How can i flash firmware to a Locked, S-ON HTC M9

[tbskarthik]

Hello

I have one HTC M9, but recently it stopped working. After hardware repair, it come back alive. But, now no firmware in it. No recovery, no bootloader.

The device id currently locked and s-on.

How can i flash the firmware?

I cant get in to the recovery,
I cant get into the download mode or anything.

Please help me.

Why not do it the right way and tell the repair (dis)service to reflash it before returning it to you? Repairing a phone does not include wiping the firmware. (And if they had to replace the motherboard, it should have come with firmware already flashed to it.)

but, how can they do with a Bootloader Locked, S-ON htc?

If they can't, unless the country you live in has absolutely no consumer protection laws, they'll have to replace the phone. One of my mottoes is "you broke it, you own it".

They'll just have to unlock the bootloader, etc., then flash it again. If they don't know what they're doing, they'll have to pay a shop that does know how.

But, i reached them for hardware repair. I dont know the exact reason, how my fone damaged. One day it suddenly stopped working.

Now, hardware is Ok, and need to flash the OS.

Thats y i need help.

Doesn't matter if you sent it to them for hardware repair. They should have given you back a working phone.
