I made the first steps a little easier, added adb, fastboot and some scripts in the attachement.
- Unpack the attached zip-file to your windows computer
- Connect the phone to the computer (get it in fastboot mode)
- Run the script FastbootBatteryRecharge.bat
- The phone will keep rebooting, and your phone will be charged very slowly (so keep it this way half a day or longer).
When the phone is charged you face a next problem. The phone has already been unlocked and relocked by another user, and I am not sure you can get an Unlock_code.bin from HTC if someone before you did that for a specific device. Or you can ask your friend if he has the Unlock_code.bin
If you manage to get the Unlock_code.bin -file put it in the folder you unpacked and run the script HTCDevUnlock.cmd
If you did that you can flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM, you can read all about that in these forums (look at the sticky topics).
Thanks very much for simplifying the steps .
I dont want to jinx it , but its looking good so far.
I was just thinking of restoring the phone to the FACTORY SETTINGSDo I have to get the unlock code for this or just go into the HBOOT when the phone has a sufficient charge?
I want to learn more about all things Android . Can anyone recommend an idiots guide ? A guide that explains the jargon in plain english & has step - by - step guides?
Thanks in advance

you don't need the Unlock code for factory reset you can do it from recovery but you will lose all your information on the SD card

Hi guys!
Im quite new here and new to all these Android stuff but here's my problem:
My friend accidentally formatted everything (sd card, cache, system) and erased EVERYTHING including my CWM recovery backups and now when I reboot it only stays on the HTC logo. Now here are my questions:
-is this a soft brick or a hard brick? (I can still go to HBOOT and RECOVERY)
-what can I possibly do? I dont really know how to flash a stock ROM and stuff like RUU or Kernel etc.
Please help me, Im new to Android and Im actually having fun using it with my new phone. By helping me, you are also helping my friend not being killed by me if my phone gets restored.
Thank you very much!

i think mass storage is not working from recovery currently so flash RUU...
It just a soft brick. You can use a custom ROM, put the rom.zip on your memory card and flash it. HTC One V has a memory card slot for you to put in your sdcard, so not a big problem.
Custom ROM:
1- put the ROMxx.zip on your sdcard (use a card reader).
2- boot to recovery
3- tap on install from sdcard
4- tap on choose zip from sdcard
5. tap on the ROMxx.zip and install.
6. Once complete, reboot.
If you want a stock ROM then you need to flash RUU.
1. put the stock recovery.img in fastboot folder
2. connect your phone in fastboot mode
3. open cmd prompt, point to fastboot folder
4. type fastboot flash recovery stock recovery.img
5. type fastboot oem lock
6. double click your RUU and follow instructions.
Make sure you have the right RUU for your phone.

I did your instructions but when I typed fastboot flash recovery stock recovery.img it says "it cannot load stock" then i proceeded and typed fastboot oem lock and my device rebooted. When it got back to HBOOT it says "***RELOCKED*** on top
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
You shouldn't relock first, you need to place the stock recovery first then relock. But I guess it is ok as you may be on stock ROM.
Anyway, which area are you ? Asia ? Europe? where ?
Check in bootloader - what is the radio version ?
These info may help to find the right RUU for you
p.s: stock recovery.img is refering to the recovery_signed.img or recovery.img depends on the right name. Say it is recovery_signed.img then it should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"

Thank you very very much for your quick replies!
*I copied the recovery.img file to the fastboot folder in my CPU. And yes the recovery.img is the name of my stock recovery.*
You should be more specific, which area in Asia.
If you're in Malaysia or Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, grab the RUU here:
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/NjefCFzT...831.15.00.23_m_release_252880_signed.exe.html
What was your ROM before the soft brick ? If it is stock and now you are on "relocked" status, connect your phone in bootloader (fastboot usb), double click the RUU.exe and follow the displayed instructions.

Firstly, you should not start flashing stuff to your phone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. The community is here to help, not to bail you out because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions carefully.
Right rant over lets try and get this phone working again. As you have already flashed the rom, that's a start. You now need to go into the bootloader to flash the kernel and ram disk.
So step by step:
1) Boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power)
2) Download the appropriate boot.img from the ARHD thread.
3) Place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
4) From the Command Line run fasboot flash boot boot.img
5) Then run fastboot erase cache
I may be wrong but I think the ARHD boot.img contains a script which automates steps 4 and 5 in which case you can just run the script and ignore these steps. Once you have done all this the phone will boot normally.

Have u installed the SDK platform tools in ur computer?if not type on google Android SDK and download it then you can do the following. place the image file (which is the kernel) in the path of SDK(where is installed. Mine for example is on C:\Program files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(Place here UR kernel file) )
afterwards open an CMD and then type the following fastboot flash boot NAME_OF_IMAGE.IMG. everything that dr97.. said is right u should do those steps first. my guidance is on what to do and where to place the kernel. ill be online all time to answer you as sooner i can.
Good luck m8

i didnt forget you just checking if we can do it with other way.
found a way. go here download it. Make sure u have the HTC sync installed. Once u download the tool u will find 2 files one exe and one folder.inside the folder u will find 2nd folder with name Kernels. place there your kernel and go back one folder where you will find Windows Batch file with name UserKer Press it and follow the instructions
One more edit. Rename the Kernel as Boot! or else i think it will not work the script
GOOD LUCK

If you are now trying to get back to stock then you need to know a few things first. If you have a branded phone (locked to a network provider) then you will need to download their RUU for the phone, if you have an unbranded phone (can use any sim card in it) then you will need to flash the unbranded RUU for your phone. and unbranded RUU can be Identified if the firmware is like the following: x.xx.401.x, a branded phone goes something like: x.xx.771.x (this is for 3 UK, the 771 part will be different depending on your network).
Secondly what firmware were you on before flashing a custom ROM onto your phone? were you on 1.26, or 1.28, or 1.29? you will need to have the relevant stock recovery and RUU for your firmware version. If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.
you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.
you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE
And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.

If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.
you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.
you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE
And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.

and yes i have the unlock.bin that was sent to me by htc can u please be so kind and tell me step by step how:1-flash my unlock.bin
2- then flash the stock recovery for my device thanks alot alot in advance really appreciate every one that is trying to help thank u guys
you can unlock your bootloader again with the same unlock.bin file you got off the HTCDEV site and using the following command in command prompt: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ... the signature error could possibly point to having the wrong stock recovery. did you flash the 1.29.401.11 stock recovery?
Edit: could you post the link to where you got that RUU from? I might possibly be able to extract the recovery.img file from it, as I think the 1.29.401.11 recovery might be wrong for you, you might need the 1.29.415.11 recovery to be flashed...

You shouldn't relocked it on the first place, because from what i read at the OP, you have your phone unlocked and rooted..if you follow my guide, my friend, you will have a fully working phone again..do you even read it..
Hi, i've unlocked bootloader,flashed recovery,rooted my phone now i need to get a good ROM. Can someone please tell me which is the easiest ROM to install without having to go to bootloader unlock,relock it etc...that will be a real pain in the as*.
I don't care which ROM as long as it has a better battery life than original version and solves WI-FI issues..
Thanks
First; try a better thread-name.
Second; I don't know what you mean, if you talk about unlock the bootloader again ..
If you already have done that, why would you need to do that again o0
Try IceColdJelly, it has Android 4.1(.1?), is very smooth and has a very good battery life.

In cmd (on your computer)
Flash the boot.img which you should extract out the Rom.zip you downloaded
Then flash it in fastboot.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then fastboot clear cache
Then reboot the phone :-

You need to flash the boot.img through fastboot. Put the boot.img into your fastboot folder and open a cmd window there. Then boot your phone into fastboot mode and run the commands "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot erase cache"

it tells you EVERYTHING you need to know, read through it and other guides.
you are the reason ROM flashing shouldnt be available to everyone, you should have to pass a test first to ensure you know what you are doing and not outsmarted by a tree.

Be nice, this is supposed to be a friendly community. Some people know what they're doing, some have a lot left to learn - rememeber, you were a noob once.
However, on the other hand I have to agree, there are MANY forums and threads which explain the process of flashing a rom, recovery and rooting. There is no excuse not to use your eyes and the search features. Each Rom thread also has installation/flashing guides although very basic you should read anyway to avoid a brick or any other accidents.

I would be happy tho if i can flash it to same rooted state as it was as long i get it working again.
Can someone give me some pointers pls, the way that thread with instruction is written is very hard for me to understand because some basic steps are skipped prob because orger understand them but im very nooby and cant work with it

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

According to the hboot (1.12) you need a 2.17 based ruu .... but i can't find it !
Tthe basic steps now are
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

Right basically i have a HOX and i want CM 10.1 on it! I have already rooted it with CWM recovery and still running the stock ICS 4.04, my HBOOT is version 1.12 and my CID is HTC__001. I have read that you need at least HBOOT version 1.31 to flash any JB rom but ive also read that once you flash the ROM you have to flash the BOOT.IMG after and it will work?? Help please!
and i keep seeing people refering to fastboot commands, i have fastboot files but not entirely sure how they work?? any help much appreciated
Did you alter the stock rom ..... Removed any system apps or something like that . Otherwise flashing back the stock recovery might be enough to update to JB
Ok so i guess being on HBOOT 1.12 doesnt matter, but i dont get how to flash the BOOT.IMG after flashing the ROM using fastboot. I dont want to go into it not knowing what im doing :laugh:

Yeah i deleted lots of bloatware and general crap i wont use. That was 1 thought i had if i updated the official firmware it would also update the hboot but didnt think it would be possible after rooting. If you hadnt guessed im a bit of a noob to this :laugh:
Edit : oke flashing the stock recovery won't work. You have to choices
1 flash a standalone firmware to lift your hboot
2 run the matching ruu to install the phone back to stock and then update to JB

Sorry, i always get paranoid when doing stuff like this haha but yes that's it
Now i assume your bootloader is still unlocked ?
First you Google for the ANDROID SDK PACKAGE. Download it and unpack it, check in the package for a folder named PLATFORM TOOLS, in there you see a file named FASTBOOT.EXE
In that folder you open a command window and type there (with the phone in the bootloader)
Fastboot devices
When a serial comes out you are good to go !
This file will bring the phone back to stock. back up what you need ....also the sdcard !!!
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Download that file, put the phone in the bootloader and lock the bootloader with a fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
The bootloader will restart with a warning sign, that's oke
Then keep it in the bootloader and execute the ruu from the pc with administrator rights.
Follow the program !
Ok thanks but i need help with these fastboot commands where do i do this from pc or phone? And how
Oh wait nevermind it looks like i completely ignored most of your post lol
If you have 1.5 hours i can help on teamviewer ? If you want !
Thanks mate ill give it a go myself if i get stuck anywhere i shall write on here
Sure mate ! Good luck ... Check for the collection of firmwares ....ready to flash :thumbup:

How do i do this? If i double click fastboot.exe i see CMD open and close real quick?
The trick is to open a command window inside that folder where the fastboot file is. Usually done by holding shift and right click in that folder - open command window here
There you need to type the commands. (Its in a dos commando window)
Ahhhh okay thanks i didnt know how to open it in a specific folder cheers will give it a go in the morning :good:
Im back to stock downloading the software update now woop woop thank you so much for your help!! I guess once its done i just unlock the bootloader again and can flash CM?
You used the ruu ? Then yes update the phone as much as you can
And yes unlock, flash a custom recovery DO A NANDROID BACKUP ASAP! and then you start flashing roms :thumbup:
