No you don't (assuming this is an RUU.zip)
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and flash it in bootloader via extSD. There are several tutorials around, but you could look at this. (S-Off isn't needed for an RUU.zip that is made for your model of M8)

for others stranding here, the original download from htc:
htc_fastboot windows
htc_fastboot mac
htc_fastboot linux

[Q] How to upgrade firmware/hboot [linux]

Hi, I'm trying to install cm10.1-RC5 from Arch Linux. I've wiped and factory reset and flashed the boot.img. I don't have s-off.
When I try to install the .zip in ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 I get errors indicating that my bootloader isn't a compatible version. For example:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.31.0000"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.0-RC5-endeavoru.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I gather that this means my hboot or firmware needs an update. I've found this thread which seems relevant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241419
I ran "fastboot oem readcid" and got this:
...
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: VODAP021
OKAY [ 4.075s]
finished. total time: 4.075s
So I guess this means I need Vodaphone specific firmware? Where can I access this?
Or am I on the wrong track?
Post the result of fastboot getvar version-main..
This is a cmd fastboot command (windows)... No idea what's the command for Linux.. Might be something similar..
This way we can make sure which firmware you have...

Thanks for the quick reply, here's the output:
version-main: 1.29.862.11
finished. total time: 4.069s
I've located this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&highlight=upgrade+firmware+linux
This pointed me to .zip containing hboot 1.36.
I tried following these instructions:
http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/
Unfortunately the directories the tutorial references are different to the one in my .zip.
Now there are 2 ways you can upgrade your device's hboot
1: Returning to stock with a ruu and then updating to jellybean hboot with ota update.
2. Flashing the firmware zip and then installing a custom rom.
For running a ruu you will need access to a windows pc since it's an exe file : http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...11-radio-1120410514-release-260561-signedexe/
If you want to upgrade your firmware by flashing... Here's the firmware upgrade for your cid : http://goo.gl/yAa0G
Download the firmware and rename it to firmware.zip and then put it in the fastboot folder..
Steps:
1. Relock bootloader : fastboot oem lock
2. Reboot to ruu : fastboot oem rebootRUU
It will take you to a black htc screen... Wait for a few seconds for the screen to settle down and then flash the firmware :
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
You might need to flash the firmware twice if you get an error the first time! Its quite normal! After successfully flashing the firmware, you need to unlock the Bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash the custom rom!
PS: Again, the commands are for fastboot cmd (windows).. Linux might be a little different..

@anandlal meant that you need to use htc_fastboot instead of fastboot. htc_fastboot is capable of handling larger files. Download htc_fastboot and put it in the same folder as fastboot. It works exactly the same other than adding the "htc_" in front of the command.

M8 bricked, cant flash new rom neither restore backup

Hey guys,
Recently I have bought used m8 with custom rom. Seller said he sells it because after trying to do factory reset (thinking it could restore to stock) he lost any gsm signal, only wifi worked. I had some experience with flashing sony mobiles and lg few years ago, so thought it would be easy to install stock rom and use device again. Googled a bit about flashing HTC devices, then downloaded rom, after that had some dificulties with win 8 and htc drivers, so tried to put rom into sd, it was too small. Somehow managed to put rom into device, tried to flash, had some errors, tried another roms, got another fails, changed my cid and mid, played with locked/relocked things, that didn't help either. Tried to restore a nandroid backup, even if it says restore was successful, after i choose reboot, it only boots me in bootloader. Now i cant access twrp, my pc recognises phone, but none of adb commands work.
I apologise if anyone got similar problem, but tried to look for explainations on my own, and found nothing, so this is my last hope to get it working.
Any help or info will be appreciated, I also am very interested in what you guys are doing, so i could even donate for people who can help alot.

A big mistake has been made, either by you, or the previous owner. As you indicated the previous owner lost GSM signal, I would guess that person may be the culprit.
Here's what I mean: Your M8 version is Verizon, indicated by the product name M8_WLV. I can see from the OS number (6.12.401.4) that installation of Euro firmware was attempted.
The Verizon version is somewhat unique, in that its designed for use on US Verizon carrier's CDMA network (in addition to GSM, HSPA, LTE) and therefore has its own partition layout, radio firmware, etc. Trying to flash any other version's firmware to this device will not work, and may result in a permanent radio brick. Essentially, only Verizon firmware or RUUs should only be installed to this device. Unlike most other M8 versions, you cannot convert the Verizon M8 to another version by changing the CID/MID (after s-off) and flashing another version RUU.
Indeed, the OS number in parenthesis indicates a problem with the firmware. And I'll venture to guess that this line is also in red font (which also indicated a firmware problem).
Your best (and really, only) option is to try the proper Verizon RUU. A lot of times, this will fix the firmware, and get the radio to work. Although there is a possibility that its a permanent radio brick (as we've seen a number of times). Try the 6.21.605.3 RUU from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
Another couple mistakes that I can see:
There was never a need to relock the bootloader for what you are doing, since the device is s-off. Its not needed to do this in order to flash firmware or RUU (the main reason to relock bootloader) as this requirement is bypassed by s-off. A relocked bootloader won't interfere with the RUU I recommended. But it would hamper trying to install TWRP custom recovery.
adb won't work unless you are booted to Android OS, or in TWRP. Since neither of those are working, it is normal and expected that adb command won't work. Fastboot command should work, while booting into bootloader-fastboot mode (and only that mode). While fastboot is related to adb, there are important conditions and differences.

If the latest RUU doesn't fix the radio signal, I suggest to install the lowest version 1.5x. as the lower version usually will fix the NV partition which related to radio and unbrick it. (This is what I read in VZW thread before)

Good to know, I wasn't aware.
I think the 1.5x files would be here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
Edited my earlier post.
Your earlier link is good ... click 4.4.4 RUU zip link, it's 3.28.605.4 RUU
The only way to reset the partition to out of the box stock is to flash your carrier's 4.4.4 firmware and the stock recovery for you device. Reboot to recovery and select factory data reset and let it do it's thing. If you watch the reset log you will see it mention resetting the NV partition.​

what if i have changed cid and mid thinking to make my device to international?
now my cid is HTC__032

That's correct, you will need to change back to the Verizon CID and MID to run the RUUs, firmware. Sorry, I missed that in the details you provided.
Alternately, if you change to SuperCID (11111111) in most cases this will bypass the MID check (and save you some steps).
now got RUU mode with exclamation marks on the edges of screen..
changed cid to vzw__001, but now need to get to fastboot again, to change it to supercid and will try 6,0 ruu.exe 4,4,4ruu.exe and 6,0 .zip files i have downloaded
Edit: cid changed to supercid, still stuck on silver htc logo with 4triangles on the edges. cant find a solution...
Read this on how-to : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
but use your ruu.zip not the one in the guide.
At the end of the guide, you'll see there are 3 methods to install ruu.zip
tried your method and got this:

already tried to do it with ARUwizard.exe and stuck on silver HTC letters with 4 triangles nad exclamation marks on the edges of the screen, cant boot to bootloader, and i dont have enough storage in SD card to put rom in it

What are those you downloaded ? Which link ?
In my earlier post, I specifically suggested this one : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604006
If in ruu.zip you downloaded has all those files, it means you need to extract the ruu.zip then run the ARUwizard.exe to install.

yes i have downloaded exactly this and two more, now extracted this, ran wizard and got error 171 usb connection error, tried another usb cable, another usb slot but same error, what could solve this?
Do you have latest HTC USB drivers installed ? As explained in this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
where it says - first you need this ?
Also try with USB2.0, if running it with ARUwizard.exe (that also explained in the same guide in the link at the lower part).
Or take only the rom.zip then
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

I downloaded the 3.28.605.4 ruu.zip to see what's going on here .. it's a signed RUU, you're not supposed to extract it. No normal zip archiver can extract it properly.
Rename the whole as ruu.zip or rom.zip then htc_fastboot it after you put the device in RUU mode
fastboot oem reboot RUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip (or rom.zip if you renamed it rom.zip)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
also make sure your windows extension is not hidden so it won't actually become ruu.zip.zip where you will have unable to load ruu.zip error

Flashing RUU in rebootRUU mode can restore your phone to stock, and all data will be WIPED.
First of all, please find a copy of htc_fastboot in this forum, then
- Connect it to PC
- Reboot to Download Mode
- Use htc_fastboot to go in RUU mode
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
- Flash RUU zip file from this thread, and yes, you cannot unzip them because they are encrypted. Just use htc_fastboot to flash it.
