Firstly an introduction:
I bought my phone on Thursday so i'm pretty much a noob at this phone, had a pair of android phones before this so i'm not totally inexperienced.
At first I rooted my phone and installed a custom recovery, with that i installed CM10. This was working fine until some random soft reboot, nothing weird because it is a nightly and not stable software. Anyhow i saw the sense jelly bean rom and wanted to have a go at that. The process of getting the new hboot caused me nearly all the soft bricks on the horizon. I solved all these softbricks through some very helpfull posts on this site.
Anyhow i decided I prefer a vanilla rom so much so I wanted to go back to the CM10 rom with the new HBOOT, also i used the Bricked boot.img . Now when i start my phone it gets stuck at the quietly brilliant screen, I know its stuck when the screen dims. Also i was stupid enough to make no backups.When I try the second post in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748 it gets failed messages, could this be because of the new HBOOT?
Does any of you know how to get my phone working again? Your help is much appreciated!
I think if you have upgraded your Hboot and not made a backup of your previous rom, then you may have to stick with the JB rom you had.
reflash the boot.img via fastboot of the JB rom you have then reinstall the rom.zip via recovery and all should be good.
Can I never go back to CM10?
That worked btw thanks very much!

Also I think you can flash an ice cream sandwich custom Rom or nandroid back up, you just can't execute a ruu anymore as the updated hboot won't allow you.

You're pretty much stuck with the sense jb ROM's for now.
no one has successfully booted a aosp/cm10 rom on the new Hboot.
there are dev's working a way to get aosp and cm10 ROM's booted on the newest firmware

Nandroid backups arent just an annoyance, they're bloody necessary.
Try getting getting a stock image and ADB pushing it.
As of now, there is no way to downgrade hboot or revert back to ics rom after installing a jb sense rom. Now all you can do is wait.

You cannot downgrade hboot, correct
But you can flash nandroid back ups and custom ics roms - just can't run ruus.
Sent from my HTC One X
if you install cm10 and flash its boot.img it should work (could have bugs)
new hboot only affects RUU installers and stock roms/ota's released by htc
Summary: New Hboot = Sense+ ROMs or any custom ROM

Yes, But for that he needs a nandroid backup which he doesnt have.
But I know that you can always get one from any other one x.
My phone is rooted and running cm 10.2.1 but I need gps to actually work so I want to put the scock rom on , I tried locking the bootloader and using rru update but it always fails as it is an older version than is already on the phone , the hboot is 1.72.0000 and it is 4.18.206.4 and radio is 5.1204.167.31 , anyone know of a rru that will work ??? or another method of getting stock on it ???
Like mentioned all over now in a lot of threads here.....no ruu available, go for the stock backup method

Hi XDA team,
I recently have a working Desire HD phone. Then I had this app that made my phone hang on startup. So i tried doing a factory reset. Then after doing a factory reset it gets stuck on the HTC logo. So i tried to go on recovery and wipe out the cache. Now when i try to open my phone it goes through the booting process but when it is supposed to go to the setup screen (the screen where you should be able to pick out the language to be used, wifi setup, network setup etc) the setup option just flashes for a split second then disappears. I have checked my android phone on bootloader and discovered that it is already rooted. Any idea what i should do to have this functioning again?
Where did u factory reset?recovery or bootloader?
---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Also need to know if you have unlocked bootloader. S on or s off?
I did the factory reset on the bootloader menu. then after that i tried booting my phone then it gets stuck on the HTC logo screen. So i went to the bootloader menu again and now go to recovery. Then did a wipe/clean cache. After that i rebooted the phone again. Now it goes through the booting process but now as i said above the setup screen that should have been in the screen is now just flashing for a split second then disappears. So now i'm stuck again and has no way to access my phone.

Also i have this on the top of my bootloader screen. ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL so i guess it goes on the S-off category
The problem is you did it via bootloader. You should never do that. It corrupts your SD card. Always factory reset via phone settings or recovery
---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------
My advice is to get a new card and put a ROM in it via a PC...then place in your device and run the ROM via recovery.
---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------
If that fails, you'll probably need to run a ruu.
I have removed the SD card prior to doing factory reset. So i dont think the SD card was corrupted or something. Anything i can do to have my phone functioning again?
In any case,NEVER reset via bootloader..
---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------
I would download a known working ROM to your SD card via the PC and then put card into device...boot into recovery via button combo.. Do a full wipe again..factory reset...clean cache partition...wipe system...wipe dalvik and then flash ROM. Don't flash any gapps. Let's get this phone operational. Lol

What does running a RUU do? Also should i use the stock ROM in this site? I want it the same as before.
Running an ruu will get your device back to stock. U won't lose s off but u will have to lock bootloader again and unlock again after ruu is finished.

I would be glad to come if i could but i am not from the same country i guess. Can u give me instructions instead on how to do this. I am thinking of doing it myself so i might need some walkthroughs from an expert. Based from my screenshot is there anything i need to do before using the stock ROM on the link i placed above?
If your device is completely unusable,then flashing a ruu would be your best bet. Let me know your location and we can properly flash a ruu if necessary

I am from Philippines. Can you give a step by step procedure wherein i could follow it and have it done at my home? The device is currently unusable since i cannot go through the setup part of the phone since the setup menu screen just passes for a split second and vanishes. It would really be great to have step by step things i could follow to proceed in fixing my phone.

First off get your phone to boot loader...see if the PC recognizes device by open cmd prompt "fastboot devices" if it shows numbers and device after it,then your PC can see it. U will have to lock your bootkoader in order to flash ruu..after ruu is finished,u will have to unlock bootloader again then flash a custom recovery

Where can i find a RUU and is it an exe program that has to be in the computer? Also pls teach me how to unlock bootloader pls. Thanks
As the title says.
I did the dev edition conversion in January and unlocked and rootes in the process. I have had the last security update pending for the last 2 months but haven't installed it since i couldn't be bothered to flash stock recovery. So i suppose i won't get around flashing stock recovery if i want the OTA marshmellow update correct? and will i stay rooted after the update?

Hey guys,
i have a european HTC 10 with root, stock android 6, s-on and Team Win Recovery Projekt 3.0.2-6. I wanna go to full stock (stock recovery) and update to official Nougat
I googled and found people saying to use RUU. My CID is HTC_034 and I downloaded RUU zip for this CID.
I put it on my root sd card and enter downlaod mdoe wit hvol down and power, confirm with vol up and get a error that something is missing. (Edit: 19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in adnroid-info missing or i)
Did I do something wrong? Or is my dl corrupt?
are there other ways?
Is this way also for stock recovery?
thanks in advance

It took me a while since my internet is slow
So, after dl the right version it worked. I had trouble with my drivers to get fastboot to work but it did in the end. I locked the bootloader after that because the video i followed said so after RUU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIX94bxx6VM).
Now i think i should have flashed TWRP first to get everything original right? With a locked bootloader it wont work or will it?

You can't get "locked" status without S-Off. You can only get "relocked" status which will show that the bootloader was once unlocked.

If it works after an RUU then there is no need to send it for repairs. It's probably from the ROM you are running or some other software related issue.

I'm aware of that, however that wasn't asked and I was expecting the next question to be about relocked status. Besides, even with s off and locked status ( which I have ) there is still a message on set up regarding the device being a test device anyway
