Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

Did you try to run a ruu? See if you can find a ruu for your device model and carrier you can run ruu.exe from a windows computer in fast boot USB mode

I've tried to find the correct RUU, but everytime I get an error along these lines: 'Could not verify signature'
Where could I find a correct RUU?

Do you still have TWRP installed? Boot into recovery from your bootloader, and restore a backup. (You should have made one before you tried returning to stock)

I downloaded several RUU's and they all say : 'MODEL-ID error, please download the correct RUU for your device'
I am going to try to change the CID to SuperCid but don't think it will work since I can't change my S-ON to S-OFF

Yea being s-on I don't think you can what is your cid and what carrier do you have maybe someone can modify one of the ruus to work with your cid cause it seems the ruu is checking your cid and it doesn't match for the ruu so it isn't working. Have you tried reflashing twrp and seeing if you can enter recovery again then maybe restore one of the backups from the backups thread. I don't know how much help I can actually be cause I'm just a flasher hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can jump in and help you I'm just suggesting what I would do in your situation. I hope you get your phone booted again though
Omg i did it
I just started the whole process again of unlocking my bootloader and stuff, using the AOI Toolkit, and I am in the PhiliZ Touch CLockworkmod now ! Thank you all for helping me, I will carefully unroot now and bring my phone back

Second of all, everything you've mentioned needs S-Off. He is S-On.
Third of all, HTC US is different than other regions. Most of the other RUUs that have been made available are not found on HTC's websites. Most are leaked versions, I believe.
And no. It isn't in any RUU threads on XDA.

I dont know if someone here has posted something similar but i got a huge problem with my damn htc desire, it is cdma ive tried to install the ruu froyo but it wont let me it says model id error or cid incorrect i have made the damn goldcard and it doesn't work, this phone is pissing the hell out of me. i cant do nothing with it. could someone here tell me plz some way to install an compatible ruu. the phone only boots to fastboot, i can change it to hboot but from there nothing. plz can someone here help me i;m losing my mind.
give us some details then we MAY be able to help you.. we're not friggin' magicians here..
Firstly, the RUU's didn't work because my best bet is that you were using RUU for Bravo and not BravoC (your model) - Hence modelID error.
Secondly, if you're rooted, then you're more than likely S-OFF too so you can probably just fix it, look on my guide. (DO NOT FLASH ANY HBOOTS)
to stop us working double on this, please choose either this thread, or http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/475726-cant-install-any-ruu-htc-desire-cdma.html
It gets annoying trying to help people in several different places.
My suggestion is to stay on XDA as Bortak knows his stuff and will probably be able to help. On AF you may get stuck with me and I just havent the time.
Oooh rootSu sorry didnt knew that androis forums where from here too, my apologies for that. Ummm ok the problem. I got this htc desire bravo_c it was rooted but my brother told me that the phone started on bootloop. Then I exactly didnt knew what he did but then he said the phone was with black screen. Ok I tried some guides from here, the only problem was that it happened like some guy said here, I tried to do an ruu rom but when it started doing the progress when It was at 20% it stopped and now the phone boots only in fastboot. After the ruu now I can see whats happening with the phone but like I said it only boots on fast boot. Oh other thing now the phone is S-on and the hboot is 0.98. Let me know if u need some more details. Ill let u kno,. And sorry again for the other forum.

There aren't that many resources for the bravoC so you've got limited options. As far as I know there is one BravoC RUU on shipped-roms.Com, but if it's not for your network provider I don't know whether it wouldn't just break your phone..
If it is the right RUU for your network then great, use it and hope for the best. If it isn't then stay away from it and contact HTC.
you should root and s-off your phone (when/if you fix it/get it back from repair), so that these sort of problems can be sorted out easily without any hiccups.

well this sucks umm if i contact htc they will probably say to send the phone right? man i was hoping i could fix it with the guides here i really have bad luck.
So the best thing to do now is just to contact htc and wait for what they have to say. thanks for the help, sorry for posting this thread like that, it wasn't my intention to make anyone mad or anything, its just that i was so desperate that i wanted someone to help me.
Sorry I'm not mad and it IS a different forum. But sometimes I end up helping on AF and someone else helps here and we end up either
a) both duplicating each others work
b) taking different approaches.
The risk then is you take some advise from here, some advise from there, put it all together and end up bricking your phone.
I understand thanks for the help. I called htc they told me that i have to call tomorrow because Im from Puerto Rico and their offices are close today so I gotta check tomorrow to see if they are open.
dude i have a htc cdma i rooted. installed cm7 on there..took me like 10 minutes

Hello everybody,
I'm stuck with this condition, wherever i start up my Htc Desire it shows the htc logo and four triangles on the sides. And on every combination vol- vol+ backkey + powerbutton i get the same screen.
Lost the original SD card (not sure if this matters).
I got this screen when i unplug from pc:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RUU
I've been told to downgrade the Hboot (from the alpharev.nl) in order to Ruu the stock ROM downloaded from the HtcDEV, with no luck.
Since I've got the CyanogenMod hboot, is there any method i can flash CM on the phone. Having CM7 would be perfect!!
Check this thread particularly the RUU Problems section. Good luck.

I do feel your pain...I'd be pretty gutted too, if this happened to me.
As for fixes, this is the fourth thread you've started on various forums (that I could find) and I can tell you, the answers are going to be the same. What I would suggest, if you have exhausted every possibility and followed every guide to the letter...just go buy a new phone. There are heaps of them on eBay and electronics stores all over the world are flogging them off at ridiculously low prices. Imo, you're really better off starting from scratch.
Just flash the downgrade.img and run the ruu. It's the only fix. If you can't flash the downgrade img, go back to the troubleshooting thread and tell them there exactly what happened. Simply saying "with no luck" doesn't help anyone diagnose.
Creating a thread on this topic is annoying enough. Openly admitting to recreating it is disrespectful. As with every thread of this nature, I will request it be locked. Please use the troubleshooting guide thread

More than likely an environment (pc) than phone issue. Scrap those apps, we're better off using command line. Have a read of the adb and fastboot faq via my signature. Skip adb as not relevant.
Then follow the link 777 posted and give us an update there

Correct.. was a driver issue apparently. What i had to do was only install every driver i could find for htc desire, adb, jdk.. all.. and then even with 6.93.1002 hboot i could RUU the 2.3 gingerbread stock from htcdev.com. Now its up and running.. infact im writing this mesage from the desire XD
THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTAND!
Great news!!
I want to point out, and after you've been here a while you'll understand, there are a lot of people (noobs) that will ask the same old questions over and over again, "Which ROM is best?", "My phone is broken, how do I fix?" etc, and it get's really, really annoying. This is why people were a little rude with you and why your first thread was closed. In the end, all it took was some time, research and a bit of thought and you got there. And I'll tell you what, you really got thrown in the deep end with the phone you were given...from here on in, anything else should be a walk in the park!
Please don't take anything said personally, it's just a matter of frustration at seeing the same old again.
I have no doubt you'll be ripping into noobs one day too, lol.
Now go enjoy your phone!!

According to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632200 by 7pellc he was able to get his device into an unlocked state.
While flashing a RUU the process crashed at "WRITING USER DATA".
He then rebooted the phone and found the rom to be unusable, so he rebooted to HBOOT only to find it being stuck in RUU mode.
HBOOT still reported device to be LOCKED, and for some reason he rebooted to recovery, and then back into HBOOT finding the device in an unlocked state.
Instead of LOCKED/RELOCKED/UNLOCKED HBOOT reported only ******
He then fastboot flashed a boot.img which it accepted even though this device was never unlocked through HTCDev.
It seems to me that the exact procedure temporarily left the device in some form of unlocked state, and maybe the eMMC was actually unlocked.
If this was the case it should have been possible to perform fastboot commands to acheive SuperCID or even S-OFF:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 0
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
I am not sure anyone ever recreated his steps, and the important step is to reach the state where HBOOT reports only ****** instead of LOCKED states.
I would love to try this out myself, but I sold my HOX when SGS3 came out as it was a true unlocked device.
Some of my friends still has this phone, and they come to me when something is wrong with it, and if I can persuade them to try this on their phones I would like to try it ofcourse.
I am really sorry if anyone actually recreated the exact steps, but I have read all the threads about S-OFF, and couldn't find someone who performed the opreation, but if I'm mistaken I'm sorry, and this thread can be closed.

But he's speaking the truth.. S-OFF isn't possible, and if you did some research you would know that Please refrain from asking questions before doing your research.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
Actually if the emmc was unlocked as the op describes then it would be possible but I'm very sceptical that it actually was.
During the ruu sequence the emmc is indeed unlocked however upon rebooting it gets locked again
This is the same principal that the soff for xl uses however they strictly say you mustn't power off your device because it relocks the security.
I have spent some time looking at this exploit.
It is technically possible to have the emmc unlocked and accept fastboot commands by flashing an updated firmware. (Note it has to be an update and not the same as you already have)
Once first flash of the firmware you get an error and then have to flash again straight away but if you don't flash again you can run other commands with the emmc unlocked.
This is where this method hits a dead end.
In order to progress further we need to be in android which would normally be done with
Fastboot boot boot.IMG or fastboot oem boot however since early hboot versions. I think 1.12. this ability was removed and the command just either errors or crashes the device

I know that the S-OFF progress by xmoo and others has stopped/is on-hold, but saying that S-OFF is impossible is a bad attitude to solving a problem.

Actually I came up with this idea after reading the threads about the new S-OFF method for XL.
I don't think the eMMC is actually unlocked in the RUU process, the key to achieveing this lies in the sequence of boot back and fourth from RUU mode to the stock recovery and then back to HBOOT.
If the theory is worth anything something happens in the process making HBOOT not recognize the secureflag thus reporting only *****
Ofcourse this is all theory, but who knows
As mentioned in my first post, I cannot test this out myself, and I would never have brought this up if I was able to test it and found it not to be working!
Just telling the truth ..... Sorry for letting you know a fact at the moment.

Ok so real quick….I'm not tech savvy. I usually get the new HTC One, watch a youtube tutorial, and install ViperROM. This time around I get to the finish line and I keep getting the same "set_perm failed" …..I tried twrp hima 2.8.6.4 …still the same problem. I'm ready to give up. Please help me
We need more details.. Is your phone s-off? Also did you flash the correct firmware? And is your bootloader unlocked.

What exactly is "the finish line"? Like @bigp951 said, we need more details. Please list everything you've done to this point and exactly what you're doing that returns that error.
I'm no expert but the process i used was.
- Get phone, Unlock bootloader via htcdev, (hadnt realise the sunshine apk does both unlocking bootloader and s-off at the time >< doh!), then s-off using sunshine, flash custom recovery via fastboot, flash superSU and install superSU apk for root, flash 1.40.401.x firmware with fastboot, flash viper rom (i had to do this twice as the first time an error came up which was helpfully listed in the troubleshooting section of the dev's post for viper, boom, it was all done. Backed up for safety
hope that helps you get to the source of the error.
when you say you flashed supersu and then installed supersu apk, what does that mean? I ask because when you flash the beta-superSu it installs the apk for you. But then again you had to be rooted to get s-off (someone correct me if I am wrong). Also, did you check the md5 before you tried to flash? Did you file a ticket with team viper? What was the error that showed up on the first failed attempt? Did you post on the viperonem9 thread and ask them for help? what is your cid and mid? supercid may help... and what is the current state of the phone? Is it still working?? Can you go into recovery? Still lots of questions.
If you want a clean slate to start over with find the CORRECT RUU and run it. Then you will be stock all over again (disclaimer--Find the RUU thread and follow instructions completely).
Obviously I am no expert either. I just run through the troubleshooting list when problems arise. But I try to help or point you in the direction of someone who can.
EDIT- there is also a newer official version of twrp for the m9. As @jollywhitefoot asked, you did not state what the finish line is nor what you were doing to return the error. If you installed the rom and made a backup than it sounds like the phone was working...

Seems like this was a waste of time drive by. For someone "screaming for help" you would think they would reply when someone tries to help them.
maybe he's asleep...lol

yeah, I know what you mean they ask a question and disappear for 2 days LOL
or he's thrown the phone under a bus and hates us all!!!! >< either way, there is a lot of helpful tips and tricks to be found in these forums. I think as mentioned above a good idea may be to try to return fully to stock and start again.... carefully following each step to the letter.

RIP OP
Hello everyone, I I just got an M9 at my local Telus store and I would like to be able to do everything with it like I am able to do with my M7, so I know I will need to use sunshine to get S-OFF and I would also like to be able to change everything from the rom to the kernel to the OS, everything, so I was just wondering if someone could let me know the best order to go about doing things, meaning should I do sunshine first then worry about flashing a recovery and all that, or should I do the recovery first so that I can backup the phones current state? The phone currently says this in the hboot screen:
*** LOCKED ***
LK-1.0.0.0000
OS-1.32.661.6
and this is what it says on the phones Setting-About-Software screen:
Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
7.0
Like I mentioned before, it would probably be best if I can make a backup of the phones current state just in case there are any issues, so to do that I know I need a recovery, but do I need to do the HTC Dev unlocker before I can do so? or do I have to flash a recovery first before everything else?
Now, before anyone gets upset with me for asking these questions because they have most likely been asked 1000 times before, I am not asking to be spoon feed all the details step by step, I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction and asking for you guy's opinions on the best way to go about doing things so that I do them right the first time... So if anyone could please take a minute to help me out and get me pointed in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated... thank you very much...

First thing you should do is unlock your bootloader. After that you can install twrp and flash supersu (most can be found here) Once you are rooted run sunshine. After that the sky is the limit. You will be free to flash anything and everything. I know because I've done it. If you want to convert to a developers edition there is a post here. Personally I do not use my stock recovery or system image backups to download ota's. I prefer to run an RUU and do fresh installs. Reason why is because I am constantly changing firmware and roms. A lot of roms are based on the WWE firmware.
let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you very much for the tips.. Do I use the HTC Dev website to unlock the bootloader? I seen a link in the dev thread that said Unlock bootloader without HTCDev(root required), but I bet that the HTCDev way is probably the best best. which did you use? I'm not at home right now so I will begin when I get home later on tonight and if I need anything else I will post back, plus I post back to say how everything goes.. Thanks again for help, it is very much appreciated...

I've used htcdev for all 2 out o 3 of my m9's. third one is a developer edition so it wasn't needed.
just note download mode is fastboot mode on the m9. htcdev says to boot to fastboot mode and if you do not know than you can waste hours trying to figure it out.

lol I so would have gotten caught up on that lol thanks again man!!! will post back later on...
cool..let me know if you get stuck anywhere
Ok so I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, right now I am taking a backup of the phones current state just in case. Now I just need to flash the SuperSU beta from the link you provided and then run sunshine, after that I would like to flash the latest OS for my phone, but I am not sure which version to use, I think this one is correct http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678 but I am not 100% sure, do you know if this is the correct latest version for my phone?
Also should I supercid my phone before updating the firmware by entering "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" while in download mode? because my cid is TELUS001 and I do not see that cid listed in the androidinfo.txt file that is in the firmware zip...
Thanks again for all your help...
**UPDATE** I now have S-OFF, I can't believe how smooth the whole process is now with sunshine compared to almost all of my other HTC phones, hats off to those guys for sure... Thank you very much for getting me this far!!! I appreciate it very much...

I was actually just going to tell you to type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
while in download mode and to copy and paste that into a file a text file somewhere so you always have it. then you can supercid. I actually have never seen any firmware for your carrier. what is your mid? this is where I get all of my firmware from. I learned how to remove the red text using hex editor and I also throw in a custom splash screen before I flash.
Here is a link for your stock firmware. not sure what the most up to date is but most custom roms are using the WWE firmware anyways.
p.s. either quote me or tag me if you need a faster response. I'm not getting notifications otherwise.

My mid is 0PJA11000 but the one that is listed in the androidinfo.txt file of the firmware that I linked earlier is 0PJA10000, does this mean I cant use it? in all I plan to flash ViperOneM9 3.5.0 for the rom and it says it requires 2.10 but my phone is currently at 1.32

I honestly don't know if the hardware is any different but it looks like your mid is the same as the dev ed. check this one out. @clsA is very knowledgeable on the m9. I learned a lot of what I know from his posts.
Personally I have gotten so relaxed that I just change my mid and cid to whatever it is I want to flash and just go for it. But I also understand that I'm risking a brick by doing so..lol

took a look at the thread and it looks like all I need to do to flash 2.10 which is the international version is type fastboot oem writemid 0PJA10000 while in downloader mode because like you said and which I also confirmed in the other thread that my phone is the same as the dev ed and I should be able to switch back and forth with the same command

If going to dev ed I have had better luck running an RUU and accepting ota's as far as the radio goes. my reception went from 2 bars to full bars doing it that way verses just flashing the newest firmware. But it is a very long and tedious process and since you just got your m9 I'm sure you want to use it already..
What rom are you thinking about flashing?

I am hoping to flash ViperOneM9 3.5.0, it was the only rom I ran on my M7 and I loved it, so I'm really hoping to have it on this phone too... I just asked in the roms thread to see if anyone else there is on my same network to see how they got it working... and to be honest I don't mind waiting in order to get things done the right way the first time, know what I mean...

Viper is one of my favorites. Was using it for months. They are good about replying too... A little too good because you get spoiled. Then when you post on other roms and nobody ever replies you realize how good those guys are..haha
check out the second line on this thread to reclaim 3 gb of data after using sunshine. I've been s-off for months and just saw this today.

do you know where I can find the latest international RUU? what rom are you running now?
@bigp951
Ok so I got the firmware updated to the latest international version 2.10 and was able to flash the ViperOne Rom and I love it just like I did for my M7... Everything is working great, except I have the problem that you mentioned would happen, I only show 1 bar for my signal strength, could you please let me know exactly what you had to do to fix it? Also, I would just like to say thank you once more, you helped me out a great deal and you made my upgrade to the M9 an absolute cake walk, so thank you very much for everything and for explaining the proper steps to take, I appreciate it very much...
