[Soft Bricked] need ruu for HTC M8

Hi all, first time in this forum and i hope someone would save me!
I have an HTC One M8
i'm **TAMPERED** **LOCKED** **SECURITY WARNING** and S-ON
so from hboot and fastboot i can't do anything (also enter in recovery mode)
via usb in hboot i can use fastboot command but not adb command (for that i have to turn on my device which restart in 30 secs so it's very hard)
i have to get it back to stock state but for doing that i need a RUU (fastboot flash is useless and as i sayed i can't do anything with adb in fastboot mode)
in order to do that i have downloaded from htc the mem_ul source to compile with AOSP but on the phone there aren't the proc/
config.gz file and i'm stucked here.
these are the fastboot getvar all instruction.

ADB doesn't work in fastboot, only when booted into Android. You need to use the 4.16.401.10 RUU in General and flag it when connected in fastboot mode

Check this thread for your device type : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2
and this for your RUU : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/general/htc-one-mini-2-european-signed-ruu-t3003069

Good spot!

thanks to all of you for the help in advance.
but i tried the ruu you suggested and it doesn't work. he said that i have to choice the correct one.

You have to use the one linked to by @ckpv5 as you have an M8 Mini - this is the 'proper' M8 forum...

i think it doesn't work because the file it's corrupted, another link maybe? i think also i'm getting trought this s****
Thx a lot all of you

How did you get this **TAMPERED** **LOCKED** **SECURITY WARNING**
Is it you unlocked it before then suddenly when it has reboot problem, it turns to **LOCKED** ?
How do you know the RUU zip is corrupted ? How actually you flash it, what commands ?

The OP will need the htc_fastboot version unless they do it via SD card...

i'm sorry it is **RELOCKED**
i'm pushing it by modifing another RUU (i put it inside by replacing the rom.zip and renaming it to rom.zip) and this RUU have the htc_fastboot.exe inside it so i'm trying now to push it via "cmd".
I think this op it's broken because i can't unzip it whitout error.

I have no idea what you are trying to do .... by pushing & modifying another RUU
But a signed RUU zip is encrypted, you can't unzip it, it's not that it's corrupted.

You flash it by connecting the phone in fastboot and then boot into RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) and then flash the RUU (htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip)

when i try to do fastboot oem rebootRUU the phone reboots but in normal mode not entering in bootloader or in RUU
it's possible to enter RUU mode with adb command?

This is a symptom of a corrupted partition (more of a hardware problem) ...
I run out of idea to help you, further more your device is not M8.
Maybe someone else can help you ... good luck

please don't give up now i'm almost here:
i tried to flash it in ruu mode via htc_fastboot and the message is that:

please help me on how to run through this.
much appreciated.

In the first lines you say it boots to H-Boot and in the last lines you say it doesn't boot to the bootloader.
Hboot and bootloader are the same. So where does it boot to and where does it not ?
Put it in the hboot/bootloader - fastboot USB menu and execute the RUU.exe from the PC .....
For a ruu you don't have to be in the fastboot oem rebootRUU mode

sorry, but i'd always think H-boot is one where i choose between options, whilst boot-loader is the dark screen where's the progress bar during a flash operation!
putting it right, the machine never reboots to RUU mode.
thanks for the info.

You don't have to be in the RUU mode at all to execute the ruu. If you have the ruu.exe you can do it like i previous posted, if you have the ruu.zip you can do it via the external SD card by renaming the zip file. Can't remember the exact name. Check for RUU.zip via sd card.

Thanks much Mr. Hofs for the support, lemme get with the zip option.,, will post results as soon

{HELP} HTC M8 won't open recovery

Hello.
I have M8 in bootloader and it wont bootup, wont go in recovery etc. Everything I press, it returns to bootloader.
I don't know what to do, I already read all day stuff on forum and I can't do anything.
(I bought the phone like that)

You have to give more informations - firmware versions,boot version etc.Also try to flash some recovery.Do you get any error or ? Can be hardware problem if everything doesnt work...

What version TWRP? Your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) is really old, so most any version TWRP 2.8 or later will fail or cause other issues.
My recommendation would be to update to current firmware (by RUU may be the easiest way) then try to install TWRP again. If that is what you want to do, then I can give further info.
Also would be helpful if you do fastboot getvar all (if you know how) and post the output, so we can get more details on the phone's status (be sure to delete serial number and IMEI before posting).

I'd be gratefull if you guide me through firmware upgrade.

My advice would be to run the AT&T RUU (download link and instructions near the bottom of the following): http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
You'll need to relock the bootloader to RUU with command: fastboot oem lock
RUU will wipe the phone, but it sounds like you haven't even had a chance to put any personal data on it yet, anyway.
RUU will put you on an updated, fully stock image including updated firmware. Hopefully will also get the phone booted back into OS.
After that, you can unlock the bootloader again, and flash TWRP if you like (to root, flash custom ROM, etc.).

Let me see if I undestand well.
1. Relock with that command
2. Double click od RUU file (I guess that ruu is system file and opens with CMD? ) and follow steps

RUU is a Windows executable program. Just double click it, and it will lead you through the rest (very little action needed on your part). You don't run it from CMD.
If the phone is booted into OS, the RUU should reboot into into fastboot-bootloader mode. If not, you will need to boot into bootloader-fastboot mode yourself.

Need more info.
What version SuperSU? What version TWRP?
What "official update" file did you use? Was it an OTA or an RUU (list the exact file name)?
Also, do fastoboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

In addition to the fastboot output, I asked 4 questions, none of which you answered.
You have the M8 eye, not the "standard" M8. Far as I can tell (not many folks on xda have the "eye") you need a special version of TWRP for this version. You can try the right version TWRP, and flash SUperSU again, see if that helps. No idea if this version TWRP will work on not (can't personally vouch for it): https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/m8-eye-recovery-root-t3159648
Depending on what you did to the phone by flashing the wrong TWRP, it's hard to tell what the proper way to proceed.

hi
can i have stock recovery download link in that phone pls

I have a similar issue, but with a standard M8
£10 off ebay, so not expecting ,much (also means no known history) . 1 week old noob reading here and flashing phones
1) only boots to fastboot, and even does this when you leave it powered off, but charging.
2) select hboot, then to recovery, recovery doesn't run, just resets back to fastboot eventually, after screen goes white not black.
3) can partially speak to phone in fastbook and get versions ok (included below)

4) never been able to boot to full o/s so not in developer mode, so cant get response in adb (and dont know how to use this anyway) That is correct, you will not be able to use adb unless you can boot to OS or alternately TWRP custom recovery. So you are basically limited to fastboot in the current condition.
5) tried RUU.exe - fails with usb error after it tries to restart bootloader There isn't a valid exe format RUU for your version number (6.12.401.4) so you are probably using the wrong RUU. What is the version number or file name for the RUU.exe?
6) tried ruu.zip from memory card - fails with partition update fail Exactly what partition(s) is it failing to update? What is the version RUU you are using? The only valid one for your version would be the RUU.zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
7) tried fastboot recovery image 6.12.401.4 and it fails to write - error is 'remote:signature verify fail' You can't flash an unsigned recovery image, unless the bootloader is unlocked. It also seems you are trying to flash stock recovery, and I don't see how that is going to help your current condition.

I think your best bet right now, is to try the correct RUU.zip which I linked above.

Is this eMMC bricked?

I have been given a 32gb us model which is stuck in bootloader i have tried everything and all fails.

Try to flash this ruu with unlocked bootloader, I'm not sure It'll work but I think you have the developer edition which comes with an unlocked bootloader.

This statement doesn't tell us anything. It's worth listing the things you tried to flash, and the specific results for each. Otherwise, we waste your time and ours, as we guess or assume what you tried and didn't try.
Did you try to flash custom recovery TWRP? If so, which version number? Did you get an error message, or what was the failure mode or other results?

The RUU which corresponds with your current firmware number (main version in getvar: 6.12.401.4) is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
You can try to flash using htc_fastboot per the instructions, or SD card method.
If you can't get the RUU to work, relock the bootloader, or flash TWRP, I agree that it's probably emmc failure.

Help me please.

Please don't post same question to multiple threads. It is against forum rules to do so, as it clutters up the forum, and makes it very confusing for those trying to help you.
I've tried to help you in one of the 3 threads you posted in. So go look for it (now you see one of the reasons why cross posting is not a good idea?).
