Stuck with branded Bootloader 0.80

edit: It finally worked. I cleaned the microsd with diskpart and made a new goldcard, then I flashed a HTC WWE 2.29 Image, with the PB99IMG method. Now Im on bootloader 0.93.00. Back to business (I don't know exactly why the goldcard worked this time, or maybe the goldcard wasnt the problem)
Hello,
I tried to go back to the original state (TMobile germany branded). The phone was S-Off and rooted and I had a cm7 partition table.
At first I just tried to flash over an original T Mobile Rom (RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570a_signed.exe).
Everything worked, and after that I did put the newest OTA Update on the phone. Checking to see what bootloader I have I saw that I was still Security Off. So I flashed a downgrade HBoot from the alpharev page. After that I flashed the same T Mobile Rom again to have an original HBoot.
Somewhere in the middle of the procedure though it stopped and I was stuck in that screen with four triangles on the sides and HTC written in the middle. At first I thought now its totally bricked without hboot, but I was able to reboot into HBoot. Also i can get to fastboot and the standard recovery mode. The current Hboot is 0.80 and S-ON.
Now from there on I tried many things:
- Downgrader from xdadevelopers does not work because one has to be in a working system
- Unrevoked does need a working system
- Tried same TMobile Rom numerous times with the installer on PC (gives bootloader version wrong 140) and as update.zip in recovery mode (signature verification failed)
- Tried RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe and RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
- I made a goldcard and tried to flash these roms from the goldcard in recovery mode
- Tried to flash the ota update I installed through recovery mode
- Also I tried all of these things with the rom.zip named as PB99IMG.zip in Bootloader
- Fastboot commands do not work, So I should have a locked Bootloader now
- The old root method with goldcard which did not work
- I tried to get into an adb shell in recovery mode with various drivers to get the cid of the sd card to make a new goldcard but the device is listed as offline
I am not really sure why the goldcard does not work, maybe my saved goldcard image got messed up for some reason. Unfortunately I can't get the cid of the phone, because I can't use adb meaning the phone is recognized with "adb devices" but shown as offline.
If there is some other way to get the cid that I have not found as of yet, that might help.
Otherwise I am out of ideas... I hope its not bricked, help is greatly appreciated
edit: official update utility tmobile rom shows that I'm coming from 2.12.110.2 and going to 1.21.110.4 so it seems like the room still exists somehow but cannot boot, bootloader starts and deletes user data, sends data, updates signature=> bootloader version error 140

Not at all, you are fine. Since you are s-off, you can flash a stock RUU and start fresh.
Download this RUU - http://goo.gl/JEkyCk
Then follow this instruction -
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rename file to rom.zip)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
That will leave you in stock 4.3 android, then you can just use a command line to unlock bootloader since you are s-off.
Hope I helped!

Trying to recover M8 that suddenly stopped allow WiFI/Mobile Signal

I have a barely functioning M8 and I could really do with some help.
A friend gave me his M8 a few weeks ago, the M8 would not boot. It was getting stuck on the boot animation. From what I could tell, I think the device had been interrupted during an update.
The M8 is Europe model, with MM installed. Bootloader was unlocked at HTC.com but is still S-ON. CID is HTC__001 and MID is 0P6B10000
I installed a custom recovery and flashed the latest ARHD. Finally the device booted fine and showed the correct software/baseband etc. in hboot and settings/about phone. Made test calls etc. it worked fine.
A couple of weeks later the guy is back to me saying the phone suddenly stopped sending/receiving signals, wifi no longer turns on and the phone will not acknowledge any SIM that is inserted.
First look shows the baseband, in settings/about phone, now shows "unknown". But booting to the hboot shows the correct radio version.
I went searching XDA/the internet for the MM radio.img but was never able to find it.
So next I looked for the Europe MM RUU, I needed to ensure that the radio was repaired, which I apparently found at this url:
Code:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
it has a file called 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip
Now I have come across several XDA threads that say this file show be renamed to 0P6BIMG.zip put it on the root of the SD card and then boot to hboot where it will automatically find and install it. But with this file, when doing that it says image fail press power to reboot and never installs the file.
Next I came across an XDA thread that said I need to boot the phone into RUU mode and use htc_fastboot to flash the file, having renamed it to RUU.zip. but despite this being a 1.6Gb file it is detected as 53Mb by fastboot and again fails saying the file is corrupt.
I downloaded the file several times and no matter which method I us, it is the same result it will not flash the RUU. I have found a different hoster with the same file, same end result.
I need to fix this poor M8 and at this point I am out of ideas. Please, if any one can offer some advice on fixing this thing, I would appreciate it.

1. Is the bootloader unlocked when you flash the RUU.zip ? It needs a relocked bootloader - command : fastboot oem lock
2. It needs RUU mode to run the RUU.zip - command : fastboot oem rebootRUU

Many thanks for the response.
1) how do I unlock the bootloader once it has been relocked? I believe it is problematic so I have thus far avoided relocking.
2) Yes, the phone was in RUU mode, as my post explained. It had the silver HTC on the screen.
I have already followed that guide and it wasn't successful. I am assuming due to the unlocked bootloader. But as I explained the PC only uploaded 53Mb of a 1.6Gb RUU to the phone, I don't know if that is due to the unlocked bootloader or not.
Do I have any other options to repair the radio (and any other partitions without relocking the bootloader and flashing an RUU ?
Kind regards

A S-On device must have a locked or relocked bootloader in order to install RUU or firmware.zip
Only on S-Off device you don't need to relock bootloader.
To re unlock the bootloader, just fastboot flash the Unlock_code.bin that you can get from htcdev.com
command - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
You also can try to flash a full signed firmware.zip instead of RUU.zip to see whether that will fix your problem... but still require a relocked bootloader on S-On device. (RUU.zip is highly recommended)

Bootloop on HTC M9

Hi, as the title says my HTC is stuck in bootloop and the OS wont load. Tried the data wipe clean and the factory reset it the problem was not resolved.
Read about 101 solutions but each the my problem with all these solutions is it requires my phone bootloader to be unlocked and S-OFF. My phone bootloader is Locked and S-ON, now a lot of you will tell me to unlock the bootloader by turning on the developer options in my phone but the problem is how do I do so when the phone doesnt load the OS at all?
Summary :- Bootloop
Bootloader Locked
S-ON
Doesnt Load the OS for me to enable the Developer Options
HELP!!!
Thanks

Put the phone in download mode, plug it into your pc, obtain and run htc_fastboot.exe with the cmd command "fastboot getvar all" (must be executed from the fastboot directory/folder)..
Paste the results in your next post..

Htc one m9 s-on

Hi there,
Yesterday phone just turned off and since then there is no way to turn it on. I've managed to download RUU File and ive tried to run it form sd there is a problem :
ibb.co/cnu2DH
ibb.co/cqbcfx
Is there any way to turn s-off from bootload mode? Because there is no way to turn this on so i can turn off it from programmer options
ibb.co/nG3ZSc
I cant post links as a new user so please copy it yourself.

You need to flash recovery from download not bootloader and you need an unlocked bootloader.
Also you can't flash ruu from recovery, you need to put the file named as 0PJAIMG.zip in the root of your fat32 formatted sdcard and boot in download.
If you need more help you need to boot in download and run "fastboot getvar all" then post the result here(remove imei, sn).

No, you need to enable oem unlocking in settings to be able to unlock it.
Your only option is to flash it by ruu.
This is the ruu for your phone: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767124956
Rename it to 0PJA100.zip and put in root of your fat32 formatted sdcard then boot in download and follow onscreen instructions.

Well did as you said and problem is the same - when I start it from download mode it just keeps rebooting phone with HTC logo.
Looks like this phone is really dead thanks for your support

The process completed successfully, without any errors? If so, the nand is most probably dead.
Also you can try the fastboot method to flash, maybe you have some luck...
You need htc_fastboot.exe for this
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
"fastboot flash zip RUU.zip" - do the command again when/if it asks.
"fastboot reboot" - when the process finish.
