ICS upgrade - boot loop - can't fix - bricked?

I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)​
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip​
But at step 3 I get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot flash lib lib.img
sending 'lib' (155648 KB)...
OKAY [ 27.553s]
writing 'lib'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 52.417s
C:\adb>​
Please help! I’m close to considering myself properly bricked, and using that as an excuse to go and buy a OneX.

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

I should have mentioned, I already tried that. However, I will try it one more time. I tried so many things - if I try it again in isolation, I will be 100% sure I am telling you the truth.
Thanks for the reply.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

Did you use this script to downgrade and then flash gb ruu?

If so run it and post up the results. It may not.be downgrading your mainver correctly.

Any ideas anyone?

What is the status of your bootloader? Is it locked, unlocked or relocked? If it is locked you may have to answer n to is the phone rooted to give temp root. If not on page 76 of this post there is the same issue.

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

[Q] Flashing new RUU, Data length too long error.

Hey guys, I'm trying to update my RUU in order to get Viper One to work on my phone.
The guys over on their IRC chat helped me out a bunch already, sending me to this XDA post on how to do it and where to get it from.
I downloaded the Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.03.651.3_RUU.zip and renamed it Firmware.zip and attempted to flash it to my phone.
When I do that, I end up with this:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (1560679 KB)...
FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)
finished. total time: 0.006s
What does it mean by "data length is too large"? And more importantly, how do I fix this and flash the RUU I need??

How to use:
-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.03.651.3_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader (S-ON ONLY)
-from pc, run ARUWizard.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock

alright I didnt wanna have to do that, I prefer to do it myself if i can, but if thats how you do it then thats what I gotta do I guess.
Does it matter if I've relocked my bootloader if I have s-off? to where it has the *** RELOCKED *** flag? If it does, how do I undo that?
Edit: Nevermind, Viper is proving to be too much of a hassle so im going back to Cyanogen and forgetting about all of this.

You will probably need to run a RUU to reset your phone. If you can not find a RUU, post a fastboot getvar all except for the imei and serialno so we can research it.
What custom recovery are you using?

Here is the stock rom 6.09.401.5 you will have to flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB. Copy the file to your adb/fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip. Open a command window on that folder and type:
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

If you are S-OFF then you would flash it in fastboot. If you are S-ON then you will need to flash this nandroid backup in TWRP. You just need to extract the folder and place it in the folder with the rest of your TWRP backups. If you don't have any, then just get into TWRP and select Backup. Then just copy the file to the same folder as your last backup.

Did you get the nandroid to work or did you try to flash ARHD 53.0 again? You also might try TWRP 2.6.3.3 it seems to work with most roms.
Here is firewater s-off it is the only free one that will work with your high hboot. If you get "whelp that sucks" message then firewater will not work for your phone. You then could try Sunshine S-OFF, however it will cost $25.

Did you make a backup as I instructed? If so, then copy the nandroid extracted folder to your phone in the same directory that backup is in /TWRP/BACKUP/<YOUR SERIALNO>/<NAME OF FOLDER>. Then boot into recovery and select Restore; you should see the extracted folder; select it. This will put your stock rom on your phone. If this doesn't restore your imei then you will need to return the phone to a service center.

Did you make a backup as I instructed? If so, then copy the nandroid extracted folder to your phone in the same directory that backup is in /TWRP/BACKUP/<YOUR SERIALNO>/<NAME OF FOLDER>. Then boot into recovery and select Restore; you should see the extracted folder; select it. This will put your stock rom on your phone. If this doesn't restore your imei then you will need to return the phone to a service center.

Bootloader is UNLOCKED and installed TWRP version openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7ul.img (others don't detect USB OTG).
When istalling the ROM there is an option to check information of the System (Picture 1 Attached). Give -1 MB ! Is that NORMAL

Is your storage correctly detected when in twrp install menu or showing 0MB ?
Now i RELOCK bootloader and try to install STOCK rom

First file is an ota update, will not help, its only a patch not a complete software. This one for example is the update from 2.24.708.4 to 3.63.708.3...
Second file is a ruu and should work. What is your "fastboot getvar all"? Are you using htc_fastboot.exe to flash this ruu or the normal fastboot.exe?
I use Special Fastboot driver

What do you mean exactly? You don't have to use any "special" fastboot drivers. Make sure you have the latest HTC drivers installed on your computer and that you have the latest sdk tools (adb and fastboot) along with htc_fastboot.exe to flash the ruu.

"error: cannot load 'firmware.zip'" error in HTC ONE M8

Hi there,
I recently got a Sprint HTC M8(Non HK) with android version 4.4.2 and software number 1.54.651.8.
I tried to flash the firmware before flashing the RUU to update it to marshmallow(6.0). But when i tried to flash it using adb i get this error message(error: cannot load 'firmware.zip').
Also i have copied the file where my adb.exe and fastboot.exe and also renamed it to firmware.zip.
here are my cmd commands:
C:\Users\donsh.DESKTOP-BDD1FFG>adb reboot bootloader
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
C:\Users\donsh.DESKTOP-BDD1FFG>fastboot oem lock

Update: My device is S-OFF and boot loader locked. I have no custom recovery installed too.( I don't know if i would be needing a custom recovery to flash the firmware and if it's needed could i get a link on how to flash a custom recovery, newbie here)

go to the windows folder settings and uncheck the option "Hide extensions of known file types". It appears that the file name is "firmware.zip.zip" at the moment if it is indeed in the same folder. after that, remove the extra .ZIP from the file name and try again.

Well I did this method and it worked,
Installed twrp recovery
Flashed it using "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip.zip" and it got flashed but now when I try to flash the Rom I keep encountering the error "target reported max download size of 1826418688" any fixes or workarounds for this?

Are u using htc_fastboot.exe? If not then download and use that one instead of just fastboot.exe

i tried using both exe but still no luck with, i think it has something to do with storage

As per my knowledge, this issue sometimes either happens due to incorrect firmware OR by using fastboot instead of htc_fastboot. Did u flash the firmware twice? And can you tell me what are the contents of the rom's zip file?

I flashed the firmware successfully with normal fastboot.exe
(I flashed it twice since I failed at the first try) and my Rom is a full signed HTC non hk, I'm not sure if I should do a factory restore and then try it
