The Sunshine app is the go to app for Motorola and HTC devices. The app allows you to easily bootloader unlock and even S-Off your devices. It is the only one click automated solution. The app has just been updated and now allows you to safely relock your HTC 10 bootloader. Apparently HTC...

I really want to love the HTC 10. This is the first HTC phone I have really been excited about in more than a few years. Don't get me wrong I love HTC. The first smartphone I ever used was an HTC Touch. It's just the last several devices they have released have just been sort of ho hum. The...

The HTC 10 is pretty much a standard flagship device. HTC really played it safe here. There is nothing to complain about with this device which is a pretty big deal for HTC since the last few devices were plagued with problems. There is also nothing to get overly excited about with the device...

It was pretty easy to miss HTC's big announcement in the midst of all the Google I/O excitement. The announcement by HTC actually goes hand in hand with the event! Today on twitter during the Google I/O keynote HTC tweeted "Android N will be coming to the HTC 10, HTC One A9, and HTC One M9. This...

So this is the issue that everyone will inadvertently run into when upgrading to a usb type-c device. While usb Type-c is the future of smartphones it will take some time to get fully adapted to it. I have a total of 3 USB Type C chargers and only 2 actual cables. On the other hand I have...

If you are going to S-Off your HTC 10 you will have to wipe your data to wipe encryption. This can be done in TWRP by choosing the format encryption option under the wipe settings. Alternatively you can use a simple one click script developed by "topjohnwu". The script allows you to wipe...

This would be a great file for anyone looking to rom or mod to have saved on the PC. An RUU serves as a safety net for anyone installing a custom recovery. RUU's allow you to unbrick your device easily as well as flash your HTC phone back to stock. Today HTC released an RUU for the latest...

Verizon must be the worlds worst carrier when it comes to developer friendliness. They have chosen to lock up their devices tight. The generally don't approve of devices that have unlockable bootloaders. Verizon even took about 6 months to white list the Nexus 6 for activation. That being said...

Just after the release of the HTC 10 we found out that the unlocked version of the device that was being sold through HTC's website supported bands for Verizon. We also found out that Verizon decided to blacklist those devices in favor of their own carrier branded devices. I had a feeling that...

The unlocked version of the HTC 10 has already received an update. The update brings the build up to 1.53.617.5. This is still Android Marshmallow and is not really a major update but does bring some important fixes. The camera has been improved and the performance of the camera should be much...

The most popular HTC Rom around, Viper by Team Venom, is currently in Beta for the HTC 10. It is not ready for a public release, but has been in Beta for two days. Hopefully the developers will have the bugs squashed pretty quickly on this. The Viper rom series is well known for being one of the...

Well there will be no need for a root bounty on the Verizon HTC 10. Either HTC phones have tons of vulnerabilities or they have just been super laxed about the bootloader. Samsung on the other hand locks their devices down super tight. Their bootloaders take years to unlock. It only took the...

Let the games begin. The great thing about being able to buy your devices directly from the OEM is the ability to freely unlock your bootloader, install recovery, root, and flash roms to your hearts content! The first of many roms for the HTC 10 has already been released. Keep in mind this will...

HTC has finally done an excellent job at providing us with more of a stock vanilla android experience when it comes to Sense 8 on the HTC 10. They have removed redundant apps on the device. Where you used to have a Gmail app and an HTC mail app you now only have the Gmail app. This means that...

Rooting most Android phones is a pretty simple task as long as the bootloader on the device is unlocked. Normally you would just need to install a custom recovery and flash the SuperSu.zip. Things are not as simple with the HTC 10. This device handles encryption kind of awkwardly. If you S-Off...

When the official specs were added to the pre-order page on HTC.com for the Unlocked version of the HTC 10 there was a bit of excitement that the phone features all the bands needed for a phone to fully work on Verizon's network. Knowing how Verizon likes to do business I figured this was too...

Today HTC sent out an email to those of us who preordered our devices directly from HTC. It looks like as a thank you we will be getting some sort of free surprise. I have not idea what this could be. I am just hoping its not some lame clear case. Samsung has done a great job in the past with...

Unfortunately the Verizon models of the HTC 10 will likely never be supported by HTC's developer tools. This means for these devices we won't be able to get the bootloaders unlocked without some sort of exploit or hack. The good news is that if you are on T-mobile or AT&T you will be able to use...

When buying a new phone you should consider it's durability. If this is going to be the phone you keep for the next couple of years you will want to know just how well it will hold up to your day to day abuse. It seems that at every device release their are a few guys bold enough to inflict...
