I suppose its possible, however from the verizon end of things, where our current firmware sits at 1.85, the only us unlocked RUU i could get to flash was the 1.80 without getting an error. then there are something like 4 OTA's to take until you hit nougat. what i didnt try, was going right from 1.80 to 2.28 directly via RUU once i got US unlocked on the phone. That might even work.

However, until we get a TWRP flashable radio in a zip (im not a smart man), the radio has to be flashed via fastboot, so storing it on the externalSD doesnt do any good. With TWRP in good working order by captain and friends, that might be a more feasible possibility. :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zylent:
Ok, so I've got the latest FW working on nougat with verizon a bit simpler... Convert to us unlocked CID, Flash latest US unlocked firmware, flash the radio.img you linked, and flash whatever nougat rom you want. Manually select verizon APN under mobile settings, use *#*#4636#*#* and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM/CDMA auto and toggle radio.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Basically the same thing I just typed, I spelled everything out in an easy to comprehend fashion....
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
It may be possible to make a .zip to rename to 2PS6IMG.zip and will flash just Verizon 1.85x radio.img

Actually I went ahead and followed your guide except for flashing the Verizon radio since I'm using my phone on Metro PCS and after taking 5 OTAs I can confirm that I have WiFi calling and VOLTE located under the dialer settings. Just thought you like to know and thanks for the guide!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
That's great, if I could ever live somewhere, not in a gorge like I do now, I'd be on straight talk att. Now that your on nougat, you can just use the latest ruu's now since your there.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] asj2583:
I had a question and im sorry if this isnt the correct post to post this on but since i used sunshine to unlock my bootloader and s-off, changed cid and now running us unlocked firmware do i still have to unlock my bootloader thru the htc dev site cause im getting the htc screen with the red text when i flash twrp and then it reboots the phone and doesnt boot twrp. Already tried different images and same results....

Update: I went ahead and unlocked thru htc dev and reflashed twrp and that seemed to do the trick! Funny thing is that when i flashed the unlock token from htc dev i didnt get the normal screen asking if i want to unlock bootloader!
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Hmm, thats odd, i thought you were already bootloader unlocked and SOFF...there should have been no need to re-unlock via token. I assume you went to the TWRP thread and downloaded 3.0.3.0 TWRP unoffical from there. I have heard of MD5 not matching up and causing that issue.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaddr18:
this steps are need to use it with another carrier?

sorry for my bad english.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Correct. If you just plan on using it purely as unlocked.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaddr18:
sorry i dont understand you :(

the last step are for verizon sims only?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Correct
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaddr18:
thanks but i find out that that i have oem unlock Turn Off! and there is not oem unlock option in developer mode :(
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
I'm not following your problem?? If your already bootloader unlocked, you don't need to do it again
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaddr18:
i cant unlock bootloader i dont have oem unlock option
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Are you already SOFF?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] D4a1985:
I'm having the same problem..... so basically sunshine first then htc dev????? Without oem unlock htc dev won't let me do anything....
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
If it is a verizon phone, you will need to run sunshine first. This will give you both SOFF and your choice of bootloader locked or unlocked (Once SOFF, bootloader status does not matter, SOFF wins). Just make sure you are on or have downgraded to 1.85.605.8 software/firmware via RUU.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masttt1:
Hello , Its my first post ever on xda .Im trying to convert my VERIZON htc 10 into unlocked us version.My phone is not rooted . I tried following the directions as posted in the thread . I used sunshine app to SOFF and bootloader unlocked . Followed directions downgradng to 1.85.605.8 via RUU using sd card method . Now i have changed the cid to what you had mentioned in the directions , i m having no luck running RUU given in the directions . RUU loads , flashes and disappears that about it. I tried sd method by renaming the RUU no luck. Any help will be appreciated .

Thank you in advance
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
are you trying to permanently keep it on US Unlocked? If you just want to flash the verizon radio, but be on nougat, its not worth ATM. Verizon will have N shortly.

But, if you plan on just moving to us unlocked and staying there, the executable from HTC has dependencies. I think visual C++ ( [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] knows for sure ), Also will need the HTC drivers installed prior. This particular file you are downloading is .exe, so renaming to 2ps6img.zip wont help. Im not sure why it would flash and die though, it seems like the RUU would try to install the dependencies.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
My exe installs the program dependencies but not the drivers.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masttt1:
I m planning to permanently keep it US unlocked , i think drivers is not the issue . I have installed htc sync manager just in case i was missing any drivers but computer recognizes the phone . So heres how i do it connect the phone from usb connection on phone i tried selecting (file transfer and software installation ) and running RUU .After running RUU installshield wizard loads the bar and disappears nothing happens after that. Tonight i m going to try another computer and see if i get different results.

All the help is appreciated .
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Uninstall sync manager and keep the drivers. That's odd though, it should just work
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masttt1:
I can try the exe that installs program dependencies .

Any luck
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masttt1:
Yeap , i was able to flash it using sd card method i found the zip RUU and copied in the root of the sd card. Before that i tried uninstalling Htc sync manager , using a different computer had no luck . I will try to post the link for the RUU i used its a developer edition i think and now i m just updating it by going into software update within the phone .

Thank you all for the help.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
yea, MID for VZW and US is the same
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryknow27:
Thanks! This worked great for me converting my Verizon HTC 10 for use on T-mobile. It did work with Verizon firmware but my 4G connections were really slow. After converting, I have great 4G speeds now.:D

Of course I followed all steps except for 10-13 since I am using T-Mobile now.

Considering converting mine, how much of a pita is it and what steps are needed to get back to vzw mm with everything working?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Its easier since we have a nougat RUU. Do you really want to go back to MM?

To get back to VZW, you will need to change you CID back to VZW__001 then flash a ruu. I would suggest wiping the modem once you have ruu'd and booted once.

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

in the bootloader (white menu)

then before flashing a custom rom, just verify you have advanced calling and wifi calling working prior.

I converted my Verizon HTC10 to unlocked and currently on AT&T. I'm getting LTE but no VoLTE working. Will VoLTE work after converting? Any thoughts anyone?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Try erasing the modems, possibly ruu afterward. See if you can get it on stock
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnu4u:
So erase modems and then do RUU?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Try erasing the modems, if it doesn't wotk, ruu then

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] notjaykay:
Just wanted to say thanks and share my experiences and success(es). Using this guide I was able to convert my S-OFF'd VZW variant to the Unlocked/Developer without any issue. I did it so I could try out Mint SIM (T-Mobile MVNO) and everything worked as it should.

Now that I was ready to throw my VZW Sim back in, I simply changed the CID back to "VZW__001" and flashed the latest RUU through HTC_Fastboot. Again, painless and everything appears to be working fine.

Thanks!

(Chances are I'm going to be doing the old CID switcheroo again when we leave VZW for Mint in the coming weeks.)

I'm heading to Navy bases in Italy and Japan for work over the next month and looking for a way to buy a local SIM card to use in my VZN HTC 10

I originally bought the Unlocked version and converted to VZN and now am running Nougat/Viper 5.9. Would the easiest and simplest path be to change the CID and install the Unlocked/Developer RUU?

Then when back in the states, change the CID back and install latest VZN RUU? Or would all SIM cards work with the Unlocked/Dev RUU and I would only need to flash different radio .img files?

Thanks for any assistance.

I was just working at the Navy base in Bahrain, 130F temps are no joke, and the cell company Viva uses the same LTE band as VZN and was able to just pop a SIM card in and use it.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
aer0 will have better insight on this I believe.

I would just keep the device Super-CID, so you don't need to keep changing it. :cool:
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
sounds right, only thing is some of the dev CIDs wont take updates (fails) its just easier to switch.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] finger11:
Thanks for the replies. So am I correct in my post... that VZN won't work on Unlocked RUU with VZN radio img files?

Basically...

Outside US OR Inside US for non VZN. Flash Unlocked/Dev RUU.

Inside US for Verizon. Flash latest VZN RUU.

In short, there's no easy way to go between the two.

Would Titanium Backup Pro restore apps on both RUU's?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
im not saying it wont work, you may not get all of the bells and whistles of verizon (volte, wifi calling, etc.) if you need to make a call or get a text, it should work
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpellronHD:
Is it still possible to get the linked RUU to change a Verizon HTC10 to the Unlocked version? It seems the download link no longer works. Also, do you need an unlocked Verizon HTC 10 or can a locked model be used?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
You can get the U.S Unlocked RUU directly from HTC's website.

Regarding needing a locked/unlocked phone, the Verizon 10 is already sim-unlocked. You will however need S-off to be able to do the conversion, which will at best cost you 25$ and a quick app download, or at worst require you to mail your phone to the s-off dev on top of the 25$ fee. The former is if your software is marshmallow, the latter if you're on nougat.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattie_49:
And if I do not like the developer unlocked edition. I can simply use vzw fw that I have on SD card by means of download mode? Correct
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
Yes
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] allc0re:
My goal is to get on Lineage OS. Their guide says it must be an unlocked HTC 10 (not Verizon). If I convert, can I install Lineage? I'm currently on Verizon Nougat (Viper ROM) with S-OFF and BL unlocked.

If so, what RUU do I use to flash in steps 7 and 8? I noticed the download link in step 7 is dead. Latest on the HTC site for US unlocked is Oreo.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gorm:
Those instructions are a bit deprecated.

LOS works with VZW now. Just make sure u format data ( not wipe ) and profit.

So I just got a Verizon phone, and I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada (which uses Bell's network). I have zero need for anything Verizon-related. The phone is running Android Nougat. Once my CID is changed, do I simply run any RUU from HTC's website that is x.xx.617.x and the phone will work fine on my network (including all radios, LTE, etc)?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Is it SOFF?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nubreed000:
No but I know that I have to do that too. plus unlock the boot loader, ya?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
No, just s-off is enough.

I did the same on my Verizon 10 and am using it with Rogers with full LTE functionality.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarman36:
I almost did a no-no with this phone so be careful lol.

I got bootloader unlocked and s-off, then flashed the Unlocked-Developer RUU.

After everything was set up, I did the OTA update to Android 8.0 Oreo, then installed latest Verizon radio.

My m8 has LineageOS on it and decided to go that route. (Lineage does not have a 8.0 rom for HTC 10 yet)

Ended up losing my home button/fingerprint scanner.

After I realized what I did, I went back to the Unlocked 8.0 firmware (after some failed attempts).

Ultimately, I got it working on Verizon on the Unlocked 8.0 firmware.

Make sure you change the default network mode in build.prop for Verizon, otherwise you have to dial *#*#4636#*#* and select network mode manually.

Does the US Unlocked radio work correctly on AT&T or do I need to flash a specific radio for AT&T, if there is such a thing?

This is a Verizon part of the forums, however did a quick search and you should be just fine using us unlocked.

How far back should I RUU if using OREO VZW FW?

Or it doesn't matter??

I downloaded the U. S unlocked RUU. exe, can I just change CID then RUU then install TWRP and be good after that?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarman36:
I just downloaded the latest Unlocked RUU, changed my CID to BS_US001.

Last time I checked, the RUU.exe is still Nougat, so you'd need to do the OTA update to 8.0 after everything goes through.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1ral:
Okay cool, I RUU to the latest unlocked OREO and I just superCID 22222222 and it works getting better data connection than previous Verizon-Oreo. One thing though is battery life, my battery life sucks...
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cytherian:
I have a Verizon branded HTC 10, but I'm not using it on Verizon. I'm using it with Ting, a Sprint MVNO. Since I'm not going to use the phone on a Verizon network, is it possible to flash a non-Verizon flavored stock RUU to the phone? I'm guessing that if it's possible, it's a little more involved. My phone's CID is VZW__001. So I presume I'd need to get S-OFF in order to change the CID to SuperCID ('11111111') and then be able to run an appropriate RUU to for a non-branded stock ROM. Is that right?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
Not just cid, you'd also have to change the mid if you want to run Sprint RUU on it. I'm not even sure it would work, as far as having a working radio
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cytherian:
Well as-is, the existing Verizon firmware for GSM works on Sprint, because of GSM flexibility. So with the stock firmware working, I'd imagine I'd not have to touch the radio data. I'm wondering if I can just go with an unbranded unlocked RUU.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Once S-OFF (which is needed on a Verizon variant for S-OFF/CID/MID change) you can 100% convert to an Unlocked variant by flashing the Unlocked Developer RUU.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cytherian:
Thank you. Is there a posted process available on XDA to do this? I may just give it a try, if I can sort out the other issue I'm having.

I see you had the One M8 and are presently on the 10. I have to say, after having faced the dreaded battery problem 2nd time in a row (2 HTC 10's, both with battery problems), it's a refreshing feeling when I have my M8 in hand. While not sporting a 12mp camera and as high definition a screen, it has been one heck of a great phone. Once I get this annoying battery problem squared away and the GSM signal reception problem resolved, I'm hoping I'll feel better about the 10.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
Sorry, I had it backwards, all the threads are for the opposite, converting US Unlocked to Verizon network. Now I didn't search very hard, but I know others have this question, you should be able to find one.. let me know if you can't.

I actually stumbled upon this post yesterday and decided to give it a try. Not that I ever had terrible battery life, BUT I felt it could be better. I ran my M8 all the way to the 10 with an M9 in my closet, lol.

but I think it's safe to say that it worked. My idle time is amazing.

[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cytherian:
That is impressive idle time. I installed the GSam Battery Monitor app and I'm going to run this for a while to see what's consuming resources. But I have to say, I was shocked to see RCS Phone consuming more resources than Android System. RCS is the new Messaging communications framework. I'd put my phone in Airplane mode to keep battery drain to a minimum... so I can't see why this service would be taxing the battery at all. It seems RCS is part of Oreo... Man, at this point, I'm not feeling very keen about Oreo. Seems like they've not balanced resource usage very well, at least with the HTC flavor of it. I'm now thinking maybe it's better to go back to Nougat.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybones:
I agree. I've been an HTC and Sense lover for many many years. I ran the gpe rom on my m8 and been using a los/aosp rom for quite some time and if I do end up putting Oreo on this device I doubt it will be HTC sense. I'm thinking I'll be staying on open source. It's hard for me to be excited for Oreo. My battery life is amazing, and I hate the new white flavor, thankfully we have substratum, but it doesn't theme hTC apps, unfortunately.

Ever since accubattery said my battery is down to 82% I've stopped using a quick charger unless I have too and run my phone from 80% and try not to go below 15%.

I can't say how accurate the information is, but it's crazy to think that charging from 90-100% uses more battery than 10-89% as an example.

I do think you will be fine converting to unlocked. Best of luck my friend.
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] haljdiner:
When I converted my Verizon HTC 10 over to the unlocked version, I also wanted to use the unlocked radio. I'm on AT&T and the Verizon radio doesn't seem to work as well as I'd expect. I have another phone I've tested with and my HTC 10 with the Verizon radio rarely will be on LTE where the other phone regularly is (among other issues). I tried flashing the unlocked radio (1.0.U10141a@60527.2_51.01_F), but then I don't get any signal at all. The phone just always shows no signal and no service. I've used *#*#4636#*#* and tried various settings but still get no signal. I set my CID to SuperCID, but I haven't changed my MID. Is that necessary? What does the MID do? Am I using the right radio firmware? Am I missing some other setting or step?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
Why don't you do a full conversion to unlocked?
[Verizon HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] haljdiner:
That was a really helpful question. I'd gone straight to installing LineageOS. I didn't fully follow the directions since I didn't want to wipe the phone and start from scratch again, so I tried to just cherry pick the radio related parts. That didn't seem to work.

After thinking about your question, I realized that it was totally worth another factory reset to get things working properly. I fully followed OP's directions last night, and now everything is working great. Getting full 4G everywhere I expected to on AT&T.

Thanks for making me take a look at my flawed plan!

Sorry if this is not the exact forum, but I have a HTC unlocked, s-off, twrp, on Oreo firmware. It's not the Verizon model, but I want to go to LOS and Verizon. I've flashed both the 1.85.605.8 and 1.19.605.9 radios, and tried to set the Network to LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto, but it still won't recognize my Verizon sim.

So any help or ideas on getting Verizon running would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm getting a FAILED (remote: '35 RU_PARTITION_NOT_SUPPORT radio')

Does this mean I need to go back to Nugout ?
