All VZW m9's shipped with the latest OS. We have not received a single OTA yet, therefore what you are looking for doesn't exist (yet). Once it hits, you will simply need to get a copy of the otapkg.zip and run it from your SD/internal storage to update.

No i am not S-OFF yet I believe the unlocked bootloader isnt available for VZW M9. The only way right now is by using a java card. Is there another way?

Thanks for the update! I came across a few sites online which mentioned Verizon has released the camera update. Any idea when will it be available? Also, are the manual update files available for verizon , and if so where can i get them??

Hello there XDA Developers forum.
I got a HTC One M8 on contract with Three (UK) and was immediately disappointed with HTC Sense, and so, followed a YouTube guide to convert my standard HTC One M8 into a Google Play Edition HTC One M8. This guide included S-Off, and allows over the air updates. Also, the Google Play Edition ROM that the guide recommended I flash to my phone is not rooted, so the end result that I have is pretty much an exact replica of a Google Play Edition HTC One M8.
I am certain the over the air updates work, because before I "converted" my phone it was on 4.4.3, and after it was completed, a few weeks later I was promoted with an Android notification to upgrade to 4.4.4, which just worked without any problems. On the notification it even said "4.4.4 for your HTC One M8 Google Play Edition" despite my phone not actually being a "real" Google Play Edition model.
My question is, will the process be the same when Android L is released? IE, When Android L is released, will my phone get a notification like before and just be able to update like normal? Or since it's a pretty big update, will I need to flash a new ROM onto my phone? I'm hoping the over the air updates will take care of it again, but hoping someone could provide me with some info.
Thank you very much in advance everybody.

you'll be prompted, and depending on your setup will determine if you should follow through or not. (stock recovery, untouched sys apps, etc)
@marshedpotato - please could you provide a link to the YouTube guide you followed for conversion? Thanks.

I would not follow any YouTube guide, but the RUU guide on this forums. Don't have the link at hand though, as I'm not at my PC at the moment. Just search for it on the forums.
Following a video you'll never collect the proper knowledge of what you are doing and thus most of the time don't know how to solve a problem if one occurs.

I've been stuck on the verizon s3 for a couple of years and I finally bought a new phone. Naturally I had to get the developers edition of the HTC One m9. So I am wondering if their is a specific forum for our phones? Or do I just flash a rom according to whatever SIM card I'm using that day?
Also even though it was purchased as a developers edition, can flashing the wrong kernal get me stuck with a locked bootloader again?

Your in the right forums for your Developer Edition M9, Are you still with Verizon ?
I have a bit of a repository for the DE stuff here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28823
Any of the Roms in the Developer forums will work fine on your phone, I have tried Leedroid / ViperOneM9 / Stock with Goodies / and ARHD
with no problems.
I would be interested in knowing how you can get Verizon to work on a GSM phone if that is the case.

Awesome, thanks for the link!
I am still with verizon! tried the vzw sim to no avail and so far my m9 is just looking pretty. am still using my vzw s3 with no power button. I may go out today and get a t-mobile Sim card. I am definately dragging my feet because verizon does have the best coverage. But I will also find out if I SIM unlocked the s3. After the power button broke I went crazy with a few dialer code apps and I got to a point where I could manually input APN's. If that's the case I may invest a few bucks to have it fixed.
I was looking at you nicely organized repository and noticed you had a copy of the stock recovery. May I ask what you used to back it up?

LeeDroid is a nice Sense based Rom, lots of tweaks and very stable/bug free and includes his own custom kernel

Just curious, what rom are you currently using?

Anyone know if I already get them to the developer edition the update 1.40.401.8 ?????
Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure what you're asking.
If you are asking about the 1.40.xx than as far as I know it is firmware for the international version. However you can flash it in Order to run some custom roms. I'm currently using it on my dev edition in order to run viper one.

i see so theres no way to update the firmware if theres no official update? also I cant see any thread that has compilation of firmware of their respective courier
Because you're looking at the wrong place.
Verizon, search in verizon thread.
Same goes for Sprint, search in sprint thread

For Verizon, really NO.
But I'm thinking VZN will update soon. It was scheduled for Jan. Which is obviously not the case, but hopfully soon. Sprint is now rolling out.

My warning applies only to Sprint and Verizon variants, which support CDMA (have different partitioning from non-CDMA versions). You cannot install other versions firmware to Sprint and Verizon variants.
You can install international firmware to the AT&T version m8 with s-off (may need to change the CID, MID depending on whether the firmware was hacked or not).

Hard to say, there isn't enough info to answer this definitively/properly.
If the version has a MM RUU, the easiest solution is probably to run the RUU (will wipe phone).
Hello Guys,
My HTC wont get the update to 6.0. Can you please help? Thanks to check pictures.

Mine is not updating either gets the first part of the two part update it installs fine but then nothing else happens and it says the phone is up to date.
Guys... Unlock bootloader, install Twrp recovery using fastboot, install Stock MM by @xXminiWHOOPERxX and it's done
Thanks, modaifallah, I have had that rom from xXminiWHOOPERxX and it is good but because it is pre rooted it wont take updates. Still want to be on stock and get ota updates, I am thinking that perhaps that because the first part of the update is called interum maybe my carrier just hasn't made the second part of the update available yet and only have that first part ota at the moment, will contact them today to try and find out, still uncertain after talking to htc and my carrier as to which one actually provides the ota updates, they both just want to refer to the other, call htc and they say talk to your carrier, call my carrier and they say you'll have to talk to htc.

This is disappointing... HTC Desire EYE won't most likely recieve any more updates. Its cousin One M8 won't recieve Android N.. From an official comment from HTC. So the desire eye also won't recieve it being far less popular than M8. We will only have the custom roms option for future updates. So.. If I were you I would stick to miniwhoopers rom. Good luck.

The Verizon branded version of Nougat for M9 is not out yet (AFAIK) The version number above is for unlocked devices....
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/htc-one-m9-update/
I'm pretty sure you'll know and see a ROM and RUU here on XDA once it gets released.
There is an unofficial port of that release for use on Verizon M9's here:

There's no official Nougat release from Verizon for M9 as of yet.
There's a brand new rom from two well respected developers just hit though,
should work for all carriers, it has Verizon in its setup options.

I read on post below that "you cant flash 4.x RUUs if your phone is currently using a 3.x (or any lower) firmware."
my device is 3.37.605.7 so in the other word i can't update it to 4.49.605.11 RUU in the post above?
i'm sorry if my question have obvious answer, but i want to make sure and not bricked my first android.
