[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lxiong1:
Okay, it seems that the reason why I get the "42 custom id check fail" error is because my CID is at BS_US002

The firmware.zip file that I have is for CID's that are on CWS__001 (yes, two underscores)

So a tip for those wanting to convert to (Android 6.0) Dev Edition: Flash firmware.zip first before changing your CID.

I will test this out and see if my conversion is successful. If I fail, then I'd assume it's because I need a firmware.zip... specifically for BS_US002
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lxiong1:
Hell... Flashing the firmware was a success now; but running the RUU (Dev Edition)... was not successful.

On the other hand, running the RUU (AT&T) will successfully update you to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

So in conclusion, someone should show us where we can get a firmware.zip file that is for the Developer Edition. Because the firmware.zip from this link: http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=23

... is only an update for specifically the AT&T firmware, not for Developer Edition.

Right now, I am reading: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792

And it says: take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly. That is helpful information and important for those who need it.

But for now, personally... the task of altering/modifying a file within a zip file and then redoing this whole process for developer edition doesn't seem worth it to me. And the reason why I say this is because AT&T's skin is not so bad on Marshmallow... Whereas on KitKat and Lollipop, it was intrusive. This is something I can live with. AT&T's skin is actually nearly non-existent if I root and remove bloatware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
My apologies, you are right I linked the wrong firmware.zip (502 for AT&T, not 1540 for Dev Ed). You can find the 6.12.1540 firmware here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792

In short, the requirement to run the firmware.zip is the same as an RUU, that it needs to match your CID and MID.

Anyone know where i can download some? Just want to take a screen shot of my Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xeno1:
Google for GetPDAScreen. It's software that you run from your pc while connected over activesync. I prefer it over most of them that you install on your phone and then have to tranfer the files back over to you pc when you want to upload them or something, but there are quite a few of them if you want to install it to your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kms108:
getpdascreen is probably is the best one, it doesn't need to be installed on the phone or your PC.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
I use Ilium Software Screen Capture. Its free (well i guess it is since I've never paid for it). It does get installed on your phone. So, the disadvantage there is I can't take a screenshot of it when the key's are locked, i.e. my screen saver...

Update: Actually, I just noticed it has a "Timer" function, so it lets me take a snapshot on a delay, so I could just get a pic of my screensaver...haha

You can also take a look at My Mobiler. It does a LOT more than just screen captures. You can navigate your phone from your desktop PC.

Hello,

long story short,

I woke up, my phone was turned off and wouldn't turn on anymore.

I send it to LG and they said it had water damage, I had to pay over $350 to repair.

I refused and now I have a dead phone.

Yesterday I bought the V10, a beast!

So... anybody some ideas what I can do with my dead G4?

Did you ever get your data working? I have the same problem.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunterhee:
Hi, can you please explain the process your phone went through when booted back up with new SIM the first time? I have a Sprint HTC 10 trying to activate on ATT. I got an unlock code and it still said SIMlock Enabled. So I was instructed to go get a new SIM card and had it activated while in the device powered off. Problem is the same when powered back on. Also, if I select GSM mode, it says GSM mode not supported in US, only foreign SIM. Does this mean I was given an unlock code that wasn't a US unlock code? I'd really appreciate any help, this is going on two weeks now trying to get this to work.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsemoney:
Yes, resolved!

I flashed custom ROM Viper 10_3.5.0 and 2G/3G data is working right now , but you should filled a wrong APN string (any words at all )
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] kjack3410:
I finally got it working but thanks for the reply. Do you get LTE data speeds with the ROM you're using or just 3G/4G ?
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsemoney:
as yet NO 4G LTE in our country (I'm from Ukraine )

I use only 2G/3G data
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunterhee:
I can confirm this does work to unlock sprint HTC 10. First few runs failed, then I purchased Sunshine and ran it. But I think what really did the trick was going into the file you save and changing first two numbers from 01 to 00, save, then write to device with NV. Worked like a charm! And that's with LTE on ATT.

I am on a Sprint HTC 10 here in the states. Any chance I can use this method to get service/data when I travel to Qatar/India? Thanks all, this is new to me.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] duck95:
You can request an international sim unlock from Sprint, they will do it for free. When you are in Qatar, purchase a sim card from a local company and pop it in your phone. You'll have a local phone number and data plan. I just did this for a trip to Italy, no issues at all.

what is the best rom ? i unlocked bootloader, twrp and flash viper so far so good

do you guys recomend other rom?

do you guys can pick 4g in europe? because here in Portugal 4g have 3 bands and i think htc 10 sprint just have 1 band compatible and i still didnt get 4g signal

3g and H works normally right?

I just purchased a phone on ebay, and only after purchasing did I notice a message that says: This device is LOCKED to the Sprint network and cannot be unlocked to any other network.

I find that strange, as I'm pretty sure even Sprint variants can be unlocked, but the fact they made a point of saying that worries me. Anyone have any experience with an un-unlockable Sprint HTC10? Am I screwed?
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stifilz:
Screenshot please. I unlock these for breakfast :)
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
Well I haven't received it yet, but the seller mentions it on the page. My question is, is there really such a thing as a un-unlockable Sprint version HTC10? Can they have really locked it to the point where there is no way to actually carrier unlock it? Would love to know, even before i get it, so i can at least prep my research so i waste no time once i receive it.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stifilz:
Nah, they are easy peasy to unlock. You can do it by simple NV items unlock. Its here on XDA somewhere :D

That's what I was hoping to hear from you guys. Thanks. Now, it's just a matter of a bit of research and get my hands dirty. While I got you hear, off-topic but I'll be travelling for a couple years with the phone so I'm curious which ROM you'd recommend. Haven't looked through the different threads here yet to see if there's an official HTC international rom that I can install and which can be updated even on a rooted device, but I do like sense, even a bit more than vanilla android, so i'd love to keep it and also get the updates when they come through. Any recommendations? Thanks again for your replies.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
My answer would be obvious ? I prefer to use a rom based on Sprint
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
Alright. Phone in hand, everything seems legit. I'm trying the NV method to unlock but I can't get teh Basic Flasher to read the SPC. I get string errors, failed to read MDN, error write, tx errors, Command interupted. And when I do Scan, all i get is HTC Sync Manager (COM6) and no other options. Something aint right. Anyone have this issue before. I'll keep looking through the thread but haven't come across this yet.

The phone is not rooted and obviously is locked to sprint. I'd love to root it and will do that. But I'd rather sim unlock first if that's possible so that I can be sure that it'll serve my purposes before i go for the root option, cause once I root, returning the phone will be more problematic.

Hey Stifilz. Seems I could use your help with this phone after all. Received it today. Tried htcdev.com but i don't have a flashboot option when i boot to download mode. Tried sunshine but temproot failed and I could go no further. Tried the basic flasher for the NV method and I got errors. Not really sure what my options are. Any ideas? Would love some advice on this one.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stifilz:
From download, reboot to bootloader will get you to where you need. To unlock bootloader :)
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
I had already tried that. I don't have fastboot as an option. I only have reboot to bootloader again, reboot to download mode, reboot to recovery, reboot and power down. Reboot to download has essentially the same options, reboot to recovery doesn't work cause there's no recovery on this phone. So, not really sure how to proceed. At this point my goals are to sim unlock this phone, and then root and install an official international ROM that can be OTA'd from anywhere in the world as I'll be travelling for a few years.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stifilz:
Reboot to BOOTLOADER == FASTBOOT, DOWNLOAD == DOWNLOAD. :)
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
I didn't know that. Been a couple years since I've messed around with modding my phone. Anyway, I'm not having much success. I'm trying to get the identifier token but get an error: C:\Users\Intervij'n\Downloads\fastboot-win>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.039s

This process is clearly going to be challenging. Seems my phone isn't connecting. I tried to reboot using fastboot and I get the error: device '(null)' not found. I just reinstalled ADB and Fastboot to make sure i had the most recent version. So I should have all the drivers and required files. Not sure what the deal is and why adb can't find my phone.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
OK. bootloader unlocked. So some progress. I can't install twrp or any recovery it seems because i'm s-on. I've tried sunshine and no go. NV doesn't work either. All the guides i've come across to s-off require twrp and root, so I'm in a catch22 situation here. I can't root cause I'm s-on and I can't s-off cause I'm not rooted. Anyone have any suggestions? Would appreciate it.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
Sorry for the updates. I've managed to root, s-off, and using sunshine I believe I'm now also SIM unlocked. Haven't had a chance to check that yet. All that's left now is getting a clean, non-bloated stock rom that will allow me to get OTAs while I'm travelling over the next couple years. If anyone's got any recommendations on which to go for, I'm all ears. I'm CID: spsc_001 MID: 2ps640000. Thinking of going with this option: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/ but I'd prefer to get someone's input on this before pulling the trigger. Would I have to relock the bootloader to install this?
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidzorch:
Hi Vijn. I am thinking of buying the same phone from the same seller. Were you able to Sim Unlock the phone? That message saying it cannot be unlocked frightens me. I would like to do it without s-off if possible.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
So far no. I managed to flash a couple stock roms, and a custom rom. All had the same issue and it has to do with the cell radio. I used sunshine to unlock the sim but I suspect it didn't work, because the phone just wouldn't recognize the GSM sim i tried in it. But when I went back to the stock sprint ROM it worked fine. So, I was afraid for a while that it was a hardware issue but it seems it's software, which is encouraging but I still don't have a solution. I'm hoping to hear back from someone on XDA in another thread to see if they have any recommendations. Otherwise, I think I'll go through the process again and double check that the SIM unlock worked before proceeding. I still don't believe that the phone's hardware isn't compatible with GSM or that it can't be unlocked. It's just making me work harder than I expected to. I'll keep trying and will update you if you want.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to do it with s-on, from what i've seen so far. But you can s-on again after s-offing, if I'm not mistaken.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
Hey, just an update. So far still have not managed to get this work, so do hold off before buying this. I can't believe it's so problematic. Doesn't help that the community here hasn't been helping out much (which leads me to believe this is pretty rare issue and maybe the seller was being accurate and that somehow there's some hardware issue with the actual radio chips used, i don't know), but even then, I've done tons of research and can't figure it out. I'll update you again if I find a way through this. I'm not giving up cause I'm pretty sure it's possible.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] liquidzorch:
Thanks I will hold off on buying from them. Can anyone say if thier unlock sprint version works on GSM? I see it has LTE frequencies for at&t, but will it work on 2g and 3g gsm frequencies? I plan on paying for a remote unlock, if I end up buying the Sprint HTC 10.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
From what I can see, it doesn't: https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/A343K/sprint-htc-10-td-lte-htc-perfume But i don't know if it's ALL Sprint HTC10s that are like that or just some or what? I'm trying to find that out myself. At this point though, it looks like I have to return this one. Sad cause it's in great shape and I really do love this phone. ANyway, gonna hold onto it a couple more days to see if i find some eureka fix. If so, i'll let you know.
[Sprint HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijn:
Ya, so I'm officially returning it. I've done enough research, asked enough people and the conclusion is, the Sprint version is just not the right one to buy if you want to have GSM unlocked phone. You can try for the Verizon one tho. You won't get ALL the bands as the official HTC unlocked version but you'll get 80% of them, and you should be able to use it on any carrier in the states and most internationally. So, that's the result of a week of tampering, scouring the net, asking tons of questions on forums and a number of headaches.

How much are you selling it? Do you know which bands are unlocked?

On a side note I decided to return my Sprint variant. So i needed to s-on and lock the bootloader. Problem is, now I have a 1 sec bootloop. Here's what I did. No idea how to fix the problem now.

Here's what I did in order to get the phone back to 100% stock to return it.

Managed to get s-on but couldn’t get bootloader locked again.

reinstalled twrp and SU

booted up

installed sunshine and successfully s-off'd & locked

rebooted to download mode

Did a s-on using fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

rebooted and got a 1 sec bootloop

booted back into download mode and tried to factory reset via fastboot but can’t write the partition

tried to flash twrp, but got a security warning BL-unlocked

Now I'm stuck in a super short .5 second bootloop and can’t access stock recovery

Any advice? Just trying to get the phone back to stock.
