Hi can someone post firmware/bootloader/image fir indian variant of Htc 10

Also would like to know build number/cid/mid of indian variant.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourcea2z@hotmail.com:
I am using one from US. Working fine. No network issues. Great phone.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Unlocked version from the US? What is your provider? Does 4G work?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sourcea2z@hotmail.com:
Vodafone. Yes 4G works.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Thats fantastic. I dont think its compatible with Airtels 4G bands.. But I really dont need 4g. I dont download anything on mobile and a decent 3G connection is fast enough for browsing, twitter, navigation and messaging.

If its an issue, I know I can port over to Vodafone.

That makes it a lot easier to go for the US silver/black one.

Now hope they have some promotion over the next 6 weeks.. maybe something for 4th July..

I own htc 10 gold.. And its a beauty
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Yep. It feels a lot better.. It feels like an HTC phone.. you know the feel.. I can understand some liking the S7s feel in hand because its curved at the back.. but the glass back makes it feel a little clammy.. pretty much all the time.

And the gold is a lot better than the Samsung gold... that said.. I hate the white front.

Guys calm down. :)

it's my personal view. May be its because of white front and similar fingerprint scanner on front. I didn't like Gold variant.

Carbon Grey is the one for me.

Guys what about the Taiwan version. Does anyone know how to get it..It is way quicker in terms of updates ..atleast an offset of 2 months with Indian versions..Does the LTE band 2300 work for it? I think it does..
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhakjhuk1853:
You can get Taiwanese variant from grey market at 44k i jave got gold variant

Cid is htc_621

On box side you would have something written in Taiwanese language

And yes its first to get update as far as all my htc has been from taiwan

Lte band 2300 i can check it for you just let me know which sim company has lte 2300 however 4g is supported
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ICEMAN_SID:
Airtel 4G band all over India is on 2300. Ok so you are referring to grey market in Mumbai..How original is the grey market product..Gafaar in Delhi doesn't seem to be most reliable in terms of originality.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhakjhuk1853:
Airtel 4g is supported

I have got it in mumbai here there are 3 places where we can get this phone without bill

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Have a friend with moto x (2013) which only does 1800 and he told me he got 4g on airtel in Bangalore.

So yes mostly 2300 but it would appear they do have band 3 as well, the coverage might not be the same though.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

S6 has had a lot of updates, the 10 is only getting them.

It's a different camera with its own quirks like any camera. The look is more natural than artificial with the sharpening. If you are used to sharpening then natural looks different and vice versa. So some adjustment required.

There are times it will get it wrong and you have to take corrective measures. Sometimes ISO will go to high, just drop it. Same applies in bright light outdoors. Tendency to overexpose because this is a low light shooter. Use EV slider.

Understand that tapping to focus only sets focus, not exposure too like on the S6. To control exposure use the EV slider. The 10 has decoupled focus and exposure so that might throw people off. Use EV slider only when there is a big difference between dark & light, should be fine otherwise.

Keep HDR off. Not on auto.

Keep that lens clean.

Got it on taiwan variant camera autofucs improved

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Cant comment about gafoor market, however even in mumbai you have to check the cid and bootloader stuff to confirm its orignal

I informed delear that would open box and take only if its orignal. Orignal should have cid621 and bootloader mode should be working

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Yes bro you are correct

My taiwan variant doesnt have 2300 band but it supports airtel 4g via 1800 band

So as far as you have 1800 band in india every operators 4g would be supported
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Also less ISO boosting from the few samples i've seen. It's beginning to behave more like a f1.8 now.

Focus can be tricky when light is challenging, so use manual focus and your shots will be sharp.

Full manual controls, use them, don't rely on auto for everything. Do that and you won't care about updates, you will be getting good shots from day 1, with any camera.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

The 1800 thing has happened in the background it did surprise me when he told me he had 4G.

Is there a secret dial code one can use on the 10 which shows what frequency and signal strength the phone is getting. Samsung has this on their phones and its very helpful.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhakjhuk1853:
*#*#4636#* is the code also there are few apps on playstore giving details about connection like lte discovery

Also would like to inform altough it was showing 4g connection speed was about 3g itself, this may be due to connection issue in my area but worth saying
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Can you post a screen shot of the results. That will make it clear to everybody.

The sammy one looks like this

Its called service mode, am asking whether there is something similar for the one. The code you mentioned seems to be a test mode.

I have accepted a phone will cost a certain amount and I dont mind paying a bit more if its the phone I want.

If the 10 is still a better phone, I still want that.

If money is tight.. or you simply dont want to spend 50k on a phone, the OnePlus certainly seems like a great option.

OnePlus 2 was probably the last of last years "flagships" to get Marshmallow .. the security patches might/might not come frequently. there are always trade offs.

That is the point. They are equivalent.

The reason is because one company alone can't pump out enough panels and another fills the gap. Don't waste your time on these 'comparisons'.

You will have to search eBay for the factory unlocked version. Amazon is 699$ and above. I won 2 pieces for 610$ but could not pay due to PayPal issues.

Guys the one selling on eBay, which comes with seller warranty only, will those be actually covered by HTC for manufacturer warranty? I mean does HTC ask for a vat paid invoice for warranty purposes?

Nope. That is imported and it doesnt have a Global warranty..

The one time I had went to the HTC service center, they asked me if I had the bill, which I did. So not sure if they insist on it.. but they'll know if its not an indian variant.

That silver one isnt available in india.. but HTC 10 with the Indian warranty is available online.

If you do not S OFF then there is no need to worry, or wipe data.. as the encryption wont interfere.
