[Q] Stuck in bootloader with Security warning.

I have been rooted for a few weeks and decided to go back. Well I had S-off but when I started the transition to stock I turned s-on and that is when the **tampered** flag came on. I stupidly continued using the code (fastboot oem lock) which gave me the **Relocked** status but now I have a security warning and It will ONLY boot into bootloader. I have tried multiple times re-flashing TWRP and I cant get it to go into recovery. From what I have read I need to flash stock rom onto it but I cant get into the recovery to flash or even sideload. So where should I go from here? Everything I need to do requires S-off and I cant seem to get it.
*ALSO I am currently on InsertKoin ROM* <--That might change something
*HtcDev will not work for my phone.*

I've been S-Off since day one so double check everything but this will get you in the right direction. You need to S-off and unlock, flash an RUU and then relock (to remove the red text warning). Going back to S-on I understand is pretty dangerous and appears to be unnecessary. Go to this thread and start with the 3rd tutorial to re-S-off. If you can get S-off'd the rest should be pretty easy.

That should be early enough to use Firewater on. Let me know if you run into problems because I can help via team viewer.

@pmterp & @dottat Thanks for the reply and that sounds like a good idea but I have to push the file via adb. I cannot get there because I am stuck in the fastboot section. So I don't think firewater or anything that uses adb will work.

Crud. I don't remember if you can get to RUU mode without being S-off. In fastboot the command is fastboot OEM rebootRUU If you can then you could re-RUU but I'm thinking you have to be S-off to get there. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some better ideas.

You can go into ruu mode while s-on, but need a signed ruu. Last signed ruu we had was 2.x

I tried that command and it did do something different now. It is an all black screen with silver HTC however it is not doing anything.

That is RUU mode and will accept an RUU file to flash at this point. I believe Uzephi is correct that the RUU you flash must be signed (which I think is the same as encrypted). I'm not sure where you would find them but I'm sure Google will be your friend on that. Be careful what version you flash because I think it can cause problems if you move down. I'm not sure how open he is to helping via PM (he's super helpful but also very busy) but if it were me I'd reach out via PM to @santod040 and ask for advice. He's a highly skilled dev who's been with this device a long time.

I think I might be in the same boat as jman036, only difference being that I'm on a later OS version (5.28.605.2). I've tried flashing signed RUUs for my particular OS version from both santod's and dottat's AndroidFileHosts but both give me this error:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)"
Sucks man.

Yes. Will fail. You should try installing the latest HTC sync and seeing if the repair button lights up for you on the home page of the app.

If installed drivers are correct htc sync will see the phone. I just responded to your post in a different thread. Can you try that first before we troubleshoot drivers?

Fastboot oem rebootRUU mode is supported in both s on/off scenarios. An s on user can always use this to reflash same firmware or even upgrading to newer firmware. Bootloader unlocked phones often take advantage of this before s off exploits are found.

Well I made it one step further with it recognizing that I have a phone connected but said "no software available."
I think if I can find a signed RUU file then I can fix this. I just have to find it.....

[Q] Stuck in fastboot and no connections in ADB

Hello everyone.
Im new here and my english is not on the highest lvl, so pls be patient.
My problem with HTC Desire 816 is that I'm stuck in fastboot with no OS and S-ON, like below:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
A5_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.19.0.0000

OS-
eMMC-boot 1536MB
Nov 10 2014
I can't do anything on my phone (recovery, factory reset) cuz after hiting 'power' phone just reboot into bootloader again.
When i plug my phone via USB, windows 8.1 found my device and I have installed it as "Android Composite ADB Interface" and HTC Sync starts running (so it can see my phone).
But my biggest problem is now!
I have installed fastboot in version 1.0.31 and when my phone is pluged in and everything looks good, then commend "adb devices" nothing shows up.
My question is, how can I get my phone visible in adb ?
PS. I have installed cm12 and tried to get back to stock rom and recovery, but in one second in middle on the instalation, power in my house stops and everything just turned off.
And now I have this problem. It looks exactly the same when I had USB debugging turned off in cm12 .. computer and htc sync could see my phone, but adb couldn't.
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Jeremi

ADB commands won't work in fastboot. Try using fastboot commands : "fastboot devices" and see if it shows up.

From the screenshot you provided you are using the wrong command. To flash the recovery try this.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery_Stock.img"
Also the recovery_Stock.img file needs to be in your adbfastboot folder, and IIRC you need the bootloader unlocked to flash anything from fastboot.

That's a recovery file your trying to flash. You need an UNLOCKED bootloader to flash a recovery.img file.

Ok, topic can be closed. I have done this.
But now, doesn't matter which custom rom I would flash, every time the same annoying problem with screen. My screen/touch doesn't work properly. I will say more. I can't do anything! Everything is poping out in one second..

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.
I have one here - 3.28.401.9_recovery.img : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.401.9_recovery.img/download

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4
Sent from my HTC Desire 820 using XDA Free mobile app

M8 Bricked while updating to Marshmallow.

Hi,
The other day i've tried to update my M8 to marshmallow via OTA and my device get bricked . . .
It is stucked on Android Recovery, and have tried everything. Ruu's, factory reset . . . everything. Ruu always gives me back error 155.
Don't know what else to do. It is new, but I think the people that sold it to me have changed things like CID and it have S-OFF.
I'll post the "fastboot getvar all" command results:

I am having the same problem!! I installed the official update via the system update, installed then at the end it told me there is a problem with the OTA thing and that is it. Since then my device is bricked and I'm in between the recovery menu and the bootloader.
I don't wanna root my device and didn't try it. This sucks. I wish I can rollback this mess to Lollipop.

I had a similar issue, bricked my HTC ONE M8 by updating through OTA.
But I got it fixed by flashing RUU through htc_fastboot.exe, it took a while but was effective.
In your case, if you need to find your right CID, first get your mid number and check if you can find a right CID to your MID, then write it through fastboot. Hope it can help you.
If you will need a detailed how to, let me know

My CID is 11111111, it says so in the bootloader. Can you provide links on where to get the RUU and the flashing app? Thanks
The bootloader says LOCKED yet my device is the international variant. Is it related or does it mean that my bootloader is locked?

Hey, I've made a simple research and found that your serial number belongs to HTC ONE M8 Taiwan version, so first you need to change your MID to 0P6B150 (optional but strongly advised for applaying offical updates) and then the CID to CHT__601 (Taiwan).
Only after this you need to find the right RUU and flash it, or use RUU.zip and flash it through htc_fastboot.exe
Hope it will be helpfull

Send me your detailed phone information as it was shown in the first post of the thread so I can tell you how to change you CID and other identification numbers that in the end will let you apply the update
Having the original CID is very important, cuz your bootloader was relocked? otherwise they could've not changed you CID/
Check your serial information go to HTC Warranty Check - Lookup
this tell you right region information of your phone so you can easily find right CID and MID numbers of your phone

1 - see the links in the end of #7 post? Go there and first get the drivers and adb-fastboot tools
once you get try command fastboot getvar all this will show you the detailed information of your device
2 - once done get HTC ONE M8 all in one tool kit, it would be easier for you to use instead typing commands all the time
3 - unlock your bootloader by following the instructions on the program listed above
4 - search for right CID number of your phone and write it by using command fastboot oem writecid (YOUR CID)
5 - relock bootloader
6 - flash the right RUU (check if it is right for your original new CID)
Keep in mind that I've done this on my own devices, and I don't take any responsibility in case if you get your device bricked

You cannot simply flash the RUU .. the first question is .. is the RUU the right one for your device ?
You have SUperCID as you mentioned above .. what about the MID ?
Is it 0P6B10000 ? If yes .. then go ahead

You can't extract/unzip an encrypted HTC RUU zip.
You never reply to my first question .. is your bootloader LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED ?
If it is UNLOCKED .. I can suggest another method .. restore a TWRP backup.
If you have installed both adb/fastboot and latest HTC USB driver (and uninstall HTC Sync Manager) I don't see a reason why it cannot work for you when it worked for the other guy (post #14)
Do you have a microSD card ? You can do it different way.

Sorry, it is RELOCKED.
I'll try to do all from 0 again. If it does not work we can UNLOCK it and try the TWRP method you say?
Yes I do have an SD card in my phone, but my PC doesn't detect it and have no SD adapter. I've heard that there's some fastboot command "push" or something like that to put the RUU on it but don't know how it works.
Thanks for your time, I'm desperate. . .

You need to unlock bootloader to go with TWRP method.
Just try again ... with a Windows PC with USB2.0 (many people report USB3.0 is a hit and miss)
Make sure the HTC Sync manager is uninstalled after you install the driver.

Your recovery is corrupted, just download twrp from their official site and install it via ADB.I trust once you get a custom recovery working you know what to do next?

Ty for the reply.
Which custom recovery do i need from the cid i have... ?

Custom recovery won't do any good for you ...
Just read this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
then install 2.10.401.1 RUU ... that's for CID HTC__031 provided you not yet OTA to recent update 2.20.401.1

Ive Read that i must the phone me s-off. Is that true ? I tried that with some progams but nothing seems to work ...

Not true .. you don't need s-off. What you need is a LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader.
And the correct method.
Post fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no.) then we'll see which one that you need.

2. Rename the RUU zip to 0PKVIMG.zip and place it on the root of your microSD
3. Boot to bootloader select hboot, it will scan the 0PKVIMG.zip and ask you to update. Volume up to update ..let it done until it finished. Then reboot.
Note : You never say anything about your current bootloader. Is it LOCKED or UNLOCKED ? If it is UNLOCKED, you need to relock it first before you run the procedure. But I assume it is LOCKED as you don't know about custom recovery as in your post.

I can't access that site ... can't check the file.
Read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70051683&postcount=18 (it was the second link that I gave earlier)
Do you download from the correct folder - Firmware (Expert) -> Firmware Crypted (Original HTC)
Also check whether it's a zip in a zip .. if it is, you need to extract the RUU zip from the first zip (I remember this is the way they put the zip)

U were righ. It was zip.zip.
As it seems its fixed now !
Ty for the help and the time ! Wish u all the best.
