Hi all
Really stuck at the moment
My CID is HTC_001 and I'm on version 2.41.401.3? (S-ON)
I'm trying to flash the latest oreo firmware however I can't either find the correct RUU to do it, on top of that I'm trying the flash (I think the right file?_) via SD card however I don't have one and people are mentioned using a command prompt which confused me more.
Please help ! If you can provide links to the RUU or the correct file I'm meant to flash I'd appreciate it
Edit:
Solved - Answer on page two!

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

Hi, thanks for the advice. The issue I'm having is I don't have access to an SD card so I'm trying to flash via ADB sideload in TWRP however I'm now met with zip file invalid in TWRP.

You can't flash it with twrp. You can use htc_fastboot and flash from RUU mode.

If anyone wants to know what I did to get back to stock so I could download Oreo
Downloaded Fastboot/ADB(Use this guide) https://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Enabled USB debugging on the phone
Download HTC_Fastboot (Google it)
Download the Zip yldlj posted (Only if you are the same CID as me, the check this go onto the app store and find CID checker and then look on XDA for appropriate zip)
Put the download zip into the same folder as ADB/HTC_Fastboot/Fastboot folder. Rename it ota.zip
In the folder where you've extracted the ADB/Fastboot/ hold Ctrl Shift Right click open command window here
Connect your phone via USB
Set your phone onto download mode
From there I used the command htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once loaded into RUU Mode use the command htc_fastboot flash zip ota.zip
Once that was complete I was back to stock Android N which then enables me to update to Oreo
BANG
Fixed

1: you need the ruu that matches your main version OS which can be found in the download mode
2: if you are on leedroid oreo means you have a oreo firmware and in that case you can not "just" flash a nougat ruu. Check the guides section, there is a downgrade dedicated thread with all the needed information

for example htc rezound if you rename the rom name to PH98IMG you can reboot into bootloader and flash the rom automatically. how do I do that? asking because I don't have a rom on my phone (I wiped everything) now trying to get a rom loaded on it

Your Rom can be named whatever you want as long as you write the name the same in the command and Idk if there is an automatic way like that, I doubt it.
This cant be done with roms, only with ruu's and firmware images. You would need a usb-otg cable, a fat32 formated flash drive, and the correct name would be PN07IMG.zip
im so stuck now. the htc resound was so much easier.
im s-off but stuck with no rom at all to load.
I kno how to adb sideload a rom to my phone but non of them are installing.
how can I return to stock?

more information would be nice. I cant not find a ruu zip or exe downloadwith vzw_001 thats my cid I believe.
so I will have to get that ruu and adb sidload it and then install from twrp? or fastboot oem rebootRUU install it that way?
detailed information would be greatly appreciated my hboot is the dreaded 1.56 I am s-off tho unlocked.
You can get the ruu's at the bottom of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621
You can direct flash thru hboot as i explained earlier, or use
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip
You do not sideload the zip to the phone, but put it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe.

hmm thank you so much. and for some reason encrypted ruu doesn't work? but isn't that like how stock comes from the factory? I would like it to be factory stock to the max. then im gunna just debloat it.
For encrypted to work you must relock your bootloader. Either way you are getting the exact same thing. Encrypted / decrypted refer to the flashable file it self, not the files it contains or how they are put on the phone. Once you do the ruu and take the ota, you will be compleet stock other than being unlocked and s-off.
Hi everyone! I installed the stock google edition on my HTC ONE M8 last night using adb command. Then I get in TWRP recovery try to restore my previous backup that I made using TWRP. Then I got an "restore failed". So, I get in wipe, but I chose the advanced wipe instead of factory reset because my old defy+ is this. I'm so stupid.... I deleted the system. Now I have no OS installed on my phone. I googled earlier that people were saying that using ADB sideload will work. I get in recovery and pressed the sideload but the progress bar just keep going for like 8 hours straight !!! What should I do?
Also, my phone has unlocked boot loader and S-OFF. I rooted my phone before I did the wipe.
Use adb push <nameofrom>.zip /sdcard and then flash that

Okay. But when I connect my phone to my PC. It makes the notification sound but did not recognize it. And when I typed in "adb devices" there is no devices attached.
It'll only show when booted into TWRP (so flash that in fastboot if you have to), and that's when you push the file

I see now. Does it matter which rom I use? I will try that when I get home. Also, how to use the adb sideload. I stuck in process for about 8hours since last night I pressed the button.

I believe it was RUU.
If it was the RUU then you'll have to flash the firmware package in post 2 of the RUU thread before flashing a Sense-based ROM but if you want the GPe ROM back just flash the RUU again as per the original thread...

Okay. When I tried to use TWRP install the zip file. It told me failed. Is that wrong or should I use adb?
Your backup probably failed because it didn't backup correctly. It's happened to me a couple of times wirh TWRP. You should always check your backup works before deleting anything. There are stock backups available on this forum.
The RUU has to be flashed in fastboot using the fastboot commands, so if you're trying to flash it in TWRP it will fail. To flash the RUU, you have to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
First time WILL fail, so then run the same command again - fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
fastboot reboot
This is ONLY for the RUU ZIP file and not a normal TWRP-flashable ZIP

If you did want sense all you need to do is restore a stock backup and then flash firmware.
If you restore gpe ruu, just download a stock sense backup, the copy and paste the extracted folder it in the twrp folder and restore, then flash the firmware_splash.zip in RUU mode

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)
Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it,
If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)
There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.
One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.

I went to update to marshmallow the other day & followed a tutorial
I have an unlocked bootloader & S-OFF with theTWRP recovery.
every single custom ROM or signed rom doesn't seem to have an affect.
What could I have done to cause this bootloop?
or is there anyway to see an error log as to why its not booting.
thank you.
Which tutorial you followed to update to Marshmallow?
Tutorial I Followed
Unfortunately I can't post links just yet as I've only just found out about this site.
but if you type in google "wonder how to return-your-htc-one-100-stock-unroot-update" its the first link
I think my problem is a confliction with the firmware, ruu and mid that I'm using but I dont have the android knowledge to know which one & get it out of bootloop.
Plus I only got to step 4 before my phone broke,
When I try to flash boot a 2 gig RUU file it says fail
When I Try to boot from TWRP recovery with custom roms it all goes through but then still gives me the bootloop (I also delete my cache's)
I have bee researching for days now as I hate having to go back to Iphone & desperately need a fix.
thank you!

Make sure the RUU is the correct one matching the CID of your phone
change the name of the RUU to 0PJAIMG.ZIP and put it on SDCard then reboot to download mode
should be yellow text at bottom of screen (volume up to flash volume down to cancel)
(make sure SD card is fat32 and the 0PJAIMG zip file is the only thing on the card)

After days of trying to fix this you have helped me so much!
You are amazing! The problem was the wiping the SD card so its the only thing on there, I would never have got that!
Now, its asking me to update the device & it takes me to TWRP every time, how do I get it to update when there is a custom recovery installed?
Flash stock recovery in fastboot have look in the link might help you!

Never mind it seems to be updating without going to TWRP now thank you so much I never knew forums could be so beneficial.
Hi guys i'll explaine what happened:
1. I was on nougat rom rooted trying to get back to stock.
2. I run an old lollipop ruu.exe from my computer but it reboots the phone to bootloader mode without going on.
3. I manually reboot to bootloader to see it if does move on but nothing.
4. I disconnect the phone.
Now there's no OS and recovery and flashing TWRP succeeds but when I try to reboot to recovery it say that's not possible.
I tried to flash via sdcard the OPJAIMG but it seems like it doesn't see it (screenshot in attachements).
I can access download mode
I'm S-OFF on Nougat firmware.. what can i do?
EDIT: I tried to live-boot TWRP but it stays forever on booting in cmd and flashing in phone
@Flippy498 maybe you have an idea? You have so much knowledge on this!
I haven't seen a 4.x RUU for the SKU 401, yet. You therefore would need to flash one of Sneakyghost's 3.x firmware packs before you're able to use a 3.x RUU, again. The encryption key changed between firmware 3.x and 4.x. Therefore you can't use 4.x RUUs on firmware 1.x to 3.x and vice versa.
In contrast to the flashing command the command for booting TWRP via fastboot needs to be used while the phone is booted to the bootloader instead of the download mode. However, since I haven't seen a publicly available TWRP backup for the latest 401 firmware, yet, TWRP won't help you much in your situation. (Or do you have your own backup?)
That means on the other hand that you currently need to downgrade to 3.35.401.12 and to re-install the OTAs for 3.35.401.32 and 4.14.401.7 since the latest RUU is for version 3.35.401.12.
Edit: Oh, and the only RUU.exe for SKU 401 that I know is for that 1.x firmware wird the 17 at the end. You shouldn't use that one. The corresponding OTA only got distributed for one single CID (I forgot which one it was). That means that you won't receive OTAs if you aren't using that specific CID on your phone. That means you would need to flash another RUU afterwards for getting away from that firmware version. And instead of flashing two RUUs you could save some time and directly flash the second one.

1 - Try 0(zero)PJAIMG and not O
2 - Restore to stock recovery
3 - Start phone in download mode and push volume UP

That's actually not needed. The RUU will flash the stock recovery by its own. You only need a working download mode.

Tried to live-boot TWRP from bootloader since I have my own backup but it fails with the following message:
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
About 0PJAIMG it is named correctly in SD it's just me that made a mistake writing here.
So last chance for me is to head to Sneakyghost's thread and flash the 3.35.401.32 fullstock firmware then head to your google sheet and pick the 3.35.401.12 RUU and flash it right?

Correct. Although you can use the 3.35.401.12 firmware pack, as well. It doesn't matter which one of the two firmware versions you choose.

Thanks for your support! Anyway i'm going to do the whole thing tomorrow.. I was reading the instructions on Sneakyghost's thread and he recommend to use his tool because it contains the htc_fastboot that works better than google's one but I don't see any option to lunch the flash zip firmware command from the tool so I decided to get the htc_fastboot.exe file and move it inside another folder (a new one) in wich i'll put both firmware and rom zip to flash. I'm saying this because i'm not 100% sure this is correct so just to clear all doubts..
Once again @Flippy498 you saved me and I say thank you a million times I promise i'll take a break at trying to destroy my m9 so you'll definitely not hear me / see me here anymore hehe
