Bootloader starts always after restart - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with any updates or even factory reset. When I start an updaete, after restart the phone the bootloader appears and it make to stop the process of the update or factory reset. The phone HTC ONE M8 was rooted with s-off before, but I did return it to the stock (problem with camera and I need to take it back to the store on guarantee) the only thing what I forget to do was to change "software status: Modified" to "Software status: Official". Can anyone help me? The screen from bootloader attached.

Try install 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
Maybe it will change the software status to official.

Thx for quick reply. Is it possible to make the install with S-ON? I found one more thing. When I tried to make an update, Bootloader appears with one more line of text on pink background - *** Security Warning *** - it appears between *** LOCKED *** and "M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON. "

Yeah.. you can install RUU on S-On device when the bootloader is LOCKED or RELOCKED.
Security Warning I guess due to Modified Status.
Give the RUU a try and see how it goes. As long as there is no hardware problem like corrupted partitions, RUU will run fine.

I have installed 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe from the previous post and everything works great. In bootloader The Software status have changed to Official. So now the HTC m8 looks like it just came out from the box . I can send it to the service to fix the back camera. Thank you ckpv5!

[Q] failed to update to 2.13.401.3

Hi! I have a wildfire s with 2.13.401.2. i want to update to 2.13.401.3 but if i try to check for new updates it says that there aren't new updates. i download the shipped rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 .
i open the .exe file, click on next a few times but, when it reboot to bootloader, installshield wizard say that the device is not connected so i can't finish the installation. how can i do?
Do you have S-OFF? Check also if debug mode is activated on the phone (Settings-Applications-Development).
You are not suppose to reboot into bootloader, it will do it by itself. That's why the wizard did not detect your device. Also make sure USB debugging is checked under applications/development/USB debugging.

i don't reboot into bootloader. the wizard says that it reboot itself, but on the mobile appear a black screen with the HTC logo and then it says that there are no mobiles connected
Just to make sure that you can flash a ROM, do you have bootloader unlocked?
i haven't unlocked bootloader. i've flashed a rom two weeks ago, switched from a orange (fr) branded ROM to a Marvel HTC EU one. So i need to update to 2.13.401.3 to unlcok bootloader with HTC Dev
Ah ok.
Sorry but I can't see anything wrong there. You didn't modify the recovery option right? (You couldn't since you are locked).I had some update problems recently because I have Clockwork mode recovery installed and at the restart the system was freezing.
Maybe an admin can help..
Don't know if you solved the problem, but maybe you could restore the initial ROM, and then try again with the latest one. Maybe the 2.13.401.2 is creating the problem.

Hi i would like to ask is it possible for me to downgreat hboot from 1.08.099 to any other down?? My phone is from T-Mobile Poland.

Afster flashing system and boot and open bltools and go to "Superversion" and next to Lock bootloader i see "LOCKED OOW" at the top in hboot 1.08.0099" so all is good. But then is time to RUU and my i cant done this step. I try before RUU flashing oryginal Recovery, set my phone on Locked, Relocked and Unlocked but still doesn't work fine. I create GoldCard but this dont help me.

if you have your original ruu,downgrading bootloader will be so easy.about flashing with ruu just create goldcard again,and set bootloader only on locked or relocked when you are flashing ruu's..unlocked bootloader may bricked your phone.

Solved. M8 stuck in recovery mode after failed update

Latest update failed leaving me in recovery mode, I am confused as to which files ruu i need, these are the details of the phone, I am in the UK on the Three network .Any help most gratefully recieved, htc support just said send it in we will charge £27.50 to look at it then give you a quote.

Many thanks after numerous attempts to flash RUU it finally worked i think, the phone is optimizing apps as i type. Do i now need to do a recovery image or will it already be included with the RUU.
Don't really understand your question.
The RUU is stock image including recovery
Same problem
Hello! I have the same problem. Please,could you explain to me how you solve the problem.Please and Thank you!
HTC M8 cannot hard reset
Phone cannot be hard reset.
Tried both Power+ Volume Up press and Power+Volume down button combination.
Red triangle shows up when doing recovery phone reboots checks 173 files cannot understand any instructions as they are in Chinese. (The phone is brought from Taiwan)
This happened after a failed software update.
I know basics of android so if you can help me with any Indian andriod expert to guide me it would be a big help.

Restoring Stock rom

Could I restore Stock rom on my htc m9 and how to do that?
And how I now which RUU to chose?

Download this file. Copy it to your ext sdcard and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Connect your phone to fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Boot into download mode. Phone will prompt you to install. Press volup and wait.
Before u start backup ecerything
If you're already linking one of my files you could've linked my instructions, too, since what you wrote isn't completely correct. Re-locking the bootloader is unnecessary if you use the SD card method. In the worst case (e.g. if the RUU fails and OEM unlock isn't activated in the developer options) you could end up with a non-booting phone that can't be re-unlocked. The M9 has security checks that prevents it from booting if it isn't completely stock and the bootloader gets (re-)locked. And although I tested that RUU there can always be reasons why it fails to flash.
Could you be more specific please, I am new with htc and I dont know anything about it, What is fastboot? And if you have some time to tell me step buy step how to do that i would be greatiful. Sorry for bad english
Im sorry Flippy498 i just want to help him. You are a genious and i respect you. You are a life saver.

My bad. I didn't notice that my signature isn't visible in this thread.
Edit: I don't know why the link gets broken as soon as I save this post. You'll need to copy'n'paste the link.
THX a lot, now I'm gonna to try to restore stock rome!
@Flippy498 I have just one question, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly but I still have Software Status marked as Modified. Would I be able to receive software updates ?
Yes, you will. And you'll be able to install them, as well. (Receiving updates is not the problem, it's being able to install them if the system has been modified. However, a RUU reverts every modification you made.)
It's just strange that the flag still says that your system is modified. Normally the SD card method should reset it to original. But that shouldn't be a problem. OTAs don't check that flag. They compare whether the checksum of the system is the same as the reference value. Since a RUU overwrites the current system with the stock one you won't face any problems here.
Thanks a lot dude for your great work and quick reply !

S-ON PRODUCTION flag in bootloader?

I need to claim warranty on my HTC 10, bootloader is Locked, S-ON, Software status is Official, but there is this "PRODUCTION" flag next to "S-ON" (look at the photo below). I think it appeared after oreo update.
- Can someone verify for me if this is normal for stock never modified HTC 10 phones ?

After flashing the "2PS6IMG-2.51.617.32-US-Unlocked-aboot" the "Production" flag was removed.

Correct because the flag comes with the OREO firmware. When you flash an older firmware the flag will be gone because you are no longer on the oreo firmware.

Sorry Mr Hofs, let me give more info.
I have an Unlocked HCT 10, Official, Locked, and S-off. I am running 3.16.617.2 Oreo software. I wanted to see if I could remove the PRODUCTION flag.
I RUUed the 2PS6IMG-2.51.617.32-US-Unlocked-aboot. (I know never flash anything but the correct software version).
Phone booted up perfectly with no production flag. Running stable.
Knowing this I then used a text editor on the 3.16.617.2-aboot-no-red-text and removed the production flag.
I'm NOT telling anyone to try this!
I'm just telling you what I did and it worked great for me.
