Hi
I got the message informing me the upgrade is available, i downloaded the file. When i tried to install it, i got a message telling me i need to have at least 25mb phone memory, i uninstalled some apps and got the memory up to 45mb but it still wouldn't update. I rebooted my phone and now i don't know how to install the update, i can see the file in my downloads but i don't know how to got about installing it. I tried to check for software updates but it keeps telling me my i'm up to date, however my firmware is 2.1. How do i get the update installer to come up again? Is anybody having the same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
Can you still see it in your downloads? Then just press it, that started it for me.
(be sure that you have a goldcard inserted if you have a debranded phone)
I can see it in my downloads through my file manager, but when i click it i just i see more files, is there anywhere else to access the downloads, i tried through the web browser but i can't see it.
By debranded phone do you mean sim free
Thanx in advance
With debranded I mean you used to have, for example t-mobile (or whatever provider you have) splash screen when booting up instead of htc. or that you had some programme's preinstalled by your provided on phone. And now have gotten rid of all that stuff by installing a clean htc rom.
As to how to get the update working, I don't know.
I solved the problem, i stopped hello fota and downloaded the update again.
Thanx a lot for your help Flaggie
Im trying to root the HTC E9+ (phone wad bought in China) to install the google apps
i unlocked the bootloader
but cant flash or even boot into recovery as no versions of twrp or cwm are available yet
Any idea where i can get it or is there any other way to install su bin ? odin ? thx
I've got the same problem...
I've got the same issue as the OP. Some more background... I got this phone (HTC E9+, aka e9pw) a few days ago in Hong Kong. Had read about the hardware and was very excited to get a new phone. Powered up OK in the shop, made calls, browsed internet etc.
I got back home and suddenly noticed that not all was as it seems. The app store icon didn't link to the Google Play Store, but some HTC Chinese only app store. Chrome wouldn't install. Lots of the google stuff is stripped out.
The problem seems to be the Chinasense UI. It is not a full Android UI, but something very stripped back. There are none of the standard google apps and things like Chrome and Google Play Services refuse to install. These limitations make this smartphone a very dumb phone.
I hope that this is just a short term issue that HTC hasn't integrated the new MediaTec chipset yet and that soon the full Sense UI will be available, until then, any help would be appreciated with rooting this thing and getting a decent phone...
If you still don't know - all google products in China forbidden!!! It never come back. Just find way how to load international version.
Hello,
I live in France and i received the Htc one e9+ this morning. I come from GN4 and i had HTC one M8 before.
Like you i'm trying to install gapps but not everything goes well.
I would like to ask you if you are as desapointed i am ?
-The phone feels really cheap
-The boomsound sounds far from HTC one m 8 quality, do you think the same ?

@ Mozart360, from where you got e9+.
Because, this phone is only for Chinese market.
@ Arvic, I took it on ebay.com. I really thought it would be a fantastic phone.
e9+ India version seems to have all the google stuff
Personally I like the look and feel of the hardware. It is just the Chinasense UI which is disappointing. I've noticed in some of the videos for the e9+ release in India that the google apps are there. There is hope yet for this phone...
Then we must find way how to root it. I guess here in xda someone share idea how to do it...

Hi, if you just want to get all the google services, you can download an app from the HTC market named GMS which you can search it, and then you can download all the google services through this GMS app, which the data is about 180+MB. After downloading, it requires a reboot and get into stock recovery to update some package into system to get all the services running. With all this progress, you can use google services as a normal android cellphone.
But about the China SenseUI, without root, nothing can be modified. There are three switches in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml to turn on or off the China SenseUI function. As a result, without root permission, this default.xml file could not be modified, as least I have not worked out a way to modify it. So China SenseUI couldn't not be turned off. I don't know how to operate with stock recovery to modify system partition, or whether the stock recovery get the rights to modify /system partition.
ALL THE ABOVE shares to the one who is using HTC E9+ outside China.

And another thing attached, the app name is GMS安装器 in chinese, but no English name. Its icon is a green android robot with some google icons in the body of the robot. Don't get the wrong app. The app itself is only 0.05MB.
And it's very sad that the HTC Market doesn't have an English language. Try to recognize the chinese characters as I told above.
GSM works!
It works! I downloaded and installed GSM and now I have all the Google Apps. I'm pretty sure this phone now has everything I need. The process is all in Chinese so I'll give you a run down of what I did. Hopefully I can remember it all.
Go to the HTC app store and find GSM. Icon of a little green Android guy with some icons inside him. Download and install. GSM will then start to download all the apps which took me an hour or so. There is a notification with a progress bar so you know it is going ok. After the download there is a message which asks you to make sure the SD card is removed. Accept all the pop ups. Restart and hold down the volume button which goes to recovery mode. It will crunch away with some installation. When it finally boots up, all the Google stuff is there.
Thank you CPStar.

E9+
hey guys... i hav an e9+ but taiwan stock ... so evrythn is english and no xtra chinese apps ... if ne1 wants i will try to make a system dump for u guys.. but i guess GMS solves the issue for evry1.
So what are the opinions of the few that own the E9+? Pros/Cons? Battery life? Gaming performance?
I am considering this phone because IMO 5.5 inch screen is the sweet spot.

Yes, it works! Thanks @cpstar !
Only steps are different....
After downloading file via GSM, phone must switch off, then switch on by holding power botton and volume down, then must choose "reboot to bootloader mode", then reboot in recobery mode.....
But when you press "reboot in recovery mode" - actualy nothing happens.
I just swithced off phone by long hold power botton. Then switchen on and in booting time started install 27 app.
After, I tried via HTC help to check phone updates. And downloaded update, but following window it ask to "install now", after "OK" phone just two times restart and nothing happen!
After restar - again popup msg about update.
How to solve this problem?

Battery life ~ 9 hours. By using WeChat all the day, taking photos, Using Web browser. By using 4G network. If using WIFI, will be longer time ~ 12h.
Except Chinese app - I'm satisfied.
So how do we root HTC E9+ ???
Hi guys,
I've been following this thread and am planning to buy an HTC One E9+. Can Frama-root / RootGenius / Kingo Root do the job? I plan to buy it once there's a verified way on rooting the E9+ phone AND add Google apps. I understand Google apps can be added using the GMS安装器 application. So the only question now is: How do we root this phone? Tried Google and Baidu, seems nothing clear yet on how to do it. Thoughts? Please share Android experts! Thank you!

Hello
Thanks for the guide but just wondering if anyone knows where we can get the stock recovery from to do the OTA updates? Or is anyone doing updates differently rather than OTA?
Thanks

Hello
Im also buy HTC one M9+ , use GMS安装器 intsall all google apk but cant change blinkfeed chinese version international and sanse cant change chinese version .
HTC one M9+ have any international version offical room or not ?
I can witness that the above rooting process is working perfect for my E9+ (HK) version.
So should i get it?
So guys im thinking about getting this phone and now i know it has root and if i am correct it can function as a normal android smartphone but i do have 2 questions I'd love to be answered. 1 can you install google play and download apps from it? And 2) what roms work on it (if any)?
I bought this phone in Dubai and it has Play Store and Chinese senseUI stuff. My question is, after doing the above rooting process, will it be possible to update or no ?. There is an update available, I haven't rooted and haven't updated yet
I have the dual sim version. Does this method work with it ?
Hello guys,
I have a problem with ZOE app in my HTC One M8 running ViperOne (newest version).
The problem with ZOE is that I can't get it to make any clips. Everytime I try to open (make new clip) with Zoe, I get a message that it was unable to make ZOE because there is a problem with phone memory. In addition, I get a notification that downloading was cancelled because app was unable to...(and I can't read the rest of the notification).
Of course I have a couple of gb free both in my phone memory as in my memory card.
When I run "zoe camera" in camera app,it works(I can make a clip), but after that I can't edit it or make anything with ZOE with it.
I can't even pick any photos to make a new clip,because I get notifications mentioned above.
Any suggestions?
I tried to clear cache or turn off and then turn on the app in apps settings but it doesn't help...
I googled the matter but found no answers.
Hi, I had the same problem with ZOE on my M8 with Android Revolution M8 45.
Well, it doesn't work on Revolution 45 too, I just changed my ROM and still nothing.
Ok, found a solution- I reinstalled ViperOne and in AROMA i checked "uninstall ZOE", then I installed it through Play Store and now it looks everything is ok
