Cannot restore from DropBox through HTC account - HTC One A9

Hello everybody,
My M9+ got stolen earlier this week, got myself an A9 as replacement. I always use HTC back up to my DropBox and I can see the back-up is there but I cannot restore from it. In the back up and restore function it only shows my Google account with my google Drive but there is no selection for my HTC account possible meaning I have a back up that I cannot restore.
I am using the Taiwan version, HTC A9 A9u is what it says on the box.
Anybody out there with the same issue or a solution?
Thanks!

I don't think HTC backup is functional on this device due to the slimmed down version of sense.
My backup was also in Dropbox. When I backed up I'm sure I signed in with my Google account & the options were there.
I used my backup from M8 a fortnight ago & it worked perfectly, except for the apps & Widgets HTC have not included in this version of Sense.
I'm sure some of the other forum members can verify or shoot me down in flames ?

[Q] Problem with software update error message.

Hello, I just got my htc one x at&t so I unlock it and try use my carrier. I fix setting for having internet with my carrier and everything is pretty smooth. The problem is that when I try update software I get:
”error
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE
check for software update under settings
when service is available”
trying to update I go menu->settings->at&t software update->check for updates
The thing is I don’t get anything like you have latest software or something like that.
Searching for answer I saw that many people said that changing sim worked for them…the thing is that I don’t have any other micro-sim (yesterday I change my mini-sim to mini micro-sim and I don’t have any other). So I came up with another idea.. trying to update without any sim in phone…but still I get some message so any idea???
ps: I can not use at&t sim I don’t live in usa just bought it from there.
Ok wow ..I'm going to provide this link for you and hopefully you can use it. No offense but it doesn't sound like you know what you are doing....please becareful with your phone so as not to perma brick it

Thanks for the advice..the thing is that phone is out of box just a day..so everything is stock i have not rooted or change room yet.As far as i know it is only when you have rooted your phone or change room that you must not acceps ota,now that my phone is completely stock there is no problem,am i right??
The link you gave me is the first thing i read before i even reacieve the phone!
The phone bought throught a person wich had it as a upgrade from his carrier so he check it works and sell it,so how i can check for 100% its not root?(Just for the 1% something is wrong).
If you are not in the US, that is probably the reason you cannot download the OTA. You typically need to be in the proper country to get OTAs.

AFAIK, there are only SIMs, Micro-SIMs, and nanoSIMs (Apple properietary). I don't know what you are talking about with mini SIM or mini Micro SIMs.

If you are not on the current AT&T 2.20 firmware (if you are still on 1.73 or 1.85), and have any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I would suggest not updating by OTA. Instead, root and unlock the bootloader now. 2.20 firmware updates the hboot, which plugs the hole by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
If you still want the official 2.20 firmware, just go to HTC's website and download the RUU for the AT&T version of the One X (download to your PC, and run it with the phone connected by USB). OTAs don't typically work if you are not in the intended country (USA). RUU will wipe the phone, but in my opinion, this is a cleaner/better install anyway and will cause less issues, which often happen with OTAs.

That's what i was saying about micro mini sim.(pic)
So i end up that i will work my mobile one month to see it runs smooth, i mean no need to use my warranty and then (after my exams) when i have time i will spend one day to read the [index] which you upload..and then i will flash the latest stock rom rooted!
One more question, flashing many roms (i did that one on my previous htc desire bravo) means installing the apps you usually use many times is there a trick to put your apps instant to the new room i mean without instaling them one at a time throught play store??
Thanks a lot!

Interesting, I just looked it up on Wikipedia. I didn't actually didn't know a full sized SIM was about the same size as a credit card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module#Formats
Of course, these haven't been used in a long time, so most people just call a mini-SIM a "SIM".
For practical purposes, GSM phones use either SIM (mini) or Micro-SIMs. With the exception of the latest generation of Apple products, which use nanoSIMs.
If you have a nano-SIM, you can buy an adapter to insert it into your One X.

Titanium Backup, which can be found on the Play Store. It will restore your apps and app data. Highly recommend the paid version, as you can batch restore all your apps after a ROM flash.

Telus Latest JB Update today 04/17/2013

My phone software upgrade notification is blinking with a massive 100 mb telus software update. Does anybody have a changelog? or improvements? I haven't been able to install the update in my phone because is rooted.

Download the update, just don't install. As soon as it is downloaded, plug the phone into the computer and go into downloads and you will find the ota file. Copy it onto the computer then delete it off your phone. Then upload it somewhere to get it to us. I disabled the ota checkin on mine, bit I want to see what is in this updates as I am working on roms

Something does not seem right. If he is rooted then he should not be getting notifications about OTA downloads, and should almost certainly not be able to download it until he RUUs back to a bone stock version. At least this is how AT&T treats its customers.
if this OTA is real I am hoping that it includes a bug fix for those of us affected by the Nav bug. I have downgraded back to ICS and given up on JB until my contract runs out or a fix is out, whichever comes first.
Thanks for the help. I will do that in the morning. Which website should I put the file link? I'm a first timer but I would like to help.

841 is Telstra not Telus.
Telstra have not announced that they are currently releasing this update.
You should be able to find the file in your downloads folder on the phone. All we need is the exact name of the file. We dont actually need you to upload the file anywhere so long as you can give us the exact name.
eg:
OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Telstra_WWE_3.17.841.9_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_2997538hizl4svcm80o4g1.zip
The end bit will be different and needs to be exact.
PS. 100mb is not massive. A full ROM is about 700mb. Also what made you think this was a Telus update? Do you have a Telus phone, your signature gives the impression you have an AT&T phone.
What ROM are you running, stock, Viper?
100 megs is pretty big for a ota update imho ... i read the htc one x+ got a fairly large update as well
Sorry, it's Telstra. Urdroid 1.8. I can't find the file in the download folder. I can't stop the installation process either. The phone will do it weather is connected to the computer or not

Yup, the 2 One X+ updates (AT&T and Telus) were between 50 and 60 MBs and most files are patched so the changes in the updates are mostly deltas so 100 MBs is quite the substantial update, although the build version didn't increase by much.
The updates to JB were full roms because the deltas would have been almost the same size.

Urdroid 1.8 Rom has released the update to merge with the ROM. Working good so far. I don't know the change log yet.

For those that are interested this update updates firmware for radio, dsp and the secure bootloader.
It also has a bunch of patch files for the system. I havent looked at the patch files as they are extremely tedious and boring to check. It updates numerous libs and apps likely to current versions. Any better description would need to come from HTC and/or Telstra."
Thanks.

If you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup to remove the AT&T apps on a stock ROM. The Sense 5 ROM you linked to is pretty darn good though, I'm using that at the moment.

The only way to get rid of it is to root, after you have rooted, go to the play store and dowload an app called, Titanium Backup and delete the bloatware that you don't want. What carrier do you have?
By definition, if the bloat is removed, its not a stock ROM anymore.
If you want a nice custom ROM, very close to stock, but with the bloat removed and some nice optimizatons, look at CleanROM.
Or just manually freeze or uninstall bloat as previously recommended.

Why I do not receive the latest 4.2.2. OTA update?

Hello,
I have recently bought from eBay a beautiful new HTC One SV and I wonder why I cannot receive the latest 4.2.2 upgrade through OTA.
I asked the HTC support in UK and they told me the phone is branded Virgin UK and I have to wait for them to release the upgrade. But I read on other post that the upgrade is already available from Virgin mobile.
I tried to unlock the phone, doing several factory reset, changed the sim to a different provider, but no success... Now the phone is re-locked.
This is the current configuration:
sw: 2.14.401.6
CID: HTC__001
Android version: 4.1.2
Can somebody please help me to get the latest 4.2.2 update?
Thanks!
Alberto

Hi Modding.MyMind,
Thanks for your answer. I have tried yes, several times but no success... It always says your sw is the latest version.
When I switched on the phone the first time, there was a system update of about 34Mb and nothing more.
The sw is still 4.1.2.
You may need to sit and be patience then. Sometimes a new device that has been activated needs to be processed in the system through their database. Not sure how long you have had your device activated though. I would think at most, a week (and that is pushing it lol).

I have activated the phone about 3 weeks ago... Where do you think can I find the right OTA? And how can I install it manually?
Thanks!
Android ruu. Google that. There is a website by that name. Scroll down to K2 and select the link. There you can find OTA's. Though, I do not know if it has the one you need honestly. Also, check out @old.splatterhand index thread. You would need to place it on your internal sdcard and then reboot. If the right one you should get a notification at the top of your phone.

In my opinion, this the available "free" software of an unbranded phone.
Regarding htcdev.com, Virgin mobile Software number should be 2.14.652.6 or 2.14.351.6 (if i'm not totally wrong).

Put the update on your device's SD card and flash it from within recovery (TWRP, CWM, possibly stock)
I don't think you can flash OTA zips through custom recovery....

An OTA is downloaded in the /storage/sdcard0/Download/ directory and once applied it is removed. However, if saved and not applied it will remain there. Anyways, that is the location where it is normally stored when you get that notification (assuming it is the proper OTA).

Actually, now that I think of it.... Stock recovery comes with a prebuilt feature very similar to CWM. So with that said, guess the location wouldnt necessarily matter if applied that way.

Rooted - fairly simple

I rooted using twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar via Odin 3.07, and installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip from the SD .
Now, when will there be ROMs?
Did you root the non-dev or dev version?
---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong, but trltetmo is for T-Mobile, isn't it?
FYI - this method does not work on retail phones . . . at least for me.
We probably won't see root until our boot loader is unlocked by Verizon.
Mine is dev and was a quick easy root exactly as stated.

I used this same method and can confirm it works flawlessly.
Works great. Having troubles with making and receiving casks atm but I think this is something else since it was working fine before that.
That's odd. I haven't had any issues yet. Using Xposed for a few tweaks and to activate the hotspot. Would be great to have a couple of roms to test.

Thank you! It was what I dreaded, but I'll keep hope alive! lol UGH.
Verizon has spent a ton of money locking down their bootloaders, there has been a bounty for the galaxy s4 bootloader for quite some time now (think we are in the third year or more) even if root comes to the retail version (hard to see that since the only root methods currently involve flashing something with odin) it is even less likely any of them will see custom roms. that is unless someone picks up the safestrap project as i last heard it was dropped. Dev editions are going to be the new norm for anyone on verizon, gonna be the only way to get custom anythings.
that said has anyone been able to extract their stock recovery or make a backup of the stock image from their dev edition? at this point i'd be like forever your BFF if you could get me back to stock since KIES wont work and samsung support doesnt even know the Developer Edition is on sale yet...... let along can they get me a stock recovery image lol....
also i just inboxed you @ffr3245 i am not sure if ti will work, but at this point i'd try just about anything.
I can not get these to upload!!! Anyways, I found docugod's post where he had uploaded his recovery image which is stock without root from Note Edge Developer Ed. Thanks go to him. With that being said, you should not have any problems using that recovery image. But as always do so at your own risk. And for anyone else reading.......This is for the Note Edge DEVELOPER EDITION, it is NOT for the retail Verizon one.
