Exhausted all optiins - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I have a Sprint M8. S On. Flashed a custom rom. I need to go back to stock unrooted. the utility failed because I had the wrong firmware or something. What do I do?

I would just run the RUU against your phone. You can download it from http://dl3.htc.com.s3.amazonaws.com/application/RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.18_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_446215_signed_2.exe

Being S-on you'll need to run a RUU with a software version newer than what you currently have installed on your device.

The ruu you sent didnt work. Error 155.

Run the command fastboot oem lock while in Fastboot USB mode in the bootloader.

You could run my script or downgrade the main version manually, then rerun the ruu.
Edit: you will also have to lock the bootloader after you downgrade main version and before you run the ruu.

I don't know what you're asking. If my script worked and your phone is bootloader locked, just run the ruu in any mode.

[SOLVED] Reversing Incredible S Soft-Brick After Trying to Revert to Stock with RUU

I am literally losing my mind!
About a month ago, I successfully rooted my Incredible S with Revolutionary, which updated my HBoot to 6.13.x, and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 through ClockworkMod Recovery. For various reasons, I needed to give my phone to someone in stock form, so I tried using the rom.zip file from the stock RUU of my phone I found on these forums. After it seemingly completed successfully, except for the fact that it said it couldn't roll back HBoot, it asked to reboot, and ever since then, it repeatedly turns on and off, only making it as far as the first HTC logo. Bootloader still works, while recovery doesn't. Selecting recovery restarts the on-off problem. What should I do to revert to stock? Thanks in advance for ALL help.
Phone is from Bell Mobility, I think.
***Note: I know I shouldn't post unless going through EVERYTHING similar or related, which I've been literally doing for the past ten hours. Nothing has worked.

You need to flash the vivo_downgrade.img in fastboot mode before running an RUU if you have revolutionary s-off
Code:
fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img
grab it here http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img

After you do the fastboot command, you can then run the RUU again and it should then change the HBOOT.

Yeah I did run the RUU after, and after it once again seemingly finished successfully, I rebooted to the same problem, so I just dismissed it. Looking at it now, the Hboot has downgraded. Does this mean that if I run the RUU once more, I"ll be back to stock? Also, S-ON is on as well. Thanks for the help.

If the HBOOT version changed after running the RUU then you are already back to stock.

I'm not sure, but I think the problem I'm having may be that I've been using an RUU that's not Gingerbread, and my radio version is too high to accept it. Could that be it? Radio is 3805.04.03.X.

The radio version changes when the ruu is completed. The version you posted is quite low already, why not install a GB ruu anyway? Could you provide a link to the one that you did run?

I didn't post a radio version before, and this is the link to the original RUU I tried running: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c13...0802U_38.02.01.17_M_release_174461_signed.exe

Yes run the gb ruu, its usually a bad idea to run anything froyo anyway as it usually results in a brick.

Yep, it's fixed now. The problem was that I was using the Froyo ROM when I should have been using the GB ROM, as was pointed out, as well as my HBoot needed downgrading to accept the proper ROM as well. Thank you both for all the help, extremely appreciated.

Boot into fastboot and use "fastboot oem relock" command. But note, your bootloader will show RELOCKED instead of LOCKED once you do that.

Will HTC repair the phone on warrenty when the bootloader is RELOCKED?

Only with S-OFF you can get it to show LOCKED again. This means few additional steps, it's not hard.
I don't know if HTC repairs RELOCKED phones under warranty.

Telus RUU HTC One M7 Error??

Good Evening:
I have a HTC One M7UL with Telus (Canada). I have been having problems with the phone charging while it's on and my last ditch effort is to go back to stock and hope something that's wrong will correct itself.
I have HBoot 1.44, S-Off, returned recovery to stock, relocked bootloader, 1.29.661.
I tried using the RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe to update and return to stock.
Everything goes fine until the RUU asks me to upgrade from 1.29 to which I select "yes" and then I get an Error (158) and it tells me to find the correct RUU.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong or if they have a different RUU that I should be using?
Any assistance that gets this working might receive a "donation"
thanks in advance.

install from recovery, you'll have to unlock your bootloader again though :/ and re name it to rom and just use command adb push rom.zip /sdcard
