[SOLVED]
As you can see in the title I have a lot going on.
I followed the correct steps to unlock the bootloader and it was successful as at one point I saw:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
Right off the bat I don't understand the reason for the "tampered" flag, but moving on...
For the record here is the other info below exactly as I see it:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
RADIO-0.16a.32.09.06
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
Apr 2 2012,21:08:24
After trying to flash different version of CWM Recovery with NO luck, I was stuck in a bootloop. Rebooted to FASTBOOT, erased cache, stock ROM loaded right away. At this point, every time I tried to flash ANY recovery (stock or CWM), I'd get the following message:
"This build is for developement purposes only Do not distribute outisde of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may result in legal action."
And then it would proceed to a bootloop. I can't even use "FACTORY RESET" or get to the stock recovery, haven't been able to since the beginning.
At this point I thought to try "fastboot oem lock" and try again. That's precisely when I started to get this at the top of HBOOT:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***Securty Warning***
(Security Warning seems to come and go as it pleases at different times when accessing HBOOT, very awkward)
The interesting thing is, through all of this (as long as the phone allowed me to or as long as I erased cache through fastboot), the stock ROM (Rogers in Canada) actually works perfectly fine. I can boot into it no problem. But now I'm stuck with this odd issue inside of HBOOT and I don't know what to do to make it work. I found a bit of info suggesting that I could have a developer version of the phone if I'm getting that message following a recovery install. Keep in mind though this wasn't shipped to me, I got it from a retail store. Very odd.
Any insight regarding this would be greatly appreciated. I'm not bricked at the moment so that's nice, but I definitely would like to figure this out.
Thank you!
Can I ask you where did you get this phone from ?
I have gotten these messages alot when i had bricked my phone a while ago ...
Security warning always occured in HBoot when my battery was below 30%
Legal notice showed up when i tried booting custom Rom with a stock Recovery.
As long as it is relocked, try using a matching RUU. Make sure Battery is charged as much as possible. Also see Thread "Disaster Recovery" here in the forums

Evita is the code name for HTC One XL.
Really eh? I got it from Best Buy Mobile but it's a Rogers device. Advertised as the One X but yeah on GSM Arena it actually is the One XL. I'm guessing it's more or less exactly the same as the One X...for custom ROMs and what not...hopefully. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
In any case, I'm going to try to flash a shipped RUU (if I can download it from filefactory, error messages so far) then try to flashboot CWM again and see how that goes.

Thank you. Sorry mods please move this when possible.
I did make sure to download the correct EVITA ROM, it's flashing as we speak.
EDIT:
I should have tried the CWM version in that thread before flashing stock ROM. Oh well, better to start from a clean state anyhow.
DONE guys thank you very much for the info. Installed the correct version of CWM, rebooted, back to HBOOT, done. TAMPERED is there but as outlined in the thread that's normal. Now, on to flashing!
can u send me the rom

I've switched kernels multiple times and flashed a custom ROM on my One X but my HBOOT has never shown a "tampered" flag. Does anyone know why that is?

Because your device is an Htc One X not an Htc One XL. Only One XL will show tampered flag.
i have the same error
after i ttying to update my HTC ONE X AT&T, i had this message, i think as your message

I too have the same problem with my HTC One X from Rogers (or I thought it was HTC One X, from what I read here it could be an XL!).
Would you please step through the process you used to get CWM installed. I have TWRP presently installed.

Before anyone gets to be smart ass, I have already tried searching forums. Searched google for quite a bit as well. Spent couple hours on the subject matter but still couldn't fully understand everything so that's why I am asking questions here.
I have gotten hold of a HTC one X which is acting up. Freezes up, screen goes all haywire, things get mixed up, screen banding. From what I have gathered it is on a custom rom ORDROID. I want to simply make it go back to stock rom and if not possible then to cyanogen rom. But the priority is to get back to stock rom and see if it fixes things up. I am a Galaxy series Owner where things r not complicated , HTC is not my forte. Please just guide me to a simple procedure it will be very appreciated.

Android Version : 4.1.1

I believe phone is rooted and recovery is installed as well.
Quick reply with simple instructions and minus the sarcasm will be loved
PS: Any unbranded GSM English ROM will be fine.
well since you're rooted already and have cwm , I'd suggest you simply try and flash another Rom , there's a guide how to flash them easily in every roms thread by dev who made it. shouldn't be too hard , just don't forget to erase cashe. gl.
You say you 'got hold of it', which implies it wasn't yours from new. Check with whoever you purchased it from as to which original firmware it was on

Why you didn't search the four... ok you did that, but how about Googli... ok you did that as well. How about understandin... ok you couldn't (joking here).
Your first sentence made me laughing when I read it, and yes it really starts getting out of control with those smarties (at least on HOX forums).
Sorry for the OT, now to your problem. I'll give you some guidelines and you could search the rest, which I don't consider it as a problem in your case.
* If your boot loader is unlocked, lock it first (you could find the guide here, and also posted many times on JB threads).
*(Skip this part and move to the next one) Download your RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor or from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/ (provided by [email protected]).
* I think this RUU is the right one for your, http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
* Install it.
That's all & Good luck.
Happy Christmas
Note: if you read the word [email protected] it doesn't mean you are rooted.

Try also installing CWM Recovery and do what neuTrue says.
sorry for noobing but i am all unfamiliar with one x and especially htc's so about this bootloader, it says *** LOCKED *** and ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL below that. should i assume that bootloader is locked (because of ***locked*** thing) or is it unlocked (s-on)?

you dont need cwm to install the ruu. actualy you need to relock the bootloader if it isnt allready locked.
then you need to find out the correc ruu for your phone
fastboot getvar version-main this command should tell what version is the correct for you
i have a question. this phone is on stock rom, and as far as i understand we are flashing a "custom" stock rom.
but what is the difference? why does htc make a rom with major problems like these? and can we fix these problems better than htc?
hope this rom fix this problem, cuz its very annoying.. :s
Hello guys,
I'm not gonna keep it short, because this is really important.
I recently bought my HTC One V and rooted it today. After a lot of trying, I flashed Clockworkmod on it.
After doing this, I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, so I wiped all system data, etc.
This went wrong, because I did something wrong that did not allow me to flash custom ROMs.
So here's my problem: I'm stuck! I cannot boot my phone, I get the HTC logo with some text like this:
"This version is distributed for developer purposes only...", etc.
So, I don't have any OS installed on my phone, I can only access my fastboot menu, CWM and stuff like that.
I tried installing other ROMs but it just does not work. This proves I screwed it up.
Then, after 2 hours of intensive Googling, I found this thing called RUU recoveries. I tried to find it for my HTC One V. Then, after another 30 minutes of Googling, I found it, downloaded it (took me another hour or so with the stupid server), opened it but got the error that I got the wrong version of the RUU Update Utility.
I cannot find the right one, I think it doesn't exist, because I live in the Netherlands and my carrier is Vodafone.
PLEASE HELP ME. How can I do a factory reset with the stock firmware? Please I really need help because I just bought this phone and I'm just a teenager so I can't afford another one.
ALSO PLEASE RESPOND ONLY IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Hello ofadlaoui,
I might be able to help if you can give me some information from your fastboot menu. Copy all of the text. It should look something like:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.blah blah blah
RADIO- 1.blah blah blah
eMMC- boot
Some date in 2012, some time
Also as a second thought, did you flash the proper kernel/any kernel at all? That might be the problem that you're facing. Or the proper ROM... anyways, shoot me back a reply and I'll see if I can't find that goshdarn RUU for you.
Cheers, worldindo1.
Some personal notes: The CID for Vodafone NL is VODAPE17. Region code is x.xx.161.xx (Vodafone UK, which I found strange since Vodafone Switzerland-Germany is closer). Just need the hboot & radio versions you have and I can see if I might be able to get you a proper RUU.

Hey man,
First of all, thanks for replying. To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about, as I am an Android amateur. I only used the Update Utility of HTC to try and flash the RUU but it didn't work. Anyway, I booted my device in HBOOT and this is what it says:
Code:

Patiently waiting for your answer, thanks a lot!
Don't worry... I hope u haven't flashed kernel.. first flash kernel then ur ROM...follow the steps correctly from given link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665
Hit thanks if I helped u...
Your device isn't bricked because it boots.. Just download the right kernel and the right rom and flash it according to the guides that can be found on this forum
Chill out man, yours is not bricked.
If you're using HOV CDMA, search custom rom in CDMA/PrimoC section.
But if you're using HOV GSM, then search in GSM/PrimoU section here or here.
Make sure if you choose Sense-based rom (MySense, MIUI, etc), pick the latest Titanium-Kiss kernel by Maxwen.
And if you choose CM10 based rom (PA, CM10, EverVolv, etc), pick the latest HellBoy by Maxwen, or SuperSick kernel by Simonsimons34.
Then after that, just copy the custom rom to your sd card, flash it to your phone.
Choose the right kernel & flash it too.
Voila! Your phone is ready to kick some asses.
Hope it turned out ok. Let us know how it goes. the advice others have given should get you back up and running.

You are on GSM so go pick out from those "here" or "here". If this doesn't work, do not despair as I will try to find the RUU for you. Hopefully it was just an improper ROM or kernel. If one of those ROMs/kernels works get back to me and I'll drop the search but from this point I will be scouring the stinkiest, smelliest, grungiest corners of the internet.
Hello, I'm completely new and completely stuck.
I decided yesterday to root my phone and try and install slim bean following these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572
It all seemed to install properly and I thought it was all a piece of cake. However, much like the original poster my phone is now stuck on the HTC logo screen.
I have tried restoring my nandroid backup (if that's the right name/term) but it doesn't help. I have tried all-sorts of other things but none seem to work. So I assumed I must have to use a RUU. I tried to find one that is compatible but I get an error which says the model is incorrect or wrong, or whatever when I use it.
I have pretty much exactly the same fastboot details as the original chap, except for the date is different.
I cannot find an RUU with the same radio numbers (I don't know if that is important), the current one I'm using is the Europe one from here...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9187896-post22.html
The H3G UK ones are no longer available. I've also looked on androidfiles RUU page but they seem to have none for HTC One.
I am at a complete loss as to what I can do. You guys seems to have a wealth of knowledge and so I am hoping you'll be able to sort me out, if you can I thank you in advance!

As it said in the OP on the Slim Bean ROM topic, you have to use a CM10 compatible kernel, such as maxwen's kernel. You can find this on One V Original Android Development.

As far as I know, it's not that simple. Due to the CID your phone likely has you'll need to install CWM and then flash a stock rom. Maybe other can chime in on this?

From what I can see, everything about this device screams Verizon, a US carrier. Even though it is S-OFF and has SuperCID. What I suggest you try is:
Make a Nandroid backup of your current setup. Once this is backed up, remove it from the device to a safe place on your PC.
Download and flash the stock Verizon RUU file from here: I suggest the .exe version as it will be a simple process. If you are confident enough, then the .zip version. Read the thread, read ALL the instructions BEFORE you start.

I'm sorry if you cannot understand what I'm saying. The information you posted points to the device having Verizon firmware and operating system. The device was modified before you took possession of it, you have S-OFF, SuperCID though you say you are not rooted. That may be. You just have to sit down and start reading. Use the search function in XDA and search by "keyword" what you are looking for. Only when you understand the basics will you be able to go further.
Now what should i do first ? Root my phone

To make a Nandroid backup you need to root the phone and then flash TWRP recovery. Follow this thread. You're already S-OFF so that part can be skipped.
So i have to skip twrp part ok ill follow that thread

Forget about those. Follow the thread. If you are not willing to follow basic instructions, you will brick your device. Follow the thread for root as it describes in the thread. Then flash the correct version of TWRP recovery. Stop being so impatient. You MUST follow the instructions or you will brick.
Ok sorry ill follow the thread but somethings in the rooting procedure are unclear thats y i asked about the alternative

I directed you to the correct RUU in post #2. Why did you not do what I told you? Are you reading this at all or are you just throwing silly questions about? Read post #2 and download the RUU I link to. What can be more simple?
Please bear with me i am kindia idiot

I agree with Einwod, the product name "M8_WLV" in bootloader means its the Verizon version; and the OS number in bootloader (3.28.605.4) also backs this up.
The Verizon version M8 does support GSM (and GSM SIMs), is SIM unlocked out of the box; but also supports CDMA.
The software number in Settings (3.31.512.2) is related to the current ROM. This number appears to be the software number for the LRA version M8. Which I'm not too familiar with, but Googling around, it appears this is for the "LTE for Rural Areas" network, which is basically just a subsidiary of Verizon. My guess is, that the previous owner flashed the LRA ROM in order to remove Verizon branding in the software (or maybe they just removed any Verizon branding manually).
Also, the lack of Verizon logo on the back of the phone means nothing. We've seen a few devices on the forum here that have had their backplates replaced, causing confusion as to what version they are.

Again, I agree with Einwod, while you may not have rooted the phone, it was absolutely modified. The previous owner did s-off and SuperCID to the phone, and changed the ROM.
Where did you get this phone? If the seller claimed it to be the GSM version (non-Verizon or Sprint) and never rooted, those claims were false. Unrooted maybe (returned to a non-root condition). But it was definitely rooted at one time, made s-off, and custom ROM installed.
I am afraid that flashing a new rom would effect the sim functioning etc . My phone was imported from taiwan
