Did you tried upgrading to 4.4.4 via OTA? Check for updates.

If you can get your hands on a ruu with the same version number as yours or a higher one then you can update via ruu. Otherwise its a factory reset (which didn't give results) or go back to the seller. S-on + locked bootloader = definitely warranty
Other options :
Unlock the bootloader (which may break warranty) and re-install the stock software. I think you can find it in the general section - collection of stock backups and firmwares.

What's the error at that point ? And make sure you read up first on how to and what you are doing. As i said it may break warranty. So if you have that i suggest to collect warranty before attempting any options yourself

Try a couple of times and also new unlock tokens. Seen many reports people had to try several times for it to stick

you installed an OTA?
I'm using a Stock from a recovery Nandroid, not mine but the same CID 044... I guess I shold go back to RUU...but I've tried without any success
I can't even use my RUU file...donno why... I have this file: (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed) and It works, not now but It used it once...do you have a suggestion so I can use it again??

I'm not...I'm on 2.17 yet...JB update does not install...that's the main problem
and I have noticed that NO MATTER I CHANGE...IT WONT CHANGE THIS VERSION... OMG
tks man!
You need to relock your bootloader (if you haven't already) and run THIS RUU.
The problem is that the version of software you're running (2.17) is newer than the RUU you're trying to install (1.29). you can't revert to an older RUU. you can only flash the same version or newer.
Once you've flashed the RUU, you'll be able to download and install the JB OTA.

Thank you very much man, You renew my faith!!
It will work like a FORMAT SYSTEM with the same Rom?
I'll keep in touch!!
Also, this may sound silly but did you reflash stock RECOVERY?

You don't need stock recovery to flash an RUU. You just need a locked or relocked bootloader, and a less or equal main-version.
Once you run an RUU, you will have stock everything(including recovery) and will be able to install whatever OTAs are available.
Well I am currently running Team Venom's Viper but I have HBOOT 1.31. My device's CID is HTC_J15.
I have checked the list of RUUs but unfortunately all of them are older than the version I need, which has to be 3+.
Does anybody know if there's an RUU available for my device? It is an ubranded WWE version, 401 if I remember correctly.

In my experience the 2.17.707.xx RUU Asia WWE does not work properly. It does its thing installing everything, relocks the bootloader but somehow it does not reflash the recovery. After 4 hours trying everything under the sun, I gave up and looked for a nandroid of 2.17 for CID_044 and restored from that, reflashed stock recovery and went to town with the OTA.
That's very strange, no such problem when I did the same thing. You'd think it would throw an error or something if a component of the image failed to flash.
Glad you managed to figure it out!
Did you run it when your bootloader was unlocked? Maybe that's the problem? I ran it with the bootloader relocked and didn't ahve any problems. I was under the impression you couldn't run an RUU with an unlocked bootloader, but haven't tried it myself.
Refer custom to stock thread posted earlier. Go through step by step procedure. It will help u to be on stock Rom. After that flash any Rom suitable to your CID only

Got It guys!!
What I did... NOTHING else...
Only Reboot the phone...wait to initialize completely, then reboot again, when came a little update about 1.25mb...installed and reboot...after that...JB update installed correctly.
If someone else needs...Someone like me who relocked the phone waiting for JB and Has problems
1. Unlock Phone
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (from nandroid 2.17)
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (from nandroid 2.17)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. restart bootloader (I like to do this way)
6. Install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed on windows
7. Wait to boot completely, then restart phone.
8. Update Software ...a little update came before JB. (about 1.25mb)
9 Reboot phone.
10. Update Software... finally to JB.
Thanks guys!

The RUU ran with no problem, and it relocked my bootloader, but it still did not receive any OTAs. So I had no choice but to do a nandroid restore instead (recommended anyway )

Have you installed the proper drivers on your PC?
Before installing RUU, try the command "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognizing your device.
Edit: You'll have to do that from a folder with fastboot in it or you have to have fastboot in your PATH info.

Yeah, but actually this one still seems like doesnt sort out my issue, I did find the right nandroid backup and I would flash it in recovery if I had any..
Don't forget that right at the beginning I was about to go for stock Rom, so I did flash stock recovery and I locked the bootloader.... So the question now is if I can flash again some recovery (which one) while my bootloader is relocked. Or should I go ahead and do relock the bootloader again and than flash recovery...? Sorry but I am still a bit lost, and I dont wanna my HOX to become a brick.... Thx

Looks like you can't go back to stock, there is no RUU, no nandroid backup.
You could still ask if somebody is willing to post a nandroid backup for your CID and version, and in the meanwhile you can unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery and flash a ROM (+boot.img) of your choice that fits your hboot version.

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything.

I believe that you need to lock the bootloader first before you accept the update

well you can check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62184307&postcount=405
Edit: those links for getting ur device in stock state not flashing MM firmware but i found it useful to share
The linked instructions are obsolete since the backups they were made for do not exist anymore. The updated instructions and the revised backups can be found in my google sheet (a link is in my signature).
But be informed that there is no official MM update for other versions of the M9 than the developer and the unlocked US version. If you want MM on any of the other models you need either S-OFF, sneakyghosts firmware package and the latest Viper rom or S-OFF and all files found in clsA's instructions for converting your M9 to a developer edition.
the Only way to back is flash RUU.and the cid must same and RUU's version must equal or higher than your M9 have

That's not true. If you follow the instructions in my google sheet then you can use a TWRP backup, too.

A working RUU for 2.10.401.1 doesn't exist and I didn't want to bother myself with uploading the existing broken one. Use the TWRP backup.

The bootloader only gets locked if you relock it with fastboot. (And because many people here seem to be missinformed: There is no need to relock if you want to install OTAs or flash a RUU.zip. The only things that don't work with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader are using a RUU.exe and flashing official firmware packs with fastboot.)

Thank you !

Might have bricked my phone

Stupid mistake, just trying to get a usable phone back, dunno how.
Rooted it, Recovery TWRP.
decided want a custom rom, Android Revo 20.
didnt backup, woops.
was useless, googled, needed different firmware, flashed that somehow.
phone got worse.
reinstalled TWRP
tried to download a backup, 2 even, both dont work.
not sure what to do. think i need another firmware before the backup would work.
any advice will help
currently phone turns on straight to bootloader. can access download mode and recovery.
Bootloader unlocked, S-ON, HTC__J15,

Are you S-OFF?
Did the RUU complete successfully or give you an error?
Was the firmware you flash for your Model M9 or another one?

What's your Model?
If youre S-OFF and firmware/RUU are not helping. You're probably trying to flash the wrong ones.

HTC__J15?
3.35.401.12 firmware should work with your Cid,

1.32.401.17
I tried to use 3.35.401.12 backup but it still booted to bootloader
You have to flash 3.35.401.12 firmware in download mode before using the backup
and i cant flash firmware while S-ON right? i think i tried flashing higher firmware and it gave me that error.
so ill find 1.32.401.17 backup or rom and that should work?
