Hi
I seem to remember a post about firmware versions,
what the current generic firmware version is and what the carrier versions are...
Can anyone help me find it ?
Thanks

Found it !!

the rom codes have a specific code layout - X.XX.YYY.Z
X.XX (in this case 1.15) is the ROM version. Higher means newer. All these roms are 1.15 so they are all the same ROM.
YYY (405, 110, 60 etc) is the Region/Network code. Higher does NOT mean newer. this number tells you Who, and Where the ROM is intended for:
405 means it is a European HTC ROM
110 means it is a T-Mobile Europe ROM
60 means it is an Orange ROM
61 is Vodafone i believe
Asian devices have codes in the 700 range
Z is the revision number, and only denotes a minor change. Each ROM will have a different revision number as each network customises differently. This is only really relevant when comparing to the same brand code. so if you have 1.15.405.4 and then 1.15.405.20 comes out, then you need to update.
so, all the ROMs are version, 1.15. They are all the same, they are just different brands.

So what should I be looking for as the generic firmware ?

1.15.405.4

Generic ROM is 1.15.405.4

How can I install the offical unlocked rom on my carrier HTC 10?

Hi! I'm in Colombia and I bought the HTC 10 from Claro (Carrier), I want to remove all the Carrier info and run a clean android experience and also recieve the latest updates, I'm running Android 6 with software number 1.08.620.2 and on HTC's site they are on software number 1.80.617.1, my phone's model is 2SP6500.
I was wondering if I install the official unlocked ROM that's on HTC's site?

Short answer is no you can't. You would need s-off.

htc_pmewl is the product version for North American HTC 10s
You can find your CID and MID in download mode. Also your current firmware version is listed as "OS".
All of those are identifiers for your model. CID combined with MID will tell you which model you have (US Unlocked, T-Mo, Verizon, Bell etc), but the firmware version is the easiest way to tell (at least for me).
The firmware number is broken into 4 parts. For mine it is 2.51.617.32
The first part (2) signifies the Android version. On the HTC 10, the 2 signifies Nougat (it increases by one for each version)
The second part (51) signifies the build version from HTC
The third part (617 <----the most important part) signifies the actual model of phone the firmware is meant for. 617 is for US Unlocked, 651 is Sprint, 531 is T-MoUS, 605 is Verizon, and 666 is Bell and 401 is WWE/Europe (there are more, but for htc_pmewl these are the ones that matter ~ 401 is added because you'll see that a lot here)
The fourth and last part (32) signifies the revision of the HTC build
Most of all that information isn't too important except for the third part. That is what you need to pay attention to when flashing firmware and RUUs

Oh, I forgot to add, you can probably flash pretty much any ROM here. Most are GSM with CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) support added

Perhaps it could be changed if the phone is S-Off, but that won't really matter anyway. And the US Unlocked gets the quickest updates. It'll be the first model to get Oreo (based on every update released so far). And yeah, you should be able to flash any ROM for the 10. Any ROM I know of anyway.

even non US ROMS safely?? or would that require s off? i assume it will if radio partition and vendor are touched?

Non US ROMs should be fine. Most of the popular ones are actually based on WWE/Europe, but they work fine with US Unlocked, AT&T or TmoUS. And most of them have support added for Sprint and Verizon.
The OP on the ROM threads will let you know what is compatible and not.

HTC Firmware Differences DE vs PL vs US Unlocked

Hi everyone,
I am currently running an HTC 10 w/ Oreo (LeeDrOiD 10 V5.2.3 / CleanSlate 3.18.63) on T-Mobile. I got the phone new on ebay and it was a T-Mobile Demo Unit. Process to get the phone on oreo and leeDroid first was to change phone cid BS_US001 and mid to 2PS650000 and afterwards installed the the oreo firmware. I installed (2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_O80[email protected]60322_CNV_0.77_002_release_520336_combined_signed_2)
I have been having issues with my hotspot NOT staying on so I wanted to reflash the original firmware to see if that could be the issue and then reflash LeeDroid and the CleanSlate kernel.
I recently came across an xda thread that had all the Oreo firmwares ([8.0] HTC 10 OREO FIRMWARE) and I am bit confused as to the differences and what I should install. Being on T-mobile of interest is
T-Mobile/DE: <-- Developer Edition
T-Mobile/PL: <-- ???
US Unlocked: <-- Assume this is what my original firmware upgrade was based on even though I do see VZW (which I think means verizon)
Can anyone explain the differences between the 3 above and what I should pick? @Mr Hofs figure I would tag you since you know a ton about this phone

The differences between the firmwares aren't that significant, the main changes are that they have more carrier specific files embedded in them.
You have the hotspot issue on US unlocked, i have the same with WWE general firmware. I really don't think it's related to firmwares though. But try as you wish but you also need to change cids and mids.

I think you are better off trying wwe firmware or US unlocked with its pure stock rom. Way easier than going for carrier firmwares, they won't do you any good.

Question Stock Rom "versions"

Hi there,
I would like to flash realme Stock Rom On my realme c21 phone. On the web "oppostockrom.com" there Are many different versions/files
Example :
Realme_c21_rmx3201_PU_11_A.23_210210_rft.zip
Or
Realme_c21_rmx3201_PU_11_A.29_210419_rft.zip
...
Oppo Stock ROM
Find Oppo and Realme Stock ROM (Firmware) for various Oppo/Realme Devices. All the Oppo/Realme Firmwares listed are available for free.
oppostockrom.com
I dont know how do they differ - I dont known what do thé numbers And letters mean. So i dont know which one to choose.
Can anybody Tell me what Is thé difference; or better: give me advice how to get known which version do i Need for my phone
Thanks

Yes, it's confusing. I can only tell you the number after the A is a build number. https://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ has some versions broken down by region.

Any it the android 10 stock ROMs will work an you change your region firmware as as stated before. Android 10;firmwares start with a.xx.xx
The android 11 firmwares are more specific to region from android 10, and hence you will need to download the correct update from website or pick a region and wait for ota update.
Android 11 firmwares are c.xx builds

Here I am again
Finally I have found compatibile stock ROM file. BUT there is still little difference in the file name: the letters in the end of the codename are different:
Built number of my phone:
RMX3201VF_11_C.11
The chosen stock ROM name is:
RMX3201GDPR_11_C.11
What does there letters mean? Is this diference problem? In the web www.realmefirmware.comhttps://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ there is no file with "VF" in the name.
Thanks

I think you'll find the version with GDPR is the name is the European version. GDPR most likely stands for the EU General Data Protection Regulation
It's possible the version with VF in the name is a version specific to Vodafone. Is yours a Vodafone branded phone? As realmefirmware.com is a 3rd party site it does not have firmware links for every region.

Hm. It's strange, my phone isn't branded and never have been. But I am in EU and my phone was bought here, so I will probably use the "GDPR" version.

It's up to you. The safest strategy would probably be to return the phone to Android 10 and let the phone update itself to Android 11 based on its own location setting. Assuming that's how that update works.

Ok. I will think about your method. As you said I Could use any A.xx (android 10) version

I'm just going by smiley.raver's post.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, like he said

Hey guys, sorry for late reply.
Gdpr is global.
A.53, a.23, a37 etc is androids 10 realme ui1 global varient use region changer to change which region
Global gdrp c_03, c_ 09,c_11 is android 11 realme ui1 global
Export, ex c_03,c_09c_011 is non global and generally has a region attached to it

There is 2 EU versions EUEX AND EU brande
Euex is your no branded EU varient otherwise there is the EU branded varients which are generally your Vodafone brands etc which are labelled generally like any other regions firmware.
Under android 10 region selector is the best screen to see this on. Otherwise there is a few files on /system (just have to find them againyself) that have the different firmware regions) can't cahnge it this way but just a good list.
