So I have an HTC One m7 I used on AT&T, my girlfriend decided she'd like to use it on T-Mobile. So i paid for a service online to unlock it and it was ready to go. booted fine. Yet I rebooted and restored it. It had at the time a custom rom. Yet I accidentally deleted all the roms. So when I try to reboot it sticks in the bootloader. And when I go to restore it says "are you sure you want to restore with no OS installed". No matter what I do it sicks at bootloader. I't's been awhile since i've loaded roms through Odin or however it works now so I'd appreciate help before my women gets pissed. thanks!
should I load up the RUU for t-mobile which she will be using it on, or ATT which the phone was from before unlocked?

If you got the phone from AT&T use an AT&T RUU.
can you link me to the custom RUU? I've downloaded two cingular RUU's for this AT&T phone yet it tries to update my phone then fails... I appreciate any help. Im sitting in bootloader trying to figure out what to load to it. Please help.

Try THIS ONE. I just ran it on my old One and it came out beautiful. Since you're S-OFF, you can run it without issue. You'll still be unlocked and S-Off, in case you want to try again. But everything will be stock, including recovery. Good luck!:good:

Thank u very much for the reply. Downloading right now. Will let u know the result
I rooted my phone thinking it would benefit me, like it did on my EVO 3D, however i cannot have been more wrong. First off all the ROMS i tried (CM11, viper, insert coin,) had either a buzzing noise from the top speaker, or the WIFI didn't work. Second i cannot update the firmware using the OTA update. I download it then try to install and all that happens is it boots into TWRP. I just want to know if there is a way to get it back to normal like i just got the phone. I tried finding my Cid and doing the unlocker method, but i didn't find any Cid labeled spcs_004. Is there just an RUU i can run that will get my phone back on track with sprint? I have the Harmon Kardon model of the M8 BTW. Also i never updated my phone since i got it, so i'm on firmware no 1.54.xxx.xx (i don't know the rest of the numbers off hand).
Go to the thread in the link below. Download the 3.31.654.2 RUU to your computer. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable and boot your phone into Fastboot USB mode. Open up a command terminal with your ADB/Fastboot folder, then re-lock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock (unless you're S-off). Leave your phone and computer connected and from either Fastboot USB mode or while booted to the Android OS double-click the RUU to start the installer. Follow the prompts on your computer screen to install the RUU. For more info hit the second link in my sig and read the RUU section of that guide.

Oh my gosh. If this helps get me back....
I screwed up and tried to flash ARHD v32 without being s-off and I've been without my M8 for 24 hours. And freaking out for the last nine. I knew it couldn't be that difficult to get back to reality.
BOOM shaka lakka!
I was just getting ready to call Sprint and go into a repair facility with some crazy story about how this all happened.
Thank you!:good::good::good:
Time to do some serious reading before I attempt that again.

Okay so I did originally mess up rooting and flashing my HTC One m8 sprint edition. Since that day I succesfully (After 8 hours of horrible things) got it back to factory reset with the exception of S-off and the super cid. The thing is I dont want the super Cid because i DO want the OTA Update. The problem is I was a noob and forgot to save the original sprint CID number. So long story short. Does anyone have the Sprint CID number. Unless the Super CID number gets OTA updates for Stock. PLease and Thanks

SPCS_001: standard Sprint M8
SPCS_004: Harman/Kardon version M8
I have SuperCID and still receive OTA notifications.
Update to reset stock htc one m8
So after doing more research I found that the image that I grabbed for stock android came from a H/K Edition. In fact the phone identifies itself as the as the Harmon edition ( I got the RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173) I was curious as you said that you yourself got OTA updates. Aside from lollipop, which updates did you receive. I only ask because I have heard of phones bricking up after doing an update and then something going wrong because they tampered with their tech. I DO want lollipop, but if it means losing my phone, then it is obviously not worth it.
ALSO looking at that website, I have verified that I got the NON-H/K edition....I am at a loss, I can try flashing it again, but honestly, I hate even looking at fastboot or any bootloader for the time being. Push comes to shove I will go down the rabbit hole again, but I do not want to risk a brick like before.
SIDENOTE: Not sure if its significant, but after flashing that RUU, I lost the weather widget at the top of blinkfeed, It only shows something such as "HIGHLIGHTS" If you would like I can post screen shots.
I am sorry to be such a noob and/or burden, and if you can help i would very much appreciate that if not, could you please direct me to a place where I could figure it out. Possibly a link or a person.
PLEASE AND THANKS!!!

I don't actually install the OTA I flash the previous version stock rom and download the OTA, then pull it from my phone so the devs can use it to build roms and pull the firmware.
It's pretty hard to brick these devices unless you do something really crazy. As long as you can get to recovery or bootloader it's only soft bricked meaning it can be saved.
I would suggest changing your CID back to stock
Code:
fastboot oem writecid SPCS_001
Then run the latest RUU that will put you where you need to be to take the OTA when it comes.
I messed up this phone big time, and I accept all responsibility. However, I would just want to know if it can be salvaged in any way at all possible.
Here is what happened:
I bought the phone on ebay. It was rebooting just after booting up. I read somewhere it had to do with the radio. I flashed the radios for the version yet no improvement. When Lollipop RUU came out I used it to update and it stopped rebooting, but no radio. I flashed it to a CDMA network here, as I usually do, yet no service. I paid for Sunshine and unlocked bootloader. I installed CWM and flashed CM11. No radio as well. I now went into adventure mode: What if I changed CID and install a Verizon RUU, maybe it could help. I changed CID to 11111111 and tried flashing a Verizon M7 RUU. It failed and asked for Model ID compatibilty. I went further and changed Model ID to Verizon (PN0731000) from Sprint Model ID (PN0720000) and there the problem started. The RUU failed again and the phone got stuck in this mode (see attached pictures). Fastboot still works but I think there's a mixup in the CID/MID so it can't take any RUU.
Is this phone recoverable? If yes, how? I will be very happy to try anything, even if it means spending extra to get it done. I would want to fix this and learn from the process.
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved. I had to try so many things, but the good thing is that this phone (once you're S-OFF and can get into fastboot) is virtually unbrickable. At last everything works now, even the GSM unlock. I will try and outline the steps I went through in case someone someday needs it.
Of course no way to install Verizon ruu some hardware differences have been found
I have this phone i have downloaded the RUU from Sprint and also From T-mobile, and i trying a lot of time with each ones, also put the phone in bootloader and download mode, and in all times the error 155 comes appearing.
is there a way to install marshmallow on this variation?
I Concur!
I'm also wondering about this. Is there any way to successfully flash Marshmallow on this device? Us Cricket users are feeling awfully lonely back here.

Alright, man. I doubt you care at this point, but here it is:
I've figured out how to get Marshmallow onto this thing. Follow the instructions in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/flashable-mm-update-zip-626s-t3615689
I've been using my phone like this and not encountered any real issues related to the ROM. Give it a go.
Greetings,
Long story but all well known, I tried to make my phone a developers edition, I tried RUU's could never get them to install but once via fastboot, I don't even remember which ruu's I tried but it's driving me insane, phone is S-OFF and unlocked, CID is super CID and MID is sprint's like I THINK it originally was, the restore went throughbut when I start the phone ir reboots when trying to go through the initial setup after it complains about an app crashing.
Model is m8_whl, it all started because I could not get the phone to update to marshmallow through OTA. At one point I flashed the firmware and I believe that it the issue but I have no clue as to what firmware should I be using.
Help please?
