You dug up a post from 9 months ago, that might not be your exact same issue.
The error messages imply that the wrong RUU is being run for the device. It needs to match your CID and MID. And if you are s-on, it has to be equal or more recent version RUU that was is installed on the phone (no "downgrading").
But you haven't stated what version (CID, MID) of the M8 you have, what RUU you are trying to run, and whether you are s-on or s-off.

HELP
Hello
first thank you for reply
i tried to flash "Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_34.6_3703c7.zip" and its work but sometimes the device is restarting

Did you modify your MID (model number)? Your product number (m8_whl) is right for Sprint, but the MID is for Europe GSM version (0P6B10000).
RUU is failing due to wrong MID.
To verify, you do have the Sprint version?

As I already told him in the sticky Q&A, he most probably bought a second hand, already S-OFF phone., super CID.
m8_whl is sprint edition, regular one and is CDMA and he probably tried first to flash a GSM rom (ARHD doesn't support CDMA) and that RUU is for 4.20.654.10 (sprint) and you need one for 4.16.401.10 (international), and that is why the RUU failed. You or someone messed with this phone
He need a sprint recovery and a sprint rom and best bet is to go to sprint m8 forum.

I follow what you are saying, with exception of this line. OP has Sprint version, so I believe he can flash RUU for either "regular" or HK editions with s-off (according to the Sprint RUU thread here). I don't see how the international RUU figures in, and he certainly should not install that.
It also seems the MID was changed to be the "international" MID, either by him or previous owner. Nothing good can come from this, so he should change back to Sprint MID.

Poor choice of words, was trying to explain that this is why the RUU failed. In fact, I think he bought the phone with 401 flashed already. Sprint firmware should be flashed, then just go with the usuall recovery and roms

I think you are right, the previous owner probably tried to flash 401 firmware. Its the only reason (albeit a very ill-advised one) I can see to change to the "international" MID.

[Q][SOLVED] Need help with bricked Desire Z - S-ON | Stuck on white HTC logo

Hi, can some one respond to this? perhaps I bricked my Z doing:
I had rooted and S-OFF and I flashed PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip"
as I wanted to return to original stock rom. I did it from Goldcard SD card, what I prepared before. By doing this I lost root but remained S-OFF
Than I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock go to S-ON and I managed this. Everything was going smooth so later when I was non root and S-ON, an OTA update came and I confirmed. Also next OTA update 2.3.3 T-mobile came with 73MB update and I confirmed too later. But the phone stucked after second update to 2.3.3 on HTC Logo and does not boot system.
- Hboot works
- recovery does not work (red attention mark)
- I have working fastboot and adb from PC
- phone is now S-ON and not rooted
... but not sure how to continue
tried flash new recovery but all fastboot end up like this:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img
sending 'recovery' (4466 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.770s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.261s
I can not flash another PC10IMG.zip as it says, no valid ID.
Really sucked here.
Anyone some good ideas or phone is postmortem?
You flashed a g2 rom on your dz?
I'd say grab the lastest rom from http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
and flash it via ruu mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip nameOfZip.zip)
-Nipqer
Yes I did
I tried now as per your advise, but I have signature errors, tried two zips, same result.
Code:
$ fastboot flash zip Vision_TMOUS_1.12.531.0_Radio_12.18.60.05P_26.01.00.17_M2_144460.zip

thanks. all images and I tried about 6 different including RRU I got from exe and gained from temp dir gives:

HBOOT drops back to main menu, recovery says this error message.
any more hints?
Could you join the #G2ROOT irc channel on freenode It'll be easier to try help you there.

Solved by creating GC by different method. Looks we did not have working GC before.
Can you be a bit more specific?

So right now, it's not completely bricked.
It's a branded (Three Ireland) DHD, and after attempting to downgrade the phone, it's been constantly stuck at the operator logo (prior to the HTC logo) and won't go any further than that , even after leaving it for a good few hours. The only thing at the moment that can save it (that I'm aware of) is through an RUU.
What I've noticed is that after the attempted downgrade, the cidnum isn't the appropriate one for my network. According to this, it's the UK version instead of the Irish one which is H3G 003.
So after doing some reading, this guide showed me how to edit the androidinfo text file in rom.zip. Unfortunately, everytime I try to save to the archive, it says the archive is corrupt. So I unzipped it, edited it and repacked it. Then I followed that guide to a T (but of course, with a DHD appropriate ROM: RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed) yet I'm getting

INFO Signature fails relate to your sd card. Get a new one.

Ah, brilliant. Well, an SD card isn't inserted into it because the previous one I had was causing the bootloader to freeze D:
Gonna try this now and post updates :3
So, the SD card's gone missing *stares at cat*... and I've yet to buy a new one, which won't be for a week or two. How do I get past that error?

As you are still S-ON or you get your RUU or unfortunately you will need a goldcard to flash a different RUU....try borrowing a not corrupted sdcard just to make the goldcard.

It's S-ON still. Though first time I've been home in 2 days so, I'll see if I can obtain an SD card from friends somehow, thanks :3
There is a H3G UK RUU here:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Not sure if this is the one you need or not.
Managed to borrow an SD card from a friend, gold carded it and successfully unbricked and rooted the device!
Thanks a lot guys!
which is exactly what you were told to do in the previous as you say "messy" thread

[Q] Firmware issues on HTC one m8

Hi guys,
I've just updated my android rev 10.1 to 30.1 but it's stuck in a reboot cycle. Could be because I didn't update the firmware? Still on the older 3.x firmware.
So trying to update firmware - I have the 3.28.401.9 zip in my sdcards root folder but trying to install from zip (TWRP 2.8) it says unable to open zip file, error flashing.

You can't flash firmware via recovery!
Search for vomers firmware thread all instructions are there.
You need an 02 firmware. The wwe ones don't work on your phone. And to flash firmwares you need to be in RUU mode.
But look for your official firmware first. Or return the phone to its original stock rom + recovery and update via official ota's
Thanks! So I had tried to flash via RUU mode but it had errored - presumably cause it rejected the ROM file.
My initial firmware update when I updated to rev10.1 from stock android was from vomer's guide. Should I be downloading 4.16.1540.8 without red text?

I found http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/206/
but that's from 2008 and can't be right for an M8...
sorry to be such a bother - really am in a horrible spot and would really appreciate your help.
Anyone? Please?
Go to the general section and look for the stock backup thread. Have a real good read there and return your phone to FULL stock and update via ota.
This one is the latest O2 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603798
You cant install the Lollipop dev edition firmware when you are on the O2 cid. So or het s-off and change it or wait for OTA from O2.

I'm going to try reverting back to the old version of android rev that I had and see if my phone gets out the reboot loop. If so I'll probably revisit flashing at some later point when I'm less frustrated, ideally first s-off my phone.
if that still doesn't work I'll probably have to return to stock

Maybe your firmware is newer then the link I gave. But with the O2 cid you cant use lollipop with sense. You cant Flash that firmware. So you have to go back on stock.

ah that sucks. ah well.
So to go back on stock, I wan tto use the "Method 2 - flashing RUU (ROM Update Utility)" method. It's not entirely clear on how to do this - do I download the stock recovery 1.54.2016.5 img and folder onto my pc and issue fastboot oem lock command? or does the folder go on the sdcard and the img on my computer? or neither??

Ah man really? What do you dont understand?
If you want to use that RUU to have that developer update to Lollipop you have to change the O2 cid. If you want to change the cid you have to be s-off. Are you not? Use sunshine.

resolved my issue:
- went back to android rev 11.1 (what i was previously using) and wiped device.
- once booted, installed sunshine and went s-off
- updated cid to supercid
- updated firmware to latest 4.x
- updated and wiped into andrdoid rev 30.1
Working like a charm now
Thanks everyone for the massive help!

it's a lot of money for what it is, but to be fair $25 for having a working phone that I can now flash as I like and is now running lollipop was worth it!

Which Version of M8 i am using

I need a Little help regarding identifying my version of M8
I have looked up the imie number on IMIE Data website and found that its a AT&T US Unlocked Phone.
Now when i try to flash the latest firmware for AT&T through RUU file it gets stuck at sending file stage 1/6 .... ( I have waited about 15 minutes, nothing happened)
Then I have also tried to flash unlocked version firmware and this time i have recieved ERROR 155 - IT says the device is not matching with firmware.
After that i have downloaded some apps from play store related to phone info search.
All these apps are suggesting that its a Sprint_WWE phone.
My phone does not have any logo on it or any bloat ware from the career.
I am confused now, which version of M8 i am using and which firmware RUU should i flash?
Please note: My Bootloader is in locked state and official recovery installed. Never rooted or CWM installed.
I am using this phone in Bangladesh right now so OTA is not coming to my phone.
fastboot getvar all without serial & imei no. will tell your device version.
where should i type it in?

It might be AT&T branded, but, according to the CID#, your device is completely unlocked and you can basically flash anything. However, you can't flash an AT&T RUU unless you change the CID# back to the default AT&T CID.
(bootloader) product: m8_whl

isnt this is for sprint?
and how do i get back to the default CID?
i have tried AT&T, SPRINT & Unlocked Version RUU nothing worked.
AT&T RUU Stucked at sending files,
Sprint RUU Gave ERROR 155
Unlocked RUU Gave ERROR 155 As well.

First, remove serial & imei no.
m8_whl is a sprint device.
Don't ever install any GSM firmware on your device, it'll brick the radio
but i am using gsm network here. its not a CDMA device..

Yeah I know you're on GSM network. My advise was never install a GSM firmware like AT&T, Intl GSM & etc. Only Sprint firmware.
then should i set the CID to default Sprint CID? and what is that?
i need help here.. how can i update to lollypop or marshmellow? i have downloaded sprint RUU file but getting error 155. Should i reset the CID to some thing other than "11111111"? please advice.

The Sprint RUU should run fine with SuperCID (11111111).
Error 155 typically means your bootloader is unlocked (which will block RUU). Relock it with the command (run the same way you did fastboot getvar all):
fastboot oem lock

The Sprint version supports CDMA and GSM networks. It doesn't matter whether you are using CDMA or not, its still the "CDMA" (supports CDMA) version of the M8.
But on fasboot im seeing "Botloader status is locked"

1) The product name (m8_whl), model number (0P6B70000), and version number (x.xx.651.xx) all point to this being the Sprint version. The IMEI search coming up with AT&T is odd, and almost certainly incorrect.
2) SuperCID doesn't quite mean you can "flash anything". As ckpv5 pointed out, you can't flash GSM firmware to the Sprint (or Verizon) device, or the result is a radio brick. More commonly, even for the GSM version, you will often need to change the MID to run other version RUUs.
3) The proper version RUU will run fine with SuperCID.

I understand and appreciate you are trying to be helpful. But please try to verify the information, before passing them along. Especially in this case, the advice could have resulted in permanent damage the OP's device.

What error message did you get when trying the RUU?
Is your software number from settings > about? What does it say next to "OS" in bootloader? Or alternatively, what do you get with fastboot getvar version-main?
Says that "get the correct ROM Update Utility for your device".
my model id is OP6B63000 and OS is 3.28.401.9

You can't just run any RUU, it has to be intended for your device's specific MID and CID.
You also have not stated what exact version number RUU you tried to run.
You haven't been clear about how you are determining the model ID (MID) or OS number.
How did you determine the MID? How did you determine the OS number?
Best way is fastboot getvar all
In fact, it's best to perform the command, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
I have tried to install v6.12.1540.4 (.exe) downloaded from the HTC website.
I have got this info through "fastboot getvar all" method

Your MID is for the Asia version M8, while your current firmware is for Euro version.
So which stock 6.0 ROM (Asia or Euro) to install is somewhat up to you. But if it's working on the current Euro firmware, you might want to stick with Euro (flashing another region RUU will change network band support).
If you want to stay on Euro ROM, use the RUU and instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Otherwise, if you want the Asia ROM, use the RUU zip for here (but use the same process with htc_fastboot as the previous method - just with the following RUU zip): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70983904&postcount=7616

Try adb reboot-bootloader
You have to be in bootloader for fastboot commands to work. If you are booted to your system/ROM, then adb comands apply

With s-off and superCID you shouldn't have to.
What RUU are you trying to flash? Maybe give a link to where you downloaded it from.

This won't help the RUU to run. Unlocked bootloader would actually prevent the RUU from installing on a s-on device. Since your phone is s-off, it bypasses that limitation, so it doesn't matter either way (RELOCKED, LOCKED or UNLOCKED) and the RUU will still install if other requirements are met.
You probably need to change the MID. SuperCID usually bypasses the MID check, but not always. This appears to be one of the instances.
