Unlock bootloader from htcdev website, flash twrp from the twrp thread, flash ROM
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Manav Asopa:
I am using windows 10 and somehow i am not able to get the steps that are shown on htc dev website and the video posted.. Any help
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Di you have adb/fastboot installed, and are you running a CMD - Not a powershell - from your adb directory in the first place? Are all HTC drivers installed. Man that's to less information to really help you. And an S-OFF thread isn't really meant to be a help thread for basic problems - at least as far as I am concerned.

DELETED :D

I asked an stupid question, sorry
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Magic Stick:
Hey, this is my 1st htc device, so I wanted to make sure I won't do something stupid.

Right now I have S-OFF Locked status and want to maintain it that way. Before proceeding with the tutorial in the op, should the device be fully stock? I mean, I flashed modified ABOOTS partition to get rid of the red text - shall I flash untouched one again? Also, if there's an OTA available, will reflashing stock recovery be enough to be able to receive it again?

Lastly, this is my encryption status - is it fine to just do the steps in the op and it will be enough?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetxxx:
Software status: Modified

It's possible to change Software status from Modified to Official? When my phone was back from service I saw this Modified status.I have root and S-ON.

Second question some times when I restore my aplication by Titanium backup some aplication stuck on install and I must reboot TB or phone. Maybe this happend because I don`t have S-OFF?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
red text MOD is an easy way to brick your device if you don't fully understand what you're doing.

Highly suggest doing some more reading up on it, or just not using the modified aboot (realistically how often do you really see the red text?)

Hi, can i S OFF even if i have a custom ROM? I still have ICE with Android 6 on my HTC 10 (unlocked firmware 1.95.401) and i would like to update to the latest LeeDroid with Nougat but to do so i will have to ugrade firmware first, and i have to be S-OFF. Can i still do it with the SUNSHINE APP?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
You dont need to S OFF to upgrade firmware. Flash the latest RUU.

Hi

I have unlocked the bootloader, and flashed twrp successfully three times today, but for some reason, twrp does not show up at all.

Do you think somehow the latest stock Nougat keeps automatically replacing the recovery back to stock?

flash it in download mode
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crysix1:
Hello, does anyone know if this root process still applies for the latest software update, Nougat 2.41.709.71?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellSite:
Basically yes, but you should take a look at Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I would say the easiest way from now on is to...

1) Unlock via htcdev or S-OFF using sunshine

(The 2nd option should be the preferred one as it has some benefits over htcdev unlock and is imho totally worth the money)

2) Flash latest twrp

3) Flash latest Magisk in twrp

4) Activate Magisk Hide

Remember on the HTC 10 S-OFF makes an htcdev unlock unnecessary. Will be explained by sunshine...

It also gives you the ability to flash firmware files while running a custom rom without having to run a RUU, which would force you to perform a nandroid backup beforehand and or reinstall the custom rom.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crysix1:
Thanks for the response. I've been hearing about Magisk but wasn't sure how to go about installing it. I've actually flashed SuperSU already. I have never actually removed SuperSU before. What's the procedure for me to gain Magisk at this point?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellSite:
[MENTION=6667611]crysix1[/MENTION]

It is all described in the magisk support thread. You should start using the searchbox or atleast read trough the first post.

Then you would have found everything on your own.

Scroll down to "Moving from another systemless root solution to MagiskSU".

How much of this do I have to do if all I want is SuperSU to uninstall bloatware apps I dislike?

I have a Samunge Galaxy Tab and it had an auto-root thing I just ran from my Pc which installed everything to use Super SU, no strange recovery and whatnot.

Is there any simpler way to do only that?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] UTL:
Hi, I've gotten through steps 1 and 2, no issues thanks to the video tutorials. I just need some clarification on steps 3 and 4:

3) Using adb, in twrp run - adb shell "echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.supersu"

-what does "using adb in twrp" mean? Do I use the terminal in twrp for this command, then do something else, or do I use adb from my pc to run this command, in which case what does my phone need to be doing?

4) flash latest supersu from ...

To which partition do I flash the supersu file?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] UTL:
I'm pretty convinced that step 4 intends me to flash it to the system partition, though I can't find that stated anywhere. For #3, when I use the command from my PC I see "error: closed", and when I try it from the terminal in TWRP something changes (~# changes to >, I assume the shell input mark). Then I tried fastboot flash system [supersufilename] and I get "<waiting for device>". Any suggestions? Do I need to boot into download mode? If so, will the echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.supersu command hold? For detailed instructions, is there an updated video walkthrough? I can only find the videos for the old method.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottspa74:
To push superuser to /system, I think you need to use adb push method. I could be off on this, this is the first Android device I've left stock in 7 years. I'm hoping someone can chime in for you, and that my comment brings more eyes. Good luck.

(My understanding from previous experience, is that when using 'fastboot flash recovery...' for example, it's to replace the recovery partition with a different recovery. You don't want to replace your /system partition, only add to it. So I think adb push is what you want to use.

(Amazing to me how little interest/support there is for this device. It's no slouch
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] UTL:
Thanks for the input (and helping me draw some attention), I'm back on the trail. I was able to finish root and get S-off, but no luck on the radio working yet. The SuperSU was just to be "installed" with TWRP. I get mixed up with all the different ways to flash things and where to put them.

Anyway, I never did figure out the KEEPFORCEENCRYPT thing, and my radio doesn't work. I suspect that is why. Can anyone clarify this step? Do I need to backtrack and redo the SuperSU?

It is accepting fastboot devices..not flashing recovery either original or twrp
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
My suggestion was to restore a system backup using fastboot in download mode. I've never done this but I'm pretty sure it's possible. You might want to ask Captain_Throwback about it.

Do you have stock recovery installed? Because really all you should need to do is factory reset to clear that request for a password on boot.

How optional it is depends on your needs. If you don't need to change CID/MID or flash a radio or other firmware files not intended for your exact model, then it should be optional.

How do you have no recovery? What happens when you try to enter recovery from bootloader mode? What were the exact steps you did to get where you are?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tailor999:
I had successfully completed steps upto 13. I attempted countless times to format data as twrp did not flash due to dycrypt. I thought if i started from begining and wipe through bootloader unlock again i would start from the beginning.

I then got screen with the message "Your phones is encrypted" "TO DECRYPT YOUR PHONE. ENTER YOUR SCREEN LOCK PASSWORD"

I had no screen lock password... i have different passwords to decrypt . Each time i put a password in it resest phone and does factory rest and then reboots straight into Bootloader again.

I have continued this process over and over. Phone does not boot.

Phone has no recovery " Failed to boot into recovery mode" red writing on a black screen.

Adb does not work.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Maybe you can ask [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] if he knows of a solution to wipe userdata from download mode. He's done a lot of work relating to this so maybe he's stumbled across something that would work for you.

Here's his thread:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/script-wipe-encrypted-data-wiping-t3374044

Just read the thread about it for the M9.

But no worries, I'm not ready to unlock BL and s-off just yet anyway.

But If neccesary can S-Off remove the bootloader unlocked flag etc should I need too?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Yeah, but in the M9 thread you have to be s-off for that to work. So either s-off from the factory or with xtc clip or java card.

With the M8 and older you could temproot to get s-off. I didn't see where anyone came up with a way to temproot the M9 or A9.

Guys need help. Am s-off twrp installed, locked bootloader. Unlocked using NV method successfully. However am unable to root it with magisk or SU. On flashing it shows successfully installed but no root access. On flashing any custom rom leads to bootloop and I have to flash the ruu again thru SD card 2PS6IMG. However no data is active. Only calls on GSM is enabled. Been looking thru the forum for fixes but nothing is working. Last 4-days have been really desperate. I got the phone s-off and rooted with magisk. Since 4G data was not working, I did erase modemst1/2 and radio this is when the issue started. It relocked my sim on sprint and after have been unable to root it or install custom rom which leads to boot loop. Am on nougat 7.0. Any help will be great help. If data can be enabled. Many thanks.

Why didn't you unlock bootloader normally? It doesn't seem like that worked since you couldn't' root afterwards.

Why are you S-Off? Is there a specific need for it?

Do you have the Sprint variant? Sprint uses GSM?

Without specifics (steps you did, which files, version numbers, details of your phone, etc.), the best explanation is that you flashed the wrong file(s) or didn't follow instructions precisely.
