Need help returning to stock - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Hey guys, so I recently got an S6 but was going to sell my m7 for a little extra cash. It had the purple camera issue tho so I was going to return it to stock and send it in for repair. I attempted to follow the return to stock thread but something went wrong. I started out bootloader unlocked via HTCdev and S-off. I thought I had successfully flashed the RUU and proceeded with command to go back to S-on. Well now I can only get to the bootloader. When I try to reboot it always brings me back to the bootloader. Currently it says Tampered, Locked, S-on and I can only do stuff through fastboot. I haven't been able to successfully flash anything from here. Anybody know if there's anything else I can do to get this phone running again? Appreciate any help

What firmware is the phone on? While in fastboot, it will tell you hboot version as well as the os version. If that doesn't work, do fastboot getvar all and post it here with imei and serial removed.

Thanks for the reply. It was on the latest firmware that Santod had posted. OS is 5.28.605.2

If you are on 5.28, the 4.4.3 ruu might work for you.

Whenever I try to use the EXE file I get a connection error. I'm not sure why, the phone's connected and I can still use fastboot. I have the latest HTC sync manager installed so the drivers should be good. If I try to just flash the RUU I get a signature error. Any other ideas that might work?

Dude first you have to extract the zip file then run the .exe file just read the instructions in the thread of that RUU. Happy Flashing

OK, I feel like an idiot. I've been trying so many different things to get this to work I copied the section of the command window that I knew wasn't right., however it is still not working. What I have done is extracted the zip from that thread and tried to flash the rom.zip file that was included in it. Unfortunately I still get a signature fail. When I try to use the exe program in that thread I get a USB connection error every time. Thank you both for your replies. It seems that thread is my only shot so I'm going to take my questions over there.

You do need to root it, and you will also have to relock your bootloader first as htcdev unlocked hboot is nearly worthless. Find nipqer's guide and you'll be good.

I was actually followin nipqlers guide but the problem seemed to be the unlocked boot loader i must have had skiped it.... anyways i reclocked the boot loader and it seemed to work thanks

Try reformating your sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then place only the ruu on the sdcard and try again. Sometimes that gets it to work.
My sdcard is FAT32 , I'm tired with it
When I try do it with android-sdk I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

Even though its already fat32, sometimes reformating it gets it to work.
If your getting the remote not allowed message, it means the bootloader is still locked.

Thats strange, with the bootloader unlocked you should have no issues fastboot flashing cwm recovery. Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Open a cmd prompt with the phone connected. The phone should be in hboot and say fastboot usb plug in red at the top. Type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
It's working fine with recovery

That sounds like a bad download/corruption of the PB file, or the version of ruu you are trying to flash is older than the version on the phone. Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip

WLAN does not work after 4.4 Update

Hey Guys,
i wanted to upgrade my HTC One M8 to the newest T-Mobile Germany Firmware. My HTC One was rooted and I had the TWRP Recovery with ViperRom.
I installed a Nandroid Backup with the 1.12.111.18 (4.3) Firmware. After that i installed the 1.57.111.2 Stock Recovery, than I relocked the Bootloader and after the Root was gone, I updated my Phone to the 1.57.111.2 (4.4.2), and now my WiFi is not working. I even upgraded to a newer Version of the Stock Recovery, but it still not working.
Here are some Information about my Phone.

[Q] Flashed hotspot unlocker, now com.android.phone has stopped. Please help.

I was/am rooted/unlocked, I flashed an unlocker for the hotspot, then the message for com.android.phone began popping up continuously. Tried accessing the bootloader, but for whatever reason, it won't let me get to it. It also appears that my Airplane Mode icon in Settings keeps rapidly blinking on and off.
I managed to turn on Debugging, but it doesn't seem that ADB can see the phone. I've tried to ADB into the bootloader and it won't work.
Windows DOES see the phone in Computer, so I know it does at least see it to access the drives on it.
Please, please tell me that there is still some way to make my phone work again.
Found my way into Recovery. Did a Factory Reset, but the issue is still there. Is there something I can flash that would fix the issue?
I don't care if I go back to stock, locked, unrooted. I just want my phone back. ^^;
Try a stock backup for your Sprint HTC ONE M8

Trying to flash UK O2 HTC One M9

Hello, My phone recently started playing up and it's out of warranty according to O2 because of a scratch on the screen.
The problem was settings would not open, with "Unfortunately settings has stopped". Next the same thing happened to the play store so I can't change any settings or install any apps. Great.
I tried a few suggestions online:
- Wiped cache in bootloader.
- Factory reset
Neither solve the problem, the same error still happens on a fresh install.
So that gets me thinking I need to reinstall firmware? Please tell me to STOP now if this is the wrong thing to do!
I've not done this before so forgive my noobiness.
I've located the correct RUU I believe matching these details:

This is what I've got (sorry can't post links!).
I don't have an SD card to fit the phone, can I flash this from my PC or do I need an EXE version?
Thanks
Ed
EDIT: On download of that RUU zip file, when I try to extract the files it says archive corrupt (I've tried downloading twice). Is that normal or is the thing broken? Don't wanna brick the phone.
You don't have to extract the zip file. It's normal for the zip file to not be openable/extractable, as it's encrypted. If you *really* need access to the inside of the RUU (example, get the stock boot image), use the Universal Decryption Tool.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you should reflash the firmware. Although it's optional, I think your bootloader should be LOCKED or RELOCKED before flashing your RUU.
Instructions are here.
And remember, just in case, triple-check your RUUs.

Neither seems to be working. At the moment the phone is still in RUU mode with the a progress bar about 20% on blue. Don't want to switch it off midway?!
EDIT: To be exact it fails at 18% in the second phase (after pre-update).
I can't help much, but you should try using a regular fastboot.exe and change "htc_fastboot" to "fastboot" in your commands(don't. it will fail.) Also try checking here.

Wizard_RUU​
A small utility from HTC - a shell for flashing RUU.zip through PC (Windows)
Unpacked and taken from official RUU.exe from HTC
How to use:
Download archive Wizard_RUU.rar, unpack.
Download the stock RUU firmware in ZIP (suitable for CID and MID of your phone)
Copy the stock RUU ZIP in the folder with Wizard_RUU
Rename 0PJAIMG_HIMA _ *****. zip to rom.zip
Run the ARUWizard.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
If after installing ARUWizard.exe and after confirming the agreement condition, the installation crashes, then download and install Microsoft Visual C ++. After that, run ARUWizard.exe again
Download:
Wizard_RUU.rar (mirror on AFH)
It is used as an alternative to installing the ruu.zip through an external sd card.
PS. All data on the phone will be deleted. If possible, make a backup before installing RUU.
