[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] HaTrED_:
Well, just gone through your entire guide, read it all over again, to update my firmware from 1.95.401.3 -> 1.95.401.4 and i just can't do it...

After first attempt got this error:

“pre-update FAIL 90 ..."

And performed just like i've instructed:

"do:

- Let the phone reboot itself into Download Mode. If it doesn't boot to download mode, force it back there (From Android with adb reboot download or with the button method, see "step 1").

- If the flash does not auto-resume, run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)"

It didn't reboot into download mode, rebooted straight way into Android, so i had to go with adb reboot download again though your batch tool.

Flash didn't resume, run same flash command again as instructued and all went fine. No error 90 and final result output was: OK.

Booted right up... it didn't update! :(

And i'm constantly notified that there is an OTA...

So, what am i doing wrong now?

PS: I think that i've finally understand my mistake - i'm just updating my firmware and not taking all updates that latest OTA on stock rom provides - software updates - right?

I was thinking that your guide would flash it all... sorry about that!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lampel:
You are correct - updating firmware won't update the software (ROM) or change the version you see under settings. If you boot back to download mode you will see your updated firmware version there.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dastinger:
Reread Sneakyghost's post. He says that his guide is only to update firmware. And have a look at the posts after that one. It might help you updating.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lumbu:
I successfully flashed the latest 1.96.617.20 NO WIPE firmware and now I'm being prompted "Your phone is encrypted To decrypt your phone, enter your screen lock password". When I enter the pin (I only had set a pin, no pw) it is rejecting it. I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik cache (not /data/media) and flashed a new ROM. After it boots up successfully i'm still getting the encryption password prompt.

Did a few searches and read that formatting data in recovery will resolve this but I do not want to lose the contents of my internal storage which I did not backup unfortunately.

Is there something I did wrong here? And in order to get back into my phone will I have to format /data and lose my internal storage contents as well?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Wrong place to discuss this. Been discussed before here too. It happens all the time. It happens when you begin doing stuff without learning about all aspects before. Take this as a lesson and format data.

I know of no way to bring back your internal data contents, so I can't offer a solution.

Hey guys, I have a sprint phone unlocked from my provider to us networks... Is there a step that I can do to flash the international firmware?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Hi,

Unfortunately I'm quite out of the loop with HTC phones and cannot answer this question.

I'm sure other team venom members, or experienced forum members can provide a qualified answer.

Oh yeah, and then there's the quite well working forum search engine.

If that fails too, you can make Google search only XDA forums (it has a syntax to only search specific sites).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos90:
No, sprint devices are not compatible with any firmware other than sprint firmware, it cannot be converted to US unlocked or international GSM. That device is built off a different device tree and unlike Verizon cannot be converted.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Thanks for that info, bud.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] A Future Pilot:
I'm on Verizon using Viper 10. Firstly, do their OTA's include the firmware? Secondly, when I first rooted/s-off'd/etc. my phone, my radio didn't work and I had to find a Verizon-specific radio to flash. Will that be the case again if I flash this latest firmware?

Thanks!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
Yes, OTA's include updated firmware.

Assuming you're wanting to update to the latest US unlocked firmware... I'm not too familiar with Verizon devices, but you should be able to delete the radio.img file from the firmware.zip and not have any issues after flashing. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well, following [MENTION=4624131]Kratos90[/MENTION]'s post, I'd think Verizon can be converted to GSM, but it actually is a CDMA network phone and you should stick to Verizon firmware unless you want to use that phone on a GSM/LTE network.

Again, since I'm only doing these GSM firmwares, I'd think this is the wrong place to ask. You should be looking at that over in the Verizon forum.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
If you talk about ota updates, from team venom.

Then the answer is no. The viper ota updates has no firmware included.

Those updates, are just for the software.

If you talk about ota updates from HTC itself, then the answer is yes. HTC's ota updates, has the firmware included.

Ok I'm downloading that RUU from here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10-t-mobile/news/ - I'll have to decrypt and repackage it. Needs a few minutes. I'll try later today when I get off work.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] markies:
Sorry to bother with an idiot question....and swear I've searched quite a bit on XDA and elsewhere. I've screwed up my CID-BS_US001 (unlocked US, which is S-Off, 1.96.617.20) and messed up making a clean TWRP backup (shame on me). While I am almost ready to throw in the towel and run an RUU, 1) I'm isolated in a Mac household and 2) hunting down a PC is a problem.

I have stock recovery, and can extract (thanks to this tool) all the files from the RUU....but can't for the life of me figure out what to do next to turn it into TWRP readable files to restore stock and reflash. Any pointers / files much appreciated
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
1.) HTC has a fastboot binary for Mac on their htcdev.com site. They'll show you the link when you enter an unlocking procedure (don't need to finish it).

2.) You can use the ROM.zip from inside the RUU and rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip, put that on the root of your sdcard and then boot to download mode. There you'll be asked wether to flash that zip or not. That is running a RUU without a pc.

3.) You can also use fastboot to flash TWRP, flash a system.img, boot.img etc.

4.) You can use TWRP to flash system.img and boot.img as well.

Dunno what else to tell you apart from: this is kind of the wrong thread. You certainly can look for similar questions or write your own in the Q&A section.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] markies:
Thanks for the reply (serious, not snarky thanks), and sorry I came off as a bigger idiot than I thought. Fastboot /ADB installed and I've used it a lot over the years, and have previously flashed using 2PS6IMG.zip method, but my problems popped up later and couldn't tell where in process I messed it up. Definitely did not realize that flashing that zip extracted from the RUU would correct Boot and System Image, so was trying to figure out how to take extracted Boot, System Image from RUU and place them in TWRP backup so I could restore those from within recovery, then flash stock recovery, and fix phone that way. Anyway, if the ZIp extracted from the RUU fixes all, I'm set. And thanks (again, seriously) for fixing my misunderstanding that I needed Stock Boot, System in addition to RUU Zip. Much appreciated.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
The zip inside the RUU is the actual RUU, just without the RUU if you get what I mean. It'll flash your entire phone and wipe everything except external sdcard.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blazin Chaos:
I'm having a HORRIBLE time trying to change the CID of my new Verizon, S-off unlocked phone. I can run adb devices from command prompt and get a response, but when I run any other commands all I get is the dreaded...waiting for device. I even installed the OP's Batch Tool to try to Super CID but it errors out also. It will run fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot reboot without any problems so I know that it sees my device.

Is there a way to change my CID without having to use a PC? All I want to do is be able to change my CID so I can flash the US unlocked firmware and get rid of the Verizon garbage on my phone. I'm on AT&T. My phone is running the AT&T APN settings but I don't have LTE.

Is there anything I can flash without bricking the phone?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
"A response" lol. Is it giving you your device serial or not? If it's not reporting the serial, it's not communicating. Guess you gotta fix your drivers. Install HTC sync manager.

There's no other, easy way. Only partition hex editing and flashing that per DD in booted Android, which I'm not even sure still works (quite a few partitions are now blocked for DD access these days and that lock isn't removed by S-OFF). The entire thing is quite dangerous and I'd rather not touch that.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blazin Chaos:
Yes, it gives me the serial. I installed the updated HTC sync manager and it still did not work. I unistalled it and just kept the drivers and still nothing. I even reinstalled Sdk and made sure it was updated and the same crap! I'm PISSED! Never had any issue doing any of this. I've been using your FUUs and running Venom ROMS for a looooooong time.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I've noticed two weeks ago when I was on vacation, that I couldn't get fastboot to work on two Windows 10 laptops. I put it down to messed up driver store. Might be, we have to do some researching on the matter. Could be a new thing with the latest Windows 10 updates. I'll try to check when home, although I really don't have time for this right now. I'd appreciate some community effort regarding this. Maybe there are some threads discussing this? Maybe you guys can do a bit of digging?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blazin Chaos:
Ok. That may be the case. I have an old M8 and I am having problems with running command prompts on that and I never had any issues before.

I'll try to find and older computer, without Windows 10 on it, and see if that works.

Thanks for everything you do for the community here. Class act work!

I should add that i have LTE working but calls and texts do not. When making a call it says -- No Cellular Network
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Actually, modems get erased by the firmware pack, if it contains a modem image. There is a switch in Android-info.txt "eraseonflash: modemstXX" which tells the phone to erase the partition before the new image gets flashed.

I find this rather weird, as the previous reports suggested that the flash went fine. I wonder if you need to redo the flash with the full wipe pack and the original RUU Android-info.txt, which contains additional wipe switches for the extra partition, for encryption etc.

I always take those out as they usually confront the user with problems.

It might be in your case those are needed though.

I'd suggest you head over to the HTC ROM download page and get the full Unlocked RUU and flash that. It should correct your issues.

Only downside: you'll have to redo your ROM setup.

Don't forget to backup important stuff from your internal sdcard first!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] drocny87:
I appreciate your help. Do you suggest i use fastboot or RUU?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Try the RUU. If you run into error 171 or similar connection related errors, use [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]'s RUU decrypt tool to pull the ROM.zip from the RUU, rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip, place that on the root of your sdcard, then go to download mode, wait until it recognizes the zip and asks you to confirm the flash with VolUp, do so, wait. Done.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] drocny87:
Thank you, when i get home i will report back!

Download mode gives me a security warning saying that --

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
you can run the tool with the -z option, that will extract and properly rename the rom.zip for sdcard flashing ;)

RUU_Decrypt_Tool -f -z RUU.exe

(the -f will only extract firmware and skip system, so it's faster, and the -z will rename the zip for sdcard flashing)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I somehow anticipated that you'd react to my mention with exactly this answer lol :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
hmm

:o:o

I'll add a "-z only" (though a semi-implied -f is still needed, for proper parsing of android-info) option at some point, .... but kinda figured most people are decrypting zips anyway ;)

EDIT: Wiping my partitions in TWRP and the doing a restore allowed me to boot...interesting to note I got my firmware from here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...6yUY2s/pubhtml under the NoWipe section so it shouldn't have messed with my ROM right?

Any firmware will work on the VZW 10 as long as you modify the android-info.txt to match your phones MID and superCID 11111111. The only thing you need to do is flash the radio.img from VZW firmware.

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 will still erase your userdata. No time to figure out why and how to prevent that.

Flashing the NoWipe over an N firmware has not been tested (a.k.a reflashing the NoWIpe after a full setup of an N ROM on N firmware). Not sure if it wipes or not.

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.

I've tried to restore my apps and data via NandroidManager, but then the apps crash.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
It's not the firmware which causes the problem that your pin pattern after a restore isn't recognized any longer. It's something that sometimes happens backing up and restoring a ROM with PIN/Pattern unlock enabled. Delete the locksettings.db* files in /data/system using TWRP file manager. So no problem belonging into this thread IMHO.

The bootlooping after firmware flash I can't tell.

You might as well remove the big red warning as what you experience is a well known issue since force encryption was introduced and there's plenty posts on xda telling you you'll need to reformat data to fix that.
