su application provide an option in sittings to unroot, i used it.

ok, to answer your original question, no you don't need to relock.
what about the command "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing boot.img and recovery?

next, did you disable any apps?. the ota checks the system integrity, the reason for unrooting, and if there are any changes the ota will fail. so re-enable any apps you may have turned off.
perhaps do a factory reset from recovery if the above does not work, or delete the ota from the the sdcard and try to download it again as it could be a bad download

no bro, i do not disable any apps, i did full wipe including sdcard, i tried factory reset from recovery and redowloaded, and it is not working.

Manually check system/bin and system/xbin folders to make sure there are no su files left. Just in case it hasn't been unrooted correctly. And get an app from play store to check for root

done all that, even flashed a clean stock nandroid backup, not working also.

i also tried to use the newly flashed recovery [stock] to wipe the phone, gives red triangle, and downloaded anothe file for the correct version and it is the same.

hey guys, i am still trying to get this to work, any help will be appreciated.

finally managed to get this done, it looks like my stock rom had somthing wrong so i used a clean nandroid backup from @arabmed and thats it.

Is it the 3.16.415.4 that arabmed uploaded here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

yes, make sure your CID is j_15 and your current ROM is the last one.

get the outcome of
fastboot getvar version-main
compare that number with the nandroid, they have to be the same !

Already did that but what recovery should i use? hboot v1.39 and do i need to relock bootloader to get the 4.2.2 ota?
Nvm I downloaded one from the post, but I see supersu after i restored the arabmed nand does that mean its rooted and I the 4.2.2 wont install?

There is no RUU for 1.54.401.10 available as at today.
What you need is a stock backup.
here is my TWRP backup for 1.54.401.10

Stock Recovery : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/1.54.401.10_recovery.img/download
I guess you know how to do backup and restore with TWRP. If you don't have one, you can get the one that I'm using in the link in my sig.
Basic thing to do is :
1. extract the backup on your PC
2. transfer the backup folder to your sdcard or external_sd depending where your TWRP backup folder is.
3. boot to recovery and restore the backup
After backup successful, you'll be notify of an OTA update. Before you can do the update, you need :
1. reboot to bootloader
2. flash the stock recovery that I linked above
3. reboot
4. do the OTA

Hi Eddy, I have been in your RUU thread and have read a lot, but cant see a VODAP001 for UK in the thread. I have spoken to a guy with VODAP001 but based on german rom.
Is there a way round this as I am s-off, surely If I find the right bits I can get to a stock state for a warranty repair? I'm getting nervous I wont be able to restore back to a factory state before the courier comes on thursday

So can I just run through and confirm with you:
Change CID back to VODAP001.
flash the nandroid backup in restore in twrp
flash the firmware in fastboot ruu...
Then look up on forum to change back to 'Locked'
Is this it have I missed any steps? I will give a go tonight and let you know, otherwise Im going to have to try and cancel this htc warrants fix as they will probably refuse and charge me!
I do have a friend sat next to me at work, who has an unrooted stock Vodafone m8, is there anyway he can create a RUU for me to apply to my phone?! - just another option I was thinking....

no he doesn't need a root - if he will root then the backup will not be worth much
you can put device in fastboot - start TWRP - WITHOUT flashing - and do NANDROID backup then
it would make untouched Nandroid backup

how do you get into twrp i thought you need to be root to change recovery?

If the bootloader is unlocked you can just boot into TWRP by using fastboot boot recovery.img as opposed to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. This wa it'll just temporarily load TWRP and allow you to back the phone up

Before I give a proper guide for newbie ... please post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
I need to make sure my guide is correct for your device version.
Also tell me why you need to relock bootloader ? If it is to update to the latest, no need to relock bootloader

While ckpv5 is right about getting your phone details I can add that to see the backup in recovery the files need to be in a folder with your phone serial number as the title in 'Backups'. To find the correct name of the folder first make a backup of your current rom in recovery. This will create a folder with the correct title then you can copy in the files from the backup you want to restore.
After doing that you should be able to see the backup you want to restore.

Sense your unlocked you can flash a custom recovery using fastboot as i would use twrp. An then download supersu.zip an flash it in your newly installed twrp recovery. An now you are rooted.

Maybe I didn't explain properly my bootloader is not unlocked yet, just wanted to know since the update is there a new root method....? Thanks for replying

nbd. You should be able to use htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader Or you can go the s-off way(which I recommend) use the sunshine app for s-off(if your device is capable of s-off now) an if it is sunshine will s-off an unlock for you an then do what I said above post. Those r really your only 2 choices.

FYI you will need to be on either of the latest two twrp versions to install su binaries properly if you have issues. Sunshine wouldn't work for me but its really easy to unlock bootloader and install twrp and su

If i'm s-off already I should be able to run the latest RUU to get me up to date with the firmware and then flash TWRP and then a rom correct?

You could do that yes. Or just flash the firmware zip an then flash twrp an flash updated ROM an you r up to date....if you run ruu it will wipe your device so backup your stuff to a PC or external an then proceed with ruu an flashing twrp then ROM. After you flash twrp I recommend strongly to make a backup of stock before you wipe to flash new ROM.

I guess i'm confused because of my Hboot being on 3.19. I've been wondering if there is a need to run a higher Hboot that probably came out with the new OTA, but the VenonRom 4.2 has been running with no problems. So i guess what I am really trying to achieve is upgrading HBoot and Radio.

Those r removed. Why you wonder because if boot.IMG is included an your on a custom ROM that don't use stock boot.IMG an modules you will be in a boot loop till you fastboot your ROM boot.img an recovery is removed because who wants a stock recovery to replace twrp then you have to flash your twrp back.

Yes you should be able to fastboot flash in ruu mode the firmware zip. If it ask to reflush immediately just re flash rt then an it will start the process. You know how to flash in ruu mode or ?

Hey all
Ran into a bit of a problem. I followed another sites instructions on rooting the HTC10 which basically said : Unlock Bootloader > Flash TWRP > Install SuperSU > Reboot phone.
What it didn't include was backing up the System Image.
Now, the phone will not recognize my SIM card at all.
Does anyone have a system image backup I can use to get the SIM working again ?

Ran into a bit of a problem. I followed another sites instructions on rooting the HTC10 which basically said : Unlock Bootloader > Flash TWRP > Install SuperSU > Reboot phone.
What it didn't include was backing up the System Image.
Now, the phone will not recognize my SIM card at all.
Does anyone have a system image backup I can use to get the SIM working again ?

I've already checked that thread (actually, was the first place I checked)
Couldn't see a CID for VODAP021
Is there another Backup image I can use that would be compatible ?

You try formatting data? Obviously back everything up to external SD or computer beforehand.

That was a oversight on my behalf. Besides, never needed to do anything like that on the M8, so it didn't really cross my mind at the time.
Anyway, its been done. Any way to recovery it now ?
Maybe with a stock ROM ?

Thanks for this guide and your teams' fast support of the 10. It's really appreciated. I got S-Off without issue.
One note about the guide, reboot to recovery does not currently work. It will only reboot to download, bootloader or system and attempting to reboot to recovery will reboot to system instead. @Captain_Throwback indicated this is a known issue with the current build of TWRP.

You can't even boot now?

Jut an FYI on VZW 10, you need to check oem unlock in developer options to unlock bootloader BUT it's not there. I assume Verizon hid it.

@jcase many thanks for this man! Now I have an idea of what to do next week.
Will donate in the form of buying sunshine again for sure. :good:

thanks @jcase for the tutorial

After some tinkering around and with everyone's help on this site, I found a stock twrp backup which got the SIM working again.

Have you tried re-locking the bootloader and using HTC's RUU for your device? Screwed up my previous phones and restored them using RUU. It will delete ALL data including TWRP though

Anyone got help with command promts etc, step by step for terminal with a Mac? With regards to HTC Dev part?
Clearly i'm not that super on it, but follow guides pretty well and have been able to do the HTC M7 but forgotten all the terminal parts..

Enabling this would not enable unlocking the bootloader, even if you could reach it in the UI.
Verizon users need to just wait a bit for a pure SunShine solution

I have that one. Not a problem. Just follow the guide. Make sure to use the uhl version of twrp not the wl version.

thanks again

It's been tested out...by me...and external SD will not mount in twrp. So you won't be able to make a backup. Uhl works perfectly. Captain throwback even said in the thread that he didn't need to make the wl version. He thought the uhl version wouldn't even boot...but I confirmed that it would.
