Hey OMJ in the other stock/RUU thread you suggested to flash firmware and new aboot. You said this on August 23rd. I read that and then flashed the firmware with the newer aboot just to see if I could get better connections. This was before the latest firmware obviously but now I read today that the BB rom has modified boot and to use the firmware without boot. So yes I am confused, especially since before you used the term "aboot". In the RUU OP there isn't a reference to "aboot" only boot so I assumed you meant "boot".

I guess since that thread isn't the BB Rom thread that you suggest anyone on stock to flash firmware with latest boot and anyone on the BB rom to only flash firmware without boot.

To be honest I haven't had any radio issues in South Chicago since the last update dropped. I'm on the newest now but won't be back in Chicago til Thursday
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I'm up North , lake county area and it constantly switches from 4g to 3g when I'm driving around for work. It's great when I get near the towers off of 294 but not even a mile away it drops to one bar then spazzes out and switches to 3g. Then I have to wait for it to switch back or toggle airplane mode. The northside (gold cost) of the city where my gf lives isn't bad but the speeds of 4g isn't that good. Let me know what speeds you get and where when you get back. I want to see if I can match it in the same area.

I'll be in Markham.... No one wants to be in Markham lol

Re: [ROM] Bad Boyz Sprint ONE M9 ROMz | 5.1 | 2.6.651.11 | Sense 7 | Updated 7.10.15

Yes, we always include the boot in the rom

aboot & boot are 2 different things. I did not remove aboot from the 3 zips. The reason one of the zips has boot removed is because most roms have modified boots, which you don't want to overwrite
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
Lol I think I actually do remember getting good signal strength when I was at the homewood flossmoor ice rink., but that was last year on my EVOLTE. I'll have to head out there and see how my M9 does. I probably drove through Markham and didn't even realize it.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Aldo101t:
why, that's where the kenworth dealer is, I've stopped there many times when I was truckin, lol
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
OMJ: Any harm then in running with the updated boot on your ROM until you get the update out, or should I somehow get your modified boot back?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Updated my thread for No Red text for 2.11.651.19 firmware.:D
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I'm sure you'll be ok
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Aldo101t:
I've flash the modified firmware with recovery and boot removed and tried it on two different roms and everything seems to be ok, no problems.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
OMJ: That is a comforting answer. :)

I've just researched aboot vs boot, and when you are not busy getting this update out, I'd love to know what you modify in boot for your ROM. This would help my comfort level knowing that I am running an updated boot that I should not be.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
In our ROM, I remove itson, support for adb & turn secure off.

I am not a kernel dev, [MENTION=933466]THICK[/MENTION]lizzard is, maybe he can elaborate.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Thanks OMJ. If you need assistance with testing anything as you work on the update, just reach out to me.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I'm hoping the mods port over easily
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] thicklizard:
You should be fine running the newest boot however you should also have the matching modules. Modules are built with the kernel. If I had to guess since the kernel I'm using works with the newest firmware, I would say the changes to the kernel are minor and mainly consist of device tree changes. CAF has made a few minor changes in the device tree to adjust for performance and battery life.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
thicklizard:

Thank you for the reply.

When you say matching modules, do you mean the matching applications (i.e. the BadBoyz ROM)? Which, I will get when the ROM is updated, and until then the Kernel I have is newer than the software (current BadBoyz ROM)?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] thicklizard:
Modules would be in the newest ota in the system/lib/modules directory you could grab them from the stock rom [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] posted
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I'm going to wait for your update instead of piecing together the files, especially since you believe I should be OK. If not, I can apply the boot from your current release if that is an option.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Not rushing perfection :), but how is the update coming along?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mrrogers1:
Wild guess but... :D
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
we got [MENTION=1310675]chas123[/MENTION] back to work :) hoping for tomorrow...I'll open up the test svn in the am for those impatient ones ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I've got an appointment in the a.m., which is going to prevent me from being one of the first impatient ones. :(

However, I'll be the impatient one later in the day. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
I had no idea you all were so close. Used to work in Markham and work in Olympia Fields now. Small world. I'm in Manteno currently and LTE is pretty solid here, 10 down during the day and sometimes already 50 down at night.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Sim-X:
awesome! hopefully radio was improved will flash it next week when I get some free time
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] thicklizard:
Definitely a small world. I work in Markham as well but live in Indiana. At work I consistently get 10+ download and 10+ upload
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
You're not really missing anything... I see little to no difference. Although I do see new camera files, so maybe it's improved.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Given the size that was referenced of the update, one would have expected more changes?

Anyway, I need to get the files back in sync with the BOOT.IMG I replaced as mentioned earlier. Additionally, I need that BOOT.IMG replaced with the one you will release.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
flash the attached..
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mrrogers1:
Yeah, definitely some fixes under the hood in there judging on the size. The "Stagefright" fix by itself is really small, was only like 10mb on my N5.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
Does anyone remember how it took HTC to post an RUU after the last (2.6) OTA?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
Is there a test rom on the svn? If so, can some one zip it up and share it with me? My laptop is broke.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] graycorgi:
What version is the HBOOT in the newest firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
see post below :)

not sure, it doesn't show anymore in bootloader or download mode
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
If anyone would like to test the v2.2 ROM, here is link Bad_Boyz_Sprint_ONE_M9_v2.2_BETA.zip

I have also opened up our test svn: http://www.badboyzsvn.com/M9_test/

all mods from 2.1 should be there, if no issues, I'll officially update tomorrow :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
OMJ:

I'll apply the beta later this evening. This should give me the correct boot.img (avoiding the need to flash the one you posted for me) and dirty flashing is OK?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Dirty flash should be ok, but backup 1st just in case
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Backed up, as always a good idea, and dirty flashing now...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
It installed without issue via dirty flash, and when it was finished my PRL was updated from 55028 to 55029.

So far I have noticed nothing to report of concern.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
Dirty flash of beta over 2.1 worked fine for me. Just had to reinstall a few apps I run as system apps like v4a fx/xhifi and xposed, reflash my custom kernel and good to go. Thanks for the update. Cell signal send better for me so far but it could be placebo. Will test for a few days and report issues if any are found. Great work as always team!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mingo2120:
I flash beta 2.2 and after it was done flashing to reboot it said that no OS was installed.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
PRL update was just a coincidence, I'm still on v2.1 and have 55029

when u went into twrp, did u allow it to mount system? s-on or s-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mingo2120:
Mount? And i am S-off
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Captain_Throwback:
Sounds like you have system set to read-only mode (or you're using an old version of TWRP). Shouldn't matter anyway. Did the phone boot up after you swiped to reboot anyway?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
The Bad Boyz APM mod broke my Sense Home on 2.2.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mingo2120:
It did reboot....but it was stuck on the htc screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I noticed that my ringtone for calls was changed to Default something (forget the one that was selected). I put it back to the one I use.

Not sure if coincidence, or if you have some code in the BETA that changes the ringtone.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
what did come from? stock, BB 2.1 or other?

I just clean flashed, I saw a couple sense home fc's during setup but after getting to Home, it seems fine...what do u mean APM broke it?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
It was the last mod I flashed before Sense Home fc.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
are u talking about the custom apm icons in the mods app???
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mildlydisturbed:
Dirty flashed in the following manner (so far working)

Rooted it myself a while back (HTC unlock, twrp, sunshine, install supersu)

Dirty flashed the .19? stock rooted update from yesterday

Fastboot flashed the firmware twice (got an ok)

(was having reboots every 3 hours for unknown reasons)

Dirty flashed the beta

Seems to be functioning, I'll update if the reboot saga has been ended...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
yes, I should have clarified. my bad
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mildlydisturbed:
Tether not functioning in beta or is it my dirty flashing? Laptop connects, when I do an nslookup from it I get query refused, doesn't gate out.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] slmclarengt:
Hotspot is working for CDMA 3G, but not for LTE. I have to manually force my phone to CDMA Only network in order to get the hotspot to work.

Is this expected and how could I get Hotspot tethering to work with LTE as well (or is that not feasible)?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
You may need to delete the following file and then reboot, which will then rebuild the file: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/cdmaapn.db

There is information about this procedure within this thread, as I had to do it upon my initial dirty flash of the first release of this ROM.

I just tested and tether is working for me on both 3G and LTE, so my suggestion is that file deletion.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
dirty flash ROM, I'm going to remove that mod...it needs to be updated

I'll test soon...dirty or clean flash?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] barleysoda:
I dirty flashed 2.2 beta over BB 2.1. I don't have any issues that I see yet. Havent tested tether because I never use it. Camera seems to auto-focus better but that could just be placebo. I hear there were some updated camera files.:good:

BTW...Titanium Backup says there are 39 new user+system apps to back up and I ran it right before I flashed the beta so these are updated apps from the beta. Looks like lots of HTC stuff including facebook and instagram for sense, gallery, camera, mail, messages, music, contacts, phone, and many system apps.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mildlydisturbed:
Dirty - looks like 3G works, LTE not so much.

BTW, don't invest too much time if I'm the only one seeing the issue - I barely use tethering and have an app that works fine if I need it. Just was letting you know it appeared to hate me, although I didn't notice it was LTE only hate when I mentioned it.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
Did you try deleting the file I posted above, and then restart?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I cleaned flashed & tested, 4g tether working here ok. You may need to delete the database ReproOne mentioned...boot into twrp, use file explorer to delete.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
OP updated w/ v2.2!!!

Changelog:

-rebased to 2.11.651.19 OTA

-firmware should be updated! https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811175

-dirty flash should be ok
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
those of you on the BETA should flash the attached zip to update your build.prop, for future notifications
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I am on BETA, so should I just flash the attached to update build.prop, or flash the entire official release?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
either, but I would flash the updated build.prop unless u enjoy sitting through optimization ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I'd rather not. So there were no further changed since the BETA?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
only a updated G+ which u probably already have
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] robshabazz:
I just updated & I noticed that back to kill app isn't working for me, can someone verify please
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
No, lp back kill is not working yet
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Mindripper72:
Hi everyone. Question about the hot-spot. I use the hotspot for my PS3 to play call of duty aw. With bad boyz 2.1, I had Nat type 2, since I updated to 2.2 it's showing Nat type 3 strict. Any idea why there is a difference?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I got LP Back Kill added, see attached...also added to svn, will add to Mods App soon...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] aviatordoc:
Thanks OMJ, I updated the firmware and then loaded the 2.2. But in all the anticipation forgot to wipe before running the rom. Should I wipe and reflash?

Everything appears to be working for now...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
no, dirty flash should be ok
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
he already stated in post 1141, dirty flash is ok. However you should know the drill, issues or problems, full wipe reflash ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jllbenson:
FWIW...

To other flashers, this fix is very minimal but the system needs to rebuild so it take about 30 minutes before your back up and running. 5-10 min on boot screen and then 15-20 min optimizing the apps. Just like what happened when you flashed up to BB v 2.2.

This may be obvious to most but I have been hosed before by flashing something small that i thought would be quick and then I needed my phone shortly after but I was poop out of luck for awhile.

Thanks for the good work OMJ & BB
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I noticed that after applying the updated firmware, even before applying the Bad Boyz BETA and final current release, the phone seemed to get warmer during use where as before it did not.

Anyone else notice this?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
How long have you allowed the ROM to settle? Sometimes it takes my device up to two days to fully settle, get onto a proper charge cycle and whatnot. Also, what kernel are you running? Stock, elementalx? Worst case scenario, if it was me, and if it's that bad, clean flash.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BUBBA DUB'S:
I have yet to apply update , but run the battery out completely and see if things cool down. Like [MENTION=3159319]pmacevad[/MENTION] stated sometimes it takes a full day/charge cycle to settle. I also was reading if you use elementalx kernel/app it battles pnpmgr with the kernel settings. I switched back to the stock kernel and uninstalled the elemental kernel app and noticed a significant improvement in temperature and battery life. I don't know much about how the pnpmgr works, but a clean install is your best bet if temps remain higher than normal.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
[MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION], do you have the stock kernel available for download/flash so I can do a side by side comparison of stock and custom kernel performance/battery life? I don't want to dirty flash because of some things that I place in my system and I'll be waiting 2 hours setting everything back up. Tia
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
here ya go...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
Thank you [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION].
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] acidburn29644:

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] benny3:
Yep thats it, It needs to be flashed in RUUmode. Then flash the updated rom if you havn't already
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Sim-X:
This is one of my favorite features, use it all the time if I want to restart an app. I haven't flashed the update yet. Should I just do a fresh SVN download, build and flash and this will already be baked in? After updating firmware of course
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
Yes latest has LP kill all.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
I flashed the LB Kill update and I bootlooped. Is the OP going to get updated with LB Kill baked in? I can't get the SVN.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
If you hard reset it should optimize apps and be fine. I think you have to wipe dalvik and cache before flashing the mod. Not sure though cause the hard reset fixed it for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] SRQ Rick:
I just downloaded and flashed it with no problems.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
Mine stalled on the boot screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] acidburn29644:
Sorry for nub question but what is ruu mode? And I saw a few different firmware packages what one do I use?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] BodhiBrock:
I wiped dalvik and cache, like you said, and it worked. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
yeah, it's committed to svn

I havent added to ROM, but I will be adding it to Mods App - updates

cool, I didn't wipe when I pushed it, usually it will automatically optimize when replacing certain framework files
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] bendaman619:
Uh oh?

I flashed the firmware update when I was on 2.1

Firmware failed.

It was an incomplete file, so I downloaded it again.

uncorruptedFirmware.zip failed when I flashed it.

I don't know why I did this, but I flashed the 2.2.

Then I panicked. Then the ROM booted, updated apps, and I was fine.

I went back to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, tried flashing the firmware file AGAIN.

didn't work.

So.... IDK how to check if I'm S-off S-on, IDK if this has to do with RUU or what.

I don't want to flash the Xposed framework module or do anything more until I know what to do from here.

What do I do?

UPDATE:

I checked my phone info -

BASEBAND

1.10.c1144022@50312.5

Build number

2.11.651.19 CL591203 release-keys

Do I somehow already have the new firmware flashed?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Aldo101t:
that's the latest firmware, but that radio doesn't look right.go to download mode and the screen will tell you s-off or s-on, give you your OS, and radio version
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mrrogers1:
You can check this on your Bootloader screen, it says it right at the top. If you were "ever" S-off, you are still S-off as it takes a VERY deliberate action (by you, it can't be done by software or remotely, it's a fastboot/download mode command and I don't even know if we can change the flag on our M9's yet) to return your phone to S-on.

Your baseband is not current, it should be 2.10.C1144070@50824. Do you have ADB tools setup? Use fastboot to apply the firmware, always works for me. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] pmacevad:
Out should look like this...

Also, it might be beneficial to actually find out if your are s-off or not. And locking and unlocking your bootloader when you ruu. Otherwise things may not update properly. I am s-off so I don't think I've had to relock my bootloader for anything yet, including running ruu. Hope you get this sorted out.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] bendaman619:
Awesome thanks!

When I originally rooted and put a recovery on my device, I took a crash course in ADB and fastboot. Those exe tools on the main M9 development page helps. Windroid&Quibly or whatever.

So yeah, I'll do that later today.

I'm S-ON IDK if I want it off. Do I?

Anyone successfully tethered with 4G on this release yet? I keep getting a "limited connection message" on my windows PC with no internet. Didn't know if the APN edits were cooked in this initial release. Thanks OMJ.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Harfainx:
Seems to be working fine for me. I haven't had any issues since flashing this ROM.

No problem here. I have tethering on my plan though, so I'm not sure if you need a tether hack, or if there's something else going on.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Sim-X:
Weird, I can't seem to get it to work. This is what it does for me no matter what I try and download.

I think themes is tied into the sense launcher, I was going to try clearing the data for themes. Not really sure what to try next, I have had my HTC account a very long time so wonder if it's something with that.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] itsachirpthing:
Update:

I went back into recovery at /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and deleted the cdmaapn.db and dirty flashed and my 4G tethering is up and working (using it as I type). Think OMJ made this recommendation in the m8 thread when the fix was released. So far so good. Thought I would share. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Harfainx:
Did you make any changes with Prism mods or anything?

OMJ did say this before:
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Yeah, I found that odd. HTC Task was missing too.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
unfortunately, something else is causing this...I flashed the stock Prism & it's still not working for me
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Sim-X:
No changes, clean flash of this rom has been running pretty smooth since I installed it. It could be just HTC servers and not related to the rom.

I did find this http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8/512000-htc-home-themes-issue.html

Same issue looks like HTC servers have been having problems. I have a friend with a stock M9 might have him try his to see if it's working or not.
