I tried that over and over again last night. I made sure to follow every step exact. I would get to the install part, it would start to install and then crash.

I appreciate your help, I'll just keep messing around with things and see what ends up working.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Install part? It's a TWRP backup. You restore it in TWRP - you don't install anything. I think that's your solution, but you should post over there with your questions as it's off-topic for this thread at this point.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Okay. Thanks again.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Bro. If you can't boot and have downloaded my backup file, that will get you going again. Please read the whole thread that [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] linked you to because I bet a lot of the questions you have are covered there. If you still need help, post in that thread, and I'll be glad to help you. Everyone here is happy to help, but you (not specifically you, I'm talking about users in general) really need to read and search because 8/10 the answer is already available.

Also, as CT said, this is off topic for this ROOT thread.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
FYI - I opened a thread for TWRP.
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
Hello,

short question: In developer options there is a point "OEM unlock". Must this enable or disable for root? Or must this option only enable to unlock a locked Bootloader?

Thanks
[HTC One A9] joshzdad2013:
I only used it to u lock bootloader, then just left it off. it didn't make a difference for me. I tried it on and off.
[HTC One A9] pfefferkuchen:
Does this root tutorial also run with the european / german unlocked version?

With which files?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
I'm on 1.12.617.6 now and boot-1.12.617.6-SuperSU.img still doesn't give me root. It doesn't force encrypt /data so that's good.

The a9-unlocked-639737.5.img A9-root still works.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Are you getting the "There is no SU binary error" because that's where I'm at again. I updated and still get no root access. Someone help me!!
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
First of all you have to post your Software information (settings/Info/Software-Informations/more)
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Hm, that's odd. Maybe I missed something. I'll look at it later.
[HTC One A9] rahaar:
Hi, NuShrike I'm completly nob and I have questions... I'm root on the device and confirmed with root checker(google play)... my question is, if I load the ruu update version (1.12.617.6) on my device (1.11.617.5 - rooted) I'll need to do all the proccess to being root again? from which step?? thanks...
[HTC One A9] FatKris:

Finally got root!!!! I just updated SuperSU to 2.52 and it works perfectly. Finally I get to enjoy my HTC again!!!
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
The RUU completely wipes your device including internal-storage. You'll get the "no su binary" as [MENTION=5096261]FatKris[/MENTION] was getting if you don't recopy su.img to /data again and install the specific SuperSU posted in the OP.

Backup your sms/pictures/etc, RUU flash, and then reroot from scratch, don't skip the factory-reset instructions to get /data unencrypted. Finally, restore your device from backups.

TRWP backup/restore of /data worked weirdly for me as HTC Lock stopped showing icons other app icons, Waze wouldn't show the map, etc. So I just factory-reset again and restore settings/apps individually.

After RUU update, I'm weirdly also having touch-location issues with two games (Radiant and Radiant Defence) that I've never had before where the game isn't registering touches properly on the "right-side". Turning on touch-debugging shows it's going in correctly.
[HTC One A9] papi92:
As a heads up you don't need to do most of the steps. After you flash jcases boot.img just flash the beta SuperSU and you can have system root.
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
I have root, and S-On.

But I still have problems to format the external SD card as the internal memory.

Has anyone of you the external SD card formatted as internal memory, So you can move Apps to the external SD card?

Can someone please tell me how I can make backups of the stock boot and recovery images? I soft bricked one A9 already and I have another with me and I tried booting into twrp to make the backups but the device never goes into twrp. I'm using this command:

fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img

Thanks.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Fastboot boot doesn't work. You have to flash TWRP. The FAQ in the TWRP thread has more info.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Thanks I ended up just installing twrp recovery but I still do not have root. After installing su.img in /data and then the apk I see a dialog "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem".

Any ideas? thanks.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Did you install one of the rooted boot.img from the OP?
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Yes I did. I also went to the playstore to update the su application and no root.

It is definitely finding the su binary because when I type su from console I see a toast that the console has been granted su but the console window gets stuck and I have to get out of adb to keep using it. Also when I go to the SU apk main activity it pops up a dialog saying I don't have su permissions.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
You don't want the SuperSU app from the Play Store. You need the 2.56 version for systemless root. That's probably your issue.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Still getting the dialog "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". The behavior is same as I described above.

I downloaded from this link and installed using twrp:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2

Thanks.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Just install the APK from the zip, not the zip in TWRP.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
I tried that first and it didn't work so I installed through twrp but also didn't work.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Sorry, don't know what to tell you.
[HTC One A9] eelpout:

So, tried using the US Unlocked boot.img, did that. But that seems to be for 639737.5 and not .6 for the US Unlocked. Tried to install/flash recovery gives a must be S-Off error message, then it won't boot, stuck at logo/unlocked warning white screen.

So had to take the backup boot.img file and flash it to get it to boot again into the OS and back to the stock boot.img.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Ok, I would recommend you post this person's 639737.6 boot.img version with SU. It worked with my phone now, and I was able to then install TWRP and wipe data and get root.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63944599&postcount=254

I downloaded the SU boot image, second link, but grabbed both for fun. And flashing TWRP worked fine after that. But, still not able to push SU.img to the /data partition. Can't do it in TWRP, I downloaded the one off of TWRP's website.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
There's no A9 build on the TeamWin website. Are you talking about my TWRP thread?
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Right, I pulled the twrp from the thread.

Issue is, after wiping phone, I'm still unable to get the su.img pushed to /data. Not sure if I'm supposed to mount, or do ADB sideload...instructions in the first post and around the thread are kind of all over the place or missing information that is important, like my post above about putting the .6 img zip file in the original TS post, because the one that is there won't work since my phone is showing a .6 for the unlocked, and not .5 posted version.

Thanks
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
When you say "wipe," you mean "Format Data", correct? (they aren't the same thing)
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
My steps to Root:

1) Unlocked phone via HTCDev

2) Downloaded and had to use the 639737.6 boot.img version with SU posted in this thread. It worked with my phone now.

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=254

3) Then install the TWRP per the link to that version in the original post.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (A9)/Recovery/TWRP

4) Format Data after booting to TWRP recovery.

5) Reboot recovery immediately so that disables encryption.

6) Download and copy the SU Beta Version from link in first post, then Beta link in SU thread. Flash that via TWRP/Install the SU Beta via TWRP.

http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

7) Reboot phone now. Go through setup, Enable Dev/USB debug and usual options. SU APK should already be installed from the beta file. Test to ensure it is working.

8) Launched SU and made my usual changes. Tested other apps. Like Sunshine, and S-Off now. Phone rooted and other apps that need root work fine.

Also, might want to install Busybox, many ROM/Apps needs that, download that from the Play store.

[HTC One A9] rashad1:
Did you ever figure out how to format the external sd as internal storage?
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Rooting should be easier now, since there's a new flashable zip of SuperSU (2.61) that automatically patches and roots the boot.img.

So you just have to 1) unlock, 2) flash TWRP, 3) Format Data, 4) reboot recovery and 5) flash the zip. Reboot and you're rooted!

P.S. I'm not providing a link to it - search on the site works perfectly fine ;)
[HTC One A9] Haffoc:
Tried this method after re-flashing stock boot.img and, for me, the phone fails to detect any SD-cards at all.

EDIT: Just noticed that you've already reported it this in the SuperSU beta feedback thread.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, I noted that issue in the SuperSU and TWRP threads. It's an easy fix, but in the meantime you'll need to go back to the boot.img you were using previously.
[HTC One A9] Haffoc:
Yeah, I was reading through the Supersu beta thread when you posted your reply, probably should have checked there first. :)

For now, I've done just that and restored Jcase's altered boot.
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
No, I don't.

I read in another forum that other users have the same problem with rooted devices. They say after going back to stock there is no problem to format the ext. as int. Storage.
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Will be getting my Sprint A9 here sometime today. Looking to root and reading through these threads to try and get a handle on things. I see its just these "steps1) unlock, 2) flash TWRP, 3) Format Data, 4) reboot recovery and 5) flash the zip" ? But the SuperSU zip breaks not finding the SD card? This correct? Just making sure if I need to hold off til that's fixed? Thanks
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
You can either wait until it's fixed and SuperSU 2.62 comes out, or use a different root method. The TWRP thread has an FAQ with all the info you need.
[HTC One A9] mrwicked:
Thanks Captain. Will read up on that now.
[HTC One A9] djmouse:
man,i finally figured out how to send fast boot commands had to use ./ infront of them.Anywho i have the att variant,unlocked it,fast boot flashed the att.zip image,went to my stock recovery factory reset,i let it boot the htc splash screen with the red words saying not to share this blah blah and everything booted fine,no root i never pushed su.Then i went back fast boot flashed twrp and the phone would only boot to twrp.Fast boot flashed att.img again fine.Then i saw the new supersu 2.61 flashed that now,no matter what i do i can't get passed the second splash screen where it says HTC ONE,i tried the ruu gave me an error,i tried it in adb ,on my external card with stock recovery and twrp.any help would be greatly appreciated Ill be searching and trying things.

Im Back up,i used the signed RUU renamed it accordingly ,put it on the root of my external card booted to download mode and it installed.Phone is still unlocked system says modified I'm guessing because its unlocked?Another great learning experience.

try, after backing up your boot, boot.img from first page. for me they worked all. if not you can reflash your backup.
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
Yes, that img from first post (a9-ee-635503.7.zip) works on my A9 and I have root (but S-On).

I'm looking for stock boot.img because I have no backup
[HTC One A9] JochenP:
ah, okay. Thats not quite easy. If you have root then you can set S-OFF and flash any RUU

That eliminates also a "frozen boot" (like djmouse)
[HTC One A9] Fischfuss:
Yeah, but how to get S-OFF?!? :confused:

[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
If you flashed an RUU you already have stock recovery.

And the instructions to lock the device are in the same place as the ones to unlock it, on the HTCDev website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/ (after signing in, look at step 11)
[HTC One A9] Haffoc:
You still require the stock boot?

I can either upload it or you can download the RUU for 1.10.111.7 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347853523 and extract boot_signed.img from there.
[HTC One A9] rashad1:
I too wiped system now I'm getting bootloops... Can you help me out?
[HTC One A9] Haffoc:
Supersu 2.62 beta has been released fixing the SD-card issue, so now you can just 1) unlock, 2) flash TWRP, 3) Format Data, 4) reboot recovery and 5) flash the zip as per Captain's post.

Just for clarity, the SD-card fix isn't the internal format issue, pre-2.62 stopped the A9 from mounting SD-cards.
[HTC One A9] djmouse:
Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64231872 dl your RUU make sure is a signed RUU,read the instructions how to flash.I had to rename pull my SD card out of my phone put it in my laptop card reader to transfer to the root of the SD card.

[HTC One A9] jmanley69:
I don't know anything about the full disk encryption with Marshmallow, so please entertain one more question (I'm lazy and don't want to read a bunch of stuff right now)... If I disable the lock screen and reboot, will that decrypt my device? thereby preventing the need for a factory reset? Or is the encryption actually baked into the existing OS and I only see the "enter code to decrypt" when I have a lock code set? but the device is automatically encrypted and decrypted (invisibly if I don't have a lock code) regardless?

I am about to purchase the One A9 from AT&T. I plan to follow your root instructions and download the AT&T ROM you provided.

I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan and wondered if there is a .APK file replacement for the mobile hotspot I could use for your ROM after I flash it?

[HTC One A9] Asylum1621:
Could you post your boot.img for the US unlocked variant? Then he can create an FDE disabled boot.img from that. I am not interested in root, just in getting rid of FDE for some performance testing. If you have problems pulling the boot.img I can pull mine, but it says you're a 'senior member' so I think you got this.

Until which time [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] can build an "official" one, here's the TWRP I just built with working touch. Just don't disable MTP or you'll have to reboot recovery to get USB connection back (still working on that).

Haffoc -

Just saw your post about SuperSU 2.62 beta fixing sdcard issues. As I already am rooted & s-off plus obviously have TWRP installed, all I should have to do is flash 2.62 (SuperSU-v2.62-20151210170034.zip) via TWRP then reboot, right?

Thanks!
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
As long as you've already removed encryption, yes.

Use the search . . . or at least read the FAQ in my TWRP thread.
[HTC One A9] bzowk:
Thanks - I actually changed my post after typing that as I agree one should first search - unfortunatly, I get excited and anxious.

Anyways, I found and downloaded SuperSU-v2.62-20151210170034.zip, copied it to my A9, and flashed via TWRP. After a reboot, everything seemed to come back up fine (unlike s-off where I had to wiper afterwards). I verified that I still had root, then went to try to reformat my card again. I formatted it as internal, but still got the message that it was slow and it resulted in a Corrupted status once complete.

I know the card is good as it's the third brand new one I've tried. The first two were 32gb Samsung EVOs and the one I just tried is a SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb UHS-1.

This was the issue that 2.62 was to resolve, correct? Did I possibly get the wrong build or can you at least hint if I'm doing something incorrectly? Thanks!
