I only clean install on new bases, only when it's a major upgrade ie marshmallow to nougat, etc, otherwise I know you're right, and I understand why you do it, I also know for the common user, sometimes it's easier to ruu or clean install. If they are asking here, they didn't read up on it. If they didn't read up on it, no matter how much you explain, they will mess up their phone and blame you. But you're right.

Ofc, it should be already included in the rom. Didn't test myself though if it works. probably messed up.

It also enables Wi-Fi on nougat firmware, like [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] method.

Flashed it on my single SIM WWE device. Working fine here.

Although I used dual SIM radio.img, just to test if it can be used for both single and dual SIM phones. DSP.img is same for both.

Waiting for dual SIM tester(s) to try... ;)

Lol I coach kids in mountain biking. At each camp I have a rule. Every time you ask if we can do something, I delay that activity by 1 hour. It soon stops the nagging.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
It's not the same method, [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] chose to flash the partitions themselves, where as I did not, and still refuse to.

As per my first post regarding this subject: "

without having to flash anything

" <- referring to partition flashing. And as per that same post, it should be *stashed* more properly, in a more proper place.

It is a personal choice, I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with any method. I believe I've already agreed that any of the methods would achieve what you want/need, it does not however achieve what I want.

There is always more than one way to achieve a certain result, you can even make a few Frankenstein builds (btw, i'm a fan and enjoy all the [vivid] interpretations and representations of that story).

My goal may have been misunderstood, I neither said radio (nor dsp nor any other partition) cannot be flashed independently, nor did I say the contrary.

I wanted to have a differently working radio file without changing anything in my firmware.

I'm sure you remember the M8 days, they used to have "Harman Kardon" edition which required a different adsp, so back then everyone decided the installer would have to flash said partition, I'm just saying *possibly no*.

However, I cannot be taken as a reference! I use a Frankenstein firmware on my M9, combining different partitions as I see fit to suit my needs :eek: (yeah you dont want one of those)

If someone decides to go Oreo, then by all means, I agree having the firmware properly updated is the best way to go, if that *cannot* be done :rolleyes: then the few partitions that seem to matter have already been identified and are flashable.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] RandomPooka:
So, am I to understand that this is a possible workaround for all of us red headed step children on Sprint to flash the Oreo beta and have working voice/data/wifi? I've only skimmed the procedure so far, because I thought it still depended on an official Oreo build being available for my variant of the U11.

Still a bit concerned that there will be S-Off/On issues with Oreo incompatibility if I start trying to flash individual partitions or muck about with anything that might throw off the actual Oreo RUU file when it finally appears in the wild.

Less concerned about having to format internal SD and such to revert. But, can y'all give me a heads up on whether it's possible to revert from amm the modifications used to get wifi and everything working on Nougat f/w? Or, am I completely misunderstanding, and I just have to wait for Sprint to get off their sorry behinds and update the device?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] kadunk:
Thank you so much for taking the time and providing step by step with options!

Tried option 2

Now I was able to download the OTA but it keeps failing to install, when it reboots im still at 1.16.617.6.

So I thought I might actually need to restore the system.img (dont know if my system is modified). Do I download "Nandroid_1.28.617.6_OCNWHL.zip" from the post you linked? How would I flash this on TWRP? Using restore under TWRP? Are zips recognized as restore options in TWRP?

After doing step 4 does TWRP uninstall? Therefore have to reinstall it?

For Step 5 I can just install and flash Viper Magisks 1.8 right? Or do I also need to flash Magisks v14.5?

Again thanks for your help.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] qriozum:
Does the radio flash in this way cause you problems with NFC operation?

AndroidPay (Magisk) works with this radio and ViperU?

Download "Nandroid_1.28.617.6_OCNWHL.zip" and unzip. Then put the folder in the TWRP/Backups/your device S/N number/.

Then boot into TWRP and restore all boot/system/recovery.

Boot into system and take OTA.

After OTA installed successfully, reboot into download mode, flash TWRP.

Reboot into TWRP (backup your system.img at this point, if you want) then flash magisk v14.5.

Boot into system, and flash ViperU 1.8.0 module in either magisk manager or TWRP.

I'm on leedroid oreo. Can I flash this?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:
sure
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] donmarkoni:
Possible. ;)

I was concerned too, cause we have only temporary S-OFF, that if I start flashing individual partitions, I might end up with a brick. That's why I proceeded very cautious, consulted team members, before I did anything.

You might have seen my post from couple of days ago, about trying and failing. I got myself into the position that only RUU from external SD could restore device into working order. I had no in call audio on Oreo, where Sunshine doesn't yet work. Restored to Nougat, but didn't have any signal, although Sunshine works, so I can S-OFF and flash proper FW, but it won't work cause of no internet. It was a RUU time. :D

So, I said possible and you expect procedure, right?

First prepare FW.zip of your current FW. Have RUU.zip of same version at hand.

Now use that Lee's zip (US unlocked, should be closer to Sprint then any of European or Asian radios) to flash in TWRP, boot to Nougat, notice non-working radio (Wi-Fi and mobile data), reboot to TWRP, flash Oreo, enjoy. Hopefully. :D

If that fails replace radio.img and dsp.img in Lee's zip with ones from your FW.zip. Flash in TWRP to recover.

RUU.zip is just in case, hope you won't need it. ;)

Cheers!

Oh... and BTW, you asked for opinion and I gave it, so I can't be held responsible if you brick your phone, fall of the roof, or lightning strikes you. :D

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] RandomPooka:
Thank you much, and I love the disclaimer at the end. I'll be sure not to attempt this procedure from my roof!

I've got the RUU and firmware zip that you flash in rebootRUU mode like so.

-- fastboot oem rebootRUU

-- fastboot flash zip firmware_name.zip (TWICE)

Sounds like I'm at least able to revert to Nougat if I b0rk the Oreo install. If nothing else, with the RUU. So, I'm thinking I'll do a nandroid backup and copy the contents of my internal storage over to my PC and maybe play around with this today.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] kadunk:
Appreciate taking your time in providing exact step by steps

I applied the 1.28.617.6 OTA successfully. But when it downloads the 1.28.617.30 OTA and restarts to try to install, it freezes at 25% and instead of the phone with gear splashscreen a red symbol in the middle of the phone comes up.

I read a prior post within this thread, 5m4r7ph0n36uru had suggested to apply the above Nandriod again from TWRP (without flashing TWRP) which I tired but same result.

I also tried flashing 1.28.617.30 recovery only - from the PDF list but same result.

I confirmed that I have stock recovery. But noticed that when I try to boot up to stock recover (from bootloader) the same phone with red symbol splashscreen comes up, if I press power button and volume up key, it then boots into stock recovery.

Do you think the OTA in freezing at 25% as it tried to update recovery from the patch but since prior to booting to recovery, due to that error splashscreen OTA stops the installation?

I look forward to your advise.

I'm using a European (Dutch) DualSim, Tried editting Leerdoids zip to add the DualSim Radio, bust still can't seem to get anything sim related working.

During the Viper flashing I chose dualsim, and as for the radio I sued the image from 2.31.400.6

Now when I open the settings app it force closes, and I do not get any PIN question (for the sim cards) on boot.

Anything I've missed? You could potentially share your zip with me to check if it's my.. well.. lack of skills ;)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] j to the 4n:

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:

Did you replace dsp.img too, or just radio.img?

Here are 617 and 709 packages. 617 is made by Lee, 709 is just my modification of it. You can use 709, it's same as 400, compared it binary. I'm also using it, although I have single SIM European model.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:
I did copy both DSP and Radio>

Are the dual and single sim radio files the same?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] donmarkoni:
I don't know, don't have any other to compare with. 400 and 709 are same, but 617 is different. I can tell you when I get my hands on 401, but until then I use 709/400 on my single SIM European (401) model and don't have any problems.

Have you done anything after took the first OTA? If not, flash the OTA from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048/post74385713

If you did, restore the nandbackup like you've done before and take the OTA(1.28.617.7-1.28.617.30)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] kadunk:
I don't think I actually applied an official OTA yet

It kept freezing at 24-25%

When you told me to restore "nandriod 1.28.617.6 ocnwhl" boot/system/recovery it actually updated my software version to 1.28.617.6 and OTA for 1.28.617.30 came up. When I downloaded the OTA (1.28.617.30) and system rebooted to apply update same thing, red triangle at 24%.

So what I actually did was restore the 1.28.617.30 nandriod which then updated me to 1.28.617.30 automatically.

I did the same thing 2.31.617.2 (restored the nandriod)

After restoring nandriod update, I booted in to Oreo but Wi-Fi didn't work, so I flashed twrp, magisks 14.5 and viper magisk 1.8.0 but my phone wouldn't start up (grey screen)

So I resorted 1.28.617.30 nandriod.

So never actually applied offical OTA yet. Just updated software versions by nandriods.

Don't think it's the correct way is it?

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

Forgot to mention I tried flashing ota from stock recovery but it fails
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] frankcck:
I made some mistakes if I told you to restore 1.28.617.6 nandbackup, instead you should actually restore the nandbackup for 1.16.617.6 which should match your firmware version. Then you will be able to take OTAs.

Are you s-off or s-on?

S-Off, you can flash the combined no wipe firmware for 1.28.617.30 and restore nandbackup for same version in TWRP.

S-ON, take OTAs is safer. But you can flash stock signed firmware incrementally. First, 1.16.617.6-1.28.617.6, then 1.28.617.6-1.28.617.30. And restore nandbackup of 1.28.617.30.

Oreo ROM(2.31.617.2) needs new firmware to get Wi-Fi worked.(Or at least flash the radio and DSP). Besides, ViperU 1.8.0 is for Nougat, if you wanna use magisk ViperU 1.8.0, stay with nougat until ViperU 2.0.x Magisk comes out.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] kadunk:
I am S-ON

I tired restoring 1.16.617.6 nandriod, got OTA, but same thing., get the red triangle at 24%.

With respects to signed firmware are you referring to the OTA section on the spreadsheet? if so I tried doing that but it fails.

and aborts the installation.

Any ideas?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] frankcck:
I apologize for the mistake, at least it won't cause you any real trouble...

Those firmwares on the spreadsheet are likely modified. You need stock signed firmware from HTC.

Grab the firmware_1.28.617.6.zip from here and flash it in download mode.

Afterward, download firmware_1.28.617.30.zip from here and flash it in download mode too.

Then restore NAND for 1.28.617.30 in TWRP.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] speeddemon1891:
For what it's worth I couldn't get the Oreo ota to complete using a nandroid at all I kept getting a red triangle as well. I just backed up my stuff to my PC and then flashed the ruu and it worked fine.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:
So I think I found a working combination of DSP + Radio

I took the 709 DSP and got the radio from 2.31.400.6

I then installed Viper 2.0.2 using the default option.

And although I did not get the PIN entry screen, the settings screen also did not crash

And furthermore in the notification bar one signal icon was shown, which wasnt before

So after that I tried the DualSim option in Aroma and settings crashed again

I guess I'll have to wait for a fixed DualSim option :)

How to try OREO ViperU 2.0.2 B3? Ya, make a backup first, then:

A.Return to Stock, OTA upgrade to OREO, then install ViperU2.0.2

B.Upgrade TWRP to 3.2.1, Flash ViperU2.0.2 + radio.img + dsp.img

Which one is right? or both incorrect? Many Thanks
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:
Wait for the DualSim release.

The current release (2.0.2) does not support DualSim devices

After that it's up to you:

Option A: If you are sure you want to use Oreo, and do NOT want to return to Nougat

Option B: If you are not sure about Oreo yet, because ViperU 2.0.2 is still beta, with Option B you CAN go back to Nougat
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] frankcck:
Is your bootloader unlocked or locked?

In the past, while on S-ON, we needed to go to RUU mode to flash firmware, but don't think that's the case on U11...

Maybe try update your adb and fastboot from here

You can also try SDCard method if you have no luck with the fastboot method.

Can you also provide "fastboot getvar all" in download mode? without your IMEI
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:
You still cannot flash unsigned zips without being S-OFF

This means only zips made by HTC can be flashed trough fastboot

As such, updating to Oreo, completly, requires you to either S-OFF, or use an HTC RUU/OTA if it's available for your region and model

But, as S-OFF for oreo hasn't been released yet, there is no way back if you do take this route

As such, only go this route if you are VERY sure you don't want or need to go back in the near future.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] frankcck:

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Giblet-dono:
The error "9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode"

I had it yesterday whilst trying some things in fastboot mode aswell

I think it was related to flashing a non signed zip whilst begin S-ON.

I remember SneakyGhost once saying it might work trough the sdcard method, but not fastboot commands

Edit: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68543069&postcount=653

There Sneaky mentioned something about it, worth a try

Well, you are around long enough, so I guess you won't get angry if I say that you did nothing. :D 400 and 709 have absolutely same radio and DSP. As I said, compared them binary. ;)

I will never get angry with people honeslty trying to help me ;)

Also this does help me in a way..

I now know what the issue was previously.. I used an older nougat firmware

So old nougat firmware + oreo radio&dsp was my problem

Now supposedly the last problem is the dualsim rom option, for which I'm patiently waiting for an update.

As my phone went through a factory reset anyway I just went the ruu route to 1.28.167.30 and got Oreo from OTA.

I will stay full stock for the time being as I do require critical radio updates due to my carriers LTE switching issues.

Hopefully get back on viper Oreo once stable release is out

Appreciate your time and help on this I learned a lot.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] frankcck:
Possible but I'm not sure if re-locked bootloader is required on U11.

I'm on S-ON and unlocked bootloader, and I have taken OTAs as well as flash signed firmware.

If you can do factory reset (full wipe or even RUU), most of time it will give you the best scenario.

However, in your case, either restoring NANDBACKUP of 1.16.617.6(which should be the same version as your firmware, that's why I asked you for getvar all) to take OTAs or using SDcard method to update your firmware incrementally should work.
