Hi, i use m9 verizon out of the US. i can't even check if there is an update. it says "updating ony works in CMDA mode". I can use my phone , mobile internet 3g etc. i hate it and i want to know if i can flash rom and working normal, updating itself and no wrong sim card alert?
Do you suggest any rom? Or can i install just one EU rom? Thank you.
You shouldn't flash an international ROM on your Verizon M9 unless it includes support for Verizon.
As far as updates, they will be posted here when they come, so you will be able to stay up to date as long as you are S-Off.

I read on post below that "you cant flash 4.x RUUs if your phone is currently using a 3.x (or any lower) firmware."
my device is 3.37.605.7 so in the other word i can't update it to 4.49.605.11 RUU in the post above?
i'm sorry if my question have obvious answer, but i want to make sure and not bricked my first android.

Or get S-OFF, and simply take out the "firmware.zip" file out of the RUU, there is no reason for wiping or going back to stock, then via sd card you can flash the firmware in Download/Fastboot mode, or you can use a Computer to do it.
I highly suggest you get S-OFF now before HTC possibly patches it like they have many many times before, if so it could be a while before an update is available to make Sunshine work again, they are the best at getting around to it though, but HTC has blocked them before on older devices.
Besides S-ON is horrible and causes issues, like for example without a custom kernel or a kernel patch in some cases you can't install Viper4android driver, or Adaway won't work, issues like that, S-ON blocks certain writes to succeed on /System, basically S-ON=Half A** Root. :laugh:
I must be doing something wrong. I am now S-OFF via Sunshine. Downloaded the firmware package and flashed. Seemed to work, I had 1.53 in bootloader. Created a bit of havoc and had to reinstall ViperRom a few times to get the phone working again. Now showing 1.30 in About tab again.
Anyone?
Because there rom is based on 1.30

You're confusing the ROM build with your firmware. The system about info will not tell you your firmware. It shows 1.30.* because that's the ROM build.
Boot into downloader mode and it'll show your firmware as being 1.53.617.5
You will not get best performance out of a Euro build, it's missing the carrier provision information for US carriers.

I am on US Unlocked and 1.53.617.5 firmware using Viper 10 1.2 on T-Mobile. It works great! I notice nothing different about my signal or interface with my carrier. I have VoLTE and WiFi Calling working and working well. Also, I have read that people have working VoLTE for AT&T in the Viper10 thread.
You could also use BadBoyz which is based on the US Unlocked 1.53.617.5.
Hi guys, this is my first post, and I have a question right away.
My M9 is running on 1.32.401.17, it's android 5.0.2. I didn't received any OTA update, and tried with RUU and it can't update this way. So I rooted it and I don't know can I install 3.35.401.12 rom e.g? My phone is int. version and it's S-OFF..

Finally decided to jump to N firmware.
Followed the guide on how to do it as I was on Viper.
Now I have uprooted, back to stock recovery and on stock MM 1.80.401.3 and have tried to update using the OTA Update file and stock recovery but it won't work. Keeps failing, complaining about strange file structure or something.
Any tips?

There is a WWE RUU, just flash this?
Ensure you backup all your data when flashing it though...it will wipe everything, including your internal sdcard.
The much easier way would be to S-oFF and flash the nowipe firmware in fastboot.

A firmware package that doesn't wipe your phone's data when you flash it, as opposed to something like an ruu that typically wipes your phone when you glass it.

Thank you for your replies. I am only curious because I am fairly new to this phone, and I do travel abroad. I just want to make sure I know everything about it when I finally SuperCID to 1111111 and flash GSM firmware. I just don't want any surprises when I do that. So I watch all the HTC 10 forums, whether or not Sprint. I own this phone. It is not a lease or under contract. I am free to do whatever I want to do with it, I think.

Yes indeed. I have been following that thread (and a few others) quite closely.

Anyway I can even get the original OTA to work again or is it broke forever?
Really want to get onto stock Number firmware ?
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
So I managed to flash a rooted developer edition rom on my m9 and when I tried to run ota updates, I got an error saying that it couldn't finish because my phone's software has been modified. After some searching around (and admiditantly some arguing), found out that it's because my firmware doesn't match my android version. I'm still running android 5.0.2 and I don't THINK I messed with the firmware. So how do I check the firmware version and find either a rom (preferably as close to stock as possible) or a ruu that will work for the software/firmware versions that I'm using?
Please do a "fastboot getvar all" and post here.

If you have S-OFF it's simple to convert, I'll show you a little tutorial.
If you don't have S-OFF it's impossible and you'll be stuck with this firmware if you won't get an AT&T sim.

You can only flash AT&T because of CID, every carrier have different CID and because that the different RUU will give you error.
Only with S-OFF you can change CID and MID and flash any GSM RUU.
So, you're stuck with 1.32.502.9 firmware until you get an AT&T sim to update it or s-off it.
With this firmware you can only flash custom roms with Android version 5.x and some 6.0.x but just few 6.0.x and maybe will be unstable.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Ah, okay. So basically, I have to go back to AT&T then use a series of ruu files to work my way to nougat then finally flash the custom rom?

Or you can just flash this RUU, then update it from settings, it's more simple.

That's actually why I tried flashing a rom. AT&T won't let you get updates unless you're using their sim card for some ungodly reason.

I understand what you tried but it's impossible to jump firmware to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, this can be done only with OTA on S-ON phones.

No, you cannot update it to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, just OTA, Flippy explained you why in the other thread(different encryption between 1.... 2... 3... and 4... firmwares).
So the only way to update your firmware is to flash the RUU I give you(don't flash twrp, root,etc), get an AT&T sim and update it from settings until you reach nougat.
I don't explain it one more time... I think I explained the same thing in different ways 3-4 times....
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Excuse me. I was thinking/hoping software provided by HTC themselves would be able to upgrade the firmware along with the OS instead of forcing everyone to be stuck with the only option for software upgrades from a carrier that we don't even want/use. It only makes sense that if it can be done on samsung phones, which I've rooted and flashed several times, it could also be done on HTC. So it looks like the only way to get nougat is to suck AT&T's ****. Thanks.
