A friend of mine was given an One M8 (european) which is in the state below. I ended up reading countless threads about s-on/s-off, locked bootloader and so on but.

I can try the RUU process but will it result?
In this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-stuck-fastboot-menu-t3343506 ) the last guy says to unlock the bootloader and flash custom recovery. How can I do that without access to the phone into a normal state?
Any advice would be helpful

The device is: op6b100
Is it safe to flash that RUU?

The RUU linked by ckpv5 is specifically intended for your model, and that is the reason why he is telling you to use it.
Trust that guy, he knows what he is talking about. He doesn't guess or screw around.

The current condition is fine, for unlocking the bootloader. You don't need a working OS to do it. But this is a much more complicated approach than the suggested RUU. You would need to get an unlock bin code from HTCDev.com, unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery. Even then, that doesn't get you a working OS. You then have to get an appropriate ROM or stock TWRP backup onto the phone, then flash/restore it.
So again, the RUU is a lot easier for the given situation (unmodified phone, bootloader locked, etc.). Just download the RUU, and run it per the linked instructions, and it will install a full stock image to the phone.
Thanks, will try in a few hours (just giving some juice (charge) to the phone )
While reading the topic I realized he knows the stuff it was just to confirm as I didn't specify the model

We have magical ways of knowing.
Actually, since the device is not modified, the OS number on the bootloader screen tells is what model it is (the 401 is for Euro version MID op6b100).
But also, he wouldn't tell you to use just any RUU, unless he had a reason to suggest that particular one.
Additionally, even if it was the wrong RUU, it would not damage your phone. With s-on, it would just fail to install and give you a message that it is the wrong RUU. It's with s-off (SuperCID, etc.), you need to be careful about wrong RUU.
I have to say guys: this actually worked! You both were superb!
On behalf of him, thank you!

Hello Community,
I've installed Slimkat 4.4.4 Build 8 some time ago. Now I've wanted to go back to Sense Roms. But now, when I go to the recovery and try to flash a new ROM (after Factory Reset of course) i will be stuck while booting with the HTC-Logo and the red text. But when reflashing the same SlimKat, my phone works just fine after flashing...
I would be very happy, if somebody could help me out of this situation, so I can go back to an Sense ROM.
Greetings,
Michael
Are you sure you gave the sense rom enough time? It can take a very long time for first boot sometimes.
Also, what firmware version are you on (according to bootloader screen, not what Android says)....
Yes, i think I gave enought time. (10 minutes should be enough?)
My firmware version according to bootloader is 3.16.0.0000
Could take longer definitely. Let it sit a half hour before giving up.
And what OS version does bootloader report...?
---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------
Actually, I'm sure your firmware is outdated. Need to update it to use any 4.4.4 roms for Sense.
If you're s-on, try this thread,

Life would be simple if you got Sunshine, and if it works, s-off then supercid. Then updating is simple.

check the general section. collection of stock backups ...it has also the ota zip files, firmwares are inside so see if the right one is there

Re-lock the bootloader and flash the 3.33.40 1.6 RUU via microSD car (if you have one) and it should be OK
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleaW9iTFBiSUE2OVE/view?usp=sharing
tnx a lot sir
the file is downloding sir
how i flash it ?
copy in sd card and ?
1. Rename it 0P6BIMG.zip (not 0P6BIMG.zip.zip obviously)
2. Copy it to the microSD card
3. Boot phone into HBOOT and it should find the file and ask if you want to continue
HBOOT
SD Checking...
No gift file...
Loading...[0P6BDIAG.zip]
after this
checking...
after this
press <POWER> to reboot
and then bootloader again...
So it doesn't allow you to update the device? And you relocked the bootloader? If so, please post a screenshot as you did the OP
as for the correct info.......if he is s-on he needs to relock it, with s-off its not mandatory but definetly not wrong as it works anyway.
:good:
i cant share screenshots cause xda dont allow me
have here upload center for photos and i upload here ?
please help me
Why you tell him to relock, he can do what he wants with the bootloader unlocked very well.

No he can't that's the problem. Running a ruu form method on a s-on device needs a relocked bootloader so the answer eddy gave was and still is in this case very safe and fail proof.
s-on - needs relocked bootloader
s-off - doesn't matter at all
see...safe. please take this very well ment advice to do some fine research. then we all can be happy and help others in a correct and useful way

Unlock your bootloader, root, install TWRP and flash CyanogenMod ROM. Don't forget about the Gapps.
Do this and you'll have a working device.
Well the first thing is that you can't just run any ruu......i wonder if anyone noticed that you have the DUAL-SIM M8 phone and NOT the single sim (general model) M8.........check if you have the correct DUAL-SIM ruu or a DUAL-SIM nandroid backup !

Hi Folks,
I've a HTC m8 on 4.4.1 rooted. I'm allover lucky, But for some reasons I wanna upgrade to 5.x
Is there a way to flash ist with TWRP to a Stockrom by HTC?
Thx for helping...
There is no 4.4.1 for the M8. The M8 was released with 4.4.2.
You will run into issues (broken WiFi, extreme long boot times) if you try to install a Lollipop ROM. You need to update the firmware (hboot radio, etc.), also.
Need your CID and main version to know how to proceed. Do getvar all, and post the results, being sure to delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data.
Depending on what CID version you have, you can either RUU to update firmware and install stock Lollipop ROM; otherwise you will need to restore you stock ROM (unrooted) stock recovery, then OTA to update the firmware and update to Lollipop.
Uhhh mam, all this just to give n7player the ability to access id3 tags on external SD. But I badly need to.
Thx for helping!

Ah I forgot to say. Due to freshly moved, I can't plug to any PC and can't make a getvar. Sry.
So it looks like you rooted on Android 4.4.3 (software number 2.22.401) and never installed a custom ROM? That sound right?
Does it say hboot 3.17 on the bootloader screen? S-on or s-off?
Depending on your answers the above questions, your options:
1) Restore stock nandroid you made before root (if you made one) otherwise restore the appropriate stock nandroid from collections here on XDA. Restore stock recovery. Once restored to "stock", install official OTA updates to bring the phone up to Lollipop. From there, you can flash TWRP back to the phone, and root if you like.
2) I think there is a 4.16.401 RUU that will work s-on (need to relock bootloader if s-on). That will get you on stock Lollipop firmware and ROM. Then you can re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root again if you like. But be aware that RUU will wipe the phone, so backup any personal data you want to keep before RUU.

Glad you mentioned that. I originally thought you didn't know the difference between what you posted and getvar output, which would be pretty bad!
The screenshots provide some info, but not everything I want, therefore the additional questions above.
I tried yesterday a Cyanogenmod 12.1 by TWRP after Backup. Worked pretty fine. But after all I've been insure about how long it would take to build up a full functional place with all apps and data I already have and need and recovered my backup.
Your other questions I gonna answer as soon.
Edit: HBOOT 3.18 and S-On
Again, thx for helping. I decided to flash CM 12.1 and restored almost via Titanium.
Seems to be a quit good decision.

Hello.
I got some questions regarding the updating of firmware.
This thread was probably opened 1000times. But every thread is diferent and with different solutions...
So lets start with my problem.
I want to instal a rom with a 6.12 base. My base is 3.16.
In order to get mine to 6.16 i have to update via RUU or FUU or other..
The methods I found require s-off. Im on s-on. Tried to get it via firewater or sunshine app. Firewater doesnt work for me. The script just gets deleted when I run it, and for sunshine I have to pay 25€ (thats too much cause the phone is old, I just rather get a new phone then thats just my opinion, no hate please)
So now my question is:
How do i get s-off, or update my hboot with a phone with s-on and with a custom rom (leedroid rom)
(I dont need S-off, if there is a way to get my hboot to a new version then its ok )
I probably messed things up, and dont know what im talking about..so that's why im here. So I wont brick my phone
Thanks

You have a lollipop firmware. You can install those custom ROM if you want as they will work on lollipop firmware.
Anyway it's best to have marshmallow firmware. You can install RUU (backup your important files like photos, musics & etc from Internal Storage before you run the procedure)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
After you installed RUU, you need to unlock bootloader again with unlock_code.bin that you received from htc or apply a new one and make sure to install latest TWRP (so you won't have blank firmware on bootloader again)

Hey, I used to know about this stuff years ago but stopped so I'm a little lost.
I bought a LG G7 Canadian version off some person (Kijiji) and the phone works fine its fast but I noticed it wasn't normal.
When i start the phone up text says "your device software cannot be checked for corruption" then the phone works normally. The launcher also has a watermark that says userdebug 7.0.6 (70000600) 329.
I've spent the whole day trying to remove it but can't find a way bc Im scared I'll brick it since its Canadian Version.
I'm able to boot the phone into recovery and stuff.
In developer options it says the OEM is unlocked But I thought it wasn't possible with the Canadian version? The person I bought it from seemed clueless about it -_-
Some things to add - The IMEI works, calls etc. There's no S/N. The phone has no "ThinQ" brand on the back but it says LG. It's currently unrooted. I think they may have done that b4 selling to me?
Im too scared to root it myself. Tbh i just want the bootup to be normal and not ugly looking and I want the watermark gone. https://elit3rising.imgur.com/all/?third_party=1
Anyone willing to help me out with this?

I reset it 5 times. It has something to do with root. I cant post this in the other section. Resetting wont fix something that has to do with Bootloader stuff
Canadian version is not unlockable so my only assumption is the phone you have is not a Canadian version and perhaps crossed flashed to canadian firmware

I'm on same phone. Dude that sold it to me said it's Euro model but it's showing Canadian LG-G710AWM20c and I'm the opposite, I want to root/unlock/bootloader unlock but keep running into dead ends. Anyone grab the wheel and point me somewhere usefully? I've done many searches & much reading. There is a root for uwm I believe it was, it was American, can I flash their firmware the unlock with modded bootloader? I'm will to try risky stuff if it has logic. Don't care much for the phone. If I ruin it just a reason to grab Samsung Galaxy S10.
Thanks in advance.
I'm ghost 4 now.... I'll check in every
So often.
