This is the official recovery that is included with the cm13 source a.k.a. Cyanogen Recovery (as they call it)

I dont know of the functions as i didnt have time to test them. You can see the *screenshots*. I can assure you that this can atleast flash a zip. For the remaining answer, please read post #4 and #5. I myself use twrp as it is advanced. This is stock cm recovery. Do not expect much from this as it was a historical fork of the once legendary cwm.

[OnePlus 2 Android Development] Grarak:
If you are skilled enough to port kexec to arm64 and then port kexec hardboot to our device, then go ahead.

I don't have btc.

Noone would pay anything for a ROM and I also will never charge anyone to use my stuff. Always released everything for free. With apps you have a way bigger user count, which means more donations.

I am working 45 hours a week and get hardly more than 320 euro #Bundesheer. By releasing apps I can at least afford some christmas gifts and buy something nice for myself.

I am NOT forcing anyone to donate to me.

i totally understand the time and efforts that you have invested into OP2. I really wouldn't mine donating you (and most other advance users too) for a cm13. I do acknowledge other developers and their efforts. But as the world is, you have proved your worth with cm12.1 so we have our hopes pined on you. Help this community enjoy Cyanogen. If you cannot invest full time, AT least please, help other Dev's in bug fixes.

I respect your work and every other Developers. I also respect your decision. Thank you.

Hi! I just want to ask how do I make the cyanogenmod 13 default recovery to work? 'Cauz every time I try to go into recovery mode and select install updates, it just says installation aborted. I mean, it doesn't even allow me to choose the zip file on my SD . unlike from the clockworkmod where I can freely roam the content of the SD card to find the zip file. I hope someone could help me. I need to install gapps using recovery

Tnx a lot in advance!
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] tremendouz:
bro, use TWRP

I cant flash it directly from the phone. There are no other ways but to use pc? Or is there an alternative? Appreciate you help sir
[OnePlus 2 Android Development] wtoj34:
You can use the app "Rashr" from the play store. Be ridiculously careful with this app. Make sure you have the proper twrp img for your device and make sure you flash that recovery img to the recovery section. Make sure you read all the warnings before you do anything

[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
Hi all, I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the fact that there is widespread false information regarding this component of the A9.

EDIT: Both HTC and Corning have confirmed the device uses GG 3.

Timeline of events:

Oct 20: A9 announced as having Gorilla Glass 4

Oct 20: Internet is filled with articles repeating this information

Oct 28: Reviews of A9 appear online, some reviewers such as:

The Verge, SlashGear, and PocketNow state that the device uses Gorilla Glass 3.

, most others (ArsTechnica, GSMArena, AndroidPit, etc) all mention the use of Gorilla Glass 4.

Oct 28: HTC silently edits the website to remove the number '4' from any references to the Gorilla Glass on the A9.

Current state: 95% of the information posted online about this phone states Gorilla Glass 4, but there is good reason to believe this is incorrect. HTC did not make a statement to it's customers, even to those of us who pre-ordered during the time where it was advertised as having Gorilla Glass 4.

Nov: Consumers who contact HTC are told the device uses GG4.

Dec: Corning confirms that HTC is using GG3.

Dec: HTC confirms GG3 via twitter

Sources:

The current USA htc.com page no longer specifies the version of Gorilla Glass.

"The HTC One A9 features a super-thin metal frame with an elegant finish, expandable SD card memory and edge-to-edge Corning® Gorilla® Glass. "

Current HTC USA site

HTC USA site on Oct 21 2015, and shown on Canadian HTC website as of Dec 3.:

"The HTC One A9 features a super-thin metal frame with an elegant finish, expandable SD card memory and edge-to-edge Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4. "

It is listed by Corning as using Gorilla Glass 3, and also by the following review sites: Slashgear, PocketNow, The Verge, Engadget, and ZDNet.

So what do you think about this - Does it even matter? Is it the last straw?

I'll admit that the screen on my A9 has performed just fine so far (other than the brightness control), but regardless I feel like HTC has pulled a fast one.

Note: User cameron1292 has contacted HTC and was told the A9 uses GG4. Posted here

Dec Update:

Corning provided the following statement:
[HTC One A9] Haz04:
Just wanted to confirm. Was it HTC USA that confirmed GG4?
[HTC One A9] cameron1292:
If I wasn't on my phone I would have posted the chat. The two said I can assure you it's cornering 4. And I said are you positive because there is widespread online talk about it being 3. And they assured me again that it was 4. That could be a deal-breaker for me and I might call att and try and get it swapped. Their site also says 4

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Yes USA
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
The fact that HTC intentionally removed the reference to GG '4' from the online description really says it all. There is fairly solid evidence that the device is not what they say it is, if it's true then this is some genuine widespread false advertising. HTC knew about the error sometime around the end of Oct, it's nearly been a month and the device is still advertised as using Gorilla Glass 4.
[HTC One A9] cameron1292:
Yeppppp. It's still on ATT website as 4. I'm thinking about calling them and getting a different phone. I like this one a lot but the fact that I'll be paying 500 for a phone now with gorilla glass 3 not 4 and the false advertising kind of pisses me off.
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
Corning has provided the following statement:

Feel free to bury your head in the sand if you think the A9 uses GG4.
[HTC One A9] rlvl:
It was certainly a downer when I came across this too ... but then again it didn't affect my buying decision.. Wish HTC had got it right the first time though.
[HTC One A9] Newcron:

[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
Well it's settled then, thanks for the info. At least I can say my a9 screen still looks perfect after 2+ weeks of use :)
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
I appreciate knowing the truth about the glass, although it is really an unimportant issue IMHO. Many phone makers don't say which glass they are using - often because they don't use Gorilla Glass and consumers neither know nor care about competitors.

What bothers me here, and on the other thread, are the accusations of dishonesty on the part of HTC. I suppose those saying such things are not very experienced with what it takes to do a simultaneous world-wide product introduction. In an earlier life I was a high tech product manager, and I do understand how mistakes like this can happen, and are not fixed in an instant (and particularly for such a small detail). My guess is that the A9 was originally planned (likely from a year or more ago) to have GG4 (and the 617 SoC). By the time the phone was in prototype stage the preliminary marketing materials (brochures/datasheets/website/PRs/manuals/support & training materials/etc) were being finalized, and included the description at that time. Then sometime before production started a decision was made to revert to GG3 - possibly for cost or availability reasons. To then go back and change all of those materials was a substantial effort, and was never going to happen instantly. Consider that every national subsidiary, every carrier that is handling the phone, every web page in every country (and language) had to be corrected, and each of those was likely not under the direct control of the HTC product manager for the phone. All work-in-process needed correction. And everyone who had already been trained had to get the message, and then remember the new description. And then how to remove all of the old references? In short, it is a huge task, and one not done quickly. Meanwhile this is happening at crunch time. The crucial holiday shopping season has begun, customers (and carriers) are clamoring for product, and there is either a supply shortage, unexpectedly high demand, or both. Product development is still continuing on the Verizon and Sprint models, production has been delayed on the red and gold versions. A response was quickly organized to contact the disappointed pre-order customers, another distraction.

Keeping all of the above in mind, do you really think it reasonable to expect an instant and total fix to such a small detail?

Cut some slack folks.
[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
I understand what you're saying, I might have sensationalized the issue somewhat. Still, they didn't even bother mentioning it to customers who pre-ordered the device. Not only did they do a poor job correcting the information, they intentionally made it ambiguous by not specifying '3'.

I don't care about the glass, I just think the way they handled it is questionable. This is why I made a poll, everyone seems to have a different opinion on the matter which is great. I don't expect an 'instant' fix, but over a month after release is a bit much. It only takes a second to add it to the bottom of the notice email all pre-orders received regarding the delay on shipping + verizon support. The biggest thing for me is that they updated the site right away, but when doing so they intentionally left out the new information. I guess I expect too much.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
The problem is that you keep assuming ill intent without any evidence whatsoever. You obviously have no clue about how hard it is to propagate changes at the last minute in a large operation. My guess is that the product manager did send out an email announcing the change in spec, but there is no way his distribution would go directly to all who needed to know, and we all know how messages morph as they pass through multiple hands. I can well imagine that the website coder got the message to remove the "4" without specifically being told to replace it with a "3", and not wanting to risk further errors did not add the "3" on his own. That is how these things happen. No dishonest intent, just imperfect humans.

The thing is, HTC has gone out of their way to preserve good will. I have never heard of a consumer goods company actually calling customers to apologize for a delay and offer alternatives (an expensive and resource-consuming effort). And to offer customers a credit for 25% of the value of the product is very generous. I think that is clear evidence of their intent to treat their customers well. They do not deserve to have their reputation impugned.

It is worth noting that this introduction has suffered from poor planning and/or implementation. I do sympathize with the delays in coding and FCC approval of the carrier-specific models (each one needing a separate approval), and the apparent delay in availability of the colored aluminum cases. It is a very difficult choice to delay the introduction until full availability or hit the Xmas sales season, but not both. Still, these problems should not be leaking out into the customer base.

It is a popular trope to see corporations as evil. A corporation is not a person (regardless of what our flawed Supreme Court may say); it is an organization of many people. While there certainly are executives who do bad things, much of what goes wrong is the result of human error. I have found it best to remember: never assume a conspiracy when simple incompetence is a sufficient explanation.

[HTC One A9] Kardon403:
So you're saying at the end of Oct, when they updated the site, they didn't know it was 3? They sure knew it wasn't 4. Is it too much to ask for them to have emailed the people who pre-ordered to let them know of the mistake? Is it too much to expect that when customers call in to ask, they would not be lied to?

Wouldn't you think the instruction to update the public facing website would be fairly specific? This is probably the most popular page on their site.

I just don't understand why HTC deserves so much 'slack'. They still haven't updated the Canadian website and it's December. When I was a teenager I worked at a job maintaining accurate prices/info on 100's of items, it's not actually that difficult. I don't see why I shouldn't expect more from such an established brand.

I don't think HTC is evil, I like the brand, I still have my first HTC phone and it works like new. I bought the A9, I like HTC, but I don't like seeing them operate like this.

I guess you are taking the point of view that it was a honest mistake, but I think the move to omit the new found information was completely intentional, which is why the site is not currently reading "Gorilla Glass 3" and it probably never will.

Note: I've edited some of my previous posts, in case anyone wondering what CarinaPDX is referring to.
[HTC One A9] km8j:
Want to bump this. Did anyone else hear about this more? HTC told me via e-mail that the phone *in the USA* still uses GG4.

I have lots of tiny scratches on my phone already. USA a9 with a dot view case. I had a screen protector, but it kept sliding on my phone. I took it off about a week ago, and since then, scratches.
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
are you serious? My A9 never had a screen protector and it has been a month now.. around 4-5 times dropped on the wooden floor, but absolutely no scratch on glass/body. Try wiping those scratches (if you used dot view case, it looks like scratches, but when you wipe them, it should be clean again) and post how it goes. I need to order a screenguard too maybe

I had the same response multiple times
[HTC One A9] bubsnews:
Wow! Do you work for HTC??? "The thing is, HTC has gone out of their way to preserve good will."

My experience has been anything but 'HTC going out of their way...'

I pre-ordered my unlocked A9. Received an email from HTC acknowledging my order and another stating a delay. That was the last time I EVER heard from HTC regarding my order. I've never received my order either.

I've contacted HTC numerous times to cancel my order and finally just the other day received an email from HTC acknowledging my cancellation request. From the time I pre-ordered until the email regarding my cancellation, I contacted HTC numerous times and was repeatedly told my order was still being fulfilled even though during my previous contact I canceled. This happened on at least 4 different occasions. I was never contacted by HTC offering me any discount or even an apology. I ended up buying my unlocked A9 off of ebay and paying more than my pre-order price at HTC.

They are complete idiots in my book. I've been supporting HTC for quite awhile, M7, two M8's and now the A9. If you look up, 'one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing', you will see the company HTC.

Really liking the phone though, but like most everybody else, am not liking that they switched the specs and dropped GG4 without so much as a $*#@ you very much! Absolutely horrible customer service.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
No, I don't work for HTC. In fact purchasing this phone is the first time I have had any dealings with them.

My point was that an error in published spec, likely the result of a late spec change, is in no way a sign of evil intent. Even the best managed corporations make small mistakes like this. Stuff happens.

I will stick with my positive comments about personal phone calls and discounts. Somebody was trying to help out customers, at considerable expense to HTC. I suspect that the effort got called off before everyone was reached as it became apparent how many resources were being tied up in the process.

On the topic of incompetence, well yes they have demonstrated heroic levels of it. They seem to be flailing around trying to fix things, only to raise expectations that then aren't met. In my case a few days after receiving my A9 (after cancelling and re-ordering per HTC) I was sent 3 emails at the same time that alerted me to the fact that the original order that was cancelled had indeed just shipped, that it was a mistake and that a return authorization was issued, and how to properly return it. Oh, and my account was charged another $400 which they would give back when they received the phone. Also, for a single day many accessories were offered at deep discounts, but since some were out of stock it was impossible to order to lock in the price. Why offer a sale price when the customer can't actually buy the product, or for that matter why have a one-day sale at a time that many customers still haven't received their pre-ordered phones?

What is distressing is the seeming randomness of the preorder process. Some buyers received the products without problems. Others got phone calls and/or emails regarding the problems. Others apparently heard nothing. And for some of us that were helped by re-ordering the product, we found an additional product shipped (and billed).

So far I really like the A9. It does seem that HTC has their product act together. But their North American marketing/sales arm has a remarkable resemblance to the gang that can't shoot straight - something we can agree on. I hope they get someone in there who knows their product management, and who has the authority to get the IT system fixed. The home team in Taiwan should be pretty upset about this.

If GG3 or GG4 i do not care. I have no scratches in my Display. No tiny Scratches, no big Scratches. The Display is very good. On iPhone 6 i had after three Days tiny Scratches. On HTC One A9 after three Weeks no Scratches.

You might not have scratches now but it impacts overall quality and durability

Hey,

I got some problems(aside from those). i just bought the dopod housing for my cingular 8125 because my old housing was cracked in alot of places. did the whole swap no issues and afterwards i cant seem to get a radio signal. now for anyone who hasn't looked yet there is a strip that is located under the antenna cover that connects to the antenna pins and that (as far as i can see) is touching fine. during the swap i did not touch the antenna itself.

now before anyone thinks it i'll go ahead and let you know i did go through the frustrating process of movign everything back to where it was but nothing changed. i also (on my other pc) am trying to reload the radio rom i was using before to see if that will change anything. so i guess for right now i'm kinda looking for anyone who has faced the same scenario and how they solved it, just incase his doesn't work.
