Okay so, I had a problem of having no OS and had my htc m8 on soft brick for a while but i finally got that resolved by flashing a new rom on it. ( Here it is if you want to read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-installed-transfer-files-t3018626)
Unfortunately, I wasn't getting wifi on it. I tried 2 other roms and still no dice. I read online that i needed to update my firmware to do that. To do that, I needed to relock my bootloader so I did and the firmware flashed successfully.
Now my hboot is 3.19 instead of 3.16 and my bootloader says RELOCKED.However, when i go into recovery mode, my phone shows a picture of the dead android. I can't get past the bootscreen either so my phone is stuck on bootloader mode.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712 to help me get my phone unlocked again cause the unlock code at htc dev wont work again.
However, when i write adb devices, no serial number shows up now. adb shell says no devices connected.
I tried pushing and flashing a new recovery and rom in cmd and it said it failed.
I'm really grasping at straws at this moment since I can't really do anything.
Are you sure you are updated? In the bootloader, what does it say for "os"?
And what roms are you trying to flash? 4.4.4 or Lollipop?
And to unlock bootloader, start over at HTC Dev. See what happens. Instead of trying old code.
You can't flash a recovery with a locked bootloader.
I'm pretty sure it updated because everything looks different. Bootloader's background is black instead of white now too. When I flashed the firmware, everything seemed to be okay as well. . .
my OS says 3.11.1700.5
and i tried it at dev and generated a code, but it gave me an error and didn't give me a file. I tried to use my old file but that didnt work.
Personally, in your situation now..... I'd flash the correct RUU for your device, then use Sunshine to s-off. Then you'll be bootloader unlocked also and can flash recovery, root and all that.
You'll need the same Android version RUU that matches your firmware now.
See this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Without Sunshine... I can't say why HTC Dev isn't helping.

I can't flash a recovery because the bootloader is Relocked. I can't unlock it cause my phone wont get detected in adb devices.
I tried manually updating drivers as well. :/

Have you tried flashing a recovery using Hasoon2000 HTC one all in one ?. I had the same problem as you i flashed TWRP then I installed android revolution Hd Rom and it solved my problem but as I said try it may not work as your boot loader is locked..... You can also use the all in one too unlock boot loader might be worth a try

Like I said, recoveries wont flash cause its stuck on Relocked mode. I cant fix that because adb devices wont see my phone.
All the other commands on the All-in-One root kit gives me this:" 'C:\Users\Admin' is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file " regardless of where i do it. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
I tried to put the 0p6bimg.zip file but it wont copy on to my sd card cause of some error saying not responding or disconnected.
I tried flashing it instead but it said the file was too large
I tried the latest firmware but it said Failed! verification error.
I tried using the RUU to update and it stopped on the 1/7 process saying Error 155: Unknown Error.
I think what i need to do and how to fix it but I just need adb devices to find my phone.
If i can do that I can unlock my bootloader, install a recovery, install a rom and be home free but I can't do that until it detects my phone. I've tried everything now including reinstalling my drivers three times now.
Please help :'(
You don't need adb devices to see the device. You need to put the phone in the bootloader and type fastboot devices.
Open the command prompt inside the folder where also the fastboot.exe file is located.
Like Mr Hofs said...The bootloader gets unlocked in bootloader/fastboot mode.
Last I remember the code to get the token was "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and not "adb oem get_identifier_token" or "adb flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ...

No, you guys. I already said this. I already used the htc dev the first time to get my phone unlocked. I had to relock it to flash a firmware. Now I can't unlock it again.The token isn't working. I already used the token once and its not working for the second time. I need adb devices to use adb shell. That way I can adb push revone and unlock my bootloader, but im not sure if that would work either.
Edit: I tried htc dev by generating a code 3 times. It generated different ones, the last one worked.
Ok something is still wrong.
I flashed cwm 6.0.4.8, did a full wipe, installed supersu and installed the android revolution rom. When I reboot, it says I am not rooted, root now? I pressed yes and it reboot.
The phone goes into htc bootscreen for 2 minutes, reboots again and then goes into recovery mode. What do I do now?

Try flashing the boot.img again.
Clear the Cache.
If it still doesn't work then it might be best to just flash the ROM again.
Is your bootloader still show GPE version no. ?
If yes, how do you expect to flash a Sense ROM on GPE partition ?

Hello,
I have now completely made my PrimoU useless.
For weeks I try to get the CM10 from Lloir working but it never got over the booting screen. So I tried several things, but never came further. Flashing back to my first rom always worked. I tried to unlock bootloader again (thought, maybe it isn't) but it was unlocked. Therefore I tried to lock it to maybe start from scratch.
That was a big mistake, because since then, I am stuck on bootloader. On the top in pink is written "Relocked" "Security warning". No recovery, no starting to the software. I gave it up.
Can anyone help me? I only have a Mac. Is there ANY possibility to just set the whole phone back to Factory form? So no bootloader unlocking, no custom rom, no recovery? I am really thinking about changing it back to this and maybe sell it afterwards. I used HTC Desire for two years with several custom roms and everything. Always could work with it. This device is unfortunately not the same.
But at first I hope anyone can help me to get this back booting with Mac?
Thanks to you all in advance
Moved to Q&A. Please ask all questions there.
Try this ./fastboot-mac flash unlock Unlock_code.bin
You have unlocked it again
You should have it in your email...
Then download the latest boot.img and zip file from cm10 and transfer the Rom zip to your sdcard....
Check development section for cwm recovery 6...download and rename it to recovery.img
Flash it by
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img
Flash boot.img by renaming it and
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery and flash the cm10 zip file....

Thank you all, I used this way:
I installed Virtualbox to use a xp system to unlock bootloader again.
After that I still wasn''t able to install CM10. Whatever I do, it always sticks at the bootscreen.
I then tried the new Modaco Vanilla Rom, and it worked without ANY problems. Now I use this for start... It seems as Jelly Bean is not possible for me...

Your problem with CM10
The problem was probably you didn't flash the kernel because if you did then you would have to flash a stock kernel to return to your original rom. Just some advice for future reference
Okay, so i was just scrolling through my apps, then my phone randomly restarts, and wont go past the HTC Beats screen, and when it does, the screen is just black.
So i restart into bootloader, and it says "Locked" at the top, so it appears its relocked itself?
WHAT DO I DO? WAS rooted and running Revolution HD-9.8 ROM.
Thanks

The most important thing you didn't tell is that the RUU flashed successfully, and that the phone didn't boot up. And that your bootloader goes from unlocked to LOCKED instead of relocked as it should......

Is your recovery CWM or stock? If you were running ARHD I suppose you had a custom recovery aswell?
As far as i know RUU won't work until you flash stock recovery.
Hope this helps

Did he try to flash a custom rom despite the fact the boorloader says locked? Maybe it just says locked but is actually unlocked? Happend to me once and after rebooting into bootloader after flashing it said unlocked... dont ask why, just happened...
Yes i believe he tried that too, got faile attempt remote not allowed error.....he rebooted the bootloader a couple of times and it said unlocked indeed, maybe that's the solution....keep rebooting the bootloader untill it says unlocked and then start flashing directly
Its giving me a headache ..... Been thinking about this for 2 days already

You don't need to flash anything to use an ruu. The only thing that you need is a locked bootloader.
As the other user said. It may be reporting status wrongly. If you're going to try the ruu again. I suggest running fastboot OEM lock first just to make sure

Hi Peeps. Appreciate any help here.
Recently got 02 faulty Desire HD from someone. No idea what he did. One of it has a bootloop, while the other is just stuck on the HTC logo. I will just concentrate my problem on the device with the bootloop as it seems to have a higher chance of recovering.
Was able to boot to HBoot and shows me this screen. I will type it out as I have no access to camera for now.

Bootloader status does not affect ability to take OTAs.
You need two things mainly to take the OTA:
1. Stock recovery matching your current software
2. An untouched backup image of the system partition matching your current software. This is needed if you're currently rooted.
Both can probably be found in the thread you linked. The backup image is flashed from twrp. The stock recovery is then flashed from download mode using this command:
Fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
But even after doing that, you might still get an error when trying to take the OTA. Easiest way to take it is to start from scratch, backup your phone's contents to your pc or sd card, and then run the latest ruu for your phone. This will bring you up to date, and will also allow you to make a backup system image from twrp before rooting so that you can easily take future OTAs. The ruu will also completely wipe your phone's contents.
So you can try the first method I mentioned, and if it doesn't work go with the ruu.
As your brother may root it before so the system may got modify, in this case the best and easiest way is flash a RUU.
Try this RUU, http://dl3.htc.com/application/[email protected]_79.07_F_release_495903_signed_2.exe
A RUU will restore your HTC 10 back to stock and wipe out everything. It require a match CID or super CID, if not it will not flash.
I tried to flash RUU via sd card method as well as fastboot method. Both got failed
sd card: Header Error
fastboot: load_file: could not allocate 1950335038 bytes
error: cannot load '2PS6IMG.zip'

This RUU worked perfectly. And no the phone was not rooted, just unlocked Bootloader and TWRP as Recovery.

So I run in another Problem. I got the latest OTA for Europe (July Security Patch) but now my Phone gets shown as uncertified in the google play app which means I can not download certain apps like Netflix via Appstore.
Now I already figured out why I get shown uncertified: the Bootload is still unlocked. I thought the RUU would fix this as well. And if I wanna go in to the recovery (there was an TWRP Recovery on it before) I just get a red triangle with an "!" in it. It wont boot into recovery. Had to hard reset the phone to be able to boot normally to android then.
Now I wanna flash the stock recovery and lock the Bootload again to get again the certified status from google again.
Now here I need help.
1. Can't find the matching recovery version (EU unlocked, July Securtiy Patch, 2.41.401.41). Can anyone help me find the recovery image I need?
2. How do I get the bootload locked again? My Brother unlocked it via HTCdev.com back then, that I know already. But the command fastboot oem lock does not work at all. It just does nothing.
So how can I lock the bootloader?
Thanks for the help.
If you ran the RUU you already have stock recovery...red triangle with an "!" in it.
Are you running the fastboot oem lock from bootloader or download mode?

Haha well then everything is ok with the recovery ^^
I tried both (download and bootloader mode), both times nothing happens. In download mode my PC does not even recognize the phone as the command "adb devices" does not list my phone and the command "fastboot oem lock" does nothing. HTCsnyc installed and ofc adb shell, worked even as when I normally checked with adb devices when my phone was on it was recognized.

Alright this command works and shows my device.
Now I am in bootloader (Shows Software Status: Modified; Unlocked, S-ON). Then I type in "fastboot oem lock" and I get:
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.014s
Well at least now I get something, before just nothing happened. Any clue what I might do wrong here?
*edit*
So I am a big noob
Phone has to be in download mode then the command works and my phone shows me a message if I want to lock again. Unfortunately it will factory reset my phone as well (at least it says that) so I have to backup my data (again) first.
But thank you for your help, appreciate it.
Cheers!
So I did lock the phone again and flashed again the RUU.exe BUT again my Phone shows in Bootloader Software Status as Modified...and it shows as Relocked.
So how do I get it to official status again?

By buying sunshine S-OFF. Only way to see the bootloader back to "locked" instead of "relocked"

Ye found a thread to it. But seems I dont need it. My Phone gets shown as certified again at google play store so I assume just "relocking" the bootloader seems to be enough.

Hello there,
After unlocking my bootloader, flashed a new recovery twrp I tried to enter the recovery mode. It keeps showing a red message saying "This build is for development purposes only" and after a while reboots to bootloader menu without allowing me to enter recovery mode. Any guesses?
Thank you in advance!
Which recovery version did you flash? And what did you do to enter recovery mode?

Hello,
It's the twrp-3.0.2-2-pme.
When phone is off, I push the volume down and the power button to enter to download mode, after that boot to bootloader and to recovery. That is when an HTC logo appears with this strange red message and after a while it reboots to bootloader mode.

Does download mode show that it is Unlocked for sure?
You may need to do the RUU for your exact model to get things right again.

This phone is new to you I assume since you stated that you've just unlocked the bootloader, but your CID is changed to SuperCID and that wouldn't be done without some previous modifications?
You have a Sprint device (according to your MID), so SuperCID is useless. You can only use Sprint firmware on a Sprint model.
What does it say next to "OS" in download mode? It should be x.xx.651.x
I would suggest you run the newest Sprint RUU. The RUU will wipe your phone, but since it's new to you that shouldn't matter. Plus unlocking the bootloader already wiped it.
Click on this link.
Scroll down to the "Manual System Update Instructions" and read them. The RUU download is at the end of the instruction.
After you've run the RUU, flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 again and it should work.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the red warning "This build is for development purposes only". That is nothing to worry about. You get it after you unlock the bootloader

Yes it does.
I'll try to put the stock RUU again and flash directly the twrp, without unlocking the bootloader.

Thank you very much for your time,
So, if I get it right, I put the stock RUU again and without unlocking the bootloader (as I previously did), I will flash directly the twrp. Right?

Once unlocked, the bootloader remains unlocked forever or until you give Android tools command to relock.
Running the Sprint RUU will most likely fixxxx it...
And yes, after you have it running right, boot to download mode and flash the newer TWRP that someone here recommended.
Then root with SuperSU or Magisk v14 and above, or install a custom rom from great choices here.

No. Leave the bootloader unlocked. You don't need to relock it, and it should remain unlocked after the RUU has run.
You can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader

Ok ok, sorry but this is my first time with this kind of stuff, so... I will flash the twrp and then I will try to install the official unlocked ROM

No need to be sorry.
Don't bother flashing TWRP first. When you run the RUU it will install the stock recovery and TWRP will get overwritten.
Run the RUU, then install TWRP after.

I put the stock SPRINT RUU, flashed the TWRP, wiped data, adb pushed the supersu.zip file into the phone and flashed it. After the flash was successful I reboot the system but it isn't setting. After the HTC logo on the starup it reboots automatically to bootloader.. :$
reboot reason: 0x776655aa
reboot message: KP: init PC:adsp_boot_store+0x2cc/0x368 LR:ad sp_boot_store+0x2cc/0x368

I'll send you a PM to ask for some info to check if your device is indeed a Sprint one. With SuperCID enabled (and s-off obviously), it's hard to tell what has been done to you phone.

Do you have custom recovery or stock?

Here is a guide I found on web showing how to boot into recovery (Stock as well as Custom)

Hey,
I have already solved this problem, but thank you very much!
Now I have another one:
I put the stock SPRINT RUU (because my cell phone is a sprint unlocked), flashed the TWRP, wiped data, adb pushed the supersu.zip file into the phone and flashed it. After the flash was successful I reboot the system but it isn't setting. After the HTC logo on the starup it reboots automatically on bootloader.. :$
