[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] treetolber:
Please excuse my ignorance but has there been a flashable created to eliminate the "red text" on bootup after updating to new firmware?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Look for it in the aboots thread in the development section. OT here.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Wrong thread.

Here won't be any support, for those modified files.

Sneakyghost explained the reasons several times.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Even when Mr. Smith in the matrix makes some guy say "Ignorance is bliss" I have zero tolerance for hex edited hboots/aboots and ignorance thereof. It makes me very aggressive and yell at people.

You know why? Because it was me who made the edit popular in the HTC One M7 firmware thread 2012/13. When I realized my mistake (people never read red text disclaimers and are ignorant for explanations, but still blame the provider when they manage to brick their phone) it was too late and many eejits hungry for that XDA fame had picked up my instructions and started providing those bootloader files.

Alas, none of them ever properly educated people about what they actually do there. There needs to be only one single mistake and the phone will never boot again. The risk/benefit relation is just ridiculous.

So please excuse me when I kindly ask you to F the F off from my thread with such requests ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] treetolber:
Understood. Now I feel the need to apologize for not doing my do diligence and understanding that this method was at the very least frowned upon. I am certainly not one to not appreciate the amount of hard voluntary work that is put into the development of our devices.

Thanks for enlightening me and entertaining my uneducated request.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
:D well at the end of the day it's my own fault. But please do be advised, that those modified bootloaders are nowhere near worth the risk...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] skatin707:
Kind of an off the wall question. I installed the latest firmware using your fantastic batch tool yesterday, seriously it is awesome, but lost mobile data (unrelated to your tools). Now I am trying to revert back to the latest verizon firmware but your batch tool is the only platform I can use to access my phone. My ADB folder can't see the device in download mode. Any ideas why that would happen? Additionally, could I use your batch tool to go down from 2.xx to the 1.85 Verizon then just reflash the older TWRP if need be?

I got into RUU mode and now it wont see my device either. I've tried pretty much every driver out there including the HTC sync program. I currently have HTC sync uninstalled since it seemed to break the connection as well.

I will donate what I can, I am just at a loss for what to do.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I don't have the link offhand, but there's a post somewhere along the last 10-30 pages of this thread about how to fix "error 171" - that fix will likely fix your fastboot too. Search this thread for error 171 and you should find that post.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
This thread is for GSM devices. Information about your CDMA device, Verizon, can be found in the Verizon HTC10 thread. You'll most likely have to RUU back to stock to get everything working again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Yeah, I remember happily flashing custom hboots without red text warnings and masking S-Off Unlocked as S-On Locked on my M8. They were provided by [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]. I guess that makes him an "eejit hungry for that XDA fame" as well. You certainly have the right to your own opinion and to the way you police your own thread. [MENTION=3239534]O_C[/MENTION]aptain_My_Captain also had a change of heart regarding aboots after his A9 brick. But really, there is no need for name-calling here. And now I'll follow your kind request to F the F off.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yeah. Thanks. You probably wouldn't believe it, but Captain and I have indeed discussed red text mods a LOT in the past and I believe we actually are on the same page regarding that. So, I doubt name calling will hurt those who have a reasonable mind and can think the issue through.

I don't see why I should even justify myself here. Providing mods that are dangerous for lesser experienced people is plain and simple stupid. One could even argue that providing firmware packs ripped out of their RUU or OTA environment to inexperienced users is stupid.

I have spent many a thought on quitting this altogether, as I am realizing more and more that most users on XDA nowadays live by an Apple generated attitude: can haz it all, can haz no responsibility, can haz brick, can haz others fix. Long past are the days that XDA users consisted of mostly enthusiasts with solid knowledge.

I mean, I see you are reading in TWRP thread too, mate. I am dead sure you have seen this guy:

That is why distributing no red bootloaders without proper and complete information is bad, and even providing them at all is not a good idea.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkenedpath:
I'd hate to chime in on beating a dead dog, but again I agree with sneaky. The aboot on the m9 was kind of scary to edit, (I was told how to and learned on my m7, and it was fairly easy). So since I didn't trust anyone else I made the edits to my own devices. I done them on my m9 and after a certain edit, my phone wasn't booting and I thought I had a brick. Finally it booted and from then on, the red text was just fine with me. But on the HTC 10, it has been mentioned multiple times how much more finicky it is over the past devices, especially on the new N base. Some devs can't figure out why their rom couldn't boot on the firmware their rom is based on, (this should say something to the users). The guy in the post seems to have went s-on with a modded aboot (how stupid), but that could happen with one mistake. What if the person supplying the aboot MOD hasn't tested it, said they did, and the one mistake they left made your device a brick since you trusted them? If you want no red text, just unlock your bootloader. That's what throws the flag, (at least on my device) there is a guide on how to go back to s-on locked if needed. Sorry sneaky, I was a hard headed person in the past, but realized fast what you warned us about, and try to help people realize that. I will not argue with anyone after this post, just want to help with what I experienced myself and was warned about. I will delete my post if needed, or wanted sneaky, Just hate when people can't /wont listen to an experienced member of such knowledge of such.

Recent additions: Batch Tool 1.4.1

Hello everyone,

I have reworked all 5 initial posts with more info and - so I hope - clearer structure that helps with skipping stuff and picking up essential info. I know its a lot of text. Most people won't need any of it.

Consider it educational stuff for newbies.

I also updated my Batch Tool to latest TWRP and Stock recoveries, just to have it up-to-date, if anyone cares.

Hello All,

Has anyone had an issue using adb after updating to the most recent firmware? Device is recognized in every mode aside from bootloader/fastboot.

I have searched endlessly for a solution to this but found nothing.

I have a post about this here -

http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/help/fastboot-devices-t3521378

with more info (dont feel like typing it all out again.)

Any help with this is greatly appreciated and if this post goes against the forums rules please let me know and I will edit/delete it. I figured this was the best place to ask as it concerns firmware and I didn't have this problem prior to updating to the most current RUU.

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Well, judging from the post you linked, you are using the wrong commands.

adb **command here** works when booted to system or recovery

fastboot **command here** works in bootloader

Try fastboot devices instead of adb devices. :D

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I literally spent all day yesterday rewriting all five first posts.

thanks in advance>
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Nothing should have been flashed at all then.

As OP already told you, all you need to know - including this error and that to do - can be found in the first five posts. Try reading and learning something instead of being spoon fed all time. It helps to solve such problems.

Hint: the - by this error - meant android-info.txt isn't located on your system partition.

[MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION]: sorry for me cluttering your thread with this unneeded answer, but I couldn't resist.

for flashing firmware in twrp recovery should i have been S-OFF?

can i flash it with custom rom installed?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Firmware has to be flashed in download or RUU mode. It won't work doing so within TWRP.

To flash the packages from this thread, yes you got to be S-OFF, which by the way has been stated within the first post of the OP ...... as well as many many other things one should know about firmware flashing.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ali nz:
i'm S-ON what should i do?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tetractys:
I definitely solved by "substituting one of the CIDs with my CID in android-info.txt file"

You can read your CID in the Download mode screen and edit the info file inside the zip (and saving it of course).

Note: the procedure does not touch anything (and consequently quits) if the CID prerequisite is not met.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
Well in that case, since overthrowing your government or moving to another country are out. Maybe search for updating with S-On, or go to HTC's website and download latest RUU for your device, reinstall your custom rom of choice.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ali nz:
I also found a thread here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/tool-firmware-updater-t3441029 which can update firmware while you are S-ON
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
Congratulations. Next time, maybe search and read first, then post questions. Saves a bunch of clutter in the threads.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] swebb76:
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I think I just screwed my phone permanently. Flashed the 1.85.605.8 Firmware and after the initial flash (where it asks you to flash a 2nd time to complete), the phone immediately powered off before I could do anything and now doesn't power up with any combination of button pressing. Charging light dead too.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
Crap, sorry to hear that bud. This would be the first brick I've heard of by flashing wrong firmware. Not to say it's not a possibility. Maybe [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] has some ideas to get you back on line. Do you have any access to ADB when plugged into your computer?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Not the first and won't be the last with folks mixing and matching mm and nougat firmware pieces.

Only way to recovery a phone is to at least have bootloader access. Then we can manually flash each partition by name from a full ruu to get stuff matching and booting again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
What was the exact firmware package that you flashed? If you downgraded from N to MM with an incremental firmware package from an OTA, you most likely have indeed hard bricked your phone. Try this guide though, it might just work.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] swebb76:
Can't get to bootloader, so I figured I'm screwed. Looks like I'll be getting another one!

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Computer doesn't recognize it is even plugged in. I have a new phone coming, so will just have to be more careful. In the past, I was always able to undo whatever I screwed up and I think I just got over confident and a little careless. :)

I appreciate all the responses anyway! Thanks!

Next time, PLEASE read the OP before asking a question like this. It drives [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] (and me) crazy when stuff is answered right there and you ask a question that's been covered. He didn't write all that stuff on the first page for him, because he knows how this stuff works. It's for the users, people like you. So it would be appreciated if you could show some gratitude for the time he took to write all this up and create these zips by taking the time to read (and re-read, if necessary) what's written there.

For reference, I'm referring to this part of the OP, that answers the EXACT question you asked:

And for the record, it's also these kinds of posts that make him not want to keep doing this for everyone, and you wouldn't want that, would you?

Anyone has had any issues with wipes, broken data, broken whatever? Encryption?

After this firmware, that is.

As [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] pointed out before, the android-info.txt in the zip's might need some adjustment. If those two files were wrong, you'd probably notice some random problems due to not properly erased partitions or vital partitions being erased.
