I'm having a problem flashing the latest firmware - 4.19.401.11 (currently on 4.19.401.8).

I get:

Code: 
sending 'zip' (71868 KB)...
OKAY [  4.936s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
(bootloader) checking model ID...
(bootloader) checking custom ID...
(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping for pre-update check...
(bootloader) start image[hboot] flushing...
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,hboot,0
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,hboot,99
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,hboot,100
(bootloader) ...... Successful
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
finished. total time: 6.410s

I then try to write again immediately and it just hangs on

Code: 
sending 'zip' (71868 KB)...

(the file size is obviously different I just copied the code from Vomer's thread).

Eventually I have to just reset my phone. Any ideas?

I've never had any problems flashing firmware in the past.

I have checked the MD5 (it matches), i've tried downloading it again and tried on different PCS (both running Windows 7) with different USB cables.

Currently running Viperone 5.8.0

Thanks in advance.

You do realise that is for HTC HTC One Dual Sim(M7C_DUG) You have a m7ul single sim.
Get the firmware from here and follow the guide
No need to lock your bootloader,{ your S-Off }

Hmm, same thing again. :(

I've noticed something weird in my HBOOT though..

It's in red text:

OS-4.19.401.8 (4.19.401.11)

Does this have anything to do with it?

Edit - I've also tried the .9 firmware and it's giving me the same problem however, the red message above now has the .9 firmware in brackets???

Edit - Also, my phone works fine, I just can't flash any firmwares.

Because you only ran the "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip" once, your firmware is in a state of limbo.

Flash the firmware again

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your firmware.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

This takes a couple minutes and you will most likely get a error
(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Let it run and it should finish this time

fastboot reboot

The above is exactly what I'm doing. I flash the second time but it does nothing. Maybe I'll leave it longer but it's never taken more than about 30 seconds to send it to my phone previously. I'll leave it for a good 5 mins and see how I go.

I realise the risk but RUU is like starting from fresh. May give it a go, it's a pain though!

I think it maybe your only hope if the hboots wont take.
Its just that some users have had some luck by flashing 1.44 hboot
I just hope that trying to flash the wrong firmware hasn't corrupted the hboot.
Backup your user apps with TB
Also if your using 4.4.2 RUU then dont sign into google when setting up the phone.
Once setup has finished then sign into Google.
Your notifications will work then.
