Is your phone really S-OFF? (If I look at those errors I guess not.)

Sorry brother >> what do you mean by S-off ?! ?

That was the answer I expected to get...
By unlocking the bootloader you only gain control over 3 partitions: Recovery, System and Bootloader. If you want to flash firmware packs which are not officially signed by HTC (like the 3.35.401.12 one) you need to unlock the rest of the phone beforehand. Otherwise the phone's security mechanisms will prevent you from flashing those files. (In other words the Security is ON.) That's why you need to set them OFF (S-OFF). Either you get the Sunshine app or you find someone with a java card.
Oh and changing the firmware to other versions (as you tried from whichever version you got to the developer edition) isn't possible with S-ON, either.

Thank you so much bro ,,,
I will try ?

yes bro , done
every things work now :good:
thanks alot

wracking my brain , bricked to hell

So iv manged to delete my os and recovery , the only progress I can make is flashing twrp 2.8.5.0 and that's all.
I looked through so many threads its not even funny , tried so many different files older and newer version of firmware just to see if i get an error to point me in the right direction.

I've been using this thread to get my stock files http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698
No one else seems to be having problems like this
errors iv come across are.
remote 19
remote -2 ,19: failed to flash via download zip
iv tried using the sd card way and fastboot way
the sd card way has become a problem now since my pc wont let my copy files to it ""This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
fastboot method seems to be the only way to get a response from the device or anything to work.
any help what so ever will be greatly appreciated since iv been trying to fix this for the past 5 days to no avail .

May I suggest you edit your original post to delete your IMEI? We don't need it to troubleshoot and it could be abused.
From the information you've given, it looks like your phone is a Europe WWE-based phone on the Optus Australia carrier network. Your OS version indicates that you're on the Lollipop firmware (2.9.710.4).
Windows driver issues are best solved by installed HTC's Sync Manager (link below). Alternatively, you could pull the sd card from the phone and copy files directly onto it - this may be the simplest way to avoid driver issues.
Since you can install (and access?) TWRP, probably the easiest thing to do will be to flash a compatible ROM. As you are on the Lollipop firmware, you can't flash any of the Marshmallow ROMs. Doing so will result in an endless boot or bootloop.
If you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you could use the sd card method to install the latest RUU. Flippy498's Google Sheet (link below) has a guide & the files necessary to do this.
peace,

I can't help you with flashing via fastboot - perhaps others can.
On the flip side, you could use the sd card method outlined in Flippy498's Google Sheet. That should get you set.

Are you trying to downgrade with S-ON? That's not possible. S-ON phones can only use RUUs which have the same firmware version or a higher one. Besides you could flash the TWRP 2.x version I linked in my sheet and restore the 2.9.710.4 backup with my instructions to solve your "no system" problem. The TWRP version you mentioned in your first post is outdated and with the currently installed firmware you can't use TWRP 3.x since it requests the marshmallow firmware.

Proper Pickle with M9

Hi hoping someone can help me - I've just wasted two days trying to get my phone to work again, but right now, it only goes to the bootloader.
I have HTC One M9, with S-ON, rooted, with TWRP bootloader installed. I can not get any ROMs to install at all - actually, they do install, just don't boot. I believe this is because I don't have the correct firmware version installed. I can't get any firmware to install. When trying to update firmware, I get;-
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware_M9.ziptarget reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
sending 'zip' (61607 KB)...

(bootloader) ERR ZIP signature checking failed...

I think this is because of the S-ON.
Can someone please help me, otherwise I'm going to have to throw this thing in the bin, and buy a new phone?
Thanks, Seth

My carrier is Videotron (canada) but my CID is not the good one and it is S-OFF. If you have any idea please let me know. Thanks

What's the current firmware of your phone? (Boot to download mode and look at the line with OS at the beginning for finding out.) What's the original naming of the RUU you tried to flash before you renamed it? What's your current CID? (It's either stated in download mode or you need to use "fastboot getvar cid".)

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.
