RE-Lock your bootloader.
Easiest.
Just enter fastboot on your phone then use command prompt and write:
cd..
cd..
cd \fastboot
Then connect phone to cable then type:
'fastboot oem lock'
Edit: Phone must be in fastboot mode before connecting.
And then you will be able to update easily.

ya followed this guide when rooting and installing clockwork recovery...not installed any custom rom yet..just rooted in phone after unlock.
now not able to do ota which has just arrived in india

Help anyone. have relocked thephone now what. tried to do a factory reset from bootloader menu nothing happens .how do I get the phone back in condition newly bght. even clockwork recovery seems to have gone..this is so disappointing

You didn't need to lock the boot loader. Unlock it using the method you used when you unlocked your phone.
All you need to install the ota depends on what state your device is in before you start.
Are you on the stock from or a custom from?
If stock with unlocked boot loader and clockwork mod recovery then all you needed to do was flash the stock recovery reboot and do the ota.
If you were in a custom rom you will have needed to get back to stock from the nandroid backup you took, flashed stock recovery, and stock boot.img. Then reboot to stock and do OTA.

[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...

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] Q: Firmware Package HTC One X

I'm going to update my htc one x to jelly bean from ICS, using custom ROM (ARHD), it was noted that I need a firmware package, and now that I found the package for my CID because took sometime before I found it, is it really required to flash it? TIA

For JB roms you need a JB hboot those are the 1.31 and higher up. Except for the aosp JB roms, those run also on the lower ics hboots.
So if you are on a lower hboot then 1.31 then yes you need to upgrade the hboot

Now I think everything's messed up and I badly need help here, so stupid with I did.
At one moment, my phone is stuck at One tm screen, after I flash the boot.img and installed the custom ROM. I tried to restore my phone using CWM but it still stucked. It was too late before I realized how to flash the firmware package that I need to rename what I downloaded to firmware.zip. I tried flashing the firmware without knowing that I have to relocked my phone before I flash it. Now I relocked my phone and I'm stucked with hboot and I can't do anything at the moment.

With it relocked. In fastboot do
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals)
Your phone will then reboot into a black screen with the HTC logo.
Then do fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Once completed fastboot reboot-bootloader
It will reboot into bootloader
Then unlock and flash recovery again.
Flash boot image and reinstall ROM and you should be good to go

Cannot load "firmware.zip" always shows up. My CID is HTC_044, and as far as I know I downloaded the correct firmware package for my phone according to ARHD forum. Thanks in advance.

Did you have the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder?

Yes. And I downloaded it 3 times just to make sure it is the right firmware.

Oh and sometimes you need to flash it 3 or 4 times to succeed. I had to do the command 3 times when I flashed my firmware.
So try it multiple times in a row.
Sent from my One X

Sorry but I tried several times and "error: cannot load 'firmware.zip' all the time. What could be the problem?
During at work. I thought if is it possible just to return to stock ROM? But I just can't find the proper RUU yet.
cid: htc_044
version-main: 1.29.707.11

I'm currently charging my phone using the batch file I found here in xda. I saw a lot of posts regarding flashing the current version of CWM so you can charge your battery, I think my CWM is in version 5.8.1.0, and as far as I know you have to unlock your hboot before you can flash recovery, so it's impossible for me to flash 5.8.4.0? Am I correct here or I can just proceed to the other steps?

I can check tonight if i have your RUU !

Thank you Mr Hofs! And, should my battery level is 30% or higher before I can flash the RUU?

Yes ! If you can't get enough power with the batt script you can flash the latest cwm recovery and charge the battery in there to 100% if you want to.
Unlock the bootloader first if it is still locked

I was done in re-unlocking my bootloader, but then I still can't flash cwm recovery because it says low battery, then I tried to use the batt script again and of course it cannot work since I just re-unlocked my bootloader.

I never tried it with a unlocked bootloader, have you tried it ?

Yes, I tried it and it doesn't work.
What I did for the past hours, I tried to restore my phone again using cwm recovery, still nothing changed, still stucked at htc one logo, then I turned it off trying to charge it using the main charger and it does have light in its LED, left it for a while and now it doesn't turn on.

Try it with phone connected to the pc, it seems to make a difference sometimes....and if you are capable again to run the bat script then leave it for 2.hours or so !

Now it's working. The first time I used the batt script, I thought it could charge more than 3681mV but It didn't work as it didn't get higher than 3681mV. I HOPE it's enough just to flash the cwm recovery. Thanks Mr Hofs, will update asap.

[SOLVED] Hboot upgrade attempt failed

I'm trying to help a friend remotely fix his current brick of a HOX and would like some pro advice to ensure im telling him the right thing. Info I have:
Its S-On UK T Mobile CID T-MOB005.
He obtained a 1.39 firmware from somewhere that matched his CID
At some point in the process the firmware flash failed or partially flashed
His Custom Recovery is gone
His HBoot version has not increased (i think 1.12)
He has a security warning under the 'relocked' message in bootloader
Before he tried the firmware upgrade he flashed viper x 3.4.0 + boot.img so the phone wont boot up normally now
He has a nandroid backup from before the process.
Im going to recommend to him to download the 1.36 firmware from Mikes thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 (i notice there is no 1.39 available for his CID so im suspicious this was a duff file he had for 1.39)
If he cant flash it because of low power then he should use the charging batch script first or re-unlock, flash CWM, restore nandroid and flash the boot.img from it so he can boot phone and charge it normally or from cwm.
I guess after that start to look at an RUU or a stock nandroid backup download to be able to do the firmware OTA ?
My own HOX is S-Off so im not as familiar with the process as i never worried about the correct firmware or had to flash boot.img separately from roms or nandroids.
Any tips appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Yeah that's about it.....only flashing the rom is not going to work because of the low hboot.
Just charge the battery and and unlock the bootloader, then reflash a custom recovery and charge the battery up in there.
With enough power he can relock the bootloader and flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot rebootRUU (watch the capital letters)
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Unlock the bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash the custom recovery again and install a new rom ! :thumbup:

Cheers, so out of interest what causes the Security Warning in the bootloader ? Is it because the phone knows there is a screwed up firmware flash or knows it cant boot\has low power ? It must have done something as his custom recovery was wiped even though the Hboot ver didnt change.

how does the security warning look like exactly.....i know there is a warning because the bootloader is relocked. don't know if we are talking about the same picture now

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
You have to relock the boot loader to flash an updated firmware which is the point you are at and why you are seeing the security warning.
The first time you flash the updated firmware it flashes everything else.
Stock recovery, boot.IMG and sometimes other partitions.
Then it tries to flash the hboot and fails.
All you usually have to do is tell it to flash a second time and then in succeeds in updating boot.
Obviously he stopped after the first attempt which is why only the recovery changed and not the hboot.
I doubt he has a bogus firmware as the phone will not attempt to flash anything that isn't signed and cid matched.

Great will check, just assumed he had tried it twice as all instructions I've seen state that you must but then again i dont know what instructions he followed - maybe he didnt ! Ive not seen this explanation of whats being flashed and in what order before - cheers.

Ive not seen it but i assume its something like this

Then all the usual bootloader stuff
based on images ive seen before on web. can find them with a quick google of images.

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Yeah that's normal :thumbup:

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Ok it lives ! Was a combination of the firmware file and his battery being too low to flash so he put cwm back on, charged and then followed my instructions. Cheers for help
This is the what I sent him incase anyone else finds them useful. Assumes you know roughly what your doing and that you must get back to fastboot usb for the commands .
-----------------------------
So get phone into fastboot mode by power plus vol and choose it in bootloader., plug usb in so it says fastboot usb, then get command prompt in directory with fastboot in on pc.
1. Lock bootloader with: fastboot oem lock
2. Vol and power down to get into bootloader again
3.fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Should now get phone with silver HTC in middle on black
5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip where this is the new firmware for your cid.
6. Might fail first time. Do it again and it works
7. Should now see green bar completed under the htc
8. Power and vol to get to bootloader. The hboot should now be updated.
9. Now to unlock bootloader again
. fastboot flash unlocktoken unlockcode.bin (where unlockcode.bin is the file you got from htcdev)
10. Now on the phone select yes and it reboots.
11. Don't wait just use power and vol to get into bootloader.
12. Flash custom recovery again. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is the cwm 5.8.4.0
13. You can now flash your chosen Rom boot.img. fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. fastboot erase cache
15. Now use recovery to flash the Rom.
16. Done

Bootloop on Desire HD

Hi Peeps. Appreciate any help here.
Recently got 02 faulty Desire HD from someone. No idea what he did. One of it has a bootloop, while the other is just stuck on the HTC logo. I will just concentrate my problem on the device with the bootloop as it seems to have a higher chance of recovering.
Was able to boot to HBoot and shows me this screen. I will type it out as I have no access to camera for now.

You are s-on. You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot after installing the rom.

Have you fastboot flashed a recovery?

Firstly. is there anything to make it S-OFF? Couldn't find a method that works. Most of it I found requires to boot into Android which is impossible for my case.
Also tried to put PD98IMG.zip in SD card to flash it, but give CID incorrect error.

Knowing what the error was would be helpful. Of you want S-Off you need to relock and do it manually.

2. Bootloader should be unlocked after flashing the unlock.bin from htcdev.com. I saw the *** UNLOCK *** when I go into HBOOT.
3. Command I used was *fastboot flash recovery recover.img*. The recover.img is actually the CWM recovery.
4. HTC Sync is installed.

Signature check is failing or the .img file is flaw (try downloading again) or your bootloader is not unlocked in its whole. That happens from time to time. Try using this recovery image (touch CWM):
