[Q] Dev edition m8 doesn't get 4.4.3 OTA

I think it's kinda strange to flash the 1.12.1540 stock recovery on a 1.54.401 firmware ?! Weird huh....because they don't match.....but......that has nothing to do wether you get update notifications ! You should get them wether they can be installed or not. But the combo recovery + nand will not work to official install of the ota

I think you need a different firmware. If you have the dev edition model that is originally on .1540 you can't do it via a 401 firmware.

My dev edition doesn't get 4.4.3 update either. All stock except unlocked s-off

Here a workaround for the ones interested:

1- Make sure MID and CID match, for the developer edition you have it should be:

MID: 0P6B12000
CID: BS_US002

If they match then you can download a stock nandroid and the firmware here.

2- Wipe evertying using TWRP and then restore the nand you´ve downloaded from the link above

3- Reboot your phone into booloader and then flash the firmware

4- I would advise you to clean the cache once you install the firmware in bootloader

5- Do a full factory restore from the bootloader, your phone should reboot by itself afterwards

In case you need it:

In order to flash the firmware you have to type Fastboot oem rebootRUU in bootloader mode then you will see an HTC grey logo, there you will have to type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. Make sure firmware you've have downloaded is renamed as "firmware.zip" before you do all this. I would recomend to perform this last command twice. To reboot your phone into bootloader type: fastboot reboot-bootloader, once your phone reboots then type Fastboot erase cache, perform a full factory restore there and let your phone reboot. After your phone reboots, you should have the latest version installed.

As and advise: be carefull with all this!

Click to collapse

I flash any recovery to get dev ota and they all work

Or even simpler, as I did, apply the OTA through stock recovery.
