As my first post here, I wanted to make it something helpful. Anyway, you will need to find the stock recovery and use fastboot to put it on. Sorry, don't know where you would look to find one, maybe someone has one here?

well as i understand you need to revert to device's stock condition
as far as i know only way to do it is by RUU or individually flashing every image. RUU is easily done but as you mentioned you get error messages try finding out what those error messages mean
common messages are
cant connect to device----ensure you are in fastboot usb mode
version problems----check weather you are using the right RUU (RUU is different for diferent regions) one RUU can have more than one versions so be sure which one you need
and you also need to lock you bootloader before running RUU
let me know if anything works
take a complete backup and make a goldcard just in case..you never know what may happen

Actually, this 's-on' and 's-off' is very much important. You can flash any stock rom with s-off but not that easily with s-on. I'm a noob so I can't really explain further. Search for it!

i got same problem some days ago.cant port ruu and remove cwm.
so first of all you find your ruu from football's marvel collection or search on internet.if its in .zip file its very good extract it,you ll find recovery.img,boot.img and system.img
or if its in .exe file.first try installation wizard if its fail.again start installation wizard and then keep it on dont update bootloader just go to temp folder.(C:\Users\​[LoginName]\​AppData\​Local\​Temp​\​{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}) in this you will have see rom.zip file extract it.you ll find
recovery.img,boot.img and system.img then,
remove battery (power +volume down) to going in hboot then click on fastboot then plug your phone usb with computer open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can see fastboot file in your extracted zip.by this way you manually port stock rom.i tried it and it successfully possible.but i use my original stock rom,ages when i used europe rom it failed.
and please be careful in type commands it ll brick your phone if you doing anything wrong..maybe it ll help you
and yes one thing read this thread carefully i recommand third method which i mentioned here.

and s-on or s-off.there are many difference between twos.i dont know much i m also noob here.but with s-off you can change your hboot,radio and many customization but with s-on its difficult i think.so i recommand you to flash your orginial stock rom if you are s-on.i have s-on phone so my phone wont remove cwm with any other stock roms and its got failed.so mind this thing.and know more about s-on and s-off read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564650

I solved my problem using flashy program. it's very useful. I get the recovery.img from a stock rom's .zip, then flashed.
I exploited some messages in this thread, thanks guys!

Benefits of upgrading bootloader?

I am still running the .92 bootloader. I am running cm10.1. Is there any benefits to upgrading?

Only benefit is that you can unlock it, and are then able to fastbot flash recoveries and boot images.

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Thanks to you and tiny for such a quick and simple response. pb31img used and updated perfectly! Just curious, cmlusco, in your signature i noticed you on hboot 1.07 but it's locked. Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.

I have never had the need to unlock it yet, but like having the ability if needed.

Rooted, CR installed but can't boot.

Hey dudes,
im working on flashing the dhd for various hours.
It is the german version T-Mobile branded.
I had rooted via aahk.
After some problems, i think there is a chance by trying again, also i relooked the bootloader.
In the end it was possible to flash a custom rom.
So I flasht this beautiful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113047
But now all my Phone is showing to me is the T-Mobile branded screen. no boot to rom.
So my Phone is:
S-On
Bootloader relocked.
rooted (?)
i can't boot into android and i don't have any idea what is to do.
Maybe installing a stock rom via CWM as .zip oder flashing via ADB.
please give me your help
greetz

You are not S-Off, so either you got rid of it or AAHK didn't work properly. Your phone can't be both S-Off and have an unlocked bootloader. Re-unlock and flash a ROM from recovery.

okay thanks i get it, but it isn't much better
I flashed a custom rom, no result.
only T-Mobile-Screen

Because you are S-On, each time you flash a ROM you need to
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i need this after flashing a .zip in the recovery?
what boot.img is this and where to get?
how can i bring my phone s-off?
sorry for my questions ;* ^^

Yes, after zip in recovery. It is in the ROM zip. You need to S-Off manually now; there are instructions at AAHK's old site.

Big Thanks, the Rom works.
But the last problem is I don't get a mobile signal.
APN is okay.
I'm in germany aren't some roms working with gsm?
I had reinstalled with full wipe ? no result.
Or should I simply try another rom?
my bootloader show me this message. (added File)
how to fix it?
thanks guys <3

It would be nice if somebody could help
the bootloader is looking for PD98IMG if an sd card is mounted.
I tried a lot of PD98IMG files, but none of this are working.
it's very difficult to get them, because the most of these files are down.
additional i have no idea which is the right file for me and how i can fix this problem.
please help

I was hoping someone could help me, I just downloaded the Resurrection Remix ROM (from this thread for my HTC One X. I have root, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP about 8 months ago, and finally decided to flash a custom ROM onto the phone. I have been following the guide found in this forum post in order to flash the rom. However when I go to install the zip package, I receive the error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.28.0000" || getprop("ro.bo[TEXT ENDS HERE, CAN'T SEEM TO SCROLL RIGHT IN THE LOG)
E:Erroer in filepath/Resurrection_remix..

If anyone could please provide some assistance it would be much appreciated, its a UK phone, so should be the international version of the One X right? I can't seem to work out where I have gone wrong and don't want to take any more steps in case I brick the phone
Thanks.
Edit: OK so I followed the "restore" option in TWRP, and restored a backup of my phone's ROM so at least it's safe now. But if someone could still point out where I'm going wrong or has any advice it would be welcomed, I'm sure it's probably something obvious that I am missing. Perhaps something to do with the kernel?

Thanks Thant. The latest version of TWRP for endeavoru appears to only be 2.6.3 though? techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru
After a search I managed to find this file: androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577118
However after flashing it, it now just hangs on the splash page when entering recovery. I have tried clearing the cache but it still hangs.
Also I accidentally installed a recovery for another phone model earlier today, through TWRP recovery. Is there any way I can remove this in case it is causing problems? Thankfully my device still seems to function fine.
I've just flashed 2.6.3.0 and attempted to install both CyanogenMod & the previous ROM mentioned, however I am still receiving the same error.
UPDATE: I flashed the unofficial TWRP 2.7.x from here, however I am receiving USB-OTG errors, I guess because my hboot is only version 1.12.00. Are there are any alternatives?

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD

Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.

If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

Go and read all important guides to how to do that and what you have to do...you really now nearly nothing about those things...so to be in the safe side read all those guides!

Agreed. Messing with things like firmware, without the proper knowledge is a surefire way to brick the phone.

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Exactly, or RUU already to 4.4.3 skipping the ota.

Are there any 4.4.3 RUUs? More importantly, is there a 4.4.3 RUU for your version?

There is no ruu just system dumps/ recovery flashable zip of stock Rom
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------
Also there is no need of using a RUU... You can just download the stock Rom zip, flash back stock kernel and stock recovery...but only if that Rom matches your cid...If not you have to take a nandroid backup from Mr hofs collection thread...

Aaaand to get ota running there is no need for relocked boot loader it will still work

Yea okay that's right but as long as there isn't any ruu available we don't need to reliving if we aren't s-off

But really, fair enough.

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress

Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.

Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it

Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?

Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory

I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier
