I am on CWS__001 and old bootloader with a custom rom. The phone has unlocked bootloader with S-off. I would like to install CM12.1 which is asking me to upgrade to 3.19 bootloader.
Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to upgrade the bootloader to 3.19? What I understood is I need to relock the bootloader and flash the HTC firmware. If you can confirm and point me to the right firmware and relock, would greatly appreciate it.

This thread should help you since you're s-off...

I had the same issue. I got the 4.20.531.4 RUU to run no problem. I just took the OTA when I kept getting 155 error.

No clue... has anyone installed via RUU successfully?

Same problem. Any help?

I had the same issue and screwed around with it for hours trying to figure it out. Ended up flashing this firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686131
then rerunning the RUU. Went through fine. Not saying it will work for you, but it worked for me.

I'm stock 5.0.2 with S-On and have never been rooted or unlocked the bootloader (my mother in laws phone) and I get this same error 155 when trying to use the RUU for Marshmallow that I downloaded from HTC. I think the problem is because the OTA that pops up is to prep for Marshmallow but after it installs and reboots it soft bricks the phone and I have to do a factory reset from the bootloader which causes the OTA to never finish so I'm screwed, any ideas?

Flash signed firmware 6.20.531.5 from here (instruction on how to flash at the bottom of the post), then RUU.
The post before yours has it right. But the unsigned firmware linked in that post will only work with s-off. The signed firmware I linked to will work with s-on.

Thank you so much, I'll try that!

I flashed the signed 6.20.531.5 following the instructions from the link and then used the MM RUU again and it finally worked! Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot, it's worked for my HTC One M8.
:good:

I flashed the signed firmware and it worked thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

I hate to be one of those, but I really can't get passed the white screen

I used to know more but I am a little rusty. I had the phone sitting for few months now and now when I wanted to use it again it got stock on the viper rom boot icon .
I tried reinstalling the rom but it's not working. I saw a thread about a RUU but I don't think it was the right one for me, it did go through.
So here I am, bagging for help!!

Meaning what? Did it flash successfully or not? If it flashed successfully, you just get stuck on the boot screen again?

So the RUU installed with no errors, but the phone still won't boot (stuck on boot screen again)?

Yes that is correct, I installed RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined
no errors, but is getting stuck on the white htc one screen.
Before that Viper rom was installed, so my first move was to reinstall that one.
What are your thoughts?

A short update
I tried installing GPE from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65021290&postcount=1085
And not it doesn't go pass the weird google boot...
Could it be a hardware problem and not software?

is that meaning RUU or just a firmware package ??
try kitkat or lollipop stock RUU
if that's not helping to boot the device or it booted with K or L RUUs then most definatly it's not a software problem

I tried both and nothing seems to work... thanks for the answer ahmed

Trying multiple RUU (which installed with no errors) and also custom ROMs, and no boot; to me implies a hardware failure (emmc failure?).

Not sure what emmc is but from what I saw it's not cheap haha
I though about changing the mini motherboard, the one that has the power bottom. I bought it for another m8 that I had but the phone ended up with a broken screen before I had time to replace the motherboard.
It does't seem like worth repairing if it is emmc
I went back to an old htc one x

Broken processor/softbricked?

So, I got an HTC One M8 of a friend of mine. I tried to repair the phone as it was in a bootloop. However, even after installing several different roms it wouldn't start. I noticed another strange thing; Whenever I want to go from the bootloader to recovery, it takes absolutely ages (read: 10-15 minutes) to actually get to this. I tried it with a custom recovery as well as the stock recovery. This makes me think it has something to do with the CPU?
So far I've tried different ROMs, a nandroid backup, updating my firmware and (unsuccesfully) finding a RUU file for my HTC M8. I have included the getvar information for further possible details:

I posted the getvar in another thread in which other people also posted theirs, so I accidentally copied someone else's info!
And I was afraid of that as I have been looking for it as well... Is there maybe a generic RUU file that works for most m8 devices?

no every device variant have it's own RUU ( available or not )
your best solution ( i'm afraid it's the only ) is to restore a stock backup then flash the signed firmware

yea, just tried this again, didn't work, was stuck again on the o1ne screen after the vodafone logo. after installing a custom rom (android revolution HD 53.1) it was also stuck on the same screen. the last time it was stuck on this screen, it didn't get any further after a full 8+ hours of waiting. I waited for an hour on both flashings, but nothing at all...
Thanks for assisting me so far anyway

bump!
I really would want to use this phone...

First of All: Thank You very much.
What if i want to install Nougat. How should i proceed? The shortest way?

The shortest way is bit complicated as it will involve more steps.
The easiest way :
1. Do the above
2. Re unlock bootloader
3. Install TWRP 3.1.0.0
4. Install nougat ROM
