Hello everyone.


My HTC One M8 showed a message that says UI.System is not responding then shut down. When I try to open it it is stuck on the welcome HTC white screen.
- I tried to hard reset it from the hard reset it but when I do so it shows black screen with green progress arrow and then it goes again to the Welcome Screen.
- I tired recovery menu but it shows the red triangle on the phone then again to Welcome Screen.
- When I connect the phone to the PC the HTC Sync Manager doesn't recognize it in this state.
- The only case when HTC Sync Manager recognizes it is when I go to the hard rest menu and choose Fastboot.
- I downloaded HTC RUU for international phones from the official USA website (I bought the phone unlocked from Egypt) and it started working for few seconds then it prompt error 130.
As you would get, I'm not a very technical guy but I'm welling to do anything to get my device working. I currently use iPhone 5 as a backup phone, and what a horrible device.

Please help me out as I'm now in Germany and so far I could not find a store to help me get my phone back. Send me step by step links or videos and I will follow the procedures.

Thanks a lot for your help.

What? HTC's US website doesn't have the International RUU. Only US RUUs. That's what the error 130 is. Wrong Model ID.
Here is the RUU that you need.
It's a .zip not a .exe, so you'll either have to flash it via fastboot or via your extSD.
To flash via SD, rename the file to 0P6BIMG and place it onto your extSD. Boot into bootloader, and then hboot if the process doesn't start automatically (it should). Then follow the prompts. Vol up to flash, power button to reboot. Super easy.

Cool!
I forgot to mention though that you should either rename or delete the RUU.zip from your extSD after the flash, otherwise every time you boot to bootloader it'll try to update again.
