[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptik86:
The RUU ran to the end without error . The idea with the MID sounds ineressant , have already read how to change them . But if I have understood correctly you have to ROOT/ superuser rights? And the phone is in debug mode?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, you need to have s-off (which you do), root and in debug mode (as you will be using adb to issue the commands) to change MID.

But this is to run a

different

CID/MIDs RUU (different from your present CID, MID). Is that what you are talking about doing?

Note that changing the MID may brick the device, if you screw it up. So proceed with extreme caution, and follow instructions carefully (and only instructions for the M8). And you should note the existing MID, in case you need to change it back.

Also, flashing another CIDs RUU may change the network band support on the phone, as it flashes a different radio baseband.

What are you thinking of doing, exactly?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptik86:
so i'm now [MENTION=408485]work[/MENTION] i think i try it tomorow.

In first i will check my MID, and try to find out whats maybe wrong with it - or not.

i did CID change 2 or three times to super CID and to google CID and back to HTC__102 thats not a prob for me.

But in first i CHECK my MID and post it here, maybe someone know whats the Problem with the phone and the ROM's

i'm just wondering that Cyagenmod 13_nightly works without the 2nd boot problem.

I'm going crazy, thats my 2nd m8.

with my first M8 (main phone) i tryed nearly all custom roms, and now I'm on GPE 6.0. without any problems.

hope you can understand what i'm trying to say :)

greetings

kryptik
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I think you are making up problems that don't exist (MID). Or at least thinking of "solutions" with no basis.

If the MID was wrong, the RUU would have failed (same as if the CID was wrong).

And the MID is correct, based on your getvar output posted in the top post (modelid).

MID won't affect custom ROMs.

Don't mess with the MID, for the reasons stated previously. I don't see how it will help you; and if you make a mistake you will brick.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptik86:
yes, i thinking like you, there is no prob. with my mid.

so the searching going on
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would try the RUU again, maybe something didn't install correctly the first time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptik86:
i have tryed to Install this over 15 times. every time the same "error" after install the system starting normal.

after reboot nothing happen on the "HTC ONE" logo, only whey i do a factory reset, then it starts normal again, till i restart the phone next time.

yesterday i try to install a MIUI rom from XDA this one

and it works. so my thinking is, that is something with 5.X ROM's because it seems that only this not working.

MIUI = 4.4.4 = Work

CM12.1, VIPER ROM, STOCK, GPE 5.1 = 5.X = Don't work :silly: :crying:

CM 13 = 6.0 = Work

what do u thinking?:o
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Don't know, its pretty puzzling. Especially since you have the error on full stock (RUU) and also on CM12.1.

I'm out of ideas, short of changing your CID/MID to flash another versions RUU (which seems pretty drastic).

Where can I get the drivers for the Xperia Z5 to Flashtools?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Looks like they don't exist yet, although it still works fine with the fastboot drivers. I have flashed mine using 0.9.19.10
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadonlyone:
you have to install default drivers from Flashtool folder installed files: [Drive:]\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe

Flashtool is using his own good drivers and they are different from normal mtp, storage etc drivers for Windows.

also you have to pay attention if you're running windows 8 or above because you have to install all those drivers by disabling driver signature verification, using advanced startup (you’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager > change windows startup behavior).

after that everything it will be fine in fastboot mode.

have fun :good:
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harfot:
...or here.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazonclash:
If you're running Windows 8 or 10 64-bit (most likely), don't forget to disable Driver Signature Enforcement (http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/) before installating the drivers, otherwise the installation will fail.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I use the Flashmode and Fastboot option? In which option I choose within the Fastboot?

But this file has only antiguos devices such as Z, Z1, Z2, Z3 ... Which I choose?

Many thanks for the tip! Had disabled!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Just select both during install, I normally choose three, these two plus the phone specific
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Sorry, but still I did not understand. You can not choose Flashmode and Fastboot at the same time.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
No install them all (I do all three as mentioned), you are correct can only use one mode during flashing
[HTC One A9] stinkytaco:
Today HTC's got a 40% off sale for the M9, the second they've had in recent weeks, so it looks like they are really trying to move it. I have an A9 and like it pretty well, but at $390 (US), how do users that have had both feel the A9 stacks up. I'm coming from the M7 and am enjoying the camera upgrade and better screen, but miss the speakers and HDMI out, though not enough to spend and extra $250 on the M9 at full price.

I'm following the threads on the camera over on the M9 forums and people are doing cool things, so I'm torn on returning this for the M9 on sale.

How do people that have made the jump feel?
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
I prefer my M9. The A9 is VERY cool and I like it a lot, but just not as much as my M9. The A9 fingerprint scanner is extremely cool, but that's about the only thing I can think of that I like more. I prefer sense on the M9 and I know that custom roms will probably come to the A9, but there aren't any yet so the best you can do as fast a customizing is to root. The custom rom I use on my M9 is pretty close to stock, but has some nice tweaks that I've gotten used to.

I haven't tried the camera on the A9, but the M9 is good enough for my purposes (snapshots and videos of the kid). I also haven't tested battery life, but the M9 isn't very good in that regard, so I'm expecting the A9 to be about the same.

Marshmallow seems cool, but it's coming to the M9 by year end, so that shouldn't be much of a factor.

Are there any specific questions you want me to answer? I have both devices here next to me.
[HTC One A9] stinkytaco:
Thanks for the reply. I don't have anything specific, just wondering what people feel. For me, the two big features I miss are stereo speakers and HDMI out. Neither of those are worth a bunch to me, but I miss them, especially when traveling. But at the same price...

That said, I like Sense and don't have much stomach for ROMs any more (too many late nights trying to restore my phone). The speed of M9 is meaningless to me, my M7 is still fast enough, though the bump in RAM in the A9 has been welcome.

The big one is the camera. I see what people are doing over on the M9 forums in the camera thread and the M9 camera is clearly better than it was first reviewed, but most of those great pictures seem to be lots of tweaking and attention. Do you feel the A9 has the better camera for "day to day" use?

It's not that I'm unhappy with the A9, I'm just eyeing the deal for what is ostensibly a "better" phone wondering if it's worth switching. I expect I'm not the only one wondering what the comparison is.
[HTC One A9] jollywhitefoot:
I haven't taken a single picture with the A9. The M9 camera is fine. It's definitely not spectacular. Those guys in the M9 camera thread recommend to not touch the screen in auto mode (to select a focus point) so sometimes the camera doesn't focus on the subject if your subject is not obvious (or centered). In low light, you definitely have to try to keep your phone steady to get the best results.

If you like the A9, the i don't think you should get an M9. It's not necessarily better than the A9, it's just different with different strengths ans weaknesses. I much prefer the M9, but i'm sure others much prefer the A9.
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
A9 camera is better than the M9 IMO, I have both. But still sucks compared to the iPhone..so yeah...Plus, I like the look/feel of the new A9 over the M9, size/weight etc.just hoping for VZW support sooner than later, and some custom ROMs as well.
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
I'd worked around all these crappy camera issues by just getting a Sony QX-100 instead. Now I don't have to care except for the crappy Sony WiFi issues.
[HTC One A9] sonus:
Why go for the Sony QX-100 when you could have gotten a Sony RX100, forgone any viewfinder lag, added a flash and several other features, and still had kept the nifty remote viewfinder in case that sort of thing is important to you?
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
Yup, that's why I solved that with a Mk4 of it.

My point is that we can get ahead of the smartphone camera race, if we really cared. Selecting a camera based on a smartphone is fairly pointless to me since phones are so "disposable" and varying quality these days.
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
A9 camera is better IMO. LIke the looks/feel of the A9, plus the price was right...but alas, no VZW support anytime soon...need to go back to cricket/att in 12 months...vzw was a mistake.
[HTC One A9] mrbillishere:
Here's a difference that is giving me cause to pause and consider returning the A9.

I'm not a video gamer so normally I ignore those type of performance ratings when phones are reviewed/compared. However, on a whim I picked up a free Google Cardboard from VZW last week. I put my M9 into it and had a great time experimenting with the concept. It was a generally entertaining experience.

Then, this week, my red A9 showed up. Yeah I can't use it on VZW yet but that didn't stop me from playing with it. Well, wouldn't ya know, the same Google Cardboard things that I played around with on the M9 performed poorer on the A9. Notably poorer. The part I'm talking about is around panning the image to and fro using the demonstration app. I suspect that this is due to the 3D rendered nature of the demo. The image, while panning, stutters noticeably on the A9.

This is the first phone I've had in a long time that wasn't running a Snapdragon 800 series processor and other top end components. I guess the M9's better graphics engine is coming into play. Bummer, because the A9's OIS is an attractive feature the M9 lacks. The fingerprint reader works fine but I wish the placement was on the back like my Nexus 5X. Other than that, I can't find many differences or have many complaints about the A9 vs the M9. But this one thing with Google Cardboard could be foreshadowing of something else I'll bump into down the road so i have to hurry up and make the decision on whether or not to keep it.
[HTC One A9] perXway1:
I'm a nexus 5 owner. I'm considering getting a nexus 5x or an A9. Also considering just replacing my black 16 GB nexus 5 (that has a cracked screen) with a red 32gb nexus 5 since I love this phone so much.

What are your thoughts? I love the size of them all and all of their displays. The A9 is by far the best looking. Batteries are all about the same. N5 camera is worst of the 3. Fingerprint readers on the 5x and a9. Price of N5 is dirt cheap and the A9 is a little steep. 3gb ram on a9. 5x has the best cpu and I'm a big fan of nexus 4 and 5.

I'm torn.

Plus this forum is not showing much promise for development. Honestly, root is all I need, but it would still be a bonus.

Sorry for OT
[HTC One A9] TMartin:
I have a Nexus 5X, a One M9 and the One A9. I'm all One A9. Performance seems to be on par with the M9 and better compared to the 5X. The camera quality is better than the M9 and seems on par with the 5X.
[HTC One A9] perXway1:
Find it hard to believe better performance than the N5x considering internal differences. I've seen the A9 get bogged down with maps open and in background... Also saw it dropping frames while gaming where the 5x doesn't. I can understand it being on par with the m9 but only because the ui is more optimized.

I wish I could make the A9 and 5x mate... Give me a 32gb, metal, iPhone looking device with microsd support, 3gb ram, SD 808 CPU, and 5x display. Ugh
[HTC One A9] TMartin:
I used the 5X for a month and I've been using the A9 for a month. Daily usage...A9 seems better. I don't really game too much other than Threes and some basketball game.
[HTC One A9] perXway1:
Lol I don't game either, not on my phone at least, just happened to notice it and I was a lil put off...
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
So are there specific daily tasks where the m9 shows the 810 issues? They say it is a lot better with last updates but I don't have one and here in Italy it's almost absent in the market.
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
I had an M9 and G4 and now A9, well the A9 is superior to both!

The screen doesn't suffer from poor viewing angles like on M9.

Sound quality with earphones is thousands miles better than G4 and slighty better than M9.

Camera is better than M9 for sure but not as good as G4 because of the poor dynamic light

Design wise it's finally different than M7 and M8 while very sexy and keeping the metal body spirit.

Battery is the same on all 3 devices.

UI speed on A9 is faster than M9, it's so fast that it feels like a liquid UI

The only thing the M9 has more is the wide custom Sense roms available, but the A9 will have a good one soon.

So yes the A9 is the way to go!
[HTC One A9] ijuanp03:
I also have both A9 and M9 and here is my response to your comments

The screen doesn't suffer from poor viewing angles like on M9.

- M9 does NOT have poor viewing angles. Don't make people believe on this.

Sound quality with earphones is thousands miles better than G4 and slighty better than M9.

- Probably. But then again, M9 is both EXCELLENT in speaker and earphone tests unlike the A9 who has tinny sound coming from the mono speaker.

Camera is better than M9 for sure but not as good as G4 because of the poor dynamic light

- Agreed. The M9 could've been considered GOOD if not for the lack of OIS. (Note: slight hand movement WILL make your photos blurry especially in indoor/low lighting so the 20mp is technically USELESS if that happens.)

Design wise it's finally different than M7 and M8 while very sexy and keeping the metal body spirit.

- and to those people who don't like iOS but would like to have a similar design to an iPhone 6

Battery is the same on all 3 devices.

- A9 is only good at standby. Use it normally and it WILL drain faster than M9.

UI speed on A9 is faster than M9, it's so fast that it feels like a liquid UI

- Disagree. A9 stutters esp when multitasking (switching from an app to another) while the M9 is a SOLID performer (just like the M8 and M7).

The only thing the M9 has more is the wide custom Sense roms available, but the A9 will have a good one soon.

So yes the A9 is the way to go!

- It's the way to go if you prefer to have:

1. A better camera experience

2. Fingerprint scanner

3. iPhone-esque design

4. Lighter and slimmer body

5. AMOLED screen

Cons:

1. Slower performance than the M9

2. No boomsound speaker

3. Perceived as an iPhone clone to some (I definitely argue with people who are telling me it's HTC who imitated. grrrr)
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
Well, I guess it would be fine for me. I'd rather have a smooth interface than a roughly fast one, but it's just me. I definitely understand who needs a fast phone and can sacrifice some of the ux. Anyone owning the red one to tell me how it looks? :)
[HTC One A9] BirneKlub9:
Im struggeling between oneplus 2 and htc one a9.. what do you guys think is the best choice?

the snapdragon 617 makes me thoughtful...
[HTC One A9] jellmoo:
My thoughts:

If you like to do 3D style gaming on your device, avoid this phone. The Adreno 405 just isn't cut out for it. Any game that has a lot of movement on screen at any given time is going to drop frames. Sometimes it will be barely noticeable, other times it will be obvious.

If you live in areas where the device ships with 2GB/16GB, I would say no. It doesn't make it terrible, but it does kill a good chunk of value from it.

That being said, if you aren't worried about either of those, then this is a great device. It really is fast and fluid. It really does have a lot of intangibles that come into play. The build quality is phenomenal. Sound coming through headphones is the best I've ever heard. It holds onto wifi better than almost any other device. The fingerprint scanner is insanely good. The screen is a joy to use.

This device is unique in that for me, it was the only thing available that hit every criteria I was looking for:

- Minimum 32GB of built in storage w/ micro SD expansion

- Light and simple UI that's fluid

- Fast updates

- AMOLED Screen

- Good build quality

- Decent camera that takes good enough pictures without fuss

- Fingerprint scanner

- Can be used in one hand comfortably

There really isn't any other device readily available in North America that hits all of those other than the A9.
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
I beg to differ about the 2GB RAM, mine is 2gb and it's faster than the M9 (UI), I never faced a memory problem.

The M8 which is still beloved my some people is a 2GB ram phone , the Sense UI is light enough and the only bloatware you get are Google ones that you can disable very easily

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

The M9 has poor viewing angles, just try to see the screen from any angle but straight and you will see how whitish it goes.

Boomsound speaker are good for people who want to party with a phone as a HIFI system lol.

The A9 feels more HTCish than iphone, don't believe what paid reviews said....

It looks like you don't have the A9 because this phone destroys the M9 in every aspects but heavy 3D games (I have a strong PC for that), so unless you are a heavy phone 3D gamer I don't understand how someone can prefer the old M9 over the sexy A9 :D

Battery?? Well today 2 hours of BT audio in my car + 2 hours GPS sportstracker, I only lost 20% while M9 and G4 used to loose 30 to 40%

SOT is about 4.5 hours which is exactly what I used to have with M9 . the G4 (4 hours)

What I don't like in both phones are the 5'' screens which is small for VR Cardboard, hoping HTC will finally upgrade to 5.2'' 1440p with the M10
[HTC One A9] jellmoo:
For me, the RAM isn't the issue so much as the storage is. 16GB base storage is, IMO, simply too little. True, you can format and SD card to use as internal, but that kills the ability to swap cards in and out, which is a really nice feature to have.
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
I share your point, except for amoled screen. But I guess you are right :) if I have to change, I'll go for the A9 or a possible M10, we'll see. Thanks a lot.
[HTC One A9] jellmoo:
Honestly, right now is a pretty bad time to buy a new device. In the next 2-3 months there are going to be a lot of new releases from the major manufacturers. If you need a new device now, I would absolutely recommend the A9 as a solid device. If you don't, and can wait a bit, it may be a good idea to see what's coming in the pipeline first.
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
I really hope the snapdragon 820 will change cards on the table. For now it's difficult to say with only the LeEco 1 Max Pro...
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Biggest complaint about the A9, processor performance, laginess doing the most basic things. Ridiculous. OTOH, battery last a long time. Once these companies figure out how to make a phone with long battery life and fast processor, it will be a problem. So the tradeoff, M9, higher quality overall built phone, camera not so great, otherwise, good performance speed/processor. The A9, slower processor, performance suffers, better camera, battery last longer. And I like the look/feel of the A9 much better.
[HTC One A9] McAwesome123:
Hello, I have a Galaxy S6 but the USB is broken so it can only charge..no data transfer, pretty much non rootable, no aosp roms available. I am looking to change it for a One A9, do you think its a good trade? Do you think it will stutter with cm13 on it? I don't play any games at all on it, so performance wouldn't be an issue. What do you think?
[HTC One A9] paulmt123:
It will stutter less than the s6. I had s6 for 3 days and returned it as scrolling in web was just jerky. No such issues with HTC one A9. It takes longer to load games and big programs but it feels smooth most of the time. Not sure if I had a bad s6 or what but I was shocked at how laggy it was.
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
Use AAA player it will not stutter, I tried it with many videos, with other VR player it will stutter
[HTC One A9] fix-this!:
if the price tag wasn't soo expensive id get one but i cant justify the price for this midrange. plus theres virtually zero development for it, if you dont see viper you know its not a popular device. not bashing it as i really like the design, size and im partial to htc but at this point id wait for the m10 as its going to have the same look as the a9 with much better specs.
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
You are saying non-sense, Viper and other big dev usually buy the flagship meaning M7,M8,M9...M10

That's why the A9 which is just in between with M9 and M10 is not considered as flagship and is not having lot of custom rom but they are coming soon.
[HTC One A9] fix-this!:
not nonsense. ive been considering returning my nexus 6p and getting the a9. I went to go play with one at at&t today before I decide and they pulled the phone and inventory and sent it back to htc becuase of no sales. I went to 2 stores and both the same. for me thats the kiss of dealth. the price tag is what killed the a9.
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
I think marketing killed the a9. I saw some ads on the official youtube channel: none of them showing what the phone can do, how sense ui is, etc. Just people dancing and late night city panoramas....
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
HTC never had a good marketing team. I mean a facebook page is free and they could make one very active for every country with contests to win phones like samsung does. But they don't, go figure!
[HTC One A9] enridalco:
I don't know. Here in italy they are almost absent in the marketing and advertisement. Ofc people think it's an iphone clone
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
Yep in France they did the M9 advertising on TV but zero for A9, they just do advertisements for the wrong device lol

But even though the HTC M9 was not available at Fnac in Paris which is the most popular multimedia shop because ''not as popular as samsung and LG'', so the absence of the A9 doesn't surprise me.

HTC never was a huge distributor, my 1st HTC phone was the Nexus 1 and it was only available to buy online, a couple of months later it was in shops, also the aim of HTC is not to sell huge volumes of phones but to build a quality brand that only connoisseurs buy
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Just compare a simple download and install or update of an app on the M9 and the A9...A9 is so painfully slow as it "installs..." M9 and the processor was so quick, updating was fast of apps/installs once downloaded.

One complaint, processor performance and general laginess doing simple things I never had with my M9. Otherwise, terrific phone. At least with the flagship M9 Rom support/Kernel by devs, you could tweak and shutoff some cores to save some battery/heat.

I haven't go around to trying to tweak the kernels that are out and do a rebuild and custom kernel to at least get some Overclock support for it.

I think if we can get some overclocking some, I would be satisfied.
