HK HTC10 Returning to stock rom

Hi there, I'm using Hong Kong version of htc10, i tried to root it but when i flashed supersu and xposed arm64 sdk23, it comes to stuck in the system ui interface showing that: 'System UI has stopped unexpectedly....etc.' Looping in that point. So i tried wipe all data in twrp mode and reboot again, still the same situation. Then I download a TW version of stock IMG which is 1.30.708.1(Original was 1.53.708.4) and flashed it in download mode, after that i rebooted it, everything is normal again. Fresh new welcome screen.
But there are some features that i can't use such as can't receive 4G+ signal, can't receive VoLTE, even could't use battery saving mode ....etc.
So I just want to know where can I find the STOCK IMG for my HK version CID HTC__622, which is 1.53.708.4 or so called RUU for it? Thanks.:crying::crying:

I'm looking for the HK stock img as well, I've only found one which seems to have been modified so OTA no longer work. Did you have any luck?

I've found a twrp backup posted from someone else:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297/post67760253#post67760253
the working link for the download is on the next page.
this is definitely the HK rom as after a wipe the default language is HK Chinese.
only problem is OTA does not work and when trying to manually flash the OTA manually (using TWRP and stock recovery) the check on the OTA zip passes but the system check fails so it looks like system has been modified.

Rename zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip. Place on sdcard. Reboot to download mode and follow instructions. Do full backup before (SD and internal).

Once that file is in correct spot, you will see option to flash it (VOLUp to flash). Been a while since I flashed stock img. Check guide section if you want to confirm.

Please help the Hong kong community by backing up the system image and boot for 1.80.708.6 . I already provided the stock recovery file. It shouldn't take too long.

I would love to help but I've already sold the HTC 10 on already.
But with the RUU linked by purple patch you can get to stock completely. And it's so easy!

OMG, how the hell did i miss such important thing!!! I will try it right away! Thank you!!VERY MUCH!!!!

Sorry to bother you again, I put the 2PS6IMG in the external card, but it show an error message:" FAIL19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing."
Maybe the IMG version that i downloaded us higher than my phone currently running? I'm running 1.53.XXX now.

Well, nevermind, I S-OFFed my htc10 and flashed the zip, now I'm using stock firmware and able to receive OTA, Thanks a lot man! You are my HERO!!

I encounter the same situation and like to return to Stock ROM, but my firmware version is 1.92.708.3. Searched over Internet and can't find the corresponded RUU. Anyone have it and can share to me?

you don't need the same version of RUU, just flash the old version. I always flash the 1.53 RUU

I assume you had unlock it, then it may already lost the warrant(not sure for this in HK), so why not s-off it via htc?

Untouched ZF2 Stock LP to Stock MM .184

Hi all, I finally read good news for our MM Stock: it is finally almost bug-free. I read that only the Wi-Fi bug still here, but wait like 10-20 secs of connection doesn't kill me.
So now I am fully ready to update but i don't know anything.
Here is my idea:
1) Do a full erase (Delete every folder/file).
2) Install the full FW of MM .184 downloaded from asus (I don't want a update just a clear install).
Unlucky I read that Asus Flash tool can be a bit crazy with strange errors and maybe can delete important partitions (like unkown imei, lost mac, ect..)
So, can someone please use a bit of his/her time to explain me what can i do? Like a step-to-step guide?
Thanks you very much,
LightDestory.

which firmware number you are currently on?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
very first fully unroot your mobile. reboot into recovery and clear factory data and reset. ther clear cache partition. then apply updates from adb then. install 2.20.40.184. asuming you are on soem lp version

My phone is untouched: no root, no bt unlocked and my current version is the latest avaible of LP via OTA (so the .198).
I have only the full FW WW-4.21.40.184.zip. The 2.20.40.184 (there is a mistake because it is 2.20.40.198) is LP... but I want to install MM.
Thansk for the fast reply. But, excuse me... I need more info!
I am a bit confused between flash via zip or a raw firmware... I just need the safer way that can erase all and do a clean install..

Use the directions here: https://www.asus.com/zentalk/ph/thread-98381-1-1.html

Hi, thanks for the reply.
This is the "update LP to MM" way... is there a way to clear everything and install?

After you do it then factory reset it.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk

I also updated from LP .198 to MM .184 because I heard a lot of problems have been resolved and I am very happy to say that I've had no problems whatsoever. The sound and mini freeze in games problem that I had on MM .134 was solved as well. The battery life is also good. The performance is good, phone works like a charm and I didn't even do a factory reset, I only upgraded and that's it! Kudos to Asus for finally fixingthe problems!

you don't need to do anything. just go into recovery. then click factory data and reset. then clear caxhe partition. then apply update from adb. and then install MM version you downloaded from asus via sideload command.

Thanks for all the replies. I need just the last info, help me to understand.
1)Go to Recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache partition (OK... I know how do that)
2) "Apply Update from adb" what means? Factory reset will make my phone like a older version of LP and I have to flash first the .194? or by clicling on 'apply update from adb' the phone will go in a "download mode" and so go to step 3?
3) Sideload MM (OK... i read on zentalk the sideload command)
EDIT:
I am now with STOCK 6.0.1 MM!
I got 2 bootloops but on the third flash the phone booted! WOW!
Moderator can close this.
Thanks again for the help!

Phone can't boot

Hello everyone , i need help from you guys
Just now , after i unlock bootloader and install twrp , i install the oxygen os open beta 7 i wipe cache and davlik and download a supersu, but when i boot it gave me a message encryption unsuccesful !!! I was scared and i press the reset phone button below after that it tried to boot up again , it stuck at oneplus logo for awhile and the phone power off itself!!!! I tried to power on the phone and get to recovery but it is still the same !! It stuck at oneplus logo for awhile and it power off itself !! Now i can only go to fastboot mode , what should i do everyone ? Pls help!!!!
Anyone with a solution pls reply me asap !!! Tks everyone !!!

are you on custom twrp recovery? if yes? flash oxygen os firmware 3.2.8 *40-45 mb in size* then flash official twrp. then flash 3.2.8 full oss. you'll be good to go.
.
are you on official twrp? *maybe you're not which I'm assuming* then flash official recovery through official twrp. then sideload official 3.2.8.

You will do , you can NOT flash stock with TWRP , TWRP has only just been fixed to manage flashing linoOS
,.184 M had better battery imo

Install giovix`s modder tool from general section
Set it up , use`return to stock option` --in that option , first select boot , then after- recovery(both will be stock)
You then can
Reboot to stock recovery ,adb Sideload stock M
Once you have done this above .
I will help you downgrade.

Or you can unroot ,flash back stock recovery and You can upgrade to M easily providing your phone has not been tampered with , meaning , you are not rooted no more and have stock recovery .
If you have above and you can factory reset in settings , then , simply download M firmware from asus.
Put on external SD .
It should read something like this
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip
Or .144 or .184 or .223-user.zip .
When downloaded and inserted into phone , open Asus file manager and edit the file and save > eg.
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip.zip
Eg , put an extra .zip on the end of file , save , then reboot phone .
Side note , you may get ota to M , depending how you unlocked bootloader in LP

plz help me..set is bricked

Tried to flash rom, ran into a few problems

Had a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past 12 hours trying to flash lineageos onto my phone. Let me try to give an idea of what has happened so you guys know what's up:
To start off:
I downloaded the unlock apk from the asus website and ran it last night
Afterwards, I loaded into fastboot and installed twrp
I made a backup using twrp and then I wiped the internal storage
Tried to flash the lineageos rom and got error 7
I thought I would restart the phone and try again. Not being able to get back into bootloader I thought I bricked my phone. It was late night so I decided to sleep and come back to it.
Woke up this morning and got into bootloader (I assume I was just pressing the buttons incorrectly)
Restored my backup and used my phone for a bit
After googling, found that I needed to modify some files in the lineageos zip to fix the errror 7. Proceeded to do so by wiping again and flashing the modified rom along with gapps.
Got into bootloop. So I turned the phone off and booted into boot loader hoping to get into twrp again, and try once more. Now, when I select recovery mode, it doesnt work and puts me back to bootloader.
So this is where I am now. And I've tried a couple of things, that may or may not have messed this phone up.
First off I've tried to, reinstall twrp.

Using this link I ran the file that he has given while in bootloader. Nothing changed. So I also tried to just download the latest twrp and flash that. Resulting with the same situation as before.
With a little more google I figured I would flash some stock images.

With this website. I went and downloaded firmware from asus website. Extracted it and went about flashing each item. That is when I realized that the file doesnt contain a system.img. ****.
At this point I also had a system.img from:

And I just proceeded to try and flash that in replacement for what I did not have. But I got an error:

Now from what I see here. It wiped it without adding anything. So now I'm a little scared.
I found this video:

With links to various files. Now I'm not sure if I can just download one and flash each file like before.
TL;DR: I've tried to flash lineageos. It put me into bootloop. I can't get back into recovery. I tried to flash some img files I found and I messed up (check imgur link above). Not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any help guys.

Had a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past 12 hours trying to flash lineageos onto my phone. Let me try to give an idea of what has happened so you guys know what's up:
To start off:
I downloaded the unlock apk from the asus website and ran it last night
Afterwards, I loaded into fastboot and installed twrp
I made a backup using twrp and then I wiped the internal storage
Tried to flash the lineageos rom and got error 7
I thought I would restart the phone and try again. Not being able to get back into bootloader I thought I bricked my phone. It was late night so I decided to sleep and come back to it.

What were you on before you started? Usually the error 7 is because you weren't on the right bootloader. In this case you need the MM bootloader. If you were coming from Lollipop that would explain it.

My bad I should have also included the model number in the post, I'm using the ZE551ML. Yeah, I believe I was on 5.0 when I started. If I hadn't all of this would have been solved? I'm so sad.
MM bootloader? (Sorry, I'm a newbie at this) So where would I go from here? Finding the MM bootloader and installing it with fastboot as well as trying to get twrp working again?
Thanks for the quick reply.
edit: realized i also linked the wrong youtube video in the first post, if you want to check it out again

I would go to this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3448966
And download the 4.21.40.184 raw image and the asus flash tool. (Google how to use it) use the tool to flash the raw image. That will give you stock marshmallow. Then go get the modder tool from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3458145
Use that to unlock and install TWRP.
Then you should be good to go to flash LinOS

When trying to install the asus flash tool, it tells me that it failed to install drivers and that I should do them manually. Is that necessary?
I really do appreciate the help. Thanks so much.

It sounds from your first post that the drivers should already be installed. Fastboot commands worked for you before right?

Yes, they were working. So it's talking about asus usb drivers?

Yes

Thank you. Thank you. I am downloading the raw right now. Will update when I use the flash tool and try the modder.
For the modder it looks like I will:
-unlock bootloader
-install twrp
-root
and there is an option of installing xposed. Seems like it gives you more versatility when flashing roms. Do you think it is stable and has enough support to be used with the zenfone? Are updates done automatically and does the framework stay when updating/flashing roms?

Getting an error now running the asus flash tool. Any idea? http://imgur.com/a/gOqf2
Also, is it safe to turn the device off? After flashing the imgs I'm scared to turn it off. If I accidentally boot into os will the phone break?

If you plan on installing LinOS. You don't need to root first. (you can if you want, but it would be a waste of time). Xposed is great but I don't think it works with LinOS yet. (at least that was the case when I was on that rom) LinOS does have weekly Ota updates. Just need to have twrp 3.0.3 or higher for the update process to work
