Root on Unlocked Version? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hello,
So I bought the HTC 10 directly from their store a few months ago, and have been considering to root it. The thing is that when I look up the Model Number on the HTC, it say "HTC 10" as well, no info. Is there a way to find it's actual MN if it's hidden (as I assume)?
Let me know if there's any other info needed. Thank you in advanced.

You'll need fastboot.
Reboot into download mode (hold volume down and restart the phone), and from your computer type
Fastboot getvar all
Your model number will be listed as MID.
Or, if you bought it from HTC directly and haven't modified anything you'll be able to tell by the software number in the phone's settings. It'll be something like 2.x.y.z. The three digit y number will be something like 617 (u.s unlocked, model ID 2PS65000) or 401 (wwe, model id 2PS62000), for example.
But you don't really need to know that to root. You just need to unlock your bootloader using HTCdev website and then follow instructions for root on xda.

I have the ADB files and fastboot together, but won't show up within the cmd window. Anynthing I'm doing wrong? OEM's unlocked and USB debugging's enabled

Honestly I'm not very good at troubleshooting adb issues. I would suggest you follow instructions on the HTCdev website for bootloader unlocking, they tell you how to install fastboot. Else there are tons of guides on xda or YouTube.
Also make sure you disable HTC Sync Manager on your pc, if you have it.

Is it necessary, or just an optional program in this case?

No you don't need it. Just make sure you have htc drivers. One way of doing that is, I believe, is to install htc sync manager but then remove it while keeping the drivers.

I successfully got the bootloader unlocked, installed latest TWRP, but upon installing the supersu the forums made to bypass dm_verity and the forceencrypt, it went into a bootloop.
There was a red message saying something among the lines of, "This is for developers only..." and whatnot, and simply kept looping.
Thankfully I made the backup, so I restored it. But I'm stuck at the SuperSU part.
If anyone knows why it is doing this, please let me know.
I should also point out, twrp was able to decrypt my phone's data when creating the backup, so not sure if this would mean I need to intentionally install an older TWRP, just so with that version, they fail decryption.

Sorry for bothering, got it working. Have Nougat, so I didn't knew I needed another different SuperSU

Only current issue I'm having is trying to set up Adaway, since it requests S-Off. (Which I'm concerned of, since idk if doing so and letting the app do it's thing would unencrypt the data) So wondering it it's wise to do so.

Why is Adaway asking for S-Off? Not even sure it should be able to see your s-on/s-off state. Root access is all that it should be requesting.
S-off with sunshine won't touch your data partition. But I wouldn't pay for S-Off just because Adaway is asking you to.

Oddly, it went and started working now, at first it requested to create something that required S-Off. Hmm, perhaps I must of tweaked something for it to no longer need that.
I have one more doubt, but I feel this one may be better to be done as a new thread instead.

Tried that before without result...also did a factory reset but to no avail. Phone was just over a year old when it happened, got it from my insurance policy so it's possibly a refurbished one. I can't remember doing anything to cause this...

Ok, enable USB debugging, plug the phone to the PC and then open a CMD ON the PC and type adb reboot-bootloader and once in bootloader type fastboot getvar all. You Need to post the INFOcidnum and INFOmain
How old is your phone? Isn't there still any warranty? If so you may try to contact your reseller, service provider or the manufacturer. If not glevitan may be your hero

Yes, from fastboot, plug the phone (You will see fastboot USB in red) type: fastboot getvar all
sounds like a boot loop?
try removing the battery, once you have done that re boot into boot loader from there you should see an option for recovery.you may want to do a full wipe and re flash the rom.:silly: keep in mind the initial flash normally will take the longest,best to leave it be for a few minutes while the phone adjust to the new settings,that sometimes will seem like you may have an issue, but patience most times is all that is needed.hope this helps.

rooted phone=flash capable non rooted =stock rom with no admin access. am i mistaken,if so slap me and call me susan,if not box that thing up and bring it back,and if that's not an option then warranty time.because that device is chap.

Well....
1- over a year old bought refurbished.
2- he never rooted. We could assume that it is s-off from the previous owner but all of us failed to ask that question making another assumption that he isn't s-off.
3- he did a factory reset which didn't work (whatever that means with an s-on device / with an s-off device it really messes things up).
4- glevitan is here. If he doesn't know how to fix it (and from the few active members that tend to lend a hand in these type of posts) there may be just a handful who could help out. Hence, the OP is in good hands.
5- when someone messes up their phone without knowing what happened nor how to fix it, you need to give more detailed instructions on how to get it done.
6- I'm guessing that the info glevitan asked for is to find the correct ruu for the member to flash and to get his phone back to working conditions. If that doesn't work, chances are it's a hardware problem.

Bullet point,impressive. now a refurb with s off would mean a root from a previous owner?
"S-ON, which means it blocks you from flashing radio images — the code that manages your data, Wi-Fi and GPS connections. Switching your phone to S-OFF lets you flash new radios. Rooting doesn’t require S-OFF, but many rooting tools will give you S-OFF in addition to root access" So hince my question if attempting to flash a rom ,it would be a safe bet he would be rooted,because without it he would have no admin access,recovery or superser access and would not be able to complete the flash process.a factory reset would normally on a stock rom not result in a loss of the entire stock rom but only a loss off data i.e contacts apps etc. and with these things in mind it would seem to be a safe to assume its a hardware issue or a rooted refurb phone from a previous owner in a bootloop becauce a factory reset there would wipe everything?

Factory reset resets the phone to it's "as fabricated"-condition, wich means it wipes user data and cache on the phone. With or without root the procedure is the same and should usally not affect /system or /boot.
So we have to find out, if the phone is S-On/S-Off (phosphen, more information on the topic can be read for example here, second post).

Sorry guys, but before hijacking this thread maybe you can go and follow the discussion in the off topic thread. The idea here is to lend a hand to someone that is stuck and a noob and this for certain not helping him. Let's keep it clean....
BTW, the only solution in his case is to flash the OEM RUU or make a goldcard and flash an unbranded rom. With no s-off there´s no other way.

[Q] HTC M8. Phone boots only in fastboot and I can't do anything (factory reset etc)

Hi guys. I have a problem with my M8 (international).
Start topic was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-boots-fastboot-factory-t2952954#post57042833 but I took an advice and open the same topic in general theme.
Hi everyone. I got a problem with my HTC M8.
First of all, I didn't make with it any changes (as unlock bootloader, root or installing any custom OS or recovery etc.) Week ago I left device, connected to PC for all night, and, I gess, with "bad" micro-USB cable.
Next day I couldn't boot this phone. I connected it to charger and after little time it was loaded to fastboot. But up today I can't do anything with phone: I can't unlock it, can't factory reset, can't boot to recovery etc...
I tried to find any same simptomes in google, but found nothing
As you can see on screenshots, I made steps for unlock bootloader but on device I didn't see notification about unlocking.

Could you help me with advices? Thanks.
I'm taking a bit of a guess but some how system has got wipe but that seems a bit off for a locked phone but since it's locked I would take it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it.

I would normally say the same. But the OP mentioned in another thread posted in the wrong forum section (linked in his post) that he bought from Canada but lives in Ukraine, so I think warranty is not valid. It would have been helpful for the OP to give all the relevant details in this new post.
I agree, it looks like his OS and possibly recovery have somehow become wiped, corrupted, or damaged. Not common for a stock device, but not unheard of, either.

Hi
I had a similar problem to you where I was stuck in fastboot mode and the only command it would execute was POWER DOWN and when switched back on it returned to fastboot mode. However I ended up in that state due to making a mistake in trying to unlock and root my phone. Also I believe my display showed the RADIO and OpenDSP details rather than the INVALID_VER_INFO that your's is showing.
I thought I had deleted the rom and recovery on my device and I had bricked my phone however I was able to recover my phone by getting a new unlocktoken from HTC and flashing it.
Once I had successfully unlocked my phone I had access to my rom and recovery.
I see from your first image that you tried to unlock your phone and it shows that 'unlock token check successful' but images 2 and 3 show that the phone is still 'LOCKED' so it may be worth going to the HTC site, get a new unlock token and try again.
If it doesn't work, it shouldn't do anymore harm either!
Best of luck.

Yes, I did this And in consol I saw that everything was fine, but on device I didn't see standart notification about unlocking.
A found some topics about "INVALID_VER_INFO" - and they said that it can be ok for some devices (guys checked this on their worked devices, booted to fastboot and saw the same).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715056 here is the topic about "INVALID...".
btw - I tried unlock phone after another man. He did the same - receive .bin from dev. HTC site etc. I did the same, but from another HTC dev. account and result was the same Phone didn't unlock.
It could be that the recovery has got messed up because I believe recovery is used to do it since unlocking will wipe data. The only things I can think of is a real ruu as in it full rom and firmware exe (good luck with that) or you could try just firmware ruu, riff box or HTC themselves.

For a ruu to work it needs to have matching cid, guess mid and has to be same version or higher than what's on the phone. You can't flash the wrong one it won't let you.
Edit, also the one you linked to won't work.

Ok. And Can I flash version with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, for example? (I said that there are a lot of recovery but they are custom. Is it ok for me or I should find pack with all stock?)

2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Okay. This will update your firmware. Backup anything important to you, because this will wipe your phone.

Not by itself, i dont think so anyways... I just followed a youtube vid on how to use the all-in-one-tool kit program... I figured less room for error risk?

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.
I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..

I do know that if you were to go S-Off, updating your firmware is a piece of cake. You just need to find the firmware.zip and flash it.

[Request] HTC 10 Japan (HTV32/pmeuhljapan) Backup/RUU/etc

Made a series of mistakes that led me to only have access to fastboot and recovery. It appears I'm capable of flashing things in fastboot. I can't access download mode at all (gives me an error saying it's unable to boot into download mode), which I believe you need in order to flash RUUs in the first place.
If anybody has a TWRP backup of system and boot that'd be awesome, but really need an img of download mode or a RUU or something to help me recover everything to normal. I am S-OFF and bootloader is unlocked.
Checked HTCdev and nothing was there for this device. All help appreciated.
How do you have fastboot when fastboot comands are done from download mode? Dont you have a stock system image that you made?
He means bootloader mode, the white screen. I think OP is SOL. That's why it's important to make backups, especially for exotic devices. I'm not sure if it's possible, but since he's s-off his best bet would be to convert to an unlocked or Verizon device if at all possible just to get the device working again and wait for either an ruu or backup.
If he is soffed he can flash an international ruu

How did you go with this, OP? I just got the HTV32 (HTC10) here in Japan, and unlike previous HTC's I have owned here (Desire, M7), there seems to be no RUUs for Japan anywhere (or am I not looking hard enough...). Website HTCsoku seems very short on info on this model, and the former repository for all things HTC in Japan for modders and tinkerers, 'Scottish Vinegar', has disappeared. Will be getting Sunshine then flashing TWRP and SuperSU soon, but I always like to have the option of stock images, etc., handy, just in case things go tits up.
I remembered the case of failure to entering Download Mode in M9 which solution is flashing the hosd image (extract from firmware), you can give it a try

Unfortunately was not able to get a hold of the stock RUU. I took my phone to my carrier and they gave me a new one free of charge despite the unlocked bootloader, S-OFF and TWRP being installed. Was just more careful on the replacement phone.
I actually am still looking for a stock RUU though.
Personally I made a TWRP backup before installing SuperSU. That way I can update with OTAs later on. (once we get an OTA we'll be able to pull the stock recovery img from it and update without issue).
Trying to convert this model to an international model was a terrible mistake. Au KDDI does not play well with these types of things. My Butterfly 3 is permanently SIM locked on AU's network for attempting the same thing (was trying to get Marshmallow at the time, which coincidentally is being released for the device next week).
I have been running Xposed and SuperSU with no issues at all though. If you get any "device encrypted" error after S-OFFing, just factory reset the data in TWRP.
Many domo's, DarkRazorZ!
I read that twrp-3.0.2-6-pme.img is the one to go for - that what you used?
Good you had no grief from HTC Japan. I actually sent back my M7 for the purple camera issue a few years back and did very little to disguise the fact it was unlocked and S-Offed. I think they are all fellow modders there and don't give a damn what we do. One reason why HTC is awesome.
I am now waiting for Nougat on the HTC10 (they (AU) just did a press release that it will be pushed soon), and as soon as that is on my phone, I shall be going the Sunshine route and installing aforementioned TWRP and so on. Getting fidgety, though... Xposed, Amplify, ad blocking... lemme at 'em.

Hey I was wondering if you could help me on how to get a replacement device, I ran into the same problem as you did. Thanks
Hello DarkRazorZ.
I'm curious about your attempt to convert HTV32 to international.
It couldn't be done because of hardware compatibility issue among HTV32 and international?
Or because of just your own mistake in the process?
Did you try a method like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/convert-htc-10-to-unlocked-t3384460
I'm in Japan and considering to buy HTV32, and I want to use it with international firmware.
I know this is your thread, but I can't find any information about this on web.
So could you share me your knowledge. Thanks.
the us unlocked version can be used on KDDI Au but the verizon radio has to be flashed for it to work and even then, you will only get 2g speeds.

HTC 10 EE Stock Recovery/Firmware

Hey Folks
I have a slight issue, I had a rooted HTC 10(UK EE) phone running firmware 1.80.91.1, which I wanted to update so I flashed a back-up from TWRP to restore OTA functionality, however, this backup was corrupted and the phone got stuck in a boot loop with no OS, hurrah!
I've sorted that however, by locating a TWRP backup of 1.21.91.4, which was the only one I could find for the CID EVE__001, this file was just a boot and sys.img no recovery, now I still can't get OTA updates as I'm getting the file system is corrupted error when trying to download the updates.
So I've hunted and hunted either to find a full back-up, recovery or RUU that will work with my CID as I'm S-on, I have had no luck, so I can no longer get updates for the phone.
So, does anyone have a stock recovery they could upload for either 1.21.91.4, or even better a full back-up of any of the x.xx.91.x firmware? I've been tearing my hair out trying to find anything above 1.21.91.4 and even that was just a partially back up.
Any help is muchly appreciated.
Hi, I am om EE uk but my CID is HTC__001.
I HAVE A FULL BACKUP DONE IN TWRP, WHICH YOU CAN HAVE. I WILL SORT IT OUT AND SEND YOU A LINK. DONT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT CID, BUT YOU CAN GIVE IT A GO.
GIVE ME A DAY OR SO.
Sorry to resurrect the thread, @si86 I've having trouble restoring radio signal on my HTC 10 after flashing an incorrect ROM, I'm on EE also- I'd really appreciate a copy of your TWRP backup to try on my handset if you are able to supply, would be very appreciated! I'm able to change the CID to match, having been through them all recently! My bootloader is unlocked and I'm S-Off. Thanks.
@Tuesg Were you able to rectify your situation?

I've just hunted high and low to try and figure out why nothing will flash successfully to my HTC 10.
turns out to be this same issue, I'm showing as CID - EVE_001 on an MID 2PS62000
Any chance you could send me that link as well so that I can at least try and get the phone back to a usable state instead of being stuck in either bootloader, download or recovery.
My phone is Bootloader unlocked, but still S-On as I hadn't got that far yet.
Will i need to flash a stock recovery? and lock the bootloader again to get this to install properly?
It's really proving tricky as hell.
I got caught out a bit here as I was half way to using sunshine to s_off, and then I accidentally triggered an OTA update to Nougat 7.0.......
It never restarted properly after that and i've been unable to get it back to 6 or any other ROM at all as they all fail.
I managed to fix it, but only by switching to s-off and installing the EU edition software, I'm a tad concerned now though as I've yet to get the roll out of the 7.0 update, not sure if that's because of installing a different firmware or whether it hasn't been rolled out yet.
@si86 Many thanks for your assistance and sharing the files, I was unable to fix my phone after trying various avenues (100+hrs) so I swallowed my pride and went the insurance route, not worth spending more time on getting to work and I now have a rather nice device, yet unusable call/texts wise to play with alongside my nice shiny new one running 2.41.91.3 - I've rooted and S-off with sunshine, just trying to decide whether i'm going to play with some more custom ROMS again! Of course I am!
@Tuesg Kudos on fixing your issue!

Along with superuser usually comes with an app for configuring it, depending on how it was rooted. SuperSU is usually the most common although I much prefer magisk.
It will be obvious what it's called, either superuser, SuperSU, etc. SuperSU contains within it the ability to fully unroot.
If there's no app, and if it is a stock rom, and not a custom one, a factory reset will remove it. If not, you will probably need to either do some adb commands to remove it, or remove it using the recovery.

In short terms, yes that might work for banking apps but it won't work for future Android updates. You need a completely stock (untouched) system and SU changes that even if you choose to unroot via the application.
hi when i i tried that super user unoot it goes to Twrp bootloader and nothing in there says unroot or uninstall twrp bootloader

I've had that issue with both Viper and Maximus. Removing root doesnt seem to totally remove it, and certain apps still pick up ... something.
Going back to total stock condition is a huge pain in the unmentionables. Because quite a lot of phones don't actually have an RUU for thier CID (for instance mine, H3G__001) has no RUU. So complete stock, even from TWRP backup was never an option for me. Even though ROOT wasnt an issue, things like OTA problems persisted no matter what.
I had to S-OFF (worth it in general tbh) in order to go back to a complete stock condition using the HTC WWE version (HTC__001). In the end I just decided to stick with the ROM I have now, LeeDroid. It has the option to be installed without root from the get go, but these days I just use Magisk. It is so simple to hide from banking apps and even things like pokemon go, that it doesnt do any harm having root there.

Hi there,
I'm in the exact same spot as the guy above. I restored the backup he mentioned, but don't have the Recovery. Therefore my phone is telling me I need to enter decryption password and won't boot past it.
Would you be able to give me that backup too?
Thanks.
