[MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] thanks so much man my m9 runs great now, can you tell me the difference between a developer edition and international edition ??
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
They are pretty much the same

Difference now is your on the newest software HTC has released.

The 2.X firmware on the international is beta, not finished
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] estebato:
future update

great, so can i be sure that i will receive and install future OTAs (perhaps Android M) on my actual device config without any issue ?? (s-off, bootloader unlocked, stock rom loaded via microsd zip method) ???
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
Yes if you remain stock you will continue to receive updates
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] yoitsjustin:
Mine isn't and it's receiving the update now. It downloads but has an error flashing with the stock recovery where it asks me to reflash or something
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
Did you restore the stock system image and stock recovery ?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] shokouhi:
Does anyone know how often HTC will upload the new RUU? The site is showing 1.32 now. I understand that you will get the OTA, but I went back to viper rom, and in the future I would rather flash the new RUU.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bigp951:
Just wondering if it is possible to convert to dev ed by changing cid, flashing the stock image and recovery through fastboot? or do you need to flash the RUU and go through the whole process?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
you would be missing the firmware if you use the method you described

Best to follow the guide and use the RUU
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bigp951:
I forgot to mention I'm already using dev ed firmware...

As for RUU is it true that the best method is to rename it OPJAIMG and put on ext_sd? I only ask because I thought I read somewhere that is the only way to get status from modified to official.

EDIT-post 170 explains. Thanks [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] for the guide
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] d-pak:
HTC seems to update the RUU very infrequently. Probably have to wait a few months before the 2.8.617.4 version is up.

Getting the upgrade was a PITA for me. I was running the 1.32.x.x using RUU but I had rooted and had custom recovery. Of course i t would not upgrade. Flashed stock recovery but it crapped out at the end saying that there was a mismatch of system ...well DUH, I was rooted. No way out...had to backup everything and then flash back to stock 1.32.x.x RUU, easy enough then force update to 5.1.

Now I am on 5.1, but unless I root, my backups via titanium are useless. Took hours to restore stuff back to "normal" considering I needed the phone the next day for work. Ugh!

Now I miss root and app ops, etc. Battery on 5.1 sucks just as much as when I first got the phone before all the optimization I could do only at root....the cycle begins again.

I want to make a backup of /system but I cannot without rooting, which will defeat the purpose of a stock /system backup at 2.8.617.4.....stuck in a catch 22.

For nandroid backup using twrp, I need to have stock recovery at 2.8.617.4, but I do not see that anywhere.

If someone please can tell me how to get a stock recovery image and make a system backup without root. I would love to get back to root, with the hope that next update I can restore stock recovery and systems and get update without full wipe....such a PITA.

The camera update has been good....but otherwise still having some bt cut outs and battery has ben worse. I have given it 2 days to stablize but between google services, google app and htc service pack... they suck up over 50% of battery usage. With app ops I could disable location and keep awake for those and any other apps and get decent battery. oh and no charging issues with 5.1 thus far, in fact slightly quicker with stock charger.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
Hello everyone. I have a T-Mobile M9 (unlocked and running on AT&T) and I was going to manually update it to the latest maintenance update to fix the heat issues, but then I came across this forum and I figured if I can convert it to the Developer Edition, I wouldn't have to worry about updates in the future (since I'm no longer on T-Mobile).

That being said, in the OP, I see that there is a link to firmware without the red text, but when I click on it, it doesn't have anything there. Nevertheless, I suppose that doesn't matter in terms of the device showing "modified" or not, correct?

Also, in the OP, I see the RUU has "ATT_NA" in the name... even though it doesn't say anything about it being the Developer Edition, that's the one I should use, correct? If I don't want it showing "modified," I'd just rename it 0PJAIMG.zip (instead of RUU), correct?

Just read over on Android Police that another Developer Edition update is available... could that be used to put me all the way up to the most current version (after I've changed my CID) or no?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] scoot0073:
The 1.32.617.30 is Developer Edition once you finish converting there will be a OTA update waiting for you which will then put you on 2.8.617.4 firmware then you will be up to date.

And yes my Developer Edition says ATT in Download Mode so that is the correct.

But you are really over thinking it, just follow the OP directions and you will OK.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
I appreciate the response. After I sent the message, I noticed that the one on HTC's site had letters in there that looked similar so I just rolled with it. I'm working on an update at the moment, though I don't think it's the latest version... maybe it'll be the next one.

I'm running a T-Mobile version.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
Here's a picture of my M9 in download mode. Shows the CID. Is this the correct ROM (dated back in March)? Can't get it to take the update.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
Do you still get 4G/LTE or does it show H+ now?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
Well, it did update to 2.8.617.4 (after I made sure that I changed the CID and MID). The only issue I'm seeing at this point is that I have H+ now instead of 4G/LTE. Is it because I have the T-Mobile variant? Wouldn't think so if I had 4G/LTE before (only bands that are different between AT&T and T-Mobile is that AT&T has Band 5 and 29). Any ideas?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] scoot0073:
Yes you flashed the correct one 1.32.617.30 after that there will be a OTA update to 2.8.617.4

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

The EXE file you run from from a computer and the computer flashes the phone sorta speak.

You don't put it on the phone to Flash.

Now the. ZIP RUU you put on your SD card and rename it to what the OP said to and reboot the phone in Download Mode and press volume up to Flash..

Your CID and MID must be the same as the Developer Edition

If not rewrite them.

I got the Developer Edition M9 and was on AT&T had LTE 90% of the time in the area where I live and work. Very seldom did I see 3G.

Now I switched to Tmobile about 2 months ago and I'm still in the same areas and see 3G & H+ 90% of the time seldom LTE and I'm in Tmobile LTE coverage area also.

But I have decided that I'm going back to AT&T.

But I have no real answer for it jus like you. But it could be the band's Idk. Someone told me to Flash a Tmobile radio and see if it any better but I haven't yet bc honestly I don't see it get any better if I'm lacking certain bands that Tmobile M9 has.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
I appreciate the responses. I'm about to do my wif'es now since she's having issues receiving and sending MMS. Nevertheless, I suppose I need to go to the T-Mobile forum to find a radio to flash?

If you don't mind, where can I go to find out how to flash an EXE file for HTC? I'm accustomed to Samsung devices so this is a bit new for me.

Thanks again...

How to flash a RUU.exe ?

Plug in the phone to a windows PC and double click the RUU. Be sure you have HTC drivers installed and you may need some C++ librarys
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Ajxx16:
So I decided to just go the RUU.exe path since the latest is up. I've never actually use RUU before and it seems to be stuck at "75% Sending". Is this normal or is something jacked up here?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
It will finish, wait on it
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Ajxx16:
I wasn't really planning on touching it but it has been like this for almost an hour now I'd say. Also, being that I have S-off, I didn't have to relock my bootloader to run the RUU right? Or it would have error'd out?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
Do it again. Maybe put the phone in download mode first
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Ajxx16:
So any command aside from fastboot devices (which it is recognizing), is giving me - FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

And holding down the power button isn't restarting the phone.

So an update:

Even though the RUU utility said it was sending whatever at 75% completion and my phone showed and full green bar just sitting there. After a force restart (which takes all 3 buttons) I am successfully on 5.1.

Hi, I have instaled the developer edition for my ATT one M9 with CID BS_US001, but when I try the OTA update 2.6.651.11, at some point it goes to the recovery and appears some text saying aborted.

Yes that is Stock reflash and then once booted check for the OTA update. And it will install
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] portnoy56:
This is the one I flashed. Maybe doesnt work because I change the recovery. Im going to try it again right after flashing.

Thx.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Thanks. I will reflash it. Do I have to flash it using the download mode with the renamed zip? (0PJAIMG.zip)
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
I would use the 0PJAIMG.zip to make sure that it doesn't show up as modified. Also, make sure that you changed the CID and the MID (my first time through, I didn't change the MID and the OTA didn't take).

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

So Scott since someone suggested you flash a T-Mobile radio (since you were/are on T-Mobile), would it make sense for me to try and find an AT&T radio to flash to get 4G/LTE back on my T-Mobile M9? Or should I find a T-Mobile M9 radio and flash it (since I had 4G/LTE on AT&T before converting to the Developer Edition)? Or would that likely break future OTAs?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

I lost 4G/LTE (now H+) on my T-Mobile M9 (which was unlocked) once I converted to the Developer Edition. I suppose if I flash a T-Mobile radio, would it allow me to get 4G/LTE back? If so, would that break future OTAs?

thanks

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

If you have T-Mobile, you will have to unlock it after it's converted. I used a seller on ebay (simunlocks) that was $3.99; I got the unlock code in less than 3 min. They sent two and the 2nd one was the one that worked both times (two M9s).
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] scoot0073:
If you're Tmobile M9 is Sim unlocked and you had LTE on AT&T b4 the conversion then you could flash the T-Mobile radio back or you could flash a AT&T radio and see but if you're Tmobile M9 is missing some of the AT&T bands then Idk if it would be better over the T-Mobile radio.. Sorry I'm not really knowledgeable in this area..

But I do know that you can flash either radio and see which works best for you..

And Idk if flashing a different radio will Bork OTA update from installing..
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
I appreciate the response... I'll have to look at the radio in my son's phone and see what it says... I'll see what clsA says about breaking future updates. I saw where there was another thread that said to flash another radio, you had to do super CID, but according to this thread, super CID is not an option any more. Any ideas on how to flash the radio? Is it just a matter of going in to download mode and inputting the correct adb command?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
SuperCID is fine on the M9, but it will block OTA updates

Test all the Radio's you want, but be prepared to RUU back to stock for updates
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
My apologies for the questions... just new to HTC... So do I have to SuperCID in order to test the radios or no?

Also, I presume going back to stock means I'd have to flash the RUU in the OP, correct? If so, help me understand how I can make the tested radio stick, be stock, AND continue to get updates?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
it's not that complicated, if you root or alter the phone in any way you won't be able to get OTA updates until you return the phone to "Stock"
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
I understand that it may not be too complicated... Just want to understand the processes and not make noob mistakes that may brick our phones :).

Do I need to SuperCID to try the radios or can I just try to flash them as I currently am (S-OFF, Unlocked, and SIM-Unlocked)? If I SuperCID, would I remain on SuperCID after I find the radio that I need or just revert back to CID and keep the radio that I chose?

Reverting back to stock... would that just be flashing the Developer Edition radio?

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] clsA:
I didn't mean any disrespect. The first post is the instructions for converting to developer edition. Flashing radio's is really beyond the scope of this thread.

What I'm trying to explain is if you alter the phone in any way it will most likely break the ability to take OTA updates.

The easy and fast way back to Stock is to flash a RUU. Unfortunately this wipes the phone and you have to re setup the phone from scratch.

Your S-off enables you to flash pretty much any firmware or RUU. SuperCID makes this even easier. One drawback to SuperCID is it breaks the possibility to OTA update. Flashing a radio only requires custom recovery and S-off.

If you need T-Mobile firmware / radio use a T-Mobile RUU. And then flash custom recovery, root and flash a custom rom with T-Mobile support.

If you need more detail instructions PM me.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] jbm0329:
For anyone who comes here looking to revert back to the T-Mobile RUU from the Developer Edition, it's super simple to do. I downloaded the RUU that was provided in the OP, changed the name to 0PJAIMG.zip (placed it on the 32GB external SD card after I formatted it; do NOT put it in just yet... wait til you are in download mode, else it will try to flash the ROM that's on it. If you forget, it's not the worse thing ever... when it tries to flash the ROM, just say no and it'll go in to download mode)... I used adb to reboot into download mode (probably can just turn the phone off and use the power button and volume down button simultaneously to get the same result). Get the command window to open just like you did when you converted it to the Developer Edition. Once in download mode, I used the command of "fastboot oem writemid 0PJA12000" (no quotes)... this changed the MID back to T-Mobile's. Then I used "fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010" to change the CID back to T-Mobile's. Then I used the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and it you will need to choose 'download' mode again; it will then ask if you want to flash the RUU (volume up is yes and volume down is no). It flashed with no problem...

My only concern was whether or not it would SIM lock the device again (I'm on AT&T and T-Mobile uses an app to unlock their current phones and you have to be on their network). I didn't have this problem... I suppose it didn't SIM lock it because the bootloader is unlocked and I have S-Off. I saw a message flash asking me to put a T-Mobile SIM card in it but it didn't stop (just a brief flash). After it finished loading, I simply had to add AT&T's 4G APN settings and it works just fine.

Hope this helps someone...

This time I had one. from 2.8.617.4 update. Used twrp to restore the system image. Checked and this undid the root. Then replaced stock recovery to 2.8.617.4_OTA-Stock_recovery.img

The update downloads, however it fails the install. Did try clearing cache, etc. No luck.

Fails with:

E:Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map

Any advice is much appreciated. Really don;t want yo do another RUU..ugh!
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] krazyace35:
Did you make a system img backup? If so flash that in twrp and then try ota again. When you root your phone it mounts system rw. Htc has put an identifier in their ota's to detect any system modifications like root, freezing system apps and system mount rw. If you didn't do a system img backup in twrp before rooting you will have to ruu back to stock.
