Beta Update for LG GW910 (Panther)?

Hello! I've read that LG Panther have an update which supports copy/paste, but zune writes me that my phone is up to date (my current build is 7003). I've tried to change a region and tried to sign in using different accounts, but that was hopeless... Any opinion?

I've heard the same thing, and as far as I know, it's not going out via Zune (I've not got it, or seen it on either a Taylor or a Panther). I think we'll just have to wait...

Same here. My zune and phone both don't detect updates.

I think regularly checking the Connect site might be the best option for finding new builds.

The update isn't there yet, but I suspect it'll go there before anywhere else.

i've searched in google about this and understood that zune must flash this update, but it haven't caused. I think a special version of zune exists (not 4.7).

I very much doubt you'll find an update, and I'm even more sceptical that it'll be on Zune. 4.7 is the latest version I know of, there might be some linking to Live IDs, or maybe only some devices/LiveIDs get the update.

Hello All,
I just wanted to chime in and say that I also have a GW910 and it also claims to be 100% up-to-date on version 7.0.7003.0
I just wondered if you lot all think that we will even get the update in 2011 at all.
Also... do any of you know what will happen regarding firmware updates (radio etc)?
I ask because I have a problem here in Luxembourg where my phone loses connection to HTTPS sites after a while. It can still connect to the internet but to anything related to HTTPS (SSL etc).
I know that it isn't a fault with the phone itself (Hardware) because it only happens when I am travelling around and my phone has to change between 3G and Edge quite often. It I stay at home, there is no problem at all.
Comments anyone??

I think we probably will get an update, there's not much point having developer hardware if we're developing on software that's out of date.
Radio updates etc I'm less sure about, my Taylor says the radio is from August, though the OS is much more recent.
That sounds like an issue with the general OS, and it may be being patched anyway, I'd see if you can submit that as a bug (via Connect) or via the on device feedback mechanism (can't remember how to access it, but I remember it being there).

According to this thread http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/77100.aspx, no dev phones will be updated.

You need NoDo in order to get Mango, so no. I still have my Panther, I'm just waiting on the next batch of hardware this fall so I can change over.

I found a copy of the ChevronWP7.Updater and was able to update my pre-release LG GW910 build 7004 to NoDo. After I did that I was able to install Mango beta 2.

Here is how I was able to get Mango installed on my pre-release developer phone (LG GW910).
NOTE: These directions are slightly modified to work as if you were starting from build 7004 (maybe 7003). After I the Chevron update I to install Mango beta 2 but received a 80180048 error. I used the backup that was created to get it back to the state just prior to the Mango update process.
The steps I took starting out with build 7004.
Run the ChevronWP7.Update twice to bring the phone up to build 7390 (NoDo)
Use the "Walshed" Phone support tool to put the device in a state where it can receive official updates - http://blog.walshie.me/walshed-phone-support-tool-official-fix-to-get-you-back-on-track
Be sure to follow the instructions and select ALL of the languages the keyboard supports.
Then following the Mango beta 2 installation instructions.
Mango beta 2 should install without any issues.
IMPORTANT: Uninstalling the Zune software will DELETE your backup. I created a RAR archive of the backup but kept it in the same folder and everything was wiped out.

Hello,
I have tried what you say, but sadly the ChevronWP7.unlocker doesn't seem to work.
I get the Black screen where is asks what language, and whatever I select the screen simply closes.
What OS did you use? Was it a 64bit OS or 32bit OS?
I want to try it again, but at the moment I am stuck.
Thanks
nebc100
P.S. would you be willing to send me a copy of the ChevronWP7.unlocker that you used?
If so PM me, and I will send you my e-mail address.

If you have tried it, disconnect your phone, reboot it, then connect it and wait for Windows to tell you the device has been correctly installed (if that hasn't happened yet). Then try ChevronWP7.Update again.
I used the 64-bit version. I'll find and post the link I used to download the app.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in your communication. It seems as if you had a Panther that already HAD 7004 loaded on to it, which allowed you to updated all the way to post-Nodo.
There is currently no way possible for the Chevron Updater to bring a 7003 Panther up to 7004. Useless Guy even opened up the source code and tried to force the program into update his device and it did not work.

I am sorry if I did not communicate that correctly. Yes, I started with a Panther which already had build 7004 on it.

I think I messed up again

For starters, I have an AT&T HTC M9. I unlocked the bootloader, and after a while, got TWRP 3.0.2.0 installed as the custom recovery. I decided to flash ARHD, since that's my personal favorite that I've used on my M7 and M8. After flashing and clearing cache, the phone optimizes apps, reboots, and then stays at the HTC screen for a bit. Finally, the screen will turn off as if it's booted in. I could then wake the device and adjust volume and such, but I still had the HTC logo covering what would be the UI. After a bit more time, the setup menu finally came up. I couldn't set up wifi, as it got stuck on the "connecting" screen. Wiped, re-flashed ARHD. Same thing. Finally got through the setup, and I had no service. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install a corresponding firmware or something? This happens to me every time. Also the M9 had Android 6.0 with Sense 7.0, for the record.

Have you made sure that the rom is compatible with your phones firmware?.

The thread says it's built off of 3.35.401.12, and my phone is running 3.38.502.12. The thread goes on to say "- If your current firmware version doesn't match ROM firmware version, wiping data inside AROMA is highly recommended!" so I figured if I wiped the data inside AROMA it would still work. Am I just dumb?

"For Sense-based roms you just need to re-flash the stock boot image of your current firmware version." I'm now at a loss. I am in way over my head right now. So technically speaking, I'd be able to get ARHD to run on my ATT M9? That quoted sentence gave me an anxiety attack.
Edit: I've got an RUU that I was thinking of using and then just rooting the stock ROM and then going about my day. I'd be ok with that if I knew for a fact that it wouldn't remove TWRP. That and I was looking forward to the ARHD battery life.

Keep calm. All you need to do is downloading the RUU for your current firmware and the decryption tool that is linked in my thread. Drag'n'drop the RUU onto the *.exe file of the tool and wait some minutes. When it's finished it will give you an output folder. Inside you'll find a firmware folder and inside that one you'll find the needed boot image. All you need to do then is booting your phone to download mode and connecting it via USB with your pc. Copy the boot.img into your adb/fastboot folder and use
Code:
fastboot flash boot <enter name of the boot image - including its file extension - here and delete the less/greater symbols>
E.g. if the file is named boot_signed.img the command would be
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
The next time you boot your rom everything should be working, fine.
Edit: Your edit didn't exist when I wrote this post... The RUU will remove TWRP if you flash it. RUUs always reflash the whole phone (in other words: the system and the firmware).

It appears that I may have given some misinformation. Looking in the ROM that I had flashed (Official Build ATT 3.38.502.12 ROM 7-12-2016), the firmware appears as (obviously) 3.38.502.12. However, looking in download mode, OS appears to actually be 3.38.502.41. Are the instructions you gave me still pertinent, or do I need to try something else?

In that case you will need the boot image of firmware 3.38.502.41. The correct firmware version of your phone is stated in the download mode. You're lucky since HTC released a RUU for that firmware, as well.
There are two main problems with HTCs website:
a) They only provide RUUs for their US customers. So be happy that you bought a US varaint of the M9.
b) They don't update their website that regularly although the files are already available. Since the URL isn't that complicated you can simply guess the correct one for newer RUUs.

Done deal. So after flashing ARHD and then re-flashing the boot image, I can happily go on my way with a nifty AT&T M9 with ARHD?

On their website. Take a look at the URL of the download for the older 3.38.502.12 RUU you can find there, then take a look at your current firmware. If you now look at the link for the latest RUU I posted you'll understand how I guessed the correct link. It's no magic.

Ok, so I flashed the ROM, (ARHD 20.0, 6.0, Sense 7.0) and then flashed the boot. Phone boots up fine, I now have signal and data, but there is one issue. I have no wifi. Is this...radio-related?
Another edit: I also don't see SuperSU anywhere, and that's confusing me just a bit.

No, the radio/baseband doesn't deal with the WIFI reception. There are other parts of the firmware like the wcnss that are responsible for that. You may want to ask in the dedicated rom thread for further help. I haven't heard of such wifi problems before.
In regard to your edit: I never flashed ARHD. I can't even tell you whether it's using SuperSU or any other superuser app.

Alrighty, so it appears support has ended for ARHD. I'll go ahead and ask in the thread anyway, but out of curiosity, I checked out Viper. Looks like that won't work with AT&T. I'll try out ICE maybe. I need more practice.

Well, you could use viper. You just need to choose default in the aroma installer. But I don't know whether your reception is supported out of the box or not. And since viper 5 is based on a HTC 10 port the boot image trick might not work, either. Viper 4 on the other hand should be working fine in case you need to reflash the boot image since it's based on the latest wwe M9 firmware.

Flash it like any other rom. The aroma installer is actually pretty straight forward. Choose default since there is nor AT&T specific installation.
Just make sure that you read what it wants you to do. Sometimes it asks which apps you want to install and sometimes which you want to uninstall.

Update Problems via OTA, RUU, phone.

Hi everyone, first thread in xda!
So, my friend has a m9 that bought on April of 2016 in Germany, worked just fine until these days, it has already marshmallow, he was on exchange but now he's back to Paraguay.
Yesterday we tried to update, because there were updates available (3.35.401.32), so we downloaded from the phone settings.
Downloaded just fine, and when trying to install, just installed until 25% and then the red triangle appeared. I've been looking for some info, and just found that happened to some people too, but no answer or positive help.
Then I downloaded the Nougat OTA to just flash it via recovery (sideload); once in Recovery mode, headed to ADB install, renamed the OTA zip (to be accurate OTA_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.14.617.6_R-3.35.617.31_release_490897lkj8xif5v3eoiykd.zip) just to "ota.zip" cuz i'm so lame to write the whole name.
The flashing went well until @ ±40% and then Error Status 7 appeared, saying "This Package is for 'htc_himaulatt' devices; this is a 'htc_himauhl.'"
I think that the error might be in the regional versions, but I searched for HIMAUHL and there is NOTHING, NOWHERE.
Anyways, then I just downloaded the RUU from HTC's page, and still with no positive results, still on marshmallow and no possibilities to upgrade.
Any help?

So what is the device SKU? It sounds like your phone did exactly what it was supposed to do - reject an incompatible RUU.

There is a possibility that the device is rooted, you cannot update unless the phone is stock. You need to put the phone in download mode, connect to a pc via usb cable and in cmd type: fastboot getvar all
Then you tried to flash an att firmware on a wwe international device so it rejected it, which is normal.
I can safely tell you that you'll be lucky to recover the phone from its current state. You must now do a lot of reading. Starting with flippys thread in the general section of the m9 forum.
Lucky for you I have the same device with a stock backup (except the stock recovery) at the same firmware you had before you started should you need it, I think you will. It is linked in flippy's thread.

HELP! HTC M9 ROM update help

Ok so in the last thread I started I learned how flashing ROMS works, with the matching firmware, CID's, and other stuff, but now I have another issue... The ROM that I was able to flash was the TeamVenom Viper One ROM for Android L (Lolipop)....The ROM version I used was Viper 3.5.0, but now I would like to upgrade to Viper 6.1.0, but it requires Android M (HTC Firmware 3.x).... I do not have a stock ROM to go back to update, and the HTCDev RUU.exe to update gives error code 132 (similar to error code 12, Thanks for the ReadMe page btw @Flippy498), which is a signature error (which is odd because it is straight from HTCDev) and I cannot find a zip file of 3.xx.502.xx to flash that isn't A) corrupted upon download, or B) has a working link... I don't think I can update Viper because it says "Flashing the new Android M firmware is a must, else your phone won’t boot!!" (trust me it doesn't boot, I've tried)... But I read somewhere that having a Team Venom account will allow you to receive OTA updates, yet when I check for OTA updates through the Venom app in the app drawer it doesn't find any available updates, which I know is incorrect because as I said I'm still on Android L (5.1)... What would I need to do from here, how would I A)fix HTC installer, or B) does anybody have a WORKING flashable stock android zip to update from Lollipop to Marshmallow...
Thanks in advanced!

It's actually recommended to use firmware 4.x for Viper 6.1.0 (although the rom boots on 3.x, as well).

I do not have a stock ROM to go back to update, and the HTCDev RUU.exe to update gives error code 132 (similar to error code 12, Thanks for the ReadMe page btw @Flippy498), which is a signature error (which is odd because it is straight from HTCDev)

It's not odd at all. Re-read the explanation of the error or the RUU section. Both explain why the flash fails.

I cannot find a zip file of 3.xx.502.xx to flash that isn't A) corrupted upon download, or B) has a working link

I checked the link in the ReadMe thread. It'sworking fine. If the file gets corrupted during the download then it's due to your setup (e.g. an interruption of your internet connection during the download, etc.).

But I read somewhere that having a Team Venom account will allow you to receive OTA updates, yet when I check for OTA updates through the Venom app in the app drawer it doesn't find any available updates, which I know is incorrect because as I said I'm still on Android L (5.1)
Click to expand...

There is no OTA for updating Venom 3.5.0. Custom roms can't update your firmware. Therefore, you need to update it on your own and to flash a full rom whenever the rom's base get's changed. The OTAs only update the rom (e.g. from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0). That's why there isn't an OTA for 6.0.0 -> 6.1.0, either. 6.1.0 is based on a different firmware than 6.0.0. You might want to read the article that is labeled as "The difference between rom and firmware" in the further reading section of the ReadMe thread.

Hey thanks Flippy you are the clutch, but I can verify that the files ARE corrupt.... I have downloaded it twice, and I have google fiber so I can guarantee that the connection was consistent. Winrar said the file was corrupted, along with when trying to flash TWRP would flash.... Any other ideas, you are the master at this Flippy, there must be another way...

You should re-read the ReadMe thread. They're not corrupt. I thought that with "corrupt" you meant the MD5 checksum wouldn't match after the download. That WinRar error message is expected behaviour.

Ah gotcha... So I used the decryption tool to make a SD flashable zip, and what do you know, TWRP crashes when I swipe to flash... How come I can flash other ROMs but I can't flash stock roms without it crashing (Device turns off)

Please don't tinker around without knowing what you're doing and (as said before) read what got written in the FAQ and the RUU section. Extracting the *.zip wasn't needed at all since there already is a download link for an extracted *.zip. In addition, there are step by step instructions how RUUs can/need to get flashed.

Ok thank you "again" I have officially read your ENTIRE guide 3 times now, Not trying to offend you or make shame of your work, but the problem is I "THINK" that I am following your work.... I download the RUU for my phone (in this case SKU: 502 - CID: CWS__001 VERSION 2.11.502 (I have also tried 3.38.502.41 to no avail)) and everything is going as planned, I have verified that BOTH the CID and MID are matching that of my phone.... But when I plug SD card into Phone in download mode I get no such asked if I want to flash the file (as your guide says to do).... Ok so if I try to flash through TWRP it crashes, and if I try to Fastboot Flash the file I get what is seen in the picture attachment, and then nothing happens, except the bootloader page says "Under flash" and adds another line saying Under flash everytime I press the power button... My phone is S-OFF, is there another possible way to do this.... I swear to go I have read your ReadMe thread and I'm not just being arrogant, but my phone WILL not flash to ANY STOCK ROM downloaded anywhere from the Internet... @Flippy498 I promise there has to be something I missed in your ReadMe (I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I COULD) or i'm getting damaged ROMs... I'm sorry that you have to put up with me and help me thus far, and let me say the XDA community deserves people like you, and less people like me who think they know what they are doing until something breaks...
EDIT: It seems the phone is missing a located at /dev/fastboot_download_j in the CMD screenshot. Should that be said issue how would I go about fixing that...

Your SD card isn't bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32? The file is placed in the root directory of the card and renamed to 0PJAIMG.zip (not 0PJAIMG.zip.zip and not OPJAIMG.zip)? The SD card method as it is written there already got used by a lot of users without any issues. The problem in this case must be on your end. What kind of error is stated at the bottom of your download mode? The M9 always tells you what's wrong. Either the SD card isn't mounted correctly (in other words you're using an unsupported format) or the 0PJAIMG.zip file is missing (in other words either non-existent on your sd card, placed in the wrong direction or renamed wrongly).
And of course TWRP crashes. Not every *.zip file can get flashed via TWRP just because it's a *.zip. (Just like not every *.zip can/should get unzipped just because it's a *.zip.) The only methods that can be used for flashing a RUU are mentioned in the ReadMe thread. And that's what I meant with "don't tinker around". You're doing things with files they're not meant to be done with.
The fastboot flash on the other hand can't work with the commands shown in your screenshot. That's a mistake in my guide. :silly: And it's even explained in the text above the instructions. I'm wondering why nobody (including me) noticed that before. I can only assume that it's because fastboot flashing doesn't get used that often for RUUS. The commands need to start with "htc_fastboot" not "fastboot". The normal fastboot isn't able to flash RUUs. I've fixed that part. Thanks for making me aware of that.
And in regard to the "damaged roms": The ReadMe thread explains how to check whether your downloads are fine (key word: md5).

Once again Thank you for helping me out, the htc_flashboot command was what I needed, I was able to flash the stock rom through the command.... May I just say, you sir know what you are doing, and I wish you continue to help other people on this forms just like you've helped me.... I Installed the 2.x rom, but the OTA update didn't work for some reason... so I'm gonna flash the 4.x and then install ViperOne again...
And when I was saying "Damaged Roms" I was not implying that it was corrupted over the internet, but rather that they were never working in the first place...
Oh, that microSD card I had is in the trash now, since the only device that recognizes it is my pc, I assume it is on the brink of death...
Thanks again,

That's probably like that due to AT&T denying OTAs to phones that currently aren't using an AT&T sim card. You wouldn't be the first user that isn't able to receive AT&T updates for the M9. Don't ask me why they're allowed to do so. Something like that wouldn't be possible in the EU.

Don't forget that you need to flash one of Sneakyghost's firmware packs if you want to be able to flash 4.x RUUs. (Keyword: encryption keys)

That's actually the difference between my ReadMe thread and most of the RUU collections on other websites. The files only get linked if they're known to be working whereas other sites link every RUU they can find. There are a lot more RUUs for the M9 out there than the ones I listed. However, these RUUs either aren't able to get flashed successfully or their roms aren't able to receive any OTAs - e.g. there's a second RUU for firmware 1.32.401.15 than the one that is linked in my thread and if you flash that other RUU you're stuck on its firmware version until you flash a different RUU.

If it's really broken you should thank whichever god you believe in that your phone wasn't able to recognize the card. Since your phone is S-OFF all security checks on your phone are disabled. That means if a file gets corrputed on the SD card due to its partition being messed up your phone would still accept the broken RUU, nonetheless. This would most likely lead to unrecoverable damages. In other words, chances are high in such situations that you create a fancy but expensive paperweigth.

Funny, I thought the same thing, until I realized it was ATT who I am paying every month to rip my girlfriend and I off. Well oh well, I know you are in Germany (From your profile) but if you ever come to the United States, I will say from my personal experience (my opinion, not facts) ATT has seemed to have the broadest coverage, but also is the (2nd) most constrictive (Verizon seems very constraining), to me ATT feels premium but they are also (in my opinion) the most likely to royally screw up... Oh well, no OTA time to flash!!!

Trust me, when I tried the SD card in the phone I thought, "That is a little odd", then both of my ASUS MemoPads didn't detect it either EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE RUNNING, I just assumed that they didn't work because MemoPads are the most budget friendly tablets ever and something broke, so I go to my Nexus 7 and realize it doesn't have an SD card slot so I couldn't test, so I popped the card in our Camera... Low and behold it doesnt detect.... Now the true question, why did my desktop detect it, eh whatever not worth my time.... The gods were looking down on me, they broke my $10 microSD and not my more than 10$ phone.....
Once again thank you for the help Flippy, you have no idea how much it hurt using my iPhone 5 for 2 days, I felt so inferior

updating t-mo ruu manually.

So i was trying to install the latest nougat roms and realized i need to be on 4.xx for them.
I am on 3.xx
So i tried to update via the latest ruu from htc.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Did not work.
Then i realized that the rom was for a developers edition phone which mine is not.
So i downloaded the latest 3.xx rom. for the non developer phone.
After i downloaded it, I realized it was the same 4.xx ruu that i downloaded before. So i thought my mistake.
Go back and download AGAIN and yup, the link they provide in the "details and instuctions" section for the 3.xx rom is definitely for the 4.xx ruu.
When i click the download link without going into details. the link does not work.
Weird thing. on this page http://www.htc.com/us/support/updates.aspx
They do not specify developer edition.
So now the question is. IS 4.xx the latest update for all t-mo m9 phones and i am just having a problem installing.
Or do i need to find the 3.xx rom from a different source.

So i checked on a friends stock m9 and indeed it has the 4.47 update.
So i guess i am just doing something wrong. I am rooted but i never chose the option in twrp to modify files.
I can connect to the ruu in download mode. I tells me the correct rom that i have on the phone and offers to update. Once i choose update it seems to work fine. Reboots my phone then gives me error 123.
I cant seem to find a zip for it. Or a copy of the older ruu.
If anybody can point me in the direction of a database somewhere that would be super helpful. I know the mods used to keep them stickied at the top.
I do have a ruu and zip on my computer from a couple years ago that i will try too.

Tried to flash the last ruu i flashed before. got error 155 and now am stuck in flashing mode. With a half flashed phone. no way to reset it. 10 second power button does not work. cant pull the battery as the ruu advises me to do.
Guess im waiting for the phone to die from 100%
I think the problem is simple and something i totally forgot in the last couple years.
I NEED TO RE LOCK MY BOOTLOADER. but who knows. apparently its just me on here.
SO LONG FOR GOOD ADVICE FROM XDA.
BOOOO.

You actually don't need firmware 4.x. Firmware 3.x is compatible with the latest custom roms, as well. They only run "better" on firmware 4.x.

HTC is a bit lazy in regard to updating their webpage. You're always only able to download the latest RUU. However, you don't mention which variant you own. There is more than just one non-dev edition variant. Nevermind, you mentioned it in one if your following posts.

The "database" is still stickied (in not only one but two subforums of the M9 section - the general and the q&a section). Therefore, I'm a bit surprised that you weren't able to find what you're looking for. In addition the thread I'm talking about is not only a database, it even contains all information you would have needed for solving your issues, already.

Error 155 means that you either try to flash a RUU that is too old or made for a different variant than the one you own. The key combination you're looking for is the power button plus volume down up and you need to keep them pressed for about 30 seconds. HTC changed that on one of the devices that came out before the M9. Letting the battery die is a bad idea, though. You'll damage it this way.

No you don't. I can't discourage people enough from relocking this phone's bootloader if the phone is S-ON and not 100% stock and you don't have a RUU at hand that you already used successfully on your phone. HTC's security checks will prevent the device from booting if anything is modified (e.g. TWP being installed) while the bootloader is locked or relocked. They don't differentiate between "broken" and "custom" files and think that the modified software is broken. Therefore, the checks are trying to prevent the hardware from getting damaged by preventing the device from booting. In addition, if OEM Unlock isn't activated in the developer settings of the currently installed rom then there is no way to re-unlock the phone. That's an FRP (factory reset protection) Google introduced with android 5.1 (which equals firmware 2.x of the M9).

Yah. I get it. Was kind of just shouting to get some attention.
Ive noticed that not just this forum but many other forums that i used to use have lossed a lot of popularity.
I think because facbook groups and things like reddit that cover all subjects.
The problem with those places is that they are so unorganized.
Maybe thats also part of why its become so unorganized here. just what people are used to.
I honestly wasnt expecting actual info. Thank you.

So i was originally trying to flash the latest frimware 4.27.xxx but i kept getting error 132.
And on the htc website it has 2 sections for ruu's m9 ans m9 developer. So i just figured it was the wrong one.
So i figured i would try the last ruu that i flashed before installing the rom that i ran for almost 2 years (lee droid)
when i flashed that, it got halfway through and gave me error 155. but left my phone in the middle of an update. Apparently the power button is disabled during this process.
it tell you to pull the battery or hold the power button for 10 seconds then try to recover from the boot using the ruu.
Well i could not reboot the phone so i just started the recover process. This rebooted my phone a few times then just started flashing the rom. To my surprise it worked.
It also re-locked my phone.
After that, now that im stock, i tried to flash the 4.27 ruu. still 132.
So i tried to run the ota's and they worked.
Took about 4 hours and 7 updates or so. probably 5 gigs on the data plan but finally it finshed with a 1.1 gig update to 4.27.
Im not sure why the first flash failed or why it worked, but eventually it did work.

Ive always relocked my htcs before running an ruu. If not then they never seem to work. I dont mind it because it takes about 10 seconds. and i already hae the token. I actually remembered the majority of the commands.
Maybe its causing another problem that i dont know about.
I did see the oem unlock in developer options if that is what you are talking about.
I was using the last ruu that i had used. but i also flashed a rom and it was a long time in between.
Also i installed the old version of lee droid on 4.27.xxx and it seemed to work fine. I did this on accident though. Flashed the wrong zip. Re-flashed the latest 4.0 and it seems to be working great. Noticing a couple little lags. Might go to the stock rom just rooted and debloated. It seemed to run a little smoother than leedroid for the time i was using it. but i felt like they were trying to extract my stem cells via confusing TOS agreements.

The power button isn't disabled. As said in my last post, you need to press the power button and the volume down button for 30 seconds. It's always been like that on the M9 since HTC already changed that on the M7 or M8 (can't tell you which one exactly it was).
Relocking was only needed on HTC phones that are older than the M9. HTC changed that with the M9. And as said in my last post, re-locking the M9 if you don't have a RUU at hand that you already used successfully is more than dangerous due to Google's FRP. You might end with a non-booting non-unlockable phone.
In addition, a relocked dootloader doesn't change the fact, that your phone is missing the needed encryption keys. That's why the 4.x RUU still failed.
However, it's nice to hear that you could solve your problems now. ?

Ah, I made a mistake while writing my posts. It's power and volume up. Not power and volume down. :silly:
