Use a later version fastboot (v2 or 3) and do the update twice.

I've used latest version, probably the file i wanted to flash was corrupted, because with kinghunki's exe it worked.

How can i get update OTA direct from HTC?

Hi everyone,
I'm S-on, unlocked. I used custom Rom, now i want to come back ROM stock for update firmware.
I formatted data and came back to Nandroid, then i flashed to come back stock recovery.
But when i do update, it notify:
Can't update software. There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance.
It means that i can't update directly from HTC.
Now how can i do ?
Thanks you for your help.

You need to find the ruu for your model and run it on your pc, that's the easiest method. Then you will need to reroot.

i relocked, go to RUU mod, run fastboot flash zip rom.zip and no result:

Using HTC 10 batch tool in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
and i was was successful, may be this probem came from my phone/adb, fastboot

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.

[TWRP] recovery in htc desire 820 dual sim.

I want to insert a custom ROM in HTC Desire 820 dual sim. I have unlocked the bootloader and tried to insert a TWRP recovery. I have tried multiple recoveries namely:
HTC_A51_TWRP_Recovery_3.0.2-0_htcui
HTC_D820_TWRP-Recovery-2.8.7.0-en
HTC_TWRP_Recovery_All
recovery.iso
twrp-3.0.2-0-a32e
twrp-3.1.1-0-a5
twrp-3.2.2-0-a51cml_tuhl
While trying to flash these Unfortunately I Corrupted the OS. The first four of the above TWRP either won't get flashed due to

It doesn't have an OEM unlock and I'm pretty much new to recovery and root stuff. Please suggest me how can I root this device too, so I don't fall into further problems. Also my ADB doesn't detect the driver but fastboot does. Please not that all the above mentioned recoveries are for official Htc desire 820 (except the last one) some have been picked up from this site, some by youtube or other forums. Thanks in advance

check the status of the bootloader in download mode.
what version of firmware are you trying to install via Recovery, does it match your device model?
if everything matches what it should be - OK.
it may be that the archive with the firmware is damaged, a possible case.
format the partitions in TWRP: cache, system, data, internal data.
it is also possible that with the stock firmware the "Unlock OEM" checkbox was not set in the developer's point, the TWRP flashing will not help, you need a stock RUU.
in extreme cases, the internal memory of the smartphone is damaged and requires replacement.
(not all firmwares can be flashed through the modern TWRP version, a downgrade is necessary).

you most likely have an Unlocked version of the device.
everything is simple: model - OPJA1100 - CID (region) - BS_US001.
on your device it is possible to change the CID using the ADB terminal, but the state of the device is S-OFF (read on the Internet).
CID in state 11111111 indicates that a universal region is installed on the smartphone and is marked SuperCID (universal).
CID - 11111111 -> BS_US001
MID - OPJA1100 is OK.
the fact that you have a SuperCID value of 11111111 is not an error, this is a valid option.
try experimenting with changing the region, you need a stock firmware from the American operator AT&T.

RUU. zip was pulled from the original HTC M9 Unlocked/Developer Edition RUU.exe based on 4.30.617.12. Rename this zip file to
androidfilehost.com
flash this RUU if CID changed to BS_US001.
