[Q] Install RUU from recovery or fastboot

Can't get my phone to boot into a rom, but it will boot into Recovery and I have S-OFF + Fasboot. Trying to flash on the 'RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed' so I can just send it back (think it has hardware failures).
Please could someone help me on how I can do this? Never used an RUU before
Thank you

To start with, boot your phone into fastboot (power & back key).
Connect to PC, phone should show 'fastboot usb'.
Turn off antivirus.
Run the RUU as administrator if not using XP.
let it do its stuff

Oh, thank you!
All the tutorials kept mentioning I needed to use HTC sync etc, glad it can be done via fastboot.
EDIT:
Yeah that all worked, phone is back to stock. Still doesn't boot into the ROM so I can assume it's a hardware issue now?

Yep but at least they'll deal with it as it's stock

thank you thank you thank you. This thread took forever for me to find, HTC sync hates me but this worked! and my warranty is up next week i needed to send my phone back.
Many thanks guys - xda is the bomb!

[Q] Nexus Help?

I was going ahead and about to flash my ROM (after doing so successfully at an earlier time), but after formatting everything, there was no sd card to format. I rebooted but now I'm stuck at bootscreen showing Google and the lock at the bottom. Can't get out of this. Anyone care to help?
Thanks.

I was able to get it into Fastboot mode but it isn't recognized by my computer....

His phone isn't coming up in Device Manager. Wouldn't that not allow the drivers to install properly?

Try installing PDAnet - it's the most reliable way to get the right drivers.

What exactly did you format? And from where? Do you have a custom recovery installed? Can't you get into that?

[Q] Help Please - Bricked One X

Another thread like this... I know. Sorry.
In an attempt to load the modified battery management file, I've managed to brick my One X. It just sits at the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen and that's as far as it gets.
I can boot into bootloader and then use fastboot, which in turn has allowed me to load the Clockwork Touch Recovery. I can reboot and load this recovery fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get it to boot back into the normal OS.
I cannot mount the phone on my laptop as that's not an option (that I'm aware of) in the One X recovery mode. Therefore I cannot copy across a new ROM to the SDCard and reload via 'Update.zip'.
Battery is healthy, everything was working prior to this failed attempt at being clever.
What other options are there to re-load a ROM and get the device working again?
Thanks in advance for your help
Rob

Thank you, very much. A question, where it says:
'After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.'
I've downloaded what I think is right and I have a .zip file, how can I get this onto the device to install it?

It is mentioned in the instructions. You will need to use adb.
Edit: I presume that you have fast boot and adb installed on your PC. If not you will need to do that for your device to be recognized

That's the trouble, I can't. Because there is no USB access in recovery, ADB doesn't work.
Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I just edited my reply. Do you have all the drivers installed on your PC?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

No adb.
Boot into fastboot on mobile and run the RUU from pc.
You need to have your bootloader locked before the RUU can run.
fastboot oem lock

Also did you try a factory reset in recovery and then tried to reboot into system

Thanks guys, sorry for the slow reply...
I do indeed have ADP/Fastboot on my computer still.
Where can I download the stock RUU? I can find a .zip version from this very forum, but how do I install that if I can't transfer it? I had assumed there would be a .exe version to run from my computer. Is there?
skywalker1970 - I did indeed try that, thanks.
Thanks again

Trouble connecting to computer via adb/fastboot!

I've done a lot of searching and tried the different suggestions people have mentioned on various sites but I STILL have trouble with "error: device not found" when I try to adb reboot bootloader from my computer. I was actually able to make a connection last night and then I'm not able to again today. I've installed/uninstalled and installed again both the drivers and HTC sync NUMEROUS times. It does show that my phone is being recognized on my computer, just don't know why it won't let me adb. Btw, relative noob here.
Thanks in advance for any help some kind soul might give to me.

You have the latest android SDK with packages installed ?
Or maybe some admin rights problems ?
Is there also a problem when you put the phone in fastboot mode and try various fastboot commands......or is it just adb commands ?
Not using any other extension cables ...only the one that came with the phone ?
Just thinking out loud here

Actually, not sure if I have the "lastest" android SDK...I installed it quite a while ago. Does that get updated?

Well i updated them some time ago....but never had any issues with that....so i'm guessing in the dark for a bit

Waiting for device no matter what

I have installed and reinstalled the usb drivers like 4 times with reboots in between. I was about to root, but after root i cant do anything. The main thing i want to do is flash a custom rom. I have the gnex tool kit, it says waiting for device (option 6), and the most recent drivers are from that toolkit. I tried command pront, Fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says waiting for device. I tried adb flash recovery recovery.img it says waiting for device. I tried 2 different cables and all my usb ports on my computer.
Im at a loss. I can still transfer files from my computer to my device. My computer detects it just none of these commands... god i wish i had an sd card slot... lol
Edit:
I also tried putting it inot fastboot mode by pressing the power and wolume up / down keys. It goes to the screen and says start. All commands still say waiting for device.
I feel like this is a driver issue but idk why.... i have tried all drivers...........
i have a samsung galaxy nexus l515 verizon cdma.
Thanks!

Unplug your phone from computer install the drivers from Samsung's website. (Google USB drivers for galaxy nexus i515) reboot computer and try again. Maybe u should install android SDK with adb and do it manually instead of using a toolkit. Those cause problems.

Ohhh the universal naked drivers. I never even thought of that. Actually i did. I have installed them same issue. I have fallowed the instructions in your first link prior to starting this thread. I appreciate the help but your attempt to call me lazy is wrong. Still unable to flash cwm or anything from the computer however i was able to flash cwrm touch today after buying the rom manager premium. Still doesnt explain why i cannot do it from my computer. Mind you i attempted this on my laptop (slackerware) and i did still have issues.
I think it is somthing with the port on my phone ror maybe somthing else. Regardless, im not lazy for i do know where google is and how to abuse all of her abilities. I know where the forum search button is also.
Drivers i have tried.
Naked nexus drivers
Windows native drivers
Slackerware mobile drivers
Samsung drivers
And what ever the gnex tool kit installs. No matter what i get waiting for device...

Are you confusing adb with fastboot, or was "adb flash recovery recovery.img" a typo? Anyway, forget the toolkit. Get adb/fastboot binaries from the 101 & FAQ, and try:
1) booted into Android: adb devices
This should list your device with a number. If the list is empty, adb cannot interface with your gnex.
2) booted into the bootloader: fastboot devices
This should also list your device with a number. If the list is empty, fastboot cannot interface with your gnex.
Note that the adb and the fastboot interface are different. If you installed drivers and got adb running, this does not automatically make fastboot working. Boot into fastboot, connect and use device manager to scout for unknown devices. Update using naked driver if necessary.

you are lazy. you're relying on a toolkit.
please root your phone the manual way, or at least try fastboot alone so we actually know what the problem is.

Thanks yeah that was a typo. I have the adroid bianarys. Adb and fastboot. I was typing. Fastboot reboot bootloader to try and get gnex tools to see the device. No luck.

I rooted manually no problems. Problems arose post root. This can be marked as solved for buying the app fixed my issue. With recovery i can flash roms on the device. No need for a computer anymore. Thanks to those who didnt attack me and make me cry. To those who did well... thanks anyways....

If you know how to root manually, then surely you must know how to boot or flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm with fastboot.

Again, driver issue. 'fastboot devices' should return your devices serial number. that command is the tell-tell sign that communication between fastboot host (PC/Mac) and client (device) see and recognise each other.
And please try to be flawless on the transcription of the exact commands used, to exclude the possibility of typos.

Then it maybe not be a driver problem: you need to update platform-tools through android-sdk, which has fastboot/adb binaries. 4.2.2 requires it.
