Not with my tool. Drivers are an absolute mess. Always causing issues or aren't working properly. I found that the only safe way for first-time installs are the HTC Syncmanager drivers. Go to HTC's website and find the software HTC Syncmanager, install that. Once done, go to Windows control panel, remove software, then remove HTC Syncmanager. The drivers will stay.

Removing HTC Syncmanager after installing it is important, because it launches adb.exe in the background, which causes other adb.exe's like from my batch tool to not connect to your phone or lose connection or simply fail to launch at all.

Edit: sorry, my bad. Will be reading much more attentively from now on. Thx btw
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Just go to the control panel and remove HTC Sync. That should be enough. It worked for me in the past.

To tell the truth, I don't know what he means by "remove software" either. Maybe remove the HTC Sync.exe file:confused: Sneaky is probably having too many Becks with green dye in it today. :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Jesus Ed. What's wrong with you. :D

Long known concept to install HTC syncmanager and then remove it again...

[EDIT]

oh gosh I think I misread parts of your reply. The bottom bit of your reply is another quote of the other guy. What did you do, Ed? Having issues quoting posts? :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Yeah I know bud, but I usually would just install then remove Sync (after installing drivers) in the control panel/ programs/uninstall a program. I never had to do two uninstalls is what I'm saying

Man I get my mistake now. You stumbled over the word "again" - it had a different meaning though. I modified the post now. Read it again. Hope its clear now.

I never meant to uninstall HTC Syncmanager twice.

I'm talking about this part. I'm only replying here because it isn't edited after all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Oops. Another part that isn't clear.

It was meant to read like this: once done, go to control panel/remove software/ and uninstall HTC Syncmanager.

Hi guys! sorry for stupid question, i'm s-on, but with android 6.0 firmware, if i have read correctly the best way for my situation to upgrade the firmware is to use ruu metod, so i have found on htc site the ruus. i am on

1.53.708.4 and i have to go to 3.16.708.3_R , but i think i have to pass trought 2.41.708.31, so i have first to flash 2.41.708.31 then 3.16.708.3_R right? if i have understood , this procedure ill reflash the original recovery, so after done that i have to re flash it. I'am on a nougat rom will this cause me problem when i will flash oreo firmware? sorry for my bad english.

Does this constitute a bricked device? Is there any hope?

S-ON, CID_034, Bootloader Unlocked

I embarked on the endeavor of trying to update to Orea after figuring it should be fairly simple. Update new firmware and update LeeDroids rom, how hard could that be? Well, I messed up... I downloaded the appropriate firmware from the first post CID_034, wipe all... Went through the process and found out it won't boot to OS... In fact I only have access to about 7 different screens, stock recovery, download mode and bootloader. Imgur album with the screens I've access to https://imgur.com/a/HKqbp for confirmation. I've tried solving this issue for about 10 hours... Tried loading through download mode roughly 15 different files (stock RUU zips, same series older firmware, boot.img's), most will give me a footer error, or an RU fail 9 or 19... I have also tried to fastboot but because I am S-ON, I apparently can't do anything on that regard. Tried a few files through the stock recovery as well, giving me similar errors to download mode.

I beg for the wisdom of someone to assist me on this issue. Did I brick my phone?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
This thread is for S off. You cant boot to os because you erased it. Flash twrp followed by ROM depending what firmware your on now because it probably didn't even flash firmware. Boot to download mode and your firmware version will be next to OS.

Or flash this firmware follwed by RUU. Both files are here.

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1gXmx0QDCuoEWWpx0p6g_wIdC_-gPGa9O

All of this info is dependent on what your firmware version is so you should give that info before proceeding.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] patrik.esk:
EDIT2: OKAY, so either I am stupid, or the issue was even more nuanced than I thought, from the files provided I extracted the boot.img, flashed that in download mode using fastboot (since i can't access any adb functions)... it went through, after that I flashed TWRP through download mode as well "fastboot flash recover XXX.img" and it also worked (I tried this before but it didn't work, or could be i tried from bootloader only and not download mode). And as usual from TWRP flashed rom. I don't know how it was this easy right now! I should've been able to resolve this in a MUCH shorter time. Thx for all the help and thoughts some of you might have put into this. Apologies again for hijacking the thread.

EDIT: I think the key issue I am having is actually ADB not communicating with my device correctly, I can use fastboot (issues commands, but fastboot can't flash because S-ON), but ADB is not responding, even after reinstalling the HTC drivers 4.10.0.001 version or with ADB Universal Driver, either way, no devices detected, because of this I can't issue any commands to download mode. After extensive search my issue seems to be rather unique at least I can't find a solution online. --

My apologies for hijacking the S-OFF thread, the desperation is real, I will try with the files you provided, thanks for those. I provided pictures of my phones screen in the imgur album, there in the picture with the download mode on in written the following:

*** UNLOCKED ***

*** FUSED ***

htc_pmeuhl PVT S-ON

LK-1.0.0.0000

RADIO-2.0.U010241a@71204

OS-3.16.401.2

Jan 3 2018,21:18:38(1012001)

The firmware update process through download mode was successful at the time. But it did indeed erase the OS, which I can't for the life of me install. Is there an appropriate thread (which is alive) I should continue this discussion? Thank you all
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr Hofs:
Not sure if this is helpful but adb only works on a running OS and in TWRP and fastboot only in bootloader and download mode. Fastboot not flashing is not because you are s-on, flashing works fine with s-on but if you want to flash firmwares via download mode and fastboot commands you need to be in the so called HTC ruu mode.

But download the 3.16.401 ruu.,zip, rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip and copy it to the SDcard, then boot into download mode and follow the flash instructions. Should work just fine. Or flash TWRP and a custom oreo rom.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
[MENTION=7990787]patrik.esk[/MENTION] download the RUU I provided in the link (the bigger file) and flash it the way Mr Hofs said in previous post.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] patrik.esk:
My apologies I didn't make myself clear. On my "EDIT2" in the previous post the issue was resolved. Basically the 2nd option on Mr Hofs post did it for me, flashed TWRP and a custom rom. Thank you both very much for the assistance :good: :)

EDIT1: I suppose that for the learning process to be complete I just wanted to comment that the RUU.zip method didn't work, it was throwing an error code duing flash from download mode, code 19 if I recall correctly, leaving only the TWRP route.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0stalgia:
What method should I use to flash the "flash this first - PMEUHL_3.16.401.2_FullStock.zip" in the above link? I am S-ON (sorry!!!) and still on 1.96.617.2 firmware with TWRP and PureFusion Oreo. Want to upgrade to 3.16.401.2 Oreo firmware then eventually an Oreo Sense-based ROM

Many thanks,

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You quoted a post where the very first sentence tells you that this thread is solely meant for S-OFF devices. Instead of ignoring that, you might want to accept that we don't offer stock update methods and material here. This is to have those two separated for reasons of clarity. Covering both S-ON and S-OFF in one thread seemed to be a confusing thing not good to do at the time I designed these threads.

This leaves you with just two options;

1.) find the thread that covers stock/S-ON update procedures, or

2.) spend 25 USD on a sunshine license and set your device S-OFF. Of course you're free to pick alternative methods such as java card or xtc clip, both of which are much more expensive. I prefer to recommend Sunshine, since they originated here and are super helpful guys.

Should you choose to go S-OFF, you can proceed with a x.xx.617.xx file, if you have a 617 (US unlocked) right now. Converting to a x.xx.401.xx (WWE) is not required and possibly not the best of ideas, although possible when S-OFF.

You can then just pick any 617 and update straight to latest (readers beware - this does not work on every HTC!), provided you take the "FullStock" variant.

Neither of those files will work for you. Easiest way would be to flash this OREO US Unlocked RUU

Yesterday I try to flash another firmware, because I'm not getting SIM card signal.

I got error: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

HBoot updated successfully now try to flash again

After that I press power button to reboot phone, but it shutdown and never again power up, also I have plus 80% battery.

The phone won't power up in any way, neither charge.

It was possible that motherboard fails?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
The no GSM signal issue indicates that you - might have - flashed wrong firmware before ;) Don't come here asking whether the motherboard has a fault. You know exactly what you did. We call that a brick around here. Not a broken motherboard.

:D

Anyhow. Your phone has now reached its final destination: some electronics scrap yard where it gets pried open and its golden heart taken out by some innocent children.

Pity. It could have lived so much longer...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizzy:
Hi - I managed to flash the firmware just fine. Got to 100% said successful etc, press power button to complete all seemed well. However, when I reboot it just keep going in a bootloop to the silver HTC screen with a black background that has the red warning text, and it just continually bootloops to that. Did I do something wrong? I can get into download/bootloader mode etc......thanks

I tried to flash the latest leedroid rom, it booted up as far as a screen saying encryption where you need a password, so i went back into TWRP and cleared the data like it tells you too, and now its just in a boot loop. I can enter bootloader/downloader but for some reason when i try to enter recover it just hangs on the silver HTC screen with the red text.....I can eventually get into TWRP but even so i still cannot boot a ROM?I installed the latest firmware for the international that is on the download good drive.

Looks like CrDroid has worked.....we will see in 5/10 mins!

I have the UHL version, as I live in the UK so I am sure the correct version was installed.

I am on the firmware from: 28.08.2017	2.41.401.41

I have installed Viper 5.11 and everything has booted up, except still have no signal??

Is there a way to check if i have the correct firmware installed?

Download mode says:

HTC_PMEUHL PVT S-OFF

However, if i go into setting....it says IMEI - Unknown....

You have nougat firmware and Viper 10 5.11.0 is based on nougat, so that's why it worked.

I get error 33, it fails on tp_SYN3708.img. Can I just ignore that then and go with the fail? Or what you're saying in this post seems like I can remove that image from the zip and try to flash again? What should I do?

I am flashing the zip at the bottom of this picture:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You already quoted the answer to your question.

Either way is fine. Removing the image before flashing saves you looking at some error, nothing more. Cosmetics, so to speak. You can as well just ignore it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bollen55:
Yeah ok, I was thinking there was maybe some final step after all images succed that doesn't happen if they don't.

I can also say that you're probably right about it being a problem with hardware. I had my screen replaced and after that I sometimes had issues where I needed to use two fingers for touches to register, rebooting the phone fixed the problem. This might have something to do with me not being able to flash the image.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Likely so. Hard to find out. Easier to accept that those phones tend to break invisibly sometimes and that it needs modern day magic and magicians to figure out the real defect - I found it easier to not waste my time on such anymore, lately.

Good luck with your phone though.

htc_fastboot for linux?

Hello there,

Is there a htc_fastboot edition for linux aka script file? Or is the android studio sdk version 27 ok to use?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
That's correct. You can use the ADB/Fastboot package from the SDK.

However, if you run into issues with the generic fastboot (for example: cannot flash large zips on htc sometimes because HTC uses a custom packing-tech) you can go to htcdev.com, where the bootloader unlock token can be obtained, and get a HTC custom Linux version of fastboot, which should get the job done.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wandang:
Ah I see. I already used that fastboot. Good to know that this is the right one to use! :)

If I should guess, I'd say you're trying to jump a version. What you see there is the HOSD telling you it doesn't know the key to decrypt the RUU.

That sometimes happens when you say, flash some high version over a lower version. HTC changes keys occasionally and when an old HOSD doesn't have the new key, you might need to flash some other RUU in between.

Either the next higher, and then repeat, until your 3.16 RUU works, or try to flash the 3.16.401.2 firmware I have in my thread. That works. Or should work. You'll need to be S-OFF for that second method though.

Links to my firmware packs are in the second post of this thread. When jumping several versions this way, make sure to use the FullStock variant, to make sure everything is properly updated. When doing that, your current ROM probably won't boot anymore and your data will be wiped. Back up first and have a ROM ready to flash on your sdcard.
