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

What's your actual firmware version? (The one that is stated in Download Mode in the line with "OS" at the beginning?)
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

This might be the RUU you need. (2.11.617.15) Its a newer version of 2.8.617.4

Thanks. So does it matter if I am s-on and locked bootloader?
Also, I have an SD card so that's good.

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

If you met all the conditions listed by @Flippy498 in post #11 it will work just fine

Odd question but I have the Developer edition. I use it on T-mobile and just out of curiosity was wondering if it's possible to convert it to a T-mobile variant. I mostly am wondering because of wifi calling and volte. I know most people want to do the opposite, but I figured I'd ask. If it's possible to convert a T-mobile version to developer than I figured it could be done the other way. Any info would be much appreciated! Thank you!

You sure can. S-Off using sunshine. Change the mid to 0PJA12000 and cid to T-MOB010. Then flash the official Tmobile ruu from http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...01_81.03.50702G_F_release_445023_signed_2.exe

As long as you don't root (or touch the system partition), you'd get OTA's from T-mobile automatically.

I agree with effortless I have done this with both of my m9's. What I did was after s-off and bootloader unlock I changed mid and cid. But instead of flashing the RUU right away I flashed the 1.32 no-wipe firmware from here. after that I ran the 1.32 RUU and after that I accepted the ota.
Not only will you get the volte and wifi calling but my reception went from 3 bars to full bars. was definitely worth the headache.

So let me make sure I got everything I need to do.
1. I should be able to root because the bootloader should already be unlocked so root the phone.
2. S_off using sunshine
3. Change mid and cid with a pc
4. use the file from the google drive link and flash that from download mode
I miss anything?

Use ext sd when flashing much easier and safer
My HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM,
1. does not boot normally,
2. only boots into FASTBOOT page,
3. in FASTBOOT page I can select and enter Hboot page,
4. in Hboot menu, when I select RECOVERY, or FACTORY RESET, it returns only to FASTBOOT page.
5. as the attachment shows, there is nothing written in front of "OS-"; it is blank.
Questions:
1. In these conditions, is it possible to flash the ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
2. Is it not necessary to flash stock recovery, wipe some partitions, etc first, and only then proceed to flashing ZIP ROM from sdcard via Hboot?
Hi
I have the same problem as you only my. HTC is the sIngle sim A5-UL Version.
So far I have not had any replies regarding the problem.

It should be but you will need to have the stock recovery reinstalled by first unlocking your bootloader then flashing back your stock recovery then relock bootloader and then flash the RUU or stock zip file thru either ADB /fastboot on your computer or via SD card and renaming the image OP9CIMG and hboot should pick it up and flash it automatically. Did you accidentally wipe your system or try to flash something that corrupted it? In other words what happened before all this? We're you rooted with a custom recovery or still on stock?

Because my phone has behaved abnormally (OS- is blank, as attachment shows; unlocking bootloader did not show Yes or No page; and other abnormalities), I am not sure whether to download a file over 1.20GB, or not? I am afraid about failure! Is not my phone in a situation that needs some preparations before doing what you said?
Hi
Thanks for reply. I was attempting to go back to stock and had installed stock recovery and then relocked the bootloader and when i tried to install the RUU it said it was the wrong one.
I then tried the Hboot way but received the same error. I need to find several RUUs to be able to find the correct version for my 816 which i believe is Asian but not sure where.

Oh, ok I get it now. Think the forum I linked you to was for the European a5_ul. Here's a link to some a5_ul roms kitkat and lollipop. I see one of the lollipop versions is Asia. Try to match your CID and version ID or at least your radio ID's before flashing it. "fastboot getvar all" will give you most of that info but it looks like that might be your firmware. Also make sure you relocked your bootloader before flashing. Good luck

Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of doing something to your phone but those pictures don't show me any of that. It just shows that you seem to no longer have an OS with your lack of a CID and something happened to cause this. It's not about finger pointing but getting the issue resolved for you I know. As for helping you unlock your bootloader the method is pretty straight forward and if it didn't work for whatever reason the only real advice I can give is to just try it again. That's how I unlocked mine so maybe it was just a glitch and another attempt will work. For now I'm more concerned that you didn't wipe anything yet your recovery and firmware seen too be missing or at least inaccessible from your bootloader. The factory reset was going to be my first suggestion but since your already done that have you tried to enter your recovery thru ADB/fastboot? (fastboot reboot recovery.) The other thing is what region are you in( India, Asia, European) and does " fastboot getvar all" work from using ADB? Also if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions for you and restore your rom. Also were you on kitkat or lollipop stock rom?

Yeah I've never heard of that version before. I only found one link here below that even mentions that CID but no solution. If you haven't flashed the one I linked I'd try it anyway because as long as your S on the signed rom won't flash if it's the wrong one but if your sure it's wrong then save the data hit to your ISP cap. Sorry I wasn't of more help to you.

You are being kind to me by trying to resolve my problem.
1. I tried again but it did not help.
2. I will try "fastboot reboot recovery", and tell you about the result.
3. Through online chat I gave my IMEI to HTC middle east and they told me that my Software Version is 2.34.401.2.
4. " fastboot getvar all" works.
5. You said "if your OS is wiped then any RUU flash will reformat your partitions". Can we be sure that it is wiped? If we can not be sure, is it necessary to do wipes and formats?
6. I was on Lollipop. 5.0.2.
Since you never unlocked the bootloader before, flashing the stock rom(ruu) should work. Give it a shot. Just make sure you flash the same Android version that you had before as downgrading might not work.

1. That's fine. For now it's OK that it's locked. It's only if your stock recovery is gone that you would need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery zip file that you would need to find and flash. Hopefully it's still there just inaccessible for now.
2. Just an idea to verify your recovery is still there
3. OK then that's the firmware you want to flash or higher version
4. From that it should have your CID and version ID but if it's corrupted or wiped it may not show. Those 2 are what you usually use to verify the firmware your flashing is the correct version for your region. You can also verify your radio ID as well as most firmware zips show those numbers as well.
5. It's OK an RUU file will reformat everything and bring it all back to stock. It has all the images in it (radio, system, recovery etc.)
6. That's good. Just make sure you flash that version or higher as going down in firmware isn't possible without S off. If you flash the wrong firmware then the signed RUU shouldn't flash.
Also what region are you in ( India, Asia, Europe?) your phones firmware (CID is your carriers region) that you flash needs to match you're CID.

1. That's fine. For now it's OK that it's locked. It's only if your stock recovery is gone that you would need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery zip file that you would need to find and flash. Hopefully it's still there just inaccessible for now.
2. Just an idea to verify your recovery is still there
3. OK then that's the firmware you want to flash or higher version
4. From that it should have your CID and version ID but if it's corrupted or wiped it may not show. Those 2 are what you usually use to verify the firmware your flashing is the correct version for your region. You can also verify your radio ID as well as most firmware zips show those numbers as well.
5. It's OK an RUU file will reformat everything and bring it all back to stock. It has all the images in it (radio, system, recovery etc.)

1. How did you know that the stock recovery is "still there just inaccessible for now"?
2. I will try after 35 hours from now.
4. INFOmodelid: 0P9C70***

The picture attached to original post shows: RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO

About region: my CID is HTC_J15. And as my search shows, 401 (in my Software Version 2.34.401.2) means Europe.

1. I don't know it's still there that's why I used the word "hopefully. " You should be glad that you can still get into your bootloader because without that access your phone is an expensive paper weight. Thanks for the other info. It's exactly what you need to know to find and flash your firmware.

You said rename the file to "0P9CIMG.zip".
As getvar shows, my phone's exact modelid is: 0P9C70***
So what is the principle according to which the file should be renamed? that is, what characters of MID should be mentioned before .zip?

If "fastboot reboot recovery" cannot work, it means that I have lost stock recovery.
1. Am I right?
2. If it is not there, is it still possible to flash the rom? Or I must first flash the stock recovery?
3. Is possible lacking of stock recovery what prevents the phone from showing Yes or No page ("Unlocking bootloader?" page)
4. Is it possible just to flask stock recovery for now and leave flashing ROM to some time later?

1. Or it's corrupted but it could still be there.
2. Usually you need to flash back the stock recovery but I've heard of people flashing over their custom recovery with an RUU(rom utility upgrade) and the RUU replaced everything including the stock recovery which is in the file.
3. Not 100% sure on that one. The bootloader is a separate kernel provided with every Android OS so the recovery is separate from it. That one I can't figure out as when you were trying to unlock your bootloader you're firmware was fine at that time I assume. That's the strange part.

You seem to mean I have had problem with unlocking bootloader when my phone was normal.
No. I did not try then. Only after problem I tried unlocking. Please read my post: No "Yes or No" page when Unlocking bootloader! http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...via-htcdev-t3316781/post65371393#post65371393

Hi
Again thanks for the reply.
My 816 A5UL is Asia-HK-CHT
CID-622
I cannot find a RUU that matches.
I believe the Rom could be OPc21000
Which i cannot find anywhere.

What is your "getvar all" information?
(Perhaps I can be able to give you some points.)
I have gone back to stock also back to S on, that part was by mistake. I don't seem to have any recoveries either, I just get the red exclamation mark when I boot to recovery. I have tried to flash both stock and TWRP but get the same error message.
FAILED cannot flash this partition in s-on state.
This happens with both stock and TWRP recoveries.
Has anyone seen this before and what steps can I do to make it work?

Just flash any RUU to begin with. That will at least give you a recovery. Your only choice is an RUU at this point. (that matches your CID/MID) You are softbricked for sure right now. Sounds like you re-locked your bootloader as well as you are s-on. Otherwise you'd be able to flash a recovery.

There is no RUU for Europe, as far as I know. I have restored the phone earlier and am able to boot it up and use it normally. It's just that I cannot instal a recovery no matter what.

Try using sunshine to s-off

I've thought of that. I originally used sunshine to go S-off and had a chat with them earlier and went S-on, accidentally. As I've paid for Sunshine once, do I have to pay again. I'm on the same phone so hopefully not.
The sunshine faq states that you can reuse the same license you purchased as long as you're on the same phone. So installing sunshine again should do the trick

Thanks for that, I did the sunshine again and went for unlocked S-off. I have now installed TWRP 3026 and downloading Viperrom 3.4 to install. I did have a full backup but formatted my SD card so I've got to start again.
Umm the red exclamation mark is stock recovery. You have to press a combination of buttons to enter it. I think its up and down on the volume
hi,
How can i go back stock rom (with boot, recovery, etc.) from Viper 10 4.5.0?

Then just use the 1.95.401.5 stock signed ruu, only if your cid and mid match that is.

I downloaded it but it is not exe,
I dont know how zip files can be installed since its S-ON and OS version is different between my phone and downloaded file.

No it's not an exe, it says it's a zip. Zip ruu's can be placed on the root of your external SD renamed appropriately and flashed in bootloader. Just do a little searching for flashing ruu via SD card method and it'll give you the file name it needs to be renamed to.

Pretty sure you can only flash signed firmware with s-on and you are.
You can only flash the same or higher firmware also.

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.
