Curious after unlock happenings M8Spr - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After going thru the HTC dev unlock, s-off, super cid thread and finally booting back up....<--I did this is after having the phone set up for two days....I got a notification of a software update. I found it strange because it wasn't there before unlocking. I assume I shouldn't take it just like any other phone I've had after unlocking, can someone confirm please?

Hulu App: G2 CM7

How do I get this app to work on my G2? I'm rooted and running CM7 2.3.7. I have an identical G2 with the same program on it running the same mod and hulu works on it. I would be using that phone but the volume button is broken so I had to root this one I have now to replace it. I don't understand why it runs on a rooted G2 before but doesn't on this new one I have. The only difference I see when I go to "About Phone" is the Baseband Version.
The baseband version on the one that works is 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
The baseband version on the one that doesn't work is 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Is this a factor?
Is there a patch? A zip file of some sort or a work around Cyan has found to fix this?
What do you mean "work"? Are you not able to install it or run the app or watch shows? If you can't watch shows, it's probably because you need to have subscribed to Hulu Plus and then logged into the app.

In their defense, you didn't actually specify what was/wasn't happening; they were just trying to get intput in order to help you narrow down the problem/solution.

You can't use the hulu "app" without a subscription.

WOW ... sorry ... I don't know what I said but I didn't mean to offend you.
I've been looking around and there doesn't really seem to be a clear answer for those peoples issues with Hulu Plus.
One of the simplest fixes appears to be turning off any Ad-Block apps you have running. Make sure after you turned that app off that you reboot your phone at least once to make sure that the app is turned off.
A lot of the other fixes for Hulu appear to only be to play it through the browser.

No sign of the OTA here. I've been checking every few hours, but the System Updates dialog insists I'm up-to-date.

You will see the update and it will prompt to install but it will fail because the OTA's are very sensitive to change. They require the exact stock rom from the latest version before kitkat i believe. Since youve removed the Zappos app, it will definitely fail. This is why majority are going back to stock just to get the kit-kat update.
again

Really you just need to use RSDLite to return to stock. Depending on all you have done you may need to modify the .XML file in the image, but its very easy and just uses Notepad.

That's what worked for me. Just edit the .xml in notepad and remove the lines he says PLUS remove the line that mentions .tz. Don't forget that one as well even though he does not list it.
REMOVE LINE WITH .TZ AS WELL.

OK Google doesn't work - how?

How did you folks manage the OK Google from any screen?
I'm on O2 UK, totally stock but running Themer. I enable Google Now and the 'any screen' button is grayed out. I enable US English but still, it won't work and won't register OK Google even 1/3 times, where it needs to be trained. Even with the Google Now launcher, it's the same.
Thanks!

If you are rooted you can enable it to work on Sense6 using exposed framework an the "Ok Google for 3rd party launchers / apps (4.4+)" module.
If this is installed you can enable the function in Google searches settings by going to Google settings > Voice.
If this method doesn't work you could try to use UnleashtheGoogle.apk (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/unleash-google-hotword-detection-t2803261). This is what I'm actually using on my M8 and works just flawlessly. I set it up after a downgrade to Google search 3.5.14 cause google removed the descriptions from the debug flag menu you otain by running UnleashtheGoogle (and believe ma you need those descriptions).

What about trying to S-Off with say SunShine. It will unlock bootloader and S-Off without data loss and you could go right away into installation of a custom recovery and rooting your device. The side effect is that you have to pay 25$ for the use of SunShine.

Unlocking bootloader is where you usually have a complete wipe... SunShine method doesn't wipe??

No SunShine does it without wiping. That's what I personally liked about it.
You get unlock without HTC knowing an without wipe and achieve S-Off.
Okay, trying it now then.

1st: Google has to learn your pronouncing. Did you set en-Us as primary speech and you mother language as second?
2nd don't know. Maybe they have a zip to flash and remove it as well.
3rd hmmm good one too. Doesn't it if you put it onto the extSD?

Ok and 3rd: not enough space to copy it onto internal I guess!?
For 2nd there is an answer found in the project era thread. It says no uninstall instructions, but the OP explicitly tells to run a backup prior to installing the mode for the case you want to remove it later on.

Yea, but it means I gotta go back like a month, lol. I've lost phone speaker sound cus of it hence.
I guess I'm gonna leave it until I have spare time to see all the files it's flashing, and then try to flash my old backed up files. Gah

Have you factory reset the phone yet? Some found doing this helped with the missing options for recent apps so might be the same here. That, or your version of Lollipop doesn't have it...I know mine does on 4.16.401.10 (or did before I went GPe)
