[One (E9+) General] Sheythan...:
thank you very much for your response. i checked the IMEIs from the the web site you shared , they seem correct.

i also contacted with local HTC support center they also confirmed that the IMEIs and the serial number is OK .

and also, they informed me that the phone is not rooted or bootloader is not unlocked. they said the phone is completely original.

so is it possible that the phone is really S-OFF ? :) just wanted to be sure since i do not know very detailly, thanks for your response.

by the way my phone is showing : htc_a55ml_dtul PVT S-OFF , do youknow what is PVT?

by the way ROM is not rooted, i am planning the unlock and install TWRP. do you recommend a good ROM for this phone ?

thanks

regards.
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Share the pic of your phone while in download mode. As i mentioned, the guy probably reflashed the stock RUU before selling. Few chinesse custom roms are there.. you can flash european ruu incase you dont require the stock chinesse appz
[One (E9+) General] Sheythan...:
at the beginning there were some chinese applications and i uninstalled them.

so since i am s-off, i can change my cid to global 1111111 and install whatever i wish right?

also for installing the europe RUU, do i also need to flash the related firmware with european ?

thanks

regards
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Yes with super-cid you can flash any regions firmware. In my previous post i shared the guide link for how to do it
[One (E9+) General] Sheythan...:
thanks for the response my friend.

so according to the picture of my download mode i am s-off right ?

the thing i do not understand , how is it possible to make s-off without unblocking the bootloader . because it still seems "LOCKED"

thanks

regards.
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Thats what m thinking as well. But few guys for M9 were able to change Relocked to Locked.. for S-OFF you can try changing the CID ;)
[One (E9+) General] GelullaBarr:
If a device is S-off you can change the flag, from relocked to locked and make disappear "Status software: modified". I did that (falsh a firmware with modified flag) on M7 and send it back to warranty. The firmware was not made by me. So I think this is the case with your device.
[One (E9+) General] sabpprook:
XTC2Clip can make devices S-OFF directly.

Here are the commands to modify the flags in pg1fs and pg2fs

But it's for Taiwan model, so I'm not sure that it's compatible with other model or not.

adb shell
su

*** botoloader ***
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1 seek=33796
echo -ne 'HTCU' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1 seek=33796

echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=1 seek=39940
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Interesting. Did you try this on E9+? to change the Relocked to Locked Flag?

Partition table should be same for all regions?

TWRP backup
[One (E9+) General] Sheythan...:
interesting :)

i just want to ask that, for installing european RUU, do i also have to flash the European firmware or can i install the European RUU on my current Asia FW?

thanks
[One (E9+) General] congnhon:
Can You have ROM details?
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Do a factory reset & flash European RUU
[One (E9+) General] sabpprook:
Of course, I have already test on Taiwanese E9+
[One (E9+) General] Plokko:
It's a backup of the rom i got with my E9W right after a factory reset.

I received the phone already rooted and S-OFF with unlocked CID;

the rom appears to be modded with additional apps (UC Browser, KingRoot and CleanMaster) and multilanguage.

HTC_a53ml_dtul

OS-1.86.1405.2

The link is for a zipped TWRP backup, so you need to unzip it in your SD and restore it
[One (E9+) General] Plokko:
UPDATES:

i contacted another XDA user (vvvplanet) that bought the same phone from the same aliexpress seller:

the phone is ok but we both got additional apps in the rom (CleanMaster,etc.) and self-installing apps after some time (UC battery saver).

I'm actually testing the phone after removing bloataware like clean master right after a factory reset and i'm not getting any spyware but they may just be hidden for now.

If someone is willing to point out a clean RUU or scan my rom backup to clean it it would be great!

I'm trying to make a MTK droid tool backup but i'm always getting errors

PS: Because the A9W is incompatible with A9+ roms woudn't be better if we started another separate thread for it?
[One (E9+) General] GelullaBarr:
Ok guys, thanks to [MENTION=4375068]sabpprook[/MENTION] now we have a custom recovery(TWRP 2.8.7.0) wich have an option to not touch "system" partition, so we still can update the phones OTA. This is for E9(A53). It's working great and have a nice UI. One mention. If you want to access ext_sd you must first mount ext_sd from Mount menu. That's it.

[One (E9+) General] congnhon:
Thank you very much.

One e9w have new OTA yet?
[One (E9+) General] Plokko:
we're even waiting for a stock RUU because we got the phone pre-rooted and heavly modified so no luck for now;

i tried to make a MTK droid tool backup but no matter what i tries it always fails (lost connection with the phone after busybox is installed manually)

Help, my phone is e9w (china) locked s-off superCID.i flash ruu from e9x (tw), but the updates are not installed . how to fix it? my devise mid is 0PL310000 and e9x 0PL312000.. i need change mid for ota install? but how?

upd: srry.. fastboot writemid 0PL312000

[One (E9+) General] congnhon:
I have flash this recovery, but when OTA update but still nothing changed ?
[One (E9+) General] GelullaBarr:
Before you flashed this recovery(yesterday) you didn't make the update OTA?
[One (E9+) General] congnhon:
I have 1 backup and reboot but still nothing. I copied OTA file on SDcard and use recovery install but nothing changes
[One (E9+) General] GelullaBarr:
You cannot update OTA this way. This TWRP is good because it doesn't touch system partition and when an OTA update arrive, you must flash stock recovery and than make OTA update from settings. If you have installed other TWRP before, your system partition is modified and you cannot update OTA(even if you have this new TWRP rebuild by [MENTION=4375068]sabpprook[/MENTION]). try to talk with [MENTION=4375068]sabpprook[/MENTION] to help you rebuild your system partition. He helped me with that. After you'll have original recovery, you can make update OTA from settings and than flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 wich I post it here and root. In the future, when the next update will be on air, again you must reflash stock recovery to make that update.
[One (E9+) General] congnhon:
I need to stock recovery for one E9w , Can you help me???
[One (E9+) General] GelullaBarr:
I don't have it and it must be modified if you have installed twrp. I can't help you, sorry
[One (E9+) General] sabpprook:
Flash the RUU #3 which provided by [MENTION=1565977]DutchDanny[/MENTION].

If your device's main version is higher than 1.86.1405.2, make s-off first.
[One (E9+) General] Arjs:
i just got this phone from one of my family members. I am surprised xda has nothing really for this phone. I have rooted phones before but i really have very less knowledge. If anyone using this phone, who is kind enough to post some sort of instructions as to where I begin ? My phone is on Android 5.0.2 and it wont update to marshmallow. Is there any way to update it to 6.0 ? or if I somehow manage to root it which I dont understand right now, I dont see any RoM's for this phone?

Please just some guidance/ pointers in the right direction and I will google the rest. Any help is much appreciated.

hi my friend

sorry for asking too many questions , really appreciate if you can help me.

thanks

-which of the European RUU do i have to install ? which is the most current ? (please see bottom line)

-after flashing the RUU, do i have to flash any OTA or the OTA will be installed automatically according to my region code ? (please see bottom line)

-i am planning to make my region code to 1111111, so can i receive the marshmallow ota update after that automatically?

-can i install the RUU with my current TWRP recovery or do i have to install the stock recovery?

-last question :) , do i need to install the europe firmware as well, because in my previous htc one, when i want to change the RUU i used to install the firmware related with that RUU also.

Thanks for the reply and your extremely detailed guide. :) I have 3 further questions..

2- Can i change cid to 11111111 without s-off also ? because i wont be able to pay $25 atm.

3- Will changing RUU to other region allow me to update to Marshmallow ?

You cannot change CID without S-OFF.. i didnt try iroot so cannot say

And changing RUU to europe might give u the update first

Dutch Danny

I need a little help mate and hopefully I can help you in some way too

I have an HTC ONE E9+ (DUAL SIM)

I rooted it and have S-OFF

Like everyone else I would like to install the OTA then root again

These are my phone details

Can you please advise which recovery files I need - I made a backup using TWRP when I did it but I am sure that will not work

I have also made a copy of the OTA - are these files any use to you? I can share them to you via Dropbox if you want them

I have 55GB on Dropbox, I don't mind lending you some space for several months if you need some files storing :)

I bought my E9+ from Dubai but not sure which country version it is.

After the recent OTA my phone's wifi is not working properly (all APs are poor even sitting beside them).

Software version 1.45.709.5

Baseband version 1.1506V24P22T34.2103.0805_AD5W

I want to flash the phone all over again, which RUU should I use ?, my bootloader is unlocked by HTCDev method. S-ON
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
From where in dubai you bought it? Website or shopping mall? To be sure check your cid via command fastboot getvar cid

Then check in my thread to which region your device belongs to & use that RUU
[One (E9+) General] telerian:
I bought it from a shop in Deira which only sells HTC. If the reason behind your question is that you think it is a replica, it is not since I opened a ticket with HTC for my current wifi problem (which is the reason why I want to reflash) and they didn't say it is not original. I am wondering if anyone has the same software version as mine

I will try your command and give feedback.
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
I know Deira market well as cell phone trading is my part time work :-p. Well the i asked to get a quick guess if urz is a MEA version or HK to TW stock. As for me & my wife i got the HK versions with silly apps. I converted mine to European
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Ok my friend so your device is also HK stock as mine is. So answer to all your questions.. flash European RUU & flash it via the process in my guide..

Once you will flash the RUU it'll unroot your phone & replace TWRP with the stock one so no worries..
[One (E9+) General] butiki33:
Thanks fshami. I've read your guide many times, but wasn't sure if it would match my phone exactly.

So after I flash the Euro RUU it will be S-Off and unrooted, with new stock recovery and no more TWRP? Wow. Okay, I get it.

Which Euro RUU do you recommend? I think I remember reading DutchDanny suggesting the last one:

0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.45.401 .2_combined

I assume that's because it's the last HTC build (1.45.401 .2) and therefore probably the most up-to-date. I'm not sure why it is designated "combined".

Also, I should use the TWRP v. 2.8.7.0, right? And no need to download Euro firmware after? If I am getting OTA updates through Cricket, then I won't need to flash the OTA file either, if I understand correctly...
[One (E9+) General] DutchDanny:
You need to be s-off before you can flash an other region.

After a RUU flash your completely stock and ready for ota

Send via my Galaxy Tab S2
[One (E9+) General] telerian:
I am sure mine is not MEA version because when I bought the phone it was on Chinese/Taiwanese language by default but on the other hand the phone has no Chinese/silly apps at all so maybe Taiwan ?

Why doesn't it show the CID on the recovery mode screen which I shared ?
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
It wont show CID / MID in download mode as your device is S-ON. You can run below command:

fastboot getvar CID

Or use any root explorer & check CID in /system/build.prop
[One (E9+) General] butiki33:
Thank you DutchDanny.

fshami , are there any advantages to the Euro RUU over the Chinese one? What are the main differences?
[One (E9+) General] fshami:
Performance wise nothing big. But just a peace of mind for me as lot of junk apps are removed & ram usage reduced abit
[One (E9+) General] butiki33:
I am feeling more confident now about flashing a new RUU, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to accept the HK OTA updates and see the result. Here is what I tracked with each update. Bear in mind that I had disabled/turned off updates for 28 apps before the OTA, including many Google apps (Books, Newsstand, etc.).

Original software: v. 1.30.708.6; ROM: not recorded, but ~11 GB; SD card: not recorded, but ~2GB "other" data

Update v. 1.41.708.6; ROM: 12.18 GB; SD card: 4.00 GB

Update v. 1.41.708.9; ROM: 11.86 GB; SD card: 4.25 GB

Update v. 1.45.708.5; ROM: 11.75 GB; SD card: 5.62 GB

So it seems that each HK update varied in how much internal memory it resulted in occupying, and in how much of the SD card it used.

How much internal memory does the Euro RUU use?

What about the software version, I have a version which is not mentioned anywhere

Looking to put F2FS onto Nexus7 2012

Have TWRP already, but not sure if a different TWRP is needed for f2fs

I've seen mentioned: TWRP older than 2711 didn't completely support F2FS. If so and I change back to EXT-4, do I have to change TWRP back (first)?

There's:

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-grouper-AllF2FS.img for the N7, but version too old?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
So I think this is what I'd like to get to replace my Nexus 7 (2013) but have some questions before buying.

1. Does anyone play Hearthstone on this? It lags like crazy on my N7.

2. Does the Shield have any touch screen issues? My N7 has the grounding issues, so touch when it is say on a table instead of in-hand is sketchy at best. Do NOT want a repeat of that problem.

3. Does the Shield allow for OTG interactions? Specifically I have a Fiio DAC that I use with my N7 and my Droid Turbo that I'd like to use to power my headphones.

4. What is the battery life like? I assume in game its still pretty short? No wireless charging on this I assume.

5. Are the cover and pen worth getting? The pen does not have a hover dot tracker like a Wacom tablet or the S-pen, correct?

6. Can a DualShock 3/4 be paired with the Shield? Maybe using Sixaxis from the play store?

7. Can apps be installed to the SDcard? 16gb seems quite small if you install a lot of games.

That's all I can think of right now, thanks for any help!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilbot:
1. I Don't play Hearthstone, but I doubt you'd have any issues playing it on this Tab, it excels at gaming.

2. Haven't heard of any touch issues with the K1. I have the older Shield Tab and touchscreen is fine.

3. Haven't had any issue with OTG use. I've only tested a USB thumb drive and a USB keyboard - they both work fine.

4. Battery life really depends on what you do, the tab definitely drains if you're gaming. I think the new Marshmallow update has helped with idle battery life. There is the Performance/Power optimization settings that you can toggle. The tablet is not known for having amazing battery life, unfortunately.

5. The cover is a good buy. It has a strong magnetic pull that keeps it angled and its awesome to set it down and just watch something on a train, plane or even a counter. The cover also has auto wake/sleep. It does not do much beyond that besides being pricey. The stylus isn't anything special, other than having a finer tip than most capacitive stylus out there. If you don't plan to use it much, not worth getting especially now that the K1 has no slot to store it (you'll likely lose it). Buying the stylus really depends on your use case scenario.

6. You can pair PS3 DS controllers via sixaxis. I have paired mine before. Likely PS4 controller would work.

7. The tab supports moving apps to SD and the marshmallow update also has the ability to adopt your SD card for use. I don't use apps on my sdcard so i cant comment much, but I see people mentioning it all the time on the forums.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elpatii:
Hi!

I have a SHIELD Tablet K1 since 2 weeks, I can reply to some questions (some answer from [MENTION=2791886]Gilbot[/MENTION] are more precise):

1. Hearthstone works good on this tablet. It is not ran at 60fps, seems to have a 30fps framerate locked, but very stable.

2. I have only one screen touch issue : when plugged to my wall charger (5V - 2.4A), the screen touch isn't responsive. Otherwise, it's ok.

3. I use un OTG adapter to plug my wired Xbox 360 controller, and it works great.

4. The SHIELD Tablet has not wireless charging. For the battery, without gaming, you can have a SoT between 4-5hrs, more with optimisation and maybe a custom kernel.

5. I haven't the NVIDIA pen. But for the official cover, I can say that it's a good cover, very useful.

6. I have read that the Dualshock 4 can be paired simply by bluetooth with touching 3 boutons on the controller. For the Dualshock 3, you need Sixaxis.

7. With the Marshmallow update, you can use youd SD Card as a internal memory. So, your apps can be installed directly on this.
