need to get root w/o losing data - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hi, guys, I'm on an HTC 10 with Stock Oreo, I need to install root so I can recover deleted text messages, the problem I am having is that I cannot install TWRP without using HTC DEV and HTC DEV wipes the phone. If anyone has a workaround I need it badly

If your software is old enough (Marshmallow) you would be able to s-off with Sunshine without unlocking your bootloader, and then root the device. You'd have to pay $25 for it in that case.
The only other option I can think of is to ask the Sunshine team if they'd be able to manually s-off your phone without wiping it. That would require you to mail them your device (and pay the $25), so it depends on how desperate you are. You'd have to ask them if that's even possible.
Else, not much you can do.

So I checked this phone I bought it off swappa and havent really looked at it much. The phone is S-Off and it is running oreo also I believe it says the bootloader is unlocked, but im not sure if the unlocked part just means that it has been sim unlocked

Your bootloader being unlocked is not related to sim/network unlocking. The bootloader was unlocked prior to the s-off process. You can leave it as it is.

Woot best news I have heard all day. Will installing twrp erase any data on the phone?

No.

So I have gotten TWRP installed and I cannot for the life of me get SuperSU installed. I tried to install Magisk first and it failed or it's on there and does nothing. I have followed a few different videos but for whatever reason I cannot get SUperSu to install. Any ideas? I have tried installing from TWRP and also tried installing from adb sideload both "worked" but no SU Icon and no root?

Solved the Issue, I stopped trying to install SuperSu and did an adb sideload of Magisk and got Root. Thanks guys for all your help

Hi to all,
I would like to know how to root HTC without wipe and losing any data.
Thank you very much to all.

You cant, when you unlock the bootloader to be able to flash TWRP all data will be wiped. No choice there.

No idea never needed to use any so can't give any insight on that. I always use Google photos with cloudsync or onedrive. Works great and no worries about lost pictures.

Dottat ,U have just solved the age old problem I've been facing of how imma get back 2 stock if I decide to ota for 5.0 ... I'm currently s off unlocked bootloader, and 2 many mods to remember,but thank u seriously for everything you've done for the m7 community
I'm a little confused.. I haven't messed with this stuff in almost a year so I've forgotten a lot....
My phone was just s-off, rooted, nusense rom. I restored my old backup in twrp to remove nusense. Will this finish returning my phone to stock? Or is this just a fix for the guys who got stuck in the middle of the process? (linked here from the other s-on thread in general discussion)
clarification: phone is still s-off and rooted with twrp recovery. I only removed nusense so far.

This will leave you 100% stock. Recovery included. If you are s on and want to go stock and root you will need to flash this...then fastboot flash the recovery of your choosing and then flash supersu zip of choosing in your custom recovery.

Repair HTC One M9

Hey,
I have set S-ON through fastboot, and have a relocked bootloader. I cannot enter recovery ("failed to boot to recovery mode. Press volume up or down to back to menu"). I cannot boot to my OS, because it is stuck to bootloop (wanted to install xposed arm).
Firmware is 2.10.401.1 and Android 5.1.
So I cannot flash unlocktoken with fastboot, because it is not enabled in developer settings.
How do I repair this phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Try installing the twrp again using fastboot. Then restore or uninstall xposed maybe?
Also go to lollipop xposed thread, they have multiple files and uninstaller there so make sure you get the right one. For me it's sdk21 64 bit.
(I'm just an average consumer so it's up to you if you'd give this a try.)
Edit: I missed the point where you got a relocked bootloader. Idk the solution to that though.
I can now boot to my OS.
So in order to run sunshine I need to uninstall xposed.
Can I uninstall xposed from there?
Any flashing app? Flash Gordon does not uninstall xposed.
Other idea is to restore nandroid backup via nandroid manager. But this says "Warning: This recovery is a partial backup. It is recommended that you restore this backup via your recovery because some recoveries are not able to restore partial backups". Is that safe, because the warning supposes not.
It is "HIMA_UHL_TWRP_Nandroid_2.10.401.1" from the internet.
Edit: Or should I wait for RUU and flash original recovery and RUU from flashify?
They have uninstaller zips in the xposed lollipop thread.
You need SDK22 64bit by rom racer... Or The 64bit uninstaller in the original thread.
Thanks. But how do I run the uninstaller? I cannot boot to recovery.
Ok, problem solved.
Here's what I did: Since I enabled bootloader unlock in developer settings, I forgot to generate a new unlock_code. With the new code from HTCdev I was able to unlock bootloader and boot to recovery.
Thanks to everyone who helped in this and all other threads!
How did you get a new unlock_code?

When you're running Android 5.1 please make sure that oem unlocking is enabled in developer settings.
Is bootloader locked or relocked?
I assume you have S-On?

Please give us more information, so we can help you better:
Bootloader locked/relocked?
Which Firmware?
What ROM installed?
What Recovery installed?
Can you start Recovery?
No, it does not start in recovery
Sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately I don't know a way of how to set the enable unlock flag via fastboot. If you're able to do so, please let us know how. Then get a new unlock_token and after you unlocked the bootloader flash twrp.
If this is not possible you should flash RUU. Your version isn't published yet. However you could try the previous RUU. This might cause problems with your firmware. You're responsible for what you do!
Otherwise I don't see any other option than wait for a new RUU.
Btw: What have you done to your device? No unlocked bootloader and S-ON... Looks like no major changes from your side.
Did you ever figure out how to fix your phone?
I also have my phone "LOCKED with S-ON", can't access it with USB programming, and its stuck in a Boot loop.
i had this problem too
all i did was :ENTER RECOVERY MODE MANUALLY
even thou the phone goes there automatically, when in the "automatic" recovery mode go to reboot, press select(power) then hold down volume and it should reboot into recovery mode(it looks a bit different from the one you're on now) and then you can unlock your bootloader again
i was looking for a solution too because i couldn't go to developer mode because the phone kept rebooting in recovery mode so i decided to play with the buttons a bit
that's how it worked in my case just a moment ago

working flawlessly. thanks
Seems really promising! I am having a slight issue however.
After unlucking the bootloader succesfully, when i proceed to flash twrp, it says success. However, when I boot into recovery, i get the classic "Resting Android robot" saying "No Command"

Awesome tool. I just have one question. Is it possible to relock the bootloader without losing root? I unlocked bootloader manually, I boot twrp (not flashed, just boot) and installed SuperSU. So I still have the stock recovery, but I'd like to relock the bootloader without having to lose root.

I've used the tool to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. Worked smooth and didn't really have any issues. I did had to flash TWRP twice, but that might have been an error on my part for not looking at my phone after the first flash attempt. SU installed via on screen notifications after booting into recovery, worked like a charm too.
I recommend this tool as it takes away a load of work, especially with the bootloader unlock.
When trying to boot in recovery i got "No Command" while the device is unlocked and i tried to flash new recovery...
EDIT:
You must enable "OEM unlock" after the reboot

Relock the bootloader, But I wouldn't recommend it is you may brick your device.
Does it really bother you? You can just avoid looking at it when booting...
It cannot be removed yet but there should be a way soon.
Stop restarting the device lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using XDA-Developers mobile app
before u even think of relocking bootloader or unchecking oem unlock under developer options, flash stock recovery 1st, then u can try to unlock ur bootloader, again oneplus supports unlocked bootloaders, so if u are worried about warranty, its still under warranty with bootloader unlocked
I know security can be annoying, but come on, it does not make your device useless. It's not like if you would see it very often though.
It's good that they make people aware about the risks and implications of unlocking/rooting your device.
The most annoying thing is the spelling mistakes
It's useful to have tho, if you messed up holding volume key trying to get into recovery after rebooting from fastboot.
Just hit the power button right away, it disappears, or as some have said.. Look away or close your eyes
Updating to OOS 3.2.1 fixes the grammar errors, that will make it more bearable :good::good::good:
Is there at least a way to make it not ugly, for example like Google's example?
There is one way.
Relock your bootloader.
Or simply don't look at it when booting.
Or press power button to boot without waiting.
Or buy a Nexus to have a less ugly message regarding unlocked bootloader.
Can't seem to understand what's the problem with the this.
Very useful thread, full of "don't unlock xD LFMAO".
XDA is no longer what it used to be......
If there was a way to do that don't you think it would be here already.
If this is like my old G4 there's no way of removing that unless you Relock the bootloader.
Not even change it with another image.
So please stop asking for something that can't be done(at least for now).
And xda is what it was.
Users aren't what they use to be.
Now xda is full of users that just don't want to bother looking for answers, that ask the same question over and over again, that breaks their device and blame the dev, and so on.....

seems this could be done…
someone from oneplus China says there's a way…
just wait and see what he will release for us
Until someone releases a way we cannot say there's a way to do that.
Until now there isn't a way for that so my post as is true on it.
If that could be done even I would be appreciated.

By doing some reverse engineering, maybe I could sort it out. However, we would need to figure out where is that security check (should be somewhere in bootloader) and then just NOP the jmp or the check.
I currently do not own the device, and the shipping is gonna take a while. 2 weeks before mine gets dispatched

Question Can't register fingerprints

After updating the requisite firmware, I performed a clean flash of the latest CRDroid build (previously I was using the March 28) build. During the initial setup, as well as after through the regular settings page, I was unable to register any of my fingerprints to the biometric unlock. In the setup screen, the UDFPS lights up when pressed (see screenshot), but no matter how long I keep my finger pressed on it the print will not register. I have rebooted, clean flashed, and dirty flashed the ROM, and the problem appears every time. I have tried installing both with and without GApps. I even tried flashing LineageOS instead of CRDroid, and I had the same issue. What steps should I be taking to troubleshoot this?

No, the only backup I have of my previous install is the Swift Backup of apps and settings.
Try going to stock and check if the fingerprint is working. If its working then it may be a bug. If not then I think you have over written the persist partition.

What's the easiest way to revert to Stock? Should I just download one of the packages in the pinned post on this forum and sideload?
And if my persist partition is corrupted, what recourse do I have?
Try MSM tool. Probably one or both slots are derped. Also maybe you use wrong base firmware for these roms

What's the easiest way to revert to Stock? Should I just download one of the packages in the pinned post on this forum and sideload?
And if my persist partition is corrupted, what recourse do I have?

If persist partition is corrupted you have no other choice except to give your phone to OnePlus service center as this is unique for every phone.

MSM Tool worked fine, but I was also unable to enroll there. Seems my only choice is to find a OP service center and get the phone sent out.

Just dont forget to lock your bootloader and say that the new update broke your phone. BTW dont forget to take a backup of persist.img when you flash a new rom.
Yeah I have one stored in the cloud before I ever even unlocked bl. Can't just use any model persist partition..it's particular to each device. Sending in is only option or don't use fp option.

There's also a way to re-register it. Had this happen on my 8. Just didn't work the same since.

How did you back it up before unlocking the bootloader? Wouldn't you need to unlock the bootloader in order to root your device to access the root directory?
Also, is there any other root directory I should back up after I get my phone back, besides persist?

I think he took the backup via Partitions Backupper app which was the same app I used take a backup of my persist.img. But the app requires super user access to take backup.

Can you please mention the steps and what are the backsides of doing this?

Many ways to accomplish without root. And you back up the persist partition. Not root directory. Msm Read back with F8. Then find persist and send it to the root directory of C drive with Read back feature. . Password oneplus

Just search xda. Pretty sure it's on the OnePlus 8 or 8T forums.
