Sound quality - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to restore the boomsound sound quality after flashing a custom rom?
I'm experiencing crackling.

A Sense ROM presumably (otherwise you wouldn't have Boomsound, and won't)? What ROM?
Firmware might need do be updated. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Your firmware is up to date, based on the details (main version, and also radio baseband) above.
AICP is a AOSP ROM. It doesn't have the Sense framework, and therefore doesn't have Boomsound, and you can't get it.
But crackling is also not normal. I don't use AOSP ROMs on this device, so can't give much advice on the crackling problem. You should check the thread for that particular ROM, to see if anyone else reported audio issues.
If you want better audio (Boomsound type experience), you might look at Viper4Android, ARISE, etc. I personally use V4ARISE, and like it better than Boomsound, as ARISE has a lot of options and customization, which allow me to tailor the sound to my liking.
But I don't think audio mods will address the crackling issue. That sounds more ROM related, and should be addressed first.

Thanks a lot. I think so too. That crackling is not hardware based. Since i was using the official sense rom before this and there was no such issue.
I shall try flashing a sense rom again and see if the issue still persists. Thanks for helping.

What's new?
Ehh, It´s the same build as before. HTC Hero_2.73.405.5 for what I understand the last nr .38 is just the mobile providers rom build version.
this seems to be an update for a limited number of carriers:
android-info.txt for this one:
ModelID: HERO10000
CIDNUM: HTC__001
CIDNUM: HTC__N34
CIDNUM: 11111111
MainVer: 2.73.405.38
the "official" htc update has this:
ModelID: HERO10000
CIDNUM: HTC__001
CIDNUM: HTC__032
CIDNUM: HTC__203
CIDNUM: HTC__102
CIDNUM: HTC__405
CIDNUM: HTC__E11
CIDNUM: HTC__Y13
CIDNUM: HTC__304
CIDNUM: HTC__506
CIDNUM: HTC__N34
CIDNUM: 11111111
MainVer: 2.73.405.5
So, from which provider did you get this ?
Has anyone tested RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38?
I can´t find any info at all about the realease.
Maybe this is Sprints' Update? Has anyone tried it?
Well someone in Androidcommunity posted the following :
Sprint Hero Firmware Update
I cannot give out versions or anything, but I can say the Sprint Hero had an update pushed out to it yesterday, the training handsets that is.
Lag is almost gone. Out of the box the Hero had almost no lag, but after installing a few apps is started lagging. This new update makes it zippy. I'm not sure if the phones will come preloaded or will require an update when purchased,, but its great.
So any of those reviews that complained about the lag can eat it. Some people will find any reason at all to complain anyway.

I find this version really fast
indeed it is quick, but i notice that it seems to have removed the option for 'current location' in weather and clock. or at least it seemed to do so on mine.
Have gone back to 405.5 for that reason. little thing i know, but i don;t really want the weather in london when the other ROM does it for me automatically and updates as i travel.

Is it possible to install this but then replace the new contacts widget with the older one? I kinda like the older one Please guide!!
One more thing... will installing it change the kernel in such a way that flashrec will no longer be supported?? There are some people on the forum with Asian builds who are already complainig about the flashrec not working at all on their phones. I can see that the kernel# after installing this 405.38 ROM is somewhat different from my current one i.e. 405.5

flashrec doesnt work with this one, so if you can't use an official RUU from before the kernel patch to downgrade to, don't use this

Thanks for your reply Jesterz
I do have the UNLOCKED white UK hero and can install the WWE version ROMs via RUU like the latest official release 2.73.405.5. Does that mean it will be safe for me to try this ROM (405.38) and still be able to go back to 405.5 if desired, and regain the flashrec support.
BTW, if I flash this new ROM using update.zip method, will that also make flashrec and my RA-Hero recovery image non-functional? Please help on this.
Cheers!

Havn't tested the 405.38 SPL myself. I don't see any reason to do so.... And yes it may block your device from rooting.
I would suggest you to use update.zip as it does exactly what you want the RUU to do: replace kernel and system.
You may then flash the 405.5 RUU when you wish.

OK, thanks gecka
I suppose I am pretty safe since the 2.73.405.5 RUU works just fine for me... kind of a good fall-back if I am stuck with the newer kernel. Will give 405.38 a go soon.
You said it is really quick... what exactly are the major improvements? And how about the new radio? Any appreciable difference from the previous one?

I personally find it more responsive, about perfect.
Kernel is exactly the same (md5sum). Just do a nandroid backup and try it. A nandroid restore will restore it at its exact state.
About the radio, I have never been able to tell if one is better than another.

must just have been a screw up on mine then. Maybe i'll try it again later.
I can also confirm that the Current Location feature is still working fine ;-)
Definately more responsive than the 405.5 ROM, it's a pleasure to use!

S-Off might be difficult - but maybe we can work around

Hi,
nobody knows me, thats just fine . What I m currently doing is I m trying to find out if there´s a suitable software-way to work around that messy S-Off problem.
Whats the idea?:
The idea is quite simple, the current hboot 1.31 already supports all branded devices.
Seriously?
Yea, seriously.
If you unpack the current hboot and open it using a text-editor like Windows editor you´ll find the following lines

You see - all there.
So, Vodafone and all the others can stopp telling is their branded devices are not yet supported - bull****.
So, I´m trying to find a way to edit files in a way that the installer believes the currently plugged device is supported - even in case its got a totally different CID.
Dunno if this will work in any possible way...but hey, at least a try.
Regards
*Edit: If anyone found an HOX RUU from Asia for JB - that would be quite helpful.
Of course it supports every single HTC One X, regardless of CID, but:
If you change any file the signature will be broken, will not work. If you look at the header of the zip file in a hex editor, there is a 256-byte long signature that no one knows how to decrypt.
(I'm talking about the firmware.zip)

Well...yea...so I tried to change some files in the temp folder of windows during the installation - and that worked. Dunno what I can make of that but I ll keep u updated. So much for now:
Current version: 2.xxx
Version to install: strange asian signes
Ok.
Finished - device not bricked.
I keep working
*Update: Hmpf...not working the way I hoped it would. I can install using the stock ruu with hboot 1.31....but its still not starting :/
I don't mean to be a downer, and good on you for giving it a go. But this has already been tried long ago.
Any modification you make will break the signature. The only way to get around it is to decrypt the signature so we can sign whatever zip files we want. Then we could flash an S-OFF HBOOT.

Why is everyone so quick to shut down new attempts to achieve S-Off? The Church of Xmoo will only get you so far, especially when Xmoo doesn't even have a HOX any more.

Exactly 1 person attempting something is better than everyone just keeping quiet and whining about no S-Off.
New attempts with old techniques is not new attempts, it's confirming what we already know.
I'm not sure anybody would complain about new threads with new information or actual progress.
Exactly.
All I'm saying is that this idea has already been tried and verified as not working, and pointing this out so no-one wastes time trying something old when they could be trying something new.
Well he is trying .. Let him do it. No one can directly go to advance mathematics until he learns the basics.
Forget the zip file...
The 'new' bootloader is signed, and the 'existing bootloader' will verify the signature on the phone itself, before reflashing itself.
Sadly, and 'hack' on the PC side is wasted... a fully intact 'signed' package has to be sent to the phone/device.
The zip is irrelevant, it's opened by the RUU and the contents sent to the device in individual signed packages.
The procedure goes like this:
RUU / PC unpacks the zip.
The components of the zip are sent one by one to the phone ... i.e. Bootloader, Recovery, ROM etc.
Some of those components, particularly bootloader are signed, and the signature is checked on the phone.
You can change the files as much as you like on the PC... modifying the ROM image should still work (but of course, you'll create a corrupt ROM).
If you try to change the bootloader package (which is signed) then it will be rejected by the phone. A single byte change will result in an entirely new checksum / signature.
To generate the correct signature you need two things....
1) The algorithm for generating a new signature for the modified file
2) The 'key' which is used to encrypt the data (top secret!)
Statistically, it would take many years to 'brute force' guess the key, and you'd probably ruin your handset flashing it so many times too.
They key isn't likely to be leaked.
So, there's another way:
HTC allow some service centers to reflash the devices, but this requires special hardware and software that's not easy to replicate and hasn't been leaked yet. The presence of this hardware will 'permit' full reflashing of the device, and therefore S-OFF.

I wish I knew how to link a post from another discussion area. There is a Russian dev in HTC DNA General who's posted subject S-Off Is Possible While its specific to the Snapdragon CPU and consensus is his claim is legit and to be made available soon, on pg 5, the dev mentions he's getting a HOX to try and get S-Off. Important point here is another dev taking an interest in a HOX. So someone here can kindly point out to him the challenges already attempted.

Please... I need a OTA file for HTC One M9s / M9e - HIMAR UHL.

Does Anyone know where I can find an OTA file HTC M9e / M9s also called HIMAR UHL ??
IT's the Asian version from Taiwan.
Follows some device information:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himaruhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) version-main: 1.10.709.2
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.01.0000
(bootloader) mid: 2PRG10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__621
Please, I really need this.
thank you in advance.
There is a thread in the General section of the M9 forums titled HTC ONE M9 Stock File Collection (RUUs, Backups, etc.) - with linked Instructions. It has a collection of resources, particularly in post #6 of the thread.
My favorite resource in that thread is Flippy498's Google Sheet, which has a tab dedicated to RUUs & a tab dedicated to OTAs. In both, there is a section dedicated to HTC Asia (Taiwan). Check it out, see if it it has what you're looking for.

thanks for replying, but unfortunately it does not have the OTA file I need, have only HTC ONE M9 files (Hima) not HTC ONE M9e / M9s (HimaR).
the HTC M9e uses a MediaTek processor and HTC M9 it's a Qualcomm version.
I've looked in many places already, I did not find the right OTA file anywhere... for the M9e / HTC ONE M9s version.
with the OS version 1.10.709.2.
but thanks again, I hope that someone has better luck than me to find.

Well, here is what my Google-fu has come up with. No guarantees, but maybe this will help.
I found this site that directly mentions CID HTC__621. Doing a Google search for "2PRGIMG_HIMAR_UHL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_TW_1.10.709.2_Radio_1.1506V24P59.2508.1112_HT[W.T]_release_464157_signed_2_4.zip" didn't turn anything up, but doing a Google search for a shortened version of the file name turned up some downloads.
Here's the problem - this isn't an RUU and I have no way to help you verify if it's the right file or even what you needs. I found an RUU file, but it looks to be for the wrong CID, even the MID is correct. (notice that there is a password to extract the RUU from the zip - it's given in the thread linked)
It may be helpful to examine the files & filenames and use them to search XDA and Google to find the appropriate files. At the least, it's a starting point.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------
So, it looks like there are some RUU files that match that filename, but you can't access the files without a membership - a paid membership. The lowest membership cost is $15 for 30 days, but I have no experience with this website and can't speak to its legitimacy.
---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
Sorry for the triple post here. But this may be (maybe) a compatible RUU for your phone - and no access fee. However, it looks like it is a lower bootloader version (1.03.709.13) - I don't know if you can use it. My understanding is that trying to install an RUU that is a lower version than your current version is a no-go.
I would question why you want the ota.. If you want to upgrade to marshmallow just root, s-off & flash an unsigned zip. Job done.
If it's to unbrick you can try a phone repair store or if your carrier has local stores you can try one. Sometimes they have a db of roms.

Well, here is what my Google-fu has come up with. No guarantees, but maybe this will help.
I found this site that directly mentions CID HTC__621. Doing a Google search for "2PRGIMG_HIMAR_UHL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_TW_1.10.709.2_Radio_1.1506V24P59.2508.1112_HT[W.T]_release_464157_signed_2_4.zip" didn't turn anything up, but doing a Google search for a shortened version of the file name turned up some downloads.
Here's the problem - this isn't an RUU and I have no way to help you verify if it's the right file or even what you needs. I found an RUU file, but it looks to be for the wrong CID, even the MID is correct. (notice that there is a password to extract the RUU from the zip - it's given in the thread linked)
It may be helpful to examine the files & filenames and use them to search XDA and Google to find the appropriate files. At the least, it's a starting point.

So, it looks like there are some RUU files that match that filename, but you can't access the files without a membership - a paid membership. The lowest membership cost is $15 for 30 days, but I have no experience with this website and can't speak to its legitimacy.

Sorry for the triple post here. But this may be (maybe) a compatible RUU for your phone - and no access fee. However, it looks like it is a lower bootloader version (1.03.709.13) - I don't know if you can use it. My understanding is that trying to install an RUU that is a lower version than your current version is a no-go.

Thank you for the information, I will try to use these files.
I have a question, I do not have much knowledge about it, but those files marked as signed, they are able to receive OTA updates?
very grateful for your help.

I need the OTA file, because this device belongs to a person who does not really understand how these things work and he eventually found some things on the internet and tried to put the device even without knowing very well what he was doing, now he can not get the OTA updates.

Did you find the rom for the M9e (HIMAR)? I tried all links provided in this forum and no way... Thanks! Hi, I am with my phone bricked and cannot boot. I made a mistake while wiping to factory, and wiped all the phone system.

Help with Android version/problem update on "HTC Test" one m8 please

Hi all,
Please forgive any noob errors!
So, i've enjoyed my HTC One m8 for a few years.
I admit i got it eBay (fleaBay!!) from what turns out to be a tester. Hence the "test phone/device" status.
Unbeknown to me, this would appear to have meant that my Android OS has not been updating at all over my ownership.
Not a huge problem until i developed exactly this problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/white-dot-mouse-pointer-m8-t3524318
and set about looking into fixing things,

I dont know if being able to update Android would help with above problem, but im sure it'd be a good start.
Installed was
HTC SSD Test Tool App, Ver 5.2.14.6 - anything i can do with this?!
PVS Info App, Ver 2.3
RxD Test QMI App, Ver 1.12
Any advice as to how i can solve either or both of the issues of the white dot/cursor issue - tried all suggested int he other thread, and Android update unlocking would be gratefully received!
Cheers
Dave

The GPS issue and Google Maps problem seems to be a common issue with our device. I experienced it on lineage os and fixed it by flashing the rom linked below. Also, it appears that your bootloader is locked. That needs to be addressed first.
Link mentioned above - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-leedroid-one-m8-l-v1-0-5-t3019102/page1

Another unlocking thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Also, on googling "HTC test" you may want to investigate that further. There may be an XDA thread related to it as well. It is definitely nothing I am familiar with.

Thanks for the reply AR.
Its looking increasingly like the only way to get anywhere with this might be to unlock. Do you think this would enable updating, or would it then be a question of manually updating?
I'm just a little reluctant becuase i dont want to end up bricking my phone. But i guess it's getting to the point where its becoming increasingly frustrating it might be time to upgrade if nothing else can be done.
As far as the "HTC Test" thing goes there are a few other threads on here and elsewhere, but none with a resolution. Looks like mostly people have been in a position to hand them back and ask for a legit device. Dangers of eBay!
