10.5.8 was dated 14th may.. is very old firmware update....

10.5.8 was pulled in North America. They just released 10.5.9 and it only disables the colour filter camera.

There have been a few, there is an app on the play store called OnePlus updater, it works by identifying your device model and then searching for an update.
I didn't get 10.5.8 but the updater did.
You click update and it'll download it (good speeds)
Once compete, push it to the root of your storage.
The click system update in settings and choose local update.
Click the file
Allow to finish.
I've done this twice now and it's been flawless, no loss of data, no changes to device details.
I'd recommend it..
If you're rooted, i couldn't say what way you should update..with the fingerprint issue etc you have to be careful.

It's definitely legit.. But if you install 5.9 you'll lose photochrome

photochrome does nothing for me just gimic nothing else
think about it ,every future update will including the disable of the filter ...so we never update?
update:they pull out this firm too 10.5.9 not showing anymore (second time they pulling firm update )

Well no., you can actually reactivate the photochrome lens using a few tricks, there's already a thread about it. Which will evolve and get easier.
I promise you it actually does work..
Try taking pictures of all the remotes in your house and sooner or later you'll get to see through one or some of them, a UK virgin TV remote allows you to see through its back cover.
I'm sure there are more things you can see through.
Also not sure if you know where to activate the lens but just incase.
Open camera
Click settings (top right in portrait)
Slide along to the right, the last filter.

Just got official update to 5.1.1 for N900T (DOK2)

So, I got a small update just now for my N900T. The changelog says OS 5.1.1.
I'm installing now. Will update when it's finished.
Edit: Added screenshot.
Build number is N910TUVU2DOK2
I have a update downloading as well, lets see how this goes. You meant to type N910T I presume?

Yes, I know the N910T3 has had 5.1.1 for a while, but no, this is for the N910T.
Unfortunately I am not rooted, so I can't provide any firmware dump or anything else that would be of help to devs.

When the install finished downloading, it asked me to confirm the install. That's when it showed the changelog. I should have taken a screenshot of it. Probably had good info. Oh well, too late for that now.

Haven't played with it enough yet. Time for bed. Have to go to work in a few hours. But the install went smoothly, and the first boot was fine.
Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks. Security update. Yaaaaaaay!
As for rooting, I'm sure the usual suspects from XDA will be on it in no time. They'll probably have root before I get home from work.

I hope this leads to a fix for the finger print bug in ROMs. This is my first device that has a finger print scanner and I don't like giving out passwords lol.
Just got the update as well on a non-rooted N910T.
Really hoping for some improvements in speed.
Finally. I've noticed better reception so far. I'm at the Dr's office which I never get signal in the waiting room but I got 2 bars. Hopefully it fixed reception that 5.0.1 messed up for me

And so many wonder why the general public bemoans updates. Not that I used it much but it was nice to have if it is in fact gone. I hope they didn't change much else.
The real update I see is that the Stagefright exploit is fully patched.
Most of you on this thread might not care but if you install this update, there's no going back to KK or Lollipop.

Yeah patiently waiting here. Ill upload the screenshots I found so people can get a hint on what to expect
Good news everyone just received the update notification, its around 1505.20mb
Make sure you keep checking your settings system update !!
Pretty sure it will be a firmware download sometime soon, if I do find one ill be sure to upload it for those who don't want to wait.
A firmware download would be great

Alright I got it to register late last night, this morning I did a manual update (saw it suggested somewhere) and I am not on Nougat, Woot if your registration is complete check for updates manually.
I was able to update guys. FYI, you have to manually update in your phones settings, not through the app.
Installed and booted. First boot was unresponsive, so restarted and everything came up fine. Had a warning about themes being incompatible, but that was it. A couple apps auto updated and we're smooth now. Developer Menu is already enabled. New notification shade is slick, but will take some configuring to make usable. Icons are way too big and notification cards are really large. Will get screenshots once I get into work.

Information - Issue & Solution- Android Pay Not working

Since I know many would come here to look for this issue and resolution as a first step, hence i am creating this thread.
Many users would see HTC U11 wont let you add cards to Android Pay, there will be a pop up saying that the phone cant be verified as it is either rooted, bootloader unlocked or running a custom rom.
It seems the Shipped ROMs are failing the SafetyNet / SecureNet Checks.
In case you are stock and this is happening, please go to to the
Settings -->About --> Software Updates--> There should be an update (bigger than) > 250 MB.​For some reason this update did not show up automatically for me, this update fixes the Android Pay issue.
UPDATE:
1.11.617.3 OTA fixed the Android Pay
1.11.617.4 OTA Breaks the Android Pay

So refrain from updating until HTC fixes it ..

Yup that is precisely the problem .. going to play store settings and checking device certification at the bottom shows as uncertified and here is another screenshot of what happens when you check for Safety net :
I can almost understand the shipping software having this issue as they just expected all phones to update with the day zero OTA during setup. How the hell is this broken again with a second update HTC?
guys google needs to approve latest version it is probably be fixed within 24 to 48 hours probably even without a need for another ota just google play service update or store update which normally happens on the background
This problem seems to have been fixed on Google server side. Android Pay works for me now.:good::good:

Android Messenges For Web? Have yet to get the update...

Wondering if anyone has or has not received the update? Is there a way to force it? I still haven't gotten mine and I really want to start using it.
Thanks in advance!

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/
is this carrier specific? I'm on straight talk and i got the update, but no option to enable it.
also i'm on stock everything oreo

Traveling without a computer.
I even removed and then redid the update, nothing! Not a happy camper!
Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.
its here, i have it right now, w/o the hack
I got the notification today. Running beta 2 on Android p

New update state side 10.5.9 IN11AA looks to kill our photochrom option.

If you like your camera the way it is I'd bypass taking this update only info given is this screenshot taken. Don't know what else has been done but I won't take it.
Not updating either.
I found a way for rooted user.
Install my FactoryMode module this can be found at www.jamal2367.de
Then open the phone app and enter *#808# and go to the Camera tab.
Now simply press "fourth back camera preview".
Done.
