[Q] HTC One dead!

Guys I have big problems!
I have a htc one with 1.28.401.7 firmware, s-on, unrooted and unlocked bootloader. Hboot version is 1.44
I tried to install ota update which was corrupted. It screwed up the entire device! I could not go into recovery, i could not factory reset
I tried to reflash the RUU but it didnt work.
I tried installing custom recovery but it used to boot for a second and reboot to rom.
I have no idea what to do!
And now the device has gone dead!
Even if i connect it to the charger the notification light doesnt light up...holding power button doesnt help, power button+volume down doesnt help!
I tried rebooting in adb but it says error device offline!
Please please please tell me what i should do!
Thanks in advance!

Buddy I need a lot of help!
I will tell u what happened in steps:
1. As written in original post, i tried to install an ota update which got corrupted and it screwed up the entire phone
I couldnt boot into recovery, revone was not working, phone was getting hanged every now and then..
2. I had an unlocked bootloader at that time. I relocked the bootloader to flash the RUU again
3. The RUU failed, and the phone was stuck at the grey HTC screen with 4 exclamation marks on 4 corners
4. I unplugged the device and i got the bootloader screen which showed this message:

5. Long press of power, volume up, down nothing works
6. adb doesnt detect the device, but fastboot works
7. I saw your guide and tried to reinstall recovery but it gives this:

What should i do now!
I tried fastboot oem boot but it gives the green htc sign and gets stuck there...nothing moves ahead
What is the state of the device and how do i fix it?
Thanks a lot

1) Were you in rebootRUU while flashing like this(quoted post)? or in normal fastboot?
2) Have you tried "Case 2" of my guide?
ok, first calm down !!!
Edit.... you are s on.... Damnit this won't work here....
Now try this RUU. This will reset your entire phone.!
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
And flash it in the RUU mode.... I think you are stuck in it...
fastboot flash zip "C:\path\firmware.zip"
It wil first give you an Error message... something like that:

After that INSTANTLY reflash it by using the same command(DON'T REBOOT LONG AS THERE WAS AN ERROR BY FLASHING HBOOT I WOULD INEVITABLY AND INSTANTANEOUSLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!):
Code:

Now you get a long output...

Ok, are you now still unlocked? Or locked? if you are locked... we can try things,.. but I don't think it will work...
And since you were locked.... there shouldn't be an danger of flashing the RUU... because it doesn't flash the bootloader...

hey @anibjoshi, you'll do better if you just have one thread open on your problems (see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630333).
stop panicking and start listening to the excellent advice @LibertyMarine is giving you and maybe you'll get your phone working again.

Maybe this will work for you: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.nl/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html
Good luck!

re:
I had same problem few days ago, after that famous 4.4.2 update, my phone was screwed. I played a lot around with it, then I came to thingie that my /data partition was gone, so I had to recover it, and what Ronnymes in post before mine said, did help me a lot (link), I got my /data partition back, but you need to be really careful when working with all that...
Now since I read a bit this thread, I'd say you have problem not entering recovery at all (or at least just splashscreen of recovery) and then reboot. Or when you let your phone normal boot into OS, it ends rebooting in infinite loop.
I had same problem, you wouldn't believe what I did.
So to solve this problem I did next, but you must have working drivers on computer, so that it recognizes phone while it is in fastboot:
- Hold Vol - rocker and power button to enter bootloader
- select Fastboot with volume rockers and hit power button to enter it
- connect phone to PC while in Fastboot (it should change from Fastboot to Fastboot USB)
- open Command Prompt on you PC where you have all necessary files for fastboot and adb
- type (without quotes): "fastboot devices" just to be sure that device is attached, it should write down serial no of phone and fastboot after that
- now type: "fastboot oem lock" this will lock your bootloader
- after this do the process of unlocking bootloader by help of htcdev.com
- when you done unlocking bootloader flash whatever custom recovery to phone (I like CWM)
After these steps you should have working bootloader and recovery... now make sure that all your partitions on phone are in tact, be careful when doing that because not every HTC One has same addresses for all partitions, there is command for checking partition table on you device.
Cheers...

Sorry for replying so late...i was travelling to another city..
The device is stuck in rebootRUU
I tried flashing recovery in rebootRUU...was that the reason it failed?
I am relocked now...relocked, s-on
I will flash the zip twice as u instructed...do u have any other specific instructions regarding that flashing?
If the flashing fails for the second time, what do i do? will long press still brick the device?
I am downloading that zip right now...but it will take some time to download..so maybe i will wait for your reply on this before i flash
And i really really appreciate how much you are doing for me...u are a life saver
I just hope the device starts working soon
Thanks

Hmm, I hope this works... since you are hboot 1.44 I think this RUU should be a working one... I have here quoted what you have to do in case of an error:
Error handling strategies:​IF IT SAYS "FAILED" do not immediately reboot the device If you reboot with a FAIL it could not boot up anymore! It could brick! If no flash is being accepted you have to find out what is causing the malfunction before rebooting your phone. Keep it alive while trying to figure out the error. It might be your cable, your USB ports (dont use hubs! Always straight-to-mainboard connections), it might be USB 3.0 which is not good yet, it might be bad configuration of your ADB and Fastboot... there are many possible sources for flash fails.
The least dangerous FAILED messages are listed below and are safe to reboot:
Safe to reboot / Flash didn't happen Errors (if you encounter one of them, you can just reboot. Nothing changed):
- 12 signature fail (unknown yet but safe to reboot)
- 23 parsing image fail (means something wrong with the image in the zip)
- 32 header error (means the zip couldn’t be read and unzipped properly)
- 41 Wrong Model ID (means its not the right device)
- 42 Wrong Customer ID (wrong CID means you gotta swap cid first as explained below)
- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions WITHOUT a reboot inbetween).
- 99 UNKOWN (is not yet clear but safe to reboot, might indicate a defunct S-OFF or S-ON)
- 155 you did not lock your bootloader (Needs a relock for S-ON phones that want to update the firmware.)​
In fact, if it aborts before the "(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping & flushing..." line it actually didn't write anything and you can probably just reboot. If you see it flashing stuff though (the stages after that line) and then it stops with a FAILED, chances are a little higher that something is now broken. In that case do NOT reboot but do as i said above.
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
For Error 23 "parsing image fail" do:
- change image names in the zip to stock image names like “hboot.img" or “radio.img" or whatever failed there....
For Error 32 "header error" do:
- Sorry i haven’t found the exact cause yet and don’t know a definite solution.
- Make sure there is only one . (dot) in the filename, before the extension. fastboot reads anything after the first dot it sees as the extension. If that is not zip, it fails.
- If that doesn’t help, you can also try: make the zip new with recommended settings, re-run the command, check your connections...
For Error 42 "Wrong Customer ID" and: 41 "Wrong Model ID" do:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Read that output, take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly (For Wrong MID change the MID in the text, for wrong CID add your CID to the text).
Alternative method for MID and CID errors:
go SuperCID. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
You can change back to any desired CID after a successfull firmware flash. Notice: this command only works on S-OFF phones (which you have already of course or else you wouldn't be here).
For “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." do:
- Run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)
- Don’t reboot in-between! (It wouldn’t brick you but it would just make you run the flash command twice again)
- This might be caused by the newer encrypted RUU's, they need their hboot to be flashed first so it can then decrypt the rest of the ROM.zip. Look at an encrypted ROM.zip from a RUU, you will notice that you can mostly extract the hboot without decrypting the ROM.zip, but you can't extract much else.)
For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- Tell me if you find out what’s causing an unknown error here!
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- run the fastboot command “fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware. There a relocked bootloader is required. This error won’t show on S-OFF phones.
- Error 155 can also mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of wrong region lock.
For “Error 170 Check USB" do:
- Sometimes shown when running a RUU or FUU. Indicates issues with drivers or ADB/Fastboot binaries. One way to solve is to run the exe with the phone already in Fastboot mode. Else you will have to dig into your windows driver system and try to fix there. Best option: re-install HTC Sync manager. Also, avoid USB 3 ports (the blue ones) - they have a complete new driver stack and that doesn’t work with ADB and Fastboot.​

Guys I have big problems!
I have a htc one with 1.28.401.7 firmware, s-on, unrooted and unlocked bootloader. Hboot version is 1.44
I tried to install ota update which was corrupted. It screwed up the entire device! I could not go into recovery, i could not factory reset
I tried to reflash the RUU but it didnt work.
I tried installing custom recovery but it used to boot for a second and reboot to rom.
I have no idea what to do!
And now the device has gone dead!
Even if i connect it to the charger the notification light doesnt light up...holding power button doesnt help, power button+volume down doesnt help!
I tried rebooting in adb but it says error device offline!
Please please please tell me what i should do!
Thanks in advance!

This can be very hard to recover and I dare say it's nearly impossible via a forum, best would be to have the phone in my hands if I was to help here.
However, since you did almost nothing bad except the unlock, I'd try to talk to HTC customer support, then try to get your case elevated so a higher support office can waive off the bills you'd get from the service center.
Arguments:
The device got messed up from an ota, which is a safe process designed to not harm the device. Any mishap there would normally be covered under warranty. Now, you'd admit that you unlocked, be honest, don't lie, but also point out that you did not even root the device. Neither did you touch Security.
So, in this case, there is no reasonable argument to deny you warranty.
Although legally you agreed to losing warranty entitlement when unlocking.

- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions WITHOUT a reboot inbetween).
- 99 UNKOWN (is not yet clear but safe to reboot, might indicate a defunct S-OFF or S-ON)
- 155 you did not lock your bootloader (Needs a relock for S-ON phones that want to update the firmware.)​
In fact, if it aborts before the "(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping & flushing..." line it actually didn't write anything and you can probably just reboot. If you see it flashing stuff though (the stages after that line) and then it stops with a FAILED, chances are a little higher that something is now broken. In that case do NOT reboot but do as i said above.
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
For Error 23 "parsing image fail" do:
- change image names in the zip to stock image names like “hboot.img" or “radio.img" or whatever failed there....
For Error 32 "header error" do:
- Sorry i haven’t found the exact cause yet and don’t know a definite solution.
- Make sure there is only one . (dot) in the filename, before the extension. fastboot reads anything after the first dot it sees as the extension. If that is not zip, it fails.
- If that doesn’t help, you can also try: make the zip new with recommended settings, re-run the command, check your connections...
For Error 42 "Wrong Customer ID" and: 41 "Wrong Model ID" do:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Read that output, take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly (For Wrong MID change the MID in the text, for wrong CID add your CID to the text).
Alternative method for MID and CID errors:
go SuperCID. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
You can change back to any desired CID after a successfull firmware flash. Notice: this command only works on S-OFF phones (which you have already of course or else you wouldn't be here).
For “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." do:
- Run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)
- Don’t reboot in-between! (It wouldn’t brick you but it would just make you run the flash command twice again)
- This might be caused by the newer encrypted RUU's, they need their hboot to be flashed first so it can then decrypt the rest of the ROM.zip. Look at an encrypted ROM.zip from a RUU, you will notice that you can mostly extract the hboot without decrypting the ROM.zip, but you can't extract much else.)
For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- Tell me if you find out what’s causing an unknown error here!
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- run the fastboot command “fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware. There a relocked bootloader is required. This error won’t show on S-OFF phones.
- Error 155 can also mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of wrong region lock.
For “Error 170 Check USB" do:
- Sometimes shown when running a RUU or FUU. Indicates issues with drivers or ADB/Fastboot binaries. One way to solve is to run the exe with the phone already in Fastboot mode. Else you will have to dig into your windows driver system and try to fix there. Best option: re-install HTC Sync manager. Also, avoid USB 3 ports (the blue ones) - they have a complete new driver stack and that doesn’t work with ADB and Fastboot.​

When I tried to flash the RUU.exe, it did not work...it gave me the error that I have posted...can you tell me what that error meant?
Cuz i feel i will get the same error when I run the RUU.zip
So if the same thing happens I can be better ready for it

Sneakyghost said:
This can be very hard to recover and I dare say it's nearly impossible via a forum, best would be to have the phone in my hands if I was to help here.
However, since you did almost nothing bad except the unlock, I'd try to talk to HTC customer support, then try to get your case elevated so a higher support office can waive off the bills you'd get from the service center.
Arguments:
The device got messed up from an ota, which is a safe process designed to not harm the device. Any mishap there would normally be covered under warranty. Now, you'd admit that you unlocked, be honest, don't lie, but also point out that you did not even root the device. Neither did you touch Security.
So, in this case, there is no reasonable argument to deny you warranty.
Although legally you agreed to losing warranty entitlement when unlocking.

I dont have warranty..lol
Also, the device did boot up later...but still couldnt enter recovery or anything..but still could boot to rom
I was unlocked so i relocked it and ran an ruu.exe
It failed and now the phone is stuck in rebootRUU
adb doesnt work but fastboot does
Does that make my chances better? *hoping

Fastboot reboot
That will get your device out of ruu mode.
Let's us know if it does

Can not write anything via Fastboot and Phone is in Bootloop :( kindly Help!

I am unable to write any thing via bootloaders (i.e. recovery, zip, ruu etc) i have also tried to restore my phone via RUU...setup is shutting down the device but do not boot it up again in bootloader so the setup could proceed with flashing the RUU (as it suppose to)... i m uploading the cmd screen shot for your kind perusal, kindly help me out as well please...
these steps i have tried as yet:
tried (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
Tried Flashing OTA firmware (fastboot update firmware.zip)
Tried RUU.exe setup
i can not even flash recovery... whenever i attempt to do so it gives an error as attached!
seems like some sort of security has been activated but can be a hardware issue as well... Please HELP!
Please advise what should i do or what can be done in this matter

Just a couple of shots in the dark.. disable any antivirus also check you have latest fastboot maybe download latest android sdk which will have it and try again.
Try another pc or cable.

what was the last thing the phone had on it ? I see the bootloader is unlocked so did it already have a custom recovery ? custom rom ? Rooted ?
have you turned the phone completely OFF holding the powerbutton and volume up and down for 2 min ?
did you try a factory reset with stock recovery ?
when you tried the RUU.exe what was the error and what file did you try ?

thats how i messed my set up: i was on TWRP 2.6.3.3 which was working perfectly fine then i thought it would be better if i'd flash a latest recovery so flashed 2.7.0.4 then i tried to flash latest build of insertcoin with that messed up recovery which got me stuck on 7% while flashing the rom, so i restarted by set after waiting for 5 minutes or so... then i tried going in to recovery again and tried to do a factory data reset to reflash the rom... recovery stuck on factory data rest n made me reboot my set... since then the situation is same for me
i did the 2 minutes trick, since my phone is not hard bricked so its just making the set booting again and again in fastboot mode thats it!
yes i did factory reset but with twrp then i got stuck at where i m now... plus i m unable to flash anything on emmc since then...
when i tried RUU.exe the setup shut my phone down but do not restart it in fastboot mode (how it should) i tried to boot my phone manually but didnt help...
Please advice any thing else

2.7.0.4 is for Sprint
Can you force the phone into fastboot oem rebootRUU and try and flash from their?
you can extract the signed Rom.zip from the RUU and flash it that way
the Rom.zip will be in c:\users\yourusername\appdata\local\temp\somerandomfolderthatwasjustcreated (sort by date)(also you have to view hidden folders to see appdata in the user folder)
mine was here "C:\Users\Cliff\AppData\Local\Temp\{A3096E6D-C55A-4EA1-B6B1-1E95174B190C}"

Type adb devices (in windows cmd) when in sideload mode from your recovery
If that doesn't work out
1. adb kill-server
2.adb usb
3.adb devices
If still nothing use a different port and try again
If you get an error that looks like
error
error
Unplug usb cable and go again
I soft bricked my phone on monday and learned alot while trying to fix it. One of the things with adb I noticed (and read somewhere) is that if something fails you can't just run the command again. It will fail. You have to kill the server and start over.
Also don't use windows 8. Its a nightmare for this.
Best of luck bro

What is the phone booted to when you adb devices? It will not respond when in bootloader. The phone is in Fastboot mode and will only respond to Fastboot commands. Type "Fastboot devices" and it should pop up.
Are you able to boot to recovery? If so, try "adb devices" while in recovery. If it responds, try to sideload a new Rom. If you cannot run recovery, you will have to reflash recovery or ruu.
If you cannot run adb commands in recovery, it is most likely driver issues. If you are able to use OTG to flash a Rom from recovery. (OTG cable and an SD card)

Running Windows 7 with the phone connected with a USB 2.0 port , adb also didnt work. adb devices couldn't find my phone, strange thing
because fastboot devices DID see my phone.
Then i connected the phone to a macbook pro and with the same cable both adb and fastboot worked just fine.
So maybe your using a USB 3.0 port, if so try a 2.0 port. Maybe try another USB cable and if that doenst help, you could try Windows 7 or XP or even Ubuntu or Mac OS.

I assumed you went to adb sideload mode already. You don't adb from fastboot mode. You have to go to the adb sideload section of your recovery. If TWRp is your recovery check in advanced. Fastboot is only for fastboot commands

One more thing. I think this is the final piece of the puzzle. You are are using TWRP.

If you are getting an ADB error, cancel the sideload from your phone, unplug and replug your phone, and restart the process. Also I checked around and found this: You may need to manually put the adb and fastboot files in your /usr/bin/ folder. Some users have the same issue and that seems to fix it. Someone confirmed it worked for them. I'd try the other stuff first tho

[Q] Seemingly strange soft brick happening to my phone

Hey guys, I've tried searching everywhere for info related to my situation, but couldn't find any...hopefully someone here will be able to help.
This all started earlier today, when I was using my phone (AT&T, m7, converted to GPE) as normal. I was at work, browsing Facebook or whatever, when suddenly I got a quick notification that Gapps had force closed. A few seconds after that, the phone suddenly restarted.
From there, I noticed the Google splash logo had a strange pixelated band across it, as shown in the attached photo.
Then it proceeded to bootloop.
After trying a couple basic things, none of them succeeded, and I decided to just wait until I got home, at which point I tried to enter recovery. It took me to the bootloader, which looked pretty weird, as it had a bunch of jumbled letters in the options, also shown in the attached photo.
From there, all I could get to was stock recovery. I tried flashing TWRP, but it wouldn't recognize ADB, and then I tried to flash using fastboot. Fastboot would accept the commands "./fastboot devices" (which recognized that my phone was connected) and "./fastboot getvar all." Any other command, including "./fastboot flash recovery" would give me the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed)".
I'm now at a loss. As you can see in the photos, my bootloader is unlocked, with S-OFF. I have no idea how to recover from this.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Oh, also, I'm on a Mac, with Yosemite.

Ouch, that doesn't look nice at all!!!
are you able to get to RUU mode? "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
if yes then you should flash a full ruu.zip to try and restore your messed up partitions (obviously this will wipe your phone)

yep, doesnt look nice at all in here :crying:
could be a hardware problem... i'll check in tomorrow, can't do this tonight sorry
PS: recommend you also try a different pc (mac, Win7, linux), with up to date adb/fastboot (and if needed [ie Win7] drivers), stay away from USB3 ports or any hubs.... seems hboot is corrupt, and only way to flash that is using ruu mode, or using a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM... even rooted ROM would do)

Great, I appreciate your help!
Yeah, looking like it could be a hardware issue, huh? That's what I was afraid of, especially since it seemed to happen randomly without me doing anything to directly cause it.
I'll try using a different mac tonight (no PCs around me I can borrow that I can think of).
If hboot is corrupted, but I can't do anything but access flashboot and I can't even flash from fastboot, it looks like I might be a little screwed?

yes, unfortunately, i'm inclined to believe it's a hardware fault (not of your doing!!)
there are only two ways i know of, of "messing"/"fixing" partitions (including hboot <only when s-off>), and those would be
1) ruu mode flash <- highly preferred
2) "dd" <-very bad, if you mistype a single character... boom
and yes,
3) given you current firmware, there may be a way to get somewhere even "worse" or "better" ....
but in all likelihood it's probably a hardware fault, nothing you did wrong

Okay, here's one little thing I hadn't thought of yet. As I said in my first post, I could get into the Stock Recovery (Android system recovery <3e> KOT49H.H1 release-keys). Also, a few weeks ago I finally bought a USB OTG cable.
Don't know why it took me this long to think about trying it, but I finally realized I should see if the stock recovery could detect a USB drive plugged into the OTG cable when "apply from an SD card" is selected. Of course, it could.
So! That seems like it might be a possible way to flash what I need to flash, correct? If so, what exactly should I try flashing? I'm worried that I'm in a really precarious spot here and I don't want to flash the wrong thing and lose the ability to use even stock android recovery.
Should I try reflashing the bootloader? TWRP? (if it screws up the TWRP flash will I lose stock recovery?) Something else?

Stuck in fastboot - No running ROM, recovery , ADB

Dear Community,
I reached a state with my mobile phone where I really do not know anymore how to proceed to get back to any running ROM on my HTC Mini 2. :angel:
I read the other threads on this topic, but they did not help my situation.
Maybe someone see's what I am missing, or what I can do about it. In the end, I would like to go back to a CM 11 / CM 13 ROM, but as I understood, I should first go back to stock to enable S-off, using a nandroid recovery backup. Then flash a new custom rom. However I am stuck without any recovery running properly. Only the hboot/fastboot menu is working, and the phone will always boot there again.
Some more info:
- ADB does not work currently. I tried Win and OSX , so I believe its the phone rejecting it.
- With stock recovery, reading in the 0P8BIMG.zip RUU file containing a 2.19.401.2 or 2.18.401.3 system fails.
- Flashing recovery TWRP 2.8.5.0 / 2.8.1.0 works, but the phone will not start it.

sending 'recovery' (11796 KB)...

Is there any way for me to start over on a lower level ? Or is a mobile shop / HTC my only solution left?
Thanks a lot for any feedback!

faiv

you dont need S-OFF to install ROM just Bootloader unlocked.
Just because you can flash the recovery doesn't mean its the correct one, try the one in here
You need HTC drivers for ADB to work. (see link above)
After flashing recovery you can flash the rom using your preferred method.

Unfortunately, it does not help. I flashed the recovery you suggested, and I still cannot boot into recovery.

I have the HTC Sync manager installed. Last time ,this was enough to get the drivers as well.
Just tested the other adb.exe plus the api as well. Does not work.

try to unlock bootloader again(just last step) , i remember having same kind of problem before, with the hboot.
and of course you are using original HTC cable?

I tried unlocking again already, but I must admit that you got me with the last one. I'm using other cables.....(there are many...how do I recognize the right one ? )
Will report back with the proper one, but I seriously believe that mine are fine.
Besides this, what would be your next guess ?

ok we need to go step by step.
Check the shape of the cable maybe you'll get lucky. EBAY if not buy one. they are very cheap.
2nd in hboot try to enter recovery, if still error i need to know what it does, ei: black screen, red letters, etc.

ok. so you dont have a recovery installed or its corrupted.
please be patience as every case its different and it takes trial and error until we figure out.
1-type command fastboot erase cache
2- flash stock recovery
3-relock oem. fastboot oem lock
in HBOOT enter recovery and erase phone. (NOTE: to enter recovery you need to press power+vol- after the red triangular)
4- get new token to unlock BOOTLOADER
5 -flash TWRP
all this because you need stock recovery to properly unlock bootloader.

Thanks for your help, first of all I can not unlock with Htcdev my bootloader. It is still locked. When I try to unlock and type unlock_code.bin, it asks me yes or no and I choose yes, it reboots and stucks on the logo screen again. I reboot again with volume down + power and see it is still "locked" .
When I try to flash stock recovery I type the flash recovery code and I get this message "writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)".. So Don't know what to do. I can not unlock, I can not flash recovery and I can not flash any stock rom because my main is : 2.19.401.2. So if I want to flash 2.18.401.3 RUU it says me your os is older. I am desperate I hope you can help dude. Thanks

ok so now you saying its LOCKED?
can yo send a hboot pic?
before trying next step..do you have an sdcard inserted in phone? if so remove and restart phone(corrupted sdcard will freeze phone logo)
if still stuck in logo try next step, if LOCKED
download RUU
- RENAME THE RUU FILE TO 0P8BIMG.zip AND PLACE IN THE ROOT OF SD CARD
- SWITCH OFF DEVICE
- HOLD VOL DOWN AND POWER KEY
- SOON AS DEVICE ENTER BOOT LOADERS IT WILL START READING THE PLACED FILE AND FLASHING SHOULD START SOON.

Yes it is LOCKED. I add HBOOT pic as atached, I tried to flash RUU but it says me "your main version is older " so i can not flash 2.18.401.3 RUU. I found this one (2.19.401.2_boot_system_2015-09-21--20-48-04_KOT49H.zip )and tried to flash but it didn't work (on boot menu it says no image found)

thx for the picture.
you hboot shows that nothing has been done to the phone. so it was NEVER unlocked as stated in original post.
At this point im gonna suggest get your self an original usb cable because the one you using its no good. its giving you wrong info and it seems some get to the phone but corrupted and thats why unlock fails.
im trying to create a new updated RUU but might take some time.
please get OTA cable and try to unlock

You are right, it is never unlocked as I told you before. My cable is original itselfs cable. My phone is never unlocked, never rooted and never made s-off. So what do you suggest now ?

while i try to compile an ruu, try to unlock it.
Start over from scratch. get new token, this time choose "all other devices" in Dev HTC.
after clicking "yes" Wait at least 10 minutes before stress out.
let me know

Ok I'll try and let you know

I did exactly what you did. I got new token and choose "all supported other devices" in HTCdev. I took pictures of every step. It didn't work again after 3rd picture If I press volume up + power, it says "Device CW install : can't mount /data" and goes black screen and charging. If i don't press anything it goes black screen again and then chargin again as you can see on the 5th picture. So I can not unlock
By the way, If I choose recovery or factory reset on bootloader menu, I get the same result. (2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pictures).

Sorry but it seems I'm unable to help you.
The picture shows green letters behind the red ones. It means the flashing fail, maybe it rejected the recovery or because its locked.
Either way your problem is, your system and recovery are corrupted.
My advice is contact HTC and send for repair. They usually don't charge you.

Ok dude thanks a lot. I'll contact HTC, i hope they can help ?
