This is HTC Desire 820 single sim, it was Android 5.0.2 rooted with twrp recovery, but after that unsuccessful actualization, OS has been wiped, bootloader locked, and probably wrong recovery flashed

I think that problem is with OS 2.11.401.6 and radio 01.01.010_u10305041_08.01.501015. Maybe OTA file could help? But I didn't backup that file before I clicked Update from system level.
PS. I mean latest OTA Update

There's your answer right there. You need to change MID to one that is supported by the GPE RUU. Looks like you've already changed your CID to one that works with the GPE RUU. But you need to change CID and MID.

adb commands dont work in fastboot mode, you need to flash the latest version of twrp boot into it and then use the adb commands if your unsure of what to do and dont want to furher damage your phone i can help you over teamviewer, changing your mid is risky if your not sure and can damage your device badly any wrong mistake and its game over.

adb commands will only work while booted in OS or custom recovery. That is what the previous post (Post #6 above) was talking about.

The photo in your first post indicates your bootloader is relocked. Did you unlock it again?
If its still relocked, custom recovery will never flash properly.

i fix the problem over teamviewer red point, what i did was edit the model id in the zip from the google play stock rooted rom to match his and flash it, then unlock his bootloader with adb and change both mid and cid to google play, his phone was stuck at the htc logo black screen that fix it.

Since you're S-ON, you will not be able to flash RUUs or firmware below your current ROM version. You can however restore twrp backups of Lollipop ROMs which work fine with your current 6.12 Marshmallow firmware. Otherwise, you can use twrp to flash any custom ROM based on marshmallow & lollipop.
Here's a link to stock marshmallow RUU (6.12.401.4) in zip format, which you should flash from bootloader.

I flash the twrp's recovery. I can access to it but when I try to go to install the zip file, twrp refuse to install it with "Zip file is corrupt". I double check md5 sum and they seems to be correct =( .
I also try to flash it with fastboot, just in case, and no result but with a different error: "(bootloader) zip header checking... FAILED (remote: 32 header error) "

You don't flash RUUs with TWRP, you flash them with fastboot in RUU mode. Which you seemed to know based on your top post, so I'm not sure why you tried to flash with TWRP this time.

You need to relock your bootloader to RUU with s-on.
Command: fastboot oem lock

I'm not sure which way you want to go, but:
1. To flash the RUU zip file:
A. You need to put it at the root of your SD CARD and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip
B. Turn your phone off, then start it into bootloader.
C. Follow the instructions in RED to flash. You will lose all data as the RUU will format all partitions.
2. To install a custom ROM or restore a twrp-specific backup, use TWRP's install function, or restore function respectively.
Cheers

I'm not sure what RUUs you have tried to flash, but this is the last RUU version for your model (T-Mo Germany)
You can flash it with fastboot commands in RUU mode, or you can flash it via the SD card method.
The SD card method is easiest. Rename the .zip by deleting everything in the name of it except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course), put it onto your extSD, and boot to bootloader. The rest is pretty much automatic.
Note that since you are S-On, you will have to relock your bootloader first with either method. The command for that is fastboot oem lock
Good luck!
Very helpful thread. Wanted to ask for help here, but already solved the issue

[HELP] Bricked my HTC One M8 - no OS and old HBOOT version

Hello everyone, sorry for the post but I'm really desperate at the moment, so here it goes:
I wiped my phone up by mistake while doing a hard reset and now it's OS is gone. When I try to flash RUUs it says the HBOOT version is wrong, maybe too old. I've read a lot here in the forum but wasn't able to do it yet. I'll copy the getvar from my device down here so maybe u guys can help me out.

At what stage are you getting this message? When trying to flash the stock recovery?
If so post the results of fastboot getvar all minus your serial# and IMEI (and MEID if you have one ~ only CDMA devices do)

yes, even when I try to flash the new TWRP file this message appears

I guess it's because my phone is relocked? Don't know I'm really confused
Yes, the signature verify fail error is due to relocked bootloader.
You can only install TWRP with an unlocked bootloader. TWRP is an unsigned file. By definition, you can't flash an unsigned recovery with a locked (and also relocked) bootloader. This is the very meaning and purpose of a locked bootloader.
I see... So I must unlock the bootloader again, flash and Install twrp 2.8.7.0, restore 4.24.709.3 stock backup, install 4.24.709.3 stock recovery and then relock the bootloader?
And for unlocking it I have to follow the same way for the first time? HTCdev, etc...?

what about flashing the marshmallow RUU.zip ??
it's signed you need a relocked bootloader to flash it on s-on device
here is the RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911967316
and here is how to flash ( but use the above RUU )

That is correct. Then OTA update to Marshmallow.
Alternately, with bootloader still relocked, fastboot flash the firmware fw_6.12.709.4 using the file and instructions from here (Same thread as before, but Post #5): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5.
Then unlock the bootloader, install TWRP 2.8.7 and restore stock backup 6.12.709.4, which will put you right on Marshmallow with no need to OTA.

You may be able to fastboot flash the unlock token you used before (but doesn't always work). Otherwise, yes, you can go through the entire HTCDev.com process and get a new token.

Okay, thank you so much! I'm at work now and don't have my phone with me, so when I arrive home I'll try this way.

Now I have to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp 2.8.7 to restore stock backup? That backup is the one in post #3, right?
Thanks a lot again!!!

Can't flash new recovery or wipe ( encrypted )

I have twrp installed but it won't wipe the phone. I even tried putting the wrong passcode in 30 times to force wipe but it just doesn't wipe. When I flash a new recovery it says success but go back into the phone the same twrp is there!
I read I need a Rec that doesn't check if it's encrypted? I.e in twrp can't mount data.
So how do I get round it?
Originally a uk orange/ee phone but was unlocked any network and rooted etc
try flashing twrp version 3 link http://www.mediafire.com/file/f08vn6klszuwqu5/twrp-3.1.0-0-m8.img In TWRP, under "Wipe" menu, there is "Format Data" function, which will effectively remove the encryption from the device. hope thats work for u .
I have the same problem. I already unlocked the bootloader and try to flash a recovery. Even if I use ClockWorkMod or TWRP 2.7.0.2, it says that everything is fine, but when I try to start the recovery mode it always goes back to the fastboot mode. What can I do? I am using the HTC One 2014 (M8) All in one toolkit.

"Even if I use" What does that mean exactly? Did you try others (the statement somewhat implies you did)? Please try to be as detailed as possible when asking for help, instead of making us guess what you've tried, or what you mean.
Clockworkmod never officially supported this device. There are some unofficial builds, but they haven't been updated in maybe 2 years. This in itself will cause problems on any device with remotely current firmware. Plus, even if it was able to boot into CWM, it isn't compatible with many of the current ROMs (if that is what you want).
Similarly, TWRP 2.7 is really old. It won't work properly on any M8 devices unless the firmware is really old (like Kitkat old). So that may be your problem right there.

You should drop the toolkit. It hasn't been updated for over 2 years, and can cause problems in itself. Flashing recovery is a single, easy command. Using the toolkit just introduces another unnecessary possible (and probable) point of failure.
Try the following:
fastboot erase cache
Then try to fastboot flash TWRP version 2.8.7.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Also, for the best possibility of us helping you, do:
fastboot getvar all
Then post the output (delete IMEI and number before posting, as these are personal info).
Thx for your fast reply!

Your device is NOT M8 .. anything for M8 won't work on it.
Yours is Htc One Mini 2 - get your recovery from correct device specific forum

Help needed HTC M8S (M8QL) O2 UK

Hi!
I have an M8QL O2 UK, stuck in fastboot (the previous owner, i think try to root and failed). It have no recovery (if i try recovery just restart in fastboot again, i try to unlock bootloader using HTCDev but after is restarting it just goes blank and is not unlocking so i cannot flash any type of recovery.
I managed to get this firmware 0PKV[email protected]60201_20.05_018_F_release_477134 _signed_2_4.zip
but unfortunately it give me "device halted due to large image update fail" when i try to installing from microsd and this error when i try with fastboot

As i find out from other threads this error occurred because it have an older version of Hboot, so I will need to flash first an "partial zip firmware" to update Hboot, and then the complete firmware. But i cannot find anywhere that partial zip!
Does anybody can help me find that file?
One of this i think:

Hi
I am on O2 uk and I flashed this with fastboot but my phone is unlocked.
I will give it a try but i don't think will work because is for M8 not for M8S!
Thank you anyway!

Have you seen this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...ral/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
https://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL...08_15.00_016_F_release_434688_combined_signed
Yes I have seen and try all of that but as I said in my post I can't install any recovery, and the firmware of my phone, if you read carefully getvar details, is newer that firmware posted on https://ruu.lalleman.net/ and it cannot be install.
Also I already said that I find the latest firmware 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_O2_UK_2.10.206.1_R [email protected]_20.05_018_F_release_477134 _signed_2_4.zip but because my Hboot it's old it give me the error posted on the initial post!
So please read carefully and understand all the thing written in the initial post first!
Thanks!
