I just got a HTC m7 801e 16gb version which seems to be for the middle east (dubai especially ) . The phone during set up somewhere states that it is a "test device " and that htc Tell is installed and turned on which helps htc collect information and reports about the phone and can't be turned off. My major grudge is that there is no option for a software update (even under the settings -About submenu) on the phone. The phone comes with:
android 4.1.2 ,
htc sense 5.0
kernel version is [email protected]#1
1.29.1402.25.CL190183 release-keys (build number)
5.12 (HTC SDK API level)
The camera has the horrible purple tint in low light which i just cant seem to get rid of.
Please guys , i need to know if it is possible to run a software update to lollipop or even kit kat on this phone and how i can activate or check for software/firmware update on it since it ( software update ) is not in any options currently on the phone.
Or is it possible to totally root this phone and install a stable custom ROM on it?
Or am i just jinxed because i got a device for "testing purposes" even though it came in a retail box et al ?

Anybody can help ?!!
My Samsung Galaxy S2 came with a 4.0.3 Android version (Ice Cream Sandwich) .. Although it's the newest version, but I feel that it's not compatible with my phone ! It causes many problems such as force closes on FB application, Whatsapp, turns off suddenly, etc .. In many occasions, I had a black screen while being in a certain application then getting a message of "This application is not responding" , then goes out of it !
I know many people who got the S2, but none of them had it with the 4.0.3 version .. All of them had it with the Gingerbread version which seemed to be very stable and lovely ! Every one got surprised when I told him that I'm having such problems, knowing that I got my new phone since 2 weeks only !!
Moreover, when I go to "About Phone" feature, then to Android Version, Baseband version & Kernel version and these stuff .. they are all "off" and not enlightened as the situation is in the Gingerbread version !!
What's the real problem ? Is my phone rooted or what ? Please Help !
Its most likely rotted

download root checker to quickly see if you're rooted or not. If you are, flash over the stock rom. If your not, find the guide to root your phone and then when thats complete, flash over the stock rom.
You write it's a new phone only two weeks old. Did you buy it in a store, then go back and make them repair it on warrenty. Just in case it's a defective motherboard or so. If you bought it privatly, you probably have to do as PakAttack1994 says, check if it's rooted, and flash another ROM, and you schould be home clean

Hello,
I am confuse on how to update my HTC One S right now, since I have rooted my phone with SuperSU and have TWPP v2.4.3.0 .
The software update kept popping up in my phone and is really annoying for my HTC One S T-mobile.
How can I update my phone? since when I choose to update, it restarts my phone and went to the TWPP screen and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm new to rooting phones, so please help.
I want to get the new software versions and other new things for my phone.
Thank you.
EDIT:
My Andriod Version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense Version : 4+
HTC SDK API: 4.63
Kernel Ver: 3.4.10 SMP
Hey all,
Recently got a "New" HTC M8 off ebay and believe something to not be quite right.
I have absolutely no option of "System update" to try and get an OTA update (it should be under "About" I know but it isnt).
My wish is to update it to Marshmallow stock.
I tried the HTC RRU with the only listed file on their website (this was htc/us - I am in the UK and cannot seem to find a UK version) but it failed repeatably with an error. Thought I had bricked my phone but luckily not.
The software infomation is;
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 6.0
Software number 1.54.651.8 (google shows it as a rooted custom ROM?)
HTC SDK API Level 6.17
PRI Version 2.62_003
PRL version 00000
Kernal version [email protected]#1SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version 1.09.20.1112
Build number 1.54.651.8 CL326598 release-keys
Does this look right?
If it has indeed been flashed with a custom ROM I am really pissed at the ebay seller for this "New" unused phone in a box. I have checked the SN and IMEI and seems to check out OK.
What are my options to get my phone to a stock ROM able to get OTA updates?
I am pretty PC tech savvy but have no clue on phone rooting/flashing.
Thanks in advance,
Ricky

hi all, my girlfriends phone is an htc one m8 bought on ebay from china and cant update and is glitchy and slow and freezes a lot, it says its official software and hasn't been tampered with, can anyone help please?
Hi !
Check the HTC forums https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8 and also find the correct variant , there are few , then be sure you`re running the latest official update , if yes then , no updates
If not , the OTA updates that I assume you`re trying to get follows some rules based on location , servers , number of attempts to check for updates etc
Try to use a VPN free solution and change to other location , check the system update
On the same forum , in the General section you may find a tutorial about how to manually update your device
Good luck !
