[One (M9) General] MeltdownSpectre:
Hey guys, I have a HK Variant One (M9), when I bought it, it was on 1.40.708.9 (5.0.2), I checked settings and there was no OTA update available.

I saw Xunus had posted one OTA for 2.11.708.27, so I downloaded it, tried flashing it through ADB sideload, that showed 'Cannot read file' for the OTA.

I tried flashing through download mode (renaming it to 0PJAIMG.zip), it failed. I confirmed my CID was HTC_622 and I had HK Variant M9, however it wouldn't install the OTA.

I extracted firmware.zip from it and flashed it through fastboot oem rebootRUU command.

First result:

Rebooted for the 3rd time, and it just will not boot up.

I am S-ON with LOCKED bootloader. I was told by [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] that I could flash FW with locked BL and S-ON.

However, it doesn't boot now.

What do I do?

Download mode shows OS as 2.11.708.27.
