You have to relock the bootloader :
"fastboot oem lock"
Then "fastboot reboot"
and run the RUU as administrator.

Flashing a radio won't wipe your device.
Copy the img to your adb folder, enter your phone in fastboot mode, connect your phone to pc with usb cable, open a command window in your adb folder and type: fastboot flash radio radio.img*
or in this case: radio_firmware.img
and fastboot reboot.

Just rooted/s-off my device and decided to factory reset it to start using it for regular usage. I accidentally clicked erase internal storage in tmrp recovery and deleted the whole os on the phone as well. Is there any way to side load a rom with recovery to get the phone to boot up again or is my phone practically a brick till a RUU is released. Anyway I can sideload you backup? This has never happened to me some I'm nervous as hell
Has anyone have success pushing the radio.img ,I'm at work now so I can't test it.
Update: I get a message" FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

Day 2 with my T-Mobile M8 and I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, and attempted to S-off with no luck as Firewater doesn't work with all HTC One M8's at the moment. So my bootloader says **Tampered** and **Unlocked** ... Still S-On
It wasn't until after that I noticed I have a defective display and have to take the device back. Read the OP and I'm not 100% clear what I need to do to get my unit back to 100% stock with the bootloader back to normal. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

In the OP you'll find the stock TWRP nandroid backup and the stock recovery.
Download the nandroid backup,extract it and copy it to the twrp folder in the sdcard then restore it via TWRP recovery.
Download the stock recovery and flash it via fastboot, the command is: fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery".img
Then lock the bootloader via fastboot too. The command is: fastboot oem lock
That's it, should be good to go.

This is what I did,
I'm running froyo and and decided to update on GB(via ota) then after updating successfully it only boots on lockscreen and after few sec it'll restart on its own, then same thing happened after i pulled out battery, it always restarts.
I tried to access its H-Boot this is what I get:

then I tried to bring it back via RUU that I saw in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
by this : RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe
actual:
then I got this msg:
after that I tried to restart the phone and it freezes to HTC logo:
that's the last thing I did.
What is the next step I'll probably do? the phone is still recognized by my computer.
my conclusion here is maybe I upgraded my Radio version, and there's no stock RUU for that radio since the stock RUU is froyo. I really don't know
sorry for my english
any help would be appreciated and a BIG BIG Thanks!!
That's a radio failure which is very hard to fix.
Keep flashing the 2.3 RUU until it works. Search for it and there were many similar issues earlier.

I think you flashed wrong RUU.
You should try RUU from this link:http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152
thanks for reply!
I tried to flash the official RRU from HTC site the ginger bread update.exe but I still got this:
I can still manage the hboot via fastboot through CMD,
I also tried to make a goldcard for this device but it failed to get the CID:
I'll upload the video of how I do this things just tell me what to next
any help will appreciated thankyou!!
Going deeper!!
so this is what i did on the fastboot.
RED BOX:
I tried to look for the devices attached on the PC that's what i got,
it supposed to show my device but it seem doesn't see my device.
YELLOW BOX:
but when I tried to command "reboot" the hboot it reboots the device,
I think some how it still recognized my device but for some reason idk
it fails to flash .img i get from this site: http://alpharev.nl/ (showed on GREEN BOX)
I'm still pursuing to fix this phone I know there's still hope, I can't say that
my device is Bricked or something like that, cuz I can still communicate
with the device through fastboot and RUU_bravo_update.exe files.
if someone can give me some already made goldcard.img from their devices,
please kindly give me a COPY of yours and I'll try to revive it via GOLDCARD.IMG
using your goldcard.img
"can use any other htc, dont need same one like i tought before" GoldCard Doesn't have to came from the same HTCdevice as stated in this thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/6314209-post16.html

Your phone's not detected because you need a running ROM for ADB, thus making s-off through revolutionary impossible.
Download the 2.3 RUU in my sig. It will come named as pb99img.zip. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, then boot in hboot, and select yes when prompted. It has a low chance of succeeding, but keep trying until it does.
Getting past a radio brick is very difficult. You need patience, perseverance and a lot of luck.
can you try to flash the official 2.3 upgrade pb99img.zip through fastboot RUU mode. upgrades everything. search for info how to do it its easy

Extract Boot image from OTA file and flash via fastboot
That's why i asked you : is there also a problem ? So then i hoped you would answer with yes, i can't use signal, mobile data and such.....
Return to your full stock rom and indeed flash the boot.img. that OTA can't be flashed as a firmware. It's done via the recovery but if it involves a hboot upgrade it's also not possible in that way.
What you can do is flash the firmware.zip that is located inside the OTA. The OTA itself is not a firmware only !
And when you install the stock rom and flashed the firmware and the imei stays away you can't fix this at home, that needs some jtag solution that is not really accessible for the "normal" user at home. You need a repair shop or HTC for that.

That's why i asked you : is there also a problem ? So then i hoped you would answer with yes, i can't use signal, mobile data and such.....
Return to your full stock rom and indeed flash the boot.img. that OTA can't be flashed as a firmware. It's done via the recovery but if it involves a hboot upgrade it's also not possible in that way.
What you can do is flash the firmware.zip that is located inside the OTA. The OTA itself is not a firmware only !
And when you install the stock rom and flashed the firmware and the imei stays away you can't fix this at home, that needs some jtag solution that is not really accessible for the "normal" user at home. You need a repair shop or HTC for that.

Mr.Hof , yesturday i took it to one mobile repairing shop and he said there is no jtag solution for this model is that true ?
If he can't s-off the device than its true. The partitions that needs rewriting are locked and you need a-off to reach it. And writing an imei just like that is illegal.....

Are you read what he say or just give one idea in the black hole. He have problem with the recovery not the nandroid he not restore it and why the hell to flash the boot.img from nandroid when he not restore it. He can't go in recover!
I have an htc one m7 for verizon. ulocked bootloader and s-off. For some reason recovery software will not load. I have tried every way possible to flash twrp and cwm. they just will not load. Anyway I was able to install a RUU file through fastboot. So since I can not get into twrp or cwm to try out different roms, is there custom roms is ruu format?.
I would really like to install NuSense 8.0. Anyone have it in ruu?

For some reason your recovery partition is not getting written into. please double check that your bootloader is unlocked and you are S-off. if so then try the following options.
Via apps like flashify, rom toolbox pro try to flash the recovery image.
or via fastboot,
fastboot erase recovery (optional)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I have flashed several versions via flashify and fastboot. None of them load even though they flash with no errors. I also flashed an ruu of twrp that said it installed and still can not load recovery. It tries the screen says entering recovery then goes black then right back to the entering recovery screen. The phone will stay on that screen until I power it down.
can you link me to the recovery you are trying to install?

Perform this command in terminal, with device in fastboot:

You then should be able to boot to your custom recovery.

I looked up supercid. Yeah the person who sold it to me on eBay must have done that. Twrp was working. I did recently convert the phone from a silver case to a red one. I wonder if that has something do with it not loading. Everything on the phone works accept the recovery.

Here is a link to the latest version I have tried. This one too will not load.......
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7vzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-m7wlv.img
This is so frustrating. I have tried all the suggestions and my phone will not load recovery. Thank You to everyone's input, for now the only way for me to try something new is to install via fastboot and the rom update utility. This makes no sense because twrp was working fine, I had NuSense 7.8. I saw an update to 8.0. I downloaded NuSense 8.0 and went to load twrp and it would not load. So I tried all the suggestions on here still not loading. I then Installed the ruu file that keeps me rooted and s-off kitkat 4.4.3. That worked and wiped the phone. Ok now that the phone is completely wiped and brand new install, twrp should work. NO still not loading. I should have stuck with NuSense 7.8......
Here is a picture of what happens when I enter recovery from the bootloader..

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have.
My htc M8 was rooted and insertcoin was flashed onto it however the wifi button greyed out and wouldnt turn on in order to s-off it. I tried several different roms and they all have the same problem. I am currently running skydragon v5. I have been trying to sort this phone out for a week and I am getting absolutely nowhere so any help would be appreciated. It's on ORANG001 and is s-on.
Thanks
You have old firmware. You need to have 4.19.61.2 on ORANG001 in order to have wifi on these ROM.
And you post this in wrong section.

Apologies, new to the forum it's been moved now!
Yeah .. requested it to be moved to correct section.
So .. you need to restore your stock ROM and do OTA up to 4.19.61.2
What's your current firmware version .. 3.33.61.9 or 2.26.61.1 ? Or even lower ?
Check what's written on bootloader - hboot 3.16 or 3.18 .. you need 3.19

This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).
Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.
And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but not ROM).

Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.
Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?
You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).

Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.
You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.
You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.
when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again

Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now
Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.
Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
Let the system do the installation on its own

Don't have your model 816, mine is single SIM a5_chl but this forum link had some answers for someone else with your model. Luckily your not really "hard bricked" because you can still enter hboot/fastboot but I understand why you say that. Hard bricked is when your phone is literally an expensive paperweight. Luckily you still have access to your boatloader and that's where most problems can get fixed. By the way what specifically happened that caused this issue? You're boatloader is locked and your not rooted so pure stock right with stock recovery but you can't get into recovery?

Also if you press the power button to select hboot you should go to fastboot mode where you can use volume key to select recovery then press power button to enter.
Below is a link to stock RUU's for yours and other models but you'll need stock recovery installed and working before they can be run. Hopefully your stock recovery is still there just need a different way to enter it i.e. Boatloader or key presses. Only flash your specific versions firmware.Try the one your were currently on before trying one older.

Don't have your model 816, mine is single SIM a5_chl but this forum link had some answers for someone else with your model. Luckily your not really "hard bricked" because you can still enter hboot/fastboot but I understand why you say that. Hard bricked is when your phone is literally an expensive paperweight. Luckily you still have access to your boatloader and that's where most problems can get fixed. By the way what specifically happened that caused this issue? You're boatloader is locked and your not rooted so pure stock right with stock recovery but you can't get into recovery?

So you went into fastboot mode and when you press your power button to select hboot what happens?
Below is a link to a forum for the a5_ul with a link to the stock recovery. Verify this is your version then try flashing it using ADB/fastboot on your P.C. and your phone in fastboot mode. Do you have USB debugging selected in your phone developer options settings?

Did you have the HTC drivers installed on your P.C. or Linux computer?
flashing it using SDK Toolkit /ADB fastboot is doing it manually. The other method is to name the file a specific way so that your phone recognizes it but I have never used this method before. I downloaded the portion of the SDK Toolkit I needed, ADB/fastboot and had the HTC Windows drivers installed from HTC sync manager then put the recovery zip file into my ADB folder in my P.C. then opened command prompt from my ADB folder and typed fastboot flash recovery"name of zip file".img with my phone in fastboot and it flashed. This is what you should try and I'll link some instructions below. Good luck.
http://androidforums.com/threads/cd...ry-image-via-fastboot-or-from-sd-card.385358/
Also if ADB isn't recognizing your phone and you do have the drivers installed then it may be because of what's happened to your phone and then you would need to try and flash from your SD card with the file properly named for your version so that fastboot on your phone will recognize and flash it. I don't know what the proper name is for your version but a lot of the time it's already properly named. How did you lose your recovery in the first place with a locked boatloader and no root?
I must be getting tired. I believe you need an unlocked boatloader to flash a recovery image so you might not be able to flash it. If you can't get into your recovery thru H boot, press power button, volume button to select recovery, enter by pressing power button, then your going to need to flash the stock RUU or zip file with the stock recovery included in the file as you can flash an RUU with the boatloader locked. The issue is will the signed file recognize your firmware as it is now and flash? Wish this was my expertise but I've only flashed RUU files to start my devices clean again not to fix a problem.
nd if im not usb debugged because dont see adb devices only fastboot recognize my device ;[[[ im in big stuck ... i'll say again LOCKED , S-ON , MAYBE NO USB DEBUGGING , STUCK IN BOOTLOADER , AND RUU SAYS MAIN VERSION OLDER ;[

I know my friend I read it the first time and I understand all that. I'd try the flash with your recovery zip and see if that works. If not then you'll need to flash stock RUU's until you find one that will work but only ones meant for your version . Did you click that one link I gave that was to a forum here in XDA because that forum looked like it was very similar to your problem ?

Download the zip from the thread
Rename it to 0P9CIMG.zip
Copy it to your sdcard
Put the sdcard into your phone
Boot into HBoot, it will recognize an update and confirm
After this, you will be on stock kitkat, but you can make upgrade to lollipop
I'm uploading a RUU for this device right now.
I'll send you a pm once it's done
Do you need Stock recovery too?

Thanks for the assist TobiBot. I don't have this version of phone and didn't catch this forum link when I was looking thru XDA. O.P. says he is flashing this way and not from ADB/fastboot and still keeps getting the" older version" notice. I read the whole forum you linked to and found this a few pages in. His radio I.D. is invalid in Getvar all he posted so maybe your suggestion combined with the above posters quote he can make it work. Hopefully just the fix you linked to will do it but if not this might get him the rest of the way.

yes it does, but when u are using it it wont show u successfuly changed and u can not view current main version from it. but command "misctool w 1.00.000.0" does what it is supposed to. I tested on a5_ul with 4.4.2 and 5.0.2

The last quote above from the Misctool suggestion. Never tried it or heard of it but all options should be looked at to fix O.P.'s problem. Hopefully the last poster's help fixes it and this idea is moot but at least it's linked here for the next guy.
Good luck pipaigoleko !
