Thank You! I was very active on XDA years back as a recognized contributor with over 10K "thanks" and posts etc. but was running into many dead ends and broken links trying to resurrect my old HTC One M8. i LOVE this phone for the curved metallic back, amazing speakers and believe it even has the IR port on it if memory serves. I wanted to make it a simple medai player/caster for my HTPC setup and plex etc and this was the trick! I moved the rom installer to OTG and rebooted into recovery TWRP and it immediately popped up and started asking me what to install etc. Mine is an unlocked GSM model from TMob I believe so it's sweet to have it as a secondary phone but mainly a media center in my pocket again with amazing speakers. Thanks for this tutorial and still valid links! I was hitting a ton of dead links etc and getting nowhere all day until now lol. +10!!!!
glad you could find what you needed. I try hard to keep all the links in my videos alive and active at Rootjunkysdl.com :-) Nice to see a fellow XDA member as well.
Followed the tutorial and now I'm running the Rom perfectly. Thanks a lot man, keep making great vids (also used your unlock bootloader and root/install twrp)
So i had a Note 5 for about a month and now it belongs to me daughter. Because she loves me she let me keep her M8. I installed the Viper ROM. I have been playing with it for about two weeks. WOW, what a great ROM. The installation process was so clean and polished. I have not seen anything like it. The viper customization options are really cool. I think that it will take me months to really explore all the options. I am not a pro but i have flashed a number of ROMs on my old Nexus 5, I have not seen anything as good as the viper ROM before. I can only assume that they are a team that has been together for a while. Most professional ROM i have used. Can't say enough good things about them. Thanks for making this video and sharing this ROM with us.
Realy great .... Thanks for showing! I see it and I want it ..... Awesome! Download is done ..... Install now ! And I want to say to you ..... Great guy, great videos and don't stop what you do ! Thanks to you ! With regards André
Great videos Rootjunky, literally using same android you used in your original video! Question just got the M10 but I have not activated it yet. I have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and made a back up. My question is since I have not activated the phone yet (haven't installed my sim card) will I have any issues installing Viper?
I have used the. ViperROM on the Evo 4G. LTE, ONE X, One M7, M9 and. the 10! After owning several Samsungs, a couple of LG,'s, a few of the. pure Nexus devices and the HTCs. This is the most incredible ROM as far as customization, tweaks, extras and features that you wouldn't think possible.. It's like having the most customizable Sense ROM with AOSP type extras and their themes are on a whole other level.
Thank you for all of the tutorials, I haven't rooted a phone since T-mobile HTC G2 and felt out of the loop until I found your videos loving the new Viper Rom! Very detailed instructions, newbies don't be afraid to do this and unleash your phone's potential!
This rom is awesome thanks for talking about it. It takes an already awesome HTC Sense ROM (which surprisingly is quite good) and overhauls it with tweaks and mods. It is also cool to see something other than a Cyangoenmod rom be this feature rich. (Not that I dislike it in the slightest, for the longest time it has been my default rom and still an amazing effort, and I would like to see on this device). And in general it is really cool to see roms be this customizable where even the smallest things can be changed. I mean even how the rom installs and what it installs. Besides venom I haven't seen anything do this. I am thoroughly impressed. Thanks for the Rom highlight I would have never heard of this otherwise. Also anyone installing this do not make a mistake like I did and uncheck keyboard install. This won't install an AOSP keyboard it is only the HTC Touchpal keyboard that is an option.
yeah. Venom seems awesome! it looks like it would make xposed framework unnecessary, and even has OTAs. sadly I'm stuck now at enabling allow modifications right now. I don't get asked if I want it and can't find anywhere to change it...
Lync_x256 No, I was talking about twrp. I had to go to thhe menu "mount" and mount the system partition after removing the checkmark "mount system as read only". It all worked fine after that and venom really is an awesome rom.
LRM12o8 That's weird. I have latest TWRP and everything went smoothly (Which surprised me. I came from a Lg G2 VS980 (Verizon version) and it was nothing but a nightmare that refused to end). By chance do you have you're device S-OFF or are you keeping it S-ON? Normally an install shouldn't have those extra steps. Also if you are S-OFF are you keeping it on stock CID or have you flashed SuperCID?
Lync_x256 i kept it S-On it prompted me the first time when booting into twrp and I chose system read only for doing my backups, according to the tutorial. later, when I wanted to install venom I booted into recovery again, but this time it wasn't giving me the swipe to modify system prompt, so i had to activate that manually, nothing to special there
Do you not need to go into settings on phone and tap build number 5 times to unlock oem settings and then check a certain button to enable you to root the phone
I flashed/installed the rom successfully, no errors. But when you it rebooted it gives me "System UI has Stopped." and goes black and then screen comes back up and it repeats. Please help me fix this.
I've unlocked and rooted my htc 10 succesfully with your guide, but when I boot into recovery mode it doesn't ask me if I want to keep read only. where and how can I change it to swipe to allow modifications? (although I did not tick don't ask this again)? much thanks in advance
my htc 10 is stuck in black screen "htc powerd by android" and it keeps doing it again and again when i try to turn it on.and when i try to unroot it using ruu setup,it shows me error 120"main battery low"or your battery is under 30%.it wont get in to download mode either.
Love your guides, yet after keeping system read only as in your HTC 10 root video, the option to allow system modifications did not pop up again when I booted into recovery. Could you tell me how to enable it?
thank you very much. I had the same question. so it's mount (not advanced) and there you have a checkbox saying mount system partition only. is it enough to just uncheck that, or should I also check system in the list?
I have installed the latest TWRP version and tried to install this... drops me back to twrp once the installation is at about 80%...any idea what to do here?
Does this rom fix the Wi-Fi issue that the stock room has? I have very very bad Wi-Fi signal with this HTC 10. no problem at all with other phones in the same router
Sorry for using the youtube comments as a help section. I installed this and afaik everything works, except for the notifications bar thing doesn't work. I can swipe or tap the buttons all I want but they do nothing. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Hello Root junky i love your vids you have helped me tons over the years and i sincerely appreciate your work. im wanting to install the viper/ venom rom but im not down to risk bricking my phone. i have twrp version 3.0.2-2 and i just want some assurance that venom rom is compatible with it. I cant seem to find out how to update twrp to the latest which is 3.0.2-5 now. Could you hep me out with this ? thanks in advance!
+UtamfShapes well you can always update twrp with the same method you used to install twrp. That been said you can also keep the ruu firmware file on your phone like in my firmware restore video to give you a safety net in case of a brick.
Hi , I m roadboss2 on xda. By changing to Viper 10 for example. Will that allow me to get some other htc apps that are for htc One only ? I prefer the htc gallery over the Google photo . But playstore says htc gallery is not compatible for my device (htc10)Thanks !!
question I know this isn't a video comment. I'm trying to get wifi tethering on the HTC ROM. is there anyway to edit the "read only" default.xml file on that ROM?
Hey man, I'm running into an issue on my HTC 10 where TWRP cannot see the Viper zip. I placed it in the root of my internal storage, yet TWRP can't see it. Any idea what might be going on? I've literally looked through every folder that I can see + subfolders...
I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM itself. TWRP can't see my internal file structure for whatever reason. I had the same issue while trying to flash the root zip through TWRP -- had to sideload manually through ADB. Pushing the ROM through ADB similarly just isn't working, though.
Ah, you are probably on too old trwp version. Ensure you are on at least 3.0.2.3 all previous versions cant decrypt your /data partition where also your internal storage is located.
Well shit, that might be the problem! I'm on 3.0.2-2. Pulled the TWRP zip from another HTC 10 root video. Shouldn't stuck with Root Junky! Is it safe just to push the 3.0.2-3 zip over ADB?
better always pull stuff from the original sources..so pick latest twrp from the offical twrp homepage. 3.0.2.4 is latest. You dont push the recovery. you flash it in fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery PathOfDownlaodedRecoveryimage"
1.) T Mobile HTC 10 2.) Android 7.0 3.) Stock ROM Software 2.51.531.32 4.) Unlocked bootloader, S-Off 5.) TWRP recovery I rooted using Magisk then tried flashing Viper10 ROM but it gets stuck in a boot loop. Do you think it's because I didn't root using SuperSU-v2.71-forceencrypt_v2? Or is this ROM not compatible with my phone?
hi there, sorry if this has already been asked before. I'm looking to run stock Android marshmallow (Nexus) or Android n developer preview on Bell HTC 10. is that possible?
Hey i did exactly what you do in the video but my htc v don't wants to start after that. i read an artikel on xda that i have to flash the kernel also is that true and waht kernel i have to use pls reply as soon as possible
Viper10 comes with it's own kernel during install. If you've bricked your device, you will have to follow the xda threads to possibly repair it. If not, hopefully, you purchased insurance, and will have to pay the deductible. Tell your carrier the phone is lost. You may void the warranty if discovered you unlocked the bootloader. Do not send them a bricked phone!!! My favorite kernel is ElementalX, along with EX kernel manager. Viper10 should install flawlessly. It is just a zip file opened in TWRP. Sounds as if you have proper root, as you can load other roms. Maybe zip file got corrupted. Get zip from Venom website and try.
I've solved the problem I installed lineage os but viper 10 rom still don't works i would rather have the viper 10 rom than lineage so can anybody help?
Have you tried a factory reset, and re-rooting with the proper Super User...(Systemless Root SU)??? I ask because I had no problem with my Viper install, I simply flashed a zip image
Anthony Dickerson I get hundreds of comments every day have a normal 40 hour a week job and 5 kids and a wife. life is busy. people and comments get over looked it happens.

LRM12o8
Are you talking about the Venom installer? It uses the Aroma installer so you can pick what you want in and what you want out.
Lync_x256 No, I was talking about twrp. I had to go to thhe menu "mount" and mount the system partition after removing the checkmark "mount system as read only".
It all worked fine after that and venom really is an awesome rom.

Wow looks like a great ROM. How is the day to day use? Is it a stable as the stock ROM?

Love your guides, yet after keeping system read only as in your HTC 10 root video, the option to allow system modifications did not pop up again when I booted into recovery. Could you tell me how to enable it?
yes just go into advanced and mounts on twrp and you can mount system then will enable it
thank you very much. I had the same question.
so it's mount (not advanced) and there you have a checkbox saying mount system partition only. is it enough to just uncheck that, or should I also check system in the list?
