[Q] Wondering...

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.

I see. Well for RUU,can i get one with higher version than my phone version-main? Also i just got model id error 130 on ruu installation with only last number differing.

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?

Need ROM for HTC M9. Just want to upgrade to Android 7

I already have the mobile fully working perfectly but i want to upgrade to Android 7 and my current android version (Lollipop 5.1 -Sense 7) does not receive OTA updates so id like to install a new version of it so i can get them. Already tried to install the new Android 7 via the RUU (.exe) but i always got a non compatibility error.
It would be awesome if someone could redirect me to get immediately the Android 7 otherwise getting Android 6 which could receive updates after flashing it would be great too.
here are the fastboot getvar all results of my phone.

Your MID is wrong, if you want to use the Android 7(I suppose you are talking about Dev-Edition ruu) RUU.exe it should be mid: 0PJA11000

I downloaded and tried this one from the HTC website
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9/news/
In my case based on the link to direct me it means i have to change my mid right? Any safe source how to do that?
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
EDIT: I mean try again the RUU.exe method

Lineage & Rooted HTC 10 - Cellular/LTE Radio broken

Hi All,
Here's hoping someone can help as I've made no progress in solving this issue in the past few hours.
So some background, I've installed TWRP on my HTC and have been using Lineage OS. I unlocked the bootloader via HTC dev, it is still S-ON. All has been well until recently when I decided I'd like to try out the stock rom again - mostly I wanted the HTC camera features back. So I downloaded the TWRP backup for my phone from XDA (CID: HTC_039). I run the restore via TWRP but it will not boot, so I followed the rest of the guide and flashed the stock recovery then relocked the bootloader. But to no avail... now it's in a very quick boot loop.... Managed to get out of it and unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP once more.
So at this point I'm happy to return to Lineage with the backup I made before starting. But after restoring my pin doesn't work... so I followed another guide and deleted some files in TWRP which solved it. But I can't get any signal now. Apparently this is an encryption issue. I've also tried 'format data' in TWRP which apparently removes encryption. But following this installing lineage OS from zip or restoring stock or lineage results in the same error.
I'm just about at my wits end... I'd be super grateful for any input
Thankyou

Hope fully not to soon to *bump*
I have no idea what to do, surely someone know more about this than I do?

You can go by your software version. Do
fastboot getvar all
from download mode and you'll know what yours is. You can only flash a version that's same or higher than your current one.

No worries, Thanks for your help! I might try viper rom and see If I can run sunshine on that...
Hopefully not screwed, hardware should all still be fine in any case. Hopefully someone else can chime in with some ideas??

Happy days!!
Installing Team Venoms Viper ROM Fixed it. Good ROM too. It also remained working when Lineage OS was installed again.
It seemed to reenable encryption - I'm being prompted once more to enter my password in TWRP
Hopefully this helps anyone who might find themselves in the same situation

HTC M10h Questions. Need Help.

Greetings to you all. Can someone please give me the best advice what is the best thing to do with my unit now. I only want to install and enjoy custom roms and kernel on my phone but I don't have a regular HTC 10.
Mine is m10h. It won't even allow me update to Nougat.
I just got it today from online selling.
My questions about this unit.
1. What is the difference of this model to regular HTC 10.?
2. Can I go ahead to usual way of unlocking bootloader, flash recovery and flash the custom roms I like ex. Leedroid, Viper, RR, Lineage.? Or I need to flash convert the firmware first or flash RUU.
I attached the system information of my phone on bootloader.
I'd appreciate any help. Please post links which you think will be helpful for me. Thank you.

What makes you think it's not "regular"?
It's just a WWE HTC 10 (pme_uhl) from Taiwan region.
Nothing different about it, that I can see.
Should be no problem to unlock it and flash custom roms for the HTC 10.

Hey @santod040. Thanks for paying attention to my concern. I've used your roms before on my M7. Haha.
I was also surprised to know about this model. Thought all HTC 10 are the same. When I check About Phone - Phone Identity says HTC_M10h.
I will unlock the bootloader now. But my I'm thinking with my current firmware if I'll be able to flash any roms here without facing any issues. Because it's stuck to Android MM. Won't let me update to Nougat.
Do I need to update the firmware first? Before flashing custom roms or my current firmware will be fine. Please advise.

I would first update to Nougat firmware for your variant, either by stand alone firmware zip or full RUU.
RUU you should be looking for:

Yes. That's exactly what I need to hear. Can you please post a link here on the file and instructions how to update my firmware. Please. My phone totally on stock right now. I'm sorry if I'm too much already to ask you for all this.

Try this link: RUU
Download file
Rename to: 2PS6IMG.zip
Place in root of External Storage(SD Card)
Boot to Download Mode
Press volume+ up to proceed with flash
"should" update your device to Nougat and WILL wipe it as well.
So be sure to save anything that may be important to you (photos, etc) if that applies yet.
After the above process, you should be able to flash TWRP, followed by any current custom roms for HTC 10.

I've already provided the link for that; and also instructions; in the other thread you were posting in.

I guess its time to interrupt your conversation.
I'm having 2.41.401.41 pmeuhl. After some battery drain issues on venom rom, i did a nandroid restore to stock rom. But still i'm facing battery drain issues. There is one 2.41.401.41 link https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297in this thread.
But it failed with an error- HEADER_ERROR while doing the sdcard method.
Now i think i need the asian version since this phone is from UAE. so is there an asian version of 2.41.401.41 ??

Awesome! I have more confidence now to do this step because of your help guys..
So after I have updated to latest Nougat / flash RUU. I will then proceed to unlocking bootloader, flash recovery then roms etc. Am I correct?
And please take note that my phone is not S-OFF. The steps are still safe with S-On right?
Thank you very much for taking your time to help me out. :good:

Can you tell me the correct RUU Zip file for my version??

No idea what you have or what you've changed on it....
How about posting the output of:
fastboot getvar all
Then we can go from there.

Figured it out. My SD card was corrupted. Used another SD and worked like charm

I've got the exact same phone (m10H) that I'm trying to work with, but in my case I'm trying to get it to work with Verizon. I'm hearing a lot of conflicting information, about installing radios, or using DFS to enable bands, to it being hardware locked from being on Verizon. I'm at wit's end trying to get this to work! Here's my Getvar All
(bootloader) kernel: lk

So how do I get Verizon on this thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Verizon RUU
Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick reply! I took your advice and downloaded the Verizon RUU found here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258324 , which is DOTTAT_VZW10_1.19.605.9_s_on.exe . The problem is, the phone gets stuck on "Preparing your phone" during the initialization phase of startup. This is where I always get stuck. Here's my GetVar All

How can I proceed?

It should be noted that this is the gold international one, I think. Model number 2PS6200. I think the bands aren't enabled by default, but is it possible to add them in with something like CDMA tools? I can't seem to find an answer online. Unfortunately I'm stuck with this phone one way or another, so if there's a way to make this work I'm all ears.

Unable to update my HTC10 device which is on 2.42.651.66 running on 7.0 Nougat

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.
I tried going to SETTINGS-SYSTEM UPDATES-HTC SOFTWARE UPDATE
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.

That is weird i have unlocked OS with software number 2.41.401.41 and it is the latest update for MENA and EU, how did you update your phone ?

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
