They update will come to the unlocked version first, followed by the M9 and the A9.
As someone with an S-Off'd Verizon 10, I will be able to get it when the unlocked update is out, right?

I wouldnt update anything that isn't provided by Verizon if anything firmware based is needed. I'm sure it will be needed for N.
I'm sure custom roms will be updated pretty quick for us to use tough till Verizon steps it up, we are way behind.
Does S-ON telst001 count as unlocked/international? it isnt locked to telstra afaik

Hey guys,
I've been searching but couldn't find anything that really helps with my problem. I bought an HTC One M8 last year, it was supposed to be unlocked from factory but when it arrived it turned out it was an unlocked AT&T model. Anyways so I tried to root the phone but it was already rooted and running a TWRP (I don't know how this happened as the phone was sealed when I got it) I have no problem with this but as the phone is rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery I can't get any OTA and I'm still in 4.4.2. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me update my device to stock 5.0.1 without flashing a custom ROM.
Thanks

First off, there is no stock 5.0.1 for the AT&T version yet. There isn't even a 4.4.4 released yes (although it might be anytime soon).
Further, you aren't going to receive any OTAs since you aren't connected to the AT&T network. Some folks not specifically familiar with AT&T will disagree, saying the OTAs will come over WiFi even if not connected to the specific carrier. But AT&T is pretty unique in this regard (well, maybe other carriers in the US do it too, but not WWE versions).
You can download an official RUU to upgrade to 4.4.3. Then wait for RUUs to be posted for 4.4.4 and/or 5.0.1. That is all you can do at this time without s-off. With s-off, you can convert to any version you want, and get official OTAs that way (such as convert to WWE version), or run the US Developer's Edition 5.0 RUU.

Excuse me but what is WWE exactly? Ok so my two options are use sunshine to make my htc s-off and convert to another version or flash a custom rom with 5.0.1?
Thanks for your help.

World Wide English. Which doesn't really say much. Its the "international" version sold in Europe and other places.

Nope, your second option won't work. You need firmware on your phone that is compatible with 5.0.1, otherwise WiFi will be broken, and.or extreme long boot times (>10 minutes). And the only way to update your firmware is with s-off (until AT&T releases more updates).
So really, if you want to update now, your only option is s-off.
Ok dude, thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to s-off

If you want to update now, that is what I suggest. I don't see LP coming to AT&T for another month at least, and it might be even longer than that (months). We're still waiting for 4.4.4.
Be sure to check bootloader and confirm if its s-on or s-off (says one or the other near the top of the hboot screen). Since it was already rooted and bootloader unlocked, who knows, you might have lucked out and gotten a phone that is already s-off as well.
Yeah and like you said if I'm not connected to the AT&T network I might never get the update so it is the only option. BTW I checked and it's S-On =(
Thanks for your help.
I have an unlocked at&t htc one m9, I bought it locked to the at&t network then unlocked it.
I'am looking to update the phone using the official rom from htc but am unsure on what one to use - the one for the at&t version of the phone or the one for unlocked/developer phones?
thanks in advance
Unless you're S-OFF, you can only use updates from your carrier.
If you get your phone to S-OFF state, you can change the CID. This will allow you to flash other updates (like the developer version update - often released well before any carrier update).
The downside is that with S-OFF, it is much easier to brick (as in hard-brick - never coming back) your phone. Always good to read and re-read instructions and ask questions before flashing.

I can't help you there, sorry. Check around the forums - the 'sticky' threads will probably get you going in the right direction.
I assume you mean carrier unlocked, not bootloader unlocked. Obviously you haven't converted your device, in which case, you should only flash official AT&T software.
I got the Developer Edition and the only difference between the AT&T M9 and the Developer Edition is
AT&T M9 has AT&T apps and bloat ware, and last to get any ota updates.
Developer Edition no carrier apps or bloat ware and first to get ota updates.
If u don't use or care for all the AT&T apps and want ota updates soon as they drop then go ahead and convert your AT&T M9 to the Developer Edition.

Personally I would root and profit but that's me..
Other option is the 1st answer in this thread, once S-Off you can roll back to stock if necessary.
Well, i got my M9 as a christmas present, thinking that it was the unlocked variant, and when i receive it i inmediately start going through all the updates and when i finish, i asked myself, where is the 6.0 update? so i started diggin, and found out that my M9 is the australian variant, with CID OPTUS001, but the weird thing is that it is unlocked. So i ask, does it mean i wont be able to get the updates first? if the answer is no, then what do i have to do to convert my M9 to the international version, so i can get the updates first?
P.S: i already have experience with rooting, S-off, ROMS, etc on my M7 and i have already unlocked the bootloader of my M9

The US dev edition is the one that got the update, you'd have to covert to that to update it now or just wait for your edition to be updated

See my signature for converting your phone to US DevEd
I updated my HTC 10 to the brand new 7.0. It seems either Google or HTC has totally broken the long pause conference call pin feature in android. (This is where you dial a number and a conference pin separated by a semi-colon like XXXXXXXXXX;XXXXX) The popup asking me if I want to send the Pin number disappears after about 3 or 4 seconds way before the "Beep" when i need to send the pin.
Total deal breaker for me, since I make conference calls ALL day and I'm not going to revert to writing pin numbers on my hand while i'm in the car so I can dial them at the beep.
I desperately need to go back to Android 6.0.
I have lots of flashing, unlocking, and custom rom experience, but this device has some strange quirks like breaking the radio if you decrypt the file system...
Do I just need to use an android 6.0 RUU?
Will there be any issues due to encryption, 7.0 firmware, or anything else I need to be careful of when downgrading?
I am wondering too about downgrading procedure...
I want to know if it is safe using ruu.
I want to convert my international Htc 10 to developer unlocked and flash ruu so I can receive the nougat it's just to try it out.
Can I reverse this?
Looking forward to that answer.
If you're s-off it should be ok I think. But without s-off, downgrading firmware using an official RUU is not possible

I was on Viper 3,5. I converted my cid-mid to us unlocked and installed latest US UNLOCKED MM RUU.exe successfuly. Then I checked the firmware and took the official OTA,upgraded to Nougat successfuly. So I guess you can have Nougat,too.
Now I am on Nougat US Unlocked S-off cid BS_US001 mid 2PS650000 . I am wondering if I could revert to MM with the RUU.exe I have. Do I have to change to Supercid or do anything else,or just the RUU.exe would do the trick?

And when you say you downgraded..
Were you S-Off? (I'm not and since you said you were like ordeniz, I assume you were?)
Were you on the official 7 OTA (with firmware upgraded) or a custom rom built on 7 but without the firmware upgrade? (Again, if you were like ordeniz then you had the official OTA.)
I just wanted to be clear, and not make any assumptions.

OK. Thanks to all.
Guess I need to S-Off. (I hope sunshine works on 7.0) or I'm pretty well screwed.

As of now i dont think sunshine does
The sure thing I know is that you need to be rooted to be s-off. If sunshine will succeed you will know it when the sunshine app check your system. Download the app and before in app purchase a licence will tell you if you have successfull s off.
incallui.apk
Would someone be so kind as to upload a copy of InCallUI.apk from a 6.x Rom.
It's located in
/system/priv-app/InCallUI
Anyone successfully do this? Since having to downgrade the RUU? Thanks

People have and it works when flashing the Verizon radio afterwards, but personally i would just wait for verizon to update. Its always best to be on your carriers firmware instead of mismatched builds.
This will require s-off.
