Trying to flash UK O2 HTC One M9 - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, My phone recently started playing up and it's out of warranty according to O2 because of a scratch on the screen.
The problem was settings would not open, with "Unfortunately settings has stopped". Next the same thing happened to the play store so I can't change any settings or install any apps. Great.
I tried a few suggestions online:
- Wiped cache in bootloader.
- Factory reset
Neither solve the problem, the same error still happens on a fresh install.
So that gets me thinking I need to reinstall firmware? Please tell me to STOP now if this is the wrong thing to do!
I've not done this before so forgive my noobiness.
I've located the correct RUU I believe matching these details:
Code:

This is what I've got (sorry can't post links!).
I don't have an SD card to fit the phone, can I flash this from my PC or do I need an EXE version?
Thanks
Ed
EDIT: On download of that RUU zip file, when I try to extract the files it says archive corrupt (I've tried downloading twice). Is that normal or is the thing broken? Don't wanna brick the phone.

You don't have to extract the zip file. It's normal for the zip file to not be openable/extractable, as it's encrypted. If you *really* need access to the inside of the RUU (example, get the stock boot image), use the Universal Decryption Tool.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you should reflash the firmware. Although it's optional, I think your bootloader should be LOCKED or RELOCKED before flashing your RUU.
Instructions are here.
And remember, just in case, triple-check your RUUs.

Neither seems to be working. At the moment the phone is still in RUU mode with the a progress bar about 20% on blue. Don't want to switch it off midway?!
EDIT: To be exact it fails at 18% in the second phase (after pre-update).

I can't help much, but you should try using a regular fastboot.exe and change "htc_fastboot" to "fastboot" in your commands(don't. it will fail.) Also try checking here.

Wizard_RUU​
A small utility from HTC - a shell for flashing RUU.zip through PC (Windows)
Unpacked and taken from official RUU.exe from HTC
How to use:
Download archive Wizard_RUU.rar, unpack.
Download the stock RUU firmware in ZIP (suitable for CID and MID of your phone)
Copy the stock RUU ZIP in the folder with Wizard_RUU
Rename 0PJAIMG_HIMA _ *****. zip to rom.zip
Run the ARUWizard.exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
If after installing ARUWizard.exe and after confirming the agreement condition, the installation crashes, then download and install Microsoft Visual C ++. After that, run ARUWizard.exe again
Download:
Wizard_RUU.rar (mirror on AFH)
It is used as an alternative to installing the ruu.zip through an external sd card.
PS. All data on the phone will be deleted. If possible, make a backup before installing RUU.

If you boot your device into bootloader, does it say UNLOCKED at the top? Chances are that it is still locked.
You need to be locked to update firmware.
I don't know if it's necessary but i relocked the bootloader to flash the firmware.
Here are the steps i performed
fastboot oem lock ( to relock the bootloader)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals on RUU)
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
I then reunlocked and flashed arhd custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have S-OFF and for firmware flash you have to bel locked so on top I have ****RELOCKED**** and Hboot is on version 1.12
Got firmware flashed! Now I flashed recovery and when I booted to recovery I only get blank screen. So recovery is up but no graphics.
Please give more info. Does it just sit on a black screen
Is there anything at all on the screen
Does it just flash black and then carry on booting as normal
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
When I want to boot recovery it looks like it's booting and then it switches to completely black screen. When I press power button long enough i get three flashes on hard buttons on bottom and then phone powers down.
Below is my whole flashing procedure.
I have firmware for cid HTC__001 got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
I took boot image from ARHD 17.1 link and recovery from official link. Did I missed something? or am I doing it in wrong way?

looks fine.
maybe the download of the recovery is defect or corrupt. did you try to download the recovery again and install it?
If I flash same recovery file when I have stock RUU 2.17 on phone it boots normally. So the file is OK.

Wildfire jammed in FASTBOOT

Welcome.
I have the following problem with my HTC. When you turn on the phone immediately turns on fastboot and can not control buttons Vol + / - on the menu. Can I come in hboot, but there did not respond to my commands.
It is a chance to solve the problem?

Does it boot Into hboot or fastboot specifically? Also do you have an sdcard in the phone? And lastly when you plug in the usb cable to issue commands does the phone change to hbootUSB or fastbootUSB at all and does Windows detect and Install drivers?

When I push the power button, phone starts in FASTBOOT. I can run it in hboot by pressing Vol-+ PWR.
In both modes, the buttons are not working. When I connect the USB cable changes as FASTBOOT USB / HBOOT USB or something like that. I have a card in your phone, I try without the card.

I should have said, block out your imei and HTC serial number like I have. You never know whos watching...
Anyway, your bootloader is still unlocked so ruus wont flash. You can use the command fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader. But, it's unlikely that it will work as you have an upgraded hboot. If I was you I would I would extract the Rom.zip from the ruu. Then extract that Rom.zip and you should end up with several images and some .nbh files. place the boot.img, system.img, data.img Into your fastboot folder. Then you going to want to format the phone with fastboot and then flash the phone with fastboot. http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/714676-list-fastboot-command.html here is a command list but I will tell you what I think it should be, and if you hit a snag refer to the link. So the commands should be in this order assuming you are CD'd to your fastboot folder
fastboot format boot
fastboot format system
fastboot format data
fastboot format cache
Then assuming it all goes well then issue these commands
fastboot flash system.img
fastboot flash data.img
fastboot flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot.img
fastboot reboot
Yes that flash the boot.img twice is not a typo all going well after this you should able to boot up. if you hit any big problems just hit the thread pal

Ah. This could be problematic. I should have been clearer, I didn't mean for you to lock your bootloader again, I was simply informing you it would need to be locked for an ruu to run. None of those commands will work while the bootloader is locked. If you were the one to unlock the device the you can unlock it again assuming you have the unlock_token.bin, using the same fastboot command again. If you didn't you will have to go to www.htcdev.com and make an account, then go to bootloader unlock, select wildfire buzz and ignore the bootloader update, as you already have it. (Skip should be near the bottom.) Then follow the instructions and get the bootloader unlocked again. Then issue the commands excluding the lock bootloader one and the flash data data.img as you don't have it. Its not a problem though, I was just covering all bases, incase it did have a data.img in there make sure you still do the data format though!
Sorry for the confusion

What version of RUU I must use? I tested 3 versions and none of them has data.img
I have uploaded the files system.img, recovery.img, userdata.img and the phone still does not work. How can I delete the data. Fastboot format command does not work, there is no such command.
And after the command fastboot erase still:

did you get the bootloader unlocked again? fastboot commands will only work on unlocked bootloaders.
Dont worry about the data.img, you do not need it. i simply added it incase the ruu had it and you got confused. again, it is not required.
Yes, I have unlocked bootloader, but comands still don't work.

hmmm. well if we cannot format the partitions then we are not going to have much luck :/
ok lets try a different tactic. download this and rename it to just recovery.img . then place it into your adb folder and then issue the following command via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
hopefully this will allow you to boot into clockworkmod recovery. when you enter clockworkmod recovery use the volume buttons to move and the trackball to select, power is back. format everything. then try to mount your sdcard using advanced/mount storage or sdcard, something to that effect. then place this file onto it. all going well you should be able to then flash this rom. dismount the usb storage, then go back to the main menu (power button) then go to flash/install, select choose zip and then the zip file we placed there. hopefully the recovery will install without issue. then, open the copy of the rom you downloaded on your pc and extract the boot.img. reboot the phone into fastboot and then use the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
all going well this rom will boot and you will have a working phone again.
Unfortunately, it does not change anything. I can not enter into Clockworkmod recovery. The keys are not working

it should boot into cwm automatically, no button intervention required.
Unfortunately does not turn ClockworkMod. Phone lay two days without batteries, has launched today as normal. Everything worked. I wanted to do S-OFF by unrevoked, entered into hboot, the phone resets and hung on the HTC screen. After removing the battery turns on hboot again. In Unrevoked I saw that wrote "ClockworMode Recovery"

[SOLVED] Won't boot and random fastboot errors after upgrade attempt

Hi,
Short story:
My One X won't boot to Android anymore. I can only enter boot / fastboot modes.
And when trying to apply modifications (fastboot flash or fastboot unlock), it shows various errors, not always the same.
Long story:
I bought this phone second hand quite a while ago, soon after its market launch. It was already unlocked and rooted, but I don't know what method had been used.
RUU says it runs release 1.28.
Boot says:
- S-On
- HBoot-0.94.0000
- Radio 1.1204.103.14
- Apr 11 2012,02:27:11
Given that it was unlocked / rooted it never received an OTA.
I recently decided to perform a full wipe, and by the way a full upgrade.
So:
- I did a CWM Recovery backup
- I flashed a «semi-stock» image, the stock de-odexed 4.18.401.3 from android-revolution (URL forbidden here, I'm a newbie!) .
- I performed a full wipe / factory reset / cache cleaning / Dalvik cache cleaning.
It didn't boot, and I learnt about the ICS / JB hboot incompatibility.
I tried to flash the boot from the android-revolution page, with no improvements.
So, I decided to revert to my Nandroid backup, from the recovery.
Didn't boot either.
Then I found a Windows computer, relocked the bootloader, and tried RUUs (3.14 and 1.26) with no success.
CID is HTC__203, so I used .401 RUU or OTA files.
RUU application stops each time at a different moment, either for usb connexion error, wrong RUU for my phone, not enough battery, or unknown error.
I read about a battery charge issue, and tried this method to charge it:
Code:
while : ; do fastboot getvar battery-voltage; fastboot reboot-bootloader; sleep 6; done
(as you may see, my main workstation is running Linux)
After a 9 hours long night:
Code:
< waiting for device >
battery-voltage: 3610mV
finished. total time: 0.100s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.177s]
finished. total time: 0.177s
< waiting for device >
battery-voltage: 3610mV
finished. total time: 0.100s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.177s]
finished. total time: 0.177s
It seems that it couldn't go farther than 3.6V.
But if I tried to unlock my phone after that:
Code:
[[email protected] htc_one_x]# fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.141s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

You can see error message is not always the same.

Give me result from command fastboot getvar version-main
Download this fastboot.zip and extract it to a folder fastboot rename the file fastboot-linux to fastboot. The file fastboot only is for windows and if you want to keep it rename fastboot to fastboot-windows

1. Charge your phone
2. Download this RUU 1.28.401.9
3. Lock your bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
4. Run the RUU as administrator
5. Aplly all update to latest JB from Settings/Software update

That's exactly what I was trying to do.
I finally succeeded, few minutes ago, after charging to 3920mv.
It looks like the USB cable quality has a big impact on the charging capabilities:
- with a cheap cable I couldn't go farther than 3.6xx V.
- When I changed my cable, it was charging much faster, up to 3.9xx V.
…then at this level of charge the RUU*worked.
Thanks anyway for your help! :good:
Now it's doing OTA*updates…

Good to hear that:good:
All upgrades applied, works like a charm
I set the title for this answer with [SOLVED], I hope it applies to the thread as well.
Now let's look for a way to root this rom!

WLAN does not work after 4.4 Update

Hey Guys,
i wanted to upgrade my HTC One M8 to the newest T-Mobile Germany Firmware. My HTC One was rooted and I had the TWRP Recovery with ViperRom.
I installed a Nandroid Backup with the 1.12.111.18 (4.3) Firmware. After that i installed the 1.57.111.2 Stock Recovery, than I relocked the Bootloader and after the Root was gone, I updated my Phone to the 1.57.111.2 (4.4.2), and now my WiFi is not working. I even upgraded to a newer Version of the Stock Recovery, but it still not working.
Here are some Information about my Phone.
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000
RADIO-1.19.21331147A1.09G
OS-
CIDNUM: T-MOB101
If you guys, need some other Information. Just let me know.

Need help returning to stock

Hey guys, so I recently got an S6 but was going to sell my m7 for a little extra cash. It had the purple camera issue tho so I was going to return it to stock and send it in for repair. I attempted to follow the return to stock thread but something went wrong. I started out bootloader unlocked via HTCdev and S-off. I thought I had successfully flashed the RUU and proceeded with command to go back to S-on. Well now I can only get to the bootloader. When I try to reboot it always brings me back to the bootloader. Currently it says Tampered, Locked, S-on and I can only do stuff through fastboot. I haven't been able to successfully flash anything from here. Anybody know if there's anything else I can do to get this phone running again? Appreciate any help
What firmware is the phone on? While in fastboot, it will tell you hboot version as well as the os version. If that doesn't work, do fastboot getvar all and post it here with imei and serial removed.
Thanks for the reply. It was on the latest firmware that Santod had posted. OS is 5.28.605.2
If you are on 5.28, the 4.4.3 ruu might work for you.

Whenever I try to use the EXE file I get a connection error. I'm not sure why, the phone's connected and I can still use fastboot. I have the latest HTC sync manager installed so the drivers should be good. If I try to just flash the RUU I get a signature error. Any other ideas that might work?

Dude first you have to extract the zip file then run the .exe file just read the instructions in the thread of that RUU. Happy Flashing
OK, I feel like an idiot. I've been trying so many different things to get this to work I copied the section of the command window that I knew wasn't right., however it is still not working. What I have done is extracted the zip from that thread and tried to flash the rom.zip file that was included in it. Unfortunately I still get a signature fail. When I try to use the exe program in that thread I get a USB connection error every time. Thank you both for your replies. It seems that thread is my only shot so I'm going to take my questions over there.
