you can't nor should use the tmobile update, it will brick your phone. if you don't have a ATT SIM to get it automatically you will have to do it all manually.
Beware the update break quite a couple things, including the battery life that gets all out of wack. I am still reading to check if it makes sense to update or to stay in a firmware that can be use as a daily driver with a good battery life.

I dont kniow what have you read but I have 2 weeks on 5.0.2 on my D800 and the battery is better, its true that the UI its a little bit in the laggy side but i have a lot of widges. The update its worthy, the things I miss from 4.4 are the wireless storage (accesible from the togle menu) and the album widget, everything else its ok for me
I update my D800 to 5.0.2 and I really love it.

I did the OTA (using AT&T sim) and hard reset a few times through recovery to ensure everything was clean to start with. Most things work great, but battery life has been strange. Last weekend it was around 80% charged and I put it down. Came back a few hours later and it was off because the battery died. This morning I took it off the charger after being on all night (showed 100%). Plugged it into my computer and it then showed 33%.
I also see odd things in the battery control panel showing estimated remaining battery life of 48 hours sometimes. If I were to guess I'd say it's an issue with battery calibration, but who knows. My suggestion is to stick to kitkat for now until a newer version of Lollipop is released for the G2. If you do go with the current OTA version of KK, a hard/factory reset is highly suggested.

You can try instaling (if you have not already done it) a battery calibration app, for me its not a hardware fault but a software one, hope you can resolve it!

Reviving an old thread but even I have the same requirement. I currently use an unlocked AT&T G2 on Lycamobile (Tmobile MVNO) and never get the Lollipop OTA. It always says the current version is already installed.
My question is, if I get an at&t SIM somehow (does it needs to be activated?), will the Lollipop update show up immediately? Are all the initial issues with Lollipop currently resolved? Is it better to stay off the Lollipop version?

Good day,
Well, my wife has the Nexus 5 and her phone still hasn't got the 5.0 lollipop update by OTA. Which is wierd. I would do the manually image update on her phone. But she doesn't want to loose her game saves and all that crap. I am in Canada. Anyone else in Canada not get the lollipop update yet as well? And is there a work around. Probably a far shot of a question.
Thanks
Lol is everything stock?
my friend is having the same issue
i rooted my buddies nexus 5 and flashed the factory google image for 5.0, now that the patch has come out he wanted me to revert him back to stock
so i took him back to 4.4.4 where he was before the factory image.
he wasnt getting the update.
i read somewhere else that the bootloader has to be re-locked for ota's to work so i did that too. still no update.
Got my nexus today, hoping for lollipop update, and it says 4.4.4 is the latest one :/

Yup. Her phone is stock. Nothing done to it.
I got kind of the same problem. Got my OTA notification maybe 3 weeks ago. I didn't want to upgrade the phone just yet, had been hearing some battery issues and wanted to fint out if it was worth to upgrade.
Today I decided I would do the upgrade since the 5.0.1 has been moved out, I thought that 5.0.1 would take care of the first bugs. But when I try to upgrade it says I have the latest version. I'm on 4.4.4 stock, no root.
I did hide the notification for the updates right after I got the first notifications for it, but I have been checking back from time to time to see that the upgrade was in fact still availible on my phone. It was maybe a week ago, but not anymore.
Does anybody know if I'm supposed to do something to be able to upgrade now, or should I just wait?
Thanks
Should just be a waiting game.

Yeah something vent wrong
I had kitkat 4.4.4 on my neuxs 5 Rooted. so when OTA lollipop came i went back to stock rom and updated My N5 from 4.0 to all the way 5.0 Lollipop.
but i had to go back to Kitkat because no game hacking software is working with lolipop so i wen back to 4.4.4.
Now again i m trying to get OTA update for 5.0 (no root) its not not showing me in update its stuck on 4.4.4. and its says that my software is up to date.
I am from Toronto Canada. I guess OTA update is gone for CANADA.
Lets just wait.

Ya, I don't know why her phone hasn't gotten it yet. I may have to unlock the bootloader and do it manually!!!!

Problem is that if her bootloader wasn't already unlocked, the act of unlocking prompts the phone to erase all userdata. Which is why you should always unlock the bootloader right away with a phone before doing anything.
I've read on reddit, that maybe cause it's 5.0.1 out, we have to wait in line again for it to become available on our devices, the same reason is with the guy who dismissed his notification

Sorry yes it was to you. Because the updates are delivered in batches. If you ignore the update for so long, you go to the back of the queue until it's your turn again.
OTA Update
Hey guys let us know if OTA update working again or not cos 5.0.1 is released i think it should work now...
any one?
this still doesn't explain why my wife's Nexus 5 is still on 4.4.4 and hasn't receiving the lollipop udate as of yet. It's been out for a bit now. This is screwed up beyond beleive!!!

You could always just purchase one those backup apps like Titanium that does not require root and then save everything. This way you could do a manual side load.

It does explain it.
OTA system is kinda of a lottery - either your device is a winner, or it isn't.
Just freaking get the OTA update zip and sideload it. You won't need to unlock bootloader for that.

Got mine a day later, was prompted to update to 4.4.3 followed by 4.4.4 immediately. No 5.0 or 5.0.1 updates yet but my nexus 4 is already on 5.0.1? Guess we'll have to wait.
OTA Update Working now
Hey guys OTA update is working now...
Were you previously under kitkat or did you get the OTA update from 5.0 to 5.0.1?
EDIT: Nevermind (at least for me), tired of waiting, I finally decided to manually load the OTA by following the tutorial here:
http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/b...on-your-nexus-device-download-links-included/
The funny thing is that after my phone was manually updated to 5.0, I automatically received the OTA for 5.0.1
What's up guys so me personally I haven't updated to Android m because lack of root but those of you who had lollipop rooted who went to marshmallow
What is your opinion
well i just did a tot recovery cause i had the "lgsetupwizard" crash issue when i did a factory reset on my device. so i have decided to go for the 6.0 update, don't get me wrong root is very valuable but without twrp i can't restore my device if a issue like that pops up again and i very seldom have access to a computer to be able to recover from problems like these. i went 4 days without my phone because of that bug :/ so i'll be sure to chime in with my thoughts about the 6.0 update once i play around with it a bit.
marshmallow is really good especially when it comes to battery life.
I have had alot of crashing issues, mostly when opening the camera app. also when restarting the phone will boot to the at&t screen twice...... EDIT:
AND SNAPCHAT WTF

So I haven't had any crashing issues on 6.0. The main impression I get with 6.0 isn't exactly better battery life, it's just better stand by time. Knock code now forces 6 taps vs 4 on lp. Permission management is meh. Personally 6.0 w/o root is trash and not worth the sacrifice.
Have had some stutters, a few initial force closes, but have subsided and now it feels more responsive, and battery seems a little more conserved

Got my phone with marshmallow. But it's really nice. I'm really enjoying the phone so far. Just wish I could root marshmallow.
Marshmallow is horrible... I upgraded my phone and they gave me marshmallow, so I decided to downgrade to lollipop in order to obtain root. Without root a cellular device has no use for me... I didn't have root on my device for a few months and it killed me.. Until marshmallow obtain root, I don't see the use for it; that's just my opinion, but who am I anyways ?...

Couldn't agree more!
It aint worth updating to MM until root could be possible. I updated, now regretting. Couldn't get back to LP because it will wipe all the data and I am too lazy to make a backup. Plus, I cannot boot into Recovery/Fastboot mode as well in MM. No idea if its me only or H810 with MM works like that.
Up until about a week ago, my HTC One E8 dual sim (M8SW - China Unicom) had been working perfectly, albeit only running android 4.4.2 as unknown to me when i bought it, it had been rooted and TWRP/Super SU installed (I assume because I'm in Australia and it's a chinese phone... ebay purchase...)
I'm not entirely sure why, but the battery life is now draining literally about twice as fast, and the google play services app seems to be using up a fair amount of the battery. I've tried a few apps (google services fix etc) to try to amend the problem, and have completely reset the phone, but haven't had any luck.
Just wanted some thoughts as to whether upgrading the phone to Android MM would fix this?
I've attempted to do so, but because my phone is rooted I can't get OTA updates. the other issue I have is that I can't get a copy of the stock recovery (the link provided at http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210 does not work...) and I believe I need to install the stock recovery to get the OTA updates. I'm not confident enough to try and install a custom rom and I have no issue with HTC 'bloatware'...
very much a rookie, but would appreciate if anyone is able to help as the phone is great and I'd rather not fork out the money for a new one just yet...
thanks
Hi there! I also bought a M8SW and also from eBay with the ROM in bootloop mode where the previous owner attempted to put in another ROM but failed but that's another story.
Not sure what's wrong with your phone battery drain but I initially finally got stock LP on mine and the battery life was good.
When I saw the MM update, I jumped on it straightaway but struggled to get OTA working as my initial LP was rooted with xposed hence my little journey to get back to stock LP and then OTA to MM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/general/tedious-update-m8sw-to-marshmallow-twrp-t3346318
I would say that MM seems to maybe drain the battery faster than LP but tbh, I love the super smooth stock Sense. Only thing to watchout for is that xposed on MM is not fully working for all the modules. That was nearly too much for me but I have stayed with MM with xposed with N-ify, Amplify, XNotifications and SenseToolBox - all semi working for the bits that I need.
My battery lasts for at least 2 days before I need to charge it. My typical usage is low: WhatsApp, twitter, FireFox and occasionally Music, News Republic and VLC to watch videos.
The E8 still cuts it I think. I don't play any games on it and recently I am using so called Sense8 HTC10 ROM which is pretty good - definitely recommend it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/development/s-team-e8-s4-20-2x-ported-htc-10-sense-t3364650
I'm pretty keen to get a stock version of MM on the phone - provided I can get this issue sorted the phone will last me another year or two at least.
By the sound of things, if I want to get the stock version of MM or LP on my phone, I'll need to convert it to the European model?? is that an easy thing to do? I assume it's just installing a different ROM??
Alternatively, if I download the ROM you provided the link to, I should be able to install this onto my phone and have MM with this different version of sense?
thanks for your help!
I was running Mokee 7.1.1 just fine on PB1 firmware... which was probably my first mistake. (not 100% sure) as of now
phone is currently G900V Kltevzw bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, updated bootloader to PL1 w/SS
I'm having issues getting service when I flash a new rom most of them have no service i've messed with APN settings.
I felt I was a pretty competent user, i've come from flashing and rooting back from the original Moto Droid, I'd like to know what i'm doing wrong
as of now my phone is useless :crying: with no service so i reverted to my S4 lol
I'd appreciate any help and guidance to bring service back to my phone on MM or Nougat firmware which i have been running for a month or so
i don't really know how to help you but I have the same same s5 as your and running mookee 7.1.1 and my cell service still works i dont know if its a problem with the latest update and i have not updated to pl1....so maybe that may give a hint.

Interesting... I may have to set aside some time to do that. What stock version did you flash? Since I'm on PL1 firmware would you think that make a difference as to what stock youre going to?
I'll have to do some more research as to how I should go about flashing stock then unlocking the BL again. Not sure if I can because of my updated bootloader..
I experienced similar issues with my g900v but mine was with texts being severly delayed and crappy service.. but atleast I still had service. I just finally fixed it this morning by completely flashing back to stock (PB1) and rerooting. I used this guide and started at the very beginning: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/

I've already ran a few different roms but haven't really found one I liked enough to stick with. I used Phoenix v15 for a few months then switched to the new 7.1 resurrection remix nougat ROM a few weeks ago. I'll probably go back to nougat unless I start having service issues again. Good luck
I'm still not getting either or one of the two data and cell service. SMS/MMS wont work. Still dont know what is wrong exactly. PF4 updated BL
Not sure if i need to flash a radio or something in odin to get service to work....

It's easy to rollback, just need flashtool and xperiFirm that is integranted into flashtool, CE1 (Central Europe) variant is on Oreo, so you can download that version and flash it. You will lose all you data, deleting everything assures that the instalation will be OK

I succeed with germany version of oreo. I found the ftf file from one of czech website and flashtool recognise that. Happy with this firmware now.
These updates are just monthly security, so I don't thing they would mess with battery life or performance of the phone whatsoever.
The actual build of Pie didn't change from the first one in November 2018, just security updates and thats all.
They didn't even bother to fix the sound issue, that is mostly common reported one.
Regarding WiFi problem, mine works without problems from the day 1 on Pie.

It's so strange that the WiFi works fine on some phones and doesn't work at all on the rest. It can't be a hardware issue since the Wifi works fine on Oreo.
