hello guys i was trying to update the firmware of my htc one m8 and i think i updated the wrong firmware because i got the red triangle and i dont know what to do, i can enter the stock recovery but i don't know what to do next please help
i have an at&t and i think i put the wrong firmware, I was supposed to flash the european and i flash the asian version but i got the red triangle what do i do now?
Let's state the obvious, first: you were originally trying to flash your device with firmware that's intended for another region, but without doing the actual work required to convert your device. Obviously, JUST flashing another region's firmware doesn't work
So, in order to help you forth, tell us what you actually want to do? Convert to European firmware? Asian? Or, stay with AT&T?
First off, we need to know your phone's metadata to figure out the required firmware for your device. You get this info by going into fastboot and typing:
fastboot getvar all
Copy the output and post it here (note: don't post your imei# and serial#).
IF your device is S-ON, you cannot actually flash any firmware other than what your phone is locked to. So, you're gonna have to flash AT&T firmware, and then:
A. If your recovery is unlocked: either flash a custom ROM, or restore a nand backup of a stock ROM.
B. Flash a stock RUU to fully restore your phone to stock HTC state.
IF your device is S-OFF, you can easily convert to firmware from other regions. Continue reading below:
The general process to convert your device is as follows:
1. Changing your CID (and maybe MID) to your intended region.
2. Downloading and flashing a full RUU corresponding to your intended region.
3. Enjoying your success.
Cheers

yes i was trying to get some bands working and i was trying to flash the europe firmware, i ended downloading the wrong version and when i reboot the fastoob just after flashing the wrong firmware i got the red triangle, i can only acces the stock recovery i dont know how to access the bootloader when the red triangle appears
my device is s-off
To get out of the red triangle screen, you hold volume-UP button then press the power button. You should be presented with the stock recover menu. Navigate using Vol+ and Vol-, make choices with the power button.
Try rebooting your device to bootloader using the menu choices.

I am currently on KK Revolution 9.1 and trying to upgrade the firmware to the new 4.28.502.1 so I can get LP and when I get into the ADB and try to flash it, it states "Remote: Not allowed" . The phone is s-off and unlocked. Do I need to relock it and unlock it again?? Ideas?? Starting to lose support for some of the items on KK.

AT&T devices are totally compatible with WWE/International firmware, and S-Off allows you to install that.
You are on AT&T, correct? Because 4.28.502.1 is from that carrier. If not, let me/us know and don't follow these instructions.
This is the easiest way, and you don't need a PC to do it.
Download this firmware.
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) using a file explorer and place it onto the root of your extSD (not in a folder).
Boot into bootloader by powering off your phone, then turning it on by holding down both the power button and vol down.
Select hboot if it doesn't automatically (vol buttons to navigate~power button to select) and follow the prompts (vol up to flash~power to reboot).
That should be it. Delete the renamed zip from your extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.
Then go back to bootloader and confirm that it says 4.16.401.10 next to OS.
Congratulations! You are now on Lollipop firmware and can flash the newest ROMs.

You don't need to relock with s-off. Something else is going on. Post your getvar data (be sure to delete IMEI and serial number as these are personal info).

It did it but now there is red lettering one the screen. How do I get that taken off and please point me to the directions for wiping the old ROM and installing the new. I had it on my screen in the form yesterday and now I can't find it again.

Here is the bigger issue, for some reason, the phone can't get past the opening screen. The only way I have found to get past this is to power drain the phone. Once done, you can boot into recovery. Then, I can start again. Must be some sort of circuity blocking this.

As @redpoint73 said earlier, post your getvar. Hook up to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot and enter the command fastboot getvar all.
I was helping someone else with AT&T last night on the VenomROMs website, and mistakenly thought you were superCID when it was him. That won't be a problem though. It will abort with a CID mismatch.
The reason I suggested WWE firmware is that Marshmallow is coming out soon and WWE will get it way before AT&T updates.
If you want to stay on AT&T firmware, you could run the official RUU from HTC's US website.
Post your getvar, and we can go from there.

OK here should be the final solution, when you are in fastboot/hboot screen you must enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then once you see the black screen with HTC logo then you may flash the firmware, you can not flash firmwares on PC while fastboot is actively running, but of course run the firmware flash command TWICE! first flash it will fail because HBOOT gets updated by it self, then on second flash the rest of the firmware files get updated.
If you have S-OFF then you never have to lock your bootloader again.
Hi guys,
So I get my second HTC One M9.
I bought my two phones from Germany and I'm from Portugal.
My first one was an European version and I was able to change Recovery and ROM with S-ON.
My second one was a little different, it comes with CID "O2___102" (branding O2 from Germany) and because I have a higher RUU version, now HTC blocks download mode to prevent custom developments... so I'm not able to install a new Recovery and consequently a new ROM.
So I need to do S-OFF, my main concern is...
1) Everything works, but Mobile Data is not working (I select this option but no icon appears in notification bar and no Internet at all)... Is this related to this RUU ("O2___102") or what can I do to make it work?
2) Will I get Mobile Data working with other RUU (I want European RUU)?
Thank you in advance!
You only have to enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options. HTC doesn't block anything. Only a new securitys feature has been added which demands that extra step during the unlock. Thant means you don't need S-OFF (unless you want to get rid of the branded firmware).
Are you sure that you set up your APN correctly? I don't think that the O2 firmware is the reason for your lack of mobile internet.
Oh and just to clarify some terms: You're talking about firmware and firmware versions. A RUU is an *.exe or a*.zip file which restores the stock rom and reflashes the corresponding firmware.
Hi @Flippy498,
I have enable that option as well.
I think HTC unables to downgrade firmware since version 2.10 and I need it to install the recovery I want. Otherwise it stay stuck in "download mode" with 100% installed but unable to reboot (If I reboot manually no Recovery is installed).
I didn't try to correct the APN because every phones always recognize and do that automatically for me... I need to try that.
EDIT: Fixed!! Tried VPN now working and I was able to install new Recovery, now I'm installing a new ROM. Thanks!

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Downgrades have never been possible with S-ON*. You simply need to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev and afterwards you need to flash TWRP 2.8.7.1-CBTB-B1. Since I had to flash TWRP on version 2.10.206.2 for being able to create a TWRP backup for my collection I know that it is possible.
* Well, except for the downrade from 1.32.<EnterYourSKUhere>.15 to the firmware version the phone was originally sold with (for the WWE SKU it was 1.32.401.8).
Edit: Looks like you edited your last post while I was typing this one. I'm glad that you reached your goal but I still don't understand what you tried to do...
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.

Hello,
I am in need of some help.
2 weeks ago i bought the HTC One M9.
A few days ago the update to android 6.0 message popped up.
I have probably tried updating it like 15 times already, but everytime the first part is downloaded, and my phone reboots, after 1/4th of the updating it shows a red triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I have tried wiping the cache, it didn't help.
Honestly i don't have a clue what's wrong, or where i can find out what went wrong, so i would really appriciate all the help i can get.
Example of what happens:
malmgrens [dot] org/bilder/htc_recovery_mode [dot] jpg
A few more details will be helpful:
- what variant do you have (locale & carrier)?
- is your phone modified (ie, custom recovery and/or root)?
In order to take an over-the-air update, the phone must be completely stock. If it is not, you'll need an RUU to restore your phone to stock (be sure to backup your information first). Then you'll be able to take the OTA update.

Hey, thanks so much for your reply
I am pretty sure i got the dutch version, it might be belgium.
The carrier is vodafone.
I am pretty sure its not rooted etc, since i didn´t do anything with it.
What does stock and RUU mean?(I am a total noob with this.)

Hi there,
To clarify - your phone boots to its current software with no problem, right? If so, it would be a wise thing for you to determine your MID (model ID) and CID (carrier ID). There are a number of guides - Google is your friend. I recommend looking up ADB installation, your OS (Mac, Windows, Linux) and going from there.
Once you know your MID & CID, we can help you find out what firmware is available for you.
To learn about RUUs, VenomROM has a great page that explains about what they are and how to use them.
Peace,
Computerslayer

Yes my phone boots to current software without any problems right now.
Some info i found:
CID: VODAPE17
MID did not show for some reason. I tried multiple ways using adb shell and fastboot, but shell doesnt show anything and fastboot gets stuck at waiting for device.
Is finding my MID nessecary to fix this update problem? If so how can i find it?
Power of your M9
Power on & press at the same time to enter in the bootloader, volume -
on the top of the screen, is it writed locked or unlocked?
You can see more information in download mode...

Hey thanks for your reply.
It says unlocked. Is that normal or could it be an/the issue?
If you are unlocked, it's related to your issue.
You have to flash a RUU to be "stock" and ready for the OTA...

Alright, so if i understand correctly i can flash a RUU (whatever it is lol) without having to backup without doing a clean install. The phone wont wipe my data?
Would this guide be what you mean?
how-to-flash-ruu-firmware-htc-one-m9/
from naldotech

If you flash an RUU....your device will be wiped clean....as it came out of the box...
Then you can OTA on a clean....stock rom....g
The Thread is a good one.
More explication of what is needed in post2 or post 3 of TWRP thread (about Google's new limitation for the OTA).
Beware flashing a RUU will wipe everything, don't forget to backup all you take care...
It doesn't let me update my phone OTA or manually - it says 'we have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update.' Phone is locked S-ON, software version 3.35.617.12. What should I do to enable update access to the current version of my phone? Can you send me a link with the appropriate software? If you need any more information, I can send.
P.S. I have bought two identical phones - one for which I was able to update via OTA without no problem, but not the other. They both have S-ON and both are locked.
If you already tried flashing a RUU and that didn't fix the issue then I'd say chances are very high that the phone had been S-OFF in the past and that it's currently using the SuperCID/SCID (11111111) instead of the CID that actually belongs to your current firmware. Unlike on older HTC devices, the SCID breaks the ability to receive official OTAs on the M9. There have been many similar threads to yours in the past. People bought phones that got converted by the sellers before the sale. However, the conversion didn't get completed (in other words: the phones still had the SCID) although the sellers reverted the S-OFF status back to S-ON.
Boot your phone to download mode* and see what CID your phone is using, at the moment. BS_US001 or BS_US002 are both fine. Everything else isn't.
You'll need to re-S-OFF the phone if want to change your phone's CID. The needed instructions can be found in the ReadMe thread (Root & S-OFF, Change the CID).
* Power off the device, wait some seconds and turn it on again while you keep volume down pressed until you see a black screen with red, blue and yellow text. If you see a white screen with multicoloured text then you're facing the Bootloader mode. In that case you can navigate to "Boot to Download Mode" with the volume keys and select the option with the power button.
Unlock bootloader,
flash twrp,
flash root,
s-off for $25
Change cid via "htc_fastboot" to BS_001 or BS_002.
Download the stock FIRMWARE "ZIP" that is the same as your current version*,
rename to 0PJAIMG.zip**,
copy to external sdcard,
put card in the phone and boot the phone to download mode
Press vol+ to flash.
Sit back for 5 mins while it flashes and you'll have an updatable phone at the end. No data lost.
*, the first and third octets must match eg 3.xx.617.xx (xx can be anything). Version and region are important.
** double check the filename as different regions have different filenames. It could be 0PJA10000..
Hello,
I have the same situation but my phone is already S-OFF (locked, scid 11111111).
Do I need Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash root or can I go straight to cid change and stock flash?
