Ota 4.25.651.18 - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Got a prompt for an update to patch the stagefright vulnerablity, but it says it also includes bug fixes, performance and stability improvements and added features.
I doubt its 5.1, I'll have to RUU to stock to take it, but wanted to ask if anyone already did.

@OMJ have you heard anything?

Jumped the gun ... Non 5.1

Thanks for sharing, I guess I'll go back to MIUI now

Hmm, I just did the OTA. It looked like it flashed okay, but now I'm getting a weird error message when using motion gestures. Says "Motion Launcher is unavailable because an update is still being installed. Please enter your SIM PIN to finish the update process." No idea what this means or what I should do...

only that it exists, sounds pretty minor...I'll have the HK OTA soon, if someone can upload the non-HK OTA, so I can update the firmware thread...

i have the ZIP downloaded of the OTA untouched for the HK edition 4.25.654.14 to 4.25.654.18
it just a a security fix, the ZIP file is about 26MB
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u....25.654.14_release_446342sl35jgyctdkwklc6.zip
NOTE: If you're updating with this ZIP, YOU MUST NEED THE STOCK RECOVERY, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY!
Petition: if anyone can make it flashabe via TWRP i'll be thankful all my life!

If you want to update, you need to flash the original recovery to update the phone and then reflash the custom recovery.

That much I understand. But I don't want to update with this OTA if it will reverse s-off.

OTAs will never reverse S-OFF, at least I have never heard of one doing so....I guess technically it could, but HTC does not have a history of doing that. You have to enter a specific fastboot cmd to go back to S-ON

OTA update
I received my OTA update and accepted to install but it goes to TWRP and then I am out of luck. I unblocked my HTC One M8 HK edition using "Enabling 3G (UMTS) in all the countries" somewhere on this forum. Any alternatives: do nothing, wait for a developers software, etc.?

ICS for the Velocity released today!

Telstra has finally released ICS for the Velocity today.
Maybe this will help with further ROM developments. Just need to find actual file as it was an OTA update.
And how do you know that? Do you have any source?

I sware there was a way to take a screeny with sense? forgotten how to do it.
Can anyone pull the OTA out of the phone and upload anywhere?

with Winrar on Windows, you can split one big file into small ones.
BTW, which HBoot version you are using?

yup know how... though it only seems to be 210mb.. does this seem small?
Ill delete and redownload.
Just received the OTA update notification 10 minutes ago.
I'v only had an android for 1 month, and only rooted last week, so essentially i'm a total newb.
could somebody confirm that I won't have to learn how to 'relock' my phone to update ICS OTA?
One last question: Will updating to telstras ICS rom prevent me from unlocking/installing a custom rom later on?
Confirmed by me.
Screenshot of update...
I have the zip file on my PC too!
I have split them into 14 files, and I am uploading it to media fire now

New Update? [Stock GPe]

I just got an update to JWR66Y.H1. Am I late or does no one else know what I'm talking about?
Download was 15.1MB but I didn't even think to logcat and I've lost root. I just put it back to GPe stock recently, so I'm wondering if I'm just late to this update. Anyone want to chime in?

I also just received an update for my one it's 2.24.401.8 . it said something like mini + support and Google keyboard support... file was 32 mb big but I own the sense edition here in Germany

I have pushed this and then used the stock recovery to load it and has worked fine Thanks, saves me waiting for the OTA.
I've flash the update via CWM 6.0.3.1. Its work fine on ne GPE Rom. I must reflash the SuperSU, because it doesn't work after the update.
But my Kernel wasn't updated to "3.4.10-gd58931"... maybe this update also includes this kernel version not.

Then does the OTA Update do anything if you flash it with CWM?
Has anyone posted a stock system image from JWR66Y.H1 suitable for flashing with CWM recovery yet?
I know, I'm being super impatient I didn't have any luck flashing the full conversion, so I'm just running CWM Recovery + a Google Edition system image. And I want my updates! hahah.
Anyway I saw BlackJelly posted a lightly modified one, but I was wondering if anyone had done a pure stock one yet.

This is obvious to advanced users but just so you guys have a heads up if you flash this you cannot use the current RSD lite package to go back to 4.2.2 stock before the update. There is a bootloader change that won't allow that SBF to flash anymore.

Does the bootloader change affect your ability to unlock it through their website at all? I'm assuming it shouldn't but just making sure.

Wouldn't think so, I just think even though you have an unlocked bootloader they don't allow a downgrade on it. Partition 2 will fail to flash and no go past that...
That being said....if you still have the ability to fastboot images you can probably just flash the old system.img and boot.img and get the phone to boot with the old firmware...that might not be correct though, probably should have a pro affirm that.

If bootloader is unlocked you can flash anyone you want any time... If not you're stuck (until you unlock). If it changes the bootloader then I'm sure the exploit which allowed root in the first place has been patched.
P.S. Why is this in development?

Yes, this is a full, flashable rom. As for Knox, this does not include the new firmware so there is no Knox to be tripped once you flash this.
Even if you ARE on the new firmware though, you have already tripped your Knox flag to 0x1 just by flashing a custom recovery, so flashing this rom will be an after-the-fact matter anyway.
Omg thank you Cnexus!!

Your the man CNexus thanks so much buddy
Thank you so much, Once you pull the firmware from an OTA device, would it be a just firmware patch flash, or would it be integrated in the rom and have to reflash the rom? Coming from HTC and we were able to just flash firmware separated from rom. Don't want to assume it's the same for samsung. Thanks again
Nice brohta, thank alot man

Unfortunately we cant get firmware flashable right now its a patch update so theres no way get a flashable firmware without having to change the boot chain buddy ill give it a month or 2 and we will have a flashable firmware to use but its all in the rom as of right now

I'm sure someone will come up with the flashable for that soon. When they do, it will just be the firmware, not an entire rom since they are independent of one another.

We CAN make a firmware flashable, it will just be more tedious than pulling from the OTA.zip like before. The firmware partitions from a 4.3 OTA'ED device will need to be pulled using su and dd like so:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/<firmwarePartition1> of=/sdcard/firmware1.img
dd if=/dev/block/<firmwarePartition2> of=/sdcard/firmware2.img
...
And so on for the rest of the firmware
Because once the OTA'ED device boots up again, it will have the patched firmware, so we can just grab it from there and make a flashable. Just one more step really since they decided to patch instead of updating.
Ok I will get that for you buddy so you can do what you do best

I just tried to install on a clean wipe on twrp 2.5.0.2 and i got a failed install. MD5 checks out. Just made sure and its a match with the zip on my phone with the MD5 on Android File Host. IDK what's up. I will try with a different recovery and see if that helps.

Could you post the recovery.log? It's in /tmp/recovery.log
I think I probably know what the issue is though if it's failing

would i get that after trying to install (fail), then booting up my phone with my current rom? or is this done within twrp?
i'm content with 4.2 but might just wanna flash the latest
Is there a big difference? features/performance?

New OTA update on June 2nd

I'm receiving it now (regular S6 owners claiming the same too)!
It is still 5.0.2 just the memory leak/performance/fingerprint/etc fixes and enhancements as well as the promised rotation fix.
Unfortunately when I click "Learn more online" it doesn't do anything (yet).

Done!
Same here, but I can't figure out how to take screen shots. Rooted so all I can do is upload it. Where does samsung download otas to, same as HTC?

Does this update kill root?
No idea yet. It's about 272 mb. If it isn't uploaded by tonight I'll upload it when I get home.
Coming from an HTC M7 that was rooted and s-off with an unlocked bootloader, how can we install the update if rooted, other than Odin back and risk no root after?

I believe if we get 5.1 then it will kill root, this update just bug fixes. I will wait till we get a rooted update.
I was willing to test if taking the OTA would break root. Unfortunately I've tried twice to take the update but it keeps failing. Not sure if I have something frozen that is causing the installation failure.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I downloaded the OTA fine, it just fails when it tries to install. I'm not using odin.
so how would we get the update? wait for a rooted version?
Took the OTA and it does kill root. I tried both the beta 5.1 and the beta 6 versions.

It may only temporarily kill root, the app will have to be uploaded to include the new firmware model. .. it may be slow to get updated, since I have seen pingpongroot updated in a week

I posted to pingpong's thread, gave him the new build #, and asked him to update if he is able. So hopefully he can get it done soon.

You just need to load your build prop file and provide the link and OTA model number

I notice that someone has already uploaded the build prop file for the S6 (non-Edge). Will this suffice?

correct. or you can accept it ota (assuming you have a fully stock rom) and take the risk of not getting root back.
