T-Mobile Germany Stock ROM

Hello,
I own a HTC One V that is t-mobile(germany)-branded.
I s-off'ed it using the official HTC procedure and then rooted it using this guide (theandroidsoul.com/root-one-v).
Ever since then, I am having connection problems, as in, no connection unless I reboot it. This especially occurs while talking on the phone,
but also at random. I then attempted to apply the RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed.exe following tutorials
-> first, locking the bootloader, then flash the recovery, then apply the RUU - flashing the recovery worked, however, the RUU failed because the CID does not match. Changing to SuperCID does not seem to be possible at the moment.
Plus, ever since I flashed the RUU recovery, I can't change sounds anymore, so whenever I try to change alarms/ringtones/notification sounds, the personalizer oder settings application crashes.
In order to check if the connection issue is related to the rooting process (and if it isn't, to get it replaced by t-mobile) I need to revert to the stock t-mobile ROM, however, I can't find any.
Is there any other way to solve this dilemma or can you help me?

Now just hold on a sec. You can't S-Off at the moment, as far as I know, and there is no HTC software for it. You just unlocked the bootloader, to give yourself some priviledges, but that is not S-Off, so you cannot change the CID of the phone (or debrand it).
Stock ROM for T-Mobile is not available at the moment (or at least for the public) Ask Football for it, but it will cost some EUR for you.
If the RUU sees anything wrong with the phone (including CID) it won't even start flashing the device, so it cannot do any harm for you. But since you unlocked BL I suggest to install custom firmware to see if anything is wrong with the hardware. Just be sure to do a nandroid backup before, so you can revert to the "stock" if possible.

no easy access or UI after deleting internal storage (newbie)

Hi,
Here's my story: I have a factory unlocked M9 bought in Belgium. After reading in XDA, I unlocked the loader, and install TWRP (2.8.5.0). I then made a backup and installed ARHD 5.2.
Everything worked fine, until I decided to sell my device (I live in Argentina, and although I bought the international version, it does not cover 4G band 4). So in order to sell it I wanted to wipe everything back to factory settings. I went ahead and restore my backup. Again everything worked flawlessly, but then I saw some folders in the internal storage that were not supposed to be there (such as maildroid folder, among others). So I went back to TWRP, wipe, advanced, "delete internal SD". oops, wrong choice...
I rebooted and then notices appeared "Unfortunately UI has stopped..../ unfortunately easyaccess has stoped...", losing all functionalities (no touch buttons, I had to restart every time I wanted to change menus).
I restored again the backup...no luck. I then installed again AR 5.2...no luck.
I wanted to RUU (I am not sure I know what it is, but I do know how to follow step by step guides...well at least sometimes...). my phone is S-ON. I tried installing sunshine to S-OFF, but I got the message "No SD card", so it wouldn't let me install it. in fact when I use the HTC file explorer it looks as if there is nothing in the internal storage.
I don't think I can fastboot (USB not recognized). I read that phones needed to be S-OFF ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545 ), so I don't know what else to do.
I really tried all related posts but I can't find the answer....
Any help is really appreciated (of course I couldn't sell the phone). Thanks.

A RUU is a Rom Update Utility. It's a little program made by HTC to reinstall a stock firmware and/or rom on a phone that is S-ON. Depending on the build number and the CID of your phone the needed RUU is an *.exe or a *.zip.
Are you still able to enter Settings>About>Software Information>More? (Not completely sure whether these are the correct english terms. On my phone it's Einstellungen>Info>Software-Informationen>Mehr.) There you can find the build number of the installed firmware if you are on stock rom.
Otherwise you need to boot into download mode where you can find the build number (written in the line with "OS" at the beginning) and the CID of your phone. Since you never mentioned any branding and you bought the phone in Belgium I'm assuming that the CID is something like HTC__*** and that you can use a European RUU.
Next you need to download the corresponding RUU for your build number (just use Ctrl+F for easier searching) and your CID. Since the CID isn't explicitly mentioned in the RUU names you may have to search for the meaning of your phones CID (for example in a list like this one).
If the needed RUU is a *.zip then you have to rename the file to 0PJAIMG.zip (that's a zero not an O), copy it on an external sd card that is not bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32 and put the sd card into your phone. If you now enter download mode your phone should guide you through the rest of the procedure.
If the needed RUU is an *.exe then you just have to connect you phone to your pc and start the file (on windows).

I had access, the build number is 1.32.401.17 CL506785 release keys. However from download mode I got Mainversion: 1.32.401.15. So I guess I have to use the latter right? I do not need to be S-OFF, because I can't make it....

Ok there are two 1.32.401.15 version for Europe,that only differs in the release: Which should I use
1. 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.15_R1_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_426891_signed.zip

Edit2: I forgot another important thing. (Sorry, I'm in a little hurry right now.) Your CID needs to correspond to the RUU you want to run. Since you never mentioned any branding I'm assuming that it is something like HTC__*** so that you can use a European RUU. You can find out by booting into download mode. (I'm not completely sure whether it's written there if you are S-ON. If not you can either try using an app like CID Getter or the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all".) If your CID differs from HTC__*** I would suggest you to post it here together with the build number so that it's easier for me or someone else to guide you to the correct RUU.

I think that the original stock was 1.32.401.15 as ARHD 5.2 that I flashed comes with the 1.32.401.17

Yes, that's right. Since there has not been an aboot update until now you can also try to install the 1.32.401.8 RUU and then update via the stock OTA function. I've done this with my phone before I got S-OFF so I know that it works. This way you can be sure that the correct version of the 401.15 firmware gets installed.

Ok, I already installed the first release of 1.32.408.15. it worked flawlessly. Should I relock (or lock) the phone to receive OTA?
Use a 32 GB card tip saved my day! ( I had a 128 GB which the phone didn't read)
Thank you all.

I am now trying the second release as the first one did not recognize 5G wifi networks.
Is it possible to receive OTA once you have an unlocked bootloader? XX.15 is the latest version? because ARHD has XX.17?
thanks again

Actually I don't know whether it's necessary to relock the bootloader if you want to install an OTA but I would guess it is. The 401.15 version is the latest European one. 401.17 is only receivable on HTC__J** but llabtoofer stated on his twitter account that the next European update is waiting around the corner.
You mentioned earlier that you cannot connect your phone with your PC and that fastboot isn't working. Did you try to connect your phone to another PC/Laptop (maybe your parents/siblings/friends can help you out if you don't own another one)? As far as I know there is no way to relock bootloader without a PC.

[Q] Back to full stock with s-on

Hi guys,
need your help.
I have Europe M9, with S-ON.
Rooted it, and installed TWRP, installed custom rom.
How to revert it to full stock? I have sold the phone, and now buyer wants it back to way it were.
Thanks.

Thankfully it's pretty easy; just download your carrier specific RUU to restore to full stock. It's a Windows executable that completely wipes & return your phone to factory state.

I have bought it in Telenor Serbia it was on 1.32.401.15. Should I use any Europe RUU, or do I need to find one exact to match my carrier, and-or my firmware version?
sorry if being noob, but cannot understand this HTC's nonsense (s-on/s-off, cid, hboot...) thats the exact reason why I have sold it. to complicated for me...
I just want it up and running, and trust me, I will never EVER buy another HTC again.

Since there are two different versions of your firmware and I don't know which one is the correct one for you I would suggest you to use this firmware and downgrade to 1.32.401.8. This works because the aboot has not been updated until now. The process itself is very easy:
Download the RUU
Rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip (that's a zero at the beginning not an O)
Copy the file on an external SD card that is formatted to fat32 and not bigger than 32 gb
Boot into download mode
Follow the instructions that are shown on your M9's screen
Congratulation you are now back on stock rom and firmware
You have to use either this way or the fastboot flashing method since there are no RUU executables for the european version.
Btw: No one here forced you to buy the M9. Since it's simply a matter of taste it's up to you which device you choose. I personally prefer HTC's user friendliness in regard to bootloader unlock and rooting (compare it for example with Samsung's Knox system). But this is not the right place for that debate.
Edit: Since my phone is S-OFF I'm not completely sure but you might have to relock your bootloader or step 5 might no work properly.

I have the same problem, i wanna know how to restore it to full stock, i need it just in case something happens to phone and i need to use my waranty. I'm also on telenor serbia. Any detailed instructions would be much appreciated. And one more thing, will i be able to recevie OTA updates even though its rooted ?

Root by itself doesn't prevent OTAs, but changes to the recovery do. As far as I know, acquiring root (for this device) always involves flashing a custom recovery. So OTA aren't possible until the stock recovery is restored.

Do I need to have sd card, or can I flash it from pc using adb?
I have already tried this method, and fastboot gave me an error 22? Maybe I got wrong firmware. Will try again, thanks.

What version ?

As far as I know, there is only one. Search in forums.

This is what I get when try to flash from adb.
used the file from post on first page,

try this RUU: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...6.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_2_4.exe

I'm also interested if it's possible to go back to stock from a S-ON with RUU_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.17_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_429340_signed_2_4.exe

If you are S-ON you can only flash a RUU for your carrier and device. If that's the correct RUU for your phone, it will do it.

The question is where can you find correct RUU from specific carrier

So if you're an European open you can't really flash without s off?

There is a RUU list in the General forum. Not all configurations have RUUs, unfortunately, as it has always been with HTC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545

By far the easiest way for the inexperienced is to use the windows exe version linked to a few posts ago .
If you're on 1.32.401.15 then simply flash 1.32.401.17 using the exe version. Simply run windows program and follow on screen prompts .
Main limitation if you're S on is it will only allow upgrade that is to go to higher number as described .
I think there is also a 1.32.401.8 exe but that's an earlier version so if you tried to use that and you were on higher version such as 1.32.401.15 then it wouldn't allow unless you had obtained S off.

One more thing, i received lates OTA update, but it wont instal because recovery isnt stock. I found stock signed, when i flash it will the phone factory reset or not ?

my phone messed up

im new to all this.
im S-Off, and semi root, SuperSU doesn't really give half of my apps root acces for some reason.
i want to do a full reset to the phone (Return to 100% Stock)
i want just to clean it all out (which factor reset doesn't do that)
and update my softer from lolipop 5.0 to 5.1
i got HTC__621 (twiwan version)
software number 1.32.709.14
how to do all this? what i need to do?
(to flashout new TWRP2.8.7.0? then superSU 2.49 beta from the beginning?
and if i want to install Viper ROM, i need to do that after all?)
i hope to get explanation cuz i got lost on all the words (OTA - which i dont know yet lol, CID etc etc)
i got like 10 pages of guides open and yet i dont know what to do or what steps to follow.

As far as I know there is no RUU and no stock system backup for your firmware version. Nevertheless that's not a problem since you can always run RUUs that are newer than your firmware (even if you were S-ON you were able to do so). All you need to to is download the RUU.exe from here or here (it's actually the same file so it doesn't matter which link you choose). Then you need to boot to download mode and connect your phone with your pc. If you double click on the RUU.exe it may take some time till it starts but when it starts it will guide you through the rest of the process. During the flashing process your firmware will be updated to 1.36.709.3 but since you want update your firmware anyway I wouldn't consider this as an issue. Depending on your firewall and your antivirus software the RUU flashing might fail. If that's the case you should try again with disabled firewall and disabled antivirus software (I recommend disconnecting your pc from the internet before you do this).
Edit: Some vocabulary:
RUU = Rom Update Utility (a package leaked from HTC that can be used to get fully back to stock)
OTA (Update) = Over The Air Update (updates for your phone you can download via settings>about; some custom roms provide this feature, too)
CID = Customer ID (a combination of letters and numbers that tells you your phones country of origin and whether it is branded or not)
MID = Model ID (a combination of letters and numbers that identifies your phones model and its version; example: the international M9's MID is 0PJA10000 whereas the T-Mobile US version's MID is 0PJA12000)
Edit2: If you want to install the viper rom you don't need to root beforehand since that custom rom already is rooted.
Edit3: I just noticed that my signature isn't visible here. There is a newer version of TWRP at the end of the third post in this thread.

so if i install viper i just need to flash it in?
and what happen if i want to update to normal lolipap 5.1
cuz im at 5.0 and i always geting the update window and sick of it
want to update it alredy XD

The RUU is for restoring the ability of installing HTC's official OTAs. After you used the RUU you can update your phone using the OTA function in settings>about. After that you can reflash TWRP and install the viper rom. Since the viper rom is already rooted there is no need to flash supersu manually via TWRP.
I recommend you to read at least the whole first 3 posts in the TWRP thread I linked in my previous post. There you will find the information you need to create a backup of your stock system that is able to install future OTAs since the 2.10 firmware won't be the last one and you might face a similiar situation like this one in the future.
Edit: Although the RUU.exe will warn you, too: Using a RUU deletes all your data on the phone so back up everything that is important (contacts, messages, pictures, etc.).

Phone automatically starts into bootloader and flashing doesnt work

So as you might have heard, android 6.0 is out on htc one m8 now, and as usual i wanted to update. I got my device into a bootloop after unrooting and downloading some OTA's online, and messing around with stuff that didnt work.
But now im rly stuck, when i boot my phone up it automatically boots into bootloader. I cant flash a boot.img because i get a signature verify fail. Updating with RUU returns error 130 and factory resetting doesnt do anything at all(in fastboot and in recovery). plzzzz help

Hi,
Did you try to reflash your recovery and try to install another rom like ViperOne M8? Or if you want i can send you the stock ROM Android 6.0

You seem to be going about things rather haphazardly:
1) Not sure exactly what "some OTAs" refers to. But there is typically only one OTA that will properly work. That being the one that is for your CID (carrier version) and for the next software version (can't skip any).
2) Along the same lines, you can't just flash any RUU. It has to be for your CID and MID (Error 130 usually means wrong MID), and equal or greater version number than main version on the phone (no "downgrading" unless you have s-off).
3) "messing around with stuff that didnt work" doesn't tell us anything about how you got to the current condition. You need to be specific and detailed, if you want us to be able to tell what you did, and how to recovery.
4) You can't unroot and OTA, it has to be a stock (never rooted) ROM and stock recovery.
5) boot.img in itself probably won't help your situation. And signature verify fail usually means you tried to flash without the bootloader unlocked (which won't work).

Are you S-OFF? If so, this works;
1) Download 0P6BIMG.zip. You'll have to Google
"dottat @ XDA M8 RUU" to get the file as I haven't
made at least ten posts here and can't post links yet.
2) Place 0P6BIMG.zip on an SD card formatted fat32 ONLY.
3) Boot your phone, allow HBOOT to recognize 0P6BIMG.zip
and follow the prompts.
RESULT: This will land you on STOCK kitkat 1.55.605.2
pre-rooted with stock recovery.
