So I'm fairly new to the rooting scene. I had clockworkmod installed and I was unlocked and s-off. There were some weird google sync issues that popped up and I tried a factory reset. It still didn't fix the issues, so I decided to take it back into verizon, but I wanted to get it relocked. so I installed the stock recovery got relocked and s-on. I tried once more for a factory reset and I got stuck in the bootloader with the locked and security warning flags showing. Am I completely out of luck or is there a way that I've missed to get s-off again?
Unlock the bootloader again, then flash twrp or cwm recovery, then flash a rom. Then use firewater to get s-off. Alternativley you could do an ruu, and then use firewater to get unlocked and s-off.

I appreciate the reply but I just need a little more direction on the first step. I believe rumrunner won't complete because when it tries to reboot the phone to run adb commands it can't since the phone is stuck in the bootloader. When I try to flash a new recovery (be it cwm or twrp) in fastboot the flash fails @ the bootloader signature check. I'm not really sure what that means, but I get it everytime.
Also, I have't found any RUU that is for a Verizon phone. I'm not sure that others will work.
Reading over your reply one more time I think I just need to get that bootloader unlocked, then I can try out everything else but I'm hitting a wall. Any more insight into that?
When you originally unlocked it did you use htcdev to do it? If so they gave you and unlock_token.bin file, do you still have it on your pc somewhere, possibly where fastboot is? If you didnt use htcdev you can try to now http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader. Select all other supported devices in the drop down box on the side, then follow the instructions to try to unlock the bootloader again.
Unfortunately I didn't use htcdev, and the One isn't a supported device anymore. Or at least doesn't seem to be - I get an error:
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
Ah that sux. Well you need to try to ruu then, but im having trouble finding the right one. Do me a favor and type this using fastboot
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and post what it outputs here.

Ok let me look for the rigjt ruu. Also remove your serial ime and meid from that post. Not something you want people to know.
Ok well i got some bad news. I cant find a 2.10.605.1 ruu. I can find older ones but that dosent help, since a s-on hboot wont allow you to downgrade. Im stumped at what to do at this point. Hopefully the correct ruu will be available soon. Mabey someone smarter than me has some other ideas.
Ah, well... hopefully they can come out with it soon I really appreciate you looking into it!
I'm in the same boat. Unsure what to do as I need a phone.
I found a decrypted one, but that wont work with s-on. ?
But if there is a decrypted one, that means there must be a signed one somewhere. I will keep looking.
If you still need the signed 2.10.605.1 RUU.... PM me.. I'll get santod to add link to his thread
Yea you need an encrypted version of the same software build you were on. You can't ruu to a lower version since you are s on. But if you are boot loader locked you won't be able to flash anything.
If you can get the encrypted signed ruu from somewhere you could possibly boot to ruu mode and flash that. Then use firewater to unlock and get s off.

Where might i find the correct encrypted signed ruu?
As far as I know only HTC has them and they used to be available here but not any more. See if flyhalf has it somehow.
If you are s on though I'm unsure if you can flash it. But it's worth a try as long as it's the encrypted version and signed...that way all the stock files match the partitions and files on your device currently.

Nice, thanks for this. I can flash this too right even if I'm s off? Going to download it and keep it in case I ever need to ruu.

Yes even if your s-off.
I know i need to pay for sunshine to get S-Off,i'm considering doing it sometime soon,but just asking,would firewater work if i flashed rom to earlier version of android,like 4.4.0 or so? Also would it need to be official or could costume rom work too? Sorry for another annoying S-Off question. :angel:
No does not work.

It is annoying, since the exact same question was already asked (and answered) twice yesterday (and also easy to search and look for besides that) if you just scroll down on the first page of threads. It looks like you are new to XDA. But it would be your benefit to know that most every question you can think of about this device has already been posted, and the knowledge easily obtainable by just looking/searching. Only after doing your due diligence to search (and not finding anything) should you start a new thread.
Also, flashing different ROMs won't enable old s-off exploits that have since been patched by HTC. It doesn't work that way, HTC is not that stupid. The key is in hboot (not the ROM which can be easily changed) which cannot be "downgraded" unless you have s-off already.
In any case, firewater was an online service, so it doesn't work no matter what version hboot you have, since the dev stopped supporting firewater.

Alright,thanks,sorry for late reply. I've been going around xda forum and i saw that for some roms it says it requiers either htc dev unlocked or s-off. I can unlock phone with htc dev,does that mean i dont need s-off to flash rom,kernel and firmware?

You'll need S-Off to flash firmware. But there are other ways to update without flashing a firmware.zip, usually by going back to stock ROM and recovery, and taking the OTAs provided by your carrier or by running an RUU.

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. So yes, since it's purpose is to update, it should be higher than your current firmware.
Error 130 is because you aren't running the right RUU.
Get into fastboot and do fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here minus your serial# and IMEI. I'll link you to the proper RUU.

Wait. Dual sim? And I missed it anyways. lol. Hung over and just smoked a joint.
You'll have to change your MID as well.
You can find out how here.
I'm guessing this will work only, because I am unfamiliar with the dual sim. But since you are already running WWE firmware on your device, I think it will.

Then you'll probably have to go back to stock to update via OTAs.
Go to this thread, and do a search for what it says in your version-main for a stock ROM backup (if you don't have one that you made yourself) and also for the stock recovery.

I have stock ROM backup for version 4.4.3, but when i tried to update it just sent me into twrp,and i tried to install OTA from there but it just sent me some error. Do you suggest i move to 4.4.3,get stock recovery and then do OTAs? Also closest numbers to my main version in that thread are 3.32 and 3.34 for both ROM and recovery,if this doesn't work which one should i get?

As far as I know there is no RUU you could use unless you are S-OFF. But maybe llabtoofers RUU service can help you out.

P.S. as i am aware until now there are many users worldwide reporting they have received the OTA update of the Android 7, i suppose that not all of them are using the DEV version!! Anyway my target is to get the Nougat in the safest way without risking to brick my device.

I'm pretty sure that only the dev-unlock htc m9 has received android 7.0, anyway the update you got from HTC is precisely for the dev-unlock edition (x.xx.617.xx).
If you want to flash that on your phone you'll need the MID I told you and there's no risk in changing it but you must be S-OFF otherwise you won't be able to do that!

Your original post shows that you have SuperCID; that implies your phone is S-OFF - you can change your MID to register as any model you'd like.
To apply the Nougat RUU, your phone must identify as the developer model - currently your MID identifies your phone as the Europe WWE model. Mat08.cc is right: you'll need to change your MID to 0PJA11000 in order to apply the Nougat RUU.
(to answer your doubt - yes, the M9 Nougat update is only currently available for the developer edition)

Forgive if I'm wrong your CID is cid: 11111111 right? change it to BS_US001 like in the guide I sent you last time (fastboot oem writecid BS_US001) and try again.
Super CID gave me errors in past so it might be the problem

Hello friends!
My HTC10 is not rooted and is running on Nougat 7.0 with software version 2.42.651.66 and im not able to update it from the settings.
It is a Middle East unlocked device.

and then CHECK NOW
But it is only showing CHECKING for an infinite amount of time.
Tried this over wifi and on cellular data but still cant update.
I need a solution where i can update my ROM (STOCK ROM ONLY, DONT WANT TO ROOT) manually using an SD CARD only because my USB connector has got some issues.
Would really appreciate if someone can help.

Why is that weird. It's locked to Sprint. Check the region number. When it's bought in the Middle East it's probably imported. There is more to find about this in the sprint section, it has its own subforum

Do you mean that mine is a Sprint locked?? No... Im using it here in Middle East with the local service provider network. I have even factory restored it a few times...

Yes I just checked on the HTC website and the software version of my phone matches the Sprint details.
How do I change it to a Middle east version? Is it possible by flashing the ROM?? Which is the latest version of OS available on HTC10?? I have no issues with the network... I have factory reset it several times and yet my Local network is working. If it was locked to Sprint, it wouldnt have worked here on my Local Network.
I know this is an old thread now but I've just purchased a new htc 10 in the UK and it looks like I have the same issue as the op, (running what appears to be an unlocked Sprint phone running nougat on 2.42.651.66). Just wondering should I/is it safe to, update to Oreo via the ruu on the US htc support site, or I guess the other option would be to s-off, change mid and then flash leedroid or similar? I'm happy just running stock Oreo and don't 'want' to go down the route of s-off etc. Will I be safe enough to just flash the ruu?

Yes if the 651 part of the ruu matches and the first numbers are higher than 2.42 (like 3.16.651) you can flash it to get to oreo. After that you can stay stock or gain root, or flash a custom oreo or pie (los, aosp) roms.

Thanks for that. But now another quick question if you can help. Using a cid app via playstore it reports as a Sprint cid. I've since booted into fasboot/bootloader, it says *locked* but also says s-off. cid there shows cid.11111. I'm thinking this has been flashed with a Sprint ruu. Will I be safe enough to follow the steps to unlock the bootloader and just flash a wwe ruu do you think? I've flashed plenty of roms in the past and from what I remember cid. 11111 looks like supercid? In which case I can flash many different ruu's? Just really want to update to Oreo so would the Sprint ruu be the best option as you say? Then I can go on to whatever I want after that and just ignore the Sprint cid side of things?
Thanks in advance ?
Can you put the output here of "fastboot getvar all" minus the serial number and imei ?
And/or a picture of your download mode..... that way i can see more clearly what to be done.

As far as i can tell you can safely flash the sprint oreo ruu, i don't think you need to unlock the BL because it's s-off (the flag "locked" is changed by sunshine s-off). You should be able to flash the ruu straight up.
Most easy is to get the nougat sprint ruu and flash that, then update via HTC OTA to oreo.
If you want to flash the oreo ruu you need to flash the oreo firnware first and then the ruu other wise the ruu won't flash.

Just want to say thanks again for all your help man. Made some progress late last night. Oreo firmware flashed, Leedroid rom installed. All good....or so i thought...Realised i no longer have either a 3G or 4G data connection. If i put my sim in my old phone i pick up 4G fine. I also know for sure i did have 4G when it was on Nougat. (Why, 'o' why did i start this.....). In the Aroma installer im selecting WWE UHL build. Thought okay, maybe this is the issue. But if i try the sprint setting i then get stuck in a loop on the setup wizard with it trying to do "Handsfree activation". Im thinking maybe its a radio issue that somehow ive skipped/missed? Anyway im going to download the Nougat RUU and try going through the steps again, (if i can, from what ive read im not sure i can do that after flashing an oreo RUU). Any help suggestions you've got would be most welcome at this point mate.

Did you try 4G on the stock oreo build, flash the stock oreo ruu and see if that helps. I think I've seen reports about this in the leedroid thread but never really followed it as i know nothing to little about sprint
