I have the same problem – did you ever figure it out?
Should twrp 3.X work? also, supersu 2.7x?
Yes.
The restoration of the OS completed quickly. I’m rebooting now. It is taking a little longer than normal… . I’ve been up all night working on this… . I see the AT&T globe logo. It faded to the next “htc one – powered by android” screen… . This is where it has hung before when recovery said there was no OS installed.
When I go boot into recovery, I can now see files inside the folders as well as at the root of the directory system. My SuperSu zipfile is missing. If I can ever get the device to load its OS, I can copy the file back to the phone.
You may restore device to official Marshmallow firmware using this guide: https://www.droidviews.com/upda…
Use method 2, the one using Fastboot. This will restore your device to stock firmware and you will be able to boot your device.
IF you do not want to restore, you can use ADB sideload to transfer SuperSU zip file to your phone while it is booted into TWRP.
Ok. I’ve downloaded and flashed various versions of TWRP Recovery. I finally got hold of 2.8.7.1_CPTB-* (my VPN client was blocking the download until I turned it off).
Once I’m in recovery, I still can’t find the zip file. While using one of the other recoveries, I got a notice that there was no OS installed when I tried to reboot. That was scary!
Using 2.8.7.1, I am able to do a restore of my nandroid backup (other attempts to restore had failed). The current one is proceeding apace. One I get my OS restored, I hope to be able to reboot, reinstall the zipfile, and proceed to root. I’ll report later.
I have been able to install TWRP Recovery, version 2.8.7.0. I had a previous version installed which allowed me to install the SuperSU zipfile (though I “found” it by accident. Now I’m unable to locate the file and I can’t recreate the method I accidentally used previously. The recovery “file manager” doesn’t show individual files at the root (/) level or among the subdirectories.
What is the method for locating the Beta-SuperSU file?
I’m also getting stuck on the “htc one Powered by android” screen. At first it hangs there for a while, then I get the AT&T logo for a few seconds, then it returns to the previous htc one screen and hangs again. Is there a solution to this? When it did it on the previous lower version of the TWRP recovery, I attributed the hang to that version. I found the later version, flashed it successfully, but am still getting the hung screen.
Umm, my phone won’t get past the htc one powered by android loading screen….
Maybe I’m missing it but it seems like this will only work on a particular variant of the M9 – which one(s)?
Do I need to unlock bootloader with S-OFF for installing custom recovery?
I succesfully flashed latest TWRP before I even considered S-OFF but I believe I had to unlock bootloader using HTCDEV first.
Is this work on developer varson of htc one m9 3.35.617.12
No.
Is this for GSM models only ? Will this work on Verizon once Verizon gets the official update?
Yes, it should work just as it did before: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-root-htc-one-m9-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-it/
