Well, I posted this start and never got any further. The M9 turned out to be a disappointment to me. And I am leaving this verbiage... just because. And I am changing/revising the whole rest of this page to be covering my new HTC M10. Like my ReZound page(s), I am collecting info from all over. Plans are to get it organized eventually -but- it didn't happen with the Rez so I doubt that it will happen with my M10.

Now then, I am calling this an HTC M10 because I think it sounds better than just an HTC 10. You will find, embeded in the phone itself, it is called an "HTC One M10"... by the manufacturer themselves. So, mocks nicks....  ro.product.name=HTCOneM10vzw

Verizon's branded phones continue to have locked bootloaders. I just moved from an HTC ReZound to this HTC M10. At first grins I'm not so sure that it was a good move. I've had the Rez for almost 5 years -and- it feels better in my hand. But we shall see. I will have to go through the UN-locking process and S-Off and rooting again.
UpDate:(July 11th, 2016) I have been using the new phone for a while and now it feels better than the old one. Like always, it just takes some time.

Well, I have had this for almost 2 months. Decided to write up something about the Accessories before I forget and they are no longer available. I'll need to check on popularity... or not... of this phone. As I have mentioned elsewhere, it doesn't appear to be all that popular. The initial reviews were good, like my ReZound, but like my Rez, I don't hear much about it now. Six months, plus or minus, is about all that my Rez got.

Verizon OEM Shell Holster Combo for HTC M10

• Provides the ultimate in protection for your phone plus easy portability
• Rubberized shell guards your phone against damage; use the clip to attach your phone and go
• Kickstand in the back folds out for handsfree viewing

IF you haven't discovered it yet, 'mouse over' the image it will show a bigger picture of the case. Well, I changed it to a click. I don't like things jumping out at me as I am perusing a Web Page and I don't believe that most viewers do either. Click on the image to see the bigger one. A mouseout will reduce it back. (yeah, just learned how to do this)

I had essentially the same case for my ReZound. I liked the look and feel -and- the 'kickstand' on the back. It also gives it a little more weight and 'heft'. I don't like those credit card feeling phones. Got this case when I got the phone. Don't use the holster but I like the shell. For carrying purposes, I am usng the same Leather Pouch that I used for my ReZ.

 TechRadar Review     Amazon  

 September 2016  I have been playing with this to get some software installed and to get it Re-rooted after an OTA UpDate. Had to take it out of the case a couple of times in order to access the SD-card. This thing is to thin and slippery out of the case. Didn't realize that cause... I got the phone and case at the same time. I've read 'other' reviews and they claim that my HTC M10 is to thick!! Everyone to their own... I guess.

Yeah, I repeat myself a lot.

Well, my case broke. The small thin area on the side by the switches cracked and then finally broke off. I liked the case but never did like the way the switches were activated. Seems like they had them buried. This new case does NOT have cutouts for the switches. It has what I call switch extentions for the push button switches. Hopefully they will work better. I had to order them through Amazon cause Verizon didn't have anything. Like my Rez, the 10 is forgotten.

• Perfect manufacturing process, perfectly fits the HTC 10.
• Hybrid Dual Layer Armor:
  TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) rubberized inner case + Hard PC (polycarbonate) outer shell cover.
• The dual layer design provides more protection with a fashion look.
• Protects your phone from dust, dirt, scratches & damages.
• Unique design allows easy access to all buttons, controls and ports.
• ... Click on image to see larger view.

Well, not all that happy with the KUMIHO case... and I am not sure why, other than the fact it just didn't "feel" right. I think the "Button Extentions" are a good idea -but- I have to get used to them. So I ordered this one today. It also has "Button Extentions" so we will get to compare them and see which one is the best. I liked the look and feel of the original one I got, the

 January 5th, 2018  Well, we received it today and put it on the phone. One of its features that I was excited about may not last. The "C" port and the 3.5mm Jack covers are attached via a strip of material that has to bend out when you use the port. It has been my experience with these "bendable" covers that they don't hold up long. We shall see on these. Other than that it is a very nice and stylish case.

This thing is so easy on the battery that I just had to make a section of its own. Because I am a realatively low user my battery seems to last forever in comparison to my last phone, the HTC ReZound. It seems like I always had to have a battery charger available for it. In fact when I took it off my belt I would automatically hook it up to the charger... which I have since learned that, that was probably bad. You can "overcharge" these Li-ion batteries. And after more research ... it is a maybe and a maybe not. So, do what you want.

 November 27, 2019   Went to  uBreakiFix   today to get my battery replaced. I have seen  YouTube videos  on HTC M10 battery replacements. I do NOT want to face that task. Naturally they did not have one for an HTC M10. So, one was ordered and it will take till next week to get here. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. The battery has been getting low and, according to  AccuBattery   is down to 70% of its designed value. But as I was using it today, and tried to take a picture, my phone crashed! The battery usage for this charge was down to around 50%. I presume that is 50% of 70% which is low. I also had my  Pacer   app going to track my walk with my Dakotah.

Also please notice that my phone had 72% capacity in March and now it is 70%. I think that can verify that  Greenify , which was mentioned and installed in March, does work good.

 December 3rd, 2019  Picked up phone, with new battery, from  uBreakiFix   and it works great. Feel like I got a new phone. Highly recomend the place.

 May 16th, 2020  Well now, I will still recomend them -but- not so sure of the battery quality. I use  AccuBattery , and I have never seen 100% or anything even close to it with this replacement battery. Even from the beginning it was reading 67% in the Health section. I think over the time I have had it I have seen 70% once. It is, as of this date, registering 69%. Less than 6 months.... Not having any serious problems... yet... but I do believe I am having to charge my battery more than I should. OR I am using the phone more than I used to. I was a lite user in the beginning. Just talked with them and they will replace a battery that I provide for $50. When they did the replacement last time, they provided the battery. He also said that IF my battery is lasting for 5-6 hours it is good.

 March 21, 2019   Like all my WebPages, we have an injection at a later date. Almost 3 years have passeed and I still have my HTC M10. Course I had my ReZ almost 5 years. And during that time I went through a number of batteries. Didn't keep count but I do believe that it was arounf 3. -But- the battery in the ReZ was removable!! In my M10 it is NOT!!

Now what brings this subject up?? Well, according to  AccuBattery  , my NON-removable battery is down to 72%. So I am looking for ways to prolong the life of my battery even further. I really don't look forward to the prospect of replacing this NON-removable battery. I have watched YouTube videos on it and it doesn't look like fun. Unless you are young and adventuresome. So, I looked for a way. In actuality, I was, like always, looking for something else. What I found was  Greenify .

 Greenify   is a task hibernator. It is not a task killer. The app works to identify other apps that drain a significant chunk of your battery and then limits the time they can run in the background by putting them in a hibernation-like state, which leads to improved battery life and slightly smoother performance.
Refer:  Best App Killers   and  How to Use  

Now then, I just found and installed this app. So, as far as to how well it will work..?? That will be another out of sequence injection in the future IF I remember.

 January 2nd, 2017/6:19pm  I needed to charge my phone. So, I already had my USB-C cable plugged into my 'puter and decided to see what it would register. I have the avast! Battery Saver installed and I use it to both monitor my battery usage -and- the charge. Well, plugged into the 'puter, or my 'old' ReZound wall plug, -or- into the new one that came with the HTCM10... I got the same reading; 50% and 1hr to charge!! So, where is this Quick Charge??

 July 5th, 2017 The above was copied from an add, except for my reported percentages. I am not a heavy user but I was checking the battery cause I have had this phone for a year now and I was wondering how much longer this non-removable battery was gona last. Don't believe that the 27hr mark is still there.
Well, things changed a little bit. I had to reload my system... because of the OTA and I 'was' root. Now then, I had a few apps installed that could have been the cause of my battery usage. One of them was/is an ai.type keyboard, with which I experienced problems with before. Yes, a keyboard can cause battery usage... and they just UpDated it June 20th. Right now I haven't installed anything other than the system and the OTA UpDate. Lie!! I installed Colornote so I could record the battery usage without having to carry around pen and paper. I am now going to install the ai.type keyboard and see if it makes things worse. Oh, I volunteered to be a Beta tester for this ai.type keyboard.

 July 9th & 10th, 2017  Well, the second battery use recording has covered two days, and I see the first one did also, but the 2nd was more obvious to me. Anywho, I did not have all my stuff re-loaded for this second test and as you can see, the battery lasted longer... much longer. It even surpassed the 27hrs. I'm not continuing cause this has proven that how long the battery charge lasts depends on what you have loaded and what you are doing. Yeah, I know, that is obvious to anyone.

 July 11th & 12th, 2017  This is after I have installed a number of the apps that I had before. In particular, the  Pacer Pedometer  . Just installed and used it this morning. I do believe that it is active 24/7. We'll see how the battery holds up today.
Well, as can be seen by the figures above, it did fairly well on this re-load and using. The  Pacer Pedometer   didn't seem to hurt all that much -but- I don't have the "Call Announcer" re-installed yet. Think the voice uses a lot of battery power. But I am not gonna record times and percentages anymore. It is what it is. This test was performed on a phone that is a little over a year old... battery and everything.

Well now, we started seriously trying to use this new fan dangled phone. Things are different. I'm coming from KitKat up to Marshmallow in one giant leap. When I first got my Rez I was NOT a texter. I still don't consider myself to be one -but- my dog walking partners changed that. Also the service billing. In the beginning I had to pay for each text message. Now they are "free". Not really, but they are included as part of the monthly charge and NOT individually. Think it is $10.

Anywho, the reason that is the first item is... cause of Dakotah, my dog. As inferred above, I didn't start texting until I started walking with these other two dog owners and they were into texting. Which is what we do every morning and other times to get together and walk the dogs. It was a little bit of a hassel to get the text messaging working on my new phone. Mainly my fault cause I was looking for things in the wrong places. Now that I have them ironed out... it is a breeze. And I will agree with others... the capacitive buttons could have been a little higher.

 The Sun  It is NOT your friend with this phone. Well, I just checked and it was not a friend of my Rez either. They looked about the same in the same sunlight. I would venture to guess that 'most' of the other cell phones have the same problem. I'll have to compare it with one of my friends.

 July 3rd, 2016/9:29am  Well, we got our HTC Clock Widget back. Only problem is, they changed the number font. It is now skinny and I liked the thickerer numbers. It appears that they are images and not fonts, so it will be difficult to change. I'll have to put in a request.

 July 12th, 2016/7:16am  Now then, I wanted to put a new notification sound on my new phone. The sound is not new, it was one that I used on my old phone. "Pixie Dust". I liked the tone(s) and used it for my Message Notification. Well... this new phone is presenting some new challenges. I couldn't just plug it in and get access to the phones files like I did on the ReZound!! So, we do our usual and search the Web.
Refer:  PC Connect  
 Later: July 27th, 2016  Well now, AFTER, 'destroying' (Not really, but it seemes like it.) all my systems bringing them Up-To-Date, which I should have done by now anyway, I found  Zedge   which is a collection of Ringtones and Wallpapers. Still don't have my HTC M10 and my latest opneSuSE Leap 42.1 conversing -but- I got my "Pixie Dust" notifications.

At first I didn't see any but now in the last week I am seeing the recently taken shots -but- not all that are on the phone. I can see them on the phone but not on my PC connect. That is because Verizon has moved them to the cloud and freed up the space. They never disappeared like that with my ReZound. Always had my pics. Oh, not to mislead anyone, I could see them earlier on the phone through the PC but not now even though they are still on the phone. Hope I have explained it properly cause it doesn't make sense to me either.

 TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53   Received January 13th, 2020.   These are Wireless Ear Buds. Wanted mainly for Use on my phone when I am working or walking Dakotah. Need to hear IF I am getting a call from my Darlene. Work is noisy and so is walking the dog somethimes. When using the above headset I would have the apparatus around my neck with only one ear bud in. Unfortuately the one that was not in my ear lost its rubber cover. Now with these new ones when I only want one in, the other will be in the case protected.

There are no physical keys, so you'll have to rely on touch controls and memorize the right gestures:

• Turn up the volume: tap on the right earbud
• Turn down the volume: tap on the left earbud
  And here is my biggest complaint, IF you are using only the left, there is no way of upping the volume. IF left is accidentally tapped... to bad.
• Go to next track: three taps on the right earbud
• Switch to the previous track: three taps on the left earpiece
• Answer a call: tap on either earbud
• End the call: two taps on one of the earbuds
• Reject an incoming call: tap and hold for two seconds on either earbud
• Activate your voice assistant: press and hold for two seconds on either earbud

I did not like the texting aspect of these Cell/Smartphones in the beginning. I felt that a phone was for talking. -But-, as time goes on, you find uses for it and become acustomed to using the feature. It was on my last phone, the HTC ReZound, that I became a heavier user. And, as mentioned above, this I will have to say was largely cause of my new dog, Dakotah, and the two ladies that I met and started walking the dogs with.

Now what brings this its own section is... changes... and two message apps. I tried to use the "normal" messaging app like I did on my good ol' Rez, -but- I couldn't figure out how to initiate a message. I was feeling really stupid. These ladies were trying to show me what to do -and- I was supposed to be a computer guru!! Well, as it turned out, Verizon had put in their 'own' messaging app called Message Plus. It was setup as the default and when I tried to use Messages I got the following message:
      Do you want to use Messages instead of Message+ as your default app?
Well, I had "JUST" gotten the phone and had not had time to do anything with it. I didn't want to change anything at this time so I said 'No'. I was then presented with the Messages screen and NO WAY to initialize a message! I could read -and- reply to a message -but- could NOT start one. As it turns out... Verizon BLOCKED the message initiation by Messages UNLESS you selected it as the default. Once selected as the default message app a '+' sign in a circle appeared in the bottom right corner of the messages screen. IF you went back to the Messages+ screen you could still see their pencil in a circle at the bottom right but the first message was unreadable and unatainable UNLESS you agreed to make Messages+ the default app!! I thought that this was rather rank -but- only a minor irritation... now.

Now then, all in all, I will hve to say that I like the Verizon version better after all. It puts up the first letter of the name in a colored circle IF you have not put an image for that contact. IF the message went out to multiple contacts it will section the circle with multiple colors and letters. Kinda neat.

 December 22nd, 2016   I have been looking for an "Announcer" that will speak the names of people that call me -and- send SMS messages. All the ones that I have tried will -- IF it is only a one on one conversation.

 Announcer Apps   I have put out a cry for help on this Web Page. I just can not believe that ALL of those announcing apps are "broken" the same way. Can not distinguish who is replying to a group message. Unless it is what it looks like... they all copied the same code and modified it!!

 February 26th, 2018    Mood Messenger   Installed this cause it's description had promises. But first use showed disappointments. In the you have a message portion it showed the first letter of the first person in the list, but it did NOT show the second person. It showed a minus sign, or a pounf sign ot some other entity. It did not display the second name, or abbreviation correctly.

Comments...

Well, I've had this phone for a month and I am just now setting up the special ringtone for my wife's calls. It wasn't intuitively obvious on how to perform this task so I searched the Web. I found 'one' site that said anything about it and listed the procedures. Unfortunately, they were wrong! Think they copied from an older version of something thinking they were the same. The correct way is as follows:

1. Turn on the HTC 10.
2. Select and tap the Phone app.
3. In the selections across the top of the dialer, tap on 'PEOPLE'.
4. Scroll up or down the list of contacts till you find the one you want.
5. Tap the 'Picture Icon' NOT the 'Name'.
6. In the new screen that appears, tap on the index card icon to the right of the name.
7. Scroll down the next screen to 'Ringtone' and tap it.
8. A popup window will show up with all your ringtone sounds.
9. Browse and select the song you want to use as a ringtone.

Now then, I started this as part of the 'Initial Usage' section -but- it became more involved. So, we are making it it's own section. You will probably want to read the whole thing cause this was written, like everything else, as I was learning it.

After adding that '0400' idProduct to the rules file I got a cell phone icon when I plugged the USB cable in. Whooopeee...

 September 4th, 2016/1:11pm  Well, I will have to watch this AFTER I do any UpDates. I was just looking and my changes were gone. Had to redo it.

 June 12th, 2018  Back at it with Nougat 7 and maybe Oreo 8. I had forgotten about this section untill I started searching to see what I had already concerning USB and file transfers.

As stated above, I sent mine off to the Sunshine Boys and got it Unlocked and S-off. I also purchased it from Verizon so the following doesn't apply. It is here for reference.

  Well, this and its replacement were a bust. What happens sometimes when go "economical". In this case cheap was to cheap. However, it is what we got with our phone, and that one works fine.

Well, had it two years and the SIM Card fails. Don't know if it was cause of all my changing back and forth with the ROMs or it just had a failure. Reasons for SIM Card failurs:
(Refer:  How do SIM cards go bad? )

• Electric shock from the battery of the device they are supposed to go in.
• Static electricity discharge.
• Corrosion if exposed to humidity.
• Bad handling,  being bent,  for instance.
• Time: degradation of the materials they are made of.
• Many more...

Well they lied!! At least for the Verizon versions. It is now March 27th, 2017 and we still do not have it. My ReZound was supposed to get ICS in the first quarter of 2012 and ddn't get it till August!! It is looking like my HTC M10 is going to meet the same fate!!

 March 30th, 2017 / 4:18am  Well, hesh my mouth!! Looks like we are gona get it before the end of the 2017 first quarter.  Verison HTC10 UpDate Tomorrow ,  well today. I am, as usual late, -but- it looks like I am the first to read this and comment on it. My phone was down to 63% battery so I plugged it in to get a full charge before UpDating. Yes, it only has to be above 50% -but- I also want to play with the new OS.
 Android Headlines    Android 7.0 Nougat Information  

 March 31, 4:12am  Getting my Nougat. Was delayed recently cause of me!! Forgot to check exact time but started at a little before 4am. At 4:19am it is still optimising the apps... 147 of them! At 4:21am it is done.
Verison Nougat 2.41.605.12 - Android Version 7.0

 Wikipedia,- Android Nougat  

My Review(s)

 Group numbers - March 31st, 2017  Don't like the layout!! Either it is the way it is with this new version -or- I need to install Next 3D. Not sure which yet.

 Nite Mode & Auto Brightness - April 3rd, 2017  Don't like either and had trouble turning Nite mode off. Had it set for sunset to sunrise. The final turn off was enabled via a notification after I had tried the settings. Think I will have to experiment with this and set it for later times. Ok, we are trying 11pm to 5am.
The auto brightness is something else. It is NOT good for us who don't see well at night. Well at least what they had it set for. I found that I was able to increase the amount of brightness and I did.

 Battery Great - April 4th, 2017  The battery time for my operations is GREAT!! I installed Nougat at around 5am on Friday, March 31st, 2017, and didn't charge it again till Monday!! And that was only a partial charge. Testing again and it is now 9am Tuesday April 4th. Got 100% to start with.
5:45pm -- At work all day and, just like my ReZound, I hardly used it at all. However, I still had 94% of my battery!! The Rez would have been less... and for that matter so would this one -- on the previous OS, Marshmallow.
10:12pm -- 87% - Been playing with it a little. And going to do more. First thing is to get re-rooted.
12:26sm -- 97% - All is lost. Whilst getting rooted I had the phone connected to the PC. During these connections the battery was re-charged!! But as of this time and date, we are rooted and have  TWRP ... again.
Now then, I have NOT re-installed the battery monitor/savers that I had in Marshmallow. -BUT- I am getting better battery performance. The battery seems to last forever compared to what I have been experiencing with my previous phone and the previous OS. So far this is the best part and the one I am most impressed with.

 April 6th, 2017/8:42pm  Well, yesterday we lost "Google Play". After reading of all the others, on the Web, that also lost it we tried some of their fixes. The one that seemed to work was ... remove Google Play and let it get re-installed upon a Power Off Re-Start. We have it back now.
Well, that was short lived. It is gone again. Guess we are going to have to go through the Nougat growing pains.

 April 7th, 2017/5:44am  Well, this morning after walking my Dakotah I tried again. This time I got the "Play Store" to show up on me phone!! I need to go to work but I was gona "Factory Re-Set" it first. Now I don't have to. When I woke up this morning my BP was - 151 / 106 before the dog walk. After the walk it was - 162 / 109. Been have BP problems for the last week sooooo... don't know how much of this I will get to finish. I am a heart patient that has had a sextuplet bypass. Not sure how much this HTC M10 is affecting my heart... . Anywho, I'm not gona do anything with it till after work. Only got half an hour. We will see IF the Play Store is still working after I return from work.

 The Clock - April 7th, 2017 / 10:28pm  One of the things that I liked about the HTC phones was/is the HTC Digital clock. The 4 big squares of numbers. Haven't the weather clock... yet. It's a widget. Need to figure those out for Nougat. Well, it is similar to the old. Press and hold an empty spot on the Wallpaper. Trouble is... finding a blank spot. I had to remove an icon in order to find a 'blank' spot.!! Got my flip clock and weather!! Now I must 'suffer' through with the 'Sense Launcher' to see IF I get the animated rain. Looks like it is going to be a long wait!!

Nougat Security Update April -- 2.41.605.18

Had troubles with this. Naturally it did NOT like my 'rooting'. Had to remove root. Then it still didn't work so I did the RUU. Still no worky. As it turns out, it didn't like the adb/fastboot sequences at all... which is what the following covers. It is a copy of my message to my developer friends.

Well guys and gals I fixed it... in the usual way. Just hacking. Tried various RUU's and they did NOT work with the adb/fastboot sequences. Then I decided to go back to Marshmallow. Was warned that it had to be a FULL RUU and I thought mine was. Put it in the 'root dir' of the SD card and did the two finger re-start. It went thru all the gyrations and came up with a boot loop!!!! Stuck on the HTC screen and the Red Circle and then a reboot/restart. Could not get it fixed. So, I said what the hell... I created another 2PS6IMG.zip of the Nougat RUU and put it on the SD card root. Did the two finger(vol down and power) reboot/restart and it worked... like it should. Then just for the hell of it I decided to try the latest UpDate... again. It worked!! So by hook or crook and with God's help I got my phone back -and- Updated. Why am I telling you all of this??? Cause I gotta tell somebody that understands what I just went through for the past two days. In case you don't know... I have an HTC M10 purchased about a month after the initial release.

Most of the trouble was caused by a "fingerprint" mismatch!!

 To check your firmware:   boot to bootloader and look at the combination of hboot version and radio version - if you didn't flash those separate, the combination will let you know what base you are on (each OTA and RUU has the radioversion in its name).-- Uhhhh... that's a maybe. Depends on where you get the file. Most of the 'Official' Verizon OTA's that I have been able to get only have the build number.
Finding out your firmware is a game of guesses and knowing what you did to your device and where you are coming from.

Nougat with Aroma -- 2.41.605.36

Software Version: Build Number: 2.41.605.36
Android Security Patch Level: 2017-12-15, November Security Patches

This one is from  santod040   and includes a few Aroma options for your chosing. It looks like this Aroma option will let you get rid of some Bloatware at the install. I'm just learning it so bare with me.

Refer:  New Release with Aroma     AROMA Installer  

1. Make sure your phone is in USB debug mode.
2. Bring down a ROM from the Net.
3. Compare MD5 Sum
   Windows: MD5 Calculator
   LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
   Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
   
4. IF it's ok, put the ROM on the root of your SD Card
   
5. • Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
   • Put the device in fastboot(bootloader) mode
     --- (Volume down and power until menu appears, select bootloader using power button)(Download mode should work as well on M9 and HTC 10)
   • Connect the device to the computer
   • Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
     
   • fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode) (old process/not needed on HTC10)
   • fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip to make it simple/optional)
   • It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
   • fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
   • fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)
   • -- Then select recovery and press the Power Button.
6.    In a terminal window enter 'adb devices'
           should return the serial number
      Next enter 'adb reboot recovery'
   At this point you should be in TWRP recovery. It is, erroneously or not, at this point, assumed that you are 'UN-Locked', 'rooted', and have a 'Custom Recovery' installed -and- that Custom Recovery is TWRP.
   
7. In TWRP select "Wipe"
8. Wipe the following:

   Swipe to Factory Reset
   ... wait for it to finish...
   Tap Back
   Select Advanced wipe.
   

   • Dalvik / ART Cache
   • System
   • Cache
   • Data

   Swipe to wipe
   Press back
   Press back arrow
   

9. Select Format Data...IF you don't you will get asked for a password on phone startup!!
      Answer yes
   Press Back
   Press Back Arrow
   Press Back Arrow
10. Tap Install
11. Select the external_sd. You may have to move up a level.
12. Scroll down to the 2PS6IMG_36_AROMA.zip and select it.
13. Swipe to confirm Flash
    ... Follow the directions presented
    ... Asked about wiping or not, I chose to wipe.
    ... For rooting I chose Magisk w/PHH Su
14. Next we get to select what apps to leave out. Unfortunately a couple of the ones that I wanted to leave out were not in the selections.
15. Next we have a Debloat and Unlock Wifi Tethering. I only chose the Debloat. This is removing the "Carrier Bloat". Hopefully nothing that I used.
16. Took the default on "Encryption"
17. We... Start the installation... and wait.
18. After it hopefully says Success, press Next and then Finish, then Yes to ReBoot.
19. Wait for the ReBoot
    .... watch animation ....
20. And the setup...
22. At the Welcome Screen select your Language ... default is English... Tap Next
23. The available WiFi's will be presented. Pick One. Then enter the Password. Tap connect.
24. Now you will be asked to Set up a Google account. IF you already have one, you can Sign On to it.
    Now you'll get the Usual Terms of Service. Tap OK
25. Google Services are presented and you select the ones you want. By default they are ALL selected. Tap the arrow at the bottom. It will say Restoring. and the your account is being contacted.
26. Now we get "Which device?". This is going to restore your apps. Pick a device or Don't Restore. This is my 3rd time in the last couple of days and I am going to say Don't Restore. I want to make sure that I don't get all the bloatware -and- I want to get rid of some that I installed!!
27. Next we have "Protect your phone". I say "No Thanks".
28. Now it says it is going to activate it.
29. Next it wants your location and sharing. I say NO.
30. And last, but not least, it wants to know if you want to add any email accounts. No for me.
32. And finally ... we have Setup is complete. Tap Done.
33. You are presented with the Home screen and your phone is operational.
34. IF you had previously saved your apps, contacts and people details to Google, you will see download arrows in the upper status bar. It can take up to ten minutes for all of the info to be downloaded. So, sit back and relax, git yer caffee and wait to see what gets updated and reloaded.
35.     Enjoy

 September 29, 2018  Using a lot of my data and I found two things that were doing it. Firefox and the  Android OS . The browser was my fault. I was getting into screens and leaving them without exiting. The ads were still running and some to the screens had some videos. They did NOT quit when I jumped back to another app. So I can't leave pages to come back to. Must exit and then refind them.

The  Android OS  was another story. It kept wanting me to update to  Android Oreo . Well, I don't want it. It was downloading the system to my phone for installation and then failing cause I am rooted and have TWRP installed. So I found the following and we will see if my data consumption reduces.

I only found the second file. Renamed it and the Oreo notifications stopped.

July 16th, 2018/9:42pm  Well, I have tried and tried to accept and like  Oreo . I can not. For one thing it doesn't keep time correctly! Leastwise not via my favorite launcher... Next 3D. Sometimes it is correct and sometimes it isn't. Same with the temperature. Now granted, it is possibly cause of the ap -but- I have tried others with the same ill results. Therefore I, once again, went through the arduous task of reverting to  Nougat ,  Android 7 . This  Android 8  reminds me of Windows 8. HTC spent more time and effort on  Android 7  for the HTC M10, or at least it appeared that way. However, even there they let us down. They stopped at  7.0  and there was/is a  7.1.2  which is available via  LineageOS 14.1 . I have compiled/built a version of that and may try to use it. But NOT  8 . IF I get another phone I will then upgrade past  7 , cause I will be forced to.

 August 2nd, 2018/10:13am  Well, I am still trying to adapt to this  Oreo . Have finally gotten a successful compile and installed it -but- had problems and have gone back to the Santod040's version. The new "Badges" can be a problem, till you get used to them.
   Google Play Store notification badge won't go away  
So I was having a badge show up as long as I had a "xxx installed/updated" notification in my notification bar. Swiping that away got rid of the badge.

--

The first reference is to Santod who is very knowlegable. The second is to Android Verge from which I got excellent info on my ReZound. I really liked that phone but could not get all the info I needed to continue updating it. It was fabulous for its time but now the HTC M10 is my phone and I am enjoying it. However, like I had to wait for updates on my ReZound I am going to have to wait for updates on this HTC M10. My Rez came with Gingerbread and we were supposed to get ICS the first quarter. We got it in August. They are talking May or June for my HTC M10 -but- I'll bet it is another August or later time frame. Don't care... as long as we get it... the  8.0  or  8.1 .

Refer:  Android Oreo 8.0    Android 8.1 Oreo HTC 10 - maybe    Android 8 vs Android 7  
          Can't Downgrade from Oreo to Nougat    More Oreo Stuff    Oreo 8.1 Lineage  
          Treble: A modular base for Android  

 April 13th, 2018  We finally got  Oreo 8.0  for our HTC M10's. Course I didn't get the notice on my phone cause I installed Santo's Nougat Aroma version. And I am going to wait for his Aroma version of  Oreo  too. Or at least that is what I am thinking for now. The update for Verizon's variant of the HTC 10 is software version 3.18.605.13.

 April 15th, 2018  Allllrighty now... have the  Santod Aroma Version .
Ok now. Due to what was said and what I don't neccessarily understand, I reverted back to the latest STOCK Android 7.0 and then did an OTA UpDate to STOCK Android 8.0. I may, and probably will, change over to santod's Amora Version, but for now I am going stock.
 How to Flash Firmware  

 April 17th, 2018/10:39am  Not happy with the performance of this  Oreo . Especially the camera. I tried to take some pics of my Dakotah this morning and it would not zoom in. I looked around on the Web and did not find much of anything. Was very tempted to try the arduous task of reverting back to Nougat -but- according to some... a Factory Reset helps. So, we just did one.
 TWRP for HTC 10      Oreo and Factory Reset  

Well, the Factory Reset did NOT make me happy. I was very unsatisfied with the results and took the challenge of going back to  Nougat Android 7 . This is described below in the next section.

 June 6th, 2018  I am giving  Oreo  another try. I went back to "Stock Nougat" again and then took the OTA. This time I let it re-load the apps that I was using in Nougat. Turns out that I had about 65 apps installed. I didn't switch to Next 3D Launcher... yet but I plan to soon. However, I must say that the operation of this  Oreo 8  seems better. Could be they snuck in some updates whilst I was away. -OR- I just didn't wait long enough for it to settle down. Seems to be the general gist of things I been reading on the Net.

Annnddd... there also exists a possible problem that after installing Santod's... I took out to much "Bloat". Right now I am still on the "Pure Stock" version. It's not terrible -but- I prefer the Next 3D Launcher. It has a carousal of the screens. They rotate and not just slide from one to the other. I thought that it spruced up my HTC ReZound and it is doing the same for my new HTC M10.

 June 8, 2018  We decided to try the Next 3D Launcer. Now this turns out to be an install and wait. You can't do a lot till the system accpets ALL of it. On the dock I have two funny icons and IF I click on them they say "Application is not installed on your phone." When I did the OTA it took some time after it was "Apparently" finished, to get all the icons executable. Now in this "Activate" of Next 3D, it appears that I have to wait again. I gots two icons on the "taskbar" that are not executable.

INSTALLING TWRP - Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required):

You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.

Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed

On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:

adb reboot download

You should now be in fastboot mode.

Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Scroll down with the Vol Dwn key to:
Boot to recovery mode
Press Power Button to select it.

Back in TWRP
Reboot -> System

Refer:  TWRP for HTC 10  

How to turn off "Notification Found" sound.

On my HTC10, this is what I did to fix the problem: Go to Settings -> Sound & notification -> Advanced -> Notifications (at the very bottom).

Then click on the three dots at the top right of your screen to the right of the search icon. Choose "Show system".

Scroll down the list and find "System UI" and select it.

Choose "VZW" in the list and once you get into the VZW notification category for System UI, click on "Importance" and change it to "Medium: No sound". This will turn off the notification sound that plays when your phone is finding location.

You can also turn off the notification icon that shows up at the top of your screen by turning off the "Allow icon badge". I actually just left this turned on and now when an app requests a location update, I see the icon pop up at the top of my screen, but I don't hear that annoying sound.

Well, I didn't like Oreo so now I'm gonna try Pie. And, again, I will go back to Nougat if this proves to be not any better than Oreo. A lot depends on the Launcher and the Clock.

Originally Posted by Chucktr

One of the reasons I picked the HTC brand in the first place was cause of the big digital clock at the top of the screen. This was with my ReZound. HTC quit supporting it at ICS and we "hackers" carried it through KitKat. In fact I was the last OP. The "actual" HTC clock quit working on my ReZound because of the lack of Vendor files but there was another by MACHAPP Software Ltd that was a good replacement. Neither of these worked proprly in "Pie" or "Oreo". They not only did not keep the clock updated but also did not keep the weather correct. The phone's time was correct but it did not update the big display. And it is a widget which did not install easily. Sometimes it did not show.

Next 3D Launcher. I really like this Launcher and can not find another like it that will work properly in ver 8 or 9. This ""could" also be part of the problem with the clock.

And I walk my "puppy" two or more times a day. Partly for him and partly for my heart. For trivial enjoyment I use an app called Pacer which is a pedometer for your phone. It not only keeps track of the time and distance but will also trace you a map. It is from a fitness company that you can subscribe to -or- just use the app for free. They have some coaching in the paid version. This app did not work properly in either version.

I did/do not like the settings in either ver 8 or 9. Part of that is just cause of change and the other part is cause the actions I needed were not there -or- not easily found. I searched for a way to select the launcher, and could not find one. There were some others but I don't remember all of them. I'm a 72 year old retired fart with vascular dementia. Which means sometimes my brain works and sometimes it don't.

I will probably try again later when Fagyi has incorporated some other improvements -but- I really see nothing in these two latest versions that are a big draw ... to me. Other than to say you have the latest. There are some changes that will NOT allow previous apps to work and the developers have not updated their apps yet.

I use the camera on my phone... a lot. Didn't get to try the camera on 9 but I did not like the camera on 8. So that may, or may not, be one of my complaints. Next time I will be a little more patient and try it.

And last ... but not least ... my Puppy. I have a GSD/Husky that demands a lot of attention. He is the reason that I more or less quit the ReZound building and why I haven't done much on this phone. I need time... time to go over the code and understand what in the heck is going on and what I am doing. Not easy when you have a fury head poking its way under your mousing arm. So, I can only contribute what I have experienced in usage.

This is a good ROM for the most part and I can compile it in an hour or so ... scratch compile... but it doesn't perform to my satisfaction. I will wait for a newer version. But as you know... switching between 9 and 7 is NOT an easy task. Therefore, there will have to be a good improvement before I try it again.

Take care and thanks,
-Chuck

The main reason for this section is... I can not "write" to my external SD card. I remember this happening to my ReZound and it was because of changes in the OS by Google.  Google Blocking Apps  and  Stack Overflow . There was a fix called "SDFix" but I don't know if that will work on this newer version or not. Besides, I gotta find it again!! 

Now then, I was trying to copy some files from my PC to the Phone and could not. Could go from Phone to PC -but- NOT the other way. That was using Dolphin File manager on the openSuSE PC. However, I could copy from PC to phone using the adb push. So, just need to figure ot the drag and drop feature. I did NOT figure this out all by myself. I have been searching and reading on the Web. Will, try to remember and find the places tat gave me the ideas and credit them here... -BUT- if I have left out anyone... I am sorry.

 July 17th, 2018/6:19am  Reverting back to LineageOS 14.1... Android 8 stinks.

Well, CyanogenMod changed to Linage OS. AND I just went to a download page at Androidsage -AND- my HTC M10 was 'NOT' in/on the list of downloads!! Orphaned again!! Even though one of the articles listed below said it was the "First" phone to get it!!

 February 16th, 2017/11:13pm  Mr. Blue Coat... Installing  LineageOS 14.1  
and  Install LineageOS on pme  

Refer:      HTC10 Gets First Lineage OS Nightlies        Lineage OS  

     Lineage OS Downloads  
     XDA The Install        Android Emulators  

 January 15th, 2017  Changed from concentrating on LineageOS to more on Developement. Not gona go with the second and third hand OS's until they don't provide updates for my phone anymore. That is the way I did it with my ReZound and I will continue the practice with my HTC M10. Can't see messing up a good phone with all the experiments. There is code that HTC considers "Proprietarty" and won't release the source. This happened with my ReZ and the after KitKat. Also the camera didn't work correctly with the Developer Versions. ICS was the last HTC release for my ReZound.

 HTC 10 Codes-Useful Checking Secret Codes-Important Codes  

 Android Source Build Numbers  

 Establishing a Build Environment   and
 Establishing Android Build Enviroment under openSuse Leap  

The last supported Nougat Branch was 7.0, and I am going to try to get 7.1.2, which is Lineage 14.1. Now they have one built for my HTC M10 -but- I would like to get my name in as the builder, like I did for the ReZ. In order to do that, you must build it on your own machine. Besides, I want to show off to some people.

Now I did all this over three years ago for my HTC ReZound and KitKat. Things have changed and I had some help. This time I am gona try to do it on my own... with help from the Net.

Setting up a Linux build environment - April 28th, 2018

As for the Hardware, I have the neccessary equipment. However, my OS is openSuSE. It worked for my Rez.

 Required Packs  Believe that I have all those. I have a partial setup of Android Studio. In fact I think it is a full setup.
UpDate: June 2nd, 2018/7:38amSince this is a revamped Cyanogen, I went over to my ReZound Page and checked what was used then. I added them in.  SuSECyan  

Stuck this little blurb in here on my testing of the LineageOS.

 May 30th, 2018  Well, we tried LineageOS. Didn't build it ourselves, just got a copy off the Web and installed it. Had some hair raising events in the install. After completion I could NOT sign in!!   It wanted a password which I never gave. Well, through further investigation I found that, the part that I skipped, had to be performed. "Format Data" during the install in order to get rid of that password request.

Then after getting that resolved and signed in, I found that I couldn't use 'adb'. "adb devices" gave me "HT65T0101066 unauthorized"!! Oooooppps... my fault again. Had Win10 open in VMware -and- it was trying to connect to the phone. Exited Win10 and tried again. This time I got the correct response. What I wanted was to 'root' this new LineageOS. That would come via installation of Magisk. So we ReBoot to Recovery via 'adb reboot recovery' and then perform the install. ReBoot to the System and check ... and we are rooted!!

 Missing:  The HTC Digital Weather Clock. Using this one as a replacement:
     Sense V2 Flip Clock & Weather  

And now back to the Development.

Now then, I will be following the openSuSE setup more than the other. Why? Cause I am using openSuSE.

After establishing hardware requirements and the initial software requirements we added in "maven". After that there was this "devel_basis" that I had not used before. Things have changed in the last 3 years.

Now we get to the "repo" install. First he wants us to create a "bin" dir in our local home. Already there. Next thing is to bring down the "repo" command and place it in my home bin dir. His commandline example was for Cyanogen and I am wanting LineageOS. So we need to figure out how to change it.

repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0

And the change was relatively simple:
repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-15.1

-But- I wanted 14.1. Did not have a LineageOS but a CM one:
repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1

So now we look for an HTC M10 specific one:  pme build 

Well, again we show our ignrance. They are the same and this was in the name change over so we use cm-14.1. That is to get the "initial" code. The device specific is afterwards. The command used first will be:
cd ~/android/lineage
then
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1
to to initialize the environment.
Next we get the code:
repo sync

Alllllllrighty now... I finally got a good download. First one failed with a "Fetch Error". Now to get the HTC M10 pme portion:
source build/envsetup.sh
and then
breakfast pme

Ok. Now we should be able to do our first build for the HTC M10. Well, not so fast. I noticed that it didn't find some dependencies. Reading further I find that I need to "extract" the Vendor files from my phone via a provided script:
./extract-files.sh
It got a 'lot' of files.!!
export USE_CCACHE=1 --- added to my .bashrc
ccache -M 25G
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS=
   "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G"

 NOPE!   Not gonna keep it. The one I installed did not work as smoothly as the ones that I had previously used. Santod's and Verizon's. I believe that they are essentially the same. Perhaps I can get Santod's source and go from there. This final failure was the same problem that I ran into with my Rez... the Vendor Files.

 June 5th, 2018/11:00pm   Well, I'm gonna give the 8.1, ala 15.1, a try. Maybe since it is the latest they will have everything setup correctly. Repeated the steps that were needed and swapped the 'repo init's'. The one that I listed first is the one I am now using. At this time we are doing a 'repo sync'. And that takes time when you are getting the whole thing.

June 6th, 2018/6:57am Ok, it is the next morning and I am not sure how long it took, or what time it finished. Think that is in a log somewhere. I forgot to time it meself. OH SH**!! I extracted it to the wrong dir!! So, we will dump it and do it again!! Wanted to get the time it took anyway. I'm retired with nothing else to do... sorta. Yes kinda stupid but what the heck, Got nothing else to do at the moment.

 April 4th, 2018  Everything has changed... go  Here   and...
    https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-official-twrp-recovery-for-htc-10/  

 Verizon Official RUU/radio/firmware collection   <- The original OP has departed and I agreed to help the new one... IF he needs any.

 December 4th, 2017  Yeah, I get out of sequence... a lot. But here are references to some  TWRP  info.     TWRP 3.2.0-0 Recovery   and     HTC 10 PME TWRP   and     PGP Keys  

 October 26th, 2017  Once again we got an OTA UpDate -and- could NOT install it -- even though we had installed  Magisk . Tried to read over everything that I could find concerning  Magisk  and OTA's, but it really appears that it is not any easier, or cleaner, than what we had been using. So on this "OTA UpDate/Restore" we are still gonna install  Magisk  for the root -and- maybe for the next UpDate I will be able to use  Magisk  and not have to do the RUU. I want 'root' on my phone... just because.

July 7th, 2018   An UpDate: Setting Write access to your external SD card.
   Refer:  Enable Write Access Permission In Android Device Without Root  
The use of "FX" was the same but the part about "Documents" was NOT the same. I do believe that he was using a different phone.

0. Now then,  in order to do this...  root the phone...  your device will need to be either bootloader unlocked, S-OFF'd, or both. This can be accomplished by visiting the 'boys' at:
    SunShine Bootloader Unlock/S-off   Then follow my directions here; which I copied from here:
    Root Your HTC 10 & Install TWRP   and various other places. Trying to get it all in one place. The first part of this concerns installing an RUU cause I could not get the  October OTA   installed with  Magisk  and  TWRP  installed. Supposed to be able to do that -but- I have not figured it out yet.
   
1. Save the pics and make note of the apps that are wanted to re-install.
2. Flash RUU to revert to stock using SD card method. Which is renaming your RUU and placing it on the root dir of your external SD card.
      Nougat 2.41.605.20   Nougat 2.41.605.23   Nougat 2.41.605.30
3. From a previous UpDate, had TR70-2PS6IMG.ZIP on SD card and renamed it to 2PS6IMG.ZIP. You do NOT want to leave the later name on the card when you are finished.
   (I had to break up the name in order to get the page to display properly in my DreamWeaver.) The actual RUU was/is:
   2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_N70_SENSE80GP_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_\ 2.41.605.20_Radio_1.0.C010252@61117_CNV_1.06_002_release_505547_signed_2_4.zip
   
4. Re-booted to ' Bootloader ' then remembered I had to go to  Download Mode .
5. Switched via reboot to  Download Mode .
6. pressed 'Volume Up' button to confirm flash of RUU
7. As soon as the RUU had been flashed sucessfully, that's it. We are now Full Stock again, or updated to latest software version!
8. After the RUU installed all the 'Bloatware' got reinstalled.
9. Gave it a couple of hours to get settled... and do NOT forget to rename -or- remove the 2PSIMG.zip file.
   
10. ****  Ah yes... DO NOT forget about the OTA's.   In this case, the RUU installed 20, but I still need 23 and 30.
       Settings -> System update -> Check for system update
    Will have to do the above check twice, in order to get both.
    
11. =====Now for root=====
    
12. Enable  Developer Options   and USB Debugging on the phone.
13. If you haven't already... connect your phone to the PC via the USB cable. Select File Transfer mode.
14. Open a terminal window on your computer. (this color equals computer)
15. adb devices
16. adb reboot download
17. fastboot devices
18. fastboot flash recovery /windows/G/HTCM10/twrp-3.1.1-0-pme.img
    target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
    sending 'recovery' (21992 KB)...
    OKAY [   1.862s]
    writing 'recovery'...
    (bootloader) HOSD CL#774095
    (bootloader) start@1
    (bootloader) recovery@100%
    (bootloader) Update partition OK
    (bootloader) end@Done
    OKAY [   2.692s]
    finished. total time: 4.554s
    
19. fastboot reboot-bootloader
    Scroll down on phone to reboot to recovery
    Back in  TWRP  Swipe to allow modifications.
    You'll be taken to the  TWRP  main menu screen.
20. Select "Reboot" and then "System" to reboot your phone. And we have  TWRP  installed.
21. Reboot into  TWRP  Recovery:
    adb reboot recovery
22. In  TWRP  tap on "Install".
23. Navigate to where you have the  Magisk  Zip file and select it.
24. Swipe the slider at the bottom of the screen to install  Magisk , then tap "Reboot System." Personally, I clear the Cache first.
25. Note: You will not have to add the  Magisk Manager  IF you got one of the  14.x , or later, versions. It is part of the installation.   I installed version 14.3. November 6th, 2017
    
26. =====We are now "root'd" again=====
    
27. Installed 'Purchased Apps' so I could get a couple that I already purchased.
28. 'ai.type keyboard Plus' installed, so can remove 'Touch Pal'.
29. Installed 'Termux' so I can do some Linux operations. Like removing Bloatware.
30. Installed 'Linux Cheatsheet'. Can't remember all them commands.
31. Installed 'HTC Weather Clock'. It is one of the reasons I got an HTC phone in the first place. Silly, maybe, but that is the case.
32. Installed 'Next Launcher 3D shell'. Like the way it looks and works.
    Got ver 3.7.3.1 (Oct 26, 2017)
33. Installed 'Pacer Pedometer'... 17:28pm on Oct 28th, 2017.
34. Installed 'AccuBattery'... 21:01pm on Oct 28th, 2017.
35. Installed 'App Manager'... 21:34pm on Oct 28th, 2017.
36. Installed 'Calendar Widget' and 'Calendar Key'... 15:53pm on Oct 29th, 2017
37. Installed 'Next 3D Switch Widget'... 21:47pm on Oct 29th, 2017
38.  Remove Bloatware  ... or just apps that I don't want.

 It is late at   night and almost midnight.    Trying to Unlock and Root   my new   HTC M10.   Like everything else... it is different. First thing you must do is enable the "Developer Options". Then you must visit them and enable "USB Debugging" -and- "OEM Unlock". Problem is... I can not find the OEM Unlock!! Just searched the Web and viewed a U-tube vid that showed the selection -but- it is NOT on my phone. However, Verizon just put out an UpDate and I am installing it now. Maybe it will have the UnLock. At present it is optimizing my apps. Says that there is 109 of them. Didn't think that I had added in that many.

Well, it finished and I still do not have the "OEM Unlock" setting. At this time there is a "Mail-In" service that will 'fix' it:  SunShine Bootloader Unlock/S-off   However, before I mail it off I am going to theVerizon store and complain. Maybe I can get it 'fixed' there. ... Nope!!

 How To and Why You Might Want to.  

 September 4th, 2016/1:47pm  Well, I sent it off in July and got the "UnLock". Now there is an OTA UpDate which I can not get. Can't get them when you are "rooted". More 'game' playing. So, the following talks about going back to stock via an RUU(ROM Update Utility). However, this will wipe out your installed aps and data. So we need to back things up before doing this. It will be restored to the Factory State.

RUU File:   2PS6IMG.zip     2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_M60_SENSE80GP_VZW_VERIZON_WWE_1.19.605.9_Radio_1.0.C010031@ \ 60330.2_CNV_0.81_002_release_475304_signed_1.zip

Method 3: How to Install Stock RUU zip File on:
    Verizon HTC M10 and International?

Here is an alternative and easy method to install the RUU.zip file on both global and Verizon variant of the HTC M10.

Boot into the bootloader or Fastboot mode. To do so, turn off your device and then press and hold volume down + the power button simultaneously for a few seconds. When you see the bootloader screen, connect your device to the PC using a USB cable.(Choose Fastboot if option is available) An alternative method:
You can also issue the following command through your cmd or terminal, while connected to the PC, in order to boot into the bootloader. First setup ADB and Fastboot environment from requirements and then follow instructions till step 5. Once into the command prompt or terminal, issue the following command:
    adb reboot bootloader

 September 5th, 2016/6:43am  UpDates!! Did I ever tell you how much I hate UpDates??? Yes... I probably did, but I'm saying it again. Hate them especially when they change the way they do UpDates. And when they don't make the files available for personal installation. Which is what HTC did with this latest OTA UpDate for my HTC M10.

Well, I tried both ways 2PS6IMG with and without the .zip. Neither worked. So, I am performing a Factory Reset!! Right now it is oprimizing apps... 79 of them. And it is taking some time. Then we get Preparing Google app then we get preparing your phone. And finally a Welcome... then WiFi connection... then it wants my Gmail address...
Well, now it is finished ... or so I thought -but- it is bringing down those apps that I said I didn't want!! Need to wait for it to finish and then try the OTA UpDate. Don't think it is gona work cause  TWRP  is still there.

 Februaru 23rd, 2017/11:15pm    Just Factory Reset my phone... again... so in effect I have a new phone.

 Later:  After the Factory Reset I was able to ReBoot into the bootloader -AND- install the 2PS6IMG RUU!! Once again we are installing and optimizing the apps. This time only 44 of them. This is a Real PITA to get an UpDate. Don't think I will do this again until Nougat is available.
Well, Nougat became available March 30th, 2017 and it obsoleted the following. You need to get a new file and do it differently until everything gets straight. Steps to follow now can be found here:  Chainfire Recovery     TWRP for the HTC 10  

Magisk

 April 3rd, 2018  We installed

 December 8th, 2018  We installed version 18 and it crashed our phone!! Got stuck in a boot loop. Didn't take the proper precautions ... like making a backup. Had to reinstall the whole system!!
 Installing Magisk      Using Magisk  

 January 28th, 2019   Yeah I am jumping around... a lot! This web page has no order and possibly should be more individual ones ... but... well. Anywho, I was looking again into installing version 18. Over on the  XDA forum   I found this:
     Magisk Help  

I now have  Magisk 17.1  installed on my  Nougat Android Ver 7 . Think that I am going to leave the  OS  and  Magisk  at these versions. Phone works and does everything that I need and want. Only reason for going to a never version on either would be just to say I have the latest and.... I am no longer into that. To old... leave that for the younger set.     I now spend more time with my Dakotah
(A Beautiful GSD/Husky) and watching TV with my wife (A Beautiful Lady).

BUT... I do read some of the stuff. However, the time of day and how much sleep I've had influences my reading ability. Reading the above mentioned forum -and- the following reference, I found that I need kernel version 3.8 or higher. I read my kernel version and found that I have 3.18. My sleepy eyes and brain thought that was to low!! Well, if you open your eyes, and take a drink of coffee, -and- think in two digits, 18 is higher than 8!!

 July 7th, 2017/evening  Whilst shopping in Wal-Mart I got notice of another UpDate for my phone. I put it off till later that evening and when I tried... I couldn't get the UpDate. I am SU rooted and have  TWRP . Now I have a choice. Either wipe it all back to Factory and start over -OR- try this  Magisk  that is supposed to get root and hide the fact.

1. First I must remove SupperSU and we do that by the Un-Install inside SuperSU itself.
2.  TWRP  is already installed, and in fact it is used to install  Magisk .
3. Coped v12 and v13beta to my SD card.
4. Re-Booted into  TWRP  Recovery.
5. Tapped Install.
6. Moved up a level and selected the external_SD card.
7. In it I selected  Magisk-v13.0(c4377ed).zip 
8. Then Swiped to Flash.... It finished with no reported errors.
9. There were two buttons at the bottom and one was "Wipe cache/dalvik" and the other was "Reboot System". Well, from previous experience with my ReZound, I tapped the Wipe cache/dalvik first. Then a swipe to wipe. Next I tapped the Reboot System.
10. Tried OTA UpDate again... Didn't work!!
11. Looks like I am gona have to remove  TWRP  but I haven't found a stock recovery yet. Think there is one in the RUU but that will be a challenge, maybe...
12.  Completely UnInstall Magisk

Had to run the RUU...twice!! When it finished installing it took a long time in the boot up... both times. Why twice?? Cause the first one wasn't new enough! Thought I had (Ya know, I will never understand this HTML stuff. One minute something works, and then it doesn't and then it does. I have been having "LOTS" of trouble getting this to display properly in my DreamWeaver because of things going over margin. You will see, IF you look, various ways to get it to work. Yes!! I am putting to much in one page. -AND- it does NOT display in DreamWeaver the same way it does in Firefox. ) 2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_N70_SENSE80GP_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_ 2.41.605.18_Radio_1.0.C.zip -but- I had 2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_N70_SENSE80GP_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_ 2.41.605.12_Radio_1.0.C010252@61117_CNV_1.06_002_release_497900_signed_2_4.zip!!       (long names )
The OTA would NOT install with the 12 version. Had to be 18. Notice the OTA is 2.41.605.20. This is supposedly a June "security" UpDate from Google. They are to be monthly. Hopefully the July UpDate will be to Nougat 7.1.2.
Well now, we have a "fresh" system again. There were some warnings that you couldn't mix SuperSU and  Magisk  so now all of SuperSU is gone and all root is gone. So is  TWRP . And I need  TWRP  to install  Magisk . -BUT- before jumping in with both feet we will wiggle our toes and check out how this will work with the Next OTA. I definately have 'root' gone and have the 'stock' recovery and bootloader. Need to figure out how to save this stuff so's maybe I won't have to do another RUU.
Well, I got  Magisk  installed and I am rooted -BUT- don't ask me how. NO, I did not get the stock bootloader and recovery saved. I stumbled through all this twice or thrice and got it working. Or at least it seems that way. I have 'root' again and it is supposed to be such that I can get an OTA. Think there are some modules that I have to get to make that possible -but- this is a beginning.!!

 Flashfire  Allllllrighty now... installed this and I can't use it. Why??? Cause I can't find where the OTA downloaded to. So far all the places 'suggested' on the Web have NOT produced the file. As mentioned above, I had to do a Factory Reset before I could do the RUU in order to get the phone in a state that would accept the OTA. I will try this again later. I will, like with my ReZound learn this a little at a time. They were both $600 phones and I am trying to not risk screwing it up. Don't know IF I will go the CyanogenMod route yet or not.

The columnar portion in the following was taken from:  Stackoverflow .  The HTC Page had it in columnar format but I could not get their code to work. Couldn't find the CSS files with the code in them.
Later: As mentioned elsewhere, I am having a difficult time getting this WebPage to display properly in DreamWeaver -but- it will display the way I want it to on the Web. That is more important than DreamWeaver, so we will just have to work with it till I can figure out what I am doing wrong in either DreamWeaver or the HTML. The display difference is one reason I quit using DreamWeaver -but- now I would like to get back to the WYSIWYG editing. This is also a problem of swiping code from somewhere else -AND- not understanding it!!
Later: Well, this is getting even more interesting. I revisited the  Stackoverflow   page and I see that I was supposed to put the center column first... so it did. Displayed in Firefox OK but not in DreamWeaver. -But- it was better. Used to have the Center Column over-writting the left column in DreamWeaver, but now it is written first with the other two columns below it. But it still displays in the Browser OK.
In the reference below you will see that what I had to do was use "float-left" for the left two colums.
