Flash cwm recovery 5.8.4.0 (if you don't have it already installed)
Download a ICS rom and copy the boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Put the phone in fastboot USB mode and flash the boot.img
Go into recovery and do full wipe EXCEPT Sd card ! Then mount sdcard as USB drive and Copy the rom.zip over to it
Flash the rom.zip from recovery and reboot
And stay away from the AT&T ROGERS FORUM that's for a different one x !
We have the ENDEAVORU type phone.....stay in this forum and don't flash anything from the other forum, you might brick the phone !

Thanks for the help

or provide me work around to update my phone to official jelly bean
Thanks.

You can check here, but i don't see it

But if you have the nandroid backup.....it's the same as a ruu !
You have to restore the whole nandroid and not just the system and boot.
You have to do a full wipe from recovery and flash the boot.img from the nandroid and then restore the complete nandroid in recovery ! It's exactly the same as a ruu except the stock recovery is not included so you have to flash that after you restored the nandroid !

These are steps followed to recovery my whole HTC one x normal state.
1. Flashed the boot and recovery images form 2.17.720.2 OTA.
2. oem lock
3. Downloaded the RUU 2.17.720.2 from file factory (for this u need primer account. just googled it). As my device main version is 2.17 for ur download the respective ones.
4. Ran the RUU when the mobile is in fastboot mode.
5. That's it my devices is recovered back to 2.17.720.2
6. Software update is done form about section. (with out any issue.)
these steps are simple but, to identify these i have done lot of searching and background work.
at last I did it.
thanks for members helped me and thanks for XDA.
Now i got some idea about the process involved in the booting up of device and upgrade process. if you stuck any of the issue mentioned in the previous post of this thread. reply back with the issue.

I have tried all 3 of the firmware backup roms (including the 1.2 one) from the stock nandroid backups.
Please can someone help ive been trying to do this for about 8 hours now.
EDIT:
Hello,
I tried again to flash to stock. I tried versions 1.12 stock and 1.54 to go back, using 2.7.02 TWRP (2.7.0.1 doesnt boot) and it still says failed.
Anyone know how to work around this or help me get to stock. I want to update my phone to latest version!

looking in this wrong corner mate, you need a backup from the voda cid. your official version is not 2.22.401 !
check the backup thread and compare by CID and not by buildnumber of your custom rom
and BTW read the whole OP there. its literally written there what to do, take the time for it. hboots, software numbers and cids.....its all explained

saw that ? its not rocket science, just simple look & compare. my 6 year old does this also in pre school
think you have info info now to try again.
cheers

No need to try and make me look silly loool. The first few lines in my post say I have tried the versions starting 1.54 and 1.2.. I got them from the VOPAP001 section. Those are the ones which are giving me a failed attempt.
Everytime I flash it it just says failed and error mounting E:/cache. I looked up the error I was receiving and based off what I read it seemed I was using the wrong rom so I came over here to ask.
SO the question with the 2.22 was just another attempt as trying something that might work.
Could you suggest something else please?
EDIT: Also does it matter what version of twrp I am using? 2.8.3 doesnt boot, gets stuck in white screen, 2.8.1 doesnt get into white screen, thats the one i have flashed as recovery

sorry not once tried to make you look silly.
cheers.

No worries!
Update:: I have tried to use 1.54 from htc_001 CID as well as the ones from VODAP001 however I still get failed.
Anyone have any clue as to why this is??
THanks!

use an older twrp 2.7 range. the newer ones are compiled differently and therefore doesn't work on your lower hboot.
restore the 1.12 voda nand and flash back the matching stock recovery. then ota up again

The "error mounting E:/cache" always happens after you have flashed a recovery and erased cache (TWRP prints it 3 times on my phone)
The failed usually means your download was corrupt or it was created with a different recovery than what your using, if the recovery was created with Phils you can't restore it with TWRP. Also are you restoring the backup from the ext_sd or the internel sdcard or a usb-otg. Are you MD5 checking your downloads ?
If your having problems with the recovery partition also you phone may have damaged partitions ..have a look at mike1986 fix

I am using twrp for the recovery, does it matter which version of twrp i use or does it have to be the same version the one where the backup was made?
Thanks for the second link as well, whenever I try to restore my data from previous backup it fails at 85%, ill see if that fixes it.
Thanks for your help, will post with an update once tried.

[Q] I completely messed up my phone. (noob)

Hello,
I tried to update the firmware on my phone and completely messed up my phone while doing it. No there is no os left on the phone.
Trying to install a new rom either trough adb or over the external sd also failed.
The reasons for this mess is that I don´t understand what I am doing,
its actually a trial an error process.
I am now really in the need of help.
Please help me.
Information:
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.2133156.UA13G
(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B10000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__102
M8_Ul PVT SHIP S-Off
CID- 11111111
The only thing that is still working on this phone is TWRP 2.8.1.0
So:
what files do I have to flash?
The files I tried to flash didn´t work…
Mainly it said: E: Unable to open zip file. Error flashing zip
Help would be really appreciated.
I am quite frustrated right now.
My operating system is Mac os X.
Thanks.

Try older 2.7 TWRP and flash ROM from extSD. That is old firmware so a ROM based on 1.5x firmware.

Are you trying to flash it via recovery ?
Read carefully op's instructions from the thread linked.
This file is NOT to be flashed via recovery. you need to flash it via bootloader (fastboot oem rebootRUU ...) or rename it to 06PBIMG.zip and put it in your sd-ext root and boot on hboot it'll fint it and try to flash it automatically.
BEWARE as this is a RUU and it may wipe everything (incl. internal mem)

Hold down the power button + vol up till your phone reboots (it'll take a bit, 20 seconds or so). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK slide your finger from vol up to vol down. That will take you to your bootloader.
Hook up to your PC and get into ADB. Enter the command fastboot getvar all and post the readout here. Delete your serial no and IMEI from the readout before posting it for your own security.

You have old firmware and probably tried flashing a 4.4.4 ROM. I would suggest getting S-Off to update your firmware. Also your version main is blank. That would give your actual firmware version, but I can tell it is 4.4.2 based from your hboot number. It is blank because the TWRP version you are using is either old or 2.8.1.0. Both will cause that. Update your recovery as well.
In the meantime, flash this in recovery. It is a stock ROM backup that should fix your issue.
If you are going to try to run newer versions of ROMs, you'll need to have newer firmware. You can either get S-Off to do that, or convert back to stock (stock ROM and recovery, unmodified system partition) and take the OTAs.

You can't put it onto your extSD? In the bootloader menu, pick hboot (vol keys to navigate, power button to select) and it will give you the option for booting into recovery.
Or in ADB/fastboot issue the command fastboot reboot-recovery

Okay. I didn't explain the process thinking you would realize that it is a nandroid backup and not a ROM.
You have to place it into your TWRP backup folder.
Here are the instructions:
Q : How do i restore the stock nandroid backup
A : In general :
- Place the nandroid backup unpacked on the sdcard of the phone in the right backup folder
TWRP uses - TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there) thanks to garyd9 for the additional info
- Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup
- Make a full wipe in the recovery
- Restore the nandroid backup and reboot
If your backups are saved to your SD card, that's where to put it. It's always best to save nandroids to external.

This will probably be easier for you. Download this ROM. It is 4.4.2 based and should work for you. It's not a backup, so no messing around putting it into a folder. Place it onto your extSD and flash it in recovery.

TWRP uses - TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there) thanks to garyd9 for the additional info
- Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup
- Make a full wipe in the recovery
- Restore the nandroid backup and reboot
If your backups are saved to your SD card, that's where to put it. It's always best to save nandroids to external.

This will probably be easier for you. Download this ROM. It is 4.4.2 based and should work for you. It's not a backup, so no messing around putting it into a folder. Place it onto your extSD and flash it in recovery.

I cant to full wipe, only System and cache. Dalvik cache and Data says Failed right away.
I couldn't restore from the backup its says failed as well.
I'm downloading this rom now, hopefully it will work.
Just to be sure, after the download done, i move the zip to my SD card then go to recovery and flash? no other things to do? commands?

Yes, just flash it. If you have issues after the flash, retry the wipes and flash it again. Not being able to wipe dalvik and data is strange. What version of TWRP are you using? The newest is 2.8.4.0. I'm using 2.8.3.0 and don't have these problems. You should probably update your recovery. The system, cache, and dalvik get wiped automatically during the ROM install as the devs have that put into the install script.

That's the version for Verizon. Are you on Verizon? If so, you can find all the Verizon TWRP downloads here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8_wlv
If you aren't on Verizon, then that will be what is causing your issues.

Maybe. The link I gave you is from the official TWRP website, just like this next link is. Flashing a recovery not meant for your device can really screw stuff up and possibly hard brick your phone. Be more careful.
You will want to use one of these recovery versions. I'm using 2.8.3.0, but I have heard good things about the newest 2.8.4.0.

At&t and GSM variants use same recovery so flash 2.8.4.0 provided in the link above BY xunholyx.
Also i recommend to upgrade the rom by running stock backup and then update through official OTA ..

Did you try the sd-card method? Rename the RUU to 0PJAIMG.zip, copy it into the root directory of a sd-card that is formatted to fat32 and not bigger than 32gb, put the card into your phone, boot into download mode and follow the instructions on the phone's screen. (Where did you actually get the 1.40.401.8 RUU? The sources I know provide the OTA update and not the RUU. So maybe you know a source I haven't heard of before.)
The output during relocking my old One S and/or my fathers One SV always stated the "too many links" error, too. Nevertheless the bootloader was always relocked after the reboot. (I've never relocked my M9 because there was no need to do so since I bought it.)
Fastboot boot recovery doesn't work on the M9. That's the reason why we need to grab the stock recovery from RUUs or OTAs instead of backing it up before we start flashing.
What TWRP version are you running? I think that error only existed in one of the older versions and is fixed in the newest one.
To replace TWRP with the stock recovery you can try this: Make a backup with only "recovery" checked. Rename the stock recovery to recovery.emmc.win. Replace the recovery.emmc.win in your TWRP backup with the renamed stock recovery and restore the backup. If you now reboot your phone TWRP will be replaced.

i'm running 2.8.7.0 twrp and neither the sd card method nor backup method worked for me, and bootloader is still unlocked with that output, twrp just says failed when i try and do a backup, and reboots when i try to flash a rom, do you think the phones memory is corrupted or something?, i just cant seem to do anything

There is a newer version (2.8.7.1-CPTB-B1) which can be found in the beta version section here. Furthermore there is a stock backup provided in this thread that corresponds to your firmware version. Try to update TWRP and then to restore the backup.
Edit (Just to answer my own question from my previous post): The second Link provides a 1.40.401.8 RUU, too.

Well, that definitely sounds like your phone's memory is corrupted. I don't know whether there is another method to help you than sending it to HTC's repair service. Are you sure your storage isn't just full (since the flashing output seems to be ok [see below])?
