Have you tried side loading a Rom with adb in recovery? Or I find a thumb drive and an otg adapter convenient if you have them.
As far as the ruu I think you need to be bootloader locked unless you are in Fastboot mode but I'm not positive as I've never used one.

I achieved s-off with dirty racun but I have not been able to get into recovery or flash a ROM. I am wondering if my bootloader didn't get unlocked.

i guess you didnt realize why there are only roms posted in this section
1. You should know for a fact when you unlock your bootloader as is says TAMPERED big as hell after you do it. 2. You need to flash a recovery via adb "fastboot flash recovery.img" because your phone does not come stock with a recovery so it will not appear if you haven't flashed one. 3. You clearly posted in the wrong section and if you don't take time to read (rules and guides step by step) around here you most likely won't be helped and you may even get made fun of.

Have you rooted your phone, or have you only run Dirty Racun? Gaining S-off and root are not the same, and Dirty Racun won't root your phone. You have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and the proper su binary to attain root, at which time you can flash ROM's, etc.

Need help with flash a recovery. Re-locked by phone and flash 2.13 RUU so I could get the OTA. After getting the OTA I unlocked again and trying to get root and nothing is working. When I use the command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8-jewel.img or fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img" it keepingsaying "sending 'recovery' (7220 KB)..." and never happens. It just sits there. The OTA installed hboot 2.09. Anyone have any ideas what is going on and does anyone else have the same problem after taking the OTA.
Did you try flashing recovery through bootloader at all?

Thanks for the reply. I have it working now. In fastboot mode the drivers provided no longer work. I had to download and install HTC Sync with the latest driver. The I was able to install a recovery (TWRP) system. With the posted drivers would not work.

OK so I used the bootloader to flash the 3 option in Haus's thread and every thing is working. But....
Now on the bootloader screen it says locked tampered then S-off.
I was told the locked was just wat it was saying and didn't matter.
So do I have a locked boot loader? And does that even matter for anything or was it just required to get root plus S-off?
Did I mess up getting the newest hboot from the firmware? I was told I needed it to run meanbean.

I'm not sure what u flashed but it sounds like you flashed the whole thing which means you have stock recovery now. Either fastboot flash recovery image or download thru goo manager.
Once you have a custom recovery installed your all set. Don't worry about the locked on your bootloader

You should have flashed the first file the one with no kernel,hboot, or stock recovery that would have updated everything you needed to be updated
So did I mess anything up? I was able to flash mean bean without any issues.

No you just did the same as taking the OTA as far as I can tell. As long as everything is working you should be fine
Hey all,
so I've come into a bit of a conundrum. I was playing with the MaximusHD Jellybean 4.3 ROM. It was alright, but not for me. So I decided to flash back to stock. After a bit of finagling, I got a Stock Rooted 4.1.2 ROM for my phone, and was able to flash it. But now, I can't RUU my phone back to complete stock. Relocking the bootloader produces a **Security warning**, which prevents booting. Now, with an unlocked bootloader the stock ROM boots fine -- but locked, it doesn't boot and goes directly to bootloader. Can someone please walk me through getting my phone back to normal? I've used the RUU before to return to complete stock once before, except I'm not sure what I've done wrong this time around. Any help is appreciated. Also, I have TWRP recovery (latest version), unfortunately without a Nandroid backup
My phone works fine right now -- albeit rooted. Thank you!
Try flashing a stock recovery before relocking.

Exact same problem here
Hi,
I have the exact same problem here, i've had my HTC One with a 2-year plan @t-mobile but with the stock rom i haven't had any t-mobile bloatware/splash screen. Is that normal?
Also if i flash a stock t-mobile rom it hangs at the bootloader.

I don't have S-OFF, but I can get it if necessary. Will that help me any?
Yes it will help. I am no dev. Once your s off you won't need to lock your device and can run ruu

Will this allow booting to my rooted ROM / will it remove the **Security warning** that prevents booting?

Unfortunately, flashing a stock recovery just prevented my device from booting normally. I had to reflash TWRP to get it to boot properly... unless I just didn't give the boot process enough time on the stock recovery.
You can put any recovery on your phone, lock it, and run fastboot rebootRUU from hboot to run the RUU.

Wonderful! I'll try this after school today. Will report back...
word, let me know if you have any trouble. :good:
I was installing a new ROM and mistakenly deleted everything including the rom and all sdcard files. I can still boot into recovery and fastboot but no adb. I have unlocked bootloader and s-off. How can I restore a ROM on my device??? Can I do it using fastboot? Any help would be GREATLY appreaciated! I have been trying to fix for 3 hours now
You should be able to push a Rom from your pc while in recovery, I don't know if it is an adb command as I haven't used the side load feature in recovery yet.
If you have an otg cable you can install a Rom from that also

Thank you for the reply. I was unable to get adb to recognize the phone while in recovery. I ended up restoring the device using the HTC ruu program. I had to relock the device to do this. I now have been able to restore my phone, installed TWRP, and have a rooted ROM. I still have s-off but cannot regain "unlocked" bootloader after "relocked" was done. How do I restore the "unlocked" bootloader now?
Thanks for the help.

Hello, I just bought a used AT&T M8 and am trying to convert it back to sense. Im not familiar with messing with HTCs. I see in hboot that it is unlocked and s-off. It looks like they put pure google on it. Ive been looking and seeing different instructionson gett phone back to stock but they seem scattered. I saw and tried running official ruu for 1.58 found in another thread but only get to the point where it tries to reboot into boot loader and then it says it cant and to find a ruu compatible with my device. I cant tell what custom recovery it has. Everytime in hboot when i choose recovery it just hangs and says bad command. Can somebody tell me instructions on how to run this ruu?

Okay, making some progress. Pushed latest TWRP via fastboot. I'm assuming if I flash stock ROM and then push stock recovery via fastboot, then you I should be able to run ruu?

In your boot loader, what os does it say you have? We need to know if they did a true gpe conversion or just a rom. Does it have 3 android guys on skateboards or something else?
On the boot loader, it just says os-. I have attached a pic of my boot loader. Thanks for responding.

I know you solved your issue another way. But just so you know (and others, too) an RUU does not typically require stock recovery; while OTA does require stock recovery (probably the reason for the confusion).
Thanks. I ended up just flashing the RUU yesterday with stock rooted Rom and TWRP. This is why I love XDA. I was able to buy a M8 pretty cheap and thanks to people here, I was able to get it going.?
