I cant recall... Is this normal on the first iteration?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Normal.....mine does the same on the sbls. I had looked to past ruu threads and found the sbls too failing

Oh good! I cant brick right now. Got too much going on, lol.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
I bet... ?.
[HTC One Max] Scott:
Hmm, did it the second time too...

But its booting...
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Yes. I had the same. Even when locked. Sbls didn't update. Even with the -w option. I probably used this a half dozen or more times already trying to keep my led blinking lol....damn led fix is in the change log. For what its worth, the firmware in today's ota does the same on sbl
[HTC One Max] Scott:
I never relocked. RUU shouldnt re-lock you, right?

Its been a while for me too.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
It won't and if s-off it is NOT required contrary to what some people say lol

first of all I really appreciate your help. thank you again...i loved the way you explain the steps with the link

this is what I have done

-I downloaded the VZW RUU

-Move the VZW RUU from my Internal Storage to my 32gb SD Card

-since my device was not rooted before so I do not have TWRP 2.7.0.0

-Followed on screen prompt to install 0P3PIMG.zip etc

-Once Booted into the stock 1.11.605.4 JB 4.3 I did basic setup to get to Home Screen (I am not with VZW)

-THEN went and downloaded and installed: Root] WeakSauce APK - 1.0.1

-Then installed [ROOT]Recovery Tools - Flasher from Play Store

-Then Reflashed [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.7.0.0 touch recovery using the Recovery tool apk

now, when i flashed it, i see msg partition flashed....tried to reboot in recovery NOTHING...used adb to reboot in recover, got a battery with triangle :(

any idea? what I am doing wrong...

[HTC One Max] dottat:
No need to rename. You can enter ruu mode on your phone from your pc and flash these zips by name from ruu mode. Just like option two of the ruu flashing method.

Just make sure the downloaded zips are in your working fastboot / adb directory.

Here's an example of what you would see on your PC flashing the hboot from RUU mode...

OK, so I'm bone stock, S-ON, Locked bootloader. I cannot access the OS to change my settings via USB debugging, developer mode, etc. When I run this .zip in Bootloader mode (4GB SD card, formatted to Fat32) it gives me several Fail-PU's in the SBL2, SBL3, ADSP, Bypassed on the SBL-1's and failed on one of the SBL-1's. I tells me at the bottom: Partition update fail! Update fail! Press Power to reboot.

What in the World do I need to do to make this work? Thanks so much for the help.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

I should add that I'm Hboot 2.46. When I try Fastboot method, I confirm that I'm connected, when I run the first command "fastboot oem rebootRUU", all the phone does is want to restart into the OS. So, I put it back into Fastboot mode and run the second command "fastboot zip 0P3PIMG.zip" when it does that, it stays at the fastboot screen and I see a verticle bar on the top right hand side that loads as the command proceeds. It doesn't go very far, only to the "rom parshing finished" then, it says: FAILED (remote: not allowed). I've run this twice with the same result. Man, I'd love anyone for some help to get me through this. Thank you!
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Do you have an sd card to use?
[HTC One Max] pyro43284:
Another thing you try go into settings and enable usb debugging and plug into the computer you might get a prompt from the phone asking it the computer can access make sure you check alway allow and ok then try to run a simple adb command like rebooting the phone.. then try the fastboot method again I ran into that when I was using rumrunner
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
I do have a 4GB SD card that was freshly formatted fat32 and just had the .zip placed solely on the card. I also tried another card without any successful result.

I cannot boot into the OS to change the USB debugging settings, so I can't use adb prompts.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
So if you do option 2 you don't need the pc after you've copied the zip to your sd. What does your boot loader say when it go to look for that file ?
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
It automatically loads with the name of: 0P3PIMG.zip, so it loads and asks if I want to update. I hit the Vol + button and it goes through the upload process, but it shows the "Fail-PU" errors mentioned in the original post. Then, at the end, it shows the process as failed. It then only gives me the option to hit the Power button to restart. Any part of the install does not stick. I appreciate your guys' help so far. Thank you so much. I'm hopeful to find a solution with your professional opinions.

When you try option one can you cut copy paste the entire command output for me?

The whole thing....is your phone entering ruu mode with the green HTC logo?
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
No, stays in Fastboot menu. When I give the initial command to rebootRUU, it reboots like it wants to go into the OS, not RUU. I never see the logo that is shown in the pictures on the 2nd page of this thread.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Can you cut copy paste that command output here?

Also, that is the whole copy and pasted text from the fastboot. That's all that I get...

Should be

Fastboot reboot oem rebootRUU
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
Now, if I use the SD card in recovery, it goes a little further with the install. But, as I described in the first post I made, it gives me a bunch of failures and ultimately tells me the install was failed.
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
Have you checked the MD5 of the download?
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
Yup, I use that exact verbiage and it does not boot into RUU.

Can you post the command output starting from that step and through the attempt to flash

Yeah, it's exactly on.

Can you try cut copy and pasting the command as written above and see if it gets into ruu mode?

Looks correct. Can you try downloading the latest adb/fastboot mini zip and run it from the root of your drive without spaces and extra characters in the file path? Or is there another pc you can try it from? Really need to get that puppy into ruu mode. I'm wondering if your copy of fastboot is a limited version.

What were you doing when your phone broke?

And after the failure on sd card did you reboot and immediately retry it?
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
I've got it going right now in fastboot from just C:\. I just moved to a new computer, installed a fresh install of the adb drivers and fastboot. Looks like the fastboot just failed as usual. This is a brand-new laptop that I'm working at now. So, I know that no other software is to blame for interference. Also, I'm using a USB 2.0 slot as I heard that the USB 3.0 can cause problems.

When I use the SD method, yes, I have tried to reboot into recovery and reflash immediately, it is the same outcome. I've tried that about 3 times now to see if anything changes and it doesn't.

The phone will actually boot into the OS, the problem is, I bought this phone from a coworker that said his 7 year old daughter was screwing around with it and messed the password up on the phone. He knows that I like to fix electronics, so he sold it to me for a good price. I'm used to hardware fixes, not software... So, basically, Verizon will activate the phone for me, but I can't use it because I can't get past the password prompt. I've tried erasing the userdata and cache in recovery and the bootloader, but all it does is reboot to the OS with the password and usual settings intact. It's weird to me that the data is never fully wiped, even though the commands say that they are.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Did it get into ruu mode?

Can you try putting a -w on the end of the flash zip command?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Did you check to see if the phone was encrypted too
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
I have tried the command with the -w at the end as well, with no different outcome. Also, how to I check to see if it's encrypted? I know the bootloader is locked, so I'm using the encrypted RUU... Sorry for my blindness according to this, I'm grateful for your on-going help.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Settings ->storage
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
I can't log into the OS because of the existent password. Is there anywhere else that I can try?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
It doesn't offer to wipe after 10 wrong attempts?
[HTC One Max] klindoug:
I'm guessing that the phone is encrypted, as I cannot access the storage in the phone even when booted to the OS password prompt.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

It claims to reset after 2 attempts, but after 2 attempts, it reboots (takes longer to reboot than normal) then just boots back into the OS with nothing removed/changed.

[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
I think the main problem with u that the commands u are writing is wrong

And that's why the device reboots to OS not RUU mode

U are writing : fastboot reboot oem rebootRUU

This command will reboot u to the os because it's wrong

U should write this command to enter RUU mode

fastboot oem rebootRUU

So The wrong word in the first command is reboot before oem ?

Hope u copy commands instead of writing them because it's the main reason for such problems and some commands can brick ur device if u are s-off and wrote them wrong ?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
[MENTION=729489]klindoug[/MENTION] I think he's right. Not sure how that got there and in my snap. Let us know if you get to ruu mode now.

[MENTION=357186]SULEY1[/MENTION] your best bet would be to download each sequential OTA zip from their various posted threads and booting into stock recovery to flash them. That would get you to the latest OS without s-off and without being on vzw's network.

What I posted isn't a Rom. It's an ruu. The two are flashed via entirely different means. If you go to that thread and follow the directions it will flash. You have two options of flashing that. Ruu mode or sd card.
[HTC One Max] thayl0:
Can this be used to return to stock out of the box?

Flash this.

Then s on and lock bockloader correct?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Yes it can be. Make sure you get the right order first. It's always a good idea to use the oldest ruu to do this so if you need to s off again you are good.

Once s on you cannot downgrade. Hope that helps.

I'm kinda worried because the person said if the device is unlocked that voids warrenty and I pay be charged. So you think I should just ruu and lock bootloader or s on also. As there now a way to s on on the 2.49 hboot now.
