HELP! HTC ONE M8 - Bricked? - GSM-Forum

Hi All,

I've been a member here for a long time, but now with a new account.

I have a real problem, and I do not know what to do.

Firstly, I am pretty computer literate, but I am lost with phone technology a little. I have a bit of experience flashing ROMS, but I really do not know where to begin.

I bought a HTC ONE M8 for my daughter from eBay (I know... ) and today it seems to have tried an update. This has resulted in bricking my phone. The M8 was (I thought) new, but whatever has happened has screwed things up.

Can someone help me recover from this update failure? I can provide all information from the BOOT screens for you, but as yet, I don't even know what to supply.

Thanks chaps - I know this is the only place that will be able to help as you are all expert.

Simon

Edit: I have installed Android Studio as I have read that this is what I need initially.

Edit: Bootloader Information
*** Software status: Official ***
*** Locked ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF
OS-6.12.401.4

So, here are my thoughts. I think that this is a Chinese HTC and it has tried up update to a Europe Marshmellow ROM. Can anyone confirm this might be causing the problem?

Can I "roll-back"?
