I learned long ago when restoring apps via TBu, if one hangs to see what it is and to delete it from TBu memory and reinstall from Playstore and make a new backup afterwards. Sometimes the backups get corrupt. Sometimes going from rom to rom will corrupt a backup too.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Lunaillij:
That's a good idea. I'll do that. I've been going back and forth between roms a lot. But I've been using Fluent as a DD lately. I enjoy this Rom.

Just swapped over to 2.1.1 from the 1.x base, don't miss all the bloatware, that's for certain. Running well so far...

Couple of days on 2.1 and all is good but unfortunately have to ruu to stock again to deal with VZW tomorrow.

Hopefully be able to put 2.1.1 though its paces with a proper device again soon.

Thank you and keep up the good work [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Any chance of losing VoLTE with this ROM? I see others are losing it on other roms... didn't know if its a custom ROM thing or if it is individual roms doing it...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
There is always risks with S-OFF and flashing anything. However, there has been no connection to flashing any specific ROM to losing VoLTE.

S-OFF in general could cause VoLTE lose. People have lost it without S-OFF completely stock, as well.

I can say I've personally flashed Fluent ROM since beginning this project at least 50+ times (since v1.0 to now), and VoLTE is working great for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Well, I'm currently S-OFF with VoLTE still working, but I haven't left Stock yet... I wonder when it starts happening to people...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Hard to say honestly, but no one using my ROMs has lost it yet. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
No offense but your first post looks like a mess...

What do I download to get started on this coming from stock having just done S-OFF ? What do I flash in what order?

I want to get rid of most of the bloat, I only want a few verizon apps left... mainly My Verizon Mobile and that cloud thing I guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Non taken..

However, the OP is actually very straight forward...

What exactly is confusing? All information is there, and easy to understand.

Never had a complaint before and I've been posting ROMs for awhile, and always start the OP based on previous OPs.

please take the time and read everything.

Are you new to flashing ROMs?...

My Verizon is included as it's needed for VoLTE but could be downloaded from the PlayStore even if it wasn't....

I suggest flashing v2.1.. Developer Edition base, newest out there, it's also very debloated, however if something is missing you want that isn't found in the playstore, flash the "v1.3/v2.1-debloat-RemovedApps"
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MrTrip:
Far from new at flashing Roms, new at flashing on Verizon and the HTC M9 though, came from devices easily unlocked and rooted to.....this lol

Answered my own questions re-reading it, but what was confusing is mention of 2.1.1 around the thread but no download link in the OP. I'm assuming its not something that is released and stable yet then...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Well, technically I still answered your questions once you read the OP. :)

Please do me the favor in the future of reading and searching, I do my best at keeping the OP up-to-date and with all questions one may have. Input is always welcomed on what will make anything easier to understand. :good:

I'll add 2.1.1 to OP to avoid confusion. :cool:

More system updates: (unfotunately Android 5.1 is a bit of a pain, usually I would just add a patch.zip with the new apps, deleting the apps from data in the updater-script and adding the new apps into system, but with 5.1 this doesn't work and requires me to add the new apps into system/app in the ROM.zip and requires a full ROM clean flash)

New elemental X kernel works with our 2.10 base FYI, running it now
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:
I was having trouble with some apps causing T.B. to hang and also tried installing those apps in the Playstore and was getting error codes, I solved it by going to /data/data/(whatever app folder) and renaming it with .bak or just deleting it, go to playstore or T.B. and try installing again. How the app was in there and not installed, I don't know. Maybe something to do with an issue with HTC Backup restore.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Daswolven:
I was having an issue with Viper causing my phone to go berserk at less than 10% battery. Wanted to give this a shot, so I flashed, phone went stupid, realized I needed the framework. Lol. All is well so far. Very nice, will opine after a few days with it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] LibertyMonger:

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GoHskrs:
Just took the plunge (2.1.2)

(Verizon HTC One M9, S-OFF, bootloader *** UNLOCKED ***, TWRP 2.8.6.4)

I followed the instructions in the OP and installed the stock firmware and the 2.1.2 ROM without too many hassles. This was my first install of a custom ROM, so I'm not going to claim there weren't a few "pucker factor" moments, but all looks good now. Thanks! (also clicked the button of the same name on the OP) to andybones and all contributors and testers for making this package available!

One oddity - the updated ROM ran me back through the phone setup. At the point where it offered to restore my configuration (Wi-Fi passwords, etc.) from recent backups, it also gave me the option of restoring application data. Although there was a screen where I could pick the application(s) for which I wanted the data restored, I wasn't able to access the "Done" button to confirm my selections, so I just let it restore all applications' data. This resulted in a marathon Play Store download of applications which is still going on as I write this. (Maybe I shouldn't have let it restore my applications? Seems I'm getting everything back ...)

Going to install the 2.1.2 MOD pack and try to encrypt my internal storage next ...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Thank you.

Odd bug but if you put phone in landscape you can select done to set up phone as new.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] GoHskrs:
I think I had that option (in portrait mode), but I decided to let it go ahead and restore everything.

As a reference point for future Googlers, turning on "Phone storage encryption" seems to have worked without a hitch. We'll see what other headaches setting up Exchange ActiveSync causes me, but so far, so good.

Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Glad everything is working well!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Large number of system apps updated, will upload v1.3.3/2.1.3 shortly.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
I have been using the rom since I got s-off about two weeks ago. One thing I have noticed is that advanced calling seems to be broken. However, I do believe that I am still under VOLTE as I ran a speed test and I am getting 40 up 35 down. Is it possible that either, the current radios are not supporting advanced calling and\or advanced calling is performing some kind of non-root validation in order to function. Also is there a better way to test to see if I am on band 4 ie VOLTE to confirm my suspicions. When I dial *#*#4636#*#* nothing happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Sorry to hear this, I can say however vollte is working 100% on this ROM.

(You do have it turned on in Settings?)

Perhaps an app from playstore may be able to help with the radio band?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Yes I do. When I turn it say already active on this line. So I went online and disabled advanced calling and re-enabled through the phone and it didn't work. I am pretty sure volte is working as I just ran another speed test and got 55 down 20 up.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Sorry not sure what to suggest. Possibly an RUU and confirm working on stock?

I don't think vollte has anything to do with 4g speeds? It's for voice over 4g from my understanding. Idk I keep it turned off..
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] MIKEYSAKZ:
Bone stock for life Andy bones rules man I wish you had Samsung devices
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Thanks man! I'd love to dev on SG6, looked into buying one at one point but don't have the funds
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
It's not a huge deal just wondered if anyone had any ideas. The only thing I notice that might be connected is that my Verizon does not stay logged in.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bschram:
You'll want to RUU back to stock to see if voLTE works there. Check to see if you can access mobile data while in a phone call.

There's been a few people that have lost voLTE at some point in the S-Off, root, or ROM process, but we don't really know how/why/when the problem begins. The only known solution if you have entirely list voLTE on stock is to talk to Verizon's support and get a replacement device.

You can read some more info here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3162364

Also, voLTE does not have anything to do with speed. You may be thinking of XLTE instead. VoLTE only involves the advanced calling features such as data in a phone call, HD Voice, and video calling.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
HD calling is not worth a replacement device and sending it off to get s-off again. If I get bored I will ruu back to stock and give it a try. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bschram:
Sounds good. It's not the kind of bug that bothers everyone.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
It's 2015 no one actually talks on their phones anymore
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
What phone were you on while you sent it out? A couple users have had that break voltle provisioning. Best bet is to ruu and shut phone off when done. Remove volte from the account. Boot up phone and allow it to provision volte from the phone. Easiest way to test if it's working is to place a phone call while in solid 4g coverage and attempt to browse to a website.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
I was on my s4 for a couple of days. Probably the issue. I find it surprising people were returning phones for this problem. I find it hard to believe it's actually hardware problem
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
I was one of those people. Believe you me there was nothing phone or system side that could be done.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Seems strange. What during the s-off boot loader unlocking process could possibly be causing the issues. I wish I would have tested on stock before I flashed a rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
We don't really think it has anything to do with that. It's something with flashing roms that does it and it seems some phones are susceptible. My replacement was rock solid from day one. To test, follow the steps I detailed earlier.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] sidjohn:
I too had my phone replaced due to VoLTE issues. Was important to me to be able to use voice and data simultaneously - open a web browser or use maps for navigation while on a phone call.

Replacement handset has been solid on Fluent with updated Firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jsaxon2:
Out of curiosity, can you set up "OK Google" Detection from any screen? I had t send my last phone back do to a vibration not working, but VoLTE was not working either. One thing I noticed was that I could not setup OK Google detection either. Not sure if it is related to the VoLTE, but if you are unable to set it up, it might help tell us something. I think it said my language was not supported even the I was on US English.

I replied to the other thread...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
No worries man, you're good asking in here.

To answer the question, yes you can. ("OK Google" Detection from any screen has nothing to do with VoLTE)

If you are not able to, it most likely is because of Google Now being updated in the Playstore and is now in data/app instead of the system/app.

I am uploading new ROMs now with System updates which includes the latest 2 updates for the Google Now app, so you should have no issue after flashing this latest update. (Full wipe required.)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Updated ROMs

ROM links updated
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Just an update in case anyone running this rom runs into this bug. Following these steps worked. I currently have advanced calling working.

Thanks again
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Figures Wed get a sense home update the night after I update ROM.

I'm going to re-upload the ROMs with sense home and update the mod pack as well
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Andy

Do you think it's worth the update right now with the official ota dropping today
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Only if you use the Home Screen menu MOD a lot like I do, I personally clean flashed, (to test)

but with the OTA coming, I'll try and have it out by the end of the weekend (sans time) and how fast the OTA is able to be pulled.

So, really depends on the user. (for me I can get a clean flash set up back how I like within 10 mins, so to me it's no biggie, others - it may take longer).

ROM and MOD Pack links updated (again) :)

(I'm sure we'll see more system updates, but when one that is in the MOD Pack, I will usually always put out a ROM so that you can still use said Tweaks in the app.)

With 5.1 it's really a pain, I used to be able to just put out a Patch.zip that you could dirty flash, and it would remove the updated System/app from Data/app and move it into System/app - but with 5.1 the only way is to do a full clean wipe to get the app back into System/app.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
Cool thanks. What are you using to back up app data if you are. I have used titanium but it always seems to funkify my apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I don't use anything actually. I reinstall all the apps once I boot up the ROM directly from the Playstore. I am a lite user, I don't use many apps, no social media apps, etc. If I want to go to XDA or Facebook for ex. I just use the Browser.

The only thing I back up is my text messages which I can do from the app very quickly. :)

(Cleaned up the OP a little bit, trying to make it less confusing for you guys. To me it looks very straight forward, but that's because I wrote it, lol. If anyone has any suggestions to make it easier, please don't be afraid to speak up. Thanks.)

FIRST OFF, good ish [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]-- you did it again!

*I'm referring to the whole VoTE dialogue...just didn't want to quote the whole thing*

Although I have not had this issue, this is something that I have worried about since I first saw a post about it awhile back. I'm a little confused from what you guys are saying though, so I just want to make sure I have a clear understanding in case I ever experience this myself--

Would I be correct to say that the current THEORY is that it's caused somewhere on vzw's side? ...that essentially, it appears to be an issue where the provisioning on their servers becomes mismatched with that on the device?

Has anyone experienced this who has not activated a device without Advanced Calling (or any other device, I suppose) and then gone back to their m9?

Further, [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION], had RUU been available when you had this happen, do you think you would have been able to recover without a replacement?

P.S. *UNRELATED* (Apologies [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION]): [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] sorry I never got back to you guys on the Nexus S-OFF. Without going into too much detail, I have a lot of family crap going on right now and my sister and I haven't really spoken of late. *recall it's her tab. Hope you guys got that fig'd out though!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
I had the ruu since day one. Provisioning was not the issue. The phone was not setting up additional data flows like it should have. The problem was phone side and no ruu/wipe/factory reset would restore it. Trust me when I say this it was the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Antny6:
So, are you saying that yours had additional issues? ...or is it just possible that there could be more than one mutually exclusive issue that can cause this? *What's driving this line of questioning is that your recommended solution worked for the user a few posts back.

This whole thing just worries me and keeps me from trying different ROMs, doing a lot of the things I've done on other devices...you know? Is there any known thing that we can do to try and prevent this from happening?

***FOR ANYONE PASSING THROUGH WHO SEES THIS POST, THIS IS NOT A BUG RELATED TO THIS ROM! [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] WORK IS SOLID!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
All I am saying is this.

I worked with the best inside contacts I have at vzw. Like I said before no ruu would fix. No wipe would fix. Something got lost in a partition that couldn't be replaced.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Antny6:
Alright, let's just put it to bed with this:

With your extensive knowledge, do you think it's safe to assume that if we have S-Off'd, Rooted, Unlocked, and flashed a ROM and did NOT lose VoLTE, that we're unlikely to lose it when flashing other ROMs/Kernels?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:
I would agree with that. I lost volte when I switched to a non advanced Calli g phone while dottat had my m9. I didn't notice it was broken. I fixed it by disabling advanced calling on my Verizon ruuing back to stock and activating on the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
And that is the only solid information I can tell people... how to tell if it's permanent broken or hosed by using a different phone or something else.

On mine, going through those same steps did nothing to help. Even with folks from VZW on the other end helping. The replacement worked fine right off the bat. In fact, since volte was still on the account it was already activated and working.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:

I will be eagerly awaiting that as xposed still doesn't work on stock odex (i tried).
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Dstu10:

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Stagefright Patch

This will be included in the next releases of the ROMs (came in the new OTA from Verizon, but works on the DEV Edition ROM as well) - which is what the Screenshot is from.

I tested with this app before and was vulnerable, and after am not, however the other stagefright detector app in the playstore still says Vulnerable. So.. it is what is. Thanks Google... (We're almost there)

"Google has confirmed that the fix for the integer overflow vulnerability does not work as intended and assigned the CVE-2015-3864 identifier to the new issue. However, as of August 13, the company was still pushing out the updates containing the buggy patch."

Mr Mr Andy Bones first off thank you for the awesome work dude !!!!!!!!!!!! You rock like no body else I cant believe how awesome your roms have been like forever !!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to ask you have you ever used the app cm clean master ? Its an awesome app the only one I have ever seen with a 4.7 rating, but anyway I keep having it show supersu failed to authorize but supersu shows its granted permission. It always does this when I try to block apps from starting on their own. No matter what I use my apps can still keep starting on their own I have used the auto start manager in security, app opps and even clean master with always shows granting then goes to failed to grant root but supersu shows it is granted permission. I have tried both of the beta supersu's the 2.48 and the 2.49 and it does it with both.

I have had this going on for a long time and I"am pretty sure its nothing rom related but I wondered if you came across any supersu issues since I didnt find others having issues it could just be mine but I have used dottats ruu in the past and the issue is always going on, thought maybe you might be able to steer me in the right direction.

Thanks and appreciate the butter smooth roms they rock lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!
