Develop Bugs

Hi, need some help

Ive been reading this section of the forum for 2 nights now. read various threads and none the wiser.
Ive unlocked my htc one x using the windroid htc one app which worked fine, but installing a rom was not as easy. now < i admit, i dived in and installed a ROM without seeing what else it needs to work ( am used to flashing nexus roms) and now its stuck at the HTC screen. Now i've tried various ways to rectify the proplem. uisng various roms, flashing boot.img before flashing the rom, no go. tried older roms, no go.
I know the hboot needs updating, but without a cid id then i cant find a matching firmware.zip.
Ive tried to do a RUU boot by locking the bootloader but get this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash zip rom.zip

thanks for your help that got the phone back to booting properly
I flashed it and it worked. I got myself back to the latest update. Now i tried various roms again as i'm one for experimenting but some of the newest ones dont seem to want to work.
ones i've tried>
Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1
HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0
OneX The Next Chapter! v1.2
but none of them worked for me.
So i went lower with
cm-10.1.3-endeavoru which worked
then updated to
cm-10.2.0-endeavoru and flashed the boot.img for it to work.
Now for the other roms, what am i missing? is it the firmware.zip? hboot level?
Am bowing down to Thant, and hoping he can tell a mere minion what he's doing wrong

I don't think you updated far enough ! Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit :
I see thant is offline, so i chip in......

cyanogenmod stable rom not recognising sim, and not being recognised by htc sync
Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....

the reason i'm so frustrated is aside from the supposedly stable build of cyanogen mod i downloaded in rommanager not working, the rom doesnt recognise my sim, i dont have access to the internet, so i cant simply download a new rom to flash straight from rom manager...as well as this the wifi doesn't seem to work on this flash...and to make matters worse it's not being recognised by the drivers...i'm using htc sync manager..when i plug in the phone it will open htc sync manager but wont show that a phone is paired to my macbook
...when u say manually can i do this directly from my phone or do i need to connect it to a computer?

You must connect it to PC..And then go to fastboot and flash boot.img file..Then you will have signal,wifi etc..

its not being recognised as a device since i flashed the *cyanogen mod stable rom*...i plugged it to my computer though, and put it into fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB...the options it gives me from here are
HBOOT
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN

Here is guide how to use ADB on macbook:

And then you can use fastboot commands..

yep fastboot oem lock

Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

i already had the ota 3.14.401 and got the firmware.zip from there.
its installed fine and i now can put most roms onto it.
:victory: thank you Mr Hofs
So i get this right in my head. The phones firmware.zip needed updated so it would update hboot and other things.
Now to flash roms is the procedure to flash the boot.img contained inside first then install the rom <----which is they way ive being doing it

[Q] [RUU] Error: 152. Unable to Restore TMob One M8

Hi, thanks for reading.
I was running the latest version of CM on my One M8. Decided I wanted to revert to stock ROM to regain HTC camera and wifi calling functionality. Figured an RUU would be the easiest way.
Here's where I probably screwed up. Downloaded and ran the RUU for ver. 2.xxx from HTC. Forgot to relock bootloader, but it rebooted early back into CM no problem. Relocked bootloader. Ran again.
I should have known to pause when I saw that my version was 1.5xx but it seemed fine with updating versions as part of the process.
Then it failed again, error 152. Was able to reboot into CM again this time.
I did some googling and reading and saw one guy say that he was able to fix by simply running the RUU again once it was in the "four exclamation marks in triangles" screen, which is where I was after the next try, so I ran again. Another error 152.
So finally I realized maybe I needed the 1.5xx RUU. DL'd that, tried running, "error, wrong version." Because now it thinks my phone is on ver 2.xxx.
Now I can't get the phone to boot into recovery or into bootloader. No clue where to go from here. I'd really appreciate your help. Gosh I screwed up.
The last lines in the RUU log (1.5xx) are:
Code:
<T205408><DEBUG><OUT>Execution time is 6(s)</OUT>
</DEBUG></T205408>
<T205408><DEBUG><OUT>FAIL43 main version check fail</OUT>
</DEBUG></T205408>
<T205408><DEBUG><OUT>FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)</OUT>
and the prior try, RUU log 2.xx:

Update 1: can recognize device using "fastboot devices" but not "adb devices." haven't tried pushing/pulling anything yet. Saw someone in another thread tried installing via command line. Not sure which .zip I should use, as there are a ton of options on XDA, or if this is what I should try next.
Update 2: there are seemingly two versions of the "four exclamation points" screen: one is dim and has the orange led showing and the other is bright without led. Bright without LED is what I got after "flashboot reboot-bootloader". Worried that the bright one may deplete battery.
3: Since I can't otherwise boot into a recovery, should I try to flash a recovery?
4: Not sure if this is useful but:
Code:
getvar version-main is indeed listed as 2.22.531.5

8: Tried to create some RUU .zips per this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534428 but the zips say that archive is corrupted. EDIT: MD5's for the .exe's do check out.
9: Used a zip repair to repair those RUU .zip's. Noticed that their android-info files have "hbootpreupdate:12" but my phone has "hbootpreupdate:11" might that be an issue?
Sad Edit: I tried some stuff, nothing seemed to work. Freshly downloaded from an alternative mirror the 2.2xx RUU and booted into RUU via fastbooth before running it. Everything said it went perfectly "CONGRATULATIONS ROM UPDATED! Rebooting!" etc.
My phone is bricked. Never woke up from that reboot. My computer keeps trying to recognize the device via usb, but nothing.

I didn't think you could use unsigned zips with s-on. Also you couldn't flash stock recovery because your boot loader was locked. If your boot loader wasn't locked it would be worked. So it doesn't show anything in fastboot anymore? Have you tried charging it them plugging back up to computer to see if fastboot will recognize it again?

Yeah I tried unlocking the bootloader while fastboot was still recognizable, but it wouldn't work.
Not sure about the unsigned zips thing. Would that also go for the RUU? I thought those were signed/straight from HTC.
I'll try it once more, but it should have been fully charged last time I gave it a try. Computer shows an intermittent "QHSUSB_Bulk" but not sure where to go from there. Found threads for other HTC phones and tried their methods, but it got to the point where the one guy was supposed to go through Ubuntu to manually install individual .imgs to the phone, but I think he had somehow managed to get fastboot to work.

Ruu is straight from HTC they are .exe files. If it is an ruu.zip I think that only works with s-off. Hm I'm not sure what do to either, I was thinking maybe it just needed to force reboot then press power and volume down for hboot/fastboot I don't understand why it wouldn't just reboot.

Yeah it's especially weird because I thought with S-ON it was supposed to be hard/impossible to override ?boot.ini (not sure, don't quote me on that) anyway. But yep, won't boot at all.

[Q] HTC one M8 (dual sim) stuck on bootloader! What can I do?

Hello everyone! glad to be a new member of this amazing community! I am a new member with a tough problem, would love if I get ideas on how to solve it.
So After flashing stock unrooted GPe rom as per the most common methods circulating around (changing CID, MID, S-Off, etc), I was thrilled to see the boot splash screen change into google's except that it keeps booting into the bootloader; for some reason I could not get into recovery either (but I flashed TWRP again and it works now)
So as it stands now I have the following:
S-Off
Unlocked
Software status: Official
Working TWRP (which keeps saying NO OS IS INSTALLED)
Unable to mount /data (whatever that means) + "error: closed" when attempting to sideload the RUU roms via ADB
I did not install any firmware or kernels
and whenever I try to boot the OS I get put back in bootloader over and over.
As far as im concerned this phone seems bricked for me, but im also new so I wouldn't know, having said that, I am open for the most radical of options and procedures to get this working.
Thank you all in advance!

Flash it again via adb, the flashing command must be executed twice.

I get an error "E:Unable to mount '/Data'" as soon as I open up the sideload option. when attempting to sideload I get "error: closed". I am starting to sense I have a problem with my storage. what to do next?
Thank you so much for your reply!

That unrooted GPE was for dual sim? I see you have a dual sim.
Make a screenshot.
Details about the ROM would help.
Do a fastboot getvar all command also.

Actually I don't know if the Rom is for dual sim or not, I figured as long as I get CID and MID right it should fit? pardon my ignorance on the matter. ill post a screenshot as soon as possible!

OK. First things first, did the GPe ROM ever work? The reason I ask it was designed for the single-SIM M8 so don't know if it worked with the dual-SIM version. If not, we should be OK to get back to stock...

It never booted up correctly no. I'd love if you can help me go to stock with such a messed up state my phone had gotten into.

We should be able to sort things out, but I'll need to get to a proper PC and get links together

- Dual-SIM RUU - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleaW9iTFBiSUE2OVE/view?usp=sharing (rename to anything you want but I'd recommend ruu.zip, not ruu.zip.zip obviously!)
- htc_fastboot - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249
- Sense FW - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407589439 (again, rename to anything but I'd recommend firmware.zip)
1. First things first, boot into fastboot and set your CID to Super CID - fastboot oem writecid 11111111
2. Once done, reboot the bootloader and confirm it's done - fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Assuming it's done, boot the phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Once in RUU mode, flash the firmware package - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
5. It'll fail the first time and reboot. Do the exact same command again once back in RUU mode - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
6. Once finished, reboot back to the bootloader to confirm it's on the white 'Sense' version - fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. Assuming it's done, reboot into RUU mode again - fastboot oem rebootRUU
8. Now flash the RUU using the HTC fastboot version - htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
9. This will go through a few passes but once finished reboot to the bootloader - fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. Once back at the bootloader, disconnect the phone and go into stock recovery
11. Once in stock recovery, hold power and press volume up and once the menu appears do a factory reset
12. Once complete, reboot the phone
It should now boot back into the normal Sense ROM. Now if you changed your MID to the GPe one you'll need to re-root your phone and change it back using the guide by @scotty1223 HERE but if you didn't change it then you're good to go!

That is amazing thank you, ill try it and get back to you asap.

I have two questions:
Will I still get OTAs even if I don't have the original CID and MID? (I remember the original CID which is J15 but I can't remember the mid).
Also, I am currently on custom recovery and in your guide above I do not see anything about flashing stock recovery, should I do that first?
Thank you again!

The RUU flashes everything stock, so it'll overwrite it all
I'd change the CID back to stock once it's all working again but the MID I'm not sure on so I'll see if I can find out for you

At step 8 I get an error "DNS server not authoritative for zone", how to resolve that?

Nvm I resolved the DNS thin, but now I get error 41 model id check fail. It is probably because of bad MID isn't it?
Thank you again for helping me, I hope it is not much trouble.

htc m8 - bricked while updating ota stock marshmallow

That RUU won't work, its not for your Euro "401" version, its for the US Developer's Version (1540). You need RUU 6.12.401.4 which can be found in .zip format here (don't know of a source for exe format): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
You also need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU. Instructions to do so, are also included on the link above.
Did you unlock the bootloader to RUU? If so, you have it backwards. RUU requires bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED. RUU will never run with bootloader unlocked (unless you have s-off, which you don't).

I downloaded the correct version of Marshmallow from Android Ghost : url below.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
Make sure u download the htc fastboot files: Google is ur friend.
Place the image in the same folder as the htc fastboot files are.
rename the file to 0P6BIMG.zip( remember not to add two zips at the end.,windows generally hides the extension
Now open ur command prompt.
naviagate to the htc fastboot folder , i my case, i put in c drive
so it would like c:\htc_fastboot_files
Now Voulme Down Button and then press the power button.
In my case i had to use Power+Volume up to reboot the phone . And the moment it rebooted i pressed just the vol down button.
So we would be in Bootloader. Now switch phone to fastboot mode.
Navigate using volume buttons and power button to enter.
in fast boot mode
bring up ur command prompt:
We are already in the fastboot file folder. like i mentioned before: c:\htc_fastboot_files
type fastboot get var all
look for this info: (bootloader) version-main: 6.12.401.4 ( This might be different case to case, according to this you can search for relevant ruu, just google with the version number firmware)
Now htc_fastboot oem lock ( To relock the bootloader)
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip Firmware_xx.zip ( in my case its 0P6BIMG.zip)
Once the flash completes, you will have a window which says Flash complete. OKAY. Mind you it takes some time.
After this,
htc_fastboot reboot . Thats it. Phone will take quite some time to reboot and complete the process.
My phone was up and running from here. But in case of errors. You might want look down.
IF IT SAYS "FAILED" do not immediately reboot the device If you reboot with a FAIL It could brick! If no flash is being accepted you have to find out what is causing the malfunction before rebooting your phone. Keep it alive while trying to figure out the error. It might be your cable, your USB ports (don’t use hubs! Always direct-mainboard connections), it might be USB 3.0 which is not good yet, it might be bad configuration of your ADB and Fastboot...
The least dangerous FAILED messages are listed below and are safe to reboot (below this section you find CRITICAL errors, please observe):
Safe to reboot / Flash didn't happen Errors (if you encounter one of them, you can just reboot. Nothing changed):
- 12 signature fail (unknown yet but safe to reboot)
- 23 parsing image fail (means something wrong with the image in the zip)
- 24 android-info fail (means something wrong with android-info.txt in the zip)
- 32 header error (means the zip couldn't be read and unzipped properly)
- 41 Wrong Model ID (means it's not the right device)
- 42 Wrong Customer ID (wrong CID means you gotta swap CID first as explained below)
- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions WITHOUT a reboot in-between).
- 99 UNKNOWN usually indicates you are S-ON, sometimes other Security related issues.
- 130 wrong model ID (seems it's the same like 41, just that it shows in the FUU as 130.
- 155 seems to indicate different things. It can mean: 1.) You need to relock bootloader (If S-ON); 2.) You cannot run the RUU/FUU because the software versions of ROM, Firmware and RUU/FUU don’t match.
- 170 Check USB - FUU won’t run because of not working ADB.
In fact, if it aborts before the "(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping & flushing..." line it actually didn't write anything and you can probably just reboot. If you see it flashing stuff though (the stages after that line) and then it stops with a FAILED, chances are a little higher that something is now broken. In that case do NOT reboot but do as i said above.
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
For Error 23 "parsing image fail" do:
- change image names in the zip to stock image names like “hboot.img" or “radio.img" or whatever failed there....
For Error 24 "android-info fail" do:
- check that your ZIP isn’t some HTC OTA or anything thats got no android-info.txt - those cannot be flashed with fastboot flash zip nameof.zip command.
- check that your zip has a good MD5 and is not broken, check android-info.txt etc...
For Error 32 "header error" do:
- Sorry i haven’t found the exact cause yet and don’t know a definite solution.
- Make sure there is only one . (dot) in the filename, before the extension. fastboot reads anything after the first dot it sees as the extension. If that is not zip, it fails.
- If that doesn't help, you can also try: make the zip new with recommended settings, re-run the command, check your connections...
For Error 42 "Wrong Customer ID" and: 41 "Wrong Model ID" do:
Code:
htc_fastboot getvar all
Read that output, take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly (For Wrong MID change the MID in the text, for wrong CID add your CID to the text).
Alternative method for MID and CID errors:
go SuperCID. Do:
Code:
htc_fastboot oem writecid 11111111
You can change back to any desired CID after a successful firmware flash. Notice: this command only works on S-OFF phones (which you have already of course or else you wouldn't be here).
For “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." do:
- Run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)
- Don’t reboot in-between! (It wouldn't brick you but it would just make you run the flash command twice again)
- This might be caused by the newer encrypted RUU's, they need their hboot to be flashed first so it can then decrypt the rest of the ROM.zip. Look at an encrypted ROM.zip from a RUU, you will notice that you can mostly extract the hboot without decrypting the ROM.zip, but you can't extract much else.)
For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- You are S-ON? Then almost definitely this means the ZIP is not signed - get an unmodified zip!
For “Error 130 wrong model ID" do:
- Please refer to Error Code 41/42.
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- Since my thread works only with S-OFF phones anyway, this error can be read as: you need to S-OFF first!
- Error 155 can mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of a wrong region lock.
- Lately, Error 155 has occurred when a FUU was launched from within android. When encountering a FUU error 155 with the process stalling after the rebootRUU (stuck at black screen with silver HTC logo), please just restart the FUU and leave the phone in that mode, or reboot the phone, then reboot to bootloader, then do “htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU” and then launch the FUU again (thanks @anarchychris for pointing it out).
- run the fastboot command “htc_fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware with a stock OTA package (not offered on this thread!!). Stock OTA files sometimes need a locked bootloader.
For “Error 170 Check USB" do:
- Sometimes shown when running a RUU or FUU. Indicates issues with drivers. One way to solve is to run the ARUWizard with the phone already in Fastboot mode. Else you will have to re-install HTC Sync manager. Also, avoid USB 3 ports (the blue ones) - they have a complete new driver stack and that doesn't work well currently.
NOT safe to reboot / Flash (partly) happened Errors (if you encounter one of them, DON’T reboot:
- 152 Image Error - Phone Screen shows a little triangle beside a full green bar
For “Error 152 Image Error" do:
- Error 152 is quite rare, have seen it only once with a friend’s phone and it aborted the flash nearly at the end. The flash was started by the FUU. We could resolve the matter by NOT rebooting the phone and flashing the zip again through a manual fastboot flash as outlined further up.

Yep. That's straight up stolen (copy/pasted) from @Sneakyghost's threads.
EDIT: That's probably who he meant. Just got the name wrong I would guess by looking at the "Android Ghost" name again

Yeah, hard to tell what OP is talking about, if they don't even get the name right.
Also completely unnecessary of him to clutter up the board by copy and pasting huge amounts of text when a link can be provided (or refer to a thread, if he can't link).

What exactly did you try to flash (file name and source - describe the thread or obfuscate the link if you need to)?
You understand that a firmware is not a ROM, and a stock recovery is not a ROM?
You need to describe in detail, exactly what steps you have tried. Otherwise, I have no idea what you are trying to do, or how to fix it.

What exactly did you try to flash (file name and source - describe the thread or obfuscate the link if you need to)?
First after a lot of reading, i came to knw you cannot ruu with custom recovery installed. for that i need to have stock recovery. Now i have no clue which one to flash. However, i went ahead and flashed 6.20.709.2 stock recovery. Now i tried
flashing that ruu downloaded from gsm developers. but i failed with it.

Being very honest, i have very little knowledge, its a new learning for me. I never knew firmware is not a rom and recovery is not a rom.

Now to revert back i am trying to find out which ruu i should download?
Now am downloading another ruu from this link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059058090
it says : M8_UL_m60_SENSE70_MR_hTc_Asia_Tw_6.20.709.2
My device id belongs to India when i googled hence i m searching for these ruu. I wanted to try sunshine s off so that change the mid and cid to eu version and then try different ruu. Sunshine keeps giving me an error while running the initial tests it requires an non debuggable boot.img. So that doesnt help either.
do you require anymore info ? i can give u remote access if it requires.

Being very honest, i have very little knowledge, its a new learning for me. I never knew firmware is not a rom and recovery is not a rom.

First after a lot of reading, i came to knw you cannot ruu with custom recovery installed. for that i need to have stock recovery.

This is completely incorrect. You can RUU with custom recovery installed. You only need stock recovery to do an OTA update, which is completely different from an RUU.

How on earth would you ever even flash that? The file name is not an exe or a zip: 0P6BIMG_M8_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_India_6.15. 720.2_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_F_re lease_469495_signed_2_4_gsmdevelopers.com (1)
Did you rename the file? If so, renamed it to what?
Did you try to flash with fastboot, or put on SD card?
When you flashed it, what was the mode of failure (what were the results, specific error messages, etc.)?
How big is the file (MB)?

Now to revert back i am trying to find out which ruu i should download?
Now am downloading another ruu from this link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059058090
it says : M8_UL_m60_SENSE70_MR_hTc_Asia_Tw_6.20.709.2

That RUU won't work (wrong CID and MID). You need a RUU that has version number"720" , not 709.
The number in the position x.xx.720.xx specifically refer to your version M8 (CID and MID).
EDIT: fixed a typo, the number in red in the last line should read 720.

You didn't even provide any of the info I requested in my last post.
All you did was provide yet another link, with no info of how you found it. So I have no idea if its legit, signed, etc. (if its not signed, you can't flash it with s-on).

So the command you used was actually as follows? htc_fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
Is so please next time be sure to tell us the actual exact command you used, not just cut/paste from instructions or whatever.
Is the bootloader currently LOCKED or UNLOCKED?
Are you the one that unlocked the bootloader, put custom recovery, and MIUI ROM on it?

Bootloader is currently unlocked. Since you said i can run ruu in custom recovery also. I went and reinstalled custom recovery twrp 2.7 from Hasoons All in one Kit.

Sorry if you felt i copy pasted, it not . I am multi tasking between my office and phone. Apologies if i did sound so.

Okay, one really important point I need to make: One should absolutely be sure to research and learn, and understand all the processes before modding any phone.
In particular, you shouldn't be modding the phone, without knowing how to return it to stock. You should always have an "escape" strategy to revert the changes you make, return to stock, etc.
Did you make a TWRP backup before flashing a custom ROM? You should always do this, its just basic good practice when modding phones. If you had done so, you would have an easy way to restore the stock, unrooted ROM.

It won't work. You need version numbers with 720, not 709.
I see in my last post, I said you needed 720 (which is correct) then a typo which implies you need 709 (not correct). So there may have been some confusion or conflicting info there.
Also, that version is too old (software number 1.54). You can only run RUU with equal or greater version than the firmware on the phone, which in your case is 4.xx.

RELOCKED is the important part. Not sure why you got in error , but it looks to be properly relocked to run RUU.
Was it RELOCKED or UNLOCKED when you tried the RUU 6.20.709.2 and got Error 12: Signature Error?

In fact i did have twrp back up. bt i had kept this sd card in my wallet. I broke the sd card by mistake. thats how i lost it.

OP cannot install RUU 0P6BIMG_M8_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_India_6.15. 720.2 on his current firmware version.

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B65000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__038​He needs to install the signed 6.15.720.2 firmware first before install the RUU zip
Easier method is - install RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed.exe
Download from : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
then OTA to 4.18.720.10 then later to 6.15.720.2
Or restore 4.18.720.10 backup & install 4.18.720.10 stock recovery (yeah .. skip a version) then OTA to 6.15.720.2

[SOLVED]No system installed, H3G__001, S-ON, Relocked, No recovery

Hello everyone, The story with my htc is that an error "Unfortunately settings has stopped" popped up so I went into bootloader and formatted the device, now once the device booted I couldn't get trough setup as the same message popped up over and over so couldn't do anything, then I decided to unlock the bootloader and install twrp so that a custom ROM would work, but once I installed twrp I wouldn't boot system or recovery... so I tried to flash stock recovery but that failed so clever and tired me relocked the device and now the device is relocked and when I attempt to unlock it fastboot claimed a "success" but phone still shows relocked and twrp doesn't want to flash
you must me curious why didn't I just flash the ruu? Well... for this device its cid is H3G__001 and if I can't find a ruu for that that would be correct with the details of the device that would be great

I linked ruu.lalleman.net because your were looking for your RUU.
You have to UNLOCK your bootloader again before flashing TWRP with HTC_fastboot
