I went from CID: T-MOB010 to CID: BS_US001. Had problems installing a US RUU (size check fails), but was able to install the HTC unlocked/developer RUU from the website. No problems.

EDIT:

Please forgive the stupid question, but what is WWE?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
WorldwideEdition?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You can just flash if CID and MID matches. Firmware is updated with this RUU of course :)

Correct!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Thx. I wasn't sure about what exactly RUU does. My last HTC phone was m7 so I have some catching up to do ;) Anyway... Just rebranded... Couldn't be happier ;) thx
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] KGMe:
Thanks! Stupid follow up question: What makes it WWE? What would WWE offer over the US HTC Developer RUU that I have now?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Your welcome and feel free to ask if further questions should arise.

Personally I'd say not much. Pretty the same. Just maybe the radio bands. But can't tell for sure.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] KGMe:
Gotcha. Think I'll stick with the US dev version just to make sure I don't lose any radio compatibility.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Is there any difference between using a twrp backup or a RUU?

For me RUU always sounds like doing things "cleaner".

By the way is there already some kind of complete CID list for the 10?

I got mine on Thursday and it's an awful O2 Germany branded phone and CID will be changed but I still don't know which CID I will take. Generic european should(?) be HTC__034 I guess? Or does the WWE Version contain german language as well?

Kind regards
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Got an o2 device myself and took the European CID, which would be HTC__001. It contains German language as well yes. And indeed the RUU variant is cleaner, as all partitions contained are set to a clean start off.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Thanks a lot!

Then I will start off theese days get rid of my O2 branding :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] minnieman:
Just wanted to say it is tested and working on the t-mobile US variant. Thank you for the guide!!! :good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] PunishedSnake:
Did you lose some LTE bands? Since it's the Euro version they don't have US bands
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Sorry for being so noob. This is my first HTC phone and it seems its a bit complicated to change region compared to other phones where you just have to push in img files.

How do I find my MID? I have a Taiwanese unit. Does updates come through to WWE first before any other country? Also when changing region does this mean all apps currently installed will be removed and have a fresh install of the phone?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
So I'm try to unlock the bootloader now and it seems it does not go through:

joeszefs-MacBook-Pro:Desktop JS$ ./fastboot-mac flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... OKAY

writing 'unlocktoken'... INFOflash unlocktoken

INFO[KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp

INFO[KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock

FAILED (remote: UnlockToken Verify Fail!!)

Does this mean my phone cannot be bootloader unlocked? I have enabled OEM Unlocked from the dev options
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Try enabling USB debugging as well. Maybe it will help.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Thanks for your feedback. Great to know that it's works on this version as well :good:

When in download mode use the command

htc_fastboot getvar all

the MID will be one detail of the output given in the CMD.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you activate OEM unlocking in developer options as well as USB debugging!? Another chance could also be that you're using fastboot from the official Android SDK. But in some cases this doesn't work well for HTC phones which is why you can download an htc_fastboot from htcdev.com.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Finally got it to work. I have to download the Unlock_code.bin directly from my webmail instead of my e-mail client. Also created a folder to place in the bin file. Will process with the rest of the steps. Hopefully this will work smoothly. Thanks for the advice guys!

By the way, as soon as I'm finish, am I amble to update to 1.53 provided I have already changed CID and MID to WWE? Also the LeeDroid ZIP file can receive OTA? Or I have to download the 1.53 RUU from the HTC site they have posted here: (http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You'll be able to update as soon as HTC releases the 1.53. Update for his WWE device. No problem at all.

You WON'T be able to update when running a Custom ROM, as ONLY stock ROMs are supported by HTC.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Did you use these CID and MID: BS_US001, MID: 2PS650000 ? How did you flash the Unlocked developer RUU? Did you manually install? Did you download it from the HTC ROM Download here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] KGMe:
Did not mod the MID. From what I read, only needed to mod the CID in order to install the RUU. Connected the phone to my PC, and executed the RUU. The version from the link you posted will reboot into download mode. Just follow the instructions. Was surprisingly painless.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Thanks! Finally I was able to convert to Unlocked/Developer using US RUU by flashing from ZIP (from here). I think in your case you did not change the MID, and it gives an error, though that is just my opinion, lol but all good now.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] KGMe:
Actually the MID for the US T-Mobile variant is already 2PS650000, which was the reason there was no need to modify. No idea why using the zip file failed on me, but I tend to prefer downloading straight from the source anyway, so was pleased the exe (from here) worked. Glad it worked for you though! :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
I see. But I'm happy it worked on my unit. I have the Taiwanese unit from CID: HTC__621. Anyway so just to confirm, are we now able to get OTA updates whenever there's available for Developer units? Do you know the MID of the US/Developer handset?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] KGMe:
Assume so. Guess we'll have to wait for an OTA to be sure! According to this post (by @Behold_this) all US versions have the same MID, including the unlocked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cunnu79:
Thanks for the guide, just used to change cid from T-Mob01(if I remember correctly) to HTC__001 and worked just fine. I'm in Italy and my phone came from Germany with a strange software version(1.2x.111.4), I think was still a branded early version, but now I'm on the latest and with no-brand. THX!!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvsolidx17:
Is there any downside at all to opting to go with WWE as opposed to US unlocked for the T-Mobile variant?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nofroyo:
So I have the T-Mobile variant of HTC10, do I go to WWE or Unlocked model? I just change CID correct? do I need to change the other number too?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Makes no difference. US Unlocked - aka developer edition - is just as fine as WWE.

You need to make sure, that everything matches CID as well as MID to obtain free updates, as the android-info.txt in the OTA will be checked, if the combination is allowed for it to be installed.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TriBeard:
anyone on TMO with jump/jump on demand ever done this? Is it possible to go back to stock, and assuming it is, does the code they get from the dialer somehow check to see if you've been s-off/rooted? I would love to do this but don't want to risk my jump eligibility
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
I think US Developer receives early updates than country based WWE. BUT well never know.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
I thought the dialer code was more a "stolen IMEI" type thing.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Hmm, i think i missed something.

I've taken the Ruu version and all went quiet perfectly until the reflash of TWRP and SuperSU.

After resetting my phone with the RUU i let it reboot and set everything up (WLAN etc). Then i reboot it to downloadmode, flash TWRP again (letting it allow to make changes to /system. Im guessing i have to allow it, haven't i?) and flash the 2.74.... version of SuperSU again. Then i would like to boot into the OS again but i get the "Phone is encrypted, 30 trys until your data get's deleted" mesage.

What am i doing wrong?

Is there no way (yet) of encryting data and rooting the phone?

EDIT: It seems as if my 10 only wanted me to put in my "alternate to fingerprint pin" twice and now it seems to work.

Kind regards
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Great to read the edit, that it worked ????

Thought I wouldn't have TWRP allowed to make hanges to system when first booting after RUU and flash, let SuperSU install and reboot the whole system.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Hi Yoda,

thanks for your reply.

I guess yes, it works.

At least my 10 is running and even the memory status shows encrypted. So this should be ok?

Just for clarification (as i don't find anything written exactly for this point): Are we allowed to grant TWRP the rights to change something to system or just simply always hit no regarding the possibility to stay able to get OTAs?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You only need to mount read only the first time when booting TWRP to backup an untouched system image and then flash SuperSU. After this you can do to the system whatever you want, but have to restore the properly working system image just before you download and later on install an OTA.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Thanks HTCNerdYoda!

I made an "untouched" backup of system image and boot already so i should be safe regarding this :)

Thanks again for your help, it is really appreciated :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Your welcome mate. Have fun with your 10as soon as conversion has been done :good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Thank you!

The conversion is already. But before completing my 10 with my apps, contacts etc i'm waiting for jcase to reply in the thread regarding the possibility to S-Off with locked status.

Sure, i could complete my 10 and make a TWRP backup and restore it afterwards but i want to really make a "clean" start. And (to be honest) i'm too lazy today, too ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TriBeard:
Could be, I have no clue what they're looking for with it.

Does anyone know how you could get back to complete stock without a tmobile RUU? Is it possible or do we just have to wait.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Sorry, me again...

I assume I have to give TWRP the rights to change system anyways as otherwise I don't have any possibility to access the Internal sdcard?

At least in my case not granting TWRP rights for system ends in not being able to access internal storage.

And i wanted to do a clean backup of my system right now but why TWRP tells me that the backup gets 27GB big? It says that data is over 25GB big but it's completely stock, not a single app is installed.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You're using an old version I assume. Up to 3.0.2-0 TRWP has not been able to decrypt userdata. Flash the latest version from twrp.me, which would be 3.0.2-4. It should be able to encrypt the data partition and you can then back it up.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
I'm running 3.0.2—4 as of right now ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] smallfish82:
Thanks for the guide. I managed to do the business and get to WWE from EE locked.

I notice the bootloader reports the correct ROM version but About and DevCheck reporting the original ROM version!

Is this a known issue and is there anyway to get the two to match up please?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Did you take the RUU way. If so both should be the same!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] smallfish82:
I did... (sorry I meant to say that in the post!)

Strange. You maybe suggest RUUing again? (I think that involves wiping/formatting again?)

This might be explaining some issues I'm having with Viper (works fine but sometimes bootloops on setting changes) - but that's just a guess.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
The version number given by DevCheck is the one coded in the ROM. So if you're using a custom ROM as Viper, and they, in the respective file, stil have something different encoded, then that is what DevCheck will present to you.

In download mode the version of the installed firmware is shown, while inside the ROM it'd be the ROM version!

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
What is you carrier? Could you provide prior to giving you an advice, just to be sure it'd be the correct one.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexalanis:
Sure Yoda, thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I bought my HTC 10 here in Mexico City and the carrier is Telcel

Hope I can debrand it.

Alex
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes it should work for Telcel, but I can't guarantee, as I'm using a european 10. Alternative would be debranding it to an unlocked developer/us edition. It's the same regarding the steps, but the CID would then be BS_US001. Your MID doesn't need to be changed in the later case. You then got to download the developer/us unlocked RUU from HTC US.

Be sure to take a backup and just follow my steps and be aware that atm there is no Telcel RUU out to return to stock. Once you're done you'll have to keep it for the time being.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexalanis:
There is the TWRP for 1.02.600.3, does it work to make a Nandroid image backup to have a possibility to return to my telcel rom? is this right?

Thank you again

Alex
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Once converted you'd need the stock android and firmware.zip, or an RUU to update all partitions.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexalanis:
Wow, didn't knew that, I think I'm going to wait a little more to see I can get the Telcel RUU before I debrand it, hope it comes out soon, lol.

Thank you so much Yoda, now I know how I can debrand it at the time I want to.

Alex
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Never mind your welcome!

And yes waiting a while until FIRST RUU hits the market will indeed be the safest way.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] billybob275:
EDIT: I found the answer (Yes to both scenarios) here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3388849

I need to ask clarification on a scenario some coworkers and I were discussing.

Could a T-Mobile HTC 10 be unlocked/S-OFF, converted to the unlocked US version, and then flash a Verizon radio/RUU to use with an activated Verizon Sim?

To complicate this further, suppose this works, then you wanted to travel to the UK and use a prepaid SIM. Would you have service or would you need to flash the unlocked radio and/or ROM again?

Thanks in advance for helping settle this argument!

OTA doesn't show any updates after 1.30.401.1, is this correct?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexalanis:
Hi Yoda,

Today I'm receiving the OTA update of my Mexico HTC 10.

mid: 2PS650000, cid: HTC__332

From 1.02.600.3 to 1.53.600.31 ans is a (430.42MB file)

I need to ask you some doubts: is this OTA just for my cid? is there any way to download this file of 430.42 or it doesn't matter? is this something like RUU? or with this file I could use it for return it to stock?

Thanks again and sorry for my newbie questions, it's my first HTC phone.

Alex
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Hi,

this is a regular OTA for your CID/MID. You can of course download it and afterwards backup prior to de-branding, But without a proper RUU you won't be able to return it to the original stock state.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexalanis:
Hi again Yoda,

Thanks for your fast response, I appreciate all your help.

Ok, and do I need to have root to backup it after I download it? or I can do it without root?

Alex
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You just need an unlocked bootloader as well as the latest TWRP to backup system and boot.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] amq:
You can capture the OTA URL. Have a look at the 3rd post here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297

Only ADB is needed, without unlocking. This ADB installer worked for me from the first try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

OTA is, in fact, a really valuable file, because it contains the stock recovery for you cid, for example. If you capture it, please post the URL in the thread I've mentioned. :highfive:

Little Help....

Sorry If I have missed anyone who may have covered this earlier but I need a bit of help.

I have S-Off'd my device aswell as unlocked the bootloader and gained SU, to use the RUU method do I need to relock the bootloader to debrand to CID: HTC__001 from CID: EVE__001, or is the fact I am S-Off given me the ability to run the RUU file without the need to relock the bootloader?

Any help would be fantastic!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You'll need to change your CID to HTC__001, as well as the MID to 2PS620000, prior to using the RUU method. S-OFF isn't enough as the android-info.txt contained in the zip will check if the combination of CID and MID is allowed.

Quick question.. I am still on 1.30 as no OTA has been pushed to me yet.. is it safe for me to download the 1.80 OTA file which has been posted in the updates thread and flash it myself?

Edit: to give a little extra info if it helps with my question, I followed your RUU method exactly to debrand and get to 1.30.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes you can either download the OTA and flash it manually, or you could change you CID to HTC__J15, as it has already been pushed to devices with this exact CID.
