Thank you, thank you, thank you for that! Gonna get started shortly.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
I hope you weren't holding your breath, but I just wanted to let you know we are back up and running.

You went above and beyond in helping me get back to a working state. You could've just told me to read the other pages, that it's already been discussed a million times, but you didn't, and I appreciate that.

Thanks for all your help and I'm looking forward to checking out the .38 no-wipe firmware!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Question about the no red text aboots. I had done this when I first got my M9. After all my problems the other day, I am back on .19 firmware. There is not a .19 aboot. Can I flash any of the other ones?

Then my secondary concern. Say I were to flash a .19 aboot. What happens when I update the firmware to the .38? Do they always have to match?

I wouldn't want to get screwed by flashing a, say, .19 aboot and then screwing it up by updating the firmware and having a mismatch.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
They should always match, or else you risk issues as severe as potentially bricking your device.

A new firmware version will always have a new aboot and will replace the current one.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Do you need to add these 2 steps to your NoRedText aboot instructions in post #3?

It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:

fastboot flash zip filename_aboot.zip

I remembered from doing the RUU that you had to flash a second time. I got the "did not finish, flush again" message just now flashing the .19 aboot that someone else created. Flashed a second time and it was successful.

using ice 559 rom unlocked s-off- Verizon- do i need to be using a stock rom to update my firmware to

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Wait until I get a chance to update them....then it won't matter.

Right now they are FULL WIPE only!

I will try and do it tomorrow.

Works been crazy!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:

is there a .38 No Red Text Aboots i didnt see it no real big deal tho either way it can wait if not-Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Can you give us any hints, santod?

And if you are able to, I would also appreciate the no red text aboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Haha. I know it isn't Nougat Firmware for the Verizon One M9. Lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
It's a stretch of hopefulness here, but I noted on 3.37.605.28 that "Check for system update" gave you a warning if your battery was less than 50%

with 3.37.605.38, it now warns that battery is less than 75% charged.

Perhaps knowing that a larger than standard OTA update is on the way.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Hey santod, any updates?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] neutronjeff:
The Nougat OTA hit me just now! Nice.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
How about that... ;)

Thank you for all you do for the M9! Any chance of a no red text aboot?

or suggest you put that specific

p.s.

I answer it alone, ok ok I put the first and now I have updated the firmware and I use the rom I like THANK YOU!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Probably a really stupid question..... I can't seem to get my phone into RUU mode to flash firmware. It's been awhile since I've updated firmware. I've tried with my fastboot files and the fastboot files in the first post (HTC_fastboot). I have some decent experience with ADB but every time I try to attempt this command, nothing happens. It says "waiting on device" and nothing happens. I've put my phone in Download Mode and Bootloader Mode. I don't remember it being this difficult. I am currently on a custom rom. I haven't tried flashing the stock rom. I didn't think that mattered but maybe I missed this somewhere. I haven't tried the SD card method yet....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Download mode is sufficient...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Hmm.. I've tried download mode over anything. It doesn't go into RUU mode with the commands. . Weird.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Let me try this again:

Download mode is RUU Mode.

You're already there, just fastboot flash the zip in Download Mode....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Sorry, I thought there was another screen, similar to when I reset modem_st1. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
You have download mode and fastboot mode/bootloader.

That's it. (well, that and recovery mode)

Older HTC devices would go into that black screen with white HTC logo, which was RUU mode.

Since M9 and newer, you now have Download Mode more or less instead of.

Simple misunderstanding, since my instructions could use an update for this phone, since it's mainly copy paste from my older HTC threads.

Anyhow, hopefully you're all squared away now...?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Is there anyone that can do no red text on boot?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
That's not something I would look for just anywhere personally.

It's the quickest and easiest way I've seen people brick their phones.

One bad edit it or a wrong aboot and your device is done.

Just saying, I wouldn't be so eager....

If and when I get the chance, I'll make, test, and post one.

Just hasn't been a real priority of mine lately, due to the potential issues that it can cause and lack of free time.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Tommydorns:
Understood... there used to be a different person doing that I thought. I could be wrong. Thanks again .
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] starskyrob:
Hey all. I'm unable to get OTA update as I'm on straight talk. Furthermore, the htc sync app tells me there is an upgrade available but stops downloading at 1%. I don't have s-off yet. Is their any full signed RUU for nougat yet?

Thanks my friend! Been a while since I've been back on xda and it's dope to see the community still so alive.

Edit: successful flash of RUU on two devices

This should hold me over until I figure out how to use a Java chip.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
Here's one I did for myself just now. I had to do the fastboot flash twice, but it went fine on my M9 using [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] 's rooted rom and firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] SuperFrancis:
After putting the firmware and rom all works fine but the GPS only device does not hook up the satellites. I would try to do a FULL WIPE and put RUU what do you think?

I use the phone in ITALY with VODAFONE and the rest works
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] takota6:
It's been awhile since I've needed a fix for GPS issues but a recommendation would be an apps with Gps Fix
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] SuperFrancis:
I tried many FIX apps but none solved the problem, I suspect it is a hardware problem

I followed the online guides but nothing

thanks for the answer, if you have an app in particular different from the usual ones point it to you

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] gameoven:
What state should the phone be in the for the software to recognize it? It seems to me like this method requires the phone to be in the OS already, at least that is what verizons page says.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] maksimreder:
[MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] is there an updated version of this ROM to patch the KRACK vulnerability? Andoid patch level is up to April 1,2017 or does this version already have this patched
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
This device has reached EOL from HTC/Verizon.

The Krack vulnerability wasn't patched from Google until November.

Nothing prior to that has Krack patched...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] maksimreder:
Ahh Fair Enough, time to look into LOS potentially, but I really like the SenseUI.

NoRedText ABOOT... Will this work on an M9 with Lollipop 1.33.605.15?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
A modified aboot should only be flashed on top of the same version of aboot/firmware.

So no, I haven't posted any from that far back...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] RuLEoF2:
Ok. Thanks for the quick reply... and thank you for your work.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] RuLEoF2:
One more question if you don't mind.

If I'm on 3.37.605.28 and flash the modified aboot of the same version, will the aboot be replaced with a "RedText" version if I update the firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Did you actually verify the md5 of the zip file you downloaded, or just downloaded twice and never checked it?

Your Error codes look like a corrupt zip image...no others have reported such.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ZippyDan:
Ya, my googling of the error made me think it was caused by a corrupt image, but I verified the MD5 hash as 50727017aa2383bab5b44d3eaf29c78b, which is the same as what is shown on the androidfilehost.com download page.

Now I'm wondering if maybe it was a bad cable or something? I didn't think of that at the time.

Anyway now it seems maybe too late, as my phone is completely non-responsive. It doesn't even seem to want to charge (no lights, and it doesn't get warm while connected to the charger). I tried holding down Power + Vol Up and Power + Vol Down for several minutes and nothing. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] RuLEoF2:
Try this. Go to post #1 of this thread and download the fastboot/adb zip. I tried flashing the RUU using an older htc_fastboot and it failed like yours. I used the one from the download and it worked. Worth a shot.

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-one-m9/general/official-ruu-1-33-605-15-t3137397
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ZippyDan:
Ya, that may be another possibility. I used the fastboot from here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 which seems to be from January 6, 2017.

Then I tried the htc_fastboot from the very thread we are in right now, which seems to be from April 10, 2015.

The problem now is, my phone won't even power on... :crying:

Edit: I compared the checksums of the htc_fastboot file in the version I got from this thread and the version in your thread and they seem to be the same versions from April 10, 2015, so I guess that wasn't the problem...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Beginning to think you were running unsigned firmware on a device which was s-off but bootloader LOCKED maybe?

Was it truly a Verizon device? What was the CID and MID?

Without being able to see what the output of "fastboot getvar all" is, or any previous information about the device, what state it was in prior, what firmware was on it before, etc,..

it's hard to know exactly what transpired.

160 Downloads of that exact file = No other reported issues
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ZippyDan:
Well, since I can't get the phone to turn on (any tips for that?), I can't definitively answer all your questions, but I can tell you this:

1. The back of the phone has the Verizon logo

2. I had to use Sunshine to get it to S-OFF

3. Not sure whether the bootloader was locked, but then wouldn't I get a different error?

3b. Furthermore, I was already rooted and running a custom ROM (Venom's Viper One 4.3.0). Isn't that impossible without an unlocked bootloader?

4. The phone would always complain that I wasn't using a Verizon SIM card (though it still worked with many international SIMs)

5. I'm not implying that there is anything wrong with the file - I just want to get my phone working :crying:

Additional questions:

1. Was my use of "fastboot reboot bootloader" instead of "fastboot reboot-bootloader" a problem?

2. If the bootloader was locked, why is my phone dead now?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ZippyDan:
So, in the end it seems my problem was (likely) caused by a bad USB port, not a bad file or cable.

I think this because, after my HTC One m9 was bricked, I had to fall back to an older phone - a Samsung Galaxy E5 (SM-E500H). I went about trying to root and update this phone to a custom ROM.

In so doing I found that the custom ROM that I was copying to the SD card kept failing to flash in TWRP with a "bad zip file" error. This was suspiciously reminiscent of the problems I had had with flashing the m9 firmware. I verified that the md5 of the download was good. This meant that there was (likely) a problem with copying the ROM file to the SD card.

I changed the USB port I was using (on the same computer) and copied the file to the SD card again and voila, it flashed just fine from TWRP.

I believe it is the USB port because I am using an (older) Asus laptop, and it has two USB ports on the left side and one USB port on the right side. The lone USB port on the right side is USB 2.0, while the two USB ports on the left side are USB 3.0, so I'm certain they are using a different controller.

I also believe it is the port because (and I'm beating myself up over this as well), memories suddenly came flashing back to me that this computer did have a problem with one of the ports corrupting data. How could I be so stupid? Well, I have three laptops here at home, but for the past three years I have mainly been using a MacBook. I also haven't done any messing around with Android phones in probably three or four years as well. I just switched to this Asus PC temporarily to do all this custom ROM stuff because it is so much easier on Windows than on Mac. So, long story short, I hadn't used this laptop in so long that I simply forgot about the potential issue, and now I have suddenly remembered, but too late.

Now I have two more problems to fix:

1. Can I fix this bad USB port (which seems to work for many things, but also has some subtle corruption issues)? Well, this is not the right forum for that question.

2. Is there any way I can unbrick my HTC One m9? I read some stuff about Riff boxes being able to do unbricking via JTAG, but the latest HTC model I saw referenced was an m7. Is there some service where I can send this phone to get unbricked and pay a reasonable fee?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] veeeeeeeeee:
I have a vzw m9 Can i go from from marshmellow i think .17 or .28 to nougat, i am s off rooted on a custom rom, i would like to update but i am outside the u.s. how would i go about doing that? Simply ruu in fastboot then rom and thats it? Also we dont have verizon here it is all gsm will i have to find new radio? If so could you point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] DaveedDB:
Well I just got a used M9 and it was on 3.37 fw s-off and bootloader unlocked I just downloaded the RUU and put it on my SD renamed it and in recovery OT found it and installed easy but as I said I used RUU therefore everything was deleted but didn't matter to me since it was new to me maybe you should back up your storage then RUU as for the radios I was searching for a way to flash them as well but apparently the partitions for gsm and cdma on the m9 are so different you can't flash or shouldn't try to flash different radios but if you find anything let me know
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Mac8088:
I am from Greece and i just bought from ebay an htc m9. It has Nougat 4.49.605.11 version (Verizon). Every time it starts it shows the message "Sim card isn't from Verizon Wireless", but all other things work well. Can i flash this:

0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_3.35.401.12_Radio_01.01_U11440792_97.00.51203G_F_release_signed.zip

or will i ruin phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
you cant flash GSM based radios on a Verizon phone

well, you can try, but you risk a brick.

my understanding is that the partitions are different, and for sure the radio is different
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Mac8088:
Thanks for quick reply!

As you can see i don't know much about android phones otherwise i wouldn't bought that verizon phone to use it in my country.

Brick is something permanent or can i reflash the older zip (verizon) if something goes wrong with the european version?

And what about radio difference? Are there different m9's? Isn't only software? There is harware difference too?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
Brick means a likely dead phone.

yes , there are hardware differences.

Verizon radio is CDMA and GSM , I believe any euro will only be GSM
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Mac8088:
Thanks once again for your responce!

I think I will not take the risk...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VladTepess:
Hello, i'm on 3.37.605.7, the cell is new. Can i apply this update from download mod without errors? I really don't want a soft brick o bootloop.

thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VladTepess:
My phone is with bootloader LOCK, S-ON, i mean, is totally new. Android 6, V3.37.605.7 (verizon mobile). I'm not gonna lie to you, i'm scared for brick. It is mandatory to format the sd-card in fat32?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
You don't need to format anything.

But any data you want saved, you should back up.

You are s-on.

Just flash the RUU.

Bricking while s-on/locked is pretty difficult to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VladTepess:
It's what i thought, trying flashin this kind of zip can't brick the phone if fail, right? I mean, in case of fail, the flash it will cancel and then i have my original rom again.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VladTepess:
Last question, this RUU version works on CID VZW__001 and MID 0PJA30000?

Sorry if a bother, but i need to know this just for be sure. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ElConedeTJ:
I'm S-On and Locked Bootloader and flashed the Signed RUU and it worked fine, it takes a while and a few reboots so be patient.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VladTepess:
OK, i finally did it. Now i have Nougat on my verizon htc one m9 and it works just great. Thanks santod040 for the time and thanks to ElConedeTJ too.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Janat106:
Any mirror, that I downloaded from gives me corrupted file. Does anyone have other working file?

thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
It's not corrupted, it's an encrypted and signed RUU.

You don't extract it...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Janat106:
For example phone doesn't see sd card, so I flashed with Wizard_RUU and it gives me this
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
The RUU is fine.

If you're having sd card issues, then something is wrong with your sd card, or it needs to be reformatted.

But that is on your end, not an issue with the official RUU.

I've flashed it and so have others, even those who are s-on.

I'm not sure what wizard you're referring to, but he isn't a very smart one and shouldn't be used for flashing this file.

Are you sure you're even flashing the correct RUU for your device model?

This is the Verizon m9 forum...might wanna make sure you're even trying to flash the proper file for your device.

Good luck!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Janat106:
Is the there is alternative methods to flash without sd card?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
Post #2 has instructions for flashing from your computer using a cable. I don't believe I have ever flashed using an SD card

edit: I assumed you were asking about the RUU since you quoted a question regarding the RUU
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Janat106:
I have S-On and Boot locked
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mikeataol:
RUU-s can be applied to any device S-ON or S-OFF

they are a complete reload of the phone.

read the first few posts
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Janat106:
Yes, I understood that signed ruu can be flashed with s-on and s-off, but the question was "is there alternative ways to flash ruu without sd"
