You can only flash this with S-OFF and once you're S-OFF the signature doesn't mean anything anymore.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobrax2:
oh, cool, didnt know that for soff signature doesnt matter

thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkenedpath:
Everyone knows...... S-off only. Why would you be here if not. No more edits. It's not an option anymore on the new devices. Unlock your phone again, and see if the red text disappears.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobrax2:
i have soff. that wasnt the problem. but i dont understand why no more edits? it the edit does absolutely the same as it did before on so many devices, why no more?

as for unlocking, jcase said its better to not have it unlocked as it could be a problem locking it back later
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkenedpath:
I'm sure sneaky is frowning upon this right now. But this is the last time I answer you. The way the security is handled now, and aboot, not bootloader , it is too risky to edit the aboot. Unlock your phone, and see if that helps. If not, get use to the red text. The aboot is what keeps your phone intact, and one wrong thing, your buying a new one. Leave the text alone. I refuse to touch it anymore, as to sneaky and others who have said to. If not, do it yourself, and see what happens. If your phone won't turn back on, you've made a mistake.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Blahhhh

I have the latest f HTC fastboots adb etc, everything else on the batch program works for me and using adb for other things also. I used to use the generic fastboot/adb but switched to the htc_fastboots, maybe I need to go back.

All those command you posted do work, that's why I'm lost
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
Interesting interpretation, i second the vote to have the files renamed properly:

1) Full Stock should be renamed to:

HTC_10_PMEUHL_1.30.401.1_FullStock_WIPE_device_Firmware_does_not_contain_systemimg_everything_else_stock.zip

2) No Wipe

HTC_10_PMEUHL_1.30.401.1_FullStock_excluding_WipeStuff_splash_bootimg_otherStuff_StockRecoveryReplacedWithTWRP_Firmware_does_not_contain_systemimg.zip

:eek::eek::eek:

But then again, "I am trying to circumvent this problem with my FULL ZIP packages - with these you can safely jump from a very old firmware right up to the newest."

So why would the OP provide OTA firmwares, if that's what he's trying to avoid :confused:

And btw, "FULL ZIP

packages

" is not the same as "...FullStock.zip"

and the

should also give a hint

if all else fails, just ask ;)

Yep just ask is what i did and what i got in return was a smart arse remark.

So basically theses zips are usless if you stay up to date with firmware zips taken from ota. Good work ????
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
what are you flashing? it would be helpful if you posted your entire command prompt output (including the commands you typed)

and you are S-OFF right?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
That's entirely up to you; though more than one person has "missed" an OTA firmware update, and got his firmware "in limbo" (partially updated and partially not)... possibly brick-ish (quite a few on the M7), since some partitions can be "sensitive" to what's around them.

So many of us prefer to use the firmwares here.

But at the end of the day, it's your choice what to use, what not to use, and how to use it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
These zips are for updating your firmware, so if you stay updated via OTAs, then why would you be needing a firmware.zip to update?

They are here for people who don't want to go back to stock to update via OTA, then have to reflash TWRP and SU to regain root. It's a quicker and easier solution for people who are S-Off.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
I tried to do the pull but nothing came out to the dump folder for me either. But I got an image, resized it to the correct dimensions, and saved it as the right format (.bmp) and I threw that in the dump folder and used option 2. it converted it and flashed it to my phone. all worked well doing it that way

I'll link the image I used. Maybe you can throw it in the /dump folder and use option 2 to load it to you phone as well.

im flashing PMEUHL_1.80.841.1_NoWipe_TWRP3025, and im using the same commands as somebody else posted here

im currently S-on

so would it be advisable to download the signed RUU Zip (Stock Signed)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Yes. You need signed firmware since you are S-On
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
It works on M7 through to 10, always has.

[EDIT]

(Except for that yucky error 171, which has made it work a little less lately :D )

If I'm on a Unlocked version, S-Off and my firmware is 1.80.401.3, I have the latest right?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
It's WWE what you have there, but if unlocked works for you,WWE will work too most likely.

And then you're on the latest, yes.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Yes
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Read the first thing i posted. I have never taken an ota to be updated. Why would you have to reflash twrp and root? Your SOFF just delete the boot and recovery image out of the firmware.zip. so you are wrong. These zips are usefull if you have missed an update thats all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
How am I wrong? You said update via OTA. If you are downloading, modifying, then flashing the downloaded OTA with fastboot, then you are not updating via OTA.

If anyone is wrong here, it is you.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
I said update via the firmware.zip from the ota

You are wrong.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] treetolber:
Ooops, I'm on 1.80.617.1.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Okay. You did say that. So basically, this thread is only useful for people who don't want to do that on their own.

Hope that answer satisfies you. :rolleyes:

Most people here are on custom ROMs, and don't get system update prompts, and don't get the OTA option.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Most people on custom ROMS will know about a firmware update. Anyway this will be my last post here. @moderators feel free to delete all my posts in this thread. Thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
And most people on custom ROMs will use a firmware package such as what is offered here.

Nice talk. Goodbye.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
thanks for the image, exactly the one I wanted. Option 2 says it worked, goes through all the lines, see it download something to the phone, and reboots the device, but still have the bright white screen before the bootanimation. just may give up :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterchivo:
hello. i new to this i just s-off by sunshine but i cant flash any firmware. if i use the bach tool it closes when i select the firmware and if i do manually it fails ? any advice?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
My impression the past four years was, that most people who flash custom ROM's have no clue about firmware. Hence my extensive descriptions. The for real. The sole purpose of my long, long posts is to help people learn and those posts would not be there if most people would know about firmware.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
How do you "select" firmware with the batch tool? It's got no file picker. So either you're doing it wrong or you're using someone else's tool...

Anyhow. Instructions and lots of background info can be found in posts one through to five (page one).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
There are other advantages to having these firmware zips here, a few examples:

* why would I want to download a 400MB OTA, just to extract a 30MB firmware (considering my connection speed)

* I can upgrade and downgrade firmware at will

* I can flash a firmware not originally for my variant, change CID if needed, and flash another edition
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterchivo:
hello. this is the error i get
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
you need to supercid your phone it looks like to me.. your cid is matching with the firmware your trying to flash is my guess

try fastboot oem writecid 1111111
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Please don't go back. You won't fix anything with that. The issue you have is not down to Fastboot. The generic fastboot will very likely not do certain commands you might need on a HTC or throw errors on them. HTC has extended fastboot with some certain, predefined, OEM commands which manufacturers can lock or unlock at will. So, HTC's fastboot does do some things more, like for instance being able to deal with system.img larger than 2GB and stuff like that.

I believe, iirc, the pull command still needs a patched adbd inside the boot.img. The pull command utilizes the dd tool which accesses partitions on low, raw level, so you can do full, bit-identical clones of your partitions to a file. I use this command "adb shell dd if....") which requires the adb deamon on the phone (adbd) run unsecured in root mode. That can be patched. Some devs around XDA have/offer such boot.img.

For now, consider this option kind of broken for Anroid 5+ (five and up). It can work, but its not working as per default for all users.

Do you ONLY have the bright white screen before the bootanimation or do you have that, plus your own splash showing?

I think I had that problem at some stage too, that the image would seemingly be transfered to the phone, but never flashed. I can't remember, what that caused. Could you please tell me, which Tool version do you use and please can you run it again and copy/paste me the output into your answer?

If you want to capture all steps of your progress in the tool, it might be necessary to open the "C:\Android\com\10splash1_converter.bat" with a text editor like Notepad++ (please don't use standard windows notepad). Then see the section where it flashes the splash-screen to the phone and remove any "cls" (clear screen) lines (you can also deactivate them by placing a # in front of those lines). And maybe insert a "pause" command at some steps, which will prompt you for a confirmation with a key press to move on. That way, you can basically watch the script execute line by line, and then copy the content here for me.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Very simple answer, mate: repeat in download mode :laugh:

[EDIT]

Or, I dunno, I think that Error 35 was the one when people tried to do this in bootloader. Can you try in DL mode please and report back to us?

Instead of this:

:bmp2raw
echo converting BMP to raw and pushing to partition 21...
ffmpeg -i "..\dump\*.bmp" -s 1440x2560 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 "..\dump\Splash1.nb0"
wait 5000
[COLOR="red"]adb reboot bootloader[/COLOR]
htc_fastboot flash sp1 ..\Dump\Splash1.nb0
del ..\dump\Splash1.nb0
cls
COLOR 0A
echo.
echo.
echo. rebooting, watch your new splash!
echo.
echo.
htc_fastboot reboot
pause
goto TOP

Put this into the script:

:bmp2raw
echo converting BMP to raw and pushing to partition 21...
ffmpeg -i "..\dump\*.bmp" -s 1440x2560 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 "..\dump\Splash1.nb0"
wait 5000
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]adb reboot download[/COLOR]
htc_fastboot flash sp1 ..\Dump\Splash1.nb0
del ..\dump\Splash1.nb0
cls
COLOR 0A
echo.
echo.
echo. rebooting, watch your new splash!
echo.
echo.
htc_fastboot reboot
pause
goto TOP

[EDIT 2]

My 1.4.0 reboots the phone to bootloader. I dunno why. I thought I had fixed that. Really strange. I am sure I had it reboot do DL because it was an issue I ran into before putting it here on thread and both my active copy of the tool as well as my project have it set to bootloader. A bit of an odd thing. I'll look into this properly tomorrow. Past 2am here. dead tired.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
i been in download mode, but i tried all modes also :).

I changed that line, didn't work. same problem. also changed a line below it to 'download from bootloader also, no effect.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
I flashed mine while my phone was booted up and running. ? when it was done, it rebooted my phone

Is your phone the Verizon branded, or the converted unlocked?

-HTC One m8-
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I have the same issue and the problem is ADB. Not Fastboot.

ADB doesn't see my phone.

So, what is this?

Well in my case it simply is the fact that a new Viper ROM comes with Developer Settings disabled and USB debugging also disabled.

To fix, go into Settings/About/Software/more and then tap 7 times onto "Build Number" - that will enable developer settings.

Go back to Settings, then enter Developer options and enable USB Debugging in there.

Now it should work. It does for me.

Also, on another note: bootloader mode is correct. It was download mode that was wrong. I mixed that up with fastboot zips. Fastboot zips ONLY work in download. Direct image flashing (fastboot flash splash sp1.nb0 for example) only works in bootloader.

Sorry for the confusion. I shouldn't be dealing with this crap in the middle of the night.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] afuller42:
actually viper came enabled default for me on latest 1.4 . I'm just leaving the house now, but your saying to change it back from download to bootloader again (the line I edited yesterday)?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yea. One word, mate. Just swap bootloader/download.

And then check your USB Debugging. I bet that's it. Mine was disabled after flashing 2.4.0 I reckon. Not entirely sure tho. Just noticed that today.

New firmware 1.90.401.3 is downloadable on MaximusHD thread of Llabtoofer as a RUU. Can this be modified to flash from external SDCard without a computer/adb+fastboot ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
It's a firmware.zip? Then go ahead and rename it
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Recent additions: 1.90.401.3 WWE FullStock + NoWipe

Football's zip does not have the android-info.txt manipulated, if it is the same zip what I got from him a while ago. It will kill encryption and then leave the user in need to RUU. Ask [MENTION=4905624]j to the 4n[/MENTION] about it :laugh:

Recent Additions

NOTES:

FullStock warnings apply - can break stock OTA, will wipe everything and also reset encryption. Not modified other than the system.img removed. Please play with it but be careful and make sure you have some 401 RUU at hand to restore in case things go south. Still not really confident with this FullStock stuff.

WARNINGS:

FullStock untested!

[*]NoWipe is fully tested and OK!

Are these firmwares for all variants of the htc 10. I was fully stock yesterday and had no updates. So today I decided to root and flash the venom rom. I just want to make sure this firmware will work with my htc 10 unlocked running on T-Mobile.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jump1ng:
Thanks for providing the nice no WIPE and the excellent guide on how to flash the thing!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well. It says GSM, doesn't it? Page 1? So it certainly won't be serving Verizon and Sprint well. Since the TMUS phone this time around shares development base with the Verizon variant, I am not entirely sure about the cross-compatibility between TMUS and Verizon and Gen Unlocked, but if you are T-Mobile (I assume TMUS, as all other T-Mobile companies out there are just regular GSM), you should be able to use this if you're ok to loose carrier specific features such as WiFi Calling, MMS & SMS over WiFi, VoLTE etc.

If you are any other T-Mobile (DE, CH, whatever) you can use the 401 firmwares without any problem.

Just note this (new info for many people still): HTC Has changed how SuperCID behaves. SuperCID no longer makes the phone ignore CID and MID. Since the HTC 10, SuperCID seems to ONLY ignore CID. Means, if you want to convert, you will need to go SuperCID and change the MID.

1.) you can get to it through Venom Tweaks / Misc tab

2.) It's been working since ever

3.) You need to type *#*#3424#*#* - what you typed there is wrong.

Guess what. I had them up two days ago, bro. Had to pull them quickly due to nobody else having had a release before and you know the drill, don't you? Leakster first, then the copycats.

Seriously man, that is one of the top topics in my first posts. Read that. The entire thing is about these zips NOT being incremental but full.
