Verizon & HTC patched the current SunShine temproot with this update, however we have a downgrade path.
If you are on 1.85.605.9 you can downgrade to 1.85.605.8
If you need this RUU from @dottat - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862670562
To flash the RUU, two methods exist. This should not wipe data, but always backup your data just in case. Again back up your data.
Method 1: (preferred)
Rename the file 2PS6IMG.zip (it is .zip, not .zip.zip, check to see if your os hides the file extension).
place the file on a sdcard, put sdcard into the follow and reboot to download mode using adb (adb reboot download) and follow on screen directions
Method 2:
Reboot the phone into download mode with "adb reboot download"
Use htc_fastboot (not the google version of fastboot) reboot the phone to RUU mode "htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Then flash the zip
"htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG_PERFUME[email protected]60722.2_CNV_0.93_002_release_486126_signed_1.zip"
Thanks

Thanks man those files were what i needed. I also had something wrong either the name when flashing or the file was not in the right location. I added the .zip to the command and also moved the file into the fastboot folder not sure which one worked but i am currently "optimizing apps" and ill let you know what version it is when the phone finishes.
HA! you guys rock 1.85.605.8. Thanks to both of you sunshine passed when it used to fail. Thanks man for the help.
For some reason the advanced calling features no longer work every time I am on a call it drops to 1x
Edit:I swear I'm not a complete idiot but the advanced calling seems to work fine earlier today it was not working but I just checked in the exact same place and it is working now so I do not know exactly what was going on but it seems to be working now I'm going to S off when I get home. Thanks again for this downgrade
I currently need to send my HTC 10 in for repairs on the charging port/battery charging issues I'm having and I have a concern. I'm currently unlocked and S-OFF and if I RUU back to factory settings I will remain S-OFF regardless. When HTC gets my device they (I assume) will relock it and return it to S-ON status or shoot me a new/like new device. If they do return my device will I need to re purchase sunshine considering I sent my phone directly to u guys to have it S-OFF'd I'm just curious as to what my options will be. Thanks

Yep I've done everything I can think of to try to get my phone to start charging, got a new cord, used 5 different chargers, did the whole factory reset/RUU (that worked for about a day and I got it to charge to 84%, held down vol+ and - and power for 2 mins nothing is working

I also have lots of battery charging issues. Mine will not charge unless I reboot while plugged in. Tried multiple chargers, cables, Roms, full whipes, formatted data, stock rom, ruu, everything. Just when I get frustrated enough to do something if starts charging again.
Quick and yes maybe for sure "noobish" question.. Feb 17th VZW is disconnecting this line. (unlimited data plan) and my htc 10 is only 17% paid off. Obviously the first thing I did when I got this phone as well as my M8 was you sunshine. (unlocked/s-off) Now for noobish sake does this mean VZW cannot possibly anyway block my phone or IMEI or Blacklist so I would be unable to stick another carrier SIM card in and use my device with them? You know, bring your own device, byod? I never thought I'd be in this situation but I'm kind of freaking out so thanks for your understanding, thank you..

I put it in these words because when I add up to the HTC 10 nothing at all was ever mentioned about ganking my account and leaving me with an unpaid device that I could not use unless I surrender to them and use the limited g*y data plans. So I just figured if they wanted to be bullies it would be pretty sweet for me if they try to lock my phone or Blacklist it and they couldn't. Thanks again

They can't do that to your device, it would be illegal. You can bring it to any carrier also. Sticking to stock Verizon rom will get you a pop up saying sim is not from Verizon but everything should function.
You could really stick it to them and fully convert your phone to us unlocked after you switch and no more sim pop up and completely Verizon-less system/firmware, that's probably way to go anyways if switch carriers

Cool, thank you for the confirmation. Tomorrow I am speaking with Stephanie B. A supposed VZW executive. I only average to 241 gigabytes a month, I was never made aware of a 200 gigabyte cap so I'm going to see what I can do about keeping it open but I also have a second line that is also unlimited data which they don't care about at this time because it doesn't come close to 200 gigabytes a month so I think I might have some wiggle room but I don't know. I just wanted to express to her my main concern is the fact I was never made aware about what happened over 200 gigabyte cap and also we as their customers we're never given a questionnaire or survey as far as the 1% of their customers who have unlimited data goes what should happen to us as far as going over 200 gigabytes is concerned. I doubt anything will happen that's not going to already but I'll let you know if I get to keep my line. Thanks again

I just got mine back. Took to Verizon a complete brick. I've only had 4 months. Finally got the new one in mail
About to downgrade and use sunshine and yes it has to be paid for again. Geesh these 10's are much more fragile than my old m8 . First device I've ever bricked. Now I didn't have to pay anything for replacement to be sent. I know people personally there though
Good luck and happy flashing
10
Just wanted to say thanks for this. Got my replacement in the mail after a brick. Immediately before reading the latest ota blocked sunshine from working. I took ota and set up device. Searched & downloaded your linked file : renamed and moved to SD card. Here is where it got strange. Battery over 50% mind u. Ran first time failed near the end. Left device useless. Tried to run again after booting back to download mode. Failed again. Only to boot device into white HTC screen. Well after about an hour of trying to figure out a way out the hole I've dug again, because PC will not recognize phone like this. And I could not fastboot said file. Anyhow after about another hour I tried again. And finally the same thing loaded everything properly and finished without an error. So successfully downgraded firmware so I could run ☀ . Ran sunshine and am s-off,now.and all is well. Any understanding why it would fail twice then work. Same method.?

Ok guys, yes...I'm a noob...
I did a master reset on the phone and now I get nothing...
It won't turn on unless I plug it in to the charger.
When it does turn on, all I get is a few vibrations, and
the icons at the bottom light up.
I can get windows to see the two "drives" of the phone,
but they are empty (have 0 bytes if you right click and check properties. If you left click, it says please insert disc).
I've tried a new battery and my battery turns another phone on...
I've also tried two cables and two PCs.
It hasn't been rooted or messed with, the battery died and I went to charge
it and nothing...I left it on charge overnight and at least see a bit life.
Any ideas, or should I just send it on to HTC??
So that others have a better idea... can you get into hboot or fastboot?
try a nwe battery

he said he already tried a new charged battery, so it can't be that. I'm thinking his phone's OS might be gone so he should probably installed a RUU or something.

Can't see anything come up on screen...
no idea what mode it's in, hboot, fastboot or anything ??!?!!
Think it might be possible to install just a stock (Tmobile) RUU?? If so, how ?????

There isn't a way if your phone isn't detected or you can't get into hboot. Meaning you have no control over your phone to do anything.
Anyways, for htc warranty exchanges that is done with tmobile... they usually send you the phone first and then you send one back in return. Unless your policy is different. So i suggest you calling them immediately.
Update
I can go into control panel and "see" the phone listed in device manager under portable devices as "F" and "G". Click properties and they are found as HTC devices. Does this mean I can do anything to it? I just want my phone back working as fast as I can. Sending it in will take a while. I bought this phone for the camera. We have a 1 yr old and don't wanna miss the Christmas pics...

are you on tmobile? they usually send within 2 days, their distribution center is in texas or something. I usually get it next day.
You said your screen doesn't turn on or doesn't show anything. It's gonna be hard to determine what you're doing even if you can run ADB to put it in oem fastboot and to flash a RUU that way. But it sounds like your display might be a problem too then. It'll be quicker to do an exchange. If you call in today, they'll probably ship it on monday and you'll get it wednesday latest. unless you have tmobile insurance plan. it should be next day and you'll get it tuesday.
Thanks
Well that might work for me then...can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks a bunch for letting me know !!!
No problem, I had my fair share dealing with tmobile exchanges lol.
If you purchased directly from tmobile it should be very easy to do an exchange because your warranty is verified.
If you bought it off craigslist/ebay. sometimes the previous users used a different carriers that makes the warranty no longer verified. HOWEVER many customer reps will still try to process the exchange (you can determine by their upbeat personalities lol).
If you run into someone who won't do it, just call again and talk to another rep. Most of the time they will push it through because it's still a newly released phone.
Have you already contacted T-Mobile support? You'll have to talk to them anyway before they agree to replace your phone.
The reason I am asking this is because there might be an unpublished backdoor way to restore your device if your device is not completely (hardware-wise) dead. For example, Dell Streak has a complete firmware image on its internal SD card and you needed to somehow trigger an IPL routine to restore the device to its original condition.
I haven't heard of anything similar on HTC devices yet, but hey, it's just a thought. And if there actually is a way, and you are the first one to post it here, you'll be a hero!

yeah we normally just flash a RUU, but you can't even see the screen, so we can't even be certain that we're in the correct modes to be flashing and stuff. because we require to ADB it to restart in fastboot, but we can't even see if its going to fastboot. or if it already is in fastboot to begin with, so we're not certain which commands to run with the screen being off. Well you can always try commands and it should only work in certain modes, but do you really want to do it blindly? I would rather just exchange the thing.
Not afraid to try....
Well, I can't use it as it is...exchange is a hassle even in 2-3 days. Can't do anything until tomorrow anyway. I was thinking today, I've heard they can port Android to iPhone...there's no fastboot there, is there ??? Soooooo, if it's turning on, I should be able to do something...I want my phone back !!!

Flashing green light ???
It is now turning on and has a flashing green light, does that mean anything??
So, long story short, took the Phone into Sprint so they could look at my headphone jack (was cracked and left ear bud would constantly cut in and out) because its acting up.
Gave the Tech the phone without the battery in it (since he didn’t need to power up the device to clearly see the headphone jack has a huge crack in it) but I left my SD card installed. As he was walking away, I asked him if I could remove my SD card and he let me, then seen that I gave him the phone without a battery. So, I ended up giving it to him (praying he didn’t turn it on and see ViperBoys sick ass ROM booting up) and he accidently pressed the power button turning the phone on. Promptly short after, he removed the battery when the phone was on the HTC screen, didn’t even get the boot animation. I was like OHH $h!t, that gonna mess up my phone & sure as $h!t, it did… Just loops in and out of that screen resetting each time with a little vibrate then looping.
I can get into Fastboot and use ADB, I’ve flashed RUU’s, put Stock image on root of SD and let recovery restore (losing my CWM & my HBOOT 1.400), unlocked, relocked, wiped, thrown, and screamed at it with no luck.
I did do a CWM backup before even setting foot in the Store, so I do have a backup. The 1st thing I tried was restoring it through CWM recovery and that didn’t stop the looping. I can still get into fastboot via power + vol down and adb functionality is still there.
HBOOT is 1.50 and s-on is enabled..
Been reading through threads since lunch and tried many different solutions without success. It seems once a phone is this far gone, people stop responding.
Anyone have any ideas?
New phone will be here tomorrow (free of coarse courtesy of Sprint insurance) but I’ve been without a phone all day and most of yesterday. I’d like to get this one back to stock and booting before I trade it in for the replacement tomorrow
So you ran an RUU and it still didnt work? And you're sure the RUU SUCCESSFULLY ran without any parts of it failing right?
If that's true, there's no hope AFAIK. Try to get it not to show the bootanimation by bricking it further.

Yup, RUU ran though fine and finished without error. Thing has been rooted since Revolutionary came out with the 1st rooting scheme for the 3D.. Flashed tons of ROM's never had this problem.

My only explanation is that while he removed the battery some of your hardware got borked. This can't possibly be a software issue.

BUMMER! In case the question comes up I ran "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed" and it ran just fine.
Hmm, hardware issue. Dont see how I can check for that if it doesnt boot.
Guess I'll just have to wait for the new Phone
try to fastboot oem lock it from fastboot. Then RUU, see if that works.
Why even get this one to work if you are getting a replacement?
Sprint is just going to put the phone back to stock....

The HTC unlock went as expected. Followed the directions to the "T", then relocked, checked in fastboot (not that I could check anywhere else, LOL) and the phone says "*** RELOCKED***". Ran 2.17.651.5 RUU successfully to the finish. Still looping

Not to mention... But in Linux, I never got revo recovery to flash... You can do it in windows just do it via fastboot.
Took my Orig cwm bsckup "recovery" & "boot" .img and threw them @ the phone via command prompt.
After cwm was restored, I restored my 4\29\2012 backup that I made before I entered the Sprint store, now my phone is back to the exact same way
It was. Pretty Damn sweet!

Hi Everyone,
This is my wife's phone, so i'm not very familar with it. She handed it to me today saying to won't boot. If connected to a charger, the screen would come on saying "RDS protocol starting..." and "Battery too low to flash".
After doing a little research her, I asked her if it had asked to do an update. She said yes, but that she's been hitting "no". So i guess it's been asking her for a while. I'm assuming she either hit yes, or it went ahead and did a force install anyway.
I took it to Sprint and they told me there was nothing they could do but replace it, which they have ordered the replacement, but that they cannot recovery anything from the internal memory (pictures, contacts, etc). So all I need to do is get the phone working enough to get data off of it, if at all possible.
The phone has NEVER been rooted. The bootloader is NOT unlocked. She's never let me touch it before.
I have no idea what version it was on (think it was 2.3.4) nor what version the OTA was trying to install.
I recharged the battery a little using a usb cable with the end cutoff and attached the red/black wires to the +/- pins. (about 30 mins or so). The "Battery too low to flash' message is gone and the phone is recognized in RDS Lite (good sign I hope).
Can I just flash "1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.zip" to it using RDS Lite? Or should I use a later version like 198_7? I downloaded the 154_5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20331570&postcount=3)
I eagerly await a helping hand.
Thanks,
EB

Contacts are synced to googles servers, so that's not a problem. As far as pictures, were they on the sd card or internal phone storage? If on sdcard, just put the card in a card reader on a laptop or pc. Or you may be able to install bootstrap recovery and mount either internal or sdcard. Or, if you were on 2.3.4, flashing any of those sbfs will work.
You can block the update by changing a line in the buildprop. But that would require being rooted. Id sbf then do the update immediately after since she obviously doesn't care about root or unlock.
Thanks.. I'm sure the pictures are on the internal sdcard. It's the pictures taken by the camera over the past few months. I already have older ones copied to my PC.
peetr_ sent me a custom sbf for an unlocked bootloader + twrp. I'll try that when I get home to see if i can get into that way. (Thanks peetr_)
I'll keep everyone posted.
What line in the build.prop file do I change?

Can't remember ill try to find out for ya.
HUGE thanks to peetr_ for all the help he gave me. I managed to get it booted into Electrify and saved everything I needed. *whew*
I now believe the whole issue was not a failed update, but a sticky volume button that's causing it to go to RSD mode. Whenever I power it down, then backup, it always goes direct to RSD mode. But then I can pull the battery, put it back in.. then hit the non-volume side of the phone against the heel of my hand (fairly hard) 5 or 6 times, then power it on, and it boots normally. Then while it's running, I'll see the volumne adjust up and down randomly.
Then if i reboot it, it's back to the RSD mode.
It doesn't work every time, but I've managed to boot it several times like that.
I did do a quick search, but didn't find anything
I'm s-on running ViperRez 1.0.3 I put that on after the global RUU screwed everything up horribly. I was still having issues with overheating, but the guy at the Verizon store said they weren't exchanging any rezounds because they were still working out bugs. So, I decided to wait until it was cooler out to see if I was still having the issues, and they've only been getting worse. Anyhow, I want to take it back to as stock as I can to try exchanging it. I'm just really afraid of bricking it, since after a post on another forum about the issues I've been having.
Can someone give me the right steps, in order; or even be willing to walk me through it? When I flashed ViperRez, I had somebody from here help me out on google talk, that was really helpful.
Thanx,
Justin

All you need to do is download the last factory ruu from android police or this site and run it like you did the global.
Here is the link to the official

Guess, I am not sure if you ran the Ruu successfully.. download file from previous post . Place on your Sd card. Make sure you relock phone if unlocked, if you HTC dev unlocked you should know how to relock.
Rename file on Sd card to PH98IMG.zip, just delete the androidpolice heading is the easiest. Boot to bootloader and press power button, it will start parsing the Ruu and ask if you want to update.
Press volume up to say yes ,then let it run. It will take awhile and run twice. It should then reboot and your back to factory
Just thought of something...if you did upgrade to the global Ruu..can't downgrade unless S-off...

Thank you for that link. I thought I read somewhere about making sure to relock the bootloader or the phone will brick.

Won't brick it just won't run the Ruu, hope it works for you !

This may be kind of pathetic, but I've been racking my brain, and can not remember how to relock it. I'll have to search around.
My phone isn't charged enough to try it right now anyway. Needed to use it to record a school project for my wife. I plugged it in, turned on the camcorder and after about 2 hours, it went from being fully charged to 19% Awesome!!

First off bro.. you won't be able to brick that phone s-off. I assume its possible but I haven't heard of it happening. So don't worry about that.
The command for relocking is
fastboot oem lock
Granted.. you must have the android SDK installed and have a basic understanding of fastboot

I think I messed up somewhere along the line. Who wants to save me. I assumed the link provided a few posts back was the same file as what I had already downloaded sometime back. Which I have saved on my computer in a folder I labeled .2 RUU so...
I copied that to the sd card
relocked the bootloader
let it do it's thing
hit <VOL UP> to start the update
It went through everything and booted to the bootloader again, so I'm trying the update one more time.
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: Just had to flash it a couple of times

Pull battery and then put it back in and see if it boots, otherwise use the link I provided and run that Ruu . No reason that a proper Ruu shouldn't run .

Felt like updating this...
Got it back to stock, went to Verizon, got a replacement phone shipped out. That phone got here today, still having all the old problems, plus more. The really awesome thing is, the screen isn't even solid on this one. It's raised on all sides and I can press it down, slowly comes back up over about 2 minutes. Going to Verizon again tomorrow to see what to do this time. I haven't shipped my old one back yet, as it just came in today.
Did they send you a new battery with the phone?
Have you rooted the replacement yet?

Had the screen lift issue on my first replacement. My second replacement was better...the screen wasn't lifting, but it wasn't solid feeling either. The USB port on that one died, and on this one, the screen is great.
No battery, they said to come back in if I'm still having the heat issues. Haven't rooted the new one yet, as I'm wanting to get it replaced because of the screen issue.
My htc one m8 is unable to send and receive MMS messages. I've been on the phone with tech support since this morning. I'm going to take the phone back and possibly sway it out for another one. I had unlocked the boot-loader and I had rooted the device.
Since im returning it I relocked the boot-loader but its still showing
***TAMPERED*** and ***RELOCKED*** on the boot-loader screen.
Three questions.
How do i unroot it?
Do i need to flash the a ruu file to get it back to normal? if so where can i find it.
Dude... There it's no ruu yet. The phone just launched. We me than likely won't get one until well after your return exchange period expires. I'min a similar boat as my computer refuses to fully flash twrp to mine and now I can't boot into recovery at all. I'll probably needtowait for an ruu as well. Good luck, hope you can just get the issue resolved because exvhangingwould be a bad idea with your device in its current state. Have you tried getting a new SIM card for your device? I actually work for att and more often than not a new SIM will fix a data/mms issue.
We tried a lot of trouble shooting. Its definitely the phone. I took the sim out the phone and popped it into my nexus 5 and I was able to send and receive MMS without an issue.
Im new to HTC and if i knew they were so high maintenance I would of never gotten it. lol
maybe if i can find the stock recovery i can reflash that and that should take care of the tampered snitch and ill just take it back with the relocked showing
generally they're not terribly high maintenance, but anything compared to a nexus is high lol. Also, had you gotten the developer version it wouldn't be high maintenance either. The maintenance comes from the carrier lock and having to bypass it. not trying to flame, but if you didn't purchase the dev edition or the GPe version then you bear the risk. Then either way, htc states that by unlocking you waive your right to your warranty. Again, not being a jerk or trying to be mean, but next time I would take at least a few hours to test basic functions before jumping into it. If you already had and it was working fine before, something must have went wrong during the unlock/root process. Either way, let's just hope an RUU drops before your R/E runs out. You'll still have your warranty but we all know the potential risks of getting a "like-new replacement".
p.s. i would still try a new sim. over time heat can wear away the laminated coating on the sim where it touches the contacts on the inside of the phone. It's an outside shot and might not help at all but it would definitely be a more feasible option to try at the moment.
i found this hope it helps.
AT&T HTC One M8 unroot utilizing SuperSU or TWRP recovery
This is the first method that you can try using SuperSU.
Open Play store to see if there is a new update for SuperSU, to make sure you are running the most recent version.
Run it from app drawer.
Go to the Settings section above, scroll down the hit Full unroot option. You’ll see a warning message, just tap continues to start the uninstall process.
Once done, the phone will reboot. Your phone should unrooted now after boots up.
at&t htc one m8 unroot
Image: HTC / AT&T
If the above method does not work to unroot AT&T HTC One M8, we are going to tell you how doing it manually.
Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk.
Thanks for the awesome reply. I followed the info you posted and it worked!

So does that get rid of the tampered flag? Did you find any way to reset the "relocked" to locked?
Need to exchange mine also.

I'm having problems sending MMS messages as well, but my phone is completely stock. Did you make any progress in diagnosing the problem?
Thanks

Yep that's been around for a while now. I've used these instructions on my AT&T m8 and got the tampered thing removed.

Mine was giving me this issue As well. Do a hard reset or check your apn settings. Mine started working after I did that
