You need to unlock your bootloader first..

T-Mobile HTC U11 Life

I have the same variant and no problems for me. Did u install anything else?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] iamxaq:
In case anyone has a temporary lapse of brain functioning like I did and gets confused because it seems this isn't working, it is important to remember that you'll need to install the Magisk Manager apk and Phh's Superuser (at least, those are the things I had to do after realizing I didn't pay attention to the fact that this is Magisk).
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] BookCase:
I did install Titanium Backup and removed some bloat. Maybe I removed something I shouldn't have. I wonder if a factory reset would help or make things worse.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
Factory reset and let google backup restore your apps
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] BookCase:
Okay, so I did the factory reset and now Google Services FC's and I cannot setup the phone. I get to the "Set Up Wifi" screen and cannot progress further. I'm thinking I need a factory image to restore the phone, now. I really borked this thing. :eek:
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] iamxaq:
Has anyone else had any issues with Magisk refusing to install modules after flashing this? It acts like a module is being flashed but changes nothing. I'm wondering if it has to do with not having a functional recovery at the moment. I have been able to install Xposed using the Xposed installer and Xposed is working perfectly.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
U should be able to get back to normal unless you modified the system. I have a system img. I can upload later if that's the case
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] cbrown245:
After you install recovery, and you modify the system ( ie format the system ) are we able to flash things in recovery? I haven't yet but wondering
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
U can flash things in recovery now. You just can't decrypt data yet. So only you can flash from external SD card.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] cbrown245:
Yes , but is this after you format the memory ? I can't get anything to show on the SD card or the external SD card, is it required to format ?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
Click install then select storage at bottom then external SD then u will see it.

U don't want to format system.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] cbrown245:
It shows internal and external , but nothing in either , can't even mount USB without being prompted to format .
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
That's odd did u flash the one I posted in the twrp thread. I'll upload newer test one now.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] BookCase:
I did modify the system. I tried integrating updates into the system using Titanium Backup to save space and I removed some bloat apps and apps I do not use. I don't have TWRP installed and I cannot get through the initial setup. So, at this stage I think only an original system image will fix it.

P.S. My daily driver is the Samsung Galaxy S7 so, no hurry.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] BookCase:
I installed your TWRP and it seems to be working perfectly, I'd love it if you could share that system image, please.

Thanks for this, I pushed it to the root of the internal storage with adb and flashed it with twrp. Now, when I reboot the phone it just keeps booting to twrp, the system doesn't start at all. Any ideas?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
Yes u need to go into Twrp and select img and flash it to system. Also all u have to do is mount USB storage while in recovery to copy to your sdcard from PC.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] BookCase:
Yea, that's what I did but, it's not working. Just keeps booting back to twrp.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
Well that's odd I've flashed it numerous times after screwing my phone up. Try fastboot flashing it from download and see what happens

I just tried fastboot flashing the stock EU image you posted with a locked bootloader and am getting the RU_SECURITY_FAIL error (remote: 9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL boot and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED). Does that mean the boot.img signature is incorrect?

How do you get the boot.img without root, is there a manufacturer/google link to directly download the last full OTA and extract boot.img?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
U have to unlock bootloader to flash.

Send me your exact software number I will check later.

I paid to get on a site that has the firmware and software.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] _bmn_:
I thought it's the signature check that fails + the fact that I did not unlock the bootloader (unlocking the bootloader disables the signature check). I'll take a closer look at the issue next week. OS-Version is 1.06.401.14 from Nov. 6 2017, so the boot.img you posted should be the correct one. Thanks for the Info, I think I found the site you are using.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
I can see if I can get u a signed boot img but it won't be patched with magisk if that's what your looking for
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] _bmn_:
That would be great, thanks! I want to make sure I can go back to stock in case I manage to brick it at some point. Checking if it's the right boot.img by forcing a signature check through the locked bootloader seems to be the safest way to do that.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:

There's always the option of building from source an aosp or lineage rom but there's limited development rite now on this phone. Doesn't seem that to many are interested in developing they just like the phone the way it is.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
That seems to be the case on most phones. Even the pixel 2 doesn't have that much development compared to the Nexus. My pixel 2 I completely stock, no root, no TWRP etc. I am happy because Google updates this phone monthly. The reason why the Android one is appealing is because from everything I have read Android one is essentially Google play edition and gets updated quickly

hi.

I have the htc u 11 life eu version.

In the eu version isn´t double tap to wake not included.

Is there a way to flash the htc u 11 life in the us version or uk version and then change the language to german ??

Or is this a hardware problem ??

Thank you...

So, now I have the patched_boot.img and the boot_signed.img for December security patch, build No. 1.09.401.2. They will be downloadable on Gdrive in about 20 minutes 12:10 German Time.

You have to check with "fastboot getvar all" wich partition is active so you have to boot to boot_a or boot_b. For me it was b now.

To take new update you have to flash the signed_boot first. I will check if the new frimware is always online to keep you up to date.

Can't get OTA to work

I tried to flash boot_signed from December OTA over the patched_boot, but I still cannot get the January OTA to work, is there any trick to it? Thanks
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] MC_Ohr:
At first check by using fastboot getvar all wich partition is active. There you flash the signed boot, and reboot into Rom. For me the December was on boot_b

Gesendet von meinem HTC U11 life mit Tapatalk
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilotseye:
Thanks, mine is on boot_b as well, but after flashing signed_boot only root is gone, but OTA still fails, maybe uninstalling Magisk Manager does the trickt?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] MC_Ohr:
For me it was not necessary. Did you maybe flash the patched boot also to boot_a? Flash the signed also to boot_a again.

Gesendet von meinem HTC U11 life mit Tapatalk
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilotseye:
So, I flashed the signed boot image to boot_a and boot_b, also I removed Magisk before flashing, still no success, OTA is still failing - maybe I need to make a full reset and start over again?
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] MC_Ohr:
Did you change anything in the system partition? Maybe that is the problem.

I guess, I found it: [0127/144301:ERROR:delta_performer.cc(1057)] The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.

I always downloaded the image from easy firmware. Is it possible to download the boot.img without root?

Gesendet von meinem HTC U11 life mit Tapatalk
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] saturday_night:
No thats not possible, but you can change the active partition to the one with the older system get root there and than pull the boot.img from the updated system.

You need to know the partition table of the device to know on which partition is boot_a and on which is boot_b. You can get that with adb shell and the command "ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name"

For switch between the active slots just use "fastboot set_active other". If you cant use this command you need to update your adb and fastboot installation on your pc.

But dont forget to flash stock boot.img on the old system again after you pulled the new boot.img so you wont have problems with next update.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] saturday_night:
New update is available with march security patch to version 1.10.401.18 ....But its not possible anymore to boot up the older system to grab the boot.img from updated system. I tried it 5 times and it just wasnt able to boot into the older system allways gets stuck in the bootanimation. So atm i dont see a way to get root here. On easy firmware is not yet the last update from last week available so might take a while until we can get root with march update.

I tried now to reflash the 1.10.401.7 system and its not possible to boot it anymore once you have the update to 1.10.401.18 installed.
[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] saturday_night:
I got it. Root for March security update is working now. Here is the download for patched boot.img for 1.10.401.18 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754473201

Also signed boot.img is in my main folder on AFH.

HTC changed two things with latest update, one for sure just to prevent booting into older systems which i wont tell here because maybe they will fix the way i got the boot.img of the update if i make it public here (like last time). The other change in the new system is how to access the stock recovery, now you need to boot into bootloader, choose reboot to recovery (wait till the little android is there) and press and hold power button and just a short press to vol+. So the button combination is exactly the other way around as it was before.

[HTC U11 Life Guides, News, & Discussion] saturday_night:
First of all, no the root thread isnt the right place to ask for help ;p

To be able to help you we need to know if you have the Android One Version or the Sense Version of the U11 life. Just look at the backside of the device, if there is written "Android One" its the Android One Version. Second you should test if the Bootloader is working by Press and Hold Vol+ and additional to that press and hold power button. If you have the Android One Version and the Bootloader is working fine it shouldnt be too hard to restore the system.

Hi all,

I bought My HTC in Mexico, I check a tutorial and I was able to change the CID from HTC_332 to SuperCID, I tried to flash the RUU, but my ****ty Mexican Carrier was more recent than the USA Unlocked (at least in the number of version) so I relocked the bootloader and now I'm stuck in a boot loop, saying "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" I only have access to Download Mode, Tried re unlocking bootloader but it seems that wasn't activated that option for second time... Any ideas of what can I do? I would like to try downgrading to flash the USA Unlocked RUU.

Thanks in advance!

follow this thread mate. It worked perfectly for me. Make sure your data is wiped before trying to do anything and after the third install of majisk often a reboot is required before the final install of the root. Good luck and happy new year.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 250 or Point 65:
Yes, I understand that the root method is to modify the build.prop with net.tethering.noprovisioning=true......but

Coming from the 5X, there was a sexy way to modify the boot.img in Android Image Kitchen by adding the line to the default.prop This would allow the modification to stick even after reboot and did not require root. I unpacked the boot.img from the Pixel 2 in Android Image Kitchen and it appears the default.prop is basically empty. I tried to add the line anyway, repack the boot.img and flash it, but the phone would not boot past the Google G.

Any other ideas for getting tether to work without root for Verizon grandfathered UDP's? Hopefully its just sticking the line elsewhere, but I've reached the limit of my knowledge of the subject.
