I take it you actually are not on the Verizon network?

If that is the case, you will have to search around for the Verizon version RUUs. The links previously posted were removed by request of the poster.

i have edited earlier post including a link. confirm whether you have installed the device drivers on pc. (install htc sync manager. keep device drivers and uninstall htc sync manager.) then run exe while in windows.

I started the proccess as you said and during the installation i got an error [170] said my phone is not recognized.
I also tried to install again HTC Sync and the error still there, and my phone was connected correctly.

confirm whether there is adevice as MY HTC under Android USB Devices in device manager of pc. if not, device drivers has not installed properly. use an original data cable and use another cable.

Sunshine s-off should work. But you need to root with kingroot, if the built-in Sunshine temp root doesn't work.

Now, updating by official RUU versus s-off and custom ROMs (or other "unofficial" means) is a personal choice.
