[Q]Installed Google Play Edition from RUU, now stuck at Fastboot?

Hi,
So after fighting for hours, I managed to successfully use fastboot flash zip command to RUU the google play edition rom to my phone. However, the tutorial I followed didn't say I needed to match my CID and MID, so now I am stuck at the GPE fastboot bootloader. I can flash a custom recovery (I put TWRP on after the RUU was finished). However, since my phone is stuck at fastboot, I can't transfer any files to it using adb.
What I have: Fastboot, and TWRP recovery. Booting normally brings up Fastboot. Booting to recovery brings up TWRP.
My goal: Change my CID and MID so I can properly RUU the GPE rom to my phone. I think I can change the CID from fastboot but I don't think I can change MID from there.
What do you think? Am I going in the right direction? Did I make a wrong assumption?

In fastboot, you should be able to change you CID running this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001
If your MID doesn't start with 0P6B, you need to open the RUU file with a zip explorer program and modify the android-info.txt file inside and add your MID to the list. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

Well I changed my CID and MID according to the thread (I edited the android-info.txt). However when I ran fastboot flash zip it failed with
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Any ideas? It worked before, which confuses me as to why it's not working now.
EDIT: Nevermind I am an idiot. FAILED (remote: not allowed) means you need to reboot into RUU mode by using fastboot oem rebootRUU. However now I am back to where I started.
I successfully RUUed the Google Play rom, but now my phone only boots to the bootloader and fastboot.

I'm confused by flashing the RUU, if you have an ext SD card you can copy the image there rename it, boot and it will install itself. There is a rooted image available in the Android Development forum by GrafxNYC. I followed his instructions there and it worked perfectly.

Assuming the RUU file is not an exe file, move it to your SD card and rename it to match your MID exactly and reboot into bootloader. It should flash without a problem.

Ive been wrestling with this since last Saturday but I've finally got the GPE rom working. I couldn't tell you what I did, because I've gotten sidetracked and backtracked a bazillion times. I need to make a new thread though, the GPE rom is *extremely* unstable and crashes very frequently

Help restoring to stock

Hi I need some help returning to stock with a RUU.
My phone is currently S-off, rooted, twrp and supercid. I am trying to return to stock (keeping s-off and supercid). From reading posts it seemed like a simple task but I cant get it to work. I have tried two different RUU's. I have tried putting a RUU on my extsd and renamed it to 0PJAIMG.zip but nothing happens in download and it actually says SD NOT MOUNTED down the bottom left.
The other method I have tried is through ADB using these commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.ZIP
fastboot oem rebootRUU puts it into a screen with the htc logo
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.ZIP gives me the following message
C:\platform-toolsM9>fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.ZIP

Stock RUU
Hi, I recently unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Since then I have done a backup and installed Android Revolution rom. No my phone continuously turns off and restarts.
I really want to return to stock but can only find limited information. I have a TWRP backup of the stock ROM but when I try to flash it in recovery I get "cannot restore system--mounted read only" Apparently the backup has to be flashed with fastboot however the instructions are a bit dodgy at the android soul
I have the backup copied onto C drive yet it's not in "system.emmc.win format" its " 2015-06-09--04-46-13_LRX22G_release-keys". This folder of course has a few files in it, such as
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.winooo.md5
I tried looking for the right RUU but couldn't find any for Australia let alone Vodafone Australia. Can I use the UK one?
If anyone has any ideas or advice I'd be most grateful.
I'm really disappointed in how difficult this phone is to root/unlock and restore. I hate it. I hate HTC.

There's one for vodafone australia on Androidruu it's 1.32.710.16. It's actually really easy to return to stock once you know how. Have a look in other threads and use the sd card method. Just make sure its formatted the correct way.

Please don't blame HTC for your failure to read. You're describing a well-known conflict that results from running a 1.40 Rom on top of 1.32 firmware. There is a simple solution: Flash a 1.32 kernel or update your firmware.
And I don't understand your complaints about this being a difficult phone to mod. Compared to anything but a Nexus, it's a piece of cake.

Thanks for your help not....I don't understand why you're a condescending prick. Don't worry, I flashed another rom and all is good. Personally I found the galaxy S2 and S4 a lot easier than this. I thought this was a forum for help....if this is your idea of help, don't bother in future.

Well, I was a condescending prick, but this is also a common problem. If you try to run the latest ARHD over 1.32 firmware, you will get random reboots because there is a conflict between the old firmware and 1.40 kernels.

If you use sd card method the card needs to formatted to fat32 and make sure the file name has .zip at the end. If your using the adb method download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891970 and put it in your adb folder. Use htc_fastboot as the command instead of fastboot to flash the file.

Somebody can Help me to come back from developer edition to Europe edition?

[Q] Can't flash RUU firmware htc one m9

Hey guys, so I tried to flash RUU Firmware on my htc one m9. I downloaded the firmware, minimal adb flashboot, and htc sync manager. Problem is when I open command prompt via minimal adb flashboot and I type 'adb reboot downloader' it says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Am I missing something here? What should I do?

any chance you run a virtual android, genymotion or something of the like? And I would like to think aside from the drivers for HTC, the sync manager is best tucked safely away in the garbage

if you boot to bootloader, should be up top there. from a booted phone just 'adb reboot bootloader' if it says s-on thats your problem. My guess is since you do not know your s-on/off you are probably s-on.

No it says:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** Unlocked ***
*** S-ON ***

so this is your problem, S-ON is the last piece of security for you. Without S-OFF you are unable to flash RUU the way your are attempting.
There is an app, Sunshine. Cost 25$ I am pretty sure and that will get you s-off. or you can wait until your carrier pushes the OTA and do a "Back To Stock" method. Well the app is free, it runs a check and makes sure it can get s-off. then it wants money.

Okay hold on, I remember when I rooted my phone it was S-Off. So to get it back to original factory version I need to S-on it?

No not at all, S-OFF makes it easier to get back to stock. If you were S-OFF at some point I am not too sure why the bootloader is reporting S-ON now. I am cheap and I revert to stock to get my OTAs to get the latest roms.. this is a huge pain. S-OFF is ideal once you have it you should keep it.

@kamocheng: Since I don't have much time at the moment I'm keeping it short:
1. Your zip is corrupted (look at the output). Re-download it and compare the MD5 checksums.
2. If you're s-on you need to be relocked for running RUUs.
3. You never mentioned your firmware version nor your CID so no one can verify whether you use the correct RUU.
4. There is no free version of sunshine since its a free app with in-app purchasement. But there is no need to s-off if you use the correct RUU.

Make sure htc sync isn't running on your computer.

Hello there, thanks for replying my thread
1. I'm sorry I dont quiet understand, do you mean zip in my PC or zip in my phone?
2. My firmware version is 1.32.617.30, how do i check my CID?
Correct me if I'm wrong but there are 2 options for me to return to original stock? First, S-off my phone and flash RUU firmware? Second, relocked my phone then run original stock? Since I didnt backup my original stock, I need to find untouched one?
Sorry this is my first android phone so if I'm total noob, I'm so sorry

What if i unrooted then relocked my phone, will i be able to take OTA then?

I'm talking about the zip you tried to flash in post 3. If you are using firefox as a browser I would recommend using an addon like DownThemAll! to verifiy the md5 checksum after the download has finished. Files can get corrupted during a download.
No, its one and the same way. You run the RUU either way. The only difference is that you can flash any firmware version with s-off and you don't need to relock while the versions you can flash with s-on have to match your current version (that means same version or newer) and your CID. Firmware versions with x.xx.617.xx are the developers editions if I'm not mistaking. (As far as I know AndroidRUU doesn't have any corresponding files. So I assume you downloaded it from clsA's personal collection of developer edition files since google didn't find any other sources for these files.) As said before redownload the file and compare the downloaded file's checksum with the one mentioned next to the download link (428582cef691c2e37053a0e19e9d738e). If they match the file should be flashable.
I prefer flashing RUUs using the sd-card method instead of fastboot so here are some instructions how I would continue:
Be sure to backup everything important like contacts, sms, etc. (I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for this step)
Get a SD-card that is not bigger than 32 gb and formatted to fat32 (I've always been using the formatting function of the m9 for this step).
Rename the RUU to "0PJAIMG.zip".
Copy that file into the root direction of your SD-card.
Relock your bootloader.
Put the card back into your phone.
Be sure that your phone is charged enough (more than 50 %).
Boot into download mode.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Wait some minutes.
Done.

Correct.
Edit: I just saw that you asked more or less the same question twice. jollywhitefoot's solution works the same way as the one I described. The only difference is that you are using fastboot instead of a sd-card.

Soft Bricked HTC One M9! Please help!

Dear all,
I recently unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed CandySix ROM on my M9. Everything was fine until I stupidily relock the bootloader (using fastboot oem lock). Then the phone can not boot into system and recovery also.
I tried to re-unlock again using the same method (Unlock_code.bin) from HTCdev. The cmd said success, i press Yes on the phone, however after reboot the status stayed the same "Relock". I did like 20 times but it was the same.
I also tried to flash many RUUs that i found but no hopes (maybe i didnt find the right one).
Now the phone stuck at download mode and bootloader mode, can't do anthing else.
Can anyone helps me how to fix this or to find the right RUU for my phone please? Many thanks.

I think you need a new unlock token as when you relocked your bootloader it will need to generate a new one. Follow the unlock bootloader process from the beginning to see if you can unlock it again and go from there. Good luck.

Any other suggestions please!!

You can't flash RUUs with fastboot anymore since the M9. They became too big and the normal fastboot isn't able to handle them anymore. Either you use the SD card method which is described in my sheet or you look for htc_fastboot.
As a sidenote: You are aware that RUUs are encrypted and therefore can't get opened the way you normally open archives, aren't you? Winrar isn't able to do so at all and 7-zip has to use "right-click > open > #". Nevertheless you won't have any benefit from opening it.

After doing some stuff i didn't remember, the phone is now Unlocked. I can be able to flash a TWRP 3.0.0 and flash a CandySix ROM. All the process was smooth. The phone can boot normally now. Thank you guys.
However, there is no Sense on CandySix ROM. I really want to upgrade to another ROM with Sense but i can't due to my current firmware. I dont know how to upgrade the firmware for that. I can't make my S-off using Sunshine also. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks.

Did you try the SD card method I described in my google sheet? Or did you download the needed htc_fastboot files if you prefer the command line? I had no problems with flashing the 2.10.710.5 RUU when I created my backups for the SKU 710.
Or did you try to use the TWRP backup guide in my sheet?
Otherwise if you're willing to pay around 20 bucks you could use llabtoofer's RUU service. Either google or use the link in my spreadsheet.

Thanks I have contacted llabtoofer for help. So afraid to do myself. Have been wasted tons of time for this but still not have any luck. Anyway thank you for your help. My phone is now usable, i used the htc_flashboot method to unstuck it.

HTC one m9 flash RUU help
iHave a Sprint HTC One M9 currently stuck in boot loop displaying
"This build is for
development purposes only
Do not distribute outside of HTC
without HTC's written permission.
Failure to comply may
lead to legal action."
I'm not sure of the CID nor firmware version(i'm sure it was the latest 3.41.651.4.) iForgot to backup my device before rooting(stupid iKnow.) I've already found the RUU for 3.41.651.4 it's saved to my SD card. iCan still reach bootloader, recovery&download mode, should iJust enter recovery&flash the RUU? iAlso have S-ON. iWould like to relock the bootloader&start the root process anew. iUsed TWRP 3.0.2 as well as Super SU 2.76 during my first initial attempt. I've already tried to lock the device once but when iType adb devices into the command window no device is displayed.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone help?

get firmware matched to your targeted RUU from this thread

@ergolau i'm not S-OFF
First lines from post
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
This is for GSM PHONES which have been set S-OFF - no CDMA (Sprint & Verizon) here! S-ON people: Please refer to HTC RUU methods or "Stock Backup and OTA" method. (not provided here).

This same RUU wont flash via RUU mode Fastboot... #HEADER_ERROR

Remake the zip to 2PS6IMG.zip and copy of te the sdcard, boot to download mode and it wil be recognized. Flash it......
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.
I know that the stock roms have a os versions and phone only accept only specific one.
But sometimes like today my sdcard just trick me so hard ;d and i just trying a different method like fastboot oem rebootRUU + fastboot flash zip zipname.zip, thats all.
Thanks for your time @Mr Hofs and @santod040 (Your rom on M7 GPE
is one of the better ones) .

"generally i get what i want" .....jeeeze that comment made me crinch for a moment. Actually the lack of proper reading our posts had you downloading all sorts of RUU files which were unnecessary. It's not your sdcard that tricked you it's your unfocused mind.
Cheers

Flash this using SD card method.
Do NOT relock bootloader or return to s-on.
