There no way to know for sure until an ota is available. It works on the m7. Also, there's no RUU yet, so if you do it you're stuck for now and who know when or if there'll be an RUU.

Download 2.3 ruu from HTC website and run that. You keep your warranty while completely debranding your phone with it - if the purpose of this is warranty claim?
Yh that's the purpose I'll try it out thanks.

[Q] How do you get RUU for HTC (One X) phones?

Hi,
I want to know how you get RUU for HTC (I have HTC One X.) phones. I ask because I want to update my phone to JB but I don't want root. I know that's now unavailable, but where you get it when it'll be available? Is then possible to update phone via OTA? Thank you!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
And next time, please post questions in the Q&A, ok ?
Sorry
I'll post it next time to Q&A. I swear . However can you answer my questions?
He has, with a link to the thread with the available RUU's. Once a RUU has been installed then yes you can receive OTA's.

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot. So I have last question - If I install older RUU, will it show me the OTA for JB and will I be able to update it without errors?
You will only get the JB update notification when it is available for your CID regardless of whether you RUU your phone. If you are completely stock now, installing the RUU will not speed up the OTA process for you.

Thanks again
Thank's a lot (my CID_32 got 2 hours ago JB.)
In which case, if you are stock/non rooted then you should receive it shortly

I rooted my phone and i want to get back to stock. (no just for JB update)
Ah I see, I thought you meant you were already unrooted. In that case then the RUU will be of use to you. Make sure you download the correct one for you CID/region from the link above

Help with HTC S Off

I did everything right and now I'm stuck with Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader but I can't turn S off I want to install customs ROMs. Ugh. I do the Firewater method. It works fine up until last step a ns tell me sorry you will never be able to unlock me

As far as I'm aware, not everyone's M8 has had success with S-Off, yet. I'm sorry to say, you may be one of the unlucky ones for now. Hopefully something comes along that will work for everyone.
I would just add that you don't need s-off to use custom Rom. Just go and flash away.?

Yep much better than the crap we put up with on the One S.

[Q] Updating firmware with S-On??

Hi,
How can I update my M8's firmware, when I am S-On?
I want to be able to flash the new 4.4.3 roms, but need firmware update.
Since there is no OTA with the firmware, can I maybe use the 2.12 system dump/firmware file??
Any help appreciated!
No. You can brick your phone, wait for your ota, or shell out $25 for sunshine. It says over and over must be Soff. Not trying to sound rude but don't you think they would tell you how to do it without soff if it were possible.

a similar question... i just bought my htc one m8 (GPE) and it came with 4.4.4, i tried to gain S-Off but with a Mac its an enormous pain in the ass...so after 6 hours of trying, i gave up and rooted it without s-off and flashed LiquidSmooth and it works perfectly. I still have S-On. Does this mean i can flash other 4.4.4 firmware without having to worry about bricking the phone or gaining S-off?
Being gpe you can flash any gpe or aosp Rom. You need Soff to get back to sense roms. Mac is easier than Windows btw. No drivers needed. Just adb and fastboot. Firewater may not work.

thanks for your help, i really appreciate it!

[Q] HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1

HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1. Please help.
Do you have the right stock recovery installed?
Did you modified the system files in any way?
Files like build.prop or platform.xml?
UniversalKID thanks for reply. I didn't make any modification in any file and how I know about the right stock recovery?

What do you mean not updating? Are you waiting for an OTA? Since you are S-Off, I'll assume you are running a custom ROM. It won't happen unless you are on stock.
But since you are S-Off, just update your firmware, and flash a Lolly ROM.
I want to use stock lolly ROM but through OTA downloaded 5.0.1 but at time of installation, I am not able to upgrade on lollipop.

S-On I suppose? For OTAs, return to stock with the instructions and downloads in this thread.

Do not tell someone to S-ON when they're not 100% certain they're stock, plus you don't need to be S-ON to update.
OP, can you get a shot of the actual error you're seeing? Up to now you've not really described the error very well

I wasn't telling him to s on, I was assuming he was s on.
I should have been more clear in my post.
Ah, OK. I can see how it can be read that way. My bad!
