I really wonder why some people still talk about overheating problems ! It was resolved a long time ago after the first few updates by HTC.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faisal Alro8y:
Thanks man. so only weakness for this device is the camera performance and how about battery after 6.0M ? is it better?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elixir_:
The camera isn't that bad to be honest, it just doesn't reach the level of some other flagships such as the Galaxy S6 and the G4 (especially in low-light conditions). For the battery life, most of the m9 owners have noticed an improvement after the 6.0 update. I'm currently running a custom rom (ViperOne 4.2.1) and you can see my battery stats in the attached screen cap.

The heat issues still exist. Regardless of what people say, they just don't use, or should i say "abuse", the device enough.

That said, my phone has never overheated and switched off.

The camera leaves a bit to be desired. Choppy framerate and noise are the norm in picture mode but video is smooth and clear.

Boomsound is what sells this phone. It hasn't been beaten to this day for quality.

Would you recommend the M8 over the M9 even when they are att the same price level? I have a M8 myself today but I'm thinking about upgrading a family member from One S to a M9. At least here in my area they are about the same price (M8 16 GB vs M9 32 GB).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam_davenport:
M8 is an amazing device, but M9 sucks period it's my biggest regret in life won't buy a HTC device after this if you want an expensive heater and device with no support for months then go for it 401 variant didn't get an update since July last year... we just got the MM update and it still had it's issues, I've had lots of build quality issues, saw other people with the same issues and even people on xda who're on their 3rd+ M9 :eek: camera software sucks the sensor is great but you just can't get a good picture from it, I replaced my M9 with an Nexus 6 and never looked back now just got a nexus 6P and it blew me away how great is it if that device is an option for you go for that you won't be disappointed To me the M9 feels like a mid-range with flagship pricing
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:
Another +1 for the 6P honestly don't bother with the M9, I'm an HTC guy through and through, look at my signature for device history. The M8 was my favourite device to date, fantastic battery life, blazing performance, decent cameras (especially in low light). The M7 was also pretty amazing but the M9 in my opinion is a downgrade from the M8, camera in any low light situations is absolutely awful, battery life is poor, got far less SOT with the M9 than I did with the M8. I really hope the M10 is decent because HTC can't afford another release like the M9. The software support has gone down hill with the M9 too, they updated the M8 quite consistently but the M9 took forever to get marshmallow! I had the nexus 4 a few years ago and went straight back to HTC because I missed sense, I missed the features, (stock android wasn't as polished back then). Absolutely love my 6P, first non HTC phone I've owned in years and it's slowly becoming my favourite all time device, camera is fantastic, low light performance is incredible! Battery life is also very impressive, the device is obviously a lot bigger so consider if a phablet is going to be a comfortable size for you but if size isn't an issue I'd chose the 6P anyday of the week. Had the M9 from launch up until November so in that time I put it through its paces! Although a small feature, the finger print sensor is a fantastic little piece of hardware, it's so much faster than unlocking with a code or pattern. The thing is, the M9 isn't a bad phone, but considering the fact its a HTC & was released in 2015 I was expecting so much more!

Thanks I own now two devices and i will pick M9 anytime. 6p microphone sound so so weak comparing to M9 and stereo speakers more clear on M9 HANDS DOWN!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkR91:
Hi,

I've seen a few threads here about flashing unbranded firmware, I have a Telstra branded (Australian) Z5C . I want to know if I can use the flashtool to flash an unbranded firmware WITHOUT unlocking my bootloader or voiding my warranty in any way. Can someone confirm that I can do this?

Long story short I don't want to wait for Telstra to "optimise" Marshmallow for 6 months before I get the update. I would like to be able to get it as soon as sony releases it.

Any help appreciated, Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash an official firmware. Plus, if you want warranty, you can flash back the telstra firmware when needed
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MAGIo18:
I have already tried almost all BIOS versions even with Flash programmer attached to the tablet, but I end up in a bootloop every time. When accessing the BIOS Setup it seems to be right, but I can't save any configuration, nor do I see the attached flashdrive.

Originally it used to be an Android only Air iii without 3g (C5Jx), after installing Mireks Rom it was running ok first, then I started tinkering around with Dual Boot a couple of weeks ago.

What am I doing wrong? I can't even get back to the ANDROID only state, since it won't boot. If I install with Mireks Installer, it ends up the same.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] blackbile:
You should flash the original BIOS first, it will show that the tablet working fine yet or not.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] MAGIo18:
The only dual BIOS I can flash (with or without EEPROM Flasher) is version 1.00

As soon as I try another higher version it either stays in a bootloop or seems to be hardbricked without any functionality.

Is it a common issue with M5C5 (32GB)?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypking:
Ok so I posted in another thread where I was trying to flash a custom but a few things went wrong but help has been slow there so I thought it may be better to post here.

I got MM through OTA updates, this was when my M9 was bootloader LOCKED, not custom recovery, everything stock. After I was on MM for a few days I used htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader, then I got TWRP 3.0.0 and then I got SuperSU 2.65 and installed it through TWRP. Before installing SuperSU I made a backup through TWRP of Boot, System and Data. I copied this backup to my computer as well. At this point this is the current information on the M9 (Look at 3 attached screenshots as well):

kernel: lk

product: htc_himaulatt

version: 1.0

version-main: 3.38.1500.2

boot-mode: download

version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_96.01.51207G_F

version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000

mid: 0PJA11000

cid: GLOBA001

So after creating the backup, I installed SuperSU 2.65, then booted up the phone, everythings fine. So I went back to TWRP and installed Android Revolution HD 20.0 (had it on an sd card) and used the wipe data option it gives before installing. So after a long time of optimizing apps the phone boots up and starts the setup. I got to entering google account information and it asked for 2 step verification which sends a code to my phone number, but I then noticed I had no signal and it said No Service so I couldn't sign in to Google and had to skip that. After the rest of the setup I popped out the SIM and put it back, still nothing (keep in mind the SIM is locked with a pin if that affects anything, but it never even asked for the pin).

Now I go to Accounts and try adding my google account but the phone gets stuck at checking info... and while i can use the rest of the phone there is no way for me to sign into any google account now because every attempt results in checking info loop. I tried to reboot the phone multiple times but that did nothing. Last thing to note is that when i went to Settings -> About, there was no IMEI number as well as other information about the phone was missing so something went wrong for sure.

After that I restored from the TWRP backup and its back to normal, SIM working, Google acc working, all that is good like it was before. So any suggestions on how to get ARHD 20 now? I noticed that since I'm on 3.38.1500.2 which is higher than the firmware that ARHD uses, maybe that is the problem since I'm essentially downgrading the firmware right? I read that you can't downgrade firmware unless you are S-off but my M9 is S-on. All help is appreciated :)

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Instead of twrp 3, use 2.9.0.1 and then flash supersu 2.65.

The problem lies with twrp. Supersu has its own issues so only 2.65!

ONLY TWRP 2.9.0.1 AND SUPERSU 2.65 FOR MM HTC M9! YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ISSUES OTHERWISE!

S-off is worth paying for too.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypking:
Yea SuperSU 2.65 I understand but I heard 2.9.1.2 is quite stable? You don't agree?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypking:
Just wanna update my situation as it is resolved and the solution: S-OFF

I was on 3.38 with twrp 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65 and flashing ARHD 20.0 (which is on 3.35) was messed up as my SIM card wasn't working and signing into Google account was not working.

I restored my nandroid backup, installed SuperSU 2.65 again and then bought S-OFF, which allowed me to change my cid to HTC__001 and mid to 0PJA10000. Next i flashed a nandroid that someone uploaded of 3.35.401.12 and once that was done I flashed ARHD 20.0 and boom its done. Basically from what I understand you can't flash ARHD 20.0 if the firmware you are on is lower (i failed to go from 3.38 to 3.35). Also my SKU was 1500 but ARHD is 401 so that might be a factor as well. So yea S-OFF is great :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
Future Note.

Always try to stick with the general update the ROM is based off of. The System partition in STOCK/CUSTOM roms have a firmware folder that have drivers and config files that are meant to be used with the firmware.zip originally in that update.

For example (not real sw numbers)

HTC releases an official update 3.40.1540.1

3.40.XXXX.X is generally the base while X.XX.1540.1 is any software mods made by carriers or specific region teams. Firmware Updates (Radio Baseband, TouchScreen Driver, etc) are released along side the actual Android/HTC software. These official ROMS have config files that are design around this new firmware. When developers here on XDA make custom roms they are in a weird XDA way a carrier (3.40.ARHD.1 etc). They modify the HTC rom and make it their own, but their roms are still based off that firmware update.

So if you start using a custom rom based off 3.40, but the last firmware your phone installed is 3.10. You will run into issues and they might be small (less battery life or cell signal) or pretty big. Your sim not working, or wifi, or any number of issues. Stick to ROMS based off the firmware you have on your phone. Or if youre S-OFF and want to take that ever present risk. Update your firmware to that newer version.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ig88b1:
Can you go into a little more detail? I am S-off and unlocked. I upgraded to the latest Tmobile MM and then flashed ARHD and got the sim error/no signal. you changed your CID and MID? where did you get the MM nandroid from?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypking:
Yea if you go to settings -> about -> software information it should say your firmware version. If your version is NOT 3.35 you'll get this problem, here are the nandroid files, you only need the 3.35 one but if I understand correctly restoring from this nandroid might make you lose all data. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48820

ALSO that nandroid is for 401 SKU which is HTC WWE, so if you're locked to tmobile i dont know how that'll affect you so dont just restore to that nandroid.

And yea i changed my CID and MID : (idk if you know but you need extra files on your pc to run the following commands from pc)

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

fastboot oem writemid 0PJA10000

fastboot reboot

I did this right before the nandroid restore and everything turned out fine.

Should i go for third party screen replacement?, have no idea how reliable that wud be, but seems the only option right now.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sufoalmighty:
I wouldn't suggest going for 3rd party replacement as the Z series has a very complicated assembly, there is a REALLY high chance that you would end up having a completly dead device
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
It should be fine to do that, as long as you make sure it's a place you can trust; make sure they're selling you the actual original display unit, rather than a Chinese knock off. I've had mine replaced twice, and the phone always worked fine afterward. The display is quite delicate, though; after the third shatter, I replaced the phone itself, because it was more cost efficient. [emoji13]

No, you can upgrade firmwares, so MM will be fine, but from what I remember with that model, and a few other S5s, you can not downgrade due to the bootloader being locked once you update to Lollipop

If I take the LP ota update and then root, would I be able to flash KK roms or just LP roms?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painiac:
Never, under any circumstances, take an OTA update. Once you take an upgrade to Lollipop, you're stuck with it forever. If you instead root KK and flash a safe Lollipop ROM that doesn't update the bootloader past BOD5, you can still downgrade to KK easily.

It's easier to stick with what you have, root it, and then flash a rooted Lollipop ROM. Lollipop is now rootable, but the root process is a little hit-or-miss. Rooting KK is painless.

I had success using this KK root method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

CAUTION: The BOD5 bootloader is the last one that will allow you to downgrade back to KK. If you ever flash anything that has a BOE1, BOG5, or BOK3 bootloader, you can never go back.

You won't use these for the KK root process, but you'll need them later so save them: you want to ONLY flash these latest safe kernels and/or firmwares by jrkruse: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64744448&postcount=2
