Fashing splash firmware : 1.54.401.5 with stock rom but the phone always stuck on bootloader
Then i try 1.54.401.10 , 4.16.401.5 , 4.16.401.10 and last 2.22.401.4 with there rom stock and sotck recovery but nothing change, always stuck on bootloader.
NB : i'm in super CID
I have try :
1) wirecid : supercid or HTC__001 or HTC__J15 etc...
2) Flashing firmware 1.54.401.5, 1.54.401.10, 4.16.401.5, 4.16.401.10, 2.22.401.4
3) flashing custom recovery twrp
4) format data and changing partition cache because it's always corruped after flashing new firmware
5) install rom stock with there firmware :

I have do this with all firmware and rom
I have try to install with ruu.exe but the application have error 155, i have change the cid and mid to match with in the androidinfo.txt.
!!! But boot with custom like CM12, Carbon rom etc... the only problem is that the simcard is not detected.
If anyone have other solution ?

Your device is a Sprint .. you shouldn't convert it to any Intl GSM/GPE. You shouldn't change its MID.
Not sure whether this is still fixable because on Verizon I know, this conversion will kill the radio.
Change back your MID to 0P6B70000
and get the correct firmware and RUU here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Anything you're not sure, ask in that thread or in Sprint Q&A

Hold Power + Volume Up for at-least 20secs and when screen turns black, release the buttons and hold Volume Down until you enter bootloader... which is mainly couple of seconds.

The OP is already in bootloader, and stuck there.

CID Numbers (Sprint only):
SPCS_001: standard Sprint M8
SPCS_004: Harman/Kardon version M8
I would try to rewrite the correct cid--> Update Hboot to 3.19-->Relock Bootloader-->Flash latest Ruu

Tho latest Ruu should already contain the 3.19 Hboot

In addition to your comment, that hboot does not need to be updated before RUU (RUU will do it):
1) Need to change MID back to Sprint MID to RUU
2) Shouldn't need to change CID, but it doesn't hurt to do so.
3) No need to relock bootloader to RUU, since OP is s-off.
But I agree, the OP should try to RUU back to Sprint stock image. (and obviously take the actions to meet the requirements to do so). After that, if is still doesn't work its probably a radio brick.

Error 155 is usually fixed by relocking Bootloader. Since the phone is in a funny state I would advise putting all chances on your side. Dont worry if the logic says S-off doesnt need BL relocked , you just need every chance to flash Stock ruu back to the phone

Thanks, i will try it...
So, if it's work i can unlock the phone to use another operator ?

Boot Loader Loop, Unlocked, S-Off, Rooted HTC M8 Tmobile
A year ago I believe I used HBoot and or Firewater to root my M8. I recently removed some applications that seemed to make my phone act funny, and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, or rather just a boot and stop at the second HTC "One" screen. Not exactly a loop.
I've download ADB tool and tried the fastboot method to install TWRP but have no success because the computer does not recognize the phone while running ADB or Fastboot, therefore I cant install TWRP and am stuck in the bootloader menu. I have tried various different cables and restarted the pc several times, and installed htc sync and other drivers necessary for that process. Also uninstalled and installed different drivers later as well. Now im not sure what i have installed but I have access to the phones internal drive via explorer.
Using Hboot.

Recovery leads to nothing and eventually returns to the HTC One menu stop.
Reset does nothing, acts like fast boot actually.
Ramdump under fastboot seems to works, and does produce log files.
While the phone was still active, I managed to create a full "manual" backup of the device by plugging it in and backing up/copying the entire internal memory. After screwing with the phone and every option for several hours I managed to access the files of the internal memory by switching to recovery mode via the boot menu and then plugging in the phone via usb to comp while deleting the drivers at the same time. I tried a full restoration of the internal backup i made, by copy and replace if the same method, but still nothing.
Ive attached an image of the Hboot menu with the details and options of that Hboot for those of you familiar with hboot.
The ideal situation, or what i'd like to do is restore the phone without flashing the rom and loosing the information, then id like to upgrade to lollipop or a new custom rom I found here actually, but the first step is getting back into the phone which i would be very grateful for in general.
also, not great with cmd and all that stuff, I do have sdk tools downloaded and installed but not great with that either. If there was a more simple way to replace existing files in the phone via the file manager (because im able to access the internal drive via the file manager, that would be the most ideal and easiest situation. But knowing the path and the boot files and which files are necessary for boot is what im looking for as well.
Also i know how to flash a sd and htc has a sdcard slot as well. Also i should mention that prior to the phone being screwed up I did want to delete some internal certificates because i believe someone installed a spy application on the phone, hence the reason for all of this checkup and removal anyway. In the process of trying to do that, i followed a tutorial on this forum which suggested I create a security lock pin, which I did. This could also be the cause of the problem not being recognized by the adb or fastboot script.
Who ever helps me do that gets a tip.
Please help.

[Q] Help Needed

Hi guys,
i seemed to have bricked my phone because all i can do is boot into bootloader, download mode, recovery mode. it has stock recovery and relocked bootloader.
i want it boot into android anyway possible stock or not. I can provide anydetails required about my phone. I have tried several RUUs and 0PJAIMG.zip files but nothing seems to be working.
For RUUs i get the error "Please get the correct Rom Update Utility and try again" and for 0PJAIMG.zip files my phone says "SD CARD NOT MOUNTED" in download mode. Please help me revive my phone and sorry for a long.
Thanks in Advance.
Edit: Even if anyone can link me to a x.xx.425.xx ruu, that would be great.

I assume your phone is S-ON. You can't downgrade or flash RUUs for different SKUs than 425.
The problem: There are only RUUs for firmware 1.34.425.7 and 1.34.425.8. So unless you don't have S-OFF you can't use them.

how can i get s-off when my phone won't go past the bootloader?
can you provide me with the links to x.xx.425.x RUUs?

Did you try re-unlocking via HTCdev? The M9 has some security checks which prevent the phone from booting if the bootloader is locked/relocked and the phone is not completely stock. If that doesn't help you may need to look for someone with a java card.
For answering your second question I'm qoting myself from another thread:

ir-file.com
But you need to pay if you want to download files from that site. Since I know someone who has an account I may be able to get one of the RUUs for you. (Can't guarantee anything.)

As far as I know the 1.34.425.7 RUU is getting uploaded on AFH at the moment. But as said before you won't be able to use it without S-OFF.

I can't re-unlock my phone i tried like 3 times already.
That would be great if you could upload the file and link it here...

There you go (thanks to Handy-FAQ.de). But as said before it's useless if you don't have S-OFF.
Edit: I guess the option OEM Unlock (located in developer options) hasn't been activated before you relocked the bootloader, am I right? That's why you can't re-unlock. But you could still look for someone who owns a java card to get S-OFF, use the RUU service on Llabtoofer's website or hope that someone creates and uploads a TWRP backup that contains an untouched system image, the boot image and the stock recovery of your currently installed firmware.

HTC One M8 bootloop after RUU

Hi, I just got HTC One M8 stuck on black HTC logo with four triangles. To solve this I flashed official RUU but phone was still on bootloop. Now It's on white htc screen, I can boot recovery and bootloader. Flashed firmware and RUU - nothing changes.

Could it be hardware issue? Thanks in advance!

What RUU did you flash (full file name) and did it run to completion, and were there any error messages?

I flashed RUU : 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4 _Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_4 64360_signed.zip
There was no errors, only FAIL90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately. Please help me to find solution. Thanks in advance!

This is common, and means you should flash the RUU again (pretty sure its supposed to say "flash image again immediately" - even though it says "flush"). Did you try to do so?

After that error it flashes image again by itself. After 8-10 min it says that everything is ok. Then i restart and get same bootloop. Maybe I'm using wrong RUU? My HTC is European version

It should be the right RUU. You're using htc_fastboot to flash? Maybe try downloading the RUU again, and flash again.

I flashed with htc_fastboot and used image from : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057. Tried two times, same results. Don't know what to do next.

How exactly did this happen, where you doing something at the time? Was there any significant type of update to the phone recently? Or you just picked up the phone and it was stuck this way?

I bought it with the note that motherboard is faulty. But I thought that It's only bricked somehow. Previous owner said that he saw an error and phone shut down itself. No water damage or etc. Maybe really It is faulty logic board?

Its the correct RUU, and I don't see any other reason why the RUU wouldn't work. Correct RUU not getting a stock device to run is a good indication that its a hardware failure. Especially since it seems the previous owner was just using the phone (assuming no recent updates or other major changes), and it shut down, and hasn't worked since; again that to me would point to hardware failure.
If you've got nothing to lose, you can try to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash a ROM, and see if the condition improves at all. But my guess would be no.

How to unlock bootloader with developer options disabled? I tried to do it but it still shows that bootloader is locked. I used htcdev webpage. Any other solutions?

You don't need developer's options (debugging) enabled to unlock the bootloader. Its done by fastboot, which doesn't require debugging.
If you went through the full process at HTCDev.com with obtaining an unlock bin token, and flashed the token with fastboot per the instructions, and its still locked; then its another indication that you are looking at a hardware failure (like bad emmc).

HTC M8S VODA firmware

Somebody can link me a Vodafone UK firmware zip, I have to flash it in RUU mode in order to make my phone working again.
Thank you in advance

I can't help much as I don't have a M8s

Yeah, checked multiple times, but I didn't find any proper files according to my problem. I mean , I've got the RUU files there, but I have to flash through ruu only the firmware zip because I've relocked the bootloader, and since I have wrong recovery flashed (simple M8 recovery) can't do anything else. I think this is the only solution.
Btw thanks for replying.

I don't get it ...
If there is RUU for your device version, use the RUU to fix the problem.
You don't need firmware.zip when there is RUU available (when you install the same version as your current firmware written on bootloader)

I need the firmware cause the RUU for my HTC doesn't works, it starts flashing the file but shuts down with an error ... Sorry for not mentioning that . Flashing the firmware I think the only solution for me :/

Hi GombaFelho,
I had the same problem, always the wrong firmware error message.
I unlocked and did again an "oem lock". Check again the drivers for RUU.
In end it worked for me with the ARUWizard.exe and this version:
RUU_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_Vodafone_UK_1.11.161.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1G50408_15.00_016_F_release_430447_signed
First there is a downgrade and after that you can uprade the software on the fly.

Hi ! Thanks for the answer
I tried that one too, but some magical way my update stuck at 0/8 so idk what should I do ..
I've read somewhere a solution for this, but can't remembere where

When you have that stuck problem, that's pc usb connection problem not RUU.
You need latest htc usb drivers and use usb2.0

Unfortunately neither firmware nor RUU available on the net for this version.
When you said you wait for it to load up .. are you saying your device is in working condition, only wrong recovery installed ?

I shouldn't wait for anything , right ? I mean it's not that new phone, so I assume there aren't going to be a new firmware for this version...
It was in a working condition, but after I relocked the bootloader, it went off. Had to start with the Pow+Vol.Up+Vol.Down combo, it worked but now just stops at the HTC ONE screen...
Anyways I really appreciate that you took the time to help me

I was wondering if there is some way to unlock the bootloader without using the HTCDev ? (cause I can't factory reset my phone) that would be so good...

I have an M8s too, and had the same issue.
To fix this. First try to relock and unlock the your bootloader it will prompt yes or no bla bla... Tick yes
If none of this work. Install the latest recovery from lalleman's server and pick a custom ROM, I recommend CM12 since you don't a choice cause Pandora is a little buggy.
This should work for you. Good luck with that

Help, my Htc one m9 is bricked from relocking the bootloader.

Hi, I am new on this forum.
I have a problem with my M9. About a year ago, I installed TWRP recovery and rooted android 6.0. Since then I hadn't made any changes to my phone. Once android nougat came out, i couldn't update it with ota update so i decided to return to stock recovery. I flashed the recovery and everything worked fine. I decided to update it with a RUU as the safest bet, and i read somewhere that you need to relock the bootloader. I relocked it and everything seemed fine, it was relocked in bootloader mode but now I can't boot to recovery mode and cannot boot the phone. I can access download mode and bootloader mode. I also can't update it with the ruu because I get signature error 132. I also can't unlock the bootloader, everything goes fine and at the end it still says "relocked". My cid is htc_032 european. What should I do now?

You shouldn't have relocked it... As far as I know, relocking the m9 is not required... Try searching for solutions or wait for someone with more knowledge regarding your situation...

What RUU are you using?
Also, I recommend editing your post to remove your IMEI.

Thanks for the tip about IMEI.
I tried the developer ruu version from the HTC website but i saw that it isn't compatible. I can't find a ruu for my phone that is compatible. I only found zips, but i have no clue how to use them. I know how to flash them, but my bootloader won't unlock. Do you have any idea how to proceed?
