HTC One E8 - another MM update issue - HTC One E8

Hello Everybody,
I have a HTC E8, from what I see it has CID_059 and in the hboot it shows "mec_dugl". According to the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210 I have the Vietnamese SW version, even though I am from Romania (dunno how the hell they imported it here).
It came with Android LolIipop, I received a small update, made it and now I have Lollipop 5.0.2 installed. Received another update which of course is the interim one before pushing MM. Tried to update and I received the install error "Status 7" and something regarding the recovery.img
I've had some experience with Android ROMs but not very much, can someone please tell me if by flashing the recovery image from the OTA update will fix my current problem and if I will be able to flash Marshmallow? And if not is anyone kind enough to tell me the exact steps I must take in order to finally enjoy the latest update and the following OTA updates? Thanks in advance!
P.S. I know there are similar threads like these however my unit is brand new, brand stock, no rooting, no S-OFF no nothing....just a Vietname SW on a unit sold in Romania (EU) and I couldn't find a similar situation plus a clear explanation of the necessary steps.

[Q] OTA Manual Update advice please

Hi Guys,
I have an unlocked One Mini which apparently works in all European countries. At the moment its on 4.3 but I found an OTA file online named "OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_3.10.401.4-2.12.401.1_release_351632.zip" which apparently is the update to 4.4.2
As best I can, I have cross referenced the phones build.prop with the updater script in the OTA and the relevant versions / model id seem to match. I also found instructions online about how to apply it. A couple of questions:
Could someone more knowledgable than me please confirm which items I need to match up in both files, so I dont make a mistake?
How do I access the recovery menu itself once recovery starts?
I need to leave it stock for warranty purposes, and I underfstand applying the OTA wont void warranty. Am I correct?
Thanks in advance
No one have any ideas on this?
To answer my own question, I spoke to HTC yesterday, it is the correct update for my phone and installs fine

MT7-TL10 update - is it 5.1?

Hi all,
I"m living in Germany, but I bought my HAM7 in January in Dubai.
Today I received an OTA which is MT7-TL10_channel_MT7-TL10V100R001C00B128.
I"m wondering if someone already did that update and whether it's 5.1.
Thanks!
Hi, no this is a previous update.
5.1 is 300B
Probably, since 5.1 is an update and not a full OTA, it will come when you have an intermediate updated version of android. So go on, update to this suggested rom and wait for a following one.
guys
I make it root with kingoroot app and has told me its root your device . reboot it and no root on my device and try to install root checker on play Google and also told me no root

Thanks for your answer, you"re confirming what I found out as well. This update is 4.4.2.
Currently I can't really see any improvements, maybe they are hidden under the hood.
not sure if I got your question correctly. I rooted my device a week after I bought it in January, following the guidance I found in a different place on a German website. However, the process was a bit more complex compared to other devices I've rooted in the past. Especially the way of getting the id-numbers on a Chinese website was somehow challenging. Anyway, immediately after successfully rooting the mate7, I replaced the CWM recovery with stock recovery and from there I did receive the OTA"s which I seamlessly could install.
If your question is more general on rooting the HAM7 you should consult to the other more specific threads here on XDA

OS-Updates after rooting S6

Hi at all,
I rooted my S6 successfully with CF-Auto-Root by chainfire. I am now not able to do an OTA-update within the OS, so I think I have to flash updates of stock roms by downloading it from sammobile.com and flash it via ODIN. When I follow the last advices given in some threads I have to go to http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=sm-g920f and look for the latest firmware released by samsung. But how do I know which one the correct one is? The version always begins with G920FXX followed by U3 or S3. Can anyone tell me the "syntax" of the meaning of the firmware version or the deifference between these two version-trees? Do I have to choose the german version if I bought a german phone, or does it not depend on that?
Again my question in a short way: How can I update OS/firmware after rooting the S6?
Thanx-a-lot for your hints and ideas!
Regards
Clemens

When will the update for U11+ build 1.10.400.23 arrive?

As the title goes, I have an U11+ with build 1.10.400.23 and I'm very curious as to when will I receive an update for this as the software updates shows nothing.
Thank you.
Hi, you can do it manually with OTA on your SDcard. Here is the file for it
Hey thanks for the reply, I have some questions where did you find this and by doing this manually will we have any problems?
Fond it by logging my update procedure and yes, you can't use your device for 10min. copy the OTA on sd and boot to recovery, choose update from sd ...
Will the OTA file work on any U11 Plus? I see it says HTC India in the file name, I have the Taiwanese version still running 1.23.709.3, and it's still claiming there's no updates available. I definitely would not want to screw the phone up by flashing an incompatible regions update.
No you can't, you need the same CID or you could brick your phone
I have the 1.24.401.2 version, is this the latest one? My CID is 034 eu

Installing ROM and Changing Firmware

Good evening ladies and gents,
I got a phone today from Amazon Galaxy Note 10 Plus. SM-N975F/DS.
Got it activated on AT&T which took a bit of trickery but finally got it activated.
So now I am in the process of rooting it and noticed that there are many region specific firmware (you have to use Magisk to patch the firmware (the .md5)). For example mine is N975FXXU6FUCD-MID which was difficult to find and difficult to identify. I have located this (MID) region and its Iraq. As I type this that exact firmware is downloading from SMAMOBILE. I will be flashing a custom ROM within the next few hours. I was wondering tho, since there is no USA Firmware version, will the custom ROM change the firmware thus rendering this entire post irrelevant? Does the firmware matter if the phone is activated and functioning, or is there anything else anyone would suggest? For example should I flash a firmware from perhaps Mexico since its the same continent?
I ask because as I stated above, I am downloading the N975FXXU6FUCD-MID firmware now, and I have to use Magisk to patch the firmware so I just figured I would patch the exact same firmware that is on the phone currently but should i patch a different firmware instead?
Anyway, If anyone has any insight into this I'd love to hear it. Thank you!
