Update 2/11/14: This thread has evolved into a very informative thread! Please take the time to read the many posts in this thread, there is alot of q&a, troubleshooting and general good info. Thanks!!

My wife just checked her stock VZW HTC One, and her download has started. 617 MB in size! Go get your update now for those who are stock. I suggest waiting for our resident developers to do their magic on a custom stock ROM and more.

Note **I had to manually check for an update, and then initiate the download.**

Update: after the OTA downloaded, it did not prompt to install the update. Doing a complete shutdown, then starting the phone normally brings up the prompt for the update. Have fun!

What happens if I allow the OTA s-off with a custom recovery?

If you're running a custom recovery, as far as I know the OTA won't run because of the custom recovery. I would HIGHLY advise waiting for a Stock rooted ROM (such as Santod's when it is available), or one of the custom ROM's once they are updated to include the OTA.

Is it normal for the firmware download to run at 3G speeds? Device Management is running and even though I am connected to WiFi, it is extremely slow and my 3G icon is visible. Also, while I was downloading, I drove home and never went to 4G, which is unusual.

I even tried turning data off when connected to WiFi and toggling Global.

Just to clarify you can still update via OTA even if you are s-off if you are running the stock ROM and stock recovery. S-off on its own doesn't prevent updates. However, a custom recovery does.


My phone is S-off; rooted; with TWRP Recovery. I just received the notification for the Kit Kat update. I didn't download it, and don't know if it would install - but, I'm reasonably sure it would.

May just be due to the number of people downloading at this point. What ROM are you using (Stock I assume, as well as stock recovery)?

Both the Wife and I are downloading it now. Hopefully this fixes her dead notification light issue. The light still works it just notify her of new messages, e-mails, missed calls, etc. I am sure hard reset would fix the issue, just trying to avoid having to spend a couple hours buried in her phone restoring it to how it was.

It figures they push the update right after I flash a custom recovery :(

Any real world comments on low light camera improvements?

Or anything else in the update for that matter.

Thanks...

It might try to mask the camera issue, but since it's a hardware problem it won't actually fix it completely.

    Agreed. Had to wipe off my glasses and check again when I first saw it. Can't believe we don't even get the option to set the number of attempts.

    If rooted, its a simple XML edit.
    Not sure why they force that...
