No disrespect?

I am doing the best I can to provide you guys with the latest updates, expecting nothing in return.

Never said you didn't know how to flash. You made your post sound like you were asking why folks would have to wipe multiple times.

I simply pointed out, that I do not have to, nor have I found any desire or need to.

I made it as simple as it can be to stay up to date, yet folks still have issues.

I can't prevent every single possible user mistake, recovery differences, and other factors out of my control.

All I can do is make it work the best I can, and provide what works for me.

Trust me, you're not the only one finding it odd, that I have ZERO issues, yet some folks still do.

The fact that I can do it without any problems, is the best reference I have right now. (recovery logs anyone...?)

If it doesn't work for you, then don't use it.

You said you took the OTA already anyway, so stick with that then. Not sure why all the fuss.

For me, this worked just fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ijeenyus:
Got it to work!

After first flash, it'll reboot into recovery saying no os. Just reflash and it'll go through.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
Santod, thank you for posting this. Up and running nicely. Folks like you make these communities thrive.

Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm stock 1.10.605.10 locked bootloader and S-ON. Can I use the 2.10.605.1 Signed RUU to update to this system following the instructions in post #2??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Cares:
Been waiting for this. Thanks for "reviving" my phone...

Odd behavior though. Wiped and flashed with TWRP 2.7.0.8. The first couple of times it would begin flashing and just reboot my phone back into recovery. I just kept retrying and after the 4th or 5th time it finally completed flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MajikUF:
Is the 3.11.605.1 recovery the same as the 4.10.605.3 version? (since I didnt see a 4.x version posted)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Probably not. If a new recovery was included with the update then it was probably updated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You just said you took the ota. Why do you even bother trying to flash the exact same rom you just updated to? Sounds like part of your problem could be related to the fact that taking the ota leaves you with a secure boot. You should probably flash the insecure boot before you try flashing the stock rom through recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] planedoc:
Just wondering, but I downloaded the odexed debloated and the bloat is in it. Is it possible that file was mistaken for stock odexed? I double checked the file I downloaded and it says debloated. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No they are posted correctly.

If you came from the bloated version and didn't wipe, then that could be why you still have some bloat.

The Full is 1.3 GB's, Debloated is 1.1 GB.

There is way less Verizon apps and no Amazon apps in the debloated, see list in OP for most of what is removed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] planedoc:
Ok, Ill download again. I came from an AOSP Rom so there is no chance that stuff was left over. I'll double check the file size as well on the one I downloaded. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MajikUF:
So maybe someone who actually knows the answer could answer this time? [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] I don't have an m7 anymore, but I still support my old m7 and it will be in town next weekend, so I want to have everything I need to update/fix problems.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pons:
I don't have time to download and check myself, but you can. And then compare md5s for recovery images.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bik2101:
sorry for the noobish question - but if we flash the no boot img full firmware (4.10.605.3 NO Boot.img firmware.zip ) do we need to reflash the rom and/or restore a backup? or is nothing else affected? thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Lt. Belspur:
Nope. Just install the firmware and you're good to go.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] RickDR:
I have used so many of your roms and never had an issue. But when I try to install the 4.10.604.3 Sense 6 I get an updater binary error and it fails. I can install any of the other roms on this page, just not the sense 6. Also cant do the OTA from 3.11. Im so lost, any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Update your recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.8 and it should flash with no problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] RickDR:
Just updated TWRP, forgot to put the ROM on the phone so doing that now, let you know what happens in a moment.

Worked, thank you soooo much. Its the little things like that, that make me feel dumb at times.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BranC85:
So when you debloat the ROM, do you just remove the APK's from the system directory or is there something more elaborate going on there? I used dottat's RUU since I figured it would just hit the firmware and ROM all at once, 2 birds 1 stone and all. Then I tried to debloat myself by using root app delete to get rid of the system apk's that you listed for your debloated rom, then used root browser to delete their respective odex files. Did I screw up with that or is that essentially what you did as well? The next time I rebooted, I got the "android is updating window" and everything looked pretty normal, except for the past couple days I have been getting horrible data connectivity. I keep losing 4g and the download speed is terrible in locations that are usually pretty good. Is there anything in the HtcOMADM Settings or HtcOMADM VZW files besides OTA delivering that it is bad to just delete them outright?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] androiddude81:
Was wondering if I could get some help. Tried flashing the Odexed Debloated ROM via TRWP 2.7.1.0 and it fails immediately after the signature stating kitkat sense 6 M7wlv etc.

E:Error executing updater binary in zip

Any help would be much appreciated. Going to try the Stock Odexed ROM next to see if that works for me.

P.S. I already flashed the latest firmware and prior to that I wiped /cache, dalvik, /data, and /system.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You need to use 2.7.0.8
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] androiddude81:
Ahh, is it mentioned i the OP that it doesn't work with official TWRP. only place i could find 2.7.0.8 was santods build post.

anyways thanks again disconnecktie

Hi will ruu 4.4 ever come out?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
Been searching for a few days now, but is anyone else having issues getting gps locks after a few days? it seems to degrade over time for me. maybe a bad firmware flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BranC85:
Not with the stock ROM but I had a horrible time getting GPS with the google play port(4.4.2) which I was using for over a month. That whole time, I was never able to get a single GPS signal. But when I went back to stock I used the RUU file with sense 6 posted in another thread rather than the rom in this one, and my GPS started working fine again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
You have to go back to stock recovery to do that no? I flashed a different kernel and things seem better so far. I wasn't going to post again until I was sure things were fixed but all seems ok at the moment

Sent from my HTC ONE.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BranC85:
Yeah it does but this particular one retains root and s-off: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765784

Since you have to flash it using fastboot on your computer, I just fastbooted TWRP again right after the RUU so it only took a minute. Just remember it does wipe and reset everything if you use this, so back up everything. I wanted to reset everything fresh though, just with root and s-off, stock rom and this worked well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
Cool. I flashed kangaroo and things seem better. Could be placebo, no idea. I will give the ruu a go if things start acting up again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Robertjm:
which firmware file(s) to download for latest and greatest?

Just trying to make sure I'm not duplicating effort by accident here.

The latest firmware file listed is "4.10.605.3 NO Boot.img firmware.zip"

However, you have individual radio and kernel versions listed as "4.11.605.3"

If I want to update my phone to the latest and greatest, should I flash the individual radio and kernel files rather than the full firmware file, or does the full firmware file include the above mentioned radio and kernel versions rather than the 4.10.x versions?

So many version numbers and terms floating around makes it confusing sometimes. ;)

Thanks again Santoad!!

Robert
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Just use the no boot firmware unless you're running complete stock. Then it won't matter if you do the full firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Robertjm:
So I flashed the full firmware zip through Fastboot. However, now I'm having issues with the ROM zip file.

I checked the MD5 sum and it matches what is online.

First attempt I copied the file over to my "SDcard" and then after rebooting into Recovery tried running it.

However, I get the following error:

Formatting partitions...

E error in /data/media/0/update.zip

(status 0)

operation aborted.

Just to make sure the download wasn't corrupted I downloaded it again. This time I renamed it to update.zip BEFORE moving it to my "sdcard" on the phone. This was done on a Windows 7 machine, and simply doing a Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V over in the proper folder on the mounted call phone.

Getting the same error with this download as well.

Used the "Search This Thread" function. But, nothing came up so hoping someone can give me some help on this.

Thanks!!

Robert
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Install TWRP 2.7.0.8 or newer, wipe and flash.

Shouldn't have any problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Robertjm:
Thanks again! I'll try that in the morning as it's late and I've got an eye appointment in the AM.

I was hoping I'd be able to stick with CWM. But, I guess not.

So TWRP 2.8.10 is now working? I know there were issues mentioned with that version a few months ago.

Later,

Robert

Please Help..

I've installed a gazillion ROMS on various devices with no issues and the debloated, deodexed will not boot (goes right into recovery). Running twrp 2.7.0.8.

I was previously running BoneStock. Flashed 4.10.605.3 firmware according to instructions, boot into recovery and wipe (system, data, and dalvik, cache) install zip. Goes into installing then reboots back into recovery. I've done this too many times with the same result.

Am I missing something?

Un momento, never pulled a log from twrp, might have to recreate
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pons:
Care to post a recovery.log?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
just boot back to recovery.

don't wipe and reflash.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eudoxia:
Thank you! That did the trick. :good:

so if I want it "clean" after the dirty flash, just do a reset?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Reflashing after it fails, isn't really dirty flashing.

It was wiped prior to the first attempt and never booted or loaded any data.

So it should be all clean already.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jonestown:
Santod, is this ROM global, like your other ROMs?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
It's stock Verizon, whatever that supports by default.

It should at least have some limited global capabilities.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SellswordShev:
anyone else have worsened signal quality with 4.10.605? on 3.11 I seem to be doing better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Personalize works fine in the debloated roms.

I did not remove any HTC related files that would effect that.

List of removed apps are in the OP, and really haven't changed for several versions.

Check your download, md5, clean flash, no restoring, etc,..problem lies elsewhere.

Is anyone else having issues with GPS?

I tried RUU 2x, flashed multiple times (Debloat/Odex and wiping data) and nothing. I tried ViperOne 6.2.1 and GPS works just fine.

I am running the latest firmware and I really want to keep this room, but I cant live without GPS, is that anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
This may sound dumb, but did you enable it?

If you just have it on battery save mode, it's not gonna work very well.

You need to set Location to high accuracy mode and it works great.

It's stock rom, so it definitely works. :)

Try installing GPS Toolbox and download new AGPS data if you need to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NELORAO:
Well it may sound silly, but if I set Device only the GPS doesn't connect to any satellite and if I set it to High accuracy it works. :eek:

Thank you so much Santod040 and have a good night.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No problem.

Notice with it set to device only, the GPS led/light on that screen is yellow.

With High Accuracy, it's green and working as it should be.

Glad you got it sorted. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NELORAO:
Sorry dude, I thought that was working, but it doesn't actually.:rolleyes:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
I'm still having gps issues. The gps usually works for a few days and then seems to deteriorate over time. I've done the ruu thing , factory reset, set to high accuracy. Used gps status religiously. Can't figure it out. I really wonder if it's a bad flash sometimes but it's happened with nusense, just firmware upgrade and ruu twice now. Can't figure it out.

My battery life has been INSANELY good on stock. Is there a power saver I'm missing somewhere that might be hindering performance?

Edit: wiped dalvik, cache, reboot let android upgrade, cleared agps and 're-downloaded agps data and all is well again. Don't know why it deteriorates over time. Hope it holds.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Why flash an RUU?

I would flash the 4.10 firmware and stock rooted Rom.

Then go from there if you want to flash something else.

Just make sure to update your twrp recovery first.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcw122:
Blah figures, how do I reroot w out going thru the unlocking process
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Just reflash the rom using twrp.

Or flash SuperSu from chainfire's site.

Not sure what you mean about unlocking though, you should already be unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcw122:
The last time I rooted was when I used Rum Runner awhile back, so I'm just I was just wondering about the process without it. Thanks I can do those
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You need to fastboot flash the latest twrp and then flash the ROM without wiping and you'll be all set. No need to run rumrunner or any of the other tools. They are for unlocking and s off anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Rumrunner was for gaining S-off.(you are still s-off)

Like disconnecktie said, you do not need to do any of that.

Either install Twrp and reflash the rom using TWRP, or flash SuperSu in recovery.

Will the sense 5.5 kit Kat firmware work with the Sense 6 kit kat roms? I am still having gps issues. Just to clarify, I am always able to get satellites but navigation is nearly useless on all roms I have tried including stock. GPS status doesn't help. If I wipe Calvin and cache then I can nav for a while but it deteriorates.

Is it worth trying the old firmware? On nusense 6 right now and it's great but nav is 50/50.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Why not flash the sense 6 firmware? It should fix your issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
I am on the sense 6 firmware and radios
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Oh, your post implied you were on sense 5.5 firmware. In second post, santod does state in special cases the sense 5.5 should be okay.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] onthehole:
Ah ok. The last time I was able to do real nav with waze or maps was on sense 5.5. This is my last resort. Thanks.

Edit. so went back to 5.5, via Nandriod and nav was perfect. Back to this, or any other sense 6 Rom and it was garbage. Seem to have figured it out however.. Either disabling "minimize battery usage while WiFi is on" under WiFi advanced settings while using GPS, or disabling WiFi while using GPS (if you want to keep the previously mentioned setting checked) seems to have fixed my nav issues. Been on 3 different roms in 2 days with all sorts of combinations (old firmware, new firmware, old radios, new radios) but this setting seems to have fixed me up for good. Good luck out there.

Installation Aborted
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Oh, well then it's a recovery issue.

Because I know I've loaded them both and have downloaded one of them again since posting.

When they were posted, I used Twrp 2.7.0.8 from Mdmower, if that helps any.

The installer script is essentially the same for all of them, so that part should work, using a compatible recovery.

Best I can say, is try a different recovery version then what you are using.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
A lot of people use Philz recovery. Might give that guy a ring to get support for it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I've found each recovery variation and version, has their own methods.

No way to keep every rom update compatible with every recovery update.

It's just not realistic with the way Recoveries vary lately.

So, I generally make it work with the Recovery I am using at the time of posting.

Which will most likely remain Twrp.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Hmm, doesn't work on the latest TWRP either. You got a link to that specific version?

Kinda annoying to have to have a very specific recovery to make this work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I agree, but you don't have to use it.

I set it up using what was current when I posted it.

I'm mobile right now, so I'd have to search for it too.

Mdmower twrp 2.7.0.8 would be a good search term for Google probably.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Well, I got it to work. Kinda a PITA but it works. Used TWRP 2.7.1.1.
