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.

One X Bricked?

Hey guys,
I might be wrong here but this is my last hope.
Rooted my One X yesterday, tried to install a .zip so that annoying menu bar would go away.
Didn't word out well, got in a 'bootloop', decided to install the stock RUU, but im getting this ERROR 120 30% massage.. i already tried different stuff but nothing seems to work.
Then things got worse, decided to let it charge for a while, but now i can't even get in recovery mode, it redirects it to fastboot.
Thnx in advance
You will need to relock the bootloader to flash the stock ROM
From fastboot do "fastboot oem lock" then try again. Try flashing from Fastboot and if that doesn't work try bootloader.
Alternatively, flash custom recovery and try flashing over original versions of the whatever files you replaced with your modification.

Corrupt RUU?, try downloading it again...
Are you sure you downloaded the correct RUU for the region of your device?

If you are certain your ruu is for your region and not corrupted then from http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...o-get-error-120-battery-less-than-30-a-2.html
Try this
Running Windows 7:
Make sure battery is over 30% (but that's why we're here, isn't it? It IS over 30%) Turn phone off Take battery out for a minute, then replace the battery DO NOT turn phone back on Plug into USB Hold VOL DOWN button and press the power button for 5 Seconds but don't let go of VOL button Make sure the choice FASTBOOT is highlighted and press the power button to select it You should see FASTBOOTUSB up top Stay on this screen while you go to your computer Exit HTC Sync if it's running, wait a minute, then open HTC Sync again, see if it connects (Mine didn't connect to sync, but I left the window open in the bkgrd) Open the updater and go through the steps. Update should begin without error message.
Hope this works for you guys. I tired countless ways to do it before breaking down and calling in. This way worked the first time for me.

If you relocked you also need to flash boot.img in fastboot from the stock rom you want to use.
Extract the ruu.exe and take the boot.img out, flash it using the adb tools and fastboot.

To extract contents from an RUU, do this.
Run the desired RUU
Go to search and type in '%temp%' (without the quotes)
A folder named 'temp' will appear, open that, and search in it for 'rom.zip'
Open the zip, and extract what u jeed from there.
And hit thanks!

@TheNetherTukkers, extract the boot_signed.img as theDroidfanatic beautiful explains.
Attached I have the adbtools, extract and put the folder on your desktop's c:\ together with boot_signed.img
So you have c:\adbtools\
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
boot_signed.img
Now put your device in fastboot mode and connect to your pc.
In start\search on your pc type 'cmd' without the quotes and hit enter.
In the command window that pops up browse to c:\adbtools and type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img [hit enter]
fastboot erase cache [hit enter]
After this you go into fastboot again and flash the ruu.
got this,
c:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

Hmmm, that's strange.
You have a branded HTC One X?
And which rom are you trying to flash?
Try >> THIS link, it's the 1.29.401.11 version, credits to Football for the RUU.

I dont think its branded.. i mean i got it from Vodafone (holland) but i dont see a special RUU for that anywhere so i figured i had the genereal european version.
You must be sure about that because there do exist Vodafone updates.
Have a look HERE at the bottum, Vodafone roms for several countries. No Dutch dho.
Did you buy the phone straight from Vodafone or did you use a retailer?
Maybe you could check with them?

Please help - stuck on HTC logo screen

Hey guys
Can you help me out please.
I have HTC Desire HD
It has clockworkmod recovery installed
when i put the phone in bootloader mode, it is
****UNLOCKED****
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen
I have flashed a custom ROM
and then tried to flash BOOT.IMG via ADB
when I type adb devices, I get a blank return message.
I believe the issue is that I need to flash boot.img to get the ROM working
I can't boot into the OS and flash the RUU to get it back to stock either
I just need a working phone, not bothered whether it is a custom ROM or stock
Any advise is greatly appreciated

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.

Tried to flash stock rom, cannot. Go to recovery, goes back to bootloop. Factory Reset, goes back to bootloop. Is there anyone to revive this phone?
Can u flash stock roms that's in one file .exe (RUU i think)? Boot into Hboot, plug usb cable and run the rom installer
That's what I did. It could not complete the update.

This is the rom that I used...
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.

1. used fastboot using CMD to flash CWM to recovery. Error: signature verify fail.
2. Tried RUU.exe to flash. Simply says the update could not be completed.
Is there any thing I could do with Hboot or Fastboot that could revive the phone? I think I tried almost all methods... unless there is other ways that I have not tried...

1. I'm on s-on. Does it matters?
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.
4. Yes i did. It gave me FAILED status. Error: Signature verify error.
I will try to snapshot whatever process I did to make my explanation clearer later part of the day.

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):

can't flash recovery

As the title says I can't seem to flash twrp.img to my m9
