You have the developer edition? What is your CID? Your command output only says firmware.zip, so What EXACTLY are you trying to flash? Are you s-off?

Did you rename the file? Because if this is the command you used
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
that's your problem. It should be fastboot flash zip [name of the firmware file]

Is the file in the same directory as fastboot and adb?
Might also be a bad download. Redownload it and this time use the exact filename. Don't rename it.

Try using htc_fastboot. Sometimes the sdk fastboot can't handle RUUs because they're too big.

Edit: you need to change the command to htc_fastboot flash zip

Use it exactly like fastboot. It's the same file, just tweaked by HTC. Commands are all the same except its "htc_fastboot" instead of just "fastboot".

Glad you got it working. Sorry I wasn't responsive. For some reason xda isn't sending me emails when I get quoted right now, so I just noticed that you replied to my message.

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

Find a RUU that matches your cid number, and you'll get M
Skickat från min HTC One M9 via Tapatalk

Any .401 RUU should work. There is a thread in the General forum with all the links you need.

You cannot install unsigned zips without s-off. You are best going s-off for $25 rather than mess with back to stock.
Have a read through flippy's thread in the general section. All the instructions you need are there.
Beamed in by telepathy.

it's nice but i don't want to pay for something. there must be way to flash stock with s-on. or not?

You just need to flash the official file for your CID/MID. That will work. The files are in Flippy's thread.

that's what end with error code 22...

If the signature check is failing, you have the wrong file, or a corrupted download. Double check your CID and MID, and then check the MD5 of whatever you download.

done flashed full signed zip

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)...
OKAY [ 5.419s]

(bootloader) ERR ZIP ERROR, exit read zip loop
(bootloader) ERR ZIP signature checking failed...
(bootloader) Update zip file OK
(bootloader) ERR ZIP ERROR CODE, 19

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

M9 Nougat Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I come from MaximusHD and I'm very eager to install the new stock rom, BUT:
No matter if I download the extracted zip or extract it my self from RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.14.617.6.exe, both my M9 and my W10 box insists that the zip-file is corrupt. I'm not able to copy the file to my device, and if i fastboot it I get this error:

Unfortunately GSM does not work after firmware update :crying:

THE FOLLOWING WILL WIPE ALL PHONE DATA INCLUDING THINGS ON INTERNAL SD CARD
I downloaded the ota and then the ruu , installed stock recovery and put cid and mid of developer edition.
I pulled out the firmware from the ota , flashed it .
Then i used the ruu normally , and it worked without any problem.
That's how i got it to work coming from custom rom.
