so has anyone flashed a splash screenyet? I'm wanting to rid myself of this bright white screen on startup

anyone have an inverted stock splash screen that they have flashed :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well flashing works. Watch my video. You can see my splash in action.

Although I figured the pulling part, to secure your stock splash, doesn't properly work in Android yet.

Not a biggy since its fine in recovery mode and also there's a 100% working option to restore the stock htc splash from an image which comes with my tool. So the pull function is pretty much redundant.

How to get an inverted HTC stock splash? Actually, I still have a few minutes before work. I'll quickly boot my PC and make you one, since its an easy Photoshop task that just takes a few minutes.

[EDIT]

Here it is. See attachment.

Contents: BMP file of stock HTC splash inverted - for use with my Splash Converter batch in the tool. Furthermore, I added the Splash1.nb0 file as well so you can skip the script and directly do: "htc_fastboot flash sp1 Splash1.nb0" (please do "adb reboot bootloader" before to flash from bootloader, it won't work in Download Mode).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
Thanks I'll give a try when I get back to a PC. Just got to work myself and gathering all the necessary information so I don't mess this up.

EDIT: my screen is already like the picture you posted except HTC is in green. If all it is is inverting white screen to black and black letters to white, I can handle that by photoshoppin the splash1.bmp in the zip. will I need to do something with the nb0 file as well?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobrax2:
guys a no-red firmware is there available?

thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Why is your stock splash white? The new HTC10 splash is black with white letters. At least on the phones we dealt with in Venom beta.

You don't need to manipulate the splash1.nb0 -that's the file that gets flashed eventually. My script makes it. Just create a bmp image in Photoshop, drop it in the /dump folder and run my script. That's it. Oh and absolutely mind the resolution. 1440x2560. Anything else won't work.

Nope. Not gonna happen.

And just in case anyone else is gonna ask: I'm sick and tired of it. I'll add it to the first posts why I won't do it anymore before I'm gonna explode again.

I'm explaining the reasons since 2 years straight at least once a week.

I converted my carbon grey 10 to work on verizon... flashing the verizon RUU may have done it
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yes, RUU always flashes splash
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cobrax2:
lol, sorry

so are you adding it to the first post or what?

thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
[emoji23] yeah I'm adding info to the post on why there won't be no-red edits from me and hopefully nobody else.

But as XDA goes, user safety will always come after personal fame, so if I say not a good idea, somebody else will think it's a very good idea.

So my bet is, you'll get your no red edit. Somewhere. Not here though.

Secret hint: precise info on how to edit hboot/aboot can still be found in my M7 firmware thread from 2013.

I got my 10 which is Hong Kong version, in stock my Volte work, now I flash 1.8WWE and viper 2.0,Volte not work, if I flash 1.8Dev will get it back? If no,nothing harm, isn't it? Thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
You can do that. Make sure you have everything you need to return back to your original HK version, like a RUU or at least full firmware and stock ROM...

When you use my firmware to convert, many firmware images get converted, and honestly, I'm not going to compare all the CID's and MID's and see which images actually differ. I used to do that in the past but it doesn't make much sense.

Just have the HK stuff at hand to return to your setup if things go bad.

Do not do that if you have no path back.

I am now on the viper Rom 1.6 via latest Ota. I would like to flash the new one. And before I do I want match the firmware.

Just for me to understand.

I backup my data and go s-off.

I reboot and go to download mode.

I load the wipe zip file. But which should I use? and flash it via fastboot command.

After that I have to reboot to viper rom or could I flash directly the 2.0 with full wipe from the term?

thx a lot and greetings from Berlin..

Gesendet von meinem HTC 10 mit Tapatalk
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
If you use the wipe version make sure you don't try to boot after the flash as that will trigger the Verity flag to be permanent and disable HTC OTA. You'll need a RUU to restore that then.

I suggest you run the no wipe and then just dirty flash Viper 2.0 right after, without rebooting to Android in between. Just go into TWRP right after the firmware flash and install the new Viper. You don't need to clean flash. You can dirty flash.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bocke85:
I mean the nowipe version.

Thx. I hope it is easy at it looks

Gesendet von meinem HTC 10 mit Tapatalk
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Just to throw some confusion into the mix, the above isn't actually true. You need stock, untouched system to take an OTA. That has nothing to do with whether you're rooted (as root doesn't touch /system) or whether you're running TWRP (which doesn't affect the ability to receive the OTA notification or to actually take the OTA). So again, even after running an RUU, you could still flash TWRP and SuperSU, and be able to take the OTA. The only difference when taking the OTA with TWRP is that it won't flash the firmware.zip, so you'd have to do that manually. Fortunately, there's a thread around here somewhere with firmware zips....;)

EDIT: I explain my process for taking an OTA with TWRP here.

But we already know how to determine verity state?

From adb shell:

getprop ro.boot.veritymode

"enforcing" means good for OTA

"logging" means no OTA for you

[MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] documented this in another thread.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
I didn't see those comments, or maybe just have forgotten them. The dm-verity thing never even crossed my mind. I thought that after running the older RUU (when a new one isn't available yet) that the system would be unmodified as long as SU and TWRP weren't flashed, and an OTA would be pushed to the device. There's still a lot for me to learn about Android's new security measures.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bocke85:
just one last question, could is there any difference between the 1.80.401.1 and the 1.80.617.1 ? should i take the latest?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
1.80.401.1 is for WWE/European and 1.80.617.1 is for US Unlocked.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shukyuen:
I fail, see my attached picture, that means I can't flash 1.8Dev ?if yes, OK I give up [emoji24]
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos90:
I assume you see model ID of the zip is different than your model ID, explanation is outlined in the OP why that error occurs and how to fix it.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Is there a way to flash stock recovery with locked bootloader? Currently the phone has twrp on it, but I made a mistake and relocked the bootloader before reverting back to stock recovery.

Now I can't get into recovery, the phone boots but only to a point where it asks for a decryption key. I entered it wrong hoping that it would reset and wipe itself, but it fails to do that because it can't go into recovery, just keeps looping.

Flashing unlocktoken fails because OEM unlocking is not enabled in the OS. Also, I'm not even sure USB debugging is enabled at this point. I can see the device in adb shell when it gets to fastboot and bootloader, so maybe it's enabled still.

The phone is Taiwan firmware, latest Oreo version, HTC__621.

In a nutshell, I was trying to get it on EU CID (032 I think) but I messed up in the process.

What are my options, if any? Would it work to put a full stock RUU zip on an sd card and flash it from fastboot? Does that flash the recovery as well? The issue in that is I can only find full RUU of Nougat, not Oreo, I'm guessing it won't let me downgrade anyways.

Cheers

Stupid question. My phone came with EE firmware on, I have unlocked the phone do all networks work on it. However, my internet seems to run slow, could this be due to not being an EE SIM or is it likely to be the phone? Tried Vodafone and Virgin both have the same issue. So wasn't sure if the phone or due to EE firmware .....

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Thank you for the link.

Sadly, I can't flash any of the RUUs, I get error 9_RU_SECURITY_FAIL for some reason.

I guess the issue is there is no stock recovery on the phone, twrp instead, and the bootloader is now relocked. Also OEM Unlock got disabled as well as usb debugging, so I think I'm stuck with a softbrick, unless there's a way to force stock recovery back on it while the bootloader is locked.

SD card method from the OP has worked for me every time. You don't need a stock recovery to run an RUU. It just has to match your MID & CID.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Downloading now. Thank you :good:

Yup, it's not the right version, I managed to find one that matched MID and CID, but it's Nougat and the phone is currently on Oreo.

I know, right, as soon as I realised I had twrp installed and just locked the bootloader, facepalmed hard, I knew right away it's going to be an issue. Five years ago I'd never make such a stupid mistake, but it's been a long time since I played with rooting and such, so it just didn't occur to me what I was doing until it was done :silly:

Downloading the RUU at the moment and will be trying out what you guys said.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks to all

Turn off your phone

Press power + vol down at the same time and hold them for around 4-5 sec till your phone boot to download mode and see what the number front of the "OS" is like picture below...

And then go to this thread and download your own RUU (the one which has same number as "Y" in the model like this: "x.xx.YYY.x" and flash it :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Your still on Nougat firmware that's why you have no IMEI Flash 2.41.401.41 RUU.

Once RUU has finished flashing boot the phone and take the OTA to OREO if that's what you wanted.

Your SOFF so you should be able to go back to SON locked but I won't comment on how to because I have never attempted it. Or just send it in under warranty with SOFF. Not too sure about how HTC deal with that. But to get back to stock, flash RUU, biot the phone make sure everything is working then boot to download mode and change CID to match the RUU.

First of all, this is a HTC 10 thread, not a E9 Plus thread.

Secondly, you definitely didn't get the firmware from this or any of Sneaky's firmware threads. He never supported the E9

Error 12 usually means that you are S-On and need a signed firmware that is unmodified. The firmware you are trying to flash is unsigned/modified

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
All in all, the first flash was totally ok.

I guess the Android-Info.txt had a line telling the flashing routine to erase carrier and preload, expecting those to be updated from an image, which wasn't in the package.

To reflash carrier and preload the easiest way, i suggest you find a full RUU.exe or ruu.zip which contains both preload and carrier images.

If you don't have reason to change your edition by means of SuperCID I'd suggest you stay with the original x.xx.101.x versions for your device.

If you live outside the US, the WWE version should be best suited (empty preload and carrier images, so you don't get all the bloat), yet if you live inside the US, you might rather want a US Unlocked ruu, which has all the settings you need for US GSM carriers.

There also is a way to manually reflash only those two images, but I'm unable to remember how, right now. Haven't been doing this for a few years.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Hi,

sorry for not getting back to you - i rarely ever come to XDA these days and Tapatalk is just such a pain in the backside with reliable notifications...

I am glad you fixed that, although I am really concerned that flashing a totally stock RUU did not restore the carrier partition, because according to what I think, that should have happened.

Those two warnings can be ignored because those two images are in the RUU but obviously not needed on our phones... looks to me like leftovers of the generic working base HTC used to build their own set of files. Looks like just sleazy work due to them not having any engineers left and being about to shut down business anyway. That's what I make of that. I have seen these warnings too and I can assure you they mean nothing.
