I think I made my phone a brick. (oem unlock Turn Off!)

[sorceforge]

Disappointed with Oreo rom (2.31.400.6), I decided to downgrade my phone to Nougat (1.27.400.6). I thought things would be simple, but as you have already guessed, I failed. S-OFF doesn't work in here, installing old Viper Nougat rom doesn't let me pass the settings screen. To be worse, I even wiped my 2.31.400.6 nandroid backup, so I flashed that of 2.31.709.1, and I could boot my phone.

I searched xda again and found someone says 'Downgrading with SDCard method works even in S-ON and unlocked bootloader. It even wipes everything.' I tried, but fastboot told me there is '19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing...' error.
I thought it was happened because the bootloader is not relocked, so I typed 'fastboot oem lock.' However, the same error occurs.
I gave up, so I typed 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin' command to get back to unlocked mode, but the worst thing in my HTC life ever happened.

writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) flash unlocktoken
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!

Yes, I didn't turn the 'Allow OEM unlock' mark in the developers option on. I searched once again to do something, but I think I just made a nice red brick.
I found the situation is very similar to this guy(https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/help/help-htc-u11-brick-t3704765). However, the situation is worse; The problem is,
1. There is no RUU for 2.31.400.6.
2. From Oreo bootloader, it is known that we're not able to use 'fastboot boot' command, even with stock recovery.

Now, I can't boot to TWRP recovery because the phone thinks the partition was corrupted, when I try to boot into normal mode, it says 'Your storage is now locked. Please put the password. ## attempts left until your storage gets wiped' blahblah... Even if I wipe my data partition, I don't think it will ever boot because it is 709 rom, not my 400 rom.

Do I have to wait until RUU of 2.31.400.6 gets appeared? Is there anything I can do?

Well, my U11 is indian DUGL, so this would not be flashed, but at least I can hope 2.31.400.6 RUU will be released sooner than I thought. Thank you,

The 19 fail is incorrect firmware.exe. This did not cause any issue.

The problem was when you attempted to lock the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked there is absolutely no reason to ever lock it again.

if you can not wait full RUU 2.31.400.6
last way to unbrick(softbrick) your u11 ... go to....
>>>> http://llabtoofer.com/htc-ruu-flashing-service/
when your u11 return to life :good:
then
---unlock bootloader from htcdev again( get new token again)
---flash twrp
****important**** backup from twrp
now enjoy other custom rom (flash from twrp)

remember...****not relock bootloader****

goodluck :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
