HTC One M9
Hello,
I wonder why the HBOOT is now called ABOOT with the One M9.. is it just because it`s new design.. or are there more changes that we should be careful with?
Thanks a lot

I think its mainly like the HBOOT on the M8, maybe only a name change, but i can't say, because i did not diff the files and i'm not really into digging into
bootloader images, i only do the needed edits and then i'm done.
Mismatched MID and CID
Hello. I just got S-off on my HTC one M9 Developer Edition in order to flash this firmware, but found (through getvar all) that my MID and CID are not the same. Why is this, and is there a way to fix it?
MID: OPJA11000
CID: BS_US002

Of course they're not the same it wouldn't be good for your device if they were.
MID: a combination of numbers, letters and/or additional characters that identify your the device (as for example a HTC M9)
CID: a combination of numbers, letters and/or additional characters that identify the country of origin of your device and whether it's branded and sold by a carrier or not.
For example the MID and CID of an european M9 which is unbranded and sold in Germany are 0PJA10000 (that's a zero at the beginning not an O) and HTC__102.
Edit: Both, your MID and your CID, are the correct ones for the developer edition.
Sorry

I didn't mean mismatched as in not the same, I meant as in unable to flash this firmware for that reason (that they do not match any provided MID or CID).

Ok, sorry for missunderstanding your post. Well, the x.xx.401.xx firmware versions are meant to be used on the international version of the M9 which can be identified by the supported MID and CIDs. You could change both IDs using fastboot commands but since the hardware of the U.S. variants is slightly different* I don't think it is a good idea to flash this firmware on your phone. In the worst case you might get a nice new paperweight if your phone is not compatible with that firmware. Besides I don't think it'll take too long until the official 1.40.xxx.xx firmware is going to be distributed via the OTA function of the stock HTC rom.
*Blame the fact that U.S. carriers use the CDMA network standard while most other parts of the world are using GSM.
Isn't it GSM?

Last I checked, only Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. Does Developer Edition include that functionality?

Seems like you're right. As far as I read the developer edition is almost the same as the AT&T version which uses GSM. I thought every U.S. carrier uses CDMA. Nevertheless there must be a difference since your MID differs from the international one. If the hardware were the same there would be no need to use a different MID. Of course you could try installing the 1.40.401.xx firmware using the commands in the hide box but I cannot garantee that it will work or that your phone is still usable afterwards. I would actually suggest you to ask here whether you won't brick your phone by flashing the x.xx.401.xx version.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid <input desired CID without "<" and ">"here>
Code:
fastboot oem writemid <input desired MID without "<" and ">" here>
Edit: Seems like it won't "hurt" your phone to convert it to the international version.
developer editions on GSM
Hi all
i am wondering if the 1.32.617.30 developer firmware and RUU stuff will work on a GSM phone or more to the point a European phone.
The phone in question is mine it is unlocked and s-off and on super sid i just wanna make sure i still get phones call and stuff
any help or advise would be great
thanks guys
Hi thabks..is there any release date for the internatuonal 2.10 ruu??
Hi guys, need help here
I relocked my M9 and make it S-ON. im using firmware 2.7.401.1 I cannot install from any RUU, it seems there is no RUU that match with my firmware. I make mistake should S-ON the device later, but i already did it, so now i cannot use the phone because there is no OS on it.
I try to unlock bootloader, and cannot retrieve the token when using fastboot oem get_identifier_token. I read that since 5.1 you need to turn on unlock option in developer options, but i cannot do that, since the OS is already wiped
Is there any solution for this ?
Thanks.
when will we have the ruu zip 2.10.401.1 so we may be able to apply the SDCARD method to have a full clean stock flash?
I would like to have flashed in this way instead of going all the hard way in flashing ruuzip stock 1.40 and then upgrading by ota´s.
Thanks for all efforts, Nepht Legion.
need help to remove red text
Hi,
I have a HTC m9 asian variant ( on the download menu i get 2.1.709.1) . I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp , root, S-off, supercid installed.
I am running Maximus 6.0 rom based on 2.1.401.
I need to get the red text removed and have tried all the mentioned ways via adb to no success. I have very limited knowledge in this area, Can someone please help me ?

Hi All,
Apologies if this is the wrong thread to post this in, just wanted to find out if anyone else has tried to manual install an ota on a M9 s-off.
I copy it to my SD and select to install it via stock recovery. It checks the file and starts the update and not once have i spotted an error, but once it is back up and running android, it is still on the old version.
I'm currently trying to go from 2.10.401.1 to 2.10.401.180, and if I go to aboot, it actual says the new version, but the OS version is still the old.
I would seem that the system partition isn't being updated.
Is there something i'm doing wrong? I tried the usual, googling and searching xda, but haven't found a solution yet.
Thanks

First .. we need to know your device current hboot, CID, MID & etc.
Put your device in bootloader mode and connect to PC and open a command prompt from where you have your fastboot/adb files. then run this command in the command prompt
fastboot getvar all
copy the result and post here but delete the IMEI no & Serial no.
If you don't have fastboot/adb installed, read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Hmmm... m8_ul_ca ... means it's not a HKG device and not a EU device
If I'm not wrong m8_ul_ca is either AT&T or Developer Edition device. (m8_ul_ca I believe is a US device)
but previously S-Offed to change the MID to EU and SuperCID.
And that's explain your 4G problem in your country, most probably is the radio band version which I'm not familiar with.
@redpoint73 - can you help on this radio matter as you are more expert on this
You can try either using EU 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
you need to relock bootloader and make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything
Or you install latest TWRP and restore 4.16.401.10 backup (no need to relock bootloader)
then check whether your 4G is working or not.

and mine an Asian one has 0P6B110 too. Eventhough that website say Taiwan has 0P6B150 but that is for m8_ul_tw because the regular Taiwan m8_ul is 0P6B110
So don't worry so much on this what written on the back because it's getting weird for a m8_ul_ca to have 0P6B110 instead of 0P6B120

With your current hboot, you should be able to run any lollipop ROM. You can give that ROM a try .. maybe some configuration in that ROM will help your radio (4G) problem.

Coming from someone of your knowledge, I consider that quite a complement!
Ironically, the radio number is neither for AT&T or Dev Edition. But actually matches what is listed for the Euro RUU you linked:

To the OP, what country are you in?
Who is your carrier, and do you know what LTE bands they use?
You asked about a ROM then you ask me to link a ROM ...
that's something that I cannot do because I don't use any of those custom ROMs as I'm on my own made ROM (including SkyDragon is part of my ROM).
I believe all ROMs are good. You just need to try all of them and see which is best suit you. SkyDragon you have 4G problem.. then try MaximusHD, LeeDroid, Viper, InsertCoin & etc.
Maybe try MaximusHD first as this is close to stock custom ROM so less modding/tweaking for you to handle.
You need to see whether 4G is working on this ROM then later try other ROM too ... that's all

I agree, its really strange the product ID (m8_ul_ca is for AT&T) does not match the MID (0P6B110) on back of the phone.
The phone was also likely s-off previously, as the CID was clearly changed (to SuperCID) and the MID listed in the getvar output is 0P6B100 (also probably changed by the previous owner).

Yeah .. believe that's the case .. and I guess on the back of the phone it is written as M8x as 0P6B110 usually for M8x.
But product ID is m8_ul_ca suggests the back cover is most probably just a replacement cover.

Ah yes, a replacement cover, what makes much more sense now!
So its most likely an AT&T variant, with replacement back cover, that was previously s-off, changed to Euro MID, SuperCID, and Euro firmware flashed (maybe all Euro software before the OP started modding it).
I recommend again that the OP verify that his carrier is using bands that are supported by the Euro version (at least tell us what country, carrier, and what LTE bands that carrier uses, if known). My guess is "no" and in which case, OP will probably need to s-off and flash the proper radio that supports the required LTE bands.

I always wonder if a device was S-Offed with SunShine by the previous owner, then the new owner use SunShine to S-Off again, I think the SunShine apk will run and will not request for payment.
What I know SunShine should work on the same device multiple times provided the motherboard is not changed.
Something for OP to try.

Hello guys, I need a asap help and will be very thankful for guidance.
I recently bought a used HTC one M8 Gold 32GB, it is in pristine condition, just weeks used, but when I came home and did a reset I realized that it was a rooted phone. But then I discovered that there were some apps like Sprint Worldwide and there were many instances where I found Sprint written, (I have no SIM installed and neither do we have Sprint in our country). So I ended up assuming that it was rooted by the original user solely to unlock the device? I am currently in 4.4.2 and unable to update as it keeps stucking on checking screen. Now I want to revert the device to its original condition and need help doing that. I heard that it can be done by installing RUU so I went to:
htc . com / us / support/rom-downloads
and downloaded: 4.25.651.18 (assuming it is a Sprint)
and then placed it in the sdcard but after HBOOT takes some loading time, it just says invalid image. I have also tried renaming it with no hope.
the bootloader is Locked/ M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF.

First you need to post the results of fastboot getvar all. REMOVE your serial and IMEI numbers from the pasted info before posting. We need to see hopefully the firmware that is currently on the device.
If it is Sprint and you have downloaded the correct RUU file, you do NOT put it on the SD card, you leave it on your Windows PC, attach the device to the PC with USB cable and run the RUU as administrator in Windows. Before that, download HTC Sync Manager and let it install, then delete it. It will leave behind the HTC drivers which you need.

It's definitely Sprint but the firmware is ancient. Run the RUU file and hopefully it will go thru. If not, we'll have to find a way to update your firmware one at a time, but as you are S-OFF it will be easy enough as long as we can find the firmwares.
Sprint RUU can be found Here, this is the latest Lollipop version.
Get your phone into fastboot mode and simply run the RUU .exe file while your phone is plugged into the computer via USB.

Sprint is CDMA. No doubt about it. The CDMA version M8 supports CDMA, GSM and HSPA, but not as many HSPA bands as the "pure" GSM M8 (basically any version except Sprint and Verizon).
What bands does your carrier use for 3G (HSPA)? I'm guessing that your carrier uses bands not supported by the Sprint version. In which case, you are out of luck. The Sprint (or Verizon) version is not recommended for anyone outside the US, and not on the specific (Sprint or Verizon) carrier.
You can't flash RUU, radio, or firmware from other versions to Sprint (even with s-off). As mentioned, the flash will either fail or brick the phone.

It won't work. If your device is CDMA and mine is GSM, you could brick your device totally.

I have changed my CID and MID. And btw can any one of you tell why the International version + Developer/Unlocked are still on 5.0.1 unlike the (my) Sprint version's 5.0.2 ...? Due to this issue, currently I am unable to flash any other lower (but international for 3G support) version of RUU exe regardless of me being on compatible CID/MID.

Never ever install an intl version/dev edition to your sprint device. It may brick it.
Where is your region currently ? Which country ?
Maybe change of these helps :

I guess, it will not brick because I have changed my CID and MID according to the RUU version. Correct me if I am wrong?
I live in Asia, Pakistan.

God almighty man, READ WHAT HE SAYS. You cannot and should not flash WWE anything on a Sprint device. What part of that do you NOT UNDERSTAND?
Hello guys, I flashed CM13 (himaul GSM) to Chinese M9W (this is my first htc phone), and i thought it will work welll, but it didn't go well than i except. Now It doesn't recognize SIM card, IMEI number anymore. After that I realized I deleted 2 days ago TWRP backups of my M9W.
It's board number is himauhl. Same version as European M9. But with different CID, HTCCN_701.
I can't found suitable RUU to my HTC M9W with HTCCN_701 CID. I found but it was in Chinese, I couldn't understand anything so I am not sure it's cid suitable to mine. Link: http://htcui.com/8812.html
If you guys know how to find suitable rom (RUU) to this CID, I will appreciate to you guys. Thanks for reading.
I think you must wait for the ruu for your device and region.

I did a lot of research, and I learned all phones shipped with hima_uhl has got same motherboard (doesn't matter the region), including same Modem in SoC. So, I did S-OFF on USB with a guy who has special toolkit (he doesn't let me the see toolkit), It costs something like 10 Euro. I changed CID to HTC_M27 (Turkish CID), Installed European lollipop RUU and flashed International (hima_uhl) Modem via TWRP. Now it Works like a charm.
I hope this tutorial helps other people who have M9W and cannot able to find solution, BTW thanks for your answer

After you installed latest European RUU available with compatible CID, you need to mount all partitions and flash this file to get RIL functions working. Also after doing this you can also install European device compatible AOSP Roms.

In my opinion set CID to 11111111 to bypass any soft bricks. I flashed with Turkish CID because my friend wanted to. I prefer using 11111111.

I now got 1111111.
Next step is flashing the european ruu? Can you give me a link for it?
By the way my phone don't recognize sim card because its locked to sprint, this will override my problem? And the phone will no brick?

Hi guys, I am writing this from Bogota Colombia, My problem as mentioned before its that I cant update my phone cuus I bought it here in Bogota. I have spoken with customer service for Latam and they told me I have one HTC One M9 from sprint. My phone have the S-OFF and its locked. They tell me that I have to restore the security back ON and then I may download a RUU from sprint to be able to update it. But that its something I dont really want to do, as I dont want to set the S back ON nor do I want to update from Sprint. Anyone know of an international ruu I can use, or perhaps one for South America?
I read that i have to root my phone to be able to download some RUU that I can use here but to be able to do that I have to unlock the loadboot I have the unlocktoken from HTCDev but before I use it I want to ask you guys for advice as what should I do. I read that its a good idea to back up the EFS file (for obvious reasons) but not sure how to do it.
Here in Bogota I haven`t found anyone able to help me.
Thanks for any help and please dont mind any spell and grama errors.

You can keep S-OFF. There is no need to revert to S-ON since RUUs and OTAs don't check the security status of the phone. Either download the latest 651 RUU from HTC and use the *.exe file or head to the ReadMe thread, extract the *.zip from the *.exe and flash it via the SD card method that is described in that thread.
Be aware that you have no choice when it comes to picking a RUU. Sprint is a CDMA carrier and the CDMA variants of the M9 have a different partition layout than the GSM versions. You can't even flash other CDMA RUUs (e.g. from Verizon) without damaging your phone.

Thanks for the advice, I will download the RUU and see if it works, but one question what should I do to be able to recover my phone in case anything goes wrong? What would you suggest to use for back up my phone? i mean the efs files so I dont lose my IMEI and other data? thanks
You don't need to unlock your bootloader or root your phone for being able to flash a RUU. And to be honest, I never had to backup any efs files. That might be necessary for other Android devices but not for HTC ones.
Edit: Oh, and be aware that a RUU will erase all personal data on your phone. So backup important messages, contacts, pictures, etc...
