Hello forum,
im struggling on this for a while. Sadly i cant find anyone with the exact same problem as I am facing.
I'm running Ubuntu and installed adb and fastboot. I have NOT installed any drivers for the HTC.
First I try to sum up my situation:
Ive (successfully?) unlocked the HTC One M8 via the HTC websites unlock token.
Then I tried to flash twrp:
" fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-m8.img
< waiting for any device >
target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
sending 'recovery' (20202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.847s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) HOSD CL#820405
(bootloader) start@1
(bootloader) recovery@100%
(bootloader) Update partition OK
(bootloader) end@Done
OKAY [ 2.605s]
finished. total time: 4.452s"
But after restarting, I wasn't able to get into TWRP...
Then when I tried flashing some TWRP image again, I got errors telling me it failed due to S-ON.
So I tried to boot it directly:
"fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-m8.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.968s]
booting...
^C^C^C"
This gets stuck and does not do anything then. The Screen shows:
"download 100%" but it wont boot at all.
I was able to somehow get out of this by running "fastboot reboot".
Now useally this happens:
"fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-m8.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.216s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is false)"
USB Debugging enabled, OEM unlock is set in Android Developer Settings.
"fastboot oem unlock" is not working either.
Also this does not work:
"fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!"
Additional Informations:
(I can not upload any pictures so i have to type a lot.)
When I start with Volume down + Power I get the following Screen with black background:
"hTC download mode
*** UNLOCKED ***
htc_himaruhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.01.0000
RADIO-UNKNOWN
OpenDSP-UNKNOWN
OS-2.32.401.1
Oct 21 2016,15:49:40(820405)
system info
show barcode
reboot to bootloader
reboot to download mode
reboot
power down"
When I select reboot to bootloader the screen has white background and shows:
"*** Software status: Modified ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
HTC_HIMAR 128 SHIP S-ON
CID-HTC__034
LK-1.01.0000
OS-2.32.401.1
[...]
REBOOT
REBOOT TO BOOT-LOADER
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE
POWER DOWN"
I'm missing something like a "FASTBOOT" option. But calling "fastboot devices" lists the device from both screens (black & white).
As far as I understood, I need to boot into TWRP as S-ON prevents me from flashing.
I would be really happy to get a hint on how I can proceed.
Thank you guys.
