Hello,
Usually i don't write messages on English forums, but nobody in Poland is able to help me. My friend asked me to update hes stock software of HTC ONE M9 by manufacturer update from 2.10.206.2 to 2.10.206.180. because this update is available. He couldn't do it by himself because somebody flash this phone with TWRP. I've installed stock recovery, but phone still does not allow me to install update or force install it by flashing with bootloader (OTA and recovery software downloaded from xda). I wanted to post some pictures but forum rules doesn't allow me to do it. So I will just point you guys to my polish thread so you can look at the photos. forum.android.com.pl/topic/273151-aktualizacja-stockowego-romu-z-twrp/
You need an untouched system image. File-based OTAs aren't used anymore on "newer" devices like the M9. Block-based OTAs can't be installed anymore as soon as you flash anything via twrp. Either use one of the backups or the Android M RUU for the SKU 206 which you can find both in my google sheet (link can be found in my signature).

I know that probably for you it is a stupid question but which file would be the best for me? can you paste this file name? And would I be able to install it by standart ''fastboot oem rebootRUU ;htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'' commands?
Boot to Download Mode and look at the line with OS at the beginning. That's your current firmware version. Either restore the corresponding backup and then install the updates via the OTA function in settings>about or flash a RUU that has at least the same firmware version (in this case you need to install the OTAs via settings>about) or a newer one (in this case the phone will get updated automatically). [Hint: There only is one O2/206 RUU which fulfills this requirement.] Flashing instructions or restoring instructions can be found directly above the downloads.
You could flash a RUU via fastboot but I personally prefer recommending the SD card method since there are so many reasons why fastboot can fail (missing drivers, still installed Sync Manager, general problems with Win 8/8.1/10 - just to name a few) and it's easier for me to help if you use more fail-safe method.
I've tried to install two stock backups Stock_Backup_2.10.206.180.zip and Stock_Backup_2.10.206.2.zip, neither of them didnt want to flash. I've tried two ways, first in recovery partition via update from sd and second from download mode via 0PJAIMG.ZIP and this is what i got.

and
postimg.org/image/mnrdgk8vv/
After trying to update from recovery i got:

I didn't do any RUU because i dont see any that would fit my phone, if I'm wrong please correct me. And please help me
I actually don't understand why you completely ignore the instructions above the download links. I'm not going to rephrase every step you have to make since they're all explained in the google sheet.
As mentioned in the sheet those are TWRP backups so you have to restore them with TWRP. Neither the stock recovery nor the SD card method are able to handle them. (The latter is only meant to be used for RUUs.) Besides I told you to look at the line with OS at the beginning when you boot to Download Mode. I highly doubt that it states 2.10.206.8 and 2.10.206.180 at the same time. Choose the one that corresponds to your current firmware version and restore it via TWRP.
Concerning your search for the correct RUU: I told you that the SKU has to match and that you need to look at the 206 RUUs. There are only four RUUs which can be found in the sheet and fulfill this requirement [in chronological order]: 1.32.206.6, 1.32 206.15, 1.40.206.8 and 3.35.206.13. I told you to choose the one that has at least the same firmware version as your phone or a higher one. From your previous posts I know that your firmware is 2.10.206.x. So which of the four has the same or a newer version?

No its not 2.10.206.8 or 2.10.206.180 its 2.10.206.2, as I shown in my first post. Ok I will give it another try, thanks for help.

Hey all, im not very software proficient, and I need some help in updating my HTC One M9 to Marshmallow.
I recently purchased it from my friend, and apparently, its an International version that is also the developers edition.
It came with TWRP already installed, but I flashed the stock recovery so that I could install the update from HTC itself, But everytime it finishes downloading the update, it gives me an error about it not downloading the correct file. I dont get it, cause its pretty much downloading it by itself, how can it not download the right version.
Is there anyway for me to check and find out exactly what version of the phone this is. Can someone please send me a reliable download link for the official Marshmallow update (already tried using the file on the official HTC website, but apparently had a file size flash limit, this was when using TWRP, not the official recovery) and detailed steps on how to flash it. I have tried multiple ways and have always stumbled upon several errors. Really hoping that nothing is wrong with my phone.
Thank you in advance.
Are you sure it's a developer edition, how do you know this?.

I dont know if it is or not, because when I got the phone, on startup it would give me text in red saying "developers edition, this phone is not for resale of distribution outside blah blah" I dont remember the exact text. But after I flashed the official recovery file, it doesnt give me that anymore.
So lets say its not a developers edition, how do I go about updating it?

That text is an indication that the bootloader got unlocked and that someone flashed something so that the phone is modified and not stock, anymore. It has nothing to do with the developer edition of the M9. The developer edition is just a US version of the M9 which gets delivered with a factory unlocked bootloader. Therefore chances are high that you flashed the wrong (in other words an incompatible) stock recovery. You need to find out the current firmware version of the phone and restore everything to stock by using a TWRP backup or a RUU. My signature contains a link to my google sheet. There you'll find instructions how to find and flash the correct RUU or how to find and correctly restore a corresponding TWRP backup. If you don't follow the instructions you won't be able to update your phone. Updates for the M9 and every other HTC phone that is newer are different than the ones for older HTC phones. My sheet might not contain a RUU for your firmware or a corresponding backup since I don't support every existing firmware. However you can find additional files in my thread (which is linked in the sheet, too, or can be found by visiting the general section). If no one contributed the files you need here on xda you'll need to use Llabtoofer's RUU service. Be aware that it's not for free.

So according to your chart, and my software number which is 1.32.61.15 it would mean that I have the a.bb.61.d - Orange UK (United Kingdom) version? Am I deducing this correctly?

Correct. You're lucky. There is a RUU for your version on androidruu. Just google for "androidruu" and "HTC M9". You can use the instructions in my sheet for flashing it.

Just to be sure, if my friend who was previously using this phone, flashed another rom on it with the incorrect version, wouldnt the software number also change? Is there no other way to confirm the version of the phone?
Also, do I use the official TWRP download link in your sheet, is it the correct version for my phone?

The number in settings > about changes with the rom you're flashing. The one located in the download mode only changes if you update the phone with an official OTA or if you set your phone S-OFF via sunshine (which costs 25 bucks) and flash a RUU (or one of sneakyghost's firmware packs) with a different sku afterwards. However if the phone is S-OFF it wouldn't matter which RUU he flashed since with S-OFF almost every RUU can be used with your phone. Only CDMA versions (e.g. Verizon ones) stay incompatible.
Tl;dr: Just flash the 1.32.61.15 one. It's either way compatible with the phone.

You are a helpful genius mate, thank you. Just waiting for the download to finish, then will follow your steps. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you again.
Hello,
I have bought HTC One M9 off Aliexpress.
I bought it as developer version. When it came I started OTA upgrade. It downloads and then it says update cannot be performed because of modified system.
I cant even use RUU to get it working, I receive error 132. While chatting to HTC support their run my IMEI by their system. It came back as T-Mobile (US) version. Even though on back of my phone is engraved -
Model: OPJA110 which should mean it is developer version.
On my download mode it states: S-on, official system and locked bootloader.
Can anyone give me some tips how to get the newest system installed?
I have been trying for past 2 days without any luck to figure it out.
Any help is appreciate.
EDIT: Forgot CID:11111111 MID: 0PJA11000
Thank you very much.
Please read the ReadMe thread. It'll explain the causes of your issues and contains the needed files and instructions for fixing it. (C.f. the conversion guide, the RUU and the OTA section)
The most important infos: OTAs aren't installable while the phone is using the SuperCID and firmware 4.x RUUs aren't flashable on phones with firmware 3.x or lower due to new encryption keys.

I have read ReadMe.
So that means I need to S-OFF my phone using SunShine (other oprions?)
Then changing CID to BS_US001 (because Im running .617. system)
Then I can flash RUU (3.35.617.31)
And after that I can use OTA updates?
Do I need to unlock bootloader through HTCdev or is enough to check OEM Unlocking under developer options?
Thank you again for your time.
Oh, I missed that you're S-ON. Follow the unlocking/rooting guide in the same thread.
If you're lucky the previous owner used Sunshine, as well, so that you don't have to pay, again. (The license is saved on their servers and gets linked to the device.) The alternatives to Sunshine are a Java card, an XTC clip or similar tools which are way more expensive.
It doesn't matter which of the CIDs that belong to SKU 617 you use. They both work fine.
Alternatively, you could send the device back to the seller and ask for a refund. He obviously modified the phone and didn't restore the phone to a stock state properly before he sold it. The phone definetly was S-OFF in the past since no HTC phone gets shipped with the SuperCID. And if the IMEI belongs to a T-Mobile M9 according to HTC then the MID got changed with the help of S-OFF, as well. The backside can actually get replaced, too, if you know how to do it.
After you restored a CID that corresponds to your SKU you should be able to receive OTAs, again. Just for safety reasons I'd flash a 3.x RUU, as well, if I were you. The differences between the GSM versions of the M9 are so minor that you can convert the phone from one version to another. Therefore, you don't need to use the T-Mobile firmware and can stick with the dev one if you want.

Ok, Im gona pay that 25 bucks, it doesnt really matter.
So, I should start with unlocking bootloader via HTCdev.
After that I need to use SunShine.
Changing CID.
Flashing 3.x RUU.
And then doing OTA.
Is that all correct?
And should I install TWRP or stay on stock recovery after unlocking bootloader?
Really appreciate your time.
Correct.
Just follow the guides in the ReadMe thread starting from this post till the end of the conversion guide. (Theoretically, you can skip the backup part and save some time since you should be able to use the 3.x RUU even with the SuperCID on your phone.)

Thanks,
is there a point in TWRP backup? Wont it stop OTA updates? On my other phone (Ulefone Metal) It is not possible to get OTA with custom recovery.
It actually is possible on the M9 and newer HTC phones as long as the system partition doesn't get modified, beforehand. (Further info can be found in the OTA section of the ReadMe thread.)
However, flashing a RUU restores everything on the phone back to stock (including the recovery). That's why I suggested flashing one after changing the CID.

Thank you, I did as I said.
After flashing 3.x RUU OTA was successful.
That updated my system to: 4.16.617.6.
After that I continued by flashing latest RUU (4.30.617.12).
Everything went well. Until this point. When I booted the device I got to choose language. But there are just few (20 or so) available.
Unfortunately no Czech which I want. On previous version (4.16.617.6) there was huge list to choose from, including Czech.
Im still using 617 edition.
Where is the problem? Is here a way to get Czech lang. working again?
One again thank you for your time and effort
HTC probably removed the languages from the selection. Don't ask me why. I have no clue.
You could try setting up the phone in English and then switching to Czech via the app MoreLocal2. There's a thread about the app somewhere hidden on xda (sorry, I don't have a direct link at hand). You should be able to find it via google.

Flippy498 said:
Rom Update Utilities (RUUs) are *.exe or *.zip files with which you can reflash the stock system and the whole firmware of your phone quite easily.
Strictly speaking only the *.exe files are RUUs (which are nothing more than a *.zip file combined with a fancy installer and HTC_Fastboot files). However, people got used to call them both RUUs and since most of the files here are *.zip files I don't want to start nitpicking.
[*]The catch is that HTC only provides RUU.exe files for their US customers. All other RUUs which you can find in this post got leaked somehow and no one knows if or when new non-US RUUs are going to be available. That's why it might happen that non-US users can't find a publicly available RUU they could use with their phone.

Q19: I couldn't find a RUU or a TWRP backup in this thread that are flashable on my phone. What shall I do now?
A: You have two choices (none of them is for free). If you choose the second one you could help the community a lot by re-uploading the RUU on AFH.
Use Llabtoofer's RUU Service
Try to find a suitable RUU on websites that leak them (e.g. easy-firmware)

In Canadian, flippy means "yes you can". S-off and unlocked bootloader makes no difference. Just flash a stock firmware of the exact same version (see "software version" in settings - software information) that you have now and accept the ota updates as they arrive. If you cannot find a firmware of the same version you are SOL.
There is 2 methods to flash stock firmware. I prefer the external sdcard method (.zip) but you can do it from pc with an RUU program (.exe) via USB.
As stated in the first post the problem is actually that the OP couldn't find a RUU they could use. I just explained why that is the case by quoting the ReadMe thread and highlighting the important parts in red.
And there are more than two methods for flashing a RUU. ?

I have the file on my external sdcard for those moments where your phone thinks it's a toaster.
A lot will depend on whether your phone is locked to carrier or not. Carrier versions are hard to find.

Htc has never provided and is never going to provide RUUs for their non-US devices. They even stopped providing US RUUs since the U11. If you own a non-US HTC device or a US model that is at least as young as the U11 then you rely on the files that get leaked on websites like ir-file or easy-firmware. The file that is linked above is a re-upload of such a leaked RUU since ir-file and easy-firmware require you to pay per download.

Every HTC flagship reaches its EOL state two years after its launch. For the M9, this date was in spring 2017. In other words, unless you plan to flash an Oreo-based custom rom you won't see Android 8 on your M9.

Aternatively, you can use the RUU that got linked above. It's the latest unbranded European RUU. It doesn't matter which SKU you use. The differences are almost non-existent.
(Sidenote: There is no WWE SKU. SKU 401 equals the unbranded European version, 708 the unbranded Asian/Hongkong version, 709 the unbranded Asian/Taiwanese version, 710 the unbranded Australian version and 617 the unbranded US American version.)

I will try that RUU linked above....
The emergency Red/Orange Triangle that is linked to E911 in settings....says it cannot be removed and I believe it is so USA citizens can get Red, Amber and Yellow terrorist threat alerts!!
Even when rooted I can't find it to remove and it seems to have cropped up in Marshmallow and Nougat HTC OS's
Wait, so you don't own a European M9? If that's the case and the phone is S-ON then you won't be able to use the 401 RUU. And in case it's an American CDMA variant, you won't be able to use that RUU without damaging the phone, either, even if the phone is S-OFF.
Please take a look at the ReadMe thread. It contains all information you'll need for finding the correct RUU for your phone.
I've never heard of such an app. I've never owned a US M9, either, though.

Thanks for your concern Flippy, no chill, I've got an International M9, (At leased that's whay the guy in China told me)
I've Unlocked Bootloader, S-Off (using Sunshine) and it was rooted until yesterday when I upgraded the Firmware to the Latest 4.30.617.12 and installed the RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.30.617.12 exe.
Now the phone has unrooted itself and got rid of TWRP, Software Status saying Official (Fabulous)
So yep, I am aware though that, that is a USA RUU that's why I wanted the European one, however that linked one above is an earlier version....so still not the latest but it might have OTA if its official...?
It is the latest build. The numbering always differs between the SKUs.
And RUUs overwrite every partition on your phone. That's why you lost root and TWRP and the phones status got reset to official by flashing the US RUU.

Am I being stupid, I'm trying to flash this in TWRP, says file is corrupt....should I be adb sidelining it?
Please read the ReadMe thread. Being a *.zip archive doesn't equal being flashable via TWRP.

It's not having it flippy, the zip file is corrupt. I've downloaded three times on three separate devices and I'm getting the same error.
More than that, I cannot actually extract the zip!

And what I also need to do is downgrade my firmware or at least change it to the international version but I can't do that because I am getting a weird error....10 but bot the 10 mentioned in sneakyghosts firmware thread.
It's saying something about wrong device or hardware..
But I think that's just because I've got US firmware in it
As said before, read the ReadMe thread. You can't flash RUUs via TWRP and you can't unzip them the normal way since they're encrypted. All you're describing is expected behavior. The file is working fine. I've already used it several times.
And error 10 indicates that you didn't change your MID. A step by step guide for converting your phone can be found in the ReadMe thread, as well.

Hi Yep Flippy, thanks 10 RU_MODELID_FAIL.
Yeah, I have to change my MID using fastboot oem writemid and I think I have to change it to 0PJA10000 but I'm not entirely sure. At the moment the MID is 0PJA11000 (Dev Edition) for whatever reason I think the International version is 0PJA10000.
Can you or anyone confirm this or tell me how to determine?
I cannot extract the Zip file to have a look!
Yes, that's the correct MID. It's mentioned in above the downloads in the RUU section of the ReadMe thread, as well.

Thank you Flippy, I have never been so happy to see the words "English (United Kingdom)"
As a quick note HTC said this:
Good day,
Thank you for contacting HTC Email support department.
Sadly we do not have an end user RUU's, if you need a software reflash you can do that through our repair center, you can double check the phone shipping country by replying back with the imei number or serial number and we will be able to provide more accurate information.
lol

Hey thanks Shivadow, without your lovely RUU, I would not have been able to complete my mission. I am aware that you went out of your way to find that link so my most sincere gratitude.
