What's the status of the firmware required for those carriers (in my case, Verizon)?

By the way, I've been rooting since my first Android, an HTC Eris in 2009... You know, in case you need any help ?
[One (M9) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Firmware will be made available by the respective forum contributors once it becomes publicly available. Look out for [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] and [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION].

Hey I used your No-Wipe ZIP before flashing this ROM. Will that be alright? It's been a while since I've done any of this stuff (infact haven't even touched my modding stuff for a long time).

EDIT: Funny, I've selected wipe during the AROMA installation yet my apps still seem to be intact. Should probably wipe using TWRP before installation (PS Not a bug, probably something on my end)
[One (M9) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I personally don't ever do the no-wipe. Prefer clean start when a new Android version hits the streets. Apparently, No-Wipe is fine though.
[One (M9) Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Thanks

The only reason I use No-Wipe is because I have a lot of things on my Internal Storage and I'm pretty sure the wipe zips erase that data as well.

I want to flash my new M9 with the latest ViperOne 4. But I´m still S-ON and It´s still locked. My M9 has still FW 2.10.401.1 and the CID is 102.

Is it possible to flash the newest FW with that CID and S-ON? Or should I S-OFF with sunshine? Or is it enough to unlock via HTCDev?

Can I update the FW to 3.35.401.10 with a custom recovery and S-ON?
[One (M9) Android Development] sa3d12:
The only way to update any FW manually is to be s-off no other methods...

that means s-off via sunshine.apk is enough? or htcdev unlock is recommended?

Hope ya'll enjoying your holidays!

I have finally managed to properly update my Firmware thread with a new Batch Tool that includes the required htc_fastboot (for Marshmallow).

The firmware files you need are there as well since two days. Start here.

I am currently trying to figure out this driver situation some people seem to be facing. There are some small hints in the last post of my thread.

Anyone willing to add helpful info can do so there. I would rather not make that a support thread though. I am asking for help on finding a suitable strategy to update drivers.

I know it doesn't affect most PC's but a limited number of Windows 10 computers seem to have a hard time connecting to the phone in fastboot mode.

Back to ROM talk. This just a little heads-up for those looking to update their firmware.
[One (M9) Android Development] johnandbodhi:
fyi: using a mac and using most recent google fastboot i have been able to flash your most recent firmware (full wipe) after i changed my mid to 0PJA10000
[One (M9) Android Development] rzarectha:
Hey guys, I have a HTC One m9 bought through Vodafone Romania. I s-offed the phone, changed mid, used the att deved 6.0 ruu.exe and it works well. Does it mean that if I want to switch to viper 4.0 I can skip the firmware part? I guess the ruu took care of that part already?
[One (M9) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yes. You can. Or choose to use my FULL firmware to convert it back to a European version, should you face issues with your radio. Although I am pretty sure the DevEd has a radio meant to work on all continents. Just the only thing I dont know is if your phone's radio chip actually has the same frequencies unlocked as DevEd.

So, if you face issues with the DevEd firmware, just use my pack to return to WWE which should be cool for VF Romania.
[One (M9) Android Development] ThePhoneGeek:
Jan, Sneaky, and the rest of the Venom Team.

Just a quick note to say thanks for sharing your development efforts. I know there is a new beta out so many here have lost their minds but many of you have families and I sincerely wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.

Thanks for all you do!
[One (M9) Android Development] rzarectha:
Thanks a lot for your answer! I have no issue with the radio. The phone is able to connect to anything from 2G to LTE, the data speed is at full capacity. I personally cannot tell a difference between EU WWE rom and this one. But I will convert it to european version eventually, I just got a bit intimidated by the guide to flash the firmware. I need to wait until I have some free time to read it properly and get it done.

Thanks a lot for your answer! Happy holidays!

[One (M9) Android Development] ParanormalBat:
To all those who can't get V4A to work, you have to rename /system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf to something with a different file extension so that it doesn't work. Basically it will disable boom sound and allow V4A to work (it's a HTC Marshmallow conflict).

So you have to sacrifice something for v4a to work.
[One (M9) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
to get it working properly, some v4a specific lines have to be added to htc_audio_effects.conf, but don't ask me which lines. the best will be to do it at first that way, copy that audio_effects.conf to sdcard and delete this from system/etc and rename the other file back to htc_audio_effects.conf. then you just need to copy the v4a specific lines from the copied audio_effects.conf and put them in the right place inside the htc_audio_effects.conf !
[One (M9) Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Would you know where that .conf file is?

Thanks
[One (M9) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea it will be created whenever you install some mods which require audio_effects.conf but it can't find it, like in our case, we don't even know why htc uses now their own specific audio file. maybe something important, which leads them to have their own file. you can even keep the htc file and just copy all necessary strings from audio_effects.conf which should be created. if it won't be created, name htc's file to audio_effects.conf let it install and it should have all necessary things inside..best would be to share the file with me, after flashing/ installing v4a and it's driver so i can look into that. can't play with that now on my own device

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION], we mentioned it a couple of times, don't report bugs. It's a beta and we got our own beta testing team, that didn't have really time to test, because we threw the beta to xda as soon we had a working version and that was shortly before Xmas.

Reporting bugs just clutters the thread.

Once we release the stable begin you may again.

[One (M9) Android Development] hatlesssandman:
Thank you guys very much for letting us taste marshmallow before waiting for a stable release to come out. You guys are seriously amazing and selfless, to do this much work around the holidays and SHARE it with everyone even if it meant putting your roms reputation on the line (since it was an incompletely tested beta) was very generous and very much in tune with the holiday spirits. Wish you all a merry and festive holiday season! Cheers! BTW the rom is very decent for a beta.

I had a question more related to recovery than the rom itself, I have noticed I am unable to flash zips from the ext SD card ever since upgrading to Marshmallow and even after going back to lollipop. However twrp is able to flash roms from the internal sd card. Obviously not a bug with the rom, I am thinking an issue with mount points used in recovery after upgrading. Any insights into how to fix it?

Stuttering animations

All that somehow feel that some menus are lagging and all doesn't feel that smooth when navigating, opening apps etc: Yes that's true, and we knew of it before the release, but we hadn't time to narrow it down.
[MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION] found the culrpit. It's a modded file (framework-res) thats getting broken when recompiling it.

It seems to be an issue with apktool and I contacted the developer already.

You can see/track the issue here: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1116

There are also two attached vids where you cleary see the issue.

As workaround, you can disable the animations in Settings->Developer-Advanced: Animations

[One (M9) Android Development] j to the 4n:
Well, did you used that 3.5.0 backup before?

I had the issue, that the backup I created of 3.5.0 was corrupted.

best test is, to just flash 3.5.0 clean and see if it boots. it should and would confirm that your backup is corrupted.

Got an older backup that you know is working? Else you can try installing 3.5.0 clean and restore from the trwp backup with titaniumbackup

Yah you can delete everything from the ROM zip and leave only boot.img in there but I'd advise you to dirty flash because ElEx also installs modules into system and it's a good idea to get rid of them.

Solution 1: Get S-OFF using Support over at Sunshine. They helped you before and Nkk71 pointed out you had offers which you declined.

Solution 2: Get S-OFF by buying a Java Card from Chinese retailers on Alibaba.

Solution 3: Crack Sunshine and make it free for everyone. I am sure we will all love you.

Solution 4: Buy an XTC-Clip and get S-OFF

Solution 5: Buy a RIFF Jtag box and learn how to work it. Damages device though.

Solution 6: Just frikkin wait.

There is NO signed firmware. In fact, there never was. You mean the firmware which is inside the signed OTA.zip. That is not flashable solo, without the OTA. Which needs 100% stock ROM before flash and unbroken system checksum. The OTA has not been released by HTC, hence no OTA firmware for you.

I have made the firmware from an entirely different source and it requires S-OFF, so, no there is no way for you if you have trouble paying for S-OFF at this time.

Anyone have a solution for the problem that you could not flash any file in twrp after you converted SD card to internal Space. I could not find any folder where I have access in twrp and booted rom.

[One (M9) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I thought I'll drop the FAQ post from a few pages back with some changed and updated info... I have also updated the older FAQ post so there won't be contradicting infos.

Q: ROM Install aborts and reboots TWRP:

A: You have a messed up / conflicting Kernel/Recovery cache (Recovery cache holds stock, flashed recovery is TWRP). Please reformat that cache using "htc_fastboot erase cache" and then go into TWRP and then also format the system cache to ext4 (better safe than sorry). Should solve it. IF NOT: flash stock recovery (take from Sneakyghost's firmware zips or use his batch tool), do a factory reset with it, then flash TWRP immediately after the factory reset completes without another reboot in between. The factory reset will reformat the Kernel/Recovery cache and installing TWRP right after the reset will ensure the cache does not get build up with the stock recovery image again.

Q: TWRP prompts to install SuperSU:

A:: DON’T! ViperOneM9 is already rooted. Since Marshmallow, Chainfire moved the root-files to another location, so TWRP cannot see them anymore. TWRP thinks, the ROM is not rooted, while it is. Installing the TWRP version will mess up things badly, because its not Marshmallow compatible.

Q: Do I need S-OFF?

A: At the time of 4.0.0 release there was no official M release from HTC, so it was needed in order to flash the required M firmware. Later, HTC pushed the M update to more CID's, thus enabling a stock update and then ROM flashing, without S-OFF. However, HTC Dev Unlock is always required.

Q: Laggy ROM:

A: Fixed since version 4.1.0 - regarding the older 4.0.0 Beta, I can say this: restoring any old data, especially Prism (Sense Home) on that beta leads to things becoming ugly. A clean flash including the removal of system folders on the external sdcard (/sd_ext/Android and /sd_ext/Data) - absolutely ZERO data restore from anywhere. Just let it download apps from Playstore - will help.

Q: Missing App Settings:

A: When moving from Base 3.35.401.10 ViperOneM9 4.0.1 Beta) to a slightly newer 3.xx base, the missing "Delivery Report" option in the HTC Messaging App / Settings might not re-appear. HTC had this bug in the .10 base and fixed it in the next base. So, if its still missing after the update, delete the Messaging-app's data with Titanium Backup (not possible in settings/apps/). Your messages won't be lost, the item delivery reports will be back.

There might be more such hiccups we might not have seen. In case you see missing settings and the like, try to delete the respective apps data and see if it helps.

Q: Firmware flashing:

A: Make sure you re-run the flash upon error 90 (PLEASE do read the fastboot output in your command window!) and then also make sure you use htc_fastboot.exe, not the Google Fastboot from the SDK. I uploaded an update to my Batch Tool to my thread. All you need is in that Installer (self extracting RAR). Drivers: follow pointers in that post i linked on page 77. Some might need official SDK drivers, some might be luckier with HTC Sync Manager drivers.
