will the radio and everything work if i root ?

everything will work right ? after rooting ? i installed twrp recovery. Am scared to install root as i have seen some radio issues all over the internet.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Isis111:
Small Question

OK, I've read most of this thread and the one thing I wanted to ask is the root method. Allot of people automatically go to Magisk and I noticed on this thread that jcase uses Supersu instead of Magisk, is there a reason or just personal preference? I did my usual routine to get root and s-off but after installing TWRP I had the issue with forced encryption, to get the device working again I used the stock RUU for unlocked devices and now I'm back to the beginning with an unlocked bootloader (htcdev) and want to go for root and TWRP but do not want to do through all the issues I had before, which is why I'm asking about using Suspersu or Magisk. I've been doing this for quite awhile so I'm not a complete noob, but all this trouble using TWRP is new to me. I have another HTC 10 and I had no problem with it and it's unlocked, rooted, with supercid, this new HTC 10 is giving me fits. Anyway thanks for any insight you guys might have.

Thanks

Krissy
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr Hofs:
If you refer to the opening post where supersu is described, at that time there was no magisk. As you can see the article/OP is from mid 2016, not 2018.

Cheers
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Isis111:
Now I feel really dumb, didn't even think about the dates, very much appreciated Mr. Hofs.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr Hofs:
No worries, i myself still use supersu. Don't know why but i am not 'feeling" magisk and don't need it actually

?

I don't understand how to do that

Sup,i just buy the HTC 10 from ebay.When i go to HTCDEV.site i cant register to be able to unlock the bootloader.Is this something you all know or someone can give any info?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
If it's a Verizon device, and sunshine is unable to get temp root, you'd need to use our mail-in service.

Will this also root the HTC 10 EVO?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
You don't need any of this thread for rooting the EVO. And obviously this isn't the right place for it, there is an EVO forum on xda so you can look there. To root your phone, you'll have to unlock your bootloader first, then flash twrp, then supersu or Magisk.

No more Download mode - Bricked?

Hello,

I have problems with Rolling Back the software as I got massive problems under 8.1.

My device is running software number 206 with the branding O2___102 and I started theflashing running LO15.

I took the software from here:

handy-faq (dot) de/forum/htc-10-firmware-ruus-otas-backups-stock-recoveries-und-co-t321770/

Besides this guide I also took the video on YouTube as my help:

youtube (dot) com/watch?v=4djlglFpJP8

During this process, they give me always the error back, that the header doesn't fit. Means, I was not even able to flash any TWRP for going back to stock!:(

As I flashed the inner parts of the 02software above anyway,

I'm now not able to access the download mode anymore and the Imei is gone too.

Did I took the wrong software, it was UK branded? And how can I get my Download mode back?

Thank you so much for your help!!:)

Will I lose data?

I am planning to root my HTC 10 to recover Chrome Tabs (because of the phone switching off while in use, all my chrome tabs are lost). My question here is if I root my phone, will I lose the data? And is it possible to recover these tabs?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zekoslawen:
Is the sunshine root website still OK? When visiting I'm getting an error that their HTTPS cert expired in 2015
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zekoslawen:
New question: Followed the steps in the first 2 out of the 3 videos posted in the OP (unlocking the bootloader and rooting), except I rooted with Magisk instead of SuperSU since the last version of SuperSU I could find is older than Oreo. I've got a (stock?) Oreo HTC 10 64GB, software no 3.16.401.2

After doing this (I think already after I installed TWRP 3.5.2_9-0), whenever I boot the phone, under the white hTC letters I now get tiny red text in Courier font saying something like "This build is for development purposes only" etc. Is this normal? It didn't happen on the video in the OP.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Ok, I have gone through the sunshine to get s-off. it passed all the tests and did the reboot. It is now coming up saying Your phone is encrypted type your lock screen password. I have no lock screen password setup. Not sure what to do here.

Edit typed in 4 "0's" and it said that password is correct, but data is corrupt

Edit I have seen section in this guide: [GUIDE] How-To de-brand/convert your HTC 10 to WWE | CID HTC_001 | MID 2PS620000 abotu data getting corrupt and doing a format data. So trying that now.

EDIT: All sorted. I am now unlocked, s-off, TWRP installed and SID and MID changed too :D

If I updated with the latest OTA will the root method still work? do you have an ETA for the video? can't wait!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] demi9od:
Works fine with the latest OTA. SuperSU 2.72 was too new for me to risk, but 1.53.617.5 OTA working with TWRP and SuperSU 2.71 no problem.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] faericia:
So I am trying to sideload the SuperSu but I can't get it to work. it keeps saying

ADB server didn't ACK

*failed to start daemon*

error:

error:

when i type in adb devices.

Any idea on what im doing wrong?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] O-2-L:
I got that and had to boot into the device again, and decrypt the phone, and revoke usb debugging and run the adb command again and it worked.

But when I tried to sideload then it was giving me an error for ADB being out of date, so I just installed from the sdcard instead.

Phone rebooted a few times and when it booted into android and opened SuperSU app there were no errors.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] faericia:
Thanks. Yeah...just found another video using that as a guide. Looks promising so far.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] O-2-L:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fre$h:
Only S-Off :)

Hi

Thanks all for all the tips written here and there. I just come to receive my HTC10 unbranded, that will replace my good old M7 UL

That M7 was unlocked, S-offed, recovry changed and Flars kernel flashed ;)

I just need a precision here please : At the moment, I only need to gain S-OFF for the HTC 10. I don't care about changing the recovery or gaining root access. My only goal is to S-OFF it to prevent future update to crypt the Hboot .. I will play with the 10 later :)

What is the best way to do that so ?

Do I really need to flash the recovery ? Isn't the HTCDEV unlock + Sunshine APK sufficient ?

Thx by advance
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
SunShine requires root. You can only get root by installing TWRP and flashing SuperSU, as the instructions indicate..
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fre$h:
Perfect, huge thanks for your answer ...

So now I need to find how to do all steps to S-off then going back unrooted and orig recovery back :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
May I ask if the unlock procedure will wipe all data including my photos as well as my music? And can the official OTA be downloaded and installed with unlocked bootloader? Everything else would be stock with no root.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
From the OP:

(bold mine)

If your photos and music are on an external SD card they won't be touched. Otherwise, the above applies.

And yes, OTAs can be installed with an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
It will wipe everything.

What model do you have? US Unlocked or WWE? If you need help determining, go to Settings > About > Software Information and post your Software number

Yes, OTA can be installed with unlocked bootloader.

But...why would you unlock and leave everything stock? If that's your plan, then I don't understand why you don't just stay locked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
I have wwe. The reason I want to unlock it just now because it's still brand new, not much data on it so I don't have too much to backup. It's quicker to do it just now. The other reason is whenever I have more time in the next couple of weeks (very unlikely with two little monsters around you lol) I want to gain s-off before htc pushes more updates out. Then I won't need to be bothered doing the backup and unlock process, just quickly flash recovery and gain root.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
When you S-OFF, you will also lose your data - so better to do both things now.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Gotcha. That makes sense. Captian Throwbacks response was more correct than mine, too. Only internal storage will be wiped when you unlock.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
Hmmm... You are absolutley right. That just rings the bell when I used sunshine with the m7. It actually did reset the phone... So if I go through the step by step guide from the OP, will have unlocked bootloader, s-off. Then if I want OTA updates to download and install I need to flash stock recovery and boot and the "system-image" back from HERE (1.30.401.1) Is that right?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prinz069:
No RevOne

Hi there,

finally my 10 arrived today and Im a pround user of a stock rom based HTC flagship.

Aftercharging it to 100% I connected it to my pc in order to get it first unlocked.

I followed RootNinjas Youtube tutorial and got stuck on this ADB command:

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

ADB gave me this:

C:\adb>fastboot devices

FA64EBN01134 fastboot

C:\adb>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!

OKAY [ 0.234s]

finished. total time: 0.234s

I just want to unlock it in order to flash TWRP and SuperSU. Can't live on stock..What am I doing wrong?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
Reboot phone, activate developer option by tapping the build number couple of times and there you can tick the oem unlock option

edit: Can I ask if you just got your token e-mail by htc via e-mail? Because I submit mine about 20 minutes ago and still nothing. No e-mail, didn't even go in the spam folder. I use gmail by the way...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Yeah I have sent mine a few times and still have not received my unlock token either? Also been about 20 minutes its 3:36 EST here where I am?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prinz069:
Requested it twice. Guess servers might be overloaded :)

Let's see how long it takes. Just got a run....need to bring this to an and now :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
Just wanted to say thanks for this guide and the help I got from people! I managed to gain s-off after waiting nearly 2 hours for my unlock token from htc... The process was very quick and is much easier then it might look. I'm in the middle of restoring all my apps, messages etc... well, that takes looooong... :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Forgive me if this is a ignorant question, but I want to apply system Update 1.53.617.5 now that process is complete.. I'm assuming this is all safe to do so since I am now S off, however since TWRP is installed doesn't it need the stock recovery to install it? Do I just find the OTA FILE somewhere and install it through TWRP? Or is flashing a Rom like Leedroid already have it baked in and don't need to worry about it?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Ok, i get this error after getting unlock code and I tried the above by rebooting, allowing-reallowing developer option, etc:

(bootloader) flash unlocktoken

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp

(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock

FAILED (remote: UnlockToken Verify Fail!!)

finished. total time: 0.045s

EDIT: Fixed. Re-did entire process and a new code was sent: worked.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Guys can you point me in right direction, i need to clear Lee Droid rom off of my Unlocked 10 because after playing around with it, its just not compatible with the settings you have to take to get VZW's network running on it I suspect due to it being an EU based ROM, but the regular wipe/ factory reset is just not working in TWRP? It does the wipe , but Rom still remains? If I go into TWRP's manual wipe settings, it errors out and tells me I need to Format data? Isn't that what I just did? Should I just restore my stock backup I made after first installing TWRP?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Yeah, you have to restore backup.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Awesome thanks will get back on it in the morning. Is this the only way as of now to do custom Roms? I suppose it's just so early in the game and everything is still being worked out?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
To change roms you will always need to either flash a different rom, run an ruu (rom update utility-fully stock) or restore a backup. That's not going to change. A rom is a omplete operating system. It's not just a few customized files that you can simply reset.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Qevinator:
Great stuff man! One question though: in the last video about S-Off when you gained S-Off and are in TWRP to format data. Aren't you supposed to restore the backup you've made in video 1? From what I've read you loose datasignal if you format data/decrypt. Or am I wrong?

Great accent by the way :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prinz069:
Damned it,

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
You have to flash in Download mode (like it says in the OP). That is, provided you already unlocked, as the first step indicated.

when I get to bootloader, fastboot devices doesn't yield anything. any ideas? adb devices worked fine, although I did get 'adb server is out of date. killing...' I got around it by closing the prompt and reopening it
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Sounds like a driver issue. Make sure you have the latest adb/fastboot USB drivers installed if you're using Windows.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prinz069:
Thank you!!

Just tried again and it still boots into stock recovery. And yes, I'm unlocked.

When I restart and press vol down it boots into stock recovery. from there I can start bootloader and go into recovery mode (TWRP).

I went to Wipe and then I selected Wipe userdata (not factory reset) prior to installing Leedroid.

Even though I have Leedroid installed (with S-Off) and have signal every time I boot into recovery it says data is encrypted.

If I choose to protect phone upon boot then I do not have signal.

I am assuming I didn't format data properly, as it doesn't happen to matekaneve, right?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
Here's what I've done:

1.) Followed the guide exactly as written in the first post

2.) Used sunshine - data was messed after as it is stated within the sunshine app

3.) Went back to recovery and I formatted Data

That's all. Now I just checked and every time I go back to recovery it asks for password to decrypt data. I just hit cancel. As said before after I used sunshine twrp never asked if I want the system read only or to modify. I just went and formatted data. Now when went back to recovery after I hit cancel to decrypt data it again comes up if I want the system read only or to be modified. It's just a guess but I assume after sunshine was used and data was formatted I lost the sideloaded supersu application and root access. (I highly doubt though as system was untouched that time) I'm not sure to be honest if I just need to install the supersu app again from playstore then I will have root access or it needs to be flashed again in recovery. Today after work I will restore my stock backup image and stock recovery anyway as I only wanted s-off just for now and would like to take the ota updates in the near future. And also would like to wait until more custom roms are released. I'm kind of picky... :)

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crowsnestitsupport:
Need someone smarter than me to help.. Followed the guide to the T and everything worked great and I now have root and also s-off.... But.. I have the unlocked USA edition with AT&T. Before root I had VoLTE and it worked great. After root the option isn't even in the settings to turn on? And of course it doesn't work. But more importantly, the system partition is read only. Which means apps like adaway and layers can not write to the system folder and therefore don't work. When I use fx root explorer and try to mount as read/write it just says it is read only... Any ideas??
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] braby:
I am glad it asks you the same. :)

That means we are in the same boat.

Also when I try to Wipe Cache and Dalvik throws the same error too.

Try doing the sim card shuffle and see if your VoLTE menu comes back.
