This file below is the Stock RUU only for the HTC Desire 816W / A5_DUG !

[MENTION=5349903]Known69[/MENTION] Based off of you stating it was an Desire 816W via msg.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/h32sc97xl...8.3230.00D_F_release_389233_signed_2.zip?dl=1

Download it and make a copy of it.

Now rename both copies.

-Name one 0P9CIMG.zip

-Name one 0PC9DIAG.zip

Not sure which name your device uses but its one of these so just test both starting with the first one or put two copies one of each on your device.

You'll know because when you put this on the phone and go back into the bootloader it will ask you to use Volume Key to confirm the update. (Check to make sure it says A5_dug at the top)

Do this and let it update & complete.

Once done you can start up and update if its available but I'm pretty sure this is the latest full stock update for your device.

If its in Chinese and you want it to be a different language simply skip past everything and go into settings.

Go to this icon -> [[[A] (Should be the 7th icon from the bottom.)

Now select the first option.

Choose your language.

Done!

(P.S. Now you can root if you'd like!)
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
Thanks for you time sir.

I have sent you PM regarding further issue if any, otherwise.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
Just tried with your solution.

The steps which i followed are:

Downloaded and renamed to the first name which you gave(0P9CIMG.zip) and placed in SDcard.

Loaded bootloader-->FastBoot-->Checking SD... and got an error "No image or Wrong image".

Then renamed it to "0PC9DIAG.zip" and repeated the same procedure and still got the same error.

Verified it was A5_dug and in the fast line it was stating "LOCKED" in red color, don't know if it is normal for this procedure or need it Unlocked.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Do you see the green text that goes on and off within 3-4 seconds? In that green text when you first enter the bootloader it has the correct name that the file needs to be named.

Once it's on the SD/internal storage you don't have to click fastboot for it to flash. It will automatically scan and detect the moment after you see the green text in hboot/ first screen of bootloader.

As an alternative, you could also just flash the .zip image with

fastboot flash zip "zipname"

So for future example it will be

fastboot flash zip 0PC9IMG.zip

(No quotes)

Also you can type fastboot getvar all

It will show all your device information for you to double check everything is correct.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
I tried but it's reading both the files.

In first line **DIAG..Wrong or no image, continues in second line too. In third line **IMG.zip...Wrong or no image, continues in 4th line too. Now comes back to main boot loader screen.

I didn't get your manual instruction.

Where should I write those commands and which file as by default both the files are selected as stated above.

Thanks.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Doesn't matter which file you use and you can use those commands via fastboot in the bootloader, not hboot. Basically when you go into the bootloader just press the power button once and you'll be in fastboot. Plug it into your PC and use the command I posted above with adb on your PC to flash either file.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
I got the error.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Well when you enter the bootloader, the green text that comes up has the exact name that needs to be used for your device's RUU. I noticed that with the Virgin Mobile model it was 0P9CDIAG.zip

I also saw that some people stated their device says 0P9CIMG.zip

Your device zip name requirement could be different depending on the variant and you might have to reboot a few times to get the correct name written down correctly but it should be something along those lines provided above. Instead of IMG or DIAG it might say something else.

I also found the RUU for the Virgin Mobile model and I tested it but it only works when the device has the stock recovery and root permissions are removed.

When you remove all root from inside the SuperSU settings you HAVE to make sure to uninstall the app itself to ensure your device is completely stock. Use titanium backup if you have to.

After that I relocked my bootloader then the RUU flashed just by putting it on my SD card.

What I REALLY want to know is how your device has S-OFF. :o

Could you possibly make a CWM backup of your device and upload it? The boot.img would be really helpful with development of this device if S-OFF is achieved.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
Can you please help me achieving this "Could you possibly make a CWM backup of your device and upload it? The boot.img would be really helpful with development of this device if S-OFF is achieved."

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
I will get the correct file for your device I noticed the CID and the S-OFF on your device. Is it possible to contact the source from where you obtained your device to ask them how they obtained those statuses?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
I bought it from eBay and seller don't want to disclose the information :(

But he told he imported from Taiwan. I am sure he has tweaked something, he's fraud.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwin Khullar:
Bro For solving this issue you need twrp installed on your device.

Then ask someone for your stock recovery image and a twrp backup.

After obtaining this flash the image and install the backup and then try the OTA Update and im sure you will now be able to update :)

Now another problem raised.

I am unable to install Google Play store apps.

As there is no Google Play official app built in and also when i installed it manually it open and closes with some milliseconds.

Can i do something for this without rooting ?

Thanks.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baager:
No way -- you have to re-unlock boot loader again - root

only that way ???

Those statuses are not a negative thing. Its an amazing achievement for every device actually. Lol
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
That's nice to know.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Have you flashed it a second time?

You should flash the RUU twice to ensure everything went properly. The one I posted for you was an updated version from the current bootloader that you have.

Simply install it again and use the wipe cache option inside of the stock recovery. If you see a red exclamation mark after pressing recovery in the bootloader, just keep pressing vol up and down one at a time until the blue text appears.

You'll see the factory reset option along with a few others including wipe cache. You can also use factory reset first then flash the RUU the second time.

Make sure your SD card is out if you have the *****IMG.zip file on it because it will automatically start flashing it the moment you go into the bootloader with it on there.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
I tried this and worked for now.

Should i do the above procedure btw ?

Also i didn't get what you said.

Can you give me your skype so that we can do it in realtime, i am worried if something goes wrong as i don't understand what is stock, bootleader...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
As long as your device is S-OFF you can flash any version ruu for your device. Has to be the same region/model number though.

Basically nothing to worry about.

Don't even worry about the bootloader.

To flash the ruu go into fastboot mode and type:

fastboot oem lock

This will lock the bootloader.

Don't forget, to flash the ruu you need to be in the bootloader in fastboot mode and type:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then run the

fastboot flash zip xxxxxxxx.zip

(replace xxxxxxxx with the name of the ruu file)

I will send the information requested as well via direct PM
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
After that should I clear cache too ?

Again confused with which steps to do first :)

Waiting for your PM.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
It does the factory restore with the caches wipe for you so there's no need to do this :)

You could boot into the bootloader again and do it from the stock recovery by pressing factory restore and it'll take you to the stock recovery menu.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
You mean once again I should flash **DIAG.zip?

Then press factory reset ?

Thanks.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
It's always a good idea to always flash twice with an RUU without restarting or rebooting.

After this is done you can just boot up. It has already been factory restored.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
Now that I flashed that ROM and already using it. So now should I reflash it only once or twice again ?

Btw I need real-time help. I have 2 days of holidays you can give me your own time. :angel:
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
If it's already running your good to go. No need to flash it again. That's also the latest update for the model your using so feel free to set it up as you would like.

Remember, to fix the language to what you prefer simply go into settings and look for the language and keyboard icon which is an A in a box similar to this icon ->[[A]]].

Once your inside press the first option at the top which is the set language option and choose the language of choice.

If you need anything else in detail I can help by starting the live chat to assist.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3h:
I think it's all fine for now, everything running as usual.

In future if i get any problems, hope you resolve them :)

Thanks a lot for your guidance throughout the procedure.

As for KK going to MM it is really up to the developers of HTC if they decide to update that variant but with the S-Off option available you could possibly flash another DUAL SIM 816 Rom. It would have to support all the hardware and you would have your CID at all 1's.

Now as for root if you use any CWM or TWRP, you have to execute the flash for the Recovery a few times if one time through doesn't allow it to be loaded. I've had this issue where i had to execute it twice or three times when switching between TWRP/CWM. I usually do it 3-5 times before a reboot.

But please once you have your recovery don't consistently reflash between the two this will cause "wear & tear" on your phones flash/eeprom memory. Kind of like the MyTouch4G back in the days. Except eeproms are stronger now and flashing recoveries require less from the system since now they have a recovery.img. Some phones required rewriting the entire device with SuperSU just stuck inside the stock image between apps & making the device think its just another stock app. Or giving SuperSU a different app name to install under then updating from the playstore and changing the app swapped that was used by name into SU permanently and so many other methods. I'm not a developer just well informed and willing to share the information im knowledgeable in and no, Ive never had any device besides the MyTouch4G become bricked.

Ive had a few devices, S1-S7, LG Optimus G & GPro, G2-G4(Current), Note 1-5 & Edge, HTC One Series 7,8,9,max,E.

The list goes on.

Hello, thanks for the reply! the link you sent me is expired and no longer avalable :(.

I see many htc 816 with RUU and Recovery and not this one. it is very frustrating since it can be a really good device with better support.

You say you have to flash 3 or 4 times the recovery before it worked?

Thanks!

http://xdaforums.com/desire-816/general/ruu-lollipop-a5dug-firmware-to-fix-wifi-t3126905

Yes, thats correct. I flashed the recovery 3-5 times before rebooting from fastboot. Sometimes one flash is good enough sometimes it just doesn't register that command is coming through.

Also, a faulty cable is usually the end for this device as I tested why people were having the issue with a dead battery/non charging devices (and possibly bad recovery flashes?). Its simply from the volts/watts consistently/rapidly triggering on and off charging the battery. This is a problem with many phones such as the iPhone's 20% issue. It basically glitches the battery file to make it think its at 100% when in reality each rapid trigger on and off causes the device to "jump" percentages. Odd hm? This issue could be fixed with a battery pull discharging and connecting the battery. Basically your finger on the power button the entire time while putting the battery in and taking it out. Lol, yes the iPhone would require removing the shield plate. (off topic sort of but useful info).

Kind of like discharging a tv after being in a surge/power outage except you open the tv and drain the capacitors with a ground and it resets it to 0 in "stored voltage". As long as the capacitors arent swollen, blown fuses aren't present or resistors are tested to be within stock range your good to go. Lol.

I'm pretty new to the world of Android and was wondering what are some "best"/"good" apps to hide your identity online? I've looked at the Google Play Store for Tor related apps but unsure if they're actually secure and reliable? What do you guys use for security/anonymity?
[General Topics] ishaang:
I use Spotflux and Hotspot Shield and I find that both are pretty good.
[General Topics] Rebekka_Sun:
Have you ever tried disconnect me? Or just activate private mode in Firefox
[General Topics] anonify:
There are two main Tor apps on the play store: Orbot and Orxy. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. I've used both, and both work well.

Private mode in Firefox does not make you anonymous.

Using normal VPNs doesn't make you anonymous either. The VPN provider has all your details.

Remember, just using Tor will not make you fully anonymous. The torproject.org website has details, and the Orxy app store page has some tips.

IS it really that easy to steal ID from your phone?
[General Topics] ishaang:
The OP wants to browse the web anonymously and such services are helpful for that.

Its not to prevent your ID from getting 'stolen' but more to make sure you are not being tracked, access sites that may be blocked on your corporate network or country, etc. Ofcourse there are countless other uses as well.

Ill give you one small example - if you want to access a job portal from your work computer without being worried your company can see you are looking for a new job, you can use a VPN to sort of 'mask' the internet traffic.

Or if you live in a country where YouTube is blocked and you want to access it...

Hey guys,

I've spent 2 hours searching, but I can't find any clear or up-to-date information. I have a Verizon Wireless Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545 running VRUFNC5), and I will be switching from Verizon to T-Mobile. I've read that the VZW Galaxy S4 does not have the AWS 1700 band enabled, but then I've read that recent updates have enabled it. So, I'm confused.

Will my phone be able to access ALL T-Mobile bands (3G, 4G, 4G LTE, etc) to fully access T-Mobile's network?

If not, what bands will I be missing? Am I able to flash the radio or modify any settings to activate any particular bands?

Thanks everyone!
