HTC 10 - How-To de-brand/convert your HTC 10 to WWE
Hello folks,
As for me such guides were really helpful in the past, I decided to do one on my own, to show you how to perform a full de-brand of your device. I did it with a European HTC 10, that has been branded with a specific german carrier CID, as well as SKU, to obtain a full fledged WWE version and thus receive OTA updates as soon as they hit the marked.
In many points I tried carrying together all that has been written prior to performing the de-branding. So there are in fact many things menitoned bekow which have already been written by others. Anyway I'll give the steps again in this tutorial as I think it is of importance to many that they can read the hole to do in one thread. But I advise everyone to read - at least - the threads I linked to, to understand everything in detail.
Please note that I will not accept any responsibility for possible occurring bricks. I can only confirm that this tutorial has been used by me, for my specific unit and all went successful.
