Verizon Official RUU 1.19.605.9

Thats what I am going to attempt today. We need to obtain Super CID first I believe

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

D, Just want to verify, I want to be able to flash this and then flash the Super SU so I can have a stock VZW rooted Unlocked HTC 10. Is this the order I should go in A: My first step should be obtain Super CID with guide here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-supercid-htc-10-t3374484,

B: Then I should be able to flash this RUU via adb while phone is in fastboot correct? Then plug in numbers needed using my new Super CID access? Is there anything I should look out for as far as in encryption? Im also assuming that I will need to flash TWRP/ and SuperSU once again after RUU flash?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devilman30:
Aloha Dottat,

I know you're strictly a VZW person, however is there a possibility of you making a RUU for the latest unlocked US version... 1.21.617.3 or 1.53.617.5 and post it for us to help out in the US unlocked community? I know based on your skills and proven past performance the unlocked community would be forever thankful!

Mahalo Bro..
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
guessing you planned to try converting as well. Have you tried it yet?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virus:
yeh i changed both and then flashed from sdcard in download mode i still had soff and unlocked bootloader worked like a charm! now im pulling all the carrier files and porting over leedroid ;)

btw 4g is way faster on the stock verizon rom if your on a unlocked version using vzw sim!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
That sounds awesome Virus! Cant wait to try it!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Perfect! I figured it would flash no problem. Much easier way to get an s-off/unlocked vzw phone now...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
guys Ive goy the RUU copied to my fastboot dir, and am in download mode and it will not flash? Do I need to change the name of the file perhaps to 2PS6IMG?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
show me your command line output
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
While in download mode, using command: HTC_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip

and get HTC_fastboot is not recognized

Even tried dragging the zip into the command line and still no go

SHould I be in bootloader mode instead?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virus:
what is your fastboot named? i think its htc_fastboot you have a typo
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
K going to reboot PC and retry. Going to try via SD card method next if I cant get fastboot to take. For SD method, it needs to be in Download mode or Fastboot mode?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virus:
just rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip put on the root of your sdcard boot into download mode and then it will prompt you to hit volume up
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Will do Virus, thanks. Also cant wait to get a hold of a rom made for us VZW guys with the Unlocked 10!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
Thank you!

And just to clarify, this will

not

delete my data, right? All apps and settings I have will remain and everything?

Edit: I apologize, I completely missed this part in the OP!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
As stated in the OP it will NOT wipe.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
Even after reinstalling the update via the RUU I still get constant Google Photo errors. "Unfortunately, Photos has stopped" is the error I get and I can't figure out what is causing it... ugh
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
I have seen some other folks have this same issue. Have you tried wiping app data for google photos and have you also checked that the app has all permissions enabled?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
I just wiped app data (I had done this before) and enabled all permissions (only storage was enabled for some reason) and opened Photos and still have the error :( any other ideas? I feel like I've tried everything... it's driving me crazy
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
would you be open to trying htc gallery?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
Ehh I'd prefer not to. More than anything it bothers me that it's not working as intended. It's like a nagging issue that I won't need happy with until I get it fixed lol but that is definitely a backup, thank you!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Only thing I can think of would be to capture a logcat and see if that gives any hints when it crashes.

Edit_

So based on the logcat it looks like photos is crashing due to some metadata in some pictures. The user above ejected his sd card for me and the issue stopped so it's likely pictures created in a third party folder causing this.

We could try copying off the content , wiping the sd and copying back to see what happens. Though I might copy one folder containing pictures back at a time. Just to verify the offending content.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] klarthur:
I believe I finally found the culprit! After copying over folder by folder I was able to determine that a folder in which I had videos (which weren't even backed up in Google Photos) was causing the app to error out. Once I added the folder the errors started. Once I removed the folder the errors stopped :) Thank you so much to Dottat for your help in determining what was the cause of this!!!

[MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION], do you have flashable radio for original VZW version?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Define flashable
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
LOL, it never occurred to me that the OTA radio in OP is not a flashable .zip until you made me just look. So I guess I'm looking for flashable zips...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
Does the firmware zip include boot and recovery images? I know on the m8 there was a zip without them.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
So are radio flashable .zip files not available/ not possible? How does one swap radios alone?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Flashable via download mode or twrp?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
TWRP is what I meant...used to be one said flashable and folks just assumed you meant from whatever custom recovery was used, at least I did.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
I won't be making those. Not wise to flash radios via twrp.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
You mean anymore? Just on this phone? Used to do it all the time... Haven't had an HTC device since Rezound, so maybe times have changed.

So how does one swap radios only to experiment/test reception?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yes I would not flash a radio partition via twrp. The normal checks are not in place while in twrp. A download mode zip could be made easily, but then you would have to rename the zip each time you wanted to flash it.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
Okay, cool, you are hosting radio.img files...how are those installed?

Something like this?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash radio NAME_OF_FILE_.img
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yes. That's how. Regular bootloader and not download mode.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
Any chance to get the firmware zip without the boot image & recovery?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
I can't seem to get this to work. I can reboot into bootloader but when I give the other command it fails. Any ideas???
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Make sure you are in boot loader and not download mode?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
I'm definitely in bootloader mode. Weird that it won't work. Since I renamed the radio to "image" the command is: fastboot flash radio radio.img

Correct?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yes unless you have extensions hidden and have two img on the end
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
I double checked & I don't.

Here's the message I'm getting...

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
What is the status of your phone...original version, OTA, rooted, ROM, etc?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
S-off, rooted running ViperOne on the original firmware/radio. Any chance you can make a flashable zip of the firmware with the boot and recovery images removed?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovercraftdriver:
That's not my gig man, I just enjoy the fruits of folks labors. So you haven't had need yet to use fastboot commands with this phone? That's why I asked the other question, to see if you had successfully used fastboot during OTA process, but it seems like you haven't done that yet.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
No. I've used it many times in the past on my m8 without any issues. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm not doing right.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] deefster:
I use linux and I was not able to flash via fastboot in the platform utilities for linux, but the sdcard method worked like a charm.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
Hey guys I need some help. I tried to install the firmware zip and now I'm stuck at the white htc screen. I can't get my phone to turn off or reboot into the bootloader or recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
You mean you flashed the unlocked firmware zip I saw you just posted in and now wondering why it won't boot?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
No I tried flashing the verizion one in this thread. I figured I could just reinstall twrp after I did. But I'm not having any luck. I can at least get into the bootloader now & download mode. I just can't get it to install twrp now. Any suggestions???
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
What error are you getting on twrp?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
Here's what the cmd prompt says:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Are you using the fastboot from the op?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
I tried but I couldn't get it to work. It would find the phone when it was on but once it rebooted into fastboot mode, it didn't seem to work anymore.

What about a factory reset?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Factory reset does nothing here. It only wipes data. It does not replace anything with a backup.

If you have an SD card and can wait till I'm done eating I can make an ruu mode sd card flashable.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buddahj:
Somehow I was able to install twrp thru the download mode instead of thru the bootloader. I'm trying to restore my backup right now. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for your help.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Right on man.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbob_sf:
Posts 199 and 200 are exactly what I want to do (firmware only), but it's sort of culling together bits and pieces of reading every post from start to finish. I'm on a Sunshined Verizon model on a custom rom.

1. I'm grateful for the work, so thanks always come first.

2. Is it possible to add steps to the OP on how to simply flash firmware for those of us who have a Verizon phone that was Sunshined and are on a custom rom (Venom/LeeDroid)?

All I want is to nandroid Venom 1.6, update the firmware, (that includes radio) and to get back to custom rom.

3. I've got a stack of old MicroSD and made one fat 32, so I'm good with method 1. Frankly, this seems like the smartest method by letting the phone do what it naturally wants to, you'll need a cheapo one for the life of the phone and an 8 gig card is only a few bucks at this point.

I stumbled through the OP instructions and literally read all posts and I'm pretty sure I got myself back to my starting point. The OP is perfectly(!) tailored to stay on a Verizon image, not just get the benefits of firmware and run for the hills from anything Verizon ;) Ex, if the dev were kind enough to humor this request, how to verify? What is the baseband number or some other method to see the firmware updates hit?

If this exact use case is spelled out in another thread, I apologize for taking up space. Again, awesome work and amazing patience. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I just did sdcard method and it was fast compared to older devices I was pleasantly surprised.

You could prob use ruuveal to get the firmware out of the RUU but I am not 100%

I used this to make a system.img out of the RUU for a ROM I think I saw the firmware, but no idea if it's safe to flash.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
I posted the firmware zip in the op. Just haven't had time to do a no recovery/boot zip until now.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Alright Alright.... Hosting an airshow locally, buying a house, going out of town for work isn't enough...

To all those who hounded me via pm and posts here and elsewhere.. the no boot no recovery firmware zip is now in the op.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbob_sf:
Grateful! I know I'm going to get whacked for asking (either path is fine), but is this a flashable zip or a zip that we use option 1 for a ruu?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Flash able via fastboot or sd. Never will you see me make a firmware zip like this flashable via twrp.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimbob_sf:
Thank you for your work, but I was always respectful of your development direction and only sought clarity, which I think I see.

This is what the lay people want to see (imho):

1. All the zips in this post are only applied via the 3 methods in the OP.

2. The No Boot, No Recovery version is intended for those that have a custom rom (and all the implied root, unlock, s-off set) and just want the Verizon firmware elements for the hardware, including radio.

Thank you for your time when life is our first priority (I run a company, work 80+ hrs a week, and have 2 young kids)

Firmware/Radio fastboot

Could someone clarify my confusion please? I have Verizon HTC 10, bootloader unlocked, s-off, currently running custom Viper10 Rom. Am I able to update the firmware and .22 radio using fastboot adb commands without bothering with RUU and OTA? Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a stupid question.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yes you can simply fastboot flash or sd card flash the .22 firmware that's marked no boot no recovery.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] swebb76:
Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I didn't understand why people were going back to download OTA when they have s-off, so thought I was missing out on something.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
I hadn't posted the firmware zip until earlier this week.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] swebb76:
Ok, I understand now. Thanks so much!!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Sorry in advance for the noob question. I just got my Verizon 10 back from getting unlocked by jcase. It is still on stock with release 1.19.605.9. what exactly do I need to flash to upgrade? Thanks
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
Flash the .22 firmware that's marked no boot no recovery, it's in the OP. :good:
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
If you are using the stock ROM and not a custom one, you will want to flash the RUU rather than the firmware.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Thanks Andy!

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

After running the RUU will I need to flash the latest superSU zip to get root back?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Yep. Twrp and supersu
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Crap. I ran the RUU, but I don't have a PC to install twrp. I figured I could use flashify, but forgot that it requires root ?. Is there a way to do this without a PC?? Thanks. Sorry, I'm still learning.

Edit

Disregard. Got it figured out.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jefe00:
please disregard

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Why is this the case? Just wondering the rationale.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Because if you are stock you will likely want to update the os too. Then flash twrp and RE-root.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoang555:
Is it possible to add a twrp image into your decrypted firmware then flash it through download mode ? I think this might be a solution to get the twrp without bootloader unlocked (this phone was previously s-off)

Waiting for your confirmation !
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
If the phone is s-off you can simply flash twrp regardless of lock status.

I'm trying to flash just the radio update because I don't want to loose my custom rom and internal sd. Using htc_fastboot flash radio xxname.img doesn't seem to be working. It hangs on

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
You can flash the firmware zip that doesn't have stock recovery/boot in it.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] northmendo:
Won't that still overwrite my data/system?

I guess I'll download it and unzip to check.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Two things.

1) No. I made the zip. Why would i tell you to use something that's not what you are looking for?

2) If it did you wouldnt be able to unzip without the correct tools.

Fair enough. I tried to flash it and it still hangs on the fastboot command

It was working fine and then I downloaded and flashed VZW10_firmwareonly1.19.605.22noBOOTnoRecovery.zip by renaming it to 2PS6IMG.zip and going into download mode and flashing. Everything looked normal but when I reboot I only have 3G. 4G not working.

Running Viper 2.1.0

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Probably nothing. You can erase both modems and reboot (volte fix) and see if that improves.

fastboot erase modemst2

Please let me know.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
Sure you could flash it, not sure if you'll run into any issues though like Wi-Fi calling and stuff breaking. You could give it a shot, and flash back if problems occur. I know Verizon wouldn't work well the other way around.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
Not that I have tried it, but I honestly wouldn't suggest it.

If you're wanting a GSM phone, your best bet is to actually buy the Unlocked HTC 10.

Not convert Sprint to Vzw, in hopes of converting to or using it as GSM.

Too much potential for issues with that much conversion, in my opinion.

Buy the device you need, trade it, etc...
