HTC states you will receive lollipop on SIM free HTC One devices within 90 days of its release. Expect it in January sometime.
If you are locked to an operator, it could be much longer.

For gpe I would say this side of Xmas. Sense Jan/Feb

Lollipop builds on XDA now. Official gpe due any day.

Hi

I've asked this before but didn't get round to doing it at the time.

Does anyone have a guide that will bring my rooted HTC one m7 back to unrooted state so I can receive the lollipop update when it's released.

Thanks

MM

Getting the correct RUU might be tricky, depending on your CID, so you might want to get s-off to change it (I used this to switch to GPE): https://dulpitlearns.wordpress.com/2014/10/27/how-to-s-off-htc-one-m7-the-idiots-guide/

Good luck!

Cheers. If I can't figure out my RUU, can I update to Kit Kat or Lollipop without knowing it?

There's ways of fixing it. If you want Lollipop this week, you'll need to switch to GPE. If you want Sense with Lollipop then you'll be waiting until January. When released, there will be ROMS available within a fairly quick time period that you'll be able to flash if you don't want to go messing with the un-rooting process...

Cheers, any links to a good guide for installing lollipop this week?

For M7? Not available yet, should be dropping Friday for GPE. If you follow this guide you can convert to GPE ahead of time (you'll be without Sense and root, and at 4.4.4): http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/turn-your-htc-one-into-real-htc-one-google-play-edition-0147731/

Gone back for repair,second issue ive had after mic packed up 6 months ago.

capefear · 21-11-2014 11:29PM

Hi guys

Sorry if this has been asked before. Have the htc one x about 24 months and lately the phone starting rebooting itself and now this evening has died and won't turn on. Anyone know how to get it going again even for a few mins to copy over the data.

Cheers

Testament1 · 22-11-2014 02:53AM

My M7 has started getting on my nerves a bit lately. Heaps of lag and the capacitive buttons stop responding at least once a day.

delynet · 22-11-2014 04:33PM

@Testament1 I had the same problem and did a full factory reset and phone is now as good as new. Bit of a pain backing up data etc... but well worth it

Happens to mine quite a bit too. It could do with having a bit of space freed up, but I've also noticed it seems to mainly happen while syncing.
For no particular reason, I'm blaming Facebook.

Another warranty question.

For those that have previously sent there phone back for repair. Did they do so through their network provider or HTC? If HTC was it Ireland / UK / Europe they contacted?

irishbuzz · 24-11-2014 12:02PM

Sorry went back a few page and found the answer to my question:

Another person that wants to unroot my 3 HTC one m7.
Any idea what RUU I should be looking for. I have rooted phones before, but never gone back to stock, so not really sure what I am doing re RUU/CID etc

Actually just an update, all I have done is rooted the phone to enable SU. I haven't flashed any roms (that I remember) and all I want to do is to take the OTA update that I am constantly being reminded about but can't install because I have a custom bootloader

Should have said if you are lucky enough to get a new M8 that its takes a nano sim as opposed to the micro sim in the M7, not a major issue.

stephenmarr · 26-11-2014 10:01PM

Lucky you guys that received an M8

I sent my M7 away with vodafone {for purple camera tint}who send it on to HTC on 17th of October and 4 weeks later got back a clearly refurbished M7 which had been sent back to vodafone in an unpadded envelope.

The phone had damage to the sim slot, plastic stuck between screen and side body and a small dent beside the power button.

I refused to accept it they send it away again and im still waiting.

Really disappointing service.

Im onto the management everyday to find out whats happening.

As a good will gesture they wiped this months bill but they will have to do better than that.

beardo81 · 26-11-2014 10:08PM

Question guys.

I have my phone converted to GPE and also have had it opened, dropped it in water once and had to dry it out so took casing off. Looks a little worse for wear but working perfectly.

My problem is I have the purple haze camera issue, what are the chances of HTC repairing it for me?

Not very high at all, there are small water sensor yokes in the phone that change colour when come into contact with water, they're gonna open it up, see the colour change and send it back as water damaged.

You'll be very very lucky if they do fix it

True, I'll just be without a phone for 3 weeks. If I can root out a spare one I'll give it a shot!

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/install-android-4-4-4-kitkat-c-rom-htc-one-m7-tutorial-605145

trying to follow these steps to get kitkat on my htc one.
I'm confused a bit after step 5, i don't understand why i'm entering commands into my PC once the phone is disconnected.

Is there a point after that were i should reconnect the phone to continue?

Also, do i need to download the SDK/ADF kit so i have folders to move the boot.img into?

I'm sure you've figured by now, but at step 7 you should reconnect your device.

By the way, you should seriously be using xda-developers.com for this type of info, plus you'll get a lot more support.
