Hello,
I'm S-on HTC Unlocked and running Mean Rom. I know Sprint's data network is atrocious right now but I wonder if my phone and/or the radio is making it worse.
I'm in a major metropolitan area and 60% of the time my phone is running on 1g data. Four or five times a day it randomly goes into roaming mode and I have to reboot it to get it out of roaming. Data speeds are like .3 mbps download when I do get 3g service with pings as high as 1400 ms.
I can seem to find out what radio I should be using or which is the most recent. Can I even update the radio without s-off? I did the firmware update when I got the phone so I cant get s-off. My old Evo 4G seemed to do better than this new one.
Any suggestions?
Oh, btw, I'm currently on Radio 1.05.11.0606.. H-boot 1.15 if it matters.
Thanks for the help.
Flash back to stock ROM and recovery, relock bootloader loader and take the ota or alternatively you can use an ruu.

Thanks.. I tried the RUU and I get errors. How exactly do I flash back to stock ROM? Just find a ROM in the development thread that says it stock?
Thanks again.
Yeah it should be in development. Flash stock ROM, recovery, then lock the boot loader (fastboot oem lock) and accept the ota

Where do you get stock recovery from? Do you can you fast boot unlock boot loader?
You need the unlock_code.bin to unlock bootloader again. Stock recovery should be in development somewhere
Semi-noob here, would appreciate any help!
S-Off using revone, flashed CWM, and then ROM'd. Found an issue with the phone (wireless charger not working), so need to return to stock before bringing to Verizon. Used adb to S-On, and now, I am STUCK in Fastboot (or is it called Hboot?)!
None of the "options in Fastboot do anything (Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Factory Reset). I can't get anywhere past Fastboot!
I think my problem was that I did not flash the stock ROM first, before S-on again. The phone no longer goes into Bootloader, so I don't know how to flash a ROM at this point.
Any help would be majorly appreciated! Thank you, oh wise ones...

The good news is, if you really are stuck in fastboot, you can still use adb/fastboot commands to get your phone working again. There is an important distinction between fastboot and hboot, though: fastboot is basically the bootloader's "debug" mode, while hboot is the regular bootloader mode. You won't be able to do much if your bootloader says "hboot" above the available options, but if it says "fastboot" or "fastboot usb" you're fine.
You should try to get s-off again (assuming you haven't relocked your bootloader) either via revone or facepalm, then flash a stock rom and proceed from there.
Clarification: if you have relocked your bootloader, unlock, then get s-off.
Used adb to S-On? Meaning what exactly? Did you lock beforehand?
I currently have S-on. I used revone's method to S-off.
I think the problem is that I have relocked the bootloader (phone shows LOCKED) with a custom ROM installed. I think I should have flashed a stock ROM before relocking. Would this have caused the problem I'm having?
I am not sure how to get S-off again, because I am stuck on the FASTBOOT. Selecting Bootloader/Reboot/Reboot Bootloader just returns me to the same screen. When I try to enter any line items (in Terminal), adb says there are no devices connected (this is probably due to the fact that my phone no longer boots to the homescreen). Any suggestions of how to get S-off again??
Thanks...
What method did you use for S-ON? There are guides here that lay out every step needed to return to stock.
Also when in fastboot, you need to use fastboot, not adb. Type in fastboot devices. Does your device ID show?
I would suggest trying to run the RUU. Although it may not work depending on HBOOT version and the fact you are now S-ON.
Can you boot into Recovery? If so, is there a ROM still on the phone? If so, try flashing it...

Does the unit show up in device manager? You may need to install a driver.

Oh, using Fastboot gave me my device ID. What can I do now??
I can't get into Recovery from Fastboot USB. The option for Bootloader and Reboot Bootloader are there, but selecting them just returns me to Fastboot USB. I assume this is because I am already S-On again...?

Select bootloader, then recovery. The menus look the same, but they are different.
If you can boot into recovery, what is it? Stock or custom?

When I select Bootloader -> Recovery, the HTC screen flashes, then I'm returned to Fastboot USB.

That's because you have unsigned boot.img and/or recovery and relocked the device.
You need to RUU or unlock again to boot to anything.
Any tips on how to unlock again? (and once I am unlocked, i assume I need to load Recovery, and from there, flash a stock ROM?)

Run Moonshine.
If that fails, RUU to stock.
You didn't happen to make an unlock_code.bin with htc did you?
No, i didn't. Not even sure what that is...haha...
I'm going to run RUU, and hope that works! Thanks for everyones input...
still no luck! =T
So, I've tried running RUU (this is the RUU file I'm using: RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed), but after it runs for a while (it says it is erasing data, then sending to the phone),
RUU says I am currently on 2.06, so is this the correct RUU file?
Another option for me, other than putting the phone back to stock, is for me to completely brick it. I tried unplugging and powering off the phone while RUU was running, but it still comes back to Fastboot. Suggestions?
Thanks again....

Just run the RUU. There is only one RUU. You are on 2.06, that's why it tells you that. Let the whole thing run.
You cannot downgrade via RUU. You need to unlock the phone, s-off it (facepalm should suffice) then you can RUU back to 1.15 if you choose.

I have the same problem. Since it was relocked, the htc dev site can't give the bin file to unlock it again. So I'm stuck in fastboot usb mode and I can't do anything about it. If only I can unlock it again, then I can move on from there.

Still have the token? Or the email that it got sent in?
I was trying to return my phone back to stock that had S-OFF and a 4.4.2 ROM, I got rid of Unlocked and tampered in my bootloader and S-ON'd my phone. I am trying to flash an RUU that will work with the 1.55 HBOOT and non of the ones I have found helped. The phone will not boot into recovery, it boots into the bootloader and will not go past it. Anyone know what I can do?

I have similar problem. If you don't have a custom recovery there is nothing you can do besides wait for at&t to release the ota update and extract the firmware.zip from it and flash that. the problem is when you flash a google edition rom to an att phone the bootloader signature wont match and you can no longer unlock through htc dev, and any rom you try to flash will either fail because: a) your main ver. is higher than the rom you are trying to flash (cant downgrade locked phone) or b)signature verification fail... like I said above. Feel free to pm me and I will give you some more info and some other things you may be able to try.
Can anyone upload the AT&T stock recovery img? @thoughtlesskyle was awesome enough to upload the system and boot partitions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/stock-stock-twrp-t3080499
I guess the AT&T RUU would work as well if anyone has that floating around.
THX all!
I would also really appreciate a flashable stock recovery partition!
I have a brand new HTC One M9, stock and untouched - I unlocked the bootloader, but relocked it before flashing TWRP or anything because I realized that I can have root, or stock recovery, but not both.
I'm reluctant to wipe the stock recovery image and replace it with TWRP, because I *really* want the camera OTA applied correctly when AT&T decides to push it out.
If I wipe the stock recovery, install TWRP, and install root along with a ROM - I'll lose the stock recovery, and even if I reflash a bone-stock system dump, the recovery partition will be modified so I won't be able to take the AT&T signed OTA and flash it.
I even tried to "fastboot boot twrp-recovery-2.8.6.4.img" in both bootloader and download mode to see if I can use TWRP without flashing and blowing away the stock recovery partition, but no luck.... and it seems I'm unable to backup the stock recovery partition as is unless I get root (which requires me to flash TWRP...)

I'm confused on how I can return my m9 to Full stock. I have twrp , S OFF and SuperSU.
I've downloaded RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Do I first do S-ON then launch RUU exe and it will be back to stock? Do I even need to have S-ON ? Will flashing RUU via just running it remove root AND twrp?
att HTC One M9 back to stock fully
So this is what I found after some research and was successful at resetting everything to stock:
If you are rooted, unlocked, your status on bootloader says 'modified' but you want to go back to stock. To return the phone or some other reason:
First - set your phone to S-OFF with http://theroot.ninja/index.html I know - it costs $25. I will gladly accept another way of doing it, but unaware of one.
Second - set your Software Status back to Official by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-restore-software-status-original-t3092882
This the second step since you need to be S-OFF for it to work.
At this point you'll still have your Bootloader showing as Unlocked and of course S will be OFF.
Then do the step 2 to lock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
Then I would not do step 3, but only because I found ROM exe for my ATT one m9 here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
It'll take 5 minutes or so to finish. This will reload your Lollipop back to factory state. It will also unroot your phone.
Then you can do S-ON by rebooting to download mode ( adb reboot download ) and running: ( fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 ). This was 'optional' step after step 7 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
