As I can see you main OS is 1.10.166.7. Is your phone UK or Grrman? I believe the the 166 variant is for DE

In the first post you can find a combined ruu for your OS. I believe you can use system.img and boot.img from that zip

ok, i tested some HTC and VOD RUU's.

i successfully installed the

2PQ9IMG_HIA_AERO_UHL_M60_SENSE7GP_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.10.166.7_Radio_1.0.U00297.1@51007_30.05_F_release_454111_combined_signed image

.

Then I s-off my phone and changed the CID to the right HTC__102 (German). After that i tested to install the

2PQ9IMG_HIA_AERO_UHL_M60_SENSE7GP_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.7_Radio_1.0.U00297.1@51002.3_29.05_F_release_454007_combined_signed image

. It shows me "wrong CID". I checked the android-info file and there is no CID HTC__102.

Is there somewhere an HTC Europe image that is compatible with the CID HTC_102?
[HTC One A9] Ivanovic:
HTC__102 should have been on the list, dunno why it's not. But having on the bootloader the 1.10.166.7 OS makes me believe that your phone shipped with that firmware and not with the generic european

Ok, thanks for the infos! ;)

One last question... 1.10.401.7 is the very last HTC Europe Rom an 1.10.166.7 is older?
[HTC One A9] Ivanovic:
They are the same. 166 in the middle means it's for the Vodafone deutsch and swiss variants while 401 in the middle means it is for all non branded European models

Then I tried it in all flashing methods ...through abd.. fastboot itself... but nothing worked at all. I think the package is not signed ... I downloaded an official old rom (1.12. Somthing) ruu zip ..When flashing It shows " os version in android info missing or i" in fastboot .Nothing helping.. All ways are dead ends. If any one has better ideas ...That should be greatly appreciated.. NEED HELP PLEASE... S offing is difficult for me. Please suggest other methods please.

[HTC One A9] scotty2000:
If you have updated yet, the file maybe deleted during the update-process by the phone itselve, I think, but I´m not sure!

If not the file is in a folder on the internal sd-card, but I don´t know the path were to find it. You can find it using a file explorer with root access, but your phone also need root and then get it copied for example to you ext-sd-card.

You must search a file that starts with OTA....... with about 1 gb size.

If you could find the file and save it, it would be very nice if you could upload it (to google-drive, mega or androidfilehost etc.) to share it.

:good:

And version can be anything but not old.. i mean 1.5x.xxx.xx
[HTC One A9] alray:
Unless you have S-OFF and converted your phone to another version (CID and MID changed accordingly) you are limited to flash RUU made for your version only (x.xx.709.x versions only) and you can only flash the same or newer ruu version (can't downgrade) than what is already running on your phone. The latest x.xx.709.x version available in this collection is 1.27.709.15 and I'm almost sure that you are already running an higher version than that otherwise you wouldn't be asking for the 1.58.709.1 version.

Regarding that question: Can you provide the 1.58.709.1 ruu?

Short answer is no

Why? explanation at post #61 and #585 (where you'll actually find a link for 1.58.709.1 btw)

[HTC One A9] alray:
I think [MENTION=859894]scotty2000[/MENTION] already explained you everything you need to know.

Either you go S-OFF and change your MID/CID to use the USA unlocked Nougat RUU

or

Wait until there is a 2.xx.708.x RUU available somewhere that will fit your S-ON phone

or

wait for OTA updates

[HTC One A9] alray:
You need s-off to downgrade. Good news is that I'm currently uploading the 1.56.401.81 RUU (thanks to [MENTION=7867637]aries2747[/MENTION]) so you'll be able to simply flash the 1.56.401.81 RUU before taking the N update.. I'll keep you updated, it should be ready for download in 30 mins.

[HTC One A9] alray:
If your current version-main is higher than the ruu version you want to flash, you need s-off. Otherwise you don't (explained at post #2)

How to flash the RUU is also explained at post #2 and iirc, there is no mention of unpacking the RUU in the instructions :p

Ruu are encrypted files, you can't unpack them (and again you don't need to) using any regular tool like Winzip, Winrar, 7zip, etc... If you really want to unpack an RUU lets say for dev purpose or because you only want a specific image inside of it there is a way to do it but since it's not your goal today, i'll not go into details about this.

If you want to confirm that your file is not corrupted, compare the md5 value of your downloaded RUU with the reference md5 posted below the RUU you've downloaded or in your case from the same md5 value available when downloading the file from androidfilehost.com 8037ec31081ccda49ee937ac369386d9

My a9 sprint now on Nougat, how to downgrade to Marshmallows??? I flash RUU but it say error 132 :(

Thanks all
[HTC One A9] emad_hs:
1.65.708.2???
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
With S-ON (the default condition) it is not possible to flash earlier versions of the ROM than is on the phone. With S-OFF it is possible to install almost anything, including previous versions (so care must be taken). The usual way for us to get to S-OFF is to pay $25 for SunShine; unfortunately it does not yet work on Nougat. So for now you will have to wait and hope they find a way to crack Nougat. I suspect this is not a priority as anyone who wants S-OFF can get it before upgrading to Nougat. The other possibility is to use XTC 2 Clip ($100) to gain S-OFF - check with them to see if it works with Nougat (I suspect it does).

So a cautionary tale here: if you think you will ever want to go back to Marshmallow, S-OFF with SunShine before upgrading to Nougat.

Greg
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
It is. I have S-ON devices and as long as the RUU corresponds, it can be done. I have moved between 1.27 firmware and 1.5x forwards and backwards.

Again, as long as the firmware corresponds, can't go slapping US firmware on European devices, etc.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Thanks for the correction. I think I got confused with the changing definition of S-ON/OFF for different models.

Just reading the threads it looks like the change in encryption is a problem regarding the Nougat ROM. There is a firmware file in the OTA that deals with it - I wonder if there is a way to reverse that? Perhaps a particular partition needs to be flashed with the older firmware? There does seem to be something different happening with this upgrade.

Greg
[HTC One A9] Ultramanoid:
Yes, it doesn't help that hTC released Nougat, temporarily stopped the release, then resumed it. So apparently the first batch of Nougat firmwares had issues, and not everyone is on the same page now. Definitely a bumpy upgrade.
[HTC One A9] MGfusion:
You cannot use supercid. I don't know if this is the problem or not but you need cid BS_US001. Also look to see if the file is corrupted or not
[HTC One A9] nonamett:
Thanks. My device is S Off. How to downgrade to stock 6.0? My a9 is Sprint version.

[HTC One A9] alray:
Try with your CID set to BS__US001 Sorry just saw you other post, you already tried.

What if flashing with fastboot instead of the sdcard method, or using the .exe installer?

You can contribute to this collection by registering a paid account on ir-file.com, downloading the new ruu(s) to your computer and re-upload them on androidfilehost.com (or your favorite file sharing website) and share the link with us. I'm also OK to download and re-upload the files myself since my internet connection is fast enough to do it... if you guys are ready to pay for that account (as explained before, I don't have the A9 hence why I'm not going to invest my own $ in this collection).

Donation on xda are made via Paypal. Members accepting PayPal donations have a "donation" button below their forum avatar.

Btw, I don't know if there are many new RUUs for tha A9 on ir-file actually, so it might not worth to pay US 20$ for an account now if there is only 1-2 ruu to download...

[HTC One A9] The_scam:
For some reason I couldn't upgrade to nougat until I upgraded to 1.57.617.60, then ran the OTA through the actual system, it wouldn't work through recovery ?, once I had upgraded I could run the RUU.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
There seems to be a lot of confusion about getting to/from Nougat. I am no expert, but looking at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/one-a9/general/unlocked-developer-stock-ruu-2-18-617-1-t3540151 there are two ways to get there. The first is to RUU the 1.57.617.60 ROM, then take the 2.18.617.1 OTA, which seems very reliable. The second is to extract the firmware.zip from the 2.18.617.1 OTA, flash it, then flash the 2.18.617.1 RUU. The problem seems to be that HTC changed their encryption key, so it is necessary to first flash the new firmware.zip containing the new key before the RUU can be decrypted. This implies that to downgrade from Nougat it would be necessary to first flash the old encryption key before flashing the Marshmallow RUU.

Corrections welcomed...

What you can do is the commands from normal fastboot, not HTC.

-"fastboot OEM rebootRUU" (Reboots to HTC install mode, higher success rate)

-"fastboot flash zip (your RUU file)

If that does not work. Find an OTA file for your version number and matching CID, and extract the frimware.zip from it and flash that the same way.

You need to rename the zip to 2PQ9IMG.zip and use the zip for sd-card method to flash.

That should work.

Check the md5 on your RUU and post your "fastboot getvar all"
[HTC One A9] scotty2000:
Here is the link to the firmware.zip.

Can you upload this please, too?

For flashing RUU you first have to flash the firmware.zip to get RUU working because of different encryption key of nougat.

Maybe you can give the advice in the download section, too.

Sure I was about to do it, decrypted the RUU on my side before noticing that you already did. :eek: wasted time ;)

I'm not familiar with the A9 RUU so I have a question for you. After decrypting the RUU, my firmware folder have 1 more file than your firmware.zip: backup_android-info.txt. Is that file important, does it need to be removed before compressing everything into a firmware.zip?

Yep I've noticed the key change in Nougat since the included 2PQ9 key in nkk71/Captain's tool wasn't working, bruutveal'ed the key from hosd.img from 2.18.617.1 firmware and decrypted the RUU successfully. So yeah, Everyone need the 2.x firmware installed on their phones so the correct hosd image (and so the correct key) is there otherwise they'll get "Signature verification fail".

The Nougat firmware requirement was already mentioned at post #2, but will re-write it so it's clear for everyone

thanks
