[Q] HTC One X Hboot bricked, help please! - HTC One X

Please help me, I have misread that Maximus 8.0 is for all CID, hence I have did all the step to flash hboot as well, so I did "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and the cmd hang in the middle of sending the firmware.zip.
Then I reboot the phone and now the hboot is with Hboot security warning and my hboot remaind at 0.96 version.
Please help me how to return everything back to unlock states with functional recovery, because I cant even get to recovery right now. Please hlpe me with guides because really do not want to mess it up again.
Thank you all in advance! my CID is 044

I am wondering will running RUU solve the problem because I believe my battery should have about 50% and above...
Thank you all in advance! my CID is 044

I am thinking will running RUU will solve this problem since my Hboot is in early version?

Dude you're not bricked, re-unlock your bootloader with 'fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin'
then restore clockworkmod backup/flash ROM

OMG, it works! Seriously thank you a lot!!

Use the latest clockworkmod recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
this way you will be able to mount the usb storage in cwm and to copy a different custom firmware.
Then you can flash a different custom firmware, i guess it should work.

Yes, I unlock my bootloader again and reflash the recovery. Lucky is I have all the files I need in phone storage, so after nandroid restore and now phone function as usual.
Seriously thank you guys for helping out

[Q] Downgrade hboot 1.02.0000??

Any chance to do that? I`m stuck in custom rom and no chance to flash any of stock ROM`s because of hoot version... Same thing with fastboot.. No chance to flash hoot .nb0 from fast boot.. Thanks in advance
Have you tried using revolutionary?
Or the HTCdev Unlock Tool?
Yes, revolutionary does not support this version of hoot...
And boot loader is unlocked by htcdev site, but that is a problem now for me..
Do you have clockworkmod recovery?
Yes, CWM flashed from fastboot? Is there a way to flash hboot from CWM or..?
What happens when you try flashing a rom from CWM or wiping?
Signature error if i try rom with hboot.img in .zip... I only could flash a rom without hboot.. But my aim is to downgrade hboot...
You can't just flash any .zip file randomly. Especially if it's something as sensitive as the bootloader.
And try flashing a rom in CWM, you might not need to downgrade.
Naturally, I understand that and I understand well how should i have flash.. When i wrote zip rom without hboot i meant Buzz_Froyo_hTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_SAFE_FLASH_ZIP...
I want to downgrade hboot version to be able to use revolutionary instead of htcdev unlocked boot loader, understand me? Mentioned Froyo ROM does`t have hboot image in archive, and that`s why is safe...
I'm not sure if the HTCDev bootloader can even be unlocked.
But don't take my word for it...
I just hope you're wrong.. I hope that team mate from revolutionary have some idea in the future days...
Actualy, after looking at the RUU you were trying to flash. It's "safe". You could try using a "non-safe" one.

Are you trying to flash an ruu Rom.zip from recovery?

@nejc121
Give me the link of "non-safe" to try?
@Scratch0805
Yes, i tried just that, but with no luck...
It can't be done like that, I think the images need unpacking first, if you look inside a custom Rom and compare it to your Rom.zip you'll see the difference.
I don't think you can use PC49IMG after unlocking with HTC dev either so your only option is fastboot and after I read the warning about not going back after using the tool it wouldn't surprise me if they locked it so it can't be flashed with fastboot either.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Every section of Stock ROM i could flash with fastboot, except hboot which is my highest goal... You are right, i can`t use PC49IMG.zip anymore...

S-OFF on Hboot 1.02.0000
Hi guys,
first of all... forgive my english.
Please help me to get S-OFF on my buzz with hboot 1.02.0000 UNLOCKED (Unlocked by HTC DEV SITE guide)
I've got CWM on my wildfire, and used gingerbreak to get superuser privileges, but CWM recovery mode doesen't work anyway, when i try to boot my buzz in CWM Recovery Mode, appears a RED Triangle with an "!" and I can't do anything but if i press Vol UP and Power Button, appears a menu with:
- reboot
- update with update.zip
- wipe cache
- wipe data factory/cache
I've tried all of these options, but it doesen't work.
I've tried with revolutionary, but it doesen't work, when i start the .exe file, it says
"buzz, with hboot 1.02.0000 is not supported at this time"
I think my issue is because of I didn't get S-OFF on Hboot 1.02.0000 .
please help me to flash the ROM 've chosen to use.
forgive me... I'M a SUPERNOOOB

when the bootloader is unlocked using the HTCdev method ,there is no s-off required.. BTW try flashing the cwm recovery again using the fastboot method becoz the options you mentioned seem incomplete..maybe after doing this you may get "install zip from sd" option in cwm recovery so that you can flash custom roms..
Alternative: You can rename the custom rom to update.zip and put directly on sd (not in any folder) and choose "update with update.zip" option which you already have in cwm recovery.

Returning to Stock from JB Maximus

Hi, I'm heading back to stock JB Sense from the original JB Maximus rom (which worked very well). I relocked in fastboot and went to flash original RUU (3.14.401.31) and I got the error message to use the correct RUU. My cid is HTC__001, it's from Clove UK. Do I need to change the HBOOT? It's from the first Maximus JB rom. It's just booting to the bootloader now. Thanks for any help!
Do this:
fastboot getvar version-main
and post the result here...

3.09.401.100
Thanks very much!
Firs you need to update your firmware to 3.14.401.31 with Hboot 1.39..
Download (firmware): http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.14.401.31.zip
And then run this RUU:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
Hi, thanks very much, that was the RUU I used but I'll try with that firmware and report back. Cheers for the prompt help!!
Hi, I've downloaded the firmware a few times but when I try to flash it I'm getting "cannot determine image filename for 'firmware.zip'
I moved the firmware download to my fastboot folder and renamed it firmware.zip. Then I did "fastboot flash firmware.zip" < EDIT YEP THAT was the problem
Thanks again!
Honestly at this point I'd just even go back to Maximus 4.1 at this point, but those threads all disappeared.
EDIT: I got the firmware updated, now going for the RUU
Got the RUU installed, thanks very much vin4yak. Now the screen is flashing (flickering) on the sides once it booted, do you have any idea what I can do about that? I'm happy to install a different Sense rom if that helps.
Hey there,
similar problem: I have 3.09.401.100 as well, flashed the firmware successfully, relocked, tried to run the appropirate RUU but got a signature error (132) while it tries to send the it to the phone. I have the appropriate CID HTC___102 for the RUU etc. My HBOOT is 1.23.0000 - could that be a problem with the RUU? Any insights?
Thanks in advance

That's what I got the first time I tried to run the RUU, before flashing the new firmware. You may need firmware with a higher HBOOT to use this JB RUU. Once I flashed the firmware above, the RUU in this thread worked fine. I'm having some flashing now but heck, I had that when my phone was stock when I first got it, heh. I remember that issue now!

Glad you sorted it out mate!
if you had just gone to stock to update... Then I will recommend you to use a custom sense rom if your attached to sense that much!
Use ViperX... It needs Hboot 1.31 at least..
Steps for flashing are the same as any other rom...
1. Wipe Data..Wipe Cache...Wipe Dalvic Cache... Or use Super Wipe Script(Recommended) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y31poo1kiaif4y/Super wipe script.zip
2. Flash rom. Flash Patch. (Check ViperX Thread)
3. Reboot.

You first have to update your firmware... Download this : http://goo.gl/M0hLq
and then run the ruu...
Hey there,
it sounds as if the HBOOT is in fact my problem. Quick question: How exactly did you flash the firmware, especially the HBOOT? I flashed the boot.img and recovery.img via command since I have no SD card access, but this doesn't seem to have changed the HBOOT.
Thanks again
Froschfinger
Relock the bootloader:
"fastboot oem lock"
Reboot RUU:
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Flash the firmware:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
You might get an error the first time you do it... try again until you get a successful message.
After successful flashing...
Go to fastboot again,,,
Now if you want to install a custom rom, you need to flash custom recovery by unlocking the bootloader... or if you want to go full stock then run the RUU...
Hey vin4yak,
that was the missing piece in the puzzle. Flashing the whole .zip file. Finally I got it working - thank you so much!!!!
All the best
Froscher

With S-ON you can't flash a radio as your nand partition security is still on even with an unlocked bootloader. Try flashing a ruu to get to normal state and then re try what you were trying to do. Besides, do not use the Hack Kit but the new version AAHK2 to be found in the general section of the forum.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
If you want to make it rooted, but s-on, flash clockworkmod recovery into your device by fastboot, then put your downloaded ROM.zip into main directory of sd card, and go to recovery do full wipe, dont forget to go advanced and wipe dalvik and battery status, then install from zip. Reboot after complete again into fastboot open cmd and dive to directory where you extracted boot.img from ROM.zip and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot reboot". If you need more help pm
I've software number 3.12.405.2 - btw. this number is very rare..
so I must flash RUU on the hboot?
maybe i must flash into the recovery? - what software i need?
How do I download ruu ?
Lol uncle google doesn't help or I don't know how to find it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okey, I fix it..
I turn on fastboot mode and aah 2 I flash radio for eeu - this fix radio.
Next I lounched normal aahk and all is ok.
I've s-off , custom recovery and custom rom.
Thanks Guys!

Problem with RUU

Hello! hopefully someone can help me I stand
I commented:
I have a Verizon One with hboot 1.54, yesterday I managed to unlock the bootloader and make S-off, then I take on the task of putting the HTC_304 cid (Spain) and try to load an official stock RUU rom but always gave me Error 158 , then switch to Super-CID but I continued to set the same mistake and then make the decision to install recovery and change to HBOOT 1.44, I download the latest methyl Revolution and by recovery, made ​​the installation complete without errors, but me no system load.
The bootloader and fastboot also enter without problem and recovery, but I can not enter recovery to sd, tells me that he can not mount and went back to try to load the rom by RUU but I always get the same error (158).
Hopefully someone can help me and do not know what else to do
Well, you need to use only Verizon firmwares for this device. You can't load an ruu from another device. It won't match up and therefore either not work or worse, brick your phone.

then to have put the Super-Cid and 1.44 hboot not give me the freedom to put a European rom?
to be so I have to go back to hboot 1.54 and install an official RUU from Verizon?
The only way I can think is metiante cmd roms charge with all-in-one, through the RUU, but I always get this error.

maybe try with the new hboot posted by rumrunner?
I believe it is ENG hboot
Once superCID you should be able to flash any RUU..
are you doing it using FastbootRUU??

HTC One M8 Canadian RUU

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem
You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it,
If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)
There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.
One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.
