Hi.
I've come to notice that every time an OTA update is available I'm the last one to get it. In December when Sense 3.0 update came out I only got it about 2 months after the official update announcement. And now it looks like it's happening again with the ICS update.
Anyhow I bought my phone second hand, and how can I now to which region it belongs? Is there a way to know how long do I have to wait for the update, or how top get it faster.?
Hmmm.... why does even HTC bother with this region nonsense.?
Please an answer to this?
Im 100% new here.
So far it looks like only some European countries have received the update, and only for WWE phones, to find out if it's a WWE phone you can check with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
If it's HTC__001 you have a WWE phone. I live in the UK and haven't got the update yet, but I'm hoping to get it at least this week. If your phones not WWE, then it'll probably take even longer for your update to be released.
Can you give me the steps to get in fast boot please?

since all you're needing is the cid, just go grab CID getter off the store. It's free and will tell you your carrier ID and thus who you're beholden to for updates.
As kouroshp said, if the CID is HTC_001, you have a WWE phone (SIM-unlocked and purchased from HTC, rather than via a carrier) and get your updates straight from HTC and thus you're likely to get your updates soonest.
If it isn't, then you know who to bother about when you'll be getting the update.
Either download the Android SDK or these files, either should give you fastboot.
Power off your phone, power it back on holding the power button and the volume-down button, select fastboot from the list (using the volume keys to navigate and the power to select), then connect your phone to your PC.
Then open command prompt, change to the directory containing fastboot, and enter what I said in my previous post. Select reboot afterwards.
EDIT: Or what compro01 said, got there before me
I noticed a link that was posted on the other thread. Is this for all phones?

What this means is you have a XTC Clip'd IncS, but you have the North American version based on the BM___001 value.
The NA IncS is modelid PG3212000. The update is for the modelid PG3213000, so the official OTA would fail with device id error.
The good news is since you are S-OFF/carrier unlocked via XTC Clip, you can force the WWE version of 3.11.405.2 on your phone and then force the ICS OTA.
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I understood half of what you said...i'm completey new with android and hacking but from what i understand my model of HTC isn't the on compatible with the OTA update but since i'm S-OFF i can force the update using recovery boot and forcing it to launch the instalation?(Using this file i assume)

First you have to get the latest version of GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 installed on your phone. This will be WWE 3.11.405.2. This is the only version that the OTA file will upgrade.

What is your Hboot version too?
If you want to root, now would probably be a good time if you Hboot is compatible with revolutionary
Unless you can find a ruu or ota that is compatible, which I don't know
If you don't want to root you need to find an ruu or ota that works with your phone (I have no experience in doing this)
Another thing you could do is make a goldcard and flash any ruu (I did this)

Yes, you can run the ruu

Just ask someone get before doing it, to be sure, I don't know sorry

You should probably start by installing CID Getter from the market to determine what region your phone is made for. After that, it will be easier to determine which RUU you need to get you up and running. Post your CID here and maybe we can find the correct RUU for you.

i already hav an OTA file for the indian version but from one of the threads but dint know hw to use the file to update my phone....
The problem with OTA files is that they are incremental and are only meant for going from specific versions of software so the fact that you are on such on old version, it is highly unlikely that any OTAs are available, hence you need to flash a full RUU of either the most up to date or at least a much newer release.
As an example, I flashed the Virgin AU RUU that's available on here but it's too old to receive OTA updates. I then used a backup of the software that was on my phone when I bought it and that received an update within seconds of turning on.
So you will need to determine what your CID is and then you will be able to get a newer RUU that will allow you to start receiving OTA updates.

Once again, please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then run the command:
fastboot getvar all
and post the results. This will give us all of the information to help guide you in the right direction.
The problem with an OTA is that it is upgrades you from one specific version to another, so if you don't have the right version to start with, an OTA will not help you.

As far as I'm aware the **tampered** flag is there in the same spirit as the yellow triangle on Samsung devices, exactly so they can tell you've unlocked and modified it. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is currently a method such as with triangleaway to get rid of this on the One yet. You'll just have to chance it and send it back as is

RUU
If you download and the One's RUU from HTC's website, it erases the tampered. I discovered this when I had to restore my device to stock with the RUU.
Should be to download the RUU, run the RUU. The bootloader needs to be relocked.
After you set set it back to factory, just unlock the bootloader and you're free to go.
If the exe version doesn't work, the fastboot version should.

I agree with you, Just wanted to get earliest updates, one more thing with that update HTC has already taking out all the reasons of custom rom for me!!
and one more thing it will flash the firmware, and there would be stability, i am becoming more of flashoholic with the phone all the time in recovery!!:laugh::laugh:
I have done it so I could get ota from dev edition, changing the cid is easy however changing the mid is not. You must flash engineering hboot and add some changes using android sdk command prompt. If your interested let me know, however you can easily update your firmware and Rom pretty easy and most developers are only a couple days behind an update, plus they are much improved from what HTC original Rom. I would wait the couple day and flash the Rom and if your concerned about firmware there are many threads on xda that are pretty much noob proof! Good luck

Thanks for the Info. Did you follow this guide.
I rooted my phone thinking it would benefit me, like it did on my EVO 3D, however i cannot have been more wrong. First off all the ROMS i tried (CM11, viper, insert coin,) had either a buzzing noise from the top speaker, or the WIFI didn't work. Second i cannot update the firmware using the OTA update. I download it then try to install and all that happens is it boots into TWRP. I just want to know if there is a way to get it back to normal like i just got the phone. I tried finding my Cid and doing the unlocker method, but i didn't find any Cid labeled spcs_004. Is there just an RUU i can run that will get my phone back on track with sprint? I have the Harmon Kardon model of the M8 BTW. Also i never updated my phone since i got it, so i'm on firmware no 1.54.xxx.xx (i don't know the rest of the numbers off hand).
Go to the thread in the link below. Download the 3.31.654.2 RUU to your computer. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable and boot your phone into Fastboot USB mode. Open up a command terminal with your ADB/Fastboot folder, then re-lock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock (unless you're S-off). Leave your phone and computer connected and from either Fastboot USB mode or while booted to the Android OS double-click the RUU to start the installer. Follow the prompts on your computer screen to install the RUU. For more info hit the second link in my sig and read the RUU section of that guide.

Okay so I did originally mess up rooting and flashing my HTC One m8 sprint edition. Since that day I succesfully (After 8 hours of horrible things) got it back to factory reset with the exception of S-off and the super cid. The thing is I dont want the super Cid because i DO want the OTA Update. The problem is I was a noob and forgot to save the original sprint CID number. So long story short. Does anyone have the Sprint CID number. Unless the Super CID number gets OTA updates for Stock. PLease and Thanks

Update to reset stock htc one m8
So after doing more research I found that the image that I grabbed for stock android came from a H/K Edition. In fact the phone identifies itself as the as the Harmon edition ( I got the RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173) I was curious as you said that you yourself got OTA updates. Aside from lollipop, which updates did you receive. I only ask because I have heard of phones bricking up after doing an update and then something going wrong because they tampered with their tech. I DO want lollipop, but if it means losing my phone, then it is obviously not worth it.
ALSO looking at that website, I have verified that I got the NON-H/K edition....I am at a loss, I can try flashing it again, but honestly, I hate even looking at fastboot or any bootloader for the time being. Push comes to shove I will go down the rabbit hole again, but I do not want to risk a brick like before.
SIDENOTE: Not sure if its significant, but after flashing that RUU, I lost the weather widget at the top of blinkfeed, It only shows something such as "HIGHLIGHTS" If you would like I can post screen shots.
I am sorry to be such a noob and/or burden, and if you can help i would very much appreciate that if not, could you please direct me to a place where I could figure it out. Possibly a link or a person.
PLEASE AND THANKS!!!

So after doing more research I found that the image that I grabbed for stock android came from a H/K Edition. In fact the phone identifies itself as the as the Harmon edition ( I got the RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173) I was curious as you said that you yourself got OTA updates. Aside from lollipop, which updates did you receive. I only ask because I have heard of phones bricking up after doing an update and then something going wrong because they tampered with their tech. I DO want lollipop, but if it means losing my phone, then it is obviously not worth it.
ALSO looking at that website, I have verified that I got the NON-H/K edition....I am at a loss, I can try flashing it again, but honestly, I hate even looking at fastboot or any bootloader for the time being. Push comes to shove I will go down the rabbit hole again, but I do not want to risk a brick like before.

I don't actually install the OTA I flash the previous version stock rom and download the OTA, then pull it from my phone so the devs can use it to build roms and pull the firmware.
It's pretty hard to brick these devices unless you do something really crazy. As long as you can get to recovery or bootloader it's only soft bricked meaning it can be saved.
I would suggest changing your CID back to stock
Code:
fastboot oem writecid SPCS_001
Then run the latest RUU that will put you where you need to be to take the OTA when it comes.
Hello, guys!
Long storry short - my HTC One M7 died, and they repaired it by changing the motherboard, but now it's AT&T branded of some sort ( it wasn't before, i'm from Bulgaria, we don't have AT&T here ). So everywhere there is AT&T stuff all around the phone, it boots with the AT&T logo and stuff, my CID is changed to CWS_001 .
So my main problem is that hence we don't have AT&T in Bulgaria, i can't get the OTA update for Android 5.0. My android version is 4.4.2, Sense 5.5, Soft number 4.18.592.7 and when i click the AT&T software update icon it says there is no new updates at this time.
I downloaded the RUU from HTC where it's supposed to be the right one for my phone, followed the instructions but just right after the updater starts, it gives me an error which says that it's not the correct RUU and i should find the correct one. I've searched a lot for the right RUU here in the forum, but i got nothing. Plus i don't really understand the whole root, flash stuff and procedures so that's not an option either. Plese help me find the correct RUU for my phone and install the Lollipop and Sense 6 update

its an ruu.exe, all you have to do is to launch the ruu.exe on your windows computer.
nope, still gives me the same error - that the file is not the correct RUU for my phone = (

I think you need to be at least on kitkat firmware to be able to flash lollipop ruu (at least 6.xx.502.x)
so i should install kitkat RUU and then this one?
