help restoring htc one m9 to stock - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed viper rom a few months ago and recently I wanted to get back to stock rom.
I couldn't find any frimware that matches my cid (us 001), but i managed to find a twrp recovery img with that cid from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698 .
I tried to restore to stock using twerp recovery img (I have twrp recovery installed), but the recovery didn't recognize the .img file..
Any ideas on how I restore it? Or does anyone know a frimware that matches my device? (unlocked htc one m9 bought in USA).
Thanks, floofi

Hey its floofi from a different account,
I found a zip file that matches my variation, should I flash it using TWRP?
Or is there another way I should do it?
Thanks!

Unable to locate 1.29.720.11 (Asia - India) RUU for my HOX

Dear Team,
I just got my hox which was updated to the latest Asia - India 1.29.xxx (forgot the last digits) however i rooted the same using one click rooting method, post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Now i tried doing everything mentioned on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190&highlight=disaster
However, it seems that only solution for me is to go back to stock, but my problem is the RUU which is not available on the link mentioned in that post...: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
So i am kindda stuck here...any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks a ton in advance...

The digits of the rom version number that you have forgotten are vital if anyone is to assist you in finding the RUU number.
If you can provide them, I will be able to find it for you (If it exists).
You can find your software version no. by going to bootloader, fastboot mode
And type : fastboot getvar version-main
This is mine as example:
C:\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.29.707.11
finished. total time: 0.007s
And for Asia-India usually is 1.2x.720.xx

Ohh man...it's so difficult to digest!!! Anything else i can do?
Or else if any other indian user can upload their stock rom..will that work?
Yes you can use other indian boot files. Check your pc whether you have yoour nandroid backup , just flash the boot.img file if you have it.
Else ask any other indian who has nadroid backup of 1.29.
I am indian but i have 1.28 base only. you can flash that too. to get it works.

Hi Guys,

Stock recovery needed for Vodafone UK M9

Hi,
Does anyone have stock recovery that will work with Vodafone UK HTC One M9, my current firmware is 1.32.161.15. I flashed TWP but forgot to make a backup of my stock recovery first.
will i just be able to use this: M9 1.32.401.15 recovery.img?? Answer: No, it needs the correct carrier version and must match the firmware.
one more question,
I now have a full backup of my M9 from TWRP but have not rooted yet as I am unsure how to ensure that System integrity is restored from my backup in order to recieve OTA's again
, I read that i could use fastboot to flash system.img but this is not contained in my backup. the system backup files are as follows.
system.emmc.win
system.emmc.win.md5
Edit: I now know this is the System partition
Thanks
OK I have found that I can just extract system.emmc.win from my backup and rename it to system.img so im good for that now. I still need to know if I need the original 1.32.161.15 recovery or if i can just use the non carrier 1.32.401.15 recovery anyone able to advise me?
i think i found the recovery:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550711
Thanks so much for finding that, I'll let you know if its good.
That didnt work keep getting cannot load "recovery.img whenever I use " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ", does anyone have a Vodafone UK HTC One M9 on software 1.32.161.15 that can dump the stock recovery for me?
update: I got it to flash after rebooting my PC, hopefully the OTA will install this time.
worked a treat thanks dusu84, does anyone want to add https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550711 as the Vodafone stock recovery for 1.32.161.15 into this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698

HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM, only boots into Fastboot!

My HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM,
1. does not boot normally,
2. only boots into FASTBOOT page,
3. in FASTBOOT page I can select and enter Hboot page,
4. in Hboot menu, when I select RECOVERY, or FACTORY RESET, it returns only to FASTBOOT page.
5. as the attachment shows, there is nothing written in front of "OS-"; it is blank.
Questions:
1. In these conditions, is it possible to flash the ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
2. Is it not necessary to flash stock recovery, wipe some partitions, etc first, and only then proceed to flashing ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
Hi
I have the same problem as you only my. HTC is the sIngle sim A5-UL Version.
So far I have not had any replies regarding the problem.
Hopefully we will get a resolution
sometime.

It should be but you will need to have the stock recovery reinstalled by first unlocking your bootloader then flashing back your stock recovery then relock bootloader and then flash the RUU or stock zip file thru either ADB /fastboot on your computer or via SD card and renaming the image OP9CIMG and hboot should pick it up and flash it automatically. Did you accidentally wipe your system or try to flash something that corrupted it? In other words what happened before all this? We're you rooted with a custom recovery or still on stock?

1. I tried to unlock bootloader but the last stage that asks Yes or No, did not appear on my phone and therefore no unlocking happened as the attachment shows. Can you help me with this problem?
2. I wiped nothing and flashed nothing. The phone was working normally and the battery finished. I plugged the charger but when I tried to turn on the phone it only booted to fastboot mode as I explained in the original post.
3. I was on the original ROM that came with phone. I never did any manipulation.

Because my phone has behaved abnormally (OS- is blank, as attachment shows; unlocking bootloader did not show Yes or No page; and other abnormalities), I am not sure whether to download a file over 1.20GB, or not? I am afraid about failure! Is not my phone in a situation that needs some preparations before doing what you said?
Hi
Thanks for reply. I was attempting to go back to stock and had installed stock recovery and then relocked the bootloader and when i tried to install the RUU it said it was the wrong one.
I then tried the Hboot way but received the same error. I need to find several RUUs to be able to find the correct version for my 816 which i believe is Asian but not sure where.

Oh, ok I get it now. Think the forum I linked you to was for the European a5_ul. Here's a link to some a5_ul roms kitkat and lollipop. I see one of the lollipop versions is Asia. Try to match your CID and version ID or at least your radio ID's before flashing it. "fastboot getvar all" will give you most of that info but it looks like that might be your firmware. Also make sure you relocked your bootloader before flashing. Good luck

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of doing something to your phone but those pictures don't show me any of that. It just shows that you seem to no longer have an OS with your lack of a CID and something happened to cause this. It's not about finger pointing but getting the issue resolved for you I know. As for helping you unlock your bootloader the method is pretty straight forward and if it didn't work for whatever reason the only real advice I can give is to just try it again. That's how I unlocked mine so maybe it was just a glitch and another attempt will work. For now I'm more concerned that you didn't wipe anything yet your recovery and firmware seen too be missing or at least inaccessible from your bootloader. The factory reset was going to be my first suggestion but since your already done that have you tried to enter your recovery thru ADB/fastboot? (fastboot reboot recovery.) The other thing is what region are you in( India, Asia, European) and does " fastboot getvar all" work from using ADB? Also if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions for you and restore your rom. Also were you on kitkat or lollipop stock rom?

My 816 A5UL is Asia-HK-CHT

I cannot find a RUU that matches.
I believe the Rom could be OPc21000
Which i cannot find anywhere.

Yeah I've never heard of that version before. I only found one link here below that even mentions that CID but no solution. If you haven't flashed the one I linked I'd try it anyway because as long as your S on the signed rom won't flash if it's the wrong one but if your sure it's wrong then save the data hit to your ISP cap. Sorry I wasn't of more help to you.

You are being kind to me by trying to resolve my problem.
1. I tried again but it did not help.
2. I will try "fastboot reboot recovery", and tell you about the result.
3. Through online chat I gave my IMEI to HTC middle east and they told me that my Software Version is 2.34.401.2.
4. " fastboot getvar all" works.
5. You said "if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions". Can we be sure that it is wiped? If we can not be sure, is it necessary to do wipes and formats?
6. I was on Lollipop. 5.0.2.
Since you never unlocked the bootloader before, flashing the stock rom(ruu) should work. Give it a shot. Just make sure you flash the same Android version that you had before as downgrading might not work.

1. That's fine. For now it's OK that it's locked. It's only if your stock recovery is gone that you would need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery zip file that you would need to find and flash. Hopefully it's still there just inaccessible for now.
2. Just an idea to verify your recovery is still there
3. OK then that's the firmware you want to flash or higher version
4. From that it should have your CID and version ID but if it's corrupted or wiped it may not show. Those 2 are what you usually use to verify the firmware your flashing is the correct version for your region. You can also verify your radio ID as well as most firmware zips show those numbers as well.
5. It's OK an RUU file will reformat everything and bring it all back to stock. It has all the images in it (radio, system, recovery etc.)
6. That's good. Just make sure you flash that version or higher as going down in firmware isn't possible without S off. If you flash the wrong firmware then the signed RUU shouldn't flash.
Also what region are you in ( India, Asia, Europe?) your phones firmware (CID is your carriers region) that you flash needs to match you're CID.

2. I will try after 35 hours from now.
4. INFOmodelid: 0P9C70***

The picture attached to original post shows: RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO
In getvar: INFOversion-baseband: INVALID_VER_INFO
About region: my CID is HTC_J15. And as my search shows, 401 (in my Software Version 2.34.401.2) means Europe.

1. I don't know it's still there that's why I used the word "hopefully. " You should be glad that you can still get into your bootloader because without that access your phone is an expensive paper weight. Thanks for the other info. It's exactly what you need to know to find and flash your firmware.

You said rename the file to "0P9CIMG.zip".
As getvar shows, my phone's exact modelid is: 0P9C70***
So what is the principle according to which the file should be renamed? that is, what characters of MID should be mentioned before .zip?

If "fastboot reboot recovery" cannot work, it means that I have lost stock recovery.
1. Am I right?
2. If it is not there, is it still possible to flash the rom? Or I must first flash the stock recovery?
3. Is possible lacking of stock recovery what prevents the phone from showing Yes or No page ("Unlocking bootloader?" page)
4. Is it possible just to flask stock recovery for now and leave flashing ROM to some time later?

If "fastboot reboot recovery" cannot work, it means that I have lost stock recovery.

1. Or it's corrupted but it could still be there.
2. Usually you need to flash back the stock recovery but I've heard of people flashing over their custom recovery with an RUU(rom utility upgrade) and the RUU replaced everything including the stock recovery which is in the file.
3. Not 100% sure on that one. The bootloader is a separate kernel provided with every Android OS so the recovery is separate from it. That one I can't figure out as when you were trying to unlock your bootloader you're firmware was fine at that time I assume. That's the strange part.

You seem to mean I have had problem with unlocking bootloader when my phone was normal.
No. I did not try then. Only after problem I tried unlocking. Please read my post: No "Yes or No" page when Unlocking bootloader! http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...via-htcdev-t3316781/post65371393#post65371393

Hi
Again thanks for the reply.
My 816 A5UL is Asia-HK-CHT
CID-622
I cannot find a RUU that matches.
I believe the Rom could be OPc21000
Which i cannot find anywhere.

What is your "getvar all" information?
(Perhaps I can be able to give you some points.)

OTA update

Hi everybody,
I have the htc e9w, and I'm currently on the orignal rom version of 1.35.709.2. I have root premiision on my device and I have an annoying ota update notification which drives me crazy. It asks me to update to version 1.41.709.6 , but of course I can't since I've unlocked my bootloader.
So my question is, Is there's an option to update to the newer version? I don't care if it requiers wiping the decive, just another solution beside sunshine, I'm not going to invenst any more money on this piece of junk (I used to love HTC until now)
Or is there's a custom rom for this foreign device?
Thanks for the helpers.
Hi
You can install the OTA even if you are unlocked and s-off. It does not matter. The only thing you need is the stock recovery. If you have TWRP installed on your device, just flash the stock recovery ( it is in the forum ) and install the OTA.
If you think that you have to be locked, you can easily lock your device with only one command ( fastboot oem lock or relock i think ) and then you can easily be unlocked by using the same unlock.bin or the htc developer web site.
Thx

Hi, thanks for your help but I couldn't find any stock recovery for my version. my cid is 621 for as far I've understand it's from taiwan.
the only recovery that "suits" my device location is - recovery_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.45.707.5.zip, but it is another version from what I have ( 1.35.709.2) so can I use it?
AND I'm s-on.

Yes, you can use it. You can find others at here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3285886
You can also find a compatible recovery.img in the OTA file that you have downloaded. Copy the OTA.zip from your downloads folder to your PC, extract the zip and you will find recovery.img inside the firmware.zip.

Hi, I did what you've said, I installd the stock recovery, I've even unrooted my device, relocked it and format it, but still, I can update!
I have an htc with green arrow logo, but it got stuck in the middle and I see a red traingle.
I try to use ruu method, but the only ruu availbe for me is older than my current version, what appearntly doesn't aloow me to flash it. So what can I do?

Have you flashed the recovery.img that comes with the OTA file ?

Bricked htc one m8 t-mobile de

Hi guys, I have an HTC one M8 that is bricked. It powers on but doesen't boot.
I was able to unlock the bootloader but when I flash TWRP i have some errors,also when I try to boot from fastboot to twrp it doesen't reboot (error remote dtb not found)
I tried to search an exe RUU for this model ( cid T-MOB101) but none of them are working (I tride some TMOUS ruus)
Is there a way to fix my problem? To change CID or can someone give me the correct exe of the RUU? Thank you.
*EDIT, MY HTC ONE IS M8QL_UL SO I'TS M8S. I fount the RUU but it's stuck on "checking header" how to fix?
