Since flashing the 1.8 firmware I've been experiencing some strange issues. Phone calls and SMSs will intermittently fail to send or receive when I have 4g LTE turned on. If I turn off LTE, every thing works fine. I am baffled as to how to even start looking for a solution to this. Any ideas?

I'm using the 1.80.617 firmware, Venom ROM 2.1, T-mobile in the US. The ROM has a settings button that allows me turn LTE on and off.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Are you perhaps the same dude asking the same thing over on the Viper-Thread, answered nicely by [MENTION=4637027]Black-FR[/MENTION]?

Well I have no answer for you other than "Maybe you picked the wrong firmware for where you are" and "Maybe ask your ROM dev" which should happen over in the Viper-Thread.

Plus, there's a high chance of HTC messing things up. I have seen such problems on almost every HTC at some stage.

But, to remain fair, it could well be some ROM files/settings not properly matching the firmware or both not properly matching your providers requirements. Its hard to see through and I for sure won't be able to help you with this.

By the way, I notice considerably worse signal and a lot of dropping going on too. The dropping happens at work a lot after extended periods of the phone trying to switch between WiFi with really bad signal and Cell Data with really bad signal on all 3 versions (2,3,4G).

I have not made up my mind what that can be, but my guts tell me this is a HTC base bug. Would need to confirm with a total stock 1.80 system and firmware tho. Too little time to run an experimental stock setup for a few days.

Firmware flashing

I flashed the new firmware, but it looked like it still had the old version (see attachment). Not sure if the "build" in the screen shot is referring to the custom rom or the firmware, so forgive me for being an idiot, if that is the case. :) Can anyone answer this question? Thanks!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
It's the build that the ROM is running. Boot in to Download mode to check which firmware you're running.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Recent additions: 1.80.531.1 TMUS FullStock + NoWipe + 1.80.401.3 FullStock + NoWipe

I am just doing the zips for 1.80.401.3 (already online and in my sheet) and for TMUS 1.80.531.1

Recent Additions

NOTES:

Updated image files in the WWE pack: Aboot, Kernel, HOSD, Recovery, rcdata, Venus. - half of them get removed in the NoWipe.

[*]Differences in the updated files are so minor, they probably reflect build-date changes only! There probably is zero reason to update to this firmware. Actual changes/fixes can be expected to be in the system.img, which the ROM-Devs will shortly update to.

WARNINGS:

TMUS untested! WWE tested, working.

[*]Heed the warnings about breaking the OTA function when flashing the FullStock, outlined in Post 5!

Credits: Forgot who sent me the OTA file last night. Sorry.

[EDIT]

I was verifying my ARUWizard flash method today (the "FUU"). Stumbled across the infamous 171 Error again. Bugs me since the M9.

Got my lazy ass up and looked at the RUU logs.

ARUWizard passes argument "-d" to htc_fastboot.exe and that responds with "unknown argument" and quits the flash.

If anyone wants to dig into this I'd be grateful cuz I really can't be bothered. I'd rather discourage from using the FUU method altogether.

There were more errors, one about ARUWizard not being able to determine the image count (refers to system split images in the full rom.zip's from a RUU),

which is irrelevant i reckon, and other returns I couldn't quite make sense of.

I think the fact ARUWizard is passing on the -d argument is something that's resulting from the previous errors or non-error outputs (reading build.prop for current mainver and such is happening as well as reading android-info.txt inside the zip). On a stock untouched ROM.zip from a RUU, that does not happen afaik.

So, I checked -d argument on a manual flash and voilá! I get the same thing: fastboot says it doesn't know -d.

So, I ran the -h (help) command and there it is. With description. -d suppresses the automatic resend option for hboot pre-update (error 90).

According to Fastboot itself, there should be a -d, but then there isn't.

My conclusion would be to call the HTC Fastboot buggy. But maybe I also miss some important facts or knowledge. Anyhow. I have no clue how to fix that. No FUU. I use manual flash or sdcard method and recommend you to do the same.

However, anyone having smart ideas about this - feel free to share.

Apologies if this was addressed, but if we have the Dev/Unlocked firmware from last month (617.1), would this new version (401.3) be a downgrade?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
1.80.401.3 was basically just the Android security patch (system). I don't think flashing just the 401.3 firmware will do much at all for you if you're on 1.80.617.1.

Oh, and while 617>401, that wouldn't meant that 401 is a downgrade. The third set of numbers in HTC software version is a region code. 401=WWE (International), 617=US Unlocked, 709=Asia, etc.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] goodtimes50:
Duh, I knew that :silly:. Anyway, thanks for the explanation :good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
huh? If you knew, then why did you ask?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] goodtimes50:
I read up on it a month or so ago when I flashed it and then pretty much forgot about it. When you said that, it reminded me about the third number being a region code. The "Duh, I knew that" was directed at myself, not at you.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
xacly... smh....

Ya ya excuses, excuses :D.

You won't be wanting to flash WWE if you're currently running DevEd. Srsly. Don't mix SKU's/Region Codes or whatever these are.

This is the exact reason HTC has security set to ON by default. Cuz people would do weird things with their even weirder naming / differentiation scheme.

Since we have S-OFF here on this thread, we need to understand what we are doing, cuz zee condom is missing. Gettin my point, are ya?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] goodtimes50:
Loud and clear. The problem is that in the months between firmware updates I have to push some of that knowledge out of my head to make room for other stuff :). I always re-read the entire thread before actually making any firmware changes, just to refresh my memory, so I would have caught the region code thing at some point before screwing myself over.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yea twice a year when I'm on holidays I am actually remembering all this too. I come to my thread often to remind myself or read errors. Its a bit much to comprehend and keep. #TrueStory.

[EDIT]

Home now. Looking at it, the only difference I see is you changed the name of the zip? Is that what you wanted to show me?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
repack your zip(s) using romtool

romtool.exe -e info.txt -p blarp1.zip PMEUHL_1.80.401.3_NoWipe_TWRP3025.zip

can't remember the format of the "info.txt" (or whatever you wanna name it), but it had count, version, and crc32, iirc

something like:

1
1.80.401.3
c32c32c3

i never really bothered checking if/how that works.... i still use "normal" fastboot flash.... never got used to FUU, the name is just weird :cyclops:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Oh man... Rather not bother. People can still manually flash. Screw the FUU.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:
i told you the name just doesn't sound "right"... who's gonna run a FUU ;)

but you asked..... so i'm blaming you :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yeee..

I just can't recall a CRC line in android-info. I don't think, I've ever seen that. I'm probably already half blind or something.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Not android-info - I think he's talking about info.bin....

can someone pull the stock splash screen from one of the RUUs for the unlocked htc10? (this should be the black screen with greeen HTC lettering)

I flashed the VZW RUU and now have this stupid white splash screen and it driving me nuts. I cant get anything to work. :'(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
You can't pull it yourself by downloading the RUU, decrypting it, and flashing the splash image?

I'm pretty sure there's a tool that makes decrypting extremely easy....;)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
:laugh:

CT what's the info.bin? I haven't seen that either.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nkk71:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
I cannot. been having hella trouble with getting stuff to work consistently with win10 :(

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I can pull out the splash for you tomorrow when I wake up again, if these fine gentlemen don't have it done for you before.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] greenza:
Just wondering if this normal, I've flashed 1.80.401.3 and everything went well. Getvar all states it is on the new firmware version but when i boot the phone and check the build number it still says 1.80.401.1?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -4ndr01d-:
that would be awesome. thank you.

will it be a zip to flash after fastboot oem rebootRUU?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yea you must be new to this, or not been reading much.

In the ROM, you see what's in your build.prop, a.k.a what your ROM is based on. If that ROM is based on 1.80.401.1, you will keep seeing that.

To see your firmware you run getvar all or look at what it says in download mode.

You're all set, mate.

I just checked my thread - this one - the Unlocked version had been done by me a while ago.

The Unlocked splash screen is in the FullWipe zip.

How do you flash only the Splash? Well, two methods:

1.) Pull out the splash1.nb0 and use my Batch Tool splash screen converter to flash it (put splash1.nb0 into the /partitions folder in my batch tool setup, then run the splash converter tool from the script and pick "restore stock splash").

2.) Grab that FullWipe zip, open it with 7zip, delete all partition images inside except splash1.nb0 and the file android-info.txt. Hit save and close the zip, then flash as normal, like you would flash any firmware zip. That will flash the stock splash from the Unlocked version.

Hope that helps.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
I'm interested in this as well, but I am not finding a FullWipe.zip anywhere in the thread. I also looked through your device tree on androidfilehost as well, and didn't see any. Just the 1.xx.xxx.xNoWipe.zip packages. Maybe I'm over looking something?

The wise man [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] hinted, that there was a verizon image hiding behind your "More Info" button.

Are you perhaps an owner of a VZW device?

Because if so, you will not find what you wish, here in this thread.

You should go see what [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] has on offer.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
Yes, vzw. I got the unlocked HTC 10 and converted it. I was planning onhinking just flashing a splash image would be safe regardless the carrier?

Just the simple "fastboot flash splash splash1.img" command.

and I don't think dottat is going to be around :( he mentioned something in the ruu thread that he may be parting ways with xda...dont quote me on that though

-HTC One m8-
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Dunno haven't talked to him in a while.

Splash is located at the same address, so its really not an issue to cross flash only that one partition between any model.

However, I'd then make sure you combine the correct android-info.txt with the splash file of your choice. E.g. if you want to keep the current information in your "fastboot getvar all" output the same and only change the splash, your zip needs to have the android-info.txt of the last firmware you flashed before (because whenever you flash firmware, this info is being updated from the android-info file inside your firmware zip, so, when you flash your splash with the US Unlocked android-info.txt, fastboot getvar all will later report your device as US Unlocked...).

[EDIT]

When using my batch tool script, android-info does not matter at all. You can swap splash screens in no time with no additional work needed to be done.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWhetstone02:
Wow, using the batch file tool, that was quick and painless. Thanks! I inverted the stock Verizon splash so now I have black Splash with nice green HTC letters. Much much better! Thanks [emoji2]

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdamark:
If you are getting "Device not found", then there is a problem with your ADB, Fastboot, or possibly your drivers.

Try updating SDK tools and ADB, and try again.

I always run command "ADB Devices" and see the response, then "ADB reboot download" and run "Fastboot devices" and also see the response.

Should see your device both ways, otherwise there is a problem.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Then my English sucks.

It was supposed to say stock HTC OTA's are incremental and you shouldn't skip any of them when using those and my zip's are not incremental, they're always full updates (the no wipes having taken out the few things that would damage your current ROM but otherwise they're also full updates).

At least you did read it. That's 100 points. Bravo!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
Other than that, we are mostly stuck with RUU components, usually OTA packages. OTAÃ¢??s usually depend on a certain Firmware version to be already installed, OTAÃ¢??s only update parts - they are Ã¢??incrementalÃ¢?Â. If you happen to skip an update, you might not get all partitions updated correctly and end up with incompatible partitions, which might (worst case scenario) lead to a brick. 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.

Must be your english. Seeing that only your wipe zips are named FULL Wipe zips Maybe change the no wipe zip name to FULL NO WIPE ZIP.

Actually, the red text does show up, only if you s-off and choose a locked boatloader. Unlock the bootloader and see if that fixes it, let me know if it fixes it. I use to edit mine, but I agree with sneaky, to many variables for mistake. No more will I do that since unlock doesn't allow it to show up.
