[Q] please help me restore my One

Good day all
I have been running CM 10.2 on my One for some months. Recently its started playing up so ive decided to go back to stock.
Ive googled the process. Fastboot works OK and see's my One connected OK.
Im having issues figuring out what RUU I should be downloading. Initially I went for RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2
After a number of minutes it failed and said something like it cannot use this on my phone. My phone is a UK purchased unlocked device. Can anyone point me at the correct RUUI should download?

Looking at the fastboot screen I can see that my OS is 2.24.401.8
hboot is 1.54.0000
Please, any pointers to get a stock OS installed and my device booting again.

You can flash this (compatible with your firmware, CID & MID): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
if you want to receive OTAs, you'll need to select "stock recovery" (which will overwrite custom recovery).

If you have unlocked bootloaders then download twrp or cwm and rename to recovery put the file in the fastboot folder.
Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will flash the custom recovery.

Do one thing install a custom rom like ARHD etc. and then S-off your phone using rumrunner.

This is going to be one of those jobs that just fails and all I end up with is a bricked phone.
I am a mac user and was using a windows XP VM to communicate with me phone using fast boot... When I try to push a recovery image XP fails badly and reboots...
I can't boot camp my mac because I'm running without a CD drive and boot camp needs a CD drive before installation.
Any tips on how to get my phone sorted using a mac?

1- just use mac versions of fastboot & adb, i believe you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
(or google for them)
2- do you care about having your phone "out-of-the-box"? that entails much more work.Can you live with an UNLOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader, and possibly the TAMPERED sign?
3- if you don't care about ^^ (2), then just use the Guru Reset ROM, i linked before.
get adb and fastboot working on mac, then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
adb push <name of guru>.zip /data/media/0/
then in recovery choose "install" and select the Guru Reset ROM.

Ok so i reloaded the recovery image. Rebooted and hey presto Cyanogenmod 10.2 loaded again. Phone is now working BUT I would still like to go back to stock.
With that in mind I followed your instructions above and tried to load the Guru zip on to the SDCARD. The ADB process finishes and it says its copied the file over but I can never seem to find it whe i load the recovery and try to install from a zip file.
Questions. Am I right in thinking I can continue to load the Guru zip to attempt to get back to stock?
What am i doing wrong?

if your phone is booting up again
just copy the guru.zip to the phone storage from your mac
no need to "push" if your phone is booting up

To confirm, I am now copying the zip over.
Is there a chance of me bricking the phone again or will the Guru zip return the phone to stock and allow OTA updates?

yeah the Guru reset was designed to put the phone back to stock
it uses an Aroma installer .. choose Stock Recovery to be able to receive OTA in the future. but you won't be able to flash any custom roms or Root with the stock recovery

that seemed to do the trick. phone is back stock.
after initial setup t imediately downloaded and installed a small update. rebooted and then asked to download another 4.3 675mb big update. that one seemed to reset the devce to new again. after setup the 2nd time i can see it didnt work as the phone was as if i had just completed the guru install...

0 MB internal storage

Howdy fellas. So im pretty hooped here. First of all let it be said i am a total noob and this has solidified my standing as a noob. Bought a used M7 (Rogers), came rooted BL unlocked, s-on, running cm 11. I wanted to install ARHD 83.1 Thought hey why not start from scratch, unroot flash stock RUU etc. So i made a backup of the Cm11 rom just incase in twrp 2.8.3.0. Relocked BL, then google Rogers M7 RUU , downloaded a 4.4, sense 5.5 one and ran it. Got an error message about 3 min in from windows explorer saying htc.fastboot.exe has stopped, everything closed and my phone just rebooted back to fastboot. SO i thought i better restore my backup. Went to unlock bootloader, hit yes and my phone was booting into cm 11... stuck at boot logo for an hour till it got quite warm. So i hard reset it, went into recovery to restore backup and voila, I have 0 MB internal storage with no files at all. Can someone please help? Ill even donate if you can help me get my phone back
Many thanks

looks like your data partition is corrupted. This should be easy to fix but first post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except your IMEI and SERIALNO.
BTW do you prefer to go back to stock rom or CM?

Sorry for late reply, we have some serious power outages here in Quebec (damn freezing rain!)
Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 and save it to your adb/fastboot folder on your computer
With your phone connected to your computer and booted in bootlloader/fastboot usb mode, open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot in recovery mode (TWRP), select Wipe, Advanced Wipe, then select everything and "Swipe to wipe". When completed, go back in the main menu, select Wipe then "Format Data". When format data is completed reboot the recovery.
When rebooted in recovery, select "backup" then select "boot" only and swipe to backup, go back in the main menu
Download this nandroid backup and save it to your desktop.
Extract the backup zip files, put all the files in a folder and name that folder "MYBACKUP"
move that folder in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer
with your phone still in twrp main menu, adb push the backup to your phone:
Code:
adb push MYBACKUP /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/[COLOR="Red"]Your_Serial_Number[/COLOR]/MYBACKUP
(replace text in red by your phone's serial number. You can find your serial number in your "fastboot getvar all")
This will take a while and your command prompt will be unresponsive during the transfer. When the command prompt is responsive again, then the transfer is complete.
In twrp select "restore", select "MYBACKUP", select all partitions then "swipe to restore"
reboot phone and confirm everything is working fine

Wow man, you did it. It works! Thanks so much. You got a paypal i can donate to? Im happy to throw a few bucks your way. One last question, Im wondering if the radio/firmware that nandroid is running is new enough that i can install a rom like ARHD 84 or insert coin etc? Or Do i need to update it somehow? And if so how would i go about doing that? your step by step was amazing by the way,

I think it should be good with those roms but it wouldn't hurt to update it. 3.22.631.1 is a pretty old firmware.
And if so how would i go about doing that?

Well the easiest way would be to flash the stock recovery back and take all ota updates to latest version. Otherwise you could use the 4.19.631.9 and then take the remaining ota updates.

Download your stock recovery and save it to your adb/fastboot folder on your computer.
reboot your phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Start a command prompt from ADB/Fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock_155hboot_htc_one_m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Wait for the phone to reboot in the OS
go in Settings --> About --> Software updates Check for new updates and install them
repeat steps 4 and 5 until your phone is running the latest version with Android 4.4.3 and HTC Sense 6
Then your phone will be updated to latest software and firmware (6.XX.631.X)

Hope you got my donation! Thanks again for the help. I do have one additional questions however. So i did what you said flashed that stock recovery, then update as far as my OTAS would go. then re flashed TWRP so i could flash ARHD. But im wanting to re flash stock recovery now! So i see my Hboot has changed to 1.57. Could you link me to the new proper stock recovery for my updated device?

Don't reflash the stock recovery if you are using a custom rom like arhd, keep twrp recovery.
Stock recovery is not useful at all when using custom roms, only needed for stock roms.
And I need to know your main version to direct you to the correct stock recovery version

How to install the Lollipop OTA on a rooted M7 with a stock rom and custom recovery

THIS IS A GUIDE ON HOW TO INSTALL THE LOLLIPOP OTA UPDATE ON A ROOTED INTERNATIONAL HTC ONE M7 WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND A STOCK HTC SENSE ROM
Disclaimer: I am making this guide to help you if I can. I am doing that because I have spent more than 10 hours trying to upgrade my phone; and because I am new at this, I soft bricked my phone. I did unbrick it and install lollipop eventually but I am making this for the people like me, so that you don’t make the same mistakes. Oh, and, never tick “system” when doing a wipe trough TWRP recovery XD With that said, I am not a pro, but I have learned a lot trough trial and error; so, follow the instructions carefully and be patient!!! I am not responsible if something goes horrendously wrong, good luck! Also, sorry for the weird formatting, I am very new to that as well.
Hey everybody, as you probably know, HTC has started rolling out Lollipop to M7s.
If you are like me and love to have control over your phone and its customization, you probably rooted your device and installed a custom recovery to have more options like full system backups...
Well, now that the update is out, you might have tried to upgrade following the on screen instructions for the OTA (Over The Air) update and found out it can’t be done just like that. I am here to tell you, don’t worry, don’t bang your head against the table, there is a way, and it is simple. This is a collection of some of the things that I have learned in the previous two days:
You will need a couple of things:
*Your International HTC One M7
You can be S-OFF OR S-On
*The Android SDK
Your alternative would be the Minimal ADB and Fastboot because that’s the part of the sdk we will be using for this. I recommend the SDK if you don’t quite now what you are doing because I will be explaining how to use that, otherwise, feel free to use the Minimal ADB and Fastboot. But, if you are going to use the Minimal ADB and Fastboot don’t forget to create a desktop shortcut, it will make things easier later.
*The OTA zip itself
We will need this to get the stock recovery image, I will explain why soon.
*Your htcdev.com account
We will need it to unlock your boot loader later because in order to complete this, you will
temporarily relock your bootloader.
*Your phones drivers ( If you do install the drivers I linked, you should probably uninstall HTC sync,
just to be on the safe side)
*Your PC (I will write for Windows because that’s what I have)
THE LINKS TO EVERYTHING YOU NEED:
-The Tools:
Android SDK (Android Sutdio): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Minimal ADB and Fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
-The phone drivers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afrvSGiMAtk (This video is really good, it shows you how you can get the drivers to work so that adb recognizes your phone even in recovery, it is useful for side loading and stuff... I recommend doing this just to be safe, you can install HTC sync later if you want)
Ok, let’s begin:
1. Download the OTA zip file on to your phone as you normaly would, but don’t click install. Instead, copy the file to a folder on your desktop (name the folder what you want).
2. Right click the zip and click “Extract to .......” (with the ..... being the name of the OTA file)
3. In there, there will be another zip file called “firmware.zip”
4. Extract that one, we will use it to get the stock recovery. Why do we need the stock recovery if the custom one is better? We need it to install the OTA update because of the way that OTA files are made and the way that the stock recovery works. The stock recovery is made to do two things, preform a factory reset and to install OTA updates. The OTA update zips are made to be only installed trough the stock recovery. I don’t know why, but that’s what I found out, simple as that.
5. Now, Copy that recovery.img file back in to the main folder on your desktop (you don't need the OTA zip on your computer anymore, if you want delete it)
6. In order to apply the OTA update file, you will need to temporaroly relock your bootloader and flash the stock recovery. To do that:
1) Boot your phone in to the bootloader by holding Vol Down + Power
2) Navigate with the volume keys and click the power button to select. Select the “fastboot mode” it should show up red and say fastboot. (fastboot usb if connected to pc)
3) Connect the phone to the PC via USB 2.0 (USB 3.0 might not work)
4) Go to folder where you installed Android SDK and go in to the “platform-tools” folder and while holding shift right click in the empty space of the folder and click open command window here .
5) Type in “fastboot devices” (witouth the quote marks) this will make sure your PC sees your phone.
If a radnom set of numbers appears and by it fastboot or something like that, you are good, if not check the connection and the drivers. I will link to how to get drivers to work because there are known issues when using windows 8/8.1
6) Next thing is to copy the recovery file from the desktop folder in to the platform-tools folder.
7) Type in “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
8) Type in “fastboot reboot-bootloader”
9) Type in “fastboot oem lock” (This will lock the bootloader, we will unlock it again later)
7. Boot your phone up and normaly install the OTA update.
8. To reinstall the custom recovery, just download the latest TWRP or Clockworkmoad recovery for the M7 and copy it in to the platform tools folder. Boot the phone in to fastboot again and type in “fastboot flash recovery ****.img” (wher **** is the name of your custom recovery image)
9. To unlock your bootloader, do the same as you did the first tame you did it, follow the htcdev.com instructions. If you still have the unlock token, just put it in to the platform-tools folder. Boot in to fastboot and type in “fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin”
If for any reason you get into a boot loop, just reboot into recovery trough the bootloader and wipe cache and dalvik cache
That’s it, you should now have a rooted HTC One M7 running stock Lollipop sense.
And, some sugestions:
-Keep the stock recovery somewhere if you ever need it again. I say this because when I was searching for the stock recovery image, people were saying to download one from the internet but to be careful... That would be much more complicated because there is no guaranty that the recovery you download is right for your exact phone! This is the simplest way, and it is guarantied to work because in the OTA zip for your phone is the recovery that is made to work on your phone!
-Keep the unlocktoken in order to easily unlock your bootloader if you ever need to relock it again, it just saves you time.

THIS IS A GUIDE ON HOW TO INSTALL THE LOLLIPOP OTA UPDATE ON A ROOTED INTERNATIONAL HTC ONE M7 WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND A STOCK HTC SENSE ROM
Disclaimer: I am making this guide to help you if I can. I am doing that because I have spent more than 10 hours trying to upgrade my phone; and because I am new at this, I soft bricked my phone. I did unbrick it and install lollipop eventually but I am making this for the people like me, so that you don’t make the same mistakes. Oh, and, never tick “system” when doing a wipe trough TWRP recovery XD With that said, I am not a pro, but I have learned a lot trough trial and error; so, follow the instructions carefully and be patient!!! I am not responsible if something goes horrendously wrong, good luck! Also, sorry for the weird formatting, I am very new to that as well.
Hey everybody, as you probably know, HTC has started rolling out Lollipop to M7s.
If you are like me and love to have control over your phone and its customization, you probably rooted your device and installed a custom recovery to have more options like full system backups...
Well, now that the update is out, you might have tried to upgrade following the on screen instructions for the OTA (Over The Air) update and found out it can’t be done just like that. I am here to tell you, don’t worry, don’t bang your head against the table, there is a way, and it is simple. This is a collection of some of the things that I have learned in the previous two days:
You will need a couple of things:
*Your International HTC One M7
You can be S-OFF OR S-On
*The Android SDK
Your alternative would be the Minimal ADB and Fastboot because that’s the part of the sdk we will be using for this. I recommend the SDK if you don’t quite now what you are doing because I will be explaining how to use that, otherwise, feel free to use the Minimal ADB and Fastboot. But, if you are going to use the Minimal ADB and Fastboot don’t forget to create a desktop shortcut, it will make things easier later.
*The OTA zip itself
We will need this to get the stock recovery image, I will explain why soon.
*Your htcdev.com account
We will need it to unlock your boot loader later because in order to complete this, you will
temporarily relock your bootloader.
*Your phones drivers ( If you do install the drivers I linked, you should probably uninstall HTC sync,
just to be on the safe side)
*Your PC (I will write for Windows because that’s what I have)
THE LINKS TO EVERYTHING YOU NEED:
-The Tools:
Android SDK (Android Sutdio): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Minimal ADB and Fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
-The phone drivers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afrvSGiMAtk (This video is really good, it shows you how you can get the drivers to work so that adb recognizes your phone even in recovery, it is useful for side loading and stuff... I recommend doing this just to be safe, you can install HTC sync later if you want)
Ok, let’s begin:
1. Download the OTA zip file on to your phone as you normaly would, but don’t click install. Instead, copy the file to a folder on your desktop (name the folder what you want).
2. Right click the zip and click “Extract to .......” (with the ..... being the name of the OTA file)
3. In there, there will be another zip file called “firmware.zip”
4. Extract that one, we will use it to get the stock recovery. Why do we need the stock recovery if the custom one is better? We need it to install the OTA update because of the way that OTA files are made and the way that the stock recovery works. The stock recovery is made to do two things, preform a factory reset and to install OTA updates. The OTA update zips are made to be only installed trough the stock recovery. I don’t know why, but that’s what I found out, simple as that.
5. Now, Copy that recovery.img file back in to the main folder on your desktop (you don't need the OTA zip on your computer anymore, if you want delete it)
6. In order to apply the OTA update file, you will need to temporaroly relock your bootloader and flash the stock recovery. To do that:
1) Boot your phone in to the bootloader by holding Vol Down + Power
2) Navigate with the volume keys and click the power button to select. Select the “fastboot mode” it should show up red and say fastboot. (fastboot usb if connected to pc)
3) Connect the phone to the PC via USB 2.0 (USB 3.0 might not work)
4) Go to folder where you installed Android SDK and go in to the “platform-tools” folder and while holding shift right click in the empty space of the folder and click open command window here .
5) Type in “fastboot devices” (witouth the quote marks) this will make sure your PC sees your phone.
If a radnom set of numbers appears and by it fastboot or something like that, you are good, if not check the connection and the drivers. I will link to how to get drivers to work because there are known issues when using windows 8/8.1
6) Next thing is to copy the recovery file from the desktop folder in to the platform-tools folder.
7) Type in “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
8) Type in “fastboot reboot-bootloader”
9) Type in “fastboot oem lock” (This will lock the bootloader, we will unlock it again later)
7. Boot your phone up and normaly install the OTA update.
8. To reinstall the custom recovery, just download the latest TWRP or Clockworkmoad recovery for the M7 and copy it in to the platform tools folder. Boot the phone in to fastboot again and type in “fastboot flash recovery ****.img” (wher **** is the name of your custom recovery image)
9. To unlock your bootloader, do the same as you did the first tame you did it, follow the htcdev.com instructions. If you still have the unlock token, just put it in to the platform-tools folder. Boot in to fastboot and type in “fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin”

You sir are a genius. I was just about to throw the phone and laptop out the window. 3 days of getting nowhere and then i found this. Thank you. Just have a question. What will happen now with further updates? HTC have only released 5.0 as far as i know but 5.1 has been rolled out to some already? Will future updates go back to normal?

:good:
Really interesting. Thanks

Hey, thank you! It really means a lot! I know the struggle of thinking you broke your very expensive smart phone... I soft bricked my phone after this by wiping everything trough the recovery because I didn't read what i checked on the wipe list... My phone is working now, I installed an aosp lollipop rom because I didn't like that htc stuck with sense 6 when releasing lollipop for the M7... I just felt it didn't have all the features I was looking for. To answer your question: go to this website (just copy it to a new window in your browser and delete the spaces; I can't post outside links yet...) http : // androidcommunity.com/ htc-one-m7-could-be-updated-to-android-5-1-20150323/

I think @alray is right. Do you have the OTA zip file? Because if you do, I think you can fix this problem by flashing the firmware.zip that is located in the ota zip. @alray am I correct? This came to mind because I had to do that when I was installing a new rom, it needed to have the stock firmware. If you do, and this is correct, come back to this thread and I will do my best to help you

Flashing the stock firmware won't change anything to /system. He must restore the stock rom because his custom kernel made some changes in /system.

Hmmm :silly: @alray Maybe he could try the Android Revolution Rom, it is basically stock lollipop sense. I have tried it as well as the original software, didn't run into any differences or problems... Maybe that would be easier than trying to find the original software for his specific phone... I managed to sideload this rom using twrp when my phone was soft bricked... So, I think flashing the rom won't be a problem if he has a working phone. But, also, I think he will have to flash the firmware.zip to install this rom, that's what I was talking about earlier,

It might be really easy to find the original rom for his phone, its all depend what version he is currently on. I agree that if he can't find it, using a custom rom like arhd is good alternative. We can help him find the required files (if they exist) but he will first need to post the output of "fastboot getvar all"

Okay, and thanks for the replies! I am relatively new to this and want to learn something from this If and when he does do that, we will continue this
Also, I don't know about finding the software for his specific phone being easy... Could you explain? @alray When I was looking for the software for my phone I read about the CID number having to mach up and that the phones, even though they are from the same variant, they are different for different parts of the world... I couldn't even manage to find the recovery.img that worked on my phone... That's why I think I was lucky to have the ota zip on my computer... I found the stock recovery and the firmware zip which I needed later on... From all that, I kinda got the impression that finding the exact software is not impossible but hard if you don't understand what exactly you are looking for... That's why I would recommend arhd if you just want the stock experience but don't want to mess around too much.

Goofed during recovery replacement
Alray, I accidentally flashed boot instead of recovery in an attempt to get the LP OTA going. I can't find a replacement to get it working again. I used a Guru Reset zip, but after the first reboot, it took me to a jacked boot img. What can I do. I really just want AT&T Lollipop.

Thanks. In the meantime, I only found salvation by installing a generic rom, S-OFF'ing, changing the CID/MID, and using the developer RUU. I couldn't find the RUU for my particulars.. I should probably switch back to S-ON unless there's a good reason to leave it.

Possibly a stupid question, but:
Will this wipe the user data from the phone? I don't see why reverting to stock would do that, but doesn't using the HTCDevs to unlock the bootloader wipe the phone?
Thanks!

Hi Alray,
my current situation is I have an HTC M7, S-OFF and rooted, running stock ROM on Android 4.4.4 and TWRP recovery. I've been holding back, but now I'd like to try the stock Lollipop upgrade. I have no modifications to the system partition, except the SuperSU binary.
Is it possible for me to just flash the stock recovery and run the OTA then?
Thanks!

I would indeed try to do this first as it will only take you 5 minutes to flash the stock recovery back. If the ota fails (red triangle) then its because something isn't 100% stock and you'll have to flash a lollipop RUU.

Need Assistance getting my phone HTC One 802d Indian version back to working.

Hi,
I've kind of soft bricked my phone. Good thing is still able to fastboot as my PC detects it via USB.
I am new to Android rooting, flashing etc.
I had android Lollipop before I messed up phone. I've downloaded Nandroid backup and RUU for Indian version of HTC One 802d from other threads on XDA.
I am not sure of process to use that Nandroid backup. I've CWM recovery but don't have root access. Bootloader iss unlocked.
For other thing i.e. RUU that I downloaded is a zip file. But for some strange reason I'm not able to extract it on windows 7. It says compressed zip folder is invalid. I also downloaded Chinese RUU which is again zip and doesn't extarct, gives same error.
I am new to all this though I've some knowledge about computers and gadgets.
Please help me on how to get back my phone working may by Nandroid or RUU or anything else.
Please let me know if any details or information is needed.
Greatly appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you!

Hi,
Can someone please help me with this? :crying:

First of all, you can't unzip RUU.zip because it's encrypted. And why are you trying to unzip it anyway? Other thing - your phone is most likely S-on, so, in order to flash RUU.zip, you need stock recovery and locked or relocked bootloader. My suggestion is to go and do some reading on how to flash RUU. There are loads of tutorials online. And make sure you understand everything before you go ahead with flashing

Thanks a lot for your reply!
Okay I get a point about RUU.zip not opening. I was trying it at first place cause I saw it some video that he opens it and then runs a setup file in it which opens windows wizard which then guides step by step to flash RUU from GUI.
Yes, my phone is S-On and I've been doing quite a lot reading since past couple of days and understading things better with every reading.
Now, I need further help. I'll first briefly explain how I messed up my phone. I had android L with Sense 6 in my cellphone before I started playing with it and decided to root. After watching few tutorials I first unlocked Bootloader then flashed cwm recovery. After that I took a backup from cwm and then installed SuperSu.zip from cwm recovery and rebooted phone normally. It started but SuperSu installed earlier was stopping regularly throwing error messages. I also downloaded rootChecker app and it showed that I didn't have root access.
Here, I slightly panicked as this is first time I was playing around with it. I rebooted my phone, went to cwm recovery and tried restoring back up that I took earlier as said above. But I didn't have root access and since then my phone went in bootloop and not starting.
My PC detects it when I connect in fastboot USB and i am able to execute fastboot commands.
=======================================================================================
Now, I,ll explain steps I am following to get my phone working :
1) I downloaded few RUU zip latest being from here --> http://www.mediafire.com/download/k...1_09B_release_391798_signed+by+jamesjerss.zip
2) Downloaded stock recovery for KITKAT from other xda thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617159
3) flashed this stock recovery then relocked my phone. fastboot oem lock.
4) executed fastboot oem rebootRUU
5) executed fastboot flash zip ruu.zip with the ruu zip downloaded in step 1 above
but it fails with version check failed , some error like this don't remember exact wording of it. I can get you that if needed by trying one more time.
Also, I can provide other information like getvar all and hboot version etc if required but kindly help me get out of this. Really appreciate your help.
I just want to highlight one more thing that I visited HTC care centre yesterday and without looking much at device just by looking at bootloader and cwm recovery he said that OS is corrupt and I'll need to replace mother board which costs half the price of phone. I don't believe him. It is just soft bricked and am able to connect in fastboot USB.
Please guide me on how to proceed further ahead.
Thank you once again!

OK. The reason for "signature verify fail" error is because you're trying to flash older firmware than your current one. Find a matching or newer firmware, and flash away. Just don't unzip it ?

But earlier yesterday I had tried with Lollipop RUU downloaded from -->

but that too failed with similar signature verify fail.
What should I do?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Just to point out>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lollipop RUU that I downloaded is like PN07IMG_M7C_DWG_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_]7.17 .720.6_Radio_1237.29.35.0903 release_426120_signed.zip whereas from getvar results shared above it shows version like --> bootloader) version-main: 7.17.720.15
does it make a difference? if yes, that's the latest RUU I can find online.
How can I proceed in this scenario?

So, you can't flash a RUU, because there isn't one for your phone. Now, unlock your bootloader again, and flash TWRP recovery for your phone

Yes I did unlock and then flashed recovery. I've been doing it quite a few times since yesterday so got used to it. This is something strange happening.

2 - (bootloader) version-main: 1.18.73.2, is the OS version installed, for S-On this number should be less than or equal to the number just before the word Radio 1.18.73.2, for S-Off any number will work.
3 - (bootloader) cidnum: ORANG202 dictates your device origin, if your device is S-Off this is not important other wise woth S-On RUU flash will fail if the origin of device does NOT match the RUU
4 - (bootloader) security: on Also knows as S-On or S-Off, allows writing to secure partition once S-Off, currently no known method exists to S-Off other than Sunshine method
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FLASH STOCK RUU:
NOTE BEFORE BEGINNING, THE STOCK RUU FILES ARE NOT CORRUPT, RUU WILL WORK BUT ONLY IF THE BELOW CONDITIONS ARE MET:
- IN BOOT LOADER, THE INSTALLED VERSION MUST BE BELOW OR EQUIVALENT TO THE RUU VERSION YOU WISH TO INSTALL WITH S-ON
BUT WITH S-OFF RUU WILL UPDATE SUCCESSFULLY REGARDLESS OF INSTALLED VERSION IN BOOTLOADER
- RECOVERY MUST BE STOCK BEFORE FLASHING, YOU CANNOT INSTALL STOCK RUU WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY SUCH AS TWRP
- BOOTLOADER MUST BE RELOCKED
- BASICALLY EVETYTHING SHOULD BE STOCK TO FLASH A STOCK RUU
STEPS TO FLASH 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 (YOU MUST TURN OFF FAST START UP AND SHUT DOWN IN POWER SETTINGS OR DEVICE WILL NOT ENTER BOOT LOADER)
- SOON AS DEVICE ENTER BOOT LOADERS IT WILL START READING THE PLACED FILE AND FLASHING SHOULD START SOON.
- AGAIN FLASHING WILL FAIL IF THE MENTIONED CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET IF ANY ERROR OCCURS, THE ERROR TEXT IS TOO SMALL TO READ IT THE FIRST TIME, YOU WILL HAVE TO ATTEMPT MULTIPLE TIMES TO READ IT.

Hi,
What is your current version, have you installed any OTA over it, do you have S-On, I will need precise version from device if possible.
I assume you have S-On, the file is fine and won't work if you have installed any OTA ro any updates with S-On.
Thank You

Firstly that you don't need to extract the contents of the file, just rename the file to 0P8BIMG.zip and place it in the root of the SD card but this method will only work if you have stock recovery, because if I'm correct you won't be able to flash a stock ROM with TWRP, you will need to use a Nandroid restore method via TWRP, you can find steps to flash via TWRP here.
There is CM13 (CM14 is work in progress) available if you wish to try, I use it daily, smooth and works fine.
With S-On you won't be able to flash an older version, that too after flashing stock recovery.

You need to remove that IMEI unless its fake.
Can I know which device is this, Europe, Asia or American ?
Are you facing any errors when flashing TWRP ?
How are you flashing Stock ROM ?, You can't flash stock ROM with TWRP, you will need to use Nandroid backup with TWRP. For stock ROM you will need to flash stock recovery.
Can you connect to PC in fastboot ?

Thank you for your anwser.
I guess i have european phone, but I`m not sure.
I can flash TWRP without errors but when I try to start recovery from Hboot it flashes back to Hboot.
Fastboot on PC is worknig fine.
I`m trying to do fastboot boot recovery.img but it says that remote dtb not found
Yes, to return to stock rom I am flashing stock recovery first, it works but when i insert SD card with 0P8BIMG.zip nothing happens.
How can i remove IMEI?

What I meant was to remove your device IMEI from your original post and replace them with zeros.
What version of TWRP have you flashed ?, flash this version : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533581 for European device this works fine. the right way to flash TWRP is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache
Nothing happens because you are on S-On and the file you are flashing is most likely a lower version than your currently installed version, so in this case you need to flash the provided TWRP version and then restore this Nandroid
The process to restore form Nandroid can be found here

I flashed this recovery now. It flashed fine. But still I can`t launch it. Maybe that`s because I installed different firmware?

If its S-Off then you shouldn't be having any issues flashing any version.
I believe you are SuperCID as well, I'm guessing you have a network-unlocked device ?, you need to know your actual device OS to flash the right one onto it.

Which recovery have you flashed, Stock Recovery or TWRP ?
If you have flashed TWRP and are able to enter TWRP then you can download the Nandroid from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818782 and follow the steps below to restore through TWRP.
STEPS TO RESTORE NANDROID BACKUP THROUGH TWRP:
- REBOOT AND ENTER TWRP, PERFORM A BACKUP (THIS WILL CREATE A TWRP BACK UP FOLDER WITH DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER IN THE SD CARD)
- DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT THE CONTENTS OF NANDROID BACK UP FILE IN A PC
- PLACE THE EXTRACTED FILES IN TO THE TWRP>BACKUP<DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER> FOLDER IN THE SD CARD
- RESTART THE DEVICE AND ENTER TWRP, CHOOSE RESTORE
- LOCATE THE FOLDER COPIED IN THE ROOT OF THE SDCARD
- SWIPE TO RESTORE
- FOR SOME REASON THE NANDROID BACKUP DOES NOT CONTAIN CALCULATOR, FLASH LIGHT WHICH CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/

The proper way to flash TWRP is :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
If it still doesn't work, I would recommend to go about it this way :
1 - Flash boot file
2 - Flash Stock Recovery
3 - Flash stock ROM (since you have S-Off you should be able to flash any stock ROM)
All this has to be done through PC and make sure the device is fully charged before starting and remember to use fastboot erase cache after each flashing.

I flashed boot file and recovery with no problems and used fastboot erase cache everytime. Stock recovery launches. I relocked the phone. I have 100% percent battery. But i can not instal the stock Rom file. I use my SD card. I connect it to computer, copy file 0P8BIMG.zip but my recovery doesn`t see any SD card and Hboot doesn`t update itself.
Maybe it is because I installed other firmware file?
What file system should Sd card have? (fat or ntfs?)
Can you plz tell me how i can install this rom?)

The SD card should be formatted as either Fat, Fat32 or exFAT.
The firmware file should be placed in the root of the SD Card, the flashing should start automatically once you enter bootloader.
You need to keep your eye on any error that shows up, it will be too small to read a text, so you might have to try more than once to flash it to read the error.
What other firmware have you installed ?

I'm unable to find the problem with your device, your device is S-Off and yet you are not able to install any stock ROM on it, you are not able to run TWRP either.
There could be a error in the emmc partition (IO error) as far as my understanding goes which is not uncommon, an IO error is a hardware error and is not repairable, meaning you will have to replace the NAND memory which is not possible for this device as its not available as a replaceable part which means the board needs be replaced.
Another possibility is that some flashing has gone corrupt and but I am not able to trace it, all possibilities have been tried.
You might want to try a lower version of TWRP as your original device might or might not be European.
And by red text you mean you have flashed the HBoot that removes the red text ?
Which red text are you referring to, the one that says This environment is for development purposes or the red text in the HBoot itself ?
