OTA received today!

Finally the day I've been waiting for!!

I've just the OTA update today but I'm unable to to complete the update progress due to me having S-OFF and a custom recovery.img file on my device. I'm sure I backed this up when I initially replace but I'm unable to find it.

Would anybody be able provide somewhere I can download as I can't find the correct version on the net or take a backup from one of your devices?

I got the device shipped from HK and when I run fastboot getvar cid it outputs HTCCN703

Current version is - imgur.com/a/hgrNK (can't put as link due to being my first post!)

Can someone please help!?!?

I don't want lollipop to be honest.I am quite happy with kitkat.The only thing I need is the filemanager and camera improvements(My nexus 5 8MP was way way better than this)We wouldn't have been this impatient if HTC rolled out the filemanager and eye suite update earlier.
[HTC One E8] Silver.Shadow:
The service pack has nothing to do with this, service pack is updated throughout htc devices. As a common update via play store. So that has nothing to do with this.

No the E8 camera is already better than Nexus 5. Easily. I don't know what you feel, but in my opinion, and even friends who have Nexus 5, E8 has a far better camera output.

The feature I want the most is lock screen notifications. Nothing else much.

You can flash a RUU file to restore everything to default (but I think you'll lose S-OFF). From your CID, it seems that your variant is M8Sw and the carrier is China Unicom. Just grab the newest Unicom RUU from this thread and flash it :)
[HTC One E8] 00cleggm:
Yeh I found that thread a couple of mins ago. It had the recovery.img for my model so I've just restored in & the update is happening as I type!

Thanks for the help tho

Hey I too messed up with my radio band.. I am planning to give my phone to service center on Saturday. How long does it take for them to return the phone? Did they give you a estimate date?
[HTC One E8] 00cleggm:
Just updated and google play services constantly crashes. I've tried multiple versions, removing and factory resetting the phone. :(

I've had to role back to the backup that I took before the update as its just totally unusable. Might have another go when I have a little bit more time.
[HTC One E8] dhruvbajaj:
This google play services crash I constantly observed when I changed from dalvik to art manually. And lollipop runs on art as default.

All of a sudden I don't want lollipop :p

Kinda silly.

The lollipop 'Art' is native to the OS and apps runs flawlessly. I have gotten rid of my E8, but still hanging around the forum waiting to see how long this takes.

[MENTION=6577725]dhruvbajaj[/MENTION] i am not suggesting anyone to do anything. i didn't even point out anyone. All i am saying is, that you guys will get an update. You paid ~32k for this phone, you will definitely get updates before desire 816. Had no intensions of offending anyone :)

[MENTION=4218294]iamsuperuser[/MENTION] I didn't call it ranting. Yep, the development in this region is below par. But that is not a reason to 'hate' htc. Frankly speaking, htc doesn't spend much on marketing. They haven't been making profits since last two years, until they released d816. You want to rant, well, then continue with it. No need to get offended, or rant at me. I didn't even try to stop you. I don't even have this phone now, got M8eye, even i didn't get the update. But i am stuck to this thread coz i had this device, and people here are enthusiasts. There is not even a page of m8eye on xda.

And i don't work for htc.

I buy phones all over the world. I have been an HTC fan since the HTC Legend. I will never buy another HTC product in India.

Appalling support for all you India guys and girls. I'm now even thinking about a Nexus for fast releases. It some how makes me think HTC are very skeleton staffed. I'd hate to buy a flagship model for them to go bust 6 months later. Worth bearing in mind I think.

They are simply not fulfilling what they are press releasing. Too much competition from similar Chinese etc phones and stalwarts like Samsung will see HTC plummet . HTC prices will have to come down to Oneplus levels I think.

I'm skeptical about what the HTC south Asia twitter guy says. He says early May was 'slated'. Though i do believe him cause he's not gona make a twitter account and take **** from people for nothing. He's probably some employee. I find him easier to believe than those stupid chat reps who give computer generated replies.

E8 should be updated before the M8 Eye too, it's an older device. Expect it soon, I've heard its ready, just in line to be rolled out which HTC India is delaying god knows why. Should be rolled out soon now. Maybe, if Indian M7 got updated today, then that's what was delaying our updates too. I HOPE its next week.

AFAIK, M8 Eye gets the update after E8 in India.

I think so too, E8 and 816 will be updated first, then M8 Eye and Desire Eye. At least I think so.

Also, I'm pretty sure M7 was updated back in March. The news of it getting the update today is inaccurate. Just hoping the update for E8 is gonna be rolled out soon.

We shouldn't exactly fret if we don't have an update. Its not a big deal. All we gotta do is get a more supported phone next time. Or flash custom software after a while.

Can't really call it crap because it's not a flagship. It's still a great device, just that the support isn't good enough.

That's the right term, "supported by developers". Which our device isn't, but we can't complain, it's barely available in any markets.

Again, the device is great.

For you, the best alternative is One M8. That is one of the most supported device, and is usually the first flagship to get any updates. Even the Moto X2 doesn't have as much support, though its a good alternative. Or maybe the M9 now, if your budget permits.
[HTC One E8] mietens:
M9 + will be available here in India with mediatek... I m afraid after 6 month google will release another major update and htc will tell us that due to processor m9 + will not having optimal experience so no update will be issued...htc is doing serious play here in Asia....once they can gain profit by this dirty game but ultimately will follow Nokia and blackberry
