Hey all,
is it possible to run the TMOUS RUU while my phone is in bootloader mode? I'm in the process of going back to complete stock (save relocked) and I just want to make sure that I can actually RUU my device before I get stuck in bootloader mode forever. What normally happens: flash stock recovery, relock bootloader, phone doesn't boot into Stock rooted ROM. Stays in bootloader. So I restart the process again: unlock bootloader (and lose all my data) and then flash TWRP.
Yes you are missing the part where you flash the RUU fastboot oem rebootRUU then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip

I don't actually have an RUU.zip -- I have the straight up EXE file.
In that case yes you can. When it gets stuck in bootloader go to recovery and factory reset

Also you can try while in hboot.
fastboot erase cache
Then try booting into your rom
If neither of those work then you can use the exe RUU

Go to hboot
Fastboot mode
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Start ruu.exe
Your bootloader needs to be relocked first.

I just got S-off and am trying to upgrade to the latest firmware. Do I have to flash the Rom as described above or can I just flash the global firmware file? I do not want the Rom, just to upgrade the firmware. Also, will I need to flash a recovery again even though I am already using Amon Ra?

These downloads don't contain a recovery.img so they won't overwrite your custom recovery.

Thanks so much for the reply and the links. My bootloader got locked after I S-off-ed. I did not accept the jp hboot because I wasn't sure. Is there a way to install the firmware other than fastboot or to install a custom hboot like ENG hboot or jp hboot?

make sure Fast Boot is NOT selected in Settings/Power. Then turn the phone COMPLETELY OFF and boot to Hboot then fastboot and flash recovery again. Then power off and reboot to hboot. If it says *Tampered* at the top your all set, if it doesn't, then recovery didn't take. I had to flash recovery 6 or 8 times, but I think the deciding factor was when I turned fast boot off in Settings.
Ok. In order to flash a boot.img do we have to rename it to boot.img.zip ? I'm trying to completely understand how to flash the boot.img using HTC dumlock rather than having to use the computer all the time for fast boot.

Is this exactly the same as the CWM Recovery in the international HTC One M7 forum?
I went ahead and tried getting S-OFF using the Moonshine tool I got everything going pretty well. It was stuck on moonshining (3) for awhile, and kept looping through the HTC logo doing boot-loops so I closed the prompt like it said to do in the thread for the moonshine tool.
Now, it will continually boot loop unless i open the bootloader, where it says that I have S-OFF and at the top it even says Moonshine S-OFF...
Well now i have no recovery or OS. I have tried flashing a recovery and a ROM usiing a guide on youtube called "[Tutorial] How to Fastboot Flash boot.img on S-ON HTC Device" - Sorry still cant link on here and i still just keep boot looping...
Any help is appreciated!!!
:crying:
So you didn't have a custom recovery prior to Moonshine? To install a custom recovery, download TWRP 2.6.1.0 from the link at the bottom of my post and put the file in your ADB tools folder. Reboot your phone into the bootloader and select the "Fastboot" option.
Connect your phone and PC and you should see "Fastboot" change to "Fastboot USB". Open a command prompt in ADB and type "fastboot devices" (without quotation marks). Your device serial number should be displayed on the next line. Now type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-jewel.img", again without any quotation marks. Once the file is sent from your PC to your phone you should get an "Okay" response from your terminal.
If successful you can boot into your recovery and flash a ROM. If you don't have a ROM on your internal or external storage you can go to the Mount menu in recovery and mount your internal or external storage to your computer and transfer a ROM to your phone. Do a full system wipe from the recovery wipe menu, then flash whatever ROM you downloaded. Any issues, just PM me or reply in this thread.
You can download TWRP 2.6.1.0 from the link below:

I did have a custom recovery prior to moonshine. I had TWRP. I then ran moonshine and it got stuck in that boot loop which is when i closed the CMD window and unplugged. I reset as it kept looping on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I hard reset back into the bootloader. I noticed that i did have S-OFF, and the ***tampered**** and ****unlocked**** were missing from the top... I went into the recovery option and it did the looping of the "HTC quietly brilliant" again... I flashed a boot.img from the rom I had installed, and still boot loops. I flashed the recovery, exactly like your instructions and still boot loops on the "HTC quietly brilliant".
I then went to HTC DEV and tried re-unlocking the bootloader to see if that would change anything, and i was able to "unlock" it but nothing has changed on the HBOOT screen still S-Off, nothing new.... I re-flashed the boot.img and TWRP recovery in the fastboot option, and its all the same.
Thanks.
Okay. Take a look at the link in this reply. It's the VipeRUU tool. It only works if you're S-off. It will restore your phone back to completely stock, locked bootloader, unrooted and S-on. It's run from your computer. I would start there and start over. Sounds like something got borked along the way during the S-off process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197909
Also, once you're S-off it's normal for the tampered and unlocked warning to not be present in the bootloader screen, as S-off completely removes the bootloader security. It's also not advised to try and re-lock or unlock your bootloader once S-off.

S-on users will need to relock/lock bootloader before flashing.
S-off users can simply flash using either method below. I also have included an S-off only option which i removed the boot and recovery img from (perfect for users on custom roms who only want to update firmware)
Option 1) Use fastboot to flash
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
*** If any message appears about reflush and flash run above command again ***
fastboot reboot-bootloader
**** this firmware has both stock boot and recovery so flash your custom rom's kernel and/or your custom recovery NOW before rebooting****
Option 2)
Rename zip file to 0P6BIMG.zip and place on your external SD card. Reboot to hboot and allow bootloader to update/flash

i did option 2 and it goes thru the phase in bootloader, and when it boots i hear the boot up sound but stays on the HTC screen, but i can hit the vol up and i can hear the sound like it did a reboot but its stuck on the HTC screen. any ideas?
I think you will need to reflash your ROM as dottat did not specify if he had made the package for s-off not to wipe. Generally during firmware update, it will wipe clean the phone to reset partitions, I am assuming. If you come from gpe firmware, best to reflash because gpe and sense have different partitioning.
Hold power+vol up to force shut down then use power+vol down to get to bootloader and enter your custom recovery from there.

Firmware won't wipe.
That said I believe by second option he meant SD card method. If he's s on he will likely need to reflash his roms kernel (boot.Img) via fastboot after unlocking again.
@hauntyu
Just pull the boot.img out of the zip of the rom you were running and flash that in fastboot mode after you unlock your bootloader again.

You have to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery and then relock. Then you can either download it from the other thread where it's posted and manually flash it in recovery or do it the regular way through update.

You are gonna need to lock using your pc so your pc is required anyways. Make sure you back up your stuff before you unlock your boot loader again as it will factory reset your phone to do so.

Flash a stockish Rom and then separately flash the stock boot.img from the 4.4.4 firmware zip. Sunshine will fail on any Rom that uses a non stock kernel. Even debug turned on in kernel will cause it to fail.
OK so then it should go something like this..
1. Connect phone to PC.
2. Move recovery file you linked to my android folder on PC where my fastboot files are.
3. fastboot flash stock recovery
4. fastboot oem lock
5. Reboot
6. Take ota.

I actually had to. I kept on getting 155 error during RUU update. I tried many combinations with and without locks or different versions of boot.img and recovery.img . I believe there may have been some sort of corruption in my radio or firmware. It was the only way I could proceed.

Sure. These instruction were used on a htc m8 ATT phone that was S-ON. the bootloader was unlocked.
1. first boot the phone into fastboot by holding power+vol-up(to force shutdown) immediately followed by (power+vol-down) to go into hboot.
2. in hboot use volumen buttons for up and down and power button for selection. Select fastboot
3. lock the bootloader -> fastboot oem lock
3.1 at this point if you reboot the phone it will not go anywhere except for fastboot mode. no worries. if you unlock your phone you are back to your normal phone
4. we will not attempt to install new firmware
5. in fastboot command enter RUU mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
6. phone will reboot and you get a different screen with grey picture. This mode is specially made for updating roms and other parts of phone.
7. download http://1drv.ms/1ClUXtt firmware.zip file (big thank you to krazyace35)
8. flash the firmware.zip : fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
9. at this point your phone may restart, do no worry.
9.1 you WILL get the following error in the command line: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
9.2 if you get the error in 9.1 then you are in the right path. it means that S-ON has checked and accepted the firmware.zip if you get any other error it may be either because bootloader is unlocked or the firmware.zip file is not signed for your device. open the firmware.zip file using winrar and check android-info.txt file for CID and modelID to be a match to your phone. if not do not bother as any changes to the firmware of any kind (re-zipping) will invalidate it.
10. if you got the remote: 90 hboot pre-update! error from 9.1 then do the command again: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
10.1 make sure your computer is on reliable power. the cable and phone is not moved or require moving. As the next few minutes the firmware.zip will be updating the radio and other parts of the phone.
11. once the process is done, you will get a success/OKAY message which points to completion of firmware update
12. you may reboot the phone by: fastboot reboot
12.1 you may also use power+vol-up to reboot.
12.2 your phone should be able to pass through and enter the rom
13. we will now attempt to update to latest sense6/ATT rom
14. get this file: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...40.45.C33065.00_F_release_426617_signed_2.exe
14.1 I do not remember who posted the link on XDA forum but the link was not on htc website.
15. again make sure your phone does not require moving and the cable is good. having more than 30% power is also an strong recommendation
16. enter fastboot again(step 2)
17. run the RUU file on your computer
18. follow steps
19. once your phone restarts you are in semi-safe zone. go for a 10 to 15 minute walk.
20. once you are back the RUU set up should be done.
21. restart your phone and wait for it to go to rom and you are satisfied.
OPTIONAL: unlocking bootloader:
22. reboot into fastboot
23. fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin (obtained from htcdev.com the file differs from phone to phone but easy and legal to obtain from HTC directly)
24. on your phone press volume up then power button to accept.
25. you now have unlocked bootloader
OPTIONAL: flash new recovery
26. find the following file: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/HTCOne/M8TWRP/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img)
27. in fastboot run this command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img
28. you are done
