Ok, so you now have a current rom and need/want to update your firmware:

If that is the case, I have supplied the firmware.zip here, that will update the firmware and radios to the latest version.

How to flash the Full firmware/radio zip:

Download the appropriate firmware version for your stock based rom:

4.09.605.8_NoBootImg_NoRecovery_FULL_COMBO_FIRMWARE LATEST***

FULL_COMBO: Contains all previous and current firmware files.

Is all you need, coming from any previous version.

KitKat 4.09.605.5 NoBootImg_firmware.zip

KitKat 4.09.605.1 NoBootImg_firmware.zip

Jellybean 3.06.605.4 firmware.zip

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.

Put the device in fastboot mode

(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)

Connect the device to the computer

Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:

fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip)

It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and will be running the latest firmware and radios.

If you have any questions or issues, let me know.

OTA Package for the 4.09.605.5 Update

OTA Package for the 4.09.605.8 Update

Radio - Flashable Zips

I suggest flashing the FULL Firmware without boot.img at the top of this post, instead of just radio alone.

As firmware contains other important radio/modem related files, that work along with the matching baseband.

4.09.605.5 OTA: Baseband 1.02.01.0818 Recovery Flashable Zip

4.09.605.1 OTA: Baseband 1.02.01.0207 Recovery Flashable Zip

Recovery - Stock 4.4.2

4.09.605.5 Stock DNA Recovery

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Does the red development text on the splash screen bother you after unlocking your device?

If so, I have a modified hboot for you that takes care of it.

This was simply hex edited by me to remove the text from the screen, no other changes were made.

I have tested it and it is 100% proven to work without any side effects.

FROM THIS >>> TO THIS >>>

Let's get to it!

You must be S-Off to do this!

To Install:

Download your modified hboot:

No Red Text 4.09.605.8 hboot

No Red Text 4.09.605.5 hboot

No Red Text 4.09.605.1 hboot

​

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.

Put the device in fastboot mode

(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)

Connect the device to the computer

Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:

fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip nameoffile_hboot.zip (this flashes the modified hboot zip file)

Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!

The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!

The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
​

fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and not see the red text anymore. ;)

If you have any questions or issues, let me know.

Now for my RED TEXT: :p

Disclaimer
​

You are aware that writing to the security protected partitions increases your risk to lose the device exponentially.

You understand and agree that i cannot be held responsible for such or any other damages.

The flash process is theoretically safe and tested, however you are the brains behind the wheel and you are solely responsible for the execution of the process.

I will not accept any responsibility. The method itself is developed by Google and HTC, i only provide access and information to it and you execute it.

You understand that you should not do it if you are not willing to accept this risk.

If you plan on reverting to stock-relocked, for any reason:

You should follow the above steps first, but use this Stock firmware/hboot instead.

Do this before you relock the bootloader.
​

-FAUX LOCKED HBOOTS-

(not really Locked and S-on but appear that way)

Since I initially posted this:

I had a couple requests for a modified hboot that shows the device as being Locked and S-On, while being completely unlocked and S-Off.

I went ahead and made that as per request and have tested it as well.

The process is the same as the one I wrote above, with the exception of the filename.

4.09.605.5 Faux Locked hboot

4.09.605.1 Faux Locked hboot.

​

Enjoy and be careful!!

[HTC Droid DNA] zhp pilot:
Wasn't the update for Sense 5? Not 5.5.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes it was and I just saw that and was fixing the OP.

Had it posted in another forum as well which is where I saw it first.

Sorry about that, been running 5.5 for so long it's hard to think about 5.0 anymore. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] zhp pilot:
Good deal. Thanks for the rom. I'm a big fan of stock/stockish roms.
[HTC Droid DNA] Symbiontsoul:

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Today is not my day, hah.

Sorry guys/girls, reuploading, the md5 on the server doesn't match what I have here.

One of these days AFH will get it right on the first upload...:rolleyes:

I apologize for the inconvenience/confusion.

I will post again in here once it's up and complete.

MD5 should be: 30759997547d2e1f23c0ced52ab3a3fa once it's up.

Installed the radio only. I noticed that the op says 1.01.01.1012 and so does t1gartist's thread. When I look at bootloader and system>about I see 1.01.01.1112 is this just a typo?

I'm posting from my phone now, so it does work :) thanks!

-HTC Droid DNA-
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yeah it works and you are correct.

I was going by this image/document that Verizon had posted.

But indeed the radios are 1.01.01.1112

Rom link is up finally.........:good:

I'm curious does ISIS mobile wallet show in the market for this rom stock?
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Now is the the newest radio update and will the radio update work with any custom rom or do you half to flash this stock rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
I don't have tampered flag.

But what I am referring to is like this, do not do this, this is for the m7

But there is a way to do the same process on the Dna, just need the proper block path.
[HTC Droid DNA] IcyAgitator:
I see what you are saying......he would need to get the partition lists first. It will display the mmcblk. But even if unlocked and s-off the extended fastboot commands found in the Eng-hboot would not work unless the stock hboot was patched or that is what I think.

** eitherway, best left to someone with knowledge of this area.

Fyi twrp Back Up fail

Nandroid Back Up from Twrp 2.7 Official Fail

unable to back up Ota Rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Then I would use another recovery to back it up.

Post a recovery log in twrp thread?

No idea why it would fail, but that would be a recovery issue more so then a rom issue.

U are correct I have been on eng-hboot the entire time I just remember at the time I unlocked (I thought) was when HTCdev wasn't working anymore for unlock. Because I don't have CID22222 or CID11111 but I didn't j-tag it either. Anyways, u say there's a way to get rid of it through fastboot? I know it doesn't make any operating difference but ur right it is a dead giveaway and that's something I would want to avoid.

sent from my DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
the only way you used htcdev is if you got the phone early enuff that you either used an app or adb to change the cid wich let you use htcdev unlock,then later use facepalm for s off.

if you used moonshine,you likely have never used htcdev,and have the tampered flag because of an insecure boot image flashed by moonshine during the process.

anyway,i used a dna until i dropped a week or so ago and shattered the screen(:(),so ive looked at it pretty extensively. you can lock and unlock with m7 commands,that flag is in the same location:

lock:

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

unlock:

echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

when i looked at mine,the tampered flag was in p7, at 00411805,so i used:

echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=4265989

however i did receive a message from someone who claimed his flag was one spot left or right of that,i cant remember... so if the command doesnt work,or if youd just like me to check beforehand,dump and upload p7 and send me a link

change your cid back to vzw if its supercid with

fastboot oem writecid VZW__001

hope that helps :)

[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
Does anyone know if the old flashable zip to remove the wifi notification in the dropdown panel works on this new rom? Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] underwaterjr:
I would doubt it. That probably just replaces the htc-framework apk which would be different than the one released yesterday. I just opened the zip and took out the right pngs and presto no nagging Wi-Fi icon in the status bar.
[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
I don't mind the icon in the status bar, it's the persistent notification in the pull-down drawer that I want to get rid of.
[HTC Droid DNA] underwaterjr:
Hmm I don't have that. I even disconnected from Wi-Fi and had open networks around. Nothing in the pull down.
[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
Interesting. I'm going to wipe and do a clean flash. I've been putting it off forever, but all these little things are driving me nuts. Might as well take the time and do it right. Besides, it's slow at work right now! :D
[HTC Droid DNA] underwaterjr:
Yeah I clean flashed and don't have any problems as of yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
This might seem like a stupid question, but it's been a while since I've done this. What partitions/areas do I have to wipe to get a "true" clean install? The rom zip is on the "sdcard", so I can't really wipe that or I'll have no rom left to flash! I want to get it as close to factory as possible so I can squash all these little annoyances I have! Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] underwaterjr:
I do a factory reset, then format system and dalvik cache.
[HTC Droid DNA] teckels:
Thanks for posting [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]

Mine actually says tampered and relocked. would you guys recommend trying to unlock again with htcdev? I am still s-off
[HTC Droid DNA] duffman452001:

I don't know about you guys, but after flashing the firmware and the stock ROM yesterday the battery life is really nice today. Granted I haven't really been messing with the phone due to a couple of programming projects I need to complete today, but still, i'd be down in the 75% range by now usually and I'm still at 88%.

Just to clarify this would be identical to the update verizon just released, with the exception that it lets me be rooted with s-off? Just making sure. Thanks for putting this together. I look forward to trying this out.

That's correct. :good:

Any other way to do the firmware without adb, my windows partition just won't install sdk tools and my arch linux adb skills are non existent.

Would it be possible to have a flashable zip that would work with twrp ??
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
[MENTION=3125864]-Protos[/MENTION],

When I plug my phone into my PC, for some reason I can't access the internal storage. But I can still send ADB commands and flash things via Fastboot/ADB.

May want to try it anyway and see how it goes.

I am the opposite, I can see everthing, move, delete, rename files etc ..... but trying to run an adb is useless. Tried multiple versions of the sdk .... bleh such a pain.

[HTC Droid DNA] luisrojito:
I'm confused over here

I'm a little confused now..... do the zip file in the download link 4.09.605.1 Rooted Full Odex Stock Kitkat (dlx-kitkat_Full-Odex_4.09.605.1_CL322791.zip) have radio included???

Do I have to install the firmware and radio in the second post to have the rom working?

and finally I have hboot 1.33.0001 is that a problem for installing this ROM

I'm not in the US so can't go back to stock recovery relock nad get the update that way

also I'm S-OFF CID-22222222 and TWRP v2.4.0beta

What do you recommend?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Custom roms will never install a radio.

Although this is a stock packaged rom, it is not a factory RUU or OTA zip, so it does not flash the radios.

You should flash the firmware in post #2 which has the secured boot.img removed, but contains latest hboot, firmware, and radios.
[HTC Droid DNA] luisrojito:
thanks

So the firmware first and then the rom??

will I loose s-off installing that?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
No you won't lose s-off, this is a rooted stock rom.

Only way to lose s-off is to manually reset the security flag using adb commands.

Yes, fastboot flash the firmware and then flash the rom in recovery.

I have tried redownloading the file. Do you know what could be causing this?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yeah there is no android info.txt file for it to be fastboot flashed in that way.

You can adb sideload it or you can take the .txt file from the firmware zip in post two and put it in the root of the Rom zip.

Then it would fastboot flash that way.

Or flash it using a custom recovery.

[HTC Droid DNA] skipwagner:
If I have Twrp, would I be able to flash this through Twrp? Currently don't have adb working correctly on any computers at the moment.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes, the rom is flashable in recovery, just like any other custom/non-oem packaged rom.

The firmware is not. I recommend updating the firmware, first chance you get.

While the rom may or may not function 100% even if you don't, it won't be optimal.
[HTC Droid DNA] skipwagner:
Ah. So firmware I can't update unless I use a pc. Crap. Thank you.

try installing pdanet+ on your computer. it will automatically download and install the correct drivers for your phone to use ABD. I'd say 80% of the issues people have with abd is driver based.

I just flashed the updated firmware following the instructions in the second post. My bootloader also says tampered now and when booting the device says it is for dev purposes. I unlocked and s-off'ed with moonshine. Saw someone else say the same thing, just adding my case as another evidence of this. Thanks for all the help.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
The red development text is normal when you unlock a device.

To get rid of the red development text on the splash screen, you can just flash my modified hboot from post 3.

Tampered depends on other variables, which do not effect me and technically has nothing to do with the rom or firmware.

It's related to how you unlocked and s-off'd your device, and is unrelated to this thread really.

The only significance this has on that, is now you can see the flag, whereas something you had done previously was hiding it.
[HTC Droid DNA] underwaterjr:
I did a clean flash and have HTC browser also and I dug through the zip and found it as well.

This is a pure stock Verizon rom.

I may still do that, but you will have a tough time tethering on the stock rom, as is.
[HTC Droid DNA] Imacellist:
That would be great. Seems to be a bit difficult to get tethering going. Anyone find anything that works yet?

After installing firmware/baseband in post#2, then flashing the ROM "4.09.605.1 Rooted Full Odex Stock Kitkat", (used TWRP) everything works great.

Including Google Wallets tap and pay. (Just used tap & pay at McDonald's this morning:) It finally works!:good:

If anyone is new to installing firmware, you can use the tool provided in this thread for installing ADB, fastboot and drivers by Snoop05:

[WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers (It was what I used)

It is important to take the time and learn the basics about ADB and Fastboot.

Just drop santod040's file "KitKat 4.09.605.1 NoBootImg_firmware.zip" into the adb folder (C:\adb) created using the above tool. Then rename it firmware.zip

* Hold shift and right click the adb folder, then select "Open command window here"

* After CMD prompt comes up, then follow santod040's commands in post #2

Thank you santod040 for your contributions to the DNA. I look forward to your work with my next soon to be phone HTC M8.

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
The firmware will flash the latest hboot, so no need to change it first, it will be changed when you flash the firmware.

There is a modified one in the third post that you can flash after that, if the red development text on startup bugs you.

Yeah, I got the MyVerizon one too. I'm assuming that if it gets denied root privileges that's still enough for them to know you're rooted, or does it have to be granted access? I denied requests from both MyVerizon and HTC phone.
