[Q] Unable to load ROM

Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help, have bricked my Australian Optus stock One X. I have tried to follow all threads related to loading stock or custom roms from fastboot and am unable to. I still have CWM recovery 5.8.2.7 touch installed.
I had previously rooted it and installed Android Revolution HD 5.1.0 and seemed to be fine but was unstable and would crash and reboot in certain apps. In trying to revert back to stock I stupidly formatted the SD card, DUMB ASS!
I have downloaded stock rom 1.29.401.7-DUO, all-in-one rootkit, and the ARHD ROM and have tried to either:
1) flash ARHD with bootloader still unlocked, doesn't work
2) follow reflashing stock process ie flash stock recovery, relock bootloader, then flash stock ROM, and am getting stuck on just reflashing the stock recovery. When I try to open stock recovery it takes me to a black screen with a red ! in a triangle, this is with the bootloader relocked.
If anyone is able to help an enthusiast noob like me I'd be very appreciative and would also be more than willing to donate for the trouble.

MAKE SURE you have exactly the right RUU for your phone, whatever the rom was on you were using, ie, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29, you need the same version of RUU, i discovered the problem trying to flash RUUs and after 2 days finally got the correct one, thats when i realised, unlike on other phones, you cant downgrade the One X and when recovering it seems to prefer the one that matches what you were using.
Also make sure youre cid is supported in that RUU, ie, HTC 001, TMOB 054, etc etc, mine can only accept 401 roms, so they must match exactly, until we can get S-Off this problem will remain, dont worry about recovery, so the guide on in case of disaster, you cant go wrong with it, relock your bootloader and get your RUU installed, from their update it to your latest ics version and then if you must reflash your cwm and root it.

Thanks for the info, graemeg. After downloading an RUU that was .exe file, I felt I was getting closer, as it was an AU Optus RUU. But it turns out that my current version is 1.28.980.10 and the RUU version was 1.26.980.3 and so yes I met with the non-downgrading issue.
It seems that there is not currently a stock 1.28.980.10 RUU at the moment, so might be using this as an ornament for much longer than I would have hoped/thought. Bummer.

You can get 1.28.980.10 from htcdev downloads. I would link but I'm a new user, just filter by One X, Optus, and it's there.

Thanks again for the help. I have seen those files on htcdev website, but don't know how to use them
I don't know how to load a RUU that is not a .exe file...if anyone is able to assist, again, I would really appreciate it and will donate once up and running again.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I have tried to follow the thread that explains how to load/flash recovery and boot images via fastboot in command prompt, and have not been able to. So I don't think I'm a complete dumb ass, but do need someone with the knowledge and patience to guide me through it. Please!

First thing first, do you have the right RUU with you ?
If not, maybe this is the one for you : http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed.exe
second: do you have fastboot directory set up on your pc ? and htc usb driver too ?

Just starting the download now, I think that could be the RUU I've been looking for. Yes I have the drivers and fastboot directory. Will give this RUU a go and let you know, thanks for the quick reply, ckpv5!

Most important before you run the RUU, you need to:
1) have a stock recovery flashed to you your device first (I believe you already have one)
2) relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
3) run RUU, it should work.

THANK YOU!
ckpv5, thank you for the link to the updated RUU. Phone is functioning again, stock. Donation coming your way. Thanks for all your help. agentorange82.

error 130: Bootloader Error

Hi all,
I'm new with the HTC (S-On).
I want to unlock the phone, but get the wrong version of the ROM.
So, here is what I already done:
1. Install the ROM RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe. And when I search the RUU to unlock it, I get the version 401.3.
2. Since I just see the 401.3, I installed this ROM RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe.
3. Well, it's totally wrong, because the last RUU on the HTC Dev is 2.13.401.3. So I install the correct one RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe, but I get the error.
:crying:
Error 130: (I forget the error, it said about bootloader error).
Please help.
Thankyou

that's the error. I need to downgrade it. Found a solution here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867), but it also failed.
I want to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540952&highlight=downgrade, but it says I need to flash the CWM first. How I supposed to be able flash it when my phone still on locked state?

Stuck on starting screen... (bricked?)

Hey guys,
fairly new to this all and it seems I have messed up at some point...
I managed to root my phone and i do have TWRP on it and wanted to install a rom (blade elite 1.1). went into bootloader and flashed the boot.img with the tool, then went into recovery, cleared all the caches/factory reset/system and flashed the rom which i had previously copied onto my sd card. then i pressed reboot. It didnt start up for a few minutes so i kind of panicked and went into recovery again. I had made a backup previously, which I then restored. But it's still stuck on the screen where it sais htc one on the white screen with the beats audio thing on the bottom... Waited for around 20 mins. I can still get into recovery, so I'm hoping not all hope is lost.
What do I do now? :/ Do I have to flash the stock kernel or something first before I can restore with twrp?
Please help :/ I kinda really need my phone...
Oh yeah I forgot one thing. The tool said "error: device not found" in the first cmd window when I flashed the kerel, but when I clicked it away a second one popped up and it said it flashed correctly. It did the same thing when I flashed twrp and thats definitely on my phone, so Im guessing it has flashed the kernel correctly. Just thought I'd mention that.
fastboot getvar version-main
gave me:
2.17.401.2

aaaalright.
I installed fastboot, found the correct ruu for my device, relocked the bootloader and installed the ruu and my phone is now up and running again! and i feel like a genius :S
however! something went wrong and I would like to know where my mistake was. i still want that custom rom!
since i installed the ruu, that means everything is gone again right? no unlocked bootloader, no root, no twrp? so ill just use the tool again to get that back?
quick question for that. will i need a new token id and register again, or can i use the old one?
its 5:30am here and i'll need to get some sleep now... maybe i can get it tomorrow. still appreciating any help !

Your hboot is to low, you need to update. Since you used the ruu, go into settings - about menu and update the phone with the software update utility.
You are still on ICS and need to update to JB.

You can also update your Hboot yourself by check your cid number using this app

Finding the Hboot to match your cid number here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
And upgrade your Hboot manually or by using a tool like this one here (you'll need to put the correct Hboot in the relevent folder of the app first!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
Read through the full guide and comments first before proceeding!
Hope this helps.

Easiest is to update with the official ota now as he already installed the ruu
And yes you can use the old unlock code again

You can use the original Token they sent you. No need to go through the whole HTCDev process again :good:

You guuuuuys, it worked !!
Thanks a bunch! Was totally easy with the ota update too, very smart!

Good ! Enjoy

[Q] How do I go back to COMPLETE stock?

Beforehand I had an iPhone 5 and it was so easy, just click restore and ta-da. I'm just so stuck right now. I tried installing a Google Play edition rom that has been ported to the Verizon model. However when I installed it would just keep saying com.android.phone has stopped over and over and over again. So I read a tutorial on how to go back to stock, but the download link for the RUU was down. So I used another RUU online that didn't have the same MD5. I used it anyway and it successfully got me back to Sense. But I think it isn't complete stock because there is 8 GB taken up by 'other' when people are saying it's usually 6 GB or below. Also, when I try installing Rumrunner it does its thing and says it's completed. But, the bootloader still says locked. I have S-Off on the phone because I didn't completely follow the instructions by disabling S-OFF. I tried putting in the fastboot command to unlock bootloader becuase I have S-OFF, but it says I don't have permission. I also have installed the drivers without HTC sync. Someway to get back to complete out of the box stock or just getting an unlocked bootloader would be so awesome. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you not backup your stock ROM? If not that was not a good idea. If you have a custom recovery still installed (how you installed the gpe ROM) flash another ROM or restore your backup.

Typically flashing a stock rom should revert you back to S-ON and lock the bootloader.

what i would suggest is to flash back the RUU, and then use the recovery instead of flashing another rom.
i had issues before with just flashing the RUU and expecting it to work like stock, but once i recovered the phone using the RUU's recovery (stock recovery), everything was honky dory.

If you tell the firmware version which you flashed, it is easy to tell the way to stock. s-off is not a problem, if you can spend 25$. if your expectation is only go to a updated stock, it is not necessary to s-off. If your bootloader is not unlocked, twrp can't be installed. If your firmware is up to date, it is okay to make bootloader unlocked.

What you are asking for sounds kinda sketchy. If someone were to backup and share their mmcblk0 partition with you, you would have everything written to their internal storage in there.
I might be wrong with this, but I don't think I am.

Ikr but I'm not after the personal files. My M8 died and recognized as usb qdloader 9008. No fastboot, no recovery, black screen no signs of life. I need the dumped mmcblk and try to kickstart hboot via SD or linux so I can flash its RUU. And if it'll be a success I will post the procedure how i revived it that can serve as a reference for others who may encounter same problem.
if its with privacy issue then i dont mind a dump of a fresh factory reset phone.
