Quick update about solution for this problem:

Get a hammer, beat the hell out of your device while in hboot, reboot yourself into recovery mode, erase all data regarding the device from your internal SD storage(your brain), throw it from the top of the tallest building, take 2 days off, watch some TV, have a bath, eat some real food and move on.

Case closed.

[One (M8s) General] redpoint73:
You would need to match the RUU number to the main version shown in getvar, which is 1.21.161.1

Unfortunately, that isn't available in the link in the OP.
[One (M8s) General] Sphed:
Hi ! I'm new in all of this so Imma ask something that you may find dumb or obvious ^^

I want to install a custom rom on my phone (lineageos 13) but i want to be ready if something bad happen to my phone. So if the rom doesn't work, I'll need the stock HTC One M8s rom to go back to stock (I think).

So do i only need the ruu to go back to stock or do i need to dl the stock rom first (if the ruu isn't the rom itself) ?

In fact, I dunno what a RUU is x) (if it's a Rom or not, if I only need it to go back to stock with a custom rom on my phone)

That's it ^^

(Sorry if I'm speaking a bad english btw ^^)
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
Ruu file that you download contains many files. Among them you'll see one called rom.zip (stock rom)...

In order to have it installed one needs to :

0. Google, Download and install "HTCsync" just to be sure you have correct drivers installed, and then uninstall "HTCsync" because it can mess up the working of Ruu. drivers that HTCsync installed will remain on your PC even after you uninstall HTCsync

1. Download corresponding Ruu

2. Unzip that file

3. Inside unzipped folder you look for Aruwizard.exe (don't go near the one called "rom.zip")

4. Right click "Aruwizard.exe" and choose "run as administrator"

5. Follow instructions

6. Give kudos to the person who started this thread

7. Upon first boot completition enable usb debugging just to be on the sure side.

8. Done.

[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
Has anyone a link to latest firmware, or Ruu, from 2017?

[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
I have followed the instruction on the very first post. I used this one 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1@50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed but then it's bad image file. So I reformatted again my sdcard then copied new ruu this one 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1_Radio_1.0.U20410.1@60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed after putting it back to phone. Nothing happens, it just sd checking blah blah blah. Help? I really need to get back to rom because i need to give this already to my sibling.

EDIT: Also how would I know if what version does my htc have whether it's europe voda or tmo?
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
[MENTION=7334214]brunkonjaa[/MENTION] I tried your method but it came to have an unknown error while starting the process. The version of ruu i used is this

RUU_M8_QL_UL_L50_SENSE60_TMO_DE_1.13.111.2_Radio_1.0.U20410.1G50408_15.00_016_F_release_431489_signed

since it matches with my CID. I badly needed to get back to stock. I also tried [MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION] method but still got no chance to revert to stock

It's been a day since I've been doing this thing but still not working. I'm so tired. Other concern how could I charge my phone because it keeps rebooting back to bootloader whenever usb is plugged in? Also i tried putting it to ac charger just to charge but the bootloader opens again but it says fastboot ac which is understand that it is charging, but again the problem my phone gets very hot. Really need to get back to stock :(

I've been trying to do all my best to get my phone to stock all day but still nothing is happening good. Other concern how could I charge my phone when it keeps rebooting to bootloader? Everytime I power off with usb cable plug in it goes back to bootloader again. I just wanted to charge my phone to take a rest so I decided to put it on a AC charger but everytime I plugged it in, it goes bootloader again and it says fastboot ac which i understand that it is charging. The problem also is that my phone gets very hot when it stays longer like that. I just really need to get back to stock. I'm so sad about this :(

Help needed for this extremely rare device

hello guys, im kinda new here but because of this model being really rare i cant seem to find a good instruction to get my m8_ql_ul s-off for this tutorial. I'm currently running cm 12.1 but have no root according to root checker (still curious how that worked for me). also I dont know how to verify if its the right ruu for my device, my ciddnum is htc_031. ive been looking for the right one there but with s-on i cant flash it because it cant find md5 file.

Is there maybe someone here that can provide me with some Knowledge ^^

Might be a broken sdcard. I got it when I had a few bad blocks on my sdcard and when I tried it over adb.
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
hi, i have trying to revive this little monkey for a while now...... it all started with a message:

"...device is encrypted, please use your password to decrypt device...... your password was correct but unfortunatly data has been corrupted, please factory reset device...."

Phone just reboots back to same screen: "......device is encrypted, please use your password to decrypt device......

So far i have tried:

1. RUU.exe - doesnt work because the device didnt have USB-Debugging enabled hence the pc cant "see" the phone once it reboots it.

(RUU can successfully detect device while its in hboot but connection drops when device boots past that ("...device is encrypted, please use your password...")

2. Micro SD-card solution (0PKVIMG.zip) with rom copied/pasted from inside the RUU folder seems to be working up to a point where it shows a message "...large image upload..." and then it stops (wrong version)

3. I have tried to unlock the bootloader via HTC-DEV website to try and flash TWRP or just boot TWRP, i received unlock token, got the "...press volume up to confirm bootloader unlock...",

device then reboots and goes straight back to the same screen: "....device is encrypted, please use your password to decrypt device....".

i rebooted device back to hboot and it is still the same:

*** Software status: Modified ***

*** LOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

So, the following is info required, and if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be very, very grateful.

Right now this phone is a project of mine simply because it wont budge, so consider it to be a little experiment - ill take any suggestion or idea, just to see if the problem can be solved.

please and thank You.

I tried relocking the bootloader before following the tutorial but even in the relocking process there are errors. When I relock the bootloader it says ok in the logs and on my phone but there is some weird errors after and on my phone it says "relocked" but it says "security warning" too.

And when I try to install the firmware it says "no image" so I don't know what to do. I can give logs but I have to factory reset my phone again to do it :/

If you rly need logs I'll do it but it's annoying :/

Someone help me please.
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
Since I have two m8s phones, one works just fine and other one is the one I'm still unable to fix, here goes question:

Bad phone has no access to recovery, doesn't reboot to ruu mode (black screen with silver HTC logo), just hboot 3.19.0.0000 os 2.10.771.1, with no usb debugging enabled - could I somehow extract latest recovery and hboot from latest update from the phone that works fine? If so, does correct CID plays a role when trying to flash only recovery ? Since bad phone CID is H3G__001, there is no RUU from which I could extract rom.zip and flash through micro SD card.
[One (M8s) General] sylentears:
As i know that cid only match the release with current device have. Only supercid give us access to install any international ruu according to device model.

If u are in the state of broken partition tables and tried much to get boot into twrp or others.

Must u need to relock your boot loader to get ruu application to work. And command

That reboot phone into black screen with htc logo.

The problem i have seen in past is bootloader block the access to syatem. And disallow to relock the bootloader.

And when u perform the CRC CHECK on fastboot screen. You will see recovery and some partitions as 0x0 size. Post ur success here to get ur issue resolve.
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:

[One (M8s) General] Kaldosh:
Hello Guys.

I am not a pro but I want to share my experience on the large image failed issue as I tried to follow this tutorial but never works for me.

I managed to go back to stock recently mixing technique from this tutorial with a tutorial from HTC M8

In my case I had CM12 installed and a corrupt partition that was only displaying 9go after dirty installs.Had to go back to CM12 after installing Lineage 13 but after a while, I had bootloop problems, and then, a No Sim Card found error. and also couldn't play any music on any player, it would stay stuck on pause.

Any way, I did proceed as follow:

Download HTC Stock recovery,

Dowmload Firmware (in my case it was 1.05 Vodafone UK)

Download the Rom that matches you CID.

First you need to unlock Bootloader and push the HTC stock recovery.

Then I extracted the RUU files and pushed the boot.img included in the RUU

Then i copied the downloded firwmare file, that is only about 220mo and copied it on the sd card, and renamed it OPKVMG.zip (it seems to be better to do this in this order to have a matching MD5.

Then you need to relock the bootloader, once it is done, insert the SD Card with the firmware renamed OPKVMG.zip.

The firmware installation lauched immediately, once installed, I could see it fixed my partition and I had my 16go back.

Then from a Windows PC I Lauched the Armwizard.exe included in the RUU folder and followed the installation procedure.

The phone was then back to stock Lollipop 5.0.2, all working as new, I could then update to MM with no problem.

I am still back to stock at the minute as I bought a 128go SD card wich I adopted at first install, and have no space issue now whatsoever.

Will be happy to install Lineage 13 when it will be more stable as it is a great promising ROM.

I hope this will help the newbies like me that are struggling with this phone and the small amount of info you can found on the web.

I am bnow enjoying again the full potential of this great phone.

Thank you VoidZero and Root Expert for your great work.

Some sense 7 files are now free to download

https://easy-firmware.com/home/browse/category/id/1151/
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
So little update....

Downloaded h3g rom file from easy firmware, renamed it, copied to root of micro sd card, inserted to phone and booted to bootloader.

Straight away phone checked the zip file, showed the pass message on compatibility of the file and started update process. I took a 10-15 minutes, no hiccups or error messages. Everything went smoothly.

Lastly it asked me to press power button to restart the phone. It just went black screen, no vibration, nothing happened. When plugged into wall charger only sign of life is slowly blinking red charging light at the top of the device. Pc identify it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device.

Soooooooo disappointed right now.......

I wonder, since I have another M8qlul which is working just fine, would it be, in any way or form, be possible to create a scatter file and attempt to use qfil or some other qualcomm raw writer to (maybe!) unbrick this "little" headache ?

Any thoughts any one?

It's come to the point where I'll do anything just for the sake of trying, might open up some possible new outlook regarding the device and it's revival possibility.

Oh, I tried all combinations of buttons, all buttons together for minimum 2 minutes, overnight charge, bright light above screen. Won't budge....

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.201:
Hi, i have been using mi3 for about a month. I got the phone used from my brother. But i realised the screen max brightness are very dim and i just can use the phones in less lighting environment because of it. the brightness slider only work until the middle of the slider and also at max brightness the screen kinda flickering on me. Is my lcd faulty?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] toyfreak:
My six-month old Cingular 8525 now has the loose stylus problem so I phoned AT&T for a replacement. (I know this sounds kind of anal but I also know a lot of perple who hang out on xda-developers are particular about their devices...)

To make a long story short, the refurb looks like crap! The black stripe between the screen and keyboard has scrapes on it, the seam between the back grey plastic casing and the black stripe has obvious screwdriver damage where the casing has been pried apart, and the back side of the screen has lots of scrapes from sliding open and closed.

The only good things I can say about the refurb are the LCD overlay looks new and it is AT&T branded. I have not even bothered to install a battery and turn it on.

The phone I take such good care of looks worlds better than this one. I took it to my local store and they agree with me and have noted the account so when I call the warranty department they will hopefully send me a better one (why not just send a new one and get it over with ;))

Is my experience typical? When I was with Sprint I remember getting a couple of refurbs and they looked brand-new.

EDIT: My local AT&T store has been great to work with, making calls to the warranty department, etc. but have not offered to replace the phone (yet?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
No your experience is NOT typical.. I have a Refurb 8525 and it looks BRAND new.. nothing at all is wrong with it.. what you CAN do is call them and tell them something is wrong with the one they sent you and they will send you another one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yes and if memory serves me right, there are standards in the official HTC Service Manual for refurb devices. I seem to remember reading very precise criteria on what is acceeptable in terms of blemishes and what is not.

The service manual is available for download at my web link below.

I have gotten my 8125 replace last year and it look brand new. I just recently got my 8525 replace and it also looked new too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] damoisture:
I returned my 3 month old Cingular 8525 because the Micro SD card slot wouldn't work anymore (physically not holding the cards in). I received what appeared to be a brand new AT&T branded 8525, no problems with it. It even had the new ROM flashed to it, which had only been officially released for a week or two at that point.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dkaye:
No problems with my refurb either - looks and responds like brand new.

I wouldn't say it was intentional they shipped out a very much used machine - but I would definitely question their QC that one that badly used slipped back into the consumer base. Contact a manager and if no help, keep climbing the ladder until you reach someone who WILL help.

Good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] toyfreak:
A local store manager looked at the phone and noted the account. I called the warranty folks again and after being transferred several times they are sending me a new phone, which I should get tomorrow. I wonder what OS will be on it?

EDIT: I just booted a brand-new 8525 and it came with WM5 and the 1.40 radio. Time to flash away...

[T-Mobile HTC One (M9)] RockStar2005:
What is the deal with the Lollipop 5.1 update to the T-Mobile M9? I notice now that since the update was installed, the Power Saver option is no longer is customizable?!! So now you're FORCED to have lower CPU Performance enabled?? WTF HTC?! That's so stupid. This isn't Apple it's Android, so stop forcing ppl who buy your phone to have to put up with slower speeds.

It's bad enough the 810 chip forced HTC to have to throttle/slow down the CPU speed just to avoid overheating (FACT).

If ANYONE knows a way around this w/o having to root, please let me know. Much appreciated!
