M8s ORANG001 OTA

[BeOneOptica]

Hi all,

Trying to return this phone to stock to use since my HTC 10 is playing up and not sure what to buy as a replacement, yet.

Anyway, it's soft bricked and unable to flash the RUU as it gives a Failed (remote: 22) error.

I believe it's because it has updated hboot and it can now no longer read the encrypted rom. To fix it I (think) need a ORANG001 OTA to flash. I have tried a Europe one but that fails.

Anyone know where I can get one?

Or how would I get SuperCID so I can flash any?

My knowledge falls down here so any help would be great

Bootloader is relocked.

Version: 0.5

Hello,

I think you have to:
- Unlock and S-OFF again your bootloader
- Try to downgrade it
- Flash ORANG001 CID through fastboot command prompt
- Flash through official RUU (or install the 0P6BIMG.zip that you can find inside from the bootloader)
- Maybe relock the bootloader if you want

You can take a look at this post for giving you an idea on how to downgrade (be careful that proposed ROMs are for Verizon M8 and won't work for yours):

Hi John, I don't think we can S-OFF the M8s. It's not the same as the M8.
