I have an SGH-1747M which I am sure is the correct model since that it is what it said before I installed a new ROM and it is the model listed at the back of the phone, with the serial number. Recently, I installed a Lollipop ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-d2spr-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3074688
The ROM was meant for for the model SPH-L710, but it managed to be installed on my SGH-1747M phone. The ROM, although it works perfectly, has changed the model number on my phone to SPH-L710, and now my phone is only compatible with d2spr. I tried installing the ROM actually meant for my phone but I was unable to since my phone isn't d2att (the actual code for my phone) anymore. I tried installing a stock ROM through odin but it still won't recognize my phone as SGH-1747M.
I need to know how I can return back to my default model, since I have been told I will have network problems with the current ROM since it is not meant for my phone.

Visit this thread but don't flash anything else until you have read and asked for help there . Post there and explain your situation and even private message the op if you need to . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
I would just be extremely careful with this. Do you make a nandroid backup before flashing? I would restore that or a previous one first. That will probably fix your problem.
Have you tried to flash one of the Unified CM 11 Zips? Those are kind of universal installer, see if that will fix your problem. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte Download this and make sure you wipe everything a few times. Then install the zip.
People on here bricked devices by downgrading to certain modems/basebands after flasher a newer one. It seems like you have a newer modem, so I wouldn't try it. If you can still get into download mode, I would flash the latest tar for your device. I'm pretty sure it is an AT&T device or close variant.

Thanks it worked.
As you know chainfire makes a cf-autoroot for this model of the SM-T805W cellular tablet. (Having serached the forum here, there is one other post where someone claims to have installed the twrp 3.0.0 running on this model, claiming to use the wifi version download.) I tried flashing both the wifi and lte version of twrp, but claims of it working do not hold up, and both fail to produce a working recovery, and so I think this model just needs its own ported version.
If someone is able to point out a compatible version, I would greatly appreciate the advice. For inspection I have linked the recovery for SM-T805W for the kitkat stock rom.

If my only purpose for twrp is to flash zip files and if root is gotten through cf-autoroot, would it suffice to use chainfire's flashify for all intended flashing? is this function equivalent with it through twrp?

Is there a reason you're hanging on to KitKat?
Also existing kitkat versions of twrp work for your device.

I guess I assumed recoveries would be compatible between android versions, but I'm not sure wher this is indicated. I only installed kitkat yesterday to figure what works or doesn't but still didn't see a compatible twrp.
I am genrally on lollipop, and will go back due to compatibility with apps. Is there a working version for lollipop then? Thanks!

How can I change my keyboard to an Apple IOS one?
Hey all, just copped a US Verizon HTC 10. Haven't unboxed it yet. If I fire it up, can I take any OTA and still unlock the bootloader / root it when I want to, down the line?
I come from many Samsung Galaxy S phones - this is my first HTC - from Galaxy S experience, certain updates made rooting / safestrapping a pain or downright impossible without backpeddling to an old version of the phone.
From all I've read, I see no big red flags about <this version> or <that version> is not rootable / bypassable. It looks as if the HTC 10 is a lot easier to get around, load on a custom recovery and ROM. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks very much!
Got a couple of questions as I'm coming from a Moto X with near-stock M, and would like something a bit closer to that experience on my HTC 10. I'm not new to using custom ROMs, but I'm no expert either.
1) Is it possible to change the default clock app (click action on HTC clock widget), lockscreen (to stock android) and/or lockscreen clock widget without root or custom ROM? Lockscreen apps don't quite do it for me as every single one I've tried lags quite a lot (homescreen flashes).
2) Is it possible to install a custom ROM and stay UNrooted (for payment services etc which refuse to work on rooted devices)? I have no real need for root access other than to change my device's default apps.
3) What would be the go-to ROM and/or customization path for a GPE-like experience on the HTC 10 (Stock Android w/o Sense and HTC apps, OTA updates, stable)? Like mentioned above I have no need for performance enhancements, further tweaks or even root access. In the past I'd go for official CM, but that's not an option now I suppose.

Trying to remove sense 8 completely, tried titanium backup but it just removed the updated version and shows in the play store to update. Tried solid browser to remove everything but fails, tried app system remover on playstore but that fails as well. Is there any zip that can remove it like on viperrom?

Hi
some of the carriers lock their devices down, so they won't be bootloader unlocked, even through HTC. As far as I know Sprint or Verizon are one of the carriers doing this. Can't tell you for sure, as I don't use those carriers.
If unlocking is possible it can be activated in developer settings and done via HTCDev. This you'd be able to flash the latest TWRP as well as root your device using SuperSU or phhsupersu.
The 10 gets, to use someone others words, finickery as soon as you start tinkering with other firmware e.g. debranding, up- and downgrading. It's by far the most complex HTC device. And I'm using them quite a long time as you can see in my signature.

Verizon bootloader cannot be unlocked. Your only option is to S-off with Sunshine, which then allows you to do whatever like flash Roms, root, etc. You should do that before flashing any of the latest updates, sunshine may not work with latest/future firmware.

Regarding your questions some hopefully helpful answers:
1) not as long as you're using a Sense based ROM. As soon as you use e.g. Viper10 in full de-sensed mode, or any CM/AOSP based custom ROM, yes.
2) in this case it'd be better to take the disadvantages named in 1), just unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, flash magisk, and flash e.g. the Viper 10 magisk version. This you'd keep a full stock based ROM passing safety net, hobtaining full carrier features, and could load the custom ROM as a magisk module to obtain all tweaks and additions.
3) currently I'd say crpalmer's CM14.1, or one of the Resurrection Remix ROM. All are, quite stable and N based. Alternatively you could use Viper10 with a lot if tweaks and a de-sense option.

Thanks, I'll look into Magisk - that one's new to me but looks very interesting.
Haven't read up on/understood it fully yet, but is the "Magisk version" just a mod "layer" on top of the stock ROM? As in I'll still be "stock" but able to disable/tweak parts of the OS?
And TWRP doesn't break safety net by itself? That's what I was starting to worry about.

I'd say it is a mod directory, as magisk mounts the additional folders needed for the tweaks to work as well as replacing mount points of specific tweaked, or replaced system apps. In a custom Sense ROM it e.g. virtually replaces the prism.apk installed on system, by the tweaked one, without uninstalling the original file. To be correct without even touching the system partition of your stock ROM.
Same can be done to single apps. The GPE dialer magisk module is an example for such a mod.
After installation of magisk and magisk root you can easily reinstall the stock recovery, as far as I know. This is exactly how you preserve the safety-net functionality.

OK so I ran Sunshine on my Verizon HTC 10 and got bootloader and s-off. Changed cid to us unlocked and flashed us unlocked ruu. Took about 5 otas and now running 7.0 Nougat. Attempted to flash tarp thru download mode and looks like it was successful but when I boot into recovery I get this black HTC screen with red letters! After a few seconds the phone will just reboot into the os! Is there anything im doing wrong or that I need to do?

What I ended up doing was unlock bootloader thru HTC device website and reflashed TWRP after and that seemed to do the trick! Funny thing was I didn't get the unlock screen after flashing the unlock token I got from htc asking if I want to unlock my bootloader!

If your on Nougat make sure you flashed the latest TWRP 3.0.3-0 unofficial which you'll find over at the TWRP thread, in the downloads tab. It sounds as if you fried to flash TWRP 3.0.2-6 which isn't compatible to Android N firmware and thus won't boot at all.
Edit: nvm saw only your previous post at first. Kind if tired. Will go to bed to read a bit better tomorrow.

After upgrading Viper10 1.2.1 to 4.4.0, when I press on a contacts name, I now have to hit call afterwards, whereas before, I could (from the dialer screen) just start typing someone's name using the numbers and then tap on their name and it would automatically start dialing without hitting call.

Weird. I'm running Viper 4.4.0 as well an don't fave this Bug at all. Doesn't seem to be ROM related. Did go up from 1.2.1 to 4.0.0 right away, or did you take all the Updates provided in between. I always updated to the latest ROM as soon as they published it, This the last time I went from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0.
Did you always check the md5 of your ROM download to make sure the download went fine!? Did you try to reinstall Viper, using a clean flash?
Sent from my htc_pmeuhl using XDA Labs
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I went straight from 1.2.1 to 4.2.0 after flashing the lastest RUU from sprint. Then up to 4.3 and now 4.4 but I noticed the issue after the initial 1.2.1 to 4.4. I didn't check the md5, but I will and then reflash and see what happens.

I used to have this problem on my Verizon 10, and it went away when I converted to U.S Unlocked (and wiped my phone in the process). I'm not sure what did it exactly, but perhaps a clean flash will help. If not you can also try to update the phone apk.
Help @@
I'm getting a HTC 10 soon, and there's some question that I need to ask before I modify anything.
I saw there's some thread about radio missing and other problems when rooting (something to do with force encryption), is that still unsolved?
And here's a list that I'm planning to do, mind help me checking it?
Unlock bootloader and root
S-off
Change CID MID and RUU to US Unlocked firmware(Nougat)
Install Leedroid (Marshmallow, can't live without xposed)
Any help or advice is highly appreciated
So I have an unlocked HTC 10. a while back I managed to do all the good stuff to make it work with Verizon. I don't remember all of the things I did, but safe to say the needed things for it work on Verizon through the #*#*4636*#*# menu. Fast forward a year later, I'm still on 6.0.1 and I would like to know how I can go to the latest and greatest update from Android while being able to connect to the Verizon signal. I haven't kept up with anything from here so pardon my lack of knowledge.

So you must be s-off in that case and you simply flashed the Verizon radios, right?
You can probably update your unlocked 10 to the latest software, and then redo the steps you originally did to get it to work on verizon.
To update:
If you were never rooted and didn't ever modify your system partition, make sure you have stock recovery and take the OTA update.
If you are rooted, but have an untouched system backup on hand, restore it as well as stock recovery and then take the OTA.
If you are rooted with no backup, or if the above options fail, the easiest and cleanest way is to backup your phone contents and run the latest Nougat ruu which will bring you to fully stock and updated.
Other option, since you're s-off, is to flash the OTA "manually" with twrp and through fastboot. Look for instructions in the twrp thread faq.

No. To convert US Unlocked to VZW we had to manually set the CID and then run the Verizon RUU. If we flash the latest N RUU, I don't think that'll work on VZW. Last I checked (which was last fall TBH) VZW was on a different and older branch than the Unlocked latest head codeline. We should be able to run the latest VZQ RUU assuming someone has made one. I'm also looking for this. I'll update this post if I find it.

Where does the OP say he converted to VZW variant?
There are two ways to get unlocked to work on VZW, one is to flash just the modem and the other is a full Vzw conversion. Based on the fact he states he had to go into the secret menu, my guess is that it was the former which is why I asked....
FYI latest vzw ruu can be found on the Verizon HTC 10 forums.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/verizon-official-ruu-1-19-605-9-t3377586
Interesting, didn't know you could get VZW to work without the full conversion. That was the route I went, and despite it, my phone still shows up on Verzion as a 'Non Verizon Device' (Everything works though). Thanks for the link to the RUU though!
