The HTC M8 to be launched on 25 03 2014

It seems that we finally know the date – 25.03.2014 looks like the day when HTC will launch their new flagship device and the HTC One (M7) successor – HTC One M8 which is rumoured to be called "HTC One+" or "HTC One 2" or just " HTC One (M8)".

About the device itself we know pretty much already. Recently we wrote about the design (The HTC One 2014 (M8) design exposed) and weve seen some popular mock-ups made by hamdir in HTC One 2014 (M8) target renders, a visual compilation of all the leaks. I must say this all looks promising and we still hope to see HTC M8 equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 instead of an already one year old Snapdragon 800 SoC.

HTC decides to skip Android 4 4 4 update OTA based on 4 4 3 security fix coming soon

International version of the HTC One M8 is currently running Android 4.4.2 (1.54.401.10) but this will change very soon. According to the confirmed information, the new over-the-air (OTA) update with Android 4.4.3 will start rolling out late next week for the 0P6B10000 variant of the HTC One M8 with the following CID numbers:

HTC__001, HTC__E11, HTC__102, HTC__203, HTC__405, HTC__Y13, HTC__304, HTC__A07, HTC__002, HTC__016, HTC__032, HTC__J15, HTC__M27, HTC__A48, HTC__K18.

What we know so far is that the update will be tagged as 2.2x.401.x and together with Android 4.4.3 it will bring slightly updated HTC Sense UI (HTC SDK API: 6.25) but the version of the launcher will remain 6.0, at least officially.

ro.build.id=KTU84L
ro.build.version.release=4.4.3
ro.com.google.gmsversion=4.4_r4
HTC SDK API: 6.25 (current latest M8 software is based on SDK 6.17) ---> this might indicate improved HTC Sense version
kernel version is still 3.4.0

Apart from the OS itself, almost every part of the firmware will be updated too.

Hboot: 3.18.0.0000
Radio: 1.19.21331147A1.09G
OpenDSP: 38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311

Why no Android 4.4.4 yet? Because HTC decided to include the security fixes known from Android 4.4.4 in their 4.4.3 release. For some reason this must be easier for the HTC if such path was chosen.

Also, whats worth to mention is that M8 owners who re-locked their previously unlocked devices using htcdev.com, after the Android 4.4.3 update might need to generate new unlock_code.bin token to unlock the device again. Apparently the identifier token wont be the same after the incoming OTA.

There are also some few more surprises coming from the HTC in the incoming update but we cant reveal it yet! :)

HTC One M8 receives official Lollipop OTA update WWE T Mobile

If you were waiting for the official Lollipop OTA updates for your HTC One M8 – wait no more! Today HTC has started rolling out update for the .401 WWE (World Wide English) devices and - which is surprising - for the T-Mobile carrier in various European countries (f.g. 118 - PL, 111 - DE).

Android 5.0 Lollipop is available for the HTC One M8 since few days already - we wrote about it here: HTC One M7 & HTC One M8 Android Lollipop stock system dumps and here: HTC One M8 received Android 5.0.1 Lollipop with the HTC Sense 6 UI but since today the gates are open for owners of the unbranded WWE devices too! Previously OTA was available only for the M8 Developer Edition variant.

OTA package for WWE devices is 782MB (4.16.401.10) and can be downloaded from here.
