the usual installing driver for usb device popped up.
and i ran some fastboot commabds previously
Edit: Fastboot devices isn't detecting anythign now
I tried re-unlocking but when i go to use fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin it gets stuck on waiting for devices.
I tried instaling htc sync and copying the drivers in the win 8 64x section.

Get it on at a win 7 machine.....might be the fastest solution

[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)

Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your device from androidfiles.org. Make sure you download a Primo_C RUU for a CDMA device (no sim card) or a Primo_U RUU for a GSM device (uses a sim card)!! Also make sure you get the correct RUU for your carrier.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
Hi
Thanks for that perfect decsription exactly when I needed it
I just had a weired effect with my new windows 7 laptop that I want to share.
I installed the USB drivers and "fastboot devices" showed my HTC fine
but even flashing the stock recovery image was not working.
So it was stucking in the "Sending" part and never continued.
I then moved to my old laptop with Vista did exactly the same things
and there it worked without problems.
I disabled virus scanner, checked for htsync and used the original USB cable
without success.
But now I know why I normally never touch Windows and only
work on linux

Another way of saying it is that you downloaded the wrong RUU for your device.

"Waiting for Device" at fastboot usually related to bootloader driver. You need Android USB Driver
See : http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Hi folks,
I've bought my One V in late may and I had 2.08 ROM.
Now I've tested some roms and I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I've downloaded RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed, and got recovery_signed and boot_signed images. Then I've went to fastboot, did flash recovery and boot partitions, and oem locked bootloader. Afterwards I booted my phone and entered PIN. Then I fired up RUU*.exe file, and I have 155 error. What the heck? Something I missed?
greetings!

Flashing RUU to revert to stock
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then (even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- flash RUU
NOTE: There is no boot/reboot and enter pin in between.

Need help updating to JB on HTC One X (HBOOT 0.43) [SOLVED]

Hey all, I dont usually post questions, cause I usually am able to find all my answers, but this time i really hit a stump. not sure if its just cause my case is unique.
I have a HTC__622 (so JB compatible), with HBOOT 0.43 running Android Revolution 9.7.2, and im looking to upgrade to JB. However, despite many guides and tutorials, I can't seem to get past updating my HBOOT. Let me list out what I've done (I was following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807, following method 2/3, cause i haven't cooked a rom since windows mobile LOL)
1-downloaded "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.29.708.15_Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed" (my original one was 1.29.708.2)
2-extracted rom.zip from the RUU, and copied over boot-signed.img, system.img, recovery-signed.img
3-flashed boot-signed.img, and recovery-signed.img. system.img failed.
4-relocked bootloader
5-this is where i get stuck, the RUU cannot detect my phone in fastboot mode and so I cant run the RUU.exe.
anyone got any ideas as to why i can't run RUU.exe from my comp while my phone is in fastboot mode? thanks in advance!
I have no idea what you are doing. To install an RUU:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU.
All this extracting and flashing is madness.
When you boot into bootloader, what does it say on the screen?

I can relock but I can't boot back into my rom. im stuck in the bootloader. The RUU only detects my phone from normal phone mode.
The first lines on the screen are relocked, security warning, and then my hboot info.

Does the phone say fastboot USB when you have it in fastboot/bootloader
Then try fastboot devices first to see if your serial comes up ! If it does you can run the ruu.exe from the pc with admin rights.....
Should do the trick
Ok I would try to do everything from the beginning.
To make it easier and faster you can use the script form that thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003&highlight=jbfwflasher
Then you don't need to install RUU.
Remember to place in the folder boot.img from the rom which you want to flash later.

hmm, so you're saying I just need to flash firmware.zip (for my HTC__622 of course), to get the hboot 1.36? i'll give that a shot and report back.
--update 1--
alright so after trying to just flash the new hboot 1.36 (from firmware.zip), i am met with this:
E:\Utilities\Android\One X\JBFWTOOL20>fastboot flash zip firmware-622.zip
sending 'zip' (12875 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.647s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
(bootloader) signature checking...
(bootloader) checking model ID...
(bootloader) checking custom ID...
FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail)
finished. total time: 3.130s
how did you flash it and make it work?
--update 2--
I must've downloaded the wrong (or renamed the wrong) firmware.zip file, i just redownloaded and bam everything works. thanks a lot onexed, that did help. basically, even if you're on 0.43, just flash the firmware.zip for your phone, and get onto a newer hboot, and all is well. thanks!
Welcome i'm glad it worked out for you enjoy jellybean

[Q] problem with ruu

hello guys, i have a problem using RUU to revert my phone back to stock, i searched for a solution on xda forum and google for few hours now but nothing was exacly my problem. i am sorry if i missed vital information, this is my first android phone and i am still trying to learn and understand how it works.
CID 004 primou
i tried 2 different ruu versons for this CID. before using each i did the following steps
flashed boot from archive, flashed recovery from archive, relocked the bootloader.
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30966084&postcount=114
first gave the error 155 due to the HBOOT being of a more recent version than the ruu (not sure if i understood well the error)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30994089&postcount=121
on the second ruu *latest, i did same steps as before, unlocked bootloader, flashed boot, flashed recovery, relocked, but the ruu gives the error 170 ( device not connected) but i am 100% sure it is correctly connected into fastboot because it responds to One_V_All-In-One_Kit and it was recognized by the previous ruu.
i am using windows 8 pro and i have installed the ADB interface using the SDK google driver, this method to be exact http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088896
Can you run this script and let us know the result because CID 004 is different from 044.
See this post for the script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36514545&postcount=15
And this post reason for error 170 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36515756&postcount=22
hello, thanks for helping me,
i do not have any USB 3.0 ports on my PC, and the battery is at about 60%
the script you gave me told me this:
C:\Users\Draghici\Desktop\CID_checker_2>call fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__044
finished. total time: 0.001s
There is no need to flash boot.img and recovery.img, just a relocked bootloader is needed.
Just follow this step : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36515523&postcount=18
Most important is make sure your device is put on fastboot usb mode not hboot usb mode. (Another common error for usb connection problem when flashing RUU)
And use the latest RUU RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.22.707.2_Radio_ 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.120_release_274703_signed.exe

sure i will do it right now, but i am 100% sure i relocked it correctly, the phone was in fastboot USB (red text) every time, and after each flash of boot/recovery, i relocked it, it told me in pink text in the recovery mode "RELOCKED"
but one more thing to add, when the RUU install failed on my phone screen it told me that the HBOOT version is too recent or something like that
hboot too recent if you flash 2.09 RUU (for hboot 1.17) but your hboot maybe 1.18 (2.22 RUU).
Unless there is a further update that I may missed, what hboot number is written on the bootloader ?

Android ADB Interface
Android Bootloader Interface
Android Composite Interface
each of them work with the 2.09 RUU and with all in one tool but none of them worked on 2.22 RUU.
You need HTC USB driver.
I'm using the driver from this HTC Sync Manager. It works nicely for Win 8 pro.
Install the HTC Sync Manager, it will install the necessary driver and you can remove the HTC Sync Manager later on but keep the driver.

sorry for the late rly, I think I got some progress, I did the next steps.
went to device manager and uninstalled google android sdk driver, went to HTC Sync installation folder (I had it installed at first try but it did not pass my mind to show windows the location where it was installed, anyway...) and I installed the windows 7 driver, the windows 8 do not work for some reason, right now I can see the green progress bar on my phone so I guess it worked.
thanks a lot
I will ofc hit the "thanks" button on your posts here.
Yep...that's a good progress... it will be a successful flash

Thanks for your reply.
But then , How do I flash boot.img for ARHD ?
Since I had followed all the steps properly and in sequence.
When I tried flashing boot.img from my laptop previously, my device crashed and then no button worked . My laptop kept giving a message that USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED .
Also, unless I flash boot.img , how can I flash the ROM?
Do you have any link or clue?

you can flash the boot.img with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img Try on different port or install latest htc drivers. You can flash official rom with RUU download RUU reloack the bootloader and run the RUU then you will be complete stock ROM.
Any link for what, I give you a clue in my 2 post.

The only problem is that my laptop doesn't recognise my phone. So commands hang and my phone freezes .I have tried all the ports while deleting HTC SYNC , installing different drivers from so many different sites/posts one by one . Finally was able to reboot the phone . I will give it a try with another laptop or using a different datacable . Unless my laptop recognises my phone, properly , I don't think any command will work.

Check for maximus or arhd (NOT the lollipop versions but a slight older one) in the dev section or get a new stock backup matching your version number in the general section - collection of firmwares, stock backups and more by @exocetdj
And if that doesn't give you the correct steps and files than try the specific Sprint M8 support subforum

Ah i see in the Sprint section. Maybe it's good to mention that too in the first reply because this is the international section and therefore doesn't hold Sprint ruu files. So that confused me a bit. Thanks for the link
My bad I didn't realize that
Thanks both. Really appreciated your advice. I tried steps in below link

uhm well, you double click the ruu.exe on the pc. That should do the trick
Hi
I relock the bootloader and did the prrevious steps. Now its worked.
Now it shows "RELOCKED" in the bootloader menu.
Is it the normal sign ?
Yes as you are s-on that's normal. Only with s-off you can change those flags to LOCKED
