Hey there!
The U11 is my first HTC device ever (I had the Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Note 2, LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge).
With the Samsung devices, flashing a stock ROM was very easy. Downloading the stock ROM from Sammobile and flashing it via Odin.
How is it on the U11? The Android 8 update is on our doorstep and I want to do a clean flash, but since I didn't root so far, I really want it to be 100% stock without voiding the warranty.
Is there a site to download the (European unlocked) Android 8 ROM when it's available? How can I do a full clean flash (I don't mind losing all data)? Thanks a lot! I know my way around custom ROMs and flashing, but with HTC devices it's somewhat confusing.
Ruu's don't appear for some time after release ota. If you've never modded your phone you have nothing to worry about. If your phone is carrier locked and you want to change the firmware to unbranded you have to root and s-off.
To unroot back to stock just flash the firmware of the current version the phone is on. You can then take ota updates. You don't need to relock bootloader etc either.

Hey. I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 and I rooted it a while back. When I rooted it, it was on the MDL firmware. Eventually, I wanted to return to stock, so I used Odin to flash the MF3 firmware on it, little did I know, AT&T made it nearly impossible to root with this new firmware. Now, the phone is working running the stock firmware, but I get some weird bugs and also the Samsung Custom splash screen still shows up when I boot it up and not the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Is there any way to fix this? Would using that tedious new way to root the MF3 firmware help at all?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon (model: SCH-I535) and its currently updated to its latest firmware, I was trying to downgrade/ root it but it wont work it keeps failing on Odin. My purpose was my main question, is it possible that I could flash a stock SGH T999 firmware on my phone? I would be really grateful if someone showed me a step by step process on how this could be done.
And recently I cant do anything with my phone but officially upgrade it. I think when i upgraded its firmware the security suddenly got tighter, can someone help me about this?
My plan was suppose to be (knowing that 4.3 and the latest firmware on my Verizon prevented me from doing anything): to downgrade to a lower firmware version, then flash the T-Mobile stock firmware.
I want to use this awesome ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
I need to install TWRP. When I first got the phone, I learned that this was not possible with AT&T due to a locked bootloader. This still the case? I have been searching and I haven't found any tutorials or youtube videos specifically for AT&T Galaxy s6 -- is it the same process? I'm currently running Android 5.0.1 and I flashed a ROM with Flashfire (Ultra Light 1.8 by Rayman360) -- it's a great ROM but you can't do much since it's basically a de-bloat stock.
Can someone point me in the right direction for installing TWRP on the AT&T Galaxy s6?
I suspect I will need to do a full wipe here and then re-root with a different method.
I am familiar with Odin and TWRP, I have been using custom ROMs for years now.
I still think its not possible due to locked boot loader

Hi,
I just bought a Like new S6.
I thought I was getting a factory unlocked device, but I got a Verizon unlocked phone (for other carriers) and full of bloatware from Samsung and Verizon.
I can still return it, but before doing so, I was looking for options about rooting or installing a different ROM.
it has Nougat 7.0, Firmware G920VVRS4DQI1, Kernel 3.10.61
As I understand, currently there's no way to modify anything in this model, right?
Should I return it?
Thank you for your replies
So I just got T-Mobile Galaxy S7 from ebay. Unfortunately the owner kept it up to date or updated it before sending it out. I'm coming across conflicting information on custom roms. I've found instructions on rooting, and have had success. Before i go in to detail on what ive learned so far, is it even possible to flash custom roms with the v9 bootloader? Can I use roms intended for the exynos variants of the SM-G930? Like lineage-herolte. Am I stuck with the T-Mobile rom?
I'm in the same boat; bought it from eBay with the most recent firmware and I'm looking for a root/flash method.
here is a root method that worked for me.

Im waiting on a SM-G930U from verizon to come in the mail before I start blindly flashing to the SM-G930T. I don't want to brick my only phone. I'll updated once ive tried.
Thanks! Have you noticed any issues after rooting? I've heard heat is one of them.
I didnt leave it rooted. I didn't see the point without a rom to put on it, so I reflashed stock T-Moble G930TUVS9CSC1 with odin.
Any update with flashing that custom ROM?
Flashing boot files
Hi just letting you know Be careful I flashed ENG-boot files going around and bricked a my 1st g930vl because it had a U9 boot loader.
I see one or two actuall post but no twrp, so once it gets wiped than it's time to get a new phone.
