Hey guys,
I have a Taiwanese HTC 10 and wanted to install Nougat on it. It didn't work even with Bootloader unlocked and re-locked from Htcdev.com .
In the forums here i read, that you need to have to transform to the US version. And to do that you need S-Off (please correct me if I'm wrong).
While i was looking for Sunshine alternatives that are free and i found Moonshine (moonshine.io).
My question is if this can be trusted and really S-offs your device.
The 25$ for Sunshine won't be a problem if it really works and i can transform to US and install any RUU Rom for Nougat (official of course).
What have your experiences been with TW 10s?
The only option to s-off the device is Sunshine. Moonshine doesn't work anymore on any device.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Will the To to us to nougat thing work?
I don't want to spend the money for nothing.

yes, sunshine is great and simple, it works.
Mine is a taiwanese also, but i don't recommend changing, when i did it made my lte/3g signal worse, i almost can't use it on cellular networks, i'd rather wait for update.

What carrier do you have/ in which country are you?
It's weird that the taiwanese works better than the us version if you are in the us.

Look up the de-branding thread, you can definitely do the conversion.
I own the TW version as well and would say that it's totally worth that 25 bucks to soff.
US unlocked version is always better imo

I followed the Guide for debranding. I converted usind RUU (2.method) and did everything till step 8. Step 9 had to be done from the phone.
The problem is that I'm still getting Error 155 in RUU for flashing 2.28..... and 2.38....
The phone is S-Off, Unlocked and has 1.95.401.3 instead of 1.96.something (Hongkong). CID is BS_US001 and MID is 2PS620000
Any solutions?

If you're trying to install U.S Unlocked ruu then you need to have unlocked cid and mid. Right now you're using U.S cid but your mid is wwe.
If you're trying to flash a US RUU, the MID needs to be 2PS65000, NOT 2PS62000

You missed a zero on both of those. 2PS650000 and 2PS620000 it should say.

That's most likely due to the bug that was in earlier versions of TWRP. What device do you have i.e Verizon, T-Mobile, International WWE. More specifically perhaps, what's your CID?

Yeah being SuperCID isn't going to help much with going back to stock. Don't you know what CID you had before you changed to SuperCID? Or what device you had? AT&T branded phone, T-Mobile, International WWE, if it's some of the big "names" then perhaps we can still refer to some backups etc, if its something like TIM Italy then
Unless you want to convert to International WWE seeing as you're S-OFF?

Also for Verizon. I'm pretty sure there's an RUU for Verizon as well, you could always run that and return to stock on your device.
Hey guys,
I own an original unlocked M9 (1.32.617.30) and want to convert it to the international model for the quicker updates.
Just got it S-OFF and wanted to make sure I got the rest of the steps right:
1. Change MID to 0PJA10000
2. Change CID to 11111111 (or to HTC__001? which is better?)
3. Run 1.32.401.17 RUU (is it possible to run 1.40.401.8 RUU instead? or do I need to flash a 1.32 base first?)
Cheers! Trying to avoid a bricked phone :angel:

Who is your carrier?
You shouldn't need to change your mid. Just change to super cid and you can flash the latest firmware and any custom rom you want.
If you're AT&T, the 401 firmware should work seamlessly, you just probably will not get voLte. If you're tired mobile, 401 firmware should also work, but no Wi-Fi calling (you should confirm this because I'm really not sure). If you're Verizon or Sprint, I have no idea, but I think you're sol and have to wait until they release an update. .
Edit: nevermind about carrier stuff. Didn't see that you have dev edition. 401 firmware should all work.

I'm not in the US, but europe. I've bought the phone through HTC US and that's why i'm on 617.
Regarding the MID, it is only because it is listed as a step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948
And when you say "flash latest firmware" what do you mean exactly? should I install 1.40 RUU or 1.32.401.17 RUU first? I really want to know Im flashing the right file now that i'm S-OFF.

Gotcha. I didn't understand your desires. I thought you were basically asking how to upgrade your firmware and flash a rom. Probably you should ask in that thread and maybe clsA or someone else in that thread can give you specific advise. I assume you're looking to convert to stock 401/0PJA10000 and receive official otas?
This might help you as well.. its an A,B, C ... guide
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restore-htc-one-m9-to-stock/
From what Im aware, I thought Sunshine 3.17 only supports 501... arent we on 502?
Thanks guys I followed the guide from clsA and it worked perfectly. :good:
Yup! If you have a GSM M-9 than it's easy as pie! S-OFF, Super CID, Flash Firmware, Flash Rom! BAM! DONE!
There's something that I'm a bit unclear on when it comes to RUUs
Let's say that I'd like to try out the latest Marshmallow release without waiting for the OTA and use the HTC-provided RUU .exe (3.35.617.12)
I'm on a T-Mobile branded M9 and would like to keep WiFi Calling and Visual Voicemail. If I find that I am unable to use these features in the non-branded HTC MM release, will I simply be able to use the T-Mobile branded RUU .exe (2.11.531.19) to revert back or will I be unable to as it's an older version (Android 5.1)
I'm currently still locked and S-ON
I seem to remember downgrades not being possible on my M7 once the hboot was updated to a newer version, but am a bit confused about the specifics of the M9
Thank you, and my apologies if this is a dumb question -- I've done my best to find an answer through searching
You cannot flash RUU that does not match your device variant. In this case, you would need 3.35.531.xx RUU, to try marshmallow. 3.35.617.xx won't install on your phone, unless you S-off and change the variant CID.
But once your phone is S-OFF then you are able to downgrade, too. (Although it doesn't matter whether you use a RUU.zip or a RUU.exe.)

Well, now I'm a bit confused as far as variants are concerned. This HTC release page states
This software upgrade comes in the form of two sequential updates. The first update will install software version 2.11.617.180 , which does not include the Android OS upgrades. The following update will install software version 3.35.617.12 , which includes the changes to the Android OS.

Am I correct in understanding now that the '617' portion of those two versions is what indicates the device variant? And that my device's variant is '531'?
So then it appears that the only ways for me to try out Marshmallow at this point would be:
1) Wait until HTC/T-Mobile unleash their official release and update via OTA or RUU
2) Unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP, and install whatever ROM I please
3) Unlock bootloader, S-OFF, and RUU as I please

And so long as I'm S-OFF I could use this particular T-Mobile RUU executable to revert back to stock at any point and then re-lock my bootloader, correct? But as long as I'm S-ON, then downgrading is not an option, even using an RUU of the '531' variant?

1) Correct.
2) You can't flash Android M Sense roms when your phone is using the Android L firmware. So you need to look for the Android L versions of the roms (e.g. ARHD 14.0 or Viper 3.5). Sense-less Android M roms like CM should be fine, though.
3) Correct.

Correct (both times). Although you should keep in mind that your phone will bootloop if it's not 100% stock and you lock or relock the bootloader. (I personally think there is no benefit in locking/re-locking or even setting S-OFF back to S-ON unless you want to send your phone to HTC for warranty claims.)

Phone was just purchased used, so if there's any warranty period left it probably isn't for very much longer. In the past I've gone S-OFF for all my HTC devices (Incredible, then One S, then One M7) but they've always seemed to have their own unique quirks and this M9 appears to be no different.
My main reasoning for staying S-ON/Stock at the moment is just in case I find a reason to return the device to the seller. After a few days when I'm sure everything is alright with it, I'm sure I'll be less reluctant to tweak.
Is a bootloop easily fixable?
So, to clarify (again!) --
In my phone's current state, I would be limited to Lollipop ROMs when flashing via TWRP?
So then, the shortest route to flashing custom Marshmallow ROMs would be to S-OFF and then RUU to an International Marshmallow firmware? Would I need to change CID manually or is that handled during RUU so long as I'm S-OFF?
And the safest route (in which S-OFF would be completely optional) would be to wait for the T-Mobile OTA release for Marshmallow before unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP?
Thanks a bunch for your responses. I'm sure this stuff gets answered all the time, but it can sometimes be difficult to find a specific answer in the depths of these boards. Plus, I find it hard to keep 100% on all development when I only buy a new device every couple of years.
I used the ARHD rom on my last device and quite liked it, but there was a T-Mobile specific variant that kept WiFi calling and all the other carrier-specific stuff. I'm pretty sure the developer has since long given up on maintaining those features., but it's my understanding that ViperOne may still have them.

Miguel_Lancaster said:

Just reflash a RUU. The problem for most non-US firmwares is that HTC doesn't provide RUUs so sometimes there is no freely accessible RUU for a specific firmware version. (The only other method besides flashing a RUU is restoring a TWRP backup or re-/flashing a custom rom which needs an unlocked bootloader and TWRP.) If someone decides to re-S-ON and to lock/relock and the rom doesn't boot then that person might not be able to fix that bootloop without this RUU service. (The same applies to S-ON users who decide to relock if the rom doesn't boot.) HTC introduced a new security feature with Android 5.1 (firmware 2.x and higher). It prevents the bootloader unlock if the option OEM Unlock isn't activated in developer options. That's why I recommend everyone staying S-OFF and unlocked unless you need to send your phone back to HTC for a warranty claim since even OTAs can be installed with an unlocked bootloader. Well, RUU.exe deny to flash with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader but there are not many RUU.exe for non-US firmware versions and you can always extract the RUU.zip from a RUU.exe. (RUU.zip files can be flashed via an external SD card even if the bootloader is unlocked.)

Or you use an unlocked/dev edition RUU. There is no big difference between the firmware of those two M9 versions. Nevertheless you need to change both the CID and the MID. The commands are fastboot oem writecid <enterwhicheverCIDisneeded> and fastboot oem writemid <enterwhicheverMIDisneeded>. (SKU 617 - unlocked/dev edition - CID: BS_US002 - MID: 0PJA11000; SKU 401 - international version - CID: HTC__001 - MID: 0PJA10000; SKU 531 - T-Mobile US - CID: T-MOB010 - MID: 0PJA12000)

Don't know about ARHD but Viper has that feature.
Btw: Getting S-OFF is quite easy but it costs 25 USD. You simply need to use the Sunshine App. (Or you look for someone who has a java card.)

No problem. Maybe those detailed answers might help other users as well. (That's at least what I hope. )

**** --
I changed my MID to the Developer edition, but I accidentally used the letter O and not the number 0 -- so OPJA11000
Then I attempted an RUU and now my phone is stuck in the RUU screen and I can't even turn it off. Is there any way to recover this? I don't even think I can use ADB anymore.
edit: I got it to reboot by holding BOTH volume buttons and POWER. What a stupid mistake. I'll leave this here though so hopefully no one else does anything so stupid.
Yikes :silly:
edit 2: Hmm, changed MID to the correct value but I'm still getting ERROR 131 CUSTOMER ID ERROR during RUU. Will have to investigate this further. Maybe I need to relock the bootloader.
P.S. The command to change the MID actually seem to be writemid, not changemid -- figured that out through trial and error
edit 3: Relocking the bootloader still gives the same error RUU. Now I'm stumped.
edit 4: Turns out the CID should actually be BS_US002, not BSUS_002, as you told me in the earlier reply.

Seriously though, who decided it was a good idea to put a zero before 'PJA' for the CID? That's just asking for trouble.

That whole "0" or "O" bull**** ...
Cost me 3 days of heartache getting errors...
Yeah....that structure is a horrible idea....g
I updated my HTC 10 to the brand new 7.0. It seems either Google or HTC has totally broken the long pause conference call pin feature in android. (This is where you dial a number and a conference pin separated by a semi-colon like XXXXXXXXXX;XXXXX) The popup asking me if I want to send the Pin number disappears after about 3 or 4 seconds way before the "Beep" when i need to send the pin.
Total deal breaker for me, since I make conference calls ALL day and I'm not going to revert to writing pin numbers on my hand while i'm in the car so I can dial them at the beep.
I desperately need to go back to Android 6.0.
I have lots of flashing, unlocking, and custom rom experience, but this device has some strange quirks like breaking the radio if you decrypt the file system...
Do I just need to use an android 6.0 RUU?
Will there be any issues due to encryption, 7.0 firmware, or anything else I need to be careful of when downgrading?
I am wondering too about downgrading procedure...
I want to know if it is safe using ruu.
I want to convert my international Htc 10 to developer unlocked and flash ruu so I can receive the nougat it's just to try it out.
Can I reverse this?
Looking forward to that answer.
If you're s-off it should be ok I think. But without s-off, downgrading firmware using an official RUU is not possible

If you're s-off it should be ok I think. But without s-off, downgrading firmware using an official RUU is not possible

OK. Thanks to all.
Guess I need to S-Off. (I hope sunshine works on 7.0) or I'm pretty well screwed.

As of now i dont think sunshine does
The sure thing I know is that you need to be rooted to be s-off. If sunshine will succeed you will know it when the sunshine app check your system. Download the app and before in app purchase a licence will tell you if you have successfull s off.
incallui.apk
Would someone be so kind as to upload a copy of InCallUI.apk from a 6.x Rom.
It's located in
/system/priv-app/InCallUI
I've been looking everywhere for an Oreo firmware on the web. Is there one out there?

Sorry I should have been more specific. I found the link you sent me but I wasn't too sure if the t-mobile firmware De and pl will work with USA variants. The one I have is T-mob010.

Tmob010 is there. Not sure if it's the same but it matches your cid. Usually you can tell from the 3rd set of numbers in the firmware. x.xx.111.xx

The thread he linked you to has that firmware, but you can only flash them (full wipe and no wipe are both linked there) if you are S-Off. They aren't signed so if you're S-On you can't flash them.
EDIT: You can flash the RUU for your version if you are S-On as well as S-Off. Download it from here

I took a look at what do and pl are and they are both European. Would it work for USA variant? I am s-off, bootloader unlocked, and rooted.

I'm sorry. I should have looked at the posts better. I saw the links and mention of T-Mo Germany and just went with that. The CID for T-Mo US is T-MOB010 and for Germany it's T-MOB101, so I didn't notice.
I don't think T-Mo has updated to Oreo for the US yet. I do know there were issues with the one for US Unlocked, and the RUU has been pulled from their website for download. That's the second time they removed it (or maybe the third?). You can find it here on XDA, but I haven't flashed it yet because of the issues with it that have been reported (I'm US Unlocked).
The WWE version I think has less problems, but there isn't an RUU for it. Flashing the 2.41.401.41 RUU (WWE) then checking for updates in settings brings up the one for Oreo via OTA, so maybe that hasn't been pulled for a reason?
Since you are S-Off, you could change your CID and MID and flash the 2.41.401.41. RUU and update that way. The WWE firmware works fine in the US (except for on Sprint and maybe Verizon) so you wouldn't have to worry about much except for maybe some T-Mo specific things (like VoWIFI)
If you need instructions on how to do this, just reply to this and I'll do that for you.

Thank you so much for the info. Would you be able to post a link or a walk through to change from T-Mobile to USA unlocked? That would be so awesome in more ways. I also have an HTC U11 Life T-Mobile and unfortunately sunshine hasn't updated the s-off yet. T-Mobile stated I have to use the service for 40 days or an equivalent of $100 to unlock. Bootloader, tarp, and root with a new flash and unlocked it.

You just need to change the CID. The MID will already be correct.
In bootloader mode:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
Then you'll be able to flash the US Unlocked stuff.
For the U11 Life, I'm assuming you mean unlock the bootloader and not SIM unlock?
You can unlock it via htcdev.com just like most HTCs. T-Mo reps (and reps from pretty much any carrier) don't know F all. You need to elevate your requests to someone who knows somwthing. The people who answer you calls aren't technicians. They know squat. Same goes for salesmen at the stores.
At https://www.htcdev.com just choose "all other supported models" at the bottom of "select your device" and follow the instructions given on the website

Thank you for the info. I'm going to rework the cid and get Oreo installed. You've been very helpful and thank you so much for your time and patience with me.
