[HTC One A9] CallmeTunde:
I tried to install xposed framework on my phone but it got stuck at the boot screen after installation. I copied the system image backup files into my SD card slot and booted it in recovery (TWRP). I've done everything the instruction says and i'm at the point where I've mounted the "system" folder as read-only. I go to the restore option but i don't see any files or folders to restore from. Please help... Thank you.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Did you copy my folder (2015-11-14--01-18-44_MRA58K_release-keys) into your TWRP backup directory?

Edit: if you don't have a TWRP backup directory, the easiest way to create one is to just run a backup of one of the small partitions (boot/recovery).
[HTC One A9] CallmeTunde:
It worked... You're the best!!!!
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Sweet. Glad to hear it.

Can you tell my wife that? haha
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
While trying to root my htc one a9 I accidently deleted the /system folder. Do you know if the one you uploaded will work on a Sprint htc a9
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
I'm not sure. Sorry.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Ok, maybe I'll just try it. I have nothing to lose at this point.

Thanks for the response.
[HTC One A9] crowsnestitsupport:
Thanks a a million!! Helped me out of a pinch with mine. Mine would just reboot as soon as any app got root permissions. Restoring your system backup fixed it!
[HTC One A9] nenebear:
Can you upload recovery_signed.img again Thank !
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Mine wasn't correct. [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] posted one in the root thread in the dev section last night that works.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
I was able to do a backup of system_image in twrp, but now when I try to recover, I get unable to mount /system. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
That's the message when you try to restore? Did you go into the mount menu and mount system as read-only (there's a check box underneath all the partitions)?
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Hello, somehow I've managed to delete my OS. I'm still unlocked and s-off but when I try to restore with your file it crashed. So I wiped everything and started over. Here's my issue now. I downloaded your file and extracted it to put onto an external sd. Once I did that I made a small backup in TRWP and moved the file to sd/TRWP but when I go to restore its blank with only the small back up showing. I can't put system to read only, it think its because I have no OS. I can click/unclick everything else just not system.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
You moved the backup folder under external_sd/TWRP/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/ ? That's where it has to be for TWRP to see it. And that shouldn't prevent you from being able to mount system read-only (unless you're getting an error on /system, in which case you should wipe/format it).
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Each time I hit a dead end, I wipe and format. I am getting an error saying unable to mount system. I sent some info over to [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] about my device and he said that HTC sent me an engineer firmware version. Does that make a difference at all?

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

I also appreciate your patience with me [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]. I normally don't have issues with stuff like this.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Can you upload a copy of your recovery log? And please confirm where you're putting the backup folder?
[HTC One A9] rahaar:
just for info , have de same device fatKris , only the difference I have twrp-2.8.7.0_CPTB-B8-hiae and s-on.... and rooted with jcase thread.....

and in the htc download mode I dn't have the last two options , check smar sd and factory reset...... hope you fix it...
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Sure, unfortunately they're going to have to be screenshots. Sorry.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Why screenshots?

That's not a recovery log. I'm not sure why you think it is. Either adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and upload here as a txt file, or use Advanced -> Copy Log to SD in TWRP and do the same. If you can post to the forum, you can upload a log.

And if you're going to post huge screenshots, use

tags, please (like I did in my quote).

EDIT: And I still don't see where you put the backup for TWRP. Where's that screenshot (remember, screenshot in TWRP is Power+Volume Down)?
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I'm sorry, I'm on the road right now and trying to do this at the same time. I apologize for the huge screenshots of useless stuff. I'm just being impatient about fixing this issue and need to slow down. I'll do a better job of getting all the correct info when I'm home from work later. I do understand what your saying about the recovery log. And I'll do that later when I have plenty of time not to make such an a** of myself.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
When I go to the mount menu, the system partition is not checked and cannot be checked. Even when I click on mount system as read-only it doesn't work. The TWRP console always shows that message "E: Unable to mount '/system'".

On the bootloader I also get a message "init fs_mgr_mount_all failed". At this point I am not sure what could have caused the phone to go into this state.

BTW, I have a sprint image backup if anyone needs one.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Just check the read only check box in the mount menu and then go to restore and select the system image backup. See if that works.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Recovery log please

EDIT: Also, try repairing /system in the Advanced Wipe menu.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Attached recovery log.

Trying to repair through advanced wipe menu nets me the same: E: Unable to mount '/system'

EDIT: I also tried to manually mount /system via the mount command and nothing. mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p61 system

Thanks.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Already tried that and it didn't work. Always the same message: E: Unable to mount '/system'
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Have you tried fastboot flashing the system image backup in Download mode?
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
I tried it and did not work. After rebooting, it takes me directly to the bootloader menu. Went to TWRP after this and stil lseeing the message "E: Unable to mount '/system'

Here is the console log of running fastboot. Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like that flash was perfectly successful. Did you also flash the boot.img backup (or the rooted boot.img), and then try to boot the device?
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Just tried it and still not able to boot to android. When I reboot I see the HTC logo and text in red "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action." Then it takes me to the bootloader.

[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
I'm out of ideas. Looks like you're going to have to wait for an RUU or for someone that took the OTA to provide a stock system backup.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Ok. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
I had a similar issue with my M9, but I can't remember what the issue was. If it comes to me, I'll let you know.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Wait a second...in re-reading your old posts, I think you have a sprint device. Is this true? My backup is for the US Unlocked version (BS_US001).
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Originally I mentioned about using your backup, but I never used it. I ended up being able to make a system backup from TWRP and that is what I have been using.

EDIT: If anyone needs an htc one a9 Sprint system backup, PM me.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
I think I found what my issue is.

I made a system image backup after I had already deleted the /system folder. I assumed that the system image I created was a stock image from factory that android had internally for these types of recovery cases. Something a bit similar to how windows os has a recovery partition. However linux/android doesn't have such mechanism. Therefore whatever recovery steps I took would just net me a bad system partition because the system image backup was corrupt to begin with.

Now I am waiting for a new a9 I just ordered so I can pull a system backup from that one to recover this one.

Thanks for all your help! I am looking forward to learning more and getting more involved in this community, I have really enjoyed these last few days messing with my new phone, even if I temporarily bricked it.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I've been trying that and nothing. But I'm showing that I have no OS on my device.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Trying what? I need screenshots of the backup folder and your recovery log. You have to restore the backup, or fastboot flash it, if you can't get system to mount.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
it's really hard to help you if you don't take the time and tell us exactly what's going on. Please chronicle exactly what's going on each step of the way, from initially entering recovery until when you run into problems. The brevity and vagueness of many of your posts leave me to have to guess as to what the actual issue is. Captain_Throwback has asked a few times for you to detail and verify the location of your TWRP backup folder. Is it on internal storage or external SD card (you can use the file manager in the advanced menu of TWRP to navigate to the backup folder)? Where exactly are you copying my backup folder? Did you unzip the backup folder on a computer first? Please post back when you have time to address all of these questions and can type out each step along the way and I'll be happy to help you get your phone back up and running. Also, just be patient, if you can enter recovery, your phone is likely fine...you're just missing something in the protocol that's been laid out here.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Well that would explain it! Thanks for posting what the issue was.
[HTC One A9] nenebear:
Please use hexeditor confirm system_image.emmc.win is not already been modified. The flash offical system_image.emmc.win can be solved "init fs_mgr_mount_all failed" this issue.

So we need someone to share offical system_image.emmc.win

[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I understand, and you guys have been a great help. I've been reading the thread while at work and DID have the issue of no OS. I wiped everything and dos a factory reset, after that I was finally able to install the file from the op. It took a few tries though, I don't know what changed to get me to be able to finally be allowed to click the system box in TWRP. So all files loaded, and I'm happy about that. Now, this is where I'm at: I have the files installed, but not the boot .img so that's my next step. I'm unlocked and s-off. I can't get pass the red text screen. I do apologize for all the vague explanations earlier, I was at work and driving. I am at home now though.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
How long are you waiting at the splash screen? Give it at least 5 minutes before giving up.

It wood be good to post questions about rooting in the root thread.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Flash the rooted boot.img from the root thread. I'm still confused, though, because it doesn't look like you restored the TWRP backup.

Also, you tried flashed an MD5 file. Not sure what that's about. Did you run these same commands this many times, or is the above just duplicated?

P.S. Please use

tags for posting Terminal output, and [hide] tags so they don't have to immediately be viewed on the page.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I will try that later and give you an update. I've never been this stuck on something like this so again, I apologize for the screenshots and the long texts. I don't know how to put it into a pastebin or anything like that. This is new to me. But I've always had HTC Ones and never had an issue with rooting until now. And since I can't RUU yet that's what is making this a headache I think.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Pastebin is easy. Go to pastebin.com, paste your text, submit, and it gives you a link, which you post here. But again, that isn't really necessary if you use

and [hide] tags in your posts. Saying you don't know how to do something without even trying or looking into it won't get you very far. A simple Google of "pastebin" would've gotten you easy results. I hope one of these solutions works for you. I believe this is the last bit of help I'm willing to offer.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Factory reset does nothing for you. All it does is wipe the data partition.

I suggest you just restore my backup files (both system image and boot, either through TWRP or fastboot) and leave well enough alone. Maybe someone will come up with an easier method to root than what jcase provided.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
This already exists.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] had a very easy root. My problem was after I was rooted and had supersu installed, I would load a root app like root explorer and it ask for permission from supersu, I would grant it, it would close and then the app would say I was not rooted. I sent all the info over to jcase who looked at it and told me that my firmware was an engineer build and thought it was weird. So that's how I got started on all this.
[HTC One A9] rahaar:
I don't know if worth, to make the backup with the version of twrp of the backup, B7 i think... sorry about my english...
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Yeah, I have both installed. They install perfect with no issues. I just can't get past the HTC boot screen. So, in the meantime it'll just sit in a drawer waiting to be used. It's my fault for jumping on the root the first day it was released. Oh well. You live and learn. Thank you for all your hard work and helping me.
[HTC One A9] jcase:
Change CID to match ATT Unit, flash ATT RUU.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
How would I go about doing that?
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
The same way as with previous HTC devices.
[HTC One A9] jcase:
adb reboot download

fastboot oem writecid CWS__001

then flash the ruu for ATT, we can change your cid back later once a proper ruu comes to light
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Oh, I didn't know it would be that easy. Thank you. I know you mentioned it before but I figured there would be some work behind it.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

As soon as I fastboot oem I get (bootloader) fail: [writecid] Invalid cid. Am I missing something? Thanks.
[HTC One A9] jcase:
screen shot
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I sent you a pm, I hope that's okay. I don't know if I'm getting off topic.
[HTC One A9] jcase:
CWS__001 and CWS_001 are not the same

its 8 char
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Could you tell me where I can get that att download you posted again? And am supposed to rename it to cws? Sorry I know this is supposed to be more simple than I'm making it. Thanks.
[HTC One A9] jcase:
Its in one of the a09 forums, there is a therad about A9 ruus, sorry but busy cooking for thanksgiving
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
I understand. Thank you.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
Files in OP have been updated with newest files from recent update.

[MENTION=5096261]FatKris[/MENTION], I extracted a zip from the RUU.exe and placed it in the OP as well. Instructions for flashing are included.
[HTC One A9] FatKris:
Thanks! I already updated and was still having the SuperSU issue. I ended up finding the beta SuperSU 2.52 and now everything is perfect. Thanks to everybody who had the patience to help me out.
[HTC One A9] entrpn:
Wanted to give an update on my situation. Ended up getting a new a9 and using twrp to make a system_image backup. Using that system image backup I turned on the bad a9 in download mode and ran:

fastboot flash system system_image_created_from_twrp

After 5 minutes or so of fastboot downloading and flashing the partitions I can finally boot into android.
[HTC One A9] samuelherra:
a9 bricked

hey everyone im kinda new in this and i do aplogize for my english is not that good but im really desesperated cause i need my cell phone and i got no idea what to do.

the thing is that i have an a9 bootloader unlocked s-on and for stupid reasons a deleted my so (great right?) i am able to get into recovery stock and twrp as well, you guys think if a restore this post back up, maight it work?'

thanks in adcance
[HTC One A9] PenguinPaul:
I have a Sprint phone that I have tried to turn into a US unlocked 2PQ912000 using the OP in this thread. The result is frequent reboots, no radio and no IMEI or baseband showing in OS (but set correctly when inspected with 'getvar'). I have tried all sorts of tricks, but to no avail.

I'm thinking that the system is corrupted: and, like yours, only recoverable with an untouched system image.

I wonder if you would be able to upload the system_image backup you made from your new A9?

It would be great if you would do this - then I might be able to get going again!
[HTC One A9] The_scam:
Set your mid and CID back then flash the sprint ruu, set back AND BOOT. then you can flash TWRP and use CyanogenMod or mokee. If problem persists try "fastboot OEM writeimei <original imei>" you can find it in original boxing or on back of phone if the carrier wanted it there
[HTC One A9] sebsra:
Thank, Thanks, Thanks

It is still downloading, but I think it will work (i will let you know). This was exacly what I was looking for:):laugh::good::highfive:
[HTC One A9] sebsra:
It failed
[HTC One A9] kuttihs:
the folder is empty. I installed a rom for 7.0 and later install open.gapp 7.0 on my htc ATT A9. after rebooting my phone is always returning to the bootloader how can i fix this
[HTC One A9] insigniared:
Hi, I do need that sprint image backup please, can you share/upload somewhere for me? Or someone please tell me where can I find a image backup for the Sprint A9 version 2PQ9300.

Thank you a lot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bethas321:
I do apologize for creating a new post for an older phone. A few months ago I purchased my phone used. I rooted it and installed SS 3.75 with no problem. Tried a few roms and settled on a KitKat rom from cyanogenmod, specifically cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2. It was the best for me for the camera working and for battery life. Using the cm updater I tried a couple of the newer releases, but the camera wouldn't work for any of them, but reflashing Slot 1 to 4.4.2, the camera would work without fail.

The problem started when I decided to flash it to the stock slot. It flashed with no issues, however the camera would always force close on start. I reactivated Slot 1 which has the same rom on it and the camera force closed there as well. Using the Droid Razr Utility, flashed the phone back to stock and rooted it again. After installing the rom back on slot 1, the camera still isn't working. It does, however, work on stock.

I'd wiped dalvik/cache several times since the camera quit working on the custom rom side, but other than that I'm at a loss. Even though the camera does work on the stock side, is it possible it could be a hardware problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sd_shadow:
camera should work on every Rom and every slot

which stock system version?

could try flashing stock with RSD Lite.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Have you tried some different camera app?

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bethas321:
The stock version is JB 4.1.2 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US.

The fact that the camera only worked with one custom rom and stock is why I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

Thanks for taking your time to help me with this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bethas321:
Hi welder73, yes I did try some other apps. I kept getting the message that the apps could not connect to the camera for all except Google Camera. That one would open take a couple of pictures and then fc everytime I used it. If I tried to open it again I would get the same message as the other camera apps. The only way to get Google Camera to work again would be to restart the phone. The camera cyanogenmod camera app would still fc everytime I opened.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Hmmmm,strange but since your camera works with stock rom it can't be hardware issue.

Try Snap Camera,I use it for years :)

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bethas321:
Thank you both sd_shadow and welder73 for trying to help. A couple of days ago I screwed something up and couldn't get stock to boot, so I reflashed the stock image again and set up cm 11 on slot 1 again. For whatever reason the camera is now working on slot 1. I don't know why it's working now, but it is. Again thank you both so much.
