Sprint’s HTC One E8, a plastic version of its One M8, is finally receiving the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. While the announcement was made yesterday, the OTA update just began rolling out today.
The update brings with it all sorts of goodies, such as factory reset protection. Once you have the update downloaded and installed, your software version should be 2.32.651.7.
Keep in mind that updates do roll out in stages, so it could be up to a couple of weeks before everyone can enjoy the sweetness of Lollipop. If you’re eager to get your hands on the update, both Sprint and HTC have posted a changelog. Only, HTC’s changelog features a 1.9GB RUU file paired with detailed instructions on how to flash the update manually.
It’s surprising that the One E8 took this long to get the update, considering the One M8 received it back in February. The One M8 will be getting the jump to Android 5.1 in August, and if its anything like this this update, the One E8 should get it a few months afterwards.
Such is the life of waiting on telecommunication providers.
