[Q] HTC One m8 fingerprint update error

Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.
Now to the problem: every time I try to update my HTC one m8 (Europe) it stops when installling and tells me this:
Code:

The phone is rooted, the bootloader unlocked, it has the stock recovery, it's s-on and it says "software status: modified".
The only thing I can see in the error is that this nine:

I am pretty new here still, so i don't know how to fix it, and i don't want to break it.

You should post your getvar all (deleting your imei number and S./N ) there is a post here but it is in german with the same problem which points to an incorrect recovery!

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Download and run the 3.28.401.10 RUU first (a quick search here and you'll find it), then run this one.

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4

HTC M8S VODA firmware

Somebody can link me a Vodafone UK firmware zip, I have to flash it in RUU mode in order to make my phone working again.
Thank you in advance

Yeah, checked multiple times, but I didn't find any proper files according to my problem. I mean , I've got the RUU files there, but I have to flash through ruu only the firmware zip because I've relocked the bootloader, and since I have wrong recovery flashed (simple M8 recovery) can't do anything else. I think this is the only solution.
Btw thanks for replying.

I don't get it ...
If there is RUU for your device version, use the RUU to fix the problem.
You don't need firmware.zip when there is RUU available (when you install the same version as your current firmware written on bootloader)

I need the firmware cause the RUU for my HTC doesn't works, it starts flashing the file but shuts down with an error ... Sorry for not mentioning that . Flashing the firmware I think the only solution for me :/

Hi GombaFelho,
I had the same problem, always the wrong firmware error message.
I unlocked and did again an "oem lock". Check again the drivers for RUU.
In end it worked for me with the ARUWizard.exe and this version:
RUU_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_Vodafone_UK_1.11.161.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1G50408_15.00_016_F_release_430447_signed
First there is a downgrade and after that you can uprade the software on the fly.

Hi ! Thanks for the answer
I tried that one too, but some magical way my update stuck at 0/8 so idk what should I do ..
I've read somewhere a solution for this, but can't remembere where

When you have that stuck problem, that's pc usb connection problem not RUU.
You need latest htc usb drivers and use usb2.0

Unfortunately neither firmware nor RUU available on the net for this version.
When you said you wait for it to load up .. are you saying your device is in working condition, only wrong recovery installed ?

I shouldn't wait for anything , right ? I mean it's not that new phone, so I assume there aren't going to be a new firmware for this version...
It was in a working condition, but after I relocked the bootloader, it went off. Had to start with the Pow+Vol.Up+Vol.Down combo, it worked but now just stops at the HTC ONE screen...
Anyways I really appreciate that you took the time to help me

I was wondering if there is some way to unlock the bootloader without using the HTCDev ? (cause I can't factory reset my phone) that would be so good...

I have an M8s too, and had the same issue.
To fix this. First try to relock and unlock the your bootloader it will prompt yes or no bla bla... Tick yes
If none of this work. Install the latest recovery from lalleman's server and pick a custom ROM, I recommend CM12 since you don't a choice cause Pandora is a little buggy.
This should work for you. Good luck with that

Htc M8, confused, want to update to marshamallow

Hello I bought M8 from somebody, it is unbranded European model i think, phone is rooted and carrier unlocked as im using it in asia. it comes with android 5.0.1, I want to update to stock marshmallow for this variant. I have been trying to do on my own but it only confused me more. Im not sure if i have custom rom or if because im rooted, because At the time moment it doesnt offer any software updates from the main menu.
Some info abt phone.
Its model id at back is Op6B100,
Android version 5.0.1
Software number 4.18.708.12
Build number 4.18.708.12
In the bootloader menu I have
Software status: Official
Locked ( i think it means bootloader)
M8_UL PVt SHIp s-off
Cid-11111111 (but if I check with cidgetter it says t-mob010). So it confused me because according to its model its supposed to be european model but in fastboot it says 11111111.
HBoot 3.19.0.0000
I dont have twrp installed.
So please tell me where to go from here. I want to either from here go direct to stock android 6 for this M8 variant or go back to stock condition and get ota update. I prefer to lose the root. So please tell me which stock firmware I need, and do I need to change cid, remove root, before that? Also i would like not to brick my device in process.. Thanks.
Also my device is carrier unlocked at the moment so Im hoping this shouldn't affect that. Thanks

.??

I would like to install htc marshmallow update, kindly tell me how I can do that.

First you need to change MID to EU
Then install EU marshmallow RUU
Follow this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70575580&postcount=12

Do i need twrp to change MId? And do I need to unlock bootloader before flashing RUU.

ok thanks , I keep getting this error in the adb fastboot when flashing ruu zip . target reported max download size ( shows some big number bytes) .

Read the guide again .. you need htc_fastboot not normal fastboot.
At the end of the guide it shows 2 other methods on how to install RUU zip. Pick one thar you think it is easier for you.

HTC M8s Stuck between Bootloader and Stock Recovery

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.

HBOOT - 3.19.0.0000

I can't remember whether there is RUU for your device. I'll check later tonight.
For the time being, try to install stock 6.12.61.4 firmware and see whether this helps or not.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I haven't managed to do anything neither did I spend a lot of time on this. I was waiting in case someone could help. Such a shame if the phone is bricked. I do not know if it is worth taking to professionals as its value as a used phone is quite low at the moment...

Yes you are right. The only way is to keep trying with these phones, until you succeed

How can you say that it is M8s and not M8 please ? I had a problem with another M8 before, seems it could be for the very same reason (could be M8s afterall)
Thank you

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.

Hi Matey
Update. Downloaded the file, placed to SD card and rebooted to bootloader. Update started ok, but soon message popped up : Device halted due to Large Image update fail!
Device rebooted, but now it's blinking orange led but can't start it or anything. Will keep it on charger until tomorrow and see if I can start it again.

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

Which RUU did your try (version number, file name)? And what does that mean you "can't flash stock ruu"? Did you get any error messages, what point did it fail, etc.?
You also need to tell us how it is "bricked"? Were you trying to flash something, or update, etc.? Or just happened on its own (failed to boot to OS)?
Did you do any mods to the phone, or is it (as far as you know) stock? For that matter, did you get the phone used?

I assume when you say "bricked" it means you can't boot to Android OS, but you can get to bootloader (otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to do fastboot getvar).
On the bootloader screen, does it say LOCKED or UNLOCKED near the top?
Also, I recommend you delete IMEI and serial number from your top post. These are personal info, and should not be posted online (and also, not needed to help or advise you).

To confirm, the file actually says "RUU" in the file name, and about 1.5 GB in size?
