Bootloop on stock! - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no idea what's happened but all of a sudden my phone stopped booting up, from having looked around the relevant information seems to be the bootloader screen and "fastboot getvar all" so I've included those below. Does anyone know what's going on?

I removed the IMEI but nnot he MEID because the fact that it's all zero's may be relevant.
Another thing was from what I read the model ID seems to be European but the bootloader model seems to be telling me that it's a US phone. I bought the phone online so that may be relevant. I could be entirely wrong though! I'm from the UK if that's relevant?

You should also remove the serial number.

I agree, it looks like AT&T or Dev Edition that was "converted" by previous owner to be Euro (401).
I'd suggest finding the signed 4.16.401 RUU and try running it, to see if if fixes your bootloop. Any user data will be lost when you RUU.

Need help getting Developer Edition back to stock

My office recently purchased a used HTC One M8 Developer Edition device for testing purposes. I was under the impression that it was stock, but I was wrong. It had TWRP installed. The system alerted me that there's a system update, but when I try to install it, it just boots into TWRP. I managed to flash the stock recovery back to it, but when I try to apply the update, it just boots to the fastboot screen, and does nothing.
Here's all of the info I've got about the phone:

You could just flash the developer RUU. Either Lock the bootloader and flash it via a PC (with htc sync installed) or put it on an sdcard and see and flash it from that.
Reading the Instructions helps. (PC Install)
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
Latest RUU on their website is newer then the one you have flashed.
Thanks @Tachi91! I appreciate the nudge in the right direction!

New to Android: How would I revert back to unrooted with all flags removed?

So I made the silly and utterly stupid mistake of rooting my HTC m8. I don't want to brick my phone, so if anybody can help me out that would be great.
I want to remove all red flags, and install the latest 5.0 OTA update.
I also cracked my screen a while ago, and I want to send it back to get it fixed.
I am S Off with 4.4.4 currently.
Once again, any help would be great.
First things first, can you post the output of fastboot getvar all, making sure not to post your IMEI and Serial Number (for security purposes). We can then go from there
I'm not sure, but I doubt they'll fix your screen for free... Unless you bought extra coverage? Not to mention if you unlocked on HTC site, your warranty is void anyway. Usually.
Just wanted to bring this up. ?
Oh, my point is, if they're going to charge you anyway... No point in returning to stock.

Is the bootloader screen black or white?
Post your getvar all output (be sure to delete your IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data) as we need a lot more info than what you posted, in order to help properly.

I think we are having a language issue, but you really need to try to read my previous post more carefully:

But I believe you are not actually "converted" to GPE (white bootloader screen would verify this) and you can just flash a Sense ROM or restore a stock Sense nandroid, to get back to Sense.
@redpoint73
just in case, if it is a full GPE conversion, he can use this (due to the smaller system partition) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57631284&postcount=7

Sensor_hub ... Damaged ... Any solution ?

Hi guys, i screwed up .... Was trying to go back to STOCK version and i think i screwed up the sensors --> Auto-Rotate doesn't work, Flashlight too, take 2 seconds to show the screen if it was off --> (by clicking the power button), double tap doesn't work too.
So i tried to go to stock, erase everything etc .... Nothing is working. Any help ? Please ...
Hello,
I would like to help, but you must provide much more details about what happened. How did you go about getting back to stock? From which rom? to which rom? Can you do a "get var all"?
Cheers

Excellent, you're on the international version. However, your post includes some private information (unique identifiers) that -for your privacy and safety - shouldn't be posted. Please, either delete your post, or edit it to remove the serial number and imei.
Many people have complaints about the latest update to marshmallow, with similar system problems. For example, sensors not working properly, camera malfunction, screen malfunction, inaccessible internal & external memories, and or, sudden death
My proposed solution is simple: RE-flash your firmware & rom from stock source, then hardreset your phone to factory condition.
Cheers.

Following is a link to HTC's official stock RUU, and instructions to flash it. This will install your phone's current firmware/software from scratch.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
To flash the RUU zip file:
A. You need to put it at the root of your SD CARD and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (first character is a zero, and careful not to rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip.zip)
B. Turn your phone off, then start it into bootloader. It will recognize the 0P6BIMG.zip file and give you instructions in RED for proceeding forward.
C. Follow the instructions in RED to flash. You will lose all data as the RUU will format all partitions.
Cheers
shirreer posted the best way to flash it, so I'm just gonna add here, I bought a GSM M8, originally an Australian variant (0P6B11000) and I S-OFF'd it and converted it to the Intl version with 6.12.401.4 and it's very stable, everything works fine, including double tap, flashlight, auto rotate and all other features. Only thing that sucks is the extremely horrible battery life, which was somewhat fixed with a re-calibration, but it still drains.
Ok i am gonna trying it AGAIN actually. Already done your solution. Last time i have done this, it was bypassing the sensor_hub, which is super weird. But i'll let you know. Downloading it right now, and going to flash it soon.
Edit After Flashing :
Sensor_hub; TP (2); SBL1 (3) are bypassed....
So yea... still same situation i flashed it as you said and explained. Sensor hub is bypassed. I hard reset as you said. Nothing changed... So basically .... i am screwed ....
No one has an answer for me ?..... Come on guys .... there must be something .... FYI bluetooth not working i think.

Problem with M8s with S-on

What i have tried doing so far was to try unlock the bootloader and also tried using one of the RUU files. The bootloader failed (on the terminal it completed everything and the phone rebooted to the phase where it asks for confirmation. After the confirmation, it reboots back to the same white ***Locked*** screen. Im assuming the Locked means the bootloader is still locked.) The RUU exe fails due to Error 171( no idea what it means). I just tried
*Edit: So i tried following what was said in this thread. When i put the sd card in, the phone displays CID incorrect, Update fail. I am unsure why it says this as i picked an RUU that had the same radio number as the phone. (0PKVIM[email protected]60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed is the one i tried using)
Any ideas what steps to take? Thanks in advance
Error 171 is a connection error, meaning the RUU can't connect to/find your phone.
Edit: after your SD method, what was the error code?
