Can't Update Verizon HTC 10 to Android 7 Nougat - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I have a factory HTC 10, Verizon phone. I'm running on Straight Talk so I don't get OTA updates, but I've updated with my laptop and Sync Manager before, so I know I can. So, I finally got the notification on Sync Manager that I could update my phone, from 6.0.1 Software # 1.85.605.9 to 7.0 S# 2.41.605.20. I go to update it add it stops at 19% and says that I have to low battery, I then charge it 100% and try again, but the same thing happens, the update stops at 19% and says my batteries to low.
Now, in my phone under About, the software # is 1.85.605.9, however when I boot to Download Mode my software # reads 2.41.605.20. And I confirmed this with Sync Manager, when my phone is normal booted and plugged in Sync Manager says my software # is 1.85.605.9. But when in Download Mode and plugged in Sync Manager reads 2.41.605.20.
I backed up my phone and did a Factory Data Reset, hoping that would help, but I still have the same problem. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/verizon-official-ruu-1-19-605-9-t3377586 here is the link to the latest official RUU for vzw.

Thank you.
I wanted to flash Nougat the first time that the upgrade failed but I couldn't find the RUU online at the time.
However, I still cant get the update to work. Following the directions from the link, I still cant get my phone to update.
this is what I get on the CMD Prompt,

Check the MD5 of your download vs the AFH download link. Make sure they match

I don't think you read the first post of the topic which holds the RUU! It's all explained there how to flash it. I would take the SDCard method. You can't "just" flash it.
Read the first post from the given link and it will be clear.
So take the RUU zip rename it and put it on the SD then boot into download mode and follow procedure

I always try to ask, just to make sure they aren't stuck or frustrated. It's hard being new, and having people flame respond all the time (as I'm sure you saw some of the previous comments)

Thanks everyone for assuming I'm an idiot that doesn't know how to read. I did try to load the RUU via the SD card, that didn't work either. Yes it was formatted to FAT32. The phone recognized the card but didn't detect the RUU. zip file.
Anyway, I haven't bothered since I've been busy and the phone is working.
Is there a reason why my phone says its running Nougat in Download mode, but is running Marshmallow when booted up?

sounds like firmware from nougat mixed with marshmallow OS. was the RUU.zip renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip?

If Nougat and Marshmallow did mix, could that have happened when my upgrade failed the first time? I tried renaming it a few things, I think I renamed it to 2PS6IMG.zip, but cant remember. Also, I tried to use my 128GB SD card, formatted it to FAT32, but I had to download a format software, as I could get Windows to format it natively, in File Explorer or Command line. Could the SD card be to large? I wanna try again, but I'm gonna get a smaller SD card to try.

What it says in download mode is your firmware version, what it says in settings > about is your ROM base (what the ROM you are running is based on)
Also, with the 10 you don't need to have your card formatted to FAT32. exFAT will work just fine. I would suggest you re-format to that and try again (128gb cards aren't made for FAT32). And make sure you haven't accidentally renamed it to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip (I've seen that mistake several times before).

Well, like I said I formatted to FAT32 because that's what aer0's tutorial said to do. I didn't think it would work with my 128GB, and I was worried I was going to corrupt it, but it didn't.
anyway, I'm going to get an 8GB SD card and try again, I'll format to FAT32 first just to try, then if it doesn't work I'll reformat to exFAT and go again.
I'll report back tonight.

well it worked, I'm running Nougat. I got a 16GB SD card, couldn't find an 8 at Walmart, was already formatted to FAT32, I loaded the .zip file on there from my computer and renamed it 2PS6IMG.zip. Flashed perfectly.
after I plugged it into Sync Manager just to see if it would recognize my phone, as I've trouble with that before. And turns out there's a new update. So, I tried to upgrade, to the new latest and it failed @ 19% again, with a battery to low warning. I had 90% battery. I just cant update my phone through Sync Manager I guess.
Thanks aer0 for the help. I think my problem was I wasn't renaming the zip file right or at all. I tried so many times I forgot exactly what I tried. anyway, I might be even more helpful to add to your tutorial to rename what ever zip a person downloads, they need to rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip. Because, I understood it as, download whichever 2PS6IMG_something.zip, drop it on the SD and go. Just might be more helpful.

I unfortunately don't have the hosting rights to those files. That's @Kisakuku and others. Have I thought about it, sure have... The only problem with renaming them all to what it should be is you lose tracking of the versions, with so many it's easy to do. What I have done is on my PC, I created a sub directory of all the RUU's, then renamed them appropriately within, so I can drag and drop to the SD. Also, with OCD, I have multiple 4gb SDs labelled with versions. Which RUU did you flash? .23 is the newest, shouldn't be a new release just yet.

I didn't mean for you to rename all the files, as you said no one could keep track of which version is which. I meant you should add a note in the instructions for the downloader to rename the file after they download the zip.
I flashed to .20, because I didn't know .23 was available until I connected to Sync Manager. So I tried to update though Sync Manager to .23 from .20, and it failed @ 19%

I updated the OP in the verizon RUU thread per your request sir

It was just a suggestion, but hopefully it helps others just as it did for me.
Again, I appreciate the help.

Stuck in bootloop, can't flash

Posted in the general thread, but no replies.
I seem to have softbricked my phone by rooting then applying the OTA update. I've tried re-rooting, wiping cache, factory resetting, etc., and nothing seems to work. Following the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...d-zf2-t3127835 I can get to step 7, but when I submit any of the commands I get this:

It wasn't clear if it was a windows permission error or an android permission error, so I tried an admin command prompt but that didn't change anything.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Bump in hopes of a solution
And another bump, any help would be greatly appreciated
I'm wondering if it has to do with having a bootloader installed being over a certain version. I had 2 Asus Zenfone 2s and I get the same error messages. I can't remember what my first ZF2 had for firmware to start, but I was a dummy and updated it all the way to 2.20.40.90 stock. Everytime I tried to write via fastboot, Permission Denied. My new ZF2 on 2.20.40.59 also has the same problem. I feel like Asus patched the ability to fastboot these files or something. Running CMD as Administrator doesn't help the situation.
bumping because I'm having the same issue, coming back to stock after having CM12.1
As easy as it sounds, the solution was just flashing the newest software from the ASUS website, using adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.97-user.zip
I can't imagine why I wouldn't have done that sooner, but it fixed it. Whether that worked due to something else I did, i have no idea, but my phone is now working
I had that before but fortunately I was able to fix it.
Get a microsd, but a firmware from Asus website, make sure that it is the correct one if you have WW then download WW, download it from Asus website or it will not work.
Then put the micro sd on the phone., rename the file MOFD_UPDATE don't put zip cause it will be doubled.
Boot to bootloader then boot to recovery. Automatically the phone will restore itself.
Hi I'm currently facing a similar problem. Connected the phone via USB to a laptop and it rebooted all of a sudden and is in bootloop. It was not rooted and it was on 2.19.40.23, the phone is ZE550ML or Z008. There are 6 gigs of photos on internal memory which I want to recover.
I tried fastboot flashing preroot images and recovery boot and bootdroid images. Didn't work
I tried sideloading stock image from the Asus website. Didn't work
When I go into recovery the message - failed to map file /sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE comes up, last post said MOFD_UPDATE on my phone comes up different.
I also tried "adb pull / " - started pulling stuff but stops at some point.
I also tried flashing CWM and trying to mounts the internal storage as external device, didn't work.
I was also unable to mount the SD card, might have something to do with MOFD not being mapped.
Don't know if TWRP has any similar functionality but when I tried flashing any other recovery, after the process when I go into recovery itself the stock one takes over...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SD card MUST be FAT32 or 32gb or less. If you are using anything else it won't detect the sd card.
Cheers...
Ok it's been a while since I've tried anything with this phone and just now I did what you said, copied the firmware file which I downloaded from ASUS to a 2GB sd card formatted in fat32, rebooted to recovery phone applied the update sucessfully and restarted but I am still stuck in bootloop ? I tried every method so I asume the phone is ****ed and I should send it back for RMA ?

Really Bricked m9... Please Pro help required.

My M9 suddenly hang und went off... so ok i rebooted. but after boot animation off again.
i can boot into recovery and bootloader and download, but nothing else. ruu fails on pc and on sd. twrp shows system partition as 0Mb. i think something fckd up partition tables or so. i think i need a real pro to get this baby running again or at least to make it look like stock for return. if i try to flash stock recovery in download mode it says finished but still twrp on it. please please help me.
I was running Leedroid rom plus kernel.
device ist supercid and soff

Weird. Since you have TWRP, flashing a new ROM sounds like the best option. Maybe a full wipe beforehand? As long as you use a ROM that matches your firmware, it should work.... in theory, at least.

since my phone cant find an internal memory i cant flash anything... i think partition tables are ****ed up or so. fastboot flash recovery ends in old state locking bootloader via fastboot results in bootloader still open.
Never had a problem like that and im here since the g1
Yikes. I'm afraid I don't have any further advice. Are there any threads around the M9 forums that talk about corrupted partitions?
Hello, please see my answer on pm regarding help.
Until then, please boot into TWRP and connect to adb and run cat /proc/emmc to get a listing of partitions and their sizes.
Then head over to my firmware thread, find the link to my partition table document and compare with yours. Output should be 100% identical, if not, you're right about your suspicion.
I rather assume you've got a permission / security issue which renders some partitions inaccessible. I doubt they're actually broken.
Please also make sure you always leave precise and concise info on what steps you tried and what the outcome was. This will help keep this short and helpful for others too.

unfortunately my device wont let me boot in recovery again... now it states: Failed to boot to recovery mode Press Volume up to back to menu.
seems my tries to flash single parts of firmware messed this up
Ok please keep it safe now. Don't do anything else to it for the time being. I can try to connect to it via team viewer tomorrow if you allow me into your machine.
What is your time zone? Will you be having time tomorrow afternoon/evening my time? I'm located in GMT +1 (Germany).

Yeah yours is a real brick while the OP's phone is more likely damaged NAND. Two very different things.
QHUSB on your PC when you connect it means you've managed to actually brick it.
For this, you'll need to open the phone and connect it to some special tool like the riff jtag box and rewrite the corrupted bootloader.
@Tecardo can do this for you in Germany. I'm not sure where you are but Tec has all the equipment and skills needed to fix that.

Yes you need to rewrite aboot. That's only possible with a jtag box and maybe, maybe, under Linux because the qhusb connection has no stable functioning driver on Windows. It's almost impossible to flash anything via qhusb on Windows. It could work in Linux though. I remember having had a half-stable connection to my HTC One S this way, back in 2012. I managed to rewrite the hboot back then. But afaik that never worked on the M7,8,9...

I don't want to start a new thread. I have a similar problem. I have an HTC one M9 S-OFF Unlocked. I returned my phone to stock after doing a nandrod backup. I realised I had a sms backup in the nandroid that I need so I thought I would install twrp and do a restore the nandroid. I installed twrp and afterward it bootlooped when I went to recovery mode. It goes from white HTC screen to black screen an back. I tried to go to download mode to do a fresh install but it bootloops there as well. It also bootloops if I try to turn it off with it connected to power. I have tried installing different version of twrp but I get the same problem. If I install a stock recovery it says failed to boot to recovery mode and stays on the white HTC screen. Does anyone know of a solution
Best way is to flash a RUU.
after, for your nandroid backup, flash twrp (same version you have made the backup) and don't accept supersu at the end if proposed...

It was also possible w/Linux on the One XL. I too have never heard of it working on the M7 and later phones, though I've seen the odd post here claiming it is possible. No examples of anyone having done it, however.

htc_fastboot flash zip OPJAIMG.zip

[Optus M9] Need 3.50.710.1 RUU or the latest radio.img My SIM has vanished.

Hi guys,
I hope this is in the right forum. While the Ressurection Remix ROM broke my radio, my goal is to flash to stock so I can start again with a functioning radio and try something else.
The install went well: unlocked and installed TWRP just fine. The new ROM installed without a hitch but when it started I noticed that there was no SIM detected.
I found an RUU that looks to be the one I need: (0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.32.710.16_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_427214_signed ) and extracted the radio.img and used the scripts here to create an installable zip. But, then I read that I need S-Off and Sunshine says that my ROM is not stock enough to get S-Off... So I can not patch the radios in.
But when I try to install the RUU (relocked etc) it also fails as do the TWRP stock backups here
What am I missing?

Do you mean the TWRP Stock Backups?
TWRP Restore can't see the zips and I can not extract them to the phone because the system images' are larger than 4gb. As far as I know, I can not flash a backup image over usb, if I could I would have much less trouble for sure.
Also, fastboot shows the version as:
Code:
#fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.50.710.1

Thanks for clarifying
Are there any Nandroid backups with a smaller system image? 4gb+ seems to render them useless for me
Now that I am at my PC I can show you some more logs:

Correct, you cannot downgrade with a stock backup. You need s off and a RUU/firmware.zip.
You gotta find a backup that matches your firmware 100%

How do I get S-Off without a stock OS? Or can I possibly install the radio.img with S-On?
Otherwise I am pretty much screwed yeh?

Bro I'm not that into firmwares that aren't popular... but it cant make things worse to try to flash a custom sense Rom as leedroid or Ice. It's enough to just boot it to get soff. Either that or just stay on that rom.

I would stay on the ROM if I could get the radio.img installed. It works fine otherwise.
But you make a lot of sense. I will try some other ROMs and see if they work better with Sunshine.
Sunshines S-Off seems to like Ice more than Ressurection Remix but after shelling out $25US the app has been 'Unlocking' the phone for 15 minutes The progress bar is moving but it just starts again when it gets to the end.
I am going to work now so will just leave it and hope that it is done when I get home.

If it doesnt work, try viper. Read somewhere that their ROMs always works with sunshine.

Sunshines S-Off worked with Ice
Now to see if the radio.img will actually fix my problem...
Nope.
I am going to do some more research on installing the radio.img, hopefully I am doing something wrong there.
If anyone can supply me with the latest Optus radio.img file, I would be eternally grateful
I had the same issue trying to flash Leedroid from the same firmware. After some research I installed thicklizards Minimillistic kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/development/kernel-minimillistic-t3321416
After it installed it fixed all my problems, still on Leedroid and radios working again. Just make sure you download the RC2 version and not the RC3.

I have just finished updating it to the latest stock version so I can get a backup this time but, that sounds like a very promising solution
Why not RC3? I can't seem to find RC2.

In the end, I am back on stock and looking for something else to try. The root of the problem is that for whatever reason, and CM13 based mods seem to break my radio and only stock RUUs seem to fix it. I am going to try installing Ice over the stock ROM and seeing what happens.

Issue trying to go stock (S-On)

Hi guys!
My HTC one M9 was rooted, running Android 5.0.2 and i had Twrp recovery set up.
Since i was S-On and i'm a total noob/asshat i never tried to load any rom or mods onto my system =)
Now i wanted to try and get back to stock, so i could receive OTA updates, and after getting Nougat (even if i had to wait a long time for it), then i'd just root again and enjoy the lack of bloatware.
In this order i:
-Unrooted through the SuperSu
-Checked to see if it was unrooted using rootchecker
-Found my stock recovery mode here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...collection-t3132698/post61286815#post61286815
-Went to ADB, opened the command prompt
-Went to download mode
-entered fastboot flash recovery HIMA_UHL_Stock_Recovery_1.32.401.15.img
From there, i took my phone and on the phone itself tried to go to recovery mode to check..
The screen went black, it went to (the stock!!!) recovery mode, but now the system can't reboot.
I've seen the same question asked, but not for S-On phone or done in about the same way i did..
My info:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) version-main: 1.32.401.15
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__031
There are recovery logs on my phone but they are very long and i honestly don't know how or if i can retrieve them through ADB, if any of you should think it necessary and can tell me what command to put in, i'll bring them up right away!
thanks alot for your time, i'm very sorry to bother you with this
Edit: after encountering the issue, i tried wiping the cache partition and factory reset options but to no avail.
flashed twrp recovery back in, no change.
So, you found the correct stock recovery in my thread and didn't read the warning above the download links? Since I'm currently revamping the thread, it would be nice if you could tell me why you didn't read it. Was it to small? Was the colour unreadable? (This is a serious question. I'm not making fun of you. I really need to know that for being able to improve the thread.)
Flash a 401 RUU. Instructions and download links can be found in the same thread.

Sorry man.
You can see from the time it was between 3 and 4 AM =D
I read all your info, i just read it all again, but for some reason i didn't pay attention to
"Read the Backup or the RUU tab of my google sheet if you want to be able to receive and install OTAs, again.
Simply unrooting your device and reflashing the Stock Recovery is not enough due to the block-based OTAs."
I honestly have no *cursing* idea why that didn't register in my brain.
My apologies in any case. Your thread is fine, it's the most helpful i've come across for my phone in days.
I never flashed anything before, and i knew absolutely **** (not that i know alot right now =D but at least i'm learning). Without your thread, i'd probably still be looking.
i flashed the stock recovery (HIMA_UHL_Stock_Recovery_1.32.401.15) back on, got 1.32.401.15 Ruu from your thread
unfortunatly i don't have an SD card.
I tried flashing from platform tools the 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.15_R1_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_426891_signed.zip file

(it means: htc_fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batch file)
still an idiot. No idea what's wrong
you said in the thread:
Important Notes:
I won't support flashing RUU.exe files or flashing RUU.zip files via HTC_fastboot in this thread. There have been too many reports of people having problems with these methods. Trying to find the reason for the problems can be quite frustrating and time-consuming. The SD card method on the other hand is much easier and less time-consuming than searching for user errors if the other methods fail.
If you only have a RUU.exe at hand you can extract the *.zip file using these instructions. Although they're a bit older they can still be used with M9 RUUs.
so i went to that other thread to find out how i could do it
Yeah, I wrote that part because of all the problems that arise most of the times if people try to flash RUUs via fastboot and all the risks that are connected with this method. As you can see your try isn't an exception.
The bootloader needs to be locked or re-locked if you use the HTC_fastboot method. However, I don't recommend doing so if you aren't 100% sure that you can flash the RUU without any issues afterwards. If your phone isn't completely stock your phone won't boot anymore after it got (re-)locked. That is a security feature that prevents the phone from getting bricked if anything is modified. You can't even enter TWRP, anymore, in that situation if it's installed. In addition it's impossible to re-unlock the bootloader if your phone is S-ON and the option "OEM Unlock" isn't activated in the developer options. (Sidenote: The option got introduced with firmware 2.x. So in your current situation re-locking is safe. However, as soon as you updated your phone to a higher firmware version you shouldn't do it unless you know that you have a working RUU at hand and you know that you are able to flash it.)

thank you very much man.
i know questions like this must annoy you, and i'm very sorry for bothering you. I'm learning though =)
At this point, after the failed attempts to flash, is it still possible for me to use an SD card? If so i'm going to get one right away.
My worry is, though, that since my phone doesn't register on my computer, how i'll get the file on the SD card... I'm thinking i'll pass by a friend, put it in his phone, load the file on the SD card, put the card in my phone again, change recovery back to twrp and try to flash from there?
Please read the instructions for the SD card method. Chances are high that it's not possible to copy the RUU onto the SD card while it's put into the phone. You probably need a SD card reader.
The SD card method is completely independent of the fastboot method. And as long as the fastboot method fails completely (as in your situation) chances are high that you can still recover your phone with the other method.

Thank you very much for your help man =)
The whole thing is stock now, took hours to update it all but i'm on the latest update available here for marshmallow, so i'm quite pleased.
from what i've gathered it's not possible for me to flash Nougat without S-OFF so i'll very likely keep notes on how i did this, and either wait for nougat before re-rooting, or get S-OFF and hurt my (and maybe your) head again trying to get my phone the way i want it xD
cheers man! <3

HTC 10 UK Version

Hi, i have HTC 10 UK Version. OS 2.41.91.31 Rooted S-ON. i accidentally delted my internal storage and Rom in TWRP. I have backup in SD CARD but it is not workin when i restore it just stuck on HTC logo then reboot and in a loop.
Any help?
Em.. How you can accidentally click internal storage and System?
Nevermind. If you restored system successfully and it's stuck in htc logo then... I think you deleted something else too and the best option is restore full system image or RUU. It's my opinion and i can be wrong. I have only oreo images unfortunately and with .401. so i can't help you maybe someone else have backups of nougat rom.
Hi, thanks for responding. I amnot very expert in Roms etc. You can give me oreo image that wiill be fine. I can't find any RUU for this model. I just want it to get it work again.

That stock recovery didn't caused this issue. You yourself caused this issue.
You need a RUU 2.41.91 or a higher one (example) 3.16.91. I know firmware gem flash (website) holds many RUU's..... have a look there and pray they have it.

Sorry no, i am never giving support on people's payment options. I'm drawing the line at giving support here and if i have the files i will share but i don't have an account at that website.
I checked the website, continue with PayPal and you see the option to pay via creditcard. Problem solved

Downloaded the firmware flashing in downloadmode using SDCARD. Getting 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR :crying:
Try download again, check md5 of that file. It can be something wrong with that downloaded zip.

No idea why it's not working, the ruu should be fine. Did you download the full RUU right ? Not the firmware.....those are 2 different things.
If you want your phone up and running at least i have a custom rom that will work. At least for now so at least you can use your device again.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903991031
Flash that with TWRP and your phone should boot up. I'm brainstorming when i have more time. But the full RUU 2.41.91 (around 2 gig) should do the trick.

Yeah i downloaded the RUU. It a zip with some zips inside it. around 1..8gigs there are two RUUs on https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=search&b=2.41.91.31 I downloaded the first one.
The link you provided is showing 404 error.
"99 UNKNOWN usually indicates you are S-ON, sometimes other Security related issues."
"For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- You are S-ON? Then almost definetely this means the ZIP is not signed - get an unmodified zip!"
So... maybe try to go into download mode and flash that from SD card, but in my opinion it can be, because that zip can be somewhat modified
I saw link by MrHofs (previous, earlier, not current), and i see in name of that file "combined_signed" it means it can be flashed only when your phone is at S-OFF state... i think.

I see the combined signed and the signed indeed, i did offer somebody else here at xda some assistance and sent that user to gem flash too and he flashed a combined signed version to its S-ON unlocked device so i assumed this would be appropriate too now.........but then again assumption is the mother of all f ups........
In my humble opinion signed is signed, combined or not. So that would not be the issue here. I had another case lately where the absolute correct RUU didn't flash and up to today i still don't know why

I redownloaded and checked MD5 for both files. It is same. Can you please guide how to S-OFF
I understand. You are more experienced than me, so probably you are right.
But don't hurt trying:
https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=51635
Maybe this just signed file will be good...
EDIT: In order to be S-OFF you need working system, and sunshine app (and 25$ because S-OFF is paid feature), so it's AFAIK impossible for you at this time.
I am trying to figure out solution for this situation... if just signed file won't work.

Already gave a link to a working (custom) rom. Sunshine should work with it. If not we will find another stock like rom to enable sunshine.

Downloading rom. I hope this one works. I tried another custom OREO rom. It installed but same loop on boot logo. After i cant flash anything even cant restore backup using TWRP. (Backup used to restore fine earlier but loop on boot logo)
This device is getting worse and worse. I hope this Rom works. Lets see. Thanks for helping out. I will give feedback after flashing it.
