I had a HTC M8 with HTC developers edition installed 4.12
I tried to flash install SuperSU and it rebooted.. now the phone is completely unresponsive
no HTC logo,can't turn it off, can't turn it on.
I'm really hoping someone can help me recover my phone?
By the way, I am basically a noob with Androids.
update
if i hold the power button down + volume up / down
it will reboot with HTC logo , powered by android.
it then goes to a blank screen.
delete
Have you done a backup previous to rooting it, and with SU version did you use?
If you've got a backup you could try holding Vol+ and power as long until the screen goes dark, then in this exact moment switch to holding Vol- and hold it until the bookcases comes up.
Now you can go to recovery and restore the backup. If you have accomplished that use a cmd and enter the fastboot getvar all command and post it here, without IMEI and Serial No. Maybe one can find a RUU to flash back to Stock.

hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I spent all day googling, trying to figure out how to fix it and haven't been successful yet. I'll tell you what I did.
If I tried to hold down the volume buttons and power buttons, it would restart the phone, the HTC logo would appear and then the screen would go blank, so
I installed ADB and Fastboot on my computer, and I was able to type
ADB reboot-bootloader and that brought up the Fastboot / HBoot menu
I then flashed TWRP to the phone, and tried to install a new version of the Developers Edition from HTC using their RUU (from their website) but it failed.
Last ditch effort, was trying to flash SkyDragon but there was not enough space on my phone so it failed with a 'Not enough Space' error.
I then read some instructions that mentioned deleting the cache, so I did this, but now, when I connect my phone to ADB, it always says OFFLINE and I can't connect to fastboot or ADB.
I am really hoping I haven't made it even worse.

Hi,
Unfortunately I didn't make any backups, mainly because I use auto-sync to the cloud.
I followed your instructions and got to the recovery menu
It says:
** Software status: Modified **
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
Radio-1.25.214500021.0GG
OpenDSP-V48.2.2.000564-M8974_FO.1211
OS-4.16.401.10
emmc-boot 2048mb
Ok will check if there is a RUU to be found tomorrow morning and report back what to do after it.

Hold both power button + volume up, when the screen turn blank, release both button and hold & press volume down button. This will take you to hboot.
Select recovery then try again to install SuperSU 2.65 or 2.64 (don't use any other version)
When done, reboot but when TWRP offer to install root, don't install.. just reboot
and see how it goes.
If still unsuccessful, relock bootloader and install the Dev Ed RUU - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

Just forget it ... your post #1 made me believe that you have a Dev Edition but your other post show you have a EU device.
I already deleted my previous post, so ignore it .. won't work for you.
Just wait for the other guy's help
Or ... seeing you're not sure how to use a RUU based on your above post, I suggest that you restore a 4.16.401.10 stock non-rooted backup and its matching recovery (no need to relock bootloader) then do OTA to 4.16.401.13
You can get all the files and How-To in my thread linked in my signature
Then you can install any custom Dev ED Marshmallow ROM that available in Development section if you want to, no need to root as they are pre-rooted.
Or you can root the stock ROM with no problem with the root offer in TWRP.

So here we go. You can download the RUU here here. It's an executable for Windows PC. Start your M8 into bootloader, connect it to your PC and execute the file I posted in my link. This will help you to get back to a full stock International M8.

Thank you.
I booted my M8 into Bootloader and then ran the file, unfortunately, I get an error:
ERROR 155 Unknown Error
When I follow the on screen instructions from the RUU, which tells me to remove the USB, the Bootloader screen appears
on my phone and it says 'Security Fail'
RUU
Is this because I modified by phone after I bought it?
It's an EU phone from Romania, but I later went to the HTC site and unlocked it and installed the Developers edition onto it, at least I thought I did.
Have you relocked your bootloader prior to executing the file? Has to be done for a RUU to work on an M8. When in bootloader start a CMD on your PC and navigate to your adb folder. Then type "fastboot oem lock" and right away "fastboot reboot bootloader" to verify that it says relocked at the top. If so execute the RUU once more.
BTW don't remove it from USB while flashing until flash has been completed otherwise the flash is going to fail.

help bricked m8
i bricked my m8 while tring to flash marshmallow in it with twrp now its stuck in the swiring screen ...i left it there till it died..the real issue is that my voulme down isnt working..is there anyway i can enter recovery?
Only if the M8 ist recognized by adb and fully booted, as then you could reboot to recovery by "adb reboot recovery".
But as I understood you are now on stock again by RUU aren't you!?
It's a risk to try to flash Custom Recovery and ROM, without been able to boot to bootloader by using hardware buttons, as if you get stuck again there won't be an easy way out of it.

He can't be stock by RUU because a RUU is not flashed via TWRP. And he never mentioned to try to flash a custom recovery, he's already on TWRP. And an issue with the volume rocker is always a problem, on a perfectly stock device or a custom modded one.....issue stays the same

Try the ADB command or get the volume button fixed. That's about it what you can do.

I recently got my HTC One M8, and I was trying to follow a tutorial on htc-one wonder how to (I cant link it). It links to other tutorials for pre-requisits, and I fell down the rabbit hole trying to get pre-req after pre-req. I spent about 2 days non stop on this and I'm pretty sure I screwed up pretty bad.
I'm think I wrote the recovery image to the boot sector by accident...or something like that
What I have:
1. . My computer recognizes my phone in fastboot. I can transfer files to and from. I am not sure if adb works.
2. I can access TWRP by hitting "Recovery" in fastboot. I think this means I have a custom recovery successfully installed.
3. The InsertCoin rom (insertcoin-m8_5.0.6_ART) is installed and I can boot to it. I was not going to keep it, but I needed it for one of the steps. Wifi does not work so any files have to be added manually via usb.
4. My bootloader is unlocked
5. I have S-ON
6. I have Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed and it works. I also have Hansoon200's All In One HTC One M8 Toolkit
7. This is a brand new phone so I don't care about my data.
I'd like to get back to stock so I can try to run Firewater (will not work without internet. Wifi is broken on the rom) and get S-OFF (needed for Google Play Edition). How can I go about this?
I apologize in advance, I've been at this for days. I wouldn't post unless I was really stuck. I appreciate any help you can provide. I will gladly provide any additional information
Thanks

couple of things ... firewater is over it no longer works. Sunshine will most likely s-off your phone (for $25)
If TWRP works it's not on the wrong partition. you have no wifi becouse you did not update your firmware .. it says this in every rom thread.
so your steps now are find the nandroid and stock recovery to go back to stock Here > COLLECTION of Stock backup's

Thanks! I'm going to try this. Will post with updates
So I'm going through that thread, and I think I know what to do. The main problem is finding the correct files. Then I use the terminal, fastboot getvar version-main the result is blank and fastboot oem readcid returns SPCS_001. However there does not seem to be a Nandroid matching those values. Any ideas?

look in the Sprint forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one-m8
Hi,
I´ve had a problem for about a month now. I always look for the solution before even thinking about creating a new thread, but this time I´m stumped, I really don´t know what to do. I have a HTC One M8 Developer Unlocked edition; I bought it off of Amazon. A few months ago I rooted it because I wanted to use Pushbullet. After a few tries I got it working with TWRP.
A few weeks ago I learned that Lollipop was being released and I wanted to upgrade my phone, unfortunately you can´t get it unless the phone is unrooted, so I tried that. I followed theunlockr guide "How to unroot the htc one m8" up to the point of switching S-ON.
After that I tried to upgrade to Lollipop, it didn´t work. The phone would get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark would appear. This has happened every single time I tried to install the upgrade.
After that I tried to reset to factory using RUU, but I couldn´t do it. I got the error 150… Now I have a supposedly stock ROM but I can´t install Lollipop… Can you help me? This whole story comes to this.. How can I revert my M8 back to stock so I can get Lollipop?
Right now it has S-ON, if that helps.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it´s not my native language.
1. There is no need to change S-Off to S-On
2. There is no need to unroot when you're not sure how-to
3. When the phone get stuck in the installing screen, and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark appear, press and hold volume up and tap power button once, it will give you the error log then you'll know what are the problems that stopping the update
4. When you use a RUU when S-On, you need to relock bootloader before you run RUU

That's your problem.
You have a Dev Edition installed but using EU stock recovery.
You need Dev Edition stock recovery.
If you can't find one, copy the OTA zip from internal storage/Download folder to PC. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out recovery.img
This recovery.img is what you need.
Or try this one : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.1540.5_recovery.img/download

I guess some of the system files are not pure stock.
The easiest way is run RUU.
1. Download Dev Ed RUU : http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe
2. RUU will wipe all in internal storage. Make a backup of your files before you run RUU
3. Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode
4. If your device is S-On
a-relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
b-run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)
5. If your device is S-Off - run RUU (select run as administrator in your windows explorer context menu)

It worked, after I ran the RUU it automatically installed Lollipop. I can't thank you enough, really. One last thing before I stop bothering you, for future reference, how can I check the version of my software, how can I know if I have the BrightstarUS, instead of the EU version?
Anyway, the last thing is not that important. I really thank you!

Great :good::good:
How to know ? Simple
Check the OS no. written on bootloader or run command fastboot getvar all
You'll see the version-main no.
x.xx.401.x is EU
x.xx.1540.x is Dev Ed (BrightstarUS)

Yup, I got the Dev edition. Thank you for your time and your instructions!.
I am currently on KK Revolution 9.1 and trying to upgrade the firmware to the new 4.28.502.1 so I can get LP and when I get into the ADB and try to flash it, it states "Remote: Not allowed" . The phone is s-off and unlocked. Do I need to relock it and unlock it again?? Ideas?? Starting to lose support for some of the items on KK.

AT&T devices are totally compatible with WWE/International firmware, and S-Off allows you to install that.
You are on AT&T, correct? Because 4.28.502.1 is from that carrier. If not, let me/us know and don't follow these instructions.
This is the easiest way, and you don't need a PC to do it.
Download this firmware.
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) using a file explorer and place it onto the root of your extSD (not in a folder).
Boot into bootloader by powering off your phone, then turning it on by holding down both the power button and vol down.
Select hboot if it doesn't automatically (vol buttons to navigate~power button to select) and follow the prompts (vol up to flash~power to reboot).
That should be it. Delete the renamed zip from your extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.
Then go back to bootloader and confirm that it says 4.16.401.10 next to OS.
Congratulations! You are now on Lollipop firmware and can flash the newest ROMs.

You don't need to relock with s-off. Something else is going on. Post your getvar data (be sure to delete IMEI and serial number as these are personal info).

It did it but now there is red lettering one the screen. How do I get that taken off and please point me to the directions for wiping the old ROM and installing the new. I had it on my screen in the form yesterday and now I can't find it again.

Here is the bigger issue, for some reason, the phone can't get past the opening screen. The only way I have found to get past this is to power drain the phone. Once done, you can boot into recovery. Then, I can start again. Must be some sort of circuity blocking this.

As @redpoint73 said earlier, post your getvar. Hook up to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot and enter the command fastboot getvar all.
I was helping someone else with AT&T last night on the VenomROMs website, and mistakenly thought you were superCID when it was him. That won't be a problem though. It will abort with a CID mismatch.
The reason I suggested WWE firmware is that Marshmallow is coming out soon and WWE will get it way before AT&T updates.
If you want to stay on AT&T firmware, you could run the official RUU from HTC's US website.
Post your getvar, and we can go from there.

OK here should be the final solution, when you are in fastboot/hboot screen you must enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then once you see the black screen with HTC logo then you may flash the firmware, you can not flash firmwares on PC while fastboot is actively running, but of course run the firmware flash command TWICE! first flash it will fail because HBOOT gets updated by it self, then on second flash the rest of the firmware files get updated.
If you have S-OFF then you never have to lock your bootloader again.
Hey everyone, so I am pretty sure I bricked my HTC10.
To Start off my specs are the HTC 10 Unlocked version
htc_pmewl
CID: BS_US001/BS_US002
MID: 2PS650000
OS: 1.80.617.1
OpenDSP: 18.2.8996.00524_0321
(orignially Stock ROM)
I was trying to reset everything to stock settings before I returned the phone (Unrooting, Locked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, etc) and everything was going fine until after I rewrote the S-OFF flag to S-ON (I'm pretty sure it happened there, maybe when I relocked the bootloader?). Now I don't have a ROM, the CID and MID's are missing on the fastboot (download-mode) page. The Bootloader is relocked, and I have a stock recovery.
I tried going here to get the RUU's and everything to fix what I had done. However the RUU.exe gives me a error 120 Low Battery when I run it (Even though I have a fully charged battery). I tried going to a different PC to run the RUU, but the RUU never runs past the initial install.
I also tried re-unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall TWRP and flash that way. Unlocking went fine, but when I try to flash the twrp img via fastboot I get an error (9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL recovery and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED).
I'm really at my wits end here. I haven't actually done anything this stupid in all of my customizing my M8, S6, Razr or all my tablets so I honestly don't know what to do. If you guys could throw me a lifeline I'd be grateful.
Thanks
Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?
See if you can get a system.img to flash manually. If you can get an OS boot you should be able to fix your device.

Using the adb shell command (recovery --wipe_data)? Yeah I've tried that, but I get a device not found error. adb isn't working right now, however I am still able to get fastboot commands, and the phone recognizing them at least. Otherwise, no I haven't what would I need to do?
@tw1tch175 is right. Try to find an untouched system image first and try to flash it in download mode.
Could you in addition tell a bit more about what you did to reset the device to stock instead of flashing a RUU in the first place prior to writing secureflag 3!? And further more what did you do prior to it, did you flash unsigned firmware, or one of the "no red text on boot" aboot provided here!?

Are you making sure you are in download mode for fastboot commands. Also double check your driver in the device manager.
Edit: woops re-read, and he meant use the UI in the factory recovery to reset

Sure. I originally ran the factory wipe/reset via the ROM (Which was the stock rom). Then after that I booted up into the download mode, tried relocking the bootloader with fastboot oem lock. I also flashed the stock recovery for my model. Once I saw that I had the stock recovery on, the bootloader was locked, and everything else, I tried to do a twrp restore and relock it, but it wasn't working so I said "Screw it" and rewrote the secureflag, rebooted and...yeah everything was gone.
The only thing I did before all of this was when I got the phone unlock the bootloader, SOFF, Custom Recovery, and sideload super SU for root. The only "unofficial" radios/firmware/etc I had was the Verizon Radio on my phone.
Other than that I kept it clean. I'm looking for an image now to try that.

Yes. I just figured that out while searching haha. I did go through and use the UI, but I had no luck. I am looking for an img like you said but I am not having luck so far. Is there one of the Stock guide on my original post?
Ok so for ALL HTC the only proper way to s-on is to use fastboot/download and for oem writesecureflag 3, you should NEVER EVER EVER us echo/dd /hexeditor to go s-on.
For 2016+ phones, you should use sunshine or another tool to go from unlock/relocked to lock, do NOT use anything not designed for the phone in question, or attempt to do it manually. I can only vouch for SunShine's capability to safely change the bootloader status, I can't vouch for any other method or tool. I know SunShine does it right.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/psa-htc-10-s-off-s-lock-unlock-t3371264 for my PSA on the subject.
If the phone won't flash with a proper RUU, well you need to find someone with a EMMC write tool to rewrite all your firmware, this is probably going to run $100-200.

So as I thought. You indeed flashed - at least parts - of an unofficial firmware. Prior to relocking the bootloader with SunShine, as well as setting S-ON you should've taken care that ALL its stock. A simple factory reset in the ROM settings wasn't enough.
I'd guess that the wrong radio led to a problem when booting with stock recovery of your ROM, relocked bootloader and secureflag set to S-ON.
If I saw it correctly all RUUs for your device are *.exe files. Best would be to extract the ROM.zip from this exe, using 7zip, rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip, place it on an external SDCard (formatted extFAT or FAT32) and reboot to download mode, to give it a shot.
Hope this will help.
Edit: ... nvm... @jcase ninja'd me. Wanted to post the exact same link.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. Wouldn't have been the only thing that slipped my mind. I lost access to my Steam authenticator too. I was able to get the zip from the exe file like you said, after I put that on an SD card and boot to download mode do I just fastboot flash zip?
If there's one thing I remember when using Sunshine to go S-OFF on two different HTC 10's it was that it mentioned something about going S-ON and how something wasn't guaranteed, I forget what exactly, but if I remember correctly I understood it as you shouldn't go back to S-ON because it wasn't guaranteed to work or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That is in regards to wiping data, earlier versions of sunshien wiped data on all htc 10 going s-off, thats not the issue here. Issue here is he improperly set the phone lock/s-on. Gotta use sunshine to set it locked, and fastboot to set s-on.
Hey Everyone just wanted to give an update since yesterday evening.
Just wanted to give out some props to @5m4r7ph0n36uru . Following his advice of extracting the Rom.zip from RUU .exe I was able to run it in download mode and loaded up an OS on the phone. So Now I am unbricked! Yay. I had to find out how to do that using process monitor and everything, but it was a success. and I can breathe easy. Thankfully doing that was easier that doing the Database call handler stuff from today at work XD
Thankfully my lesson is learned and I'll flash correctly to full stock next time. Thank you all for your help in the matter.

Hello,
Just to inform that if I try to run RUU.exe from PC when the phone is in bootloader menu, I get battery low error. However, if I "boot to download mode" in the bootloader menu, I can run the RUU.exe from the computer without any error.
My phone is having a bowl of bootloops right now lol.
I have a unlocked htc 10, i unlocked the bootloader (S-on since leedroid thread didn't say it was necessary), flashed the latest TWRP formatted data part, rebooted recovery again, swiped allow modifications, flashed the marshmallow version of the ROM and nothing but bootloops. what am i missing? thanks
first time HTC owner here coming from a 6p so show mercy

I was on latest stock nougat before I started the process. since the I have tried flashing both leedroid marshmallow zip and the nougat magisk zip also. and what's the deal with s-off?
Everywhere i look they're all how to's about s-off lol. seems hard to find a thread on what s-off is, if it's needed to for a specific ROM or not :/ that being said leedroid it wasn't needed as quoted below. thanks!
If you wish to s-off first, please follow >> THIS GUIDE << by @jcase & return when your device is back up and running.

hmmmm according to that post the TWRP i flashed should have reverted on reboot and that hasn't been the case at all since it has survived multiple reboots... any thoughts on that?
"...Basically, all changes made to these partitions while the phone is running is not permanent, and will be reset upon a reboot..."
EDIT: also does that mean unless I have S-off none of the custom ROMs will flash? so what's the point of unlocking a bootloader is that needs to be disabled also

Keep in mind the date on that post is from a few years back (2012). You can't put all your eggs into one basket, so to speak. I was just giving you 1 article I found from a simple Google Search. Encryption and TWRP have changed quite a lot, especially since Nougat.
From my small amount of time, I think you may be confused about what the difference is between an unlocked bootloader and S-OFF, which I'd need to even go back and read that article, but thought it touched a little on it
The 10 has changed quite a bit too from past phones. Before you'd need to be S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. Now S-OFF unlocked and S-OFF locked are basically the same, but that can be found in threads if you'd like to find more info on that.
Most the info is there, you just need to search. If you need help finding articles, I can try and help with that. I've been surprised with the great info I've found after awhile of coming up empty.
I'm just now seeing all the new posts that came from before I posted and have been on my phone and don't have the time to catch up on it all right now.
Hope things get squared away for you soon, I'll check in when I can.
It seemed you were in a simple bootloop, but I'm not 100%. I think your issue was flashing MM ROM on N firmware. Can't do that.
Also, Verizon doesn't allow us to unlock bootloader on Htc-dev. So if we want to root, we must S-OFF.

What method have you tried for the SW?
is it an RUU or just firmware?
I suggest the sdcard method.
Make sure to have the correct htc_fastboot.exe over the standard fastboot.exe, this could be the cause of your failure.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258327
Either remove your current fastboot.exe and rename this one to it, or keel it as htc_fastboot.exe and use the correct, htc_fastboot flash, over fastboot flash

Make sure to have the correct htc_fastboot.exe over the standard fastboot.exe, this could be the cause of your failure. hmmm well I used fastboot.exe from minimal adb & fasboot to unlock bootloader and that worked fine, and should i still i just replace fastboot in platform tools folder with fastboot.exe from htc website?
also so s-off shouldn't be needed to install the ROMs? just bootloader unlock?

Keep in mind this is me helping in my free time.
Use the linked htc_fastboot.. It's made for htc, it's why I mentioned it..
I've seen many ppl have RUU fail by not using this.
Also an RUU/firmware have 3 methods to install.
I suggest the sd-card method. Safest.
Search. Search. Search. ...
Option 1
Copy 2PS6IMG.zip (THIS IS FOR VERIZON, YOUR CARRIER WILL NEED TO BE RENAMED CORRECTLY) to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!
--Taken from
Also read here. This is a great thread.
There's a lot of info out there.
Just search and do your homework.
It's easy to turn that device into a useless brick.
Especially being S-OFF... Secuirty-off..
I know it can be overwhelming, but the info is out there, and if not, just ask, as others most likely have the same question and this will help them.
And correct, with S-OFF isn't needed to flash ROMs. Only bootloader unlock.

my bad, i hope i didn't come off rude or anything. i do appreciate all your help and i understand it. I do the same here when i have the free time.
I will ask some question's on both those threads you linked. I came across one of them but no s-off and didn't wanna pay for sunshine app. also topjohnwu thread about stock and guides would be helpful if it listed which phones the code names correlate to.
in the end I see your point, keep researching and asking. and I do that very often and promise. today was different since a bunch of PC failed to install updates at work (post wannacry) lol and dealing with my bootlooping phone, my mind was scattered. iv'e bricked before but never on a phone this expensive *__*
thanks again andy!
JUST AN UPDATE: i restored via twrp after i got the bootlooping to stop. I completely forgot I had made one -__- (more scatter brains) so I'm good to go now.... kinda.

Fastboot isn't recognized? As in it's not working?

gotcha and thanks! so for anyone else who wants to help. I have regained access to download mode and bootloader. when attempting to run latest official RUU.exe from HTC's site, i get error 155. via HTC the error means I'm using the wrong update but my phone reports SW 2.48.617.1 and I'm trying to update it to SW 2.48.617.3.
also i have relocked the bootloader and have s-off.

2.48.617.3? I don't think there is such a thing. Do you mean 2.41.617.3?

1st things 1st, SOS is no more. was trying to flash leedroid magisk file, thinking it was a ROM until i noticed the file size so I went back to stock via TWRP backup (i forgot I made) since RUU was giving 155 error.
2nd the HTC fastboot wasn't working for some reason.. adb devices cmd detected nothing, it worked at my job though since i have android studio/platform tools there (shrug) so used that fastboot instead.
3rd I did mean SW 2.48.617.1 that's the exact OS version # that download mode reports currently and was the last official update i took several days before going custom route.

Okay. Cool that you got it fixed. But you did say you were trying to update from 2.48.617.1 to 2.48.617.3, so that's why I said there was no .3
