Have you unlocked your bootloader ?

No not too sure how to do that. Any good threads you guys reccomend.
Many thanks

So I know this is scary for you and because it is something new, therefore be sure that you want to live with the responsability if something goes wrong.
Now, the next forum thread tells you how to flash an already rooted image BUT, and this is very important, this works only if you have the version 10c installed (Check in About Phone>Software Version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
If you have the latest version of the software (20a) the best thing is to unlock your bootloader, void your warranty in the process, and flash a custom recovery. After that, you just need to flash the SuperSu zip file and you will have root.
To flash custom ROMs, just access recovery and flash the zip file of your ROM.
I'm using the unofficial CM13.0 and works very good for me, but I do miss the official camera app.

Thankyou very much for your advice okarr. Will look into this

Have fun!
P.S: After you root your phone, as far as I know you can't upgrade your phone via OTA mode, I tried it and now I have a bricked phone. But there's way instead. So don't worry, just remember to make the backup before you want to do sth, so that your phone will be safe.

What is the best rom to update to?

HI, Im just wondering what the best rom to update to is for my HTC 10.
Im currently on UK EE network.
I have unlocked the bootloader (via HTCdev), I have S-off (via sunshine) and i am still running stock recovery and official rom on android 6.0.1.
I am hoping to update to nougat.
My plan is to hopefully lock the bootloader again after once i have updated so i can use Android pay again. Their damn safetynet app stops me from running it having an unlocked bootloader.
Answering my own question though, would android pay still work with a custom rom? or can I use an official Nougat rom then lock the bootloader to fool it?

with magisk and phh su safety net currently also passes on rooted custom roms.

I never used Android pay before my HTC10. the last phone I rooted was an old Galaxy S4, I had installed TWRP, SU, and used resurrection remix for it. it seemed to work perfectly fine. until I loaned it to someone an now its dead, (suspect water damage).
I'm currently at the stage of whether to install TWRP & SU to root it then go on to install a custom ROM, or leave as is.
I was tempted to go S-off,/Locked to allow it to work via sunshine but I would need to reset to S-on first.
Not entirtely sure of which route to take at the mo

What did you end up doing here, I'm on EE 1.95.91 and want to get onto N and a custom ROM - any suggestions?

Ive ended up using Leedroid. But I have lost the WiFi calling option. Im presuming that this is because of My HTC10 being locked to EE and having the EE branded firmware on. Lee an me have been trying to figure this out as I seem to be the only one
The latest Leedroid can be found on his website.

Youre s-off so update the firmware and install either viper or leedroid.. Both work fine. I'm in ee too although I don't care about wifi calling and android pay.. Magisk may allow them to work.

Thanks, SuperCID done, had to mess about a little as bloody Powershell has took over cmd despite disabling it.
The latest fw on htc for unlocked/developer HTC10 is 2.41.617.3, I presume this would be the same thing done via RUU and Sneakyghost's has no particular changes to it?

correct, just that it won't wipe your data..
You have a Dev Edition device? If not, you would need the 2.41.401.3 firmware.

Right Ill use Sneaky's version then.
My HTC is direct from EE, but now as I've rooted it etc it says its a dev for the obvious security check.
My problem has always been as it had original EE based firmware on it. a little googling shows a lot of network features dont work unless you use it. I know currently my VoLTE doesnt work as it drops to 3G when i make a call.

Same Problem My HTC 10 (US Unlocked) seems to be no longer recognizing the cellular radio I was switching between ROMs and I received an error when Android booted saying that decryption was unsuccessful and I had to factory reset the device. After performing the factory reset I was unable to connect to the mobile network, when I looked into the settings the IMEI was listed as Unknown. I have advance wiped data in TWRP by formatting everything on the phone and trying to reinstall Viper 10 (with encryption disabled) Restored the matching firmware and reinstalled Viper 10 with encryption disabled and even flashed the most recent stock RUU. I have never tried switching between US and EU firmware, From other treads I've noticed people had problems with their HTC 10's service by trying to switch from Sprint to Unlocked US.

Three things
1. LeDroids 8.0 requires 8.0 firmware
2. Purefusion os not sure why but I have signal
3. You maybe able to flash the ruu for your phone to recover.

As above... HTC Oreo firmware is required to run a HTC based Oreo ROM.
As noted in my opinion, once you upgrade to Oreo you cannot go back to N, you will loose cell service.
So next steps... Flash Oreo firmware.. flash Oreo ROM & profit.
You may need to do a full /data format prior to flashing.

You may also have to go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change the preferred network type there depending on your carrier, I have Verizon and I have to do that when I restart the phone.

If you installed the Oreo Firmware you have to stay on an Oreo ROM right now. Make sure you have the latest TWRP, wipe everything, format data (not wipe) then reinstall Lee's ROM.

sad thing is that that did't work for me on Tmobile with Pure Fusion Os 8.0 or any other non Sense based rom

Im having the same issue. Mistakenly updated with the latest Leedroid without flashing OREO first. It wasnt ovbious from the Leedroid.co.uk page. Now after reflashing several RUU my IMEI is showing as unknown. I have S-OFF now so hopefully there's some way of fixing my screw up.

Flash the Oreo RUU for your CID/MID and you should get it back
or
Flash the Oreo firmware (That matches your CID/MID) that I linked for your phone above (might as well just use the wipe one which is what I used to get my phone back)
Flash TWRP (if you used the fullwipe without TWRP, if not skip to the next step)
Install an Oreo based Rom (You can't go back to N or before)

Thanks, that worked

How do you flash the oreo firmware? with fastboot or through twrp? I did the same thing, now I'm stuck trying to fix my phone. I tried download mode through fastboot and through twrp, neither worked for me.

He did as the post before his suggested. (and many other posts here on XDA regarding Oreo update)
You have to install Oreo RUU or Oreo firmware + Oreo rom.
It's as simple as that.
Since I have no clue what variant/model of HTC 10 you have from what little you posted, I can't/won't direct you to a specific RUU or firmware.
But the info needed to determine that, has been posted many times.

You need Oreo firmware to run an Oreo rom.
Paste the output of the following command from Download mode:
fastboot getvar all
Remove your serial and IMEI from the output before posting.

No IMEI, sim doesn't work after flashing a custom rom

So I'm kinda noob to this, the Situation is that i have my HTC 10 with unlocked bootloader (TWRP 3.3.1-0-) and S-on. I had stock nougat 7.0 but one day i tried to flash a custom rom called Pixel Experience based on android 10, it failed, so i started to search roms and one called crdoid worked! But the sim, imei, etc doesn't work... How can i fix it? Like i've said in the beginning... I don't know to much of this, i've search so much for a stock rom to my device but it seems that my especific model isn't downloadble.
It is 2.24.593.81, I'm from southamerica, if you know can i fix it, please tell me thanks for your time

Try another rom, this is happening because of your rom that you have installed. Change your rom and everything will be ok.
