Help Needed on Installing CM 14.1 - HTC One A9

My device is currently in a rebooting loop, and every time I try and Install the latest nightly for my HTC One A9 (GSM - US) I get the error(s):
Found blacklisted SBL1 Version, update your firmware
assert failed: hiae.verify_sbl1(" 0.0.020.1.50") == "1
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
I tried deleting some code in the META-INF/com/google/android/updater.script file that checked for "assert" and I got the CM ROM to install, but only to find out that my phone is in a constant reboot loop.
EXTRA: when I run "fastboot getvar all" I get the message:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_hiaeul
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) imei: ********

Have you tried listening to the error updating your firmware?
You are running 1.27 you need 1.57.X
You need to use sunshine and s-off then use the thread to convert to HTC one a9 USA unlocked. Use firmware package 1.57.x

You are running firmware 1.27* and 1.5* is required.
Go the A9 RUU thread in this forum, find the 1.5* RUU that corresponds to your device, download it, put it in the SD card, reboot the A9 in download mode and update the firmware. Then you can flash CM.
If there is no 1.5* for your device, then S-off will be necessary to change it.

Yes, but in the original post, the model was att (no 1.5.x yet) S-off is required ?

Thanks for the reply, I will look into that.
If I get S-off, then what RUU will I download then?
Edit: Nvm, I read The Scam's reply and that answered my question.

Do you think a version of CM will ever be available for my firmware version S-on?

Only if ATT updates firmware to 1.5*, otherwise no. I didn't know if ATT had done it, apparently not.
( I have an unlocked, carrier-independent hiaeuhl, came with 1.10, I updated to 1.56, still S-on. )
CM can't support older firmware because hTC's latest kernel requires 1.5* firmware.
This is one of many problems of getting a carrier-locked device. Like the previous post says, if you get S-off, then you can modify the firmware as you wish, right now that is the only option you have to run CM 14.

I have an AT&T HTC One A9. Am I able to update to the 2.18.617.10 unlocked ROM if I follow the steps (sunshine and s-off), or do I need to track down 1.57.x? I'm on 1.27.502.5 now.

I did use sunshine to do the s-off then set the cid to the unlocked cid of BS_US001. I didn't change the mid as it was already 2PQ912000
I did not have any luck updating direct to 2.x, so I ended up installing an older version of 1.x (2PQ9IMG_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.12.617.6_signed.zip) and then went through hours of updates (maybe a dozen) via the normal device update process until my device was finally updated to the latest os. I found out that the htc software just kept crashing on my win 10 pc, and on my win 7 pc it still had trouble. I installed the rom update by placing it in the root dir of my sd card and renaming it to 2PQ9IMG.zip, then booting into download mode. Initially, I couldn't update directly to 2.x using this same method either. It was failing with a 12 ru_zip error.
The AT&T latest os had problems dropping wifi for me so it made it unusable for pandora or any streaming service. Now the phone works fine and I've found no other issues yet. I was initially planning to install lineage os but I'll just keep on the stock htc software for now since android 7.0 is working good on there. Why would AT&T not continue with the updates HTC makes available? The phone is worthless with the AT&T version of software. I'm surprised to see a decent resale value on AT&T HTC One A9. I was hoping to find them for $20 so I could get another one but I don't want to pay $100.

I don't have this device anymore, so pardon me if I am confused, but when I had the ATT version, I don't see any reason to downgrade the firmware to 1.27?? If your looking to install stock and get updates, most users have had success by flashing 1.57 firmware, then 1.57 rom. The signing key in 1.57 is different than 1.27, so you have to extract 1.57 firmware from the 1.57 ruu and flash it, or update to 1.57 using a 1.27 ota.

My phone had 1.27 and I tried to install the 1.57 ruu without success. Maybe there is a way to get it to work by installing 1.57 firmware first then the 1.57 ruu but I'm new at this so I went with what I thought should work. For the unlocked version I could not find a 1.27 ruu, so I went with 1.12. Then I went through about a dozen ota updates to get to the latest release.

Ok yes, so what you need to do is install the unlocked version 1.27 without rooting it, then ota to 1.57 nougat. You could flash 1.57 firmware first, although I don't remember how to extract it properly. If you want to try, here's a quote from the ruu thread that might be helpful. I believe you can flash the firmware using "fastboot oem flash firmware "blah blah.zip/img I forget"

If you can use adb/fastboot you can use the decrypt tool, its not harder.

Now Lineage OS support hotspot so don't need to try the old roms with old firmware 1.x or 1.5x, install the latest firmware and update to Lineage OS

Can't flash JB roms on HTC One S C2

First of, a bunch of thanks to you for helping me get from a complete and utter noob to a just complete noob. Managed to root, install roms and get out of a LOT of soft bricks (i just don't give up!) with your awesome help, all by searching older posts. However, this time i find myself in a pickle.
I own an HTC One S C2 with Hboot 2.0.9, had stock ICS when i bought it with no option to update to JB (which is why i rooted it in the first place). Something about this particular version of the phone not being updated by HTC global, which i found out about after i bought it, duh. Anyway. I've tried installing JB roms from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239265 with no luck. Phone just keeps getting into HTC logo screen loops. Right now i am on backtobasics v3 rom. Here's how i tried installing them JB roms and also the rom i am using right now (using TWRP 2.4.1 because newest version wouldn't work with backtobasics rom):
(note: some roms had sliiiightly different directions, i just followed each and every one's description closely)
1) Download Rom.zip
2) Extract boot.img from Rom.zip to fastboot folder
3) Enter Recovery
4) Mount SD card
5) Copy Rom.zip to SD card
6) Unmount
7) Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset
8) Install Rom.zip
9) Reboot Bootloader
10) Go to fastboot USB mode
11) dem commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot
12) BOOM! HTC LOGO LOOPS!
I've also tried installing a RUU but i couldn't find any for my CID. Then i thought about getting a SuperCID but, frankly, i scrached that thought the minute i saw the how to do it thread. Here's the phone info

Mkay, since i got no answer i went back to searching again! Unfortunately, i still have no asolution to my problem
From what i understand i have to: find a RUU to get from android version 4.0.3 up to JB version. Then i will be able to flash JB roms. But there is no RUU for CID BSTAR301.
I did find a thread with nandroid backup for a BSTAR301 which updates the version without a RUU but it was for HTC One X, i guess i shouldn't use that at all.
I am thinking about doing a SuperCID to install a RUU, then get back to my actual CID and flash a custom JB rom..
Would appreciate any advice

Yes, in your case S-OFF, Changing CID to something which has a JB RUU would do the trick. I think SuperCID is not necessary.

Not yet.. So exhausted. I tried the moonshine method but, just like trhe instructions state, i should have JB and be on stock for it to work properly, which is not possible since my phone has a BSTAR301 CID and is stuck on 4.0.3 with no stock roms available.
From what i've read, my only hope of S-OFF is to wait for the fellas working on Revolutionary method for S-OFF to release the correct version for this phone. I just hope it's soon and I thank them for their efforts, i'm so disappointed at this phone

I did S-OFF already. Now i need to know what CID put in my phone?? and which RUU install on it??
My MID is: PJ4021000
so i don't know if the Europe RUU's work in my phone. Maybe the radio have problem or no?? because the RUU say MID version: PJ4020000. Someone knows about this??
I have heard that JB update for BSTAR is now available.

[Q] HTC One X (Evita) 3.18 RUU for S-ON

I have had this great phone for around 3-4 months now. In the second week of owning it, I already unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. It is not S-OFF, because I'm under the impression that you need to buy extra hardware.
What I want to know is if there is any way that I can flash 3.18 RUU on my AT&T branded (but I use T-Mobile) evita? If there is, can you provide me with a link?
Again, I'm already rooted and I'm bootloader unlocked. Thanks
You don't need to buy any hardware or modify your phone physically to gain s-off, all you need to do is follow the instructions on this thread.
If you have SuperCID (which you most likely do) and try to RUU while you're s-on you'll brick your phone. So my advice is to go to the s-off thread I linked to before, and follow the instructions.
Once you've done that you can run the 3.18 RUU.
Sent from my Evita
Thanks, mate. I appreciate the fast answer. Naturally, I hate being left behind; and seeing that most of the new ROMs require S-Off for the 3.4 kernel, I decided it was time to upgrade. I'll give it a try, as I'm currently trying to flash a ROM because I mistakenly flashed one of ^. Now, it's stuck on the the HTC splash screen, and I guess it's just the first boot scenario. However, it has taken a curious amount of time.
Yeah it's pretty much gonna be essential from now on anyway so you might as well get it outta the way.
What ROM did you try to flash? Also, what firmware/hboot are you currently on?
Sent from my Evita
I tried flashing CarbonROM. It gave me that (Status 7) error so I figured it was the 3.4 kernel giving me problems. After that, I tried flashing a previous version of CarbonROM, and it'd just stay stuck in the splashscreen (This is the ROM that I was discussing in my previous post). Now I tried to flash RageXL, and it's bootlooping. So I'm figuring that I should just go to a stock ROM and get this procedure done, and THEN flash a custom ROM. #BadLuckw3r3w0lv33
Ok. Yep it's the fact that you haven't yet upgraded via the RUU that these ROMs won't boot. Try flashing something like MagioRom or ViperXL just to get the s-off procedure done.
Sent from my Evita
Hmph. I'm pretty sure I've downloaded the latest Google and HTC USB drivers. Still, when I enter "adb reboot bootloader", this pops up:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device offline
I have enabled USB debugging on my HOXL. Perhaps, it's the HTC Sync Manager? I have no clue beyond that point. I even tried restarting my phone AND computer.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just manually rebooted to the bootloader and continued from there. I am now S-Off

If you are already s-off, just install custom recovery, then flash a rooted ROM or SU to get root.

Currently running ViperXL Android 4.2.2, stock kernel. Had to upgrade to HBOOT 2.15 to get rid of the random reboots and signal drop.
Before I upgraded HBOOT from 2.14 to 2.15 I was pretty sure I was on 3.17. I'm not even sure how to check this again? Would the upgrade to hboot 2.15 put me on 3.18? Sorry for the n0ob questions, help would be appreciated.
Current aosp ROMs no longer require you to down the ts firmware, they haven't since about June. You're a bit confused about the terminology, you didn't just upgrade to the 2.15 hboot, you upgraded to the 2.15 firmware, so you're currently on the 2.15 firmware. The hboot is only one component of the firmware as a whole.
Long story short, yes you can flash non-sense ROMs.

You don't need to buy any hardware or modify your phone physically to gain s-off, all you need to do is follow the instructions on this thread.
If you have SuperCID (which you most likely do) and try to RUU while you're s-on you'll brick your phone. So my advice is to go to the s-off thread I linked to before, and follow the instructions.
Once you've done that you can run the 3.18 RUU.

can i run this RUU if i'm on CM10.2 ? and it says it will delete ALL from my phone, do i need to flash a rom and gapps right after i did that or will it still boot on CM10.2 ?
The RUU returns your phone to a stock configuration (ROM/recovery). You need to flash TWRP recovery again afterwards and then your ROM.

You need the old firmware like you had before you updated to Maximus.
Run a RUU.exe and clear storage/factory reset in bootloader when you have the stock recovery back on.
From your other thread I posted more details

I've never changed my CID, no need to. So I'm not an expert.
But from what I have read here:
"You can use any ruu while s-OFF, just simply plug phone to computer and run ruu. No need to relock bootloader.
For the supercid, it is recommended to change it back to original with fastboot command.
Fastboot oem write cid xxxxxxxx.
There has been a few bricks takin Jb ota while still supercid. "
So, not a problem, unless you install a OTA (over the air) update while SuperCid.
Here's a good guide from another forum
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html
Glancing at that, I noticed it recommends running the RUU on the PC as administrator, maybe it's something simple like that.

When trying the RUU did you go to bootloader (fastboot USB)?
To Unlock
Locate your Unlock_code.bin on your pc, probably saved it somewhere or it is still in your fastboot folder.
Type this into your command prompt window fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
or go through the process of getting a new one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

Glad you were able to get the RUU working. But right now you won't be able to flash many ROMs with that low of a Hboot. You will need to update the firmware.
Since you put your CID back, you would have to put back stock recovery and relock bootloader. Then you could go through settings and do the OTA to update to 2.15 hboot.
Or...this firmware update thread

There is a stock recovery here
http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
The SECOND download is the stock one
Unless you change the name of the recovery the command will probably look more like this:
fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img
And yes
fastboot oem lock
after you have flashed the stock recovery of course

Eh.. It is stable besides for some bootlooping. Like you start it up and it bootloops a few times before finally loading. I like the Avatar Rom which is CM 10.2 based, and noticed a little bootlooping. But it wasn't terrible, just something that happened a few times.
So if that doesn't bother you, go for it. Other than that you would need to stick with sense based roms for stability.
Gosh, so many to choose from you will have to try some out.

Ya, guess you are right, 10.1
You can flash any as long as they don't require hboot 2.16 (which they state in the first page OP)

ok thank you very much for the help!

rejects going to stock !

ok here's the thing..
i lost my backup for the stock rom which came with my HTC One XL,and i've been facing alot of issues with custom roms ,the major thing was the capacitive buttons stopped working without a reason !
now being S-ON,unable to go back to stock except with RUU's with the matching CID,,ok so i tried searching for the right RUU with matching CID which is J15 and the only one i found on androidRUU website didnt work for me as its a different hboot version (not sure if that's why it refused or not but thats what i understood from reading in the forums)
so i spent hours and hours trying to find the correct RUU with matching CID and hboot version but was invain,,
another option searching for NANDROID,,still didnt find any matching results
tried getting SuperCID to make it easier to find a matching RUU,,but i found in order to get SuperCID i need to be S-OFF,,and in order to get S-OFF i need to get SuperCID first...its a bit frustrating i know
also another weird thing that when i tried to relock the bootloader,it says "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))"
so any help on how to either :
1.Full stock restore either with a matching RUU or NANDROID
2.Getting a full stock rom with the latest firmware update so that hopefully the capacitive buttons work again..
would be really appreciated

Long story short, there is no RUU for your CID. But there is a thread in our General Section that contains stock backups for your device.
I'll also just clear up some confusion you seem to have about s-off and SuperCID. There are two s-off methods for the Evita, Facepalm and Rumrunner. Facepalm requires SuperCID to work, Rumrunner does not require SuperCID to work. If you don't have SuperCID and want it you can use the Rumrunner s-off method to get s-off and then change your CID using a fastboot command.
Either way, don't use any of the RUUs that match other CIDs, they'll most likely brick your phone. Just find the thread in General and you'll be able to download a nandroid backup.

thx for the help,,ok so currently i found the needed NANDROID,,made the restore and am back to stock android 4.1.1 with relocked bootloader and stock recovery flashed,,i tried searching for software updates and it says no updates found when my neighbor got the same device and he recieved an update for 4.2.2 ??
however am not quite sure if the stock recovery flashed successfully or not ,,in the fastboot it said that the flashing was successful but when i tried to access the recovery from the boot it just went blank screen ,,is that ok and am not supposed to enter the stock recovery but then why it doesnt make the update ? or there's something wrong with the recovery i got ?
You should be able to enter the stock recovery, I believe there's something wrong with the recovery you flashed.

Did you factory reset in hboot and corrupt the SD? Because a factory reset in recovery or in the OS should not wipe the SD (including nandroids).

Well I know it is the S-On as I saw even though I was doing all according to the instructions I could find. I had Unlock, SU CID, just could not get that S-OFF. I tried it manually, via the toolkits people have out there, using a 2.0 USB cable. But without the S-OFF I did not get the firmware installed so that was my source of headache with that I just had a bit of lag in the bootloader screen and i click one to many times past recovery and viola up the crick without a canoe lol
Once you have a ROM installed, forget the toolkits and get s-off manually, it's really easy. There are two methods you can try:
Facepalm S-off
Rumrunner S-off

So going the route of Palm as I can not get adb to connect but I can fastboot USB, The first attempt ends with FAILED remote:92 supercid! please flush image again immediately. The second attempt ends in FAILED remote:99 unknow fail
You're gonna need to get adb working, both methods require it. I'm in a good mood so I'm gonna give you the solution to the error 99 problem, but please in future search properly before posting, the solution to that problem has been posted dozens of times in the Facepalm thread.
When you get error 99 after flashing the zip, you need to force a reboot to the bootloader and start the process again and you should get error 92 again.
Why isn't adb working? What ROM are you on? Have you updated your drivers? Do you have usb debugging turned on in Developer Options?

Problem with Custom Roms

Hi there i tested these ROMS on mine HTC One S Ville S4 (International).
Here the Results:
Maximus 10.0.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445392
I´ve followed all steps but no luck, the phone reach splash screen and all i get is all 3 lights on the bottom and a green on the top illuminated.

you need a specific hboot to try the rom. i think is 2.15 and you have 1.13.. so..... i think that is the problem.
first of all you'd update all that is possible to lates ver. (hboot, recovery), may be you should try hboot 2.16 and roms for it...

You will need to update HBOOT to version 2.15 or 2.16 depending on which rom you want to install. HTC__304 is Europe/Spain so the Europe RUU should be fine for you. Its pretty easy:
Download FIRMWARE HBOOT 2.15
Extract the included recovery and flash it using fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Relock your bootloader (in case it's actually locked)
fastboot oem lock
Then flash the firmware215.zip:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip (First time you probably get an error, so just retype the command!!!)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (to get back into bootloader mode)

He's S-On, are you sure it'll work like this? Flashing firmware is not possible unless you're S-Off. He should first try to achieve S-Off via rumrunner or other method (since he's already using Viper or a close-to-stock ROM). Then he might try flashing 2.15/2.16 firmware

I'm sure. Flashing "SIGNED" zips will totally work with S-ON.

I will give it a try , hope I don't get a brick
But I have two questions:
1What you mean "locked" I have my boot loader unlocked!
When I finish the flash process I can unlock again?

You can unlock it at any time, but you will have to lock it before upgrade the firmware.

I'm glad you finally made it. HBOOT 2.16 works with S-OFF only, thats why I uploaded 2.15. As @Rapier mentioned earlier, you can use rumrunner.us for easily getting S-OFF
Mind you that hboot 2.16 gives you shared internal storage. E.g. all free space is available to all partitions. This may come tot be necessary for you if flashing lollipop roms since the "foot print" of installed aps on lollipop becomes much larger. This has to do with runtime environment... Kitkat runs with Dalvik Cache whereas Lollipop runs with the Android Runtime aka ART.
So, staying on hboot 2.15 give you the old partition layout with approx. 1 GByte(??) free for apps and 7 as internal SD.
While hboot 2.16 serves all your free internal storage to all partitions. This saves you headache of internal space for apps running out.
(Someone may deel to fill in the technical gaps i left in)
Cheers , happy hboot 2.16 user.
