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.

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..

[Q] Can not install RUU

Hello guys.
I'm following this thread to install JB on my HOX.
Currently my phones cid is HTC__102
I almost crashed my phone yesterday as I was stuck in the boot loop, had to use adb to push ICS and install ICS back.
Now I noticed my HBOOT is 0.43, the thread says to download one of the file. I have no idea which one
Tried all 3 all 3 crashed, I'm not sure what happens.
These to run untill I get to this place (see attachment 0.png).
ruu_endeavor_u_ics_40_htc_europe_1.29.401.11_radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed_c9d22.exe and RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe exit with an error of "UNKNOWN ERROR" (see attachment 1.png)
and
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed.exe crashes and doesn't do anything.
One thing though, the phone is Unlocked, not sure if that matters and I'm using windows 8, but I run all the software in compatibility mode.
Thank you and sorry for my bad spelling.

You need to relock bootloader.

And you need to install the Stock Recovery, for 1.29 ROM, link is provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

you cant downgrade ruu

Now I'm stuck in a loop between power up and hboot.
The phone says "Re-Locked" and won't load the ROM.
Oh the thread I was speaking of is : /showthread.php?t=1562603
Could someone explain me the steps I should make.
for example download this, update this, install this then this, rom and voila.
I'm totally lost here.

Now I see, you have 2.17 already, so you have to flash 2.17 minimal.
Btw. strange that you still have hboot 0.43 and a 2.17 base?
You cannot flash the 1.29, so you have to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed
So, you have relocked
Edit: You could try to RUN the RUU when device is in Fastboot without going back to stock recovery, cause it's in the RUU, but if that doesn't work... follow next steps.
Btw. Goto fastboot while unplugged and plugin usb cable after entered fastboot, you should see usb appear.
1. Next you need Stock Recovery:
for stock recovery you could run the above RUU, after you donwloaded it, but not install it.
After you run the RUU, it unpacks to the following directory:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\{some guid}\{some other guid}\
Get the rom.zip form that directory and in there you can find the Stock Recovery
You can flash recovery through Fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of the retrieved recovery].img (you need to place it in the fastboot folder.
2. If you have Stock Recovery, Go into Fastboot mode and flash the RUU (2.17).

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 !

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

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 !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours

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.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Sorry for the Noob Question
thanks

Try formatting your device so you may be able to receive OTAs.
That happened to me before updating to Jelly Bean and when I had formatted my One X I received the update
I suggest to flash it manually through fastboot

This guide is intended to help you to return your One X device back to stock in order to either return the device for a warranty claim, or to be in a position to receive an official OTA (Over The Air) update. There may be other guides, but the intention of this guide is to be as simple to perform as is possible given the challenges facing us without having s-off for the One X.
There are 2 methods that can be used to restore back to stock from a custom rom:
.....
2. Flashing a stock ruuBEFORE STARTING
1. Charge your device. It is advisable to have at least 60 - 70% battery charge on your device before attempting this process
2. Install HTC Sync software and drivers on your pc.
3. You also need to have the fastboot folder and files installed on your pc.
Refer here for guidance on using adb and fastboot commands
.....​OPTION 2 - Restoring stock rom by flashing stock ruu
Get the RUU file required for your device:
... (i´ve posted the correct links below)
​PROCESS :
1. Boot your phone to fastboot mode by holding power+vol down button for 10 secs..(if your phone keeps restarting in normal phone mode, go to Setting>Power and untick Fast boot)
2. Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
3. cd to the location of your fastboot files folder
4. Relock bootloader - type command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
The phone will then restart into fastboot again showing "RELOCKED"
6. On your pc run the RUU that you downloaded earlier, follow the steps as prompted and patiently wait for it to finish.
REMEMBER your phone should be charged ABOVE 50% AND if the ruu or restore is INTERRUPTED 4 any reason during restore your
phone MAY be PERMANENTLY BRICKED..​all the best..:fingers-crossed:

I would prefer to update in three steps:
1st: Flash the RUU 1.26.401.2 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe
2nd: Flash the RUU 2.17.401.2 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
3rd: Flash the RUU 3.14.401.27 http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
and after these updates i think you can get the last OTA´s automatically.

Thanks for the info Neo XL. Do i have to do this to get the OTA's or could I install a good Custom Rom. If so which one do you recommend? I am currently on stock Android 4.0.3. (ICS)

You have a never updated device. One year behind the release of the One X with ICS - now we have JellyBean. I recommend to perform the updates of the original source and then flash again a custom rom.

Maybe i´ve made a mistake, because i forgot, that you can install with S-Off every rom and the bootloader will be updated automatically. Also you can downgrade with a S-Off-device. So there´s no need for these steps. Sorry.

Have you installed the proper drivers on your PC?
Before installing RUU, try the command "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognizing your device.
Edit: You'll have to do that from a folder with fastboot in it or you have to have fastboot in your PATH info.

Looks like you are connected, so I don't know why the RUU cannot find your device.

I have tried it again, and Ruu found my phone, but bootloader error appeared:
The ROM update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again...
Any ideas where to get the corect one for vodafone UK???

Yeah, but actually this one still seems like doesnt sort out my issue, I did find the right nandroid backup and I would flash it in recovery if I had any..
Don't forget that right at the beginning I was about to go for stock Rom, so I did flash stock recovery and I locked the bootloader.... So the question now is if I can flash again some recovery (which one) while my bootloader is relocked. Or should I go ahead and do relock the bootloader again and than flash recovery...? Sorry but I am still a bit lost, and I dont wanna my HOX to become a brick.... Thx

Looks like you can't go back to stock, there is no RUU, no nandroid backup.
You could still ask if somebody is willing to post a nandroid backup for your CID and version, and in the meanwhile you can unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery and flash a ROM (+boot.img) of your choice that fits your hboot version.
