In the past I had experimented in both keeping and dropping ramdisk.img from custom firmware packages. The ramdisk.img is standard part of linux variant OS's and generally used simply for initd (initialization/startup). When I first was messing with these, I extracted the contents and it contained settings used for the configuration of the radio that is flashed with the firmware.

It was discussed in one of the firmware threads at the time, but basically the consensus was that the radios were performing better when the ramdisk was left in the firmware package.

There was also speculation that the ramdisk wouldn't be used at all unless the stock kernel (boot.img) was in place, however I am not sure that is the case. I have found no compatibility issues when leaving it regardless of what kernel is used.

So in summary, I personally don't think it makes a huge difference either way, but until a compelling reason can be made for dropping it I just leave it in if the factory firmware package had it.

Hope that helps

[One (M7) Android Development] Jonny:
Radio gets updated if you flash the firmware and has no bearing on whether or not you can (or should) flash it.

thank you for your hard work
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Sorry everyone. My M7 died so I can no longer make and test these firmware packages. It is pretty easy to make them yourselves. Just download the latest firmware and then download the latest Google Play Edition firmware. Remove the hboot_signed.img file from the original firmware zip and insert the one from the GPE firmware zip. That's it. I recommend using WinRar to perform this. I think some others in the M7 forums are making these packages still as well.

I am hoping to get my M7 repaired eventually so I can continue device support but I don't have a time frame for that.

Good luck.

[One (M7) Android Development] bangsters:
Hey guys. I've been out of the modding game for so long, as I've been using newer phones and just stayed on stock builds.....

..... but I need to use my HTCOne (M7) again for a particular app, ILAND DIagnostic, for my car as the app does not work on Android 11 and above.

When I turned on my HTC One and did reset (can't recall what build it has on, but it is not stock and is unlocked)...... and it looks to be too old as I can't even sign in to google lol...

Any suggestion on any android 10 I can install so I can use the ILAND Diagnostic tool?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
I do not think so. I have not seen details regarding the partition layout of that phone version, but I am pretty sure it is different, so I would not use this on that device type.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Yep, your all good.

FYI - I would recommend removing your serial number and imei numbers from your posts for security.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Interesting. I guess it's possible since the ADSP image was updated and that handles sound and video.

I tried some playback and I think you may be right as even on a Sense rom the speaker volume does seem to be a little louder.

I can't confirm this for sure as I didn't take SPL readings before the flash, but if I get some time over the next few days I will flash the older firmware back and take volume level readings on the old and then the new firmware and post the results.

If there is anyone who has not flashed this, but is going to and you have a SPL meter handy, could you grab a reading of the same mp3 playing at max volume over the speakers at about 2 inches away from the speaker before and after?

Thanks

[One (M7) Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I should note that every time I've had to flash firmware, it always errors the first time and I have to flash it again.

So if you're running into an issue, flash it once, and then flash it again.
[One (M7) Android Development] Tw1tchy:
on this firmware can we still use custom splash screens?
[One (M7) Android Development] descenpet:
you should be able to use them.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
You have super CID so I can't be sure what your original one is. As long as it's the GSM variant, (Basically not Sprint or Dual Sim) then you should be fine with this firmware. Just follow the instructions in the post. If you are leary of trying it then don't. Not worth risking brick of your phone for cosmetic bootloader change.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:

[One (M7) Android Development] 99piotrek:
Any chance to take the black look of bootloader and put that into 2.24 firmware??

And one more:

If I'm planning to stick with ViperOne is there any sense for me to flash that???

Thanks
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Not possible sorry. The color scheme in the bootloader is built into the hboot image that was updated in this firmware. The firmware for 2.24 contains the older HTC version of the hboot image. The only way to change the look is to edit the hboot, which is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

I'm on ViperOne and I am using it fine. Basically it is just a choice right now if you like the different look. We may discover better reasons to update once we mess with this version a little more. The possibly improved sound is the best case for this right now, but I don't have the proof to back this up yet.

[One (M7) Android Development] c5satellite2:
Anyone know if they fixed the issues with 1.54?
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
What issue are you speaking of?

There are not any actual issues with any of the hboots that I am aware of.

There are 2 main outstanding problems from an advanced user standpoint, but the hboots all work fine and as designed by HTC.

The 2 pain points:

S-off via revone does not work on hboot 1.54. I would suspect this to still be the case with this hboot, however we won't know for sure until someone tries it.

The issue with not being able to boot a custom recovery via fastboot boot command is more than likely still there even with this hboot coming from a more open build, it is possible, but again, someone will have to try it and report findings.

I doubt that feature will come back as the fastboot boot command was made for one time booting of custom kernel and not for recoveries.
[One (M7) Android Development] c5satellite2:
Fastboot boot was the main issue I was asking about. Just curious.

I have cid 032 - Romania . That must be the problem or something else is wrong?

I also tried this,no luck :

If you want to flash it on other CID's you will need to add your CID to the android-info.txt file inside the zip files I provided. Just extract the file from the zip download and edit one of the above entries found in the file to your CID. Save the file and then add it back to the zip. I would delete the existing file from within the zip before re-adding the updated one.

Finally changed cid to supercid and everything worked. Just for the record,i had CID HTC_032 , was Vodafone Romania.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Well, I originally posted this right after the 4.3 dump basically for those not on 4.3. Basically at that point if you wanted to run 4.3 then you were doing a full RUU conversion. However now there are roms for 4.3 that do not include the full RUU conversion so therefore the new firmware would not get flashed. So if you are running 4.3 then it is an even better reason to upgrade to this firmware.
[One (M7) Android Development] throcker:

[One (M7) Android Development] luckylui:
Sounds like a ROM issue.. I'm on 4.3 stock, no recovery over here..
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
This firmware is only bootloader files and it doesn't touch or affect the system rom in any way, so I do not think it could cause those issues. Users are reporting that it is working fine for them on both 4.2.2 and 4.3 roms.

Try flashing the undo zip to return to the old firmware and see if it's better.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
I have seen that issue with CWM recovery in the past. I have switched to TWRP and I never had that issue again.
[One (M7) Android Development] Moudii:
So umm. I'm still on 4.1.2 firmware (4.2.2 rom)... Can I still flash this or should I upgrade to 4.2.2 first? Will I have touch issues flashing this?
[One (M7) Android Development] descenpet:
this doesn't include touch firmware. you will still use what you have.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
This update does not include the touch drivers, so there are no issues with recovery or ROM's. So you can install the update just to get the updated bootloader, however I would advise against it.

First - The firmware update from 2.24.401.1 does include update for both IR Blaster and the Touch drivers. Both of these are noticeably improved, with fixes for touchscreen sensitivity, capacitive buttons, among other fixes included.

Secondly - Soon many custom roms may require at least 2.24.401.1 firmware, so you are going to need this sooner or later. Also you will start to have versioning mismatches, meaning your fastboot will report firmware 3.x when in reality you only have the bootloader from that firmware and not the other files.

If you have S-off and are willing to flash this, then there is no good reason not to update the firmware's before this one as the new recoveries all support the latest touch drivers.

I would advise you update each in sequence.

Use this post for guide:

So now with this unbranded bootloader we can lock and unlock like Nexus device?

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
That's an interesting question. Most have only been running this firmware for a day or so. I would think that you would still have to go through the normal process, however it may be possible. Folks will just have to try it.

With S-off and unlocked bootloader, there really is not reason to re-lock your bootloader except when returning the device. If that is the case then you would need to put the the stock bootloader on before re-locking anyway.

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Weird, I have almost the exact same config as you. I had the 2.24 firmware and was running the modified hboot on same radio and kernel, only difference was ViperOne ROM. I flashed it and had no issues.

What was your output? Any errors? Is your bootloader unlocked? It almost sounds like it is trying to load the stock recovery. You sure you flashed my zip and not the firmware.zip posted in the 4.3 dump thread?

Since it sounds like you can get to the bootloader, can you get to fastboot? Try flashing a custom recovery and see if it lets you in.
[One (M7) Android Development] Batskoning:
Firmware: This contains radio, Recovery, Hboot and all the other firmware for 4.3 This is not flashable and must be flashed in fastboot RUU mode https://mega.co.nz/#!6M5nCRLD!fAUWUA...co3s2N5OCUt-n8

That one i installed, it is 49mb..

Yours 27,6 mb..

I guess i downloaded something wrong.. :(

I reflashed recovery and recovery works now.. But internal memory is empty.. :( I'm downloading InsertCoin en flash it sideloaded, because i cant put a zip in recovery..
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
That 4.3 firmware package has the stock recovery and kernel in it. You should be able to recover.

Reflashing my package won't do anything as you have already written the recovery and kernel.

You will have to flash a custom recovery via fastboot or All In One Toolkit

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Then to get your OS back up you will need to replace the stock GE 4.3 kernel you put on it with ElementalX again, by going into custom recovery and flashing the installer for the ElementalX 3.4 kernel.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Flashing the kernel should allow you boot your old ROM. I doubt all the files are gone from internal storage, just using different folder.

Open the zip for the Elemental X kernel and pull out the boot.img file and put it in your fastboot/adb folder. Then

fastboot flash boot boot.img

you old system should boot up and then you can see what is going on with the file/folder structure.

[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
Glad your back up and running. I'm not quite sure how your user data got deleted, perhaps from including the recovery and kernel it does a full wipe.

Be careful when flashing and remember to make nandroids and save them to your PC.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
You will have to install the dark splash screen from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324746

If you used revone to S-off, then it should have been able to remove it. Thats how I did it.

However now that you flashed this firmware, your hboot is 1.54 and revone won't work on that version, but maybe it will still work for removing the tampered flag. If that doesn't work you would need to manually flash the older 1.44 hboot and then use revone to remove the tampered flag.
[One (M7) Android Development] Edubyah:
Crushalot, from reading your posts I have come to the conclusion I need to flash the 2.24 and 2.17 firmware as I have went straight from stock Tmob 1.27 to 3.06 here. I'm S-off SuperCID do you see any forseeable problems?

EDIT: I found a combo firmware for 3.06 2.24 & 2.17 for upgrading from 1.29 so all went well.
[One (M7) Android Development] crushalot:
S-off, Super CID, so should be fine to flash the older firmware and then reflash this one. Just do them in order and remember to execute the command to flash in fastboot twice, even if it looks like it worked. Then check Version-Main with get var all from fastboot to confirm after each level of firmware flashing.

Let me know if you run into any issues.
[One (M7) Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, I used Hassoon's toolkit again, push revone and set permissions, then ran the remove "tampered" script. It worked this time. Whooo! Don't have to flash the old hboot.

Got myself a nice splash screen now, too.

05.08.2013 Update: added a BaseCombo 3.06 (GE) & 2.17

MD5: 1F8AB06252B231DA3B5146A5152FBD83

This package is modified. Contents: Partition Updates from 2.17/2.24 and those that were updated in the Google Edition 3.06. I also added TWRP 2.6.0.1 again and removed the kernel (works only on the GE Rom anyway) and stock recovery. This zip has the sole purpose of enabling a straight update from 1.20 or 1.29 up to 3.06 without needing anything in between. Sweet extra: the GE bootloader is totally different codewise and by its looks. Nice and black, the red warning replaced by a little grey lock icon at the bottom. Much less obstrusive. For me, this update is candy. I really like it.
