To clarify this is T-Mobile firmware and while it should work fine with any roms based on 3.35 it may experience issues.
Must be S-Off.
This is a firmware update to 3.39.531..7
This will not wipe your phone.
This will have NO RED TEXT ON BOOT.
This has TWRP 3.0.0 included and will replace whatever current recovery you have.
to flash put the zip in whatever folder your fastboot is in
boot into download mode
then in adb
type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
then after phone reboot type
Code:
fastboot flash zip M9_3.39.531.7_NoWipe_TWRP3001.zip
more then likely you will get an hboot error. thats okay after the reboot type the exact same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip M9_3.39.531.7_NoWipe_TWRP3001.zip
after its done flashing type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
done!
Includes T-Mobile Radio: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911968636
Radio Removed: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911969231

my phone had no problems with 3.35....
but now i have no gsm signal, i can not even give in the pin at startup, whats the problem with this Radio?
i am using viper 4.3 Rom
Works with AICP rom (Perhaps others like Candy / CRDroid may work too ... dont take my word).
Does NOT work with ARHD (didn't for me, no signal and lots of freezing).

No it doesn't because the OP stated he is using Viper Rom himself and it works fine. So it isn't for a 'specific' rom type.
Sometimes things work, sometimes they dont, unfortunately. I'm merely pointing out that as it works fine for AICP rom, perhaps other AOSP style roms will work with it as well as I found that ARHD didn't work at all for the reasons I stated above.
I lose my baseband as well when I install a lower firmware ROM to my phone which runs on a higher firmware now.
There might be ROMs where that doesn't happen. Haven't tried all the 3.35 ones yet.
If you lose your baseband then goto my radio firmware thread and find the radio you want to use. They are recovery flash able zips.

Damn, I have had such a rough almost year that I literally haven't even s-off'd my M9 yet! Is it even still possible to buy that thing that everyone got for $20 or $25? Your mod is EXACTLY what I want for my T-Mo rooted stock phone. There was an Xposed module that did that and hid status bar icons and unwanted persistent notifications but it wasn't updated for Marshmallow. This seems perfect so I need to s-off! Oh and do you know how to get rid of the power saver notification that is always on?
Do you know the changelog?

Greetings Everyone !
Flashing a ROM can bring you problems. One of these's problems is the «Wifi Error» or the «Data Error» where you can't enable wifi or access to Data because it's written Error or you don't have mobile data.
Major Problem 1 -> S-ON ROM flash without 4ext SmartFlash Enabled
People who are flashing ROM while being S-ON needs to enabled SmartFlash [GUIDE] Flashing roms with S-ON and 1.27+ HBOOT
You only need to do this ONCE, once you have flashed your first custom ROM and enabled permanent smartflash, you don't need to this any more!
Major Problem 2 ->RIL/Radio Match
RIL/Radio Match is not required if you want internet to work. When you have the «Wifi Error» the problem can be from an RIL/Radio bad match. You need to have the good RIL/Radiofor you. Here's a list of RIL/Radio A better match = Better result (wifi speed, etc.) You can use this app, GETRIL to find if your RIL/Radio match.
Major Problem 3 ->Kernel
T-Macgnolia said:
Let me explain the boot.img a little so you know why it is so important. The boot.img does just watt te name implies, it is what boots the Android ROM on your device. Now let me explain this a little further, the Android OS runs on top of eat is called a Lenox kernel. This means that your bootloader boots the Lenox kernel and the hardware of the device. The Lenox kernel then boots the Android OS. The kernel is also te connection between the hardware and the Android OS. So you see if the kernel is not compatible with the system that is on te system partition you will have troubles like WiFi not working or other I hardware reliant functions. So when you flash a new ROM and you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for te ROM are you will more than likely have troubles.

How to Flash boot.img:
1. First flash/install the rom via recovery
2. Get the boot.img and flash it via fastboot

As long as you stay in HTC unlocked bootloader the above steps are necessary to flash the rom completely to prevent bootloops and wifi errors

If you are getting very poor or no WiFi signal, you might take the back case off, and check the little golden pins above the camera. They may have gotten bent.
realsis said:
The antennas are the copper colored prongs on the inside of the phone case, and the inside of the phone. You can google it to get a better picture . Some say to CAREFULLY and SLIGHTLY lift the antennas to help with better reception but they are very fragile and the last thing you want to do is break them off so if you decide to do this, just do it slightly and very softly. You don't want to move them too much. I tired this myself to see if it would help with better reception, but honestly didn't see much difference. But it's worth a try. Just be very careful. I do hope you get your Wi-Fi problem solved. What you can do is take the device to a local cell phone repair shop. Perhaps they can fix the problem. And usually the local shops are quite reasonable in price. This might be a better option for you. This way the shop can trouble shoot and fix the problem with your Wi-Fi. It's another option.. hope this is helpful. Best of luck.

My evo lte is still s-on, and honestly i'm having so many problems with it. i'd like s-off but i'd have to do dirty racun and I don't have Ubuntu... anyways. right now i am having NO luck finding a rom that will work, i've tried charmeleon, mean rom, and a few others flashed them in recovery, flashed their boot.img in fastboot and I can't even see the boot image half the time. I did notice when the charmeleon rom was trying to install that it stopped when it said installing kernel and rebooted itself and I haven't been able to get past there. i'm not picky, at this point I want ANY rom that will actually work so i can have a phone again, please help
ps. I don't have a backup. I had several but somewhere in trying to figure things out, i wiped the entire sd card so i've just been installing roms and trying them via usb mount from recovery

It is cooked from the Google stock image for tilpia and is NOT deodexed
This is the first time i am posting a ROM on XDA.
Been cooking ROM's for a while for my old Samsung devices.
The whole reason for this thread is to have a flashable zip for any Nexus 7(2012) 3g user who wishes to stay stock.
I have tested it on my Nexus 7, if anyone has any issues do let me and please bear with me as im not a developer and just sharing what i personally use.
Will try and help with what ever i can.
************** For some Reason the boot logo does not show up, dont worry, wait for sometime, the ROM will boot up***********
Note:
1. Works with multirom.
2. Odexed for my personal use, if anyone wishes to de-odex it, do let me know.
3. This includes the stock kernel. I also tested the latest stable mkernel which is for 4.4.2 and works fine.(works with the new kitkat 4.4.4 too)
Screenshot attached

4.4.4:

Installation:

2. Do a factory reset.
3. Go to advanced wipe settings and select system, dalvik and cache and format them.
4. Flash Rom

Update your bootloader and radio first. And clean flash is recommended though there are not much of changes from 4.4.2 but as you mentioned you are using 4.4 clean wipe and installing is preferred.

Haven't tried that. Unfortunately i have a pure data plan, so my provider restricts sms by default. And i cant take out the sim and replace as i was once trying to break open my sim slot and take out the sim, during that crazy struggle i guess i broke that sim holder. so once the sim comes out, i have to struggle a lot to get the network back on by replacing it
Edit: dont think hangouts will give the sms sending option by any chance. So try with a third party app and let us know
Thanks for the stock rooted rom. FYI, I had flashed CF SuperSU v1.99r4 and also MKernel a67, looks okay so far. I'm updating the Google apps from Play store now. Once done, I'll be installing TB to restore my apps.
One word of caution to those flashing this rom. Note that there seems to be no bootanimation, so don't be mistaken that the rom is not working. Give it time to boot up. :good:
Edit:
One thing I noticed strange is in TB, System ROM is showing 670MB (8.45 MB free). Before this, I was on 4.4.2 stock rooted, before I manually flashed boot.img and system.img. It was showing same results, but 9.XX MB free. Is this correct? I vaguely remembered that it should be almost 900 plus MB. Can anyone confirm?

To flash them you need to enable USB debugging and then reboot to bootloader. Here use the following fastboot commands.
For Updating bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader name_of_the_bootloader_file.img
For radio:
fastboot flash radio name_of_the_radio_file.img
If you want a detailed instruction, go here and follow Method 2.

It is the same file as the one google pushes for Nexus 7 device. So what ever is present in the original stock image, will be there.
Menu button is only active in apps that give it by default, there is an xposed module which can activate menu button in every app.
For ART, not sure why google misses the option to switch to ART every time on Nexus 7 devices. Will check and see how to add that option.

It is dalvik. Google does not seem to want including ART for the nexus 7. Read somewhere on google forums that it might be a hardware issue cos of which they are not including it.

Hello all.
I've got a HTC one S 1.5Ghz dual core phone. I've successfully rooted my phone and tried to install CM on it with the latest gapps too. Here are my results:
CM 10 :- Sticks on the loading / boot screen (left over an hour, nothing)
CM 11 :- Doesn't even get to the boot screen
Viper S :- Works
I've got hBoot 2.15 too. Now, I'm not too sure what kernel people are using to get CM to work on this device. If somebody could please post what CM they are running and kernel, that would be great! I will install the same versions and reply back. I really want to get CM on this device, as I was to learn more about Android (I'm a Java developer, junior mobile developer atm). Your help will be most appreciated.

If you are S-ON you must flash the boot.img you can find in your CMXX.zip with the fastboot command fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm not sure why this critical information is always overlooked but is important.

That a problem witth HTC security. On other devices there is no need to flash the boot.img
If you come in France I'll accpet your drink ^^
Do you have a US996, and want to be able to start modding/theming the ROM? FINE! HERE! Lol...
Please know, this is 100% stock, including kernel. Also, I do not own a US996 (but I do own the H918). This ROM has already been tested (thanks @monsieurtalbot !)
No changes on the ROM. SuperSU gets flashed alongside the ROM. Oh, and setenforce=0 is set via init.qcom.post-boot
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build. . You have been warned.
This is for the Factory Unlocked US Cellular. Untested on the other US996.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG. The only difference from this, and what came on your phone is, that it is not ODEXd anywhere. DeODEXing basically bundles all parts of an APK together which saves space, allows for modification of the APK (like for System UI and stuff), and ever so slightly increases performance (by the littlest amount possible). This is ONLY for the US996.
Also, no need to wipe, as /system is fully removed (your apps and settings will stay since that is in /data). Since we only have 1 base from LG, ROMs don't need to be wiped, even if coming from ODEX.
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
SUPER happy to say I am using this currently and it is flawless. Fantastic base for our custom unlocked US996 community.
No more systemless root. This is a full root and I was finally able to delete the stupid boot sounds.
Thx for letting me be the test dummy.
Just so everyone knows I dirty flashed in TWRP from stock and I have had 0 issues. I am a heavy power user.
Everything is working as it should be.
Since it's not specified in the OP - let me make sure that everyone understands that this is for the USA Factory Unlocked US996 ONLY.
Super excited for some custom roms. =)

Moving this conversation over from the H918 thread...
I would love to see the FM working on our US996 . . .
BUT - I've had no luck flashing the available zips so far that are for the H918.
FM Service crashes - I figure the chip is there - just needs to likely be enabled on the kernel end.
SO - if you are truly looking into making us a kernel, let's put that on a likely very long todo list. lmao <3

I mean, they would have to be to have TWRP
And it does say US996 in title, as well as in OP

There's another US996 for US Cellular - as we all know - so as things get released possibly for that model (which holds the same model number for whatever reason) and this thread ages - it might not be a terrible idea to exclusively specify so some poor soul down the road doesn't flash this to the wrong device... :highfive:

Shouldn't be too hard to enable in the kernel. And if it isn't in the source, it could added i guess

Any chance you could post the md5 sum for the ROM to check that we got a good download? I want to ensure a good file before flashing a new system.

It would have to be later tonight, getting ready for work now. You can just double click the zip on your pc. If it opens without an error, you are good to go.
Would you happen to have a stock ODEXed rom for US996 to post as you did for the H918?
Also, are you planning to build anything off the US996 stock deODEXed rom or is it for safety net purposes?
I was thinking about diving into the v20 world to do some dev work, though am I reading this right? Each ROM has to be based off of the system.img for each model number? That makes it hard to decide which device model to buy

I honestly am not sure, but I did this just to be safe. As it turns out, FM is not included in the US996 ROM or kernel. I don't know of any other discrepancies, but that was enough for me.
IMO the H918 is the way to go, and just Unlock it from Tmobile. But that's just my opinion.

I suppose I could upload a stock ODEXd, but, I don't see the point. :cyclops:
You're right, no point. It's early in the game, hopefully there will be a .tot or .kdz (lg equivalent of ruu) for the eventual 7.1 update.
Thanks for your efforts to date.
Can this ROM be flashed on a sprint 997 that was unlocked and rooted using the dirty Santa method?
The reason I'm asking is because that process seems to change my phone to an unlocked 996 and I want to start fresh with a stock ROM.
Well this is weird. I went to install this and TWRP is telling me I have the wrong device. It is telling me i have a 918 when I know for a fact its a 996....

It detects your model from build.prop I believe.
Can you change your model in your build.prop and retry?
Would anyone be willing on trying out a custom kernel? FM might be working. Plus other things and stuff .
I don't have a US996, so I can't test it. So be sure to have a stock boot.img and your stock /system/lib/modules folder. If this fails, you can simply flash your stock boot.img right within twrp, and then push the modules folder into /system/lib/modules. Or you can reflash the ROM.
i was able to dirty flash this straight onto my stock VS995 with the konverge kernel flashed as well and the only problem i have is the static boot but that's easily fixed

What is static boot?
Anyone willing to test the custom kernel, be sure to read what I wrote in the post above. You can find it here

basically until the phone actually boots into the os it looks like a messed up tv showing only static colors and you cant see anything, what you do is you wait until it boots into the os and shut the screen off then hold your finger over the front camera and it fixes it and everything is normal.

Any chance you could do it, If it's not too much trouble? I'd like to install it on my F800L, if I can, and I seem to be having issues with the current deodex'd version.
If I'm honest, I have no idea if it will make any difference whatsoever, and the issue could be something completely unrelated (ihavenoideawhatimdoing), but I'd just like to try it, anyway. I got an odex'd H918 working, so It has me wondering if it makes any difference?
