By unlocking you mean from the carrier? If you update, you should receive the update from the carrier you are on.

After relocking you will (Bootloader). I am putting one of my One's on E-Bay, all the work is already done, S-Off, Dev edition RUU, 32 gig ATT version with the media thing. PM me if you are interested, it is going on tonight for shipping to US only. Very good condition, original box.

Well if you aren't using AT&T anymore, then you can't use AT&T updates.

You will not have to unlock it again for any of those situations.

Yes, once a device is SIM unlocked, it stays that way (unless it is relocked manually).
So would I receive my updates direct from htc like a sim free handset or would the updates then come from the carrier the handset was originally locked to?

The update would come from the carrier but if you change carriers before you receive the update, you will not receive the update. It's better to update first, then unlock.
So let me get this right the handset is currently on orange but if I unlock it and put a Vodafone sim in it then I won't be able to update it to ics? Would I not even get the update from Vodafone? Or could I not get it by putting an orange sim back in after it's been unlocked and orange release the update

Vodafone may not have the update for that device. Yes, you could place your Orange SIM in it to receive the update if you don't receive it via Vodafone..

If by unlocked you mean the bootloader, then no you wont get OTA with an unlocked bootloader. If you mean unlocked as in the international M8 then yes you would get OTA.

False. OTA will work fine with unlocked bootloader. But you need to have custom recovery and no system files altered.
Also, you will only get AT&T OTA if on AT&T network. Sine the OP is SIM unlocked, I'm assuming the device is being used on a different (not AT&T) network. But the device can be updated by RUU. RUU is available for 4.4.3 (hopefully 4.4.4 will be available soon) here:

You can receive OTAs while being on another providers network. I updated mine to 4.4.3 while I was in Europe before they pulled it.

Were you roaming on AT&T's network?
I've seen a couple reports here and there like yours. But for the most part, I've seen many (probably dozens of) instances of folks (on XDA and on AT&T forums) using AT&T devices on foreign carriers and not getting OTA.
As the OP has already missed 2 OTAs I'd say its reasonable to say he isn't going to get an OTA.

No, I was using a foreign sim and at that time I was on wifi since the edge network is horrible.

Is your software version 1.54 or 1.58?

Okay, its on 1.58 at least. If it was still on 1.54 and you didn't get a notification to update to 1.58, it would be safe to conclude you can't get any updates. So there is still a small chance, I suppose. Although I wouldn't bet on it.

[Q] htc m8 no updates?

So I bought the device from some guy from Canada
it's unlocked at&t device (I'm not at&t carrier)

Is it ok? Or I'm just loosing it?
I'm on stock no root or something like that.
Appreciate some help guys..thanks

Yeah no updates till now, they rolled 4.4.3 but pulled it due to battery drain problems with OTA, but if u flash the 4.4.3 RUU you won't have any problems, or just wait till they roll 4.4.4

I'm sure you've heard from even friends you know to Google things.
Anything that's mentioned in any thread on XDA just put into your search bar or Google now "OK Google" and you will begin to learn all about that bad ass device you hold in your hand.I also recommend either the XDA app or Tapatalk app for easier navigation of the forums you may view.
Unless on att as a carrier you wont get any updates from them,best bet is to soff change cid and flash us developer ruu 3.28.1540.5

I believe what he's saying is that if you have an unlocked (international) version of the M8 you wont get updates from AT&T just because that's the carrier you're using. You'll get the international models updates.
So I bought the device from some guy from Canada
it's unlocked at&t device (I'm not at&t carrier)
This is why you wont get updates from att,your not on their network,doesnt matter if phone is att based,the updates come from the carrier your using. Unlocked/US Developer devices are different they are supported directly ftom htc not a specific carrier. If your cid is CWS__001, You have an ATT branded phone,unlocked or not you wouldnt get any updates from ATT.

So what you suggest me ?
Can I change it not to be at&t? If I can I'll be happy for some
quick understandable guide please.
Look in the at&t development section and you will find a guide for either "Dev edition" or "GPE" conversion .good luck with
S-OFF

Not that one is better so much as what you prefer.I like the light bare bone AOSP of GPE .the Dev edition is still sense and it's supposed to get updates faster than carriers like at&t,T-Mobile

SuperCID??

I'm not seeing anything specifically for the Spring M9 saying it's possible or not possible to change the cid on our variant of the m9. Does anyone have info if it's possible yet for us?

you can change it, but theres no benefit to it on a cdma phone
So we are not able to flash international Roms correct?
Ie the 1.40.401.5 build

You can if you want , but like schmeggy said there is no benefit for cdma. OTA's are slowly making there way out. I'd just wait till sprint receives the 1.40 update (if that's the next one) then look into flashing different ROM's that match up with the firmware.

Was just wondering if this is because the hardware is incompatible or because it would just no longer work on Sprint? I had my M9 unlocked and I was planning on useing it on T-Mobile and figured another firmware might work better.

Do not flash firmware from another variant, (Verizon, T-Mobile). You will brick your phone. Also The Sprint M9 cannot be used on T-Mobile, Verizon or AT&T.

How do we know this is safe on a privacy level. Giving our number through WhatsApp and keys to the phone (likely IMEI) could leave it to possible cloning or other non specific hacking, eavesdropping, etc. Methods
thnx alottt sirr. love u. it worked for me
