Help or Info Required with S-OFF and boot loader Locked - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Yesterday friend gave me his m8 with S-OFF but boot-loader locked. Want to flash TWRP but the commands failed. I heard that twrp can't be flashed with locked boot loader. So can I unlock it again using htc dev or it will cause problem? Or any other idea.
Phone is not running any OS stuck in boot loop.
'Thanks.
EDIT: OK SOLVED. Re-unlocked with htc dev and everything is fine. Twrp installed.

AFAIK you should be able to flash twrp with s-off&locked bootloader-only fails for s-on&locked bootloader
however you can just download a proper firmware package ( unsigned ) for your device variant
remove all the content except android-info.txt
then rename the twrp.img to recovery and zip both android-info and the recovery.img
rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and flash it in hboot
( put the zip in sd card formatted as fat32 then reboot to bootloader-hboot then it will ask you to update confirm it and you are done )
lock&unlock bootloader method but required root

also htc dev method should work fine but no need to unlock it imo

I see you've solved your issue. FYI, it's correct you cannot flash custom recovery (unsigned recovery image) with locked bootloader; and s-off does not bypass that restriction.

[Q] Bootloop, bricked

Hey, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed a CWM (That does not allow me to mount my phone storage to the PC), tried to flash 2 .zips (the Remove menu thingy, and the SuperSU V.0.87) and when i tried to do that it went in a bootloop(or bootstuck? gets to the "HTC One X - Beats Audio screen, and never gets any further) WHAT DO I DO? Help me please!
Hi, i did exactly the same thing and...i got the same result ....Please, anyone knows how to solve it???????
I am guessing you didnt take a backup in CWM prior to flashing the mods? If not, unfortunately, your only solution would be to bring it back to complete stock and flash the RUU that originally came loaded on your phone.
1) Flash stock recovery:
Grab it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579797
Then Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command (assuming that the offical recovery is named recovery.img): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) Relock Bootloader:
Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command: fastboot oem lock
3) Find and run/flash the RUU for your device, find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
Thanks!!!!! thank to you I managed to unlock my mobile
Can't really tell you what worked, i flashed my RUU but it failed, i tried flashing stock and all that (which i put on there beforehand as CWM can't mount the drive), but in the end it was just persistence that got it, so just keep trying!

I think the Menu removal caused bootloop. I don't have my PC with me if someone can upload the stock Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk you could replace that to boot it back again. If nothing works then download one of the Custom ROM (ARHD or LeeDroid) then wipe everything and flash that it should work for you.
End to unlock again?

You should have received a code from HTC when you unlocked, check your email for it. Then you place it in file with fastboot on computer, open cmd prompt, type in fastboot oem unlock and it should unlock.

Help! Dev edition going to gpe and back again!?

Listen guys, sorry I've screwed this up so badly. I got a developer edition from swappa, and it came rooted with the stock sense ui. It was rooted, twrp installed. S-on, NOT, s-off was enabled.
I switched to gpe edition seamlessly through twrp. Now, looking to go back to stock sense ui and cannot.
Here's what I've done attempting to go back.
Attempted RUU for developer edition software. No luck because of error in software, error 155.
Tried to flash the RUU zip and that too errored out on me.
I then figured it was because of S-on, so tried to figure that out... Unsuccessfully.
Then thought I needed stock recovery, flashed that with error and now stuck with no recovery at all. Fastboot flash recovery recovery. IMG didn't work. Yeah, so no recovery.
Then I thought RUU wouldn't work because I'm unlocked bootloader. So, I locked the boot loader via fastboot OEM lock.... Probably not good
Fastboot menu days tampered, relocked.
Oh, Wi-Fi doesn't work either.... I forgot to mention that before I attempted to flash a stock sense ROM with no root.
Sow now what? Any advice?

The command is fastbooot flash recovery.img. No caps on the img and no space after the period, if that helps. Plus recovery only once, not twice.
You are placing the recovery.img into your fastboot folder, correct?
EDIT: fastboot oem unlock to unlock your bootloader again.
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img is the command i used. probably looked conufsing as i didn't use a proper variable for the image file but rather recovery.img

It's fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The first recovery tells the device the location to which you want to flash it, in this case "recovery" for the recovery partition and the second one is the file you wish to flash in this case "recovery.img".

Do you know what software version you were on?
Just try the Developer Edition RUU again. If you're S-ON which you are, then bootloader needs to be relocked. I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work, even if recovery is gone it completely returns device to stock(Including recovery).
You don't have to do the CID/MID part seeing as you're S-ON and you need S-OFF to do that. I don't think you used the converted GPE but instead a GPE ROM
I donwloaded the RUU for the Develoer Edition and it errored out at 155. I must have tried this 5-6 times.
I think I finally figured this out, so it may be useful for someone else. Who knows.
1) I downloaded another users NANDROID backup from the Dev Edition from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
2) I flashed TWRP, restored the NANDROID from the above thread using TWRP.
3) Then, I flashed the original STOCK corresponding recovery from the same thread.
4) I was able to reboot and wifi FINALLY worked properly on a sense rom. I downloaded the OTA and it updated successfully, upon reboot through, wifi was broken again.
5) Re-locked the bootloader via fastboot oem lock, then performed the RUU for the Dev Edition from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
The RUU just completed successfully, so I think I'm out of the woods. But man oh man that was painful.

[Q] Stuck in bootloader mode. No wifi. Adb can't find devices

Okay so, I had a problem of having no OS and had my htc m8 on soft brick for a while but i finally got that resolved by flashing a new rom on it. ( Here it is if you want to read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-installed-transfer-files-t3018626)
Unfortunately, I wasn't getting wifi on it. I tried 2 other roms and still no dice. I read online that i needed to update my firmware to do that. To do that, I needed to relock my bootloader so I did and the firmware flashed successfully.
Now my hboot is 3.19 instead of 3.16 and my bootloader says RELOCKED.However, when i go into recovery mode, my phone shows a picture of the dead android. I can't get past the bootscreen either so my phone is stuck on bootloader mode.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712 to help me get my phone unlocked again cause the unlock code at htc dev wont work again.
However, when i write adb devices, no serial number shows up now. adb shell says no devices connected.
I tried pushing and flashing a new recovery and rom in cmd and it said it failed.
I'm really grasping at straws at this moment since I can't really do anything.
Are you sure you are updated? In the bootloader, what does it say for "os"?
And what roms are you trying to flash? 4.4.4 or Lollipop?
And to unlock bootloader, start over at HTC Dev. See what happens. Instead of trying old code.
You can't flash a recovery with a locked bootloader.
I'm pretty sure it updated because everything looks different. Bootloader's background is black instead of white now too. When I flashed the firmware, everything seemed to be okay as well. . .
my OS says 3.11.1700.5
and i tried it at dev and generated a code, but it gave me an error and didn't give me a file. I tried to use my old file but that didnt work.
Personally, in your situation now..... I'd flash the correct RUU for your device, then use Sunshine to s-off. Then you'll be bootloader unlocked also and can flash recovery, root and all that.
You'll need the same Android version RUU that matches your firmware now.
See this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Without Sunshine... I can't say why HTC Dev isn't helping.

I can't flash a recovery because the bootloader is Relocked. I can't unlock it cause my phone wont get detected in adb devices.
I tried manually updating drivers as well. :/

Have you tried flashing a recovery using Hasoon2000 HTC one all in one ?. I had the same problem as you i flashed TWRP then I installed android revolution Hd Rom and it solved my problem but as I said try it may not work as your boot loader is locked..... You can also use the all in one too unlock boot loader might be worth a try

Like I said, recoveries wont flash cause its stuck on Relocked mode. I cant fix that because adb devices wont see my phone.
All the other commands on the All-in-One root kit gives me this:" 'C:\Users\Admin' is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file " regardless of where i do it. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
I tried to put the 0p6bimg.zip file but it wont copy on to my sd card cause of some error saying not responding or disconnected.
I tried flashing it instead but it said the file was too large
I tried the latest firmware but it said Failed! verification error.
I tried using the RUU to update and it stopped on the 1/7 process saying Error 155: Unknown Error.
I think what i need to do and how to fix it but I just need adb devices to find my phone.
If i can do that I can unlock my bootloader, install a recovery, install a rom and be home free but I can't do that until it detects my phone. I've tried everything now including reinstalling my drivers three times now.
Please help :'(
You don't need adb devices to see the device. You need to put the phone in the bootloader and type fastboot devices.
Open the command prompt inside the folder where also the fastboot.exe file is located.
Like Mr Hofs said...The bootloader gets unlocked in bootloader/fastboot mode.
Last I remember the code to get the token was "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and not "adb oem get_identifier_token" or "adb flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ...

No, you guys. I already said this. I already used the htc dev the first time to get my phone unlocked. I had to relock it to flash a firmware. Now I can't unlock it again.The token isn't working. I already used the token once and its not working for the second time. I need adb devices to use adb shell. That way I can adb push revone and unlock my bootloader, but im not sure if that would work either.
Edit: I tried htc dev by generating a code 3 times. It generated different ones, the last one worked.
Ok something is still wrong.
I flashed cwm 6.0.4.8, did a full wipe, installed supersu and installed the android revolution rom. When I reboot, it says I am not rooted, root now? I pressed yes and it reboot.
The phone goes into htc bootscreen for 2 minutes, reboots again and then goes into recovery mode. What do I do now?

Try flashing the boot.img again.
Clear the Cache.
If it still doesn't work then it might be best to just flash the ROM again.
Is your bootloader still show GPE version no. ?
If yes, how do you expect to flash a Sense ROM on GPE partition ?

Back to Stock Recovery and Booload lock with S-ON

Hello,
so I got the HTC 10 from my brother but I can not get the latest updates via OTA. Reason: Bootload unlocked und TWRP Recovery.
Now I wanna relock the bootloader and back to the Stock Recovery in order to get the OTA upates. I found files in the thread but I do not really know how to proceed at all
Is there any step by step guide for this situation which a newbie would understand?
Some Info's to the phone itself:
Recovery: TWRP 3.03-10_Unofficial
S-On
Unlocked Bootloader
CID: HTC_034
Android 7.0, January Security update
Software: 2.41.401.4
Kernel: 3.18.31-perf-g9ec8cbc and @aabm#1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: [email protected]_79.07_F
Is there any way to simply flash the stock recovery again put the bootloader to locked and then get the OTA?
Any help is appreciated
(And no can not ask my brother as he is for several months abroad)

Bootloader status does not affect ability to take OTAs.
You need two things mainly to take the OTA:
1. Stock recovery matching your current software
2. An untouched backup image of the system partition matching your current software. This is needed if you're currently rooted.
Both can probably be found in the thread you linked. The backup image is flashed from twrp. The stock recovery is then flashed from download mode using this command:
Fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
But even after doing that, you might still get an error when trying to take the OTA. Easiest way to take it is to start from scratch, backup your phone's contents to your pc or sd card, and then run the latest ruu for your phone. This will bring you up to date, and will also allow you to make a backup system image from twrp before rooting so that you can easily take future OTAs. The ruu will also completely wipe your phone's contents.
So you can try the first method I mentioned, and if it doesn't work go with the ruu.
As your brother may root it before so the system may got modify, in this case the best and easiest way is flash a RUU.
Try this RUU, http://dl3.htc.com/application/[email protected]_79.07_F_release_495903_signed_2.exe
A RUU will restore your HTC 10 back to stock and wipe out everything. It require a match CID or super CID, if not it will not flash.
I tried to flash RUU via sd card method as well as fastboot method. Both got failed
sd card: Header Error
fastboot: load_file: could not allocate 1950335038 bytes
error: cannot load '2PS6IMG.zip'
Im running on venom rom , S ON with oem unlocked. How can i go back to stock rom??
Mine is 2.41.401.41

This RUU worked perfectly. And no the phone was not rooted, just unlocked Bootloader and TWRP as Recovery.
After flashing the RUU I got the July Security Patch and that is what I wanted.
Thank you very much, Problem solved

It is a EXE, you should run on windows instead of using the sdcard method, as for the not enough space I am not sure about

Nah, i downloaded the exe and the zip file also.
Anyway fixed it. Just restored from a nandroid backup. Now back in stock
PS:In btw, anyone facing any battery drop issue??
So I run in another Problem. I got the latest OTA for Europe (July Security Patch) but now my Phone gets shown as uncertified in the google play app which means I can not download certain apps like Netflix via Appstore.
Now I already figured out why I get shown uncertified: the Bootload is still unlocked. I thought the RUU would fix this as well. And if I wanna go in to the recovery (there was an TWRP Recovery on it before) I just get a red triangle with an "!" in it. It wont boot into recovery. Had to hard reset the phone to be able to boot normally to android then.
Now I wanna flash the stock recovery and lock the Bootload again to get again the certified status from google again.
Now here I need help.
1. Can't find the matching recovery version (EU unlocked, July Securtiy Patch, 2.41.401.41). Can anyone help me find the recovery image I need?
2. How do I get the bootload locked again? My Brother unlocked it via HTCdev.com back then, that I know already. But the command fastboot oem lock does not work at all. It just does nothing.
So how can I lock the bootloader?
Thanks for the help.
If you ran the RUU you already have stock recovery...red triangle with an "!" in it.
Are you running the fastboot oem lock from bootloader or download mode?

Haha well then everything is ok with the recovery ^^
I tried both (download and bootloader mode), both times nothing happens. In download mode my PC does not even recognize the phone as the command "adb devices" does not list my phone and the command "fastboot oem lock" does nothing. HTCsnyc installed and ofc adb shell, worked even as when I normally checked with adb devices when my phone was on it was recognized.

Alright this command works and shows my device.
Now I am in bootloader (Shows Software Status: Modified; Unlocked, S-ON). Then I type in "fastboot oem lock" and I get:

Well at least now I get something, before just nothing happened. Any clue what I might do wrong here?

Phone has to be in download mode then the command works and my phone shows me a message if I want to lock again. Unfortunately it will factory reset my phone as well (at least it says that) so I have to backup my data (again) first.
But thank you for your help, appreciate it.
Cheers!
So I did lock the phone again and flashed again the RUU.exe BUT again my Phone shows in Bootloader Software Status as Modified...and it shows as Relocked.
So how do I get it to official status again?

By buying sunshine S-OFF. Only way to see the bootloader back to "locked" instead of "relocked"

Ye found a thread to it. But seems I dont need it. My Phone gets shown as certified again at google play store so I assume just "relocking" the bootloader seems to be enough.

root and s-off unlock bootloader

No longer an issue

bootloader.
how can you unlock bootloader on this smartphone? (HTC One M9 Verizon Wireless, himawl).
(!bootloader unlock function has been removed from Verizon firmware, Nougat 7.0.)
firstly, YOU NEED TO S-OFF YOUR DEVICE.
install custom recovery (TWRP) via download mode in fastboot mode. ( The official image of recovery is suitable, it is universal.)
download : bootloader reset tool v3.zip
!androidfilehost!......./?fid=24349802275799262
just paste this after the site domain
/?fid=24349802275799262
(sorry, thanks to xda, newbie link restriction).
paste this file on nand memory or sd card.
flash this file (bootloader reset tool v3.zip) using TWRP, AROMA - select two options : unlock bootloader and disable write protection.
that's all, enjoy.
