Hi

I'm currently on 1.90.401.3 International firmware running Viper10 rom.

I'm S-off and would like to go back to 1.80 Telstra firmware to see if I can get Volte working.

Is it just a simple reflash of 1.80.841.1 Nowipe firmware?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Yes make sure cid matches. Fyi leedroid ROM supports telstra.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
[MENTION=3854074]kennyg7[/MENTION]

Viper supports it too...

But switching between carriers (if e.g. default was used before), mostly need a full wipe, so that all carrier related settings are applied.

oh i see, will do. Thanks for the advice
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] antigravity:
Sneakyghost - or anyone else that knows :) hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I want to flash my HTC 10 to a local carrier firmware - so that I get VoLTE - but also want to stay stock and keep OTA's (and be compatible for Nougat when it comes).

Can I do that with your methods?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
If you want to receive and install ota updates, while running the stock ROM, then your best choice would be, to flash the matching RUU, if one is available for your carrier.

Also ensure, that you set your device to the correct carrier cid.

With the files here, you would be able to switch the firmware, but then the matching stock ROM (software) is missing...

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I'm entirely unsure about the OTA functionality after a full conversion.

Anyway, my zip's used to be good enough for a full conversion if a matching stock ROM was flashed on all devices prior to the HTC10. I have NOT tried this yet on this device but I doubt it's easy. The whole verity stuff can mess up OTA functionality big time (see warning on page 1). Conditions need to be met exactly. Since I am also not fully aware of all required conditions, I am inclined to say the easier answer is: no, with my packs and a conversion, OTA functionality cannot be achieved.

By far the simplest way to get OTA's: what [MENTION=4637027]Black-FR[/MENTION] said. Once a bigger Android update hits the streets, grab a RUU of your liking, change MID and CID according to what this RUU needs, then flash the RUU, get OTA, return to whatever you were running before.

What I don't understand is this: why don't you just stay on whatever you are running, and once the OTA becomes available and I have made the matching firmware pack, flash that???

You want to run stock, or why? If you want to run stock, this here isn't really your best option. Its a hassle more than a help. For stock people, RUU is always the best. This here is more for people who run custom ROM's, Kernel's and what not.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] antigravity:
Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.

Sounds like RUU update is the way to go. Doesn't look like there are any official RUU's out for Telstra, which is who I'm wanting to go with.

The reason I'm wanting to change the firmware is the HTC10 I'm buying is from overseas, and may not allow VoLTE with my carrier (Telstra). So I may have to flash Telstra firmware to get that functionality.

I'd prefer stock, simply because I prefer OTA's and not getting into the habit of constantly checking XDA for updates etc.

I may end up going with one of the main custom ROMs but my understanding is I'll have to flash Telstra firmware anyway to activate VoLTE on a custom ROM?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I have Telstra RUU's in my AFH account here: [Link removed due to sharing rules, sorry] Get to it, mate! And make sure to report about your conversion attempts! I'll be glad to know how it worked and if, which errors happened and how they were resolved.

Oh and yeah, I only have the old 1.21 for Telstra, the first and the revised "R" version (take that one), so you'll inevitably get into the OTA flashing thing. I'm specifically interested in that. Does it still work after a conversion? That'd be cool to hear.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] purple patch:
Is the 1.80.84.1 a typo in Google spreadsheet? I guess it's meant to be 1.80.841.1. Gonna flash it, but thought I'd check in case I missed some new 'sneaky' naming method lol.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] antigravity:
That's awesome thanks mate, will definitely give it a shot and report on the outcome... Should have the phone by the weekend so will let you know!

Hi... I am s-on at the moment and if I have understood correctly I can not use the firmwares offered in this thread? (I have an internation version, I think: mid: 2PS620000, cid: HTC__034).

If that's the case, what would you recommend me to do to be able update the firmware? Go s-off or is there other ways?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] purple patch:
If there is an RUU available for your region get that, otherwise s-off is the only option if you want new firmware.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
If you stay s-on, then you should follow this guide here, if you want to update your firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66375440

If you switch to s-off, then you could use the files, provided by sneakyghost.

Yea typo. Thanks. Once you click that link, it'll take you to AFH and the zip is then named correctly. Sorry. Fixed.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xda890:
Ok, went s-off... I am on firmware 1.3.xxx at the moment, can I just installed the firmware 04.08.2016 1.90.401.5 (no wipe) or do I need to install every firmware since 1.3.xxx ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Lol depends.

What's the region code of your current firmware? You were smart enough to xxx that out...

Generating extra posts? :D

Is it also 401? Then yes, you can directly flash any 401 from me, else I suggest you research how to properly convert. Since that was a topic yesterday already, I strongly suggest you just read back a page or two.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xda890:
By region code you mean this: mid: 2PS620000, cid: HTC__034 ? Firmware version is: 1.30.401.1 (or region code is the 401 in the firmware version string?)

WIll look back and read some more.. :angel:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
401 defines the "region" WWE, it contains settings and languages for all markets not covered by other region or carrier identifiers. Eg. 617 is US unlocked, which is basically the same, just for the US market.

Or 708/9/10 for several Asian markets, which are also the exact same as 401 just with different languages...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
This may have been answered, but I can't find it anywhere throughout several threads. I'm on the latest US unlocked firmware, and interested in giving the 1.90 WWE firmware a whirl.

Can I just edit the android-info.txt file by adding the US unlocked CID and MID? Or must I convert by changing the CID/MID using "fastboot write oem ...?"
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayplusone:
If you're S-OFF changing CID and MID is the easiest way to upgrade it. I was on latest US unlocked firmware and that's what I did. It's really easy if you're S-OFF.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
Thanks. Yeah, I'm s-off. I was just curious because I swore I saw someone say he/she only edited the android-info.txt file from the firmware with their original CID and MID. I wasn't sure if that was an option. No biggie, though, to change CID/MID.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] necropuppy:
I had to modify the MID in mt android-info.txt to make it work. the MID in the ZIP is 2PS620000 and my phone is 2PS650000. I am using a Verizon HTC 10. I had no problems flashing firmwares until this latest one. I don't know if previous firmware changed my MID or what the deal was, but changing the android-info.txt and flashing using google SDK fastboot (not HTC's) allowed me upgrade the firmware properly. I have experienced no issues since upgrading.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Weird. On any random HTC phone before the HTC10 I could have sworn that converting a Verizon device to regular gsm was a thing of impossibility. Now, everyone seems to think, it's as easy as...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hemirunner426:
Did you keep the verizon radio? I'm thinking of flashing the latest WWE firmware and maintaining the Verizon radio. Seems like it should be doable then run one of the custom roms to keep advanced call services working.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
It used to be at least three different versions of HTC devices.

Now, the hardware is all the same (pretty sure it was Doug, [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION], that figured it out first).

Regardless the hardware is now 100% identical (much to the benefit of HTC). Evidently changing carriers is as simple as RUU now?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Beaups did it after borking his own phone. I just did the right up.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I was just being cynical. I was hinting at me not wanting Verizon discussions here, again.

Oh and hi Dottat. You good, mate?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExMM:
Guys sorry I have a question.

I am already S-OFF, Super CID with Leedroid rom.

I have read all the instruction for debranding, but I have already done that when I rooted the phone basically.

From my latest Taiwanese firmware can I just flash the PMEUHL_1.90.401.5_NoWipe_TWRP3026.zip file?

Also is Super CID fine, or I am obliged to change it with the HTC__001 as the OP said? My MID is already 2PS620000 by the way.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd66:
Hi all

I finally achieved s-off on my phone.

I'm running 2.7.0 Viper10, which firmware should I flash and how, please?

Is the only difference between 1.90.401.3 and 1.90.401.5 is TWRP version related?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You're going on my nerves, people.

I've answered these questions yesterday, the day before yesterday and then I've written an extensive bit of info in this thread, in the M9 thread, in the M8 thread and in the M7 thread.

Then XDA has a fantastic search function that works totally awesome with the correct search terms.

Then there's Google search, which can be used to search XDA and works even better than the build-in search.

This time, someone else can maybe point out where the answers to these questions are hidden.

Hint hint: it's all there already! Yay! Happy Easter! Go find your eggs!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExMM:
Sorry Sneakyghost, I didn't mean to be lazy, of course you are right, normally I always search first.

I was reading the guide how to debrand the HTC while I was writing you on the forum at the same time, I didn't even think to search it before, my bad. :good:

EDIT: all done! :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnCorleone:
Mr. Ghost....was it you that did the "Venom Sound Enhancer" and "Venom X Loud" back on the M7 ViperROM? It added a bunch of preset EQ settings as well as the ability to make your own and "X Loud" gave the whole phone volume more muscle...especially the ringtone. It seems like the current two toggle Dolby option with the customization through a kinda long process of checking tones at each frequency and each ear...I just thought it was a masterpiece addition that blended seamlessly with the sound options..
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd66:
Sorry, didn't mean to anger you, Will search better next time.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
No, it wasn't sneaky and it was implemented on the OneX...

But now it's gone since a long time, due to incompatibility and it's definitely off topic here.

Hey Sneakyghost- just thought I'd give you that update. :o

Was able to apply the Telstra RUU which is awesome. I now have VoLTE

All I needed to do was Unlock, S-Off, Super-CID and then flash the 1.21 RUU file you linked too.

Upon booting up- I obtained VoLTE immediately and an OTA popped up straight away. I had to change the CID back to TELST001 for the OTA to work.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnCorleone:
That's right...it was the One X. The second part of your reply is a bit ironic since Jan told me to ask about it here. It was a simple question thanks for being the thread monitor...one post does seem to get people totally lost.

No, you never where told, to ask about it in here.

Wait, that's not right. lol. I just came from the M8 forum answering questions there, and that is what that partition is on that. On 10 it is the DIP partiton. I'm unclear on what that is exactly, but it's some kind of switch for the internal SD. I don't think it has anything to do with firmware, but I could be wrong. I never have heard of this issue until now.

You are trying to save face! Jan EDITED his post to make his buddy look right...how cute! The original reply said to "go ask Sneakyghost in his thread" and all that remains now is the joke about the animated weather and ring lock. That's why I responded to it while answering someone else's post
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos90:
If you think Jan or Black-FR have enough time or care enough to conspire to make you look bad you've lost it. No one cares, your post is totally useless, the fact that you continued being off topic to talk about this rather than move on is absolutely ridiculous. Black-FR is an important member of the team, he doesn't need to be correct and you incorrect to look good, simply look at his post history or ask anyone on the team what member has tested every single tweak for years and aids in the stability of the ROM. Let this end here, unless you have something useful to post or something on topic, don't post here, Sneakyghost doesn't like OT on his threads and people who read every post here (including me) or come here to try to figure things out don't need your useless posts for extra reading.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnCorleone:
I got two Jan quotes together. I even attacked Sneakyghost because I thought he was accusing me of copy pasting same questions in different threads. My tester XDA labs is grouping quotes out of order and it has crashed several times but this would probably explain the confusion...I have been using ViperROM on the last 6 or 7 HTC devices and I have constantly said this is the most talented development team and my all-time favorite custom ROM...actually the quote from Jan below that Sneakyghost replied to showed up as both attached to my quoted post. That's why I replied that I had to head over to his thread. I switched to a stable XDA Labs build and now it's not crashing or grouping quotes together. If I am at fault I wholeheartedly apologize. I just initially saw the "Go to Sneakyghost thread" along with him busting on me about bringing back old features together.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos90:
I read every post of both threads, I have seen all the posts in question, already knew you were mistaken. And this post is basically a slightly different version of your post in the ROM thread, which I already read. When I said let's end this here, I meant no more replies concerning this because I also think the post I'm quoting is useless, I also use labs beta, it's no excuse. The reason I think this is useless is because you basically attacked the integrity of Team Venom and one of it's members (Black-FR), and in this post or the post on the ROM thread there is no apology. Although you complimented and stated your admiration for team Venom I personally would have preferred a simple apology to Black-FR and /or the team without the explanation rather than justification showing why the error was made. Anyway I'll end this here... *glad it's sorted now I suppose, enjoy the ROM and/or sneaky's firmware*

Looking for a little bit of help.

When flashing I got Error10. So I edited android-info with Notepad++. Rezipped using 7zip using the zip profile and normal compression level.

You have to have matching CID and MID's this time around. I converted mine to WWE with SuperCID and haven't had an issue. None of this will work without S-OFF.

Does anyone have any idea how I'd flash it?

Edit - got it flashed but had to be in bootloader mode
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
The reason is that hex-editing something means altering data structures in a way that is not meant to happen. One typo, one tiny mistake, and the phone does never boot again.

The Aboot is in a crucial position. Without it, you need to revive the chip from the outside. You will need to disassemble the phone, work out where the testpoints are hidden, and then solder hair-thin wires to some contacts, then connect them to a jtag box like the RIFF Jtag Box, and then you need to have the phone supported by the box software. Then you need enough basic software engineering skills to understand how to rewrite a dead chip.

I for one must say, I am not interested in even trying to learn all that. I rather do not risk it.

Additionally, there is the added risk of flash fails (which apply to all firmware flashes though).

So, I am not entirely sure why you do not understand that the no-red mod won't be available from me, but I assume it has to do with you not yet understanding the concept of responsibility.

One does not simply unleash dangerous stuff upon the masses.

Have you ever seen that video of that young girl that was handed a loaded AK47 with security open, who then accidentally shot the trainer?

You would't give a gun to a kid, would you? Common sense, right?

This ain't as dangerous as a gun of course. But you also do not hand code or mods to people knowing they can run into deep sh!t with it. You simply don't.

What would you do with the kid and the gun example? Educate. Train. Baby steps. Careful. And you would only give a gun to a person trained and certified.

So. I tried this strategy in 2013 with the M7. I thought it was better to make this mod completely transparent. But all it did was that some semi-eejits picked it up and began posting no-red edits with ZERO educative part to it. Partly not even a mention how dangerous this can be.

And THAT is the reason why I am not making them anymore.

For people who ask and are willing to take the risk, the guide is out there. I posted the link. And you may play with it as well. Its not gone. I left you your freedom of choice. I am not taking away the No-Red from anyone. I am solely saying that I am pulling my support entirely because I can't see putting tons of time into making it transparent, simple, understandable and therefore as safe as can possibly be, only to be screwed over by some A-holes that post that stuff for their personal gain and then coming back at me with "I am doing this for the community".

Right. As if. If you care about the community, you do not expose it to risks. Simple as that.

So, you are VERY welcome to play with my guide and report if its still working with the 10. I hope it will. Because I won't flash one of those to my device anymore. So there is no safety net from me anymore.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yup.

Direct image flashing = bootloader

ZIP flashing = Download mode

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
I bricked a test S-OFF A9 trying the red text mod. After that, HTC got rid of it in most cases, so I wouldn't risk flashing an unsigned aboot ever again, especially with all the changes and additional security measures HTC has been implementing.

Like I said, unlock the phone again and see if that fixes it, I'm sure plenty of people would like to know. You seem to pay attention to jcase and beaups, they even say don't try to edit it. I would truly listen to them, especially since it is too risky to change the tampered flag and lock/unlock flag, as the captain said, HTC obviously paid attention to certain things we do, so they have gave the ability to unlock and throw some custom things without it being there. But it seems you get the idea now I hope
