Thanks I was at working too much multi tasking. But I always have problems with my laptop running 10 I went to vista and was up and running no time
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] kaw900r:
Wanted a clean fresh install and the only difference isnow there is nothing when I go to mods and they were there before cause I applied a few.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
They should update.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] ranstr:
I can boot into download mode but it won't allow flashing, says the battery power is too low.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Nope, no mods yet, is there a particular mod you're looking for?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] drich66:
I was able to flash new firmware, but now phone only boots to stock bootloader. ADB will only let me reboot the phone., but doesnt recognize the phone to let me fastboot the recovery. could I flash twrp from the sd card?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] wickidninja:
Mine did the same thing. For the hell of it I typed the command to send it. And it did it no problem. Then installed rom and good to go
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] drich66:
i will try again, you typed the cmd from your computer? Did it matter what mode your phone was in? at the top it has , reboot. power down, reboot to recovery and download. I will re check my drivers.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] wickidninja:
I was in the bootloader. From my computer, Adb devices didn't load anything. But the flash recovery worked when I did it.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Aldo101t:
recovery should only flash from download mode.

did you enable usb debugging
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] kaw900r:
Not really, just had 360 even on home screen and battery icon removed but I can wait. Must have been left from dirty flashing. T/u
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
I thought the tweaks are working with the last update? Mine are.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] drich66:
usb debugging was enabled before i flashed the firmware, i cant get into the phone now to verify..

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

if i boot the phone to download, it wants to flash the firmware that is on my sd card. If I cancel. it just goes to a red triangle.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] drich66:
It must be an issue with my PC, ADB just wont recognize any devices.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] yulanz:
Boot into download mode, then run the latest RUU.exe.

My Sprint U11 was bricked when I was trying flash the US-unlock firmware for viper 2.1.0, the RUU.exe save it.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] BodhiBrock:
Is it possible to get the gallery back?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
More mods are baked into rom, like 360 rotation, eventually I'll probably remove the modz app. use tweaks app to enable. Use systemui tuner to disable battery icon.

Which specific firmware did you flash?

Also, rename the 2PZCIMG.zip on your sd card so it stops trying to flash. Red triangle is stock recovery, you need to flash twrp

Latest ruu not available yet

You can try but I haven't had much luck... Though when I was beta testing, it worked fine
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] yulanz:
[/COLOR]

Latest... for now....

1.28.651.50 should be fine.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] ccs86:
Speaking of battery icons. Is there an option for percentage inside the battery icon, or even just the percentage number?

All I seem to get is a battery icon PLUS the percentage. Don't like using double the real estate.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Still needs a be modded, I'll take another look at it
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] SolidSnake0613:
Any chance you could also add the option of moving the status bar clock to the center through the tweaks app?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Kolczyk:
+1
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Can't add the clock mods until apktool gets updated
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] williamschromebook:

[Sprint HTC U11 Development] scooter1979:
I'm not sure where your problem is, but you don't have to lock the bootloader before flashing a signed firmware. Mine has been unlocked since the beginning, and I've flashed signed firmware a few different times now.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] williamschromebook:
I have 1 bug , and one dislike

BUG - Sprint ID download failure (No sprint app)

Dislike - No HTC gallery (I despise using photos)
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] BodhiBrock:
Same.

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone has a successful way to block the system update notification? I'm on badboyz V2.2 and don't want to update to Oreo until the bluetooth audio issue is resolved. I'm googled some ways to disable the system update notification but none have worked. Any other ways to try would be appreciated. Thanks :)
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] biged87:
Not sure what I did but something is not right. I downloaded and installed the signed firmware (2.33.651.10). Flashed TWRP (3.1.1-1-ocn) using fastboot and now when I open recovery, TWRP is not responsive. Nothing works. I thought I should install a later version of TWRP (3.2.1-2-ocn) but that fails with an RU 35 Partition_Not_Support message. Any ideas what I did wrong or what I need to do now? It still says I am unlocked. Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

Disregard --- I retried everything from the start and it worked this time. Must have had a typo or something wrong. Dirty flashed and am working fine.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
yeah I haven't figured out where the Sprint ID download attempt is coming from yet...I always delete ID from the ROM but it's attempting to install the bloat from elsewhere...you can LP the notification & block it...you wont see it anymore

try renaming \system\priv-app\Updater\Updater.apk to Updater.bak & reboot

you may need to force stop it & clear data 1st in settings/apps
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
found out the % in battery was removed from stock Android Oreo... [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] has been trying to add it back w/o success yet...if he can't do it, I surely cannot, lol

I tried an old hide battery icon mod from back in the day using "android:visibility="gone"" in system_icons.xml but unfortunately it did not work, too much has changed since then
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] luigic81:
That seems to have worked, thanks!
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] oldwolf613:
I have been using GSAM Battery Monitor & it allows you to choose a custom batt. indicator & place it over the native one; you may have to get the registered version yo do this, but it does a whole lot more re: tracking power usage in diff ways & I think it's worth it.

OMJ, I'm still on v2.2. Can I take the OTA or do I need to go through the steps listed for V3.1?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
You have to be 100% stock to install ota, so you can either restore stock imgs for 1.28.651.50 from post #2, then install ota or just follow the steps I provided for v3.0
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] ranstr:
I made sure the battery was dead by booting into download mode and leaving the screen on overnight.

Then, this first attached picture is after charging for 2 hours, power off, just plugged into the wall outlet.

I left it plugged in for another 2-2 1/2 hours and nothing changed on the screen. at that point (after charging for over 4hours and with charger sill plugged in) I booted into download mode and attempted to flash from SD card. The second attached picture is what I got..

I know it's charging because it was completely dead and now I can boot to download mode but It's still not letting me flash.

What can I do?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Defective battery? Contact HTC...
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] ranstr:
Really? I guess it's worth seeing what they'll say. If I send it in, should I relock the bootloader? Does it matter?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] AarSyl:
Make sure you have a good backup phone, because you will probably be without your phone for some time.

My phone is still on the "initial diagnosis phase" in the repair process, according to them. They received my phone on 1/19. I'm done to have it back because all of my backup phones freeze and lag for seconds at a time.

Repair time is 4-6 weeks. Believe them when they say that.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
I wouldn't worry about locking bootloader, but it's up to you
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Using the signed firmware will wipe internal?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
I guess, this is where I get hung up, because you can't reboot back to the ROM, right? Or, can you?

You HAVE to flash TWRP, and then the new version of the ROM?

I swear, one day, I might remember the upgrading procedures.

By then though, there will probably be a new way.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
Flashing firmware will not wipe your system. You can boot to it. But you have to flash TWRP to flash the new rom.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Thank you.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] sane82:
Okay I need some help it's been awhile since I've missed with any phone and I seen it had a firmware update and I updated it to the newest one but now no matter what ROM I load up I cannot get 4G LTE to show up it just tells me that is disconnected is there something I'm missing is there a way to fix this please if anyone can help thank you this is so annoying
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
Tell us the steps you took and what firmware, recovery and rom you flashed.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] sane82:
Well first I made a backup of course I was on viper 1.8.0 with firmware ending in 50 then I used the signed firmware 22.3.651.10 from the front page because I am not s off I rename the firmware flashed it in download mode rebooted to see if by some miracle it was going to boot and of course it didn't so I had to reflash recovery 3.2.1-1 again and restore my backup when I booted into that after it was done backing up it booted but everytime I unplugged my cord the phone would shut off as if I was at 0% on battery so I didn't know what was going on with that so I downloaded a newer ROM one that was meant for the newer firmware and tried flashing that through recovery and when I booted it would boot just fine but no matter what ROM I would choose I could not get 3G or 4G to pop up I had to use Wifi to make it through set up even after I made it through setup I would go into settings and try and disconnect mobile data and reconnect it and that was a fail these are the steps I took I am typing from my phone now but the moment I turn off WiFi data will not turn on I have gotten 3G to pop on but it shuts off hope I didn't bore you with my long story and thank you for replying quickly
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
and I thought I had a bad memory lol...

just remember this...flashing signed firmware will almost ALWAYS require you to flash twrp & either custom ROM or Magisk or SuperSU after (the stock boot.img MUST be patched to boot to custom ROM)..

now read this 3x :)

custom ROMs will not boot with stock boot.img (which signed firmware usually have)

custom ROMs will not boot with stock boot.img (which signed firmware usually have)

custom ROMs will not boot with stock boot.img (which signed firmware usually have)

I don't understand why ppl think they can update firmware & run fine on old OS...you can get away with that when it's a minor update on the same android version, but when updating to a new android version, you should always update ROM to match firmware...always assume the old ROM wont boot on new firmware.

I'm not gonna repeat what I just told mcwups1, but it applies to u too

I cannot help u while on a different ROM but if you're using MY ROM, have you tried updating profile & PRL? That should always be the 1st step when having a issue like this...if that doesn't fix it, only suggestion would be to clean flash ROM & start fresh.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] sane82:
Okay so to begin with I did read the front page but I did not see anything about if you flash the newest firmware there is no ROM compatible with it so I took it as it was compatible with the old ROM so yes I flashed it and I also looked at the last couple of pages and did not see anything about people complaining about the new firmware and no ROM to go along with it so it's not like I did not read I have been doing this since the HTC evo days and yes things have changed a lot now had there been a warning sign next to that new firmware on the first page that said something like here's new firmware but has no Android version that works with it use at your own risk I would have understood and not flashed it as I have been on the old firmware forever because I was afraid of updating due to not being able to downgrade so I usually sit on the old firmware for a little bit to make sure people are not having problems with it I am also a single parent of 4 Kids so I do not get much time to sit and read through all of these posts I do skim a lot but I do usually make sure I understand what I am doing and yes I was on your ROM I was just simply stating that I am on viper 1.8.0 at the moment as it is the only one I can get 3-g working on and as for the updating PRL and profile I did that when I was on your ROM and it will not do anything you click the button and it does nothing so if there is any way to getting back to the old firmware I would love to cheer what steps I have to take even if I have to buy sunshine I just need a working phone so that way I can keep in touch with my kids
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
it's not my responsibility to hold anyones hand, provide warnings, risks etc...I am merely sharing my work & firmware in this thread, the user has the responsibility to do some research, if u don't have the time, then maybe u should stay stock, MY time is valuable...

you wont see many ppl complaining in my thread cuz most have been around awhile and know (after me repeating many times) that after flashing signed firmware you always needs to flash twrp & ROM wont boot due to stock boot.img. If you've been flashing since the evo days, I would think you would already know these basic rules...it's been like this for several devices.

update profile/prl works fine for me, I already gave u a solution...clean flash
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] williamschromebook:
Try this first

Hard Reset From Startup

Turn the phone off by pressing and holding the “Power” button for 3 seconds, then selecting “Power off“.

Press and hold the “Volume Down” button and press release the “Power” button to turn the U11
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
That's what I thought.

It WON'T boot back to the old ROM after firmware update. You have to back everything up, and do a fresh install all over again.

That's why I'm hesitant.

Just trying to figure out how to get up and running without all the headache.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
You're over complicating this... I never said you had to do a fresh install.

If you're coming from 1.28.651.50, just flash the 2.33.651.10 signed firmware, flash twrp, then the latest ROM... That's it, not difficult

If you make a habit of updating rom after updating firmware so they match, you'll be good to go.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Alright, well, I did that. I flashed the signed firmware, because I'm S-On, and it updated fine.

But, when I try to install Recovery, the computer no longer recognizes the phone. I can't install recovery.

I can't boot into any rom, I can't access ADB Devices on my computer, and it shows a yellow icon error message and then a red icon error message if I do anything with it.

I'm guessing I have to update the SDK packages, which I'm doing now, because it won't reboot to any rom.

Alright. I think it's complete.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] williamschromebook:
I had this issue myself. My computer wouldn't see the phone. What I ended up doing was putting a Ubuntu Linux on a flash drive and running the Android tools from Linux and it read the phone right away.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
The battery drain on this now is astronomical.

Why can't I post a photo?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Sounds like you got it going but I'll comment for future reference or for anyone else having similar issues.

1. Again, no custom rom will boot after flashing firmware with a stock boot.img (how many times do I have to say this? )

2. Adb is not used in download mode or bootloader, you need to use fastboot.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] RandomPooka:
Definitely the most effective method. I've had to do the same a time or two.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
It installed in Download mode. I used the ADB command, in Download mode, to flash recovery.

However, when using command "ADB devices", it never showed the phone. No list was generated.

I did get it working, but in bootloader, it specifically states that it's in fastboot.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Adb does not work in download mode, you had to of used fastboot
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] malicon:
Finally did the upgrade, dirty flash from 2.2 and it worked great. Had to flash firmware twice as it gave an error the first time. Hotspot fix worked as well. Thanks again OMJ!

Wondering if anyone has gotten Google Phone working? I miss it's antispam!
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Why can't I post pictures?

Bootloader is fastboot mode, and it failed to install.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
Where can't you post pics?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Bootloader AND download mode uses fastboot...but you need to to be s-off to flash in bootloader (unless it's a signed img), that's why it failed....next argument?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Not trying to argue, man. I've donated enough that I hope you wouldn't think that.

I'm just trying to understand.

I couldn't flash recovery in Bootloader, and it says fastboot, that's all.

It's pretty confusing nowadays.

As an aside, are you using Clean slate on this?
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
I've been trying to help u understand, you don't seem to listen, and I feel I'm wasting my breathe/time

none of this is new, I've been using these same flashing instructions (found in post #2 of this thread) for several past devices...

these instructions apply to flashing twrp also...even the twrp tells you how to flash: https://twrp.me/htc/htcu11.html

Flash Firmware via download mode (requires micro sd card)

-rename firmware to 2PZCIMG.zip

-copy 2PZCIMG.zip to ext_sd card

-boot into download mode

-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update

-press volume up & let it do it's thing...

Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your adb/fastboot/sdk folder

-boot into download mode

-plug in usb

-type fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] mcwups1:
Yeah. Thanks.

If you read the whole of someone's post, you could avoid some of this.

I got it working, but the point was I couldn't see my device when using command "ADB DEVICES".

Have a good evening.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] Macropoutsis:
Anybody figure out anything for the bluetooth problem? Mine's a little different, I can't connect with the phone part for calls to my car. The music streams fine.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] k46tank:
OMJ,

I have a similar issue and I have spent the last two days reading and re-reading this and numerous other threads to try and resolve the issue.

I downloaded and flashed the 2PZCIMG_Sprint_2.33.651.10_signed_firmware.zip

from post #2, renamed it 2PZCIMG.zip and let the phone do it's thing in Download mode. Now I'm having the same issue as ehess in post #965.

Phone shows the <!> and message "The bootloader is unlocked and software integrity can not be guaranteed." blah, blah, blah......

The phone will boot to the bootloader and I can get to download and recovery from there but TWRP is gone. I have tried to flash your provided stock signed rom but get errors...... Invalid Signature, Missing Footer, etc......and it aborts.

I have even tried to flash a ruu in download mode but it throws errors and aborts also.

Phone is not showing up in adb no matter which mode it is in so I can't reflash TWRP.....or do anything else in adb

The phone does show that the OS changed to 2.33.651.10.

Prior to loading the firmware I was rooted, s-on, TWRPed via Magisk and was running a previous version of BadBoyz rom

I'm thinking I'm missing something simple but after two days my brain is fried. Any advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] kaw900r:
My phone has been off charge since 330am and 1117pm now at 45% after being on the turnpike for 2 hrs not heavily used but used all day even watches a couple YouTube videos. I did finally do a clean install and 1st day battery drained fast but since has gotten better each day...
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
Oh I read it all, that's why I said ADB DOES NOT WORK IN DOWNLOAD MODE.... clearly your more interested in arguing with me than reading what I'm telling you
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] OMJ:
well since u flashed signed firmware, of course twrp is gone

stock signed rom? I posted a stock rooted rom, but you would need twrp to flash it which u havent flashed yet...how are u trying to flash the stock rooted rom?

there is no 2.33.651.10 ruu yet, so if you're trying to flash a older ruu, you can't downgrade with s-on

wow...adb does not work in download mode or bootloader, you must use fastboot (gee, I swear I've said this b4...)

-download the latest twrp...https://twrp.me/htc/htcu11.html

-copy the img to your fastboot/adb folder

-boot into download mode...

-use this cmd to flash twrp...fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

-boot into twrp

-flash new rom
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] schmeggy929:
Yeah I don't get all the confusion going on around here. Most of us have done this once or twice at least.

people need to stop saying ADB. We have been fastbooting firmware, twrp for many HTC models now.

Since we are all S-On (not including Temp S-Off)

Steps

1. Boot phone in Download Mode.

2. Fastboot oem rebootRUU

3. Fastboot flash firmware.zip(Twice)

4. Fastboot flash recovery TWRP

5. Boot to bootloader to boot to TWRP

6. Flash New Badboyz ROM.

Reboot
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] gscarborough:
I just want to say I appreciate all the help you guys give I know every time a new os comes out omj you are on it making sure we get it.

But I just want to say thanks to you and all the contributors
[Sprint HTC U11 Development] RandomPooka:
Right??

I can't remember a time in the last 7 years where bootloader/download mode worked with anything BUT fastboot. Let's see .. It's been like that since Android Cupcake at the very least (v1.6)

1.5: fastboot oem rebootRUU
