It is already possible to do this using fastboot commands if your phone is unlocked via HTC dev
Is this in the right forum lol?
yeah its been done for ages ^^^^yes youre from BRIZZLE!!
I know it can be done by fast boot
I meant that if any one can make it possible without unlocking our devices

Oh right, good question but i'm pretty certain this is not possible one one-x otherwise probably would have been done already

This isn't possible.
Yesterday i managed to give my phone a nice bootloop since i flashed the wrong boot image. So i locked my device again in order to perform the RUU-solution. After locking it i tried to flash the files manually (quicker) but run into privilege-errors. The RUU failed too so i unlocked the bootloader again. After that RUU worked fine.
You have to unlock it.
It's nice of you to try but the others are correct
Fast boot is the only way to make a permenant change to the boot. Img . If you are able to write a new one it will just be reverted after a reboot because of the protection

Hello XDA people
Im new in thread, but im follow the XDA at many time, so i hope im doing the right way
Explanation of my problem.
Im from PORTUGAL and i use a HOX with the VODAFONE rom...
When i buy it i see all that vodafone apps and i dont like it.....so what i do?... I make the bootloader unlock, the ROOT to my
HOX and everything goes fine to install in the future a ANDROID REVOLUTION HD, and that is the rom that i downloaded the version 10.6.
I put the rom in my SD, put the phone in fastboot, first the image via CMD, and the install ZIP of the rom
So far all normal.
But when i boot my htc it stucks on htc logo................
Well, i try again and again and nothing, do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and nothing.....nothing.....and again......nothing
After that
i thought to going back and RELOCKED the bootloader to put a STOCK RUU...
The RELOCKED works fine, but the problem it´s the RUU ---------- I dont find any compatible RUU for my HOX.
In this moment i have the 2.17.161. 4 and the radio is 2.1204.137D1.21 ------ i dont find any RUU compatible with this.
I try the RUU´S 1.26, 1.28, 2.17 and nothing
Allways the ERROR 140: Bootloader version problem.......
What can i do to REVIVE my HOX ?
Please if someone can help me i will be very grateful!:crying:
Sorry for my English..........im Portuguese!!!

Did you take a nandroid backup before trying to flash arhd 10.6?
If not, you could just flash arhd 9.7.2.
The HOX now is RELOCKED.
and i can reboot to stock to put another custom rom, or it´s possible put a custom rom
on HOX in bootloader mode?

follow this guide from master Shnizlon
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
Flash new firmware using the commend 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.
On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Flash custom recovery using the commend 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Download boot.img and flash it using the commend ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use the commend 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
You'll need to unlock and install clockworkmod, then you can restore nandroid backup (dont forget boot.img) or install custom rom.
OK. I leave apart the RUU, only some question, because im a noob!!!
1º I can not enter in the HOX only in bootloader mode, how do i create a virtual SD ?
2º the HOX is relocked, i have to relocked again ?
3º which JB rom i install for this ?
sorry for this questions, but i have done so much, that i´m afraid to brick my HOX.

Hey guys. So I was trying to install a stock RUU zip and for that I relocked my bootloader. The thing is I'm not being able to install the RUU zip and the phone is bricked, and I just want to unlock the bootloader again and install a custom rom to have this over with. The other thing is that I have many files in there, I had only 3 gb free of memory, and I don't have a backup of those since my computer broke down and I lost my files. Is there a way to backup my files while the phone is bricked? Or a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping my files?
I hope you have good news for me, I'm getting kinda nervous... Thanks in advance

There's no way around unfortunately... The only way you can backup is through the command
Code:
adb backup
and you can do this only with the phone in recovery or booted up

You can try to make a backup via the app called Carbon. It does not need root acces or anything.
Thanks everybody! I unlocked the bootloader expecting to lose everything I had but in some crazy way everything is fine, my files are untouched, the phone is boot looping but that I know how to fix without a problem. Thanks for spending your time with me, problem solved
Ah if i recall it right its like this, the very first time you unlock the bootloader
Locked to unlocked
It deletes everything.....when going from
Relocked to unlocked
All is fine as you have experienced now.
Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.
If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress
Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.
Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it
Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?
Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier

Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory

Thanks!
are you S-off with your htc one m8?
you cant flash RUU when you are S-ON
are you able to go in fastboot mode?
the old method to recover soft bricked of old htc phone was to push recovery using fastboot drivers from CMD. it was quick method.
1st you have to tell me are you S-OFF or S-ON?

This is false. A signed RUU meant for your CID, will flash fine with s-on, as long as the bootloader is LOCKED or RELOCKED.

What exactly did you flash (full file name) and where did you get it from?

Is the phone powered off, or does it seem to be on, just with nothing on the display?
If powered off, try holding power + Vol down for a minute or so, to see if you can get into bootloader.
Hi, thanks to everybody, but i solved the issue. I let my battery drain and then I charged it for a moment and turned the cellphone with Power and Vol -, I got in fastboot instaled twrp and then installed the rom and everything works fine now, thanks
My cellphone is S-OFF

Not booting after flashing a full, signed firmware is normal and expected. See on the following firmware thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792
Which reads:
- FullStock Wipe ZIP/FUU: this type of zip also re-flashes the /data partition with HTC’s DZDATA files (meaning you lose everything on your internal SDCARD). Also replaces the Kernel, Ramdisk, recovery and Splash1 with latest stock images! The /system partition will not be touched. (Else this would be a RUU, not a FUU). Phone will NOT boot after using this! Be sure to put a ROM onto your EXTERNAL SD before proceeding with a FullWipe ZIP! Else you can also ADB push a ROM in recovery mode after fastboot reflashing a recovery.
So flashing the ROM was the right thing to to. Nice work figuring it out.

redpoint ,can you clear one thing here? can you achieve BOOTLOADER RELCOK w/o S-OFF, i have already read forums on XDA that one cannot relock bootloader while S-ON
and can you flash RUU on S-ON? if am false can you post links here proving that you are true?

You can easily make the bootloader RELOCKED with a single fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
To make the phone LOCKED (for instance, warranty purposes) you need to have s-off.

Yes, you can flash RUU fine with the bootloader RELOCKED (after its been UNLOCKED) and s-on. RUU will run with bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED. It also has to be the RUU for your devices CID,MID (can only change CID and MID with s-off); and also has to be an RUU of same version or later (no "downgrading" using an older RUU unless you have s-off).
In short, running the right version RUU is fine with s-on, as long as the bootloader is LOCKED or RELOCKED.
