PREVIOUS STATE :i had previously rooted primou and was running ignorance rom and TWRP 2.5.8. also have S-ON.
CURRENT STATE : cannot boot into rom or recovery but i can see fastboot usb.
i have tried unlocking the bootloader with "Unlock_code.bin" file ,but nothing happens.
I have locked bootloader without stock recovery. and im stuck at boot loader, the only hope i can see is FASTBOOT USB. anyone plz help
More information please. What exactly happens when you reboot into recovery or system? Try unlocking the bootloader using some guide here and flash a new recovery.

RE-Lock your bootloader.
Easiest.
Just enter fastboot on your phone then use command prompt and write:
cd..
cd..
cd \fastboot
Then connect phone to cable then type:
'fastboot oem lock'
Edit: Phone must be in fastboot mode before connecting.
And then you will be able to update easily.

ya followed this guide when rooting and installing clockwork recovery...not installed any custom rom yet..just rooted in phone after unlock.
now not able to do ota which has just arrived in india
Help anyone. have relocked thephone now what. tried to do a factory reset from bootloader menu nothing happens .how do I get the phone back in condition newly bght. even clockwork recovery seems to have gone..this is so disappointing
You didn't need to lock the boot loader. Unlock it using the method you used when you unlocked your phone.
All you need to install the ota depends on what state your device is in before you start.
Are you on the stock from or a custom from?
If stock with unlocked boot loader and clockwork mod recovery then all you needed to do was flash the stock recovery reboot and do the ota.
If you were in a custom rom you will have needed to get back to stock from the nandroid backup you took, flashed stock recovery, and stock boot.img. Then reboot to stock and do OTA.

Can I flash stock image from Google's site without unlocking bootloader? My phone is defected and came without a recovery image in the software meaning I cannot update to 4.0.4 or perform factory wipes, so does this mean i cannot unlock bootloader? I need to unlock bootloader to flash stock 4.0.4 image correct?
The recovery and bootloader are seperate things. If you can boot into the bootloader you can unlock it. Hold down both volume up and down and power. It should boot you into the bootloader.
Yeah i'm pretty new to this so thanks for the response. I can get into fastboot mode by holding the power and volume buttons down but entering recovery mode does not work. I know that during the unlocking the bootloader process it causes a factory wipe, but theres no recovery image on my phone for my phone to revert back to, so what would happen?
You dont need to go into recovery to unlock your bootloader. You do it from fastboot itself. After unlocking you can flash the system image which includes the recovery.
Follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25477039&postcount=1 It will walk you through the whole process.
Thanks a lot. Im in the middle of unlocking the bootloader now and that link will really help me flash the stock image. thanks!
No problem. If you get stuck either PM me or post to this thread again.
just unlocked bootloader and flashed stock 4.0.4 flawlessly. thanks for the help. fixed all my problems!
Hello
Though i did a nandroid backup before flashing a custom recovery...
i tried to "fastboot boot" with stock recovery provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707877 , but my device simply reboot to bootloader.
I avoided to use "fastboot flash recovery stockrecoveryXXX.img" as i'm not sure what would happend
I'm only unlocked with HTCdev and S-ON.
Thank you
Hi guys. I just bricked my HTC one m9. I was trying to get it back to stock while I had a custom rom, and I set s-on back to true and locked the bootloader..
Fastboot DOES work.
I cannot enter the custom recovery mode, it says that it failed to boot to recovery.
I cannot boot into my custom rom.
I DO have an SD card. I tried to flash the RUU "0PJAIMG.zip", but it said "failed to flash downloadzip" and didn't flash..
What should I do at this point?
I can’t fine the official rom 2.11.1405.16. It’s for China. Can you help me?
Hi Guys,
Yesterday friend gave me his m8 with S-OFF but boot-loader locked. Want to flash TWRP but the commands failed. I heard that twrp can't be flashed with locked boot loader. So can I unlock it again using htc dev or it will cause problem? Or any other idea.
Phone is not running any OS stuck in boot loop.
'Thanks.
EDIT: OK SOLVED. Re-unlocked with htc dev and everything is fine. Twrp installed.

AFAIK you should be able to flash twrp with s-off&locked bootloader-only fails for s-on&locked bootloader
however you can just download a proper firmware package ( unsigned ) for your device variant
remove all the content except android-info.txt
then rename the twrp.img to recovery and zip both android-info and the recovery.img
rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and flash it in hboot
( put the zip in sd card formatted as fat32 then reboot to bootloader-hboot then it will ask you to update confirm it and you are done )
lock&unlock bootloader method but required root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
also htc dev method should work fine but no need to unlock it imo

I see you've solved your issue. FYI, it's correct you cannot flash custom recovery (unsigned recovery image) with locked bootloader; and s-off does not bypass that restriction.
