RUU for your version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64869713&postcount=3
Download RUU to PC (PC required) then connect phone in bootloader-fastboot mode. Then simply run the RUU.exe on your PC and it will prompt your through the rest.
Be aware, the RUU will wipe all data on the phone.
Thanks

You're correct, I forgot the link was the zip format RUU, instead of the exe format. Sorry for any confusion.

This is normal. Just flash the zip again. Its typical to get this error message, and have to flash a 2nd time.
I'm doing this exact same process and stuck at "sending 'zip'... (53965 KB)" I tried flashing again and it says "sending 'zip'... (53965 KB)". It doesn't show progress or anything, how long I should expect this to last?

If you boot your device into bootloader, does it say UNLOCKED at the top? Chances are that it is still locked.
You need to be locked to update firmware.
I don't know if it's necessary but i relocked the bootloader to flash the firmware.
Here are the steps i performed
fastboot oem lock ( to relock the bootloader)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals on RUU)
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
I then reunlocked and flashed arhd custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have S-OFF and for firmware flash you have to bel locked so on top I have ****RELOCKED**** and Hboot is on version 1.12
Got firmware flashed! Now I flashed recovery and when I booted to recovery I only get blank screen. So recovery is up but no graphics.
Please give more info. Does it just sit on a black screen
Is there anything at all on the screen
Does it just flash black and then carry on booting as normal
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
When I want to boot recovery it looks like it's booting and then it switches to completely black screen. When I press power button long enough i get three flashes on hard buttons on bottom and then phone powers down.
Below is my whole flashing procedure.
I have firmware for cid HTC__001 got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
I took boot image from ARHD 17.1 link and recovery from official link. Did I missed something? or am I doing it in wrong way?

looks fine.
maybe the download of the recovery is defect or corrupt. did you try to download the recovery again and install it?
If I flash same recovery file when I have stock RUU 2.17 on phone it boots normally. So the file is OK.
I've been trying to install CyanogenMod for my endeavoru by the instructions in their wiki. These are the steps I took in the very beginning:
Unlock via HTC Dev
Flashed CWM
Entered CWM
Ran the CWM backup function
Wipe data/factory reset
Transferred over the .zip file
Attempted to flash from sdcard
The installation aborted because I apparently have an insufficient version of HBOOT (1.12.0000). The page on endeavoru itself had a note on this, but the install page doesn't, so like a fool I thought there would be instructions relating to that when it became relevant. Thinking what to do, I figured maybe upgrading HBOOT is the same as flashing boot.img (which IS mentioned in the install guide), so I did that as well, but the HBOOT version stayed the same.
I was uncomfortable with not feeling in control of events, so I thought I'd get back to the stock OS as a way to reassure myself and make an external (nandroid?) backup. I thought using CWM's backup/restore function would make that possible, but when I did a restore and rebooted it just went into a bootloop. (There was a FAQ item on this, but it assumed I had a zip file to get the boot.img out of, which I don't -- this was a recovery).
Easier than finding a stock rom would seem to be just to upgrade HBOOT. I found this guide on the topic, but the link to firmware doesn't work. I've found others using Search, but they don't work either. (I have HTC__Y13.) One site that has files is here, but I'm being cautious because the phone isn't cheap and I'm trying hard not to brick it. First, the site is in German (I speak a little, but I can't bee 100% sure what these things are saying); second, the link didn't come from xda-developers, so I'm wary of trusting it out of hand.
Would you suggest going on a search for another ROM (2.17.401.2), or flashing HBOOT (with a file from the German site or from somewhere else), or some other thing? The main thing I'm concerned about for the moment is having a functional phone in the next few days.
Also, can I generally expect the battery to not run out while plugged in by USB?
Thanks in advance.
Grab the firmware.zip from the german site, it seems good.
You can get the boot.img for your nandroid backup by selecting mounts and storage > mount usb storage > /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Your device will charge, provided that you are booted in recovery and the version is 5.8.4.0.

Also, you shouldn't be concerned when flashing a HBOOT, because the package will have to be signed by HTC.
And before flashing anything you will have to flash original recovery, and relock bootloader. This basically means you will be unbrickable!
Unless something goes wrong in the process ofcourse (unlikely)

To flash the hboot you don't need to flash back the stock recovery first ...... Just relock, flash the firmware, unlock, flash a custom recovery again and install a new rom
Thanks. It looks like I got the lock and flash done fine, but it hangs on unlock:

What I'm seeing right now is a black screen with a htc logo and a full green status bar. It's been this way for a while.
What should I do? Is it safe to terminate the unlock command?
Yeah press ctrl+c and reboot phone.

All right, I'm happily using HBOOT 1.39 now with a CyanogenMod nightly running, and ready to explore this supermarket of excitement and possibility.
I terminated the process and rebooted, which worked fine, and flashed boot.img and CWM and then CM from recovery.
Thanks again to all of you.

Is your phone really S-OFF? (If I look at those errors I guess not.)
Sorry brother >> what do you mean by S-off ?! ?

That was the answer I expected to get...
By unlocking the bootloader you only gain control over 3 partitions: Recovery, System and Bootloader. If you want to flash firmware packs which are not officially signed by HTC (like the 3.35.401.12 one) you need to unlock the rest of the phone beforehand. Otherwise the phone's security mechanisms will prevent you from flashing those files. (In other words the Security is ON.) That's why you need to set them OFF (S-OFF). Either you get the Sunshine app or you find someone with a java card.
Oh and changing the firmware to other versions (as you tried from whichever version you got to the developer edition) isn't possible with S-ON, either.
Thank you so much bro ,,,
I will try ?
yes bro , done
every things work now :good:
thanks alot

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".)

I want to get the latest android available for my HTC M8 (AT&T). I'm currently on Android 4.4.2. I have an mdnsd battery drain bug, and the bluetooth has a bug that causes it to break whenever I get around too many bluetooth devices.
I've tried flashing to TWRP, flashing back to the factory recovery, multiple RUU files, and a SkyDragon ROM. All either don't update or cause a boot loop, and I end up doing a nandroid restore to my old ROM.
I get the impression that I need the correct version of the boot loader, which is included in the right firmware.zip file. I've tried to find the right file, but when I go to the mike1986 page to download the firmware, I'm not sure which version to try. What is the latest official firmware that will work for my phone, and what is the latest official version of Android I can update to?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I notice that the firmware isn't flashing, either hanging indefinitely or giving an error message:

Do I have to have S-off? I was trying to get around paying $25 for the software.

repeat the flashing command immediately after you see this error
no need for s-off to flash signed firmware only relocked/locked bootloader

Thanks! I ended up getting the " FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" multiple times, apparently going 7/8s of the way through. I ended up trying the RUU, and it got much further and right now has been on "Updating...(1/1) Sending...." for about 20 minutes. The same window has "Remember, the operation will take about 10 minutes." Should I keep waiting or try the RUU again? I don't know if it's hung or not, and there's no real progress meter.

It's been an hour and no change... should I let it continue? Seems like it should have finished by now.

what is the current status for the phone ?
If the flashing didn't start then try to flash the firmware again
Another question : did you relocked the bootloader ?

The phone screen has the htc gradient logo. The bootloader is relocked.
I've attached an image of the ROM update window.

I got the firmware from:
https://mega.nz/#!XV5EjYhS!gNN_rAYovaMQpaeP2OSdkfYAIEAmv6VnB-QlZ1VadMU
I tried the 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' command and see:
C:\adb>fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...
and it won't go past that point.

Close the RUU setup wizard if it still didn't flash anything or hanging on the same screen
And restart your pc then try to flash the firmware again on the device ( as it's on RUU mode )

Thanks for your prompt responses! I managed to successfully update the firmware, seeing a completed message in the command prompt, and green bar on the HTC screen. However, now I'm still stuck on "
Updating...(1/1) Sending.......
Updating the ROM image on your Android phone...
"
I've rebooted my workstation and the phone multiple times. Not sure where to go from here.

another solution you can extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe
By start it and goto %temp% folder and you will find rom.zip
Here what you need to do
press ctrl+r and type %temp% it will open a folder,delete everything in this folder
start the RUU.exe again,once it starting and hang goto %temp% folder again you will find a folder and the rom.zip inside it copy it and flash using fastboot or
rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it in your sd card ( formatted as fat32 ) then reboot into bootloader the update process should start automatically
