I just got a HTC m7 801e 16gb version which seems to be for the middle east (dubai especially ) . The phone during set up somewhere states that it is a "test device " and that htc Tell is installed and turned on which helps htc collect information and reports about the phone and can't be turned off. My major grudge is that there is no option for a software update (even under the settings -About submenu) on the phone. The phone comes with:
android 4.1.2 ,
htc sense 5.0
kernel version is [email protected]#1
1.29.1402.25.CL190183 release-keys (build number)
5.12 (HTC SDK API level)
The camera has the horrible purple tint in low light which i just cant seem to get rid of.
Please guys , i need to know if it is possible to run a software update to lollipop or even kit kat on this phone and how i can activate or check for software/firmware update on it since it ( software update ) is not in any options currently on the phone.
Or is it possible to totally root this phone and install a stable custom ROM on it?
Or am i just jinxed because i got a device for "testing purposes" even though it came in a retail box et al ?

I got myself an HTC one m7 last week. It was running on android 4.2 and sense 5.0.
I wanted to update it so went to Settings>About phone. There was no option to update. I've attached a screenshot. A friend of mine asked i should install a ruu file but i can't find a suitable one for my phone. it's the hongkong version of HTC one m7 UL. What should I do to update the phone?
And i am having some mic issues too. Some people who i talk on phone can't hear what i am saying properly. Some forums suggested that it gets fixed when the os is updated
Hi guys,
I have an HTC M7 - Unlocked, not rooted - and live in Dubai.
Yesterday I had a notification that a new system update was available for my phone but since I was not on WiFi, I opted to download later. When I got home and connected to WiFi, the update was gone. Every time I check for new update now, it says that phone is up to date and no update is available although software information says Sense 5.5 and clearly nothing has been updated.
Is there something I could do? Or is this a HTC server issue?

hello..i am using htc one m7..
past one week i am struggling because of one issue from m7.
Issue is when the phone is making exit from " extreme power saving mode" , mobile data automatically getting on. Due to this issue nowadays my balance going to zero only
So pls provide a solution for this
phone details are i am giving below.
android ver: 5.0.2
htc sence ver: 6.0
software number: 7.19.401.2
htc sdk api level: 6.55
The problem is that the WiFi/bt/radio keep trying to turn on and after a long time (in the settings menu, where the buttons for on/off WiFi are located) it says error.
I am located in Ukraine, outside US. I will describe the problem by events in order.
1. Previously WIfi/BT/Radio were all working fine on Kitkat.
2. I Updated my Htc one M7 sprint via fastboot to Android 5.0.2, the official rom update from HTC US website.
3. After update, on the first boot the hands free activation came up. Since I am using a gsm sim, it could not proceed further with the message “Device cannot be activated on a GSM, only On CDMA”
4. I searched for solutions on xda, googled it, with no solutions in sight. Seems like the problem is not common. Anyways, found some loosely related posts on xda that guided,
a) Try to flash the radio with radio flashables. But the solution was not reliable, so i have not yet tried it.
b) That I should delete htcsetupwizar.apk and other sprint related apps from TWRP. Which I did before flashing ViperOne, but it did not work, although I could get into the phone menu but the phone kept rebooting if left untouched, or when power button on the top was tapped.
So currently, my device is running ViperOne 9.0.0, Hboot version 1.61, Radio version 1.01.20.1225, OS version 6.23.651.7, OpenDsp ver 35.120.274.0718
With S-ON
So should I flash the radio from TWRP ? Or consider downgrading the OS ?
Please help. Would be grateful.
