help: bricked htc one m7 ?

Hi All,
I attempted to restore to the stock rom when I ran into this problem where my phone would only boot into recovery mode.
Currently I have S-on and the OS wiped out after a fail attempt at installing the zip file One_5.11.401.10_deodexed.zip
I thought that I might be able to recover it by running one of the RUU exe files but so far I have not been successful. I always got the error 155 returned. Also I am really unsure if this method would work and what RUU file is right for my device? Here is the information I got on my device, may be someone can point out what RUU I might need:

I know that my phone is GSM, unlocked, and work with tmobile. However I am uncertain as to weather it was originally a tmobile phone or an ATT phone, or else.
Thank you for your help.

Update: I had an all nighter hellish time trying to recover the seeming bricked phone. At last the following procedure worked for me. I like to post it here just in case someone else got into the same problem. Note that I was using TWPR recovery.
1. I sideloaded superuser.zip
2. I side loaded revone to /sdcard/ directory
3. from the pc:
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
chmod 755 revone
./revone -s 0 -u
exit
4. reboot into fastboot and I got S-OFF
Next I was still having problem installing RUU zip file. The only thing that worked for me was this:
1. I changed the CID to 11111111, (not sure if this is necessary)
2. download Guru Reset M7 3.62.401.1.zip file from htc1guru.com
3. adb sideloaded Guru Reset M7 3.62.401.1.zip to /sdcard/ directory
4. using TWPR install zip to install Guru Reset M7 3.62.401.1.zip
5. the phone reboot and came back working.
At this point I still have S-OFF. The new ROM is of an older version so software update tried to download and install a newer version. However it wasn't able to install. There was a message telling me that it has detected an "variant version of the firmware was installed so update cannot continue". So I still have the following tasks to do before the phone is truly unrooted:
1. change CID from 11111111 back to what it was before
2. update to the latest stock firmware
3. change S-OFF to S-ON
the HTC boot is already in "locked" state so I don't need to lock it again. Still not sure how I can update to the latest stock firmware though. I would appreciate any information in this regard. Thanks.

Update: ok, I finally able to get the software update working without getting the ‘Variant System Version’ message. It worked after I change the CID back to Googl001 from 11111111. I did it with the fastboot command "fastboot oem writecid googl001" .
It seems that the only thing that I need to do now to return it to the original stock product is to change S-OFF to S-ON. Or may be not.
I am still not sure if I got the stock firmware or not though. This is because I saw that the phone has a "SuperSU Installer" app running. This app allow me to root the device. It would be odd if HTC would ship the phone with this app included.
So if you know for sure how I could return this phone to completely stock image, please let me know.
Thank you.

Update: all problems are fixed, the phone is returned to its stock state completely. Here is what I did.
1. Change the CID to T-MOB010 by using "fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010
2. with CID=T-MOB010 and model number MID=PN0713000 I look up the RUU exe that support those two parameters and download it from htc1guru.com
3. down grade my hboot from 1.54 to 1.44 by flashing a hboot.zip file
4. put the phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU exe . After it is done the phone is back to stock rom.
That's it. Hope these steps could help some sorry soul out there. This HTC root/unroot is NOT FUN at all! If you happen to read this HTC, please make your bootloader idiot proof. Otherwise we will just go with your competitor whoever has a better bootloader.

[Q] Stuck in fastboot and no connections in ADB

Hello everyone.
Im new here and my english is not on the highest lvl, so pls be patient.
My problem with HTC Desire 816 is that I'm stuck in fastboot with no OS and S-ON, like below:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
A5_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.19.0.0000
RADIO 1.101.1102.17.0506
OpenDSP v28.2.2.00546.0331
OS-
eMMC-boot 1536MB
Nov 10 2014
I can't do anything on my phone (recovery, factory reset) cuz after hiting 'power' phone just reboot into bootloader again.
When i plug my phone via USB, windows 8.1 found my device and I have installed it as "Android Composite ADB Interface" and HTC Sync starts running (so it can see my phone).
But my biggest problem is now!
I have installed fastboot in version 1.0.31 and when my phone is pluged in and everything looks good, then commend "adb devices" nothing shows up.
My question is, how can I get my phone visible in adb ?
PS. I have installed cm12 and tried to get back to stock rom and recovery, but in one second in middle on the instalation, power in my house stops and everything just turned off.
And now I have this problem. It looks exactly the same when I had USB debugging turned off in cm12 .. computer and htc sync could see my phone, but adb couldn't.
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Jeremi

ADB commands won't work in fastboot. Try using fastboot commands : "fastboot devices" and see if it shows up.

From the screenshot you provided you are using the wrong command. To flash the recovery try this.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery_Stock.img"
Also the recovery_Stock.img file needs to be in your adbfastboot folder, and IIRC you need the bootloader unlocked to flash anything from fastboot.

That's a recovery file your trying to flash. You need an UNLOCKED bootloader to flash a recovery.img file.

Ok, topic can be closed. I have done this.
But now, doesn't matter which custom rom I would flash, every time the same annoying problem with screen. My screen/touch doesn't work properly. I will say more. I can't do anything! Everything is poping out in one second..

M8 Bricked while updating to Marshmallow.

Hi,
The other day i've tried to update my M8 to marshmallow via OTA and my device get bricked . . .
It is stucked on Android Recovery, and have tried everything. Ruu's, factory reset . . . everything. Ruu always gives me back error 155.
Don't know what else to do. It is new, but I think the people that sold it to me have changed things like CID and it have S-OFF.
I'll post the "fastboot getvar all" command results:

I am having the same problem!! I installed the official update via the system update, installed then at the end it told me there is a problem with the OTA thing and that is it. Since then my device is bricked and I'm in between the recovery menu and the bootloader.
I don't wanna root my device and didn't try it. This sucks. I wish I can rollback this mess to Lollipop.

I had a similar issue, bricked my HTC ONE M8 by updating through OTA.
But I got it fixed by flashing RUU through htc_fastboot.exe, it took a while but was effective.
In your case, if you need to find your right CID, first get your mid number and check if you can find a right CID to your MID, then write it through fastboot. Hope it can help you.
If you will need a detailed how to, let me know

My CID is 11111111, it says so in the bootloader. Can you provide links on where to get the RUU and the flashing app? Thanks
The bootloader says LOCKED yet my device is the international variant. Is it related or does it mean that my bootloader is locked?

Hey, I've made a simple research and found that your serial number belongs to HTC ONE M8 Taiwan version, so first you need to change your MID to 0P6B150 (optional but strongly advised for applaying offical updates) and then the CID to CHT__601 (Taiwan).
Only after this you need to find the right RUU and flash it, or use RUU.zip and flash it through htc_fastboot.exe
Hope it will be helpfull

Send me your detailed phone information as it was shown in the first post of the thread so I can tell you how to change you CID and other identification numbers that in the end will let you apply the update
Having the original CID is very important, cuz your bootloader was relocked? otherwise they could've not changed you CID/
Check your serial information go to HTC Warranty Check - Lookup
this tell you right region information of your phone so you can easily find right CID and MID numbers of your phone

But my bootloader detects it. It goes from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB

1. - remove the serial no. in your above post.
2. - Is the bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED ? If it is UNLOCKED, relock it with command fastboot oem lock
3. - follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4 for the driver part
and this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6 for the RUU part

1 - see the links in the end of #7 post? Go there and first get the drivers and adb-fastboot tools
once you get try command fastboot getvar all this will show you the detailed information of your device
2 - once done get HTC ONE M8 all in one tool kit, it would be easier for you to use instead typing commands all the time
3 - unlock your bootloader by following the instructions on the program listed above
4 - search for right CID number of your phone and write it by using command fastboot oem writecid (YOUR CID)
5 - relock bootloader
6 - flash the right RUU (check if it is right for your original new CID)
Keep in mind that I've done this on my own devices, and I don't take any responsibility in case if you get your device bricked

You cannot simply flash the RUU .. the first question is .. is the RUU the right one for your device ?
You have SUperCID as you mentioned above .. what about the MID ?
Is it 0P6B10000 ? If yes .. then go ahead

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------
1. - remove the serial no. in your above post.
2. - Is the bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED ? If it is UNLOCKED, relock it with command fastboot oem lock
3. - follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4 for the driver part
and this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6 for the RUU part

Ok I'm downloading the RUU. I've tried to apply this RUU from computer but not worked, I hope it works with fastboot!
I'll tell you once is done, thanks!
Update info:
It gets stuck in "sending 'zip'... <53965 KB>
I've waited 20 minutes and nothing happens.

Have you install the fastboot/adb that linked above ?
Have you updated the HTC USB drivers, also linked above ?
Try with a Windows PC USB2.0

Yes both things. I'll try to download the RUU again because when I try to unzip it on my PC it says that the file is corrupted.
Can be that the problem?

You can't extract/unzip an encrypted HTC RUU zip.
You never reply to my first question .. is your bootloader LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED ?
If it is UNLOCKED .. I can suggest another method .. restore a TWRP backup.
If you have installed both adb/fastboot and latest HTC USB driver (and uninstall HTC Sync Manager) I don't see a reason why it cannot work for you when it worked for the other guy (post #14)
Do you have a microSD card ? You can do it different way.

Sorry, it is RELOCKED.
I'll try to do all from 0 again. If it does not work we can UNLOCK it and try the TWRP method you say?
Yes I do have an SD card in my phone, but my PC doesn't detect it and have no SD adapter. I've heard that there's some fastboot command "push" or something like that to put the RUU on it but don't know how it works.
Thanks for your time, I'm desperate. . .

You need to unlock bootloader to go with TWRP method.
Just try again ... with a Windows PC with USB2.0 (many people report USB3.0 is a hit and miss)
Make sure the HTC Sync manager is uninstalled after you install the driver.

MY HTC M8 is not booting. What can I do?

I have S-ON M8 with custom recovery on it. I can get to the recovery but it is impossible to mount it as memory to upload any custom rom to flash it to work. My phone gets stuck on Android logo and does not go further. Is it possible for me to flash it using RUU and get it back to original, stock firmware?

In TWRP, go to Wipe, and tap the button "Format data". It sounds like your internal storage is corrupt, and doing the format data option usually fixes this. Obviously, you will lose any data on the phone, but it sounds like we're well past that point already.

Probably. But it depends on whether your M8 version has an RUU.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

It would be useful if you provided some specific reasoning/rationale on why you think its the right RUU, or any specific details (file name, link to where you got it from, etc.).
I've lost count of how many times folks "thought" they had the right RUU, but were wrong.
Also, I suggested in my last post that you try2 very specific things, which it seems you completely ignored. Don't know if there is a point in trying to help you, if you ignore the advice given.

I didn't ignore anything. Tried, didn't work. And mu RUU's name is RUU_M8_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.20.651.3
With different RUU the situation is the same. Drivers installed and still does not work.

That's important information to provide. Otherwise, we can only assume you ignored the advice.
Plus, if it "didn't work" what does that mean? Were their error messages, or any other outputs?
You tried both things (format data, and getvar) and the both didn't work?

This is not even remotely the right RUU for your device. I don't know why you think its the right one. Its for the US Sprint version. In fact, if it had run (which wouldn't happen on an s-on device) it would have radio bricked your phone, due to the differences in the Sprint version.

This isn't the right RUU either. It seems you are just guessing. This one is for the US Developer's Edition.
I don't think your version has RUU.
But I also need to see the getvar output, to see if anything on the phone has been modified (to change the carrier version).

Unfortunately I am unabale to get anything from getvar. It get stuck on "waiting for device"

The phone is in bootloader, with fastboot mode selected (highlighted in red near the top - if its not, select fastboot in the menu selections on the bootloader screen, and confirm with power button).
Also, try another USB cable.
If its still not working, hanging on "waiting for devices" is usually a problem on the PC side. Uninstall and re-install HTC Sync, try another USB port, or another PC if possible. Win7 and USB 2.0 has the best chance of compatibility with this device.

To be clear, are you trying to mount when booted into TWRP?
Do you have an SD card, and a USB card reader? If so, just put the ROM on the SD card from your computer, then just put the SD in the phone, flash in TWRP.

That is all getvar sit out. This was done under Linux coz Windows just didn't want to work with the phone.

HTC M8s Stuck between Bootloader and Stock Recovery

I wonder I anyone can point me in a right direction ?
After Factory Reset phone went into White HTC Screen and stopped. I'm only able to access Bootloader and Stock Recovery now. There is no OS.
OS.1.21.401.1
HTC___001
HBOOT 3.19.0.0000
S-ON
LOCKED
Software Status: Official
I tried to Unlock bootloader. I used Hasoon's tool. I confirmed YES to unload bootloader. But after restart Bootloader is still locked.
I tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img but all FAILS.
I can access the phone via ADB but anything flashing always fails. Tried sideload via ADB in Phone's recovery. But always Fails.
I can't access SD via Recovery, says E: mount fail. Tried to re-format the SD but no result
To me it seems like bootloader is corrupt and seems that without proper hardware I won't be able to do anything...
I spen many hours now and about to give up. Please let me know if I missed anything before I will, sadly, have to try professionals.
Many thanks to everyone.

Based on the OS no. that you wrote. Regular M8 doesn't have that version, only M8s does.
To really confirm, write here all the details that you see on bootloder because your current one is incomplete.
Better if you give result of fastboot getvar all (without serial & imei no.), this will be truly complete details.

Seems I managed to brick my M8s. After failed updated and device restart it wont turn back on. Only orange LED is repeatedly flashing when plugged to the charger or PC. PC detects that something is connected by doesn't recognize it. Wont respond to any ADB commands. I also tried VOL UP/DOWN + POWER BUTTONS for 5minutes a number of times, but nothing.
I had similar problem with HTC One Mini 2, had to take phone apart and disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Phone started OK and worked fine after this. But really don't want to take this M8s apart to disconnect the battery. As it's not mine.
Don't know if to keep the phone on charger, or let it rather disconnected and discharge.. ??
Any help would be much appreciated.

First to answer your earlier question how to know whether your device is M8 or M8s.
As you can see in your getvar result, the product is m8ql_ul which belongs to M8s. M8 is m8_ul for GSM version.
Now your thread already been moved to M8s section. Hoefully someone familiar with M8s can assist here.
I can only assist on general term and idea.
With your getvar result, now we know you have a Lollipop. The RUU is for Marshmallow. To install a Marshmallow RUU (for the case of M8), you need first to install Marshmallow firmware then only can install Marshmallow RUU. That's explained the Large image failure. Unfortunately I don't know whether anyone post any firmware only for 2.10.401.1 so you can install the RUU after.
Getting this Large image failure doesn't brick a device. With S-On it's either the RUU is successfully installed or failed. And usually will only be successfully installed when the problem is firmware & software related. When a hardware problem like corrupted emmc, RUU won't be able to fix it.
As you used Hansoon toolkit earlier which is meant for M8 not M8s, not sure whether that have any effect on your device hardware.
Let's see whether anyone with M8s has any knowledge on how to fix your problem.

Thank you for the reply, yes there are some seriously valid points. I'm still hoping I'll be able to ressurect the phone. But before I had One Mini 2 with exactly same symptoms and had to take the phone apart, disconnect the battery and when put all back together phone worked again. But really want to avoid doing this... I'll give it a couple of days playing with buttons and charger and if phone doesn't start I will take it apart and do the battery trick.
Once working again will load a Lollipop on it and hopefully phone will work. If emmc is buggered then I think the phone is done...
Will keep everyone posted about results..
Again thank you very much
