Yes, you have to be S-OFF, to flash those unsigned firmware packages.

Wrong, see above... with s-on only signed firmware could be flashed.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
Whoopsie daisy...I must have gotten mixed up from the HTC 10 days while I was S-OFF. I forgot about those being signed. Sorry for the incorrect info!
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ziand:
Anybody with S-ON and unlocked bootloader can flash NoWipe signed firmware from the OTA.

P.5. There is another signed firmware that can be flashed with S-ON... It is full firmware but with full wipe. It is available on easy-firmware web.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] blueberry60:
Signed firmwares can be created from official RUU without any modification in full wipe features, no need to have access to easy-firmware web.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ziand:
Do you mean they can be extracted from RUU with RUU Decryption and Extraction Tool ?

If so, unfortunately can not. Those extracted firmwares are not signed and can be flashed with S-OFF only.

Compare these two firmwares, first one is extracted from the tool and second one is downloaded from easy-firmware:

Full_Stock_Firmware_1.03.401.6_OCEAN_DUGL_(with_wipe).zip

Full_Stock_Firmware_1.03.401.6_OCEAN_DUGL_(with_wipe)_signed.zip

Last one is signed and zip-archiver can not open it.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Yes, it's possible to flash ota firmware with s-on.

But everyone who use those ota firmware, must be aware, that those are just incremental updates and that it's mandatory, to be on the correct firmware, before the update.

As you can't skip any version in between. (Well, you shouldn't skip versions, while using incremental files, as it could lead to a brick)

Other disadvantage of the ota firmware is, that the boot.img and recovery.img will be replaced against the stock files and you then can't boot your device, if you are running a custom ROM....

You then first have to reflash twrp and then the ROM.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ziand:
Every user has to know what he is going to flash and in which case to use incremental firmware as like and another not full firmware. Also everyone who uses a custom ROM has to be informed in that thread what to do correctly. It isn't it ?

The possibilities to flash of signed firmware helps to restore many user's phones too.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
Why should this info be written in a ROM thread?

No need there, as users have to update their firmware on their own and it's not part of the ROM.

And the info, how to handle incremental firmware and full firmware should be in a firmware thread, not in the ROM threads...

But I won't bother to argue with you as it's useless.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ziand:
To update stock ROM and custom ROM only firmware are different things... I think.. care about it who offers the ROM.

I know how it works, trust me. And I do not have any wish to argue with you too.

Did you try using Network Signal Guru? You can enable bands 2 & 4 with it, maybe it might work some magic but I doubt it. I tried everything as well, rolling back to 1.16 and all and nothing worked. Supposed to get my U11 back any day now but I think they are feeding me sh%t as well.

The main issue with the phone is that it just straight-up doesn't recognize the SIM. It shows unknown operator and the phone is unable to read the SIM number and display it in the settings. Again, I've S-Offed and rolled back numerous times to no avail. So, unless the latest update somehow broke something in hardware or permanently borked something in the system (which makes no sense with RUUs resetting everything and writing over) it has to be Verizon

The issue I was having is a software issue that gets triggered from flashing stuff or for others just a reboot. Something gets triggered that screws up the radio partition or something. Cause if it was a Verizon issue on my account, my mommas SIM should have worked when I popped it in from her M9. But it's a combo of both. I know my issues were software related cause ruu's always fixed it until I flashed an incompatible ROM.

Well I'm not trying to ride in on a white horse or anything and tell you what business I retired from, and please nobody say anything if you speak to either Verizon or HTC about what I'm going to say here.

I don't want that.

But my cousin still works at the firm I started.

So we've got an issue. I've got a 4 month? old phone here in going to be afraid to update for the however long I keep it.

That can't happen. TBH,im not really sure how much these security updates are useful but they're out there for a reason so I want them.

So I'll be shooting off an email here momentarily directing my cousin on how to proceed and put one of the guys or girls on it for a while.

I'm currently fighting a benign brain tumor so Im on chemo and have MRI tomorrow and doctors appointments both tomorrow and Wednesday but I promise you this will at least be addressed.

I can't guarantee anything but this he said,she said crap is not going to cut it.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

OK I was given info on contacting a higher up and cutting through this levels of nonsense.

Basically my email.

Bought HTC u 11 3 months ago. Now numerous people are stating that service is lost after latest update but yet works on other carriers.

Common denominator,Verizon's issue.

Not interested in back and forth finger pointing between Verizon and HTC, I want a working phone if I take these updates.

It's unreasonable to expect consumers with a 4 month old phone afraid to update it for their ownership length.

I've had all HTC since M8 and been on Verizon for nearly 15 years. If it isn't resolved you will both be minus a customer.

I will be sending a copy of this same correspondence to HTC also.

Please advise how to proceed moving forward (and saying take the update and if it doesn't work get HTC to replace the phone. Unacceptable response.)

Sincerely

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

And just like that I get this lol

Tom, I would be just as concerned with an experience like this as well. Let's do all we can from our end to help get your U11 working properly. What version of the U11 do you own, and what update did your U11 recently receive? Keep in mind that there are two versions of the U11, and that the U11 itself isn't directly tested by our engineers to ensure the update works through our network.

When you have a moment, let's take a look at the account settings to ensure the account provisioning looks good on our end. Please use this link to verify the account. Thank you, Tom.

Yes. But like I said,this issue being reported is Verizon specific. Believe me,im not trying to bust your stones here but this needs escalated so the powers to be at both Verizon and HTC can quit having the reps get into a pis*ing match about blame and get a resolution. I can download HTC software out the whazzoo, it means nothing. We aren't being heard or understood or people are being purposely obtuse. I'm not interested in blame. I have an unlocked phone on Verizon that should work. I know Verizon has made HTC cripple CDMA on this phone (which Sprint hasn't btw) and limited it to only LTE channel 13 and won't add 2 and 4. It's like Verizon didn't want to sell this phone,lets do all we can to assure a bad experience something next time they'll purchase from us.

That is honestly how it looks to this customer.

No unlocks, anything.

I received an email this am from my Verizon contact asking me to go ahead and attempt the 1.28 update and if it failed "he would take care of it".

So I went ahead and took it.

It's been an hour and no issues at all. Perfect service, nothing bad at all.

So at this point my opinion is that I'm either the luckiest bastard on earth or something else that is going with these other phones,etc., is causing the issue.

I'm not pointing fingers and have no idea what everyone else has or hasn't done but my experience shows me its not a Verizon or HTC issue across the board or mine would've got screwed also.

So at this point as mine didn't get affected and I have no standing on the issue I'll be removing myself from the fray.

Good luck to the guys having the issue.

Edit used all day 10 hours and no service issues.
