It depends on your CID and build code.
If you're on WWE (.401) and on some European / International CID, you should have received it by now.

My cid is something like 11111111 and build code is 4.16.401.13

Your phone is S-OFF. That's good.
11111111 is SuperCID, technically when receiving OTAs, SuperCID isn't considered a CID, but more of a bypass to the CID check.
Build code 401 is International WWE, so you're good there.
Now you'll only get an OTA if you revert to HTC__001 which is a very common CID.
OR you could stay with SuperCID and and flash the OTA manually or flash the entire RUU manually. Whatever is easier for you.

When I bought the phone it was like this so how should I revert to HTC 001 cid.

Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Boot your phone into bootloader.
Type this command:
'fastboot oem writecid HTC__001'
Without the quotation marks.
Hit enter, reboot and wait for the OTA notification.

I'd recommend you just flash the whole Marshmallow RUU though. It's easier.
Or just the OTA file.

Should I install marshmallows through the manual method given here
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/ will this work It looks easier as just download and install. The only drawback is that all of my data would be lost.

[huzaifa2k9]

And also thank you for your quick support.

This is for American (.531/.605/.651) or Developer (.1540) M8 devices.
RUUs for 401 aren't available on HTC website.
You can find them on XDA.
Download one, install it. Your device will reboot a few times, all data will be wiped but your phone will be officially updated.
It's the easiest and most hassle free method.

Ok thank you. By doing this is there a chance of bricking my phone?

No, because you are S-OFF, so it's all good. You can flash any RUU and get back to stock.
New build code is 6.12.401.4 for 6.0 on M8
Here's the link for the RUU: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
It's SIGNED and is in Zip format.

You need to boot into bootloader
Type these commands (without quotation marks):

1) "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001"
2) "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
3) Place the zip file in the same folder as Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
4) "fastboot flash zip ***.zip" where *** is the name of the file you downloaded. Since it's really long, just rename it to RUU.zip
5) It might fail with error 90, so type the same command again to flash the file again.
6) "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
7) Boot into recovery.
8) Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
9) Reboot system now.
10) Enjoy Android 6.0

It's not as hard as it seems, look for a well-written guide on XDA or watch a video on YouTube. It's quite easy.

Good luck!

Put device in recovery mode.
Download 7.1.2 IPSW, connect to iTunes, press Shift + Left click on the restore button, locate the IPSW file and select it.
Install the firmware and your device will reboot.

This will wipe all data on the device btw.

Thanks for helping brother.

Yes i found the phone blinking fast in safe mode just like brand new.

Checked for the updates and found that its latest. Kindly mention which unnecessary features are you referring to?

Will check the Gsam overnight and share it tomorrow.

Thanks again.
Jazak Allah

Welcome [emoji4].

If its getting noticeably faster in safe mode, then you have most probably bloated the device (installed too many apps). You need to greenify few apps. Greenify atleast Facebook and Messenger, the two culprits.

Unnecessary features like, Bluetooth, wake up motion gestures, wifi, wifi hotspot, screen mirroring, sync, custom launchers etc. Only use them when really required. You can keep WiFi on as long as its connected to Internet.

When you upgrade your phone next time, don't forget to get atleast 2GB RAM phone!. 1GB RAM cannot handle too many apps and then phone get slow.

Yes you are right that 1Gb ram is not sufficient now.

Also this was my first smart phone so had installed too many apps, 50+
But now uninstalled many and now i have less than half left. Also disabled many unused pre-installed apps.

I never leave any feature on when not in use.

Uninstalled messenger a month ago as i don't use it but Facebook i do. (Facebook is not updated, ver. 15.0.0.20.16)

You asked for overnight standby stats using Gsam:

Huawei Pakistan says that the Honor 5X will be launched on 10th Feb.

[wheelie]

Snapdragon 615 is just a mediocre SOC.

Other than android device manager, what apps works great when your phone is lost/stolen. I came across Cerberus how it works?
