Hello, I was just wondering what will happen if I flash new kdz over my current one. I have this one rooted, unlocked bootloader and installed twrp.
So, if I flash new kdz, will it overwrite only that root, right? Not the bootloader nor twrp? I am not one hundred sure so I am asking here. Hope you don't mind.

You will lose root and recovery so you will need to reroot and recovery all over again......
Ok, thank you for your answer.

Hello guys,
I have a doubt about being root and getting the official OTA . All i have done is the next:
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Flashing TWRP and then supersu.
3. Restore the stock recovery.
My question is if I will have problems with the OTA (because firmware, root, bl unlocked, etc...) or if everything is ok.
Thank you

If you've done some research into this you would have had the answer easily...
Root and Unlocked bootloader won't prevent OTA. After OTA you'll lose Root though but you can flash that back again afterwards.
Thank you! I did the research, but I read a lot of things about the firmware and people who has to update first the firm then the ROM and other strange things... Having to flash both things is when you are S-OFF and you want to flash a ROM right? Nothing to do with my problem?

Well you don't need S-OFF to flash a ROM but you'll need it for the firmware(Radio etc).
Yes, it has nothing to do with your question though.
S-OFF, ROOT, Unlocked Bootloader <<<These things won't prevent OTA update.
Changed system files, Deleted Pre-loaded apps(Facebook for example), custom recovery <<<These type of things WILL prevent the OTA update from installing.
and when my carrier or HTC updates both ROM and firmware by OTA? it'll works as before? (sorry for being so noob)...

Hi,
coming from Samsung devices with a long rooting and flashing experience I get confused with my HTC this time. Read many guides and How-to's but that didn't light my bulb.
So, I am S-off, rooted, TWRP, and SuperCID. current SW-version is 3.29.161.5
I plan to flash the newest European unbranded version, and here is my problem: I find old RUU's, some new "Firmware", sometimes "Roms", recoverys etc. Is there one complete file I could flash via Recovery or ADB to get it done, keep rooted and S-Off, get European OTAs, and if so, would that do a full wipe?
If you have a link to the solution, please provide. Thnx
Chris

Easy
Flash this Nand (international 3.28.401.7)
Then flash This firmware
use this guide for flashing firmware if u have external sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
Read carefully and u shouldn't have any issues.
U will now be stock international and should be able to receive OTAs

Great, Thnx. Flash the nand with TWRP, right? Or is it from a different Custom recovery? Do I keep root, or must I root again after flashing? Is that full wipe?

That will be a install of a fully stock nand (no root or personal data)
Just backup any apps u want to keep with titanium backup
flash nand and firmware as above
flash su zip yo regain root
then restore apps with titanium

Hi, I'm a long time Android enthusiast, owning, rooting and modding a Nexus 4, LG Optimus V, and Honor 5X. However, the HTC 10 is really confusing to me because of its new Nougat update.
I currently have a US Unlocked HTC 10 with a freshly unlocked bootloader, S-On. I was wondering if I should root it with TWRP Recovery, and install an RUU to keep root, or is that not how it works? I'm jut very confused as to how to keep root going into the Nougat update. Thanks
Thats not how it works.
When you use an RUU, it will not keep root. It will wipe your device full factory reset.
I dont really recommend the 7.0 update just yet as there is no TWRP for it.
Since you are S-ON, you wont be able to downgrade back to 6.0.
You CAN root 7.0 using Magisk if you need to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/root-magisk-autoroot-magisk-phhs-t3507505
If Still you want to upgrade, then you should S-OFF FIRST.. so you can downgrade if you want. You can NOT S-OFF from 7.0 yet, and you can not downgrade without S-OFF, so it's a one way ticket if you don't S-OFF first. (for now.)
You cant really Keep root (AKAIK), you'll have to re-root after each update. Here is what I usually do (excluding the 7.0 update for now because there is no TWRP Yet)
1) Flash TWRP.
2) Backup System Image / Boot (Clean - before root).
3) Flash the latest SuperSU to root.
4) When there is a new OTA update, boot to TWRP, restore the Last Clean System Image / Boot images.
5) Flash Latest Stock Recovery.img. (You'll need to find it, or extract it from an OTA Zip)
6) Boot to Rom, Install OTA.
7) Repeat Steps 1-3

Is Sunshine still the only way to S-OFF? If so, is it still a paid option?

As far as I know, Yes and Yes.
I was getting along fine without it, until I upgraded to 7.0 and wanted to go back... now I'm stuck.

I see. Seems as it it'd be better to wait for a confirmed root / twrp method for 7.0 first for a guranated method. Thank you, some of these terms are new to me....

I think there are many of us that are in this situation, I will be waiting patiently for a fix to the TWRP issue with 7.0 and then will enjoy the ride...

Yep, same here. The best option is to wait for Captain Throwback to get TWRP spruced up for Nougat. Flash Nougat then flash TWRP.

Oh yeah, good point lol. Would need to flash an older boot combination I guess. Way to dangerous for most, this is why I s-off first and mess around after. I imagine TWRP won't be long anyway
Hey, I've decided to convert my phone to WWE, but I'd like to avoid unlocking bootloader through htcdev and I also want to backup my stock rom, since it's polish tmobile so not commonly available. Shall I just perform the steps from this thread, but only from 6th step, and after S-OFF that temp-rooted the phone just root and install TWRP and then perform the backup?
Any help would be higly appreciated
after having s-off, flahs TWRP and then DON'T ROOT yet, also ensure you keep /system readonly in TWRP..it will ask you when you open TWRP the first time.
Then go to TWRP-backup and backup the system.img and boot.img..then you got a 100% stock rom (besides stock recovery)...you could dd the recovery partition though, before flashing twrp.
now you can root your phone by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip or flash a custom rom (those are prerooted)

I'm guess there is no root for oreo as of yet for the z2 force? I bout this phone used and it had already been upgraded to oreo. From what I understand I can't downgrade to 7.1 without bricking the phone, I'm I correct? any help would be appreciated.
There is. You can flash TWRP and then Magisk. I take it your bootloader is already unlocked?

I have an unlocked bootloader on Oreo for sprint and want to know if it really is as easy as flashing twrp through boot, flashing the zip in twrp, then flashing magisk. I don't want to brick because there doesn't seem to be a Flash-all to flash back to stock oreo. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Correct:
Boot (NOT flash) official TWRP
Flash the installer.zip in TWRP
Flash Magisk for root
And there is a Sprint Oreo Flash All for stock - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75658956&postcount=65
