Too bad the AT&T USA update is MIA still.

it could be for next month

The RUUNhad been up for a few days. i updated my Sprint A9 last week. 6.0.1 running good here.

Ok, wow they put out an entire RUU for that version...thanks. But, this is just apparently the 7.0_g version, which the Unlocked US Users have had for about nearly a month already from what I can tell, with Sprint's bloatware added of course.
Not sure what is different between this and the US unlocked 1.56.617.1?

Not everyone has the unlock version

Countdown to official 5.0

According to Mo Versi, the update is on track to be approved and hopefully released within the next couple weeks. Yes we already have lollipop roms but none of them work like a proper ROM with the correct firmware. If nothing else, the release will be a boon for custom ROM makers too! Anyone else getting excited?

I haven't personally but I've seen other people who have but no dice.
This is from the official HTC twitter account which confirms what I have been saying all day...
@JJHughes13 (1/2) While #HTCOneM8's on T-Mobile and Sprint have seen the update rollout, Verizon only just passed TA. We'll share news once
Another tweet from HTC.... @armyman035 The Lollipop update for the Verizon HTC One M8 has passed TA and will be rolling out to users this week.
The htc web site now shows the LP update is in stage 4 final but nothing showing on ota ? Verizon stop screwing with us...
Verizon always last to roll out any ota updates.

What is the unlocked G920T?

Best Buy sells an unlocked version of the G920T - http://goo.gl/bk4ukE
It's not T-Mobile. It's unlocked and has no carrier bloat - just the usual Samsung stuff. It shows "4G" for LTE. (Edit: Correction - after the OTA referenced below, it shows H+ and LTE)
It came with 5.1.1 out of the box, build ending in COG3.
It had a 272mb software update immediately available that took it up to the build ending in COK1 and added the Android Security Patch Level line showing 2015-11-01.
Just curious how this model fits into the other unlocked models (f, i, etc.). Did Samsung simply take the T-Mobile model and sell a variant unlocked with no T-Mobile influence?
Sorry to bump this but I'm seeing a few more of these in the wild now and trying to figure it out. It's gotta have the same internals as the T-Mobile variant since the model number is the same, I'm assuming anyway? The full model is SM-G920TZKAX, but the packaging and phone just shorten it to T. The T-Mobile model is SM-G920TZDATMB. I guess knowing what the letters after G920T mean would be helpful.
From what I've read it appears to be a unlocked version of the T-Mobile variant. Can't find much information about it.
I purchased the unlocked version from Best Buy yesterday for $450. Rooted it and could not be happier.

What method did you use? I'm concerned about doing any mods due to not having the right software to flash back to (which we don't have right?).
I used the follow root method:

As for going back to stock, you can always use smart switch, or ODIN back to stock rom.

It's been so long on a Samsung device... no idea what smart switch is. Need to do some reading to get caught up. Thx
Smart Switch replaced Samsung Kies, which replaced Odin. Welcome

I just bought this yesterday as an open box for $380. I was worried that is wouldn't have LTE band 17 for AT&T as the normal 920T is listed as missing this band. The Best Buy version does have band 17 and I'm connected on it now. Very happy with the phone so far.

you can also see the specs for the phone on Samsung's website. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920TZKAXAR
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900),B3(1800),B4 (AWS),B5(850),B7(2600),B12(700),B17(700),B20(800)
Firmware?
Love the phone with no carrier bloatware, would have preferred 64GB but I can make due. I would like to root it but not without having factory firmware to fall back on. Even though it's a 920T it's has no T-Mobile apps so I'm pretty sure I can't load a T-Mobile ROM on it. If anyone runs across formware for a SM-G920TZKAXAR PLEASE let us know. TIA
Does this work with Samsung Pay?
Has anyone tried getting this to work with Samsung Pay? I saw on a Slickdeals thread that it will not work ... would love confirmation.
Also, and I know this is a very, very slight chance anyone will know this, but -- will this work with my old, granfathered T-Zones data plan?

Yes. You can load T-Mobile firmware onto it. You just get all the TMobile extra stuff. Thats the same "unlocked" model sold by Rent A Center.

Currently this variant is awaiting official upgrade, most nougat roms are not going to work fully as call audio is broken, you may need to wait till official update is released to have all functions.

Updates for European models?

Since I rooted my A9 (but made a system backup) I have no idea if a new update is out for European 2GB ram models, so I dunno if I restore the stock system and recovery to update.
Is the update still 6.0 or we finally got he 6.0.1?
It looks like the new US update made the camera even better
No 6.0.1 on my European model.... HTC is doing well in the US but maybe a bit too slow in Europe.
Yeah it's weird, it looks like HTC sold much more A9 in the US than Europe perhaps, or they are putting all their efforts on the M10, either way they lack software programmers employees as they can't work on 2 phones at the same time. I have nothing to complain with my A9 but if there are some new customization option and better camera algorithm...
HTC priority has always been the US compared to Europe.. That's why they sell developers versions of their handsets in the US only..

I have the European model and I'm still under 6.0.
HTC should, at least,push updates for security patch.
I want the camera update
I have to RAW edit all my photos on PC because HTC uses a too high jpeg compression (or NR) loosing details, perhaps the 6.0.1 update has a better jpeg treatment

The M10 is coming in April even May!
The thing is that US models got the 6.0.1 for weeks now so they just have to adapt it for European models, ce n'est pas sorcier

I can't agree more with you... but the A9 is running smooth like that maybe it's why. Hope that I'm wrong...

Yep but if the new camera improvements are nice and it can give xposed compatibility, why not?
As well as compatibility with the incoming custom Rom, as a tester I could flash it but because of FW differences (6.0 vs 6.0.1) it won't work.
6.0.1 update is now available for me

US version, firmware question.

Only have phone for a few days, no issues. Checking firmware versions available at Asus site, the one I have is not shown.
1906.5-0 is the one I have, no OTA updates available but too afraid to try newer versions available on the website.
Any other US version on this?
Shouldn't this be a normal WW version firmware wise?
Thanks
I'm on August security patch. That's most recently. Just updated after next day when I got the phone.

Ok, I'm sorry for the useless thread, for some reason it did not received any OTA but went ahead and did it manually and now is on the latest, I was just scared due to the motherboard issues.

I'm genuinely loving it, the only "cons" I've found so far are the weight, the provided case being too slippery.
And the most stupid and funny was testing Cerberus when it takes a pic of you when you introduce a bad pin/pattern too much.
The cam raising and hiding by itself is very stealthy, lol.

Let's hope this helps with battery life somewhat
Mod, please move this to general section. Apologies
That's great news, was a bit worried about security update coming back to Samsung.
I think the battery is acceptable 4 to 5 hours screen on time, no dark mode and on high brightness.

In my experience, AT&T will be the last US carrier to upgrade. Just use Frija and get the latest built from another US carrier, like TMB for example.

True. TMB does have a very slightly newer build (AUGB) than what came on the AT&T version but it still has the July security patch.
