Thankyou anyone for helping me.
I was trying to update my phone to the Maximus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601543) from an AOKP JB ROM.
I succesfully followed the instructions to relock my phone, the flash the firmware, then unlock it again. Unfortunately I was foolish and didn't think to copy across the rom.zip before doing this. I tried restoring a Nandroid backup but was stuck in a bootloop. I also tried reflashing the previous AOKP Rom that I had on there. In this case it booted but I had no radio, no wifi, and importantly I couldn't mount over USB to copy across the new ROM. I'm guessing neither method works because of the new HBOOT?
I went to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 and it's clear that I have to flash an RUU through fastboot to get back to a working state. Unfortunately All the RUU links for JB Roms as listed on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 seem to be dead so I can't download them. Similarly the links to older RUUs found here http://www.filefactory.com/f/e3e8b30e62a4a8aa/ all require a premium account because they are over the 500MB limit.
Can anyone tell me where I can please get an RUU to restore my phone to working order, or if there's another method available? Thankyou very much for your help.

Thankyou for the suggestion, but the problem with that method is that once again the ROM I want to flash has to be moved over to the virtal SD card of my phone. Since the ROM on it is currently not working I can't copy anything across to the SD card through the usual means. Is there a way I can copy it across using fastboot, as that is still working fine? I had a look at the fastboot help and there didn't seem to be any way. What I need is a ROM that can be flashed over fastboot, which I understand can be done with the stock RUUs?
I'm not panicking, I know that I will be able to get it back up and running, I just need a bit of help to get there.
Boot into bootloader and from there to recovery , mounts and storage - mount as USB ....and you have a working sd card to copy the rom.zip file to
Copy the rom.zip to the card and copy the boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Flash the boot.img and flash the rom from recovery ..... Are u using cwm recovery 5.8.4.0

Thankyou so much for that suggestion. That would really help. I'm sorry, I don't know what I did, but now if I try to go into recovery the recovery flashes breifly on screen and then it resets. I tried reflashing it, using the All In One toolkit and using Fastboot.exe. I also tried flashing both the CWM recovery and the TWRP recovery, neither of them worked.
Thankyou for your help again, I'm sorry but recovery was working before, I think all I did was flash a boot.img but could that break recovery? I even tried going through the whole relock, flash firmware.zip, unlock, flash recovery procedure to see if that would work but it didn't.
Do a fastboot command
Put the phone in bootloader / fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Check if you can enter recovery after that

Thankyou! That fixed the recovery issue. Once I could get into recovery I could copy across the ROM, flash it, flash boot.img (not that that was a problem) and my phone is now in woring order again.
Once again, many many thanks.
Glad you got it sorted !

Hello,
I bought my HTC One X for playing full screen games. For this reason, the three dot
menu thing was extremely annoying. After a quick google search, I found a solution.
Everything I did I took extreme care with, rereading all instructions before doing anything as I bricked my Galaxy S Plus before and I didn't want a repeat.
First I tried to unlock the bootloader, which was a success! I then tried to flash clockwork recovery which was successful also. Then, I flashed superuser and I was rooted!
The final step, was to flash a zip I downloaded from this forum. So I turned it on, and it goes up to the bit that says HTC ONE Beats Audio, then stops, for good.
I have no idea what to do next, I tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 but it is beyond my capabilities to understand it.
Please help me, I am only sisxteen and had to save for two years to buy this phone!
Extra information:
Three dot fix from http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/
Using interim touch recovery (CWM)
Software version before crash was 1.28
Sorry for being a noob but my mental well being depends on seeing the HTC Clock greet me once again!
It get stuck because you're using a deodex android.policy.jar in an odex stock ROM as it won't work.
Do you have any nandroid backup or any ROM.zip on your sdcard ? If yes, you can go to recovery and restore or flash the ROM.zip.
If you don't have any of them, you need to flash the official RUU for your phone but you need to flash the stock boot.img, stock recovery.img, relock the bootloader and flash RUU.

I don't have anything I don't think. I tried to download an RUU from http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/ but it is saying my download slots are used up?

Calm down.
you can always put your original RUU on.

You also can try this ODEXED_Stock_menubarmod_revert2stock_1.28.zip Here, if it works it will save the hassle to download the RUU and revert to stock.
What you need to do is:
1) Download the ODEXED_Stock_menubarmod_revert2stock_1.28.zip and copy it to your android sdk/tools (or whatever directory your android sdk is)
2) I believe you still have the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img in your android sdk/tools
3) in bootloader, open CMD type: fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
4) once you're in recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount the sdcard (I normally mount all cache, data, system and sdcard)
5) in CMD:
adb push ODEXED_Stock_menubarmod_revert2stock_1.28.zip /sdcard
The file will be copied to your sdcard.
6) choose install zip from sdcard and flash the ODEXED_Stock_menubarmod_revert2stock_1.28.zip
7) choose advance, wipe dalvik cache and reboot and see whether it will work.
EDIT: If the "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14" is the right one for your phone, you can download it here

don't think the OP wants the complicated solution
Just let him boot the phone into fastboot, connect it to the computer and run the RUU from the computer.
This means if there is already a 1.28 RUU xxxxxxx which I haven't checked out

Yep... that's why I edited my post and give the link for the 1.28 RUU, just hope he mention the right RUU as I give him the link as what he requested.
I'm going to give the complicated solution a go because I would rather try and keep some of my files than delete everything. I tried to do the fastboot boot but it failed, so I tried fastboot flash recovery and I was successful. Will this still work?

Flashing official RUU will not delete everything on sdcard... I did it many times.
fastboot flash recovery will not work for that complicated way. Make sure you type it correctly:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
not fastboot boot recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
From what point in the bootloader do I run fastboot boot?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery
-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
downloading 'boot.img'...

Hello,
i got this weird problem when i tried to install clockworkmod from here: knowyourmobile(dot)com/smartphones/htc/onex/onexuserguides/1419609/how_to_root_your_htc_one_x.html
My bootloader is unlocked.I downloaded the file end ran the script.When everything finished my phone got stuck in the boot screen.I tried to erase chase or install stock kernel and recovery (using all ine one tool from this site)but nothing solved it.The only thing that i havent tried yet is to flash a boot.img because i cant find one (i got the phone from europe(paris) and i have the jelly bean update and i cant find the stock boot.img).Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!
If you flash a rom you can find the boot.img inside the rom.zip file ! Flash the boot.img with fastboot commands and do a wipe in recovery and install the rom.zip file from sd card !
And its not a weird boot problem, it's a common user mistake that is done by many....many people
Ow and a kernel = boot.img
Thanks for the reply,Is there another way?Because i dont want to use a custom ROM.I just rooted it in order to install some apps that require root.I said its weird because i flashed the kernel and the problem stays
Do you have a custom recovery at the moment ? And did u do a nandroid backup of the stock rom ?
I think it's weird that you first say that you flashed the kernel and then you say you can't find the boot.img.......
Well i didnt know that kernel=boot.img and i dont know if the all ine one xda program puts the right program for jb.I didnt backup anything,I have clockworkmod recovery
Do you know fastboot and the commands ?
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post these results here !
I will try it.THis doesnt format anything,right>?
Nope....
You have to enter the recovery from the bootloader - choose hboot and then recovery....if it enters check which version you have (cwm 5.8.4.0 ?)
From there you can go to mounts & storage and then choose at the bottom mount as USB drive
Then you can at least copy everything from the sd to a safe place. I think that the internal data is going to be lost ! Like messages and apps .... Everything that is stored in the cloud is safe anyway
cid:htc__203 OKAY
version-main:3.14.401.27
You can get the ruu with the same number on www.htcruu.com and put the phone in bootloader/fastboot USB
Relock the bootloader with
Fastboot oem lock
And run the ruu.exe with admin rights ...it will put the phone back to 100% stock
This is the one you need
http://www.htcruu.com/download.php?...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
Nice!Now to reunlock the bootloader i will do the same things i did the first time or there is a command for that?
Yes if you still have the unlock token.bin file you can unlock the bootloader with a fastboot command, the correct command slipped my mind at the moment !
Otherwise you can to the htcdev site again and unlock it there
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Sent from my One V
hey, so my device where stuck on pull the ring thng
so i thought it's a softwere prob, i upgrade my hboot to 1.31 so i could install the JB
i found there is no RUU fore my HTC_J15 !!
and i can't go back to ICS .. i unlock the boot so i can try some roms
same prob, any slu?
Why can't you go back to ICS or install a custom Sense ROM?
flash the boot.img and the ROM. Easy.
I have an idea to get you back to stock, from there you can update official. Its not the ruu method. I will explain later
I need your main version and cid number
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post these results
Pyschic prediction:
2.17.401
HTC__J15
If that is so, you need to fine the matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup collection thread in the general section
Restore it and flash back the stock recovery .... After this you can update official when the update is available. Then you are on a complete stock rom :thumbup:
CID: HTC_J15
Versoin mine: 3..14.401.619
it should be 415 right ? :0
i can't wait for the official RUU ! plz it's not my device i was acting smart and it's turn that i'm the dumbest ever
Well you can not use the European 3.14.401 ruu because that CID has been pulled off from the RUU but i don't know why !
and there is no matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup thread in the general section. I already looked there.
I think you have a serious problem here ...
But......when you installed a different rom, did you make sure you wiped everything that you could wipe in the recovery (cache,dalvik cache, system,data) ?
It seems to me that you didn't do a full wipe, or you didn't flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot usb mode ?
Download this file
http://db.tt/eLoVUcRc
Copy it to the phones sdcard, first you flash the boot.img in fastboot usb mode then you enter the recovery and do a factory reset, then you flash the file i gave you (just like a rom, it will wipe all) then you flash the rom !
Should be oke after that !
i did a cache wipe from the fastboot command .. i can't get into recovery it show a red triangle i try to re-lock and unlock it again root and install the clockmode and still with this prob .. so i try to flash a lot of boot.img file from some rom but nothing happen
it was working fine with full access to recovery mod till i flash a boot.img so i can install a room, there my problem start
i think there is no solution for my stupid mistake but if there any i'll be like, thank uuuuu
Well check all this .... Bootloader unlocked, if not unlock it and flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Download this one and rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you flash the boot.img of the rom you downloaded (its inside the rom.zip)
Copy the boot.img file also to the fastboot folder and flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you enter the recovery and do a full wipe including wiping the dalvik cache under the tab ADVANCED !
Then you install the rom.zip
okay i'll try this tomorrow, again step by step so i make sure i didn't miss anything
thank u .. i really want to try it know but it's 2a.m and i have a morning work
thank u again .. i'll update u with wut happen with me .
Good ! And charge the battery to a 100% before you start ! Can save you alot of trouble !
hey .. okay i start from da beging and so far every thing is good, i can access to the clockworkmod
now that i can't get inside the phone how can i flash the room ? it's the only step i miss

You can flash the rom by pressing flash zip from sdcard (or something similar, can't recall at the moment) and select the rom.zip
And you can copy the rom.zip to the phones sdcard by mounting it as usb disk under the tab mounts & storage
hey, ya now the device finally work .. thanks god, and thank u
but the same problem, three soft button not working !
i did the hole thing 5 days trying for nothing ? damn it :crying:
so it's a hardware problem right ?
I guess that's a hardware failure yes, of it happens on every rom

So, I tried to get the latest Cyanogenmod on my phone.
Resulted in the the process com.android.phone has stopped issue.
FInally managed to get around that but no my phone is stuck with no CWM, no USB Windows fileshare and a HTC bootscreen.
I have searched, and read a lot of posts and the closes thing to recovery is a post on putting on a Nandroid backup for my Y13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140)
But, since I have no USB fileshare I am unable to get it on the phone and start the process.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I need to completely wipe and reinstall everything but has no access other that fastboot USB.
What info should I post and how do I find it if more is needed.

So, I have downloaded Philz, I think I have flashed the recovery.img file over to the phone from CMD shell window.
I have rebooted my phone to fastboot menu and selectet recovery.
The result is still the same. Just the htc boot screen.
I`m sure I`m doing something wrong but cant figure out how. Philz How to uses USB / PC file transfer so I`m unable to use it as a step by step.
Would really appreciate a step by step command overview. If possible with an explanation so that I learn why I do the different commands. Then I wont be so f.. ignorant about these things anymore. Hopefully

Hey,
I have a little problem here.
My daughter wanted to have on your OneX a new Rome. So we sucked it, pushed to the memory and flashed the boot.img with fastboot. Thereafter, in TWRP pure, wipe and then I wanted to flash the Rom. But faild me appears.
What do I do now?
I have another Rome drawn around the cell phone to get back to running, but I find this not on the phone. I had to copy the with fastboot on the phone ....
So how can I access this file?
Edit:
I wrote nonsense as I have only just noticed.
Now I know why all of a sudden has been TWRP away when I copied the ROM with fastboot
Well, now how do I get a Rome on the phone up? Mount USB is not somehow
You can't copy a rom to the phone via fastboot. Only via adb. But flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a drive in the mounts and storage menu !
Copy a rom, flash the boot.img from the rom and perform a FULL wipe in recovery and insta the rom !
Give the outcome here please of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Hey,
got it now manage it.
The problem was TWRP. There I could no USB mounting.
Now I have the latest CWM and there was everything.
Thank you
Okey, thanks for letting me know !
CASE CLOSED !
