The RUU probably won't work. Try extracting the firmware.zip from the 4.18.720.10 ota and flash. That should work.

First you need to update the adb and fastboot drivers on your laptop for them to detect your HTC One M8.
There are multiple reasons they might not be working. I advise trying each solution you come across until one works for you and you are able to detect your phone through fastboot again.
After that follow with the official bootloader unlock way provided by HTC.

[HELP] Bricked HTC one X - tried everything.

Hi there XDA,
I have searched and tried many different ways to help me,
but none have worked or are lacking in information for me to follow methods.
so i have turned to your general help!
i do not have any knowledge on how my phones bootloader was unlocked or any fastboot things at all, if you could explain to me step by step methods of using the fastboot option via connecting it to my computer to get it to work including files i need that would help.
well okay these are my problems.
~ I tried flashing a jdroid rom, with aroma installer.
it installed the rom but after i installed it it was looping the 'HTC' logo at startup.
what happens is i turn it on, it says "htc quietly brilliant" hangs for a few seconds, screen goes black then phone vibrates and it repeats.
i have a CWM flashed but whenever i boot into recovery it the cwm flashes on the screen for one tenth of a second and then it reboots and i get a loop of booting screen.
If anyone could please help that would be greatly appreciated! i have only had this phone for one week! and it is vital i get it fixed as i have alot of information in the SD card vital to my business
First, download the RUU for your phone (you should have it already as you got it before unlocking the bootloader, right?). If you didn't, then this is the first rookie mistake you've made
Second, relock the bootloader. This involves using fastboot which, again, you should how to use before doing anything that can potentially lead to issues. If you don't know how to use fastboot then check the threads in the Dev forum or Google it
Third, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot and run the RUU
This will get you back to stock and then you can start again (once you've read up on everything properly)
I tryed to install RUU yesterday with relocked bootloader to solve sense issue but did not get it work.
Tryed with 1.25, 1,28 and 1,29 but got error 120 and 170 (no USB connection and low battery even battery was 95%).
Any idea why?
Then I removed CID line in OTA and installed it by fastboot and sense issue was gone
Good news is you're not bricked, do you have adb installed on your pc?

Ok first thing to do is download the android sdk and install it. Once done report back.
If you get a java not installed messege on install the sdk it will give you a link to the jdk download the 32bit version.

If your friend unlocked and rooted your phone, he must have had the necessary tools on his pc.
Before trying other things, get your friend to run fastboot erase cache (or if you have the necessary tools run it yourself with your device booted in fastboot of course (volume down and power pressed))

hmm i have done some extra researching and had more help but my phone is in fastboot and is connected via cable to pc but the CMD always comes up with "waiting for device"
Have u got HTC sync installed
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Once you have htc sync installed or just thethe drivers boot into hboot. Click on fastboot plug in device. It should show fastboot-usb.
If you bootloader shows unlocked open cmd and cd to the platform-tools folder in the sdk and type: fastboot oem lock.
This will relock the bootloader and reboot the phone. Boot back to fastboot the run the ruu for your cid and all will be back to normal.

Do u still have the Unlock_code.bin when you first unlock your bootloader?if u dont understand,maybe u can link me the video that u watch to root the device first,let me see it first
or if u still have the unlock.bin just boot to fastboot and then
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and flash the recovery
yes, i still have the Unlock_code.bin I can't give you the video link because it's not permited since i'm anew member..
i think my main problem is that my laptop don't recognize my phone, when i type adb devices in the command windows, it is said "list of device attached" so i can't type any command like fastboot or anything, do you have link to htc driver for windows 8.1, i have installed htc sync manager and it's still nothing. maybe i should try using another laptop with windows 7 os, don't you think so?
Hi. I have done the same thing, unlocked the boot loader s-off and the installed cwm recovery........ I then installed the stock recovery and relock the bootloader so now I am s-off with stock recovery with relocked bootloader with tamper flag. the problem I have now is that I can not re unlock my boot loader because no matter what I try I get a fail when ever I try and get the identifier token. any ideas folks?

I think your best bet is to use a Windows 7 os laptop to flash it first,I can't help you with Windows 8,cause I don't have that

S-On, Re-Lock, Recovery doesn't work, no ROM HELP Please?!

Hey guys i've checked the similar threads for answers before posting and was wondering if someone can help me with the similar problem.
I was rooted with s-on and tried to revert back to stock, so relocked the bootloader and now i get an error message and can't unlock the booatloader again.
Error message reads this:
"Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMART IO
FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/OPJAIMG.zip
File NOT FOUND
I've tried everything that i could think of in FASTBOOT,
I can't get into custom recovery, can't rebootRUU because just sticks at HTC splash screen, every time i try to unlock the bootloader i get as far as the yes or no part but then it fails to unlock in download mode and won't even do it in the normal fastboot mode.
I've tried on both mac and windows and nothing works apart from getvar all and fastboot devices, i have a memory card of 32gb and and a adaptor i can plug into my laptop if that helps?
If there is any more information that i am missing, can you please let me know, i really want to get this phone sorted without having to pay to get it sorted from htc.
Thanks
Travis

If adb is okay then try flashing TWRP and go from there if successful. Have a read of my post here.

Hi I've tried to flash in fastboot as the device won't boot so I could use adb. I've relocked the bootloader as I was about to go back to stock. The only process I haven't done yet that I can think of is running the ruu.exe on my computer, but I'm having trouble finding the ruu for Europe as all the links I try are either broken or they say the file doesn't exist anymore.
Is it possible to flash a ruu through fastboot while on relocked bootloader.
Also I've tried to OEM unlock the bootloader but that doesn't work either.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

search for a full framwork/stock rom from htc. this can be done in fastboot from the bootloader screen via adb. after that wip your cache and boot back up. everything should be stock. the go back to following an unlock and root guild and twrp installation
Yes i found one in RUU Format, but when i Start the RUU.exe it ask for the License and then close itself.
