[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
I see you replaced the file with the proper one...thanks for getting that done. I don't have a PC where I can use adb and that was the only way I could get TWRP back. I appreciate it.

I will say my full process was to downgrade the 3.37.605.7 firmware, which I must've downloaded the one that took away TWRP. I downloaded the one you fixed in the link and renamed it to 0PJAIMG.zip, and got my TWRP back. I did not do a full reboot. I felt pretty good until I flashed CandySiX-himawl-3.1-OFFICIAL-0719cmk.zip, which required the downgrade to 3.37.605.7. I got stuck on the white HTC screen for over an hour. I shut it down and rebooted to TWRP recovery and just restored my 3.37.605.13 stock backup. I have that at the moment and will be going camping later on today for the weekend so I'm content with having that for my working phone for now. :cool: I know there are a bunch of ways to mess up one's phone and I'm positive it was user error in my phone not booting up the CM rom. I just wanted to say thanks again for putting the file up and helping me get back a working recovery.

I will ask a question though (anyone can answer this): Maybe I'm downloading the wrong file to use as my RUU but the last two times I've tried this and lost TWRP, I can go to stock recovery and choose a file on my SD card to flash and it will fail. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm sure this is user error as well but I want to know what I'm doing wrong there to get a better handle on where I'm going wrong.

Also to clarify, are the firmware zip sizes fairly small? I thought the official RUU's were the size of a full rom and were close to the 2 GB size but they all look to be under 70 MB's. This must be the stock rom that goes along with the RUU and I just assumed they were both the larger size.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Firmware + Rom = RUU

Explanation of the differences are posted a couple pages back and linked at the bottom of the OP.

Rom and Firmware 101
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] android17:
Thank you for posting this & all your work. Was going to ask if RUU locks boot loader...no need now...great thread
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] thestraw0039:
Looks like there's a new OTA, surprised no one has commented on it, I thought it was me not updating something switching from Viper.

I can't post a link but the Verizon site lists Software Version:

3.37.605.17
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Have it, been busy.

The lack of action here and the fact nobody mentioned it, certainly hasn't been motivational either. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] thestraw0039:
No worries, I just switched back from Viper because I was having some issues and thought I screwed something up getting the OTA nag.

Also was shocked no one mentioned it on here, I really thought it was just me.

Just out of curiosity where do you get the actual zip? Verizons website was pretty useless.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Saved it after it downloaded.

Also have the RUU.

Will try and get things posted soon.

Unlocked m9 Nougat is incoming though...and am sure most will be looking towards that update.

If we don't suffer firmware hurdles waiting on Verizon, a port of that may just show up here real soon...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] thestraw0039:
Is the firmware zip in the OTA zip in /cache the one I want to flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
If you want to lose your rooted boot.img and your twrp Recovery.

please i am new to all this so can anyone help me figure out how to update mine? i realized my m9 is already flashed with verizon update 3.37.605.7 and it wont allow me to directly update from the main sources.....this is the new update 3.37.605.15_NoBoot_TWRP3.0.2-0_firmware.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] thestraw0039:
Are you S-off? If so see post 2, I'm guessing you are and that's why the OTA won't work. If that's the case you need to use fastboot or SD card method to flash it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ecduah:

Yes I saw the s-off what can i do
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] android17:
I don't know about others, but I didn't even see it until this post...shut off the OTA nag 1st thing after rooting[emoji1] certainly hope someone posts about it when 7 comes to Verizon...or I'll still be on mm for years.[emoji11]

[MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] Any chance we can get the 3.37.605.17 resources? I'm having an argument with my device and wanted to get a fresh start. I could probably do it with just the recovery but the RUU would do too. I'm currently working with the results of the .13 RUU, and two OTA's to bring it up to .17 but I'm still having some odd issues and didn't grab the .17 recovery before installing TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:

No worries, we're just happy there are still people around to help us out with a device that wasn't so popular. Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Exokan:
Just because I'm always hyper paranoid about this sort of stuff...

Can I get a confirmation that flashing this Firmware will not affect anything (data, apps, etc) on my ROM?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Didn't realize that the -.17 zip wasn't up. I just used TB so I'll just blindly flash when it's posted.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] veeeeeeeeee:
your a beast, dude thank you so much for your work on the vzw m9
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
Please forgive my lack of understanding on this.

I've always done the firmware / radios at the same time as a corresponding ROM....

can the firmware and the aboot be flashed without reinstalling a rom?

I ask because I see the eraseonflash(s)in the android-info.txt files....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
The whole purpose of posting them separate, is so they can be updated independent from your rom, since many users are running a custom one.

The option without boot.img and recovery won't wipe anything.

It simply makes your firmware current.

You already are on MM firmware(I assume) and this is from a minor security update.

You wouldn't want to update to let's say Nougat firmware, while still running a MM rom, but that's not the case here.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Has anybody heard anything on Verizon Nougat firmware. Are we even getting it?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Yes, but it will be after the Verizon HTC 10, which isn't quite out just yet...

I noticed this morning that firmware was updated to 3.37.605.19 on the Verizon site.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Yes it was, it was released yesterday...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Is that Nougat firmware I assume?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
No, as mentioned previously:

Verizon m9 won't see Nougat until after the Verizon 10.

Which hasn't happened yet and the first number of the version will jump one, from 3 > 4 for the m9.

The minor increase in the last version

number tells you right off that it's a small update.

It's just a December security update, just like the update the 10 just received.

No Nougat yet...

Can anyone help me with an issue I am having. I flashed the latest 3.37.605.19 firmware successfully and then downloaded the latest stock+root rom and flashed but I am having an issue with a message saying my sim card is not a Verizon sim card and also don't have any data and device setup loops when it says checking info?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Are you on the Verizon network?

If so try placing the device in fastboot and erase the modems:

fastboot erase modem_st1

fastboot erase modem_st2

Then reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Gmoney1988:
Thanks Santod I will try that I am still new to this game. Also what is the proper way to return to 100% stock. I am still a little confused on what my CID and MID should be?

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Also I made a really stupid newbee mistake and flashed a no-wipe zip for the latest Nougat which is what got me in this mess. Like I said still new to the game.:silly:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
That's why you have no data.

The latest m9 firmware for Verizon doesn't contain a radio image.

You are still running that GSM radio, despite flashing m9vzw latest firmware.

You should go back to the last all in one firmware zip I posted and flash any newer ones after.

Otherwise, just grab the last RUU posted and flash that.

You shouldn't really ever flash GSM firmware, unless you really know what you're doing or trying to do. Lucky you didn't brick.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Gmoney1988:
I tried the fastboot commands you gave and I still have no data once rebooted. I am on Verizon Network but I changed my MID and CID around when I flashed that Nougat zip.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
You should RUU your device after resetting your cid and mid.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65358513

Then OTA to current revision so that you're firmware and partitioning is fixed and all up to date.

Then go from there...

Yes, that's perfectly normal when you do things that you shouldn't. :confused:

This does not have anything to do with this thread, as I never once suggested to anyone to flash GSM firmware on their Vzw m9.

Nor did I provide any GSM firmware files in this thread.

Why are folks doing this? (no value for your device) I have no idea....but it's a bad idea in general.

Read the last few posts in this thread, with my suggestion to the last guy who did this and how to fix the issue you've created for yourself.

Want Nougat on your Verizon M9...?

THIS IS MY ONLY SUGGESTION: LINK
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] iamkorven:
well... thanks for your answer.... consider that not the entire world has born knowing as you, and the only way to learn for some people is making mistakes and creating issues for himself... maybe you valued your devices much than i... but thats not mean that i cant try to learn even if learning means hard bricking my phone...

anyways, thank you...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
I wasn't born with any android knowledge...I read and ask questions when I don't know something.

I don't just dive in head first, without doing some research before hand.

Especially when I know that the potential risk is hard bricking a $600+ device.

There are certainly easier ways to learn, then to repeat mistakes many others have already made and posted their findings about.

Anyhow, stay away from GSM RUU's, firmware, etc,...

You have a CDMA device which will not work properly on GSM firmware.

The HTC 10 which has identical hardware for GSM as it does for Verizon "can" be converted, if intended to be used on a GSM network.

It can also be converted and then used on Verizon, but not without a Verizon radio flashed on top, at the very least. (which still leaves some carrier features non-existant/non-functional.

But this is not something I would honestly recommend on any device, and certainly not on your Verizon M9.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Gmoney1988:
Aman to that Santod I will never mess with GSM ever again lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] iamkorven:

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
There seems to be a LOT of confusion, as to what purpose this thread is intended to serve.

This thread is here to provide folks with Verizon M9 firmware files and RUU's, not a how to unmuck your phone, after mucking it up thread.

These types of questions and discussions would be better suited for the Q&A section of the forum, as they have nothing to do with development or the files provided.

Perhaps a "Return to Stock" thread, if someone wishes to start one. (this isn't it)

However, I will go over this one last time...

If you are currently running something other then stock Verizon files, especially anything Nougat, you need to completely wipe before flashing a Verizon RUU.

The Verizon RUU does not wipe, so flashing it on top of almost anything else without wiping first, is of course going to bootloop.

Especially when flashing MM files on top of a Nougat base.

1.) GSM files typically should not be flashed onto a Verizon device.

2.) If you do, you didn't follow step #1.

3.) Now that your device no longer works on Vzw, you have one real solution:

- Load Twrp

- Wipe everything

- Format Data in Twrp > Type "yes" at prompt

- Flash Verizon M9 RUU from post #4

4.) Don't do it again...

5.) End of discussion

I'm not trying to be harsh, I just get tired of seeing people do things that they honestly have no knowledge about and didn't even try to understand before doing.

Then once they realize they are in over their heads, they rely on those of us who have done plenty of research and reading, to magically save them.

I can't stress enough, how important looking before you leap truly is.

Honestly though, I hope this helps. I'm not purely evil. :angel:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] chileanjoker:
im sorry if i asking in the wrong place boss, i just came here looking for help and see that some guy have exactly the same issue that i, didnt notice that the purpose of this thread was for other stuff... again, truly sorry... regards and thank you for that tips

Replied to your PM with repeated instructions, and also linked you to my "Rom and Firmware 101" post that is linked in the OP, so that you hopefully get a better understanding of what you are doing.

I'm starting to wonder if I did something wrong, or did Verizon change the way mobile data works? I'm now consistently getting the message that I don't have data while on a call, which is new to me. Is this due to "Advanced Calling" features ~ HD voice being on?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
No, that would be the opposite effect of having HD Voice enabled.

Are you sure you actually have it enabled on your Verizon account?

Aside from clearer calls(digital voice), Advanced Calling/VoLTE also allows for simultaneous voice and data.

If you've corrupted those features by flashing a rom with them broken/not working, you may need to do a modem wipe to reset them.

I am not familiar with GSM networks. As I mentioned earlier you need to understand the difference. You can try searching the HTC One M9 threads for your correct firmware version.
