[Q] How to unbrick HTC One with ruu - HTC One X

Hi, this is my first post, and I have a problem with bricked HOX.
I tried to put custom ROM, ViperX, with CWM (previously I unlocked bootloader and flashed with custom CWM recovery.img). After installation, I flashed with boot.img, but I couldn't boot. Now I have bricked, unlocked, HOX. I tried to unbrick with ruu, but ruu warned that my bootloader version is not good for ruu.
So how can I unbrick my HOX, is there ruu version for my HOX (and is there any way to unbrick it at all?)?
My HOX's specs:
CID: HTC__032
version-main: 3.20.401.3
HBOOT-1.39.0000
RADIO-5.1204.162A.29
Please help, and sorry for my bad English. I hope you understood

I think its not bricked.
Do this :
Flash the Viper X boot.img :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and do this :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Then install the viper X rom.zip and reboot

I did, many times, but nothing worked -- after every reboot HOX stayed in boot loop and only thing I could was boot into bootloader mode and recovery.

Then you must have missed a step somewhere .....

Because your nandroid is setup to work on a Stock Hboot is the reason it's not working. The system partition space is not enough for your nandbackup file.
did you wipe cache via fastboot after rebooting of bootloader?
fastboot erase cache
you need to wipe/format all partitions including dalvik except sdcard
then flash it again...
Nandroid back up will be not working because you changed system partition size as backup from stock hboot is way too big to fit onto cm7/r2 system partition

thank you for your quick answers
You have to type this command in CMD. For installing / using Fastboot / ADB, check my guide.

trust me i did look your guide but i founded too much....
i was looking for easyest method to upgreat the hboot but now i will read your guide again ....i guess i have no choice
Easiest to flash things radio, recovery, bootloader or splash screen is IMHO Android Flasher:

EDIT: You use CM7r2-version of Runnymede, do you?
ok i did it more carefully and i flash the rom after upgrate ... so it booted ....
i just got scared i thought i broke it
thank you all

[Q] "failed installation" of ARHD 18.1

Hello,
Id appreciate any help with my problem:
After wishing to upgrade to JB from ARHD 9 (ICS), I flashed the correct Hboot and upgraded CWM to 5.8.4.0. However, when trying to flash the ARHD ROM, im getting a "failed installation" message after selecting the zip on the SD card. I thought it might be the boot.img i was using (from the download section), so used the one from the ROM zip instead. No luck. I erase the cache etc very time I can.
Any ideas to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance
so you have a hboot 1.3* and you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then entered recovery and did a FULL wipe (also dalvik cache under the advanced tab)
then trying to install the rom.zip ?
install failed, redownload the rom, might be corrupted !

Employed status 7 error

Hey,
I have now but a bigger problem with my HTC OneX .
It was rooted ( after which instructions unfortunately I do not remember ) .
We played on a Rome and it was wonderful . These Rome did not please me more especially the next day , so I got myself another .
And then the problems started :
I constantly got a status 7 error and it could be no more flash Rome. After a few hours I got the tip to use a different CWM version and then try again .
That actually worked ... at least with the CM11 .
Today I went again to work in the belief that it has actually located only at the CMW version . Meanwhile, I 've tried 4 different Rome ... I just keep getting the status 7 error .
I 've tried other versions of CMW , I have also tried TWRP ... always the same. The only Rome that I can flash is CM11 ... and then only with CMW 6.0.4.5 .
In all Rome I did the wipe and flashed the appropriate boot.img via fastboot .
Can someone maybe tell me what I 'm doing wrong ?

Hey,
tanks for answer.
This is a zip File...flash via CMW or extract and flash the recovery.img with fastboot?
Edit:
Hey,
it is bewitched.
I have now tried to flash via CWM where I immediately get an error (Status7).
So I flashed the recovery.img via fastboot, started the boot loader again and am in recovery. I still have CWM 6.0.4.5 on it ...
I also did fastboot erase cache
Then you flashed wrong. Rename this recovery to just recovery.img

And flash it via command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Oke, this is a ruu that flashes the phone back to factory stock. So all stuff will be gone so backup what you want/need
Make sure the bootloader is relocked :
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu.exe with admin rights on the pc !
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
When the ruu is done you check inside the settings menu manually for software updates and apply all updates you can get. The last one is android 4.2.2 sense 5.
right ive tried the above locked boot loader and run ruu it geets as far as signature update then get error 132 signarure error and under says please get the correct rom update and try againand now phone stuck in boot loader cant boot down to allow charge so what next thanks
Oke run this one instead
http://www.persianhtc.net/index.php...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Ok will do will get back to you after thanks for the help at least i learning as i go lol

I installed that file link you gave was thinking of cm11 or viperx have downloaded viperX_4.0.7 and pulled out the boot image so at moment have a folder on desktop with zip viperx_4.0.7 and the boot image beside it
then found these instructions
1 Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
2 Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
3 Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
4 Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
5 Do a nandroid backup!
6 Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
7 Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
8 Go into recovery and install the ROM.
9 Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
10 Reboot the device and enjoy!
1 my hboot is 1.72.0000

1: OKE
2: Not important (skip this)
3: Make sure you flash this recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
rename it to recovery.img and flash it :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
4: i write this at a later point
5: Enter the recovery and tap the "Backup & restore"menu and make a backup (let it run and when finished you go to my new steps)
NEW STEPS :
1: tap the mounts & storage menu - mount USB storage (then wait until it pops up on the pc, can take minutes so give it time)
2: copy the rom.zip to the sdcard
3: tap power options - reboot to bootloader
4: flash the boot.img from the viper x rom.zip :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
