No it doesn't. A RUU can only be flashed on a device with matching CID/MID combination. So to flash US Unlocked you got to change the CID/MID accordingly.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fmedrano1977:
a ok. so I didn't give out false information then. He's converted, so no longer on the original firmware and no longer on the original CID. To change the CID back to the original so that he can run the original RUU, he must be S-OFF.

You didn't read my comment well.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
I think he's referring to going back to stock and locked status instead of re-locked for warranty purposes (from and earlier comment of his), but from what I understand unlocking the bootloader doesn't void it anyway.

My HTC 10 have no guarantee now, so I chose to convert from Telcel - Mexico to US Unlocked, and trust me Telcel sucks! , I really dont want to go back,then you guys recommend I leave S-OFF/Unlocked or?

I'm s-off..flashed firmware us unlocked ,leeDroid v5 Oreo TMobile.. I'm overseas on vacation,can't seem to use a sim card to access , network says network locked ... what are my best options ?

Is this a simple fix with a factory restore wipe and choose another setting,or can I flash a no wipe firmware to gain access to another sim card ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fmedrano1977:
What you need is Sim unlocked, no firmware/software well achieve that for you. If I recall correctly, there is a thread on how to accomplish that on here. Or you can call your carrier, if the phone is paid for they should give you the code.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] w69:
You need to convert it to US unlocked as described in OP. It will carrier unlock your phone and will erase all carrier related apps such as T.Mobile app lock.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Uzair1124:
Hi

I have a Sprint variant with S-Off, unrooted stock software, and I wanted to change it to a T-Mobile CID so I could use it on that network. Using the T-Mobile sim on Sprint phone gives some connectivity problems. Would I have to fastboot it and write the CID to the T-Mobile CID? If I do that will that solve my connectivity problems?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Simply changing cid won't do anything. Flashing the T-Mobile ruu won't help either since you need to have the Sprint radios, as far as I know.

Depending on what you mean by connectivity problems, you may want to look at the Sprint Htc 10 forums on xda for the LTE band unlocking thread.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Uzair1124:
Would flashing the unlocked RUU do anything? I thought that the unlocked/T-Mobile/Sprint phones already have all the band support for full coverage, and that flashing the unlocked or T-Mobile RUU would allow me to access these bands. Because the Sprint RUU doesn't allow the network mode of LTE/WCDMA/GSM which is what you need for T-Mobile. I think it's just a software limitation but I'm not sure.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
The Sprint variant has some bands that are locked, compared to the Unlocked variant. I don't thing you'd have a working radio if you flash the Unlocked RUU
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Uzair1124:
What exactly do you mean I wouldn't have a working radio if I flash the Unlocked RUU? I don't understand. Wouldn't flashing the Unlocked RUU give me full band support?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
If you run the Unlocked RUU, it'll include also flash the radio partition with the Unlocked ones, which won't work on your phone. As I said earlier, you need to install Sprint radio files on a Sprint variant.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mawdogbe:
Hey guys. I've got an HTC 10 that I bought from ebay. When I bought the phone, it came unlocked, but I recently ran into a snafu where I had to completely reinstall the stock software. However, once I did so, the phone behaved as if it was network locked, though again, it didn't come that way. Currently haven't found a way to fix it, and I'm wondering if this would be a viable option for me. MID is 2PS62000, and weirdly enough, it came S-OFF with a SuperCID (11111111). I use it on T-Mobile. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Yours is probably originally a Sprint variant, which was sim unlocked to make it work on other networks. When you ran the stock RUU, it undid the unlock, so you'll need to redo it yourself. Go to the Sprint HTC 10 forums on xda, there is a thread that'll show you how to unlock it and use it on other networks.

That would be my guess.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mawdogbe:
Not sure about that, though you might be right. But the Sprint MID is 2PS64000, and my MID is 2PS62000, which leads me to believe that it wasn't a Sprint variant originally. I can't flash any US firmware on my device due to that MID, which seems to be another giveaway. Also, before making any modifications to my device, when I received it, I was getting H+ instead of LTE. If it was a Sprint variant originally, the US LTE bands should've been enabled, no? Again, you could be right, and I'm pretty new to HTC devices but I don't think that's the case. Thoughts?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
MID can be changed easily if you have s-off, which you seem to have if you're already using superCID.

You could always run an online imei checker and see if you can get more info about the MID.

I'm not saying it for sure is a Sprint device, I was just guessing based on what I've seen people post here about devices they've bought on Ebay. You could also just keep your current software and pay for a sim unlock code
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mawdogbe:
Makes sense, I see where you're coming from. Well, I went through with the process and still encountered the issue I was trying to resolve, so looks like I'll be getting an unlock code.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Biggie_still:
This will also work on Sprint vibrant??
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Nope, you'll need sprint radios on that one. Check out the Sprint HTC 10 forums on xda to figure out how to do it.

I followed the instructions for unlocking my bootloader, but I can't flash TWRP because i'm still S-ON. I didn't think S-OFF was required to flash recovery, only for changing CID/MID. If S-OFF is required, it would be helpful for the OP to update and put that in the first post.

Disadvantage of SuperCID

Is there any disadvantage when you use SuperCID instead of US ? For example, I have used following combination;

SuperCID - 11111111

MID -2PS650000

Then flashed 1,53 for HTC 10, everything working properly I guess right now, at least for Turkey.

4. Flash Unlocked RUU

The link posted in OP is a .exe file. Can anyone give me instructions and firmware for Linux/mac?

I also had the m10h and followed the guides to change my phone's mid/cid and rom to us unlocked, and I can confirm that I have band 4 lte with tmobile. previously, I only had band 12 which leads me to assume that yes, this guide will unlock the us bands you're looking for if done correctly.

SIM Question

I'm psyched that I am now on HTC unlocked but if the phone is truly unlocked, why then, when I get to the "Select Carrier" screen am I only shown a list MNVO's hosted by T-Mobile?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fmedrano1977:
Bought it from HTC?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bassmanm7:
No, from T-Mobile and paid in full. Did this process not unlock the phone? This isn't the only reason that I ran this RUU, but I thought one of the benefits would have been to unlock it. Am I missing something? Sorry, I'm obviously a noob.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fmedrano1977:
No it did not, what you get from this is a T-Mobile US fully functional non T-Mobile base. Benefits are that y don't get T-Mobile bloat, and updates silver than you'd get them from T-Mobile. Since you payed in full, you'd should be able to just call T-Mobile and ask them for the sim unlock code.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bassmanm7:
thanks!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] PunishedSnake:
I chose T-Mobile there but I wonder what would be different if I had chosen one of the others

I hope to find a way to trigger that selection screen after the fact
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bassmanm7:
You can invoke that screen by doing the following:

Go to Settings

Choose Mobile Data

Choose GSM/UMTS Options

Choose Access point names

At the top right corner press the 3 vertical dotes and choose "Reset to default"

Choose your carrier

*If you're on stock, locked T-Mobile firmware you might have to make slightly different choices, but not radically. You should be able to navigate to "Access point names" pretty easily once you choose Mobile Data.

Since all the options are hosted by T-Mobile, I don't think it makes much difference which one you choose.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Emilicious:
Yeah, so I couldn't figure out any sort of solution for my particular situation. I had only bought my HTC 10 a day ago, so I decided to call T-Mobile and play dumb. Told them it was stuck on a weird screen and I couldn't get out of it. At one point I was like "hey, so that screen...at the top it says my system is modified - is that bad" and that just help feed into the idea that there must have been something very wrong with my system. So they sent me a new one and I got it today!!!

Working on my root now. Unlocking the bootloader and getting TWRP on it took all of 5 min - time to make major preparations for my continued plans though. I don't wanna lose another $700~~~~I doubt they will send me another as a free replacement again.

Good luck trying to unlock your SIM card once you flash this RUU. While I can't say for sure, it seems to have rendered T-Mobile's "Device Unlock" app useless. That and T-Mobile won't give the code any other way. Has to be done with the app (only) on this device.
