I have been using ARHD since I had an M8 about four years ago and thoroughly love it. I have been using ARHD 14 on my M9 after I got it with S-ON and unlocked from HTC DEV.

I upgraded to Marshmallow ARHD on the M8 as my son still has it and no problem. But when I took the ARHD 20 on to my M9 it got stuck in a bootloader loop after successful installation using TWRP and rebooting. I tried it twice before managing to get back to 14 (thankfully I was still able to see the phone' storage from my PC so I was able to put the 14 file on the phone SD as it was not mounting the external SD). Anyway, I initially tried to update without clearing user data but I did clear the caches, still no joy. I then tried clearing the user data but no joy.

I tried to see what "fastboot getvar all" showed but it seems to have been corrupted and the only bit of information that seems normal is the serial number (I replaced it below):

C:\adb_and_fastboot>fastboot getvar all

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) max-download-size: 0x20000000

(bootloader) partition-type:cache: ext4

(bootloader) partition-size:cache: 0x14000000

(bootloader) partition-type:userdata: ext4

(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x5e0000000

(bootloader) partition-type:system: ext4

(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0x118000000

(bootloader) serialno: FXXXXXXXXXX

all:

finished. total time: 0.093s

I am not sure if the above is normal after it has been unlocked as I cannot recall looking at it after I had unlocked it. I wanted to try flashing the recovery to stock in the hope of getting the OTA update but I cannot run the fastboot oem lock with S-ON (it says). I believe something is corrupted. Have you got any idea what has gone wrong and what I can do please. Thankfully, I am able to use the phone with ARHD 14 but I would like to go to ARHD 20 or back to stock Marshmallow.

Any help would be appreciated. I cannot seem to find a thread with someone else facing an issue with ARHD 20 for the HTC One M9.

Hello!! Dont get Me/Us wrong, but you read the previous page, and the one before that and the one before that and so on, You'll see lots of people have posted about that same problem... You need the MM Firmware for this ROM to boot... Specifically the "3.35.401.12"

[One (M9) Android Development] DreadDroid:
No, I will not get you wrong, any help appreciated? I have read and aware that I will need a proper firmware. My phone is S-ON and has custom recovery. I tried to fastboot oem lock but it fails as I was going to run fastboot flash zip firmwareFile. Can I use twrp to flash the firmware? I don't do these things often enough to have confidence as at least the phone is still usable.
[One (M9) Android Development] p50kombi:
You can only flash firmware of you're s-off.

Since you're s-on you can only upgrade firmware using your carriers ota or ruu

Hey Mike, what do you think of the HTC 10?
[One (M9) Android Development] adishee:
Hi. I'm just wondering, is it okay to flash the latest version if my firmware is 3.37.605.7? Android 6/Sense 7? :)
[One (M9) Android Development] blackflagsvn:
As far as i know, you have to be on fw 3.35.401.xx to flash this amazing ROM. If you are on different fw, you have to be S-off to flash the 3.35.401 fw first and flash the ROM to make your phone work. S-off is the key to fully master the phone.
[One (M9) Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Someone please guide me on how to install the correct firmware to match this rom coz every time i try i end up with the no sim card message
[One (M9) Android Development] h_jaguar:
just flash back your original boot.img you can get the signal.

[One (M9) Android Development] cmcmyers:
You need to be S-Off to Flash the Firmware....... Or wait for the MM OTA then flash... But then again, its seems like rom only boots with the "3.35.401.12" so S-Off seems like the safest bet if you want to use this or any other rom worry free in the future.... And yes, the fastest and safest way to S-OFF is "Sunshine" and yes, it's U$25....
[One (M9) Android Development] nicholasknicks:
I have S-off and i have tried to flash multiple firmwares but none is working, thats why i asked for a detailed guide since i dont know what im doing wrong

I've a feeling you are on a carrier branded phone right? If so, u need to flash the right kernel after flashing this ROM.

I mean errors when flashing the firmware....
[One (M9) Android Development] nicholasknicks:
Im not getting errors during flashing its completing successfully
[One (M9) Android Development] mashk:
You have to flash twice remember.

You've not responded to my earlier question.

Yes im flashing twice, and no its not carrier dependent
[One (M9) Android Development] mashk:

I bought the phone yesterday and it was working fine until i tried this ROM
[One (M9) Android Development] mashk:
Haha, That's why I'm saying it might not be the international model of M9. Anyways, if you are near Nairobi, I can check it out.

You did S-off using sunshine?

I have the M9 developer edition that's what I have just found out

SIM Unlock T-Mobile M9 that have Unlock App but doesnt Work

NOTE: Don’t know if I should post this here or somewhere else... I'm doing it here, because was this ROM I used for it, and is the one I've participated in the most....

Hello! Just a quick note to let you guys know that I managed to SIM Unlock a T-Mobile version of the M9 using this ROM... It's the version that comes with T-Mobile Unlock App, but that the app doesn’t let you Unlock it for X or Y Reason.... And we all know that there's no way to input an unlock code because the phone doesn’t ask for it... I'm not gonna get into the technical details, because I guess we all here know all the do's and dont's, I'm just going to point out that it is possible to Unlock that version of the M9 without the App...

Quick Note: This is just my workaround, they might be other ways to do, but i didnt find any so I tried until i figured out a way....

1st thing's 1st....

1. "ROOT" then do a Backup of your current Setup...

The phone was already on the TMo MM Firmware "3.39.531.7", and so far we all know that this ROM doesn’t Boot on a firmware that's not "3.35.401.12"... So, after going through the Bootloader Unlocking, Flashing the Recovery, then trying to Flash the latest SU, I had a bunch of Bootloops (seems like “obviously” the SU modified the Boot and since I was still S-On, it didn’t let the phone boot), so save yourself that hassle, and download this ROM -> http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-one-m9/development/rom-t-mobile-m9-stock-deodex-6-0-t3324137 that’s already Rooted and it’s a stock "3.39.531.7", so it can be flashed and will boot no problems… (Note: how it’s a Stock T-Mobile ROM, you’ll still be SIM Locked when the ROM boots… This is just a set up for the next step…).

Next step...

2. "S-OFF using Sunshine"... Yes, we all know "is not free blah blah blah", but its the only way to get around "Flashing the New Firmware"...

So after you get "S-Off using Sunshine" (btw, seems like Sunshine so far can only "Sim Unlock" the Sprint version of the M9, so lucky you if you have that version...), SuperCID your phone, then proceed to flash the “3.35.401.12” Firmware, you can find the one I’m using here (M9_3.35.401.12_NoWipe_NoRed (International) -> http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678.

Next step…

3. Install the ARHD 20.0 (This ROM)… On Boot (if you have in a foreign Sim), it will then tell you that the Phone is SIM Locked and ask you for the Unlock Code… At this point you can remove the Sim to let it allow you to finish the setup the proceed to the…

Next step…

4. Get your IMEI Number, and buy your Unlock Code from your favorite provider… Once you have the code, pop back in the SIM, input the Unlock Code and profit…

Now You have an Unlocked International Version HTC One M9… Enjoy!!

(Note: If you like, after this you can go back to Stock or any TMo Rom… You’ll remain SIM Unlocked...)

And this was just my “One Cent Contribution”… If it helped you in anyway, Remember to “Click the Thanks Button Over to the Right…” -------------------->
[One (M9) Android Development] adishee:
I see. I do have s-off, but the thing is I have a Verizon branded device. Apparently I can't flash any other firmware than the 3.37 series, so I think I'm stuck with it. I might just try to flash it on anyway and see what happens. The worst case would be just having to load a backup right?
[One (M9) Android Development] miatawnt2b:
Can anyone confirm whether or not Miracast is working on this Rom?
[One (M9) Android Development] Fain11:
It is!
[One (M9) Android Development] cmcmyers:
Verizon and Sprint are CDMA version of the M9... No have confirm it working on either... If it works for you, maybe you can let us know.. But I'll advice you doing more research before Flashing this ROM and changing that Firmware.......

[One (M9) Android Development] miatawnt2b:
I figured out what is going on with miracast and stock based HTC roms.

When my wifi is conected to an AP, the miracast/WIDI will not connect. If I leave the house (or turn off my wifi router), miracast will connect right away.

CM based rom's don't seem to have this issue, so it isn't a hardware limitation. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I can probably get a logcat if needed.

Check here

HTC is excited to bring the HTC One M9+ to customers in China, where we have worked closely with mobile operators to create a phone with the right balance of screen size, processor performance, software, and radio network compatibility to meet consumers' needs. Ranging in other markets will be confirmed locally at a later date. The One M9+ is not currently planned to be released in North America or Europe, where we believe our flagship HTC One M9 is the best choice for blazing fast performance, incredible sound, and network compatibility across the broadest range of operators.

Apparently, it was best to keep the m9 in the EU and the m9+ for China only, marketing strategy. There must be a reason but I don't understand why they do this but I don't care I want the m9+ as well haha. I've seen on another website article..... "The M9+, everything that the M9 should have been"..... -_-

The thing I don't get is it has 2k screen.....but the camera offers 4k recording. Sources might be different but it doesn't make any sense.

By the way guys, I finally backed up my files and I am rooted. Just waiting for s-off before I finally get into flashing the custom rom.
[One (M9) Android Development] eisteh:
20MP camera also offers a higher resolution than the full HD display, it's not about what the device can show. Having a better source and downsampling it is always better than a lower quality source.

Firmware doesn't matter at this stage yet, every device has the same firmware.

I flashed this ROM after a full wipe and wont boot at all now. The device powers on, and goes straight to bootloader. I can get to recovery so i guess all isnt lost but ive flashed the rom multiple times. Ive tried different roms too so its not a corrupted file.

One thing to note, i did an advanced wioe originally, dalvic, cache, system and data. I normally dont do advanced.

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

P.S. TWRP is giving me the message to say that my device isnt rooted and the option of flashing SuperSU. I remember being warned before not to do this so i didnt the first time. Tried it the second time and still no improvement.
[One (M9) Android Development] paolocorpo:

Can't go back to stock

I flash ARHD 20 without realizing I needed to latest firmware 3.35.xxx...as it was not in the instructions and I did not read through the whole long thread. Went through the install process and ended up in recovery bootloop.

With that said, I am stuck on recovery mode and trying to get back to ATT stock (and wait for OTA as I am S-on). I downloaded the newest stock img (ATT_HIMA_1.32.502.31.Stock.recovery_signed.img) and flashed that with TWRP which notes that the update was completed but unfortunately still stuck on recovery after reboot. Though it noted completed, I still see the Build warning message in red when my phone initially boots in the Android screen before ending in recovery mode. I would surmise that it would boot without this message as the original stock version did not have this message.

I tried sideloading with TWRP the newest recovery zip to install it that way but when I turn it on, the bar is just stuck so had to cancel out.

Spent a few hours scouring XDA but have been unsuccessful so appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M9) Android Development] paolocorpo:
Try to install the version 14 of HD

From there ... you can use your phone and decide better
[One (M9) Android Development] orangekid1:
Thanks. Will try that.

Noob question, how do I get the ZIP file onto my external SD Card? I tried the sideload function in TWRP and it just does not seem to load up (waited around a minute and bar does not do anything). I tried adb push but perhaps I am putting in command incorrectly.

Appreciate easy directions.

Thanks again.
[One (M9) Android Development] cmcmyers:
Since you're S-On, close Re-Lock the Bootloader and run the latest RUU (AT&T seems like would be your case), that should bring you back to stock (recovery and all)....

If You're still have the LP Firmware, just flash ARHD 14 and you should be good to go.....
[One (M9) Android Development] orangekid1:
Hi,

Thanks for the information but am bit perplex. If I relock the bootloader, how do I run the AT&T RUU as I see it is a zip file.? Should I try to copy the AT&T RUU zip file into my sd card and install it? But as mentioned, I cannot seem to be able to do that unless I am using the wrong procedure. I'd appreciate it if you can you list what I am suppose to do in steps?

Thanks.

Update: Found RUU .exe file on htc site. Will continue...
[One (M9) Android Development] cmcmyers:
The RUU is and Executable file.. Just attach your phone to the PC and run the RUU....

Ps. Just saw the update... Hope everything goes well...
