Saving Data from locked, bricked device

Hey there,
as the title of the threat already indicates, my HTC One X got bricked.
As this usually happens when trying to flash some custom roms or recoverys, in my case it is the result of an official HTC update for android.
I can boot into Fastboot, and via cmd "fastboot devices" does show me the connected phone.
Now my approach for solving this matter was to flash the clockwork mod and then boot into recovery.
From there i wanted to pull data from the phone via adb commands.
The only problem is that my phone is locked. I cannot unlock it at the moment without wiping all data (which obviously would miss the whole data recovery point).
When i try tp flash the CWM in fastboot i get:
sending 'recovery' (8100 KB)...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
I also tried to directly boot a recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img.
This resulted in
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
Well now I am seriously frustrated and dont know how to get my data.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers
Josef

Stuck in the Fastboot/ Recovery

I was trying to root and install a custom rom. When I installed the rom and reboot the device it said no OS installed. I have been trying to send the taimen-opm1.171019.018-factory-e96a86ae.zip file over I realized I have never done that and don't know if there is a fastboot command for push. Any help will be very nice. thanks

You don't send it to the phone but instead you unzip it in a folder with your adb/fastboot files and flash it.

flash the zip? Would I just use fastboot flash image-taimen-opm1.171019.018.zip ?
