Yep, officially the firmware will be available to pull starting at noon Eastern today (Thursday 3/5) but typically OTA will start rolling to some folk up to 8 hours earlier. Please don't all furiously check for updates at noon though, wait an hour or so and let the servers breathe!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
Source? Credentials?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
OK, so I just called VZW Support (Business) and the guy told me that HTC approved it on Tuesday, but that it could be another 2-4 weeks before it's OTA (I'm calling B.S. simply because I want it sooner than that!)

One thing he did say, and I've seen numerous articles also confirm this, but the OTA is only available if you are connected to WiFi, the update won't hit if you are only connected to LTE/4G.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
If Mo says it's coming out today, I'd believe him over a Verizon talking head on the phone. As for the WiFi requirement, never heard of that before for any update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crzyn8:
My guess is this is probably referring to their staged rollout, basically their way of saying that it could take that long before everyone has it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Yes, I don't think that part of his statement was true, as typically the CSR's are just given lame duck info and have a scripted answer. I did find it interesting that he said it's WiFi only. I also don't think I've ever heard of that. I can only assume it must be a huge file size and they don't want people b*tching about Data useage/overage. (I have grandfathered unlimited, so this wouldn't affect me, lol)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Like clockwork.

it's a two parter folks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oops_iv:
same here .. booooyaaaaaaaa .. now its time to discect this thing so i can actually upgrade :p
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Looks like the WiFi only part was true?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I will get this packaged up and uploaded in rooted RUU format as quick as my phone will allow :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
Just saw your last message. Do you think you can just send me the stock OTA file?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
IF you aren't 100% stock you need to use this RUU first in order to get these OTA.

Yes it will. I may keep it in general section this time.

Sounds good... if you could link to the new thread here, I would appreciate it! (Along with a TON of appreciation for the RUU!)

Just did the 1st OTA update, the 2nd is downloading now. I am in West Palm Beach, FL. I got the update on 4G so I don't think you need to be WiFi only.

S-Off

I'm already S-Off with Sunshine, stock everything, no root. I don't care about having root access right now I just don't want to lose the ability to install a custom rom at some point down the road. I'm good to go ahead and take the update right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DucatiMon:
I'm tracking that I have to do the RUU first. I was looking for something in the update file itself, that's why i was asking. I didn't want to have to do RUU just to get the file is all. No biggie.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
btw,.. first OTA here..

2nd OTA here....

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I'm going to see if the VVM & Message apks will function on my Custom ROM(s).

EDIT: Looks like that one doesn't have the Bloatware/Apk's on it. Must be a "prep" file for firmware, etc.

Strange... did it warn you at all about the data usage at all?

Has anyone tried FoxFi Wi-Fi mode after taking the OTA?

Hey im using the verizon model with a gsm sim. .if i return to stock completely is there any way i can flash the ota?Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MarkLI88:
The 1st one I did when out to lunch over 4G, the 2nd I got the warning that the update was available when I was on 4G but I decided to wait till I was back at the office on WiFi before I downloaded and installed it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
Just finished both updates on my stock M8. It was painless. Gonna do a factory reset and restore just to have factory fresh 5.0 installed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sprke:
Does it have VoLTE?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Have you tried to root your device post-OTA? As I understand it, OTAs *should not* be able to S-On our devices, so in theory we should be able to flash a custom recovery and then root as per usual. Am I correct in that, or... ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] n8mack33:
If I'm already Soff I can take the updates without losing Soff right? I'm fully stock.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DeepMix:
Im still getting the 4.4.4 update on the htc sync manager ( cant update over wifi since im on a gsm carrier) would it be necessary to update to 4.4.4 before getting 5.0?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I will have a FULL pre-rooted RUU posted shortly.. just test it.. IT will be a SINGLE file solution in either EXE or zip format.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] balag59:
Thanks!btw can i manually flash the ota's that you posted if im completely stock 4.4.4 rooted s-off?Im on a gsm carrier so not ota for me.Im talking about downloading the two ota's you posted and flashing through the stock recovery.Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I wondered about that. For example, if someone was still running stock 4.4.2 out of the box.--would it OTA to 5.0 or go 4.4.3->4.4.4->5.x?

I would think it would have to leapfrog through each version since each OTA isnt a "full" one?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
AS long as you can get to hboot you can flash the RUU. Don't even need stock recovery...

RUU's will be here shortly...

I can get to hboot. So just flash from there? I am currently on AICP rom. I tried the two OTA's but they did not go through.

Thanks for this man. Hoping for some better reception with the new radios.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Hey Dottat, I remember deep somewhere in various RUU/FUU threads, it was stated if you are s=off you could flash the unrooted/completely stock FUU files and still be s=off--which is great. I was wondering if there was any way you

could put a little indicator/note (* or something) under the unrooted stock FUUs threads/links you have posted?

I think it would be a good reminder for folks, for whatever the reason, wanting to flash as completely stock as possible, but still be able to keep s=off. But I wasn't sure...For s=off users, the bootloader would stay unlocked as well?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
Anyone noticed that VZW sneaked in Dolby surround audio?? :) I guess that's one of the reasons why it took longer to update. Anyone else notice any new features???
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rhodyvik:
I already had ProjectEra 23.1 which is Dolby for external speakers. And V4A for Bluetooth audio. How is it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I am on the new update. Sync manager has "no software available' for repair. They rarely have it on htc sync the first day.

Either way.. the full s-off RUU is posted here for those who can use it.

Noticing a serious problem for me. Completely stock, not rooted. I use a flash based player to stream content from my home computer and work computers (I work in TV, and its absolutely necessary I am able to view these streams on the go). With kitkat, Dolphin and the hacked Flash Player worked perfectly. I tried it with Dolphin after updating, and Dolphin kept force closing with any page with flash content. I uninstalled Dolphin and the flash player, and reinstalled both. Same thing. Googled it and couldn't find anyone else with this issue with Lollipop, which leads me to believe it's something with Sense or just the m8 in general. Anyone else notice this? Or can test Dolphin with a flash based video player?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calichelozano:
Hi guys, so should I download the 2nd OTA zip file someone uploaded and flash it through recovery? Is it rootable? If my m8 is sim unlocked for use on another country...will it lose the sim unlock? Thanks!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
That is weird. I could be totally wrong, but since you're using a verizon [cdma] phone, with GSM t-mobile sim..the phone itself will authenticate via CMDA verizon wireless [as wireless authentication via cdma is done at phone not sim level], and obviously the sim via GSM/T-Mobile...it sounds as if the Verizon is still trying to transpose that to another subscriber via CDMA, with t-mobile/gsm network going to the correct subscriber...maybe need to change APN settings?

Has anyone managed to get WiFiFoFum to work (without breaking TomTom)?

I can get the WiFi bit of it to work, but not the GPS.

Is it possible to access GPS over bluetooth from a PC? How?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Yes, I run the latest WiFiFoFum on my Athena without a problem. It even picks up the coordinates from the GPS after I setup the Comm port.

Haven't tried it. You would have to setup your Athena to accept BlueTooth connections, then you may have to configure a serial port for your laptop to connect to. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

EDIT: How was TomTom "broken" by the way?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jrp:
After I installed Wififofum Tomtom seemed unable to get a GPS fix until I removed it. What com port numbers did you use?

How do I link that Bluetooth com ports to the GPS com ports?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
I have to run out for the moment but try this.

After you run WiFiFoFum, make sure it's really closed down before you try TomTom. Reinstall it, run it, then to make sure it's off go to Start, Settings, System, Memory and make sure it's not running under the Running Programs tab. WiFiFoFum may be locking down the Comm port denying access to TomTom. Also, make sure you're running WiFiFoFum2...the latest version.

As for setting the comm port, you'll have to research this. I've done it before but don't remember how and have never tried on my Athena. You may want to check the manual or google for the solution. Sorry I wasn't much help in this area.
