Need help restoring my m9 device - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to install android m on my s-on M9, after i installed the ota and the SO, i got stock on the bootloader. So i restore my phone but it didnt help and my SD got corrupted or something like that because now i dont have any images for doing a restore.
So please any advice, i dont have anything on the phone to restore or install, i have access to the recovery and the download mode,

Could you provide the result of the "fastboot getvar all" command in download mode?
Don't get me wrong I just need a little bit more information to be abled to help and show you the correct way to restore your device to stock.

[Q]How can I get back to stock from a custom rom?

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

M8 stuck in bootloop, adb not detecting phone. Flashing RUU with SD card gets error.

Right, so I wanted to install an OTA update on my rooted EE HTC M8. I followed this guide: "Unbrick/Unroot/Restore HTC One M8 to Stock 4.4.4!" on youtube (won't let me post links yet) and after flashing back to a stock recovery and unrooting the phone through SuperSU I attempted to install the OTA update.
I don't know if I did something wrong or the guide just sucked, but now it gets stuck on the boot screen every time. I can still access the bootloader and get into the stock recovery, but wiping cache/system restore doesn't help, I can't flash anything through adb as it doesn't detect my device and trying any commands just hangs on 'waiting on device'. My only option seems to be flashing an 0P6BIMG.zip from the bootloader by putting it on my SD card, but I can't seem to find a RUU that will work with my ORANG001 CID or 4.19.61.3 OS.
I tried a few when I didn't know RUUs were location/carrier specific and it would load the image fine then reboot but still get stuck on boot screen, and I tried this RUU: "0P6BIMG_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401. 10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_relea se_417809_signed" but I just get a 'Device halted due to Large Image update fail!' error.
I can't find any advice online specific to my issue, and my tech savvy mate who's also owned an m8 isn't available to help out at the moment, so I thought someone on here might be able to help with my situation. I'm going to take it into an EE store tomorrow but I don't know if they will be able to help.

Chek this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759905 post 9 and 27, I had a similar issue and it worked, once you get the bootloader mode you can flash a RUU zip file

Phone automatically starts into bootloader and flashing doesnt work

So as you might have heard, android 6.0 is out on htc one m8 now, and as usual i wanted to update. I got my device into a bootloop after unrooting and downloading some OTA's online, and messing around with stuff that didnt work.
But now im rly stuck, when i boot my phone up it automatically boots into bootloader. I cant flash a boot.img because i get a signature verify fail. Updating with RUU returns error 130 and factory resetting doesnt do anything at all(in fastboot and in recovery). plzzzz help
Hi,
Did you try to reflash your recovery and try to install another rom like ViperOne M8? Or if you want i can send you the stock ROM Android 6.0

You seem to be going about things rather haphazardly:
1) Not sure exactly what "some OTAs" refers to. But there is typically only one OTA that will properly work. That being the one that is for your CID (carrier version) and for the next software version (can't skip any).
2) Along the same lines, you can't just flash any RUU. It has to be for your CID and MID (Error 130 usually means wrong MID), and equal or greater version number than main version on the phone (no "downgrading" unless you have s-off).
3) "messing around with stuff that didnt work" doesn't tell us anything about how you got to the current condition. You need to be specific and detailed, if you want us to be able to tell what you did, and how to recovery.
4) You can't unroot and OTA, it has to be a stock (never rooted) ROM and stock recovery.
5) boot.img in itself probably won't help your situation. And signature verify fail usually means you tried to flash without the bootloader unlocked (which won't work).
Are you S-OFF? If so, this works;
1) Download 0P6BIMG.zip. You'll have to Google
"dottat @ XDA M8 RUU" to get the file as I haven't
made at least ten posts here and can't post links yet.
2) Place 0P6BIMG.zip on an SD card formatted fat32 ONLY.
3) Boot your phone, allow HBOOT to recognize 0P6BIMG.zip
and follow the prompts.
RESULT: This will land you on STOCK kitkat 1.55.605.2
pre-rooted with stock recovery.

Restore Problems

I have been running cyanogenmod for a while now and would like to go back to stock. I googled some methods and tried them out. I relocked my bootloader and ran the ruu exe that I found on htc's website for the tmobile m8. It didn't work at all. It just put my phone in a weird state with just a silver HTC logo on the screen. Although before I clicked next, the RUU was not able to identify the version of the rom currently on the phone. Maybe that has to do something with it? But after that, I had to re unlock the bootloader though fastboot adb, flash twrp through there and then restore my backup. I am not very well versed with these processes, but can someone please help me out with getting back to complete stock? Oh, and I also don't have s-off on my device. I tried to get it, but I had a PIE error in the root adb shell.
Thanks!

Htc One M8 Factory reset gone very wrong

Hello everyone I'm new around here as a member but I've been using this site to custom my android devices since my Samsung galaxy s (the first one), you guys are the best. But now I have a problem and I just can't find the solution. So my htc one m8 (best phone I had my entire life) yesterday I've decided to give it to my father as I upgraded. And I wanted to make a factory reset. As I was late for work I started the factory reset and I left for work. When I came home, disaster. The phone reseted but It's a mess so I will try to also put a video. So the phone does not have the setting app, and also I can't open the settings through the shortcut in the bar. And also I can't connect to mobile data, wireless, nothing. I reseted again. Same thing. Also it's not recognised by my laptop. I'm really out of option. I searched all the internet for a solution to flash some kind of rom but I can't even activate USB debugging cause I don't have settings on. I know for sure that the device is s-on and unlocked. I really don't know other details as I can't go into "about" section. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.
Ps: I see that I cannot upload the link from YouTube with my video so the name of the video is: Htc one m8 after factory reset
other details as in "about" is not important.
The one that is important is the fastboot getvar all result, post it here then we'll see what you need.
sorry for late response

Which RUU that you tried to install ? You can only install 6.13.771.4 RUU and also you need to use htc_fastboot to install, not the generic fastboot and locked/relocked bootloader.
Is your device bootloader unlocked ? If it is and you have latest TWRP installed, you can restore non-rooted stock backup which you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
I don't think 6.13.771.4 ruu is available so the above is your best option.

I don t think that I have twrp installed. My device was unlocked, but I relocked it. Trying to flash that ruu. So I may have screwed up?
