[FIRMWARE] How to flash firmware for JB Roms - HTC One VX

This is for updating your firmware to be able to run JB roms. From my testing ICS firmware will not boot the JB Roms.
Download
Reboot device into bootloader
Issue command - fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then fastboot flash zip JB_Firmware.zip
It might error out. Do NOT reboot. This is normal. Just run the flash command again.
When flashing is done issue command fastboot reboot.
You will need to reflash whatever recovery you were using also.
Now you can flash whatever JB Rom you wish

You're freaking out man... The same thing happened to me.... When you manually rebooted to bootloader, did you use volume up and down and power button to select FASTBOOT? Then wait until it says FASTBOOT USB?? Then issue "fastboot flash recovery *.img"??? I bet you didn't! Now, slow down, breathe, and try again...

AND flash the JB Stock rom. Thats why you aren't booting

Thanks for the advice dude. I finally did it!!! Dang it. I was freaking out, i need this for my bussines.THANKS A LOT JMZ 4 EVERYTHING!!!
A few things I have noticed, the keyboard layout changed, the buttons r placed differently... The rom is smoother..faster..but when u sign in with google account, it does not download automaticly every app u had synced with ur acc. It did b4

Right now my phone is bricked!
I flashed the JB firmware update, then flashed the cmrecovery, then flashed the JmzTotemStockRootedOdex-JB from inside cmrecovery.
After the reboot I just get the HTC logo with red text then a black screen. just a black screen.
Phone is only rooted and unlocked.

Im still at a black screen after data wipe and factory reset.
Even the official HTC JB update cannot recognize my phone to recover it. It keeps saying signature failed.
To make matters worse I cannot even restore the backup I made before attempting this update because I keep getting MD5 mismatch.
So I am essentially looking at a brick.

To update to the latest jellybean firmware on the HTC One VX..... YOU NEED A COMPUTER
1. Make sure device is htcdev unlocked... If not go here htcdev.com
2. You have root.
3. Make sure you have SuperCID - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161402
4. Make sure you s-off your device with moonshine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396838 or FacePalm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161425
If you have all that now proceed to step 5
5. Download Jellbean Firmware -*http://www.androidfiles.org/getdownload.php?file=TotemC2/Firmware/JB_Firmware.zip
6. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADB AND FASTBOOT CAPABILITIES ON A PC AND KNOWLEDGE WITH THEM. And place jellbean Firmware.zip in the adb and fastboot folder.. and rename .zip to " jb.zip "
7. Reboot device into fast boot by powering down the device and holding volume-down and power
8. Once in fastboot and computer detects the device... And the device says "Fastboot Usb" in the bootloader.
9. Excute command via*cmd or terminal ( depending on OS you use )*
Code:
" fastboot oem rebootRUU "
10.* execute command
Code:
" fastboot flash zip jb.zip "
And then wait till it's done... Once done execute command
Code:
" fastboot reboot-bootloader "
Now you'll be on the latest firmware

[Q] H1x in bootloop can't access sdcard.

Ok guys, Bit of a problem here... I'm stuck in a boot loop after trying to flash the android revolution boot.img, now i've tried to restore to a backup, but it still sticks in the bootloop. I've tried to flash via fastboot with "fastboot flash update Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_4.0.0.LITE.zip" but im getting this error "c:\android2\platform-tools>fastboot flash update Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_4.0
.0.LITE.zip
sending 'update' (347972 KB)... OKAY
writing 'update'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Any help?
After flashing boot.img, it's always a good idea to fastboot erase cache, or go to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then you will have no problem booting.

Do you know how i can push a file to the sdcard to i can flash it? I cant flash it through adb.

Current clockworkmod recovery doesn't support USB mounting so you cannot push any file when you're in recovery.
What's your situation now? You can go to recovery right?
Revert back to your nandroid and flash also the corresponding boot.img. Then erase cache as I mentioned before.

Whenever I try to restore my backup i get stuck in the bootloop.
What about pushing files to the sd through adb?
I've tried adb shell mount /sdcard but its coming back with no devices found.
I've got all the drivers installed but still nothing
Pushing files to sdcard on the current recovery doesn't allow it from what I know. You could do: flash stock recovery, then lock, run RUU for your device. You can unlock again after that. Of course do those things as a last resort. Visit dev section first, a couple of thread there deals with this kind of issue.

Stock recovery fault after RUU upgrade

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so to me it is not allowed to reply to this thread:
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
I flashed boot.img, and recovery.img from the extracted rom.zip of the newest RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe) in order to get back to stock. -> wifi fault
After flashing i erease cache and relocked the oem.
I tried to test everything, before getting the device back to the seller.
And now here is the problem.
I'm not able to get into recovery from bootloader (because this is what the repair service is doing first). The recovery tool starts with a mobile sign and a green circle and turns to a mobile sign with a red exclamation mark and then the device reboots to system.
I tried to run RUU a second time and i tried to re-unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img and recovery.img a second time. I left the bootloader unlocked, but the fault is the same. I even tried to extract the recovery.img from rom.zip and flash again. Nothing works.
Anyone with the same problem? Anyone with an solution? (searched the forum, but does'nt find a situable thread)
Sorry for pushing...
I've found another thread with the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621124&highlight=cant+boot+recovery
Meanwhile i flashed a costum recovery. This works. I made a fullwipe and flash everything again and install the RUU again.
Same Problem.
I tried to downgrade the recovery to 1.29; .1.28; 1.26. But every stock recovery wont boot.
Still no idea?

Try applying the same version RUU before you unlocked. If you can get that working, then you can upgrade to the latest.

I actually used the latest RUU.
With RUU 2.17 cames hboot 1.12. Because of S-On I can't downgrade using a older RUU, as long downgrading hboot is not possible.
I think it is a problem of the hboot version, like it is checking wether the device is unlocked or a costum rom was flashed (so it is easy for the repair service to say there is no warranty).
Ironically a costum recovery works. and also its possible to flash costum roms.

OK. I downloaded the RUU 2.17 from another source. MD5 is the same. extracted the recovery.img and flash again. didn't work.
Installed the RUU again. nothing.
I tried a lot of recovery.img including this one from your link. I don't know why the stock recovery tools wont work.
Every costum recovery will work. but why?
I started testing to flashboot boot every recovery.img. now here is some interesting:
fastboot boot recovery_signed_1.28.img

Using costum recovery no problem. Using stock recovery will cause this error.
The partition should be OK, because the costum recovery works.

I don't know whats the issue.

I will send the device to repair center with a costum recovery. let's see what happens.
Or I'll just solder it.

You need (When 1x is connected to PC and "Fastboot USB" is displayed on 1x:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img has to be the correct filename of your recovery, and the file has to be in the same folder where fastboot.exe is.
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache
LG, Helmut
@Op, as I can see in your post your are still able to use fastboot usb.
Hopefully you still have the correct InsertCoin rom version.zip?
Attached the ADB Tools.zip, extract and place it somewhere you can find on your desktop (C:\Fastboot\ would be fine)
Extract 'InsertCoin rom version.zip' and take boot.img out.
Place the boot.img into C:\Fastboot\boot.img
Download clockworkmodrecovery.img from >> HERE and place it in that folder as well
In the folder I've placed a shortcut to CMD window, klick on it to open.
Now type the following:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img [Enter]
Fastboot flash recovery 'nameofrecovery.img' [Enter]
Fastboot erase cache [Enter]
Hopefully you are now able to come in CWM recovery, good luck!

oh alright. How can i unlock it? and will i lose my data?
Hmm. To have used custom firmware I'm sure you must have done this already.
Anyway. You need to sign up at HTC dev and follow the instructions there. They're quite detailed. After you've done that follow the previous instructions, they were really clear and will work with unlocked boot loader.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
--You don't lose data, but if there's anything super important on your external SD it's always best practice to backup.
(after you've installed CWM recvoery, do a backup using that. VERY important)
---forgot to mention: You need to pick "all other supported models" (The one x isn't listed, but it works fine).
OK Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. Ill post back if something goes wrong and again Thanks

It could be relocked after he flashed InsertCoin and the rom would still boot.
Only problem he has then is that he can't get into CWM recovery and that's what he's complaining about I think.

[Q] Phone wont boot and looking for last resort fix

Right here goes!
I've scoured the threads and I think I've tried everything so far to solve my problem, but still to no avail!
I woke up one morning and my phone was in hboot, wasn't plugged in, and was unresponsive. I tried charging but it wouldn't take it. I'm running stock JB 4.1 via OTA from Vodafone (UK). I had a new battery, and managed to replace the old one. I checked the old one and it had 2.8v output with the new one being 3.8V. I then ran that .bat file to loop the phone in a sort of charge mode to make sure I had sufficient charge. Phone still wouldn't boot. I then tried to do various things listed on this forum, but still have same symptoms. I just need the damn thing to work!
My current version is 3.14.161.27, an I managed to find this RUU. Download consisted of boot.img, rcdata.img and recovery.img
I'm in CMD....with the phone in unlocked mode connected via fastboot usb. Clear chache, run the boot.img and then I run hboot_1.36.0000_.img but error comes up saying cannot load 'hboot_1.36.0000_.img' : unknown error
If i re-lock the phone and do the same thing I get access not allowed in cmd.
what am I doing wrong here? any ideas? I can't find a .exe file for my original ROM either.
recovery doesn't work...just hangs on the HTC screen. factory reset doesn't work wither, same thing happens
I would be happy to try a custom ROM or anything that might get the phone booting again.
Please point me in a 'direction' or offer some help, I will be very grateful!

my hboot was already version 1.36 so didn't need to. Flashed recovery, and erased cache. CMD...saying successful. Then I unplug usb and go into recovery...but still it just hangs on the HTC screen.
I'm honestly suspecting a hardware fault now tbh.
Hmm this is odd ! Do this

Then flash this one

I've tried a few commands now and get the same error. I did flash the recovery 5.8.4.0 anyway but got an 'unknown error'. I have to stay I'm stumped now! I've been scratching my head for a while. I did all this wile the phone was in *UNLOCKED* mode too.
The recovery has to be without spaces. Change it to just recovery.img
The remote not allowed seems in place when the bootloader is locked

Flashed the recovery 5.8.4.0 and it seemed to take it fine...see PGN. However when I click recovery on my phone, it goes to the HTC screen again, and just hangs. It seems its just fed up of being a phone, wants to change its career path and become a paperweight
Also did a
Fastboot erase cache
Afterwards the flash ?

still nothing I'm afraid.
Hmm I'm pretty out of answers at this point. What if you start all over.....install the RUU to get back to stock, or flash the right firmware again. And then reflash the custom recovery

I've tried a few commands now and get the same error. I did flash the recovery 5.8.4.0 anyway but got an 'unknown error'. I have to stay I'm stumped now! I've been scratching my head for a while. I did all this wile the phone was in *UNLOCKED* mode too.

try to update stock karnel and stock karnel mods
Nope won't help.....I was on teamviewer tonight with a similar issue ....in no way we could acces the recovery while flashing went fine ! He had to run the batt script to charge the phone and then perform the ruu. I hope to hear good news from him tomorrow.....

Thank's for your time on this issue. I've tried every trick in the book and had to give up. I'm putting it down to some hardware issue. I have another phone on the way via insurance, but gutted I couldn't get my data back! learnt my lesson...back everything up regularly!
Thanks again

[Q] Rooting problem

If this has been answered elsewhere I'm sorry but I can't find the answer. I've unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One X. Flashed Clockwork Mod and I can get in to recovery. I then tried to install Cyanogenmod from the SD card and that ran and said it had completed. But, when I reboot it sticks on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and goes no further! Any ideas if there is anything I can do other than go back. If I need to go back, where do I get the RUU? I'm in the UK and it says Hboot 1.38 if that helps on the Fastboot screen.
Spent 3 evenings now trying to root this phone. Not easy
Flash the boot.img.

You need to flash the vendor installer from cm thread.

Also, try the classic 'fastboot erase cache'. Gl!

Thanks
When I've run the battery script to get some power back in later I'll try these and let you know how I get on. Thanks
Not working
Well none of the above suggestions worked! Can't mount the USB storage now to copy nandroid backup across, so I've relocked and am trying to get a RUU to try that!
Has anyone ever had these things sorted by a shop? Disappointed with myself for messing up but patience is running out now
Do you know what ruu to use ?
Fastboot getvar version-main
Is the command that will tell which ruu you need !
Otherwise try this :
Unlock the bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash this recovery
http://db.tt/iXT4t3NH rename it to recovery.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount as usb mass storage.

Going for the flash recovery method but struggling to get enough power in the battery... 3620mV so far so will leave the script running a little longer. Any idea how much juice I need?
Don't know exactly.....i should wait until you reach about 3800
Success

I'm in thanks. Should I put a nandroid back up I've downloaded on the SD card now and install that?
Thanks for the great help
Depends on what you want. If you want the CM10.1 i would copy the vendors file to the sdcard too !
Make a full wipe, install the CM10.1.zip, install gapps.zip and then the vendors file. Then flash the boot.img with fastboot and reboot

What do you mean by the vendors file?
I installed CM 10, flashed the boot.img and it's still hanging on the "quietly brilliant" screen!
You mean the CM10.1 right ? There is a vendors file that has to be installed after the rom otherwise it won't boot !
Edit.....opening post says it .....sorry
The vendors file is in the CM10.1 thread you need that too
