hey people,
htc m8s seems to be bricked. all of a sudden i have that "Decryption Unsuccessful" failure like here.
But i can't follow the steps in the link, because my bootloader is relocked and i can't unlock it.
i tried it with htcdev (with new unlock_code.bin) and theres no errormessage, but it is still relocked (seems to be normal at this "Devcryption" error).
unfortunately theres no recovery anymore. only the red triangle appears. if i try to flash a new one there is always the signature verify fail. but i must say that i didn't find the right stock recovery for my mainversion (see below).

last thing i tried is to install the stock firmware like here using this zip (most similar to my mainversion that i found):
Code:
0PKVIM[email protected]60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed
but of course it says the mainversion is older and the device is halted due to large image update.
I think its the right way. but i can't find the richt version for me.
could somebody show me where to find the right version or give me some advise?

This is what is shown in the fastboot mode:
