I'm trying to flash but when the phone is reading the img file it says system halted ..... fail to update due to large image file.

I think it is not the correct one.

It is the correct one. :)
The problem is that regular fastboot can't handle the file because it is too large.
You'll need to use HTC's version of fastboot. You can find further instructions here. Skip the step for the RUU download there. That one isn't the correct one for you, and you already have the proper one downloaded. Also skip the *first you need this* part. You already have that stuff.

An alternative would be to use the method to flash from your SD card.
Rename the RUU.zip by removing everything in the name of it except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course) and place it onto your extSD (must be formatted to FAT32). Then boot to bootloader with the SD card inserted into the phone, and follow the on screen prompts (volume up to confirm the flash ~ power button to reboot after the flash is complete ~ super easy)
If you use this method, be sure to delete the renamed .zip from your extSD. If you don't your phone will try to update again every time you boot to bootloader.

Good luck!

Need hash

I downloaded the file last night but twrp-3.3.1-0-m8-1 says it's corrupt. Downloading again as we speak. Is there an md5 for this? I'm in the US and can only read enough of the website to click the icon for download...

My Kingdom for a working zip file

I have downloaded this file: 0P6BIMG_M8_DUGL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.16.401.101_Radio_1.24.30336021.13G_30.69.336021.00_F_release_465002_signed_2_4.zip
at least 4 or 5 times, from three different sources ( 1 cost $5) with no luck. Thanks to xunholyx at least I know what to look for but, so far, Archive manager can't open them and TWRP won't install them. My first method has been to stick it in /sdcard, do a twrp factory wipe and tell it to install but so far no good.

If any of you know where I can get this file or suggestions about maybe where I should be looking or what I should be doing at this point, advice is always welcome. Thanks

You can't flash RUUs with TWRP. You need to flash it in fastboot or use the SD card method. Look at post #4 for instructions.

EDIT: Yes it's English

Sorry to be so dumb, but isn't the RUU in the zip that I can't unpack? I would be thrilled to download the straight ruu or ota.

Don't unpack it. You can't do that. Just follow the instructions to flash the .zip
It is the "straight RUU". It's the .zip contained in the RUU.exe. The .exe is for installing though windows, just like any other software.
With the extracted .zip, you need to flash it in fastboot or with the SD card method.
Just follow the instructions.
There was never any RUU.exe ROM updates for the dual sim M8

EDIT: The RUU isn't in the .zip
The .zip is the RUU

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. I'm not a total noob, just old. I've got a degree in electronics technology from 1986 and know enough adb , etc. to be dangerous, but I'm hoping this phone will last as my wife is on her fourth M8! I love the phone...I had ordered a mini2 as my old one was a mini, and I have worked on them all. My only hurdle is this phone is markedly different from the US models. I've finally ascertained that it was a j15 before it was changed by whomever.

I can't begin to thank you enough for your help. Working with old tech is like restoring an old car and I know there is an enormous education to be had here. I have more questions(of course) but I'll save them for later. I have it running Los for the time being. Thanks again.

M8__dugl, firmware upgrade went south, no fastboot

I got an ota over wifi (from God knows where) and It wouldn't install. I tried to flash it in ruu mode, but it failed, so I unpacked the firmware.zip and flashed it in ruu and all seemed well until I noticed that fastboot says it's running 4.30.401.5 and Software info says it's still 3.33.401.10. This is the ota: OTA_M8_DUGL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.30.401.5-3.33.401.10_release_426355.zip
I'm s-off and relocked at the moment. I was trying to unlock once again using Unlock_code.bin before I put the old ruu back on it when bootloader decided it was no longer going to talk to my pc. adb is fine, just no fastboot.
I rebooted and killed the server more than necessary to no avail. Anyone got any ideas to get me out of this? The phone works but it freezes some. I anyone needs the getvar, I'll post it.
