Of course I do. How do you think I got the RUU in the first place.. ;)

It takes about 10 mins max. Shouldn't be any longer.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Right. I'll wait for a week or so. Then pay the SVC a visit. Thank you so much!
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
My advise would be to pay them a visit and request them to download the latest RUU before you go back the next day. Be friendly and they should do it for you. That way you won't end up wasting any time.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Missed out the most important question. Is flashing the RUU from the SVC free of cost ? :P
[HTC One E8] sivajithee:
RUU update in progress...
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
I'm guessing you're still in the warranty period, so it should be totally free.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
Yeah I am.

Couldn't thank you enough bro. Cleared lots of doubts. God bless!

Well it was snappier than kit Kat but I spent whole afternoon trying to get viper4android work and failed. I was disappointed and wanted to go back to the way it was before the update.

I use a chinese blue tooth stereo headset - bluedio i4, which worked fine on kit Kat but on lollipop while listening to music after a while there was stuttering and watching videos on mx player video & audio stuttered.

So my grievance was only with media playback rest was fine.

In the past, Llabtoofer had mentioned separately that E8 will get the update too. But lets see. HTC isn't really great at updating non flagships. And also, we're anyway getting most of it via play store updates. Just that editable on screen keys thing. :p

I know sir, I would do that.

But here, I mentioned it because HTC shouldn't be ignoring this device, it's one of their higher end phones. Which is why I bought it to their notice. They should treat this device better.

Yeah I agree with you.. A phone with such great specs..I thought I was on the top drawer when it came to updates..

A lot of apps got updated after lollipop. This morning I updated some apps so its probably because of that.

The mobile radio is active on screen off though. I don't know why
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
About 15% for me. But overall, the standby time and usage for the this whole day has been about the same with KitKat for me. And I expect it to improve once the OS settles down. Only problem with me is, I use Yahoo from the Gmail app, and that syncs a lot. Like a lot. I'll probably install standalone Yahoo app and see any difference.

Oh yes, I did wipe my phone's cache after the Lollipop update. Maybe you need to do it too.

I GSAM for a few days now regularly and check how the battery behaves.

Oh a side note, how's the update treating you guys? Noticed any major bug till now?

No, the One E8 doesn't lag. Try rebooting and factory reset, the phone shouldn't have any such issue with what's inside it's hood and the Sense implementation.

Even my RAM usage is about 1gb - 1.2gb approximately. Always. Whats the point of having 2gb ram if it's not even used?

So you shouldn't worry about that. It's only there to be used. I really think you won't have any lag unless there is a rogue app in function.

Yes, it was probably the rogue app. They best replacement keypad I suggest is SwiftKey. I use it always as the HTC keyboard is too big for me, and I love it. Uses only about 40mb too.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
After trying all keyboards, I found myself liking the Google Keyboard most. You can try that if you aren't very comfortable with SwiftKey (which is great too).

I have never installed those RAM cleaning apps ever and my E8 seems to be very snappy. The only time it lagged was when I was on ART..

3. Open the Download file with WinRar and extract "firmwarezip"

4. Open firmware.zip with WinRar, there you will find "recovery.img"

5 install this recovery.img with fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
