ViperROM

Hi all, just got my Telstra M9.

Wondering if anyone is use custom ROM's and how the reception goes?? I know the latest 1.40 ROM is coming to Aus soon but the delay is because we use so many different bands of LTE between carriers. Really interested to know how reception/speed and also how the battery life is is on custom rom's.

Cheers.
[One (M9) General] matust:
I'm on vodafone and I'm not using a custom rom, just the stock 1.40.401.8 (Europe generic) and I haven't noticed any reception issues. Seems the same as with the aus firmware.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Yeah, I'm also with Vodafone and always use European version (custom or stock) and never had any problem.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
Hi guys,

Can someone please port out the recovery for telstra branded (.841)? Was looking around for it to upgrade to the new firmware.

It seem like this thread will be my only hope. :)

Thank you in advance.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
What is your current firmware? And can you explain why do you need it?
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
Hi, my current firmware is 1.32.841.7

I need the stock recovery to uprade my firmware because I heard that it will significantly improve the battery life and camera quality (added digital stabilization). Pretty frustrated because every time I tried to take a picture, it all turned out blurry.

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
I know what you mean, but you need to explain more about your rom. Are you s-off? Do you have latest update from Telestra? Is your phone rooted at the moment?

Because recovery is not enough lonely, that's why I need to know more to help you.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
Thank you for the quick reply, I'm currently S-On, rooted with ARHD 5.2 and I think I having the latest update from Telstra, except the newest firmware.

I currently have the stock .841 RUU.

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Ok. If you already have the latest firmware from Telstra, then you can't do anything because you don't have newer firmware.

Also if you need to get back to stock rom again, you just need to run RUU for your device. As you are S-On, you only can flash firmware or RUU that is compatible with your device at the moment.

Flash recovery is used when you have the "unmodified system back up" to get back to stock. That's it.

Recovery doesn't do anything more.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
There are a new firmware that came out last week for Australia. The WWE .401 have it awhile ago.

I need the stock recovery to receive OTA for the firmware, so I can install all the custom ROM without bootloop my phone.

I think my firmware is the one that come with the phone, did not update ever since.

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Ok now I understand what you need exactly.

As you are s-on, you've got 2 options.

1)If you already have a completely stock back up of your original rom that came with your device, you can restore that and then flash stock recovery.(but I don't think you have it)

2)flash the correct RUU or 0PJAIMG zip for your device to get back to stock and receive OTA.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
I currently have the RUU, I think I also need the stock recovery to restore it to 100% stock for the OTA update? Or did the RUU already containing the stock recovery?

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
No if you have RUU or 0PJAIMG.zip you don't need recovery as they contain recovery as well.

Do you have RUU or 0PJAIMG.zip?

And do you know how to flash 0PJAIMG.zip?
[One (M9) General] matust:
The RUU contains the stock recovery
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Yeah, both RUU and 0PJAIMG.zip contain stock recovery. Depending which one you have, the flashing method is different.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
I don't know how to but I'll try to figure it out, if you have time and happy to do it, please show me the ways :)

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
First I need to know which one of them do you have? RUU or 0PJAIMG.zip?
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
This is the link I download it from, I think it's the OP.zip

http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...61_56.01.50303G_3_F_release_425231_signed.zip

Thanks
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Yeah I saw that already in androidruu.com

Ok. Follow this instructions,

1)rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip

2)put it in your external SDcard (sdcard shouldn't be bigger than 32 GB)

3)put your phone in download mode, and then follow the promp(after going to download mode, you need to press volume up to confirm flashing)

After flashing I think your phone will be turned off. Turn it on and your device is completely stock.
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
Sorry but what do I need to do after go into download mode?

This is all the option I have (pleaselook at the picture)

For step 1) what do I rename it to? 0PJAIMG with zip format? or 0PJAIMG.zip with zip format (0PJAIMG.zip.zip)?
[One (M9) General] matust:
That's the correct screen. It needs to be named 0PJAIMG.zip Also the sdcard you use needs to be formatted to fat32. When you boot into that screen it should give you an option to flash the zip by pushing either the up or down volume
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Just rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
HI, I did rename it and this is what happened
[One (M9) General] Johnnqtvo:
Don't worry guys, I got it, thank you all very much
[One (M9) General] AloneHorizon:
How can i use this ruu if i am on a higher version?, 1.32.841.15?

i havent been able to find a telstra 1.32.841.15, but from my understanding if i get s-off i am able to downgrade using ruus, is this true and is the process the same as normal, renaming the file and placing it on external sd card?

any help would be much appreciated ^^
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Yes with previous htc phones s-off was needed to downgrade the firmware, but I think with this phone some user reported that they could flash lower firmware white they were s-on. So that you can try it.

You can use sdcard method to flash it.
[One (M9) General] AloneHorizon:
Thank you yeah I just read this on another thread, but it will only work if the bootloader versions are the same.. Is it possible to check the version in the ruu? and if they arent the same can I make them the same?
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
What do you mean about bootloader version?
[One (M9) General] AloneHorizon:
Not quite sure myself, just read it here xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545/page28

I thought bootloaders were just generic for devices and don't change or update? I don't want to try without knowing first though
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
I just read it and no idea what they mean exactly, but as far as know someone ppl did that. I think with s-on same SKU (401,709,710,...) is important.
[One (M9) General] AloneHorizon:
sorry if this is a silly question, but what is sku?
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
These numbers indicate that the rom is for specific regions, for example 401(x.xx.401.x) rom is for unlocked European version. As you see there are different firmware version for this example but 401 is the same. (1.32.401.6, 1.32.401.8, 1.40.401.8,..)
[One (M9) General] AloneHorizon:
i just wanted to confirm that this worked really well, the only issue i had was that at first my phone didnt want me to copy a 2 gig file to the sd card.. had to put it in a folder and rename it for it to allow me to copy it

now for a few hours of software and app updates,, that fresh phone feel B)

Thanks for your help ^^
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Glad to see you succeed.

Yes, I had the same issue for transferring to the sdcard from my laptop . I first transferred that to the usb and then from usb to the sdcard.

Can anyone please send me a copy of the stock recovery for HTC_039, for firmware 1.xx.710.x?Thanks.
[One (M9) General] TornadoF6:
Is anyone having a weird issue with the stock music player & stock earphones(on a non rooted M9),where the sound level starts going down by itself?I thought it might of been caused by an issue with Greenify installed,but after uninstalling it & rebooting the phone,the issue is still there.

I dont have any aftermarket earphones to test with,so im not sure if they are the issue or not?

[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
How do I install this update to a stock Telstra HTC M9 that has been rooted & running the TWRP recovery?

I got that notice over the weekend, let it download the update, and now when it goes to install, it ends up in TWRP recovery, and of course, that doesn't find the OTA update file/s.

I've since read that it's not wise to flash OTA updates via custom recoveries, and to reflash the phone back to stock.

How do I do that? :confused:

I'm more familiar with Samsung's flashing processes, but just find the maze of various firmwares, roms, and probably worst, the jargon, somewhat overwhelming from the PoV of not being familiar with it all, due to lack of use. (Samsung have this issue, and worse, but as I said familiarity helps ;) )

I'm a bit clueless as what are the correct files to download & flash so as to return it back to stock in order to flash the OTA update.

Once done, should I have any issue/s re-rooting the handset with the files/tokens I've already downloaded off the HTC site?? (as long as I can find them where ever they are buried on this multitude of drives & various storage devices).

Thanks for any pointers,

Cheers :fingers-crossed:
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
What is ur current firmware installed?

Are you s-off?
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
S-Off, don't think so. Pretty sure it's not. How do I verify that?

Current fw - I'll post back in here when I find out. The handset isn't here at the moment.

Thanks for replying :)
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
U can check those in download mode.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Okay then. I can do that much! :D

I'll pop back in later today with the info for you.

Cheers.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Ok, I'll help u as much as I can.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Have phone back home now :)

Here's what the download screen says.

[IMG="image of download screen HTC M9"]http://i.imgur.com/ygs1nTG.jpg[/IMG]

Hopefully that gives you the info you need. Also, any idea why I get the two messages at the bottom? They were appearing when I rooted the phone as well.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Yes, ur phone is S-On.

Don't worry about the messages below. But to get back to the stock u need to find a ruu or stock backup of ur device, It means u need to find 1.40.841.8 ruu or stock back up.

I couldn't find this firmware for u.

If u can find any of these, then u can get back to completely stock.

Otherwise there is no way to apply OTA updates.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
I found this page, and it lists a Telstra branded file with that number:

http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

What do I do with the file once I've downloaded it??

The file downloading is: himauhl-3.10.49-g4ee4c46.zip

Can I flash that wirh TWRP?
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
No that's something else. U need to find ruu.exe or 0PJAIMG.zip or stock backup for ur device.

The size of any of those files are more than 2 GB.

I'm not sure u can find one of those.

If u can't find any of them, unfortunately u can't get back to stock again. Unless u get S-OFF and change ur regions rom from telestra to somewhere else, that I don't think that's a good idea. Because I think Telestra' s frequency is different from other regions.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
I'm having a look around here to see where the files are when I rooted this phone the other week. I'm sure I took a backup of it after installing theTWRP recovery, prior to rooting; as suggested.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
If u did a stock back up of ur rom before u root ur device, then that's fine and u can use it to get back to the stock. But u must did it before rooting ur phone.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Well I dunno, I can't seem to find any of these files that I used/backed up when I rooted this HTC a few weeks ago. So looks like I'm stuck for now :(

Oh well.

Thanks for your help Nima, appreciate it.

***edit

I found them!

I'll have another go at using them this afternoon/evening :)
[One (M9) General] Raa_1:
My HTC One M9 (Telstra) is still fully stock with

no

updates performed, or rooted.

If you give me the instructions, I'm happy to generate a ROM for everyone. :)

I want to have a play with it, but like my M7, I never did one single update on it because I know that newer bootloaders can get a bit tricky to work magic on.
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
That's god. Ill give u the instructions later to how to take a fully untouched system backup.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Hi Raa, that's a very kind offer that I'm sure people will benefit from.

I found my backup copy made by the TWRP recovery before I rooted it. Data management gives me the irrits these days...

I'll have another go at restoring the phone I have here to stock with this backup later this afternoon/evening.

Now that I've located my stock backup, can we pick up where we left off yesterday, when you get a chance, please?

Cheers :)
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
If u found ur stock system backup, read these Q&A to know what u need to do.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59745198&postcount=3

If all went successful u just need to flash stock recovery as well prior to take OTA and apply that.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Just checking, these are the files that were created in the backup I did the other week. Are these the correct ones, as I saw mention of possibly one image file only???

Err, where do I get the 'stock recovery' from, or do I already have it in those files above??
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Honestly ur back up folder is messed up too much and I can't identify it's true or not. But as long as I know u should have these files

1) boot.emmc.win

2) system.emmc.win or system_image.emmc.win

Because u need these two files to restore.

For stock recovery u can extract it from OTA file if u can get it or I think u may be able to use recovery from other firmwares too like Vodafone.

Because I don't think they are different.

But if u can get OTA and don't install it, choose install later and then pull it from your phone.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
Okay then, I've had another play with the phone. I was able to follow the bouncing ball with that tutorial/Q&A/FAQ that you linked to. It's letting me flash back to stock, and then I can reflash the recovery back to stock as well, but when I boot the phone back up, I've still got root, and letting the OTA process occur, it reboots to the HTC recovery, but after a minute or so of the circle thingy and slowly growing green line (iirc), it pops up the red triangle for a couple of minutes and then reboots the phone. The phone starts up okay, although still running 5.0x...

I'm guessing this file should be bigger than 0bytes, and may be the cause:

18 Jul 2015 02:06 pm 0 system_image.emmc.win

Perhaps when I did my original backup I didn't have the system-image selection checked, and if that's the case, then all this is for nought :(

Raa, have you had any joy yet at making a default, stock system backup?? If so, how big is the above file from your backup?

Cheers :)

/frustrated...
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Usually the size of system.emmc.win ( or system_image.emmc.win) should be more than 4 GB.

And if u took ur backup before rooting ur phone, then after restoring backup u should not have root.

So it seems ur back up is not untouched system.

In this case u have to wait to someone upload the stock back up for u.

Possible Hardware Fault - how is Telstra to deal with?

Hi All!

So.. my auto rotate stopped working a few days ago.. and my G Sensor test fails and won't calibrate. My M9 is modded - completely.. S-off, super CID.. all of it. (I have a small addiction)

Never had a fault with any HTC though.. I have to return to Stock anyway, in case I happen to be the only person running ARHD with an incompatible gyroscope.. but, have any of you had to take a *tampered* phone back to Telstra for repairs?

Am I likely to have issues with them?

Thanks!
[One (M9) General] racerboy3801:
I've not had any experience with telstra specifically, but I've returned my m8 and m9 twice to vodafone for replacement with no dramas. They send it to their own warranty team, not HTC, so I don't believe they can check htc-dev to see if it was unlocked or not. My m8 was returned with s-on turned back on, so it did display the tampered sign.
[One (M9) General] reaktor TuT:
To the folks trying to get back to stock, why don't you just use a RUU file to start fresh. I have a Telstra and a generic Australian one if anyone needs.

Be aware that this will completely wipe your phone, then you can install OTA updates as required.
[One (M9) General] h0mer_:
That was the problem - not knowing where to find either.

If you have a Telstra one that you can share I'll grab it and fix up the phone I have here. I think I goofed when asked to take a backup prior to rooting - and didn't include the system partition :opps:

Wiping the phone isn't an issue, a Titanium Backup before flashing the RUU and then a restore with the app afterwards is pretty straight forward.

I won't get a chance for another few weeks now - out the door in the morning and won't be back home until early Sept. Work; sheesh!!!

Thank-you for the kind offer to help. Much appreciated :)

Rename it to OPJAIMG. zip and put it into ur external sd card (sd card should be formatted as FAT32 and it's size should be less than 64GH)

[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Forget about this link. If u want to get back to Australian stock and get OTA updates, first u need to change ur cid to the optus again. Then download the Australian OPJAIMG. zip from the link below and flash it via external sd card method. This is the easiest way to get back to the stock.

Awesome Thanks Nima. Will give it a go now...
[One (M9) General] Nima78600:
Just in case, before doing anything do a full backup of ur current system and move it to ur laptop.

Then do flash via external sd card method as below:

1) change the downloaded file name to OPJAIMG.zip and put it in the root of ur external sd card ( ur sd card should be 32GB or less and formatted as FAT32)

2) put ur phone into the download mode. Ur phone automatically will find the file and ask u for flashing. Just follow the promp...

That's it.

Then try to get OTA update and apply it. If everything is fine then u should be able to receive and apply OTA update.
