Was operating on Stock Rom 'Stock_Rooted_T6UL_4.13.401.7'
Then i installed hk-3.sh.zip using cmd console via FastBoot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
The phone rebooted & Showed Android optimising 1 of 232 apps.
then after a certian apps were optimised, the phone remained in that mode overnight.
then rebooting the phone, now the phone is going into a reboot loop after the HTC One Screen.
Tried various method to get my phone back from this semi bricked state.
installed TWRP recovery and restored 2.61.707.1 Stock ROM Unrooted - 2014-06-17--17-34-28 KOT49H release-keys
then installed firmaware T6_UL_L50_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3(stock HBOOT, Recovery, System etc)
Then using stock Recovery 3.14.707.3, applied following OTAs:
OTA_T6_UL_L50_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_2.61.707.1.zip
OTA_T6_UL_L50_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.23.707.1-3.14.707.3.zip
OTA_T6_UL_L50_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.13.707.7-3.23.707.1.zip
All OTAs upgraded perfectly in Recovery mode, but my phone still reboots in loop after HTC ONE Screen.

Try install again with twrp, and I bellive you need to wipe data before installing this one. You need a rom on your phone to dirtyflash over, but wipe data before that.

Now My HTC One Max T6U appears bricked.

How to Re-Partition HTC One Max T6U and RAW Flash Android ?
Is anybody aware of a method How to re-partition my HTC One Max T6U and then RAW Flash / Install Android images into those partitions ?
(Probably like how Mobile companies do after the Hardware of a Phone is just assembled & ready for Android to be installed on it for the very first time).

Did it realy go through flashing the m7 ruu? Does it not do a device check?

Actually I had modified the android-info.txt file in the RUU.zip to match my device model Id & CID. That's why the flashing went through.
Also had deleted the assert entries in the META-INF/com/google/android file, to prevent errors and then the impending abort.
First gave a .txt extension to the META-INF/com/google/android file and then deleted all the assert entries. Then again removed the .txt extension.
example of the assert entries as follows :
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
"77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__001" , "HTC__E11" ,
"HTC__203" , "HTC__102" , "HTC__405" , "HTC__Y13" , "HTC__A07" ,
"HTC__304" , "HTC__M27" , "HTC__032" ,
"HTC__016") == "t");
. . . and many more . . .

There are ways to flash the partitions of HTC devices using Linux (Ubuntu) where the SIM, Memory Card & Battery of the device has to be removed first, & then the device has to be flashed. I am now trying to do some R&D on that. Linux by default is able to see the partitions of Android (because Android is also based on Linux) and the partitions in the emmc are formatted as ext3.
Only problem I am facing right now is that I cannot physically disconnect the battery of my HTC One Max as it has a non-removable battery which is also embedded very deep within the phone. Am not aware of disconnecting the battery any other way. Now since the battery is connected, every time I connect my phone to the PC, the bootloader (hboot) comes into action and thus blocks any attempt to flash software into the existing partitions.
Will post any findings if I manage to break the ice.
Thanks for your help though.
