[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinAdk:
Hello all,

I have a M9, with the following data (getvar all):

It was running Viper Rom, 6.0, with TWRP as recovery, and all is good. S-OFF and unlocked (still is).

I then need to return the phone to my work place, and want it to be stock, by flashing a RUU zip.

I flashed this RUU - 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.40.401.8_Radio_01.02_U11440261_60.03.50505G_F_release_435816_signed_2_4.zip - from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763869, and that did not work as expected, and now i have major issues with the phone.

What i did was to copy the zipfile to my SD (ExFAT 64GB), and renamed the ZIP to 0PJAIMG.zip. I then flashed it from download mode with VOL UP.

The flash went fairly quick, and it didnt seem right to me.

After the flash, the following things are not possible:

- Booting android (it boots straight to bootloader)

- Booting into recovery (Red text appears over the bootloader screen, saying that "Faild to boot recovery mode. Press volume up or down to back to menu" (yes, with the missing word "go" - to go back to...)

- Reacing the phone via ADB - not possible without recovery or android booting

- Flashing RUU zip from PC, after putting phone in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU). Flashing CRASHES fastboot.exe, windows says its made an error. Console output before the exe crashes:

C:\Users\Username>fastboot flash zip C:\Users\Username\Downloads\rom.zip

target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magi

The phone does not react to the command

- Flashing RUU from SD card. Download mode says SD card not mounted.

What IS possible:

- Contact phone via fastboot

- Use downloadmode and fastboot mode as expected

- Getvar all works

- I can unlock bootloader (i first locked it, then flashed the problematic RUU, and then unlocked it via a HTC Dev BIN file as usual)

I am REALLY SOL here, and i am a very experienced android user :confused:

ANY HELP is greatly appriciated. Status right now is that i will have to pay for the phone, if i cannot fix it before returning it (returning it this week!)

Kind Regards

Why the first flash was allowed to continue a bit longer, i dont know... :confused:

Could an RRU exe-file be worth a shot?

Your download looks corrupt. Bad header and a reported size of 80mb when it should be 2.4gb... Might be a good place to start..
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinAdk:
Hello Shivado,

Thank you for your input. I have verified the MD5 hash, against the site i downloaded it from, and it matches? The max download size shown in CMD, is that related to the file being flashed?

I think there is a problem with the partition layout on the phone, to be honest. I can flash a recovery image (TWRP) just fine, but cannot boot it.. And when i attempt to liveboot a recovery image, it just never boots up (the command prompt finishes its output, but the phone just sits there)...

Can i verify or fix this in any way, given where the phone is right now?

Kind Regards

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Are you using Google's generic fastboot? Or htc_fastboot?

Google's generic fastboot does not support files larger than 1.5gb. Since your ruu is 2.2gb this would be a problem.

You can get htc_fastboot here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031

Add it to your fastboot folder. And flash the ruu with command.

htc_fastboot flash zip "name of ruu".zip
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinAdk:
IT SEEMS TO WORK!! :good::good: :laugh::laugh:

Thank god, i was NOT aware of that limitation in the Android fastboot.exe!

Still flashing, but all looks good! :victory: :fingers-crossed:

What a beauty! Now where do i send that 2$? :)

TwinAdk!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Do you have HTCsync installed on your PC? If so uninstall it and flash the ruu again.

Htcsync is known to interfere with fastboot causing hangs like this.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinAdk:
Negative.. I have HTC BMP USB Driver, HTC Driver Installer and IPTInstaller (all 3 installed today, to get drivers etc in place).

The phone is COMPLETLY unresponsive, i might just let it die on the battery..

I think you shouldn't have to stop it. I'm not a developer or anything but i think that it can't be helped now. Try to take it to the HTC.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinAdk:
Last post shows that the phone worked fine :) I saw it flash all the critical partitions before it froze, so I wasn't that worried about it after all. The point to solving the problem was using htc_fastboot, instead of normal Android sdk supplied fastboot, as the htc variant has support for zip files over 1.5 gb.

I'm a falcon xt1032 user and I'm using custom rom (most of them cm13 based). Since its introduction I've been in love with "snap camera" app that shoots excellent pictures (much better than thos shooted by stock camera), a working panorama function and even slowmo camera!!!

Now I'd like to try the stock marshmellow port (that seems to be much better than CM 13 about battery consumption) but i don't want to miss "snap camera". My questions are: Is there a flashable zip? are there any chances that someone port it to stock firmware?

Thanks in advance!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrego88:
I got my LG G4 from Verizon about a year ago. In January, my phone shut itself off and got stuck in a bootloop, just showing the LG screen then resetting. My boyfriend was able to get it to turn back on using the USB debug mode but he's now in Asia until June. I came back from a long trip to find that that no longer works. I downloaded SDK and tried doing a reboot again and it still just reloops the LG screen. The phone is running stock firmware, bootloader hasn't been tampered with, and no attempts to unlock or root the phone have ever been made. Is there anything else I can do before resorting to the factory reset? If I can't fix it, is there a way to get the data onto a drive before resetting it?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuvan03:
Ok I've been at this for hours trying to get adb to recognize the tablet in recovery mode and to no avail. I've tried every trick and random driver i can find on here and still am unable to get adb to recognize the tablet while waiting for a sideload .bin file. While in normal mode while up and running adb devices command find sit np but once it goes into recovery it's gone.

I type adb devices and it comes back null. I've tried killing and restarting the daemon server and that isn't it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. There is even an ADB composite driver listed in the device manager and yet once the tablet is in recovery mode it seems to disappear.

I tried doing a factory reset and wiping the cache. i'm drawing a blank on this. I've also tried changing usb ports and cables on the computer. It's just not working.

:confused::confused::confused:Any ideas?:confused::confused::confused:

then install drivers.

There are two options to restore stock at the bottom of this link, it all depends what version you have. See if it helps...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62986666&postcount=4

or you could also try this to get into Amazon Custom recovery:

adb reboot recovery
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldeveraux:
Yeah, most likely a driver issue. Try different drivers until you find one that actually works!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuvan03:
Well I just thought of this when I woke up, could it be that I'm using minimal ADB and fastboot or should that not make a difference?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabuboy:
As long as your device is listed when doing a "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" should make no difference. But yes, minimal should be fine.

But it is usually a good idea to have the latest version.

I think your issue is with getting to Amazon recovery. If in recovery, there should be a menu. See that menu here in post #3:

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/amazon-fire-2015-tips-tricks-t3214544
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
You're talking 2 different modes here: (1) Recovery mode: You see menu options on tablet. Windows can't ever recognize device while in recovery mode; no driver appears in Win Device Manager. (2) Sideload mode: After you select "apply update from ADB" and press power button and you see yellow text on tablet saying to sideload the file. Fire appears in Device Manager. If no driver installed (or messed up), it's under "Other" with the name KFFOWI as [MENTION=6032053]gray-beard[/MENTION] said. That's what you need to install drivers for in order for sideload to work. I doubt Minimal adb is the problem. You're probably just not all the way into sideload mode. If problems persist, open the console window from the folder containing adb.exe.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuvan03:
Many Thanks Gray Beard, it's reloading the stock firmware now. I was just trying to go through the pick your device drivers thing too quickly and needed to do the see all devices to be able to see the adb drivers to get them loaded.

I badly need help on this. My phone got stuck on bootloop (Asus logo w/ white dots going in circles) after the OTA update. Phone not rooted.

[ZenFone 2 General] danannn:
Tip for not getting stuck in bootloop for 1-click method users:

make sure to not delete any default application (freeze them instead) and undo any changes to /system before applying the update (e.g. disable AdAway, AFWall+, etc). You might wanna reboot too just to be safe.

I've just, once again, successfully updated (OTA, 551ml) without losing root or getting stuck in a bootloop. Only time I got stuck was because I forgot to deactivate adaway.
[ZenFone 2 General] luisoman2000:
in my case I had to factory reset after applying the update, my wifi was acting strange. chrome and Google Apps wouldn't connect but opera did. after that everything is working fine.

edit:found the culprit, it was opera max. apparently it is not working properly with the latest update and it blocks a lot of connections (including speedtest), no wonder only opera browser worked.
