My phone will go into the bootloader (no custom recovery installed) where I can use fastboot but the phone wont get past the htc logo. I have installed the stock software by having the phone in the bootloader and fastboot mode and I have tried the PC10IMG.zip flash but neither seem to make a difference even though they both seem to complete without errors. I have also tried to flash individual img files with fastboot but the phone just returns a signature failed message. Basically am I out of luck with this phone? I tried talking to HTC and they cant help me unless I provide a receipt, since I bought the phone used I dont have one... and I dont have an account with the provider (Bell) that this phone is branded for.

Do you even know what you are doing? just asking cause you are not giving much info to go on. What are you trying to do in the first place and why do you not have a custom recovery installed?

Do you have eng hboot installed?
if you have ,no, its not bricked you can easily format your phone flash a custom recovery
and install any rom you want. if this is the case ,i can help you with that.
im assuming you have firmware 1.34 so you can try to just flash back the original 1.34 wwe rom for the htc desire z.
hi everyone,
i think i am having a somewhat larger problem. i got the TD-LTE version of the m8 (called m8t) today, and i went ahead and unlocked the bootloader, and flashed a custom recovery WITHOUT doing a backup.
now, the initial splash screen gives a warning message (see pictures) message and i am stuck in the bootloader.
i was looking for a stock recovery ... but didn't find anything (yet)
the idea was to try to get the GPE rom onto this, and i was prepared to possibly see it bricked at that point, but forgetting S-OFF is a bit ... humiliating.
<edit>
i just realized: there isn't even a proper question in my post, so here it is:
can anyone help me out with this? what should i do?

Will your phone boot or not have you got recovery
If you are worried about the red writing don't be it's normal when you root if you get s-off you can remove it

it will not boot, because the s-on prevents it. i did:
Code:
$ fastboot erase cache
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img
Code:
$ fastboot reboot
and that's how i ended up there.
one question i would have is - do i need to flash the recovery back to whatever was on there before? or would a ruu stock do? could i run into trouble for flashing a "regular" LTE stock rom on a tdd LTE phone?

I believe there are no RUUs available yet!
seems like you soft "bricked" your M8 TD because you flashed the recovery as kernel so if you dont have a backup of your kernel you will have to send in your device for repair because no RUU is avaible for any M8 you can try to ask someone with unlocked bootloader and the same m8 type (china mobile) to make a backup of his kernel and send it to you !

What weird advice is that.....
@ the OP.
Get the rom you wanted on it, reflash the custom recovery first :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and flash the boot.img of the custom rom you want :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
That sorts the partitions and then head over to the recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip
To put the rom on the phone you can mount it as a usb disk drive in the recovery.

Sorry dude but he has a M8_TL and our international HTC One M8 is M8_UL so i think he cant use our kernels and roms and recovery ! But if you know that it would work everything is fine

i did this. it's not great, it still doesn't go into recovery, and it also doesn't boot normally. HOWEVER: i am thrilled to report that at least SOMETHING changed.
i still have the "tampered" banner at the top, which is, i assume, because it STILL is a wrong kernel. but when i try to go into fastboot, it says "entering recovery" for a second, and then goes back into the bootloader. before that, it would take ages, then show a red triangle.
does anybody have other, "stock" recovery and/or boot images?
if i buy a second one (exactly the same, chinese version), how difficult is it to extract those from it? not that i am looking forward to spending another 800USD .... just weighing my options here.
The exact same issue
Hello bro, i have the exact same issue, i didnt know i had to have a TWRP (recovery flash thingy for china mobile) so i just used one i found online while following instructions and i got the same problem, my phone does start after i click reboot on the fastboot mode, but again i am stuck with the SINA WEIBO login which is what made me want to root it on the first place, i went ahead and talked to a chinese tech and he gave me a file that he said would install all the google apps which is what i want (I NEED GOOGLE PLAY AND GMAIL) but since the kernel i installed is wrong, then the phone just reboots and goes straight to fastboot mode, which doesnt let it complete the installation of the google apps!
have you been able to solve your issue?

I have the correct recovery.img for the M8t now - I have rooted my own China Mobile 4G phone. However, I don't know how to upload the file or how to get a backup of the original boot.img Happy to help if one of you can tell me what to do. The website with the recovery on is in China and is sometimes OK, somethimes not - AND you need to register on the forum to get the file - not easy for non Chinese people! (like me!)
Hi, It seems that you flashed a custom ROM on the htc one m8t without S-OFF!! You can only flash ROMs that are branded for M8T (China mobile TD), because the custom kernal will not be flashed and youll be stuck at bootloader screen.
If you need to add google apps to your handset you follow the instructions on the thread link below, until then you CAN NOT flash other custom ROMS until a solution to make the M8T S-OFF is discovered (I tried Firewater and it did not work, but the chinese has made a hardware solution for S-OFF of M8T:laugh.

I am not sure if this is what you need. Just saw something in bbs.gfan.com about M8t RUU. I am newbie myself. Perhaps someone might be able to tell you if this can help you. I have a M8t and I couldnt get it S-off...

in the meantime, a few weeks ago, i have found someone on taobao who had the stock ROM. this should by now be publicly available. and he also s-offed it for me. he claimed that (at that time) only very few other people would've been able to do that. he used a gold card.
but as we all know, this is just a matter of time - sooner or later, everything ends up in the open.

I restart device and it is stuck at htc logo. I can get into my stock recovery. I just need help getting my phone back to normal. I have no idea how and i have searched.

Did you flash anything via fastboot? Did you remember to remove the sdcard after unlocking the boot loader?
Yeah I'm unlocked s on now but can't get past the HTC logo I have no idea what to do. I've been reading but can't find anything on how to just get stock. I did remove the SD card but even with the card in I still get stuck htc logo. Is there a way to flash stock. Please help and thank you very much.

Well, I've pretty much managed to screw up my HTC 10. I'm on the latest 3.16.401.2 WWE, S-ON, with the bootloader relocked and stock recovery. I can access the download mode, the bootloader and the stock recovery, but I can't unlock the bootloader since I can't active the OEM unlock option. The phone doesn't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop at the white HTC logo.
Using the OTA available for WWE gives me the Status 7 fail error. Is there anything else I can do, besides from waiting for the Oreo WWE RUU?
Thanks in advance.

I won't even ask how or why....
But yes you could S-off or wait for an RUU to magically appear.
Those are the two options.

It's pretty complicated, but long story short, I was stupid.
I can't S-Off without being able to boot the phone, so well, I'll probably just wait for a RUU.
HTC 10 boot loop
Hello guys,
my wife yesterday tried to update OTA (our htc 10 are completely stock) to OREO from Nougat 2.41.401.41. Something went wrong and it's stuck in a boot loop. I can get in bootloader and tried to install the ota, which I downloaded, manually from SD card, but after verifying it says "error: partition has unexpected content". Is there a way to get the phone back working even with data loss? Thanks really for the help, the phone has never been modified, I am getting crazy reading the forums but I am a total noob ?
i have seen i need a ruu, possibly zip since I can't boot and activate USB debug. Can someone please share a run.zip link at least equal to 2.41.401.41 (European)? Thank you very much
I have the same issue, HTC 10 in a boot loop after applying the OTA Oreo update. I'm able to get into bootloaders and such, but i need the data thats on the phone... Allready tried taking out the SIM and SD-card. Does anyone know if this can be fixed?
Same problem here!
After Reading what the rest of you lot mentioned here, i have the exact same problems! Installed the update from Nougat to Oreo, and the phone went into bootloader! I was stupid enough to delete most of it through TWRP, and even dumber to RELOCK it so that TWRP is out of the Picture. Download mode appears, but the recovery just brings me back to bootloader. Oh yes, and the OS is missing.
and fastboot / adb wont recognize the HTC Connected to the PC anymore.. Guess this is a total Brick? should i send it back since i have a warranty? Will they be able to fix this?
I too was stupid and relocked it while reverting to stock. At this point I had also flashed the stock recovery and recovered to what turned out to be a non-functional backup. (Stuck in boot-loop)
Thankfully Fastboot did however still work while in download mode, and I was able to unlock it again by flashing the same unlock_token.bin that I have kept since I unlocked it the first time, slapped in twrp again and I was good for another go.
M8 can you help out linking some procedure for a noob like me? Should I use a ruu? I am completely stock
I'm no expert in this my self just FYI, but installing a RUU is usually a straight forward process.
You need to download a ruu for your particular CID (Depens on where the phone was sold and what -if any- carrier the phone is locked to.)
I have an european unlocked one so the RUU I used was this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504
You can find more in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297
Download the ruu (just short of 2GB in size) , rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip and put it in the root of an SD-card and insert it into the phone.
Reboot it into download mode by holding power+volume down until the grey HTC logo appears.
It should now detect the zip file in the sd-card and ask you to install it. Press volume up to confirm.
This will re-install everything (System image, recovery, firmware etc) all existing data gets destroyed.
Worked like a charm for me, and was able to do a Oreo OTA right away after the first boot.
Thanks a lot for your help, I'll give you a feedback asap.

I have an Indian HTC 10 (SD 820) full stock, no modifications. One day the phone froze and i restarted it and from that day it hasn't booted up. The htc logo shows up while it vibrates, then again the same screen. Stuck in a bootloop. When i get to bootloader and boot to recovery, the grey htc logo comes for 1 second and then it goes back to the original boot animation and it loops again until the phone dies. Whenever i plug my phone to the charger, it immediately gets stuck into the boot loop. Please help me !! Any fix please !

Hold the power button and the volume down button to reboot to download mode. From there you can flash an RUU.zip to fix it.
What is needed to direct you to the proper RUU.zip to download and flash is for you to boot to download mode and post here what it says next to "OS"
Good Afternoon.
I'm looking for and original HTC One M9 RUU for 4.30.617.12 from AT&T. The phone is currently stuck in a boot loop with S-On and developer options were never activated. ADB is not able to connect via USB. I have resorted to only trying to flash the phone via SD card, but I cannot seem to find the right RUU for it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to give up just yet.

Hello,
Do you still need the firmware? I could upload the file later today if you are interested.
here you go:
https://mega.nz/file/NZkWGACI#cu3jrS62FE_6D-DRbGzpZSijm-1g7q6JKuWYhJ1LWoI
Hell yeah!
Alas it did not work.
I loaded the onto an SD card and changed the file name to 0PJAIMG.
Inserted SD card to phone.
Started phone in the white bootloader menu.
Selected "BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE".
The phone restarts into the black HTC screen and loops again to the white HTC screen.
Am I doing something wrong?
Need official RUU for HTC One M9 3.38.710.7 or 3.50.710.1
Good evening Good People
So I have an HTC One M9 showing kernel v "3.10.84-perf-geb5d15 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT"; build "3.3.710.7 CL683910 release-keys"; Android Security Patch Level 2016-03-01. Bought from my daughter who got it on Amazon where history undefined...
Someone has been at it because the factory update to 3.50.710.1 downloads (800-odd MByte - thanks :/) )but won't install and (MOST OF ALL) the EU:Exit app from gov.uk (that I have to use for a client on Monday 17-8-2020) won't run because the signature (or whatever it is) fails on the boot image.
So please can I ask:
1. Does this boot image look like it is original or is it a hack?
2. If this was installed is the original boot ROM reserved or overwritten?
3. Does anyone have a copy of a good factory install image that is this version or later, that I can beg for, that will pass the signature check by our esteemed governmetal app?
4. Does anyone have any good ideas about patching the boot ROM checksum to make it look "ok"?
TIA

Yup thanks @AlexA ... this thread appeared to be "I need a new boot image" and I need a new boot image
Seeing as TWRP doesn't hold factory boot images any possibility of XDA developers setting upa repository (notwithstanding attacks for copyright issues - and possible hacking - but you now what I mean).
