some advice please

hi
last night i tried to install android revolution HD 14.1 jellybean on my one x.
i unlocked the bootloader and put clockwork recovery on. I then created a backup through cwr just in case anything went wrong.
I then followed the guide on here to install the rom.
long story short it got stuck in a boot loop. I obviously didn't put the right boot.img file.
i still had access to recovery etc and continued to search online for solutions.
I decided to try and install the rom again.
so i relocked the bootloader and rebooted. i opened command prompt and typed in " fastboot oem rebootRUU" but i get (bootloader) (ERR) command error !!!
what do i do?

Did you update your HBOOT before you unlocked your bootloader?
What is your current HBOOT version?
Have you flashed the correct boot.img for ARHD 14.1?
We need a little more info on what you have done and/or not done.

Hboot version 1.12.0000

You need to update your HBOOT to the latest one using this tool,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
You need to put your unlock tiken and Boot.img in the same unzipped file as the firmware flasher stuff. Boot your phone into fastboot, start the .bat file and let it do it's thing, it will talk you through each step as it's doing it. Then you just need to flash the rom in recovery. Make sure your CID is on the list in the first page

Batt at least 50% but best to full charge. You shouldn't need an ruu for this

ok, so i've updated hboot to 1.31. and unlocked the bootloader again. but now i can't flash recovery, i get FAILED Commaned write failed, unknown error.
what do i do now?

Probably best to flash the recovery and boot.img through fastboot manually and then Rom through recovery.

PLEASE HELP A NOOB

you just need to update the bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
your CID must match the firmware.zip's CID

You must download this firmware : http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip
Put it in your fastboot folder.. rename it to 'firmware.zip'.. and run the commands matt95 has given! Note that.. flashing the firmware might give an error the first time.. continuously flash the firmware.zip until you get a successful message!
This will upgrade your hboot and from now on you can flash any ROM out here!

If you still want to update via OTA flash.. read the steps which are there in the OTA thread!
Yes, as long as your using stock ROM + recovery... you will get OTA updates! And no... it won't change your IMEI!
Yes, I remember you from that other thread... It's strange that it's displaying as 'none'...

[Q] Cannot update bootloader after relock the phone

Hi there,
I bought a new motherboard for my HTC One X - 16 GB and after download and install via OTA the new Android, I got stucked.
After trying to install all the stuff I found on the internet, I really got stucked and I cannot go on without getting back the official version (I just need to use my phone back, because it took 4 months to the motherboard to arrive here).
When I power on the phone, the HTC quietly brilliant appears and a red message too ("This version is for development and bla bla bla"). Then, it goes to the main screen, where it says:
"
*** RELOCKED ***
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.12.0000
CPDL-none
MICROP-none
RADIO-NONE
...
"
My CID is unknown now, I don't know why, but my original CID is HTCCN701.
I don't really know what to do. When I run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with the RUU, it gives me error (batery low, even though I recharged it all night long or 000000008), and when I try it again, it runs for 20> minutes and say "too many connections".
If anyone have any tips for me, please just send it. I've waited a lot for this motherboard to arrive and now I can't use the phone. :/

I have already tried it, but it does not work. Now the phone says "battery low" and I can't even charge my cellphone, when I plug it on the usb or wall charger, it turns on and stays like this.
I already gone to FlashBoot and Power Down, but when I plug it again, it turns on and does not charge!

Hey man, I've decided that I want to install this rom (the phone is already unlocked and I have a TWRT smooth instaled)
teamandroid.com/rom/slim-dragon-ultimate-rom-htc-one-x-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean/
But I don't know if my CID supports it (or if I'm talking ****), because I don't know if the hboot (v 1.12.0000) that is already installed supports it.
How can I know if this seed will work on my cellphone? My CID is HTCCN701, and my main version is 2.18.1407.3.
Can you help me?

I have found this posts:
tomsawyer.me/325.html#.UzHgm_ldW2a (use translate, it's not the best translation but it's possivle to understand).

Yes, I cannot send websites, so I removed the beginning!

yep downloaded it, i was still on my phone (now on laptop)....it seems genuine. all file sizes match oke. lets flash it
EDIT 1 : writing a tut now....make sure you start with a full battery !
EDIT 2 :
- Download the zip file and rename it to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder on the pc
- Relock the bootloader with ths command :
fastboot oem lock
- Then type :
fastboot oem rebootRUU (watch the capital letters)
- Then type :
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again if the outcome is not OKE
Then type fastboot reboot (the phone probably wont boot, hold the power button + vol down button to get back to the bootloader)
Once in the bootloader you check if th hboot has changed, if so you can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and also a new clean rom (yes any of your liking)

Ok, I'll try it. Do you have any tutorial that I must follow? I've been looking for them but I'm not pretty sure which one must I use.

Man, it has worked smooth! THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I decided to install the VENOM viper X version...
They say: "MUST PERFORM FULL WIPE!!!!!
MUST FLASH BOOT.IMG IN ZIP!!!!!"
The steps I must take are:
Extract the Boot.IMG in the rar file to your fast boot folder
Set up phone in boot mode
Connect to PC
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Boot phone in recovery mode
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from SD card -> pick rom
Is i correct?
Thank you for patience. I really appreciate your efforts and time.

Yeah flash the boot.img and go into the recovery
Make indeed a full wipe (wipe all you can except sdcard) so that means caches, data, system.....
Install the rom.zip and the installer will start. Make sure you choose the option "update only" and the full rom install. Nice choice you won't regret it.
I can also recommend some nice themes which you can find in my signature

I need an HTC One M8 Telus/Koodo RUU for my phone. I flashed GPE Rom and it works great but i want the 5.0 update of my carrier but i can't flash it because i am on a custom rom so i would like to revert back to stock in order to flash the 5.0 update.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem

You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it,
If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)

Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.

One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.

Softbrick or sth else? Ideas welcome

Hi guys,
I tried to make a custom rom on my new HTC10 - something goes wrong (no it wasnt my first one )
But now I am a little bit stucked:
First the data:
** UNLOCKED **
htc_pmeuhl PVT S-OFF
CID-11111111
MID-2PS620000
ColorID-WHT00
LK-1.0.0.0000
[email protected]
OpenDSP-v20.0.8996.00007_0809
OS-2.41.401.41
Aug 2 2017,12:18:15(857212)
The Error happend after "updating" the firmware cause the Lee-Rom suggested the newst one. After the first "Loop" I tried the next one and the next and the next... I dont know how much Firmwares I tried honestly...
I am able to boot into TWRP and I am able to come back to Stock Recovery... So that will work... Maybe my partition crasehd with the Rom?
Any Idea or a little step by step suggestion?
I did the "How to root and TWRP" - Youtube tutorial by Rootjunky and until than everything worked fine... after that the failed Firmware-Update...
I have an EU-Phone, based in Germany
Hope anyone can help and thanks a lot for any ideas!
Cheers

You are on the latest firmware for you phone. Did you try flash a US Unlocked firmware? Best thing to do is to flash the latest WWE RUU. Thanks @Kisakuku
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504
Download and rename the zip to 2PS6IMG. zip
Place on external sdcard
Boot to download mode and press volume uo to flash. The RUU will erase EVERYTHING but you will be completely stock.

I didnt know which one I all tried to flash - I think an US had a try
Do you have any other wink? Or is it just the WWE RUU? Can you explain what RUU stands for? I thought its a Russian version
Thank you a lot, Ill try it later :good:
edit: I always flashed Xiaomi & Sony devices, yet

RUU = Rom Update Utility. It flashes the phone completely as if it came out of the box. Firmware, software.... the whole thing.

Thanks for explain =)
So I just have to flash the RUU - after that if the bootloader is still unlocked I can go ahead to flash a custom rom - right?
Thank you very much guys!

Yup, flash the RUU, the bootloader will indeed remain unlocked. Flash TWRP and install the desired custom rom

No it doesnt work.
After flashin RUU I can boot into system (with the red warning for htc developement) but I cant install any custom rom ... bootloop is the result
and if i had the highest frustrationg, my "its really the last try" - worked... god damn it.. thank you guys. I dont know what the problem was... I did 10 times exactly the same thing
Thanks a lot... for people who stucking around like me:
1. use the link in post 2 and install
2. flash twrp ( https://twrp.me/htc/htc10.html) explained there
3. go into twrp do a data format or wipe ... or both and flash rom - gapps - supersu
4. reboot and wait sth like 5 minutes

You mention flash gapps, for sense roms you don't have to do that, for aosp roms yes. But most of the time it's mentioned in the OP of aosp roms that you have to flash it twice, or flash the boot.img seperatly via fastboot to make it work. The correct gapps will do wonders too...... so i guess one of those things were the issue.
