He was pretty clear, flash (Marshmallow) firmware first, then RUU.

i tried to take rom.zip from the ruu its ok or i have to download another firmware

ROM.zip is same as RUU zip. You need firmware.zip from inside ROM.zip. This is just a small zip that contains hboot, radio, recovery, kernel, and several other partitions, but does not contain the ROM/OS.
You can also get the firmware and RUU zips from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
If its the Sprint H/K version you have, the firmware number should be 6.20.654.3
Directions on flashing the firmware are on the linked thread.

How to upgrade to Oreo?

My bootloader is unlocked through HTCDev website, and I'm running Viper10 since over a year (build number 2.41.401.41).
I'm not sure how to upgrade to stock Oreo. Do I have to S-off the phone using sunshine?
Or is there another method to flash the stock Oreo on my WWE phone?
I tried to look around but couldn't find a step by step info on this matter, and I haven't been following up xda lately, so I kind of forgot how things work in the ROM flashing world of HTC.

Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip, put it in the root of your sd card and run from download mode.

Also make sure that your sd card is not formatted as an internal card. It should be formatted as a portable card, so that you can see the phone storage divided into internal & sd card.

You never get tired answering questions and helping people here mate. Hats off to you! Though I'm still in Nougat because I've been seeing quite a lot of complaints about the Oreo on HTC 10. At least I know now what to do if I want to upgrade my device.
Thank you! :highfive::good:

If i am correct you need to put the phone in RUU mode. Check it out, if you search for
"Fastboot oem RebootRUU"
It will come up with the correct info. I can't recall it 100%

Trying to update LeeDroid - Seriously confused - Can't find firmware

Hi all
Really stuck at the moment
My CID is HTC_001 and I'm on version 2.41.401.3? (S-ON)
I'm trying to flash the latest oreo firmware however I can't either find the correct RUU to do it, on top of that I'm trying the flash (I think the right file?_) via SD card however I don't have one and people are mentioned using a command prompt which confused me more.
Please help ! If you can provide links to the RUU or the correct file I'm meant to flash I'd appreciate it

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

If anyone wants to know what I did to get back to stock so I could download Oreo
Downloaded Fastboot/ADB(Use this guide) https://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Enabled USB debugging on the phone
Download HTC_Fastboot (Google it)
Download the Zip yldlj posted (Only if you are the same CID as me, the check this go onto the app store and find CID checker and then look on XDA for appropriate zip)
Put the download zip into the same folder as ADB/HTC_Fastboot/Fastboot folder. Rename it ota.zip
In the folder where you've extracted the ADB/Fastboot/ hold Ctrl Shift Right click open command window here
Connect your phone via USB
Set your phone onto download mode
From there I used the command htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once loaded into RUU Mode use the command htc_fastboot flash zip ota.zip
Once that was complete I was back to stock Android N which then enables me to update to Oreo
BANG
Fixed

1: you need the ruu that matches your main version OS which can be found in the download mode
2: if you are on leedroid oreo means you have a oreo firmware and in that case you can not "just" flash a nougat ruu. Check the guides section, there is a downgrade dedicated thread with all the needed information

Go S Off on nougat custom ROM with USB port not working

Hi. My USB C port recently died so I cannot upgrade firmware and get root/flash roms again as I cannot flash recovery without USB connection. As a solution I want to S Off my phone and use a no wipe RUU to switch to oreo firmware. So I wanted to ask:
1. Is it possible to use Sunshine on an AOSP Nougat rom on 2.41 WWE firmware?
2. If not then is it possible to go S Off on stock unrooted nougat (assuming I flash RUU) using sunshine app?
3. If not then If I restore an untouched Sense system backup through twrp would it be possible to use Sunshine to go S Off?
4. If I flash Oreo RUU is it possible to go S Off without obtaining root?
Thanks for answering.

So if I flash untouched Nougat system twrp backup and subsequently flash supersu I can do it? Or do ai need to flash stock boot img too? Is there any solution for me or am I screwed?

There is no such thing as a no wipe RUU. Why don't you share your official (download Mode) OS number, if there is an Oreo RUU.zip you don't even need s-off and saves you 25$.
And if you have a booting device you can always flash a recovery. Download the TWRP app or flashify from the store and the recovery you want and select it to flash. No need for USB connections to the phone.

Huh. But like if I flash a RUU zip I'd be on stock recovery and lose root which is required for flashify and twrp app. And to get root/flash twrp again I'd have to use fastboot which requires PC access. Or am I wrong? I'll reboot and give you the OS number. Thanks a lot for helping me btw.

Easiest way
Flash a stock like nougat rom like an old Maximus build. Then use sunshine.
Then you can flash firmware.zips with TWRP included, that rules out any USB connection.

You need the ruu that matches the OS line in download mode. Not all x.xx.118 ruu files will work. If you have a S-ON device that is. Check the number and post it here so we can have a look.

Of course it doesn't show an update, a custom rom never offers OTA updates and definetly no firmware updates.

you restore your OS to stock by flashing it, after that reboot and install the official htc OTA and you are on oreo.
i'm only giving you the most easy way to upgrade to oreo because that's what you want because you want to run LOS 15, these are all my experiences and i try to help. If you find another way easier and that way suits you more please be my guest.

flash it with fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.ZIP ? or rebootruu then flash? or it will show me the file?

ohh. you mean SD card not internal memory? that would be a problem :/ it doesnt do anything when its on internal memory. Also i tried to flash it as ruu but it didnt worked so im flushing each zip according to their number.. lets hope it will work becuase they do flash
