JB OTA for HTC_044 not working // manual firmware also not working (SOLVED)

I've been trying to update my HOX to JB since yesterday but to no avail:
Im on everything stock (ROM, Recovery etc) and phone is un-rooted. I relocked the bootloader too. but when the update downloads and the phone restarts after a few while, a red triangle with exclamation marks appear and phone restarts.
I've tried to do this 3 times now with no avail.
alternately i've been trying to follow this and when i reach the flashing firmware part, it fails after 2 tries and after the 3rd it just stucks:
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.683s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.886s
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...
FAILED (remote: (00000008))
finished. total time: 0.001s
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...
after 3rd attempt it just stays in sending 'zip' state
anyone got a clue how i can solve either problem?! :/
note my camera app is a modified version. rest all ROM is stock. could this be the issue?! if so, then any way to resolve this other than RUU method?

The last method you tried will not work if the bootloader is still locked !

The red triangle is normally an indication that you do not have the stock recovery. Try to reflash recovery and then fastboot erase cache before trying again, You would need to unlock bootloader in order to fastboot flash recovery. As pointed out in my other reply to you, you would probably need to revert to the stock camera app as well.
Using the fastboot flash zip method, you need to have a locked bootloader and then enter command fastboot oem rebootRUU before running the fastboot flash zip command.

Ah like that ! Thanks clyde :thumbup:
I did not read carefully... was kinda busy with my mac & cheese !!!

thanks, will try the OTA method 1st by installing the RUU. if that works then brilliant! otherwise try the 2nd

I get to the rebootRUU step and that works, but when I try to flash the firmware.zip it always comes up with "error: cannot load "fastboot.zip" : Unknown error" do you know what the problem might be?

Fastboot.zip ..... Yeah that's wrong
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
And the firmware file need to be named firmware.zip !

[Q] Proper procedure to update the HBOOT

Can someone just confirm that this is the correct process for updating the HBOOT on my HTC One X from 0.95 to 1.3x (I'm unsure about step 5 & 6)
1. Determine the CID of my phone using
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
The phone reports
Code:
cid: HTC__001
which according to this means it is a HTC-WWE.
2. Download the latest HTC One X ROM from HTCdev which is endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip
3. Copy the ROM to the phone
4. Relock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem lock
5. Go into fastboot mode and type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
6. Flash the new firmware using
Code:
fastboot flash zip endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip
On first time running the command will report FAILED, don't panic and just run the command again.
7. Reunlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
8. Flash a custom recovery using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. Download the CM10.1 ROM & extract the boot.img from the zip
10. Boot into recovery & install the ROM
11. Install the Google Addon
12. Boot into boot loader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and use fastboot to flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.
13. Use
Code:
fastboot erase cache
14. Reboot and enjoy

Warning
At 2 step, you have to donwload the zip from here and not the source of kernel!!!
And in 6 step you have to use: "fastboot flash zip "name_of_zip.zip"

Don't forget that you will have to unlock your bootloader at the end of all this (assuming you want to do that) and this will probably erase all your data again so back it up, including the SD card.

There is a firmware flashing tool in the development section that makes it easy!

I've found a post here which describes the procedure step by step.
UPDATE HBOOT FOR JB
1. You need your Unlock_bin from htcdev.com to re-unlock ur bootloader so please before u
proceed make sure u have this. Then reboot bootloader, and fire up CMD on your PC (start ->
execute -> cmd) and cd to ur fastboot directory
2. fastboot getvar cid or if it fails fastboot oem readcid will give u the cid of your phone
3. fastboot getvar version-main will give u ur actually RUU version
4. Now we have software version and CID. Time to get our RUU ->
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor
5. Download the RUU for ur Phone (u need a higher or equal version then getvar version-main
reported
6. Place the .exe on ur PC and now we will extract the .zip (the rom.zip what is known as the
RUU) out of the .exe
7. Follow this tutorial: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu to get
the .zip out of the .exe
8. rename the .zip to whatever u like and place it in the fastboot folder of ur pc
9. boot phone in bootloader
10. lock bootloader with fastboot oem lock
11. reboot bootloader, and fire up CMD on your PC (start -> execute -> cmd) and cd to ur
fastboot directory.
12. bring phone into RUU mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
13. fastboot flash zip rom.zip (u extracted and placed it before in ur fastboot folder)
14. In most cases this fails the first time. So redo fastboot flash zip rom.zip (this step costed me
2 hours because i didn´t know that)
15. boot into system when finished and if the version of the RUU isn´t allready on Jellybean
make all necessary OTA updates until u reach latest hboot (1.36, 1.39)
16. place the Unlock.bin which u got long time ago from htcdev.com (and hopefully u haven´t
lost it) in fastboot folder
17. reboot into bootloader
18. fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
19. Ur bootloader is unlocked again
20. Congratz... u sucessfully updated ur hboot

You can do as you described using the file I linked...
without use a ruu

Does that mean if you flash the exact matching cid file from your link you don't have to follow the steps above? re relocking the phone and unlocking etc?

Why the heck are you trying to flash the kernel source in fastboot? There are instructions everywhere and in none of them say that you must go near kernel source
If you just want to update Hboot:
1. relock bootloader 'fastboot oem lock'
2. check cid: fastboot getvar cidnum
3. download firmware.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
4. in fastboot mode, type: fastboot oem rebootRUU
5. flash the firmware.zip using: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
6. Reunlock your bootloader: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
7. reflash custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>
If you want to install ROM after:
8. flash boot.img of ROM
9. go to recovery and flash ROM
10. done

No.
You have to use this procedure, but whit the firmware.zip that you can found at the link i linked, and not whit kernel source.
If you see the OP, you can see that he want upgrade his hboot with kernel source, and he's wrong.
You have to use the firmware.zip that you can found at the link that i have linked.
All the rest of procedure is right

Managed it gents . Now on HBoot 1.39.0000 thank you very much for all your help. Really appreciated:good::good:

so you have fastboot up and running, if you give the fastboot command
fastboot devices
it gives a serial back in the command window ? (your bootloader says fastboot usb, so i guess it should be fine)
how did you execute the RUU, did you execute the RUU with admin rights (right click the ruu.exe and select run with admin rights)

and i cant find answer
why i have this error 170 in fastboot?
this ruu is ok: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.28.771.9_Radio_1.12 04.103.14H_release_256494_signed?
the only thing i noticed that radio its diffident in ruu then in bootloader. and im using Windows 7 and when im in fastboot windows see phone as fastboot.

The main version matches so that should be fine. What you can try is this :
Flash the stock recovery 1.28 and the stock boot.img back first. Then relock the bootloader and run the ruu again.

[Q] Boot loop

So my phone randomly decided yesterday to shut down, restart and then repeat. The phone is unlocked and rooted and on original stock recovery as I flashed it back to this a few months ago to get the official OTA update (It was on TWRP before that). I can get into the bootloader. If I select 'recovery' (stock recovery) the HTC logo screen appears and hangs . If I select 'Factory reset' It shows the 3 droids on skateboards then go's into the fastboot menu. So I downloaded the fastboot files onto my PC (adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and fastboot.exe) and I run a cmd from within the containing folder with my phone connected in bootloader mode and in the fastboot menu. On the phone it displays 'Fastboot usb' and if I type 'fastboot devices' in the cmd window it displays the serial number of the phone (so it does see it). Now when I type 'Fastboot erase cache' I get - erasing 'cache' ... FAILED (remote: err = 0x42004) OR - erasing 'cache' ... FAILED (remote: err = 0x19000008)
Next thing I tried was flashing CWD through the cmd window so I could use a RUU CWD nandroid as the stock recovery seems borked. The image file is in the fastboot folder and when I try - fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img I get - sending 'recovery' (7122 KB)... OKAY [ 0.954s]
writing 'recovery' ... INFOFormat partition SOS done
FAILED (remote: err = 0x30000)
Now I'm not sure what to do next and would really appreciate some help

What do you want to do? Go full stock now? if so then post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

S-off, Relocked and no Root (SOLVED)

Hi guys,
I flashed stock back to my phone and relocked the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock".
I been stuck with this for the last 2 days searching for solution on how to get my phone unlocked and rooted again.
This is what I have tried so far:
1. Rumrunner 1.10.605.10 and 1.10.605.15 firmware (flashed 1.10.605.10 and updated to 15) - Run just fine, but it does not change anything on the phone. Still shows RELOCKED S-off and NO Root.
2. Firewater (temp-root method) - Temproot: Root acquired. Firewater: "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye"
3. Flashing CM recovery - failed remote not allowed
Could someone please help me to get back Root access and UNLOCK my phone?
Thank you in advance.

If your s-off, all you have to do is fastboot flash a custom recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
Then flash superuser zip thru recovery. Then you will be rooted. Also it is a myth that you need to relock the bootloader to do an ruu, so that wasnt really needed. Not sure exactly how to unlock the bootloader again.

1. Download this file http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Rename it to recovery.zip
2. Connect the phone to the pc and open a cmd prompt to where the files are, and type the following.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for hboot.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for grey HTC logo.
Code:
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
Wait for cmd window to say it has finished.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Hit power button to select bootloader, and then use the power button again to select recovery.
If all is well you should boot to TWRP 2.6.3.4. Then flash Superuser http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/Superuser/superuser.zip and you will be rooted.

Enable USB Debugging in Settings.
To do so, go to build information and tap it 7 times.
This will enable the Developer options in settings.
In there, check the box for Usb Debugging.
You should then be able to fastboot flash the recovery as per usual.
Good luck! :good:
