[Q] Help Needed

Hi guys,
i seemed to have bricked my phone because all i can do is boot into bootloader, download mode, recovery mode. it has stock recovery and relocked bootloader.
i want it boot into android anyway possible stock or not. I can provide anydetails required about my phone. I have tried several RUUs and 0PJAIMG.zip files but nothing seems to be working.
For RUUs i get the error "Please get the correct Rom Update Utility and try again" and for 0PJAIMG.zip files my phone says "SD CARD NOT MOUNTED" in download mode. Please help me revive my phone and sorry for a long.
Thanks in Advance.
Edit: Even if anyone can link me to a x.xx.425.xx ruu, that would be great.
1.40.425.10 or 1.34.425.7 or 1.34.425.5 or 2.11.425.7

This is my phone's information

I assume your phone is S-ON. You can't downgrade or flash RUUs for different SKUs than 425.
The problem: There are only RUUs for firmware 1.34.425.7 and 1.34.425.8. So unless you don't have S-OFF you can't use them.

how can i get s-off when my phone won't go past the bootloader?
can you provide me with the links to x.xx.425.x RUUs?

Did you try re-unlocking via HTCdev? The M9 has some security checks which prevent the phone from booting if the bootloader is locked/relocked and the phone is not completely stock. If that doesn't help you may need to look for someone with a java card.
For answering your second question I'm qoting myself from another thread:

ir-file.com
But you need to pay if you want to download files from that site. Since I know someone who has an account I may be able to get one of the RUUs for you. (Can't guarantee anything.)

As far as I know the 1.34.425.7 RUU is getting uploaded on AFH at the moment. But as said before you won't be able to use it without S-OFF.

I can't re-unlock my phone i tried like 3 times already.
That would be great if you could upload the file and link it here...

There you go (thanks to Handy-FAQ.de). But as said before it's useless if you don't have S-OFF.
Edit: I guess the option OEM Unlock (located in developer options) hasn't been activated before you relocked the bootloader, am I right? That's why you can't re-unlock. But you could still look for someone who owns a java card to get S-OFF, use the RUU service on Llabtoofer's website or hope that someone creates and uploads a TWRP backup that contains an untouched system image, the boot image and the stock recovery of your currently installed firmware.

M9 - Returning to stock from a higher firmware version

Hello,
I'm on telus and have rooted and gotten the s-off flag. I'm running Viper Rom currently. In settings, my version shows the build number 2.10.401.1 CL576582 release-keys
Am I correct that the recovery files with version 1.3 will not work? (e.g. 2015-07-27--21-18-11_LRX22G_release-keys.zip) will not work? I would like to go all the way back to stock, complete with the original splash screen without the red text. If this will not work, what would one do?
Apologies for the novice question. Any guidance would be appreciated

So if I understood you correctly you want to return your M9 to full stock.
If so, it would be useful to post the information given to you by performing the "fastboot getvar all" command in bootloader mode, and post it (WITHOUT serial no. and IMEI) to make sure which kind of device you are running and which firmware and ROM is needed to do so.
By your post I could only assume, that it is a WWE device given by your SKU (x.xx.401.x). If so - and given you are S-OFF - you could have used the search and would have found @Flippy498's thread, where he describes how to go back to stock in his google sheet. To do so you could download (assuming your information are correct) the 3.35.401.12 RUU from the afore mentioned thread and follow the instructions in the google sheet. Thus you'd be fully stock again and already updated tithe latest MM ROM.

Thanks for the post. I had tried a whole bunch of things, including the post you mentioned. But no luck. I suspect now it was because my sku was originally . 661. And when I installed viper rom, I perhaps didn't change the cid to super and used a. 401 sku version. Not sure if this would be a cause, but I was getting system freezes all the time. Anyway, that was months ago, and I clearly messed it up somewhere. Now time for a cleanup.
Thanks again.

Hey again, so I went and grabbed the ruu for htc wwe... Went to download mode and started flashing. Unfortunately it stopped working and threw up error 10, saying the model Id is incorrect.
My mid is 0PJA11000... Is necessary to change it in the ruu? Thanks.

Ok I see you got a TELUS001 device. Thus you'd need to change the CID back to "TELUS001" an could revert back to stock using this TWRP Backup.
After this you need the stock recovery, but I'm still searching for it.
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine ?.

Thanks HTCNerdYoda!! I'll give that a try!
I had been working under the logic that having a supercid set negates the need for a backup with the carrier cid. Maybe this is why I was having issues. Thanks again!

How to flash ROM to my HK M9?

I went thru a few threads but couldn't find any direct tutorial to flash my m9. I downloaded ota, but i cant s-off my unit(sunshine doesn't work), thus i cant flash it. maybe its running new OS?
I wanted to flash any rom to my m9, either stock or wwe or cyanogenmod, but all seems to require s-off.
my play store is missing & even though i did a master reset(tried from normal menu n also bootloader mode), playstore just wont appear.
here are my details :
Non-rooted
S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
firmware 3.42.708.3
fastboot result :
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) imei: Mod Edit: Removed
(bootloader) version-main: 3.42.708.3

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__044
I went thru about 5 threads but cant find a direct solution, I hope I'm not asking something that is widely posted here, seems i just can't S-off. Any helps to flash roms in my situation?

Anyone care to help out?

There is no other publicly available RUU for your SKU than a 1.32.708.15 one which you can't use due to downgrades not being possible without S-OFF.

dear flippy, can i install custom rom while its S-ON? I know how 2 do it on prev HTCs(unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash rom, flash boot.img), but no sure if m9 is applicable..

Yes, you can. However you need to re-flash the stock boot.img of your phone afterwards or you'll loose your mobile reception (this only applies to sense-based roms). If you want to use a non-sense-based rom like cm you need to flash thicklizard's mono kernel instead of the stock boot image.

Soft Bricked HK M9 - OS-3.42.708.3

need your help guys
i really dont know how the phone got to the position where it says that the software modified, as far as i know, no one tried to flash any 3rd party roms.
current status:
software: modified
Locked
S-on
whats available:
bootloader, recovery, download modes are available, phone is recognized via fastboot, but not much info there
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) imei: 35xxxxxxxxxxxxx350
(bootloader) version-main: 3.42.708.3
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__622
what's impossible:
*can't unlock officially - as i don't have working system to enable oem unlock at dev options
*can't flash twrp backup as i cant flash different recovery - s-on
*can't flash any ota update with working system.img - s-on
*can't flash RUU zip as there isn't one with my current version and can't downgrade - s-on
any suggestions whats available for me to fix it?

How did it end up in that state?.
Beamed in by telepathy.

im not sure, the device belong to a friend, its not mine, im just trying to help out

It looks like it got "killed" by trying to set back "unlocked" and "S-OFF" to "locked" and "S-ON". Your only hope is llabtoofer's RUU service because as you already found out there is no publicly available RUU for that phone. Direct links can be found in my sticky thread in the general section or in my google sheet.

Help, my Htc one m9 is bricked from relocking the bootloader.

Hi, I am new on this forum.
I have a problem with my M9. About a year ago, I installed TWRP recovery and rooted android 6.0. Since then I hadn't made any changes to my phone. Once android nougat came out, i couldn't update it with ota update so i decided to return to stock recovery. I flashed the recovery and everything worked fine. I decided to update it with a RUU as the safest bet, and i read somewhere that you need to relock the bootloader. I relocked it and everything seemed fine, it was relocked in bootloader mode but now I can't boot to recovery mode and cannot boot the phone. I can access download mode and bootloader mode. I also can't update it with the ruu because I get signature error 132. I also can't unlock the bootloader, everything goes fine and at the end it still says "relocked". My cid is htc_032 european. What should I do now?

You shouldn't have relocked it... As far as I know, relocking the m9 is not required... Try searching for solutions or wait for someone with more knowledge regarding your situation...

What RUU are you using?
Also, I recommend editing your post to remove your IMEI.

Thanks for the tip about IMEI.
I tried the developer ruu version from the HTC website but i saw that it isn't compatible. I can't find a ruu for my phone that is compatible. I only found zips, but i have no clue how to use them. I know how to flash them, but my bootloader won't unlock. Do you have any idea how to proceed?
