Is it safe to install the no wipe firmware from sd card in download mode?

Gesendet von meinem HTC 10 mit Tapatalk
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
I installed it by using sdcard method last night, well the WWE version, 1.80.401.1, not the US unlocked 1.80.617.1.

But I think both are fine.

Name the zip "2PS6IMG.zip" and place on root of external sdcard, then just reboot to download mode and confirm with VolUp.

Oh and never worry about sdxc anymore. Since a few months HTC has Aboot read and understand sdxc using exfat. Awesome.

[MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] I've ran the RUU to 1.30, but says my system is up to date when I search for updates... I went HTC__001 CID

Should have searched before I posted - changed CID to HTC__J15 and it found the update :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
I have a sdxc and I can't get it to read... So I just used fastboot but just curios on how u got SD card to read
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Made sure the zip name is correct and it's sitting in the root directory?

Other than that, I could imagine that the exfat drivers in Aboot are still a little wonky, as it's quite the new implementation, maybe about 8 months in the field...

You could try another sdcard and see if it works then.

[MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] finished OTA to 1.80....

Installed radio..

Installed TWRP and did full wipe and installed ROM that worked with VOLTE & didn't work.

Only VOLTE works with 1.53 firmware for Telstra

This is the firmware.zip from the 1.53 OTA if you want to check it out...

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Not helpful without a full base to work off of. I need at least one full RUU firmware on which I can build up the firmware zip's with the subsequent OTA's then.

[EDIT]

If this is anything other than 401 or 617...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbm76:
Ok - I will see if I can find one of them... I have searched for them but haven't found anything yet :(

Any ideas where I can search?

Recent additions: 1.80.617.1 US Unlocked FullStock + NoWipe

Well there's androidruu.com but that won't be having HTC10 files yet, then there is the costly ir-file.com, then there is XDA with numerous users who might or might not have a backdoor to HTC (Llabtoofer maybe??) and can get you one. Some people expect a donation then, some don't...

You could tweet HTC and kindly ask - sometimes they hand out a RUU. You could phone support and try to talk them into giving you one.

Basically its a game of chance and luck.

Only the US models have a direct public RUU download site due to HTC US having an entirely different service and legal setup.

Comments:

The NoWipe differs from the version [MENTION=4639705]ThePhoneGeek[/MENTION] made yesterday by one line in android-info.txt (erasepartition: devinfo removed), which might or might not make a difference. Please, if you find differing behavior, report! Trying to figure out the effects of wiping devinfo partition.

The Zip's are called "DevEd" out of habit - there is no developer edition anymore, just US Unlocked. Don't be confused. I like to stick to my naming conventions.

I've made and uploaded these on the Autobahn with constantly changing internet. I checked the hash sums of the online zips against the local ones - they are not broken. Amazing what can be done these days!

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Download zip again and check md5 before flashing, next time. Make sure zip isn't broken.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
I removed the link on the previous page for the one I did so there's no confusion.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Well maybe rather edit your post to say that it contains erasepartition: devinfo and that that is the only part different, so people interested in playing around can check out both?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePhoneGeek:
I certainly can but thought it would be better to just remove it so there was no issue. Between this and the Viper thread there seem to be a lot of folks that get flash happy without really understanding what they're doing or reading up on it.

I'll put it back with that note about erasepartition: devinfo.

Thanks!

I've tried everything and cant flash the new base.

I'm with 1.30.401.1 now with htc__001 cid and done all the instruction to get 1.80.401.01 and nothing :(

did anyone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong?!

I've downloaded PMEUHL_1.80.401.1_NoWipe_TWRP3024 & PMEWL_1.80.617.1_NoWipe_TWRP3024 and tried flash both of them and nothing

Hey guys, I just flashed the latest Verizon RUU from this thread with fastboot. It gave me an error 90, flushed, then rebooted, and on the second try it couldn't flash the sensor_hub.img. It would go from 0% and between 90% and 100% then try to flash sensor_hub.img again. Eventually, it killed the process and finished up, saying this:

It was stuck in bootloop, but I rebooted it into recovery mode. I'm thinking of trying to flash it again with an earlier version of the RUU, would that make sense? Thanks so much for all of your help, guys.

Earlier in this thread, someone else had the same problem. It sounded like his device booted, but the sensors didn't work. My gyroscope has been broken for months, but it hasn't caused it to bootloop before. Is this the cause of my problem?

Edit: Issue resolved, I put the RUU on a sd card and flashed it that way. Took a long time to boot, but it's all good now.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Hey,

I've written a post regarding a failing touch panel flash. I think it's essentially the same issue as yours and it seems to happen on both M9 and HTC10.

Please read here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=73181518

I don't think you can do much about it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnat:
Thanks for the info; very interesting. I don't think I'll have to do much about it since I got the RUU to work when I flashed it with a sd card.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
And it didn't fail on sensor_hub again? That's kind of cool! I've seen several broken sensor_hubs and was assuming it must be pretty much the same issue like that failing touch panel driver.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeZorTenPlotz:
want to know that, too.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Yes you can. Some partitions might not get swapped out, it not matter much or it might matter a lot. You'll never know before you try.

Not much happening mostly. It'll likely be no problem, but have a RUU at hand, just in case it doesn't work properly anymore.

Remember: no_wipe doesn't swap kernels out. So if you flash e.g. US unlocked over WWE or vice versa, it can very well happen that it won't boot...

[EDIT]

thinking about it, i realize you're probably already running some custom rom. Then the no-wipe will likely not cause a boot-loop, but cross-flashing firmware might still cause issues in the booted rom. Sometimes it's radio issues, sometimes it's other ****. Sometimes it just works. Very random in my humble opinion.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeZorTenPlotz:
I've Viper 10 with Elemental_X (S-OFF with Sunshine) running on my phone and just want to update to the newest available Firmware. Do you think it'll work?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Read the edit i made to my previous post, please.

Aside from your initial question, I'd like to point out that running the latest US unlocked firmware just for the sake of having the latest isn't going to give you any benefit. The risk of deep issues such as for example radio problems, isn't worth the regular security updates. HTC isn't really providing any real updates anymore. Neither for Android nor for their Sense UI. Just Google security updates, which are almost pointless on an S-OFF phone.

I'd rather keep a matching ROM/Firmware.

With Viper10, you could reflash the ROM after flashing the firmware, using it's us unlocked profile. That might give better results. A clean flash would probably be best.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikosssb:
I've read different opinions about this. So I have an international unlocked s-off 10. I recently moved to the US with TMobile. I have been experiencing bad signal and 4G switching to 2G, along with battery drain. Is it better to flash the TMUS firmware?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
TMoUS uses B2, B4 and B12 LTE. International HTC 10 (PERFUME#UHL) lacks all three of these. Flashing US Unlocked or TMoUS firmware won't correct that because the bands would still be disabled in the modem.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikosssb:
Cool thanks! And there's no way of enabling the bands?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
See if you can get anything useful out of this thread.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikosssb:
Unfortunately, nothing very useful. So even if I flash a US unlocked or TMoUS firmware, I won't benefit from anything? Also just a clarification, the TMoUS is for branded T-Mobile users, or users who are just on the T-Mobile network (like me)?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
You won't get anything out of flashing US Unlocked / TMoUS firmware besides more up-to-date security patch level. Branded TMoUS units are the same MID as US Unlocked, just different CID / firmware / preinstalled apps. You can run either firmware, but US Unlocked gets updated more frequently.

If you have any more questions, please start a thread in Q&A and mention me. All of this is OT in this thread.

for some reason the firmware version hasn't changed and is still showing 2.41 despite me flashing 2.51 no wipe.

Where are you checking your firmware version?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
As stated above, you're probably looking at the version in settings > about. That would be your ROM base and not your firmware version. You can check your firmware version in download mode under "OS" or with fastboot getvar version-main

Is 2.41.401.41 available with no wipe zip modified? I read on twitter that OTAis rolling out now.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
There is no new firmware in that OTA.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] guidogsbn:
Thank you, I thought firmware update is generally in OTA, stupid me!:D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Are you sure about that? I'm not saying you are wrong (maybe you have info that I'm not privy to), but that doesn't sound right to me. I haven't decrypted the OTA yet so I haven't looked into it at all.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
ОТАs always have firmware, at least new aboot, hosd, boot, and recovery partitions. LlabTooFeR just meant that the changes are not meaningful in terms of affecting the way the new base runs.

Signed OTA incremental firmware packs are posted here.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Yeah. That's what I was thinking. The new OTA can't be just stock ROM update and no firmware update. lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yldlj:
:rolleyes:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Okay.........:rolleyes:

EDIT: I have seen the post from LlabTooFeR that I think you are referring to. While there are no major updates in the new WWE firmware, there are always some updates in one.

A stock firmware.zip contains a lot of files, about 50 of them

The signed incremental firmware archive for 2.41.401.41 has 7 partition images. Nothing major, yet still different from 2.41.401.3 / 2.41.401.4.

Is there already a way to upgrade to the new firmware .41 without losing data?

What's the difference between this version and cadkeys version?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Probably none. I just added that to my collection and used the occasion to do a compare job between .4 and .41, to be able to have an opinion on the earlier statements saying there were no major difference firmware wise.

It's hard to judge but it looks indeed like it's mostly updated build-dates and trivial stuff like that. If i can see anything at all by looking at a binary view of any of those images, I'd say from experience there's nothing that justifies flashing that firmware if already on .4

I very much suspect Google's security update to only change stuff in the ROM part. Doubt firmware is involved.

/End unqualified opinion piece

:D

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] justtravistran:
So, I have a problem after flashing 2.41.401.41 from 1.30.401.1. I'm rooted and s-off. Well, while flashing the firmware via SD card, my screen went black. Now, it won't come back on no matter what I do. It doesn't charge and holding the volume down and power button does nothing. The twist to this story is, I bought the phone off e-bay from a seller who resells, what I think is the Chinese version of the phone for a much discounted price. Did i flash the wrong firmware or did I just hardbrick my phone somehow? Any advice would be much appreciated. My only option is to assume that it'll die eventually, and I can charge it to turn it back on. Thanks in advance.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
Sounds like a brick. Sorry about that.

And why would you get a 401 / WWE from China? It certainly wasn't if you ask me. Sure was some weird variant with differing partition table or something like that.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] justtravistran:
I don't actually know which version of the HTC 10 it is. I just know when I ordered it and opened it, most of the writings and setting were in, what i would assume is, Chinese. Can I take out the battery and try to reconnect it or something of that nature? I'm still confused on which firmware I was supposed to load, because I wanted to update firmware as my Venom Rom was a bit glitchy.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sneakyghost:
How do you want to remove the battery? Watch the ifixit teardown videos. Virtually impossible.

What does it say on the bottom back of the phone? 2PS62000 would be the ModelID of the WWE variant... That would be a first indicator whether or not it be a real WWE or just some China thing with the wrong software flashed...

Then you could also connect it to the PC and check in device manager if it shows up at all. If it does and it says something like "QHUSB" there, you're connected to the Qualcomm serial interface, which cannot be used with a Windows machine, and that says the bootloader of the device is dead and that is what we call a brick. We can't recover from that.

Years ago with the HTC One S, there was a way to use the Qualcomm serial interface in a Linux machine and rewrite the bootloader. That is now impossible to my knowledge. So if you see that QHUSB or something similar your phone is seriously dead, nothing you can do.

There is another tiny, tiny chance: if the battery calibration was off when you flashed, it could be the battery is just totally dead. We've had a few such cases. To verify it's not that, hook it to a charger for a day or two and see if it comes back to life. It might need a long time initially.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] justtravistran:
So, it does in fact say 2PS62000 as the ModelId of my phone. I'm guessing I did in fact flash the correct firmware version, 2.41.401.41, of my phone assuming that it was the international version instead of the Asia based on the original firmware. I just followed what it said on the side and flashed the same (international). Correct me if I'm wrong. When I connect it to the computer, nothing happens at all, and I see nothing in the device manager. I did try to let it die and when I plug it into the charge, the amber charging light flashed once or twice. That's where I'm at. Thank you for helping me this far as well, Sneakyghost. I very much appreciate it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boostjunky:
Something to consider, though I don't know how helpful it would be from a blank screen. But I've noticed on my personal HTC 10 that the usb-c connector is absolutely HORRIBLE at getting a proper connection. What I mean by that is that I can be using the original cable and 98% of the time when I plug it into my computer, the computer won't recognize anything is attached (though the phone will start charging). The same sort of thing happens with the original charger/cable combination, where I will plug it in to charge, and it will give me a message saying it's slow charging. So, I'll have to fiddle with disconnecting/reconnecting the usb-c connector at the phone until it finally makes a solid connection and starts rapidly charging (and then don't even look at it, because if you so much as breathe in its general direction, the connection becomes compromised, and it switches back to slow charging).

I had an issue at one time where I had lost data/cellular connection on my phone and needed to RUU to recover. I could not, for the life of me, get the PC to recognize the phone. I messed with it for like 30 minutes trying to get a good connection with the cable, but to no avail. I finally set it down out of frustration, had to walk away, but decided I had better put it on the charger to keep the battery up for when I decided to try again. Just as I was walking away, I noticed it was rapidly charging. So, without disturbing the cable at the phone end, I unplugged the USB cable from the charger, plugged it into the PC, and there it was. PC recognized phone, I flashed the RUU, and got back up and running.

So, to summarize, make sure you play around with the usb-c connection at the phone end long enough to rule it out as the reason why your phone isn't being recognized in device manager of your PC.
