stuck on OTA update - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Previously I flashed viper 2.7.0 custom rom and now I want to back to the stock.
I've tried restore the stock rom (CID:622, ver: 1.53.708.4) via TWRP recovery and flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then I relocked bootloader, however there are some problem when I enter to the android system.
First I can't search Wi-Fi and keep notice "Searching for Wi-Fi networks..." but can't search any spot.
Also, I can't receive OTA update. So I've tried to copy the OTA.zip (1.21.708.4 -> 1.53.708.4) to the sd card and flash in the stock recovery but it failed for installation aborted (status 7).
It is also falied flashing the firmware.zip inside via fastboot oem ruu mode.
I stuck in this part and I can't find any solution to solve this problem. Can anyone help?:crying:

please help

You need to flash firmware. Firmware needs to be flashed twice. Also try find an unmodified system.img and boot, which you should have then restore that.
Edit: Or better yet i found an RUU you can use.remember it will erase all your data and internal storage

Phone only starts to CWM - won't boot

Please Help me, I don't know what to do anymore...
Phone is unlocked!
I wanted to install Stock Rom and downloaded RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe from shipped roms, I extracted rom.zip and flashed system.img and boot.img in fastboot.
And now Phone only starts in CWM and won't boot... If I flash Ruu I will lose Unlocked bootloader I think?
Tried flasing sensemod rom but also didn't boot...
Please help :-(
Can I load batterie when phone is off or do I nee strock recovery?
CWM shows:
"E:Invalid command argument"
How can I get latest stock rom
PS: I'm downloading RUU​_Marvel​_S_HTC​_Europe​_2.13​.401​.3_Radio​_47.23c​.35.3037​...exe from filefacotry at the moment but I'm not sure if I can flash (original branding was t-mobile germany)
EDIT:
OH MY GOD , I don't know why but I reflashed system.img and boot.img , wiped everything (dalvik, cache, data) and pulled out battery. After doing that phone boots normaly...
SORRY for making trouble but this isn't my phone!
I have shown how to fix that in my tutorial (link is in my sig)
flashing ruu wont loose your unlock. (and its obtainable again.) Just flash the ruu and report back
Thanks for your help!
The trick was pulling out the battery after flashing, after that the phone booted normally.
I flashed System.img and boot.img from latest ruu via fastboot!
IF it won't work after that try advanced -> "reboot recovery" and after that normal reboot

What are you trying to do in the first place?
If you're going to flash a custom rom, place the rom in your SD card or internal storage, do a full wipe and install the rom.
If you're returning to stock for OTA, restore your nandroid backup (system, kernel etc) after which flash your stock recovery and do a reset from settings than search for OTA.
If you can't boot into recovery, flash the latest TWRP on your phone through fastboot. Use the commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img

It had a custom recovery on it Team win recovery project......which was stopping the software from updating.
So tried to put the stock recovery back on it.
At the moment I don't think its corresponding properly with my laptop......in the fastboot menu it does come up "fastboot usb" Drivers are installed too
But when trying to send it commands via command prompt it keeps saying device not found.
I'm wondering if it has deleted to operating system , as on the fastboot menu next to " OS - it says nothing "
Sorry for being brief....this is the first time i've ever come across all this stuff

[Q] another person stuck with HTC splash screen

I have a Canadian HTC m9 , bootloader unlock, Twrp , rooted.
i was going to do a OTA to get the fix for the camera and heat issue. however on the process to revert back i end up stuck on the HTC splash screen with recover twrp acess .
what i did is did flash my backup file before the root and tried flashing stock recovery file. but no luck.
i tried flashing again the twrp and still no luck. and everytime i tried to reboot it shows NO OS installed.
any suggestion on what i can do to fix it? im kind new in HTC, i read upon the forum and not sure where to get RUU or the right ROM or if i should flash does stuff..... can i get some help?
I would suggest you flash the latest recovery through fastboot (2.8.6.4) from here https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M9)/Recovery and try to flash a custom rom or run an RUU if there is any for your variant

you solved the problem at the meantime?
if not.
push via adb a rom.zip to your sdcard and flash it via twrp recovery
yes it did fix it, i was able to boot the phone up again however, can i still flash my original back up so that i can get OTA? i tried using Venon ROM and according to them i can get the OTA but when i tried to update it no update available and i know there is one. i check my build # it still the old one, 1.32.401.17 CL506785 release key.
any idea?
thanks for your time.

M8s stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
