[SOLVED] Please guys, need help to bring my One back working

Hi guys.
Yesterday i decided to s-off via rumrunner.
I was on a GPE ROM (so yes, rooted, twrp recovery and custom rom) so i downloaded and flashed a sense based ROM as suggested, but after repeating 2 times the 8 pouring attempts i was still s-on.
I decided to try another sense base flashing a ruu back to stock to be sure it was compatible, so I relocked the bootloader.
The ruu install went immediately wrong (FAILED signature check verification). The problem now is that when I power it on it immediately goes in fastboot mode (yes fastboot, not bootloader). If I press bootloader and then recovery it goes back to fastboot.
So I tried another thing: unlock again the bootloader to manually flash back a custom recovery to make it work again.
Great idea, so i prepared back the unlocktoken, flash it and BAM: again signature check verification fail.
If I can't unlock and custom recovery again my only hope I guess its an ruu reset.
Now, I know that I can't revert hboot to an older version, and mine is 1.54.0000 so pretty high, but i tried also a 3.x RUU i found inside the RUU collection thread and got the same error msg.
Also smth must be definitely wrong cause I don't think the Unlocktoken should get that error msg, I never got it!
So to summarize:
- tampered, relocked and s-on 1.54.0000 hboot
- FAILED signature check verification if I try to unlock it via htcdev tocken
- RUU zips get same signature check fail error
- same signature check verification error if I try to manually flash just the boot partition (fastboot flash boot)
Guys I had a Desire, a One XL, a Nexus 4 but I think it's the first time I'm stuck with a completely useless slab and really don't know how to recover it.
Really ANY suggestion to make it boot again would be much appreciated...
Thanks

A) Do you still have custom recovery? If yes, can you enter recovery, and on your PC open a shell: "adb shell", does it show $ or #
can you copy/paste the command prompt
B) did you get a new unlocktocken from HTCdev, or are you using your old one?
Hit thanks button if I've helped, though it to soon to tell if I did

yup i forgot to press it =)
no custom recovery as i said, it just goes back to fastboot, i wanted to unlock it to flash twrp again but this stupid signature check is preventing me from doing anything!
i somehow think that my rom is still inside, just not booting, that's why i also tried to manually flash just the boot.img.
nope, i obtained a new one after the old gave me the error, no luck
really i dont know what to think

A) did you at any point flash a stock recovery? (either using a Guru Reset ROM or fastboot flash recovery etc?)
B) have you tried:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and try to enter RECOVERY (using the volume and power buttons)?

Nope i never wanted to remove TWRP, but does relocking bootloader not flash back the stock one?
Unluckily it just enters fastboot no matter if i power the phone up with or without volume buttons pressed!
I always thought that "if there's fastboot there's hope", but how to bypass the signature check if i'm s-on?
And why the heck does it fail checking signature of the Unlocktoken?

you're definitely in a pickle here.
But when in bootloader screen (the screenshot attached), can you select the second line; use VOL DOWN to get to second line, then press POWER to select it, where does it go?

It vibrates, White screen with Htc logo, it writes 'entering recovery' for half a second and then back to fastboot

OMG the UnlockCode worked!
Just to let you know, i changed absolutely nothing: the command i sent was the same as before and so was the token.
I think that maybe one of the many failed RUU attempts just flashed the partition i was missing, not enough to flash rom but enough to check the signature of the token!
Thx a lot dude, you gave me the hope to try to mess around again =)
Happyyy =))

So go get yourself S-Off, and never go back S-On. S-Off is your "get out of jail" card!!!
Do not relock, unless S-Off, there's a thread somewhere around here where plenty of people weren't able to get HTCdev to unlock again!!
Any other help needed, let me know.

[Q] Bricked after flashing Insertcoin 4.4 ROM (ADB can't find device)

I flashed the ROM in recovery. I thought I was S-OFF but am S-ON. It gave me error code 7 and the installation failed. Now I can't even boot into recovery (it just cycles between the HTC splash screen and then tries booting into recovery for a second. I see the recovery logo and then it reboots).
Holding down the volume down and power buttons I can get into HBOOT, but can't do a factory reset or recovery from there. I can get into the FASTBOOT menu, but my computer just tells me that the device connected has malfunctioned and can't recognize it. running "ADB Devices" returns with no devices found.
I downloaded and ran the RUU, but it can't find the phone. I'm out of ideas. I appreciate any help you guys can offer.

I'm willing to help.. but I am very busy.. can I have a look into this a bit later? Maybe someone else is going to be able to help you.. but if there isn't... I'm going to help you.
To calm down: As long as you can get into your hboot, everything is fine! You are not hardbricked!
Let me know if that's ok for you.

Hey, as long as you're willing to help, I can wait. I'm at work for the next 6 hours and don't really NEED my phone until I get off. So I've got time to wait.

Hmm.. in 3 hours I'm going to sleep.. (Switzerland time zone) And so I write some basic thing that you can test and try out.. so that we can determine what the best steps will be.
First: Give me the output from that command(while in fastboot-ubs):
fastboot getvar all
Click to expand...

Second:
What hboot version do you have? 1.44/1.54/1.55
What's the stock ROM you recieved with the factory fresh phone? z.zz.XXX.z now.. what was the XXX number exactly? The international edition for example is: 1.24.401.7 I only need the 3-digit number.
Third:
Unlocked or Locked/Relocked?

The phone is unlocked, HBOOT version is 1.44
running fastboot getvar all yields "waiting for device" Windows doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. I know I have the correct drivers installed. When it tries to boot into recovery, I briefly see the device show up in Device Manager, but it disappears again. I don't know what the stock ROM was that came with the phone. I want to say it was 1.27.531.8, but I don't know for sure.

Are you in the fastboot mode? I mean you booted your phone into the bootloader.. then you chose "fastboot" and after this there's written "FASTBOOT USB"? and then you got this waiting for device? because simply being in hboot doesn't allow you to use fastboot commands. Sorry if this is a noob question.. but if your device wasn't recognized.. this would be f***ing difficult to get anything running again. This bug with the recovery.. hmmm... don't boot into recovery again.. recovery is connected to adb not fastboot... and to calm down.. here we have a RUU to get back stock(don't use it right now):
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...50.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed.exe

have you tried re flashing a new recovery via fastboot?

I would flash a new recovery, but my computer doesn't seem to be recognizing my device. It does for a second during boot into recovery, but once the recovery crashes and the phone resets, the phone disappears from device manager. It doesn't show backup when I'm in FASTBOOT USB.
I'm going to try it on a coworkers computer.

The phone shows up in Device Manager when I'm in FASTBOOT USB, but not when I'm in HBOOT. I still can't do anything with ADB.
I was able to flash a new recovery with FASTBOOT, but that recovery crashed as well.

If you are still trying for your computer to recognize the adb device and still hasn't then just buy an USB OTG then put an USB to flash a rom from there.

Define crashed? TWRP 2.6.3.0 ? or CWM ? What happens in recovery mode?

adb commands won't work while in fastboot mode/bootloader. fastboot needs to be used while in fastboot mode. While your in fastboot, try
fastboot erase cache
Then fastboot flash your recovery again (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img), and try to access recovery

Thanks for all of your help guys. I finally got it working.

For everyone else reference, mark your thread [SOLVED] and post a brief description how you fixed it..

Can you please say what it says in your bootloader now?
In all honesty, if you can't access the bootloader, you're pretty much f**ked :/
Your last hope is recovery and trying blackrose tool there

Well, that was definately a way to put it xD
But yes. If you can't access bootloader, you may have problems.

oh well, F*** then cuz i cant Access bootloader properly to choose recovery from it
i m going to try few more things,
1. do it via sdcard and fllash it
2. remove radio.img from the OTA and flash it since it gives an error
i can Access bootloader but when i do that, my bootloader shows me
***BlackRose***
some information...
and then it shows in orange "RUU"
i cant Access anthing from it and when i plug charger back in it goes into RUU mode
i know what my problem is, but i cant find any solutions, "fastboot oem lock" is an unrecognised command... does it have to do with something about htcdev.com?

OMG TY FOR ALL UR HELP GUYS my phones fixed and is on GB 2.3.3 now ummm

[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:

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 !!!

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:

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.​

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.

Is it OK for you that I used your error handling strategies?

LibertyMarine said:
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.​
Thanks @Sneakyghost for writing these excellent error handling strat.

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

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

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.
Code:

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.

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 ?

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.

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 ?
