Though I can certainly understand how you come to the conclusion that your helpful posts are often overlooked (and there's no denying that they truly are - it's been confirmed time and time again as people ask questions that could have been answered if they had simply read your first few posts in the thread), it's probably also important to remember that the "oem rebootRUU" command was definitely stated (at least in your original instructional post) that it was optional, and that flashing in Download Mode is the preferred method since it gives a more comprehensive output.

I've owned a few HTC phones and have used your tutorials on a very regular basis, and have never once used the "oem rebootRUU" command. On older HTC devices (Incredible, Thunderbolt, Rezound), I always just used the SD Card method. After the Rezound, I took a break from HTC for a couple years, and returned with the M9 and now the HTC 10. Since the M9 (and if I had been around for the m7 and m8), your threads have been (and would have been) invaluable for folks like myself that read as much as possible to become well informed of processes and potential risks. And I feel that often times, folks like myself tend to post as infrequently as possible (save it be for the purpose of helping others - mostly by pointing out to others where they can find already existing answers) so as not to bury pertinent information with unnecessary questions, or with off-topic tangents.

All that being said, it's certainly your prerogative on whether or not you decide to continue contributing to the HTC community in the ways you have been for many years now, and I would totally understand if you decided not to continue. It must be exhausting (and annoying) to spend so much of your time building tutorials, only to have folks look right past the answers found in tutorials, and ask (or, as it often seems, demand) that you assist them on a personal level to do what has already been outlined. Then you have the folks who may have read only portions of your tutorials, but didn't get the full story or didn't read the warnings, and they end up unintentionally wiping, or, even worse, bricking their devices, only to point the finger of blame at you.

You're a good man for contributing as much as you have thus far, and I'm sure there are many silent folks who greatly appreciate your contributions. Sadly, those "thanks" don't get expressed as often as the "lack of thanks" do. So, if I haven't already made it known or obvious, THANK YOU, for everything you've done for the community.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boostjunky:
It was quite impolite.

On top of that, it is a comment very closely related to asking for an E.T.A.

And if you know anything about Sneakyghost at all, you would know he's already on the verge of discontinuing support for the HTC community due to his work being taken for granted.

It's the feeling of entitlement that everyone portrays. Like I said, hopefully it's just a matter of language barrier, but your comment came across as if to say;

"Hey, servant, why haven't you completed this task yet?"

Hello!I have a S-OFF Htc10 with supercid.Running by me now Viper 10 5.0.0 rom on old MM firmware.Wich Nougat firmware can i flash on my device?Mí MID number is 2PS620000.thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Please post output of "fastboot getvar all" command (remove the IMEI frorm the output before posting here).

You can use my Batch Tool from Post 4 to obtain that output.

The MID is not enough to tell you which firmware you need.

Just popped in to say thanks to Sneakyghost for all the work you've put into this thread. Much appreciated.

I've relied on your nowipe zip files for all firmware updates since I purchased the HTC 10. This thread is the 1st place I look when i hear rumors of new firmware.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
long story short, i tried to flash the 2.0 firmware with my htc 10 and got stuck in a reboot. so i tried to reflash the the 1.9 firmware and now my phone is completely unresponsive....even when i plug it in the charge ligh doesnt even come on...any advice to bring it back to life??
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Could be a brick.

You used each time, a full firmware package?

How long you did keep it connected to the charger?

(If it's completely empty, it could take a few minutes, until you see a reaction)

You already tried, if the device is detected by a PC?

(Check the device manager, while using a windows PC)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
yes, i used the firmware i got from this thread. the 2.0 and the 1.9 that i tried to revert back to

i had it plugged in to the charger and PC for about a minute and nothing...it was at 93 percent when it went dark.

no response from the buttons at all. any combination of the power button and volume keys....
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
There where sadly already a few bricks, while flashing back, from 2.xx to 1.xx.

But so far, it only happened, while those people used just a "ota" firmware, for the downgrade.

Only button combination, which I would think of, is holding all three buttons at the same time.

(This helped me, during some boot issues, while the normal forced reboot didn't help)

But I don't really think, that it would bring back your device.

And the last thing would be, connecting it to a PC and check the device manager, if it's recognized as "unknown" or anything else.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
wish i would have known about the brick issued while flashing back. the bootloop i was getting could have been worked around. i tried everything. its completely dead, i guess it just gives me the excuse to get the red HTC 10 that i've been eyeing. luckily i did a back up of everything before this all happened. i'll just have to use my trusty M8 until the new phone arrives

:crying:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Maybe someone else, still has another idea. [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]

But I got the feeling, that you will have to get the red 10.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lastwurdz:
i'm not even mad, because i had a gut feeling this would happen before i attempted anything. i'm just going to try to have HTC replace the phone without telling them that i f*cked up myself. just that it wont start up anymore. see how far that gets me. if not....then just buy the red one. or possibly do both. either way, i will attempt the same stunt again more carefully next time. (i was trying to upgrade the firmware so i can upgrade to viper 5.0 from 3.5)

thanks.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Sorry if this has been asked already, couldn't really fond anything pertaining to it through the thread search. Would it be possible to flash the T-Mobile firmware (pme_ul) to a international HTC 10 (pme_uhl) without anything bad happening?

I'm trying to get WiFi calling and VoLTE to work on Viper 5, my firmware is 2.41.401.3 currently. Already talked to [MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION] about it and they said that WiFi calling isn't supported on WWE firmware (to his knowledge).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
I shouldn't be a problem to do that. Change your MID and CID to Tmous first, then flash the firmware or do a backup and run the RUU, then restore the backup.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
My CID is already set to superCID but I just don't know what I should set my MID to. I don't want to run into the issue of the previous user did how his phone became unresponsive from trying to downgrade his firmware. I don't even know if it'll fix the problem I'm having but it's worth a shot.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
It's the same as the US Unlocked version, 2PS650000. Actually, you could also use the US Unlocked firmware/RUU and it should support it as well.

You don't have to worry about the phone becoming unresponsive as long as you aren't going from 2.xx firmware to 1.xx firmware. Tmous is on 2.37.531.5 and US Unlocked is on 2.38.617.6, so no problem with that.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Okay cool. So I should have no issues changing my MID from XX6200 to XX6500 like with custom ROM's not being supported etc? So does the higher version firmware numbers mean that they're better than the lower ones? Like since I have the international version with firmware 2.41.401.3, would me downgrading to the US Unlocked or t-mobile firmware mean I lose anything or have worse service, etc? Sorry for all the questions, if you want you can just PM me so we're not flooding this thread.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Nah. There'll be no issues. It's barely a downgrade. You can pm me if you have more questions about this, but as far as flooding the thread these questions will probably help someone else. If they use the search function that is (and we all know how that goes :)).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Sent you a PM. I don't mind talking about it on here either as long as [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] doesn't mind. :)

P.S. I actually did use the search function in XDA Labs but I'm hella sick and I've been working more than I have been getting sleep due to a shift change at work that was decided last minute lol.

Hi guys,

Sorry for dumb question. I've got an Australia Telstra HTC 10 currently on Viper 3.5 (marshmallow) and want to update to 5.0

It seems like I need to flash new stock Android N firmware. Looking in download list, the latest Australia Telstra firmware is from 15/10/2016 and so doesn't seem appropriate.

I'm thinking I need to S-off and flash latest international firmware e.g. 2.41.401, then flash unofficial TWRP then Venom Rom? Would this work?

You should enable adb server into development settings. BTW you can easily reboot to download mode using the item from advanced reboot menu (or shutdown your device and power on holding vol-down and go ahead into download mode).

Have read some post on xda about bricks when downgrading firmware.

So I was unsure to use the no_wipe firmware. Thought it is incremental and maybe something will be missing when downgrading.

I haven't tried anything, I was too hesitant since I didn't want to brick the device.

Should I try flashing a rom or my last backup (Stock backup just before I did all this, telstra 1.95fw).

This time nobody asked for those files. I thought I'll spend my wonderful sunny winter day off with doing something for those few Taiwanese people I've been fortunate enough to meet here. You have always been leaving a very nice impression. Thanks for sticking around.

I am old, fat and lazy (call me Garfield!) and as such not overly motivated to spend all day flashing these files back-and-forth. Please do test them yourselves. Thank you.

The FullStock is so massive (300+ MB) because of an excessive bloatware partition. Please complain to HTC about it. (What the helll is in there even? Do you have some weird law in Taiwan saying phone makers have to bomb you folks with bloat apps?).

Even though Stifilz has collected a lot of older versions for Asia-TW as well, I chose to limit my firmware to 1.9.x and upward, since I doubt there is need for the old files, considering we have moved to 2.x and Taiwan as such is a rather small usergroup. Should there be need for the older versions (1.20, 1.21, 1.30, 1.53, 1.80) let me know, I can do that of course.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
That really doesn't belong here. I don't deal in Linux and then its quite off-topic as there haven't been any changes in how these firmware zips are made in years and years.

I can't seem to get into the recovery after recovering my backup and I'm still having boot loops. I can still get into bootloader and download mode. Not sure what my next steps should be. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Huh?

And that was after flashing which package from here on what device model using what method and how exactly can you not get into recovery?

My NoWipe packages flash TWRP 3.0.3-0 (the newest) and that works just fine? I have never had an issue like that with my packs.

Your description basically lacks anything that could help determine what you are even talking about.

[EDIT]

I just realized you have been posting here before.

Your logs are A-OK. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your flash. It all went as expected.

The Error 32 is new and seems to be stemming from HTC unifying build-trees, so there are partition images in the zip that do not match any partition on the phone. Those get skipped.

The end-result is still "OKAY". However, the Error is listed at the start of this thread and seems to have changed its meaning. In your case, it is NOT a header-error as suggested.

I will have to update this piece. Thanks for reminding me. I wanted to do that already last week.

Your boot loops come from not flashing a ROM afterwards. That sometimes happens and is usually kernel (boot.img) related.

You can flash that firmware, then flash some ROM, then it works.

If it doesn't, do a "fastboot erase cache" (or "htc_fastboot erase cache" depending on the fastboot version you use) - this will clear Kernel and recovery cache.

There is NOTHING wrong with your device.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkSayer:
Sorry for the late reply, I was reading through so many pages to figure out what other users had done so far. I thought I made a mistake by using a .401 base.

So to reiterate your steps:

1. Reflash that same firmware (that should re-flash the included twrp).

2. Flash rom (this is where I choked and restored my back up :crying:)

3. fastboot erase cache if no boot.

I'm just hoping I can access my recovery, otherwise I'm not sure what I'll have to do.
