Hm sounds good, but i wont use it until we have some more information what it actually does.

As far as i know, theres no way to just update your firmware with signed zips without partly wiping your device. I had to reflash Viper10 (or restore a nandroid backup) the last time i updated my firmware, cause boot and recovery partitions got replaced. Not completely sure if this affects stock devices, it may work there, but not for devices which are modified with a custom ROM. For this you need a NoWipe firmware from sneakyghosts thread, but these cant be flashed while s-on.

So please explain in more details what your tool does, of course when youve got your sleep :).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gamer765:
It most likely flashes firmware zips from OTA updates since those do not wipe the device. He already said it does that, he said if you're on a very old firmware it will keep updating your firmware progressively until you're on the latest version. So if you've never updated before, and there have been three updates since then, the tool will flash the firmware zip of each OTA one after the other.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
Updated the main post, hopefully everything's clear now. I need your reviews now. I'm also thinking about an automatic bootloader lock with backup solution so you don't need to lock your bootloader manually and also don't lose your data partition.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cro Cop:
Why it doesn't work with unlocked bootloader?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
I didn't try but normally your HTC 10 would block the installation if the bootloader is unlocked. Could you try it out and report. It's a bit hard to try it out by myself currently... It will most probably report that your new firmware's flashed but it actually will not be flashed after that if your bootloader's unlocked. If it's flashed anyway it'd be perfect since I'd not have to make a backup solution in that case. But I guess that the 10 isn't different to the M9 for example when it comes to firmware flashing. I read that you can have an unlocked bootloader if your device is S-Off but those are things I haven't been able to try out so far...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
Really? You don't know how to unlock your bootloader? You don't need S-Off for it.

This answers the question I had wondered about. How does this install OTAs with a custom recovery? It doesn't, correct?

You need to be stock for this. The first thing you do after unlocking the bootloader (which pretty much anyone here has done) is to flash a custom recovery.

This tool will only work for users who are still completely on stock.

IO would test myself, but I'm already S-Off/unlocked bootloader/custom recovery/modified firmware/custom ROM|, and I don't want to take the time to go back to stock and incrementally update the steps to see what won't work. I think as soon as you flash custom recovery, you can't use this method.

If you want to unlock your bootloader, HTC provides the method and instructions at htcdev.com
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
Sure I know how to unlock a boitloader. If you watch my profile you can see I'm a ROM maintainer. I have to use custom recoveries to do that. People interpret my posts wrongly sometimes. I dunno why. Anyway, I use TWRP but after flashing a recovery or any other image file I lock my bootloader again for safety reasons. You just need to have a locked bootloader to use my tool currently... And no, u don't need to be stock. This tool just requires a locked or relocked bootloader. U can use whatever ROM u like. U just need to have a locked bootloader and my tool installs the latest firmware I integrated for your HTC 10 model. I know what I do. You should just read my posts a bit more carefully to prevent yourself from contending wrong things...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xunholyx:
" I read that you can have an unlocked bootloader if your device is S-Off" quote from you

I did read it wrong. I was thinking that you meant you needed soff to unlock bootloader.\

And yes, now that I understand what you meant, with S-Off you shouldn't need to re-lock your bootloader.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
Yeah, dude, I think I wouldn't be able to write a batch tool with fastboot and adb if I didn't know the whole stuff. My broken Nexus 4 has teached me a lot over the last 3½ years :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Milamber:
Just to confirm... and thanks for the tool :)

I have a HTC 10 and nothing has been done to it since I bought it (Stock everything) will this tool keep it that way but give me the latest OTA?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] schmeggy929:
You do not need this tool if you are Stock everything, unless you unlocked your bootloader.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
No, I could write a tool for manual OTA flashing, too, but I don't want to do that since OTAs are for stock devices which are notified about OTA updates automatically. If you want to flash OTAs quicker: there's a thread here on xda where OTA zips are shared with an explaination how to flash it manually... This tool can be used by stock device's owners but it wouldn't be necessary...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Vulture-:
Thanks for your explanations, now i understand your tool a bit more. :)

But if it only works with a locked/relocked bootloader i cant use it. Really no offense and i dont want to sound rude (!), but isnt it already a design problem? You said the tool is designed for people with non-stock ROMS, but that does imply that you have an unlocked bootloader to flash and keep your ROM and recovery up to date. To use your tool you have to relock the bootloader after flashing the ROM. But to update the ROM to a newer version you have to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev (and loosing your data while doing this)? Sounds a bit weird to me...or did i miss something?:o

So which adb commands are you using? Didnt have the time to check your script yet (sorry!). Because im S-On with my bootloader unlocked an i COULD flash a signed firmware.zip i extracted from an official OTA via ADB. This wiped my boot and recovery partitions, but not data. Just had to restore the two partitions to get everything working again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] krassermensch:
So you could flash the firmware-update.zip from the OTA without relocking your bootloader?

And it was really updated after that?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Vulture-:
Thats what i did, bootloader was unlocked and flash successfully. I extracted the firmware.zip from an official OTA (TMOB-101) for my device and flashed it via ADB from my PC. Since the firmware.zip is signed, it can be flashed. Doesnt work with modified zips however, like the ones from sneakyghosts thread. He removed unnecessary stuff like the flash command for boot and recovery which my broke my phone initially. Thats why you need TWRP to restore them later.

As you already said with your tool, its also important here to get the right file to flash and not to skip a firmware update in between. You have to go from very old -> old -> current without skipping old.

I used the step-by-step instructions from here:

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crazykas:
Im on OOS and made a nandroid backup via TWRP (official)/ Backup size was 5 GB..:eek:. So i thought this is regard to OOS. Then yesterday i flashed CM ROM and made a nandroid backup.Back up size was 5 GB.. What the hell. Then i looked in to both of OOS and CM TWRP backup folders. I've notice that those commom files on both backups are massive.."system_image_emmc" is 2.4 GB :eek: and "system.ext4" is 1GB :eek:.. What is this?Why this much of capacity? Is this normal for OP3 or am i doing something wrong?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
In twrp, when in the backup section you can go to settings I believe and enable compression.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] StykerB:
untick the system image option in twrp when making a backup of anything that doesn't need OTA compatibility. A system image backup will always be the same size because it's taking a backup of the entire /system so it basically makes the empty space take up space in the backup.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Fir3blade:
Mine is 7.08GB even without system image ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] crazykas:
Should be system images of OOS vs CM be different capacities? Anyway, if i untick system image emmc, would be a problem when i restoring that backup?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] StykerB:
a system image takes a copy of the entire /system so even the empty space in /system will take up space in the image because the image needs to represent bit for bit the entire /system. A regular system backup intelligently stores the files from /system so it takes up less space but you lose compatibility with anything that requires bit for bit exact /system (basically only OTA's right now) but for any sorta custom rom use it's 100% fine.

You basically only cannot use an incremental OTA from Oneplus if you use a regular system backup.

[Xposed General] Mitch619911:
So I have been trying to install TWRP for somethings with Xposed..

I get everything setup but my phone won't boot in to recovery mode, it just boots to the Android and works or it boots to the Android guy and says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"

I can't get it to boot to recovery I tried many ways, I used an app to try tried some buttons.. it won't boot recovery.

Any ideas? ^^

Thanks!
[Xposed General] guhvanoh:
It seems you're problem is installing TWRP and not Xposed, therefore you need to search in your fone's forum for answers as to how you can install TWRP. When you succeed in doing that, come here for problems about Xposed.
[Xposed General] Mitch619911:
Yeah, but im trying to install Xposed, that needs me to go to my phones recovery but my phone will never boot to recovery, is there like any other way I can get the framework installed for Xposed without going to recovery? It keeps going in to Odin mode it looks like.
[Xposed General] guhvanoh:
That's still a recovery problem. I neither know what fone you have nor what you're running on it. You need to get your TWRP sorted it first and for that the best place your device's forum.
[Xposed General] ldeveraux:
Odin mode is download mode, you should figure out how to get your phone into recovery instead.

And in lieu of twrp, you can flash the xposed zip with flashfire from the play store.
[Xposed General] Mitch619911:
I know how to get to recovery mode, I have been there, but it seems now it will never load in to it anymore o.o
[Xposed General] Mitch619911:
Yup, after using Flashify to install TWRP, after the phone boots it goes to "Start up failed" could it be my provider does not like it? (i545)

any ideas?
[Xposed General] ldeveraux:
If you're not going to try flashfire as suggested, you're on your own. And for the record, you don't flash twrp with it, just flash the xposed zip..

Was late night typing that, but ill try flashfire.

**What is the main concept of “faces history” ?

The main concept of facebook history is assisting you to review all activites, posts, stories and pictures that you or your friends have been tagged in on facebook from the time your account was registried.

Only by choosing the date, every posts or activites taking place on this date will immediately show up.

**What is facebook history used for?

Facebook history is used for looking back the history on facebook. However, it is not just that.

-	When you happen to realize that you have just forgotten something that are very important you can use “facebook history” to get them back.

-	When you feel empty or depressed about the future you may get your strength from looking back what you achieved or did in the past

-	One day, you randomly flip through different date, you are surely filled with nostalgia for all the things that you and your friends did together on old days. Especially, if you are currently out of touch with your friends because of busy working life , this maybe a good chance for you to come together.

-	If you want to understand someone more that you especially care about, knowing what they did in the past would be a good

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=history.facebook.facebookhistory

**What are differences between facebook history and the activity log of facebook ?

-	Facebook history brings you back to the exact date that you want. It shows clearly the total number of activities or posts you have on that day and lists out all of them. You are no longer have to slide up and down to looking for the date you want on the activity log facebook.

-	You have two ways to choose the date. The first is using calendar and the second is enter the exact date.

**How to use facebook history?

It’s very simple. The only thing you have to do is choosing the date and then wait to see the results.
