Yes! thanks. It totally blows my mind that VZW can legally get away charging a monthly fee for a built in phone feature.

thank you very much. your threads are awesome. cheers.

Because when you tether, you're making use of a second data plan that does not at all count against your main one, so you have to pay for that, too. /s

Just kidding, it's because they're greedy. US Cellular, and probably others, do it too. Completely stupid. But that's why we root our phones. And, why I think what Motorola is trying to do, with the Moto X Pure, by selling phones directly to consumers, is so important. Sure, it's $400 to start, but if you want a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone two storage sizes higher, you're paying $400 on contract. Or a Samsung Edge or iPhone Plus with one storage size higher. There are people paying $500, $600 for a phone after subsidy! So for Motorola to sell the whole phone for $400, and get out from under carrier involvement... I really hope it works out well and others join in.

Any chance there will be an updated RUU with the new updates pushed out today?

Awesome news, thanks dottat!

Will you again make an install so it doesnt overwrite data as you did with the 5.0.1? This last one you did worked so smooth and perfect: I ran it over 4.2, reinstalled twrp, reinstalled SuperSU, and everything remained intact and perfect!

This system update ready notification popup is also driving me crazy!

Thanks again for all your hard work!

**EDIT** I probably should have clarified:

I have a stock Verizon rom, S-Off, rooted, currently at 5.0.1 (thanks to your installer!), and you'd pointed me to your brilliant 5.0.1 installer here so as not to wipe my current data:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845

I was able to install that 5.0.1 without wiping any of my data, then I reinstalled TWRP and SuperSU, and was updated from 4.2 to 5.0.1 without losing any programs or data.

Will you be making a similar install to get the latest update push without wiping any data? I don't mind reinstalling TWRP and SuperSU, simple compared to wiping the entire phone!

If I'm missing something obvious here, feel free to slap me and point me in the right direction. I understand the one in this thread will wipe the phone completely, and am hoping there is another install which is similar to the one referenced above, it was absolutely brilliant

I've read over fifteen pages of this thread. I'm still a little unsure of a few things.
I've got two stock phones with 4.4.2 that I just used sunshine to s-off and rooted with the developers root tool thanks to advice on here by dottat and other members.

Can I just use the exe to to update my phones since it's on 4.4.2 or do I need to take other steps first?
Is the exe the best option?

This is a little advanced for me, usually just root and use titanium backup. So I don't want to mess this up.

The only thing you may have to do is flash the hboot zip posted in the op first. You can flash that zip using fastboot or the SD card method. Once you complete that you can download the latest ruu zip or exe and flash that.

Uploading it right now...

Uploading it right now...

You, sir, are the MAN!!! Thank you VERY much for all you do, and will follow up with my success!!

**EDIT**

Success!! Thanks again for keepin' our M8's alive and current!! I'll shoot you another donation shortly.

In the meantime, any idea how to get rid of this damn "System Update Ready" window that keeps popping up? Tried clearing dalvik/cache and it just re-optimized all my apps.

I checked and the system is reporting 4.17.605.9. I tried "System Update/Check new" thinking it would re-initialize and see it's current, but no luck.

I just keep hitting the back button instead of either of the "Install Now" or "Install Later" buttons.

I'm thinking if I hit "Install Now" and let it run, it will fail when it gets to TWRP, do a re-check, see it's current and STFU, but I am sitting perfect right now and don't want to screw anything up, so I haven't taken it or delayed it yet.

Any assistance would, as always, be met with eternal gratitude.

Otherwise, everything went perfect; Updated, TWRP'd, and SuperSU'd, didnt lose a thing!

**EDIT 2**

Resolved the System Update Ready issue. Got antsy and figured it would fail at TWRP, so I hit Install Now.

It failed immediately with unsuccessful, and I hit OK.

Went into System Update/Check new and it then phoned home and said "good to go, you're already up to date" (not in those words...).

Problem solved!!

Thanks again dottat, you are incredible and all of us who own an M8 owe you a debt of gratitude. I'll get another donation to ya in a bit, making dinner now.

Thanks for the advice and the RUU. This should be just what we need to use Titanium backup to get our stuff off the motorolas and on the M8s

I got the hboot zip installed and the standalone ruu and everything seems good so far. The only thing is I didn't install TWRP. I didn't realize I needed it to install the tweaks. How do I install twrp now that the phone has rebooted? Or do I need to reinstall the full RUU? Do I need to rename TWRP zip to install?

You can rename the twrp zip just like you did with the run and reboot to boot loader and let boot loader flash it. Once your phone boots up delete that zip as it will make it hard to enter recovery. The free app quickboot will work perfectly to reboot to recovery from within the os.

I've read a lot in this thread as well as this other thread, and maybe it's just me, but I'm not clear on what I need to do to install the latest OTA update (which I believe is the stagefright patch) in my situation. I'd prefer the easiest method (whatever that is), and it's my understanding that I can't do an OTA update due to the current status of my phone, which is as follows:

Android version 5.0.1 (stock, rooted)
S-OFF
TeamWin Recovery

I'm sorry if my question has already been answered, I just want to make sure that I'm totally clear on what I need to do so that I don't screw up my phone.

Flash the s-on one and and then simply flash twrp and the latest supersu.zip to reroot. That way you don't have to wipe. The one in this thread is pre-rooted but will wipe your phone.

Thank you, dottat. So the S-ON will not affect my phone's S-OFF status? And is the 5.0.1 RUU zip with stage fright patch listed in this thread the correct one?

Correct on both accounts.
