[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!
:crying:

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.

i had the same problem,if you made a nand back up of your stock rom and thats what you are running now-you need to flash the stock recovery there is a link somewhere by clyde.
thats what was stopping me,flashed the stock recovery with the onex all in one tool,re locked boot,flashed the two apk's to force the ota.downloaded and it installed.
you can also do this by adb or download the jb ruu for your device,i was also on 001 cid

You didn't create a backup?!?!

Did you flash it from recovery? You need to get thre boot.img from the ROM zip and fastboot flash boot.img.

Try the boot.img thing from your computer. Get the ROM zip, unzip it, find the boot.img file, connect your phone on fastboot, and fastboot flash boot.img. sashank has a more detailed guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31211732.
Oh, but first, reboot while holding power and volume-down. Tell me what it says.

Give me the output of
fastboot getvar version-main
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Actually hboot 1.39 is correct. The firmware might contain some wrong info but is 100% correct. And you cant flash any other firmware. It will stall on the flash and gives an error. So my guess its all oke.
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
With the file in the Fastboot folder will unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
With the recovery in the Fastboot folder it must flash it.
Do the commands give you a OKEY message after flashing ?

Unlock the bootloader as suggested by Mr Hofs and flash the latest CWM recovery.
Then restore this backup - http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/199-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-j15-3164154/
Also flash the boot.img from the backup. Then you'll be back to stock.

[Q] HTC one X freezing on every rom

Hi,
Today i tried to install the MIUI rom for my HTC one X, but it kept freezing after 20 seconds.
So i flashed the backup i made before i flashed the MIUI rom, but it froze.
After that i tried to flash a backup i made about a month ago, but didnt work either.
Please help, many thanks

Did you flash the boot image from the miui ROM zip? And when flashed your backups did you reflash the boot img from the backups ?. Last but not least , did you fastboot erase cache after flashing each rom ?

Thanks to reply so fast,
i did flash the boot.img from the zip of the MIUI. but did not fastboot erase cache.
After i installed the MIUI rom, i booted my device several times and could get passed the bootlogo, but it just freezes after 30 seconds or so.
So i decided to flash those backups, without reflashing the boot.img (thought the backup restores those) niether did i fastboot erase cache.
so now he freezes on the bootlogo after 3 second or so.

Seems to me that you didn't wiped properly, or your hboot is to low maybe ?

thank you very much for your help,
found a threat were you give step by step instructions how to upgrade your hboot, but my question is, can i do all this whitout a rom installed because none will boot.

Depends on wich thread
And yes it should be possible, just flash the standalone firmware, or return to your original stock ICS 2.17 rom and update via official HTC ota.

So this is the firmware i need to flash using fastboot right?
thanks again for helping me out

First rename the zip to firmware.zip
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (may be needed twice)
Then unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the desired new rom

and the recovery i need to flash is that the one in the zip you send me or do i need to download one myself, and unlocking bootloader is on the site of htc right?

Uhm no the new custom recovery is here.....this one works fine for me
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
And if you still have the unlock file, then you can flah it right away
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
If you haven't got one you must make one indeed via the HTC devsite

now i got a other problem, my fastboot doesnt seem to recognize my phone.
it did a few days ago when i tried to flash the rom :s

Try to update the HTC drivers ......

Flashed recovery as boot.img

Hello everyone,
After having unlocked the boot loader I flashed via fast boot TWRP. The only problem is that I flashed "fastboot flash BOOT recovery.img" instead of RECOVERY... I wasn't paying enough attention...
The phone still boots but it goes straight to recovery. What can I do? Fast boot still recognizes it. I was thinking of extracting the boot.img file from a sense based rom like android revolution HD for the m8 or putting the whole rom android revolution HD on an sd card and flashing via recovery. In other threads users had already flashed a custom rom so they could flash the boot.img extracting it from that but I don't know since I still had the stock unlocked rom.
Would one of these solutions solve the problem?

u can try fastboot flash boot whateverbootloader.img otherwise try fastboot rebootRUU and try flashing hboot from within a ruu zip or wait for HTC to release official RUU

I'll try flashing a boot.img, the other solution is beyond my current skills...

Just extract the boot.img from the ROM you were using. If stock, download one of the stock Roms and then extract the boot.IMG from it and then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Obviously the boot.img will need to be in your fastboot/adb folder.

thank you both, I flashed the correct boot.img and everything is fine now

What... He just needs to flash a kernel, why potentially cause someone to brick their device by flashing a hboot which wouldn't even solve the issue?

where did you get the boot.img file ? care to share it I am stuck too. My phones is from Rogers
