I would try redownloading the ROM (from PC), place on SD card, go into recovery, full wipe from recovery, flash zip file from recovery.

Did you try and apply an update to a rooted phone????

Well, if you're on bootloader screen it usually doesnt recognize your phone.
Last time I flashed a RUU i used fastboot mode. Start your phone with the "back key" held. Then start the RUU.
If you get something like a Model ID Error then, you will have to create a Goldcard to apply the RUU.
CAUTION: Before you flash any RUU, check if it's compatible with your SLCD or AMOLED Device. SLCD Devices are incompatible with certain RUUs, flashing a wrong one results in a semi-brick (display not working, but ROM functioning).

You must be aware of having the correct RUU.then try to enter fastboot, when it is loaded, plug in your cable, you must see that it turns to 'hboot usb plug'. If it does so, you can flash the original RUU, if it is the right one

One X Bricked?

Hey guys,
I might be wrong here but this is my last hope.
Rooted my One X yesterday, tried to install a .zip so that annoying menu bar would go away.
Didn't word out well, got in a 'bootloop', decided to install the stock RUU, but im getting this ERROR 120 30% massage.. i already tried different stuff but nothing seems to work.
Then things got worse, decided to let it charge for a while, but now i can't even get in recovery mode, it redirects it to fastboot.
Thnx in advance

You will need to relock the bootloader to flash the stock ROM
From fastboot do "fastboot oem lock" then try again. Try flashing from Fastboot and if that doesn't work try bootloader.
Alternatively, flash custom recovery and try flashing over original versions of the whatever files you replaced with your modification.

Corrupt RUU?, try downloading it again...

Are you sure you downloaded the correct RUU for the region of your device?

If you are certain your ruu is for your region and not corrupted then from http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...o-get-error-120-battery-less-than-30-a-2.html
Try this
Running Windows 7:
Make sure battery is over 30% (but that's why we're here, isn't it? It IS over 30%) Turn phone off Take battery out for a minute, then replace the battery DO NOT turn phone back on Plug into USB Hold VOL DOWN button and press the power button for 5 Seconds but don't let go of VOL button Make sure the choice FASTBOOT is highlighted and press the power button to select it You should see FASTBOOTUSB up top Stay on this screen while you go to your computer Exit HTC Sync if it's running, wait a minute, then open HTC Sync again, see if it connects (Mine didn't connect to sync, but I left the window open in the bkgrd) Open the updater and go through the steps. Update should begin without error message.
Hope this works for you guys. I tired countless ways to do it before breaking down and calling in. This way worked the first time for me.

If you relocked you also need to flash boot.img in fastboot from the stock rom you want to use.
Extract the ruu.exe and take the boot.img out, flash it using the adb tools and fastboot.

To extract contents from an RUU, do this.
Run the desired RUU
Go to search and type in '%temp%' (without the quotes)
A folder named 'temp' will appear, open that, and search in it for 'rom.zip'
Open the zip, and extract what u jeed from there.
And hit thanks!
Sent from my HTC One X

@TheNetherTukkers, extract the boot_signed.img as theDroidfanatic beautiful explains.
Attached I have the adbtools, extract and put the folder on your desktop's c:\ together with boot_signed.img
So you have c:\adbtools\
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
boot_signed.img
Now put your device in fastboot mode and connect to your pc.
In start\search on your pc type 'cmd' without the quotes and hit enter.
In the command window that pops up browse to c:\adbtools and type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img [hit enter]
fastboot erase cache [hit enter]
After this you go into fastboot again and flash the ruu.

got this,
c:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
sending 'boot' (4288 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.563s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.766s

Hmmm, that's strange.
You have a branded HTC One X?
And which rom are you trying to flash?

I dont think its branded.. i mean i got it from Vodafone (holland) but i dont see a special RUU for that anywhere so i figured i had the genereal european version.

You must be sure about that because there do exist Vodafone updates.
Have a look HERE at the bottum, Vodafone roms for several countries. No Dutch dho.
Did you buy the phone straight from Vodafone or did you use a retailer?
Maybe you could check with them?

[Q] Cant get out of Bootloader anymore. Bootloader relocked - Security warning

Hello,
I have now completely made my PrimoU useless.
For weeks I try to get the CM10 from Lloir working but it never got over the booting screen. So I tried several things, but never came further. Flashing back to my first rom always worked. I tried to unlock bootloader again (thought, maybe it isn't) but it was unlocked. Therefore I tried to lock it to maybe start from scratch.
That was a big mistake, because since then, I am stuck on bootloader. On the top in pink is written "Relocked" "Security warning". No recovery, no starting to the software. I gave it up.
Can anyone help me? I only have a Mac. Is there ANY possibility to just set the whole phone back to Factory form? So no bootloader unlocking, no custom rom, no recovery? I am really thinking about changing it back to this and maybe sell it afterwards. I used HTC Desire for two years with several custom roms and everything. Always could work with it. This device is unfortunately not the same.
But at first I hope anyone can help me to get this back booting with Mac?
Thanks to you all in advance

Moved to Q&A. Please ask all questions there.

Try this ./fastboot-mac flash unlock Unlock_code.bin
You have unlocked it again
You should have it in your email...
Then download the latest boot.img and zip file from cm10 and transfer the Rom zip to your sdcard....
Check development section for cwm recovery 6...download and rename it to recovery.img
Flash it by
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img
Flash boot.img by renaming it and
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery and flash the cm10 zip file....

Thank you all, I used this way:
I installed Virtualbox to use a xp system to unlock bootloader again.
After that I still wasn''t able to install CM10. Whatever I do, it always sticks at the bootscreen.
I then tried the new Modaco Vanilla Rom, and it worked without ANY problems. Now I use this for start... It seems as Jelly Bean is not possible for me...

you got the wrong forum dude

Your problem with CM10
The problem was probably you didn't flash the kernel because if you did then you would have to flash a stock kernel to return to your original rom. Just some advice for future reference

[Q] OTA JB Update will not flash

Hi All,
This is my very first post, I received 2 updates for my device yesterday, 1 being the updated Hboot and the other the JB rom (about time HTC)
I have a rooted One X CID 001 and previously tried flashing a custom rom and failed (got caught in a horrible bootloop) and managed to flash back to stock.
Now this is where I think I have the problem; I have CWM installed, and every time I try to flash the OTA it fails and reboots the phone, yes I have installed the HBoot update before trying to flash in case you are wondering.
I downloaded the RUU today and spun up a windows VM (I am on Mac) which would allow me to adb/fastboot but failed to start anything saying there is no USB device connected. So I tried something else;
I then copied the .zip from the RUU doing the %temp% trick in windows, and copied it to the SD and then ran CWM and tried to install - failed again.
I then tried something else; fastboot flash the zip - fastboot flash zip rom.zip which failed (in Windows) and on my mac I get this error;
sending 'zip' (653640 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002be
FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))
Im running out of ideas! Please help!

Thanks for your response, confirmed my suspicion, so as I cant seem to get my windows VM to install the RUU, what would be the best way to remove clockwork?

relock your bootloader in fastboot with this command:
fastboot oem lock
Now run the ruu!
But more importand. You should read everything related to flashing modding of the HTC One X and also the Forum Rules.

[Q] Error 191 when using RUU - Rom not supported

G'day Guys,
I am trying to root my desire HD. currently 2.3.5
I initially followed the HTCDEV method
For my phone which downloaded the RUU program. PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
this is for Desire HD Vodaphone australia.
I ran the RUU successfully once. It supposedly upgraded the image from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0
apon rebooting into the fastboot screen as per the HTCDEV instructions when attempting to fastboot I recieved errors saying
"no image or wrong image" or something to that effect.
at this point I went back to the drawing board and tried the HOW TO ROOT WITHOUT HACK KIT thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500) method and script for unlocking the bootloader. which downloaded the same RUU program
apon running it this time it still wished to updrade from 2.12.178.2 to 3.13.0.0 and i recieved the error
ERROR [191]: Rom is not supported
I have searched several threads with this error however none of them seemed to have a solution ie.

I cannot locate and temporary ROM zips as per this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21231962

Appologies for the first thread question and its length.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

So I renamed the rom.zip file copied it to the root folder of the SD card.

as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
or can I go straight to download a newer rom. a 4.2 or something and continue on the process

Ok, where I am at.
I have flashed the stock rooted rom as per the guide.
it works fine and has root access.
I didnt go through the process for S-OFF from step 6 onwards as I got a little lost what i needed to do as I had already done some of the goldcard steps. either way.
I am currently unlocked and rooted. with 2.3.5 stock rooted rom.
I tried to install a cryogenmod rom and jellytime rom.
as per this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866122
I installed them from the cwm recovery then tried to "flashboot flash boot boot.img" with their respective boot.img.
both roms didnt progress past the htc boot screen they just black screened.
can anyone hint why these roms wouldnt load? is it an s-on issue? or am i lost with the boot.img or missing another step?
i have reloaded the stock rooted image using cwm and flashboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks all
Ben

The command is "fastboot," not flashboot." Are there any errors when you run it?

Yeah fastboot was what I was using . Typo sorry. Still not working. Should they work whilst using this method?

Ah appologies I am blind today.
No error msgs. Boot.IMG is coppied over as it is when I do it with the rooted stock Rom.
Just when rebooting afterwards. The phone does its .HTC flash screen for like 30 secs then it goes to a black screen (phone on) indefinitely.
The process I am using is
1 zip Rom on sdcard.
2 cwm delete user data
3 cwm install zip image from sdcard which works
4 reboot
5 fastboot USB
6 from pc: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG (extracted from Rom zip)
Am I doing anything incorrectly or missing a step.
Rooted, unlocked bootloader s-on
Thanks all

Is the phone in fastboot? What ROM? What recovery version?

The phone was in fastboot USB
The working Rom is the one listed shoved from the full root sticky..3.12.405.1 rooted by nitr00
The 2 Roms that failed were jellytime and cryogen. Either the current or most recent stable apparently
Recovery is cwm. It's a slightly older version I think though. It was the only one I could find at the time.
Maybe 2. Something. I'll reboot now and check. Could that be an issue?

Bootloader unlocked
Hboot 2.00.0029
Radio 26.14.04.28m
Cwm recovery v 2.5.1.2

Yay just tried with the latest version of CWM and it works... FFS why wouldnt I have used the current version.
anyway I am playing with 4.2.2 jelly time now.
Thanks so much every contributor. your replies helped me keep going.
