Soft bricked after updating phone - Nand fail or software? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I came across an issue with a bricked M9 and wanted to check if this indication of a nand failure, or would flashing an official RUU solve it? The issue is said to have happened with an auto shutdown after software update. Its now stuck in bootloader showing the following:
*** Software status: Official ***
*** LOCKED ***
*** S-ON ***
*** Security Warning ***
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
REBOOT
REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE
POWER DOWN
Thanks in advance!

It actually looks like the dead nand issue.
As long as you're able to enter the Download Mode you can try to fix the phone with a RUU. However, I wouldn't put my hopes too high if I were you.

100% reset Desire 820

Hi,
Is there any way I can 100% reset my Desire 820? Locked bootloader, original firmware, reset everything? Can I send it in to HTC or do it manually? My phone says it has Android 6.0.1 update available but when I try to install the update it boots into bootloader and bootloader says, instead of "Fastboot", "!! Image Update FAIL !!".
It says the Software status is Modified and the Bootloader is relocked. Pressing "Reboot" boots back into Bootloader (in Fastboot), same with "Reboot Fastboot". Pressing "Factory Reset" does nothing; it boots back into Fastboot and doesn't actually reset. The only way to get it to launch is to take out the SD card, press "HBOOT", and then press "CHECK SMARTSD", which causes it to boot. The information at the top of my bootloader is as follows:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***

I used this tutorial to attempt to root my phone - however, I had unfortunately updated my phone to Android 5.0.1, and I think this is for a different variant of the Desire 820. Mine is the Australian Dual-Sim Desire 820.
I return to my original question - is there any way that I can reset this phone 100%? Currently, pressing Recovery does nothing - it puts it back into Fastboot, and pressing it again does nothing. This is with the SD card out. With the SD card in, it won't even launch into HBOOT; it gives me an error: "Device halted due to Large Image update failed! Press <POWER> to reboot.". Can someone help? I've been trying to fix this for months and months.

Large Image update failed! Press <POWER>.If you have modified recovery,you need to unlock the bootloader and install stock recovery then lock bootloader and flash the phone

Bricked One M9?

Hello,
I had CM 13 installed on my One M9. Yesterday I wanted to go back to stock ROM from HTC. I downloaded adb and fastboot and went to " fastboot oem lock" with cmd. This was part of a "tutorial" after this i wanted to run the RUU from HTC. But now the phone is stuck in the bootloader. I can go into bootloader or download mode but recovery mode is broken. "Failed to boot to revovery mode"....
From there I can only go back to bootloader or download mode.
In bootloader it shows:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** Relocked ***
*** S-ON***
In download mode it shows:
hTC download mode
*** RELOCKED ***

But the main problem is that i can't connect the M9 to my PC to use fastboot or the RUU... The phone will not be recognized. Strange thing is that it loads while connecting to PC but the LED is not orange, it stays black. When the phone is turned off the LED is turning on orange again and the phone is loading and shows it..
It seems that there is no OS installed anymore on the phone?
If it helps I have an SD card.
Please help me to get an OS running on this phone again!
Actual HTC drivers are installed. Tried on USB 3 and USB 2 Ports.

HTC One M8s starts fastboot and blocks ways to recover it

Hello everyone!
So. I have a HTC One M8s in my hands here. It was off for several months. I tried to start it and it fails. The only thing i get is the Fastboot. I can't even start Recovery or Factory Reset. I had other phones of this type in the past with a similar problem but it was possible to bring them back to life with ARUWizard (T-MOB101 mainver: 1.13.111.2). I had to do that in the past on this particular phone, too. I was able to unlock and relock it back in 2016. After using the ARUWizard it worked again for a while.
Here's what i see at the fastboot menu:
Code:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

FASTBOOT USB
I tried to unlock it again. I can start the unlock process with fastboot and the bin file. It restarts with the HTC logo and red warning text. After a few seconds it reboots with the normal HTC logo screen and goes back into the known fastboot menu. No change.
The ARUWizard doesnt work either. Usually it reboots the phone and start the process. In that case i see a different HTC logo with black background. But not now. When the ARUWizard reboots the phone it just goes back into the fastboot menu. Nothing happens.
How can i bring that phone back to life? I would be glad if you can help!
Greetings^^
If your phone can't boot in RUU mode(fastboot oem rebootRUU) you have a dead nand.

Tried Booting into recovery and selecting "wipe data and factory reset" but still the same problem.
Tried to fastboot boot .. but it says unknown command. I searched the web and found that I must first unlock bootloader (see this link)
But however my device is locked and I cannot even boot it to enable "Developer Mode" and "Enable OEM Unlock" options from settings.
Can you suggest what to do?
Do you have any updates?
