I had the same issue. I got the 4.20.531.4 RUU to run no problem. I just took the OTA when I kept getting 155 error.

No clue... has anyone installed via RUU successfully?

Same problem. Any help?

I had the same issue and screwed around with it for hours trying to figure it out. Ended up flashing this firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686131
then rerunning the RUU. Went through fine. Not saying it will work for you, but it worked for me.

I'm stock 5.0.2 with S-On and have never been rooted or unlocked the bootloader (my mother in laws phone) and I get this same error 155 when trying to use the RUU for Marshmallow that I downloaded from HTC. I think the problem is because the OTA that pops up is to prep for Marshmallow but after it installs and reboots it soft bricks the phone and I have to do a factory reset from the bootloader which causes the OTA to never finish so I'm screwed, any ideas?

Flash signed firmware 6.20.531.5 from here (instruction on how to flash at the bottom of the post), then RUU.
The post before yours has it right. But the unsigned firmware linked in that post will only work with s-off. The signed firmware I linked to will work with s-on.

Thank you so much, I'll try that!

Thanks a lot, it's worked for my HTC One M8.

I flashed the signed firmware and it worked thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Installing Lolipop RUU from Marshmallow, S-OFF, unlocked

Hi, my phone is currently S-OFF running on marshmallow, but I would like to install the RUU below due to the issue with my phone's IMEI. Apparently the IMEI is lost and that's causing no network detected.
RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.19.707.2_Radio_1.25.21331147A1.06G_20.69.4196.01_F_release_414204_signed.exe
The problem is I keep getting the [error] 159 image error when trying to run the RUU, the phone is unlocked.

Do fastboot getvar all and post the result (delete IMEI if applicable, and serial number, before posting), so we can see info about the phone.

RUU is correct for your version. The RUU is Lollipop, and the present main version on the phone is Marshmallow. Normally, its okay to "downgrade" with s-off. But there has been a change with Marshmallow, where if you try to go back, you need to flash the 4.19.707.2 firmware first, then the RUU should install properly.
Not sure if you will find the 4.19.707.2 firmware posted anywhere. But if not, you can look in your Windows temp folder for ROM.zip after trying to run the RUU. Inside ROM.zip, you should find firmware.zip.

I couldn't seems to be able to locate the ROM.zip file you mentioned anywhere in Windows temp file, after running the RUU.exe.

Updating to latest firmware

I'm looking to update my HTC One M8 to the latest firmware. I understand the safest way to do this is though a stock rom and run through prompted updates?
Can anyone point me in the right direction, given the details of my phone below:
Also not sure what bootloader / custom ROM I should flash after update if anyone has any suggestions for a nice speedy rom. Doesn't need to be sense.
Thanks in advance

Just an update. I've managed to get back to stock using a thread on these forums. This is what I'm on now:
I've updated so far with updates through Settings > About > Software Update and it no longer finds anymore updates. It says my phone is upto date? I'm pretty sure it's not

Your main point is to have the latest Marshmallow firmware.
As your device is S-Off, change the CID ORANG001 to SuperCID 11111111
then you can install any Marshmallow firmware for MID 0P6B10000
If you want to stick to CID ORANG001, the only firmware that you can install is 6.12.61.4
Install firmware ... install latest TWRP then you can install any custom ROM that you like.
You don't really need to return to stock and do update ... if not then what's the point that you have S-Off device.

Broken processor/softbricked?

So, I got an HTC One M8 of a friend of mine. I tried to repair the phone as it was in a bootloop. However, even after installing several different roms it wouldn't start. I noticed another strange thing; Whenever I want to go from the bootloader to recovery, it takes absolutely ages (read: 10-15 minutes) to actually get to this. I tried it with a custom recovery as well as the stock recovery. This makes me think it has something to do with the CPU?
So far I've tried different ROMs, a nandroid backup, updating my firmware and (unsuccesfully) finding a RUU file for my HTC M8. I have included the getvar information for further possible details:

I posted the getvar in another thread in which other people also posted theirs, so I accidentally copied someone else's info!
And I was afraid of that as I have been looking for it as well... Is there maybe a generic RUU file that works for most m8 devices?

no every device variant have it's own RUU ( available or not )
your best solution ( i'm afraid it's the only ) is to restore a stock backup then flash the signed firmware

yea, just tried this again, didn't work, was stuck again on the o1ne screen after the vodafone logo. after installing a custom rom (android revolution HD 53.1) it was also stuck on the same screen. the last time it was stuck on this screen, it didn't get any further after a full 8+ hours of waiting. I waited for an hour on both flashings, but nothing at all...
Thanks for assisting me so far anyway

bump!
I really would want to use this phone...

Firmware

--
