failed to update marsgmallow OTA

hi
i am asking for your help guys as always
i have htc one m9 original stock rom, , s-on, rooted , CUSTOM TWRP RECOVERY. UNLOCKED BOOT LOADER
and my phone info is as this :
kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) imei: 3572260xxxxxxxx
(bootloader) version-main: 2.10.401.1
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 01.04_U11440601_71.02.50709G_F
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__J15
My problem is: i can't update my m9 to the latest OTA marshmallow
recently, i received an OTA update marshmallow 6 ( part 1/2 )
version of OTA received is 2.10.401.108
to flash a stock recovery, i extracted the OTA zip file, and extracted its content firmware.zip to get the stock recovery, i fount 2 recoveies, 1) recovery.img 2 ) recovery_signed.img.
is this the right way to have the correct stock recovery ?
anyway, i flashed these 2 recoveries in order to update the new OTA, but no one succeeded, and i got this message on download mode ( attached pic )
is the problem because of incorrect stock recovery ?
how do i get a proper one ?
i tried also this
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZaiJ3F_f76sVa4daU5H62OYi5Bj23LEBBv4xDTQ8y-M/pubhtml
but didn't know which one to take exactly.
also, i tried to give it another shot, i renamed the OTA fzip file to 0PJAIMG.ZIP
and copied this file on both ext_sd & internal sd
but no luck.
please help

The problem is that your system partition is modified because you add su and related files for rooting. You must have an untouched system partition and restored in read only mode to prevent any modifications.
So you need to flash twrp again, restore an original untouched system partition, flash stock recovery and apply OTA.

Yea what he said.. System must be as stock and completely untouched. All evidence of root must be undone to get OTA.

i see
so i have to unroot first ?
how do i restore an original untouched system partition, if i didn't backup my system !!

hello

Check flippys Google sheet in his thread.
A donated clean image may be there for your SKU and device version...
If not....you may need to RUU back to complete stock and take the OTA that way...g

+1, The only way if you haven't a clean system image ( take a time to read the post2 of Twrp thread) is to flash a Ruu.
It's a "new" Google limitation...

To flash the stock recovery you just need to get the stock recovery for 2.10.401.1 , flash like any other recovery, so with the command fastboot flash recovery *name of recovery*.img in download mode. It should work fine, but do that after you got complete stock system back up which is untouched. Just wipe system and restore the untouched, flash in download mode the stock recovery and you should be good to go

at first be on complete stock rom, i mean stock recovery and system img is restored to stock one from twrp with backup.
then you need to use the exact naming of the zip...like i said everything else have to be on stock settings... no custom recovery, no custom kernel yea everything else stock

I find myself in the same situation and followed all the steps described here...
The results are either Status 7 or Remote 14 or Remote 9
I had a original backup of the system img, restored via twrp, then flashed a signed stock recovery (S-ON), ensured i'm not rooted or modified. The result is always the same...
Maybe i am doing something wrong ?
LE: Managed to get a non corrupted archive (that was causing remote 14 or 9), now i get remote 99 all the time, no matter what i try

Find a RUU that matches your cid number, and you'll get M

Any .401 RUU should work. There is a thread in the General forum with all the links you need.

Try with a complete Ruu, not an OTA:

You cannot install unsigned zips without s-off. You are best going s-off for $25 rather than mess with back to stock.
Have a read through flippy's thread in the general section. All the instructions you need are there.

it's nice but i don't want to pay for something. there must be way to flash stock with s-on. or not?

You just need to flash the official file for your CID/MID. That will work. The files are in Flippy's thread.

that's what end with error code 22...

If the signature check is failing, you have the wrong file, or a corrupted download. Double check your CID and MID, and then check the MD5 of whatever you download.

M9 Nougat Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I come from MaximusHD and I'm very eager to install the new stock rom, BUT:
No matter if I download the extracted zip or extract it my self from RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.14.617.6.exe, both my M9 and my W10 box insists that the zip-file is corrupt. I'm not able to copy the file to my device, and if i fastboot it I get this error:

Unfortunately GSM does not work after firmware update :crying:

THE FOLLOWING WILL WIPE ALL PHONE DATA INCLUDING THINGS ON INTERNAL SD CARD
I downloaded the ota and then the ruu , installed stock recovery and put cid and mid of developer edition.
I pulled out the firmware from the ota , flashed it .
Then i used the ruu normally , and it worked without any problem.
That's how i got it to work coming from custom rom.

Bricked M9, Impossible to flash any firmware? Any suggestion?

This is my device situation so far:
Bottloader: LOCKED
Oem Unlocked: NO (Can't flash any recovery)
Security: S-ON
Main version: 3.36.709.9
CID: HTC__621
Recovery: STOCK
Impossible to boot into OS even after wiping data through recovery.
When trying to flash OTA zip corresponding to the same main version or higher I always get Error 22. I've tried SDCard method, adb sideload and flashing zip through fastboot (rebootRUU, flash zip, etc).
Is there any other way to flash an official firmware for this device? It'd be great to have an official RUU for my version or higher. Or maybe some software from HTC to "restore upgrade errors"?
Thanks in advance!

Check the md5 hash of the file you downloaded and cross reference it on Google. You need to make sure the file you have is complete.

What firmware are you attempting to flash? Recall that the final number in the RUU (xx.xx.xx.yy) does not have to match your phone's OS version.
The 709 SKU has a compatible RUU available in the readme thread (3.36.709.3). Since the file is hosted on Android File Host, the MD5 is posted there (look under download information). On your computer, you can install a MD5 checker (I use File Hasher) to verify that they match.

[HELP] AUS/Optus Model - Deleted OS

This is probably the dumbest thing I have to date :C
At the start of last year I rooted my device and unlocked it, fast forward to the start of this week I tried updating my device but it kept on launching TWRP, so I decided to factory reset it.
However I was a big spud and used advanced wipe - and now the phone will boot straight to the bootloader.
Before I post anything else here is the getvar from download mode.
Code:
(bootloader) kernel: lk

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: OPTUS001
The device is currently in s-on, and I can't remember if it was ever in s-off because it was a long time ago when I rooted it.
I have tried flashing a custom rom with no success, and just recently I have downloaded and tried to flash "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.32.710.16_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_427214_signed.zip"

I don't have any backups of any sort - basically I just want to be able to get this phone running back on stock and leave it at that.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this? My phone has been broken for 3 days and I've wasted a lot of time downloading roms that won't flash (takes a while to download on my crappy ADSL connection).
I should also note I do not have an external SD card, hoping to do it without buying one.
Thanks heaps.

Please read the ReadMe thread. Its RUU section explains why you can't flash the RUU that you mentioned in your OP and why flashing M9 RUUs in general fails if you use fastboot.
After you downloaded the correct files you can try to flash a RUU with the modified fastboot instead of using an SD card. Troubleshooting tips can be found in the FAQ of the same thread. Be aware, that using an SD card is the recommended method since many users aren't able to set up a fastboot environment correctly and using an SD card is less time-consuming than trying to find the user error that prevents fastboot from working correctly.
