RUU Flashing Doesn't Work... Help!

Okay, this is a pretty interesting situation. I rooted my dad's gunmetal m8 and everything was fine until the OTA update came out. Despite me telling him not to download it, he does anyway and the phone tries to apply the update. He then had a persisted "there is an update available" notification, so he decided to take it to the Sprint store instead of calling me... now it's too late.
I have no idea what they did at the store, but now the phone just reboots every 3 minutes or so. I've tried restoring the NANDROID backup, reflashing new roms, flashing the stock recovery, flashing new versions of TWRP, but nothing, I mean nothing works. Every time I try to do anything to the phone, as soon as I reboot it, the phone is IN THE SAME STATE IT WAS BEFORE THE OEM UPDATE. It's like a weird version of groundhogs day.
Best I can tell is that the bootloader got corrupted and it keeps flashing the same copy of the old rom again and again and again on reboot, so I can do absolutely nothing with this. Whenever I try to flash a new ruu, I try fastboot oem rebootRUU, but when I do, the phone just reboots and repeats the cycle.
Is there any thing I can do, or is this thing a paperweight?
Thanks in advance.

Latest RUU is an exe I'm pretty sure.

Did you HTC unlock it? If so try locking it and ruuing.

fastboot oem lock

I tried all of the above-mentioned solutions before actually posting here. Ran the RUU.exe and every time it tries to boot into the RUU loader (that black screen with the progress bar), the phone just reboots.
Also tried relocking the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) [PGFS] partition_update_pgfs: pg1fs_security
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) deinit_lcd
(bootloader) mipi display off
(bootloader) mdp_clock_off
(bootloader) turn off fd8c2308 failed 1 times. Try again...
(bootloader) disable_mmss_clk done
(bootloader) pll1_disable done
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = -1610744452 (0x9FFDFD7C)
(bootloader) [CRITICAL] SPMI write command failure: cmd_id = 0, error
(bootloader) = 4
(bootloader) [CRITICAL] SPMI write command failure: cmd_id = 0, error
(bootloader) = 4
(bootloader) [INFO] Rebooting device
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 1.146s
Doesn't work. The phone just reboots and everything is as it was. The strangest thing is that the phone data doesn't persist after reboot. For example, I tried moving otacert.zip to otacert.zip.bak in the etc/security folder. Once I reboot, everything is back to the way it was (yes, I already mounted /system as rw)

*bump*
ideas, anyone?

TWRP with locked bootloader?

Hi All,
Is it possible to flash TWRP if bootloader is locked?
Code:
$ fastboot oem device-info
< waiting for any device >
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.283s]
finished. total time: 0.292s
There is nothing said about bootloader on TWRP homepage (https : //twrp. me/devices/xiaomimi3.html (remove spaces)). But I want to clarify this moment at XDA community.
Thanks.

Just installed TWRP 3.0.0.0 at my own risk using article specified in my previous message. All works fine. Sorry, moderators. Please, close the topic.

How to go back from Xiaomi.eu ROM to Global Beta?

Recently i Bought a mi5 but it is installed xiaomi.eu stable version. But i want to get back in official. Even i do not know if my device bootloader is locked or unlocked. What to do?

connect your phone in fastboot mode(VOL DOWN & POWER) and type
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
you should get
Code:
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.059s]
finished. total time: 0.060s
if "Device unlocked: true", then download what ever rom you want and install it
else unlock it..

My phone self destructed???

Hi!
I'm having a very weird issue.... I wanted to try out MIUI so I thought "let's first backup my phone with TWRP". I pressed reboot in OOS the phone turned off and it's dead... It shows the oneplus logo for a split second than reboots.
I can get into fastboot and it is detected but it's super weird
Bootloader version: j
Baseband version: JyDzd+,F F
And my device is suddenly locked for some reason.
Oem device-info:
Code:
D:\ADB&Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel: AÛ.1FNÛB+*µ¨o*ëÕ
(bootloader) Have console: false
(bootloader) Selinux type: <none>
(bootloader) Boot_mode: normal
(bootloader) Kmemleak_detect: false
(bootloader) force_training: true
OKAY [ 0.120s]
finished. total time: 0.120s
Can anyone help me with this?
EDIT: ran fastboot oem unlock, the device unlocked without even wiping the data and it boots but the fastboot screen is still corrupted as hell
EDIT 2: Now it's not even booting anymore... tried wiping everything and flashing a different rom (miui and rr) they all show the boot animation for 10 minutes then freeze and restart

use the unbrick tool
