[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
I'd try doing a fresh install of one of the combination firmware builds. Those tend to fix issues like this. And then flash a stock rom after the Combination Firmware finishes booting up for the first time. This being my suggestion for the highest chance of success.

If that does not work for some reason. I'd like to know what happened. The second option then would be to root the device and use flashfire to restore a backup of your EFS partition if you have one, or flash the correct modem that corresponds to the installed build you have that reads as SN=0000000
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CroGamer1:
If the phone is logged into his google or samsung account you can bypass the lockscreen with a PC. Just type in (on the PC) find your phone (for googles way) or find my mobile (samsungs way). Log in and select lock my device. Set a new password and it will be sent to the phone. Type the new password into the phone and your in :)

[LG G Flex 2] bliss427:
Hi guys,

So, I rooted my lg g flex 2 cause of overheating problems. The root process went fine but with root I wasn't getting the results I was hopping for, so i decided to unroot my device with the Super SU. It all went perfect and I rebooted to get the thing done. Now my phone keeps optimizing apps and restarts to do the same thing all over again. I can't enter in recovery mode. Tried every tuturial, but it doesn't enter.

What can I do? Really need help guys.

It's a H955 v15c (almost absolute sure)

It sounds a bit wired that the location is not precis.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
This will be a place to discuss and collaborate on any progress towards a root, bootloader unlock, s-off, or any combination of the such for the Verizon HTC 10. I will regularly update this thread with any progress and links to tools required.

What we know

Verizon removed the "Enable oem unlock" option from the developer settings

Using htcdev was forbidden by verizon which makes us require something such as SuperCID

What we have

We have We don't have

Root

Bootloader Unlock

S-Off

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] has pulled of complete s-off with the vzw HTC 10 via Sunshine!

Current method

The current method of getting s-off and root is by [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] sunshine app at http://theroot.ninja/download.html

NOTE: when sunshine asks, turn the screen on and off or it won't work

Notes requested by [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

*Do

NOT

go s-on or relock, as you will have to use Sunshine again

*Taking the OTAs as they come out is your choice and yours alone. If you are already s-off, meaning you sent your phone to [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], then you can take OTAs with no risk. S-Off cannot be undone unless you manually do so, so no ota will remove it .

If you are not s-off yet, the release version and the first and only ota works so far. If you take future OTAs without s-off, you run the risk that [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]'s method may be patched.

*The new update has patched Sunshine, but you can still downgrade and root following this guide. https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/jan2017-root-unlock-s-off-verizon-htc-t3531996

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptko15:
I'm excited for this. Is there a bounty or anything?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
No bounty that I've seen has been started yet, but if someone wants to start one it would probably encourage the devs to find a creative way to get temproot. If we get temproot, sunshine will hopefully be easy to make work on vzw, which will give us s off, then supercid, then unlock.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] blkhrt13:
Keeping my fingers crossed. Probably won't happen though unless it's with a Java card like on the One m9. But after all, it'd only been out on Verizon for a few days. We shall see
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
Get a bounty started, or ask someone to, and I'm sure [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or someone similar will find a creative way to pull it off.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] blkhrt13:
Hopefully so. I think jcase already has it done for the other variants. I feel like Verizon is always the last because of extra steps. It may not happen though since they like to lock their devices down.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
It is being worked on this weekend and next week
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
That's amazing to hear! Thank you [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] ! If you need system dumps, someone to test, or anything at all feel free to PM me. I have a fully stock vzw 10 and I'm happy to provide dumps or test. Best of luck!

Donation Sent

Thanks @jcase for the dedication to the project! I have sent in a donation to help with this effort. I hope more users who wish to benefit from this work do the same! Looking forward to the progress in the upcoming weeks. :D:D:D

EDIT:

jcase is not accepting donations for this project. Please support buy purchasing a license when available!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
Can't wait to see what happens. Would be awesome not to have to ship my phone off for 4-5days again. Not getting my hopes up after the m9 but crossing my fingers!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Thank you but I am refunding it, we dont take donations for pending work. Feel free to buy a sunshine license when supported however!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radensb:
Just saw the refund notification and was wondering what happened! Honestly, I would not have at all minded donating and paying for a license. However, I respect your policies in this matter.

Count on my purchase when it is supported! :good:
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
I just dont feel I'm acting ethical taking a donation to fund a project that we are going to sell, and we also see a lot of people take donations for things never released, so I feel taking donations before release is just making that the norm.

I do appreciate it however!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radensb:
I appreciate your stance and honesty! I'll just have to wait to support with a license purchase then.

I am keeping my phone in a stock, un-updated, un-activated state (haven't even gone thought the setup wizard). My thinking is that keeping it virgin will make it easier to crack. Is this reasoning justified? Do you see any risk in activating/updating and using it? My fear is inadvertently updating security measures that make the unlock process more difficult/impossible. While I can still happily use my M7, it's killing me having my new 10 sitting in the box! But, if there is a potential benefit down the road, its a hardship I can endure.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
I didn't send anything yet but of course I'll buy the license when it's working! If I remember right, didn't you guys get root on the m9 but it wasn't safe and fool proof enough for release?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Sorry I got mixed up on that reply

We actually did finally update it for verizon m9
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
Oh wow! That's good. Is it at all likely the vzw 10 would require the same methods? Sorry to pester, just excited [emoji16]
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Can't comment on the methods, but m10 is very different than m9.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
I second this. Just follow the procedure 2 change the CID for the appropriate Verizon radios, and Flash the official Verizon ruu , and am working 100% with my unlocked HTC 10 on Verizon I even have HD calling! These devs are absolutely amazing at what they Do! Give them some donations if they helped you so they can keep providing these crazy fast results with our new hardware! FU Verizon and HTC! (whoever decided to not allow our unlocked 10's to work) we got peeps that look out for us!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TickleMeHomo69:
Whoever mentioned about having them doing the s-off method remotely, so you don't have to send in the phone could be a good idea. I mean yea Jcase mentioned that the method could be stolen. Of course because people can see what your doing when doing it remotely. BUT team viewer (remote pc client) can allow the person accessing the computer to black out the screen for the other person, so they can't see what your doing. Just a thought if you were worried about your s-off method being stolen.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
it does sound good in theory, but someone could still figure out what was going on even with the keyboard locked and screen blacked out if they have the skillset.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
I talked about it with jcase over pm. The long and short of it is its not gonna happen because its just too easy to steal.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
Yeah, can't blame him for that.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pjd2011:
Yeah, shame I already sold my backup phone or else I'd send it in right away.

[MENTION=5502753]polaric[/MENTION] did he mention any hope of a Sunshine APK release in the foreseeable future?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MortimerR:
If I'm going to be getting the 10 from VZW soon, and want to send it in. How would I activate the 10 and set it up, then switch back to my old (current) device while it's away? Is there an easy way to activate an older device through VZW? I ask because they tend to always make harder than it has any right to be.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
He has every intention of trying to get it into a apk. From what he told me. As of right now it doesn't work inside a app. He's working on it though, give him time.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
If its an LTE device with a nano sim, just swap your sim into old phone. Done
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radensb:
After you activate your 10, you will have to call VZW CS to switch back to your current device. There is a 30 day lockout on the Verizon site to switch devices after you activate a new device (according to the CS rep I spoke with). This is exactly what I had to do after activating my 10, then sending it to jcase to get my M7 back on my account. Once I get the 10 back, I will have to again call VZW CS to switch the M7 for the 10.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Schedonnardus:
it's also harder to patch if Verizon doesn't know how it was done, so i can understand why they would want to keep it to themselves

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

i just popped my SIM back into my m8 and it worked fine. I'm also on a grandfathered UDP, so i don't know if that makes any difference.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
Wow that's terrible! I've always just moved my sim around no problem. No unlimited plan here
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radensb:
I am also on an UDP (the only reason I put up with VZW). When I activated my phone, which came with a SIM card, it automatically bumped the M7 from my account and replaced it with the 10. I tried using the online service to switch back once I got it prepared to send to jcase, but got an error message stating that I could not activate due to "recent changes to the line". Calling CS was all I could do. Maybe this is because I didn't switch a SIM, but activated a new one?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
I called Verizon the other day, there is no 30 day lockout, you can switch at will with no fees. just give them the imei and device id and your good to go. I am on the UDP also, never switched sims always activate a new device
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] radensb:
The inconsistency with this company is astounding. The web site definitely would not allow me to switch back to my M7. It even showed up in the list of my recent devices. Maybe CS gave me a line of BS on the 30 day thing, LOL. I hate calling CS, BTW. I always feel like they are going to mess with my UDP when looking at my account!!! :eek:
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Schedonnardus:
i didn't try any online service, i just swapped the sim.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TickleMeHomo69:
I see an RUU is available for VZW 10. Probably a stupid question (I'm a noob at this stuff) but could we mod the RUU and flash to allow unlock or temp root etc?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
Sadly no, if we changed it it'd break the signing.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
All it would take would be for Verizon or HTC to place an order, and have one of these sitting on the line. Its not detectable from the PC, it silently dumps the traffic from USB to a data file. I use them when analyzing proprietary flashing protocols. It would be game over for our method. I'm not going to discuss this idea any further, we stick to our policies, and have always done so.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:
So basically that thing right there intercepts and logs all data to and from a device and you'd never know it?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Yep, you can also do it with modified drivers, but that is technically detectable.

They run $1200-6000 depending on the model, I love mine
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evocm7:

What about the option of driving to the location instead of mailing it? Before we pay, can you tell us what state we would have to travel to? It would help to know if driving there is worth it.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] btonetbone:
As someone new to HTC devices (but I've been around for a long time), I've got a fairly basic question about S-Off and S-On. I've read up quite a bit and understand what's going on. But, here's what I can't figure out and searching hasn't helped. If we are set to S-Off and receive and OTA update from Verizon, could that OTA reset the security setting back to S-On?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
Nope. S-off is a firmware flag.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
To add to his question, I've s-off every Android I've ever had, but still am learninng. My question is, if we accept OTAs, and something goes wrong like it gets rid of our root or or breaks the Rom, since we are s - off, we just need to Simply reflash an original stock ruu correct? And start over fastbooting twrp and keep on going?
