Removing Demo Content

Hi guys, I downloaded firmware from the following location - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545
I wanted to try and flash the software back to stock and get rid of the annoying demo video that pops up every few seconds. When I follow the fastboot commands I get the following issue
C:\adb>fastboot flash zip update.zip
target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

Can anyone assist? (I renamed the downloaded file)

i also got a demo unit you have to copy the 0PJAIMG.ZIP to the SDCARD and then load up the bootloader then flashing starts fastboot didnt work for me
the problem is after flashing i got the retail software but still the ****ing Demo auto showcase -.-
Edit:
seems like the only variant is to unlock the bootloader and then remove the demo.apk

Check if Demo is a device administrator in Settings > Security.

When I try and do this, Windows throws an error at me about the device being disconnected or not responding. It does this on more than one phone when trying to move the file to the SD card, I can move other files to the SD card it's just this one?

Insert the SD card into another device or copy using AirDroid.

or use adb like i did =) but the demo.apk is not removed -,- after full sdcard flash and factory reset

crap, my demo unit is for a week around here and I admire it almost only later that day when im back at home ill try to delete the f***** retail software.

problem is after flashing the ruu the demo.apk is still on the device and cant be removed or deleted.so we have to unlock bootloader flash twrp (if there is a version with system write) and then flash a stock rooted rom so we have to have patient

Damn.. I hope we can unlook them fast

you can already unlock at HTC Dev site but we dont have a working TWRP Recovery so we cant flash anything or remove anything because of system write protection.By the way the device you got is a retail demo right ? i also got one in my shop to play with xD

okay.. THANX :highfive: via "all other supported devices" right? ill try..
yes, ists a retail phone.. but with modem and full working. and to my luck we had a few more

So I took a retail demo HTC One M8 too and after unlocking and rooting I deleted the contents of the demo folder in etc. I then flashed a custom rom, booted successfully and boom demo content was gone. So I tried to revert to stock using the Lollipop RUU exe floating around and on first boot the demo app re-installed itself. Basing of this, I can imagine the M9 would work the same. It would seem removing demo content is impossible.

got it.. bootloader unlocked, rooted with superSU via twrp and deleted demo.apk, com.htc.demoflo and another process started by com.htc.demoflo. after rebooting all aps are gone :highfive: thank you so much for helping me :good::victory:

Please could you detail exactly which processes and folders so I can replicate this on mine?

I have replied to your question in the m8 threads Jay, I have m8 & M9 retail demo units ?

While I couldn't use TB, I was able to use "pm disable" to take out a load of bits.

Copy and paste job......
Hi Jay
I get demo devices through my employer, every single HTC ROM out there inclues demoflow, the device it's self is essentialy a generic unit with an alternate CID, the demo installation and launch is triggered by CID HTC_002, the most effective way to get rid of demoflo and make the device 100% generic, is to S-Off and supercid! (11111111)
Once you are supercid you can flash any ruu and you will still have a 100% generic device, OTA updates and all... Demo won't even install.
The alternative method would be to simply remove /system/etc/.demoflo and /system/priv-app/DemoFlowInstaller
This will break ota and carrying the 002 cid will bring demoflo back when you flash any HTC ruu.
My M9 came as a demo unit, I modified the supersu installer to do the work for me as S-off isn't yet available... Htc dev unlock - twrp & flash the modified supersu zip.. once again breaking ota but I have an ruu on standby..
Feel free to shout if you need assistance.
Thanks
Lee

Also an option but less permanent, I had considered adding pm commands to usf_post_boot.sh but it would still kill ota's

tbh, if I mod the system I won't even dare try an OTA and I am going to mod /system/ just because they change the way an OTA works I am not going to suddenly get worried.
If an when I have to flash an OTA I will back my **** up and RUU my way up to it.

Indeedie mate, but seriously looking forward to s-off & supercid, drives me insane flashing and fighting with demo stuff..
Any thoughts on the screen? The color doesn't look as vibrant as my m8, wondering if it's the M9s config or if its down to them being demo units...

[Q] [Solved] unrooting?

I've read around on the forums here and other places but some of it doesn't make any sense to me and I watched a YouTube video about unlocking the bootloader then rooting the phone unfortunately i didn't do a nandroid back up before rooting (using supersu) and i am wondering if it is possible to flash to a stock rom so that in the future i can ota update in the future.
here is what i have at the moment
international phone (im on o2 in the uk anyway)
android version: 5.0.2
Software number: 1.32.401.15
unlocked bootloader
rooted
s-off
SuperCID
Also if someone can guide me through this i would be extremely thankful.
Thanks for your help guys.

You would need to either get a nandroid of your particular carriers ROM, or download the correct RUU from HTC.

I have no idea, since you haven't told us what version your phone is. I think you ought to wait for feedback from someone else who can advise you better.

it's also easy to rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.

ok managed to flash it back successfully couple of things though:
i couldnt copy the file when it was named 0JAIMPG.ZIP to the sd card (was in the phone not sure if i had to take it out and put it on)
it still says "software status modified" "unlocked" "s-off" afaik you can't get software status back to normal, to get unlocked back to locked would mean me relocking the bootloader and s-off shouldnt matter with ota update?
if i was to now re-install twrp but before rooting i took a nandroid backup would this allow me to get ota updates if i then restore to that after rooting or would one of the things above prevent me?
if not is there anyway i can get ota updates again?

If you used the htc_fastboot to flash it will not reset the modified tag
you have to do it yourself >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-restore-software-status-original-t3092882
To set unlocked to locked you have to do this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-lock-unlock-bootloader-htcdevs-t3092036
and yes, you can get OTA update with unlocked and s-off

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out and providing links I am very grateful

Just leave it as htc_fastboot. They can coexist.
Dude, what's it tell you after you get the error 90? Flash again immediately, right? EVERYONE gets error 90 when flashing firmware. It's a pre-check before actually doing anything. If you're phone reboots to OS after getting 90, then just leave your command/terminal window open and put your phone back in download mode and re-run the exact same command to start the flash again.

I'm sorry to tell you but if you updated to 5.1 and did not go into developer options and check to allow bootloader unlock, and then locked your bootloader theirs is nothing you can do but flash a RUU. Are you s-off ? If no your most likely stuck.

Also my M9 is HTC Asia (Hongkong). So I have tried flashing below one. Can I try flashing TW version given by you??

With S-ON it's not possible to downgrade or to flash RUUs that were made for other SKUs (Taiwan is 709 and Hongkong is 708). Since you can't use the RUU in my AFH folder because it's older than your actual firmware and there is no other RUU for the SKU 708 (or at least none I know) than that one you linked your only hope might be the RUU service on llabtoofer's website.
Edit @clsA: That file amit_coolcampus mentioned earlier is one of the OTAs for the Hongkong version of the M9.

Honestly, I don't know. I've always been able to recover my phones without the help of the HTC service center or the RUU service. My guess is that the RUU service might be cheaper but that's only a guess. Maybe someone else here had to use one or both of these services and can share his/her experience...

[Q] Can't flash RUU firmware htc one m9

Hey guys, so I tried to flash RUU Firmware on my htc one m9. I downloaded the firmware, minimal adb flashboot, and htc sync manager. Problem is when I open command prompt via minimal adb flashboot and I type 'adb reboot downloader' it says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Am I missing something here? What should I do?

any chance you run a virtual android, genymotion or something of the like? And I would like to think aside from the drivers for HTC, the sync manager is best tucked safely away in the garbage

if you boot to bootloader, should be up top there. from a booted phone just 'adb reboot bootloader' if it says s-on thats your problem. My guess is since you do not know your s-on/off you are probably s-on.

No it says:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** Unlocked ***
*** S-ON ***

so this is your problem, S-ON is the last piece of security for you. Without S-OFF you are unable to flash RUU the way your are attempting.
There is an app, Sunshine. Cost 25$ I am pretty sure and that will get you s-off. or you can wait until your carrier pushes the OTA and do a "Back To Stock" method. Well the app is free, it runs a check and makes sure it can get s-off. then it wants money.

Okay hold on, I remember when I rooted my phone it was S-Off. So to get it back to original factory version I need to S-on it?

No not at all, S-OFF makes it easier to get back to stock. If you were S-OFF at some point I am not too sure why the bootloader is reporting S-ON now. I am cheap and I revert to stock to get my OTAs to get the latest roms.. this is a huge pain. S-OFF is ideal once you have it you should keep it.

@kamocheng: Since I don't have much time at the moment I'm keeping it short:
1. Your zip is corrupted (look at the output). Re-download it and compare the MD5 checksums.
2. If you're s-on you need to be relocked for running RUUs.
3. You never mentioned your firmware version nor your CID so no one can verify whether you use the correct RUU.
4. There is no free version of sunshine since its a free app with in-app purchasement. But there is no need to s-off if you use the correct RUU.

Make sure htc sync isn't running on your computer.

Hello there, thanks for replying my thread
1. I'm sorry I dont quiet understand, do you mean zip in my PC or zip in my phone?
2. My firmware version is 1.32.617.30, how do i check my CID?
Correct me if I'm wrong but there are 2 options for me to return to original stock? First, S-off my phone and flash RUU firmware? Second, relocked my phone then run original stock? Since I didnt backup my original stock, I need to find untouched one?
Sorry this is my first android phone so if I'm total noob, I'm so sorry

What if i unrooted then relocked my phone, will i be able to take OTA then?

I'm talking about the zip you tried to flash in post 3. If you are using firefox as a browser I would recommend using an addon like DownThemAll! to verifiy the md5 checksum after the download has finished. Files can get corrupted during a download.
No, its one and the same way. You run the RUU either way. The only difference is that you can flash any firmware version with s-off and you don't need to relock while the versions you can flash with s-on have to match your current version (that means same version or newer) and your CID. Firmware versions with x.xx.617.xx are the developers editions if I'm not mistaking. (As far as I know AndroidRUU doesn't have any corresponding files. So I assume you downloaded it from clsA's personal collection of developer edition files since google didn't find any other sources for these files.) As said before redownload the file and compare the downloaded file's checksum with the one mentioned next to the download link (428582cef691c2e37053a0e19e9d738e). If they match the file should be flashable.
I prefer flashing RUUs using the sd-card method instead of fastboot so here are some instructions how I would continue:
Be sure to backup everything important like contacts, sms, etc. (I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for this step)
Get a SD-card that is not bigger than 32 gb and formatted to fat32 (I've always been using the formatting function of the m9 for this step).
Rename the RUU to "0PJAIMG.zip".
Copy that file into the root direction of your SD-card.
Relock your bootloader.
Put the card back into your phone.
Be sure that your phone is charged enough (more than 50 %).
Boot into download mode.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Wait some minutes.
Done.

So by doing that way, I dont have to S-off my phone to have it return to original stock?

Correct.
Edit: I just saw that you asked more or less the same question twice. jollywhitefoot's solution works the same way as the one I described. The only difference is that you are using fastboot instead of a sd-card.

So my method in your other thread didn't work? Where are you running into problems?

All stock zips corrupt? What am I missing here?

I'm trying to restore stock android on a HTC One M9. I'm an experienced developer but new to the Android scene. So I think there's something obvious I must be missing here.
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I managed to install lineage OS just fine but I need to go back to stock android. I have the correct zip that I'm trying to recover to using TWRP.
The problem is that booting to recovery and trying to install from a USB OTG gives me:
Code:
Installing zip file '/usb_otg/0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_Vodafone_UK_3.35.161.12_Radio_01.01_U11440792_96.00.51201G_F_release_464298_signed.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
"Zip file is corrupt!"
Error installing zip file '/usb_otg/0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_Vodafone_UK_3.35.161.12_Radio_01.01_U11440792_96.00.51201G_F_release_464298_signed.zip'
Updateing partition details...
...done
Now it gets weird.
I checked the MD5sum, it's fine, the file is perfect. I tried to unzip it with 7-zip:
Code:
---------------------------
7-Zip
Can not open file 'C:\Users\dave\Downloads\0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_Vodafone_UK_3.35.161.12_Radio_01.01_U11440792_96.00.51201G_F_release_464298_signed.zip' as archive
So I thought that maybe the file was just corrupt on the filehost. So I downloaded two other different files. Guess what? They're "corrupt" too, even though their MD5 hashes match too.
What's going on here? How is every HTC One M9 zip corrupt somehow?
Or am I just not getting something?
I'm dual booting Win10 and Ubuntu, both with adb etc. installed, so I can try any other methods you can suggest.
I'd really appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Thanks.

I'm not sure about this, this is only my opinion but if you've tried to down grade from lineage OS 14.1 (7.1.2) you can't flash a OTG of firmware version 3.x because it's android 6.0.
As I said, I might be wrong but I'm sure I've read here you can't downgrade that way.
I can go from LOS 14.1 to firmware version 4.x (7.0) as I've done it, and it does return to stock nougat.

Thanks for the reply. I'm upgrading from TWRP 3.1.1-0. I don't think it cares what version of OS is on the phone. I'm not doing an OTA.

I understand that, my point was I don't think you can downgrade from LOS 14.1 to firmware 3.x
I can return to stock from LOS 14.1 to firmware version 4.x but not to version 3.x, I have the same errors as you described.
I have been running LOS 15 (android 8.0) and successfully returned to firmware version 4.x also as LOS 15 is not 100% stable right now.
I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade due to encryption being different between 3.x and 4.x firmware

Please read the ReadMe thread. You can't flash RUUs via Recovery Mode and you aren't able to unzip them since they're encrypted.

Thanks Flippy, I've thoroughly read the ReadMe thread now. I didn't realise the zips were encrypted at first, thanks for that.
I tried the ARUWizard method which looked promising for a while, it froze at 44% and never resumed after a couple of hours of waiting. I tried it again and it made it to 55% but no more. I tried it several more times, with different USB ports and cables, running cmd as administrator. No luck.
So I tried using HTC_Fastboot:

I don't have an sdcard in the phone, I'm going to try to pick one up tomorrow so I can attempt that method. Otherwise do you have any other suggestions?
Appreciate it.

The RUU isn't compatible with your current CID. You have a Vodafone-branded phone and are trying to flash an European unbranded RUU. You need to change the phone's CID (which requires S-OFF) if you want to de-brand the phone.
If you want to keep the current firmware then you need to look for a RUU that matches your "version-main".

You definitely need an sdcard. Just rename the zip to match the mid, copy to the sdcard, put sdcard in the phone and boot the download mode. Follow the prompts. You'll be amazed how easy it is.
Ps you can use any micro sdcard. I used a 128gb sandisk and it worked fine.

hi!!! can you explain me the process please??

Need RUU for HTC 10

My phone is bricked,i know its old and people probably forgot about it but my issue is this.
I unlocked bootloader since i got it about 1 year ago and i was happy with rooted phone few custom app here and there,so i got bored with my phone (like all of us do :angel: ) so i decided to flash custom rom on it.
I flashed lineage os with TWRP and decided to revert to stock,so grab RUU and im set right? nope i was getting some errors here and there and read somewhere that i need to relock bootloader using command fastboot oem lock so i copied that command to my clipboard and my phone was in download mode with custom rom and custom recovery ready to be relocked,you probably know where this is going :silly:
So i decided wait a minute im certain that i need to revert to stock recovery and so on,i went online used keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C on adb reboot bootloader to reboot and enter recovery to backup and of course my damn C on keyboard didnt register so i pasted command fastboot oem lock on custom recovery and custom rom.
So phone is bricked it wont boot into rom or recovery but it is able to enter download mode and receive some command and i was like "DONT PANIC ALL IS WELL" and oh boy i was wrong.
I still have original unlock_code.bin and so i went to flash it to unlock phone and it tells me that i need to enable oem unlocking in settings and i cant get into rom phone just reboots after 2 seconds after powering on.
I was still like all is well yada yada and went to fing RUU and OMFG HTC 10 has bad support so my phone turns out to be:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_pmeuhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 1578400000

(bootloader) mid: 2PS620000
(bootloader) cid: VODAP110
Tried every single thing under the sun on google and nothing works,ruu exe is impossible to find,zip to flash boot and recovery give me security error.
Aparently there is site called firmware something something but i need to pay to get the file and all in all it seems to me like big scam so no avail but i was able to get file name and there it is:
2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UH[email protected]71204_84.09_F_release_520816_combined_signed_2_4.zip(file RUU)
But searching on google and everything else im unable to find it to try to flash it as RUU in download mode.
So if any expert out there can give me some advice on what to do i would greatly appreciate it.
Is there some way to force boot on relocked phone with custom rom on it just to enable "Enable OEM Unlock"
Phone is in great condition no scratches at all new battery put in it half year ago holds 2 days easy,records 50 seconds 4k with 3% battery left without turning off,all in all best HTC phone ive ever had it would be shame to throw it away or sell for parts.
Sorry for any typos im in a hurry dont have a phone and im working so i hope to see some answers soon.
Thanks in advance...

Ive also tried to mod ruu zip to my version but im getting security error,i have one zip with swisscon CH-DE ruu that has my version 3.18.166.2 but is unable to flash it because security error and why is there no oreo RUU available,ive read somewhere that htc pulled oreo ruu because of battery drain and since im S-ON i cant flash lower number RUU i need same or newer is that true?
Does enyone have some source where i can download firmware mentioned in previous post?
There is a site called EasyFirmware that apparently has that file and i need to pay some download package,big problem is im in third world sh++hole and proces to get card for online payments is not worth this phone which can be found for around 100$ in great condition.
It would be a shame to sell it for parts or throw it away its a very nice phone.
Thanks in advance and please experts on XDA tell me is it possible or not so i can search for another phone.
New poster to xda wanted to add something and i wrote it in reason for edit uuuups.
If anyone needs some details about phone fell free to ask i will gladly provide it if it can help in fixing this mess ive made.

Just searched online seems like EasyFirmware is a hoax anyway so no avail there even if i wanted to pay.

Thanks for the answer and there is a few firmware zip files there but i still need to pay even for one download,it gives me like free 3GB download but all files are featured and i cant download without some premium packages,its not those 3$ that i dont have its that i dont have credit card to pay for it.
There are multiple versions tho what do you think which one would i need
[a]2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UH[email protected]71204_84.09_F_release_520816_combined_signed.zip[a]---(with combined signed on the end or)

[a]2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UH[email protected]71204_84.09_F_release_519830_partial.zip[a]---(this one?)
Im afraid it wont flash,my system is 3.18.166.2 and can RUU put on zip with same version be flashed,will it give me error like when i try to downgrade?
How there is no RUU.exe for this phone for recovery in case of something like this,i always loved HTC for that if you mess up there is always RUU run flash and back to original state bit even for non carrier phones like unlocked there is no oreo RUU only nougat ones and since my phone is S-ON i cant dowgrade to nougat.
Is there some way to edit some files to force flash different carrier file or at least something.
It really seems dumb to me that BL unlock needs system toggle to unlock bootloader,unlocking it factory resets phone anyways so data wont be exposed in any case.
Is there some command or hack to toggle that or edit some file to unlock BL since i have original Unlock_code.bin but im unable to flash it.
Any help is appreciated and thanks so much for the answer.
Cheers

That's the one you need. There is no RUU.exe and you don't need that as a ruu.exe is usually harder to use as you need more windows pc settings in order too. The zip is 100 times easier, just by renaming it and booting to download mode it will flash automatically. No need for fastboot settings and such on your computer.
A firmware is also different than a RUU.
- RUU = Rom Update Utility (this contains the BL and system)
- Firmware = The bootloader only (basically the BIOS of the phone)
HTC usually doesn't "release" carrier branded ruu files and carriers themselves also don't because in general they don't support tampering with your device. When it's stock you have the option to factory reset it or use warranty. When you decide to mod your device it's out of free will so doing some homework in advance is a wise thing. And no you can't just mess around with other carrier's ruu files to use them on your device, the ruu files that are out are all encrypted. If it was that easy there would not be so many topics about going back to stock !
And another tip : NEVER RELOCK A BOOTLOADER UNLESS THE DEVICE IS 100% STOCK
(in capital so others might read it too !). It's false info that you need to relock it for anything ! RUU files flash just fine with a UNLOCKED BL !
1 more thing, you CAN downgrade without S-OFF but it is not easy when you are not completely familiar with fastboot and how to use it properly, and you keep the issue that you need your carrier branded firmwares and ruu files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/downgrade-problems-downgrading-htc-10-t3735658

Thanks so much on the answer its very interesting and helpful.
So you think that there is still some hope?
It was dumb of me to relock that but my damn clipboard had that command in it and as i explained i thought i copied command fastboot reboot-recovery and i pasted oem lock and hit enter like and idiot it was late 3am.
Also how is that custom rom does not have oem unlock option turned on by default,rom installed is lineage OS.
Im somewhat familiar with fastboot so if i do something in it plz tell me and i will check out this thread that you posted for sure.
I have RUU exe for nougat but not for oreo and zips i have a folder with like 20GB of RUU there tried everything but im not doing this all the time so advanced stuff like you just said downgrade without S-OFF im not familiar with.
Thanks so much and i will try to see what i can do and if i fail to do anything i will let you know.
If you have some advanced stuff and methods feel free to post if you have time ofc i will do my best,cant brick it harder anyway :silly:

No progress at all.
Seems like now my only hope is for someone that has paid account for personal use on that site and can download file and somehow upload it for me to download on sites that are not paid.
If not for that i will order new board and change it my self since its like 30$ and i think its worth it for this phone.
Thanks for all the answers,if there is some suggestion feel free to post i will be happy to try it.

I can see error like partition name in android info.txt so i will attach it in this post.
Is there something to edit inside to force it to flash,if you think that i can brick it with some risky procedure i dont care i will try anything,look at me as a alfa tester for some crazy way of unlocking i will try anything.

It says it’s the wrong file, if you share the link of the file from where you found it and the name of the file i can check, now I just have to judge blindly if it’s the correct file or not but looking at all the errors it’s definitely the wrong one because when you have the correct signed RUU it will flash without a flaw with the Sd card method.

Then it seems like i have a wrong RUU,in it says my model cid and everything but i think its some sort of modded and wont flash without S-OFF
So you think that firmware.gem is legit site?
I probably can find someone that has credit card and pay pal but plz if its fake dont let me chase down the rabbit hole if its fake.

Hence the question from where you got it from including the link so i could check !
I know for a fact the linked website is legit as i sent other users there too and never had any complaint about a non working RUU, and to be fair it’s probably the only option or toss it in the bin and get another phone

Oke i will try to do credit card thing today and i will let you know.
As for this zip file i tried to flash i found it online but now on closer look it is 260MB or so and it says firmware only and probably is not signed.
So i need signed zip that you highlighted few posts ago.
I will try that in couple of hours and let you know.
Thanks man for everything i would have thrown it away if it wasnt for you.
Never used forum to post only to read.
xda experts like you saved my bacon many times.
Waiting for my colleague to come to work he has a card and i will download that signed file that you recommended.

I downloaded file signed like you said and i must wait to get home to try it but its 2.2GB and just in case i extracted andtoid info txt file and it goes like this
modelid: 2PS620000
cidnum: VODAP110
mainver: 3.18.166.2
aareport:1
btype:1
which matches my phone CID and MID so fingers crossed.
Will post results,and if it goes well i will let you know.
Cheers
