Ok so I guess I will flash sneakys and test his batch tool too:) Thx for help mate! :good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
No problem
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
I would have thought so too however it seems that there are partition differences between .401 and .617 that cause trouble. I went ahead and tried the radio just before your post.

fastboot flash radio radio.img

target reported max download size of 1579200000 bytes

sending 'radio' (54625 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.804s]

writing 'radio'...

(bootloader) HOSD CL#831921

FAILED (remote: 35 RU_PARTITION_NOT_SUPPORT radio)

finished. total time: 3.813s

Edit:

In retrospect when I originally went with the .401 FW (somewhere around 1.80 I think) I went from .617 to .401 via no wipe FW which was probably a mistake. Had I done full wipe FW perhaps the partitions would have been correct and it only became an issue when changing versions...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION], flashing just the radio directly violates my rule to not mix different firmwares, so ye shall be punished... :D

Note to everyone else: do your frankenbuilds as much as you like but do not expect me, or anyone (except [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION]) to help you recover your mess, in case it all goes South... :D

not to mention in the wrong mode :p

what's a frankenbuild :cyclops:

oh and it will go more South than we like ... yeah it's a finicky device, and HTCs refusal to release source code is even more proof that's it's really a frakingbuild :angel:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
Ok so if someone with a US Unlocked device wanted to use WWE FW and have it work is there a path that does that?

Perhaps starting w/ a full wipe 1.95.401.4 FW followed by a separate TWRP load, then N rom, followed by loading a no wipe FW to 2.28.401.6?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lancespahr:
I tried flashing 7.0 build (US Unlocked/Developer) RUU to my Verizon 10 (shouldn't be a problem right?) with both nowipe and full stock, and all I get is the splash screen over and over. I even wiped data in recovery. Any ideas? I can RUU back to verizon build but I would really love to be stock N if possible... Any help is much appreciated :) Also, tried with SD card inserted and out. didn't make a difference
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Those firmware files here in the thread, contains no "system.img".

And they are no complete RUU's.

The files will only change the firmware and contains full firmware packages.

So it's expected, that you will just see the splash screen, after wiping system with sneaky's firmware files.

I don't know, if Verizon could flash the full unlocked RUU or firmware.

But you should read in the Verizon forum, how you could convert to us unlocked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I'd first flash any available WWE RUU to have a "clean slate" starting point, a clean conversion, then go on with my firmware. Alternatively, you'd be able to OTA your way up from whatever RUU you started.

The main reason to use just any RUU first is to have a clean conversion. However, there's another reason to do so if you want to use HTC OTA to flash your way up: restoring your OTA function, which is almost certainly broken after all you certainly did to your phone (refer to post 5 for this topic if you aren't aware anyway).

I'm not entirely sure but I think the precondition for a conversion on the HTC 10 is a CID and MID change (SuperCID plus the desired MID) since the superCID behavior has changed lately - it is not overriding MID anymore like it used to on previous phones.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
Thanks Sneaky, previously I had done super cid and mid change when I was on the 1.95.401.4 FW. So RUU would be the necessary starting point (after CID/MID change) and not a full wipe FW. I had not considered that necessity and thought a full wipe FW would work but as usual you know more about this than I...

Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You can try but I'd think you'd probably lose HTC OTA capability.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerzii:
Hello,

i am using this Firmaware at the moment:

PMEUHL_1.95.401.4_NoWipe_TWRP3026.zip

I wanted to flash this one now:

PMEUHL_2.28.401.6_NoWipe_TWRP3026.zip

Flashing works FINE, but my phone get in a bootloop then (no way to get into recovery or system)!!.

I reflashed 1.95.401.4 and Phone starts and works normal.

What did i do wrong?

Is the new firmware faulty?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
N firmware will only work, while using a N based ROM.

Else it won't boot and that twrp doesn't work on N firmware, is also a known fact.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
If you use the firmware from HTC's Android 7 release (2.28.xxx.x), you'll have to wipe your phone and reinstall the ROM to make it work. Or just believe what [MENTION=4637027]Black-FR[/MENTION] just told you :D

I'm rather sure though that I had my phone working with old ROM and new firmware at some stage, just that I needed to factory reset the phone before it was able to boot...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
The last info I had is, that the new firmware doesn't work on older ROM's.

But might be, that it would work for some... we know, that the device is a little bit freaky and sometimes behaves completely different, also as the conditions are the same. :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
I will go with your suggestion. I am really not worried about OTA though since I don't normally take OTAs anyway.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
If someone wants to try if what I experienced is indeed reproducible, you can flash Viper 3.5 on top of 1.95/6 firmware, then flash the new 2.28 FullWipe firmware (yes full wipe) and use stock recovery of 2.28 to factory reset the old Viper, then see if it boots.

It'll be necessary to remove boot.img from the full wipe pack, or use the NoWipe pack and replace the twrp recovery.img with the stock 2.28 one before flashing. In any case, I doubt Viper 3.5 would boot with the new boot.img, so that would need to go away.

Since this is a little messy and also kind of involves "Frankenbuilds" of sorts, I'd recommend to only do that if you (whoever feels addressed) know how to restore your phone if things don't work out as expected.

This would simply be something you do to find out if, and how the old ROM runs on old firmware.

There is no real use case for this. It's just toying around.

I am pointing out on page one, that I'm not providing system.img here. Maybe I should make myself more clear and say that I won't provide any stock system here, not as NAND backup, not as image, not raw.

You might want to ask over in the general forums for someone to give you one, or check the dev forum for a stock backup thread, which is 100% certainly existing somewhere. There always is such a thread.

I did downgrade from 2.28.401.6 to 1.95.401.4_FullStock, I reinstalled TWRP and Viper 4.1, everything worked. No brick my phone
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpL3rG3:
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been answered but so far I haven't found much.

First off, I'm somewhat familiar with the process of unlocking HTC's as I had an M7 that was completely unlocked/S-Offed (however its been a while so I am rusty).

I am running my HTC 10 on Bell from Bell so its getting their firmware updates. Now I know I have to be S-Off to use any of the custom/no-wipe firmwares listed here, but my question is, am I going to cause any issues by flashing a non-Bell firmware version on my phone? Seems that Bell being Bell, has their own versions of firmware for the 10. I'm currently on 1.53.666.5 which is not in the firmware list provided by Sneakyghost and Google searches only come back with a few hits. Basically I want to get to 1.9x or 2.28 but not if its going to compromise functionality.

My BL is unlocked and I'm rooted but not yet S-Off'd. Since I'm rooted/unlocked I can no longer get OTA updates and I don't want to be stuck on the old firmware.

Thanks!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] danstr15:
HI, I am with Bell as well, recently changed mine to US unlocked and have not had any issues. The only difference is that any Bell app needs to be found in the play store and loaded, for example Bell TV or the myBell app.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpL3rG3:
Sweet! Thanks for the response, I was actually going to go with the international version.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I'm not exactly sure about this, since it isn't exactly a topic of interest to me, but I'd think US unlocked might be more compatible with Bell since both are meant for North American markets. The WWE radio might be covering a different set of frequencies, no?

There's always my standard thought: since XDA is a development community, the most important thing is to experiment and find out things... ;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] typhoonikan:
So, I downloaded the batch tool but fastboot is not included in the com folder to be used... I'm unable to perform and of the fastboot commands.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Either will work just fine, but it seems US Unlocked gets quicker updates so I'd also say go with that.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

If you're just flashing firmware, regular ADB/fastboot will work. HTC's fastboot is only needed for large files like RUU.zips, or you could use the SD card method for those instead.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] typhoonikan:
I flashed no wipe version, no errors throughout.

Now it is bootlooping and I can enter bootloader and download modes, but I cannot enter recovery mode.

What can I try?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You probably didn't get the memo. TWRP won't work on new firmware. It's a placeholder in the NoWipe zip until we have a functioning recovery.

Please refer to the Viper installation instructions on www.venomroms.com for a strategy to get the ROM up and booting without TWRP.

If you thought you could preserve your data, well, I'm afraid you now got your punishment for not reading the info :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] typhoonikan:
I don't care about my data- I just want the phone to boot.

Flashing the stock recovery via the batch tool won't even let the phone boot into recovery, even though it says it flashed successfully.

Would you be available to chat for five minutes to help me on track? Send me a pm with how to reach one another?

I just updated firmware to latest MM version (PMEUHL_1.95.401.4_NoWipe_TWRP3026)- update went fine but now - after after the step:fastboot oem reboot- I also get the command error!!! problem

I don't know what I did wrong- I am s-off- I have twrp 3.0.-26 and I thought the twrp problem is just with Nougat firmwares... Please- what should I do? Can I just try to reboot bootloader? I did nothing yet, any FAST help would be highly appreciated!!!

Okay- rebooted bootloader- tried twrp recovery- seemed to be fine- flashed viper10 3.50 - rebooted- all clear.. .

So I just got a adrenaline rush after all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boostjunky:
What is this "Fastboot OEM reboot" command that you issued? I don't see that anywhere in the steps...

There is an optional "Fastboot OEM rebootRUU" command, but as you'll also notice, that is an optional and unnecessary step. You can flash directly from Download mode.

Did you successfully flash the firmware? After the 1st attempt of flashing, you usually get an error 90 pre-update FAIL (means it only flashed aboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions). The newer htc_fastboot.exe now auto-reboots on Error 90! If it tries to boot to your Android System, force it back into download mode - the flashing process will continue again by itself. If it doesn't auto-commence, restart the flashing process as in Step 3.

If you got that error, rebooted back into download mode, and then successfully flashed the firmware zip a second time, it would be time to simply reboot the system (or you could reboot to download mode to verify that the main version has changed to the intended firmware).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ronnbon:
Sorry, I didn't see your fast answer before updating my post. I did the firmware flashing successfull two times- than I tried the fastboot oem reboot like I read at the end of step 4 and got the command error!! report.

(by the way I had to use htc_fastboot with this batch tool- fastboot alone as command would not recognized.)

Because the flashing log seemed fine I tried to reboot bootloader and after that tested twrp and everything seemed fine.

Now I am still at the rebooting process after flashing viper10 3.50.

May I ask you another question that I run into while flashing the updated rom? Do I loose encryption when I do a wipe with twrp? I would like to get as clean as possible new installation without losing encryption...

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boostjunky:
Ah, I see where you got the fastboot OEM reboot command, now. Perhaps you had a typo when you issued the command. Either way, sounds like you made out alright.

Not the right thread for this topic, but I'll throw ya a bone, anyway. Encryption can only be removed via formatting data, not wiping (there's a difference). You'll know if you're formatting because TWRP will force you to manually type "yes" when it asks if you're sure you want to format.

After that, if you want to keep data unencrypted, you need to select the option to keep data unencrypted in the Aroma installer (if you're flashing Viper), or by whatever means the given ROM you are wanting to flash requires of you to keep from re-encrypting the data partition.

Otherwise, it will automatically re-encrypt on the next boot.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ronnbon:
Thanks- I hoped you would... ;)

I either can't find the answers anywhere or there's something I'm doing wrong. I've tried to downgrade from 2.28.401.6 to 1.96.617.20 for the past few days with absolute fail each time. I've made sure the bootloader is locked and that I'm using the right RUU. But I keep getting error 155 : Unknown error each time. I've even tried flashing the 2.28.401.6 for the sake of testing out if there's anything I'm doing wrong and it works perfectly. I've downloaded the RUU from various links as well as the main HTC site but no luck. I'm not s-off as well so doing it through RUU is my current only option. Is anyone else getting this issue?

Recent Additions

WARNINGS:

All new files are tested and working, but not quite as expected. Please see notes below.

Might cause another reboot after first boot and a "new SIM inserted" message. This is normal!

NOTES:

When flashing the NoWipe over a pre-N firmware (1.xx), it might still erase your userdata. No time to figure out why and how to prevent that.

Flashing the NoWipe over an N firmware (a.k.a reflashing the NoWipe after a full setup of an N ROM on N firmware) seems to work OK.

TWRP is NOT working as of yet. It does not boot with N firmware. Consider this package with TWRP3026 as "placeholder".

I will make a pack with updated TWRP available once the kind [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] fix TWRP.

This isn't the place for these questions. This thread is about firmware and how to flash it.

[MENTION=5320630]puneet724[/MENTION] Ask in this forum instead.

[MENTION=2579251]ccbm3[/MENTION] You are S-On? Then there is no way you are going to be able to downgrade from 2.28.401.6 to 1.96.617.20

I'm assuming you are S-On since you relocked your bootloader. If you want to downgrade, you'll need 1.95.401.4, but that probably won't work either as you can't downgrade usually while S-On.

If you are S-Off, then you didn't need to relock the bootloader, you were just using the wrong RUU. You can use the 617(US Unlocked vs 401WWE/European) RUU if you want by changing your CID and MID to US Unlocked.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tcnineteen:
Hi, xunholyx, thanks for your work! I'm searching information about manual flashing firmware on my Taiwan HTC 10, and this thread really gave me a lot of help. TWRP just released the N-firmware compatible version, so I'm considering to flash it, just want to confirm some details,

1. Since you said OTA may not contain all the firmware, is it safe to extract the firmware.zip from an OTA file and just flash it? (Or it's totally not a correct way to do so?) If it's not the correct way to get the firmware, any other way we can extract the full firmware?

2. If the firmware.zip from an OTA file is OK to flash directly, it will erase userdata since it's not modified, is it right?

3. My phone is already S-off and superCID, so I should be able to flash any firmware no matter upgrade or downgrade? If so, I should be able to flash the 1.98 firmware in order to receive OTA once Taiwan publish the Nougat update?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Just use my packs instead. They're full packs.

If you want to use some Taiwan version OTA firmware, make sure it's made to update the version you're currently running. Then you'll be ok.

No skipping of versions when using OTA firmware!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] carrsteven:
I flashed the developer/unlocked firmware on a Sprint variant and now I have no sim information, meid, imei, all gone. I've RUU'd half a dozen times and cannot get back signal at all on this phone. Did I create a paperweight? I've also run into the phone now restarts every 30 minutes or so.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yeah well. We all should know that this isn't meant for Sprint. Sorry to hear your device is now having issues.

Unfortunately, there's no support for this here, since there's a very clear disclaimer on page one stating that this is not for Sprint.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tcnineteen:
Thanks, but I'm planning to flash back the 1.98 firmware to receive the OTA for Nougat when it's available in Taiwan, and currently 1.98 is the latest here and it's what I have now. Or I don't have to flash the firmware back in order to get the OTA or manually flash the OTA file when it's available?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
That's a little more complicated. To restore OTA functionality, you'll need to run a RUU.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tcnineteen:
OK, I thought only full stock firmware zip breaks the OTA, so it won't work either with your modified NoWipe firmware? In that case, I might wait for a little while for the official update since I won't have the corresponding version of RUU… However, thanks anyway for your excellent work and keeping this thread up to date!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Read post 5. There is an explanation what breaks OTA. It's not the firmware at all. It's what you have been doing before the firmware.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tcnineteen:
Yes, I have read it, and my understanding is that in order to get the OTA, the firmware version must match the untouched system version, am I correct? So my question in the first place is whether I'm able to backup or extract my current firmware (i.e. 1.98.709.5) so that I can flash it back once there's a newer OTA for my region comes out. (I have a backup of system image and boot of 1.98.709.5 for restoration.) Or did I misunderstand anything? The reason I'd like to preserve the OTA functionality so badly is that I thought there may be some regional specific optimization, but maybe there's no such big differences at all?
