[HTC One A9] santiago013:
I found the solucion to recover the Download mode

You need the file DECRYPT RUU posted by Captain_Throwback.... that works on a linux Os i use Ubuntu with all the updates.

The stock Ruu.zip of your A9

My A9 is S-off and Supercid and erase my Download mode upgrading 6.0 to 6.0.1

Whit the A9_Ruu_decrypt_CPTB_v1.5.3.zip posted by Captain_Throwback get three files of RUU or your 2PQ9IMG.zip

These are:

system.img

boot.img and

a folder named Firmware----We just need some .img firmware files

On windows put the files on the folder HTC Sync: aboot_signed, cota, hosd_signed, rpm-8952-1 (i thinks tha may vary), recovey_signed, dsp, keymaster

flash on bootloader via fastboot.

(if you want to help others to find the exact file put the command: adb reboot download on every flash .img)

if not works reenter to bootloader mode and flash de next file.

i flash all and forgot do that.

I hope excuse the English and some Senior correct that

When yoy find the Download Mode .img

I think it would be good flash the recovery_signed to format data, then go back to download mode. Now you continue testing roms
