Hey guys. Haven't been in this thread in a while, let alone on XDA. Just letting you guys know that I probably won't be building for this device anymore because I no longer have a use for the builds although I'm not ruling it out.
I bought an Aukey quick charge 3.0 charger and my A9 didn't like it. So much in fact that it decided to melt the charging port. I'm not sure if it was because of the charger or because of HTC's code, but regardless, it's almost inoperable.

Thank you for your builds. Surely saved many when Lineage builds were on hold.

The A9 is now included in the list of official nightlies ( in case you haven't read the last few pages ) so there's a build coming out every week.

Hope you can fix your device and use it again.

Heh. Didn't know it was official now. Haven't been keeping up with Lineage well enough either it would seem.

But I had fun and I'm glad I helped for a while there.

And I'm not sure what to do with my device. I may fix it.

Anyway, Cheers guys! Hope to see you all around on XDA.

What firmware version do you have?

What firmware version do you have?

I had 2.16 ... Mr CaptainThrowback told me that I need to flash 1.56/1.57 which I successfully did .. now I get Decryption Unsuccessfull whenever I boot LOS.. "Password you entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt" ..

Any Ideas ?

Hmm. I've never seen that issue personally. Hopefully one of these other fine people can help you.

But I had a similar problem months ago: I flashed 2.16 and decided I wanted to go back so I could use Lineage. I tried flashing it but nothing I did would change the firmware. So I had to stick with stock. I hope it is possible to go back for your sake but I was unsuccessful.

TWRP does not support encryption with Lineage on the A9. Not for lack of trying... Captain Throwback has posted about it both in this thread and the TWRP one. You can either keep your device encrypted, or use the boot patcher available to stop Lineage from enforcing encryption, in which case you have to flash the boot patcher every time after flashing a new Lineage build.

Or just root with the latest Magisk Beta...

Actually, reading again, not sure this has anything to do with TWRP... Decryption fails booting to Lineage, not recovery ? I have not seen that error before either, in any Lineage encrypted device.

Only for: HTC One A9 (GSM International) - hiaeuhl

Status report from me to the following build:
lineage-14.1-20170627-nightly-hiaeuhl-signed.zip

Carrier: German Telekom
SU addon enabled
Recovery: twrp-3.1.1-0-hiae.img 2017-05-17

Phone

htc_hiaeuhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
[email protected]
OpenDSP-7.8.2.00197-8952-1228
OS-1.62.161.2

Bugs I've spotted in the build:
- Camera is not working correctly in HDR mode
- Text to speech (Pico TTS) is broken, wired sounds in every language (since a long time, forgot to report it)
- Music Player alway displaying album covers on lock screen (if you enable and disable this bug stop till you close the app)
- Decryption of /data with TWRP 3.1.1.0 still not working

Fixed:
- Carrier is not detected automatically (you've to selected manually after every reboot and every time you've switch from flight mod back to normal) --> FIXED
- Email notification is not working --> FIXED Select PUSH mode
- LiveDisplay does work sometimes and sometimes not (kind of strange) --> FIXED
- No translation for the new GPS menu --> FIXED
- Notification LED is not working for apps that are active if screen is locked (sms/mms is working) --> FIXED
- Personal encryption password is not working (if you enter one, lineage does not detect any carrier)--> Haven't tested it with this build. Because I'm not able to do a full backup (/data decryption not working), I'm not willing to wipe the phone for the test --> FIXED
- WLAN only working in 5 GHZ mode, no 2.4 GHZ mode --> FIXED

Camera works fine, no crashes if apps access the camera.
No reboots or other wired stuff.

For me:
- The camera function of Facebook Messenger is still not working, but for WhatsApp it works normally.
- HDR capture still won't synthesis the higher and lower exposure images, it would save two image files directly.

OK. Latest update : I have managed to setup Lineage OS latest. 21Jun17 version. What I did:
Twrp -> Wipe -> Format Data + Format Internal Storage -> Reboot
All data on Int Storage lost : after boot LOS encrypted internal storage .. Password is not known, but a works for me now.
Hope that helps.

I'm glad that you resolved it yourself. But as Ultramanoid suggested, I'd recommend you use the patcher to prevent Lineage from encrypting because that still seems to be problematic on this device.

But if it works for you, good job!

Is there any word from HTC as to when they will release the source code for nougat? I'm on 2.17.401.2 RUU and waiting for Lineage OS to support it.

Or on the other hand, where do I get a signed 1.56.401.70 (cidnum: HTC__034) firmware from so I can perform a downgrade with S-ON?

If you check the last few posts here, you'll see they just replied to Captain Throwback on Twitter, they said "soon"... I hope that means a few days / weeks.

For the firmware, check the first post of the RUU thread, ask there if you can't find it :

Hopefully by August Nougat users can flash LOS. I still haven't found a way to downgrade or flash TWRP without it formatting my internal storage so I'm sticking to the Dev Unlock ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

How do I downgrade to 1.5x firmware? I get the 12 RUU ERROR thing because of the whole Nougat update key deal. I've read that I need to flash a 1.x firmware to downgrade to 1.x, but how the balls am I supposed to do that when I can't flash the firmware in the first place? I'm trying to get the most out of this phone until I can upgrade to the OnePlus 5 or HTC U11 later this year. I love the feeling of stock Android with minimal BS, Sense ticks those boxes but it's just not "stock" enough imho. I feel Lineage should tickle my fancy .(as it has twice around with the OnePlus One and Galaxy SIII, which were uber easy to flash)

Given that hTC has committed to releasing it "soon", whatever that means, I wouldn't go through the hassle of changing firmware now and then later again, and just wait at least a couple of weeks.

However, note that data became incompatible with newer versions of Lineage recently and it was necessary to format to upgrade, so you may have to do that anyway. There are a few posts about it in the thread.
