so i just made an EPIC FAIL.
i got my m9 and rooted it. great!
then i somehow ended up on the international forum and downloaded (and flashed) an international rom. Wouldn't you know that there's no data.
so aside from being an complete idiot i'm in desperate need of any Sprint M9 Rom or the Factory RUU.
ANYONE?!!?

If flashing a rom will fix it, there will probs be one in a few days. If you need a RUU... You're in for a wait... Keep your eyes on my thread here; I'll update it as soon as a RUU or rom is available!

Sorry for the thread similar to other but mine is a little different and am looking for confirmation before I break my phone
I will be selling my Sprint Evo 3D that is rooted with S-Off. It currently has Fresh Rom 4.2(with the newest update) installed. I am likely selling it to someone who wants it stock and unrooted. Am I ok to run the ruu in the link below, anything else I need to do? Thanks!!

Just ensure to rename the file properly but, yes, that is all you need.
Thank you so much! I just wanted to verify before I bricked my phone right before I sold it.
Will this work for the 1.5hboot htc unlocked method to make it appear stock?

I've never had to deal with the HTC unlock method however I believe you can just go to the website and re-lock your phone. I know I have seen this questions pop up before.
Hi...
i've rooted, HTC unlocked my Sprint Evo 4G LTE as well as flashed the MeanROM.
Will be safe for the OTA i will receive soon for 4G LTE from sprint if i use the "Original Stock" ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766628&highlight=original+stock
Or do i have to do the whole relocking the bootloader and using RUU, etc?
Thanks in advance !

So if i download that ROM that i linked to (Not the meanROM, the supposed stock ROM) and flashed it ... i still cannot accept any OTA updates?
I guess i just need an explanation as to why i can't receive OTAs on any ROM other than the official out of the box stock ROM. Is it the unlocked boot loader? Is is because it is rooted? Which ROMs will allow me to receive OTAs ?
If that is what's happening i would most definitely like to revert to stock as we have the new 4G LTE OTA update from Sprint coming soon here in, probably today, and i wont be around for my friend to flash his ROMs forever. It's starting to look like doing him a favor was a mistake. I should have only rooted it.
Any links, guides, or info about how to return his phone to stock as if right out of the box would be much appreciated. I made backups but i think he deleted them ...
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

You never want to accept an OTA. Ever. If you do you can no longer gain s-off and it will severely hinder what you can flash from recovery.
Just flash any of the Roms and radios based on the newest update and you are done.
Once more for clarity...

Thank you for that explanation. Why else would the developers add firmware updates separately on their pages? I should have known.
My buddy did say that he accepted an OTA even tho i told him not to... he said it snuck up on him and wouldn't have known if he hadn't needed to use his phone at THAT moment.
Could this be why i cannot find the backup i created previously? Just wondering ... I can obviously flash and root etc but the "Devil is in to detail" and i don't have all the details yet.
Thanks again.
I could be way wrong here, but I don't believe you can accept the OTA with a custom recovery installed. I tried doing the OTA and it simply rebooted into TWRP. I tried installing it from there and it kept failing. So I think you do have to re-lock, RUU, then update, then reroot. That's the path I took.
Or do what everyone else is suggesting and flash what the devs made.
HELLO!
Alright, this might be a difficult question to get a simple answer but I'm willing to learn a few new things from this in return!
The other day I decided to try out a new custom rom on my HTC One M7ATT, and with great success I was able to flash the latest Insert Coin rom running Android 4.4.2 and Sense 6. My problem formed when I tried to flash another rom to see whats out there. I decided that latest AOKP would be a nice choice. Once I was back into my recovery and ready to flash, I found out that my phone changed over to a M7WLV, and from what I found online, my phone now thinks that it's a HTC One from Sprint. In result, I can't flash the AOKP zip through TWRP
My questions are...
#1. How do I revert my M7WLV back into a M7ATT so that I could flash my roms, without going through RUU.
#2. How come there isn't really any information out there for this magical M7WLV
I totally appreciate any and all responses, and I'll be as informative as possible at working with anyone! Thanks! : )

The problem you will run into it that the hardware radio on the ATT phone is not the same as the Verizon phone. That being said there are some Verizon AWS bands used for data that the ATT phone won't support and there is no magic bullet for this issue.

So what I'm picking up from this is that when I flashed the rom that I originally wanted to use, I ended up flashing it along with a kernel that changed my radio over to Verizon from ATT. From what my bootloader is telling me, my radio's image 4A.14.3250.13
Since I'm still getting service through my carrier (ATT) I imagine that the M7WLV was due to something else
Would you think that it would be safe to try to wipe my phone back into it's original unlocked state and start over?
Thanks for getting back to me on this man!!

In order to take ota the system needs to be stock. The HDD I had mine on died and the only one I have been able to find is for the Dev edition of the m9. Will this one still work for me, or do I need to use a Sprint m9 backup? Also if I have to use the sprint version can someone provide that to me. Thanks in advance.

So I assume you are referring to the (old) OTA from back in the beginning of April? Or are you suggesting that a new OTA is on its way? If you want to get your phone to the perfect state where you can take an OTA when one does come out you can always just use the latest RUU that omj posted. He has both RUU's the .17 and .30. Flash a stock recovery and run an RUU and you should be ok. Remember RUU's wipe all data.
Flashing the untouched /system partition works too though I never had any luck with it. Do note that this was like day one when the whole untouched system partition check was discovered so at the time I could have been given a bad (touched) /system.

Solved turns out using an aftermarket cord was somehow the issue. Even though the cord was a data cord. Pleases ignore/close thread
Could you please guide me through a return to 100% stock of my August - HTC M9 versio

Could you please guide me through a return to 100% stock of my August - HTC M9 version
I am hoping an amateur like me could get my phone fixed too through the help of the group here. I recently bought a swappa phone didnt realize the ATT HTC M9 phone was an unlocked international Custom ROM, it worked the first day smooth with my ATT SIM. But from day two I couldnt receive any incoming call. I was told that by the seller to switch back to stock ROM ... Thus I started this exploration, completed an S-OFF using the sunshine $25 apk, Enabled developer version and USB debugging, but am not very clear with the next steps.
Especially 1. Which ROM version to download ? Should I know the original stock firmware version, if so how to ?
2. By SD card is it meant Micro SD inserted in the phone ? Can it be done by USB cord with out SD card ?
3. The OS in the system info says 2.6.502.18 ROM HTC so should I use the same RUU ?
Sorry if the questions sound so amateurish can't help it.
With s-off then you should be able to flash any att ruu. As long as you haven't messed with your modelid (don't remember what it's called). I would recommend running any att m9 ruu to clean up your device then do a full conversion to the dev edition. That will give you a clean ROM to mess with and coming from my m8 I expierenced less issues while on a dev ruu while flashing roms. Also if you're running a ruu through your computer then you don't need a SD card .

Without S-off you can only flash RUUs that update your software or are the same version and you cannot flash RUUs meant for other devices like the DEV edition RUU.

So, I'm almost there - I'm unlocked (using HTCDEV site), TWRP Recovery installed, Rooted, and (FINALLY!!) S-OFF!! (not sure why, but that last one made me really nervous). Also changed CID to CWS_001 ........ so now I'm ready to flash the Developer ROM - but there are a bunch of them and I'm not sure which one I should use. My main goal is to get to Android 6.0 - can I use a RUU file to go directly to the Marshmallow firmware or is this something I have to do in steps? Will I lose OTA? Thanks again!

I am now officially a "convert" - i figured it out. I started with 1.32.502.31 and have been updating all afternoon. I'm finally on the last update - 3.35.617.2 and I'll have Marshmallow. Goodbye AT&T - I was really tired of waiting for them to get their act together.
