[Q] OTA delay

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.

Can you please give me a link to where i can get this wwe file and how to install it?
I've searched for one and found this

[Q] HTC One Three UK RUU

Hello,
was wondering if anyone could help me find an ruu for my Htc One on Three Mobile UK?
My software version is: 4.20.771.17
Any help would be much appreciated.
Viv

Three UK RUU
Anyone?

This is the only one I can find, you flash it like a custom ROM and would then just have to update as normal after its setup, this will return you to a very early stock rom.
FIRST MAKE SURE CID AND MID MATCH..........

It says it supports OTA's when available, when you flash it make sure you select stock recovery when it gives you the option, otherwise OTA's will fail.

[Q] at&t htc one update from outside the US

Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.

since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks

Has anyone received the update yet?

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...your_HTC_One_M8/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB69195
Doesnt mention Eye Ex. But it says Google security so i guess its 4.4.4

I have yet to receive it. But I am constantly pushing the check update button

☝same here

The HTC Software Updates page shows that the Eye Experience update for the Sprint variant is currently in the certification stage. I don't think we'll get it until a day or so.
http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/#device-content
EDIT: For some reason, the 3.30.651.2 update info was removed from the Sprint Update page.

that is weird

Good news guys! OTA will be rolling out later on tonight!

Take a look through the thread in the link below. You'll need to reinstall the stock Android system recovery before you can take the OTA, and also need to be running a stock rooted ROM. However, since you're S-off you can install the newest firmware and then install a ROM based off the latest update. Beats having to go back to stock and re-root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2888993

advice: returning to stock etc

I gave my mom my old HTC ONE M7, which she loves. It started having the audio problem recently in calls, and I couldn't fix it over the phone troubleshooting, so I had her send it to me. To make things easier in the future, I decided to return to stock so it could get OTA updates in the future. It is unlocked with s-off and I had a custom ROM on it for her.
It had a 1.55 HBOOT version and I read that I should flash down to 1.44 HBOOT and then RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.15...etc) to stock image which I have done.
The phone is now running AT&T stock:
hboot: 1.44
firmware: 1.26.502.15
model: pn0712000
cid: 11111111
So now here's my particular issue. I don't have a sim card that will fit into the phone. My mom lives far away, she kept the card to put in her backup phone while I fixed this one. I can't update the phone on AT&T's network without a sim card, so I can't do OTA updates to get it up to date.
I have done some searching but found nothing definite. Are there no downloadable OTA files from AT&T? If so, i'm assuming every update must be done in order (in other words, i can't just find the latest OTA and apply it, they would need to be applied incrementally)?
Anyone have any suggestions?
If I was to forget about AT&T and go to straight HTC image or Google Edition, (where it could still get OTA) what should I do from here?
I suppose if I can't find anything at all, I can go to an AT&T store and see if they can let me use a sim card or something (I have AT&T as well, the same account as hers, but my M8 uses a smaller sim card).

You can't update AT&T M7 is the phone isn't connected to at&t network but with s-off you can manually flash ota update from stock recovery, and yes it must be done incrementally.

Change your cid to BS_US001 and use the latest dev edition version. You'll get ota updates even if not on the at&t network.

Such a simple, yet brilliant suggestion. I was making it over complicated. I changed CID to BS_US001 and installed RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.16 and the device is now doing OTA updates.
Thanks for the suggestion.

no problem
Even simpler: you could have used a newer RUU like the 4.19.1540.9 RUU and do all ota updates to 6.09.1540.2
Or you could have flashed the latest dev edition stock rom and the matching firmware available in my thread to avoid downloading 10 ota updates.
But the final result will be the same, just a little longer and consume much more bandwidth.
