some m9 settings are missing - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've bought second hand m9 , this last was flashed and rooted because I found supersu integrated with it, the problem is some settings are missing comparing with regular m9 like mobile network sharing for example, is there a way to fix the problem?

First of all, never use a second hand device without reinstalling the whole OS. I factory resetted my M9 right after buying it. (And rooted it, etc...)
Just look at you CID and MID and find the latest RUU for your phone and install it.
Maybe the person that had it before removed the certain settings, because the HTC settings app is quite modular from what i've seen. The settings app is split into many apps. Probably when debloating it he accidentally deleted that. (For example, if you install HTC's chinese performance management tool, a new setting will pop up in the settings app. Same with Sense Toolbox)
Or if is already rooted, just install S-Team ROM (sun_dream's ROM).

where can i find cid mid numbers?
and what is the best rom should i install?

I suggest you first install stock rom.

I have been searching for a while for how to update the rom image
I checked my phone and I found the following information:
***unlocked***
htc_himawhl pvt s-off
cid-11111111
os-3.41.651.4
feb 3 2016
I believe that my phone was for developers, so I downloaded devRUU "HTC One M9 4.30.617.12" from HTC website and I tried to install it but I got error 132 (get the correct RUU...)
I switched to another RUU "HTC One M9 4.27.651.4", but I got the same error error 132
I've tried to get my CID and MID numbers using CMD but I've got nothing, it shows me:
CID:
MID:
nothing, blank, no information. after some research I realized that it was CID free "unlocked"
the main question is, how can I upgrade my system to get my full setting options? I appreciate your help

Forget whatever you read. It's wrong and you should thank whichever god you believe in that the dev edition RUU didn't get flashed.
First of all, you own the Sprint version (SKU 651) which is a CDMA device. The dev edition RUU (SKU 617) is meant to be used on GSM devices only. Those are two completely different technologies used by different US network carriers. Flashing GSM files on CDMA devices or vice versa leads to unrecoverable hardware damages in most cases since those versions have different partition layouts. It's not even safe to flash Verizon (another CDMA carrier) files on a Sprint device or vice versa since even these models use different layouts.
Second, there is no such thing as an HTC phone without CID. The dev/"unlocked" version has CID BS_US002. If the app doesn't give you any info then it's not working. In addition, it's recommended to use the current firmware version for finding the correct RUU instead of MID and CID. With the latter you still need to guess a lot whereas the former gives you the exact version of the RUU that is flashable.
Btw, you should get rid of the SuperCID your phone is currently using (11111111) since it causes more problems than benefit.
You'll never be able to flash a 4.x RUU on a phone that uses firmware 3.x. The encryption keys changed between those two firmware versions. You'll need to update the phone by using unencrypted files (OTAs or - if you have S-OFF - custom made 4.x firmware packs). You should have S-OFF since getting the SCID is impossible without it (the same applies to getting rid of it). However, Sneakyghost doesn't support CDMA devices so I don't know whether there are any custom firmware packs you could use.
If I were you I'd take the time to carefully read the ReadMe thread and to make sure that I understand everthing. Then I'd use the conversion guide for getting rid of the SCID (you can ignore the warnings if you use a RUU for your current SKU 651). Afterwards, that phone should be able to receive 4.x OTAs so that it can get updated to the latest firmware.
Sidenote in regard to the original question with the missing settings: I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken then it's completely normal that Sprint models lack the network sharing option since that carrier doesn't allow it and therefore asked HTC to remove that option.

what a wonderful explanation, it's all clear, thanks a lot!
one more question,
how do i know for sure that my M9 is CDMA and has not been only changed to sprint rom version ?
I've googled for the differences between CDMA and GSM, I found that CDMA network basically depends on the device itself, whereas the GSM network depends on the SIM card. However the Sprint HTC One M9 had a nano sim slot in it in order to connect to GSM 3G and 4G bands, which were not devloped yet in CDMA networks. if this is right, could I still use my GSM network through 3g or 4g?

Since LTE is a GSM-only technology there are not many "pure" CDMA devices, anymore. Nowadays, all CDMA phones support Sim cards and some GSM frequencies. However, that doesn't mean that you can get reception with every GSM carrier if you own a CDMA phone since different carriers use different frequencies. In addition, one and the same carrier might even be using different frequencies for its network depending on the location. You'll have to try out whether you can get mobile reception with your current carrier and that phone.
Assuming that no one tinkered with the hardware of that phone, you can find out its original MID by taking a look at the engraving on the bottom of the back side (c.f. the FAQ of the ReadMe thread).

actually the phone can read my gsm sim card, I have no problem with that except I want to make sure if it is CDMA version or not
I've looked everywhere in the internet but I didn't find a direct answers

Mhm... That MID belongs to the T-Mobile US (GSM) model. But your firmware is a CDMA one. The question is whether your phone still has its original backplate or not. Normally, cross-flashing GSM and CDMA will make the phone failing to recognize sim cards.
You could contact HTC and ask them whether they can tell you what kind of M9 you own with the help of its IMEI.

yes it does recognize my sim card
thank you very much for your help:good:
I'll try to contact htc to solve this contradiction

I'm facing same problem....
Dear Leo-pard,
could you please help me out....is your problem solved after chatting with HTC Customer care..
I'm facing same problem as my HTC M9 is also not showing Mobile Network Sharing Option....
Please help me out also....
I'll be waiting for your reply...

A lot of carriers charge extra for hotspotting. More than likely mobile network sharing will be off because the carrier wants you to pay for it. What I don't know is if it is coded into the firmware or not.

Hey @Flippy498
I have a sitting HTC m9 and like you said have missing mobile network sharing settings. My phone is s off with locked bootloader.
What can I do to use USB tethering it mobile hotspot? Can I use a third party app to use them?
Thanks

Help to get out of boot loop bricked LTE HTC One

Ok, found this to be a recurring question here at the forum and read through as many posts as I could. Unfortunately none seem to be quite what I need...
Bought a rooted Verizon 4G HTC One and it was working kind of fine with the rom it came though I wanted to try the Google Play one.
Well it didn't work - and - I accidentally wiped the original rom installer (was a NuSense). Now it bootloops with every other rom I've tried. Last one being NOS 1.0.2 m7wlv Google Play Edition - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416875 )
My device information (from the bootloader screen):
Code:
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RAID-4T.21.3218.21

OS-1.10.605.10
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Sep 9 2013,11:53:38.0
And the recovery is
Code:
Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.2
Please someone put me out of this misery
thanks!
I've been doing some tinkering and I'm about to try some other roms - not really specific ones to m7wlv though.
Found some posts of people blaming on TWRP version used causing similar problem.
Was worried though: by Team Win's page I couldn't find a m7wlv specific recovery (for 2.7 or any other). They do have a simple "M7" version... is it safe to install that one?
I'm worried that if I break the recovery mode, I won't be able to upload files not even with ADB, thus meeting the fine brick stage for the device.
thoughts?

Thanks a lot cmlusco! I managed to get some of the ROMs working now. Still, my phone isn't connecting to the GSM network - over configurations I see CDMA items, so I think I either updated the wrong firmware or still have to update.
I've tried the same rom you show in your signature (since you seem to have the same phone - which by the way, is it GSM or CDMA?), but it reboots during these "welcome" screen after the SO loads up.
Could you hint me which firmware are you using?
thanks!
f.
What country are you in, and who is your wireless provider?
The Verizon One (like most smartphones Verizon releases these days) is a GSM + CDMA hybrid that supports GSM out of the box unlocked for global roaming. It's still meant to be used on Verizon's CDMA network though - that means support for just a few 2G GSM bands and no 3G HSPA as far as we can tell.
So no, there's only one M7_WLV and that's the CDMA Verizon One. GSM support on this phone is really just an added bonus. If you're not in the US and don't use them, I'd recommend you exchange it with the international model, or at least an AT&T or T-Mobile model so you get proper GSM support.
Thank you all!
Finally managed.
Updated latest firmware version and recovery and all started working again!

Help needed determining RUU for M8

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.

Htc One M8 back to stock UK

not sure what ruu file to get, so here are my settings if someone could post one that will work for me, my phone is from UK but i live in canada and my phone is unlocked
Since the phone is SuperCID, I think you can use most any M8 RUU (exceptions would be CDMA M8, dual SIM, etc.). One possibility is the Euro MM RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Oddly, the phone was apparently made s-on after SupCID (which requires s-off). So lower version number RUUs than the presently installed firmware are not allowed (no "downgrading"). But that is probably not too relevant, as most folks want to either stay on the present version, or flash a newer one.
Also, do yourself a favor and stop using the toolkit. Especially for something as easy as fastboot getvar all. The toolkit is obsolete (almost 2 years old), and the outdated components can cause a lot of issues. I can see from your missing main version, that you probably used the outdated TWRP version included with the toolkit (as newer TWRP builds don't typically have this bug).
Also, you should obscure the IMEI and serial numbers on your screenshot. These are personal data, that should never be posted online.

Switch HTC One M9 with US CDMA to UK GSM

Hi there, I picked up an HTC One M9 for a good price from China and overall I am pretty pleased with it however it seems to be wired for CDMA updates only and so it is stuck on Android 6.0, as attempting to update it says that updates are only available over CDMA networks.
Rebooting to bootloader It tells me
*** Software status: Official ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
*** S-OFF ***
I have tried using a wide selection of RUU files to update the phone and pretty much every one of them gives me an error. For example RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.30.617.12 takes me through the install process, reboots the phone to the bootloader and after several warning screens tells me that it will update from 3.37.605.19 to 4.30.617.12 The phone shows it is uploading, but then quickly ends up frozen whilst the PC dialog shows:
ERROR [132]: SIGNARURE ERROR
Exiting reboots the phone back to the starting condition.
I've tried all of the RUU files that I could find (with a higher version) and had the same error. Not sure where to go next, any help very gratefully received!
Cheers,
..alex
Please take a look at the ReadMe thread. It will tell you why you can't use 4.x RUUs on a phone with a 3.x firmware and why you should never try to flash a GSM RUU on a CDMA device.

Thanks for your response and the redirect to the readme I can see that the RUU update path is not going to work. Is there any way to switch this phone to GSM or is it permanently stuck add a CDMA device?
Cheers

It's permanently stuck on the CDMA firmware. Those are two completely different technologies.
However, the CDMA M9 supports some GSM frequencies so it shouldn't be completely useless for you. You probably just won't get LTE with it.
In regard to android updates: I don't know whether there already is an android 7 update for the verizon variant (verizon is super slow). If there is you might be able to update the phone with an unofficial firmware pack (like the ones that Sneakyghost provides) since you already have S-OFF. Although Sneakyghost himself doesn't provide ones for verizon phones you might find some in the verizon M9 forum. Afterwards you would only need to re-flash the corresponding 4.x RUU (assuming that you want to stay on the stock rom - otherwise you could directly flash whichever custom rom you want to use).
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs
If I were to pursue this strategy would the end product be a phone that had flipped to GSM and could connect to 4G? It feels like the difference is not a hardware one - that is the phones must have the hardware to go either way right? Or do they have a different comms chipset?
Cheers,

You cannot flash a GSM firmware on a CDMA device (or vice versa) without damaging it unrecoverably. The partition layout isn't the same. All you can do is upgrading or downgrading your firmware but switching your SKU (even if it's another CDMA one*) will result in damages. The difference between GSM and CDMA phones lies within their hardware and their software. Although newer CDMA phones support some GSM frequencies and are therefore able to connect to some GSM networks they still aren't able to get G/2G/3G/H+/LTE on every carrier's network.
* Not even the different CDMA variants of the M9 share the same partition layout.

RUU issue

I currently have a customer who has HTC One M9 at my house and it is the AT&T variant. They have it carrier unlocked so that it works on the T-Mobile service provider. Problem is they keep dropping GPS signal so I tried to check what their software version is. It looks like they have software version 5.0. I tried to use the are ruu to update it, but every time it gets into download mode to start loading the file or bootloader mode rather it just tells me that the phone is not the right software. I'm using the AT&T ruu. Is there any reason why this is not working? I also tried the carrier unlocked version but the phone is clearly of AT&T pedigree
Cid and mid needs to be known
Currently running super Sid but previously was AT&T Sid. I can change the SIDS anything I want with Chimera tools. I don't know what the mid is though I'm not even sure what a mid is
Changing the CID without changing the firmware has the same effect as drinking snake oil. In addition the SuperCID prevents the M9 from accepting OTAs. You should take a look at the ReadMe thread. All information you might need are either there or linked in the further reading section of that thread.
I personally don't think that people should use such tools as the one that you mentioned. You don't know what kind of commands the tool is actually using so that you don't have any control about what's happening to the phone. (Not to mention that you don't learn how to fix a problem if the tool fails due to whatever reason.) Most of the features that tool is offering for HTC devices are available for free and don't take longer than a handful of minute if done manually.

Need this to run on tmobile network. It is an AT&Tb phone
No, changing the CID is not enough since the MID of the T-Mobile US variant isn't the same as the one for the AT&T version. As said before, please read the ReadMe thread. The RUUs are sorted by MID and CID, there, and the conversion guide tells you what to do for converting one version of the M9 to another. Be aware that the US T-Mobile variant RUUs are not the ones at the top of the download section. Those are the ones for T-Mobile Germany and T-Mobile Poland.
I converted it to an AT&T unlocked
