Yes flash it. I dont think you will lose root but if you do its no big deal to flash again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazyboy00:
Thanks for your quick feedback.

Do I have to change CID/MID?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Nope. Not if you go from x.xx.401.x to another 401.

You might have to, if you want to change to another SKU/Region which doesn't support your current CID. In that case you'll need to either change Cid or MID or both.

In your scenario, where you just want to update within the same SKU (401), you just need S-OFF and then flash. Done.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazyboy00:
Thanks for the clarification.

I have followed the method "How to flash firmware using SDCard Method", but I am still on 2.41.401.3.

I have noticed that, during the flashing, many items in the list where showing a "0%" advancement and other a "100%".

No error message .

Any suggestions?

Also, I am not really sure about this final sentence "To turn it back on, press and briefly hold power again." seen in the guide "How to flash firmware using SDCard Method". I've just been able to turn the phone on normally.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Sometimes, turning on normally doesn't work. Sometimes, you just need to press power a little longer.

Where did you check your firmware version? Android? Settings/about/software? That's wrong. That just shows you the ROM version.

You can see your firmware version either in download mode, or by executing the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" or "fastboot getvar mainver", also run while the phone is in download mode.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazyboy00:
Yes, I had checked the version from Settings.

In download mode I read OS-2.41.401.41. All is good then! : ) Thank you!

P.S. A stupid question. Having the OS-2.41.401.41... does it mean that the security fixes coming with this new version are applied?

And is that normal that my smartphone is still trying to push the OTA update to 2.41.401.41?

Thanks!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] timbohobbs:
You have updated the firmware, not the software or ROM. Security update will be in the ota
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazyboy00:
Mmmh... I see.

And it this the most updated firmware currently available?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] timbohobbs:
Firmware is latest. For the security patches you will probably need to use a stock rooted ROM or a custom ROM such as leedroid, which has latest security updates. Otherwise, you'd probably have to return to stock again, take the OTA then re root
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazyboy00:
I've been looking for a stock rooted ROM, can't find it. Maybe it's not out yet?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Whether or not the security update is applied through firmware very much depends on the nature of the security fixes. It can be code living in the firmware, it can be code living in the ROM, or be fixes in both parts at the same time. We will only ever know if we dig through Google's changelogs and have a fair understanding of the matter. I don't. Therefore i promote the concept of "always match ROM and firmware version to make sure everything works together well and security fixes are fully applied".

So, now your firmware is up to date. Looking at my idea of how things should be handled, i suggest you go looking for a ROM based on 2.41.401.41, such as Viper :D

[EDIT]

Just to be clear about viper: it offers maximum modifications, but can very well be run in a way that it looks and acts like "Stock rooted".

With Magisk, you can even run the phone bone stock, unrooted, and just apply the Magisk version of the rom and only "pretend" to be rooted...

If you feel safer that way, grab a RUU for your 401 device, run that, then take OTA to latest, then apply Magisk.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cadkey:
if your firmware is 2.41.401.3 then yes you can update to FW 2.41.401.41

I just went from 1.80.671.1 to 2.51.671.1 and am experiencing the same issue. I'm on TmoUS as well. Will try the SIM card trick shortly. Did we ever come up with a workaround? (I'm still trawling this thread for answers)

Edit: I used the fastboot method.

I want to go back to stock, to have magisk on my phone. I have not the lastest firmware in my phone,but i want to flash the latest at ruu. Should i flash before the latest fullwipe firmware before i run ruu?Or latest ruu will flash the newest firmware too?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
Latest RUU will take care of everything, including wiping your data and internal storage.

P.S. And it'll replace TWRP with stock recovery...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krepsz:
Ok. Thank you
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadDogMaddux:
OK, so recap before I ask:

Flashed NoWipe 2.51.617.1 on my PME-WL that uses T-Mobile. Flash was successful, but as long as the TMOUS SIM card is in my phone, it gets stuck wanting to reboot because of updates.

I ran the 2.51.617.1 full RUU (twice, with two different methods) and am still having the same problem. Phone works fine, as long as there's not SIM card in it - but as soon as I put the SIM in it, it wants to reboot because of updates, constantly.

So the questions:

1) Can I flash older firmware? I am told that I can not run an older RUU, but since this happened with just Firmware, I wonder about seeing if the previous iteration thereof still does it.

2) I'm wondering about flashing the most recent TMOUS firmware instead of US Unlocked. Last time I did this, I got the "Data Encrypted" message on reboot, but at this point I already ran an RUU, so I won't be losing any data I haven't already lost. My real question here is whether or not running PME-UL firmware on a PME-WL device will cause issues, or damage to the phone.

Obviously, my ability to do #2 depends on #1, as the PMEUL version number is lower than the most recent PMEWL version number.

Thanks, MDM

Edit: Is there any chance SuperCID is part of the problem?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadDogMaddux:
Just trying to make sure to have everything in one post, so as to be a resource to people who may search the thread in the future. OP, could you maybe reference this in original post so that other US Unlocked users with T-Mobile are made aware?

Known Issue:

- NoWipe update for US Unlocked users who are on TMOUS. (Possibly FullWipe as well, but untested) The Firmware will flash properly, but as long as your SIM card is in, you will be stuck in a reboot loop once the phone is fully booted. Text will read, "Phone Recently Updated, Restart Required." The phone will actually reboot itself, and cannot be broken out of the reboot loop unless you use the power/volume keys to restart into Download mode and power off from there. Phone is operational as normal with SIM card removed.

-- Some users have had success with remediation via US Unlocked RUU, I did not.

Tested Solution:

- The problem may be resolved by flashing TMOUS Firmware (PME-UL, even though my device is listed as PME-WL) per instructions in the orignal post here. Doing so WILL re-trigger the Encrypted Data flag. To fix, boot into Recovery and in TWRP navigate to Wipe>Format Data. Before you do, however, you will need to switch to SuperCID as referenced in the original post in order for this to work.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
MID 2PS650000 covers both PERFUME#WL (US Unlocked) and PERFUME#UL (TMoUS and Latin America).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadDogMaddux:
OK, but when I flashed the firmware for PMEWL, my phone began having issues, and flashing firmware for PMEUL fixed it. So..... :confused:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Thank you for summing up your experiences. Your intentions are good.

I won't reference this in the op for a few reasons though (sorry).

1.) I never do that.

2.) Involves cross-flashing variants which is something that raises bricking risks, and is about the same as creating mixed firmwares ("frankenbuilds).

3.) Lack of precision. Your post should be using "unique" descriptors such as the region id in the firmware version (531 for TMUS and 617 for US unlocked). Those offer the needed precision when dealing with firmware. There are no two different 617 or 531.

4.) I rather tend to put things in the OP that apply to most or all scenarios. That described bug of yours is not a globally applicable thing, it's isolated to a specific scenario.

However, the post in itself is very useful and can be found via search as long as you put in relevant search terms which people would probably use when looking for a solution for this problem. Putting it in the op doesn't increase visibility on search results though. It just adds to the already confusing op texts and makes people need to filter for relevant info when reading even more.

Sorry for sounding negative on this and not giving you only positive feedback, as a polite person would do - i need to see that things are accurate when doing firmware because i don't like stuff that increases risks for users, even if it's only a hypothetical risk. I've seen too many dead phones the past 5 or 6 years. Many people play with devices they actually can't afford and definitely can't replace when broken.

hi guys.. I just repaired my htc 10 (had some issues with the power cord) and after more than a year I was thinking about getting a new rom, so I got everything ready for a firmware - recovery - rom update.

I followed your step by step guide, but flashing the firmware I got error 90, the device rebooted itself like it should, or at least it tried. Actually it turned off and that's it, no matter what I try but it's not responding anymore. I tried with all the buttons combination but got no luck, tried with adb commands but all I can get is "device not found" message. Before smashing it against a wall, I'd like to ask you for help if possible.

I've got the gsm 10, and I was trying to flash the "PMEUHL_2.41.401.41_NoWipe_TWRP_3110" firmware. Any help is appreciated!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Are you still on Wind (Freedom) Mobile? If so, unless you changed your MID and CID you probably should have flashed the US Unlocked firmware.

Still, that should have given you a different error than 90 which is just a pre-update, and your phone shouldn't be dead like that. It also shouldn't have rebooted itself.

How did you flash it? In fastboot or via extSD?

Try holding power + vol down to boot it into download mode. Your capacitive lights should blink a few times before it boots. It'll take 20 to 30 seconds.

In download mode check your MID and CID. For US Unlocked it will be CID: BS_US001 MID: 2PS650000 ~ If that is what you have, flash the 2.51.617.1 firmware. If you get error 90, reflash the firmware a second time without rebooting or disconnecting (if you are using the fastboot method)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gundamwfan:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well that was unlucky.

As you can see from [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]'s post from September 10th, 2017, the file you flashed is missing the bootloader. I wasn't quick enough to fix that, as I only have time for XDA today again, almost 2 weeks later.

What happened is a partial update, while the phone was retaining the old Aboot plus some other old partitions. So you basically now have a mixed code generation flashed. That most likely affects security. I am not sure how and in what way, but the old Aboot probably prevents boots due to some security missmatches.

The worst case is, that you are having a brick now.

I am entirely unsure how I would go about to fix this. It very much depends on what you see in Windows Device Manager when the phone is plugged in. You say, it does not boot AT ALL. If that is so, device manager should show something like "qhusb_whatever" when the phone is connected.

If that is the case, the phone is bricked and there is no software way to get it back to boot. You'll need to RMA it.

If you see anything else BUT qhusb (the Qualcomm low-level serial interface) than there might be a chance to get it back to life by running the corresponding, or just any 401 RUU.

I'm totally sorry about your situation, yet there isn't much more I know about this. Maybe [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] can help with some ideas, as he usually digs quite deep into this stuff.

No idea if it's completely bricked or not, I've cross flashed my M9 between high and low versions of a combo of different *sensitive* partitions, but always managed to get back to bootloader. Maybe not always nicely but eventually it did.

Granted the 10 is a lot more finicky, always has been, but try to get to bootloader (aboot only, not download mode, not any other mode, only aboot)

Also check Windows and Device Manager, when you plug/unplug the phone does it make the Windows sound?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mariosaraylian:
"-10 RU_MODELID_FAIL (MID in android-info.txt does not match phone’s MID)."

You picked the wrong Firmware I believe, because unless you changed your MID yourself, it should be in the android-info.txt file, if you picked the correct version.

Look for the correct Carrier Based version of Firmware or correct Unlocked Firmware version and download it.

You should be very careful what you flash without reading directions or double checking things as you can brick your phone very easily.
