[ROM][STOCK]Sprint One Stock Odex and Deodex 1.29.651.7 || Updated 4.24.13 ||

This is an old build! Please see the updated build (1.29.651.10) located here.
Here is an almost stock 1.29.651.7 ROM, both Odex and Deodex, based on my Sprint One system dump. I flashed both and everything appears to work fine. If anyone finds an issue, I will correct it and re-upload. You can flash this right after you flash TWRP (read below), as this has root and system rw protection already disabled (read here).​

not everyone did/does....they selected several people per carrier based on their elevate profiles
the point of elevate is to provide feedback and discussion to htc, not get free stuff

See. I kinda liked you guys releasing stuff quickly like this. Then I realized I don't have the phone yet. What a love/hate relationship.

I'm going to start deving when I get the one Friday. I may use the LTE as a test device to learn and when my skills are ready... Release roms for One. I hope some devs can teach me some things

Pretty excited to see you here Viper, always liked both your and mikey's roms on my various phones. Happy to see you come over!
So at this point is there any value in waiting for root/s-off without dev unlock or should we just take the plunge when our phones get here Friday? I had S-off on my 4GLTE but read there were issues for those that had to S-on/dev unlock. Just don't want to be in that position although I don't know much about what they had to deal with specifically.
Thanks again for creating roms!

Also, can you test to see if wireless tether is working now that you have root access? I have a tradeshow I will be traveling to next week and would really love to not have to pay for internet in my hotel and on the tradeshow floor.
Thanks!

Anything you know that isn't stock on this?

It's always nice to have S-OFF, but right now, it doesn't seem like it's going to be a big deal. I worked around the goofyness of recovery not being able to write the boot.img, I do it a different way and know it works for sure so there should be no issues when flashing ROMs.
As far as wifi tether, I just fired it up. Grabbed the latest from the Play Store, and changed 3 settings to make it work.
Settings > Change Device Profile > Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Check MSS Clamping
Check Routing fix
I also enable access control so I can see who is connecting, but I successfully got my computer to get online by using this.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but I think I quite clearly explained how this was different from "out of the box" in the first post.
The only other thing that would be different is that it's missing some apps that were in /data/app. HTC thought it would be a good idea to put these apps there (for whatever reason) but when you dev unlock, it wipes data and those apps. This was a problem on the International One as well. I will try to get that fixed here too, but I don't remember the apps being anything too important.

Sorry for the super newb question but would it be possible for someone to write up a basic guide on how to get this working (rooting then installing one of these stock ROMs from this thread)? I am use to having a device with a microSD card slot so not quite sure how to flash zips especially after doing a superwipe. From what I gather, the steps go something like this:
1. HTC dev unlock
2. Use the Toolkit to flash TWRP
3. Use the Toolkit to "Perm Root." Does this just push SuperSU.zip to the device then do I need to actually go in and run it from recovery? Or will it do that automatically?
4. Do a superwipe. Do I just copy the superwipe file to the device then run it from recovery? I assume this file completely wipes the device so not even the OS is present?
5. Install the deodex or odex ROM from this thread but how do I do that without a microSD card slot?
Again, sorry about all the basic questions but if someone wouldn't mind coming up with a detailed step by step guide for the newbs, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

try the restore to stock for canadian users in my signature. Post back if any issues. Are you planning to return for warranty or just to get signal
Things dont happen on their own. So either you did something or the phone is toast.

Well yeah just to get signal back. After I installed viper rom is when i started to get this probelm. Ive had the viper rom for awhile and if my phone died or i had to restart it would loose signal so basically i would have to restart the phone again to get it back but now for like the past 5 days it seems to have lost it for good

lol well a little to late now i didecided to go back to stock and i was following this one video on youtube how to do it so the phone says it is relocked now but when i went to flash the ruu it kept on saying signature fail. and all i can do now is boot the phone into the bootloader. Any suggestions in how i could fix this??

You dug a deeper hole for yourself. Nice.
Well now you need to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, and adb push or adb sideload a rom to get booting.
YouTube is good for videos only.

at OP, please disregard 99MB """RUU"""" (not sure how many quotes i can put)
go with @SaHiLzZ

What are you talking about? The first post ask for an RUU. If it's not what's wanted then so be it. But when did compiling a kernel ever occur in this equation? Do you know how to use HTC dev to find ruu's? It's all in the same spot. Been that way since the website opened. If an ruu exist it will appear in all after search is done.
If a full one isn't there then it isn't there. But it's a good spot to look.
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk

No its NOT a good place to find RUUs, and should not be the first place to look.
OP, best to look at WRITTEN guides (couple linked in my Sig) to get your phone booting.

HTC One M7 unable to do OTA

So my situation is that I have previously bricked my phone, sent it to HTC for flashing and now after that, I am unable to install the OTA update for Sense 6. The download is fine, verification is fine, only at the installation part where the blue bar will go up to about 30+% then it will give me a red exclaimation mark error where it will then restart and the version will be as of before.
Things I've tried: clearing Updater cache and resetting phone both didn't work. I saw something about resetting the cache in the recovery or something but I realised that I have no recovery in my bootloader. Is that normal or is that something HTC forgot to add in after they reflash the rom for me?
Thanks for any help given.

Do you have access to someone elses device, the calc and flashlght were initially in the data partition, so you can copy from them. There are blown away when you unlock the boot loader.

[Firmware] [LP] [5.0.1] [RetEd/DevEd] Safe Upgrade to Lollipop [N910VVRU2BOG5]

This is a Safe Upgrade to the latest Lollipop firmware (N910VVRU2BOG5) for VZW Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V), both Retail & Developer Editions.

★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?
The latest N910VVRU2BOG5 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.

Wow, you really turn this stuff over quick! I looked at your post while clocking out from work at 4:30, you said you were still downloading it. I just got home at 5:30, and you have a new thread, and links/upload already finished! WOW!
EDIT: Seems you have yet to finish uploading the BOG5 tar. Patiently (kind of) waiting at my computer. lol Im going to need a new F5 button before long!

Yup. It's the best device available considering Note 5 as a downgrade except for the design that most users cover with a case anyway!

Under special instructions, it says to flash the OAF bootloader if coming from Kit Kat (I'm on NJ5). When are we supposed to do this? After we flash the OG5 stockrestore and reboot?

1st, that'sonly for the retail edition. Then, you can do it anytime to fix the auto-brightness issues with KK bootloader. That being said, it's recommended to flash OG5 stock restore & reboot again to download mode to flash OAF bootloader, before the 1st boot.

Okay that's what I was going to do. So I'd be fine to stay on my current bootloader if I don't care about the auto brightness?

Yes, but why?

I guess as long as it is still able to be downgraded, it doesn't matter. It's not like the new one would help me in any way though.

For some reason I thought that flashing the BOG5 upgrade would wipe the whole phone and reset me to a literal "factory fresh" state. But apparently, it left EVERYTHING in tact, but DID still do the upgrade. I wanted to start fresh so I could go back to a clean system and start over. So I had to do a factory reset. No biggie. Just wanted a clean slate. Looks like Im back up and running smooth. I was on BOAF bootloader already, so I didnt flash the bootloader again this time. I should still be good, right? Havent checked the bootloader post-flash yet.
Also @hsbadr, do you mind if I mirror your Safe Upgrade files on my website/server? Always ask before I do anything. Links to my site in my signature. Also, I can include any direct links back here, or two another location of your choosing. All proper credits given.

NP! If you followed OP instructions, you'll wipe data (factory reset) in recovery, before 1st boot.

I actually did a factory reset AFTER first boot. Any real difference in effectiveness? Seems to be good.
Im taking it thats a YES on mirroring your files? Just making sure. lol

Thank you hsbadr... you're just awesome! Donated!

OK, so I've started to upload all 5 stock firmwares (ANI1 through BOG5), as well as both Safe Upgrades by @hsbadr (BOF1 and BOG5). At the speed of my home cable, it will take at least a day, maybe more. Still working on the site layout, instructions, and links. When its finished, I will post a link to the site as well as directly to the Note 4 section.

Is there not already a thread with all that info?

Yes, but all the info that I'm adding to my site, is scattered throughout various threads and other webpages. I'm making a centralized location for everything. No more mass bookmarks, remembering threads, and since my site is highly optimized, it should save a LOT of data for those that browse on their phone. I also re-compressed all the huge files, shrinking them by about 300MB each to save some bandwidth.

Just picked up a note4 yesterday, it has N910VVRU2BOF1 on it and there is an OTA I'm not taking. I'm guessing the OTA is 2BOG5?
Anyway, will this work for me coming from a stock/retail N910VVRU2BOF1 phone?
Thanks in advance!

SRS Root?

Hey guys, take a look at this. I'm not very familiar with this, but is one-click root now available for our latest firmware?

Can anyone verify if this is legitimate ?

I was thinking about giving it a try myself, but the site looked pretty shifty. I noticed someone had also mentioned this on the regular S6 page and was also seeking confirmation on the legitimacy of it. If I didn't use my phone for work, I would jump on this in a heartbeat. Future thanks to the brave soul that dives first.

I can't find *any* verified success with that app on *any* device. It seems like a slick way to get some malware, but that's about it. I won't be the first to try it anyway.

I downloaded that software and 1: it couldn't connect to their "server" and hen windows defender found malware in it humorously called ZergRush. If you don't get it, look it up on Google. You will get a fun game where little "viruses" attack your searches. If you haven't gotten it yet. I can't help you. Haha ?

Downloaded.. installed. Virus software freaked.. said to ignore it.. ran it.. says it rooted but ... I see nothing different on the phone.. it's likely whatever this is may be for the prior update? Says it's for the latest build but I get nowhere.. says it's rooted and done but.. nothing.. likely fake.

Have you tried su yet?

Hmm.
I guess the easiest way would be to get root checker from the play store.
I'm just going to guess that it didn't work though.

It says 'Sorry! Root acess is not properly installed on this device' .. so I have no idea what this SRSRoot even does. Wish I knew more about this stuff so I could check to see if the files included in the installer are even legit. It's likely fake.. What they're getting out of it I have no idea. But the fact we don't have root from the usual places tells me there's no way these clowns figured it out. Like I said, I wish I knew how to do this because I would actively be looking for an exploit or whatever it takes to get root.. I just feel if there's someone actively trying to root, it's not a priority. Could they have really locked it down this tight? I find that highly unlikely.. The bootloader sure, but root? Every device I've had was able to be rooted..

I don't know, as I think it was the note 3 that was just barely rooted.
But I heard there was an exploit found for qualcomm devices that can give root access. So it's just a wait to see if it will work for our devices.

True.. it's just so annoying. They'll likely find root for the S7 ... who knows, maybe it's chip based? The main reason I want root is because I've switched to ATT and the LTE band in my area is on Band 4 ... The S6 Edge from Verizon will work on the LTE band here perfectly but I need root to make the phone use LTE only. Currently, if I put my ATT SIM in it will connect to LTE fine, but once I get a text, call or whatever, it switches back to the H+ which isn't bad, but it's not LTE either..

Ah, I see.
Well, I'm just hoping that theyou find a way to get root access, especially since the AT&T variant just recently achieved temp root. So who knows, maybe in less than a month it could work for us too.

I'm in the same boat as you, it sucks just sitting.
I honestly thought about selling it and switching to a nexus just for the updates that they actually get. But I decided against it because this is one of my favorite phones

Agree 100% with the above, and I opted for the 128gb variant too...smh I was thinking about trading it in but for what? An shiny new S7 Edge that looks pretty much the same and is probably locked down even tighter?

I have 2 OnePlus 2's I use on AT&T .. Unlocked bootloader, rooted.. No hassles, no issues. Unlocked is the way to go. That's for sure and I learned the hard way.
