Here's where I am so far: TWRP flashed through ADB: Everything was done and Okay.

Reboot the Bootloader and went into Recovery, and the HTC screen loaded with Red Text saying that this was for Development Purposes Only.

No Recovery, rebooted to the regular phone mode.

What did I mess up? I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-6-pme
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Wrong TWRP.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goliath27:
So here is probably where I have to ask......... What the hell? Both You and JCase said to install the Latest TWRP and that's exactly what I did. Here: Link to Available Versions for HTC 10 TWRP

Edit (I'm being rude, apologies)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:

From the TWRP thread.

Sigh. Thank you Captain! Flashing now, can someone please update the OP [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
OP is fine, links to TWRP site. Won't update it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goliath27:
I meant this link for #2. It sends to TWRP site but it does not have 3.0.3, it stops at 3.0.2-6. Anyone following these instructions will end up in the same place, and cluttering this thread with the same questions. Just my opinion.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
There's a link to the TWRP thread on the device page on the TWRP site...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
I followed these exact directions last night my phone is rooted and fine. The directions work.

I'm not chasing 1000 builds for 1000 devices for 1000 difference specific firmware variations. I'm linking to the official TWRP as its easier, and link to it won't change with time.

If you have a specific firmware that requires specific things to root it, I encourage you to make a thread for rooting that firmware, this is a generic one.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goliath27:
Just gotta say, thank you both for being Patient with me. I understand, that is their main site. My issue isn't that your link is wrong, it's that the path to the downloads in the TWRP site is old and needs to be updated. You would think the latest update for a device would be in their Site, and not a link to XDA from their main Site.

Thank's again! Installing SU next once my backup is done and I understand that there are Forced Encryption versions and the new 2.79 version. Any knowledge on which one I should install to avoid losing Radio or anything else?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
At the end of the day, you just have to read everything you can so you know what you're doing. The path the the Downloads on the TWRP site isn't wrong; the latest version there just doesn't support Nougat firmware. If it was possible to have a version there that supported all the firmware, there would be. There's a reason there's a support thread on XDA - always check there and specifically the FAQ so you understand the current status of the device.

Can somebody explain to me how to do step 3? I boot my phone into twrp and execute the adb command and it doesn't work. It says "The system cannot find the path specified".
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goliath27:
This is probably where my flashing went wrong, so don't follow these steps. But in TWRP, before flashing SU, I went to Advanced>Terminal and entered in the command. Once I hit enter, it just went down to the next line.

Then, I just flashed SU and that was it. I believe that code is already included in the new SU 2.79 but when I followed the same steps, it didn't work the second time. (I removed. SuperSU and then tried to reinstall).

Stuck at "Your phone is encrypted"

I'm trying to get an unlocked version working fully on VZW following this thread. Sadly now I'm stuck at "Your phone is encrypted" and I've no idea why or how to fix it.

I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev.com

Paid for S-off via Sunshine

Flashed lastest TWRP for HTC 10

Flashed SuperSU from https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/root-supersu-2-71-forceencrypt-verity-t3373258

All went well. I was having trouble getting any of the VZW RUU.exe files to work, so I loaded up the zip version on my SD card, renamed it to 2PS6IMG.zip and loaded it up without issue. The phone boots to a Verizon welcome screen but then goes directly the the "Your phone is encrypted" screen. None of my drivers are loading now.

How to fix this?

Thanks for the response, I actually ended up figuring that out. I think I was in a bit of a panic.

I'm happy :good:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fre$h:
Hi alls

In order to gain full safetynet compatibility ... I crapped my previously gained S-off :(

I'm now : "Software status modified ", unlocked and S-On :'(

I'm on a 2.41 nougat firmware, and as I'm now S-on, I can't downgrade to older RUU et redo the sunshine tricks to S-OFF it properly

As TWRP is installed, I managed to try other ROM, MAXIMUS HD for exemple with root only, in order to let Sunshine Work. Everything goes well, sunshine tells me that everything is ok, and asked me if I want unlock+soff or locked+soff.

I have to recall that I S-Off my HTC10 with a "young" sunshine that had bugs, but had no time to redo the whole process to be ok while I was on older firmware ...

At a particular moment, the HTC10 reboot itself but without gain S-Off nor relock. If I try ton redo sunshine, it asks me to uninstall it before, as something went wrong last time ....

Do anyone can help me to regain S-Off and lock it properly, or is it a waste of time at the moment ?

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Houraaaaayyyyyy

For a reason I don't understand, installing Venom Su-only ROM instead of Maximus HD 3.6 did the job and allow Sunshine to SOff and relock properly ;)

Hi guys,

I've just rooted the latest SuperSU version from TWRP, by using the "Install" functionality in TWRP, and without typing:

- adb shell "echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.supersu"

Now the system is rooted but I am afraid I'll have issues with the encryption... what should I do?

Anybody?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ej_424:
Does this thread/guides apply to the Sprint version? I'm a bit confused coming from a Google Pixel. Is S-off the same as unlocked bootloader? What is RUU? I keep hearing that I should be able to flash most roms on my sprint variant but need to ensure I flash the sprint radio as the last step? Dont roms have that built in via Aroma based on carrier options? Sorry for the confusion I just dont want to brick this thing. Still trying to learn the differences between google/nexus devices and HTC. Terminology is different. I completely understand ADB/Fastboot and TWRP.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

Ok I think i answered my own questions for the most part. I do know this guide works for sprint now. So if i follow this guide, I"m essentially unlocking bootloader (s-off) installing customer recovery (TWRP) and rooting via SU flash in TWRP.

Once I complete this guide is it as simple as flashing any rom via TWRP like usual?

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Im new to the HTC dev side of things (coming from Pixel). You could try running the commands you should have the first time and then reflashing the SU.zip via TWRP. I'm not sure how HTC encryption works on their devices but it was a pain on the pixel initially. TWRP would ask for a password which needed to be entered. If your phone wasn't proper decrypted it would just list a bunch of random characters when looking for files in TWRP. That maybe a way to verify if you are having issues? We may be talking about different things here, but worse case scenario you flash back to stock, start over and following the instructions in the proper order.

[Resolved] Bootloop after flashing SuperSU

Greetings to all of you,

I somehow will get a bootloop with htc log and red writing underneath it after i flash SuperSU.

I don't know why this happens, but it means i am not able to root my htc unfortunately.

Does someone have any advice?

Things i tried:

modified SuperSU with Forecencryption on sideload and twrp flash

normal SuperSU with Forceencrypt command in adb shell from computer while device is in recovery then sideload

Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Got it to work somehow don't know what I did differently this time though. :good:

Don't start the recovery mode

Hello everyone,

sorry for my English using google translator. I have a problem after unlocking the bootloader and checking the written unlocked downloadsmode. After I tried to install TWRP and in downloadmode screen it says the process is complete but I mount when I try to start in recovey mode exits the written htc more red lettering

"This build is for

development purposes only

Do not distribute outside of HTC

without HTC's written permission.

Failure to comply may

lead to legal action".

At the end then start normally system.

After Using sunshine and doing temproot gives me the following message "sunshine was enable to gain root access to your device. youvmay need to gain "temproot" or "permroot" through some other means. for htc devices, unlocking and rooting whit htcdev.com whitva custom recovery may work".

I do not know what to do, who can help me?

Would anyone mind reporting if the videos in post 2 are still relevant on a sprint variant with original SW and original radios, please? I really need to root this thing and hopefully also get s-off, but just haven't had time to keep up with this stuff with family, work, blah blah blah (and as someone who barely understood it to begin with -this is the first phone/laptop I haven't rooted immediately since 2010, but I'm a bit out of loop, and it seems a lot has changed, in some ways). I recall I checked a while back and systemless root threw me for a bit of a loop. Any heads up much appreciated.

Doesn't sound like you did what I said. TWRP thread on XDA. Read it. And if you're going to post that something "doesn't work" post details. Otherwise people are just guessing at what the problem is and blow to help you.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexis90:
I followed this thread : https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

- ADB and fastboot are installed on C:\

- bootloader is unlock

- once in the bootloader, the command "fastboot devices" show me the serial number of my HTC 10

- flash operation succed (step 2/2 100% on the phone)

- when I reboot on recovery, it appears the previously message in red and reboot normally, without a root of HTC.

I followed all steps a multiple times, and then I looked on youtube tutorial by RootJunky.

When I search on internet, this probleme is mentionned on HTC M8, or others one. The solution to fix it was to turn mobile en s-off. But for the HTC 10, it seems that there's only Sunshine to do this, and need to be root...

Before "temproot", it wrote that "your device has passed the basic pretest, however it is not rooted". When I "click" on temproot on the screen, it was mentionned a failure, again, and "Sunshine was unable to gain root access" (-> of course...)

Did I do something wrong ?

The forum is filled with a lot of information (not just *this tuto and XDA website*), but you have to try and check / read (I'm not a fan of youtube), what you're looking for.

So, I backup all that needed (except cache) on SD card, and I hit on ADB sideload, then install the BETA-superSU-v2.74 , I reboot system and... that's rebooting again and again, without anything happens...

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
On some of the older software before Nougat, you can s-off without needing to unlock your bootloader.

On the latest software, you can still s-off but you need to unlock your bootloader and root the phone first. But other than that, no problems as of now.

If you need locked bootloader status, then yes, SunShine is the only way. If you're fine with re-locked status, you can do it yourself with fastboot.

Hi,

I have HTC 10 - official EU version. As there are no updates of SW in EU completely (shame on you HTC!!!) I am considering to use SW from US to have security updated and possibly also newer versions.

Is there a way to change something to receive OTAs from US on my EU phone?

Is there a way to change something to be able to flash US ROMs without loosing data and configuration ( I mean not the first time, but anytime later when US SW is there already)?

I need to have the phone unrooted because of Mobile Iron - corporate email. I hope I can root it, reinstall to US and then unroot it. Hope this is not issue?
