[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ganuke2kx:
A Question ( or maybe 2 )

Well...... hopefully there are just a few questions I have. But first a bit of a background on things. ( At this point some fellow xda members may already have seen me posting in other HTC 10 related threads here at xda with other questions...... I hope I am not just becoming a bothersome person. )

Anyway that background for those who have not already read about it...... last week I purchased and received a new HTC 10 direct from HTC. I have since " Sunshined " ( S-off / Locked ) and flashed TWRP via adb. I next plan to create an initial backup ( nandroid ) of my HTC 10 while it is still stock system unmodified on software / firmware version 1.19.605.22. ( And.... yes...... I just finished posting in the TWRP for HTC 10 thread with some questions for confirmation. )

After a hopeful successful initial stock system unmodified TWRP backup ( nandroid )...... my plan is then to get onto my HTC 10 the 1.82 ruu from the OP of this thread. I will likely choose either Option 1 or 3 ( and since I already downloaded the file onto my computer and did a MD5 check of it I guess it will be Option 3 via adb. ) Then I intend to do another TWRP backup ( nandroid ) with my HTC 10 on the 1.82 version which I guess is still considered stock system unmodified. It will be nice reassurance to have 2 such backups ( nandroids ) to resort back to for my Verizon branded HTC 10 in case something I do to it in future mods / flashing / etc. results in something screwy.

Having read the OP and the Options provided...... things appear to be straight forward...... not much more involved than having flashed TWRP via adb on my phone a few days ago. But I don't want to be too cocky about it and am wondering if there is anything I should be forewarned about of importance that I may have missed when reading through this thread ?

With a hopeful result of successful initial TWRP backup ( nandroid )...... flash via adb of ruu 1.82...... and then another TWRP backup ( nandroid ) after that...... will my Verizon branded HTC 10 be up-to-date on the latest software / firmware ? ( I have not yet navigated into " Settings / System update " on my HTC 10 and it is currently not my plan to do so ( as I remember reading in the HTC 10 Root thread here at xda that [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] suggested to someone to apply Sunshine, then flash TWRP, and then apply the latest ruu from this thread...... instead of going the route of " Settings / System update " to get to the latest software / firmware. )

But after I get the 1.82 ruu on my HTC 10 ...... if I were Then to navigate to " Settings / System update " will it show / state that I am currently completely up-to-date ? Additionally...... I assume this is the case but just want to make sure...... does the 1.82 file have Everything of the latest available included in it ( such as software / firmware / radio / etc. ) ...... or will I need to also download and flash more files beyond that one to be fully up-to-date with the latest ? Should I First go into TWRP and ' Wipe ' and / or ' Format ' anything first before attempting to get the 1.82 ruu on my HTC 10 ?

I think those are all the questions I have about my plan to get the 1.82 ruu on my HTC 10...... But Yikes I think that may have been more than 2 questions though......

As always thanks in advance to anyone who offers up responses to my post as it is much appreciated. Ideally one day I can be an xda member here who will have gained enough knowledge to assist other fellow xda members with questions they may have.
