what the text in android-info.txt means

I looked at the contents and saw there number of entries

that didn't appear in the earlier versions (for other phones).

I wondered what they, (the new added commands),

meant and if it's just that the newer bootloader needs

more info?

I couldn't find any references to the contents

of android-info.txt in google except people

saying the bootloader couldn't find

android-info.txt in zips that were

meant for a recovery install.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
You shouldn't post that info publicly and I'm afraid I can't do that for you, sorry...

Good luck!

Ok, I have the RUU files

I downloaded the file,

I renamed it: '' 0PJAIMG.zip '' in the SD CARD, then I entered the Download Mode, it tells me to press Vol +, but after it starts to update, it says this:

What should I do?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Gmoney1988:
Make sure your MID and CID are correct and then try again.

Just wasn't for sure how this works. I always forget. Can you flash this in Download Mode by putting it on your micro SD card and renaming it.

I was hoping for some assistance with installing: 3.37.605.7_OTAPkg.zip. I first had to rename it to PTT.zip in order for the 'Install from SD card' in recovery mode to recognize it. It goes to process the install with an error "package expects build fingerprint". I'm 100% stock, unrooted running Android 5.1. Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] jtommyj:
Go back and check out the first couple pages. Santod said what to name it too with otapkg or something similar in the name.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] j33zy:
I saw his comment about removing the prefix and just having it OTAPkg.zip, but 'Install from SD card' could not find it, that's when I renamed it to PTT.zip.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
Awesome job getting all these goodies out to us so fast!

Much appreciated, bro!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Worked fine for me from Internal Storage, don't know why SD Card would hvae been any different.

But I only used the internal storage method, which is all there is in stock recovery from Marshmallow forward...

No problem. :good:

Full untouched System.img is currently uploading (4+GB's) and pure stock rooted flashable rom is right behind it.

Had some family stuff to do this afternoon, or would have had it "all" up by now.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] j33zy:
Okay thank you, I'll try from internal storage next.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] vedru:
I have not been able to apply OTA-s from stock recovery on Verizon M9 without renaming the file. I copied it to the root of the SD-card and renamed it to ptt.zip and then selected update from SD-card in recovery. That worked fine. The stock recovery does not appear to have any option to choose the file to load so if you choose the SD-card it will have to be named something the recovery will automatically try.

For those having trouble getting to the Stock Recovery, you reboot the phone while holding "vol down" and "power" buttons. That will take you to download mode. There you select reboot to bootloader. That will take you to bootloader. There you choose boot to recovery. That will take you to a screen with red triangle in the middle. You wait about half a minute and then press "vol up" + "vol down" + "power" buttons simultaneously for an instant. If it does nothing, press same buttons again after 5 sec and repeat that until it takes you to recovery, May take a few tries if you're not used to doing it :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hallstevenson:
Download the firmware package (above) and Viper 4.2.1. Rename the firmware to "0PJAIMG.zip" and reboot into BOOTLOADER mode. It will find that file and install it automatically. It's a 2-step process, but automatic. The first step appears to check the multiple files. It then restarts and begins the flash/install process. It will list the files again and read "Start ui_updating" and each file above will go up to 100% or BYPASS. Wait until it tells you it's done.

When that's done, reboot into RECOVERY and flash the latest Viper.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mike.s:
It's not clear from the OP, are the "non-OTA" images rooted?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
No Red Text and Faux Locked Aboots added to post #3.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Read the 4 pages of the thread, should answer your question....if not, let me know.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mike.s:
Nope. There are 2 reference to "root", and the closest is from you, saying "Full untouched System.img is currently uploading (4+GB's) and pure stock rooted flashable rom is right behind it."

Since there's no timestamped version history of edits, it's impossible to tell if that image is forthcoming, or an important future direction. Additionally, the OP seems to be a moving target.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] aer0zer0:
excellent work [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Firmware are not roms, and are now located in Post #2.

(none of the files posted thus far are big enough to even potentially be a full rom, aside from the actual OTAPkg.zip and they are all labeled as to what they are(firmware)).

No Red Text and Faux Locked Aboots are located in Post #3.

Roms will be in the OP when they are done uploading and ready for user consumption.

Please wait until you see files listed in the OP under the ROM Downloads header.

As the OP states:

"Much more to come....just getting this started."

There are plenty of folks making use of just the firmware and OTAPkg.zip alone, to have made it worth my while to post what I could while the larger files upload.

If they aren't useful to you or you don't know what they are for, then just wait patiently for the rooted roms to be posted.

I could have just as easily waited until I had every file uploaded that I have prepared for everyone, but it makes much more sense to me and many others, to post what's ready, as it is ready.

Sorry if you find this process frustrating or confusing, but this is how I chose to spend most of my entire day today...

Again, just to clarify, the Rooted Roms will be found in the OP when ready.

Oh last thing, I will

I was asking about the differences btwn aboot / hboot

I appears there are more 'modes' with aboot.

Power off & volume up boot to HTC FTM mode

It has an option to boot to bootloader.

Bootloader has boot to

the normal system

itself

download mode

recovery mode

Download mode has all the text that was in hboot.

I'm not sure how it relates to rebootRUU mode.

to do and how to properly use them.

does your ADB/fastboot for sure work? You might try the htc_fastboot version
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] 4bigana:
i tried adb for flashing recovery.

to install RUU from sdcard, in adb i should write commend:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

right?

but i cant get in, its rebooting automatically after 2-3 sec.

I'm posting here since no one replied to me in the ViperOne thread, and since I don't know where the problem is. I updated the firmware and to ViperOne 6 (nougat) at the same time, and ever since my phone has been claiming that it's roaming when it shouldn't be, and never did before. Best as I can tell anyways, it's not actually roaming (or so I pray). Any ideas what's going on? I tried downgrading from 19 to 17 on the firmware and that didn't change a thing.

Hello [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION], I am using a Verizon M9 with 3.37.605.7 which is S-OFF / UNLOCKED and has CID # 11111111; since it was imported by me to use in India on 4G/LTE GSM networks.

The firmware / ROM seems to be stock one, since the Boot Loader reports the Software Status = "Official"

The phone works fine on all GSM networks in India; but I am obviously not able to get any OTA updates since I am not on the Verizon network.

Would the Verizon official RUU for 3.37.605.19 that you have published be fine for me to use?

Or should I be using the stock RUU that you have published for 3.37.605.28; given my Bootloader & CID status?

Tried upgrading to the newly-uploaded .38 firmware. On the latest LineageOS nightly from 8/22. Firmware upgrade seemed to be successful, but the phone is now stuck on the boot animation. Let it go for over a half-hour earlier, but no luck. Tried going back to .28 firmware, but still can't get past the boot animation. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Sorry, I should have edited the android-info.txt so that it doesn't wipe.

Unfortunately you'll have to restore a backup or reflash your rom of choice.

Typically I take the firmware from non wipe RUUs.

I forgot that the last one I used as my resource for this, is a full wipe RUU.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Will update the modified firmware files when I return home from work out of town...

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Disappoionted, but I appreciate the fast reply. Just tried reflashing the latest Lineage in TWRP, but I'm getting errors right off the top. Failed to mount '/cache' and Failed to mount '/carrier'. Any idea on THAT?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Those errors should be irrelevant.

Could try rebooting to recovery, wipe and try again if it's not actually flashing...

I used the firmware myself and was able to flash an update to my Nougat port without any issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Wiped and and reflashed. Now only getting Failed to mount '/carrier'. Sitting on boot animation now and hoping...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Did full wipe multiple times. Tried flashing just Lineage, Lineage + root, Lineage + gapps, different combos--never gets past boot animation.

Still get Failed to mount '/carrier' every time for everything in TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Don't know, Lineage issue?

No idea, as I can flash roms fine.

RUU and start over, is my suggestion of first flash something more standard for the device, like stock rooted...

Twrp has never mounted /carrier.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
I'll try that. Thanks for the advice.

And, if you don't mind because I've been without a phone for over 12 hours, can you please tell me the shorthand version of what I'll need to do after the .19 RUU? Does that put me back to stock, and then I have to downgrade to .7 firmware or whatever it was, to Sunshine back to root and S-OFF to install TWRP and then Lineage?

Or do I not have to go through that entire process?

I know this information is elsewhere, but you've been so good to me so far. I appreciate you taking the time to work with me on this issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Once you're s-off, it stays that way through RUUs and any other flashing process.

You'd have to issue a specific fastboot command to turn security back on again, so that's not a concern.

After flashing the RUU and booting once, I'd simply reflash whatever rom you wish to flash.

Then I'd just sit tight with that firmware, until I get a chance to repost the .38 without wiping.

Root is something that comes with a custom rom, not something that's persistent between flashes.

So flashing a rooted rom after the RUU, is all that's needed to be done.
