[HTC One A9] Sympl3x:
Glad to hear that you are recovering. About to try out the updated ROM and just wanted to make sure I am doing things correctly. I am on the 1.57.617.60 version of the ROM right now. In order to get to Nougat is this the correct steps I need to take? I downloaded the 1.57 RUU and will install that back to stock then hopefully get the OTA to nougat. After that, can I just flash the TWRP you posted followed by the ROM or do i need to do the Nougat RUU first? I know people have posted in the thread recently but it seems there is a lot of different info on the upgrade process. If you could but put upgrade instructions on the first post I think that would be really helpful.

Thanks again for the hard work and hope you continue a swift recovery.
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
See this post.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
[MENTION=4327020]Sympl3x[/MENTION]: The OTA will bring the stock MM .60 version up to the stock Nougat version, so the Nougat RUU would be unnecessary. The OTA will take care of any partitions that are updated between MM and N, in addition to boot and system (especially the decrypt key). So no need to do a second RUU, at least in theory - but also so far in practice for me. The key point (that I have been a bit slow about) is to do a wipe/factory reset before installing the custom ROM and rebuild /data from original sources, not backups, according to WNC. The recent issue is about non-US versions that were converted to the Dev edition, but still had different partitions - apparently fixed now but not relevant to us anyway.

So just RUU .60, OTA Nougat, install TWRP 3.0.3-1_UNOFFICIAL from the TWRP OP, wipe/factory reset, install WNC ROM, boot and enjoy.

Greg
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Euro device users will be getting Nougat ROM soon as well...
[HTC One A9] Sympl3x:
Excellent thanks. Starting that now.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Asus? Wrong thread...
[HTC One A9] loner.:
I meant HTC. Nevermind I should of knew better.
[HTC One A9] Sympl3x:
So got OTA to nougat and TWRP 3.0.3-1_UNOFFICIAL flashed and installed the rom successfully. I noticed it states at the end of the install that first boot takes a while and to be patient. How long are we talking here? I'm going on probably 45 minutes now at the white HTC boot screen. Any ideas?
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
That seems too long - it took about 5 minutes for me. If it hasn't finished yet then try restarting, or going back and doing a wipe/factory reset then restart. If that doesn't work, I note that WNC has uploaded a new version, and you may have used it - only slightly changed, but for TWRP - and he has tested it on 3.0.3-0 and -5, so try installing one of these versions of TWRP then reinstall ROM (he lists these versions a page or two earlier).

Good luck,

Greg
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
There is a tested TWRP recovery included in the ROM... reflash working TWRP...factory reset...flash ROM...
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Ok... So... The ROM you are using if not Nougat...are not supprted any longer... Settings are where they would normally be...Have a good night
[HTC One A9] Sympl3x:
OK i found that recovery and reflashed, but still the same. I did relock bootloader. Do I need to re-unlock the bootloader before flashing the rom?
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Er, yes. Locked bootloaders will only work with stock ROMs, right? You unlock the bootloader so you can run non-OEM ROMs, like WNC's modified stock ROM. I didn't need to relock the bootloader to install the RUU or do the OTA. You definitely need to be unlocked - whether you have to re-install the WNC ROM I don't know. (I made the same mistake last time - no harm done, just more effort.)

Greg
[HTC One A9] Sympl3x:
Yep, I figured it out the hard way. Literally just had just had WNC's rom reboot successfully after RUU to Nougat, check oem unlocking in dev options, re-unlocking, rebooting, reflashing twrp and reinstalling ROM. All seems well now. Honestly forgot I had it relocked first time I flashed WNCs new ROM. I'll leave it unlocked from now on.

Thanks for thehelp
[HTC One A9] anunknwon:
I didn't know I have new update. Thanks a lot

Guys have you also weaker vibrations after moving to nougat from marshmallow? Is there any option to adjust that or maybe you know any mod or app that can make vibration a bit stronger?

[HTC One A9] Maribou:
Just updated to Nougat last night. Can't wait to try this one out. Thanks WNC!
[HTC One A9] Kumo2121:
I tried flashing the latest firmware but it kind of bricked. I can only go into TWRP recovery mode, can't go into download mode, phone just boots to white htc screen and loops/turns off. I tried restoring the backup I made with TWRP but after it just reboots to the bootloader mode/screen with this error. init fs_mgr_mount_all failed. Been trying to flash back to the RUU.zip unlocked US through TWRP install but I get this "Could not find 'META INF/com/google/android/update-binary" error. Then I tried just plugging my phone into my pc with either bootloader screen or recovery mode and running the RUU.exe but it says it doesn't detect my phone. Then I tried sideloading with adb sideload filename.zip, although it detects my phone when i check with adb devices, it keeps saying it cannot read the zip file. I'm at a lost. Any advice? I've been googling these errors all day @@

S Off, unlocked with 1.12.617.6.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
To flash a ruu need to be in download mode,not bootloader... May have to flash the 1.12 ruu again and take the ota updates to get up to speed.
[HTC One A9] Fudgehog:
I have 6.0, unlocked bootloader, S-ON, twrp, and ATT 1.27.502.5. Can I successfully flash this rom? From being on att 1.27.5xxx I flashed captain throwbacks stock rooted rom and been on it ever since. All I really want is updated firmware/software and 6.0.1. Will this rom achieve that?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Not without converting device to Developer device
[HTC One A9] Miramontes:
USB transfers not working, even though I activate them from the option menu it stays only in charging mode, any suggestions?

FW 1.57.617.20, unlocked, S-On.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
S-On you didnt mention flashing kernel seperately... Which if S-On needs to be done...
[HTC One A9] Miramontes:
Great, will do, could you please guide me on where can I get the kernel from? I did not see the link for it anywhere

Also I'd love to test some of the Sense 8 apps if you have anything for me just let me know. Thanks!
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
When did this become a requirement again?
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
It may not be..but I suggested it in case...all my devices are s-off and have been for a long time so you may be correct@ it not being needed now
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
is located in the zip you downloaded to flash rom, reboot device into download mode and run fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Testing new builds now to try to fix reported issues...stay tuned
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Last device I recall that being an issue was the Supersonic, and that was only on old firmware. The HTC Dev unlock process properly unlocks the /boot partition so no additional steps should be necessary.
[HTC One A9] Kumo2121:
So I was able to fix my phone by using recovery mode, mounted 1.12.617.6 Dev Edition.zip and installed it through TWRP. While my phone works now, the main issue is that download mode doesn't work. It'll show the HTC logo with black background but will shut down. Recovery mode and bootloader works, phone is recognized on PC so I tried to reinstall with RUU but the phone shuts off as it tries to enter download mode during installation. Another thing I noticed is that when I fastboot/adb in bootloader mode, my cidid and mid are blank and commands like fastboot oem writecid 11111111 results in error. Any ideas how to get download mode to work again?

fastboot getvar all results in:

[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I think another user had this issue...and I believe he had to manually flash each partition seperately to get download mode back...Unsure of procedure...but I think he posted about it. Id search for said issue on the forum. Sorry I couldnt be of more help...
[HTC One A9] Kumo2121:
Figured it out! Yeah I had to fastboot flash all the images individually and it got download mode back. I then went back to a stock rooted rom and then ran RUU.exe from HTC to get it back to unrooted stock rom 1.12.617.6 and then RUU.exe for 1.55.617.4 android 6.0.1, re-rooted with TWRP and SuperSu. So everything now is A-okay! =D
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
I put the latest OTA up for US Unlocked on dev host in case you decide to update this to 1.57.617.32 and people need the firmware. I posted a thread also in the other section.

This is just a reference, don't flash this on any phone except a US Gen Unlocked model. Use at your own risk...I'm not responsible for people fubarring their phones.

1.57.617.32 OTA

Firmware.zip inside the OTA of course, and people can either flash the fimrware.zip entirely/recommended via fastboot.

[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Deodex is whats messing up certain features... So trying to figure it out...
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
Didn't think anybody had figured out how to deodex a 6.01 Rom/files? The 6.0 version. 1.27.x that was first released was capable of that. But I could never get any of the OTA updates or later RUU versions, like 1.55.x afterwards, which make it the 6.0.1 version, to deodex and work at all with my own testing/builds.

I want to saw captain throwback had these same issues?

Maybe somebody figured it out on another forum/model phone how to deodex the 6.0.1?
[HTC One A9] Captain_Throwback:
Actually it's the opposite. 6.0 wouldn't deodex, 6.0.1 does.
[HTC One A9] TravisH997:
Would this work with a Sprint version of this device? My S5 just bricked itself losing power during a flash so I'm looking at possibly grabbing one of these until the new flagships come around but don't want to if I can't get Nougat.
[HTC One A9] JohnRogers23:
I believe this rom is GSM-only, so no. However, if you're on Sprint then their A9 is OTA updated to Nougat anyway.
[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
If you're s-off and convert to US unlocked with Sprint radio, which has been previously mentioned in the forums, this ROM will probably work. As far as I know, this is untested though. Wonders_Never_Cease didn't build this ROM for the Sprint variant.
[HTC One A9] Formedras:
For me, the A9 wouldn't be worth it as a purchase; I only have mine because Sprint couldn't/wouldn't give me another M8 through TEP. (Well, that's paid for itself several hundred times over.) Xposed doesn't yet support Nougat (and thus can't be modded through it), and custom ROMs for it are virtually non-existent to the point that I'm thinking I may have to learn how to port ROMs myself to get myself Resurrection Remix (which was my last M8 ROM and quickly became my favorite ever). M or N.

I'd suggest a used/refurb LG G3 or G4 instead; you can find something useful for those. (Unless regular LG G4-forum ROMs don't work on Sprint G4s...)
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thanks for the input/opinion... Opinions vary@ usefullness...Some people dont like all the useless "tweaks" that require constant updates to fix things that get broken constantly... Everything has a niche and usefullness... What isnt your preference may be someone elses... Good luck on your porting... :cool: :cool:

Anyone having any bluetooth issues with the Nougat update? Ever since installing it my device has issues connecting to the infotainment system in my car. It's a Toyota 4Runner with the Entune system. Before it would automatically connect every time I got in the car. Now it rarely ever connects unless I turn bluetooth off on my phone for a few minutes then when I turn it back on it will auto connect.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Might want to see if there's an update for the head unit for compatibility.. I know my Kenwood is sometimes iffy as device and version of Android is not technically supported... Toyota has a phone compatibility page for the Entune system.Also in checking Carrier branded devices are supported.. No mention of unlocked/non carrier devices... ATT version is supported,but it hasn't been updated in 2 yrs and is still running 6.0... Maybe remove and re add device as a new device.... Security is beefed up quite a bit from MM to Nougat..Just some thoughts

Where can I find the firmware that goes with 2.17? I'm currently rooted with twrp on 1.57 and can't install the official ruu or get anywhere with this. I've had no luck decrypting the ruus with the tools I've seen.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
You left out the critical bit of info: is your phone a "617"? That is, are you on 1.57.617.60? If so, the easiest way to get to Nougat is to get to stock 1.57.617.60 by RUU if not already there, then go into Settings/About/Software Upgrade and request the OTA. Then you can flash this ROM. If you can't get the RUU to work then extract the firmware and use the SDcard method to get back to stock (documented elsewhere - that's why we have search).

Greg
[HTC One A9] dafuzzbudd:
I am on 617. I'm on stock rom with twrp. When I run the ota for 2.17 it reboots, errors at 5%, and boots back up. I think I to flash the stock recovery back, but am having trouble finding.
[HTC One A9] CarinaPDX:
Just run the 1.57.617.60 RUU, available on the Collections thread. That will absolutely make your device available for the OTA. Again, if the RUU.exe doesn't work (could be several reasons) then just extract the firmware and use the SDcard method.

WNC, if I wanted to create a debloated ROM from the stock Sprint image, what up-to-date guide/tutorial would you recommend me for doing so? I know the very basics of what's happening in doing so, but am not sure if Android Kitchen is still the way, what tools to use now, etc. etc. Is there a good current resource you could refer me to?

Again like I said, I really just want to debloat.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Android Kitchen hasn't been used in a long time...

for some reason trying to install Viper4android through Magisk it doesn't show up in my apps or anything, if anyone can help me out on this i greatly appreciate it

So I was on stock rom, running rooted 218.617.10. I downloaded A9_218_Nougat_Feb.zip and flashed it. It was working perfectly. I seen that there was an updated build 218.617.21. I downloaded it and flashed it, and it was working great. I noticed in the OS Settings > About > Software Information > the Software Number said 218.617.21, but when booted into Download Mode, the Software Version said 218.617.10. Obviously because I didn't do an OTA update. So I thought that I had a backup of an untouched/unmodified official system partition in TWRP. I restored only the system partition, and system image. Then of course I was getting notified of the OTA update. I downloaded it, tried to flash it, and it said something about something in the system was unconfirmed or something similar to that. So, I had an RUU of 218.617.1 and I RUU'ed back to that. When I went to the play store, I noticed in the Play Store > Settings > it said it was an unconfirmed device, or unverified, or something similar to that. So then I went to the stock recovery, and did a factory reset. Now everything seems to be fine, except I can't get an OTA update. When I go to Settings > About > Software Updates > it says that the system is up to date. When I boot into Download Mode, it shows that it's currently on 218.617.1. I don't know why or how to get an OTA update anymore. The latest RUU in the RUU Collection thread is for the current one I got which is 218.617.1. I can't use an exe file because I don't have access to a Windows PC. If more information is needed, just ask. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC One A9] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Download mode build version is different because you did not do the ota and aboot is different..,the 2.18.617.21 is available via htc site... you would need to flash the firmware zip to have current version displayed in download mode.
[HTC One A9] DeadlyByNite:
I understand that the download mode build version is different because I didn't do an OTA. That's not the question I was asking, or the problem at hand. I don't know why I am no longer getting OTA updates after 2.18.617.1 especially now that I RUU'ed all the way back to 1.57.617.20. Then I received an OTA update all the way up to 2.18.617.1 but I know that I should have received 2.18.617.10 and 2.18.617.21.

From 1.57.617.20 all the way up to 2.18.617.1 I went to Settings > About > Software Updates > downloaded & installed just fine. I am also aware of the updates on the HTC website, but they are an exe file (Windows executable file) and I hate Windows, and don't have access to a Windows computer.

Short answer is why can't I get an OTA update after 2.18.617.1 especially since I got one from 1.57.617.20 up to now (2.18.617.1)

If it helps, I have entered "fastboot getvar all" in Linux terminal and it returned this:

You flash the rom via TWRP recovery. If you don't have TWRP recovery installed, search for TWRP in the device's thread. I don't know what xtc2 clip is...
