Thanks man. you saved my phone.

But I couldn't use ruu.exe until change my CID to 11111111.

BS_us001 with MID 2PS650000 got error 133. I don't know why. (I want to use official us ruu.)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you use the US unlocked RUU after changing your CID/MID to the above mentioned?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] kamkar:
yes. I use 1.96.617.2 (Come from 1.95.401.4 unofficial from that Stock thread)

MID: 2PS650000

CID: 11111111

s-off

bootloader RElocked

and exe ruu worked great.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hystryxen:
I'm using HTC 10 unlocked asia version. Could i just download the official Nougat RUU and install it?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
If you follow the steps in this thread, then yes.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Correct. Thanks for jumping in for me [MENTION=3862046]Tarima[/MENTION].
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ian.anindya:
Hi,

Since RUU.exe is available, is it possible to simplify step to de-brand?

I'm going to move from Taiwan version to International unlocked.

S-off sunshine

Change CID and MID (is it works without root?)

Run RUU .exe International unlocked version.

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
I'd always prefer to use a RUU.zip and let it flash vow SDCard method mate. But you could, with the RUU.exe de-brand to US unlocked, as - as far as I know - there's only one for this variant. All WWE variants are RUU.zip files.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ian.anindya:
Thanks.

Is it required s-off to change CID MID.

When sunshine can do with temp root and if changing CID MID can do without root, there will be short step to convert.

Yes. RUU.exe US unlocked is available.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes you'll need S-OFF as it is mandatory to change CID and MID for the RUU to flash successfully and be able to receive the official OTAs thereafter.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] byron_mh:
srry im a little noob, there is no plroblem if i change MID 2ps65 to 2ps62 ??

And then i flash the zip (us unlocked ) ???

Even if i have a version upper than the .zip ??

thnks :3
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
As long as you're using a GSM device all should be fine and a conversion is possible. I didn't update my thread yet, but for US unlocked the 2.38.617.9 RUU should be used by now. And again do this only on a GSM device.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Hi all,

As I've red I can convert WWE (HTC_034/2PS620000) to US Unlocked (BS_US_001/2PS650000). Make me sure pls!!

Also if I want to restore to factory state, I just change back the original cid/mid and ruu the wwe, then I can S-ON?

Is there any known security vulnerabilty by leaving the phone S-OFF?

With S-OFF, what partition do I need to flash to not reach download mode anymore so i can't unbrick? These are for what not to do ??!!

Thanks i advance and Happy New Year guys ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Hi.

Some answers for you mate:

1 and 2) yes it is possible to convert to US unlocked as well as back to WWE

3) for security OFF read up about what S-OFF exactly means

4) I don't understand your unbrick question mate. Could you please make clear wath exactly you're talking about.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
3) I've red this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680928

I'm thinking of being vulnerable by s-off. So if any partition can be altered, some app with root access or perhaps a virus/malware could **** it up.

4) how easy to brick my device? (I know it's an odd way of asking this) So for example if the hboot and aboot is untouched, but any other partition has been changed, can I use RUU? Does RUU need only the download mode? And where/which partition "stores" download mode?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes sure S-OFF makes your device vulnerable with respect to what you can do, and what Apps can do to it after gaining root permission. Root itself is a vulnerability already. This should be clear to everyone. S-OFF is in kind of a way even more, as you can flash to every partition. So you'd have to be really careful with what you do.

There are about 66 partitions whereof we know just a few - and even those not in detail:

system

data

recovery

radio

preload

hboot/aboot

download

Tinkering with the first of them seems to be all fine as long as you flash the correct contents to them. But it is never guaranteed that nothing will happen. Especially on the 10, which is by far the most *****y HTC device if ever had.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
I got you. What if a blackout happens during flashing system, recovery or radio. Am I going to be able to restore my phone with RUU? As I know RUU just needs download mode. What is the booting order among the followings: download mode, hboot, aboot, preload, boot?

Thank you mate ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes. /radio can always be flashed from download mode, as well as /recovery. /system is always flashed from reovery. Thus all should be fine in those cases, as you only got a "soft brick" which will be recoverable. Best in those cases will be ti run a RUU as you already guessed in your post.

hboot/aboot are the same. What was once called hboot is named the aboot nowadays. Thus this would be the first partition booting. From there you can reach /download, /recovery, as well as /boot and - by the last one mentioned - /system. /preload can only be copied as a flashable image, using adb if you're rootet. It is only used on the first boot, to define which carrier specific apps - bloatwarez - are going to be installed.

Edit: you don't need to quote me every time mate. I'm monitoring my own thread quite closely ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaddr18:
i already convert my phone to us unlocked now with s-off i get ota updates? or i have to s-on?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
If you're fully converted and on an official RUU you'll receive all OTA even though you're S-OFF. No need to go S-ON. Keeping it S-OFF may come in handy later on.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Yeah I was thinking about the same 5m4r7ph0n36uru :D (not to quote every time)

One more question. Can I use BS_US_001 CID with WWE MID (2PS620000) ?? Or I need US MID for US CID?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You need US CID as well as MID. Those would be

CID: BS_US001

MID: 2PS65000
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Perfect !! I just won't get one LTE band, the band 8, if I remember well. But every other European bands are in the US version if I remember well :) Am I okay?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes you're good to go. Of course take care performing those steps, as they are on your own risk.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Sorry, but you missed one zero in MID.

I just S-OFFed. Locked bootloader. And I can fasboot getvar all, but can't change cid, mid. However it says okay after put "fastboot oem writecid BS_US001. Than I put "fastboot getvar all" and it stays the original CID. What's the problem? I'm using minimal adb and fastboot... Thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you reboot to download mode after issuing your command!?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
I was lame, that was the problem thx a lot ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Hi,

Restored the latest firmware using ruu I downloaded from HTC US website. I have that red message when I start my phone up that says: "This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission ..." Is it okay when I'm using stock rom without root ?? BS_US001 is dev or unlucked US, or these are the same?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
US unlocked is indeed the same as developer edition. Not sure entirely, but the warning could be triggered by unlocked bootloader or S-OFF state as well. It definitely gets triggered by flashing a custom kernel - what hasn't been done in your case.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
I did another restore but the problem still persist. Maybe because S-OFF? But I don't think so. It should only appear when bootloader is unlocked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Would be interesting to see what happens after flash of a full 2.38.617.9 RUU and going locked/S-ON thereafter.

As locked/S-OFF behaves the same way unlocked/S-OFF does it's really logic that this text still gets triggered.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Actually It does not bother me. However Usage data and error reporting seems mandatory. Is it the same on the US Unlocked phones? I mean on the factory S-ON US Unlocked phone. I don't think that a norman man want a phone like this.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
Do you have any idea why 4G on my status bar if I have just 3G by my provider? I have made sure i'm on 3G (hspa), but status bar shows 4G!!?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Don't know why, as those symbols are triggered by the actual frequency of your LTE band. Might be your carrier let's you log onto all possible cells but throttles your speed by a server side setting.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] YrrchSebor:
Sorry if this is a basic question but I promise it''ll be quick :) Can an international unlocked model be converted to a North American unlocked, or is there radio band hardware that can't be altered? Just wondering if an international unlocked model could take full advantage of T-Mobile's network, by flashing a different radio or whatever.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
I just done with that. So yes, it's possible, since the hardware is the same. Just make sure your mid is going to be: "2PS650000". CID: BS_US001. Read back, and the last few posts are gonna be ur friends. ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] YrrchSebor:
Thanks! I have the option of snagging an unlocked model, possibly international, at a great price. But I have TMO service. Thanks again, got a bit confused with all the models and such.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lacxp:
It was okay on wwe version. I'm on UPC mobile that is a subnetwork of Vodafone Hungary. It doesn't have 4G. It's definitely HSPA+, i double checked and took a screenshot I attached here.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thietch:
Hi everybody, noob here! I followed successfully this guide until point "flash WWE firmware (currently 1.30.401.1) provided by [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] here", but now I get the message from cmd "error: canno load 'firmware'"... Did I something wrong (I guess so)? Can I do something about? thanks a lot and great guide!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Just to make sure: you're S-OFF and renamed the zip correctly. Check if it is 2PS6IMG.zip. if you don't show known file extensions it can easily be 2PS6IMG.zip.zip.

To be honest try to follow the RUU method instead of the backup method. That's much easier.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thietch:
Thanks for your quick answer! I am S-Off and it's not a ".zip.zip" issue, I really don't understand! You're right, I'm gonna try the RUU methode, but I just have a question about it: I don't understand what is meant by "root directory of SD card" (yes, I'm at THAT level)

Thank you again and have a great evening!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
It means you just should not put it into any folder.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thietch:
Thank you, I tought that I had to find an actual "root folder" in my sd card, I just misintrpretated the instructions! Working fine now, thanks again for your guide and help. Have a nice day!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bngesc:
Can someone tell me if I can convert my US unlocked (65000) to a WWE model (62000) and also flash the relevant WWE firmware?

I've read that the US version supports more/different bands, but I'm in europe anyway, so converting it to WWE would be cool.

It's already S-OFF and super CID, I'm just hesitating to change the MID as I haven't found any information on what happens when you flash the 62000 firmware onto a 65000 device...

If it's too risky or something it's not really an issue, having the US model is a mere inconvenience and not really a problem. (Doesn't support my language by default etc)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
In general it is possible to do so. I read of some who did it. But all European bands are also present on US unlocked if I remember correctly. Thus no need to convert AFAIK.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bngesc:
Do you have any links to people talking about it? I'm afraid the different firmware will screw up something really important (aboot, etc).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chinseng85:
I wanted to convert my stock Hong Kong unlock set to US developer set

below are the initial system info:

-1.96.708.5

-s-on

-bootloader locked

-stock recovery

-cid HTC__622

-mid 2PS650000 2PS620000

I have just achieved s-off via sunshine app and changed cid & mid

now my system info as below:

-1.96.708.5

-s-off

-bootloader locked

-stock recovery

-cid BS_US001

-mid 2PS650000

May I know, after s-off and change cid & mid, can I just flash the RUU.exe or RUU.zip to convert my phone from HK WEE to US developer edition?

Or I have to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery then only able to flash RUU?

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You are good to go. Next step would be as described by you: flash either RUU.zip via SD card method, or RUU.exe from PC.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chinseng85:
Thanks for the promptly reply. I just noticed my initial mid is 2PS620000 not 2PS650000. So when I tried to flash the ruu i received modelid mismatch.

After I've change the mid to 2PS650000, I'm able to flash the RUU.zip.

Thanks for the help
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You're welcom. This is what this thread is for :)

Will update the first posts with the proper information to de-brand to US unlocked this evening. Glad it helped without such information stated already.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chinseng85:
I have a question, now i have fully converted to US unlocked ROM, I wanted to flash the WWE radio extracted from the 2.28.401.9 RUU. Will my future OTA work as usual?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You should reflash the full US unlocked RUU - including the US unlocked radio. All WWE radios are also part of the US unlocked. US unlocked has even one more band as far as I remember. If you leave the radio WWE, OTAs might not work properly.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chinseng85:
I see. Because I noticed after I converted to US unlocked, the network icon on the status bar there kind of weird. For example, when my phone connected to HSPAP, the icon shows 4G but not 3G or H. Do you know how to fix it?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Well that behaviour is absolutely correct. What you see is the technically correct naming of the bands, which are again split up into details. Those would be

2G: GSM (7.2 kbit/s), GPRS (53,.6 kbit/s)

E: EDGE (4 times fast than 2G)

3G: UMTS (384 kbit/s), H (also shown as 3G+ or HSDPA, 7.2 Mbit/s)

4G: HSPAP (also shown as H+ or HSPA+, 14.4Mbit/s), LTE (up to 100Mb/s)

In Europe e.g. 4G is split up and shown as H+ and LTE separatly to indicate the difference in the respective speeds.

There already is a newer standard

LTE-A: LTE+ (up to 1Gb/s)

which at the moment is mostly shown as LTE or 4G es well, and thus doesn't have an own symbol.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] simplex19:
sorry if I sound abrupt, but could I check with you if your phone still passes Google's SafetyNet after flashing US Unlocked RUU? I presume you are still running stock ROM and are unrooted.

I did something similar with a 2PS620000 HTC 10: S-off with locked bootloader using Sunshine, CID and MID change to BS_US001 and 2PS650000 and finally flashing US Unlocked RUU from HTC.com. Now this device does not pass SafetyNet. Didn't expect this behaviour and am trying out solutions not involving root/Magisk. Would appreciate any insights.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Which version of the RUU are you currently running on your HTC 10?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] simplex19:
I'm running the US unlocked 2.41.617.3 version from htc.com us rom download page. Thanks for the help. For what it's worth, I do have the red warning text shown below the htc logo on reboot, though my bootloader is locked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrshakurr:
I have a Sprint edition of the phone and I keep getting error 155 when running the RUU.exe and I don't get how to flash the zip file from download mode cause that's what it says in the instructions. I also S-off-ed with Sunshine and I've tried both bootloader unlocked and locked. Any help would be appreciated.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] simplex19:
Well, I converted to WWE version to match my original MID (2PS620000) and now my problem is solved. Appears that changing MID from 2PS620000 to 2PS650000 for the US unlocked RUU is not enough for the kernel to be properly verified, resulting in the red warning text. Would recommend people who owns 2PS620000 devices wanting to stay stock and unrooted and passing safetynet to not use US unlocked RUU. thanks [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] for the support advice.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Re-download the ZIP file.

22 RU_HEADER in most cases is an error with the ZIP file itself

I double checked it: md5 of my download matches the original one. Alternatively you could try the latest WWE RUU.exe 2.41.401.3 from here.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeoleo7:
I tried BS_US001 and Super CID 11111111 in my HTC s-off and locked status. It shows firmware mismatch.

I feel like I cannot downgrade to any. I tried US unlocked 2.38.617.8.

what should I do?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you change your MID as well?

Another CID would be BS_US002.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeoleo7:
Yes i changed the MID too. Changed it to US. I doubt mine was 2.401.3 EU and I'm flashing 2.38.617.6.

Since i'm s-off ed.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
So then try BS_US002 and report back mate.

Just [MENTION=5271437]jeoleo7[/MENTION] damn me. I have a typo in my manual. MID is the problem as it should be 2PS650000, whereas the WWE is 2PS620000.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
You can change your VZW 10 to U.S Unlocked. Not sure about wwe. Since you're already s-off just change cid and run an unlocked ruu.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
As [MENTION=3862046]Tarima[/MENTION] wrote, it should be possible. Can't test it though as my device is a GSM variant and thus de-branding has been quite easy.

Sorry for the late answer. I've been away for a few days and couldn't monitor this thread as closely as it should have been done.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
So, what are the steps if i want to go back?

What i have is when i enter Download Mode:

Unlocked, S-Off and CID: "HTC__001"

Software-Status: offical

so what i've done:

- flashed new twrp

- have installed "2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UHL_N70_SENSE80GP_MR_HTC_Europe_2.41.401.3_Radio_1.0.U010241a@61226_79.07_F_release_493442_signed_2"
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
So i make that with TRWP, how can i go back? because its a "Downgrade".
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Why'd you go and downgrade later on?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for work the last few days.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
No Problem, you`re welcome!

I want to rebrand my smartphone, or to get the original state back.

For using the OTA and so on. And some days ago T-Mobile Germany released Android 7 for the HTC 10.

I flashed a RUU after debranding, so the OTA might be untouched.

But i'm not Shure.

And T-Mobile said if i use a debranded Smartphone i couldn't use VoLTE and WlanCall.

My Phone said Software-Nr: 2.41.401.3 but i didn't get the OTA for 2.41.401.4.

Is my thinking wrong?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
2.41.401.4 and 2.41.401.3 are both the same. .4 just fixed some things for users in the netherlands, and both will be updated to the next version. Thus you're already on the latest ROM for WWE. But check in phone app > 3-dots menu if there maybe is VoLTE in there.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
There is no VoLTE in the Menu of the phone app :X
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Only idea to get a branding free device would be to convert to US unlocked and check again. Otherwise you'd be stripped of VoLTE and WiFiCalling.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
It dont have to be unbranded..

So if there is a way to get branded back with OTA i would be happy :D.

It might be help if a have a friend with an untouched HTC10 with T-Mobile DE Branding? And he would bought me that for this?

Just saying.. i make a nandroid of my Marshmellow.. but that would be a not so easy downgrade?

Thanks for you're help and patience
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
To go back to T-Mobile you're in need of an untouched system image as backup, as well as the fitting software. This you could restore the system image, flash stock firmware and all would be as has been.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
But for this i have to install twrp on the phone of a friend right? So wouldn't it be touched with that?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Which has been your original CID and version number?

[Edit] damn just saw you're on german T-Mobile. Sorry for that one. Well then it'd be US unlocked. But I'll try to find some files for you.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
[MENTION=7873691]xait0s[/MENTION] here's the lates german T-Mobile Stock RUU I found: 1.53.111.7, and here's a post with all OTA.zip files. But be carefull downgrading. There've already been bricks during this procedure on other devices. Please take into account that I'm not responsible for any bricks, and/or problems occuring by and during this process, if you'll decide to do it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xait0s:
No brick for me :D. I changed Cid back to T-MOB101 and then flashed ur 1.53.111.7 . And Now i get without any more flashing the OTA for 1.80.111.1

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
