I say just enjoy the W10 phone while you can, or if you really want Android, go buy that model online some where.

It is not as simple as it sounds. You would need at least a flash programmer for the SoC in that phone which usually the manufacturers never release. Depending on the format of the dump you might need other flashers or files to understand how the Archos 50 eMMC is structured or to utilize them in the flashing process. You would also want to be able to put the phone into EDL mode. If you can manage to even boot the flash programmer and initialize a flash of the phone there is also high risk of bricking it. Because you would be flashing partitions that were not signed for that phone/SoC. So I am not sure if you would also need to unlock the boot loader on it or not...sounds like you would. IMO it would be best to unlock the bootloader so you can backup the current layout of the phone. This as far as I know is not possible, so I would just stop there.

I know there are some threads in other forums where they are trying to do this with the IDOL 4s, and maybe a couple devices in the past have worked out to be able to do this. However it pretty much hinges on unlocking the boot loader. Also from what I know once you flash it like that and even if device survives (it boots, the IMEI is in tact, etc.) you cannot revert it back or it is pretty much impossible to go back without bricking it.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Sounds like you're on the right path. I'm not 100% sure you need to unlock the boot loader, however it would definitely make things easier as you could dump partitions from the phone as it is and even possibly enable mass storage mode. I am unsure where you would look to unlock that phones boot loader other than here. The flash programmers you have may not be built for the Windows Phone eMMC and why they are not booting.

Hi, this is quite interesting for me as I am struggling with 2 Cesium 40 devices stuck in Qualcomm download mode. I thought I managed to extract msimage.mbn and hex binary file from ffu, converted the hex file to hex.hex and added first and last-but-one lines. Although there was no way to escape from Qualcomm mode. Thor recognizes the Qualcomm deveices, but tells me to stop QFIL operations, even if there is no QFIL. Any ideas?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
If you have qpst/qfil installed on your PC, and have used them recently. The services might still be running. Just hunt for them in task manager and kill them and run thor2 again. See if that helps.

Hi
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
HTC 10 owners speak up! How great is your 10:) let everyone know how well yours is built and holding up. Also your first impressions, the knock your socks off experience:) unfortunately mine shipped while I was on vacation and is sitting at home waiting on me. Will report on Monday when I get home! Can't wait!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredkzr:
From the 7-ish hours I've had mine, it has 100% completely lived up to the hype and has been an enormous upgrade from my One m9. I have absolutely zero build quality, screen, or performance issues. The camera is miles ahead of the m9's and I can't wait for the 1.30 software update to hit my phone which will make it even better. Also, one thing that really stood out is just how fast and accurate the fingerprint scanner is. The capacitive button idea is simply perfect for a fingerprint scanner. There's no way I can go back to a phone without a fingerprint scanner now.

My absolute biggest complaint (if you can call it that) is the position of the headphone jack. I've gotten used to having it on the bottom of the phone which fits best with my personal usage since I place a phone top-down in my pocket. I'm not sure this even qualifies as a problem and I know I'll get used to it quickly.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
You are really making me anxious to get my hands on mine!!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredkzr:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:

Did u get any delivery news mate?

U guys won't be disappointed. Mines coming next week and I'm convinced still despite the launch BS That it's gonna be a cracker.

Carbon grey ten for me, looking forward to that sexy 2.5d glass on a black front and grey device.

Drooling over next week!

How you finding size difference, I'm in a 6P and bothered about smaller screen
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
Hmm. I also using the 6p. Please explain how and why :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Yes also I had the 6p, I found it too big and clunky. I currently have the Lumia 950xl. While it is also a 5.7" screen, it is quite a bit smaller and lighter than the 6p. I also really did not like the camera strip at the back. Just could not get used to that at all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
I came from the shamu to the 6p so the screen size didn't bother me, and the phenomenal camera on the 6p made up for the ugly glass strip. Overall I'm extremely happy with the 6p but I have always been an HTC fan,(I of course had the M9 and A9 both in between, but both had their limitations) so I'm really really anxious to try a more pure stock sense experience coupled with very promising hardware!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perry977:
How is the notification sound for you guys? Idk if it is my unit, or its me, or they are all in general like that but the notification sound is kinda muffled
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] eneka:
That's one of the main reasons I switched, the 6p was just was just to big for me. Loving the smaller screen size.

The HTC 10 feel a whole lot more solid and heftier. The fit and finish just feels nicer, no mismatching plastics or pieces that aren't flush, there is no black plastic "ring" around the screen that dents and comes off easily, button feel more solid

I used to be diehard pure Android only and have tried different skins over the years, even stuff like PA or some other custom wrong. But I'm finding myself liking sense a lot. Hated the previous version on my One S. I am itching to root just so I can block ads...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hamdir:
the way i would describe it is real metal especially compared to the A9 and X9 (which has thin metal like the iPhone)

the 10 is simply steel and glass, with no plastics in your sight (except the hidden strips)

overall a screaming premium feel, my TPU case is killing the whole aura so i am really anxious for my Spigen ExactFit to arrive, also the Fitbag black rave pouch looks amazingly classy with it
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Willy_P:
My eyesight isn't what it used to be so I've been using phablets - Note 2, Note 4, Moto X Pure Edition - and I was a little worried about the smaller screen size on the HTC 10. I've discovered, however, that it's very easy for me to read the HTC 10 screen. I prefer Sense over TouchWiz, but I've been spoiled by the flexibility of Nova Prime and I installed it on my HTC 10 after about an hour. So far, I'm very pleased with the HTC 10. I'll know more after I've used it for a week or two.

I got mine yesterday (so far I love it) and I just now noticed there is a slight gap between the top of the screen and the frame. Has anyone else noticed this?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
OK after having phone a solid 8 hours with 80% of my apps installed compared to Samsung S7 Edge is a mini review:

Nice build quality, slightly smaller screen, cleaner UI but with some idiosyncrasies, very good sound, type-C connector.

I am finding the more apps I install the slower the phone is becoming with some lag and stutter, the camera is quite good but Edge is better overall especially in low light, Edge is blazing fast despite touch wiz, Edge screen is gorgeous and battery life is probably better but will withhold judgement on HTC 10 for a day or two.

Overall a very good phone but not enough to best the Edge. Marketing will be an issue for this phone and may be difficult for buyers to justify at same price point if the preorder $100 discount is not available.

The wow factor is almost there IMHO.

Will keep testing with an open mind.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toni10:
Build quality is good! /Haptic feedback?

Hello everyone...:)

I received my htc 10 yesterday.

The production quality is good. I like it.

Particularly in comparison with the M8, where the first devices had a loose volume rocker etc.

The only thing i noticed, is that the Fingerprint sensor is slightly out of level.

but no big deal...

The thing that is bothering me is the Haptic Feedback.

The vibration motor is really strong and you can actually hear the haptic feedback.

especially while texting.

I would like to know if it is the same on your devices and your opinion.

I am not sure if it is normal...:confused:

best regards...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c19932:
yup. The haptic feedback sound is loud. I had to disable keyboard haptic feedback. Your device is normal.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toni10:
Thanks for the quick reply...

Ok, that's a thing I definitely don't like.

I'll turn it off to.:(

Have a nice weekend.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
I don't get this. Any vibration on a body that goes outwards has a sound. Which device is without sound in this regard?

Opo had a very week vibration, yet very loud. The 10 has moderate vibration strength and little sound. The optimal in my book. Especially because I use it in office environments where I turn notification sounds down and need that buzz sound
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jooosty:
The vibration is very strong. I think it's intended.

Also the finger scanner is supposed to be a little indented and not flush with glass.

Besides that, this is probably the best quality built device I've used, and I have had 44 in the past 4 years.

Definitely up there with Apple and Samsung. I am happy.

Anybody else experiencing problems with laser autofocus when switching on camera? It doesn't start automatically.

It says 'Laser autofocus blocked, blabla...' Once you move camera or touch the screen it starts focusing.

I don't think so, people who have autofocus issue, they say it's solved after 1.30 update. Who has serious autofocus or pictere quality issue after the 1.30 update they must change their device with new one.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
OK.. So i really really want to like this device but my first several hours are not so hot.. Super slow compared to my 6p, constantly has issues focusing the camera. takes forrrreeevvverrrr to simply uninstall an app and most frustrating, it doesn't work with my metroPCS sim... Called them and added the IEMI and everything and it simply shows no service.. They don't know why it doesn't work.... The build quality itself is fantastic! Far superior to any other device I've used so far.. But man.. Sure didn't expect these issues right off the bat.. Any one else unable to get theirs to work on MetroPCS. Called them and added the IEMI and everything.. That was several hours ago and many reboots later and still no service what so ever... ??? :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
So i cleared the cache and factory reset my new HTC 10 and now MetroPCS works... No Idea what was up with that..
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] djbutter:
Been using it since it delivered late last Friday. I love it!

The headphone audio seriously blows away every other smartphone. I had an S6, which already sounded great, but the 10 is miles ahead of it.

I signed up for a Tidal Hi-Fi trial to test out whether or not FLAC streaming could make more of a difference. And it does! HTC 10 + Tidal Hi-Fi + a decent set of earphones (I have a pair of Klipsch S4 buds) = complete aural paradise.

I let my music-fiend-iPhone-head-of-a-friend try it out with her pair of Bowers and Wilkins, and she was shocked. She hates her iPhone sound now.

On the other hand, the camera is very good, but it's not great. I'm hoping the latest camera update will resolve this (I'm on 1.21).

Everything else is fantastic. It feels very Apple-level refined, from the hardware to the software.

The HTC 10 is the best Android phone no one will buy. This honestly makes me really sad to think about, given the latest news of their financial woes. The thought that the company built this absolutely wonderful product and nobody cares. (Example: among my group of five friends, I was the only one without an iPhone, and none of them have even heard of HTC.)

I really hope HTC doesn't go under.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
Overall impression: Great. Great build, amazing screen. Great sound. Awesome fingerprint scanner, very accurate. Buttons very good. Software is great. No lag at all. So fast. Camera....so far..(1.21) great in daylight....not so great in low light at all. Has trouble focusing bad in low light. I'll wait for the updates. ONE thing I absolutely HATE. The touch to focus exposure slider. Why the hell do I have to swipe on it 50 times to get it to change a little? Also, does this phone not have spot metering? Or does it just adjust for focus for the whole shot? seems so dumb if it only has that.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rado_vr6:
They can never seem to get the camera right. They do make nice looking devices, but the general population want great cameras, a smooth user experience, and notoriety. HTC hasn't churned out a device with a half decent camera in years, Sense was okay, but not great, and with the loss of market share, they are no longer the king of the ring.

It's a shame because this device could have been a real game changer, but with the camera issues plaguing it, I doubt anyone besides us enthusiasts will take a second look at it. Even AT&T shunned it. That's saying something when one of the largest carriers in America say we aren't carrying your product.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
So... Sorry for the bad first impressions :( I have screwed around with it for about 10 hours now and finally concluded that I do have a defective device. Laser focus doesn't work at all. Battery drain is insane.. Sim card read issues.. Buggy and crashy, unresponsive finger print reader.. Called HTC and they processed a swap with no questions asked. Will report more when I get the replacement tomorrow. I do like the cleaner sense and the general feel of the phone. I do hope I just had a bad device.

HTC 10 is as close to 10 as it can get I think. At least in terms of build quality. The only thing bad IMO is the display's viewing angles because it produces a bit of warmer image than looking at it straight 90 degrees. But I think I can live with that.

10 is the worthy successor to M7 in every possible way. HTC should be commended for this phone.

So I got my replacement device and have been using it for a week or so now. I must say that all the above issues have been resolved. really really impressed with the device. Not so much because it's so much better than any of my other devices, it just doesn't do to many things wrong which is more than most HTC devices have done recently. Amazing build quality, battery life has been amazing!! as good as my 6p. Love the cleaner more stock sense. The only 2 weakness's on the phone are, crappy sounding external speakers and as much as I hate to say it, a very mediocre camera (Better than M7, M8 and M9 though) but my 6p and my wife's HTC A9 both take much better photos in almost every condition. I am on 1.53 software with a custom ROM and kernel and have seen camera improvements over 1.21 but still not enough to please the average user coming from the past few iphones or samsungs.. Its really a crying shame.. With HTC bleeding money I was really hoping they would hit this one out of the park and they came so close.. But with everyone critical of their cameras to begin with this one will not cut it.

[General Questions and Answers] GloUnicorns:
Hello, I have a rooted Metro PCS ZTE obsidian z820 and running Android 5.1 , with stock ROM and I really don't know much but I have been starting to learn.

Anyways I've had to restore a backup from recovery at least 4 times already because one day my phone died and I left it off and let it charge but when I powered it back on I got the message 'unfortunately the process com. google.android.gapps' has stopped' repeatedly making it impossible to do anything. once I restored my backup I searched everywhere , started looking at Logs from alogcat(which im also a beginner at), and cant seem to find any thing actuallly related to MY problem. I need to fix that problem from happening before it happens.

sadly when l made my backup my phone was already acting up and FORCE CLOSING MULTIPLE APPS. i.e when try to open a text message (through the notification or the app itself) with the stock messaging app it will force close. I've been unable to reply or read more then the preview of the messages so I tried to just compose a new message to respond but as soon as I click send it force closes, and the message still gets sent.

The play store also started force closing when I would click 'see more' on any apps description.

Gmail & Inbox by Gmail also force close when trying to read a message . These aren't the only apps that have started messing up. I very desperatly need help I CANNOT afford another new phone. I don't know if it's because I rooted in phone or what? but how do I know? :confused:

UPDATE!!: I accidently opened Google maps and I started seeing 'unfortunately the process com.google.android.gapps has stopped ' repeatedly again. I restored my back up again and almost every one of my apps force close upon opening now or it seems like once inside an app I try to read anything like 'see more' or description of open emails or messages it force closes?

Firefox, Apptoid app-store, orbot, Esfile-Explorer pro, lucky patcher, catlog, are im pretty sure the only mostly working apps.
