First to admit I did something stupid. I am looking for anyone to help me.

Long story short I think I have locked my bootloader. I dont know if i have the stock bootloader or twrp.

C:\adb>fastboot getvar all
< waiting for device >
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_ocnwhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 1560800000
(bootloader) slot-count: 0
(bootloader) current-slot:
(bootloader) version-main: 2.31.617.2
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 8998-002772-1711021119
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 2PZC50000
all:
finished. total time: 0.005s
I cant get into the twrp bootloader menu and I tried to use the RRU from htc to reload my phone. I get a 155 error. I tried to unlock the bootloader again with the htc ulock_code.bin error message

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.001s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) flash unlocktoken
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X01, enable unlock
FAILED (remote: UnlockToken Verify Fail!!)
finished. total time: 1.199s

I am at a loss on what to do. Am I screwed? I am within the htc 30 day window but dont think they will accept my phone.

HTC u11 fails to boot.

I have a new problem.

I will start at the beginning. I was running stock htc oreo. I really wanted to install viperu 1.7. I assumed that I needed to reinstall nougat. I attemped to use the htc ruu to roll back. This failed. I booted into twrp and performed a wipe and restore to a known good nougat backup. When I rebooted the device started to boot gets past the htc logo and the shuts off. Thinking that something failed I rebooted into twrp and attempted to reinstall a stock zip. This fails to install. I wiped again and installed viperu 1.7 everything installs properly per the viper install guide. When the phone reboots it starts to install the apps. It finishes but shuts off. I connected it to a charger and booted the phone and attempted to boot but shuts off.

Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix it.
thanks in advance.

Without s-off, the older ruu will not work. Probably older rom on newer firmware may not work. Download stock backup 2.xx.xxx.x and restore in twrp and do not forget full wipe before restoring backup

Do you have a stock backup 2.xx.xxx.x or know where I can get one. I looked online but they dont have 2.x on the list.
My phone is 2PZC50000 BS_US001 WHL (Single SIM) US Unlocked.

You saved me. I am extremely grateful of your knowledge. I thought I flushed 700 buck down the drain.

Whats the best way to revert back to nougat so I can flash to viperu 1.7. Right now I am on 2.31.617.2 from the backup you sent me to in the link. I do need to root the phone but have not attempted yet. I was planning to root the phone at the same time as installing viperu. Much thanks again.

Can't roll back to 7.1.1 yet. You need to be S-Off and Sunshine isn't fully working on Oreo at this time.
But there is a ViperU Oreo Rom available now. If you want, to just flash it and sick with 8.0.
