I SIM unlocked and CID unlocked from http://www.imei-check.com/dashunlock.php, downloaded the Bootloader update, and the HTC shipping ROM from Rapidshare, ran the bootloader update, all is well the phone goes into bootloading screen. But it would then tell me the phone is not connected via USB. ActiveSync is on prior to all this and well connected. Would it matter if I was on Windows Vista? It should still work shouldn't it?
Yup, plugged it into my buddy's XP setup and all is well. The HTC executables have some bug preventing it to finish the flash I guess.
No ... it is NOT HTC's problem ... it is VISTA's and MS crap that's preventing the user ...etc

Wow thanks! I was hoping not to find a WinXP machine everytime I needed to flash my ROM.
Hey guys,
I've a desire and decided to sell it but before that, i need to unroot it. I'm willing to pay.
Anyone interested?
Are you branded and do you know what was your software version out of the box.
What do you mean by branded? I got the set from M1 though..
I can't recall the orginal version but currently it is 2.13.707.1 after rooting with unrevoked.
Okay so you are in Singapore and need an Asian RUU.
Sounds like you have rooted but have not installed a custom ROM.
Download this RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Turn off your phone;
Turn on your phone holding the back button;
You have now entered "fastboot";
Plug you phone via the usb cable to the PC and then start the RUU.
And thats all?? No gold card or whatever sort of complex steps to get it unrooted?
If that's the correct ROM you won't need a gold card, it'll just work. If you get any error messages then chances are you were on another ROM originally
A gold card is only needed to move to a ROM not originally on your handset, e.g. I have an x.xx.405.x Desire so can only flash x.xx.405.x RUUs without a gold card
You need a goldcard if you are branded (for example having splash screen when booting and preinstalled apps by your carrier) and flashing a ROM or an update that is different software version from what you bought your phone with in the first place.
You should be unrooted just by doing the above.
After successful rooting i didn't do anything to the phone so it should work right? What will happen if it doesn't work? Will the phone be bricked?
No, just follow the steps and you will be unrooted.
I got this when i try running the ruu
error 5001 "please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications
Does it matter on what OS i'm doing this from? I'm currently using windows 7
Run it as admin.
Right click on the RUU and choose "run as administrator" (or sort of that).
RUUs run fine in Windows 7, I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have no issues.
Obviously can't have any other programs installing when running an RUU as it is an installer in itself
I tired running as admin but still the same error pops up. I read from somewhere that HTC sync needs to be installed for it to work?
You don't need htc sync when you are in fastboot mode.
It's possible that the RUU which is a self-extracting archive can't be extracted properly. Check if you have the whole file and it's not corrupted, be sure that you have enough space to extract it (you probably have it).
Run the RUU on a fresh restart of the windows.
If you got another windows machine at hand you can do it on it.
Thanks for the help guys!
also you might want to check out many tutorials HOW TO on this forum or youtube etc
Hey guys,
I have an unlocked At&T M8 which I'm currently using in the UK, but for some reason won't receive OTA updates (still stuck on 4.4.3). HTC Sync doesn't seem to work either, with it stuck on 'loading data'. So I stupidly decided to flash a rom without backup...
Since my hboot is still 3.16, WiFi doesn't work on any with any of the roms i have flashed. Is there anything I can try to at least get the WiFi working without paying $25 for sunshine? I can't seem to find a rom that supports 1.x firmware; if anyone could point me in the direction that would be awesome.

Run the AT&T RUU. Personally, I would gain S-Off and convert to WWE/Europe. But the RUU is your best second option.
You can find the RUU and instructions on how to update your system manually on the official US HTC website. Link here.
Realize that RUNNING THE RUU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!!! So make sure to backup anything that is important to you.

Thank you, however HTC sync doesn't work so I downloaded the RUU from the link. The installer automatically shuts off after I accept licensing (I have relocked bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode). The only PC in my house is running windows 8.1 :crying:
I even tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235, but windows won't let me open the rom.zip. Is there another way to flash the RUU on to my phone?
Also, do I need to download a recovery image if I'm using the RUU?

Its a somewhat common issue. Might be the Win version, or USB 3.0 ports. If your PC has USB 3.0 ports, I saw a user mention you can turn off this function (make them 2.0) and that seemed to help the RUU.
Otherwise, you might need to borrow a friend's PC.

That guide is very clear what CIDs it works for, and yours is not one of them.

Thank you for the help. I got the RUU to work on a computer running Windows 7.
I know I have to relock the bootloader to have the RUU work, but the computer, and thus RUU, doesn't detect my phone in fastboot after relocking my bootloader. Fastboot displays 'fastboot USB', but the RUU doesn't detect anything. Before relocking, the computer detected my phone.
I have installed the latest HTC sync manager, so all the drivers should be installed.

I can't tell if you are asking for more help, or just making a comment (and the RUU ran successfully)?
Having the bootloader locked, relocked or unlocked should have no bearing on whether fastboot connects or not. I think something else is/was going on, and the bootloader lock is just a false symptom/condition.
Hi all,
I have been around xda for a while but don't reply post much. I personally have a OnePlus 2 so I'm more around those sub-forums but recently my fingerprint sensor gave up, so I've given it to Customer Service (You can ask me anything about OnePlus's experience). For the meanwhile, I've taken my friend's HTC One M8 as a backup phone. He hadn't used it for a while and gave it to me. When I switch it on, it is stuck in the bootloader(Screen attached). I am averagely experienced with fastboot/adb/rooting/flashing with OnePlus and Samsung devices. I can't seem to figure out how to get the HTC started.
Could someone help me here? I've been phoneless for the past 5 days I just need to get this phone to the latest stock version, no root. I've been trying to read guides but I am getting confused by new posts.
Kindly help a HTC Newbie out xD
Cheers!
PS: I have no clue about the history of the phone. My friend is not really into flashing or anything as such so he had been using the phone as it is out of the box.
EDIT: I've managed to unlock the Bootloader. Now it says *** UNLOCKED ***
Hi,
best would be to install the HTC drivers on your PC, connect the device, and download the following RUU (ROM Update Utility) to return the device to stock: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed.exe.
Once the drivers are installed the device should show "fastboot USB" instead of fastboot in bootloader. If so execute the downloaded file and let it proceed.

Hello Guys,
I have a major problem getting my HTC M9 back to stock!
My first problem began when i was trying to update my ViberRom from 5.1.1 to Marschmallow, the problem that i had was that my recovery could not update. But when i updated it to 3.0.0 or something like that, i couldn't boot my ViberRom (because that was still 5.1.1).
So in order to fix that problem i thought that i could return my HTC M9 back to stock with an RUU, however since i have the EU/International version (2.10.401.1), i could not use the .exe version HTC provided themselves on their own website. After looking on the internet i found an RUU which corresponded with my version (2.10.401.1) it was a ZIP file so i needed to either flash it or put it on my SD card.
After a while a new problem arose, I have no S-OFF, but after reading several threads i did not matter as long as i had the right RUU version or higher (as well as matching CID, MID). Several articles and threads also mentioned that when i wanted to flash an RUU with S-On i would need to re-lock my bootloader and so i did.
With a locked bootloader i tried flashing the RUU, but everytime when i do it my FASTBOOT.EXE crashes!
Sorry if i am being a NOOB right now, but i really don't know what to do now, My Rom won't boot and i cant acces my recovery. I already treid Unlocking my bootloader again, and after completing every step, including choosing the option to unlock it on the phone itself using the volume buttons, it still states: RELOCKED
I really hope you guys can help me with my problem!!
Kind regards,
Roan

Fastboot crashes because it can't handle files over 2 GB. There is a different fastboot you need to use called htc_fastboot. Search the forum for a link. Or I'll find one if i can. Commands are exactly the same as fastboot, just add "htc_" in front of fastboot.
