[Q] Can't Update passed 4.0.4

Okay, so I have a One X, International with quad-core. CID is HTC__001.
I've had a few problems over the passed year with the phone and I had to send it into HTC twice, and on the second occasion, they replaced everything except the plastic frame.
Ever since I've received the phone back it has had 4.0.4, and I haven't been able to update. I manually search for updates but it says it's up to date.
Not exactly sure where to go from here, I've been hesitant to do anything about it because last time I updated to 4.0.4, which is when I had the problem, HTC had to replace the phone.
Anything will be appreciated. Not the most tech savy when it comes to this kind of stuff
Thanks
Johnny

Look for the 3.14.401.31 ruu and run it. It will flash the phone (if successful) to stock jellybean and wipes the phone. So back up stuff you need. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hey sorry, but just want to clarify, how exactly do I go about doing this, do I just plug in my phone and run the .exe. Also do I need to be rooted?
Thanks

Your bootloaded should be locked or relocked and you just start .exe file. You don't have to be rooted.
Since you got phone from HTC, bootloader is locked so you can start .exe file right now.

Hey, so I tried to run the ruu. I went through the process and got a "signature error 132" on the Update Utility. So after some research apparently the ruu that I downloaded was the wrong one, which was "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed"
In the attached image it has all the information.
From what I understand, something about 2.17.1900.1 is important, but I have no further knowledge and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

When you start bootloader are you S-ON or you are S-OFF. And are you Endeavoru XE or PVT

I sssumed because of the cid he was on 401 but has a variant the 1900......not sure that the 401 works indeed

Okay, so after looking around I couldn't find anything with 1900. Would anyone be able to redirect me?
And to answer Thant's question, I am S-ON and Endeavoru PVT.
From what I understand, you need to be rooted to become S-OFF, but this will allow you to run any ruu as it is no longer dependent on the "1900." Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd love to hear the best course of action from you guys.
Thanks

Well i would check with your provider/HTC ! I assume your bootloader is still locked atm, keep it that way and return with the statement that you can't update it while the update should be there. And if there is no available update then they should give a reason why it's not available !
If they can't help you at all you can try to unlock the bootloader and flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot. Don't know if it works but might be worth a try

Look what I found for you CLICK read third post. The guy say he have the same problem end he fixed with instal RUU 2.17.401.2.
Download this RUU from the link and run it fallow the instruction. You must to be with LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader I think you are with LOCKED!!!
EDIT: Please report back to know for future

Hey, just ran the 2.17.401.2 ruu and it worked! I'm going to run the 3.14.401 ruu soon, I'll report back with the results.
Thanks a bunch guys
EDIT: Hey so I tried to run the 3.14.401.31 and it didn't work, another signature error. So what I did was scanned for software update and I found an update for ICS, so I updated 4.0.4 further, restarted the device, scanned again for software and there it was 3.14.401.27, downloading as we speak
Thanks guys for the help

Awesome ! And thanks @Thant for this nice find :thumbup:
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup of the stock rom when you decide to install a new custom rom !
CASE CLOSED !

Returning to Stock - Cannot S-ON

After receiving this phone from a friend with S-OFF already set, I've been unable to install my enterprise email application (GOOD) because of a failed compliance check. As a result, I'm trying to return to 100% stock. I've followed this guide to flash stock rom, etc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
and then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
But when I run this command to turn S-ON from DOWNLOAD mode:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
I get the following error:
Code:
(bootloader) Verify hosd Fail(-1)
FAILED (remote: Partition verify fail -1)
finished. total time: 1.478s
Anyone else experience the same. Any suggestions welcome!

You're getting that error because something on your phone is not 100% stock and it's failing the security check. Be glad, because this is preventing a brick. You may have the wrong firmware on the phone. It needs to match your CID and MID.
I would be surprised if your enterprise security check is failing because of s-off (though I suppose it's possible). Usually those checks stop at root, or at best unlocked bootloaders.
Going back to s-on can be very risky unless you're certain your phone is 100% out-of-the-box stock. Anything else can cause instability or brickage.

Thanks for the response. How can I go about determining what is still outstanding as not stock. I've followed the guides step-by-step. I have locked the bootloader and *LOCKED* is reported when in DOWNLOAD mode. As per the guide, my current CID/MID which match the RUU I've installed:
Code:
CID = HTC__032
Code:
MID = 0PJA10000
Is there anything else I'm missing that I can check to identify where my combination of things is still resulting in non-Stock?
Thanks in advance.

hi guy's . do we need twrp and super su to get bootloader locked and s-on again . regard's Joe.

As noted, I really don't think s-off is your problem, and going back to s-on is risky. If you get your system back to stock otherwise, you should be able to install your mail.

Why do you need to go s-on again? There is really no good reason to do it, and it's risky.

Reporting back after successfully solving this, and....you were right with EVERYTHING you said. The ultimate cause was an incorrect MID being documented for the stock Rogers (Canadian carrier) ROM/RUU I was trying to install. Also, I listened to your advice and did not configure S-ON and installation of GOOD for Enterprise succeeded without any compliance errors.

good to hear, glad those "i'm 100% fully stock", signatures keep failing
yes, yes, that slightly modded aboot or hosd, shouldn't "really" interfere ... or do those actually matter

On a related note, do you know what hosd is? I know it's firmware partition, but I couldn't seem to figure out what it was exactly.

from the looks of it (yeah kinda had to take look), it's "just a kernel", unpack it, and you'll end up seeing more of what we used to call hboot
the decryption keys are there, as is mentioned in @joeykrim's thread
the download mode is there too, as well as much other stuff (including some of the nonsense "text" people wanna get rid off for absolutely not comprehensible reason, imho)
EDIT: I'm 100% sure, I'm 100% stock

Just got an M9 today and need some tips...

Hello everyone, I I just got an M9 at my local Telus store and I would like to be able to do everything with it like I am able to do with my M7, so I know I will need to use sunshine to get S-OFF and I would also like to be able to change everything from the rom to the kernel to the OS, everything, so I was just wondering if someone could let me know the best order to go about doing things, meaning should I do sunshine first then worry about flashing a recovery and all that, or should I do the recovery first so that I can backup the phones current state? The phone currently says this in the hboot screen:
*** LOCKED ***
LK-1.0.0.0000
OS-1.32.661.6
and this is what it says on the phones Setting-About-Software screen:
Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
7.0
Like I mentioned before, it would probably be best if I can make a backup of the phones current state just in case there are any issues, so to do that I know I need a recovery, but do I need to do the HTC Dev unlocker before I can do so? or do I have to flash a recovery first before everything else?
Now, before anyone gets upset with me for asking these questions because they have most likely been asked 1000 times before, I am not asking to be spoon feed all the details step by step, I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction and asking for you guy's opinions on the best way to go about doing things so that I do them right the first time... So if anyone could please take a minute to help me out and get me pointed in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated... thank you very much...

First thing you should do is unlock your bootloader. After that you can install twrp and flash supersu (most can be found here) Once you are rooted run sunshine. After that the sky is the limit. You will be free to flash anything and everything. I know because I've done it. If you want to convert to a developers edition there is a post here. Personally I do not use my stock recovery or system image backups to download ota's. I prefer to run an RUU and do fresh installs. Reason why is because I am constantly changing firmware and roms. A lot of roms are based on the WWE firmware.
let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you very much for the tips.. Do I use the HTC Dev website to unlock the bootloader? I seen a link in the dev thread that said Unlock bootloader without HTCDev(root required), but I bet that the HTCDev way is probably the best best. which did you use? I'm not at home right now so I will begin when I get home later on tonight and if I need anything else I will post back, plus I post back to say how everything goes.. Thanks again for help, it is very much appreciated...

I've used htcdev for all 2 out o 3 of my m9's. third one is a developer edition so it wasn't needed.
just note download mode is fastboot mode on the m9. htcdev says to boot to fastboot mode and if you do not know than you can waste hours trying to figure it out.

lol I so would have gotten caught up on that lol thanks again man!!! will post back later on...

cool..let me know if you get stuck anywhere

Ok so I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, right now I am taking a backup of the phones current state just in case. Now I just need to flash the SuperSU beta from the link you provided and then run sunshine, after that I would like to flash the latest OS for my phone, but I am not sure which version to use, I think this one is correct http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678 but I am not 100% sure, do you know if this is the correct latest version for my phone?
Also should I supercid my phone before updating the firmware by entering "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" while in download mode? because my cid is TELUS001 and I do not see that cid listed in the androidinfo.txt file that is in the firmware zip...
Thanks again for all your help...
**UPDATE** I now have S-OFF, I can't believe how smooth the whole process is now with sunshine compared to almost all of my other HTC phones, hats off to those guys for sure... Thank you very much for getting me this far!!! I appreciate it very much...

I was actually just going to tell you to type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
while in download mode and to copy and paste that into a file a text file somewhere so you always have it. then you can supercid. I actually have never seen any firmware for your carrier. what is your mid? this is where I get all of my firmware from. I learned how to remove the red text using hex editor and I also throw in a custom splash screen before I flash.
Here is a link for your stock firmware. not sure what the most up to date is but most custom roms are using the WWE firmware anyways.
p.s. either quote me or tag me if you need a faster response. I'm not getting notifications otherwise.

I honestly don't know if the hardware is any different but it looks like your mid is the same as the dev ed. check this one out. @clsA is very knowledgeable on the m9. I learned a lot of what I know from his posts.

If going to dev ed I have had better luck running an RUU and accepting ota's as far as the radio goes. my reception went from 2 bars to full bars doing it that way verses just flashing the newest firmware. But it is a very long and tedious process and since you just got your m9 I'm sure you want to use it already..

Ok so I got the firmware updated to the latest international version 2.10 and was able to flash the ViperOne Rom and I love it just like I did for my M7... Everything is working great, except I have the problem that you mentioned would happen, I only show 1 bar for my signal strength, could you please let me know exactly what you had to do to fix it? Also, I would just like to say thank you once more, you helped me out a great deal and you made my upgrade to the M9 an absolute cake walk, so thank you very much for everything and for explaining the proper steps to take, I appreciate it very much...

Rumrunner won't pass test 1

Hi there
I am trying to gain s-off via rumrunner. I followed the instructions closely but when it attempts to check the bootloader and fastboot, it fails. My phone (Sprint m8), boots to boot loader but then it just sits there and rumrunner fails.
What is going wrong and how do I fix it? My phone is rooted and unlocked. I've got insertcoin and twrp flashed. Is there something wrong with fastboot? Please help as I am eager to gain s-off. I am thinking about just using Sunshine, but I don't want to pay the fee if it's not even going to work.
Thanks

Rumrunner hasn't worked for over a year and a half, and Firewater hasn't either.
Sunshine is the way to do it now if you want/need S-Off. You could buy a Java Card, but it would be more expensive.

Oh, wow , okay thanks. Yeah I thought it was weird but I was watching a video that was uploaded one week ago and the user was using rumrunner. I'm still a bit of a noob with this but the reason I am trying to gain s-off is because when I flash a new rom I either get stuck at the bootloader or the boot image. I'm guessing it's because I'm a-on and I would have to flash using abd commands on my pc? If I am wrong can someone please let me know? It's a bit confusing. Thanks

Is your firmware up to date?
Tell me what it says next to "OS" in your bootloader. If you are using an old version of TWRP, it may be blank. If it is, post the results of fastboot getvar all to determine the firmware version from that, but remove your IMEI and serial# first as that is private info.

Well it is blank. It just says "OS-".
How do I execute the fastboot getvar etc. ? In a command window on my computer or? Sorry. Noob is shining here

I just updated twrp like last week though?

Yeah my twrp version is 2.8.5.0

Did you buy the phone rooted, or did you use ADB and fastboot to root yourself? Yes, you do it in CMD with the SDK/ADB software. Hook your phone up to your PC, open CMD in ADB (shift+right click and choose "open command window here")
enter adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot getvar all

I rooted it myself. I just tried it and got nothing after it says <waiting for device>. I could also be doing this wrong too though. SDK...Is this android audio whatever? Because I've been trying to find that and that's where it brought me, from every link. I downloaded the actual package with the program tools so I think I have it right but I'm not sure. Thanks for all the help by the way

I think I've got the right sdk tools and all. I just found another thread where someone had the same issue. He said it fixed magically overnight, but another said to uninstall the HTC drivers and reinstall on my pc. Guess I'll try that, unless you know another solution?

Okay. You "think" you have SDK? I'll tell you right now, your firmware is out of date. Run the software update/RUU from HTC's US website. I would tell you if you should run Sprint's standard RUU, or the Sprint H/K RUU, but since you have failed to provide me with the information to direct you to the proper firmware update that I asked for, I guess you can figure it out on your own by searching your CID and MID from your getvar output.
Here's a link to the HTC US Software Download page.
Good luck!

If you unlocked the bootloader yourself, you have a working adb/fastboot environment.
Be sure you are booted into OS, and have "USB Debugging" enabled in settings, to issue the adb command suggested by xunholyx.

Thanks @redpoint. Sorry for my ignorance and lack of knowledge guys, just trying to get things straight. Im guessing my next step as of now is to get my boot loader locked again and get my stock recovery back so I can update my firmware. It seems like I can't do much until I do so. I downloaded sunshine and it gave me an error about flashing a "non debuggable ram disk". Thanks again for your help. Any other advice is much appreciated

You shouldn't be "guessing" anything.
You have failed to provide the proper information (output from fastboot getvar all) which has been requested 3 times now. Can't provide the proper guidance without more info.

s-off isn't going to automatically (all by itself) fix your problem (flashing a ROM), if that is what you think.
You have 2 potential (probable) issues:
1) The ROM won't boot if your firmware is outdated (s-off makes it a bit easier to update firmware, but its not strictly required to do so)
2) ROM also won't boot if its does not specifically support the Sprint version M8

I'm failing to provide the info because it's not giving me the info! I'm guessing because I'm doing this on my own more or less

I have no idea what that means. Your computer is sensing you are doing this "on your own" and deciding it doesn't like that?
If you are having issues executing the advice given to you, you need to state that, along with the specific results, error messages, etc. A screenshot may also be helpful.
If you don't post that you tried, and it failed; all we can do is assume that you ignored or missed the advice.
If the computer is hanging "waiting for device" when you try "fastboot getvar all" then you should try another USB cable, another port, re-install HTC Sync, or even try another computer (if possible).
But I have no idea of knowing what the issue is, if you don't tell us.

Cid- SPCS_001
MID-0P6B70000

I hope those are the correct numbers that were needed

I want the full getvar output (minus IMEI and serial number, which are personal info) not just 2 pieces of it.

Here's what I got
Had to use the all in one toolkit to get it. Wasn't giving it to me with just the commands.

HTC 10 does not detect SIM card after battery and LCD replacment.

Hey guys,
After getting overwhelming reading on forums only to get my self confused at the end. Most threads I came across is last edited in 2016. Therefore I am little skeptical about moving forward.
Bottomline problem, Phone is fully working with PixelExperience ROM installed ( Clean flash) at the moment. BUT IT DOES NOT DETECT SIM CARD.
Model : HTC 10
Android Version : 9
Kernel Version : 3.18.120-IceMan-CAF-LA.UM.7.5
The phone was bought unlocked from HTC.
I have bootloader unlocked, but S-on.
TWRP version 3.3.1 (as of July 22-2019)
Upon reading many thread, It boils down to that I need to RUU in order to get my radio back working. (SIM card detection)
now RUU will not work unless I have S-off, in order to get S-off in need to pay sunshine fee.
Now sunshine needs device to be rooted.
My device is never rooted before, now rooting device has choices, something called SuperSu or Magisk etc.
this is where I am super confused.
I need help before I move on.
My understanding is
step 1: root the device as I already have bootloader unlocked. and TWRP installed and working.
Step 2 : get the S-off by paying sunshine fee
Step 3 : RUU the zip to go back to stock!! ( here also one more question , my kernel is already latest what does RUU do? will it downgrade? )
Step 4 : insert sim and use the Phone as intended !!!(lol)
Please help, I am having nightmare.

Where are you reading soff is needed for ruu.
That's not true.
You need an ruu for your specific device model.
Which model is your 10?

Do you see it say FIRMWARE.. that's not an ruu.
Firmware is a way of updating from say N to P without needing to flash entire ruu.
Firmware is in the ruu along with system, boot, recovery..

3.16.617.2 = us unlocked
Simply find the 3.16.617.2 RUU and flash it.
Here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850487062
This will wipe internal storage..
How to install:
Option 1 - PERSONALLY SUGGESTED
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

Respected Andybones,
I cannot thank you enough sir. After struggling for almost 48 hours. reading a lot threads. Sleepless nights. Finally my Phone is Back to Stock!!
(I am certainly hoping that it would now see the SIM card. I have to go to At&t store tomorrow to get my IMEI into their system.)
I just want to borrow your brain for few more questions.
I noticed that I am on Android 8 now.
Does this mean, My bootloader is locked again? TWRP is gone?
Can I install custom ROM?
Finally, what caused such issue? I do not understand what happened?
If you own HTC 10, what rom do you recommend? I used LinageOS.
Let me know,
Sincerely,

You're so very welcome.
Trust me, I know how tough it can be to fully understand an htc device and it's workings. Once you start to get into it like you have now, I'm sure you came out with some knowledge, so I'm more than happy to help.
I didn't realize you were still on Android 7. You're on 8 now because the RUU I gave you was android 8.(don't try and downgrade. You can but it's not as easy as flashing the android 7 ruu)
The ruu contains everything to make your device stock again, including stock system, stock kernel, stock recovery.
Flashing ruu doesn't touch an soff flag nor bootloader lock.(boot on into download mode and check it out). But even if it did lock it, which won't ever happen, you can always re-unlock bootloader.
It's only us Verizon users who suffer by blocking us from unlocking. NOT COOL VERIZON!!!
You just need to flash twrp again (get latest version), then flash roms as you desire.
I suggest any recent Pie rom. Thanks to dev Fagyi he has really made this phone great again. He maintains Stock lineage 16 is awesome, and theirs a few roms out based on his lineage, including my crdroidandroid rom. Also Fagyi has I think 2 roms based on AOSP rather lineage.
If you want Sense then LeeDroid is the ROM you want.
I'm actually not too sure what caused the sim issue unfortunately. I do have faith that att can get it going for you tmw. Fingers are crossed my friend.
Please keep me posted. :good:

Respected Andybones,
This is just an update. Please give me your input whenever u get a chance. Here is what happened.
My phone got back to stock succefully. I noticed it did not touch the bootloader. it was still unlocked. S-on. I successfully flashed TWRP again. All went well. Next day morning I was supposed to go to ATT store and get phone working. but I could not wait till morning. That night I flashed the phone with Pixel Experience again, as I thought my radio should be working now. ( I think I should have waited. Not sure why?)
So once again, I have perfectly working phone with Pixel Experience rom on it. but yet again it does not detect SIM card. The difference between stock and this rom is, STock was showing bars on top. at least detecting no cellular network. This is my uneducated guess!! lol
I am one-more time going to RUU with your zip. restore back to stock and shall see what happens. ( I know I should have waited before I flashed with PE)
Just to confirm and make sure.. I believe am currently on Oreo Firmware as the OS - 3.16.617.2 ( displays on download mode)
I think I should still be fine with the RUU zip you gave me.

Hey man, I don't think it's any issue you flashed pixel experience. You can always just reflash the ruu and get back to stock. Unfortunately, it could be a physical issue with the sim not getting detected but since stock showed bars, I think you need a new att sim card possibly.
But yes you may flash that same ruu and any that are x.xx.617.x and up. But I think the one I gave is the newest.
.617 refers to your device.
Mine for example (Verizon) is .605
Hope I've been of help. :good:

Your guess was right. Does not seem like ROM issue. It now seems like hardware issue. I may have missed to connect an antenna properly. Or Something got damaged. I cannot say for sure.
I am now on market to for new phone at an odd time of the year !!!
I must thanks again for all your replies and answers with patience.
