Okay.

I'm a noob too. But basically you need a recovery software (I prefer TWRP and the newest version is 3.0.2-0) in that you install the rom, kernel and supersu (unless you will use the build in root system or prefer another app for that)

Then you reboot the device and... BOOM CM13 nightly.
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
So how is the audio situation these days? And is the phone's data partition browsable from a computer yet?
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
The audio is loud but I don't know of the computer data thing [emoji28]
[HTC One A9] megatomic:
Is the audio quality good and loud or just loud?
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
It depends on the music. Some times its good other is bad. But do never go full volume.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
I have TWRP 3.0.2 and use SuperSU. Are you say I have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM?
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
I presume you are on a S-ON device?

I have been told (not sure if it's right but better to be on the safe side) that you have to flash the kernel seperatly on a S-ON device because the S-ON security blocks for the kernel installation under the ROM install.

If some one knows more about it please tell because it would be nice to know if it right or wrong and why it's like that.
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
That hasn't been true for years.
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Sweet. And sorry.. My bad..

i have to say I honesty don't know because all my HTC devices are rotted, S-OFF and selinux is deactivated.

But I have been told that it was like that but now I see I have to study this some more soon to have the right info.

And again sorry for the misinformation.
[HTC One A9] MGfusion:
I can say that this isn't true, because I'm s-on and I flashed this ROM no problem
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Well.. You learn every day. And after only 2 months in this I have a lot to learn about working with Android devices [emoji4]
[HTC One A9] loner.:
This is my first HTC device. I can't find a guide of the basics on this phone or a how to:

S-off or S-on. So I a guessing here that I would have to unroot the device and put a RUU file on my ext-sdcard put the phone in download mode and use the device upgrade to somehow get S-off.

But then again it's mostly guess work. I hope to find a guide of sorts on how to turn S-off step by step so I don't make a brick.

The only info I have googled so far on S-off for HTC is a very informative pros and cons of doing it at all.
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Why do you want it S-OFF??
[HTC One A9] loner.:
This is a quote from a article by Aatif Khan.

In a nutshell, S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.

Full article here:

[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Get the sunshine app and pay 25$ and you are S-OFF but on your own risk.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
I prefer to learn how to do it myself.
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
That's the only way as I know it atm.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
Unrevoked is another it seems. It's in the link I added a couple of post earlier. It's another program that I am reading about now.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
I have always felt that it is incumbent upon posters to have read the thread in its entirety before posting. A thread is a conversation, and as in a verbal conversation, it is rude to enter it late without at least listening for a while and thus avoid repetitive derailing of it. It would be nice if some of you would follow this guideline.

Specifically, S-ON & S-OFF have been discussed to death on this thread and others. There is in fact an article on it if interested parties would care to search a bit. Also, it has been covered that S-OFF is not needed to revert to earlier ROMs - with a link just 4 pages ago.

Please stop being lazy; read and search before posting. Really.

Greg
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
You don't need to be S-OFF to mess around with costum stuff on the HTC One A9.

It's more if you want to mess around with hardware based information.

There's more info on it earlier in the tread.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
You actually contribute nothing positive. I have searched the whole forum and still have questions. That is what the XDA is about IMO and it has not been discussed to death. What hit and run info on here I found is lacking.

Only a tool would call me lazy!
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
Then try start a dedicated tread for S-ON/S-OFF instead of asking for the info in a thread about CM13?

just a thort when it's to defend things.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
I think it is a very positive contribution to teach people etiquette for using a forum. The repetitive asking of the same questions is quite annoying to the folks that are trying to be helpful.

You (loner) have asked about how to achieve S-ON and S-OFF. There are multiple mentions that the only way known to do it is to pay for the Sunshine app. You clearly didn't search for it in the A9 forum. End of story. It has also been covered in the past few pages that it isn't needed to get CM13 installed - so I know you haven't read the recent posts. Yes this is the place to ask questions, but first read what is already here and try to answer them yourself. Otherwise you are just being lazy and rude - no other way to say it. And no, this wasn't just directed at you, but if the shoe fits...

Greg
[HTC One A9] loner.:
I started with a simple comment about it and the nightly post. #676. It grew into what this is.
[HTC One A9] jjakajonas:
I meant if loner wanted to go in deep on the S-ON/S-OFF topic and to the more detailed stuff like if you would develop something for TWRP then you go there with to a dedicated tread on that and not here Fx.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

It was just an idea to you if you want to know more in deep instead of filling this tread up whit this topic and make it more visual for others there know of it or want to know more on the topic.

No hate from me. Just an idea to help you a bit.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
Back off Tool, you don't know what I've researched and the subject was dropped.

I have read the multiple mention on S-on dude or miss dude. That is why I was wandering why no one has put it together in a guide. If you truly read what was going on you might know this.

Are you just a trouble maker or just in need of attention?
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
One way to know that a person has no good arguments is when they start calling names: it is called an ad hominem attack, reserved for political hacks and childish folks.

If you want a guide on S-ON then find the ones that exist (they do) or research and contribute one of your own. Don't mess up this thread.

And in that spirit I have no more to say to you on this thread - back to CM13.

Greg
[HTC One A9] loner.:
You have already messed up this thread. Like I said you don't know me so your opinion means less than nothing. Now maybe we can get something constructive done. As I said before the subject was done, you just try to keep it going for attention. So don't go away mad just go.....

Will the firmware problem ever get fixed? Can't find anything in cmxlog..
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
I have returned to CM13. Glad to see the sound issue fixed. I flashed the 5/12 build and the sound it great, I don't even think I need to delete the libs (although I will try, and see if that improves the slight flaws). But I have a question, why don't Titanium back ups appear when u flash a new ROM? My backups from my Sense ROM don't appear, as if I've never made any backups. Not sure if this is a known issue or not. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance. GOOD Job guys.
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
Although very much improved since February, local music playback skips when pressing and swiping. Also, does anyone know why the sound is low when recording snapchat videos? The sound is near normal with everything except snapchat. Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One A9] djsubtronic:
To fix the skipping audio, turn off system wide "OK Google" detection, and also in Nova launcher if you use it.

Do you have the US Unlocked edition or the European model? I have the US unlocked version and when I updated to the May 19th nightly via Cyanogenmod's OTA tool Google Play Services kept crashing every 2-5 seconds. I cleanly flashed the flashable zip and the Gapps multiple times but the results were the same every time. The set-up wizard even crashed a few times freezing the whole phone and I had to hard reset. I flashed v79-xposed as well so maybe that was the issue. I also had a blackout theme active.

I'm flashing the May20th nightly right now. Hopefully this will be better.

But I have experienced the same issue as you describe a few times before. But that was due to a failure flash.

All I did was to format the device, reflashed CM, gapps, supersu and expose and then the device was up and running again.

I still don't know the reasons to the errors on my device. All I know is if I reflash my device from scratch whit the failed zip file it works.

Dear All,

something is completly sucked up when using boot password (not PIN). I've skipped some updates the last weeks, now i going backward what is working for me. When the boot password mask appears, i can type some chars, then i see a crazy overlay (the top android bar which is usualy not visible at this time) when pressing a letter. I can not start the phone anymore because it is not possible to type in the password. Tried 23 and now 22, both containing this bug. Going for 21.

Good, 21 seems not to have this bug. It seems to be since 22 in the image.

This is the 22 change log, can there be a connection with > "SysUI: Add first time use lock screen hints (android_frameworks_base)" ?

According to the changelog encryption was forced as of 826 nightly. As a result I can't seem to make anything in TWRP recovery. The Flash the newest version of the recovery and it wouldn't Mount at all. I resorted to flashing the latest CM nightly recovery and it will mount, unfortunately it still won't allow me to have access to my SD card while in recovery. Is anyone else having this problem? And also does anyone have any idea why encryption was forced? There's no explanation I can find in the commit message. Thanks
[HTC One A9] loner.:
You are right. I am not a fan of forced encryption, twrp isn't either. I am restoring the ROM to a earlier backup. If you choose to restore to a earlier backup, remember to do a factory wipe first to get ext4 back on the partition.

Which recovery are you using? I'm on TWRP 3.0.2.0 and it isn't working.

UPDATE: I can access the memory card but not the internal data, I believe it's encrypted but I don't know how to decrypt it.
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
I'm currently using cm recovery. It's not working for me for the time being either. Since 8/26 nightly encryption has been forced and I haven't downgraded yet. If you flashed the latest nightly I'm sure that has something to do with it. I'd suggest flashing an older version. Maybe 8/13 or 8/22. Should work on either.
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
How about the microphone distortion? The microphone doesn't record as clearly as stock. I'm getting a lot of background noise when I record videos via snapchat and the camera app. I'm complaining because I use snapchat a lot and it's useless without a clear microphone. That alone caused me to go back to stock, but I'm really liking the new updates to CM, and I'd love to fix the recording. Anybody have any fixes , if not, where do I go to officially report the issue to the CM team? I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done to get this fixed.
[HTC One A9] loner.:
You noticed your current problems around the time you flashed the nightly that forced encryption correct? I for one wish they do away with it.
[HTC One A9] ValdOr7:
Same problem for me :'( why they forced encryption ? ^^' anyone solved this without restore backup ?
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
Not that I know of. Other than a clean flash.

Do a factory reset

Flash data (it will warn you it will remove encryption)

Put Gapps & older version of cm on the SD (I used 8/13/16) if you flash anything after 8/25/16 it will force encryption.

Install and set the phone up like new.
[HTC One A9] ValdOr7:
yeah i understand but i don't want to do a factory reset xD why they put that ? i cant flash exposed :'(
[HTC One A9] loner.:
If you have a backup, all you have to do is a factory wipe with twrp to remove encryption and restore the backup you made previously with twrp.

Everyone knows you should have a good backup for this very reason.
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
If by "current problems" you're referring to the microphone distortion, no. Every build I've flashed since January has had this issue and I've been trying to figure it out but I always just end up going back to stock. I wonder if [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] knows how to solve the issue.
