Yes, I do have TWRP. But, just flashing from there gives a big red "Failure".

That's what I meant to say above.

How's your situation, William?
[HTC One E8] william tanaya:
I haven't tried yet. Mine is unrooted so there's no way I could try out the new update.

Your software number is 1.11.709.1 but mine is 1.10.709.1 and i think that's why there is no update for me. Hope to see that soon. :D
[HTC One E8] davo04:
Sepsep You are right I have the same software as you 1.10.709.1 I have just been on HTC online chat Singapore & they are saying that they are releasing the M8Sx by batch numbers so their site does not get overloaded.So hopefully we are nearly there?
[HTC One E8] sepsep 21:
Yes. I think we will get the update today or tomorrow. Its not so far. :D

Do post a few screenshots once you're updated too. Also confirm whether it has the EYE Experience features or not. :)

How do I get back to "Locked" status?

Searching everywhere for stuff for E8...
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Check the general subsection of the E8 subsection. There are plenty of guides to do just that. Are you S-OFF or S-ON?

In case you are S-ON, there isn't a way to get LOCKED. Even if you lock your BL, you'll get a RELOCKED flag along with a TAMPERED/ MODIFIED flag.

On a side note, using M8 with my CDMA SIM (for which I had to unlock using DFS) on CM12 Nightly and loving it. CM12.1 Nightly is out today. Will be updating.

And another thing - Never buy SPRINT locked phones if you want to run them on another network, if you wish to use stock ROM/ Sense ROM. </rant>

[HTC One E8] buggerman:
This is a statement relating to the new features on Lollipop. So I'm assuming that this will be possible now.

Here is a more descriptive explanation:

[HTC One E8] riyaz045:
@ silver.light @ buggerman

can we get the stock firmware that i am currently using (4.4.2) so that i can manually flash it ?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
There isn't any RUU available for the Indian version just yet. So, no.. Not yet. Wait for an update because then an RUU may get leaked or something.
[HTC One E8] ghost_razr:
Seems like HTC has forgotten about us :( ..... regarding 4.4.4 update with EYE Experience
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Can anyone/everyone with the Indian phone, M8sd, tell me what the firmware version on your phone is? Mine is 1.25.720.3 without any updates available. Also, did you receive any update to 1.26.720.5 or did it come out of the box?

According to HTC update plans leaked by the popular LLabtoofer, it has already been made clear that HTC is skipping the 4.4.3/4.4.4 update for the One E8, and we will get the EYE experience directly along the Lollipop update, which will come somewhere between January/March. So you should look forward to that too, and stop thinking about this update! :)
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
All this already possible if you're rooted, though, isn't it?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
My E8 was on 1.26.720.5 out of the box. My friend's was on 1.25.720.3. People are not getting OTA/ user updates for this as I understand. I think you will need to visit the nearest service centre for that. This is my first HTC and it is very irritating that they aren't releasing their RUUs publicly.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Of course but that voids the warranty and not enough tools are available to remove the "TAMPERED"/ "RELOCKED" flags.
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Does SunShine S-OFF not work for you?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
No it does not. To get it to work, I will need to visit HTCDev and unlock using their method, root the device and then use Sunshine to get S-Off, which may or may not work. That will still leave the device scarred with TAMPERED/ RELOCKED flags.

I asked around on their IRC channel and jcase told me that using Sunshine will tamper the bootloader lock flags. Can anyone confirm this though?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting. SunShine works to S-OFF the Sprint E8 - I used it on my wife's phone (without unlocking via HTCDev). But just like with the M8, it seems not all variants are created equally.

Once S-OFF you can set the device flags however you want.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
The problem here is that mine is a slightly newer version, which patches all existing temproot exploits required to get Sunshine to work.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
Some news regarding the Lollipop update guys. It'll come for the E8 somewhere around Feb-March.

Check this:

Also, this link shows some changes in the Lollipop update for the M8. Pretty sure we should expect something similar.

[HTC One E8] sundayradio:
While I'm not overly keen to getting updates too early, this is quite a delay
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
How exactly is it a delay? Updates have never come faster on skinned ROMs, and even other OEMs have not completely sent out updates. Only to flagships, in some regions. And full of bugs. We definitely can't expect it before another month or two. Ours isn't even a flagship phone.
[HTC One E8] MohamadKarbi:
As I could understand from HTC reply, it seems that the update won't be soon!
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
We can't expect it before end Feb - mid March. We should have in before March ends though. Hopefully.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
If they could just release a minor OTA which includes the HTC File Manager, I'd be perfectly okay with the delay..
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
I agree totally. That's the one thing which bugs me too. But they've instead just decide to push it all out together, Lollipop, HTC File Manager, Eye experience. Which makes the wait worse. :rolleyes:
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
What sucks for me most is that Sunshine doesn't work on my device (The firmware is abnormally new. Newer than most devices sold in India anyway). There is no way that I can get External SD to write as of now.

The cool part is that the sources are out for the Indian version of the device on HTCDev.

It's disgusting to see the treatment of this device at the hands of HTC. Specially here in India. It's practically the same phone as the m8. Not being a flagship doesn't mean the phone so worthless.

[HTC One E8] Kartik1807:
Why is everyone going so impatient here? It's not only your devices that haven't got the updates. The software development team here is India is not upto the mark, they are a tad slower than the others. M8 and M7 in India were the last one to get the updates, Right? One m8 eye, m8 dual sim are still left. The software development for m8 eye and m8dual sim versions are handled by asian teams, but they are a tad slower. Now, even if they have the E8 updates ready, how can they push it out, if an higher model is not updated yet? You all need not worry, you will definitely get the updates before D816, that's for sure. You all will get sense 7 later, that's also for sure. Patience pals, Patience.

And I'm sure, once you get the update, you'll feel that it's not a great difference. it's just having under the hood tweaks.

Just have some patience guys :) :)

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

I had one x+ 2 years back, and in India it got the updates about 1 month later than the global release. That's why i have a strong belief that its just the software team in this region that is not upto the mark. The customer care representative will definitely give the same replies, because all they know is that the update is planned. even they don't have any idea about release dates. Llabtoofer doesn't have, even when moversi used to give timelines for USA, they've missed it. It's unfair to expect those kind of details from them. I had hardware issues with my e8, they couldn't helo me with that too, they escalated the case, and then i got a FREE REPLACEMENT and an option to upgrade to m8 eye. That's not something every other company would do, given that they have so marginal profits.

And you all chose HTC for it's looks, its design, flawless sense (it's pretty fast compared to even touchwiz in s6 !). Sorry for the long post, all i want to say is, htc is still pretty good, that's why you all chose it. You'll all get updates, and that too before it comes to cheaper models. :)

[MENTION=4459440]Kartik1807[/MENTION]

In reply to your long post, the ranting that you pointed out was started by me.

You yourself are saying the development team in this region is below par compared to other markets in the world.

That is my primary concern. They spend so much on manufacturing and marketing, they don't care about providing proper support.

Dual SIM phones are used mostly in the Indian subcontinent where the market is booming and No other leading brand has so many dual SIM phones. All this happened in the past 2 years when you had your one x+ and even back then support was poor as you pointed out.

So all that HTC has primarily concentrated in all these years is making money more than investing in providing better quality support.

What I as a customer infer from my above and afore mentioned observations (or ranting if you want to call it) is they care more about their own business and that's natural. But I don't care about their business or what is going on over their end. I only care about the money I spent which is as natural as they caring about their business.

Nobody is impatient here, in fact we are the ones who were more patient since november when lollipop was released and it has been half an year since then.

MY RANTING IS JUSTIFIED!!!!

P.s. : Do you work for HTC ????
