I can't exactly remember when it started doing this, but I have noticed a pretty large decrease in battery life due to this. Is this the download manager? I have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, but I haven't put superuser on. I still get the notification to do the update that rolled out a while ago, but I can't do the update because A) Custom Recovery B) Won't be able to get s-off if I want to, as of right now.
Essentially, if my phone is on for 9 hours it's been held awake for 9 hours. GSam battery app used.
Any ideas?
Iirc htcdm is what handles the ota's on the phone. Just flash a custom ROM to fix it.
And BTW, even if you did return to stock and accept the ota, you could still s off your phone, since you already have supercid.

Running latest ota rooted. When i do an update check it doesn't give the no updates available message, just returns to the check/status screen. I did ruu the 3.14 update but not the 4.0 one. Just thought it was weird since i normally get a message saying no updates avail.

This happened to me a while back, rebooting the phone fixed it.
Same after 2 reboots. Hope it gets future updates.
Same thing happens to me, even after a full reboot. Maybe it's a network thing.

Are you running a custom recovery? I've heard if you are on amon ra or similar recovery and not stock, then it won't let your phone update. Also if your HTC dev unlocked is another blocker. Must be stock to get ota's.

Mine is doing the same thing now. Stock, S-on.
stock rooted. well, not too worried then, as long as it isn't just me.
Stock ROM, Rooted and Unlocked.
Phone did the OTA update from today (5/2/13), rebooted to the green android, progress got to about 3/4 done and the screen goes black, battery was full charge.
Phone will not come on now, no button combinations work, computer (odin or toolkit) does not see the phone.
Are there any other options that I can try?
Did you do a battery pull?

Multiple times, still nothing.

Stated that in the OP, battery was full when I started the update. Only took it about 5 minutes before it went black, so I know the battery isn't the issue.
You may have bricked your phone. You're not supposed to run the update if you're rooted and unlocked, something about it not being able to update with a custom recovery. I almost made the same mistake.

I had put the stock recovery back on it before letting the update even download.
It's bricked..
Yeah it's dead.

Oops missed the full battery line in the OP. How did you put stock recovery back? Did you return the phone back to stock?
By the way can you even get into Download Mode by holding volume down+home and power?

Used Note 2 Toolkit to get stock recovery back on it (using Odin) but had left the phone unlocked and rooted.

Gotcha, I never use toolkits so didn't even know that was an option. Well guess you know now to nut take an ota with a unlocked phone. Kind of strange it won't enter Download Mode.
I saw in anther post that are making Verizon send you a replacement since you bricked your phone, so I guess this thread is pointless now

Yeah, is kind of pointless now, but again, the keyword was should have a replacement, knowing Verizon, I will likely get screwed. But if I can somehow get this one back up and going, I can tell them to cancel it.

Same exact thing happened to me . Chk this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249146
Only way to recover is a RIFF / JTAG . I even tried the 300 KOhm and 301 KOhm jig to get it into Download mode and nothing ...... So its def a *REAL* brick that needs expert equipment or a factory service.
On my previous phones that were rooted and had custom recovery installed I would never get prompt for an OTA.
I read a few warnings saying don't accept OTA with root on this phone.
Do you get prompt even with a custom recovery installed?
Yes, if you freeze I believe SMD it will stop it. Thats the app that stopped it on the GS3 and I think thatll stop it on here too. An easier fix is to flash something like Cleanrom or Beans, you get extra features and you get rid of a lot of the annoying crap. You do have to be unlocked to do it but that's fairly easy to do.

Thanks for confirming. I was on cleanrom on the gs3. Nice to see things work the same. I most likely root tomorrow... Just got the phone a few days ago.
HTC always finds a way for me to buy their phone when I want to upgrade. First the Fuse instead of 1st gen iPhone, then the HTC MyTouch which was rooted till Jelly Bean, Now the One instead of the S4.
HTC always gets me with build quality. After all the hype and hoopla i still have an HTC.
Can someone tell me why I should root my phone. Any new features?
Ive watched dozens of vids and nothing has really SOLD me on doing it.
When I rooted my MyTouch it was like Night and Day. I just dont see that much of an improvement when my phone is rooted.
Thoughts?
The only two phones I didn't want to root were the Nexus 4 and now the HTC One. There is nothing I need more than what came out of the box.
I unlocked ,my boot loader and installed a custom recovery to play with ROMs ,etc.
This way I'm now on 4.2.2 and my HTC logo functions as menu, and I have several sleep and wake options where as before I only had the power button on top for that. There are several other reasons Its beneficial but in the end its all personal preference.
HTC One - Unlocked, ARHD 12, Bulletproof Kernel, Several mods.

Only thing is, you couldn't go back to unrooted stock even if you wanted to. The file isn't available..

Yes. Yes you can. You unlock the boot loader install a custom recovery and BACKUP the stock rom before you root it.
Simple as that.

Thanks ingenious and yahooz,
I would root in a heartbeat if battery was an issue. Out the box this phone is a beast and battery life is ridiculous.
I'll definitely give it a go as long as I can back up the stock.
I've watched numerous vids and some options interest me but haven't pushed me over the edge to do anything.

No problem.
Just make sure after you unlock the boot loader and install a custom recovery, do a backup in recovery prior to flashing the zip to root. Also copy it to your PC for safe keeping. This way if something happens or you want to return to stock for OTA, you can simply restore the backup, reflash stock recovery and even relock the bootloader if you wanted. Granted by default it will now say relocked in the bootloader but that's no big deal.

So you're saying you would be able to restore it to the exact condition it was when it came out of the box? Unrooted, Stock Recovery, etc..
I had seen someone else say you couldn't do it, but sounds like you're right

Yes you sure can.
You can restore the backup you made of the OS that's not rooted, refresh the stock Recovery and lock the bootloader. It will then be back to stock. Only thing that will show is in the bootloader it will show RELOCKED as opposed to LOCKED

Well then, technically I am correct and it would not be the same as stock unrooted out-of-the-box. And yes, they can tell.

Considering you unlock the bootloader through htc development, I figured you knew they would be aware anyways. You can unlock with s-off but I'd suggest htc dev. They simply state if you cause damage as a result of unlocking the bootloader, they won't cover it. I believe there is also a way to make it say locked instead of relocked. I know of several people whom have had successful warranty claims with unlocked bootloaders.
What are your concerns? Just curious.

Yes Htc clearly states it on the website. If you are to brick your phone say as a result of unlocking the bootloader they obviously won't cover it. However say it's a defective sensor for example they will cover it. At least that's been my the experience of many people I know.
I thought you meant you couldn't revert to an unrooted stock OS.
Heck you can now even convert some carrier branded htc ones to the Google play edition and receive OTA updates.

Hello everyone, I am getting ready to buy a used m8 and am not 100% sure if it is stock. I am not familiar with HTC. They sent me a screen shot. The only thing I can tell is that it doesn't have the 20mb update yet. They said the only thing is rooted. I am wanted to know if its stock. I'd rather its stock and then I'll play with it. Thanks for your help.

The screen shot isn't going to tell you anything. Those can be hacked to say whatever.
The phone isn't stock if its been rooted. The phone can never be truly returned to stock once its rooted. The bootloader has been unlocked (which HTC has a record of) unless the user happened to make firewater temp root work, and s-off without unlocking the bootloader, which I think is very unlikely.
A screenshot of the bootloader screen would be more useful, as it would tell you s-off or s-on, if the bootloader is locked, unlocked, relocked, and other details which are harder to change than within the OS.
Even then, if the bootloader says s-on, you would never know if the previous owner did s-off then returned to s-on, which still throws a security flag that can't be changed.
Or are you asking if its been returned to stock? Any phone can easily be returned to stock, now that the AT&T RUU is available.
Thanks for the reply. I realize that once it rooted its not full stock. I was curious if its on stock rom. I wont know more until till I physically see the phone. I've had samsung, motorola, and lg so I'm not familiar with HTC. I'm trying to gather info to know what I'm looking for.

The photo the seller sent doesn't have the right info to tell if its on the stock ROM. You want software number (which isn't on the photo), not build number.
But as I said, it doesn't matter. The phone is easily returned to the stock ROM with the RUU, or other means.
Okay thanks.
