I wouldn't expect any time soon.
Virgin is very tight lipped about it which usually means it's still a ways off.
I can't wait for the update, I am excited to see how well it works on this phone.
I'm going to guess October some time.
We should get a pool going on this one and see who wins
I'm still deciding whether to wait for the update or just put another official gingerbread/custom rom onto the phone.
Reason is, we have a way to S-OFF our phones via computer for FREE - which i've already done

I am quite interested in knowing how to do this, so frustrated waiting for this update! Have searched on how to unlock an S-ON phone but no luck thus far

Agreed..Go with the AlphaRevx s-off and root... works like a charm! Now we just need a public CM7!

I'm using a Bell incredible s. I took the s-off and originally flashed the gingerbread stock ruu. Nice to have it unbranded. I'm also using it on Rogers now. It's not hard to do. It can be overwhelming with all the info though. I'm thinking of writing a guide. Attn1 was very helpful in irc even though he didn't need to.

The easiest way to get s-off would be to read the sticky FAQ post FIRST

s-off isnt available. You dont need s-off to flash roms and kernels. You need root and your bootloader unlocked. Plenty of threads about how. look for hasoons toolkit.

This post is a little dead but I'd like to seek clarification at what exactly you can and can't do with S-on/off. It's still a little fuzzier there. Perhaps some concrete examples?

Nice, thanks for the link JoeDoe.
So s-off will be essential in playing with the radio bands, among a bunch of other stuff. Predictions on how long it takes our amazing devs to bust through s-on? (o:
The unrevoked did not give me s-off and other ideas. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
i don't think it is for the One
in time you will probably get it, but quicker and like the One S you'll get radio installers like Tecardo's and MrHydes that require no s-off. Some put the radio into System partition a way to bypass not having s-off
One S has no s-off but with these tools from the devs, no problem

Unrevoked is not for this device. It was initially developed for Evo 4g (unrEVOked). That thread was linked for clarification of ramifications of s-off. Generally you need s-off to update radios.

I am surprised OP did not have issues trying that
Hey there
I recently updated to 4.2.2 and of course it updated my HBOOT to 1.55. Unfortunately now no custom recovery has touch feed back. Is that a known issue or is there something wrong with my device? I am talking about TWRP and CWM specifically.
Thanks

You need to update to TWRP or CWM from the threads in the Original Development forum. The TWRP and CWM found on their respective sites is not up to date with the HTC One's latest touch driver.

Oh wow! I wish I knew that before I went ahead and rooted the device. I did make a Nandroid Backup using non-touch CWM recovery of the stock, unrooted ROM, however. Thank you! I will be installing the latest TWRP in the Original Android Development section once I find it.
Yep, the latest version of CWM-touch on One Original Development works! Thank you.

Not yet - the tool hasn't been released, but users have confirmed that one exists, and when the creator is ready it will be released for the masses.
So when intramorph quoted the OP saying he is on 1.54 he said get s-off while you can but then you can't yet anyway?

That's correct. Currently RELEASED s-off techniques ONLY work on hboot 1.44. Users in other threads (beta testers) have confirmed that there is a solution that works for hboot 1.54 (i think @beaups created it), but it has not yet been released to the public.
Fair enough just gotta wait then don't want to root until I have a way to go back to unroot and locked bootloader. Cheers

Not 100% sure I have seen some Info about some software called 'rumrunner' which can gain s-off on 1.54 hboot? Anyone aware of this and has any info? Thanks

Yes it looks like it's been released on rumrunner's site. The 2.24 builds brought hboot 1.54, so it should now work.

well you have to be rooted and unlocked before you can get soff. if you're already good there sometimes firewater has a problem with the hardware regardless of version date... if you already unlocked and got root try doing it again then trying firewater oncemore. if that doesnt work you might want to try to get a different device from sprint/assurion

Ive found out this...
The HTC M8's are made in different "batches". Each batch of phones they produce will generally have all the same internal parts, from the same parts manufacturer. SOME batches of phones have internal board parts that came from a DIFFERENT parts manufacturer, because HTC ran out of the last run of parts from previous manufacturer. In other words, HTC may produce phones with exactly the same parts, but the parts may come from different manufacturers. So, certain parts from certain manufacturers make it not s-off-able.
This is my understanding, correct me if you think I'm wrong, or you know something I don't.
I'm going to exchange mine and better luck with the 2nd, hopefully it will come from a "good batch"

if firewater doesnt work, maybe the java card method will do, never tested myself, but ppl from the gpe thread (stuck with bootloader locked issue) got their phone s-offed with this method from fonefunshop.com
