How To OTA Update HTC One M7 & M8 To Android 5.0.1 Lollipop

Since when Android Lollipop was announced, we have seen lot of updates released for many devices. Those updates consist on Custom ROMs like AOSP, Android Now HD, OmniROM and in the top is CyanogenMod 12, which is probably the best Custom ROM you can find for your smartphone. Custom ROMs were the first steps to update your smartphones on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

After Custom ROMs we saw some devices receiving official update and some others received factory images. Mostly of devices were updated through Custom ROMs, but we are not going to talk about that. The main point is that all updates are Android 5.0 Lollipop. But something unpredictable happens few hours ago. HTC One M7 & M8 received an Android 5.01 Lollipop OTA Update.

If you want to install Android 5.0.1 OTA Update on your HTC One M7 or M8 go ahead and follow the step by step guide below.

Preparations

  • This method consists in flashing a Custom Room so you need to have a rooted device and a Custom Recovery installed on it.
  • This ROM is only for HTC one M7 and M8 so don’t try to flash it in any other device because it will result in phone bricking.
  • Backup everything just to be safe. This method is tested but who knows, something may go wrong during the flashing procces. In case something happen you still can access your data.
  • Battery should be charged at least 70% so your phone will not go dead during the flashing procces. If it goes dead you will end up soft bricking your phone. Then you have to installation stock firmware and wipe the data as well.
