[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Looking forward to the official LineageOS 14.1 release for the Verizon HTC M9. Thanks for all your hard work, Flyhalf.

In addition to the OS update, I was also looking to update to the latest firmware, 3.37.605.19. I'm currently on the latest unofficial LineageOS 13.0 release from 03/16 with firmware 3.37.605.15.

2 part question--to simply update the firmware, is the correct firmware to flash the 3.37.605.19_NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip from santod's thread? And is it safe to flash future firmware updates as they are released?

Just trying to avoid any incompatibility with LineageOS (if that's even a thing) and a bricked device.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tst1212:
Not sure about the firmware version, but keep in mind if you flash the "NoRecovery" firmware, you'll need to flash twrp separately. I just installed "3.37.605.19_NoBoot_TWRP3.0.2-0_firmware.zip" without any issues. I'm on latest LOS 13.0
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
Well technically the latest firmware is 3.37.605.28 as of a day or two ago... But to answer you question, yes. All you have to do is flash the NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip and is perfectly fine to flash future updates.

Remember: Make sure you use the NoBoot No Recovery or else you'll have to find a computer to flash twrp back onto it and flash LineageOS before your phone can boot again.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] lithophone:
Thank you both for your replies. Slightly different answers, so I just need 1 thing clarified.

I currently have TWRP installed. If I flash the No Boot-No Recovery, will it only update the firmware and leave TWRP in place and untouched?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Rain__:
Battery life seems slightly worse than 13.0 was for me. I'm not a heavy screen-on-time user, so most drain is just passive standby screen off time. If I had to randomly guess, the screen-off drain rate is maybe 35% faster on 14.1 so far.

I have the performance profile set to Efficiency, as I did in 13.0. I may root (or use ADB) and have a look at wakelocks, but based off the battery "History Details" in Settings, the phone does not seem to be getting stuck awake for extended periods of time or anything. I periodically monitored battery voltages too and the battery percentage seems to be accurate, though I don't really have anything to base that on other than knowledge of LiPo/Li-ion batteries.

I'll follow up if I discover anything helpful, but has anyone else noticed slightly worse screen-off battery performance too?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] soulshot96:
Ok, can someone here tell me how to get root access on this rom? I have tried flashing the armsupersuaddon and armsupersux64 zips, neither worked. Then I tried enabling root access in the dev options and installing SuperSu from the store, that seemed to and went ahead and attempted to install binaries, but now my phone is bootlooping...I am on the latest nightly if that helps, but the first one didn't work with the flashable zips either.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Adm.Wiggin:
I got root by installing "the LineageOS su add-on", as described in the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/himawl/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery (addon zip comes from https://download.lineageos.org/extras, "addonsu-arm64-signed.zip").
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] soulshot96:
I tried that one...didn't work. Might try it again after I get my phone setup again, but that's going to take a long while. Ended up having to factory reset, so I need to download a hundred apps and reset all my 2 factor authentications...all for root. Not keen to go through this again.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
After you flash the root addon zip you have to enable root in developer settings and it should work after that. I know it is a pain but you may want to try to start over again.

But a lot of users are using root less and less these days. I don't have root currently on mine. Don't need it.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] soulshot96:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot...and I agree about root. I only wanted it because I have the Pixel launcher flashed to my phone as a system app, but its been glitching up and making it to where I cannot swipe cards away on google now, so I was going to install pixelize and use that to see if it's version of the launcher didn't have the issue. So I found myself needing root for the first time since my M7.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] weinberk:
For those of you who have this flashed, how is MMS working for you? Nothing but trouble on 13 and unfortunately more an more people are sending me group texts (which come over MMS)...

If you're having good results, I'd love to know your settings.

(and unrelated, how are all you making out without Xposed installed? Does that not make you go crazy?)

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
You are still on cm13? I'm always flashing back and forth from Lineage14 and Sense but MMS works here for me. I've made no changes except make sure I am on the right APN.

Haven't used xposed since like cm12

Question for you... how are you making it without advanced calling. Does that not make you go crazy? haha :D
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] weinberk:
Running Lineage 13 because I really like xposed, specifically for xprivacy. Piece of mind.

MMS doesn't seem reliable. What APN settings are you using?

I came from the M8, which had the dual concurrent radios. I MISS THAT - being able to talk over 1x and have LTE data at the same time was nice. The single radio at a time on the m9 stinks. Advanced calling was supposed to fix that, but I'm in an area that has pockets of 3G only, which means that a VoLTE call would drop when driving into a 3G area. That's a deal breaker, so I've made the concession that I won't have data when the phone is in use for voice.

I'd love to update Lineage 13 to a newer release, but encryption seems broken since late Feb I think it was. You were going to look at fixing but then moved onto Lineage 14
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
Yeah I remember that. Don't think anything will be fixed in cm13 since we jumped to 14.1. I am running VZWINTERNET. I know sometimes it can be set on the straightalk one.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] weinberk:
Mine and 2 others that I manage keeps seeming to revert to straighttalk. Was that not an issue for your on CM/Lineage 13? I guess its not for Lineage 14.

Is there a way to build the security updates into Lineage 13, everything that's been released since your Feb 3 build - without any of the other modifications?? Feb 3 works well, but it's unpatched....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
Yeah. I'll start a cm13 build now. Check back in a couple of hours and hopefully if it builds fine should be done soon. The latest security patches applied to cm13 is 2017-04-01 https://github.com/LineageOS/android_build/blob/cm-13.0/core/version_defaults.mk#L108

I'll tag your name over in the cm13 thread once upload is complete. You can check the progress of the build at http://flyhalf205.no-ip.org:8080/job/Build Himawl LineageOS 13.0/
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] weinberk:
Thanks so much.

I completely lost track that we were talking so much about 13 in this 14 thread! (sorry all). Also, I love that you still call it CM13, just like I do, even though it's Lineage 13.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Flyhalf205:
Completely for about this. It's been uploaded. Let's start using the cm13 thread now lol

Any progress on this? Looking forward to having data on calls.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Randal84:
Okay..so how did u get voLTE working??? I have both an m9 and 10 on Verizon that I go back and forth with, and have just managed to get both set up with Lineage 14. This is THE ONLY issue I have ran into so far on both devices. I downloaded the app called network, which shortcuts you to the hidden radio info page and it shows voLTE provisioning greyed out and shut off. How did you get this working on the m9??
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ifone456:
Is there any mod I can use for getting better sound quality? I was thinking in installing mods but don't know If they only work in stock rom

Xrpivacy: XPosed via Magisk

Has anyone had success getting the XPrivacy xposed module to work with LineageOS 14.1 on the verizon m9?

I have Magisk 14 and MagiskManager installed. This was also used to root LOS, though my results are the same with the supersu addon for root. XPosed systemless was installed via MagiskManager - same problem with all of the other systemless xposed which I flashed through TWRP. Both Magisk and XPosed seem to work!!!

However, XPrivacy doesn't seem to want to recognize that it's been activated. I activate and restart, but it still tells me that a restart is necessary and that it's not activated.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had success or would be willing to give this a try. XPrivacy is a fantastic tool, giving you granular control of what information every app has access to. Can't live without it...

thanks

Anyone try the official Nougat VZ firmware yet?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] bkdubya:
I was actually looking for it to give it a go. It would be nice to have advanced calling back. Is there a twrp flashable zip posted anywhere? I found it once, and commit find it again. Firmware would need to be updated also, no?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Rain__:
The firmware can be found in [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]'s thread: [7.0][FIRMWARE/RUU] Verizon HTC One M9 Nougat 4.49.605.11 Resources ☆ ★

If you decide to give it a go, be sure to grab the old marshmallow firmware you're currently on as well, just in case you need to flash back.

Whoa, you're back in the build cycle? Official releases Jan 7 and 10!!?!??!/1??!/1/!? HURRAY.

Encryption fixed?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
The latest changes in encryption have caused me hours of grief over the past night trying to get my phone back. From the himaul forum:

In short, I upgraded over official updater and got a non-bootable device which took numerous attempts to fix. I did originally encrypt using an old version that was probably using hardware encryption. Finally, I've managed to get my phone back without wiping everything. Here are the steps I've followed:

BACKUP before you try anything. I prefer to cp -ac the entire data partition to a folder on an ext3 formatted microSD card from TWRP recovery. Note that TWRP has issues with ext4 and will only mount ext3 manually from terminal, eg. mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd. It may also be possible to use TWRP's built in backup feature, but that excludes /data/media and doesn't warn you of this. If you don't backup before attempting to upgrade you may very well be screwed. (Although if you've already done it, TWRP may still be able to decrypt your data partition. I haven't tested this.)

In TWRP, factory reset. Then format data. Type yes. Then install the newest LineageOS zip file.

In TWRP, restore your backup to /data using cp -ac. You will have all your data back and should be able to boot, but will not be encrypted anymore.

Once booted, encrypt your device from settings.

If, like me, you have a stronger encryption passphrase than your lockscreen pin, use SnooperStopper to change your encryption passphrase.

Hopefully this will save you a few hours. I sure hope I don't have to do this again for future upgrades.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
And to those who would rather avoid this altogether, here is the 2017-10-18 nightly that is the most recent one you can theoretically install if you are using hardware encryption. LineageOS official site seems especially bad at keeping archives of this sort of thing. I had to go back through my incremental backups to find this file.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] hamzaalijoiyah:
I just downloaded the 2018-01-10 nightly from LineageOS site and while attempting to flash using latest TWRP, I'm getting error 7. I did Format Data and wiped everything, still I can't flash the zip. I've S-OFF and bootloader is unlocked too. Can anyone please help me here.

This is the status of my phone, of it helps:
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Don't think the m9 builds are universal, though I could be wrong.

You're in a Verizon thread with a Sprint device.

Could be the issue....?

I don't even see Sprint listed for Official builds.

GSM and Verizon are both there.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
Is it time for himawl owners to look for a new phone? LineageOS has pulled support for hima and after 3 months I am stuck on December security patch level. LOS 15 development seems to have stopped as well.

If so, what Verizon-compatible phones are left that can run LineageOS?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tst1212:
What happened to the download link?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
No clue. I've rummaged through my backups and temporary files and I can only find the October build. I have it on my phone though. Let me know if you find it, I have modified some things in system and would like to go back. I don't have the hundreds of GBs required to compile. Wish I could say I was surprised... Lineage seems bent on alienating its base even more than CyanogenMod...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Cloudhopper1960:
Any Official download?

In an attempt to jump back into custom roms after a long string of Verizon phones that were not Cyangenmod compatible, I bought a New in box Verizon HTC one M9 because I saw it was supported on the Lineage OS Wiki supported device page. Now I discover as others here have discovered, the Official Download is gone and the device is not listed on the Lineage OS main page of supported devices. Is the Verizon one m9 no longer supported or is this an error? If I can't find a stable Lineage OS to put on it, can someone suggest a stable custom ROM to use? I don't want to deal with a bunch of trial ROM installs, I just want stable, fast, improved battery life and no bloatware.

I'm more than a bit frustrated at this point.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
The 2017-10-18 build is available a few pages back. I'm trying to do a build right now with based on current source. Hopefully that doesn't disappear before I finish downloading it.

Have you gotten S-off? You will need that before attempting to flash anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Cloudhopper1960:
My phone is on it's way to Jon at Sunshine, It is Android 7.0 and has to be mailed in to get S-offed. I don't mind paying to get S-off and I gladly support development.

I have a couple weeks before I'll be ready to flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] mergenium:
I need help here too. I'm using a build I believe FlyHalf205 made based on 15.1 - Oreo with a January security patch (lineage-15.1-20180114-UNOFFICIAL-himawl) . It was the first thing ROM I flashed after just unlocking my bootloader, getting S-OFF. Every is okay for the most part, it's just not rooted and the camera is broken. Are there any stable builds with a working camera for himawl? I also don't want to brick my device with that encryption thing, is it extremely recommended to encrypt? Because I thought it was optional in TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tst1212:
Root has to be flashed separately as it is not built in, not sure where you find one for 15.1 (Oreo). The camera issue is ongoing and seems to be the reason they have abandoned development on 15.1

If you want a stable Lineage OS, you have to go with 14.1 , which has for some reason disappeared from the Lineage website. The most recent version I found is from 10-18-2017, see link below. Encrypt is not required.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657577623
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Cloudhopper1960:
Thanks for the link. Saturday I got my phone back from Sunshine and got it set up with LineageOS 14.1 yesterday. The guys at the Sunshine help chat were a huge help as it's been a few years since putting a custom OS on a phone. So far the phone is behaving perfectly.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
I am working on a new build of 14.1 which I will post shortly. I built it succesfully a couple days ago but got hit by the very unwelcome "April fools" features.

(Hint to any LineageOS developers, if no other adults in the room are doing what you do, you should probably stop doing that. I don't see Debian, AOSP, Mozilla compiling in so-called pranks that mislead their users about security and cannot easily be disabled.)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tst1212:
I agree completely, I have a Samsung tablet, and believe I got the same thing. Was a message about LOScoin mining. I didn't give it a second thought as if it was a prank, I removed it and went back to a newer version. Thanks for creating the new build!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
Just completed a couple builds here. One with built-in microG, one without, your choice. Note that I have not tested these! I am still running the one I built a few days ago. That works perfectly but I can't make any promises. Let me know if these work or have any issues.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=242521

Note if you are moving from official builds to these unofficial ones you will have to take some extra steps if you don't want to wipe data. I didn't realize this and kept crashing and finally resorted to some incomplete app-level backups. More info at https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds.html
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] tst1212:
Been using the microG verison for a few days now, so far so good. I love the ability to get google play services and apps without logging into google. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] htsmi:
Couple more builds at https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=242521. This is the last build I will do since my M9 is pretty much dead. Anyone who wants can continue to build it as long as source is still available on LineageOS servers. All I did was follow directions here: https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renizer:
Hey there,

so among others, I had a company email account on my Z3 compact, using Exchange ActiveSync. Meanwhile, they don't use Exchange anymore at the company and so I wanted to delete that account because I can't access my emails with the phone anymore anyways.

Now I found that it has also deleted almost all my phonebook entries since, apparently, they were connected to the Exchange ActiveSync account. I wasn't aware at all that it would do that, is there a way I can get the entries back?

Additionally, Google shortly afterwards requested I re-verified my password because of "suspicious activities" ?

Regarding phone specs, i have an xperia system update pending 23.5.A.1.291, no idea what Android version I have currently. No rooting.

Thanks for any and all comments.

Hey guys,

So, I bought an old x peria z ultra because I just love this phone. Now, as I turn it on there is absolutely no audio. Neither from internal speaker , external speaker , earphone. This device is currently running cynogenmod 4.3.1 . The imei shows 00000.

I have lost the sim tray so can't find the imei there. moreover there is absolutely no info about the model. I dont want to tear it apart to find the model number.

So, is there anyway I can find the model number such that i can flash the respective stock firmware and try and get the IMEI back ?

or is there any other way?

I tried some google apps to find the device info it reads c6833. However I am not sure of this . For the first place the previous owner might have flashed the wrong firmware and screwed the phone.?

I love this phone even after all these years. i hope you guys can help me fix this issue
