So the recovery section has:

Will the 3.11.605.1 recovery be posted?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I'm sure someone can/will post it.

I'm considering closing this thread as well as the rest of my threads.

So I probably won't be uploading that.

If anything changes and I decide to leave this up, then maybe I will.

This isn't the atmosphere I thought it was...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
Closing your threads! That will be a blow to this phone community.. but it is what it is. If you do it s been a great run!

Why would you close it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BaBnkr:
Noooooo Santod, please don't go!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Sorry, not looking to go into details really.

I did what I thought was a service to the community, turns out that others don't see it that way.

So rather then continue to put forth efforts that go unappreciated and accuse me of other motives, I'd just assume not do it.

Bottomline, I do this for fun, folks are trying to make it no fun anymore, so I am suddenly losing interest.

I thought we all had rules to abide by, but I guess it only applies to some and when convenient.

Don't let a few rotten apples ruin the whole cart! You are highly regarded as one of - if not the best - developer for the HTC One! I flash every one of your ROMs, and always look forward to your work.

Please stay.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
Please stay santod
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unorthodoxx:
What you have done is highly appreciated, look at ask the hits on your OP! I enjoy all you do, by the way the deodexed debloated isn't available to download anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I appreciate that.

It's not that I'm looking for folks to ask me to stay either.

I just can't deal with being taken advantage of anymore and then being spit at to top it off.

If certain people change their path and Moderation decides to step in and actually do something, then I may reconsider.

Otherwise there is not much chance I will stick around.

I can still do the same stuff for fun, I just won't have the pleasure of sharing it anymore.

Not a sacrifice I want to make, but one that may be best for my health in the long run, all things considered.

I really hope you can work things out because you're seriously the best developer I've come across in a LONG time. I won't beg you to stay, but I will just say that your work is helping a lot of people such as myself really enjoy their phones to the fullest extent. I personally would hate to see you go, but if that's what you feel is right I wish you all the best.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jacobsensei:
Santod - Can honestly say that I would flash any of your work without hesitation, as I know that your stuff is safe and we'll done!!!

Not sure what happened, gotta read thru it.

You would be sorely missed, so I hope you reconsider and stay.

Thanks for your work...

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aceof89:
Santod - your request was simple, deserved, and should have been honored by the mod and the dev. I don't understand how else to say it, but in the end you deserve so much more than your alias on a web page. You deserve a look in the eye and a hand shake with "Thank you for a job well done" being spoken.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] midnight assassin:
I'd hate to see you go. You have been a huge help to the community and myself individually. Your guides made it easy for me to to learn to be comfortable flashing things via fastboot and I'm sure many others too. I hope you reconsider on behalf of the people that do appreciate your efforts and not get weighed down by those that don't. Thank you sir.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] MrMakeIt:
Santod,

I join everyone else in asking that you don't go. Thanks for the ROM!

Question -- did anyone else have problems flashing the ROM with CWM 6.0.4.7? I tried using recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-m7vzw.img but it would always hang on "wiping cache"... then I used recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.6-m7ul.img and it seemed to work. This is strange considering http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager lists 6.0.4.7 as being the current version.

I also was having a hell of a time getting TWRP to work... it would flash without any problem, but when I tried to boot into Recovery I'd just get white screen with the HTC logo and constant rebooting...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You should be using m7vzw versions of CWM and TWRP.

That may be why you had issues.

m7ul is for the International variant.

The m7vzw recoveries are in the Verizon HTC One Original Development section.

Looks like you tried both, so I don't know.

I installed this fine using CWM and TWRP, so I'm not sure what happened.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
Well I will grab the full odexed before anything was waiting for a debloated but I will do it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eyetek:
I'm completely bummed out about the drama that has come your way on the site. You provide a much needed service to those of us who prefer the latest stock running HTC One on Verizon. I can't imagine anyone else stepping in to provide this for us and I would wish that you would reconsider your retirement. Furthermore I ask the Mods to think of what would be lost and who will be hurt most because of the drama, do what's right and find some common ground so we can all move forward.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fxdc08:
Santod I've had this HTC one for about 2 weeks and I constantly watch your threads for the amazing stuff you come up with. The way I see it you are "the one" to go to for our phones! Hope everything gets worked out!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BABABANG:
Would anyone be kind enough to reupload the odexed Kit Kat rom to a third party mirror? It seems to have been disabled, presumably due to the unfortunate drama that is going on.

While I do not post much, I did want to drop by and say that I would have returned this phone had it not been for your roms, Santo. Before I purchase a phone, I always do my research to see if it has solid developmental support. You are the reason it is great, and I am pained to see you driven away by people's ungratefulness. If there is anything I or, the rest of the community can do to ease your situation, please tell us and we will do it without question. Your hobby is the ultimate driving force behind this wonderful device, and above all we want your hobby to be enjoyable. We appreciate you Santo -- we really do. Let us know if there's anything we can do.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Thank you to all of you for your incredible support and for understanding the situation the bast that anyone can.

Just wanna say that I did put the link for the stock rom back in the OP, a while ago, so it is back up and can be downloaded again.

Sorry for all the commotion, confusion, and unnecessary events that have taken place here today.

Not at all why I am here, or why I want to be here.

Hopefully that is all behind us now and we can all move forward and upward.

Thanks again to you all, who have supported me all along and understand where I was coming from.

You guys are great and a big part of the reason I'm still here! :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BABABANG:
Made me smile man!

Just so you know, when I click the download link I am presented with this XDA message:

This download file is not currently available (it was deleted or disabled).

I am not sure if it is just on my end or everyone else's as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Sorry about that.

The link should have taken you to the Download tab at the top of the thread, but I guess I broke the link.

All fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

It's unfortunately sad that this is not the first time I have heard a Dev say such things.

remote: 99 unknown fail

so everytime i try to fastboot flash firmware.zip it gives me "Failed (remote: 99 unknown fail) any guidance?

i'm currently running Nusense 4.4 KitKat Rom. when i fastboot oem rebootRUU it brings up a grey HTC logo. then i fastboot flash firmware.zip and then it gives me the failed error mentioned above. there is no progress bar displayed on screen. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Lt. Belspur:
fastboot flash zip 3.11.605.1_firmware.zip

Remove the boot.img from the zip first if you are using another kernel or you will bootloop.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aaronpw0621:
Just curious as to why no deodexed version??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Qskillzwfu25:
Thanks for the response....when i downloaded the file i renamed it to "firmware" and i also deleted the boot.img...any other thoughts or anything else i should delete from the file?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Did you unzip that archive to delete that boot.img or did you simply open the archive and delete it without unzipping? That can make a difference whether it will work or not too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Qskillzwfu25:
just deleted without unzipping (thought i read that you should not unzip)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You should be good to go then.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Lt. Belspur:
Make sure you're not zip.zip

Also,

Just try to flash like the way I did.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
You're running the command wrong now that I think about it. It should be fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Anybody able to get deodexed de-bloated link up?

I haven't posted one yet.

It should be up sometime between now and the end of the week though.

Have a lot going on at home right now, trying to move still and fit this in as I can.

I can't just debloat, deodex, and post without testing to be sure everything is functioning as intended.

So I just need some time to test a bit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Qskillzwfu25:
yes should i disable it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] altvisionx:
I actually meant odexed, not deodexed, but I assume it's the same situation. Thanks a lot :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
No it needs to be enabled, was just checking.

Not sure what else could be tripping you up.

Maybe try a different cable/Usb port, I don't know...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
Well I was close to flashing this but since you said the nusense is a newer build I'll stick with that
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Qskillzwfu25:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Robertjm:
I'm so excited to see the KitKat ROMs being built. I've been on stock 4.2.2 since I bought my HTC One (Verizon) several months ago, and have been fighting back the urge to flash a custom ROM, in hopes that KitKat would be coming soon. Low and behold here it is!

Currently rooted, with S-Off and am downloading the Odexed Full ROM. Have also downloaded the latest firmware. Already have Clockword Mod Touch installed, and will be updating it to the latest version (6.0.4.7) before doing anything further.

Since I'm going from "stock" to "stock" can I do a dirty flash, or is it a requirement that I absolutely have to wipe data too? Just trying to avoid reinstalling a whole bunch of new apps if at all possible.

As a side note, will the debloated version be available? I read back a few pages to see the bad atmosphere that crept in. But, since the full version is (still) available I figured I might ask whether the debloated version is. But, the link isn't fixed.

In any event, thanks for all your hard work Santod!! There are plenty of people that appreciate it.

Later,

Robert
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The other versions are yet to be posted.

Should be up this week, time permitting.

Cwm 6.0.45 should work fine. .47 may give you issues.

You could try a dirty flash but I strongly suggest starting fresh.

I guess make a backup and try it is the best I can say.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JC Why:
Why would you not want to unzip on the mac? I did the following using the built in zip utility on my mac and it worked fine to update my firmware.

Double click the zip file which should expand the archive into it's own folder "XYZ firmware". Go into the folder and delete the boot.img. Go into the XYZ firmware folder and select all of the items. Do a two finger tap (or right click) to bring up the contextual menu and select "compress items". This will make a file called Archive.zip within the XYZ firmware folder. Now you can follow the fastboot instructions with the firmware name of Archive.zip. The key is to compress the contents of the folder and not the folder itself.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Added to post#2: 3.11.605.1 NO Boot.img firmware.zip (use this on custom roms, or for special cases)

Hopefully this just makes life that much easier on everyone. ;)

Thank you for your efforts, Sire!

Have a question on de-bloating. When I try to remove Verizon's visual voicemail (VVM) apk, the icon stays and it crashes HTC messaging app. Also, VVM tab in the messaging app does not disappear, and when I try to access that VVM tab, the messaging app crashes. I was able to get rid of VVM, and the VVM tab in the messaging app, in 4.2 without any issues. Any suggestions?

TIA.

Is it possible to flash an older firmware if you're not happy with the new one or is that not recommended?

Yea it's possible but you may get side effects such as no audio in call or broken Bluetooth.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
Is there an alternate site to download the the 4.4 odexed debloated? I am getting download speeds of 50 KB/sec (very slooow). I have a 50 meg connection, so I know this has to be the download server causing the issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I'm not trying to be rude but email xda since they host it. Maybe if people say something to them enough they will fix it. It seems to be a recurring issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I know it's easy to believe it's completely the server at fault.

But due to the fact that I can download it in 3 minutes, there is something else at play here.

Try starting it over, try a different browser,..you aren't the only one to have this issue, but it also doesn't happen to everyone.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
I'm pretty sure enabling art in nusense isn't even possible since the rom is deodexed. I think art can be enabled by editing an xml somewhere. In /system/customize
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
Yup, needs to be odexed in order to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Makes sense, but I am on the Odexed release. Even more strange that I can't see it
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Art is meant for odexed stock ROMs.

Stock as in Google stock.

HTC has not yet fully implemented or enabled art.

Yes the option is in dev options on NuSense kitkat even though its non functional.

It is not in Dev options in a stock Htc ROM, as like I said, its not fully compatible with Sense yet.

Sense 6 will likely be the first revision to fully utilize and enable Art.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tygray6:
I've never flashed an odexed rom before and I was just wondering what the key things are I would be losing from the deodexed version?

The difference between the two is described in the link in the Op.

The only thing I asked about was an alternate sight. I am MCSA/MCSE qualified, and know what I'm doing with networking, etc. I also had already reported to XDA. Do you think you could try to stop "not trying to be so rude", because a fair portion of your posts do come off sounding rude. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Cares:
ROM is running great. I noticed you left some other "bloat" in here. Would you be able to let us know what I can delete (or would you recommend freezing)?

Polaris Office, TuneIn Radio, and Twitter are some examples but I'm not sure about the more obscure ones.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I always remove the same apps every time, more or less.

They are listed in the Op and that list hasn't changed.

The apps you mention, are bloat to you and useful to others.

The Verizon and Amazon garbage is mainly what I strip out.

You can try making a backup and freezing or uninstalling whatever else you wanna try.

There is no one list of apps that will suit everyone.

Feel free to remove whatever else you want to though.

That's what backups are for. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
You should be able to disable those apps in Settings>Apps. You can also use Titamium backup (and other apps in the Play Store) to uninstall those apps as well. Make sure to do a Nandroid backup first. Hope that helps!

Edit: Thanks Santod. I posted the same time you did. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Cares:
Well of course I understand that there isn't a list that will suit everyone. I'm just wondering if there's a list of what can be removed without causing my phone to FC all the time. I want to strip it down to almost nothing.

Installation fails, format argument count error

Hello. First I'd like to thank you for the time and energy spent to create these rome - especially the debloated version.

I'm trying to install the Odex debloated version (the Deodex links seem to be gone).

I started this exercise after Verizon's OTA to KitKat bricked my phone. Fortunately I was able to find and use a RUU to get it back. Before starting this I was not rooted and I did not have a custom recovery, so I had no really solid backups beyond what was pushed to the cloud. Now that it's back, I've installed current CWM recovery (6.0.4.7) and am attempting to install this ROM.

I seem to have run into a problem:

format() expects 5 args, got 4

E:Error in ...

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

where ... was the full path/filename of the zip. I have confirmed the files I downloaded have the same MD5 as the download page indicates.

It's been a while, but I seem to recall errors like this before on the Nexus and other phones. I think the recovery has a different version of the format command than the rom expects to find. At least I think that is what it was. Googling briefly seems to indicate something along those lines, but I can't discount user error on my part either.

Any suggestions? Or has anyone else seen this and figured out how to work around it?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Use CWM version 6.0.4.5 or TWRP and you will not have any issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Crawshayi:
Pretty sure this has to do with a glitch in CWM. Use 6.0.4.6 or TWRP instead

Hi Santod040,

is the boot image insecure for the odex debloated rom? I was trying to flash different kernels and the phone would just bootloop. It was suggested that the boot image was insecure. Thanks for all the development work you have done for the HTC one! :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yes both the Full and Debloated roms have insecure Boot.img's.

The one in the firmware zips is not though, it's pure stock, secure.

So if you flashed the firmware after the rom, and didn't use the one without the Boot.img, then you may have a secure Boot.img from that.

But the one included in the roms, is insecure, or you would not be able to remove System apps and/or have system R/W access.

Also, usually when a Boot.img is flashed on a rom with a secure Boot.img, you do not get Bootloops from it, you typically get no effect at all.

You would reboot and find that you would still be running the same kernel, not get a bootloop.

So my hunch is that whatever kernel you are trying to use, is not compatible with this rom, and/or is unstable.
