error

Everything was going fine until I tried to send the RUU but it says that the file is too big. Its saying "FAILED (remote: 22: fail to flash via downloadzip). I've had RUUs need me to run them twice in the past but they've ended up working.

Anyone run into this?

Planning to try this on TMobile M9 tonight. Can we use the same procedure like M8 to change the Model ID in M9? I have to change the Model Id from TMobile one to developer edition.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] ugoff:
I did. Use the htc_fastboot.exe linked in the OP. It will take the larger RUU.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Schmerg:
Yeah I was using a mac the whole time so that wasn't really an option. I found my old PC and used the HTC_fastboot and it worked.

Hi everyone, this is great news.

I would love to remove all the bloatware on my phone!

Quick question, if we convert our phone from AT&T to Developer Edition, will we be able to receive stock developer OTA updates?

This is my only hesitation before I do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

M9 tmobile unlocked version lte band 40 need unlock

Hello sir my HTC m9 is T-Mobile unlocked version having 4.30.617.12 Android 7. I want LTE band 40

Already have 3 and 4 as my required but still need band 40 for the best internet speed. So what should I do.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Jaytrhe:
There is a way, however the OP of that thread has stated it may no longer work since security updates of Android N. Also, it's extremely risky and most users have had trouble unlocking band 40 or getting their carriers operating on that frequency to communicate with their device. By any chance are you in India? To be honest, I would stick with the current bands rather than trying a method that may harm your device. However, should you still seek to go about unlocking the baseband 40 (I strongly urge against it), I could supply a link to the thread .

Hi [MENTION=536717]jameshafer[/MENTION]

I looked at your photos and you seem to have 2 AT&T phone and one that is already Developer edition (1.32.617.30)

As far as I know nothing has changed as far as converting the phone goes

check that all three phones are S-off by booting to Download Mode

If / When the phone has S-Off you use fastboot from your PC to do the CID change (your MID is already correct)

then it's just a matter of flashing the developer edition RUU on the phone

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Jayanyway:
I have the same question as HNIC215. Is this an official conversion to the Developer Edition, meaning you'll receive updates via OTA by HTC once they release it? If so, I am so on board. All this AT&T junk is killing my battery even after I disabled them and I cannot wait for them to push updates lol
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] iggdawg:
I used to fret about the OTA thing. But honestly, the devs here are much quicker about updating their ROMs than the carriers will ever be. While everyone is waiting on OTA, you could be just flashing the next up date your dev of choice has. And unless it's a really big one, it's not like you have to wipe your device to do it.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Jayanyway:
That is true and I understand that but some of us like official released OTA. Just a comfort thing I suppose. Question still stands, will this grab OTA updates?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] HNIC215:
While I certainly agree with your comment, there is always a sense of comfort, for myself at least, in receiving official OTA updates directly from HTC (or any other company) as opposed to always having to depend on XDA members and manually reflashing to the newest version(s) ourselves. The carriers are the worst and always take forever.

Either way works for me but I just wanted some clarification, so I knew for sure how it all works, before I attempted to try this method myself.

After using the Note 4 on AT&T and not being able to root or customize due to the bootloader being locked, I'm just glad we are able to root and do all this "customizing" to our AT&T HTC One M9.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
Yes after the CID is changed and the RUU is flashed you will have a Developer Edition Phone and you will get updates direct from HTC.

Are you S-off ? Are you using the htc_fastboot ?

Yes I am soff and I used htc_fastboot with the htc exe. I finally got it to work with multiple attempts but I needed to use super cid 11111111. Now it was not letting me use the update(I had to use the previous RUU for it to work), so then I had a smart idea to change the cid to BS_US002 and then reboot to bootloader and now I hard bricked my phone fml. My computer wont recognize my phone, it wont charge, and no matter how many times I try to do a hard reset my phone wont turn on... Any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:

you just changed CID and your phone is dead ?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] cables2590:
yep... I booted and started the dev edition, and then the update downloaded. It tried to install but gave me the error that it noticed the phone is modified so It wont install the update. So I booted to download mode and changed the cid. After the command to reboot executed the phone just didnt turn on. I have been stuck since then.

root stock recovery vs twrp OTAs

Is is possible to gain root (install supersu) with the stock recovery? If not, will the developer edition be able to install OTAs via twrp or will one be required to flash the stock recovery everytime an OTA comes out? Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
No

You have to do more than that .. you have to have an untouched backup of the system partition and restore it also

for OTA the process is

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img

boot the phone and download and install the OTA

Converted a brand new out of the box ATT M9 to Dev. Coming from M7 Dev and it was long a$$ process but a few nail biting moments but everything went off without a hitch. I flashed the pre-camera-fix RUU and I can confirm that it immediately got an update from HTC and applied it.

I forgot to save the APNs for AT&T's M9 that has not been converted?

Now that it is not 1AM, I will post a few observations from my unlock, root, S-OFF, conversion experience:

- fastboot did not work for me, not an old version, not the one that was linked from the htcdev.com site. I exclusively used htc_fastboot.exe as posted here, for all commands including getting tokens, etc.

- stay away from USB 3 on Windows 8.x, It took longer but went soother on a USB2 port.

- S-OFF took 3 reboots/tries. After payment sunshine did its thing and then rebooted once. Upon boot, it was the only app running in the background and it seemed as though it was doing it over again. Again it rebooted (second time) and was still not s-off. The 3rd time I launched sunshine again and it then it did its thing and this time the phone SHUTDOWN instead of reboot. Now it was S-OFF.

- when RRU loading the developer.zip (renamed to "M9DevRUU.zip" for ease of typing) The first zip failed... see output below. I ran it again and it was the same output. But all the other zips inside the RUU succeeded. So I proceeded with the reboot after the second time. All seems well.

- Lastly after RUU was updated. It did not automatically reboot. It sat there with the Green Download symbol and the progress bar at 100%. I had to reboot it using the command.

- The phone did reboot a few times by itself after that and at one point seemed like it was back in RUU mode (shiny silver htc logo). The was the also the case when I applied the UPDATE from HTC.

First thought that it that it is bricked, but just sitting there having patience is the key here. Do not touch it and let it do its thing - was the biggest lesson for me.

Yeah the first time I tried it I bricked it... I haven't tried it again yet though... Idk if I was to impatient or if it was because I was using USB 3 on Windows 8... I'm debating to try again but I'm a little afraid, and I have to pay for soff again...

After converting to dev edition, I re-rooted, which means system is overwritten.

Is system specific/unique to a device or generic?

I did not have a backup of that. It is possible to flash just the system.img from the RUU zip (much like recovery). I assume doing that makes it unrooted.

To convert to International you would need
