RUUs will always wipe your phone. If you are S-Off you should be able to find a no-wipe firmware package, but if you are S-On you're out of luck.

Make a backup with TWRP, run the RUU, then restore your backup. Firmware isn't backed up or restored with TWRP, so when you do the restore, the firmware will remain.

Or go S-Off and avoid the hassle in the future.

If he's using a Verizon model and he's on Viper or a custom rom, then he has to be s-off already.

Just grab the latest no-wipe firmware from my stock thread,

sincere thanks. Yes, S-off on this Verizon HTC 10. Thanks to all for reference to the no-wipe firmware updates.

I just checked his phone and firmware is "older" @ 2.41.605.6. the current available is 2.41.605.23.

unsure if primary changes only security-centric or if this may resolve other end-user issues.

I'll press forward with no-wipe firmware update (thanks again) and see if issues resolved. If not, I'll likely wipe/flash the debloat oem Nougat ROM.

Thanks -GA

Hello,

I have a Sprint HTC 10. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, S-Offed with Sunshine, and tried flashing the radio, but didn't get any service. The latest suggestion was to flash this RUU to the phone. I am trying to do this now but -

1. first I tried the SD card method. I got errors - 10 ru_modelid_fail.

2. Next I tried the fastboot method. It sends, but when writing I get ERR Model ID not matched and related subsequent errors, including a final FAILE (remote: 10 RU_MODELID_FAIL modelid in android-info mismatched).

Will this RUU actually make my radio work? If so, what do I need to do to get it stick?

Thanks all.

Apologize for the double post.... I have also posted in this thread, but not sure which one is best. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74454081&postcount=476

I am trying to recover my phone from a reboot loop that occurred after a failed OTA update. In my limited knowledge, I have discovered my phone is LOCKED and S-ON. Firmware on the download screen shows OS-2.41.605.12.

I have tried various [no wipe firmware] files found here and on the other thread that don't wipe data. Every time I get an RU_SECURITY_FAIL error. I am trying both the htc_fastboot method from a command prompt, as well as using an SD-card.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
You're not going to find a No-Wipe firmware for an s-on device.

No-wipe firmware zips are modified zips(made not to wipe)and will not pass security checks on a device that's s-on.

Your solution is a full stock Nougat RUU, which will wipe the device,(as most RUUs do)since there are not any recent RUU files posted which do NOT wipe the device.

I have a question, these RUUs are full firmware packages, correct? So they don't need to be flashed in order like OTAs would? I just bought a phone that is on .12 and is not receiving OTA updates (I assume because I'm using the phone on Total Wireless instead of Verizon). I can just flash the .36 RUU and be good to go, correct?

Just looked in those zips. The modemst1 and modemst2 images aren't in there. I think they're supposed to autogenerate based on some other partition that was set by the factory, but the Sprint ones seem to disable connecting to Verizon LTE, even with the Verizon radio. (2G/3G works but not LTE)

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
You can't get OTA through verizon without a working sim. Do as you said and get flashable OTA zip files from here, or flash a stock custom rom made for Verizon. Or run the latest RUU as it becomes available.

free to a good home: 1x Verizon HTC 10 RUU/Radio/Firmware thread. Slightly used, has a faint odor, and a couple tears.......

To All: I have recently sold my phone, and moved on to the essential phone (amazing phone, works pretty well on verizon....if your looking for a phone to move to, they are super cheap on amazon right now). With my time being tied in the marvel that is GCAM porting and our quasi-RUU support there, i have had little time to maintain the thread, let alone test anything that comes down the pipe.

If any hanger-oners to the Verizon HTC10 would like to take over ownership of the thread, feel free to PM me. I wont close the thread, but i dont have a way to check for updated firmwares (kisakuku has left the building).

I'll help ya

I took over the ReZound site in the end before I got my HTC 10. Ran out of time for the Rez and then spent what time I had the HTC 10. Don't know a whole lot but I will join you and help when I can. I am retired but have a part time job at McDonalds. And I have a GSD/Husky. The last two are what took my time away from the Rez. Mainly the GSD/Husky. Wanted more of my time than I expected.

Anyway... I am not overly intelligent -but- not stupid either. I bought two i7 machines to do the compiles for the Rez Cyanogen ROM's... and in the last days the ROM's came from me. Haven't got set up for the HTC 10 yet cause the need wasn't there. With this latest release of Oreo... the need may have arisen. So IF you want I can work with you on this. I will probably have to relearn a lot before I am a very big help.

Take care,

-Chuck
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hgoldner:
Had the Rezound for almost 3 years while I waited for the next big thing from HTC. The M7 was inadequate (no removable storage), so the M8 was my next handset after the Rezound. Things have changed quite a bit since the days of the Rezound and the wire trick. Now we have to deal with Safety.net and system partitions that can't be updated after they are written to and many more complicated ways the powers that be block our ability to customize our handsets. But thanks for the offer. I don't anticipate that we'll see any more OTA's for the 10, but if we do, I'll try to capture it and be sure its here and, if possible, the component parts are made available (firmware, recovery, boot, etc.).

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ganuke2kx:
The brief explanation of the issue and question related to it that I have :

I have had my HTC 10 on the 1.85.605.8 verizon version of Android for quite some time. I just updated it via Fastboot RUU mode ( Option 3 in the op of this thread ) to 2.41.605.36 verizon version of Android. Initial finding is that all seems to have flashed fine with one major exception...... that being my mobile data 4G LTE does not work. I am wondering why is that the case ? And what can I do to fix this problem ?

The more detailed explanation of the issue and question related to it that I have :

As I noted in the brief explanation above...... After flashing the 2.41.605.36 RUU via Fastboot RUU...... my HTC 10 no longer has mobile data 4G LTE ability. When I select to turn on mobile data it displays " disconnected " in the settings but the 4G LTE icon in the upper status area of my HTC 10 does light up as though activated. However there is no movement of the arrows and nothing can access the internet through mobile data. I can set up a wifi connection which does function properly though.

Within the mobile data settings I have selected to " Deny data roaming access " ...... Network preference generates a list but nothing appears to be selected in it ...... Preferred Network is set to " Global mode " ...... Under CDMA options Access point names has just one selected listing of " VZWINTERNET " ...... and Roaming state is stated as " Not roaming. "

Based on searching for others who may have had this issue within this thread I noticed a suggestion to format / factory reset the HTC 10 in stock recovery. So I performed a 2nd flashing of the 2.41.605.36 verizon version of Android via via Fastboot RUU and after it appeared to have successfully completed I issued the " htc_fastboot reboot " command to which my HTC 10 fully loaded up beyond the Verizon logo screen in around 6 minutes. Then once at the main HTC 10 home screen I shut this device off. Next I proceeded to the stock recovery ( via power & volume down combination button press / reboot to bootloader / Boot To Recovery Mode ) and selected to " Wipe Data / Factory Reset. " After that completed I then selected to " Reboot System Now. " Once my HTC 10 fully loaded back up to the main home screen I again proceeded to " Settings " and selected to turn on mobile data. Unfortunately this 2nd attempt has been met with the same result of mobile data once turned on displaying " Disconnected " ...... the 4G LTE icon in the upper status area lit up...... but no data movement of the icon arrows and I still cannot connect to the internet through mobile data.

At this point I am at a loss for what to try / do next in order to get my 4G LTE mobile data working again as it had been when I had my HTC 10 on the 1.85.605.8 verizon version of Android. Any advice / suggestions will be greatly appreciated with a thanks in advance for any helpful input.

First make sure you have the Nougat FIRMWARE flashed (you don't, you just flashed the ROM.)

Then reflash the ROM.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ganuke2kx:
I take it this post response from you is intended for me ? :)

As mentioned in my previous post...... it has been quite a while since I last flashed an RUU to my HTC 10...... and don't recall having first flashed a firmware file to it prior to the RUU file. That must be the part I missed causing the 4G LTE not to function now. Thank you for the prompt reply. If I could bother you further...... could you link me to the proper HTC 10 Android Nougat file that I first need to flash ? I did a quick search in this thread but did not find one ( and the listings of firmware files in the op of this thread I am guessing were for the MM Android versions...... with the latest one for 1.19.605.22 )

So first ( find ) and then flash the latest HTC 10 Nougat firmware...... THEN once again flash the 2.41.605.36 RUU from the op of this thread then all things on my HTC should function properly ? Can I do the firmware and then RUU flash all by the same Fastboot RUU mode method...... and at the same time back-to-back ( or does the phone need rebooted between the 2 flash actions ? )

It has been over a month since your latest reply of assistance to me in my venture to update my HTC 10 from Android 6 Marshmallow to 7 Nougat. Your advice of matching Nougat firmware flashing first and Nougat RUU flashed second seemingly worked...... Along with the additional steps of my then needing to do a factory reset followed by proceeding to " Settings / System Update / Check for new system update " ...... After doing that last part my 4G LTE mobile data started functioning.

I have meant to thank you for the help you provided. Unfortunately it may have been all for naught. My HTC 10 has become a battery nightmare practically needing to be tethered to a power source 24 / 7. When not connected to a power source and the status bar battery shows 70 % it is only a very short time until it bootloops. At that point the only course of action is to vol. Down + power button combo press to download mode and select to power off my HTC 10...... Then connecting it back to a charger displays the battery is actually at around 8 %.

The inconvenience of needing to be tethered to a power source in this manner throughout the day has prompted me to now be in the market for a new smartphone. ( Though I may first try to upgrade to Android 8 Oreo and see if that magically solves this issue...... But I think the battery in my HTC 10 is ' caput '. ) It is a shame as apart from the battery issue my HTC 10 still runs like a champ.

Researching now for a new smartphone is leading me to think there are only 2 options that tick the boxes of my wants...... Among those wants being latest hardware with a Good + camera, SD card slot for storage expansion, and ability to be rooted. It appears the 2 smartphones to come the closest to meeting those wants are the LG G7 and Samsung S9 ( and unfortunately it appears presently the want of root may not happen with either of those 2 smartphone options [ Snapdragon versions. ] )

I suppose I could deal with my always-needing-to-be-tethered HTC 10 a little while longer to enter the U12 in the purchase running ( that I presume will be rootable ) but I will be concerned of having another battery nightmare with a HTC smartphone......
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
Why not just replace the battery? Certainly cheaper than a new phone. Take it to a shop, or try doing it yourself (there are YouTube videos on how to, and the battery is on Amazon).
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hgoldner:
That's a shame. Lithiums can die unceremoniously like that, but others go on forever. I have an ipod classic that still runs well. The battery life isn't as good as out of the box, but it still works for cross-Atlantic flights. One option is to swap batteries. Another is to make sure that there aren't background apps that are chewing the heck out of battery life. Usual suspects are live wallpapers; background connectivity apps; keeping GPS in "high accuracy" mode. Finally, there are alternate kernels that offer a lower power mode that isn't as punishing as "powersaver" mode. That's one reason I use [MENTION=298610]Flar[/MENTION]'s ElementalX kernel. I almost always run my 10 in the kernel's powersaver mode. I doubt I could get a full day on my 10 any more, but I keep it charging in the car and in the office, and when traveling I always have an external battery available.
