Root Help With bricked M8!

[tkane45]

okay, so i was on the GPE RUU and i wanted to return to sense, and when i went in to return through TWRP, i deleted everything on my phone including my os, in order to flash the new stock RUU, unaware that there was a different process to return to stock. I now have no system, and every time i try to flash either the stock RUU or the GPE RUU, it gives me either
"FAILED (remote: 32 header error)" (GPE RUU)
or
"FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)" (Stock RUU)
I also cannot flash a rom through TWRP, i get a FAILED error every time.

I am s-off and have an unlocked bootloader. my other credentials are:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.18.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.14.21331931.LA02_2G

Thanks for your quick reply,
when i tried to flash that file, i got this response:

Gain super CID, it maybe the CID number in the android-info file not matching up.

Or add you cid number to the file.

 

[tkane45]

changed the CID to 11111111, and still the same
"target reported max download size of 1830617088 bytes

OKAY [ 2.329s]

(bootloader) zip header checking...

what does the failure message mean? Any thoughts?

 

[Yatezy]

From what I've read, it's bottling it because something in the android-info isn't matching up with your phones details.

Open up the android-info file and see if everything in it matches your phone.

 

[saltire]

If it's not CID it's maybe the model ID then. As long as your phone is GSM and the ruu is for a GSM variant i think it should be ok editing the text file to add your model ID into it. Be good if someone else could confirm though.

 

[tkane45]

Alright, i have been able to get around the "FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)," by adding my CID to the android-info.txt.
Im now running into this issue

Any thoughts on this error?

Flash it again

whenever you flash an RUU file. Always remember 3 things

1. lock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
2. use htc_fastboot.exe for flashing RUU, not the normal fastboot.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
3. Always flash the version equal or above ur current android. Downgrading is not allowed as it will fail check in start. If u have to downgrade, u have to be S-Off

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THIS WORKED MAN! THANKS A MILLION!

Using htc_fastboot.exe worked.

Can't tell you how happy I am.
