M9 Telus, no IMEI, with S-off

I'm feeling inept here and at a complete and utter loss. :confused:Where to turn?!! :silly: My M9 gets MM update thru Telus last week. Just like my M7 before it, I unlock bootloader-success, I root and install TWRP-success. This time around I go all the way so I can get everything out of this phone so I pay for and successfully gain S-Off. Wanting to run the latest Viper ROM (4.2.1), I proceed to do a complete (cache/dalvik cache/data/system) wipe before I do a Telus MM backup....overlooked it, I mucked up, I'll own that one! Upon me rebooting thru TWRP a warning comes saying "No OS present". Scrambling I download Viper 4.2.1 to my pc and then install the .zip thru TWRP and then restart. A few things happen here. First Viper ends up being exceptionally buggy,...it doesn't fully load, Google apps won't work, sporadic rebooting etc. Second my IMEI number in gone, *#06# shows blank but my phone info shows otherwise. Regardless I can't make calls and the fantastic, a** kickin' Viper Rom is rendered damn near useless. I've been reading and digging for a couple days straight now and some really helpful, patient people have gone on to tell me not to really sweat it since I'm s-off my IMEI concerns are moot and I can do anything I want as far as roms go. I feel without any clear concise direction I am now in over my head as far as what to do next. Is it just as easy to get a Developer Unlocked edition as opposed to tracking down the Telus original? A lot of those same, helpful people were kind of rattling off how to fix my phone but to them I think it was commonplace but for me it's quite a steep learning curve. I've got a powerful phone here at the ready but what should I do to get it running? I think a Developer Edition would be a more pure Android experience without the traditional bloat from phone carriers. Should I/Can i get the Telus back or a WWE Developer Edition? Both will get me back to MM, I assume? I'd make a backup for sure this time in TWRP and then probably experiment with the Viper ROM. Lastly, is there any crisis with the IMEI not showing up? How do I get back to a full working phone again? I need some simplified, measured direction here. I am eternally grateful for all who may have wisdom for me on this one. Now proudly running my fifth HTC device but this M9 one has got me completely frustrated.

Verizon's HTC One M9 has also received approval as well; it will begin rolling out on the same day.

Yay
[One (M9) General] jmitr:
If you know how to run an RUU, then convert to a developer edition.

If a Telus RUU is available, try that first.

I know that feel man, I have an unlocked asia m9 and I just dont get why won't the update come to us before carriers. Like wtf, im getting tired of your ****, HTC.
[One (M9) General] clsA:
Why not just convert to Developer Edition like everyone else. We've had MM since late December.
[One (M9) General] 12021656627z:
i'm a total newbie when it comes to flashing ROMs/RUUs, and I'll probably screw up at some point if I do them, and I'd rather wait patiently for the official update for my phone. That being said, I don't understand what's taking them so long to pull the update out . Isn't the asia unlocked version mostly the same as the international unlocked version? at least, isn't it easier to release the updates to asia unlocked phones as compared to locked ones?:confused:
[One (M9) General] clsA:
Just use my guide in my signature. Many have done it without any problems
[One (M9) General] ratman6161:
Based on my admittedly limited experience with it so far, I'd say MM is not worth getting too excited over unless you are a compulsive updater. I'm using a Galaxy Note 5 myself (still on 5.1.1) but I updated my my Wife's One M( (Verizon) from the Verizon OTA over the weekend. I didn't tell her I was going to do it...I just went ahead and updated it for her so she wouldn't have to mess with it herself when I wasn't there.

Just out of curiosity, I did not tell her her phone had been updated. And want to guess what happened? Nothing. she did not even notice. I only had a quick look to make sure it was still working properly, but I didn't notice either and actually had to go to "About Phone" and check the Android version it said it was on. Granted I'm not a regular user of the phone so I might not notice things immediately...but you get the idea. I guess we will find out about things like battery life, etc over the coming days.
[One (M9) General] clsA:
Their is a nice list of the new features here >> http://www.androidstandard.com/android-m-for-htc-one-m9-features-and-release-date/

the most notable is better battery life and better memory management. The phone is very smooth on MM.

Lollipop had a lot of bugs all they up to/including the last version.
[One (M9) General] Paolo Gilberto:
hey guys, I updated my M9 to the Marshmallow 6.0 - Vodafone Europe and out of curiosity I wanted to check the benchmark score with Antutu v 6.0.1

[One (M9) General] 12021656627z:
Not really sure, how do i check if i have it?
[One (M9) General] foxbat121:
Make a voice call and see if your data connection drop out of LTE to HSPA or other non-LTE mode. With VoLTE, your phone should stay on LTE. However, this feature is highly carrier dependent. Your carrier has to support this feature and phone firmware has to support it as well. For example, my AT&T version of M9 supports VoLTE on 5.1 ROMs already. You have an option to enable or disable such support in settings.

Thanks for the detailed answer, My device is HK model (708) not indian, so how can I install indian RUU without having done S-OFF before ? Is there something I didn't understand ?

Also, I didn't flash firmware.zip, instead, I unzipped it myself, and flashsed only the file called "recover_verified.img" inside onto the recovery partition. Shouldn't that be enough ?

Which means I'll think twice before buying an AT&T phone again!

According to HTC, ATT update will be end of April at the earliest.

If you want fastest update, buy a Nexus phone.
[One (M9) General] jmitr:
Ask Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners how that worked out for them.

More accurately:

Want the fastest updates? Purchase a Nexus device directly from Google.

Want fast updates? Purchased unlocked (or Dev) devices directly from HTC.

hey guys so my m9 is supercid and s-off is that the reason why im not getting the ota updates!? ::confused:
[One (M9) General] MotasemBT:
hello i was searching google for this answer and i decided to email HTC about this , and this is the replay ...

---------

Dear motasem badi twait,

Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to you.

kindly note that HTC has not yet released Marshmallow update to HTC One M9+.

In the meantime, we have not yet received confirmed information regarding the update of this model to Android 6.0.

In general, once any new update is released for your phone, it will be delivered to your phone through an over-the-air (OTA) process and you should receive a notification indicating the update is available download.

However, you can then check for it manually by connecting your phone to a Wifi network and check from: settings>about> software updates> check now.

Just flash a RUU?

Skickat från min HTC One M9 via Tapatalk
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
im going to do it later but just wanted to know if s-off and supercid will stop the ota updates :silly:
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
S-OFF doesn't have any influence but the SCID does. You better use the CID that corresponds to the firmware of your phone.
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
idk whats the cid of my phone i bought it s-offed and SCIDed :/ but i thought when u r s-off u can flash any ruu! without matching the cid and the mid the ruu will flash without errors !:eek:
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
You can flash any RUU with S-OFF but the MID and the CID still have to match (just use "fastboot oem writecid <enter new CID here>" and/or "fastboot oem writemid <enter MID here>"). The difference to S-ON is that you wouldn't be able to use those commands without S-OFF. On older devices the SCID had the side effect that the MID didn't have to match but HTC changed the way the SCID works. Besides you aren't able to install OTAs with the SCID on the M9.

Although your phone has the SCID it still has a firmware version. Look at the SKU (the three numbers behind the second dot) and you can find out the original CID with the help of one of the SKU and CID lists that can be found on the internet. (There's a link to sneakyghost's list in the google sheet I linked in my signature.)
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
oh i see! i got it now the three number i see in the SKU are 708 so if i changed the CID and the MID back to the original am i going to reciave OTSs again ? even if i am s-off? becouse right now i still on android 5.0.2 and whenever i check for updates nohing shows up :(
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
You're not the first person I meet on xda who has this problem. You bought the phone from someone who imported it from the US, right? It was originally an US device but the seller converted it for you, am I correct? :p The thing is that the conversion is incomplete on that's the reason why you don't receive OTAs. Your SKU has to match your CID and your MID (and/or vice versa).

You should check whether you bought a GSM or a CDMA device. The latter might never work correctly with GSM carriers (708 is a GSM SKU). Besides the device can get bricked if someone flashes a GSM firmware on a CDMA M9 and/or vice versa. Simply use fastboot getvar all. The MIDs 0PJA10000, 0PJA11000, 0PJA12000 and 0PJA13000 are GSM whereas 0PJA20000 and 0PJA30000 are CDMA.

SKU 708 belongs to HTC Asia (Hongkong) the corresponding IDs are 0PJA10000 (MID - the first symbol is a zero not an "O") and HTC__622 (CID - those are two "_" between HTC and the 622). Afterwards you should flash this RUU just to make sure that everything is now installed correctly on your phone. Instructions can be found in my signature. Be aware that everything on your phone will get wiped so back up your SMS, whatsapp messages, contacts, pictures and/or every other file you don't want to lose. Afterwards you should be able to receive and install OTAs, again.
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
sorry for late reply :p and yes bought it from someone but not sure from where he got it :confused: anyway i did what u said and found my MID is 0PJA12000 and CID 11111111 (supercid) so according to the MID my m9 is an GSM version so now all i have to do is to flash the RUU in the link u gave me. but i dont have an sdcard so i think flashing the RUU. exe found in your signature is alright? and thank you so much for helping me buddy :laugh::good::o

Edit: there is no RUU. exe that match my device in your signature! :c
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
No, as written before you need to change your MID and your CID first before you're able to flash the linked RUU. I already posted the commands that you need for achieving that goal.

0PJA12000 is the T-Mobile US variant of the M9. Unless you want to use the corresponding firmware (RUUs for US firmwares are provided by HTC on their US website) you need to change the MID. Nevertheless, even if you stayed on that MID you would still need to change your CID.

Besides I never said that I own a RUU.exe for your phone. :p You can try to flash the RUU via fastboot but I won't give support for that method since it can be a big hassle if people don't use the correct drivers/USB ports/fastboot Version/windows version/and so on. Either you look for sneakyghosts firmware thread (only look for the commands not the files - you can flash RUUs the same way as his packs get flashed) or you buy an SD card (8 GB are sufficient).
[One (M9) General] xfoneguy:
Fortunately I didn't have to wait after all - with the directions from the appropriate thread here, I converted my AT&T to a Developers Edition and took some 4 or 5 OTA's onboard. Now I'm minus all that useless AT&T "Bloatware" and am enjoying Android Marshmallow to boot. Thanks to all of you who have shared your knowledge here. It turned out to be a far-less daunting task than I had feared.
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
I'm so confused ? so what I understand is I need to change my CID to HTC__622 and the MID to 0PJA10000 then flash the Ruu you gave me, is that correct!? XD [emoji55]I'm such a noob xD otherwise I think I'll just unlock the bootloader and root my m9 then install a custom rom xD
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Correct. Or you change the CID to the T-Mobile US one (you will have to look it up in that case) and flash the T-Mobile US RUU HTC provides on its US website. It actually depends on the firmware you want to use from now on. (The RUU I linked is unbranded, btw.)
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
Oh I got it now :D thanks for helping me buddy I really appreciate it!

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

I have one more question[emoji14]if you don't mind, ?I was thinking if I changed the CID to HTC__622 and MID to 0PJA10000 should that be enough to receive Otas again without flashing the linked RUU?
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Theoretically yes, but neither you nor I know whether the person you got that phone from flashed the RUU correctly so you should reflash it to be completely sure that none of the partitions of your phone got corrupted.
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
I'll try it if it didn't work I'll just flash the Ruu thanks ?
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
I changed the CID and MID and it worked fine and now i am able to receive ota :D
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Being able to receive OTAs doesn't mean the same as being able to install them on the M9... That's why I suggested flashing the RUU.
[One (M9) General] driodbouhafs:
oh well the Installation aborted :p damn it lol this is what i got E:Error in @/cache/recovery/block.map (status 7) xDi thnik i'll just flash the Ruu :silly:

Guys need some help. I am from India. Got my m9 yesterday. Not new, used one. Now the problem is, that it's still running lollipop. OTA 6 is not showing.

I checked the CID, and it's t-mob010

Can somebody help me explaining that why am I not getting the marshmallow OTA. and also how do I get it.
[One (M9) General] foxbat121:
Most US carriers now restrict OTA updates to phones with the active carrier SIM and on the carrier network. I'm sure T-Mobile is the same. That means you have to be in US with an active T-mo sim to see the OTA update.

However, you can download the ROM here http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#tmobile and update manually. The downside is that it will wipe all your phone data/factory reset your phone.
[One (M9) General] Rookie-techy:
A stupid question here. How do I know that my CID has not been changed before? I mean how will I be sure that I have to install the t mobile ROM? And not some other. Since there's a chance of damaging my phone if the RUU isn't correct.

Guys my update is on hold. And you know how the lollipop works on our phone. I would really appreciate if somebody could help me in this regard.
[One (M9) General] Eluder79:
I'm not an expert here, but if the phone is still S-On then I don't believe the cid could have been changed. Check that first and you can gauge things from there.

[One (M9) General] MeltdownSpectre:
I thought it wasn't possible to convert Sprint devices to Dev variants because of different radio hardware and partition sizes.

I was under the impression that only GSM devices could be converted?

Also, the hardware on the Sprint M9 is different and editing QPST made no difference to LTE bands, as far as I remember.
[One (M9) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Okay that could be the problem too. I've heard some us variants could convert. But wasn't sure which it was.
[One (M9) General] MeltdownSpectre:
Sprint and Verizon are 'un-convertable' because their radio hardware and partition sizes are completely different.

I tried flashing a Dev Edition RUU on my Sprint M8 and it flashed, but it refused to boot.

Then I went back to the Sprint ROM and tried editing NV values with QPST to enable LTE bands that I needed, but then read that LTE bands are locked on Sprint devices and can't be modified at all.

So, I made sure that the M9 that I'd buy would be GSM, and it is. :)
[One (M9) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yep, so never buy a sprint/verizon device xD either ATT or directly unlocked/GSM
[One (M9) General] Sumit Khuha:
On page 13 of this thread, I followed the steps of changing cid and mid, I changed both, then downloaded ruu.exe of lollipop stock rom and run the ruu, then it said successfully updated, then I don't the setup and saw it does not recognise sim card, then I downloaded ruu.exe of marshmallow stock ROM. And run that, it also got successfully updated, but in marshmallow also it does not recognise sim card. I have HTC 0pja2(written on the back side of phone), but I changed my mid and cid and downloaded both lollipop and marshmallow ruu.exe of developer/unlocked mode!!
