I sure hope it's a fix for the networking issues some of us have.
This is an update for phones that are already running Harman Firmware.
It's already been split into
Bad Boys ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729170

I guess, I thought it was odd too.
This is the name of the file
OTA_M8_WHL_K44_SENSE60_SPCS_SECURITY_Sprint_WWE_Harman_1.54.654.13-1.54.654.9_release_3701048jjkp4ppvgg071ib.zip
dang, i just tried on mine and it said nothing available yet. Did get the new Sprint Touch app icon though which appears to be broken.

By the way, so far this has not fixed my network issues. But I'll try one more full factory wipe and profile wipe in a 4G area on the way home tonight.
The only thing not factory on my phone right now is S-OFF.
Holy crap this is too fast on the updates hahaha

No, you need stock recovery to flash them, not receive them.
What was the final size of the file?
Do we just rename the zip to "System Update" to flash?

You can only run it if you have the stock recovery installed and are running the straight stock ROM from the RUU. If you are running the stock rooted or BadBoyz ROM, you cannot install it.

Kinda hard to tell what changed because it looks like they always patch every single file. Looks like there is a new kernel and firmware.
You can't flash the zip file. You can only update it if you are on the stock ODEX ROM with stock recovery.

If you are truly stock, just download it again. Keep in mind that it will update your hboot so I hope you are s-off.
I doubt the original file name is just "update.zip" and I dont even think it saves to root dir. The OTA update saved to downloads if I recall.

I have had a few people ask me for this, so I extracted an RUU and packaged it.
Make sure you check the MD5 before flashing.
http://adrynalyne.us/?p=41
Thanks adrynalyne, this will come in handy for any people needing to take their phone back to Verizon for various reasons.
Does this help us s-off users?
Depends on what your definition of help is. Only s-off users can use it.
I'm sorry, but I have to ask what the MD5 is and how it's significant. I know that when I flashed FrankenROM this past weekend I noticed that in Clockwork, it displayed that it was doing something with the MD5, but prior to that, I'd not seen it mentioned. I also see that on your website, Adrynalyne, you have the MD5s listed with each of your custom ROMs. Honestly, the numbers and letters appear quite random. What would one be checking for? Thank you.
When you download something, your MD5 hash should match.
If it doesn't, then you have a corrupt or tampered download.
If it does, then you have downloaded the product correctly.
Oh! Very cool! Thank you much.

How do I check if the MD5 matches?
Also would I put the .zip on the root of my microSD and reboot into Clockwork? Or would I unzip and do it through unrevoked 3?
Thanks for this. Might come in handy

The person packaging the file will give you the MD5 hash usually near the download link. You can use a free program called md5checker to verify the hash.
For example the hash for this file is:
MD5: CBE810D1313909B3BF112C7F4A186769
As far as flashing just put on the root of your SD card formatted fat 32 and flash from hboot it will find the file and ask if you want to up date, volume up for yes and after it finishes volume up to reboot.

I want downgrade my phone to 2.1 stock. I have radio 2.05, running skyraider 2.5 and loving it. But I want to make sure I can downgrade just in case I need to bring my phone in to Verizon. Anyways, I downloaded the zip file to downgrade, but when I try doing it from the hboot it reads the zip file but then it says "main version is older" and does not let me downgrade. Can someone help?

Yeah, sounds like something got modified somehow. Easiest thing would probably be to fastboot the phone. You can use mattlgroff's utility located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207384
Choose the "no data wipe" option if she doesn't want to lose any of her data but I would still back up an pictures or anything just to be safe.
Good luck!

from Android Revolution HD blog
unlocking your bootloader wiped /data folder where some htc app like flashlight, calculator and more where in. It makes your device not capable to receive any OTA updates because every OTA update checks MD5 checksum of every file that originally came with your device. So even if you didn't flash any custom ROM and your /system partition is unmodified, you won't be able to install OTA update.

It doesn't mean all files on your phone are stock when checked by ota checksum. Go back to 100% stock and it will work.

Sorry, not sure about the S4 (this is the s5 forum). There are other complaints about lollipop in general, specifically: notification changes, sound changes and priority mode confusion, memory leaks, etc. I would check the s4 forums for s4 problems. It was released yesterday so there is probably some data from other users.

You'll 100% definitely lose root if you try and as of right now I'm not sure if there's a way of getting it back, I'm looking into that right now. Also your /system partition has to be mostly stock. So the update process will likely fail.
thanks for sharing the .cfg. I just tried to install in recovery mode (currently 4.4.2/NCE) and it gave me an error and "no command".
i renamed the file to update.zip and placed it on my external sd card

Ditto here....I now have around 3GB free but just a little frustrating since it took what felt like years to download.

Stock recovery just does that it's no big deal or anything
Early this AM I got an OTA update to 5.0.2 on my M8 HK which also moved the WiFi calling icon over to the right of the notification bar and did away with the persistent notification. The version is 4.25.654.14 and I think there is a new radio (1.09.20.0209). haven't noticed any other changes yet.
HTC has the RUU posted already here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/

Looks like the stock browser icon has changed. I am not sure if that means the app got an update or the stock overlay did. The version I have installed is 7.1.2514183160. I am not sure what's new if the app itself is, though.
There is also a flashlight app that I don't recall seeing before. Hopefully that means they are going to implement the pull down shortcut for it.

I have S-OFF, stock ROM, booted into FASTBOOT, copied the stock recovery.img from 4.20.651.10_full_firmware.zip using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Booted into the OS, let the OTA install, phone rebooted and is now stuck at the white "htc one powered by android" screen after it shows the yellow Sprint Spark screen and plays the boot up sound/tune.
I have since flashed the full firmware using the SD card method (4.25.651.14_Full_firmware.zip) and the old firmware (4.20.651.10_full_firmware.zip) and still stuck at that screen. I now have it back with the updated firmware via SD card flash (4.25.651.14_Full_firmware.zip).
Did I do something wrong? How can I fix this without having to wipe the phone?

I was able to flash TWRP recovery with fastboot then I was able to do a nandroid backup and copy the backup from the phone to my computer. I also backed up the internal SD card while in the TWRP recovery.
Ran the latest RUU, which wiped the phone, but then after it booted and ran the initial setup, I put the TWRP back on and then restored the data partition of the nandroid backup, rebooted, and the phone had all of the apps, content, settings, text messages, etc, (as if I didn't loose anything), along with the latest update from the RUU!

Looks like HTC wants to degrade M8 to sell more M9s. They didn't change much M9 and all HTC lovers don't want to change the device. Hence, HTC making the M8 worse. Never expected such a cheap behaviour from HTC. With the new update batty life sucks, its worse than which I had in HTC One X. HTC how can you cheat your customers for your selfishness!!! checked everything, its Android engine and kernel eatng up all the battery (non rooted factory firmware).

Maybe you are right. But, so long the phone has been stable and the day phone receives the OTA makes it like a charge addicted and battery drains 50% faster than before. Honestly with normal whatsapp, message, phone call and few minutes of facebook access lasts for roughly 5.5 to 6 hours. Let me see formatting the phone.
I noticed that every time I plug my phone into a charger of any sort (wall, car, solar, PC) WiFi turns on.
I am on stock ROM and Kernel rooted, 2.8.6 twrp installed, S-on. 5.0.2 RUU.
Can anyone else rebut or confirm this?
