I have version 1.32.666.30, so what do I do now? I have another thread full of me panicking, getting angry, getting red triangles from trying tons of wrong things. Ive made things worse for myself and just want an answer.

I found a bell one elsewhere I think, and the WIND one since ill be using the phone on the wind, I'll try both. Where on my phone do they go so the Restore function in TWRP finds them. Throwing them anywhere on my sd doesnt let TWRP see them for some reason.

the restore section of TWRP displays nothing for both SD and Device.

If I use the install feature to try and install either zip file they both give me a md5 error of some sort.

EDIT: had to make a backup to initially create the folders, but it worked. I then installed a stock bell one I found online, removed TWRP using stock recovery, then used "Fastboot adb lock" to lock the bootloader. And now when I try to update my phone for OTA updates (the reason I was doing this in the first place) it boots to the white bootloader screen. No errors, that is until I try to enter recovery mode, then it says "failed to boot to recovery mode". I'm going to guess I have the wrong recovery for the bell m9. If so

Please "hold my hand" and find me the right one, I started doing this at 11am yesterday, and had a short nap then continued this, im probably really lucky I havent bricked the thing yet.

EDIT 2: Am I getting this error because the stock bell package I restore already has a recovery in it and when I restore another recovery image to remove twrp it messes with the stock bell one? Do I just need to not do that, does the bell image come with a recovery that replaces twrp for me?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
First format your SD card to exfat. Then you're able to copy the files. Then create a backup with TWRP on the SD card. Backing up boot should be enough. You just need the directories that get created during this process. Then copy the backup from here to "TWRP/BACKUPS/<YourSerialnumber>/" on your SD card. (At this point I always wipe everything except "Micro SDcard", "USB-OTG" and "SD-Ext" in the advanced wipe menu.) Check the "Mount system as read-only" box in the Mount menu and restore the backup. If you boot now your system should be stock again. Depending on the fact whether the stock recovery is already included in these backups or not you may need to flash it afterwards.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
How can I tell if it has a recovery or not?

EDIT: I used the Bell file from this thread and now it say I have no OS installed. What do?

EDIT 2: ignore that, I used the wrong file... So after I "flash" the files using restore.

EDIT 3: It doesnt, it boots back into TWRP. Im not going to go any further than this until someone findfs me the proper stock bell m9 recovery. I have looked and havent had much luck. This is what I will try - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553378
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
If you wipe before restoring the backup then TWRP will tell you that there is no OS installed. But that warning can be ignored. After the restore you should boot to bootloader mode and try to boot to your recovery, again. If TWRP is still there you need to flash the stock recovery in download mode or via TWRP. If TWRP is gone all should be fine.

Edit: If you boot to your system and download the OTA (DO NOT INSTALL IT! Choose install later.) you can grab the stock recovery from it.

Edit2: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THAT RECOVERY YOU LINKED IT'S NOT FOR YOUR PHONE!
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Okay, once the update is downloaded, where do I go on the phone to find it, and extract it to my pc?

I installed the recovery... hopefully flashing the new one over it can save it.

I did fastboot oem lock, do I have to re-unlock the bootloader again before I flash the correct recovery?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Re-unlock and flash TWRP. After you downloaded the OTA it can be found in "/data/data/com.htc.updater/files/". Use the TWRP file manager to copy it to your SD card and then use your pc to copy it from there to the directory you prefer. Open the *.zip file and the firmware.zip file inside of it. There you will find the stock recovery ("recovery.img") you need.

With TWRP you need to create a backup on your SD card with only "recovery" checked. If you open that backup you will find two or three files (one logfile, "recovery.emmc.win" and maybe a MD5 file depending on your chosen options in TWRP). Delete the "recovery.emmc.win" and its MD5 file. Copy the recovery from the OTA into the backup folder and rename it to "recovery.emmc.win". If you now restore that backup it will override TWRP with the needed stock recovery.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
This is what happens when I try and extract the firmware zip.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
What kind of programm are you using? If you're only using windows for opening the files you need to unzip the OTA beforehand. Windows isn't able to open zip files inside of unzipped zip files.

Edit: I always use 7-zip (version 9.20). It's free and I never faced any errors as the one you're facing right now.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Just tried 7zip and got this error.

I'm going to try downloading the update again and see if that fixes anything.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Link to the Firware.zip folder - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByLjP3_N4HczdE5CVEhQV1hfT0U

Maybe you'll have better luck that I.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
I had no problems with the extraction. Don't know what went wrong on your side. The file is uploading right now. (It might take some time because I'm uploading another file since today morning at the same time.) It will be available here.

Edit: It should be downloadable now.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
I got it, I did what you said and changed the name a stuff then put it back. When I tried to restore it using TWRP it told me some partition error. This was after I flashed the bell files from this thread. So I just went ahead and used ADB to flash the recovery image. I then locked the bootloader and tried to update.

It downloads it and everything then goes to a screen where it shows a phone with a spinning circle, it stays there for about 1/8th of the bar then goes to a red triangle.

EDIT: Im now unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP onto it again. I'm obviously doing things wrong again.

EDIT: "No partition selected to restore" is the error.
[One (M9) General] matthewstice:
Can someone please tell me where the wind mobile stock ruu is?

I know wind sells the at&t version of m9 but curious if the wind specific ruu is posted I can't seem to pinpoint it.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Wind mobile Canada**
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
I don't know why that partition error appeared. Hopefully you didn't mess up any partition by flashing the AT&T recovery earlier. I'm not sure whether another try with TWRP and the backup will be successful. Maybe the best solution is trying to get the 1.32.666.30 RUU from here. But as said in the other thread that website isn't for free.

Edit:

It's impossible to find the correct RUU for you without knowing your firmware version. (Besides RUUs do not always exist for every firmware version.) What's stated in the line with "OS" at the beginning when you boot to download mode?
[One (M9) General] SaHiLzZ:
No such thing as RUU for any Canadian M9. Closest you will come to is the TWRP backup posted in my OP.
[One (M9) General] SaHiLzZ:
Hi.. What is the 'goal' of restoration?

May I suggest, custom rom > S-off > Dev RUU ?
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Another reason for me not to like android. I had some bad experience trying to root and install roms on an S2 once and that killed my liking of android then, it's happening all over.

I'm not willing to shell out money I dont have right now, so I can't use that link. If I have ruined the phone, then I guess I'll try out ViperM9, it's my only choice I guess.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

the goal is to return the phone to stock so I can update it. It wont let me update it while it;s rooted and has TWRP on it.
[One (M9) General] b.wilz:
Ah OK, mine came with 1.32.661.6

Do you still need it then? I might make one for myself but if I can just use that earlier one in the future then I may not bother...
[One (M9) General] SaHiLzZ:
Once your phone updates, the older one is not as useful, but still valuable to have.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
os-1.32.666.30 in the os line. Sorry for the late reply, sleep was kind of important. I ended up liking all the extra stuff ViperOneM9 threw into the rom (quicksetting bar, more options when you hold the power button, annoying donate popup)

I'm gonna try to get this working, i really want to. How do I fix a broken partition and return it to carrier stock.

EDIT: Flashing the recovery you provided for me using adb just gives me the red triangle when I try and access it.

I need Stock Bell Partition Files, and Stock Recovery that doesnt Red Triangle of Death the phone.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
The part with the firmware version in the post you quoted was my answer to matthewstice because he wanted to know which RUU to use. :p

The red triangle screen actually is the stock recovery. It looks different than you might know it from past firmware versions because HTC changed its look with the android 5.1 update. (And as you know that's from where we grabbed it.)

If your partitions are really messed up then the only way to fix them is running a RUU. The one for your firmware version is on the site I linked earlier. The only other option is getting S-OFF which can only be achieved by using sunshine which costs 25 bucks and after that using a RUU from a different SKU. So either way you will have to pay if you want to repair your phone. Sorry that I don't have any better news.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
When I do get that red triangle screen, it just hangs there permanently until i hard reset the phone (Vol Up + Power). Which is why I am thinking i did something wrong.

EDIT: IF anyone reading this Edit has a payed account for the website, it would be awesome if you could grab me that file. I personally think charging someone for files that are normally free all across the web is stupid. Sorry, dud who though he could make a quick buck from the files.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Yeah, I got that. And it's not normal that you see this screen if/when you try to install an OTA. (Whereas it is normal if you see it after you try to acess recovery mode.) I only wanted to explain that you already have the stock recovery since you said that you still need it. And as said earlier the only solutions I see are either paying for the RUU or paying for sunhsine. I know that this is not what you want to hear but I can't change these facts...
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Yeah, thank you for your help though. Sorry about things, we all know how people get when they get upset.
[One (M9) General] clsA:
I think my Friend [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] may be able to get you the RUU you need if you ask nicely

- 1.32.666.30 -
[One (M9) General] alray:
Unfortunately, I did not downloaded anything for the M9 from ir-file.com like I did for the M7.

The 1.32.666.30 signed ruu does exist and available on ir-file.com but someone will need to create an account (mine expired a couple weeks ago) in order to download it which mean paying for at least a monthly/30gb subscription :mad:

If someone is willing to pay for an account, download everything you can and rehost on androidfilehost.com so it can be downloaded by everyone for free :good:
[One (M9) General] clsA:
Yeah we had a Thread like this back when the phone was released > http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545

but it went off topic for some time and updates seem to be non existent any more.

[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:

----------

Now, so I don't screw this up.

Right now, I have stock bell files from this thread

stock recovery provided by Flippy

and have relocked the bootloader

After I get my hands on the RUU file, (someone can kindly tell me which one)

What do I do from there? Again, so I dont screw things up like I already did.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
You don't need any of the other files. Just the RUU. You can flash it either by using fastboot commands or by using a SD card that is not bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32.

I prefer the SD card method so here is what I would do:

Copy the file to the root directory of the SD card.

Rename it to "0PJAIMG.zip". (That's a zero not an O.)

If necessary, put the card back into your phone. (Depends on how you copied the RUU.)

Boot to download mode and follow the instructions on the screen.

At the end you will have to push the power button (your phone will tell you when) and your phone will shut down. Wait some seconds and restart it. All should be fine then. You can then delete the RUU on the SD card.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Do I have to root the phone or anything before I do this?

I just went into the M9's download option and it only shows

"System info

barcode

reboot to bootloader

reboot to download mode

reboot

power down"

If I try and go into recovery i get a permanent red triangle until I reset. Should I unlock the bootloader and put TWRP on? (when the time comes)

EDIT: How do you format an SD while it is in the phone, what is a good free app?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
No, nothing else needed. And it won't work if you do not fulfill all requirements. (SD card <32gb, fat32, RUU in root directory of the card, RUU named "0PJAIMG.zip, booted to download mode)

Why not use the memory menu in settings?

Edit: And be aware that the RUU deletes everything on your phone. So backup messages, pictures, contacts, etc. beforehand.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Yeah, I never keep imoirtant stuff on the phone, just my 64GB sd, I have a 32 one I can use.

Will the phone format it to fat32? or is there an option to
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
There is no other option than fat32.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Thank you all for you patience. Which file will I need to download in the end.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
I think Asselalf will post a direct link to the correct file when he finished downloading and was able to reuploade the RUU. ;)
[One (M9) General] Asselalf:
Here you go: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347799662
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Thank you tons, if this doesn't work ill be in a hole somewhere worshiping a BlackBerry and burning the HTC M9

EDIT: getting errors when trying to move it, same errors as the last issue I had. Only stuff from that website. Do I need to register with it or is windows 10 just being stupid.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
You mean, you can't download the file? That's strange. You shouldn't need to register if you only want to download files.

Just checked it. I am able to download the RUU (with Firefox on Win 7).

Edit: Or did I understand you wrong and you're not able to copy the file to the SD card? Did you try plugging the SD card directly into your pc instead of copying the file while it is inside your phone?
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
I can download it, I just cant unzip it with winzip, 7zip or windows zip, I cant look inside it, and I cant copy it to a new location. Im currently downloading it over again in case that was the issue.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Why do you want to unzip it? Just copy it to the SD card and rename it.
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
Each time I try and copy it it tell me the device isnt connected, SD card or Internal memory.

EDIT: I put it in a folder before transferring and that worked.
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Did you try that?
[One (M9) General] BriniaSona:
I solved that. Right now the phone went through some black screens with red font, I followed the instructions and now it reset and turned off. I assume once I turn it on everyuthing will be in wokring order or is there anything else I need to do?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
If it said, that the flash was successful and that you should push the power button to turn it off then you're back to stock. If it only shut down by itself then you need to wait a bit more. There is at least one reboot during the flashing process.

Edit: It sometimes happens that the RUU reboots to system instead of rebooting to download mode. If that's the case you need to turn the phone off again and manually boot to download mode.

You can't downgrade firmware unless you are S-OFF.. and you need the firmware.zip of that version to flash it. Restoring backups will not restore your firmware version.

[One (M9) General] korbs710:
Hey Everyone, My Rogers M9 recently started boot looping so I thought it was smart to root the phone and install a custom ROM to fix it (stupid idea). I am running OS 2.11.631.2 and no matter what ROM I flash it is stuck in a boot loop (gets to Optimizing for the first time and will give and "Unfortunately gapps or phone or system ui has failed" and then will continue to boot loop and never get back to Optimizing apps. I have tried many different ROMs (Venom 3.50, ARHD 12.0, Eragon 10, CM 12.1). I finally tried restoring with the Rogers001 RUU from here. I tried the restore for the first time and it installed and when it asked me if I wanted to root with Super SU I said yes. Then it just was on a boot loop with the HTC logo and couldn't even launch TWRP (I am using 2.8.7.0), so I had to use fastboot to flash TWRP again. Then I tried the restore again but this time it will boot to setup and after a few seconds (30 seconds) it will just reboot. What can I do to fix this? I was reading that maybe this is because my firmware is too high? Someone told me to downgrade firmware by changing to S-OFF but the problem is I cant use Sunshine when I can't even boot up the phone (or can I?). So that's my situation pretty much, have a very unusable phone and literally don't know what to do anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M9) General] mfg81:
Hello,

I'm on wind with software 1.32.1500.31 (restored from this thread -- thanks for that).

First apologies if this has already been explained. I've restored to stock (using TWRP) but no matter what I do I cannot take the OTA to 5.1. The download succeeds and then the phone reboots to install it. Obviously it doesn't work with TWRP still installed, so I fastboot flash the recovery that comes with the update (the 5.1 update), and that seems to get farther, but it fails with a red "!" in a red triangle.

I'm hoping I've overlooked something obvious -- can someone explain how I can get the update flash to succeed?

Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

I recently screwed my phone up royally trying to bring it back to stock and then installing the 2.11.666.2 Bell Mobility OTA.

My bootloader is relocked now and im stuck in a situation where the bootloader thinks the phones OS is 2.11.666.2.

My phone will not boot up, all I can get to is the bootloader, download mode, and stock recovery. I cant flash anything 1.32.666.30 because the bootloader believes it needs 2.11.666.2

I have no stock or backup of 2.11.666.2 so I cannot easily flash and fix the issues.

I can go into recovery and try to sideload the 2.11.666.2 OTA BUT it fails because of changes that were made to the system partition.

Would anyone be able to give me a system image from 2.11.666.2? I have a feeling if I had that image I could fastbot flash system system.img and the verification would pass because of the system image coming from the 2.11.666.2

I soooo dont want to have to dish out 600$ to buy a new phone :(
