Hi Friends,
First things first - I have looked up and tried several things that other folks facing similar issues have tried. None of it has worked for me.
Coming to the problem now.
It all began when I decided to unroot and install a custom ROM on my stock HTC One X and downloaded a stable build from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru.
I followed the tutorials and unlocked my device and started off with CWM recovery 5.8.2.7. Did some experiemenation with backup and recovery. So far, so good.
I decided to use the 4.4 ROM and as per some information available it needed me to update to CWM 6.0.4.8. I did so but when I tried to go in recovery, the screen went blank. Tried it multiple times without luck.
Then I switched over to TWRP 2.7.1 and used it to install the cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-endeavoru.zip. It failed with status 7. Assert checks on bootloader ver failed (as per checks it would need anything 1.28 or higher). I am on hboot 1.12. I extracted the boot.img from the rom zip and flashed it from fastboot. It showed no change in hboot version (maybe this is where I faulted). It still won't install rom zip as I would expect.
Now the phone won't go beyond "Quietly Brilliant" screen on power on. Recovery to saved backup says its successful but it still gets stuck at same screen on reboot.
Would appreciate help and pointers from anyone who could help.
Thanks in advance,
Kunal

Hi Thant,
Thanks for your tip. I will give this a try (though I will be able to try it out someone later this week only and provide update how it went).
Having said that, I have one question though - the link to RUU you specified looks like for unlocked HTC Europe version. I'm from India and I found that there might be one with same radio for India here.
Not doubting your advice, but just want to know what is the basis for knowing what RUU one must use ?
Also, can I choose the one for India (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_India_3.14.720.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29) ?
thanks,

yes if you want, most of the people like European version not Asian. It is your choice you are S-OFF and you can flash what you want on your phone. And the radio is the same

Hi Thant,
I did try the RUU you told me to use but update failed with error 159.
There are some RUUs for Indian models at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048 but none for JB.
I have provided the getvar dump earlier but can't seem to find what I need to use (sorry for being a noob here). Please suggest what I can do more.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
thanks,

Hi Thant,
I have not yet tried tried the ICS RUU you suggested. But before I go ahead, here's some more info.
The Android version, HTC Sense version both say "Protected"
Software number is "Unknown"
HTC SDK API level is 4.23
Kernel is 2.6.39.4-g7ecc196
Baseband version is 2.1204.135.20
Build no. is 0.1.0.0 (20130509 EndeavorU_Generic_WWE#178434)
Boot loader says -
ENDEAVORU XE ENG S-OFF RH
CID-11111111
HBOOT- 1.12.2000 (PJ461****)
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-2.1204.135.20
Now, should I go ahead with the ICS RUU ?
How do I know what Android version I'm on ? Why would it say protected ? Any command I can fire from fastboot/adb ?
[getvar says (bootloader) version-main: 0.0.0.178434]
Thanks for all your time & help,

Hi Thant,
Before trying what you suggested (for manual update) I tried the ICS RUU once again. It went through fine this time not sure why, then I did an OTA upgrade and now I'm on Android 4.0.4 hboot 1.12 (same as before but on 2.17.720.2). There are no more OTA updates available, though HTC india website says there is one available for 3.14.720.24 which is JB version and should automatically update my hboot which I can then hopefully use to update to 4.4 ROM. Do you think what I think is going to work ?
But I can't find the OTA firmware for 3.14.720.24. There was one available here but no more.
There's one here but not sure about the authenticity of this.
I have downloaded the firmware zip you shared but it seems the file is corrupt.
Thanks,
Kunal
Hey so I had converted my M8 to GPe but am now selling it so I'm putting it back to Sense. Everything's working except for the wifi which I had issues with in the past from not flashing the Telus firmware.zip again from a 4.4.4 OTA file. At this link http://d-h.st/BfV the OTA file is there but there's only two fake looking download buttons that Chrome says both are malicious. One downloads an .exe and the other gets outright blocked. Can anyone help me out with finding the OTA file for Telus?
Thanks, I'm selling the phone in a few hours and am freaking as the wifi doesn't currently work! :/
Bump I just need the firmware.zip for Telus, the official OTA Collection on this forum's links are busted for me at least.

The orange RUU means your phone is stuck in RUU mode, meaning you've not completed the firmware flash, you cant use that OTA file for the firmware, first of all, its the wrong firmware for your phone, and an OTA firmware is not full firmware, its only an update to parts, and 2nd, your phone has developer edition 1540 firmware, you need the full firmware of 3.28.1540.5 full wipe package or the RUU.
RUU zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722643418 flash it like firmware.

Sometimes is a full package, sometimes its not. You're right, that sometimes if not all modules were updated (from the preceding OTA) typically its not a full package (only includes the parts that were updated).
Flashing firmware zips without knowing exactly what you are doing is really dangerous. I've seen folks flash a "partial" firmware, that didn't contain all the bootloader modules; only 2 of the 3, and the one that wasn't updated didn't correspond to the 2 that were. BRICK

My MID is whatever it had to be to be a GPe and my CID is set to SuperCID. I didn't want it to be dev I just needed a firmware that I thought would work and messed up.

if you are s-off, you needed to change your MID and CID to match the firmware you are flashing, if you are still s-off, then you can edit the dev ed firmware you have downloaded, edit the android-info.txt file, change the MID in that file to whatever yours is and add your CID to the text file to whatever yours is too, then save it.
As your phone is already in RUU mode, with it highlighted on the screen, unplug the USB lead, and then plug it back in, should go back to the black screen with silver HTC logo.
DO NOT GO S-ON EVER AT THIS POINT, you'll be flashing a modified firmware, modified with your CID and MID and s-on will lead to an instant brick
Thats if this even works at all :fingers-crossed: only thing I can think of to try as its too late to change your phones MID and CID.

If the RUU was an .exe how can I edit it?
Okay so progress!! I just reflashed a firmware from before and followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGWNtRAkRqs
And now I'm back into fastboot USB and so I can do everything again! So what do I do to get this all fixed up and back to being Telus? Flash the Firmware.zip from the Telus OTA?

noooo, forget the OTA all together, you cant take the chance that its not a full firmware, if its not you'll have a brick.
which firmware "from before" did you flash ?
Change your cid and mid to match the dev edition RUU and then run the RUU.

ok well first of all, you need to change that modelID, I suggest as you flashed the 401 firmware, you may as well stay on that, its world wide english international firmware, however your modelID is for google play edition, you need to change that to WWE, so see here, and make sure you copy and paste the commands, because one slip up with this and you'll have a brick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581 choose the one for HTC Europe MID, ignore the fastboot reboot command at the very end of that instruction set.
then change you cid to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, cid is always 8 characters)
post your fastboot getvar all again once done and we'll take it from there.

yes fastboot usb is correct, but you cant use adb commands in fastboot mode, you use fastboot commands, so type fastboot devices instead.
oh damn, hang on 1 sec.

no, bear with me 1 min, on my M7 there was an app to run in recovery to change the MID, much easier, however, im just wondering if you run those commands in recovery, or within a booted rom.

Sounds good thanks
So I got all greedy and wanted Lollipop sooner than when my provider did an OTA.
I tried a bunch of roms and found that Cyanogen was able to work for my phone (a lot of others gave me that issue where the Wifi wouldn't work, I subsequently worked out this was a firmware issue).
In an effort to try and fix a number of bugs I've been attempting to get S-Off. I downloaded Sunshine but Sunshine told me my ROM wasn't close enough to stock for it. So I put another Rom on it, but then mysteriously I lost root access.
So I did a hard wipe.
And now I find myself unable to install any ROMs on it at all (I'm trying to find a stock Kitkat one that will hopefully run).
So I can't get S-Off. I'm not even sure if it's still rooted (though I do have Philz installed and that loads when I put it into recovery mode). And so I'm not even remotely sure what I should do.
Yay!
Bricked mine too!

I just joined this forum, so I don't know if I should be posting here or on a new thread, so let me know I can delete this, move it if I'm out of line.
I'm in the same boat. Just softbricked my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900a)
Her phone was unlocked AT&T and it auto updated to 5.0 Lollipop update OTA about a week ago.
It's been running like **** so I thought I'd downgrade it to 4.2.2 via ODIN
ODIN (failed) trying to install
G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_G900AUCU1ANCE_HOME.tar.gz
I read in one of these forums that downgrading wouldn't work but they found a work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
Oh yeah and then my phone bricked so there is that, my GF is being really understanding but I'm hoping I can recover this!!!!
Edit: My problem was resolved here

your mistake is using CWM recovery, Sense custom roms require TWRP recovery, so you need to start by flashing the latest version of that.
once flashed, go in and do a full wipe. dont forget after wiping to reboot back into recovery for the changes to take effect, when you go to reboot it will say something like you have no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot, just say yes, and select DO NOT INSTALL to SuperSU, the rom you falsh will be pre rooted.
TWRP latest version supports MTP, so when your in recovery main window, plug your phone into the computer and your sdcard and internal storage will open on your computer, just copy a rom to your sdcard, once copied, unplug your phone and install it.
use something like ARHD 41 or Maximus HD, they are close enough to stock for sunshine to work.
have a look here for a rom, dont download anything too modded or fancy as you'll be coming away from stock then http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development

your going to need s-off and convert your phone im sorry, doesnt seem to be anything about for your phone, firmware or RUU's.
You'll need to convert to get the latest firmware on your phone, unless you have it via an OTA or something like that ? convert to WWE 401 or Dev Edition 1540, currently your on 980 Austraillia Unbranded.
once you get s-off, convert is easy, all you need to do is change your CID number with a fastboot command, change your MID number, flash the firmware for Dev Ed or WWE, and then run the RUU.

Just keeping you updated, finished dowloading the above rom, flashed it and it seems to be working (mind you, my wifi still ain't working with that ROM, but I can live with that). Sunshine is now S-Off-ing as we speak so this is as much progress as I've made in 2 days!!
What should my next step be after getting S-Off?

easiest thing for you to do is change your cid first, change it to WWE HTC__001 the command is fastboot oem write cid HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID number is always 8 characters long)
so with your phone in the bootloader fastboot usb mode and plugged into the computer, run these3 commands
fastboot oem write cid HTC__001
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
next is to change you mid, so enter recovery and put this file on your SDcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779524
install it like you would with a rom, and follow the instructions on screen, when given the options to select mid to change to, select the one for WWE international.
when you have finished those 2 things, post your fastboot getvar all again please, should be a new and updated one, again without imei and serial number

I never bother with superCID, always seems to cause me more headaches than good.
the 2 best cid's to go for in my books are HTC__001 WWE (world wide engish) or BS_US001 Dev edition, they get the fastest updates.

See this guiy here did the same thing, but he is complaining that he's not got the next update yet, it because he hasnt changed his cid number, he needs to be on HTC__001, everytrhing else is done right, this is from the Australlian thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60272806&postcount=662

just MID to change, just wondering, have you flashed some firmware ??? how did you get on this 4.16.1540.8 ??? this is dev edition firmware.
Hello everyone,
I just bought this used HTC M8. It has android version 4.3.3 and software version 2.22.401.5
If I use "Get Var All" function I get that my mobile Model Id is PB0613000 and CID is 1111111
I cannot update OTA. I cannot install Rom manually cause it gives error 155.
My bootloader is locked and S-OFF too.
I have no idea how to install ROM in it and what Rom. I have used unlocked official rom and also the one T-Mobile released officially, Both gave error 155.
Please help me.
Thank you.
If you want to install either Dev Ed or T-Mob 6.xx RUU, you need to flash its firmware first.
e.g. to install 6.20.531.5 RUU, you must flash 6.20.531.5 firmware.zip first.

Hey thanks for letting me know. I am trying to install 6.12.1540.14 on my HTC DEVed.
I changed my MID and CID and installed a stock recovery.
Now I downloaded this file from HTC's website, RUU 6.12.1540.14. Can you tell me where can I download its firmware?

So I flashed my firmware.zip now all I need to do is just launch the RUU file from my computer? Just like HTC website instructions?
I don't need custom recovery for it right?
It fails after 5 minutes on "sending.........." :/
Yes.. just right click the RUU and select run as administrator.
Make sure you run it on Windows PC with usb 2.0
and latest htc usb drivers are installed.

I am doing exactly like this.
I don't know what is wrong.
My MID is 0P6B12000
CID is BS_US002
Software Version 2.22.401.5
Android Version 4.4.3
Stock Recovery is 4.16.1540.8
Then I flashed firmware of 6.12.1540.4
And I am installing RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4
When I check for updates it says your phone is up to date (been checking from past 1 and a half week)
It either gets stuck on "0% Sending........" at RUU menu.
Or it fails giving the error[155] Make sure you are using the correct Rom.
Mobile screen is stuck at HTC Logo.
When I unplug the mobile it opens fastboot saying "Fail zip info" I have to restart mobile to make it work.
My Bootloader was unlocked, I Locked it using Echo Su command.
Then I unrooted Mobile by going to super su > complete unroot.
What is possibly wrong with my mobile? ALL I want to do is update my mobile to marshmallow either by OTA or Manual.
P.s. I'm new to android so I don't know a lot of stuff about it. Sorry.
Can you post fastboot getvar all (without serial & imei no.)
When your MID is changed to 0P6B12000, CID is better as BS_US001
Are you in US ? Maybe convert it to EU is better for you.
Let's see the getvar all result first.

finished. total time: 0.063s
And I live in Asia.
Since you're in Asia .. I suggest to convert it to EU.
You already know how to change CID/MID, change it to CID 11111111 or HTC__001 and MID 0P6B10000
then you can follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
It seems that you have USB connection issue when it stuck on "0% Sending........" when using RUU exe, so a RUU zip could be better for you.
Anyway .. if you still want to update it to 6.12.1540.4 instead of convert it to EU .. what you can do is run the RUU exe, no need to connect M8 to PC, open your windows "temp" folder (in "run" type %temp%), you should see 2 new folders. One of them has rom.zip
Copy this rom.zip to your desktop, then you can follow the same guide on how to install it with htc_fastboot
Or you can rename this rom.zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot to bootloader then select hboot, it will scan the file and ask whether you want to update. Volume up to update. After successfully update, remove/delete this 0P6BIMG.zip from the microSD
Edit : the easiest for you now is (since the firmware is already updated), install latest TWRP and restore 6.12.1540.4 backup that you can find in my backup thread .. after restore .. done.
So .. I can say you have 3 options here

Since you're in Asia .. I suggest to convert it to EU.
You already know how to change CID/MID, change it to CID 11111111 or HTC__001 and MID 0P6B10000
then you can follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
It seems that you have USB connection issue when it stuck on "0% Sending........" when using RUU exe, so a RUU zip could be better for you.
Anyway .. if you still want to update it to 6.12.1540.4 instead of convert it to EU .. what you can do is run the RUU exe, no need to connect M8 to PC, open your windows "temp" folder (in "run" type %temp%), you should see 2 new folders. One of them has rom.zip
Copy this rom.zip to your desktop, then you can follow the same guide on how to install it with htc_fastboot
Or you can rename this rom.zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot to bootloader then select hboot, it will scan the file and ask whether you want to update. Volume up to update. After successfully update, remove/delete this 0P6BIMG.zip from the microSD
Edit : the easiest for you now is (since the firmware is already updated), install latest TWRP and restore 6.12.1540.4 backup that you can find in my backup thread .. after restore .. done.
So .. I can say you have 3 options here

Thank you so much!
I did something else, But it worked.
What I did was put my mobile in Fastboot USB mode, And then run the RUU. I also used another USB port you were right about that too.
It worked fine.
I tried doing it before but it didn't work I think it was because of the firmware.zip thing you told me. So thanks a lot again!
Just tell me that I will get OTA updates from now on right?

Great that you fixed it.
Yeah .. you will get OTA if there is one in the future.
But I don't think there will be any as M8 is already 2 years old and HTC stop support after 18 months.

HI all, I am having problems trying to flash an RUU. I can't seem to find the Marshmallow RUU.zip file 6.20.502.5 I was on Lollipop and flashed Frimware to my HTC One M8 AT&T Version. everything went good, green back went all the way. then i rebooted via "fastboot"
Now i am getting an HTC Logo screen, I can boot into bootloader, and get into fastboot. but seems the file i am trying to flash tells me it failed. i have attempted same file a few times, weather firmware, boot.img and still no luck.
can someone point me in the right direction where i can download the correct RUU File. Since i already flashed the MM Firmware. Sound to me like the Boot.img may have been corrupted ?
here is the info i have from Command "fastboot getvar all"

Please direct me to correct RUU.zip file version for my HTC One M8 AT&T Version, if that is what i need to do or if i need a Boot.img please direct me to it.
Thanks for your help in advance
Download it from htc: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
I don't know how you flashed a firmware since your phone is S-ON but this RUU should work, just put the phone in fastboot and run the exe.

I had bootloader locked and then had to relock it since i can't get any kind of updates from AT&T because i am on Cricket wireless. I downloaded this yesterday and triend it, 45 mins later, still nothing, I think i know why nothing happend I had the phone in RUU Boot via fastboot command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
I re opned the EXE RUU from HTC and everything worked fine. went smooth. Now apps are updating. When I used this EXE File from HTC I needed to have phone in fastboot usb mode not RUU Mode. Fastboot and EXE file , That did the trick.
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it. as i have been going at this for days . sometimes you need to give things a break, walk away and come back.
Now i will give lineage 15.1 and Gapp's 8.1 unofficial. This is the reason i wanted this phone on Marshmallow. I want to get rid of this AT&T bloated software and be able tether with my phone as well. Thanks alot. 'Thumbs Up"

Your issue is that you flashed the firmware.zip, but never flashed the RUU. No boot after flashing firmware is normal and expected, as it expects the RUU to be flashed immediately after.
I've explained a little more about the difference between firmware and RUU here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/upgrading-software-issue-t3546243
For this device, you should refrain from thinking about "firmware" and RUU/ROM being the same thing, as you can now see, they are very different things.
In addition to the link lucr05 provided, you can also find the A&T M8 RUU (EXE format) on my Index thread. I don't know if you will find the zip format RUU anywhere. But as you now see, the EXE version works fine.

A signed firmware zip can be flashed (with fastboot) with s-on (FastbootRUU mode).
In fact, for US variants, flashing MM firmware is mandatory before a MM RUU will install properly (a peculiar requirement for US carrier variants).

Your comments about boot.img seem like a wild guess, and not the correct answer, at that.
I'm also suspect the notion is based on past HTC devices, which had the requirement to flash boot.img separately from the ROM, which don't apply (and never applied) to the M8. Flashing boot.img also doesn't apply to firmware and/or RUU. boot.img is included in both the firmware and the RUU.
