I have not tried a different SD card other than reformatting the one I have.

yes,, this was an out the box htc 10 .... it was downgraded just fine to .8, used sunshine to get unlocked/s-off ...then give me the error i mentioned when i tried to upgrade to .9

I did not get the update to successfully flash with the sdcard. I did watch it as it wrote the .img files to the phone.... HBOOT was the last one I saw and it showed 100% as did everyone before it...then the error came. so if there is something after hboot in the flashing process, it didnt get that far.

but phone boots, software version shows .9, also shows the newest radios and correct OS in download mode ...So I let them roll with it.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
If OS says 1.85.605.9 in download mode, then you're updated.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
If I don't have an SD card, am I able to flash this using the fastboot method? There is no .exe file posted which is the method I was using before.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
Fast boot will be just fine
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Haven't had time to pack that but if you still have c:/Android/com on your PC you can just replace the old ROM.zip with the new ruu renamed to ROM.zip. It will flash it ( though it will say it is flashing old )
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
I have an ADB/Fastboot directory on my PC. Do I just download the zip file, put it in this directory and rename it to ROM.zip, and then follow Option 3?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattie_49:
Rename to 2PS6IMG.zip transfer to your SD. Boot into download mode and follow on screen prompts.easiest way
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
If you used the exe previously you already should have the correct fastboot (these ruu are very picky)
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
It didn't work using Option 3. Got error messages.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Just boot the phone to download mode. And start with the flash zip command.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
I did boot the phone to download mode. You're saying don't put it into RUU mode?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Correct.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
Nope still same error messages in the command prompt, including "22 RU_Header_Error"
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Are you using the exe folder?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
Not sure what you mean. I downloaded the 1.85.605.9 RUU.zip file, renamed it to ruu.zip, then put it in my C:\ADB folder, and then ran the commands in Option 3.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
See post 531 ?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
The very last download in the OP is working fastboot adb exes for flashing this ruu
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
OK I read that, but you did not provide the .exe file for 1.85.605.9. The .exe file for 1.85.605.8 worked fine, but I want to flash 1.85.605.9, so I am not sure why you referred me back to that post?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
Are you using plain fastboot, or htc_fastboot? It should be the HTC version for success.

Put it in the ADB folder.

While your phone is in download mode:

2 steps

fastboot oem rebootRUU

htc_fastboot flash ruu.zip
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
OK let me try that
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
OK. What I said was if you previously installed the last ruu.exe you will have a folder on your pc. Should be c:/Android/com. Inside that folder there's a full working fastboot path as well as the aruwizard.exe (the actual ruu exe). You can place the new ruu renamed to ROM.zip into this folder and have the previous exe flash it for you. That's what I was trying to have you do. Short of that, take note of what I said regarding fastboot use in flashing ruu on this phone. You're using a fastboot version that's not compatible with this phone hence the header error.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
I must have deleted that folder when I previously installed the last ruu.exe. Do you agree with michaelbsheldon's suggestion?

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

michaelbsheldon's suggestion didn't work. htc_fastboot command is not recognized. Is there any chance you will be posting the .exe for this? Otherwise, I will do the SD card method.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Only if you use the right fastboot folder from the OP. Last download link.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
If not doing this with sdCard, download HTC-Fastboot from menu on right side located here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50285

Place it in your ADB folder, being sure it's the newest ADB that dottat mentioned.

Then do commands.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
The link is directly in the OP of this thread to the tested working version for this phone. Wasting my breath trying to explain why it's needed and or posted here.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU

htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

htc_fastboot reboot

Are the Proper commands

[MENTION=5583398]legaldeejay[/MENTION]
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
what he said, that's right
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Ruu mode isn't even required. Download mode is fine.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
OK, just downloaded the htc_fastboot file from the OP. Will report back.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
It....is....coming
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Don't forget to wipe cache and app data for htcdm afterwards if you had been getting nagged to do the OTA.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] legaldeejay:
OK it worked, thank you all
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] artpena2323:
Can anybody help? Need to get back to stock for warranty purposes. I try flashing the Verizon zip and get mismatch issues. Thank u so much.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Have you changed CID/MID and/or using the proper HTC fastboot? If your using a card, make sure its fat32 formatted?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] artpena2323:
Didn't change cid. Using zip file on SD
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
im going on out on a limb here, is it the right RUU? or possibly a MD5 mismatch? the header in the zip file doesnt like what appears to be the correct CID/MID
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] artpena2323:
Yeah. I'm gonna format SD again. Redownload and cross fingers. Lol
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] artpena2323:
Well thanks for the help. After formatting the SD and downloading again off my computer and renaming. It worked. Phew.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattie_49:
Real quick. I've tried to run the 3 or 4 ruu files through my PC. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Download ruu zip rename 2PS6IMG.zip . Now from here I can put on SD card and make work. But I cannot run this same file through fastboot. Nor will the exe's run. I have experience in what's going on have been running fastboot since my m8 yrs ago. So everything is set up properly on PC. I know fastboot is a cleaner install than SD method? Isn't it or is SD method sufficient.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
They flash the exact same. Sounds like your driver for Windows isn't up to date.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattie_49:
I've drove myself mad trying to make it work through fastboot. Thanks for the quick answer.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1ral:
Dumb question...

When I RUU it wont take the OTA, I tried to RUU from an older RUU to "start from scratch"....

Side note...

I am trying to Convert my HTC 10 to the US unlock with it's RUU but still nada... Any thoughts?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Are you using 11111111 as your CID? It won't let you OTA with that CID. use either 22222222, or the correct CID's
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1ral:
I've tried that already, even went back to Verizon CID. I just went back to Verizon RUU/firmware.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
So you tried setting the CID BS_US001 when you were us unlocked firmware/software
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] firejuggler86:
I know it's not advised...I have Verizon too, but I keep it flashed with the unlocked/"GSM" firmware with only the radio from the Verizon firmware...works like a charm.. :D

Just curious...would anyone like me to upload the radio.img files? I never see radio images uploaded anymore, so I've been making my own....if people want radio images, I don't mind uploading them, but I have no idea if anyone else would want them or not.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobert47:
Not sure about others, but I would definitely appreciate you uploading those radio images. More data/options are always welcome in my book lol
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Never? There's some posted in the OP. There's some posted in the convert threads. Never say you?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sethnelson1:
I have the same issue. No GPS lock. It will see the satellites, by using GPS FIX app, but it will not lock on to the location. Aggravating. Multiple factory resets and this guide, no luck. Exchanging device under warranty.... Here's another $15 to sunshine....
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajikUF:
So I guess [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] posted the firmware and rom in his thread to get us over to nougat?

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-10/development/rom-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732

Looks like I won't be getting anything done this weekend.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
Don't know what ROM you're on, but on Viper 10.5.3.0 all I had to do was flash the firmware from Santod's page, then run the "fingerprint scanner/home button fix" for that ROM, and I was good. Didn't need to reinstall the ROM and all my apps. Hope yours is equally easy. :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
Viper 5.3 us already nougat based, now if you did exact same thing you did but in viper 3.5 you would have issues as that's still mm.

Honestly your better off flashing the Verizon stock rom and then running the magisk version of viper. The update is so much faster, 180 mb file compared to 2gb. Plus can be shut off anytime is a great bonus. Configuration settings and everything display proper. All advanced calling features working without issue as I faced with the full rom. Will be easier to update official ota later on.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajikUF:
So you're saying.....

- Flash the new firmware

- Flash santod's verizon rom

- load viper 5.x on top of it with magick

- profit!

(minus the obvious steps like flashing the new twrp etc... just trying to get the important parts listed)

???
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
Yep..

Firmware

Rom

Magisk

Viper magisk version

Enjoy
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lancespahr:
I'm sure it's been asked before, but is it possible to flash an updated firmware without flashing to stock? I'm on US unlocked nougat and would like to get on VZW nougat now that it's out :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Firmware yes....But that would only get you on Verizon firmware. Not Verizon nougat.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yes you would.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Light1984:
Out of curiosity, I keep seeing people say you need a specific fastboot "htc_fastboot" . I've been using the one that came with the Android SDK with no issues. So all my command have just been "fastboot command". I initially had problems with "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" finding my phone. However I changed the USB mode when plugged into the computer to cdrom or something like that. After doing that I could navigate to the drive on my computer and it had the correct USB drives. Pulled those off the phone and I updated ADB device drivers in device manager on the PC and everything worked like a charm after that. Do I need to have htc_fastboot for some reason?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Flashing the full ruu. Sdk fastboot doesn't understand htc's sparse system chunk l@rge zip format.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Light1984:
Ah, OK, glad I asked before I tried to install this RUU. Assume the htc_fastboot is in the guides section of the forum somewhere?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoctorB0NG:
I'm assuming the version of ADB linked in the OP is what's needed: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780554
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Light1984:
Yea I'm a tard, just saw that...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
Just copy and paste the folder contents into my current adb folder on my pc? adb is working fine, but I want to have the htc_fastboot in case I need it!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
That works.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoctorB0NG:
It looks like it already has a adb.exe and htc_fasboot.exe in the folder so you could either put it in your existing folder or just make it standalone somewhere else. Just make sure you either specify the file path, run cmd in that folder or set up an environment variable for your user on Windows.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Personally I extract it to a separate folder and keep a folder for each of my supported HTC devices.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsa 329:
So after installing this to my unlocked 10, everything seems to work great. With the exception of being able to access the internet while on a phone call. HD Voice is active on my account and is enabled on the device. The signal icon switches from 4g LTE to 1x upon placing a call. Also mobile data in settings says "Turning on..." but never does during the phone call. Anyone else that has flashed this to their unlocked 10 experience this?

Thanks

EDIT one other thing, I am super cid. Not sure if this would have anything to do with it?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Factory reset. Then retest
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsa 329:
I have, also reflashed it. This is a newly activated sim as of today.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Not reflash. Factory reset from stock recovery.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsa 329:
I have.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Remove advanced calling from your account. Factory reset and then activate advanced calling from the phone itself.

For some odd reason I'm getting the following error when trying to push the Verizon RUU to my device. I'm s-off and unlocked the bootloader already. I manually changed the CID to VZW__001 and the MID to 2PS6500000. I must be doing something stupid but I'm not sure what :P

I have the same setup with US unlocked firmware and Verizon radio. I would love the updated radio. I just assumed Verizon hadn't updated the radio since like the second firmware update.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pettigrew95:
Quick question: I went to flash the new N firmware (2.41.605.6_NoBoot_NoRecovery_NoWipe_firmware.zip) using the commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 2.41.605.6_NoBoot_NoRecovery_NoWipe_firmware.zip

It said flush so I ran "fastboot flash zip 2.41.605.6_NoBoot_NoRecovery_NoWipe_firmware.zip" again and it was successful. Then I ran "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and got the message:

"rebooting into bootloader...

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 0.010s"

But it still booted to bootloader. I then chose boot to download mode and in download mode under OS it says "OS-1.85.605.8", shouldn't it say 2.41.605.6 now? Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I tried going into bootloader and then directly going into download mode. Then I ran "fastboot flash zip 2.41.605.6_NoBoot_NoRecovery_NoWipe_firmware.zip" without running "fastboot oem rebootRUU" first. This seemed to work. Now on my download mode page it does say "OS-2.41.605.6". I am good to go now correct?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yep. Sometimes needs that reboot-bootloader to flash the second part. You should use HTC fastboot if you can because it will do this for you.

What it comes down to is waiting for not only someone's opinion, which can take forever, but rather a consensus of opinions between many individuals, which theoretically may never happen. Thus, as an example, the multiple years it takes to ever flesh out something like a single USB specification from that particular consortium. They have no impetus to hurry. When they all get tired of working on it and decide to move on to something else, it will release.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattie_49:
I thought surely it was coming. Verizon is really bad with updates apparently. HTC released long ago.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jizzler:
I used the U.S. unlocked RUU from HTC to update my phone. Waiting on Verizon was annoying!

Jizz-led from my Tapatalk
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hgoldner:
Not accurate. Verizon insists on compliance with certain aspects of its network (for instance, 911 compliance) which can create "issues" which will cause them to hold up the OTA. For instance, Verizon has a long history of disabling Powersaver mode alleging that it interferes with 911 compliance. It's balderdash, of course, but that's what their network engineers insist.

Release should be imminent barring any more "gotcha's".
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Another one of the many reasons I left Verizon. When I flashed the unlocked Ruu and popped in my TMO sim and saw all the features simply there for the first time it gave me a good chuckle.
