Locked bootloader and S-On question... - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, stupid question.
If my bootloader is locked and I have S-On can I rename a Stock Rom to 0PJAIMG.zip put it on my SDCard and install it?

Yes, but the ruu needs to be signed and the same versions or higher.
Another observation: If you have a 1.xx.yyy.xx you can only flash a ruu starting with 1.xx, the same way for 2.xx, 3.xx.

Thanks, I think I have the dead nand issue, I can only get into bootloader and not recovery or download.....I also don't know what firmware I'm on....so maybe start from the bottom up?
If I do will it say Status:Modified?
I'm UK O2 network I think?!

If you can't boot in download it's probably a dead nand which is an hardware issue.

Ok, try this then, the wifi problem probably isn't hardware related as the button is greyed out. therefore no need to return phone (yet)
1, You are s off (fantastic, keep this as you can do alot more to sort issues out this way)
2, flash a custom recovery, for simplicity, use philz recovery - rename the img to recovery.img and place in folder on your PC where your adb/fastboot stuff is, then reboot ur m8 into bootloader and using CMD typr "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then "fastboot erase cache". You should now have something to restore......
3, ......THIS on your device. basically on the root of your internal storage there should be a folder called "clockworkmod" and in there a folder called "backup" unzip the file and then copy across the file to that backup folder. Reboot into recovery and restore the backup. You now have a stock rom installed.
4, Flash THE 1.54.401.10 FIRMWARE using teither of the guides i showed you. You now have stock rom and firmware. also stock recovery and stock hboot as the firmware takes care of these for you
5, reboot your device and check for software updates, you should be able to take the ota and apply it, furthermore by completeing the previous steps, this should have solved your wifi isse and u will be on 4.4.3

Bricked htc one m9 (urgent help!!)

Hi guys. I just bricked my HTC one m9. I was trying to get it back to stock while I had a custom rom, and I set s-on back to true and locked the bootloader..
Fastboot DOES work.
I cannot enter the custom recovery mode, it says that it failed to boot to recovery.
I cannot boot into my custom rom.
I DO have an SD card. I tried to flash the RUU "0PJAIMG.zip", but it said "failed to flash downloadzip" and didn't flash..
What should I do at this point? I don't want $700 down the drain
1) What is your CID?
2) you flash RUU via SDcard?
3) If you ever got your phone back to normal. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN S-OFF BACK TO TRUE, AND LOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER. BECAUSE ITS NOT NEEDED AT ALL.
I tried to flash an RUU via SD card, but it gave me that error posted above.
My CID is 11111111

once i auto-bricked my phone, ereasing everuthing with twrp, everything......i did enter into bootloader i guess or download mode (dont remeber very well) and with cid BS_US001 i did flash a Ruu-Zip for developer 2.8 and the after that i could restore everything....hopefully yoiu can do the same

Because this is a official RUU for the .617. Which matches your OS version. I can only hope it works since you are S-ON and LOCKED

If you're using the SD Card method it doesn't matter at all whether your bootloader is locked or not. And as long as the RUU is the same version as your actual firmware (or if the RUU is newer) it doesn't matter whether your phone is S-ON or S-OFF.
The SD card has to be formated to fat32 and mustn't be bigger than 32gb. Copy the RUU to the main directory of the card and rename it to "0PJAIMG.zip" (that's a zero not an O). If you then put the card back into your phone and reboot to download mode you just have to follow the instructions on the phone's screen.
Let's say I were to flash the wrong firmware version RUU (which I did, and the installation failed), would it say something like "failed to flash zip downloadzip", because that's what it said.

Which method did you use? If you used the SD Card method: Are file extensions visible on your pc? If not the file may be named "0PJAIMG.zip.zip" now...
I used the SD card method, but the firmware version was wrong. I just want to know if it would stop me with an error, instead of actually installing the RUU.

Since you're S-ON you can't harm your phone with a "wrong" RUU. If it's incompatible it simply won't flash.
Edit with some alternative solutions: There is a RUU.exe for your specific firmware on ir-file. But you need to pay if you want to download there. (At least if there is no xda member who already has an account and is willing to help.) Or you try this RUU Service. But that one isn't for free, either.

Ohh my, locked and Son...May the force be with you...always.
I do believe the only option would be to download a Ruu-EXE from HTC Developers and run it from PC, also phone must connected in download mode or recovery, hopefully you do it for good.................
OR.....................................MAKE USE OF THE UH-OH GUARANTEE, step the phone under the water for 20 mins or crush the screen and take it to your vendor, they should replace phone with no questions for one completly new as guarantee states!!!!!
In Mexico, Telcel they do Honor this special guarantee

Sounds like the phone is rooted or the system has otherwise been modified. If so, you need to ruu, or restore an unmodified system image backup (I doubt you have one or you wouldn't be asking for help) to return to stock before ota will work.

You are aware of the fact that version 2.10.709.6 already exists and that the M9 installs OTAs incrementally, aren't you? That makes one update from 1.40.709.4 to 1.40.709.8, one from 1.40.709.8 to 2.10.709.1 and a third one from 2.10.709.1 to 2.10.709.6 which are currently not installed on that phone. So I would say it is worth the hassle to update that device. (Besides I would say it's not a real hassle at all. Restoring a TWRP backup or flashing a RUU aren't too difficult tasks. )

HELP!!! How can I flash new firmware with S-ON Unlocked bootloader ??

Hi ! the tittle says it all, I'm on cm13 right now so unlocked bootloader and twrp on. How can I flash the new firmware without going the S-off route ??? Sorry for noobness !

Edit: those links for getting ur device in stock state not flashing MM firmware but i found it useful to share
The linked instructions are obsolete since the backups they were made for do not exist anymore. The updated instructions and the revised backups can be found in my google sheet (a link is in my signature).
But be informed that there is no official MM update for other versions of the M9 than the developer and the unlocked US version. If you want MM on any of the other models you need either S-OFF, sneakyghosts firmware package and the latest Viper rom or S-OFF and all files found in clsA's instructions for converting your M9 to a developer edition.
the Only way to back is flash RUU.and the cid must same and RUU's version must equal or higher than your M9 have

The bootloader only gets locked if you relock it with fastboot. (And because many people here seem to be missinformed: There is no need to relock if you want to install OTAs or flash a RUU.zip. The only things that don't work with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader are using a RUU.exe and flashing official firmware packs with fastboot.)

So it's time to update to oreo firmware first.
You need the ruu that matches the OS line in download mode. Not all x.xx.118 ruu files will work. If you have a S-ON device that is. Check the number and post it here so we can have a look.

Of course it doesn't show an update, a custom rom never offers OTA updates and definetly no firmware updates.

At least a signed one that's around 1900 mb. Only the firmware is of no use. If you mean the files from gem flash.

because when you flash that firmware your OS isn't stock and you can't update to oreo via OTA.

you restore your OS to stock by flashing it, after that reboot and install the official htc OTA and you are on oreo.
i'm only giving you the most easy way to upgrade to oreo because that's what you want because you want to run LOS 15, these are all my experiences and i try to help. If you find another way easier and that way suits you more please be my guest.

No rename the zip to only "2PS6IMG.ZIP" and put it on the SD card, then boot to download mode and proceed to flash it. The file will be recognized, if it isn't you didn't rename it properly.
flash it with fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.ZIP ? or rebootruu then flash? or it will show me the file?
also i do have unlocked bootloader. do i have to relock it?

As i said.......rename the file, copy it to your phones SD card and boot to download mode. Then it will ask you to press volume up to flash or volume down to cancel.
Can't make it easier
ohh. you mean SD card not internal memory? that would be a problem :/ it doesnt do anything when its on internal memory. Also i tried to flash it as ruu but it didnt worked so im flushing each zip according to their number.. lets hope it will work becuase they do flash
