What do I need to freeze to stop OTA updates?
Looking into it now.

I *think* you disable "HTC DM" and clear the data of "HtcDm" on the phone. I did this and haven't received an update notification since.
On past HTC devices (like my old One X EVITA) it was "updater". Not sure if its the same on the M8, since I flashed a custom ROM a day after buying the phone.

Wish I had seen this yesterday. I swear I didn't hit "update" because I wanted to root and s-off first. Somehow even though I had been hitting the delay option, it still updated. Took it out of my pocket once I got home and it had already re-booted and was installing the update... I was lame but thankfully I was still able to root, install recovery, s-off, and disable the "tampered" text in the bootloader. So it all worked out. I still am going to disable the OTA updater, don't want to have that happen again.

Yep. It does. You're welcome. Also, I enabled "HTC DM" and checked for updates...at first check, it says there are no new updates. Then I rebooted and I guess you can wait the 24 hrs like it asks or set your phone clock ahead 24 hrs, but I waited, and rechecked for updates and it redownloaded the update and flashed it with no problems.

Hi everyone: It all started last night when I tried to do a PRL update but accidentally hit Profile update...Now my data doesn't work! I took my phone to the sprint store to see if they can get it going and they couldn't.
They tried a prl/profile update and a hard reset its a no go, They also tried ##72786# code and the phone won't activate the MSL screen even ##DATA# won't work. They said they never seen this issue before and said I need a replacement (Refurb).
I don't want a refurb! Is there anything I can do to fix it...Im 100% stock with the new OTA update.
this also happened to me- I had to get them to order me a new one yesterday... Also from what they said, they still are sending out new ones as replacements here..

Wow! I went ahead and ordered it hope its a new one!
I think there are files that got corrupted.
If anyone can help fix before I get the replacement Let me know thanks.
Are you rooted ? If so try a full wipe or try running an ruu.

I had the same problem, and I had to get a replacement.

Yes you can run an ruu if your stock. Also I would recommend it. Hopefully it helps.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo....what was the fix? LOL Same thing happened to me last night at my local Best Buy. Spent two hours there trying to get my phone working again. She finally gave up and pulled a new one from stock. Sweet!
Great. The so-called "fix" is getting a new handset?! Great...

Actually no. It consisted of doing data refresh's, hard resets, profile updates and username resets. Also we had to flag the phone stolen then have it taken off.
Huge hassle.

Activate Device
Mine was doing the same thing after a pushed PRL update...scratched my head for a while figuring it out. I used "Activate Device" in settings: it took a few tries but eventually showed results. Afterward, it allowed the profile update.
Hey everyone,
So my girlfriend just got the LTE about 2 weeks ago, and now there is a real problem. I rooted it for her with s-off and flashed the stock/liquidsmooth rom. Everything has been running extremely smooth and great until today. The phone was in her pocket while we were out and when she pulled it out of her pocket and tried to unlock it, the phone was lagging really bad like a 15 second lag delay on everything and kept freezing. I tried wiping everything and reflashing the rom 2 or 3 times and its still doing the same thing. I'm very "flash savvy" and have quite a bit of android experience. When I push the power button to unlock the phone, the 3 bottom lights will just light up with the screen still black for about 2 minutes until it will light up and work semi smoothly.
Nothing was working so I try flashing another rom from the dev section and the same thing is still happening. I dont want to have to unroot it and take it into Sprint, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Anyone?

No need to unroot - Sprint treats rooted phones the same as non-rooted phones now. There's clearly something severely wrong with the phone if you've wiped and flashed multiple times. Maybe run the RUU? If not, go to Sprint.

The bootloader is unlocked, and I can't for the life of me get it to relock. EVERY method I've tried doesn't work for me. Will they take it even with the unlocked/tampered bootloader?
Well I've got the phone to work a little better...But everytime I lock the phone and try to unlock it, it won't respond for about 2 minutes. And it keeps saying "process system is not responding" or sometimes "process com.android.phone is not responding". I've tried fixing permissions and partition SD card. Guess I'm taking it to sprint.
I am pretty sure you can get it repaired or replaced regardless of the bootloader status. Search the General section or the Q&A section. I guarantee it has been discussed, I just don't remember the answer.

What is your wiping process? You said everything but can you be specific? What rom did you flash? Is your recovery updated? Did you check md5 of the rom?

Correct, as long as one has total equipment protection
If a store gives issues on it just ask them to look it up in policy.
OP
You tried re flashing that Rom and wipes but have you tried a different Rom?

I wiped cache, dalvik, system, factory data. The usual. And tried flashing 5 roms - stock with goodies(the latest one and an older one), miklatte, meanrom, and a stock rooted rom. Tried fixing permissions on all of them too. I tried 2 different kernels and reflashed the radio aswell but no luck.
I took it into sprint today and they wanted to keep it overnight lol, so I will findout in the morning.
Still blows my mind how the phone went from working so great and then 5 minutes later it was completely unresponsive.

Yupp.
I bought a DNA used off eBay. It came to me with the bootloader unlocked and s off. I toss my SIM card in and it connects to 3g fine, but 4g refuses to even try and come up. Troubleshooting steps taken below:
1. Switched from the sense 5 Rom that was installed to viper, no go
2. Flash the newest radio, no go
3. Try global mode, cdma/LTE mode, LTE only mode, no go
4. Flash a stock rooted Rom, no go
5. New SIM from Verizon store, no go
6. Swap Sims with a co workers DNA (which has 4g), his DNA gets 4g with my SIM but I don't get 4g with his.
7. Try to RUU, it keeps telling me installed software is 2.06, errors out with error 158, no go.
Any other ideas? I might just return it to the eBay seller.
Is there a limitation to using the RUU? Do you have to be on 1.15 everything to use it?

Not sure what that means. I'm coming from a droid 4 which was limited to pretty much just flashing roms, so this is my 1st real experience with flashing radios/kernels/hboots etc. He was previously using it on T-Mobile, but I don't see how that would effect anything. The seller agreed to take it back for a full refund, but I'm willing to try a few more things before I ship it back (unless it risks bricking)
EDIT: I'm retarded. You mean flash the boot image separately? Yeah I tried that with the DNA toolkit as well as manually. Fastboot crashes with the toolkit, and doing it manually with fastboot gives me errors. I think there is just something wrong with the phone. I've tinkered with a GNex before with fastboot and had no issues flashing anything.
Try an app from the playstore that turns off an on different parts of the radio. You can specifically choose just LTE. If it turn on its the software, if not, (obviously) it's the hardware

I had tried from the phone settings menu, whatever one the LTE On/Off app brings you to and no dice. It just sits at disconnected.
The settings are very limited. I had a similar problem, and I downloaded the lte on/off app by "tapbase" and I was able to discover that my lte radio works afterall. Try it, its free.

I'm having the exact same problem with an Ebay phone! I've tried a new SIM, a few ROMs, and upgraded the radio.
Hope I'm not off topic or breaking any rules so in the event I might please pm me op. I might have a different suggestion all together.

You need to use a brand new sim from a vzw store. Take it up to the store and you will be good. Fixed my friends at least. He tried my working SIM to and he only had 3g

I was having the same problem as the OP. I tried a new SIM too. I ended up having to lock the bootloader, return the phone completely to stock, and then accept the latest OTA update. After that, I was able to get 4G. Then I unlocked the phone again, put a TWRP recovery on, and then I flashed a Sense 5 M7 ROM. It kept 4G! This has been a real pain-in-the-butt process, but it worked.

Hey guys and gals, I am coming over to T-Mobile from Verizon on Thursday, and most likely getting the HTC One in the process.
Maybe this is a Verizon thing, but sometimes when you accept an OTA update, it will break root, relock the bootloader and you are stuck without root if you take the update.
Do I need to worry about that on T-Mobile and the One? In other words, when I'm in the store purchasing the phone, should I try and stop them from running any updates? Or can I root regardless?
Thanks!

If you root on tmobile then you won't get any OTA updates, so that's a moot worry. Luckily the updates pop on here pretty quickly so you can simply sideload them.

I'm happy without root. Only thing that I hate is that I can't get rid of kids mode, that water game, carrier iq, and lookout. However, because I have the premium handset protection I got the paid version for free recently which is nice.
As well as the T-Mobile apps visual voicemail (i want to use Google voice and can't) , T-Mobile tv, and the name id app that has since expired from the trial period which is stupid if you ask me. Spend $600 bucks and can't get something like that free.

@gokun, you probably need to make sure you have a stock recovery and a relocked bootloader to receive that update. I'm pretty sure that's how the process goes even if you have a stock Rom.

Yeah, you are correct. I ended up not doing it because I didn't want to update my hboot just yet. Instead I just installed a custom rom based on it(blackout). That option worked out better for me since I didn't want to go through all the headache.
