Please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (do not post the imei number)
If the phone is still on hboot 1.44, the firmware might be to old to run newer roms. Also what version of twrp is installed on the phone?
okay

VODAP304 is firmware base x.xx.161.x. There is a recent ruu for this version (7.18.161.51). In order to flash this ruu, you'll probably have to update the firmware first (7.18.161.2 firmware).
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot reboot
If your bootloader is unlocked you will need to relock it before doing the above commands. You can find htc_fastboot.exe here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24341993505161791

Hello,
i'm reading here for some weeks and this forum helped me much so far. Now I made a bad mistake while flashing the latest firmware on my One and it seems that I have bricked it.
What have I done?
I used ARHD 5.1 GE on my One with an older firmware. Before that I was using ARHD 4.1. Data of my phone:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.55.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.62.401.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4260mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-bb768ae1
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I changed to SuperCID, before that I had VODAP102. Bootloader is relocked.
After flashing latest firmware, my sdcard got wiped. So I have no backups or any other data on my phone. The phone stops booting after the white screen with the "HTC" logo and shows a turquoise color with little stripes and nothing happens.
I tried to flash another firmware, as you can see in the phone's details. That worked, but changed nothing. I can't install a rom, because adb doesn't find my device, but fastboot does. I tried several HTC-drivers and cables and USB-slots. Nothing.
I read several How-To's but I got stuck with this. Even tried to install the 1.28.401.7 RUU, but that stops with Error 155. After first time that error occured I relocked my bootloader, but that didn't help. I can't push files to the phone, because adb doesn't work.
Now only one thing left: Asking you for help. I'm somewhat frustrated.

1- remove IMEI and s/n
2- install latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (needed for 4.4 roms)
You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3- confirm adb working in TWRP now, and unlock using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 or "revone -u"
(you don't need to relock if you're s-off)
4- push, sideload, or OTG a ROM and install
5- error 155 occurs due to hboot 1.55+, you'll need to downgrade to 1.44 to run RUU

no problem, IF you're gonna end up using RUU, you need to downgrade to this hboot: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
then go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <- just in case the first one says "failed flush again"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and run the RUU, should work fine.

Thanks for that, but using RUU was only one way I thought of to get my phone working again, because adb push and sideload don't work. If the way you mentioned in your first post works, then I will be absolutely fine without using RUU. Otherwise I will try the RUU option.
It worked! Thanks for your help! :good:

follow my guide in my signature, there is a RUU.EXE available for CID: HTC__001 and MID: PN0710000 (so you can follow the RUU.EXE procedure)
in my opinion do NOT GO S-ON!!

It's just my home-brew of TWRP 2.6.3.3 repackaged in a firmware zip to be able to flash in RUU mode :silly:
you may wanna reconsider reflashing your firmware though, just so your "fastboot getvar all" doesnt show version-main: 1.26.401.3 (a made up version number), the actual firmware is still whatever you flashed, but doesn't show up in the getvar.
the "version-main" is always, the last thing you flashed in ruu mode.
anyway, remember, you don't need to lock with s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49832723&postcount=388

it's very easy to create yourself too, just get whatever recovery you want, rename to recovery.img + an "android-info.txt" with proper MID and CID, and you can even make your "version-main" 6.78.401.9 (as in 6789 but WWE) :silly: in the android-info.txt file (remember it's unix format not dos/windows).
obviously you need to be S-Off to flash it since it's completely unsigned.
only reason you would need it if you locked/relocked bootloader while S-Off, which is completely redundant... no need to lock/relock with s-off

unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery, push the backup to your phone and restore it using twrp. Your phone is stuck in bootloader mode because you have re-locked it while it was still running custom software.

Its because you have relocked the bootloader with a custom recovery installed. When unlocking the bootloader, the phone must perform a factory reset and its done from the stock recovery. Because the stock recovery isn't there, it doesn't work.
so you need to reflash the stock firmware first. What is the output of "fastboot getvar all" ? (dont post imei and serialno)

This is a well known issue caused by a re-locked bootloader + custom firmware/recovery still installed on the phone. Always reflash stock recovery before re-locking the bootloader. To solve this issue you must reflash the 6.14.206.2 firmware.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 6.14.206.2.zip
fastboot flash zip 6.14.206.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then get a new unlock token:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Submit token to htcdev.com and wait for your Unlock_code.bin in your e-mail. Once reveiced copy your Unlock_code.bin in the same folder where adb and fastboot are.
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

So the ruu you were trying to flash above isn't a stock RUU? With s-on, you can only flash 100% stock (signed) ruu same or higher version (6.14.206.2 or above).
After unlocking the bootloader with instructions above, you can flash twrp recovery, restore this 6.14.206.2 nandroid backup, re-flash the 6.14.206.2 stock recovery. Your phone will then be stock rom and firmware and ready to take ota update. Bootloader will still show tampered and unlocked.
or
you can stay re-locked and flash the 7.18.206.2 ruu.zip. Use htc_fastboot.exe to flash:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot
and again your phone will be 100% stock firmware and software except the re-locked and tampered flags in the bootloader.

There is no RUU for O2 lollipop the latest is 4.4.2 kitkat. If you just want to return to stock for the OTA you can use my stock nandroid here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074289
To get around the bootloader unlock problem you need to flash the firmware
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074526
Download and put the zip in your fastboot folder and boot your device to the boot loader and flash the firmware
CODE]fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU[/CODE] **--- Case sensative ---^^^
Your device should boot to a black screen with a Silver HTC logo. This is RUU mode. We can now flash the firmware. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short, and will appear to fail. Thats normal its just a pre update preparing the hboot for the firmware. The phone screen will go black then return to RUU mode. So now we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal. As long as the command window has finished its output its done. Reboot to the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When that's done get a new unlock code.bin from htcdev to unlock your bootloader. Flash TWRP and use it to restore the stock backup. Then flash the stock recovery to get the OTA :good:

Hi everybody, maybe you can help me...
I'm stuck with the HTC M7 which should be from O2 UK (CID 02__001). I can't flash the official Lollipop, these are the steps I followed:
- cehcked for s-on or s-off...it is S-ON
- put phone in fastboot and sent command fastboot oem lock...it was already locked
- sent command fastboot erase cache
- sent command fastboot oem rebootRUU
- flashed file 6.14.206.zip (43mb more or less)
- sent command fastboot reboot-bootloader
Phone didn't boot, so I took the zip file named PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_O2_UK_7.18.206.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_423416_combined_signed.zip from above post and repeated the procedure above and in the end I got this:

Hi alray, thanks for your quick reply.
Phone was not booting, it looped between the HTC green logo and the red triangle (i don't know the cause, my uncle wasn't clear when explaining what he did for causing the mess), so I decided to get rid of all of these problems by starting from a fresh install with the latest release...and still i can't get it to work

But the file you have flashed (43MB) is only the firmware not the software. Flashing the firmware can solve some issues but generally a non-booting device will need to flash a full RUU or at least a custom recovery + a rom.
Still waiting for the "fastboot getvar all" to guide you. (post above edited probably at the same time you were answering)

I would suggest you to avoid using toolkits and instead work directly from a command window using the latest android sdk tools (fastboot and adb). Files that comes with these toolkits, like Hasoon 2000, are outdated.
E.g:
Hasoon 2000 v 3.1
Outdated SU binaries (1.45). Latest is 2.46 and is mandatory for lollipop roms.
Outdated TWRP recovery (2.6.0.1) - Latest twrp recovery for the M7 is 2.8.7.0, all roms requires at least 2.6.3.3, some other like Cyanogenmod requires at lest 2.7.1.1
Outdated CWM recovery (6.0.3.4) - latest cwm for M7 is 6.0.4.8
So setup your android sdk tool folder, download your custom recovery directly from TWRP or CWM website (twrp is preferred for the M7), flash the recovery using fastboot, copy the om to your phone and flash it in recovery.

I bought this HTC last Saturday and it was on the 3 network with their software. I am on EE, my intention was to re-image the device with a non branded version O/S and get it unlocked to any network.

You need to be on the stock rom to sim unlock the phone so better to relock the bootloader, flash the ruu, unlock the sim using a sim unlock code, unlock the bootloader again and flash the rom you want to use.

I would suggest you to avoid using toolkits and instead work directly from a command window using the latest android sdk tools (fastboot and adb). Files that comes with these toolkits, like Hasoon 2000, are outdated.
E.g:
Hasoon 2000 v 3.1
Outdated SU binaries (1.45). Latest is 2.46 and is mandatory for lollipop roms.

So I need to use the stock, unlock the sim and then go back and use whatever ROM. That sounds good. Do you know where I could find the command I'm going to need and any examples. So far I only know how to use the all in one tools to move files.

Are you using the fastboot version linked in the same thread from where you have downloaded the ruu? You must use that version of fastboot, the normal one that comes with the sdk tools can't handle big file like this ruu.

No, I'll re download it when I get home, do I just replace that version in my folder with the other files as an exe?

keep both fastboot version, save that one in the same folder as the original fastboot but name it htc_fastboot.exe so you have both fastboot version. When needed, type "htc_fastboot your_command" instead of "fastboot your_command" like when flashing the ruu:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu_file_name.zip
fastboot reboot

All done, I got the phone unlocked for a couple of pounds on Ebay, and managed to install the RUU you suggested. Managed to update to a custom ROM today and everything is good. I did try to re-lock the bootloader and ran into another loop, so left it open for now with tampered and security warning for now. Apart from that it's all working fine. Thanks again for your help Alray.
