Can't escape from boot menu. Help with installing any rom.

I tried to update my phone to 6.0 from 4.4.2 with ADB. Came with an error "System partition size error". It doesn't see the SD card when I tried to install from it.
My phone stuck at hboot screen. I can only access recovery and hboot menu. And when I tried to update to Lolipop with exe from a computer it says "Error 155: Unknown error". Xp 32 bit USB 2.0.
After I said reboot system through TWRP and it said No OS installed! .
But I have already installed ViperOne 3.2.1 Kitkat and Stock 4.4.4 before without any error still can't escape from boot menu. Any help would appreciate.

Did you update the firmware? I ran into a similar issue because my device shipped out with 4.4.2.
To update the firmware, you have to do the following:
Set your OEM's CID. Do not use SUPERCID.
My device was GPE, so [fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001]
Re-lock your Bootloader using Fastboot.
[fastboot oem lock ] then [fastboot reboot ruu]
You'll see the device logo centered onscreen.
Flash a firmware update file (does NOT have to be a whole ROM) and you'll be able to update to the threshold of that firmware.
I have Marshmallow firmware. So I can use MM or LP as well as KK ROMs now without bootloop.
Be sure to hit thanks if I helped! Be even more sure to PM me if you need help (like firmware files if you have the same variant).

My current firmware is: 3.28.401.9. Which one do you suggest to install? And I would really appreciate if you send me firmware files. I'm not sure which variant's firmware I should use.
Edit: By the way I can install roms but ruu.exe gives me error.

wrong ...
your firmware is 1.12.401.17 as shown on your getvar details on post #1.
and your device is a sprint device (m8_whl) and you should not flash any GSM firmware.
Sprint & GSM has different System partition size (your error)
change your model-ID currently shown as 0P6B10000 back to to sprint 0P6B70000
and install Sprint RUU or firmware. You can find them on Sprint forum.

He is S-Off. No need to relock the bootloader ever.
And for S-On users, the only time you will need to relock the bootloader is for running an RUU
Also, superCID will work with any firmware. No need to set the CID to his carrier's (not OEM's) CID

I thought so too. I'm also s-off but my firmware update stalled code 20 until I relocked the bootloader. But when I was finished I reversed that course [fastboot OEM unlock] and then dismissed the warning.
That's exactly what I did. Note that I mention RUU in my Fastboot instructions. :\

Thank you I will try and tell the results. I though that my device was GSM didn't even know that it was Sprint. I was totally wrong at first then.

Something I got in the Fastboot.
You open a command window and reference the file.
You either get a OKAY (milliseconds taken) or FAILED (error##). Some errors are obvious, like the cable disconnected, your recovery is out of date, update your SDK.

Sometimes remembering this stuff makes my head hurt. I often went to webchat to diagnose issues or find similarities.
Sometimes it's how I word a problem, the other time its the problem itself that throws off a bit... ?

My device won't open (only hboot and fastboot, no recovery) so I'm not sure how I can use adb since it doesn't show my device and its serial number. I appreciate your help...

How did you do that ? You wrote the code on your own instead of copy paste the whole code ? I don't know whether can fix that ... let's try again.
1. You need to install the old version TWRP recovery as your current hboot is 3.16.0.0000
install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
2. After TWRP 2.8.1.0 installed, boot to recovery
mount - system
3. connect to PC and open a command prompt from your fastboot/adb folder then run command
adb shell
then this code (copy and paste .. don't write them on command prompt on your own)
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x37\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
exit
on recovery select reboot - bootloader
then run command fastboot getvar mid - you should have 0P6B70000 now (hopefully)

Firstly I want to thank you with your help I've changed model-id.
Then I installed this firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059188
and the screen was like that: http://hizliresim.com/4lZjAL
I've succeeded to open boot menu. Then I tried to install this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347796593
but sd card gave me "wrong zippe image!". When I tried to install with .exe it gave me "Error: 155 Unknown error". Couldn't install with command either. I think something is wrong with firmware or rom. By the way there's a text "OP6B100x" behind my phone. Are we sure about the variant of my phone? I'm not even sure which firmware and rom I should install. I appreciate all your help.

Text "OP6B100x" behind your phone most probably due to change of back cover.
Your getvar on post #1 clearly shown it is Sprint
meid: 99000499006617
product: m8_whl
where the "OP6B100x" should read
meid: 00000000000000
product: m8_ul
After you installed 6.20.651.3_full_firmware.zip, you should run the 6.20.651.3 RUU.exe (you should not get error 155)
but instead, you tried a lower version RUU.zip which require a htc_fastboot to flash it. I don't know what you meant by "sd card gave me "wrong zippe image!"". Was it you tried with external_sd method ?
about the screen that you get .. I don't know for sure .. maybe it's because your ROM version is wrong for the firmware that newly installed ... and maybe (the one that I'm always scare of) .. you previously installed GSM firmware 1.12.401.17 on a CDMA device which may altered some of your system partition tables.
That's why there's a big warning here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51700638&postcount=2
warning! provided only for folks who have changed their mid and realized they shouldnt have,or achieved s off via a java card. DO NOT change a gsm or vzw device to this in attempts to use it on sprint and convert to a sprint device(or vice versa).​
Can you post current fastboot getvar all result after you made all these changes ? You may need to reflash the 6.20.651.3 and run 6.20.651.3 RUU.exe after the firmware installed.

Solved: Bootloop to bootloader, can't find RUU for 3.35.166.12

Hi!
I unlocked my BL and flashed TWRP and CM13 on my M9. After that my mobile data doesn't worked anymore. So I wanted to update the firmware/radio. For S-OFF the Sunshine.apk doesn't work on CM13. So I relocked my BL for RUU. But, after relocking BL my phone is in bootloop to the bootloader. Only bootloader and download mode are possible, no recovery.
Now I'm looking for a RUU, but can't find any working :crying:
May somebody help me finding a RUU or rescue my phone anyway please?

You're pretty ahead of the game - and with access to bootloader & download mode, you're in good shape. Since you already have your CID, all you need to do is look it up in the list created by Sneakyghost/Behold_this and then find the matching RUU in Flippy498's spreadsheet. Follow his instructions for applying the RUU via the SD card method and you'll be back to stock.
I've got both in my signature below (use the spoilers buttons).
-----------------------
Useful links for modding your HTC M9
Flippy498's Google Sheet
- the end-all, be-all resource for HTC M9 restoration
SKU-, CID- and MID-List by Sneakyghost and Behold_this
- a spreadsheet for using your CID & MID to identify your phone
HTC Sync Manager
- installs the necessary drivers & ADB tools for the HTC M9
Instructions for obtaining your CID, MID & software version on Windows:
a. Install HTC Sync Manager (this will install the necessary drivers & ADB tools)
b. Boot your phone into download mode (from a powered off state, turn on by holding the POWER+DOWNVOL)
c. Connect your phone to your PC
d. Open a command prompt window
e. Navigate to the ADB tools folder, typically C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync
- assuming the path is correct, you can cut & paste this command into your terminal: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync
f. Execute the following command in a terminal (command prompt): fastboot getvar all
g. Copy the lines that mention product, version-main, mid, and cid.

Thx for your helpfull post!
My problem is finding a RUU for VODAP110 and x.xx.166.x.
Or can I flash x.xx.161.x without bricking?

Your phone won't accept the 161 RUU since your phone is S-ON. In other words there is no risk of bricking.
As already written on Handy-FAQ: If you can't re-unlock your phone you will either need to pay for ir-file.com to get a 166 RUU or you will have to pay for llabtoofer's RUU service. I couldn't find any other sources for the RUU you need.
If you are able to re-unlock then you can flash a Sense rom like Viper and get S-OFF afterwards. With S-OFF you can change your CID and flash an international, unbranded 401 RUU.

If you provide the MD5 check sum for the file then I can add the link to the ReadMe thread.
Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed that it's a combined_signed RUU. Therefore, only users with S-OFF can use it and adding it to the ReadMe thread isn't a good idea.

Are you sure about this? I personally flashed this file while my phone was unrooted and S-ON when my stock rom got corrupted a couple of months ago. It was only afterwards that I rooted, flashed custom recovery and did S-OFF.
UPDATE: I think this is the MD5 (I ran the windows CertUtil to calculate it):
ff 9d ad b4 c6 78 de 5b c3 e8 d4 69 dc e9 78 c3

So far, all combined_signed RUUs that I've faced during the last couple of years were only flashable with S-OFF.
Those aren't official RUUs (which are only labeled as signed). The combined_signed ones (that I've seen so far) are custom made and comparable with Sneakyghost's firmware files. The files inside the *.zip are official and correctly signed by HTC but the *.zip itself is custom made and therefore not correctly signed. S-ON devices refuse to get flashed with *.zip files that aren't signed properly since that's the whole purpose of S-ON. It should prevent you from flashing unofficial files on your phone.

Thanks for the explanation Flippy It makes sense. So in worse case scenario the phone won't event attempt a flash if the signature is unsigned? If that is the case it might be worth a shot?
Now I'm very surprised how this worked for me. I was 100% S-On at that time.

The only explanation that I have is that the file might be wrongly labeled...

Not Getting The OTA Update To 6.0

i just bought HTC M8 Days ago but it was pre rooted and on the 5.0.1 i cant update it to marshamllow
it S-Off and when i try to update it says you have the latest update
Software number
4.18.708.12
i tried to install OTA Flash via stock recovery but i got error
how i updaate manually or enable OTA's
dont wanna root now
please help me here

You can't install OTA on rooted ROM ... it needs pure non-rooted stock ROM.
You can try to restore only the system partition from non-rooted backup.
You can get the backup and stock recovery for 4.18.708.12 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

i deleted root before doing any thing
can i do it without rooting or unlocking bootloader because i dont know how to do it on HTC Phone and those CID and stuff really bug me out
itried flashing ota with stock recovery got this error
http://prntscr.com/bivh4o
whats wrong here ?

Why on post #1 you said you have HKG 4.18.708.12
But in your screenshot you tried to install EU 6.12.401.4 OTA
and it failed because your stock recovery is TMOB US.
Post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
We need to make sure the correct version that you have.

if the first cid and mid is the current now you can't flash Tmobile RUU
( there is a simple fix for this issue as you said your device is s-off but i'm afraid to say it,then you screw up )
so post the result of fastboot getvar all ( after removing serial and imei numbers ) to be certain what you need to do
and don't use an app to read cid and mid

Are you located in US and on T-Mobile network ?
If no, I suggest you to change the MID to EU MID 0P6B10000 then install EU Marshmallow RUU.
Some say once you have SuperCID, there is no need to change MID as SuperCID will override MID but in my experience that will never happen (flashing a modded firmware.zip is different as it has almost all MID in its android-info.txt). Unless you MID is SuperMID, you need to change MID to EU if you want to install EU RUU.
You can follow this guide to change MID - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
then install RUU - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
If yes, in US and on T-Mobile network, you need different approach.

Then go for the option that I mentioned earlier.
First - change MID
Second - install RUU
Change MID
What you need to do .. boot to bootloader and install TWRP - maybe version 2.8.7.0 will do
https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
after you install TWRP - boot to recovery
Mount - system
then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
then type
adb shell
follow by
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
don't write yourself the code, copy and paste
then type exit
select reboot menu, select bootloader
then install RUU
Edit : your bootloader is locked, relocked or unlocked ? If locked and relocked, you can't fastboot flash the TWRP in normal way.
Download this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70439093&postcount=412
No worry about the OS no. that will be changed later once you install RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then follow with the above to change MID
Install RUU

Not enough info to say, for sure.
Which RUU number?
Exactly where does it get stuck? Any error messages?

After double clicking the ruu the installaion wizard pops up and after selecting the next option the installion bar goes to full and after that installion wizard vanishes and nothing happens.

htc one m8 tmobile software update problem

Guys, my htc one m8 tmobile op6b130 ( bootloader looked, s-off) current software 4.16.1540.8. ... It does not install the update and says that i must revert back to original system software because it is modified version.
so please guide me how to get it done.. how do i install the update. Thanks

What do you mean by software number (where are you reading the nubmer)? Best thing to go by, is the OS number listed on the bootloader screen.
Also, an OTA will fail if the phone is rooted, custom ROM, or even unrooted (needs to be a never rooted stock ROM).
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Otherwise, did you change the CID or MID (and know what they currently are)?

Bootloader screen is like
Software status official
***locked*** S -off
cid -11111111
OS 4.16.1540.8
The model written at rear bottom of my htc is Op6b130 .
i get update with a number 4.17.1540.9 which does not install.
Thats the real confusion with me .. so please tell me the way how do i install the next updates.

The phone is heavily modified. It has some point been rooted, SuperCID (11111111) and had the US Developers Edition (4.16.1540.8) firmware and/or RUU applied.
Do you know the history of these mods; did you do them, or did someone else mod the phone?
Can't say for certain, unless I know more details. But the easiest way to update to the latest (MM) version may be to flash 6.12.1540.4 firmware, then flash the 6.12.1540.4 RUU.

I did not do anything like that. I got my htc in this form.
so if MM update is better. Can you please tell me the procedure of installing firmware and ruu file as you said. I would be very grateful to you for this.

Would this procedure be right for me?

Yes, that would actually work, and describes what I was talking about. Nice work finding it yourself!
I'm not sure whether you need to change the MID or not. CID is fine to run the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. And SuperCID will actually bypass the MID in some situations (but not all). Plus, with the info given so far, I can't tell what the current MID is (it may already have been changed).
If you do need to change the MID, you will also need root. So that would be more steps.
So my advice is to first skip the steps of changing CID and MID. Just go to the steps of flashing the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. If the firmware fails due to wrong MID, it will tell you that via an error message; and we can tackle that issue if it comes up. But if it works on the current MID, then we've saved some steps.
Best (most accurate) way to determine the current MID, is to do command: fastboot getvar all
Then post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
This will also give us a lot more useful info on the device.
You'll need to use fastboot anyway (for the guide you linked), if you don't already know how. So you may as well figure it out now. The command should also work with the htc fastboot given in the thread you linked, but would be: htc_fastboot getvar all

Good to go with 6.12.1540.4 flashing from the guide you linked
Flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode then reboot to bootloader make sure the new os number is 6.12.1540.4 then proceed to flash the RUU.exe
Good luck

although it showed me my serial number when typed adb devices. it ran fine.

You need to use the htc_fastboot to flash the RUU, as indicated in the guide you linked (and required files downloaded from there as well). The "generic" Android fastboot can't handle files that big.
Although, you should drop the ".exe" (indicated in the guide) from all the fastboot commands. I've never seen ".exe" included on fastboot and adb commands, and it will probably cause you an error like it did when flashing firmware. So the command should be:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Yes, that is fine. Which is why I told you to do it. If anything else needed to be done, I would have indicated that.
RUU doesn't need to be installed in sequence, meaning you can skip a version(s). RUU is different from OTA, as OTA typically does need to be installed in sequence.
With s-off, you can even go backwards with RUU. Which is also something you can't do with OTA.

while flashing firmware , it first said 'failed' and then automatically came with 'finished and time' .
When i went to ruu .. i first used htc_command .. but it said that ' this command is not in internal and external blaa blaa'. So i went without htc_ and got stuck and waited about half hour for that. Then , knowing nothing i did factory reset with wipe cache to restore my phone back to 4.16.1540.8.
Are there any pre-requisites that phone shold be unlocked and rooted (as i saw some videos on youtube)?
My phone is s-off, bootloader locked and no root access.

If it gave a message about "flush image immediately" this just means you need to flash the firmware again (needing to flash 2 times is normal and expected).
If the firmware installed correctly, you will see OS 6.12.1540.4 on the bootloader screen, and also see 6.12.1540.4 for "version-main" if you do fastboot getvar all.
You must have 6.12.1540.4 firmware properly installed, in order to flash the RUU.

You are getting that message, since you are not executing the command from the folder where htc_fastboot.exe is located. After you download htc_fastboot from the thread you linked, open Command Prompt in the folder (Left Shift + Right Mouse Click) and run the commands.
Leaving off the "htc" means you are trying to use the "generic" fastboot tool (fastboot.exe). Which would also confirm the fact you are probably running the command from the wrong folder. Again, using the regular fastboot will never work, since it can't handle the file size of the RUU.

You mean prerequisites for the RUU? If so, saying bootloader unlocked and rooted are prerequisites is false and incorrect. If you saw it on a YouTube, you are confusing RUU with something else.
Bootloader locked is normally (s-on) a requirement for RUU. But since you are s-off, it will run with the bootloader unlocked, locked or relocked.
Root has no effect on RUU. RUU will run, whether the phone is rooted or not.

What exactly are you trying to "restore" or accomplish with this? It's not clear you have even installed anything past 4.16.1540.8, to begin with.

Finally did it successfully!

If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Basically, Sprint (and most US carrier versions of the M8) won't update if not connected to that actual US carrier (Sprint, in your case). Also, you can NOT "modify" the Sprint version to make it another version (such as Euro), and the reason for that is that the Sprint version you will radio brick the device doing this! So don't try it!
You can update using the RUU meant for the Sprint M8 (and only the RUU meant for the Sprint M8, for the reason mentioned above). Whether you need to update or not (by RUU) depends on what it says in the getvar info I asked for above.

Stop making it very difficult with fastboot commands, not needed at all. And stop texting all RUU files, totally a waste of time. You need the RUU with the NUMBER that is WRITTEN next to OS in the DOWNLOAD mode. Stop doing all sorts of stuff that is totally irrelevant. If the RUU.zip from here doesn't work you do something wrong.
If your OS line is 2.41.401.x you download that RUU and do as i wrote in the first lines of this post.
You try all different sorts of RUU's so that indicates to me that you didn't bother to check out your download mode

Generally i get what i want.
Sorry for shi* post, but sometimes i just dont get it.
