RUU - Need S-Off? - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

I'm trying to go back to stock by using the T-Mo RUU but it keeps hanging at "Updating. (0/7) Sending..." . Waited for an hour. The instructions didn't mention S-Off. Do I need to be S-Off? I'm relocked.

NVM I uninstalled HTC Sync and now it's working.

Ah! Thanks for this, I totally forgot about that.

This shouldn't be here...you're gona get flamed. And did he try re-running it?
What was he doing?
he said he was gonna unroot withthe RUU, and the ruu popped up with an error. Phone wont leave this screen. tried rerunning the RUU, but nothing
Did he run the RUU on a compatible/recent version?
he had the 3.26 RUU but the evo was on 3.70 apparently
You need an ruu that is version 3.30 our newer. His bootloader stopped him from bricking it but will be locked in ruu mode until he flashes a good ruu.

Need Help, Incredible sending to verizon...

Hi Guys,
I really need help, I need to send my Incredible back to verizon, but right now my phone is stuck in bootloader. I did unrevoked to s-off and root.
Right now I turn on the phone and it go straight to bootloader, I already try wipe everything. If someone help me how to factory reset the phone that way I can send it back to verizon.
Thanks
Since you can access the bootloader, hit the power button on the option that says fastboot. Then plug it into your pc and download the latest RUU from Doug Piston's site. Run that, it should still be able to set everything back to stock except s-off.
To fix that, rerun Unrevoked then run the S-on tool. Once you have done that, flash the RUU one last time. If all goes well, your phone should now be completely back to stock, s-on and unrooted.
Thanks A Lot!! The Phone is working like new!! Thanks a million....
I think something with the bootloader were bad because I just flash full to stock and the phone reboot just fine and is working...
Thanks for your help..

Fogot to unlock phone before installing cyanogenmod

I have an Desire Bravo.
I used AlphaRev to S-OFF and Unrevoked to root the phone.
I then installed Cyanogenmod 7
All went OK until I realised that the phone was locked to Orange.
I've tried just about everything I can find on the net.
Here are the details when I boot up:
BRAVO PVY4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP 051d
Radio 5.17.05.23
Things I have tried.
Updated radio to above.
Flash PB99IMG and PB99IMG_cm7r2
Get CID incorrect
Installed HTC Sync and ran RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
(not sure if this works with S-OFF)
HTC Sync and the RUU do not see the phone.
Any ideas?
TIA
Wait, so what are you trying to do? Flash a RUU?
To flash a RUU, you either use a goldcard, or install the 2.3 RUU, which is unbranded.
Or are you trying to unlock your phone? Here:

I paid for an unlock code in the hope that it might work. I can enter the code, which is accepted, but this happens each time the phone is started. And no network available.
I tried the unlock method you mentioned but I get an error when running it. Sieempi has not replied to my request for help, so I think this a a deadend.
The idea is to get the phone back to a stock rom so that I can unlock the phone using the code I purchased.
I didn't think you could make a goldcard for a phone that is running cyanogenmod. Is that true? A link would be appreciated.
Is the RUU I tried unbranded? Where can I get the 2.3 RUU for my phone? OK found the location if this. I'll give it a try.
Thanks very much for the quick reply.
I've downloaded 2.3 RUU but cannot install kernel manager on the phone because I don't have access to the market.
Can't find where to get APK from without having to install crapware.
I've installed kernel manager on my other phone but can't find the apk file. Dev Tools says it's in /data/data but that is just an xml file
Something is conspiring against me

You are conspiring against yourself. Stop complicating matters. When trying sieempi's method, make sure you are on stock and with stock hboot.

I'm working on getting stock back.
Strangely, the 2.3 RUU program is now recognising the phone, whereas it didn't before. Just waiting for phone to charge up to install it.
UPDATE: Finally got stock rom back. Looked like magic when the HTC logo appeared. And the unlock code I bought worked too. Now I am going to install Cyanogenmod all over again. I'll reply when I have it all working. I'm still not sure why the previous RUU and HTC Sync didn't recognise the phone earlier.
Thanks for the help!

OK, so I have the 2,3 RUU stock rom working. But Unrevoked 3.32 latest version gives me an error: firmware too new.
I don't think this happened before.
I've looked at quite a few posts to solve this but have not managed to yet.
Use revolutionary.

OK trying to do that now.
UPDATE: Revolutionary worked inasmuch as it gives me root access.
I then used CWM to flash cyanogenmod, as before (the same file). But every time I start the phone, the cyanogen welcome screen keeps refreshing every 3 or 4 seconds.
FINAL UPDATE: forgot to clear cache and wipe memory first. Duh!
Once simple mistake (not unlocking phone before rooting) and many hours later ...
Thanks once again. Everything working. Nice to have a backup phone.

Just one last problem that I didn't spot.
I flashed the latest gapps in Recovery but I cannot see any new app
SOLVED this problem. I was using the newtalk version of gapps. This doesn't work. Use the other version here:

[Q] S-On Tampered Locked Secruity Warning

I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags. Can't find an encrypted RUU or figure out how to encrypt the one I have to get this rolling again, can anybody give me a clue or anything on how to go about doing this or getting this thing functional again?

Yes, it always says:
FAILED (status read failed (too many links))
Probably because its 2.10 RUU and mine is on 3.11?
Yeah an s-on phone wont allow you to flash an ruu version older than the one already on the phone. And unfortunatley, we do not have the newest ruu available yet.
So there's nothing I can do but wait? I was pretty sure I had everything flashed back to stock but once I turned S-ON it wouldn't let me go past the bootloader. My phone's sound completely stopped working so I was going to take it in to get it taken care of, but I guess I can't do anything at all now.
You can probably still flash the RUU if you get the correct one i would assume. I've reset the tampered flags before also. I always made it a point to flash the older RUU's before flipping s-on for a warranty return, because it is so much easier to get s-off in case I mess something up, so not sure how being on that newer firmware is going to play out.

Yeah I'm just keeping an eye open and checking for the latest RUU. First time getting into this stuff, so lesson learned. Just sucks I'm without a phone even just to text/apps until then.

Do an older ruu.
Lock bootloader using fastboot.
Go s-on using fastboot.
Do a signed ruu.

Why 2 ruu?
Probably not really needed, but just to be sure the phone got wiped out.

Can I or can I not flash an older RUU?
How do I get a hold of a signed RUU? Is it the one that says decrypted?
Will this at least allow me to wipe the phone to where it does not say tampered?
I could have sworn I have tried these RUU's but I get a remote signature error.
No if you are s-on you can not flash an ruu which is an older version than the phone is currently on.
The signed and decrypted (not signed) ruu's can be found at the bottom of the second post of santods rom radio kernel thread in development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621
In order to remove the tampered flag you would need to get s-off again. I believe there is a new exploit for 4.2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51481200, if you want to go that route.
Remote sig error is because you were trying to flash an unsigned ruu while s-on.
oh well

Welp, a couple seconds in the microwave solved my dilemma. I hope. It won't come back on.
Next question, my replacement device has 4.4.2 on it. Will the current S-off tools work to flip it from S-on to S-off?

Thanks, I'm now S-Off
how would i go about going S-On in fastboot? my fiance device was thought to be returned to stock but we found out that it says Relocked but still says S-Off and when we try to use Firewater it stops after we say Yes cause for some reason its already showing S-off but the bootloader is actually locked.

[Q] M8 Switches off itself after upgrade to 5.0.1

Hi all!
I have updated my WWE M8 (HTC_001) to Android 5.0.1 (via OTA). Since that I am facing really annoying issue.
The system itself works fine, no problems with Wifi, Vinration, etc. however it is switching off by itself.
Battery is well over 50 % charge (last time it was 88% and phone has switched itself off).
I don't know if it's the system itelsf or some app running in the background.
Today I thought I am gonna try installing 5.0.1 from scratch and I have flashed RRU via recovery, still same.
So about an hour ago I decided to root it, and I have installed Android Revolution HD 34 and problem still persists.
I don't know what is the cause of that, maybe someone has faced same problem ? Any advice would be much appreciated, cause at this moment in time I am no table to downgrade AFAIK. Sunshine doesn't support ART yet, so I have to wait for downgrade... But hopefully someone will know where is the issue ?
HTC One M8 (HTC_001) WWE
Android Revolution HD 34
Rooted
TWRP 2.8.4
Bootloader unlocked
S-ON (I was S-OFF while on KK but I S-ON'ed again to get rid off red info in HTC error reporting)

well you say there that you have s-off so you can downgrade firmware, hboot and software. Once s-offed it won't go back to s-on only by specific commands.
A ruu doesn't change it either. So it's a good option to try and ruu it back to kitkat.
Or try to recalibrate the battery. You can find more info here

Whoops, I have made a mistake in my first post, I am currently S-ON. I S-OFF'ed using Sunshine as I was flashing RUU from this thread http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563.
Originally my phone was from Three UK (H3G_001) and I've had to change CID to HTC_001 to flash RUU from thread mentioned above.
Afterwards I have put my phone back to S-ON using All-In-One Toolkit.
So currently I am S-ON with no option to S-OFF (Ias far as I know), so it looks like I 'm gonna have to stick to Lollipop.
I apologise for misleading in my first post, I really don't know how could I mix S-ON with S-OFF (and vice versa).
If I would be S-OFF I would know what to do but...
Anyway I will have a go with battery re-calibration and I will post results later on. But if someone knows different way or solution please let me know.
In the meantime thank you @Mr Hofs for your reply, maybe battery re-calibration will do the trick.

There is in my opinion no reason to ever go back to s-on (aside from warranty service), so this was a serious error on your part.

Yeah, now I know that, but since this is my first Android phone, i was doing everything first time (I am glad that it is actually working at all , thanks to XDA Dev forum). If I will manage to get S-OFF again, i will keep it S-OFF...
Ok, I tried both ways to re-calibrate the battery and still no luck, just about half an hour ago the phone switch off itself again. It looks Iike I will have wait for Sunshine to be updated for Lollipop support. Unless there is other way to S-OFF...
Anyway thanks for all replies
