Sprint HTC One M8 Marshmallow update imminent

If you are on Sprint and own an HTC One M8 or its special Harman Kardon edition, here is some good news: the carrier has announced the roll-out of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the handset, and it should begin anytime now.

Sprint HTC One M8 / M8 HK Owners! Great news, we have received technical approval on the Marshmallow OS update! OTA will start tonight! Thx!— Mo Versi (@moversi) January 29, 2016

As usual, the announcement was made by HTC’s VP of Product Management Mo Versi on Twitter. He said that they have received technical approval for the update and the OTA roll-out will begin tonight (US time).

Sprint HTC One M8 getting Marshmallow tonight, One M9 update coming next week

Android 6.0 Marshmallow has been available for a couple of months now, but a hefty chunk of Android phones have yet to receive an update to it. It’s time to add a couple more devices to the list of updated devices, though. Beginning tonight, the HTC One M8 on Sprint will be receiving its update to Marshmallow. The rollout will likely take a few days and will be arriving on both standard One M8 models as well as the Sprint-exclusive HTC One M8 Harman/Kardon Edition.

Owners of the HTC One M9 on Sprint need not fret. The Android 6.0 update for the HTC One M9 on Sprint will begin sometime next week, pending technical approval. No specific date was given, but you can rest easily knowing that your update is coming very soon.

Even if some other devices received the Marshmallow update first, it’s good to see HTC continuing to work to maintain its commitment to speedy updates. With any luck, we’ll continue to see other devices receiving their Marshmallow updates within the next couple of weeks.

Sit tight and we’ll keep you posted on more updates.
