Hi,
Here's my story: I have a factory unlocked M9 bought in Belgium. After reading in XDA, I unlocked the loader, and install TWRP (2.8.5.0). I then made a backup and installed ARHD 5.2.
Everything worked fine, until I decided to sell my device (I live in Argentina, and although I bought the international version, it does not cover 4G band 4). So in order to sell it I wanted to wipe everything back to factory settings. I went ahead and restore my backup. Again everything worked flawlessly, but then I saw some folders in the internal storage that were not supposed to be there (such as maildroid folder, among others). So I went back to TWRP, wipe, advanced, "delete internal SD". oops, wrong choice...
I rebooted and then notices appeared "Unfortunately UI has stopped..../ unfortunately easyaccess has stoped...", losing all functionalities (no touch buttons, I had to restart every time I wanted to change menus).
I restored again the backup...no luck. I then installed again AR 5.2...no luck.
I wanted to RUU (I am not sure I know what it is, but I do know how to follow step by step guides...well at least sometimes...). my phone is S-ON. I tried installing sunshine to S-OFF, but I got the message "No SD card", so it wouldn't let me install it. in fact when I use the HTC file explorer it looks as if there is nothing in the internal storage.
I don't think I can fastboot (USB not recognized). I read that phones needed to be S-OFF ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545 ), so I don't know what else to do.
I really tried all related posts but I can't find the answer....
Any help is really appreciated (of course I couldn't sell the phone). Thanks.
A RUU is a Rom Update Utility. It's a little program made by HTC to reinstall a stock firmware and/or rom on a phone that is S-ON. Depending on the build number and the CID of your phone the needed RUU is an *.exe or a *.zip.
Are you still able to enter Settings>About>Software Information>More? (Not completely sure whether these are the correct english terms. On my phone it's Einstellungen>Info>Software-Informationen>Mehr.) There you can find the build number of the installed firmware if you are on stock rom.
Otherwise you need to boot into download mode where you can find the build number (written in the line with "OS" at the beginning) and the CID of your phone. Since you never mentioned any branding and you bought the phone in Belgium I'm assuming that the CID is something like HTC__*** and that you can use a European RUU.
Next you need to download the corresponding RUU for your build number (just use Ctrl+F for easier searching) and your CID. Since the CID isn't explicitly mentioned in the RUU names you may have to search for the meaning of your phones CID (for example in a list like this one).
If the needed RUU is a *.zip then you have to rename the file to 0PJAIMG.zip (that's a zero not an O), copy it on an external sd card that is not bigger than 32gb and formatted to fat32 and put the sd card into your phone. If you now enter download mode your phone should guide you through the rest of the procedure.
If the needed RUU is an *.exe then you just have to connect you phone to your pc and start the file (on windows).

I had access, the build number is 1.32.401.17 CL506785 release keys. However from download mode I got Mainversion: 1.32.401.15. So I guess I have to use the latter right? I do not need to be S-OFF, because I can't make it....

Ok there are two 1.32.401.15 version for Europe,that only differs in the release: Which should I use
1. 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.15_R1_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_426891_signed.zip
2. 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.15_R2_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_427846_signed.zip

Edit2: I forgot another important thing. (Sorry, I'm in a little hurry right now.) Your CID needs to correspond to the RUU you want to run. Since you never mentioned any branding I'm assuming that it is something like HTC__*** so that you can use a European RUU. You can find out by booting into download mode. (I'm not completely sure whether it's written there if you are S-ON. If not you can either try using an app like CID Getter or the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all".) If your CID differs from HTC__*** I would suggest you to post it here together with the build number so that it's easier for me or someone else to guide you to the correct RUU.

I think that the original stock was 1.32.401.15 as ARHD 5.2 that I flashed comes with the 1.32.401.17
Yes, that's right. Since there has not been an aboot update until now you can also try to install the 1.32.401.8 RUU and then update via the stock OTA function. I've done this with my phone before I got S-OFF so I know that it works. This way you can be sure that the correct version of the 401.15 firmware gets installed.

Ok, I already installed the first release of 1.32.408.15. it worked flawlessly. Should I relock (or lock) the phone to receive OTA?
Use a 32 GB card tip saved my day! ( I had a 128 GB which the phone didn't read)
Thank you all.
I am now trying the second release as the first one did not recognize 5G wifi networks.
Is it possible to receive OTA once you have an unlocked bootloader? XX.15 is the latest version? because ARHD has XX.17?
thanks again
Actually I don't know whether it's necessary to relock the bootloader if you want to install an OTA but I would guess it is. The 401.15 version is the latest European one. 401.17 is only receivable on HTC__J** but llabtoofer stated on his twitter account that the next European update is waiting around the corner.
You mentioned earlier that you cannot connect your phone with your PC and that fastboot isn't working. Did you try to connect your phone to another PC/Laptop (maybe your parents/siblings/friends can help you out if you don't own another one)? As far as I know there is no way to relock bootloader without a PC.

Hi,
I have bought a used HTC M9 on Kijiji (I'm in Québec, Canada)
It must be faulty because it kept randomly restarting (sometimes once, sometimes for periods of 20 minutes, which made it hardly usable)
After clearing the cache partition and factory resetting it a couple times, I decided to flash it.
What I did:
- enabled the developer mode and USB debugging
- unlocked the bootloader
- flashed TWRP
- flashed SuperSU v2.74-2
Now, Android won't boot. When I start the phone, I see the green HTC logo on a white background with a red text saying it's a development build, then after about 10 seconds it restarts to the same screen. Over and over again.
In download mode, I am able to see the device with fastboot, but adb does not show anything.
In recovery mode, it's the opposite.
The phone is still S-ON so I have tried S-OFF methods (moonshine and firewater), but the fact of not having fastboot AND adb working at the same time made them fail.
Here's my phone info:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himaulatt
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) imei: ************
(bootloader) version-main: 3.38.666.2
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_96.01.51207G_F
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA11000
(bootloader) cid: BM___001
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance!
youre flashing the wrong superuser. Try 2.64. And btw, moonshine and firewater wont work. The only way to s off is sunshine

Thanks for your reply.
I used Squabbi's HTC one M9 Toolkit to flash
It does not offer 2.64, but 2.52 and 2.66 are the closest ones. Both in BETA as well.
Should I try one of them?

You shouldnt use toolkits imo, no offence squabbi. You should just download the 2.64 file from chainfires thread and flash it in twrp. It isnt harder than that. Btw 2.64 was the only superSu that worked for me
Ok, I have been able to find a zip for 2.64 and will install it with TWRP when my phone's battery is drained out (it tried to boot on the OS and is currently stuck on the HTC logo...)
I have also tried installing files directly from the microSD
downloaded from:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZaiJ3F_f76sVa4daU5H62OYi5Bj23LEBBv4xDTQ8y-M/pubhtml
http://androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M9
using fastboot flash zip zipfile.zip
but I get errors like
9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL
android-version information is missing
I'm not sure I'm trying to flash the right file anymore...
EDIT:
I have tried to flash both 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_BM_1.32.666.30 and 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_BM_1.32.666.6 files by going to TWRP -> Install but I get the error message 'zip file is corrupt!' every time...
And when I try to flash with fastboot, I get "Invalid sparse file format at header magi"
EDIT2:
Ok, I have made some progress!
What I did:
1/ Downloaded the image from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-to-stock-canadian-htc-one-t3108236
2/ Formated my 8GB microSD card to exFAT (because the system image file is over 4GB)
3/ Extracted the system.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win files to the microSD card in path: E:\TWRP\BACKUPS\<myPhoneIDThatFastbootCanGiveYouIfYouTypeFastbootDevices>\Stock Bell
4/ Started the phone in recovery mode (TWRP)
5/ Tapped on Restore
6/ Selected the two files and hit Restore
7/ Performed a Factory reset (through TWRP, by tapping Wipe)
8/ Rebooted the phone in System mode
And Android started!
I'm not 100% sure it fully works as I haven't been able to finish the configuration yet (I don't have access to a wifi network where I am) so I will do that when I get home tonight.
But it looks a lot better than these past few days.
In the meantime, a quick question:
My bootloader is still unlocked. Can I leave it like that or should I re-lock it?
Thanks
No need to relock it unless you plan on updating. There is conflicting information on whether a locked bootloader is absolutely necessary.. Maybe someone could chime in?.
Otherwise it's safe to leave it and probably best to.

You can OTA with an unlocked bootloader but you need to be 100 % stock. It's always best to not relock bootloaders as if you get into problems, you'll not be able to flash stuff. The only time a locked bootloader is needed is when running RUU.exe while S-On. The SD card method works with an unlocked bootloader. I'd recommend to leave it unlocked
Thanks for the advice!
Ok so I have been able to boot the phone and set it up with my GMail account using wifi.
However, now:
1/ I have a red text mentioning that the build the phone is running is meant for development purposes only. It does not really matter to me, I just thought I'd mention it.
2/ There is no network service. I have tried my girlfriend's SIM card as well, but nothing happens. It doesn't say it can't register the SIM card nor say that the SIM card is not detected. Just nothing.
I tried changing the radio mode to GSM auto using *#*#4636#*#*, but when the phone reboots, it's back to WCDMA
3/ No IMEI (*#06# shows an empty window)
4/ It still randomly reboots as before. I was able to save a 'system crash' error report that popped up after a reboot. Please find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13QBaeA1_Vo-b9mndffvbulG8epMq42Pnguawa2GcQTA/edit?usp=sharing
5/ When I press the physical button to lock the screen, it makes it go black then reboot, 50% of the time

did you restore the correct backup for your firmware?? ex 3.35,401.12 needs 3.35.401.12 and not 3.35.701.12. Everything needs to match. This might also solve your issues.

The main-version that shows in download mode is 3.38.666.2 ... whereas the version of the backup I restored is 1.32.666.30.
I have been searching for a while, but have no idea where to find the right rom... Should I send an email to Bell?

That's why you are getting these issues. You can try out the RUU service. Keep in mind that it costs around 20$, but at least you'll get a phone that's 100 % stock again. Either that or getting s off and downgrade firmware with a RUU

Thanks for the suggestion, I did not know that service.
I always prefer doing things on my own, but I might have to use them because I have already spent around 20 hours trying to fix my phone...
That is, if we are sure there is absolutely no other way to find the RUU for free?

The service is remotely done over the computer, so you'll see everything that happens.
Well, if you find a RUU that matches everything (cid, mid and firmware), you'll be able to do it for free. Either that or s off (25$ as well), and you'll be able to convert your phone into a world wide edition model or dev edition. S off opens up a whole new world for you. Ex - you can flash exactly what you want (no need for Canadian firmware) and you're able to downgrade etc. The rest is up to you.

I found the version I was looking for from this link: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P100
However, it's only 206MB, so I'm guessing it's not a firmware... what do I need to do with it?
EDIT: It's .tar.gz files. apparently source code

The latest news:
I went S-OFF yesterday with Sunshine.
I was able to install Cyanogenmod, which looked cool, but I still did not have any network service.
So, I flashed an Bell stock firmware, version 1.xxx
Still did not have network.
I let Android download and install the update for version 2.xxx
When it finished, I got my network back!
Now, I would like, but am afraid to, update firmware to version 3.xxx or try Cyanogenmod again.
But, obviously, I'm afraid that I won't have any service anymore...
Anyways, thanks a lot guys for your help!

I would recommend upgrading to 3.xx for several reasons like doze, custom ROMs that are up to date etc. If you did the OTA from 1.x to 2.x, you shouldn't have any problems with the OTA to 3.x. in the worst case, just re flash the RUU or just convert the device to an European version.
Heyyy, it's me again
So, Android downloaded the update, but when I try to install it, it reboots to download mode.
Also, I cannot access the Recovery Mode.
I tried flashing TWRP 3.0.2.0 with fastboot a couple times, but when I try to access the Recovery Mode from the bootloader, I get :
Code:
Failed to boot to recovery mode
Press volume up or down to back to menu
Anyone knows why?
I am S-OFF and my bootloader is UNLOCKED

[Solved]
whats the meaning of the code? this is my second M9, after my old s-off M9 got replaced with a new one. but I am beginning tp suspect that the second new one is a dud also. So
this new device is LOCKED, S-On, Original firmware, stock recovery, not rooted.
So updated to 2.9.710.5 all ok
but problem : won't update to 2.10.710.x
it always fails. (It want take ota's to Marshmallow)
I tried flash Official OTAs via stock recovery via phone and sdcard both failed and got this strange error each time (image below)
tried official 0PJAIMG. zip via sd card method (so that I could try do all updates again) and got same/similar error messages.
anyone know what it means?
Any solution to get official OTA.
also If I S-off this phone and flash another firmware will it solve?
note- if i reboot, it just reboots back into 2.9.xxx.xx firmware and rom seems fine, just not able to update..
I had similar issues. Try RUU.EXE from HTC's website. Try it on Windows 7 computer. For some reason it didn't work my laptop with windows 8

there is no rru. exe for this firmware.
my question is do you know the meaning of the code in my screenshot? i trued run rru 0PJAIMG zip file same issie.
Sorry I don't know what that error means
(Solved) I used this (thanks to @Flippy498) google spreadsheet found the correct 0PJAIMG for this same rom/firmware (couldn't find it before) here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15K6xhb6wtosp9j8yu4xHBZ6n9v5OaFSW6ZVWxC4u_qc/pubhtml# renamed it 0PJAIMG.zip, put into external SD card , then powerdown and re-booted into bootloader mode , then clicked vol up button to agree "OK" flash firmware/rom. (I think the original firmware software was a bit corrupted so device could not take stock updates nor manual ota's automatically...and the mistake I made was I used an older 0PJAIMG.zip version the first time because I had correct region/cid but was not able to locate exact software version to reinstall 0PAGIMG file .....but i still dont know the exact meaning of the code in my initial screenshot).
TL: DR
Anyhow on 2.10.xxx.x now so continueing to marshmallow hopefully.

You are S-Off, so instead of running an RUU, you can flash a no-wipe firmware package (an RUU will wipe your phone). With that information I can link you to a no-wipe firmware, with instructions to flash it.
Thanks, but I don't want to change CID to Verizon. It's a GSM phone, not CDMA. It's unlocked (617). But I do understand the confusion. The HTC Dev site downloads an RUU that is seemingly for Verizon even though it's listed under the Unlocked Phone section.
Thanks. Bootload mode shows CID as BS_US001, MID as 2PS650000 and OS as 2.51.617.32. I have tried to flash (using both TWRP and Fastboot) a no-wipe firmware (namely PMEWL_2.51.617.32_NoWipe_TWRP3110) but it hasn't returned me to stock. Nothing takes and the only thing I can do to revive the phone is reflash (using TWRP) the Viper10 rom. I can live with the Viper10 rom but I'd like to return to stock so I can get HTC OTA, etc. I figure the most likely way to accomplish this is to use the HTC Dev RUU but, as mentioned, it never gets past the InstallShield Wizard.
Interesting that the Bootloader shows a different OS version than checking through the phone's software. In any event, I am definitely running Viper10 and it uses an older Build as its base.

Software in setting> about is your ROM base, OS in download mode is your firmware version.
Do you have HTC Sync installed on your PC? Try uninstalling it and running the RUU again. You could also try running it while your phone is booted to download mode.
Yup, I've installed fresh drivers via HTC Sync and the PC recognizes the phone no problem.
ADB and fastboot also see the phone. I've tried the RUU in download mode,
bootloader and even OEM rebootRUU. Nada. In all cases the RUU InstallShield Wizard starts and then stops when it reaches the end of the progress bar. It never even gets to the actual RUU install routine (which I've used in the past with my HTC M9, so I know how it works when it flashes correctly). I'm running out of ideas. I'm happy with Viper10, if I can't get back to stock.
Try this https://www.reddit.com/r/htc/comments/2vxite/ruu_exe_file_doesnt_load_closes/colxuoy/
I've had the same problem while running on win 10 ltsb 2016 and this seemed to fix the problem.

If your OS says 2.51.617.32, then you are on the latest firmware now. Seems like the no-wipe firmware worked after all. The firmware won't return you to stock.
If you want to go back to stock and not just update your firmware, you could try flashing a 2.51.617.32 RUU.zip via your extSD instead of running the RUU.exe.
I can upload the RUU.zip if you need it.
Thanks again for the help. I have the following RUU downloaded from the HTC Dev site: RUU_PERFUME_WL_N70_SENSE80GP_VZW_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_2.51.617.32
I also found what I believe is the ZIP version of that RUU: 2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_N70_SENSE80GP_VZW_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_2.51.617.32
I've tried both running the RUU.exe and flashing the ZIP from my externalSD. No luck with either. Viper10 stays stubbornly stuck as my ROM. If you have a better ZIP, I'd be happy to try that too.
Thanks. I saw this suggestion as well in my hunt for a solution.
I've reloaded every.... possible... redistributable... with no success.
At least my C++ Visual Studio redistributables are up to date.
I can't even get the the license acceptance screen on the RUU install wizard.
I crash out before then.
Thanks. I found the same suggestion in my hunt for a solution.
I've updated every single redistributable... with no success. At least my PC is up-to-date with C++ Visual Studio. :-/

First of all, you should use the reply/quote button when responding to a comment. It makes it easier to tell who you are replying to, and who you are replying to will get a notification about it.
Okay, delete any RUU.zips you already have on your ext SD
Download this
Rename it by deleting everything in the name of the .zip except for 2PS6IMG (and .zip of course) and place it onto your ext SD card
Boot to download mode and your phone will recognize the .zip and prompt you to press volume up to confirm the flash. Do that
When the flash is complete your phone will ask you to press power to reboot. Do that
After the RUU has flashed, either delete the .zip or rename it again to something else (add _2.51.617.32 to the name so you know what it is). If you don't do that, every time you boot to download mode your phone will try to update again.
Good luck!

Tada! That worked. I was able to flash the ZIP you sent and restored to stock 2.51.617.32. I still have no idea why the RUU exe file won't work but as usual there is more than one way to skin a cat -- or in this case, flash an HTC 10. Also not sure why prior attempts to flash a ZIP from the external SD didn't work.
Thanks for all your help (and patience).

That is the RUU I linked.
You could get the RUU.exe that you can run from your PC from HTC's official US website here.
But if you want to flash from SD that's the one. It works with S-On as well.

Hey guys,
After getting overwhelming reading on forums only to get my self confused at the end. Most threads I came across is last edited in 2016. Therefore I am little skeptical about moving forward.
Bottomline problem, Phone is fully working with PixelExperience ROM installed ( Clean flash) at the moment. BUT IT DOES NOT DETECT SIM CARD.
Model : HTC 10
Android Version : 9
Kernel Version : 3.18.120-IceMan-CAF-LA.UM.7.5
The phone was bought unlocked from HTC.
I have bootloader unlocked, but S-on.
TWRP version 3.3.1 (as of July 22-2019)
Upon reading many thread, It boils down to that I need to RUU in order to get my radio back working. (SIM card detection)
now RUU will not work unless I have S-off, in order to get S-off in need to pay sunshine fee.
Now sunshine needs device to be rooted.
My device is never rooted before, now rooting device has choices, something called SuperSu or Magisk etc.
this is where I am super confused.
I need help before I move on.
My understanding is
step 1: root the device as I already have bootloader unlocked. and TWRP installed and working.
Step 2 : get the S-off by paying sunshine fee
Step 3 : RUU the zip to go back to stock!! ( here also one more question , my kernel is already latest what does RUU do? will it downgrade? )
Step 4 : insert sim and use the Phone as intended !!!(lol)
Please help, I am having nightmare.

You need an ruu for your specific device model.

Do you see it say FIRMWARE.. that's not an ruu.
Firmware is a way of updating from say N to P without needing to flash entire ruu.
Firmware is in the ruu along with system, boot, recovery..

3.16.617.2 = us unlocked
Simply find the 3.16.617.2 RUU and flash it.
Here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850487062
This will wipe internal storage..
How to install:
Option 1 - PERSONALLY SUGGESTED
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

Respected Andybones,
I cannot thank you enough sir. After struggling for almost 48 hours. reading a lot threads. Sleepless nights. Finally my Phone is Back to Stock!!
(I am certainly hoping that it would now see the SIM card. I have to go to At&t store tomorrow to get my IMEI into their system.)
I just want to borrow your brain for few more questions.
I noticed that I am on Android 8 now.
Does this mean, My bootloader is locked again? TWRP is gone?
Can I install custom ROM?
Finally, what caused such issue? I do not understand what happened?
If you own HTC 10, what rom do you recommend? I used LinageOS.
Let me know,
Sincerely,

You're so very welcome.
Trust me, I know how tough it can be to fully understand an htc device and it's workings. Once you start to get into it like you have now, I'm sure you came out with some knowledge, so I'm more than happy to help.
I didn't realize you were still on Android 7. You're on 8 now because the RUU I gave you was android 8.(don't try and downgrade. You can but it's not as easy as flashing the android 7 ruu)
The ruu contains everything to make your device stock again, including stock system, stock kernel, stock recovery.
Flashing ruu doesn't touch an soff flag nor bootloader lock.(boot on into download mode and check it out). But even if it did lock it, which won't ever happen, you can always re-unlock bootloader.
It's only us Verizon users who suffer by blocking us from unlocking. NOT COOL VERIZON!!!
You just need to flash twrp again (get latest version), then flash roms as you desire.
I suggest any recent Pie rom. Thanks to dev Fagyi he has really made this phone great again. He maintains Stock lineage 16 is awesome, and theirs a few roms out based on his lineage, including my crdroidandroid rom. Also Fagyi has I think 2 roms based on AOSP rather lineage.
If you want Sense then LeeDroid is the ROM you want.
I'm actually not too sure what caused the sim issue unfortunately. I do have faith that att can get it going for you tmw. Fingers are crossed my friend.
Please keep me posted. :good:

Respected Andybones,
This is just an update. Please give me your input whenever u get a chance. Here is what happened.
My phone got back to stock succefully. I noticed it did not touch the bootloader. it was still unlocked. S-on. I successfully flashed TWRP again. All went well. Next day morning I was supposed to go to ATT store and get phone working. but I could not wait till morning. That night I flashed the phone with Pixel Experience again, as I thought my radio should be working now. ( I think I should have waited. Not sure why?)
So once again, I have perfectly working phone with Pixel Experience rom on it. but yet again it does not detect SIM card. The difference between stock and this rom is, STock was showing bars on top. at least detecting no cellular network. This is my uneducated guess!! lol
I am one-more time going to RUU with your zip. restore back to stock and shall see what happens. ( I know I should have waited before I flashed with PE)
Just to confirm and make sure.. I believe am currently on Oreo Firmware as the OS - 3.16.617.2 ( displays on download mode)
I think I should still be fine with the RUU zip you gave me.

Hey man, I don't think it's any issue you flashed pixel experience. You can always just reflash the ruu and get back to stock. Unfortunately, it could be a physical issue with the sim not getting detected but since stock showed bars, I think you need a new att sim card possibly.
But yes you may flash that same ruu and any that are x.xx.617.x and up. But I think the one I gave is the newest.
.617 refers to your device.
Mine for example (Verizon) is .605
Hope I've been of help. :good:

Your guess was right. Does not seem like ROM issue. It now seems like hardware issue. I may have missed to connect an antenna properly. Or Something got damaged. I cannot say for sure.
I am now on market to for new phone at an odd time of the year !!!
I must thanks again for all your replies and answers with patience.
