[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
So just to recap, I paypal, pack phone ONLY per sent instructions and wait 4-5 days to get it back.

When I get it back it's S-OFF with unlocked bootloader ready to go?

I want to run Venom, haven't had that since the M8 which was on ATT.

I'm willing to do this of course.

A clip is $100 and I'd do it myself except they tell me it won't work without being updated and (of course) there is no ETA.

I will miss wireless charging, better manual camera controls (especially video) and the contrast of the amoled display (talking about S7E here) but damn SEC screwed the pooch with that one, sad beyond ridiculous standby battery life and a screen more sensitive than a bluejay that has eaten three valiums!

I miss all the customization of Venom that's for sure!

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] for those of us still waiting for APK (can't send my phone in for the service), should we stay on stock firmware, or is it okay to take the OTA?

edit: found the IRC, turns out APK is nowhere near close to done. Could be ages before support, M9 took a year. If you're desperate, send it in.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
This is well established in the thread. Also my OP mentions that the first OTA is safe.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rooseyjones:
But it might not have been safe for those waiting for APK, and I didn't grasp that "no timeline" meant years or ever. Coming from a Verizon brand M8, which I had rooted and s-off within the first month for free, figured the 10 would be the same. My bad.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
You can't blame [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], he works his butt of for us, he definitely deserves the compensation. He's doing the mail in and using up his free time with his family just so we can have s-off. As of right now the method can't be packaged into a apk, thank verizon for that. As soon as he and his team can package it, they'll release it.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] billmcg:
Sent mine out yesterday...what a strange feeling- i had it for a few glorious hours and now its gone. I haven't had a new phone in nearly 5 years - the old one served me well.

Hey folks. I know this is a bit off topic but I thought this would be a good place to share some valuable info if you've gone thru the process of having [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] root your phone. If you still have an unlimited data plan like me and looking for a way to enable Wifi tethering, the information provided in the link below for the M8 still works for the HTC 10. I just did it and it works perfectly.

Can a Sprint htc 10 be made to work on Verizon? :)

Thank you.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yojoe600:

I bought a used 10 on swappa the phone is S off and running stock but it no longer has twrp or root. Do I need to send it back in to have root back? The only thing I'm after with root access is to get a hot-spot working without payment plan so I'm not sure if root is necessary
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
If its s-off just flash twrp from fastboot and then flash supersu from twrp.

I received my Verizon unlocked rooted twrped 10 from jcase several days ago. I ran the RUU to update to .22. I have managed to get twrp reinstalled but cannot seem to get twrp to flash SuperSU. Does anyone have any advice and a link to the su zip that I need. Thanks in advance.

Edit

Figured it out. It is a bad SD card. Put SU zip on internal and flashed fine. Rooted again and learned something!!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
locked or unlocked?

you can just flash twrp and then supersu per normal root guide for this phone

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spinkness:
This may be a stupid question, and please don't hate me for it. But since it only takes you 20 minutes, is there any reason you wouldn't be able to post a walkthrough for it? Or is it because it requires special equipment that the average user doesn't possess? I'm just curious, because I'm not afraid of terminal or anything, so if I don't have to wait for it to be compiled into an app don't want to.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
We require a certain amount of reliability and obfuscability (new word, I just invented it) before integrating an exploit into sunshine. This process doesn't meet that criteria.

--beaups
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gorm:
Obfuscability-----the process of letting beaups or jcase root the VZW HTC 10 or ur phone will be fubar trying it yourself.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] polaric:
Long story short, they can't release their exploit publicly. If they did, it'd be short work for verizon or HTC to patch it.

Thanks.

I'll look into adb backup.

I downloaded Helium last night, and played with it a bit, but it didn't really seem to do a complete backup of everything the way I had hoped that it would.

As an aside on Helium, I paid for the Premium version immediately, based on the description in the Play store that indicated that the free version would back up to SD cards, and that the premium version was required to back up to the Cloud. Since I wanted to do both, I decided not to mess around, and just pony up the $5. I couldn't get SD backup to work. When I wrote for support, I was directed to a Wiki. The first part of the Wiki basically says backing up to SD cards is not supported, and refunds won't be given because of that because one could try the free version.

That left a pretty bad taste in my mouth with respect to Helium, but if it is the best option, I guess I will use it.

Edit: The language from the Wiki--

--

Helium Support Wiki

Since the Kit-Kat upgrade, some devices will not allow you to backup to the external SD card. There is no fix for this. SD card backups are not a supported scenario in Helium.

We do not offer refunds because there is free version to try before you buy.

And from the Play Store description:

Mail in really isn't that bad. I did it with my m9 and went very smoothly. It just gets expensive with shipping both ways. I insured mine for full value so it was $22ish x2 for both ways plus a donation for them using their Java card so I dumped a good $70 or so.
