[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
These Informationen are pretty much useless as they're representing the base of the rom you're using and not the firmware of your phone. As suggested in my thread you should read its first page and my google sheet. And please don't cross-post the same issue in several threads. That's considered as rude behavior since people who want to help might not notice that the problem already got solved in a different thread and so they only waste their time by recommending solutions that aren't needed anymore. Not every user is following every thread.

Edit:

That is not completely correct. Some of these information only apply to older HTC phone but not the M9. First, you only need fat32 if your firmware is 2.x or lower (3.x can use exfat, too) and second the M9 wants you to boot to download mode instead of the bootloader if you want to flash a RUU. More information can be found in my google sheet.
[One (M9) General] seanay00:
Thats all the information my phone is giving me. Ive found the stock AU firmware but im trying to work out how to flash it. As soon as i go into download mode my laptop wont see the phone. From what ive read i have all the tools and have looked through a few guides on here, including your own but cant seem to get the ball rolling on the stock flash?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
If you had read my guide you would've known where to find the firmware version of your phone. Besides you would've known that you don't need any tool for flashing. Neither for my backups nor for one of the RUUs. ;)
[One (M9) General] seanay00:
Yep found the stock rom thankyou :) Every firmware flash guide i can find is S-OFF mine is S-ON.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Sorry, but I really have to ask that question: Are you kidding me? The whole purpose of my sheet is that people without S-OFF can get back to stock. I still can't believe that you read it.

S-OFF is needed if you want to flash unsigned firmware packs like the ones made by sneakyghost or unsigned RUUs (which are marked as "combined") or if you want to flash a RUU that is older than your current firmware (in other words if you want to perform a downgrade).
[One (M9) General] seanay00:
oh ok my bad. Yes i read the guide wrong. Ok i will have a go and see if it all works out. Thanks for your help flippy and i apologise for my noobness. lol

How to back stock ROM marshmallow ? Link download or tutorial
[One (M9) General] haydnlj:
FYI nougat v4.23.841.1 from Telstra likely due 24 Feb 17.

[One (M9) General] mrbtree98:
That's interesting as Vodafone has finished testing as well and we're getting the January security patch. The update hasn't been approved though so it could still fail testing.
[One (M9) General] mrbtree98:
Update for Vodafone au is live. Didn't grab a screenshot but update is available to download.
[One (M9) General] haydnlj:
Lucky you (I assume!) - Telstra missed their suggested date Friday, and as yet no update. Hopefully no battery dramas with the update, as there have been in the past.
[One (M9) General] mrbtree98:
Well I've got massive battery drain to the tune of half of my normal sot. Used to be able to get 3 1/2 to 4hrs. Now lucky to get 2hrs. I'm still looking to find the root cause but I think its the ota itself. I'm going to do some more testing before I hand it into Vodafone like they've asked me to. I have had a weird issue with my phone where it would turn off anywhere between 5-25% which was annoying but it wasn't a major issue so I might just give it to them to fix (hopefully for free but doubt it)
[One (M9) General] JUBAiR:
Android Nougat

Suddenly got the System update notification yesterday on my M9 (Optus Network). Updated to Android 7.0. Unfortunately moved to Google Pixel, so not my daily phone now.
[One (M9) General] haydnlj:
FTFY!

Just got my Telstra notification - hopefully the update is a good one
[One (M9) General] Baalzaman:
I found this with the Nougat update for my Vodafone One M9 - turned out it was the One Gallery app. When I opened that app it had a message that the app was being discontinued, so I removed the app, and battery drain issue was fixed.
[One (M9) General] mrbtree98:
I also uninstalled that app but the drain remained
[One (M9) General] Alternate_DM:
Hi All, Telstra branded HTC One M9 here, been running the stock ROM for a few months. I did have a custom firmware a while ago.

Just noticed the new OTA update from Telstra, tried to install it; forgot I still had TWRP recovery.

So I installed stock recovery... and this is where i think I stuffed up, I have the European recovery installed; update won't take, I get:

"E3001: Package expects build fingerprint of yada yada Telstra yada; this device has htc/himauhl_htc_europe/htc_imauhl:5.0.2/LR"

expected i guess. So I've tried flashing the full Telstra stock ROM linked above, renamed copied to ext sd, file is found and starts downloading, but then i get:

19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i

I don't have a backup of my stock recovery anymore (maybe I do, ill have to dig deeper)

My CID is TELST001

MID is 0PJA10000

S-On

Whats my next step?
[One (M9) General] Alternate_DM:
So, I extracted the stock recovery from the Telstra RUU... but its too old, the OTA update is expecting the marshmellow one i think... I've downloaded the OTA and extracted the recovery img from that but my guess is its too new...

Does anyone have a link to the OTA for Telstra M9 Marshmellow, or the stock recovery image from the same version?

Or is there a marshmellow RUU for Telstra available??
[One (M9) General] Alternate_DM:
Well, it's been a long couple of months, but I think I'm on the home straight; downloading the final piece to my puzzle.

I remembered that a friend of mine had the exact same phone as me: he broke it a few months ago and he let me tinker with it.... to my delight it was still on Android 5!!!

Following this guide here (https://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/capture-ota-root-t2969602) I was able to get the links to the official Telstra OTA updates for the Android 6 prep update, Android 6 full update and Android 7. I had already used this to get the android 7 recovery, but the OTA update didn't accept it. The garbage at the end of the filename basically makes it impossible to guess and the only way to catch it is to log the attempt to download through the phone itself.

Using the Android 6 one, I should be able to extract the recovery image I need.

Here they be!

Android 6 prep: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_HIMA_UHL_...-2.9.841.5_release_475450bliaeztnz5kwd79g.zip

Android 6 full: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_HIMA_UHL_...10.841.200_release_475451k4gyi2lnvpxcd69w.zip

Android 7: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_HIMA_UHL_...3.38.841.6_release_4967203jqx6xvhwi80vam2.zip

Hopefully this saves someone literally months of searching :)

Dose anyone know if HTC are ever going to bring out an update for the m9? Other countries have.
[One (M9) General] sephstyler:
Battery for day 2.

70% used in 12h36m 5.6% per hour.

SOT 3H21M

The ONLY thing I've done differently today is switch off WIFI always scanning under advanced settings. Its still improving. It the morning of my third charge and its definitely going better than even yesterday.
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
And you still have 30 percent left which probably adds another 2 hrs of screen on time. I'm loving it already keep it coming for day three. If you download gsam battery monitor you don't need to write all this just screen shot the stats

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

I just realized you already downloaded gsam so just take a screenshot for day 3.
[One (M9) General] sephstyler:
CBF uploading the image...?

unless xda can store the image? just a pain to put it on flickr
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
You don't need Flickr to upload it just use XDA
[One (M9) General] adizz131:
Anyone know anything about the quick charge feature?

The charger that came with it was 1.5A.

I am currently using a 2.1A Samsung charger, and I don't think I am getting the full 2.1A charging current.

Anyone got any input into this?
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
Just purchase the official HTC quick charge charger. You have to order it
[One (M9) General] aethelbert:
I can't believe they didn't supply it.
[One (M9) General] adizz131:
yeah, I am a little disappointed by this.

Will have to wait for it to be released by HTC I assume.

I want the Dot View case too. But it's not available to order yet.
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
btw how is battery life on your new toy?
[One (M9) General] adizz131:
Yeah it's pretty good.

I am used to having a rooted S5, with 2 day battery life. So just going through the adjustment period.

I get a solid 12-18 hours out of mine. I average 3hrs screen on time. Lots of Facebook, Reddit, FB Messenger, and Internet Browsing.

Wifi on when I am at home.
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
lol so its not as good as the s5 lol. just 3 hrs of screen on time?
[One (M9) General] adizz131:
Rooted S5. So easy to get a stock rom with a good kernel and get days of battery.

Screen on time more like 3-6 hours.

I'm happy with it.

Battery life is about the same as any android phone on the market.
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
i truly believe with the right custom rom for the m9 it can eventually beat the s5 in battery life and be a two day phone.
[One (M9) General] tryfound:
My average SOT time according to GSAM so far is 4:23:00 which I know will go up because I've been thrashing this phone with lots of 4K video, taking way more photos than I normally would to test the camera and testing lots of 3D games.

The phone is a speed machine, everything flies. I don't really care about benchmarks (I get over 58000 in Antutu if that matters). Either way I'm confident this is an average 5 hour SOT phone which is good but not incredible. Supports fast charging as well, my testing from 0-100% is less than 90 minutes.

Touch Sensitivity

Hi Everyone!

I'm not 100% sure this is the right place to post.. please let me know if it's not!

I pre ordered my M9 from Telstra, so I've had it just over a week. It's rooted, but, I don't think that's the issue.

The screen response seems to lag for me. Like scrolling down a page.. or adding clip art to pics with PicsArt. So, I have to swipe over an inch to get the screen to respond. Its not that easy to describe.

Other times the screen sensitivity seems amazing..

Has anyone else experienced this kind of lag?
[One (M9) General] katykay:
Has anyone been successful to flashing the telstra branded rom with the australian stock?
[One (M9) General] MrDuvet:
Australian M9 in Europe

Hey,

I bought this incredible phone two weeks ago outright at telstra. I love it and with my telstra prepaid I still get awesome speed with 4g. It's hard not to use a month's data in a day :D

Anyway, I'm from Germany and I'm gonna go back pretty soon. Will there be any problems taking the phone to Europe? Is the phone I got from telstra an international phone and can I use it in German/European 4g networks as well? What about sim or netlock?

The girl at telstra told me I wouldn't have any problems but she also told me the m9 had the best camera out there ;) so I don't quite trust her.

What do you say?

Cheers Max
[One (M9) General] XdividerX:
I got an update prompt this morning. Am on stock telstra, rooted and s-off. Not sure how the update came through but I'm not going to install it as it may screw things up.

It was upgrade to 132.841.15
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
As long as you don't change your rom you an receive OTA update, but the installation will be failed because you modified your system.
[One (M9) General] longers26:
Quick question folks - I've downloaded the OTA Telstra update but have not installed it yet. Does anyone know where the file is stored because I would like to back it up.

TIA
