I hope this is in the correct section... I've been searching but a little turned around and lost.
Just got a new Evo yesterday and it came with 2.2. I used this method: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719763
I've also been reading a lot of forums and tutorials but still feel a little lost. I don't want to flash a custom ROM because I want 4G/WiMax but I would like to use a custom kernel to unlock the 30Hz refresh rate lock and enable overclocking/hotspot. I do not need HDMI.
I've been reading that Unrevoked 3 isn't a full root and I need to unlock my NAND via another method. I am also unsure how to change my kernel or which one to use on Froyo 2.2. I'm furthermore confused whether
How can I unlock my NAND after using the guide above, and could anyone recommend a kernel for my requirements?
My phones revision is 003.
I might just be an idiot LOL. It looks like if I downgraded to 2.1 and ran unrevoked forever, I should have S-OFF which means my NAND is unlocked already?
This means I should be able to just download a kernel compatible with 2.2 and flash that correct?
ok, SysFailure, here is the deal, follow the link below to root/nand-unlock your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
You are 100% correct, the UnRevoked team has not created a exploit for a stock 2.2 froyo EVO, so the link shows you how to downgrade your EVO to 2.1, root and nand-unlock it, then upgrade to 2.2. BE ADVISED, his step-by-step procedure is not quite step-by-step. You can do it, just follow his steps EXACTLY, then if you hit an issue, think through it, get through it, right.
I rooted my stock 2.2 EVO using his steps. Here is what I have now:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.07.28

Hello all.
I have a Ouku Horizon (p801w) bought through Lichtinthebox.com
I am very happy but I would like a other version of Android.
I'm no expert on this, so I ask your help.
Now I have:
Android 2.2.2
Baseband version iris_p800w_V1.20
Kernel 2.6.35.7 root @ scm-Perf # 3
Build number FRG83g
software version iris_p801w_V1.21
Hardware version IRIS_MP
I would like Gingerbread, but a newer version of Froyo is also good.
would you like to give to a HOW_TO?
hi
did you were able to rooted it?
I rooted mine but when I tried to backup the rom so I can flash a new one
it boot loops now I'm stuck...
boot ouku horizon : universal Androot still doesn't work
i tried androot on my ouku and it doesn't work. you say you managed to root it?
how did you do?
i'm on linux mint and my phone in on froyo.
I obviously tried to boot with the latest version of superoneclick. it opens properly etc BUT it keeps saying "waiting for device"
regards
How to get Root to flash this phone as described in the Russian forum forum.china-iphone.ru in this topic viewtopic.php?f=37&t=14382
careful though
i sure don't understand russian. according google translation, this just tells you how to use superoneclick on your ouku.
with me it didn't work so far.
i'm trying again and i'll come back with more info if it works. if there is no more message after that one, just make a educated guess.
Removing changes to update purchased M9
Hi guys, apologizes in advance for the (potentially) stupid questions. This is the first time I've had to work backwards so to speak...
I purchased a M9 from eBay in the US a few days ago. Everything is working fine, up until I tried to install the lastest software update (1.32.617.30). I get the error "htc system has been remounted r/w reflash the device to re enable ota updates". Digging a little deeper I find the bootloader is locked but it does have S-off. Not finding any evidence of a root but obviously it has been at some point. My question is, is is possible to restore the blocks to original (or force the update through) without any previous backups or even knowing the history of the phone? Would RUU developer edition work without knowing if it came from AT&T/factory unlocked ect?
Some other info if it matters:
Android 5.0.2
Software # 1.32.617.6
Kernel 3.10.49-gc7c4f20 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband 01.01_U11440221_59.04.50303G_2F
Build 1.32.617.6 CL493992 release-keys
Thanks in advance
Hi.
You can run the RUU. It's unlocked to work on all carriers, so don't worry.
Also, 1.31.617 isn't the latest software update, 2.11.617.15 is.
You can download the official RUU from HTC's US website.
Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions and read them. The RUU is at the end of the instructions.
This will return you to stock, and IT WILL also WIPE YOUR PHONE, so backup anything important to you.
(From later on in this thread)

Hello again, sorry to bother you guys but I'm seeing a surprising amount of conflicting information about this...
So I'm trying to upgrade to Nougat, but I'm having some troubles figuring out what I need to do for that.
I know I need to get my phone back to stock so I can accept the OTA update, but I'm not sure how to go about that.
My phone currently:
- Phone Model: HTC One A9 (Sprint - 2PQ93)
- Android Version: 6.0.1
- Software Version: 1.60.651.4
- Root: Yes
- Recovery: TWRP v2.8.8.2_CPTB-TEST2
- S: ON
- Bootloader: Unlocked
- Software Status: Modified
So as far as I'm aware, I need to restore the Stock recovery (how?), re-flash the RUU for my current software version, and then... relock the bootloader? Maybe?
So my questions are...
- How do I actually restore the stock recovery?
- Are there any steps I'm missing?
- Do I need to re-lock the bootloader, or does that not matter?
(- Is there anything I need to do once I get Nougat to root besides flash TWRP 3.0.3 & SuperSU through that?)
Thanks!

=============== ORIGINAL POST ===============
Hello,
I'm basically at my wit's end and I'd just like to see if anyone knows whether it's actually possible to get Android 7.0 Nougat on my phone?
I currently have a rooted, RUU-updated 6.0.1 build of Android (Version Number: 1.60.651.4) running on a Sprint (so CDMA) HTC One A9 (Model Number: 2PQ9300). My phone is still S-On (I'm willing to pay for Sunshine if it'll actually work for me, but I'd like to confirm that first), and due to the updating process I do not currently have TWRP - that's easily fixed, however.
Mostly, I'd just like to know if there's a way to get Android 7.0 on my phone, as it is not the International version, while also retaining things like mobile data and calling.
So far, I've looked into simply flashing the RUU (seems to be both not compatible with my phone version, and also has the signing issue mentioned Here), however with the signing issue I'd have to OTA update first so that's not relevant.
I've looked into Sunshine for S-OFF as well as This thread to convert to the "Unlocked" version that has the update, however I'm seeing comments about it not being compatible with the Sprint edition.
I've most recently tried to follow This guide, however I've had no luck and I'm still seeing talk of random reboots, dropped calls, and the like.
Basically, if there's any way I can get Android 7.0 Nougat on my phone, I would love to know how - if I can't (reasonably), then I'd also like to know that so I can stop beating my head into the wall, so to speak
Thanks!

So far, the CDMA versions of the A9 can't run Nougat. As you know, HTC hasn't updated it for Nougat, and our phones run different enough firmware from the GSM-Locked and Dev versions that we can't use theirs. And so far, HTC's Dev Nougat requires Nougat firmware. So... we're boned.
Hopefully this won't be forever; HTC should eventually update American phones, so we'll just have to factory reset from system image (and maybe RUU) and OTA. For now, we can only hope guys like Captain_Throwback figure out how to backport Nougat to the 1.60.651.4 firmware.

hey,
can you try this ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/htc-one-a9-android-7-nougat-t3546557
New info: Nougat is now available via OTA. Now we just need to... get back to full stock.
Woo! Just saw the notification. So now the question is if TWRP will work with 7.0 on our phones.. I think I'd rather keep root than upgrade and lose it if there's a choice.

I saw, but I'm not sure what's going on in the thread right now. It seems it sometimes bootloops? I'm hesitant to upgrade until there's either an RUU for 2.whatever out or I'm sure TWRP is reliable. I'm resigning myself to living without Xposed, but I at least need root and Magisk.

Whelp.
I'm upset, lol.
Time to re-reset my phone (finally got it set back up the way I wanted it yesterday on 6.0.1)
Oh well, thanks for the heads up!
I have the Sprint a9. I flashed the ruu and flashed TWRP 3.0.3-1 I believe, with no issues
Okay, so before I go re-wipe my phone and upgrade, I have a few quick questions...
1) Can this update be flashed with S-ON? (I'm assuming so, but always good to check) and
2) Can the Sprint A9 be rooted on Nougat yet?
Thanks!
I used TWRP 3.0.3.-4 and root with Magisk. Still miss Xposed, but the N features are pretty nice too. All seems to be working well.

If you don't have an unmodified system image from before you mounted the system partition then yes, you do have to use an RUU, which will also give you stock recovery. No, you don't need to do anything with the bootloader.
Flash the RUU for the version you're on now, start up normally and take the OTA. No, I didn't have to do anything special besides making double checking /system is mounted read-only in TWRP. Personally I like using Magisk for root, etc, but I've heard SuperSU works fine. too. I'm S-on as well and it was all very easy.
I have a modified htc one a9 sprint, i want to get back to fully stock so i can update my device by using RUU side load. Please help

What is your CID, MID and version-main? Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? S-ON or S-OFF?
I have attached a screenshot of getvar all for my device, when i was attemping to update it by using RUU its status was LOCKED and S-OFF but currently its status is **RE-LOCKED** and S-OFF

What ruu version were you trying to flash and what was the error?
It was RUU_HIA_AERO_WHL_N70_SENSE80GP_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_2.18.651.2 and the ERROR that I received was SIGNARURE ERROR: 132

You can't flash a nougat ruu (2.xx.xxx.x) on a phone running the marshmallow firmware (1.xx.xxx.x). You need to manually update your firmware to 2.xx.651.x before being able to flash the 2.18.651.2 RUU. This is because the new signature key implemented in all 2.xx.xxx.x ruu, explained here at faq #4
Or you can flash the older 1.60.651.4 ruu and after, update your phone using OTA updates. Probably the easiest way for you :good:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_WHL_M60_SENSE7GP_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_1.60.651.4.exe
This seems to be of great help to me, but am afraid i can't install the OTA in my device, b'se I received it and i did downloaded it but when i click to install it finish unzipping file and then fail and the phone boots in TWRP recovery so i thought i can update it by running a RUU side load
