I'm noticing that I don't seem to be able to take Verizon OTAs. After flashing the RUU and inserting my SIM card, all is well, and the device wants to take an update. I flashed back the "stock Recovery" from this post (1.53.617.5 for CID: BS_US001/BS_US002 | MID: 2PS650000, which matches the original CID/MID of my phone - there isn't one there with the new VZW__001 CID) and attempt to take the OTA. The phone reboots and shows this error on the recovery screen:

Has anyone actually been able to get video calling and data during call working on their US unlocked converted to Verizon HTC 10?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ST47:
Yes. After installing the RUU, enabling advanced calling in settings, and rebooting, data while in call is confirmed working for me (and in fact, that's the whole premise of this thread). I can't confirm video calling, since I don't use it and don't know anyone who does, so I don't know what's supposed to happen.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpotik:
Can you please walk me step by step what you did, I have tried EVERYTHING known to my knowledge and still no go...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ST47:
To be honest, I just followed the instruction in the OP. I followed steps 1 through 3, inserted my SIM card, and went through the setup steps (so I do /not/ presently have root, but that shouldn't matter for Advanced Calling Features, only for Android Pay).

At this point, settings says I'm running build number 1.19.605.9 8.0_g CL735218 release-keys. If you disagree, it's possible that your RUU didn't install successfully?

In Settings I went to Advanced Calling, selected Activate Advanced Calling, and followed the prompts. It will eventually tell you that it's activated 3 features for $0 each, and I believe it asks you to wait 5 minutes and reboot the phone. I waited longer than that because I was also setting up my apps, but eventually I rebooted, went back in to the Advanced Calling menu, and I now have three menu items. Item 1 is grayed out, it is "Activate Advanced Calling", and it says "Service upgraded to HD Voice and Video calling". Item 2 is Advanced Calling, and leads to a second screen. At the top right corner of that screen is a toggle to turn Advanced Calling on or off, it looks just like the Wi-Fi or Mobile Data toggles. That is set on. I have two choices on that screen: "HD Voice and Video Calling", which is grayed out, and "HD voice", which is selected.

The third item on my Advanced Calling screen is Wi-Fi calling, which I have also enabled. In order to do this, I had to update my default "Emergency Address" for E911 purposes.

Does your Software build version match mine? Do you have the Verizon apps and the Verizon splash screen while your phone boots? Do you remember seeing a Verizon page when you selected "Activate Advanced Calling"?

Maybe contact Verizon and verify that Advanced Calling Features are actually enabled on your line?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Flash the latest Verizon ruu I posted and be done with it. Also you cannot flash a Verizon ota using the unlocked recovery. That will never work. The ota script does a check against installed recovery and it must match the installed rom (in your case would have been Verizon ruu recovery).

The latest ruu has been posted and doesn't wipe on install so you can flash it. Then install twrp and RE-root.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ST47:
Oh OK, I thought the RUUs always wiped /data on install. (I have a backup, but thought the OTA was supposed to work.) I'll just push the new RUU then. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Read my instructions in the other thread for everything you need.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
To attempt vzw volte activation

Remove volte from account.

Then ruu and factory reset

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

Then reboot and try volte activation.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoubleHelixLSU:
Just wanted to say this worked for me, but the partitions should be modemst1 and modemst2 (no underscores).
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Probably correct on that. I have too many devices on the brain.

Just to confirm, you are using an unlocked model?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoubleHelixLSU:
Yes HTC unlocked, with Verizon RUU. Previously was getting 1X during a call even when Advanced Calling HD Voice was enabled in settings. Now it stays on 4G during a call after the modem erase commands.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
perfect/.

settles that once and for all.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Light1984:
Now if we could just get someone to debloat and optimize the stock RUU lol. Glad to hear there is a fix. Thanks for this.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mperkel:
Maybe I'm in the wrong thread. I flashed the Viper rom and it's supposed to be Verizon compatible. So if I have a Viper rom - what do I do to make it work on Verizon?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
If you don't own a Verizon Variant HTC 10, but are already on the VZW firmware, then you just flash Venom ROM and in Aroma choose Verizon.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
Hey Andy, I have a question about the Verizon version, do you think it will matter much if I get the Verizon HTC 10 as far as development goes, if we will be lacking the ability to flash custom kernels like on the M9? I am ready to order this phone but I hate missing out on all the fun Lol. If so I might have to save up for the unlocked version, it's awesome we can make it work with Verizon it will just cost me more money. Thanks buddy
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I got VZW version, I'd suggest it. You'll have to mail to jcase or beaups for S-OFF. You can prob even convert VZW to us unlocked but don't quote me on that.

But I've read of VZW users flashing leedroid and such without issue, the 10 is a little different, it's basically the same devices (which is why can convert dev to VZW) so don't worry about custom kernels. Flar2 and buck already have some out. :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoang555:
It could be a wrong question but it is possible to convert hTC 10 Verizon to Unlocked one ? As I followed the thread from beginning that seems both variants are same hardware/partition layout, is it correct ???
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I'm a bit curious about this myself. I feel like if you can can us to vzw, you should be able to do vzw to us. I do believe the partitions are the same, but I'll need to check.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mperkel:
I'm having a weird problem. I can't get a 4G connection. 3G works.

So - trying not to make the story too long - but it used to work great. I had a temp number from Verizon and then they ported in my real phone number from Straight Talk and now I get just 3G.

There were a number of other events than just changing phone numbers that happened. The port was a port from hell where they lost my phone number and it ended up with someone at Metro PC. But they got it back eventually. And I had switched back and forth between AT&T and Verizon a few times. So - I don't know where it got screwed up. - But I know it used to work Verizon 4G so I want to get that back.

The latest thing I did was reflash DOTTAT_VZW10_1.19.605.9_s_on.exe to make sure I had the right radios. Then I recovered from TWRP.

Under the "Phone Info" in tweaks it says:

CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto

I have tried CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto - same problem.

If I switch to LTE only - I get 4G. But I can't make phone calls. But speed test is great.

Also - if I put the SIM in a Verizon Droid MAXX - I get 4G.

I might have figured out another clue. I put a Verizon SIM card in from a different phone and got a 4G signal. I'm going to try to ask Verizon for a new SIM card.

SOLVED! (In case someone else runs into this.) A new SIM card fixed the problem.

ALSO: Under no circumstances dial *228 to program your phone. That is for 3G phones and it will turn your phone into 3G only!!!!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] PIYIRIO:
That's going to be a tough one. With that many issues in porting the number, it very well may be a provisioning issue on the Verizon side. They may have the wrong profile set for you.

The first thing I would do is to do a full factory reset, possibly rerun the reflash DOTTAT_VZW10_1.19.605.9_s_on.exe. Run through the initial setup, do NOT run the TWRP restore, and see if it works. If so there is something with the backup and you may need to reinstall manually. If not, you'll have to go through 3-4 tiers of tech support to get to someone worth a damn that can fix it...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mperkel:
Feature Request. Apparently someone said there's something called biu;d.prop or something like that that will disable the system from turning down the media volume (nanny mode I call it) when a bluetooth device connects. I noticed it when I switched to this Verizon kernel.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] HankMcCoyX:
Would this work for the international unlocked version?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Andy I think you can figure it out I also think its the same hardware so I have faith you will figure it out. I know a lot of people will like to get updates directly from Htc and verizon would pick up the imei as a verizon htc 10 so there should be no issue with verizon activating a verizon 10 converted to unlocked 10 being its registered on their network.

I have no clue why verizon wont allow unlocked 10's on their network when they allow unlocked nexus phones to be activated, as my motorola nexus 6 they will activate it no problem, but no go for unlocked htc 10. Maybe verizon realizes they cant blackball unlocked google devices because they cant piss off google but verizon has no problem pushing around htc. This is exactly why I hate verizon I justy wish I had good at&t coverage and tmobile coverage as I would ditch verizon they are the worst company in the USA and they have the arrogance to back that up.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
Right now the 10 from HTC.com is much cheaper than the 10 from Verizon directly... What are the down sides, other than having to follow the guide here, with going with an unlocked phone vs a Verizon HTC 10?

Just for note, Verizon Retail Price: $648.00, HTC.com (with the $100 off for not using Uh-Oh!): $499.99, and I get two color options.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
I have the unlocked dark grey one, and it's a great phone. Finally - a notification light that you can actually see across the room.

No downsides that I know of, but it will be known at Verizon as a "non-Verizon" handset, if that matters.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
I could care less if it is called a non-verizon handset, as long as everything works on it and I can continue to use VoLTE and other features.

Also one biggie, the data usage widget from Verizon, still exist and does it work on an unlocked 10 with the Verizon firmware?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
Yes, everything works. When you convert it, it becomes the same as the Verizon phone in every way. When I converted my unlocked 10,

i used dottat's 1.19.605.9 version of Verizon HTC 10 software. I did not immediately root it, and it took Verizon's xxx-22 OTA without a hitch.

VOLTE works just right, and if it doesn't first time for you, there are stories here on xda about a simple fastboot command to re-set.

I don't know why this phone isn't getting better reviews. Smooth, fast, no hiccups.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Honestly, you are better off with Unlocked vs. Verizon, especially if it's cheaper.

The hTC 10 is unlike previous hTC devices in the sense that all variants are technically the same.

You will save on not needing to ship out device to get S-OFF and can use Sunshine.

It's very easy to convert and once you do it will be identical to Verizon variant.

And from the post above me it's nice to see all features confirmed working.

The 10 is a straight up beast. Verizon is wayyy behind on updates (HUGE surprise!) and I am seeing recently with latest Elite kernel close to 8.5 SOT when I ran it down to 1%
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
I pulled the trigger and got an unlocked one, very excited for this, better performance over the M9? Like as in noticeable?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
The M9 was one of the worst if not the worst phone purchases I've ever made. I used my M8 even when I had an S-OFF hTC 10. But when I did very briefly use the M9 when devvimg and this is night and day. But this to me, is finally an upgrade. I was seeing 5 hours SOT on the M8, and I'm using the 10 basically the same and it's a very noticeable upgrade from the M8 and/or M9. I finally sold my M9, got a great deal, sorry for OT.

But very glad you pulled the trigger, you certainly won't regret it, and you get uh-oh protection - which I HIGHLY recommend using. I didn't on my M9 and I got a $100 off code to ONLY be used at hTC.com. hTC was smart/sneaky with this by not letting us know what they'd do as far as the $100 if didn't use the uh-oh. At one point they were telling us theyd send $100 to our Credit cards. The problem was that I had 2 other emails with the exact same deal, $100 off, but you can't combine codes. So for me buying from Verizon using my upgrade I literally lost out of what I felt was $100, I was hoping to be able to use it. I did made $50 luckily by giving the code to a friend for the $50. Even for this entire month I got another email for $100 off. But I digress..

Let us know when you receive device!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
Are you currently working on a ROM for us? :D Always loved having a record option, going to miss that on the 10.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajikUF:
Where is the $100 for not using Uh-Oh option? I only see the $100 off which is $599.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
https://www.htc.com/us/uh-oh-protection/ gives you a coupon code to use, but here is the catch, make SURE you can use it with the current $100 off promo that is automatically applied. I tried, it failed, but then I noticed I had to wait until 7/22, so I said screw it and found an unlocked one on swappa from a reputable seller, so I paid $500 for that and now am waiting for it to arrive.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MajikUF:
It's not liking the serial number on my m8. I probably need to chat with htc and see if they will give it to me, but thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrTrip:
I HAVE ARRIVED!

Just flashed the Verizon RUU to the phone, waiting to pop the SIM in, wheee!

What do you suggest for the smoothest, fastest, battery saving setup? Was thinking of sticking to the verizon stock debloated, and I saw somebody mention the elite kernel? I think it was you? I'm open to suggestions great one :good:
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Glad you are with us!

Def debloated whether it be VZW stock or using international ROM like leedroid - and def suggest bucks elite kernel.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
I've been researching several models of rootable Android phone compatible with Verizon, as I need to replace my Galaxy S5 (USB3 port is malfunctioning) and I'm due for my 2 year upgrade anyway. After doing a lot of reading and digging online, and crossing off several phones I had become interested in due to their lacking some feature I consider mandatory (like an SD card) it seems the HTC 10 is the one option I have left, albeit a fine choice. I had pushed it aside originally because I didn't want to have to send it away to get rooted. But I recently came down to accepting that might be my only route. Then tonight, I found the thread that leads to this guide, explaining how the unlocked US version, normally not Verizon compatible, could be made Verizon compatible, and still provide all the incentives of an unlocked phone.

As I read through the other thread, and then followed the link to this guide, I had flip-flopped several times deciding to either just cave and buy an HTC 10 from Verizon, or try this conversion process on an HTC 10 acquired elsewhere. Now that I have come to the bottom of this guide thread, and it has been said that all the hiccups mentioned earlier have been worked out, and doing this guide on an unlocked US version will make it totally Verizon service compatible, it seems best, to me, to go that route. Not that I don't appreciate what jcase and the others are doing, as I do appreciate that very much! Thanks to all you guys who keep us rooted and bootloader-unlocked so we can really USE what we are paying for! But being an impatient DIY kind of guy, I like the notion of not having to send something away to be worked on when I can get the instructions and do it myself. I've rooted several devices over the years, and support seems to come reasonably quickly for any problems encountered along the way in this HTC10 conversion. So, I think I'll order one right from HTC so I can get the UhOh protection as well as the other perks provided when doing so.

I would like to verify my plan will work before I pull the trigger........... what I "want" to do is get a SIM cutter from Amazon, trim my Galaxy S5 microSIM card currently in use down to nanoSIM size, and put that into the HTC10. I plan to get a cutter tool that also has adapters along with it, so if necessary I could use a nanoSIM to microSIM adapter on that same SIM card once trimmed, and use it back in my S5 again as an emergency backup phone if needed. Is there any reason this plan won't work? I've noticed several mentions of the nanoSIM needed for the HTC10 requiring NFC compatibility, but my S5 has NFC features, so I am hoping its SIM card would work OK. Plus this way I would not have to try to get a new SIM card out of Verizon for the non-Verizon phone.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
I would recommend the following commands after conversion, they might give you a bit better service with verizon

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

May take a few hours of service for things to settle back to normal
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I went from M9 to the 10, and I had to use the SIM card that came with my VZW 10 variant device. I had tried to activate the one from M9, and even called VZW and they couldn't get it to work. I popped in the SIM that came with the device and connected right away.

I personally, would rather just get a new nano SIM card, or use the one included with the device. I wouldn't bother with cutting an old SIM card when you can get them for free from VZW.

And if an emergency presents itself, get the SIM adapter to use in the SG5.

From what I've read, however. Your plan looks good to me.

Just be prepared that if you go the route of cutting the SIM, it still may not work, and will need to use the one that came with the 10.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
Ok, thanks! I had not realized that buying the unlocked model from HTC would include a nanoSIM. So this raises another question.

Once I remove the new provided nanoSIM, convert the unlocked US HTC 10 to Verizon compatibility with this guide, power down, reinsert the nanoSIM, then power back on, is the phone going to ask to be activated just as if I had bought it from Verizon? I've only ever activated phones I ordered from Verizon online in the past, so I don't know any other way of activating a new phone without having to go to Verizon or call them. I prefer neither of those last 2 options here, given how the phone is being acquired. :)

I finished reading the parent thread leading to this guide, and was surprised to see dottat is leaving the forum, apparently permanently. He mentions file links being deactivated soon after that post. Hopefully those files needed in this guide still have active links so I can download them?

Thanks dottat, if you are still watching, for all you have done to help us all. And may your future path be bright and prosperous!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
ahh I forgot about if Verizon is accepting the Unlocked variant like they did the Nexus6 and can activate it without issue. or if you need existing sim.

hopefully someone who went the unlocked 2 verizon convert can chime in.

Dottat was kind enough to keep his files up in his AndroidFileHost account, but links are removed from XDA threads.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
If I need an existing SIM, can I cut my S5 SIM down to nano size and use it? That would be just insert SIM and ready to rock, yes?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
Or, if it would be of some help, my wife has a Galaxy S6 which is using a nanoSIM card. Could I use her active card to get the HTC10 hooked up and running on VZW's system, and then somehow transfer the HTC 10 over to my S5 phone's number (using the unregistered nanoSIM that comes with it), and re-activate her S6 with her nanoSIM card? If that would work, is it that simple, or am I needing to know anything else?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Ideally. Can't say why my m8/m9 sim sim wouldn't activate.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
This certainly increases chances of a successful activation with working in use sim. I don't think i can say for sure as that was my experience, perhaps others can chime in who've had different experience.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zoandroid:
What did you have to do to make it work?

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

I am currently chatting online with VZW Customer Support, asking them to send me a nanoSIM for an HTC 10. The only way I could find to do this online was via FB messaging, and their replies each take many minutes to come through. They need a chat service directly on the VZW website. If they send me one, I am hoping it will be plug and play and no other hassles.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I broke my old sim card..

One should come with device as I mentioned and that's how I activated it.. I tried with my M9 sim and VZW Rep couldn't get it to work, the one with device worked right away.

Verizon does have chat on their site I've used many times. You can also call and talk right to a Rep and they will send you a sim card.

Iirc - 1800-922-0204 and just keep pressing 0 until they send you to a Rep.

Why not just use the sim that will come with your hTC 10??
