Hi,

I have just done a hands-free phone test and everything is good in both directions !! It's not super strong as volume but no problem to understand each other, and no distortions.

All has been working great with this theme except for when I want to share a pic or something. When I click on the source I want to share with, it force closes. Like sharing with Hangouts or Facebook. Do you know what setting could be causing this? Thanks for any help.

Wow sorry to hear this. Pie has been great on my U.S. version. Been comparing everything to my Verizon Samsung S10+ and network speeds are the same, the U12+ kicks the S10's butt with pics and the ease of use and less bothersome notifications have made my HTC U12+ a joy to use against the S10+. The S10+ may have a bigger screen but they both look just the same. Both gorgeous. No Pie issues here.

Glad you had no problem mate, sold my u11+ had two faulty 12+ uk/eu models, software faults before I updated sent them back & got a refund 4 weeks later , HTC stopped selling phones in the UK, sent my u11 off to repair in the UK and they sent it too Poland been six weeks so far for a battery change.htc Stated they didn't have my phone for over a week, ups tracking said otherwise. I bought a tw u12+ worked great until I updated it. Think of going back to LG after many years v50 or pixel 4, HTC don't know what customer service is over here.

I've flashed it back sdcard method, locked bootloader s on, 2.47.709.1 to 1.53.709.7 , getvar showed that was it's baseband, took the risk of bricking but it's fine, only apn greyed out,
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jab5555:
Had same problem, 32gb Sdcard is a must, it won't work otherwise mate, I tried prepatched boot & patched one myself neither worked (bricked) . I just installed from temp twrp 19.3 , it updated through magisk manager to 19.4 with no problem, if you use adaway, just use systemless MOD inside magisk and restart works fine (2.47.709.1)

I received the update a few days ago, but I don't really notice a significant change in the haptic buttons - does anyone know what, specifically, that change consisted of?

I haven't had any involuntary reboots since the update (famous last words!), but it had gone several days without doing that anyway.

Battery life doesn't seem to be significantly different.

I do notice that the screensaver still doesn't display up-to-date news & weather when set to that option, it still displays the data from last manual access to the News & Weather app - a bit weird, waking up to see a headline from a week ago!

Maybe that question better fits into the guides thread. You can try restoring stock boot. If that doesn't work RUUing is required.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
I did it earlier this week.

I fastboot booted using the 1.15 TWRP image, backed my data up, copied it to my PC, safe and sound.

Performed full RUU, took the OTA

Booted to the 1.21 TWRP image

Copied my TWRP folder back to the sdcard, did the data restore. Worth doing a dump of your boot.img at this point too I guess.

Booted to my system to see if it was all lovely.

It was all lovely.

Redid the magisk install using the boot.img I just backed up (not actually true I was lucky to find someone elses dump and used that but should work the same)

Rebooted to bootloader and flashed this image to slot B (active)

Boot up and make sure Magisk is all happy.

Installed TWRP zip from Magisk Manager

Installed Magisk again from Magisk Manager (because TWRP currently overwrites some magisk bits and bobs)

Installed freak07 kernel via TWRP

Boot.

Guess that would do it.

You will have to reformat your sd card but you can use a tool called format32. I just tested it today and worked fine with a 128gb card.

You can find it at http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm. It is freeware.

Format the card with fat32 and 512 allocation and you will be good to go.

This is also for Mayday, CID: HTC__626
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 29988122:
Thank you, sir, for helping!

Can you somehow confirm that why this works? i.e., the phone specific file value stays (different ro.project ro.build value in build.prop, modified apks, etc..)

As far as I know(not enough >.<), ruu's gonna repartition the phone, and reinstall many crucial partitions, including system vendor firmware...etc.

And in the process, wouldn't it replace the value and files from mayday one to htc u12+ one?

* I guess *(could be wrong) even if the CID/version number stays the same for both variant, there *must* be some differences for htc ruu / ota / to recognize which variant (asia_tw u12+ or mayday) it's dealing with. That's why ever after factory reset (wipe /data), the default theme and assets are stiil Mayday's, not U12+'s .

If you're willing to teach me, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Just want to be extra clear that how it works(ruu, build.prop different value), and learn more things in the process.

***

Something I did recently:

- I tried to mount r/w, modify the value of ro.project and ro.host to the ones of U12+ value and reboot, clean htc_launcher data, restore default theme - but it is still mayday variant, not U12+.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kyuubi10:
Hey there guys, just wanted to post something here considering very little news on updates from HTC.

I've recently purchased a Pixel Slate and couldn't help but notice something interesting.

The audio grill looks an awful lot like the U11/U12 style grill, and the audio quality is very reminiscent of the Nexus 9 (built by HTC).

We all know the original Pixel phone was built by HTC, and Google is licensing it's squeezy edge tech from HTC.

I've got a feeling (despite HTC having denied this) Google must have successfully poached a significant portion of HTCs best engineers and product designers.

Explains why the Pixel is such a good phone... if only it was cheaper.

Fyi, the Pixel Slate I've purchased happened to be on a very good deal, which I believe has ended, where it was 30% off + free pixel pen + free keyboard.

So all in all, if Pixel phones are also likely to be given said treatment I'd be more than happy to make a purchase when that happens.

Cheers all, good luck to all of us HTC fans! May the glory days return!

Sorry for double post, guys. But does anybody know how to extract the system / boot image from an incremental OTA? I tried using vm03's python script (link below), but it errors out unfortunately. I already know about RUU Decrypt Tool but that only works on full factory images. I needed to use it anyway (pulled the stock boot and system images from the 2.51.617.1 RUU) to use in conjunction with the python script to attempt to finish building the full boot image from the new OTA, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

I posted on the dev's thread to see if I could get any help, but unfortunately the tool doesn't have much visibility, nor much activity. There are people on GitHub reporting the issue, so hopefully it eventually gets sorted out: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/extract-files-ota-payload-bin-diff-t3959161#post83753637

Or am I completely making this harder than it needs to be? So yeah, anybody know if there's a way to pull the clean factory boot / system images from the incremental OTA (and with the base version RUU in my possession)?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
it is not possible since the HTC OTA does not contains a full system.img it has just patch files for current system.img the only way to extract it would be installing the OTA then extracting it from the device itself. Do notice I specified HTC OTA, some other manufacturers send full system.img in OTA and those are extractable normally with any payload extractor script tool
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] i5lee8bit:
Hey thanks, but yeah, vm03's script was updated so it can generate the images from even an incremental OTA, as long as you have the previous full image files (which I do). Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be 100% reliable/compatible. I went ahead and took the OTA and temp booted TWRP to pull the boot and system images over adb. Posted the factory boot and system images over on the other thread (https://xdaforums.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664/page80#post83754529). Both files should be 100% good. I can attest for the boot.img for sure because I patched the boot file with Magisk v21.0 and flashed to the phone, but then it froze on the HTC powered by android boot screen. So I flashed back the factory boot.img that I had just pulled, and it booted back immediately. Also tried Magisk v20.4, but same thing. Just need to find out why Magisk isn't working.

Edit: Nevermind, I haven't used this phone since March, so I totally forgot about the whole custom ROM loaded via Magisk thing (wife and I moved on to Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, and don't even need to use custom ROM anymore, haha). I just caught up a bit on the ViperU12 and LeeDrOiD U12 threads and see that the latest firmwares for several variants aren't compatible. Should have checked that first! So anyway, I've updated the post on the other thread with the Magisk patched boot images, as well as modified boot file for booting into Magisk Core mode.
