Originaly targetted for begining of 2016 but since there are no news since then I would assume the answer is Never!
I am in the same struggle and I made the mistake to purchase it few months ago.

Hi guys
I contacted HTC customer support asking them when the HTC ME would receive the promised Marshmallow update. They replied saying that there are no more upgrades planned for this device. So seems like we are stuck on Lollipop forever. I am terribly disappointed in HTC. It is an unethical company which doesn't seem to be able to keep its promises. No wonder they are doing so poorly in their market shares globally and trailing behind the competition. I am definitely not buying any more HTC devices. And this comes from a loyal customer who has been using HTC phones all his life. But I guess it serves them right. A company that cannot keep its loyal customers is bound to doom.

HTC told me its coming to both variants but other than that there is no evidence.
Same here, they told me it's out for a while and maybe I should wait for the OTA to show up, but it's just a lie. There is no 4.0.4 for the VilleC2 at the moment
Patience is a virtue
I realized a bit too late that my One S is equipped with the S3 snapdragon... (I havent even known it had different versions until now) so I successfuly soft-bricked my recovery =/ I've found the stock RUU so I can restore it, but...
I ADVISE ANYONE AGAINST TRYING TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS ON ONE S VILLEC2 (S3) JUST YET.
There's simply no point to it, because there aren't any roms available for now. Be patient ;]
True, modding potential on S3 are just garbage..
Even if we get 4.0.4, Im guessing we wont be seeing 4.1 on our devices

I really hope we will see 4.1 on VilleC2... the hardware is more than enough to handle the OS
How long time lag between up-dates of S4 and S3 processors can be? 1 month,2...
Doesn't HTC care about its customers loyalty? - after they sell device with old-fashioned engine by the same price (genius decision ), they also deprive us of service.
With this "devil-may-care" attitude I doubt that my next device will be HTC-made.

I don't think it was a bad decision... the S3 is strong enough even to handle JellyBean, and you get more battery time.
Altough they should've notified the customers =/
4.0.4
I'm starting to loose my patient waiting at least 4.0.4 update. Abt 4.1 ... I don't think abt this, just if, but just IF one of pur colegues will have murcy ta modd one for us.
4.0.4 will land on S3 soon couse s3 version is not just for poor arias like taiwan and serbia and so on but whole europe have s3 and s4 version at the same time and many people dont eaven know that thay have s3 version. And if you concern about jb ...we will get is couse HTC loosing market and thay do anything to hold down thay custumers by the way s3 version is still great and fast phone.
Here in Romanai also no upgrade, but I'm sure that we will all get it sooner or later
I sent an e-mail to HTC about update to 4.0.4 and this is the answer I got (I have no idea why it's in czech - thang god for google translate...):

Hmm starting to piss me off but not to bad because loads s4 still don't have it OTA.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I don't think the S3 will get updates at all. Who cares about Updates besides of us? I know a ton of people who don't care about updates and have their Sensations running with 2.3.7 or their Desires with even older ones.
I'm really ready to accuse HTC if they won't release any updates for this phone!

You answered your own question. S3 owners are a minority, no offense. Accuse HTC of what? Most people don't care about software updates. Sorry.
Sent from my HTC One S running ViperOneS!
yes that's right .most people don't care about software update .but we (users of villec2) we ddidn't even knew that there was two variant of htc one S until bought it .
i feel like i got sucked but i have to live with it .
Did somebody ask HTC about the date of the s3 update in Germany?
Here is my entire online chat with a HTC consultant that I yesterday!
Please wait until an agent is available to assist ...
You have been connected to Romeo.
Customer: Hello
Romeo: Hello.
Customer: I have a HTC ONE S bought from Orange
Client: S3 processor version of course
Customer: and I want to know when if there will be updates for the S3 version
Client: because users with the S4 version already received ICS 4.0.4 and HTC Sense 4.1
Romeo: Can you please give us your full name, your email address, a phone number where we can contact you and your phone's IMEI? You can get this code by typing * # 06 # on your phone.
Client: IMEI
Client Name:
Client:
Romeo: I wish to inform you that this update has been released for phones manufactured in Asia.
Romeo: For mobile manufactured for Europe this update has not been released yet, it is expected that in the next 1-2 weeks.
Customer: So I understand that S3 phones will receive the update to ICS 4.0.4 and HTC Sense 4.1 in the next 2 weeks
Client:?
Client:?
Romeo: No matter the type of processor.
Romeo: Your phone is a phone manufactured for Europe and this update will be available as I said.
Client: I understand
Client: I will wait for the update
Romeo: Perfect.
Romeo: You can help with further information?
Customer: No thanks
Romeo: You're welcome.
ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 will come to S3 it's just a matter of time!

Any news/rumors on an update?

Just curious if anyone has seen any news related to a new Verizon OTA being in the works to fix some of the bugs introduced with 5.01. Haven't personally seen anything about it but one can make a pretty easy assumption that at some point we will get another OTA.
HTC wouldn't need an entire update to address the bugs introduced in Lollipop.
App updates through the play store can correct the messaging app and keyboard app bugs.
I'm just about quite sure we will get an update to Sense 7 with Android 5.0.2 or maybe 5.1. The HTC One M7 was updated to Sense 6 shortly after the One M8 came out with it. You'd think HTC would want to use Sense 7 as leverage to milk sales, but they didn't seem to have that attitude last year. It was more like, "Okay, the M8 is out, let's get the M7 up to speed." The M7 even got a couple updates before the M8 did, but I forget which. It wasn't a huge lead, but it did happen.

Yeah, u guys should consider yourselves LUCKY lol . Verizon M7's STILL don't have lollipop .. still running on 4.4.3. ...Yet every other carrier m7 have it already..
Big Red last to the party as usual...
Why would we be LUCKY? We're a generation newer. If anything, it's the M7 users who should be "LUCKY." If you were a Motorola user, you wouldn't get updates, period. If you were a Samsung user, your updates would end when the new model began. If you were lucky you might get one six months later. HTC committed to 2 years... They gave the M7 a year and a half. 5.0.x will be the last update... The VZW M7 came out in August 2013, so it got about a year and a half of updates. The M8 came out in March 2014, so we'll probably get updates through September or so.
But you know, Samsung can afford to lose fans. They probably don't care. Motorola, too. I have heard (and don't doubt) that Samsung SPENDS more on marketing in a year than HTC MAKES (profits, earns/grosses? I don't know) all year. HTC is the underdog here. They support Google's no-face-buttons design while Samsung is clinging to the iPhone form factor. HTC uses memory cards while Samsung (and Motorola) do not. HTC is making really nice looking (and sounding!) phones that should be the BASE MODEL at Motorola or Samsung. HTC is acting like they have money to spend, and maybe they do, but if we want them to do things companies can do when they're doing well... We need to support them. If you can afford to buy the next HTC One, buy the next HTC One. Encourage your friends and family to buy HTC. You probably won't make much difference just on your own, but if we all did it... who knows. Especially if you go to places like Android Police who suck up to Samsung and take pot shots at HTC whenever possible, and offer a little CONSTRUCTIVE criticism on that (I'm not a good one for this... I'm an @$$, I just call them Apple Police), maybe they'll change their tone, I don't know. But we're facing a duopoly of Apple and Samsung, and we need to support a third party... especially when the duopoly partners are making the same phone as one another. We should fight for options, especially if we think they are superior.
Hmm. Ya I think we will see at least one more major update for our phones before they abandon us for the m9. M7 users best days are probably behind them at this point.
Isn't this the beauty of Android??? Open source, rooting, modding etc..??? Being able to run custom ROMs on pretty much any Android smartphone out there? I have my old Droid RAZR sitting in a drawer at home that had 4.4.4 on it before my brand new HTC M8 last summer. Still keep it updated as a backup and still works perfect. I would imagine the same is available for the M7, so I doubt the M7's best days are behind it. Now... maybe official support via VZW or updates from them are done, but that's where XDA and the bunch step in.
I just flashed an AOSP 5.1 ROM

does the HTC U11 plus receive updates?

Hi I understand that the HTC U11 plus has treble support which is supposed to help it with updates and security updates, do owners of the handset see it is being updated monthly like the Nokia phones or that its security updates stuck without any support?
Thank you
Still on December 2017 for security update..
There was an update about 2 weeks ago, however the notification bug still isn't resolved.

I wonder Wasn't the treble support meant to facilitate the process of updating the phone? If its stuck with the December security patch then what's the point of the partitioning... I think it's shameful for HTC unless there's another way to look at it?

yep, no updates really.
Nokia on the other hand keeps on sending updates with impressive timing - every month there is a security update
ok I had a chat with an HTC representative and he said that HTC releases security patches on a MONTHLY BASIS for the U11+ and the problem could be with UK versions of the phones, he said if people have an IMEI number he can check more relvant information, I don't know if it's something which people share freely but if someone is willing to share with me their IMEI (maybe on private?) I will go back to the representative and bug them for an answer why are there no security updates

mine is still on dec 2017. im really disappointed i dumped my oneplus 5t and bought this device .
Mine as well still Dec 2017. Feels like HTC aready abandoned the device.
Seems like this was the first and last device I bought from them.
It looks like HTC had once again abandoned its loyal users.
Too bad, like you said it will be the last device from HTC for me
Hi thank you everyone. Is anyone willing to contact HTC support and ask them what's going on with the updates? When I tried contacting them I had no device so couldn't get the full help, they claim that they DO update their devices and receive the latest security patches from Google... Maybe its different outside Taiwan?

what is your security patch level - Apr 2018????
I m from Malaysia and still with Dec 2017 patch. I have also send to HTC requesting to release latest update as soon as possible, unfortunately they respond with the guide how to update and the guide to use sync manager. I guess HTC Support just trying to push me away with the guides. I have the impression that HTC Support thinks that all users are none technical and doesn't know how to use their phone. The impression i am getting is no updates coming soon for HTC.
Two times but can see that security patch level still are Desember 17
Htc is doing everything to get us away from them in the future.....and I thougt LG has a poor support...
Poslano z mojega HTC U11 plus z uporabo Tapatalk
Nothing to do with EU or HK variant of the phone , it's HTC being poor with updates. Last time I contacted support they said the latest update would fix the notification bug.. It didn't!
In the UK I read a news article about how poor HTC were with security updates, think they were one of the worst companies for failing to update.
I've had HTC phones for 12 years, brand loyalty if you will, however this will be the last. HTC market their phones as premium, they even charge premium prices yet the support is some of the worst and it's not getting any better.

I hope HTC doesn't ditch the device as U12 is coming soon. I bought this with the hope that HTC will at least send security updates. I have the phone bought in India, made in Taiwan, running 1.24.200.4 and still on Dec'17 security patch. Didn't expect this to happen on flagship phone.
Man definitely my last HTC device. I am simply waiting for a better device than this but at the moment nothing is better in my opinion especially with the ugly notch phone designs and pricing. I will be definitely back to a Google device, the longest device I ever owned was the Nexus 6p and that's because of the developer support and system updates.
One more thing, I will never own an lcd screen device, I have a light bleed which is pissing me off and can't unsee with every boot of the device. My model is a HK model and I am not staying there so I can't send it for maintenance. By the way I am still on December security update which is a bummer, this device has potential but HTC is screwing up our experience with it. How do they expect future buyers to buy their devices if they can't listen or satisfy their current ones?
Contacted support to ask about the lack of updates. Here is their full reply (translated to English of course):
As soon as an update becomes available, the device will load it. Users cannot update the device manually. Please be patient.
That's it.
I guess that also answers whether they will ditch the device with the U12...

Thanks for the update, when I got this device I expected the lack of updates so I am not that shocked, I don't care that much for security updates but I do for major updates like Android P and after, I think I will hold on until Android P and then "Hasta la vista baby" ?
I got maybe 3 or 4updates since Jan 2018. These are enhancements but no one here knows I think what's inside. No change log was given in updates. Security wise - we are still on December and 8.0.
HTC were never famous for speedy updates. They tried and failed. On the other hand, U11+ is not a flagship. It's 11 and a half product and as such it does not seem to have a lot of attention from HTC. You will be better waiting for U12 if you want HTC...

HTC U12+

So it got announced this morning and it looks like HTC spent all their research budget on cameras!
The only differences i can see
1) dual back and front cameras
2) snapdragon 845
And thats it!
Interestingly still on android 8.0 but they have promised an Android P upgrade, so anyone holding out for 8.1 update i doubt that is coming to either phone.
Cant see any reason for any u11+ owner to upgrade, smaller battery and tiny upgrades.

Slow down Dj Moha !, doesnt matter what we do with our phone's, because we pay lot's money for it and we only want a decent support an updates, even just we use the phone for play or hit to someone in the head with it! That is our problem, if you dont want to claim right service its your problem and dont come to give us lesson's about how to use our phones
I'm not going to ditch a 3 months old great phone for a very similar one, that's for sure: I just hope U12+ ROMs or at least software features (see edge sense 2 or HDR10 support, in example, or Android P should HTC forget about us) will be easily ported to our devices by HTC itself or by some kind XDA developer, both being so similar spec-wise.

Please use a better translator, because I can't understand what you are saying. By the way how is age relevant here being a kid or a grown man doesn't matter, from your writing standards it seems you are indeed a "small kid" .
When you are paying a flagship price you should expect a flagship device treatment at the least!
I don't want to argue further because it's a waste of my time, what I stated earlier are valid points so unless you have something to counter those points I suggest you move on. If you don't understand why updates are needed then I am sorry there is nothing further I can say to change your mind.
Personally when i brought the u11+ i knew htc wouldnt be as good as other providers. They did just sell half their already cut down phone team to google. Its a matter of resource. If HTC have thrown all their software team into android 9 and the cost of android 8.1 that is fine by me. Assuming 9 comes out at a decent time compared to other providers.
Let's hope HTC will keep their good track at releasing major updates for flagship phones then!

That's a good thing IMO, since I bought the U11+ for the great cameras.
Hope HTC keeps up with their good work building practical and high quality phones. I am looking forward to changing to another HTC flagship next year.

Dj ignorance, you seriously have issues.
Ignore this guy, his people feed on anger, ignorance and useless online fights to feel manly.
HTC proved they can make the best hardware hands down the U11 PLUS is amazing but, Not getting any updates while even note Fe and s7 from almost 3 years for example gets the latest Samsung experience is really frustrating

Hi guys, since I don't have an U11/U11+, to be honest I never even had a HTC, I'm pretty interested in this device. How is the bootloader unlocking procedure with HTC devices? Is there just the official method through HTCdev or is there any other unofficial method (exploits)? Last time I fiddled with custom ROMs was with my Nexus 5. I had some tries with an Axon 7, that resulted in two RMA trips. I'm about to renew my contract and want a new device. Right now I'm between S9+, OP6 and U12+.

What about warranty? I read somewhere that, here in Europe, they cannot deny me warranty service when it's software related. Is it true?
The main issue holding me from buying a S9+ in that pesky knox e-fuse! As long as I can roll back to factory configuration without flags for me is essential!

If you have problems, even with unlocked bootloader, which has nothing to do with unlocking/rooting/modifying, then it should be no problem.
Warranty is no problem here, at least not in Germany

What worries me is that it's needed to register to HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, right? And they could use this information to deny warranty services

HTC , Android 9 pie update status (finally)

Hello guys ,
Eventually the date of the update was clear. Congratulations for HTC. I had hoped to get the Android Q update.

We want to share the release schedule of the Android Pie updates for #HTC smartphones. Please note, certain regions & carrier deployment may affect these dates. U11 rollout will begin late May, 2019; U11+ will begin late June, 2019; U12+ will begin mid-June, 2019. Thank you.

Hello guys ,
Yesterday on Facebook shared the post about the update status on HTC official page. But after 5 minutes they wiped. I copied this post.
We wanted to share with you the status on the Android 9 update.
HTC is currently working on ensuring the update is compatible with our phones and we anticipate a release to customers of U12+ and U11+ models starting Q2 of 2019.
Please note, the exact timing defers to the mobile operators' availabilities in different countries.
What do you think about this?

Not really sure but the news today said that HTC is now negotiating with some companies in India for selling their brand. If so, it is no ground to post that message in the FB.
I do really hope my U11+ can get pie.
Only problem with that statement for UK anyway, the U11+ was only available from HTC direct. So mobile operators would have no input or changes to make. We've all been waiting long enough now they really should be releasing information.

Back in February, we wrote about the disappearance of the HTC Mail app from the Play Store, but it was quickly restored. More recently, we received a tip about the Sense Home launcher also vanishing, but closer inspection shows that a total of 14 HTC apps have been unpublished in the last three months.
Looking at the latest HTC Corporation activity in App Brain, we can see that the Sense Home launcher and contacts app People were unpublished just this month. 12 more apps, including Calendar, Dot View, and Speak suffered a similar fate in February, while the Mail app that went and then returned is once again conspicuous by its absence.

What can we except form HTC? Are they dead? New skin? RIP HTC?
Potentially dead. The Pie update is very late now. They seem to be moving away from phones too. I have a feeling we may not get Pie as HTC concentrates it's resources else where. This is the first HTC phone I've been truly disappointed with and will certainly be my last. Already looking to one+ for my next phone.

Reach out to HTC and ask them for the source code, easy to build a pie/q rom and even keep up community support long after.

HTC don't pay me to do that though do they? If you bought a laptop and Asus or Apple chucked you a CD and said, you're getting no updates so there's the source code, fix any driver compatibility issues, flaws in the programming or security breaches yourself would you be happy with that?
I've paid them for a phone on the understanding I'd get HDR and Android updates. It took almost a year to fix the notification bug they created and they have pushed zero security patches other than those included with an update.

Yep, how truly i still hope it will get better honestly i am loosing my hopes i had. I've been using HTC phone even when they were creating phones under the name Qtek. Always stood by them and was always an enthusiastic supporter but i truly - with so much pain - believe it will only get worse in support. Although phones still rock this baby will almost certainly be my last HTC phone where presumably i too will be moving over towards OnePlus..
It is really sad but perhaps better, since I don't think any brand really can survive against the money Apple and Samsung are spending to buy customers.. i hope they will survive with VR..
I've been with HTC since the Touch HD so not as long as you. Back then they were innovators. The HD2 showed a phone could run two os and then we had the m7 with ultra pixel camera ( although the pink tint issue was a big problem) and the m8 led the way again with camera tech.
HTC promised updates within 90 days when they initially streamlined the amount of phones they were going to produce and now present day with no updates, finally a post stating there will be updates beginning Q2 and then nothing...
They can't completely blame it on carriers as the U11+ in Europe at least was a HTC direct phone. So where's the update? No where close is my guess. It seems they just string us along in the hope we get bored.
I don't agree that companies can't compete with apple and Samsung. There's plenty of smaller manufacturers doing a better job than HTC and in that sense HTC deserves everything it gets for failing it's customers.

True, although it didn't succeed both Sony and LG where perhaps LG still has a position, but Sony left the battlefield quite quietly its a pitty and indeed was so much fun with the HD2 and M7. Both i still have and both still work where the HD2 is running MM. Had it even with Windows Phone 7 running.. ahh what the heck, OnePlus 7 pro looks great, so perhaps a worthy replacement.. presentation is 14th May apparently.
The only thing putting me off the oneplus 7 pro is the pop up selfie camera. Not sure how I feel about it. Other than that it seems a decent spec from the leaks we've had. Not long to wait though and with nothing forthcoming on the HTC update front looks like I may jump ship before it gets pushed. This has been by far the worst experience I've had with a phone provider and I can't recall ever wanting to get rid of a phone as quick as this one.

I'd say that an absolute lack of any info - not a single leak - about their next phone is a pretty good indication that they're out of the smartphone business. And therefore lack of the update is also highly likely, though... even if they sold off their smartphone department the new owner might conduct it (if the code is already more or less created) for the sake of keeping the image.
Anyway, that's for 99% also my last - though only second... - HTC, even though that's a nearly perfect phone for me and I don't care much for updates (especially with those newer Androids that seem to differ less and less). Why then? Well, last time when I was that satisfied with a phone - with my previous One M7 - I kept using it for over 4 years, and would likely continue if it wasn't for the battery. Now I've had the U11+ for over 1 year - and I don't think there'll be any new HTCs in 2022. Sad, as I can't see a proper alternative right now, so I have to hope for something really new.

Sadly HTC use mushroom communications at best these days
Sorry guys, HTC had been disappointing with support and updates. I have to ditch U11+.
Personally I think HTC had ditches us the loyal supported without providing any security patches since 2017. This make us all expose to all kind of vulnerability possible, too bad.
I am wishing those that still think that HTC has a chance coming back, good luck guys.
I don't think anyone is under any illusion as to what's going to happen. Android Q is already in beta testing for about 13 manufacturers and HTC can't even release Android Pie. Once I've found a new phone I like I will be jumping this sinking ship.

Wait for "Late June"
Finally! The update will come. It would be nice if it actually comes from Android Q. Waiting for Pie to come after Q
Definitely won't come with Q, and a pretty poor show from HTC. Probably being the last to roll out Pie when they used to say updates within 90 days.

Pie update in Taiwan, soft bricking some devices https://www.droid-life.com/2019/06/05/htc-pulls-pie-update-for-u11/
Brilliant HTC are far behind everyone else in releasing Pie and when they do release it, it screws up some phones. Very generous of HTC offering to fix phones borked my their own mistake. I mean really! That's the least they should be doing.
