Would this be the recovery to use?
[HTC Droid DNA] clvnptl:
Everything went great with the firmware install! Why did I have to fastboot flash zip firmware.zip twice? I assume the firmware had more than just recovery and radio so i decided to just do the whole thing instead of piecemeal. Also! I think got better reception with the updates!
[HTC Droid DNA] tat2me2:
Why is there no boot.img, I'm thinking this is all I need to resurrect my DNA - Any advice?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
People flash firmware while running custom roms.

If you flash the stock boot.img on anything but stock, you'd likely bootloop.

The stock Rom in this thread comes with the stock boot.img.
[HTC Droid DNA] tat2me2:
Hmm, Thanks for that info, my DNA is stock already, but I somehow missed or messed up a step when getting it back to stock. I can only get it to boot into fastboot and have tried to flash via fastboot oem rebootRUU but not having any luck. Here is what I get when I fastboot getvar all - Do you see anything that might explain what is wrong? Thanks Again

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
You can't flash a modified firmware zip as you are now s-on.

The zips provided here are for folks running custom roms and who are s-off.

You will have to try using an HTC signed firmware package.

Download this Firmware.zip

Do not extract the firmware.zip at all, but try fastboot flashing that in ruu mode.

That is the latest stock signed firmware zip.

It may or may not let you flash it on top of what you have now, but if any firmware zip would, it would be this one.

It contains the entire stock kitkat firmware from the final OTA, including stock boot.img and recovery and may wipe your data if you have any.

Hope that helps, as that's about the only thing I have that may work on an s-on device.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Firmware

I understand that the RUU released by HTC for our DNA's bricked our devices, but would flashing this firmware and the stock ROM/ and/or OTA fix our problems? If not, is there any way for me to contact HTC and aak for a working RUU? And finally, would flashing this via the Linux version of fast boot change anything?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
This firmware is what's been posted in the Op for months, minus the stock boot.img and recovery and the rom has the stock boot.img.

This isn't going to change anything, it was a signed firmware zip for him to try since he was s-on, that's all.

You can try contacting HTC if you wish.

I understand there may be a 4.09.605.

RUU that works, but I have yet to get my hands on it...
[HTC Droid DNA] TweakedSystems:
I had to delete the.zip at the end of the files

for it to flash..hope this helps :)

[HTC Droid DNA] TweakedSystems:
question

wrong ROM :(
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
HTC support is terrible

I contacted HTC about my phone... they said that they would not support an unsupported device and that it isn't their fault their RUU was buggy. Not sure if any update will be coming to fix this. Spent four hours on this just to hear what is already evident.
[HTC Droid DNA] TweakedSystems:
multible boot screens?

After I did the updates > Flashed the Full firmware/radio zip: I am now getting 2 HTC screens and the normal DNA Animation screen..

Is this normal? If so is there a way to change the HTC white screen to a Black screen?
[HTC Droid DNA] IcyAgitator:
[MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] will NuK3rn3L

[MENTION=4803670]iHateWebOS[/MENTION] What is your latest kernel that will work with this rom?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
4.09.605.5 Update

Second Post updated with new 4.09.605.5 Firmware minus stock recovery and boot.img.

Third post updated with new 4.09.605.5 hboot with Red Text Removed and Faux Locked version.

I also posted the OTApkg.zip at the bottom of the second post.

Stock rooted rom will be uploaded tonight... :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
Once again man, THANK YOU for doing these things for us. :highfive:
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
Santod if we flash the new firmware but not the stock rom will we loose root on the rom we are on? Sorry if this is a dumb question, thanks for all your work and I hope the new job is working out ok. Any news on any sense 6 updates (M7)
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
I flashed the firmware and nothing else and all is fine. Still soff and rooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
UPDATED!~

4.09.605.5 Rooted Full Odex Stock Kitkat

Now live in the OP!

Firmware is in post 2, please update this also.

​
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
[MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION], did the hboot version change in this update? I am wondering in sunshine would be a viable alternative if all Verizon did was update the hboot to have the firewater patch the m7 and m8 got. (Edit: and also the towel root exploit patch)
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes, hboot was updated.

4.09.605.5 Rooted Odex

Debloated

Stock Kitkat - Added to the OP!

EXTRA*** Wifi Tethering/Hotspot enabled for all users/account types in Debloated version only!
[HTC Droid DNA] loveuhp:
what's ver of new Hboot 1.57.000000???
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes, it is 1.57.0000
[HTC Droid DNA] IcyAgitator:
What are the differences between this update/firmware and the previous (besides the baseband)?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
The hboot, and modem related firmware files that work with the new baseband.

Firmware isn't really something I can give you details about, as it's non-readable.

Best I can say is that it's been updated and I advise all DNA users to update to it, even if using other custom roms.

I know the previous firmware/software combo for kitkat had some display issues for select Dnas, maybe this will help those.

I can't say for sure, as I did not have the display issues that some had, but it's certainly worth trying.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
ADDED TO OP:

4.09.605.5 Rooted Full Deodex Stock Kitkat

and

4.09.605.5 Rooted Deodex Debloated Stock Kitkat

If any other devs want to make custom 4.4.2 roms from this new stock update, feel free to use my odex or deodex roms as a base.

All I ask for, is proper credits for the base in your OP.

Thanks and enjoy!

You now have 4 options:

Odex full

Odex Debloat

Deodex full

Deodex debloat

[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Sweet. What recovery you using to flash this?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
I'm still using twrp 2.7.0.8.

If it ain't broke.... :)
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
You got a copy of that? Need a good working one that stops rebooting when flashing roms. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
That's the same one. haha

Reason why, was I think everyone was using my old script and binary.

I updated the updater script and binary this time to get around that/fix that.

Try it, if you haven't yet and let me know.

Otherwise I'll upload the one I have.

If/when that does happen, just return to recovery and reflash without wiping and it will finish.

But these shouldn't do that...
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
I'm flashing your rom now. Only happens after a full wipe. And it didn't reboot on your ROM but mine it did. Must have been the updater script. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] natgear2510:
On "New" 4.09.605.5 Firmware, No Red Text Hboot, & Debloated Odex ROM!!!! Everything running GREAT as expected. Big thanks to [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] for keeping these DNA's alive!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Dumb question but is there a way to make a complete firmware zip to be used in recovery as my pc crashed
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
You cannot flash the firmware in recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Whens deodexed version coming?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Already posted this morning. ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] loveuhp:
im using odex ver, some lag animation
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Make sure you updated your firmware as well.

If it lags, blame HTC.

It's their stock Rom for the DNA. [emoji3]

I haven't noticed anything unusual.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Wow im blind. Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
Tried to flash this tonight. Coming from tiKtaK, flashed the firmware(nobootimg) yesterday. flashed the odex/debloat version this evening, hear the droid sound, backlight is on, screen doesn't show anything. Reboot into recovery, wipe again, reflash the zip, same issue.

Flashed an old zip of nusense six MAX (what's the difference between max and not? anything super cool?), phone behaving as normal.

MD5 checked out.

Any idea what might be the issue?
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
try again but when you go back into recovery dont wipe just reflash.
[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
Did this. Phone boots up fine, but pretty much all of the apps throw a fit, including sense, which means the phone is more or less unusable in this state.

Edit: Clearing app data restores functionality, as you may have been able to guess.
[HTC Droid DNA] takota6:
Any1 seeing some positive with signal/handoffs etc?

Æaaa..\../
[HTC Droid DNA] finanandroid:
Beside the awesome job Santod did here, I dont know what the h

verizon/htc did wrong

being using Santod Stock 4.09.605.1 no problem at all. The new firmware and vzw software suck

slow internet connection some times lost, at times unresponsive wifi connection, web sites videos

unresponsive ( ok with youtube) home screen no smooth like before. am in Straight Talk ATT

I did flash new firmware, new Rom software Stock, flash stock recovery, factory reset. so start

out of the box. nope still suck. reverting back.... JFYI
[HTC Droid DNA] daydave100:
Hey, so I saw that my phone was downloading the OTA package this morning when I woke up.. I let it do its thing and then made a backup of the OTApkg from /cache, and pressed Install Later.

I'm rooted and s-off, is it fine to take the update? Or should I flash the firmware.zip posted here later..?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
You can install stock recovery and take the OTA.

If you are running pure stock, with no modifications or missing files.

Otherwise it will surely fail.

I would suggest, just updating the firmware from post 2 and flash the stock rooted Rom in the OP.

Much easier and less chances of failure.
[HTC Droid DNA] HaNNibalHector:
any chance this firmware would resolve the 'preparing sim card' issue? im on nusense six and the intermittent sim card issue makes me nuts. perfect rom otherwise!
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
That's not a rom issue or firmware issue.

That is a sim card tray issue.

You can get a new sim card from Verizon

Get a new Sim card tray from HTC

Or put tape on the back of your current sim.

I haven't once had that issue, but I use a micro sim from my m8, with an adapter.

Which is likely thicker then your current sim card and keeps good contact.

In other words, firmware isn't your problem, it's your sim card, tray, and/or slot.

So I would try the above suggestions...but updating your firmware is never a bad idea, just won't help with what you are asking about.
[HTC Droid DNA] daydave100:
When I try to flash the updated rom in recovery, I get this error:

There's also a

Warning: No file_contexts

....in the beginning, but I don't know if that's relevant.

I debloated the rom myself because I like to know what was taken out, but I also tried flashing one that I didn't change.

My phone gets bricked after these attempts and I am forced to flash the 4.09.605.1 rom to fix it.

Anyone know what's going on?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Obviously a recovery issue.

What recovery are you using?

I used and tested with Twrp 2.7.0.8 only...try that.
[HTC Droid DNA] loveuhp:
Im using GSM so it always show "unknow SIM" at every boot.

who can remove it plz?
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Sorry if i missed this but i have a engineering hboot should i change it before updating the firmware?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
The firmware will update it for you.

But yes, to run current roms, you'll wanna be on the included hboot.

As the old Eng hboot is quite outdated and known to cause touchscreen issues on current roms, among other potential issues.

After updating the firmware, you can flash my modified hboot to get rid of the red development text, from this latest firmware, from post 3.
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:
Thanks bro

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

With your hboot can i flash custom splash screens
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes you can.
[HTC Droid DNA] loveuhp:
Debloated ver??

it means light version?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Yes, basically has all the Vzw and Amazon garbage apps removed.

Which you could install from the Play Store anyways, if you really wanted them.

All HTC features and functions are still intact.
[HTC Droid DNA] Drunkula:
Was it my imagination or does the current version have more Amazon bloat than the prior version? Seems like I had to freeze much more this time.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nirvana Rules:
How can I flash firmware with out pc?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
You can't, sadly. Only way to update firmware without a PC is to take the OTA from stock and have the phone update it.

That sucks... My laptop is out of commission atm

Make sure ADB is set up correctly in your C drive (or your command drive). Install HTC Sync manager and then uninstall it but leave the drivers. Worked on 8.1 this way for me
[HTC Droid DNA] gillim74:

Here is the video link
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
Hey santod I just tried flashing the firmware update but I keep getting an error saying it failed, re downloaded the file no go, updated SDK still no go. Any tips?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
I would need your input command and the exact error message to be able to better help you.

Either copy & paste it here or take a screen grab of it and upload.

Chances are, either your firmware file is not in the right directory(where fastboot.exe is) or you have named the file something.zip.zip.

Since Windows hides known file extensions by default, this happens often to Windows users. (remove visible .zip from the filename)
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
Thanks OK I'll get that for you tomorrow I literally just shut down my computer haha
[HTC Droid DNA] mcsplatt:
Thanks santod for the Rom, does exactly what it should plus native Wi-Fi tether, makes it a keeper. Getting it working on sense6 roms was problematic for me (no time, wife, 2y.o., moving and remodeling)

any help would be appreciated !

thanks !
[HTC Droid DNA] iHateWebOS:
You will not get much help with any bugs you have because you do not have a Verizon HTC droid DNA. What you have is a htc butterfly variant(there's lots of them) and so while you MAY have had some success booting aosp based ROMs. I highly doubt anything you flash from the DNA forums will work exactly the way the developers here intended.
[HTC Droid DNA] neelgangrade:
Htc deluxe/droid dna

see i have htc deluxe ! which is a true copy of DROID DNA ! its an unlocked version of droid dna and doesnt have verizon written over it !

another thing, its world phone, runs both LTE, UMTS, CDMA, GSM versions, EVDO etc etc !!

i figure out to and took a risk of flashing recovery, it goes on perfect, i took the first nandroid back up of everything,

flahshed cm 11 M12 over it ! everything is working great !

no issues as of now, what i did, i updated the build.prop. hack to htc droid dna verizon model.

i just need to update hboot to run sense roms, i will not touch the radio/baseband, because i dont wanna loose it any cost.

AND ITS NOT BUTTERFLY, I CROSS CHCKED !

u can say m playing safe :)

Don't quote the entire OP haha.

Did you try just reflashing the rom again without wiping?

And your firmware is current?
[HTC Droid DNA] Epiel:
bro I want to know something!!

Im from Dominican Republic, Im using this htc dna but I have a problem with data connection, so with this rom mobile data show turning on later disconnected but with other rom I have no problem so I would stay with this stock rooted rom, so what you thing is the problem?? software or the phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Did you update your firmware from post #2?
[HTC Droid DNA] Epiel:
Yes everything, hboot, firmware, baseband, etc...
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
All of that is in one zip file.

You only need to flash the one.

Is this the one you used?

KitKat 4.09.605.5 NoBootImg_firmware.zip LATEST***

I would only suggest trying it again, to make sure you didn't overwrite any parts of it, if you flashed other files.

There's not much else I can do other then suggest that, as this is the stock rom how HTC sent it.

If it doesn't work for you, there's likely not much I can do.
[HTC Droid DNA] DarkMD:
I have the same problem and im from Panamá so maybe is sim card/gsm related?

Slow Wifi

Just used fastboot to update to KitKat 4.09.605.5 NoBootImg_firmware.zip

Now my wifi is extremely slow, if I turn it off and use 4g it is normal. But wifi is going at like 10kbps. I even tried wiping and reinstalling a different ROM. Should I go back to a previous version?

EDIT: check that even 4g is acting up now. It is fine for a while then dropping in and out and going slow.
