Do you have any friends who are on VZW and have either a Moto X or iPhone 5/5S? The reason I ask, is because those 2 phones take a nano SIM card like the M8 does. When a software update comes out, try using their SIM card in your phone to take the update. That's the easiest way I can think of.

You may still be able to check it while on Wi-Fi. What does it say if you go into settings and do a software update check?

Well you might be stuck then without rooting and ROM'ing your phone. Hopefully sometime else might know. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to s-off and then root your phone to push the firmware update.
the Red Viper ROM
So given that my phone is in the same situation as the original poster, all I have to do is to s-off and root my phone to push the update?
How would the update be done if it's rooted? I just want to update the firmware, I have no intention of adding a custom rom or anything, just whatever sense version is the latest on verizon now

Yes, you should be able to install just the firmware/radios. There is a thread in the android development section specifically for the installation of the firmware/radios. You will definitely need s-off to install them. There is also a thread on that - it's actually really easy. I had my brand new m8 s-off'd and rooted in about 20 minutes.

You realize you can't update a stock AT&T device via T-Mobile, even if you're using a T-Mobile sim card?

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?
AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.
I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.
The Jelly bean update for the HTC One X on At&t was released a few days ago and i have not been able to update for some reason. I Click on check for uodate in setting but i get nothing, no error message or update is available notification. Please help
if it means anything i am using the one x on T-mobile network

You're on T-mobile and wondering why you're not getting an AT&T update? M'kay.

I read on the one s forums that carrier updates are actually pushed out by HTC, not the carrier. It's based on the cid of the phone, not what SIM card you have in it.

Looks like you can't unlock the bootloader through HTC Dev on the VZW M8 Just got mine and tried and get the dreaded Error 160 MID Not Allowed.

Why don't you try firewater s-off to see if the exploit still works? Please report back with your findings.
eidt: devs have said it could brick device, would not recommend doing it.

Not sure why anyone is suprised. Those of us with the M7 knew this month's ago. For the first day after the M7 was released you could use HTC DEV unlock then VZ made HTC lock that down for the M7.
I too hoped maybe VZ had not gotten to HTC yet for the M8 so I tried but no luck. Will need to wait for rumrunner or firewater to be updated to support the M8. It may take a while....

Yes sir. Rumrunner gave you S-Off which is "Signature Off". Once that is set, you can flash custom recoveries and then custom rom's. It took months for the team to get this working and I know it did not work on 4.4.2. I think we are in for a long wait. If you bought this hoping you could get custom rom's you might want to reconsdier. If you like the phone and can live with it stock for a few months, it's a great device.
The M7 was the best phone I ever had and I swap phones a lot.

This phone has an sd slot. The earlier one didn't. Easier to hack from what I remember
Well what about root? With xposed, root alone can provide a lot of nice added functionality before the bootloader is figured out
Just picked up the M8. Tried HTC Dev and failed

What you are needing it not available yet. Also, If you aren't S-off I would be very careful about updating.. Many non-vzw users reporting no cell service after L upgrade due to lack of apn support and they are not editable.

Got My update from VZW OTA on Friday, 3/6/2015 With no Problem. I am S off Unlocked, and it sailed through.
Came in 2 segments. I did however have to go back and do an update search for the second segment, which was over 800MB.
Definately want to use WiFi. Took quite a while to complete.

Sunshine3 when released. Don't take LP 5.01 until S-Off or root may not be possible.

From where you get the APN setting? from your mobile operate?
And are you running Lollipop?

You need to be S-Off for RUU and unlocked boot loader as I remember to gain full root. You can check there are many threads how to gain root.

The only way now is sunshine. You need to do it either you won't be able to get update until dottat make RUU for S-ON users, but I am not sure will you need unlocked bootloader for that.
Hi everyone.
The update to Android 5.0.1 via HTC Sync Manager enable the edit and add APN
The only problem is, LTE not work!
My phone is S-ON and Stock ROM.
Edit and apn ?
What do u mean by enable the edit in htc sync manager and wat apn specifically to add
Maybe contacting Verizon and giving them your IMEI to push you the update

Hey all,
I'm considering all my options with Lollipop having recently released and it brought up a question.
I have a couple trips to Germany coming up. Is it necessary for me to S-off using Sunshine before I'm able to use a German carrier SIM card in my verizon HTC one? Would I just then be able to accept the OTA lollipop and stay stock S-off?
I read something about the VZW M8 coming carrier unlocked, but I find it hard to believe a company like Verizon would do that!
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the reply! So it'll work with S-off, but I couldn't tell from the thread whether S-off is actually necessary to be able to swap carriers. Any ideas?
Bump! Any other ideas?
From more reading, it looks like I HAVE to be S-off and rooted on a custom ROM to be able to use a German SIM card. Am I wrong?
