[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Kiswahili:
I am very happy with the ROM.

Most things work. At least until now. I just installed the ROM yesterday.

It is normal that there may be problems with a port.

@lolrom05

As for the brightness issue.

For me it is also the case by default that nothing changes with the slider.

But I found a temporary solution.

It works at least halfway.

Settings --> Phh Treble Settings --> Misc features --> Backlight --> Force alternative backlight scale
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
Dude, you're a lifesaver! Or rather, a batterysaver. My phone was dying almost twice as quickly as normal on full brightness, so I hope that this will help.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
@mikalovtch will we need to wipe data and/or flash anything again except the new system.img when you release the update? If that's the case I'll run my phone with the barebone apps until it's released.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] mikalovtch:
I think no
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] xxzxzx:

Is it possible to use clean slate kernel

or venom tweaks
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
@mikalovtch thanks for all your hard work! Just wanted to report another bug, autorotate does not want to stay disabled. I don't know where to get the log from though...

Are you sure you used the right steps to get into Download mode? Try following this guide: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/htc/htc-u12-plus/download-mode/ Download mode doesn't break that easily, but maybe you've really ruined it. You could try to put in a microSD card with the original firmware on it if you get download mode working again and follow the guide on this page: https://xdaforums.com/t/back-to-stock-rom.3932254/ to get back to the stock rom. Stock rom images can be found in the HTC U12+ section of android filehost: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=developers&did=3846, but beware, try to get an image that is as close to your original specs as possible (last official update installed before bricking, right device version, a rom made for the Imagine (AKA HTC U12+), NOT exodus 1, right country etc.).

Подскажите пожалуйста , а можно скачать отдельно и установить Venom твики ???

Mod translation: Tell me please, can I download separately and install Venom tweaks ???
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lviwer2:
nope, when I turn on Reboot To Download I see:

FastBoot Mode

Product_name HTC_Phone

Variant SDM UFC

Bootloader version -

BaseBand Version -

Serial Number - XXXXX

SecureBoot PRODUCTION

Secure state -S-ON <-- probably that caused the problem.

Device state - LOCKED (L) <-- probably that caused the problem.

Key State - NONE

***Software status: Modified ***

This device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.

Any other ideas or this is over for my HTC :(
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
Try using the command "Fastboot update ZIP" while you have the RUU image on an sd card under the name "update.zip". You could also try oem unlocking it, since you can still access fastboot. If you get that to work, you can force boot TWRP and install a custom rom.

@mikalovtch any news for us? Don't want to be impatient, just wondering if we can do anything to help out?
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lviwer2:
I tried today do anything with MY HTC and update with file on sd don't work :( I can't run it. Also download mode is not working so meybe it's that. I tried also commands like adb push update.zip /update.zip but as response i recieved: 'error: device not found'.

In fastboot when I enter 'fastboot devices' i see: 'PhoneSerialNumber fastboot'. Command: 'fastboot update external_sd/update.zip' returns 'no such file of directory ;/ Probably it can't connect with sd card ;/

Have more ideas? Or should I buy a new phone ;l
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
Can't you get it to OEM unlock? The only thing you need for that is fastboot, which still seems to work. You can also try sending the update zip over fastboot, just like you would do with the twrp image.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] mikalovtch:
I have built one test version based on February security patch but it has some new bugs. I have ideas how to fix them but first of all I want to automate building ROM to decrease time needed to apply patches, required to make A13 bootable on U12+. This week should be released March source code, so I will see how patches will work with it and then you will see the version. All I need is just time to work on it.

P.S. I have read that A14 may require newer kernel to boot than U12+ has.
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] zhiwen112:
if newer kernel means a14 will not be available for htc u12+?

[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
You should be able to OEM unlock in the normal way. As long as you can get the unlock token from fastboot and are able to upload the token you get back from the HTCDev website using fastboot again, you might be able to get it to OEM unlock. If this doesn't work, your phone might just be FUBAR.

Last idea.

Changing motherboard on the phone will unlock it?
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lolrom05:
My bad, forgot you needed download mode for that to work. Regarding the motherboard, it would work, yeah. You essentially change out what makes this phone this phone. It might be easier and cheaper though to just buy a new Pixel. Though if you do the replacement yourself it could be worth it.

Hi. I'm at it again. ;)

Your workaround mentioned above doesn't seem to work for me. I still can't get to Download mode that way. When I do as you say the device boots to the FastBoot Mode screen again, only now the message at the bottom I mentioned earlier ( "This device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" ) isn't there.

But I'm still not able to erase userdata from there (FastBoot Mode).

Any other ways to successfully get in Download Mode after flashing update .zip from twrp, so I can delete userdata and system before being able to flash the rom?

Thanks for the support!
[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JEANRIVERA:

You are doing it in bootloader and not in download mode

[HTC U12+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] jorisvdende:

Sorry if I'm getting it wrong, but it literally says "hTC download mode" on the top of my screen.

It is not in Download mode?

To be sure it will work I will perform a clean installation as suggested in the vendor patch description.

Do I need to install all the patches as normal zip files right? Just Boot into TWRP, Install, then select the files?
