[Q] Help Needed - Currently Bricked HTC One X

Hi guys,
I have had my HTC One X for over a year and love it. (This handset was a warranty replacement by Vodafone as the original failed on me!)
At the weekend the handset crashed (just froze when I had an app open), I left it for a while and then after 5 mins of waiting gave up and did a reset (Volume down and power for 10 seconds).
Since then it has been stuck in a loop with opening to just the bootloader.
It now also turns on as soon as connected to charge! Therefore to get any charge into the handset I am currently running the charging script via ADB:
@echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start​
I have read plenty of pages on here, so know what I should be doing (correct me if I'm wrong):
1. Unlock the Bootloader
2. Flash a recovery eg. Philz
3. Flash new ROM to restore handset to working operation.
I have tired both drivers suggested by people here and drivers from the HTC website both seem to allow my PC to talk to the handset via ADB and Fastboot.
My problem comes in that I cannot unlock the bootloader! I have tried at least 20 times to no avail! I have tried both getting new unlock_code.bin files from HTC to no luck. (One thing I have noted is that every time I get the handset to generate a request code its different, is this normal?)
The process I have tried is:
c:\HTC>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader)
(bootloader) < Please cut following message >

Stuck in Boot Menu - Unable to use RUU or fastboot flash

Backstory
Phone: HTC One M9 - Sprint
About a month ago an OTA update was pushed about. When the phone rebooted, it would repeatedly reboot. Eventually it would come to some screen asking for a PIN to undo some encryption. No encryption had ever been enabled on the phone. Switched to another phone and am now attempting to try and get this phone back working.
Current State
Phone boots to a screen that has a white background and says:
Code:
*** Software status: Official ***
*** Locked ***
*** S-ON ***
REBOOT
REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE
POWER DOWN
DOWNLOAD MODE say it fails and RECOVERY MODE says:
Code:
Failed to boot to recovery mode
Press volume up or down to back to menu
This build is for
development purposes only
Do not distribute outside of HTC

Failure to comply may
lead to legal action.
I downloaded RUU_HIMA_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.41.651.13.exe from HTC's page. When I ran it, it said the phone was under 30% battery. I hooked the phone up to a charger for a few hours and tried again with the same result.
I was looking for a way to bypass the battery check and just saw information regarding fastboot. I pulled the rom.zip file from HTC's RUU.
When I attempt to flash the phone with fastboot, it does this and hangs:
Code:
htc_fastboot v3.0.9.2 (2015-05-29)
target rom version: 3.41.651.13

I ran fastboot getvar all and it returns:

Also if I check getvar for battery-voltage, cid, or mid, the result is blank.
Any help in resolving this is much appreciated.

HTC One M9 bricked bootloop, bootloader unlocked, s-off... help!

Hello, first time poster. i flashed a rom viperone m9 6.2.0. after that, the bootloop started, when I enter recovery mode, the message appears "Keep System Read Only?", the all partitions can not be mounted, and the message shown in red is "Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)". When I try to format the partition: Formatting System using make_ext4fs..: Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument), and try to repair file system: Reparing System using e2fsck...: 7sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/mmcblk0p66 process ended with ERROR:8, Unable to repair System
I can enter into dowload mode, and try to install RUU.ZIP by the sdcard method and it does not work, then i try flash firmware with fastboot , but the bootloop started when rebootRUU

If you can't boot in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" the NAND is probably dead, I'm sorry...

Try to flash this ruu with unlocked bootloader, I'm not sure It'll work but I think you have the developer edition which comes with an unlocked bootloader.

This statement doesn't tell us anything. It's worth listing the things you tried to flash, and the specific results for each. Otherwise, we waste your time and ours, as we guess or assume what you tried and didn't try.
Did you try to flash custom recovery TWRP? If so, which version number? Did you get an error message, or what was the failure mode or other results?

The RUU which corresponds with your current firmware number (main version in getvar: 6.12.401.4) is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
You can try to flash using htc_fastboot per the instructions, or SD card method.
If you can't get the RUU to work, relock the bootloader, or flash TWRP, I agree that it's probably emmc failure.

Help me please.

Please don't post same question to multiple threads. It is against forum rules to do so, as it clutters up the forum, and makes it very confusing for those trying to help you.
I've tried to help you in one of the 3 threads you posted in. So go look for it (now you see one of the reasons why cross posting is not a good idea?).
