Proper Pickle with M9

Hi hoping someone can help me - I've just wasted two days trying to get my phone to work again, but right now, it only goes to the bootloader.
I have HTC One M9, with S-ON, rooted, with TWRP bootloader installed. I can not get any ROMs to install at all - actually, they do install, just don't boot. I believe this is because I don't have the correct firmware version installed. I can't get any firmware to install. When trying to update firmware, I get;-
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware_M9.ziptarget reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
sending 'zip' (61607 KB)...
OKAY [ 5.419s]
writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) ERR ZIP ERROR, exit read zip loop
(bootloader) ERR ZIP signature checking failed...
(bootloader) Update zip file OK
(bootloader) ERR ZIP ERROR CODE, 19
(bootloader) [email protected]
I think this is because of the S-ON.
Can someone please help me, otherwise I'm going to have to throw this thing in the bin, and buy a new phone?
Thanks, Seth

M9 Nougat Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I come from MaximusHD and I'm very eager to install the new stock rom, BUT:
No matter if I download the extracted zip or extract it my self from RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.14.617.6.exe, both my M9 and my W10 box insists that the zip-file is corrupt. I'm not able to copy the file to my device, and if i fastboot it I get this error:
fastboot.exe flash zip D:\Downloads\0PJAIMG.zip
target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

I tried extracting the rom.zip from 2 different machines with the same result. 7-zip just says invalid zip archive.
Even if I download older roms like the ones found on http://www.androidruu.com/ I get corrupt zip file error.
Furthermore I have investigated the CID om my device and have found, that the cidvar is not set:
fastboot.exe getvar cid
cid:

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately that did not work either - same zip-error.

New Firmware gave me a CID.

Unfortunately GSM does not work after firmware update :crying:

THE FOLLOWING WILL WIPE ALL PHONE DATA INCLUDING THINGS ON INTERNAL SD CARD
I downloaded the ota and then the ruu , installed stock recovery and put cid and mid of developer edition.
I pulled out the firmware from the ota , flashed it .
Then i used the ruu normally , and it worked without any problem.
That's how i got it to work coming from custom rom.

My carrier is Videotron (canada) but my CID is not the good one and it is S-OFF. If you have any idea please let me know. Thanks

What's the current firmware of your phone? (Boot to download mode and look at the line with OS at the beginning for finding out.) What's the original naming of the RUU you tried to flash before you renamed it? What's your current CID? (It's either stated in download mode or you need to use "fastboot getvar cid".)

Problems with Phone /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp

I got an HTC One (M9) from a friend that no longer uses it and when you boot up it does ask for the last email registered to this device. It will not allow me to do anything in RUU mode or command line without repeating the same message over and over.

Now doing some research I see the spot that was not checked was by pressing the build number 6 times and it is a checkbox allowing you to enter the mode to flash different roms or even to flash this back to stock but I do not know how I could change that.
If changing that checksum is not possible, is there a way I could contact google or HTC to see which email is associated with the lock so that I can bring it back to the guy I bought it from and have him enter that email and password allowing me to change that checkbox then reset the phone again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated!

[HELP] AUS/Optus Model - Deleted OS

This is probably the dumbest thing I have to date :C
At the start of last year I rooted my device and unlocked it, fast forward to the start of this week I tried updating my device but it kept on launching TWRP, so I decided to factory reset it.
However I was a big spud and used advanced wipe - and now the phone will boot straight to the bootloader.
Before I post anything else here is the getvar from download mode.
Code:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) version-main: 2.9.710.2
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 01.04_U11440601_71.02.50709G_F
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: OPTUS001
The device is currently in s-on, and I can't remember if it was ever in s-off because it was a long time ago when I rooted it.
I have tried flashing a custom rom with no success, and just recently I have downloaded and tried to flash "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.32.710.16_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_427214_signed.zip"
This is the error I receive while trying to flash the device in fastboot.

I don't have any backups of any sort - basically I just want to be able to get this phone running back on stock and leave it at that.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this? My phone has been broken for 3 days and I've wasted a lot of time downloading roms that won't flash (takes a while to download on my crappy ADSL connection).
I should also note I do not have an external SD card, hoping to do it without buying one.
Thanks heaps.

Please read the ReadMe thread. Its RUU section explains why you can't flash the RUU that you mentioned in your OP and why flashing M9 RUUs in general fails if you use fastboot.
After you downloaded the correct files you can try to flash a RUU with the modified fastboot instead of using an SD card. Troubleshooting tips can be found in the FAQ of the same thread. Be aware, that using an SD card is the recommended method since many users aren't able to set up a fastboot environment correctly and using an SD card is less time-consuming than trying to find the user error that prevents fastboot from working correctly.
