hi!
I have htc one x tegra 3. I have a few problem with it.
My main problem now, i don't can use fastboot rebootruu option.
Code:
(bootloader) Save data from original MSC...
(bootloader) Save data from SIF...
(bootloader) Update partition data to SIF partition
(bootloader) Update partition data from original MSC...
(bootloader) write sector fail !
(bootloader) [MSG] OKAY
OKAY [ 12.231s]
finished. total time: 12.231s
And it just give me black screen. After i need hold power button for reboot.
But anyway i have problem, with fastboot, if i want relock my phone or unlock again, or flash boot.img, or recovery. Most of time i get some error. I try to flash from android, and win8. From pc and notebook. I need do same command for 2-3 times.
Thats why, i want update frimware, (i want install this: http://arhd.onedroid.net/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One_X/401/3.14.401.31.zip)
I think it have problem, if phone need to write something.

You can't downgrade from 3.20 to 3.14 !!! And there is no RUU. if you want to go to stock you have to restore a nandroid backup via a custom recovery.
Unlock the bootloader :
Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Flash a recovery :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash a boot.img :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

I want to do this many times, but sometimes work, sometiomes not. I always get error for fastboot commands.
Then you should check your drivers,and be sure that you are in Fastboot..
Check yor conectivity:
fastboot devices
Only use the original HTC usb cable, only use a 2.0 usb port directly connected. Not via hubs or anything.
It can always be hardware related at the end, but lets try to rule that out !

Im using another phone cable, i search the original and tray again...
Oh, and i forgot, if i connect the phone to my pc i hear it disconnect and connect few time befor bootloader start up.
Get the original and try again. Otter cables can cause many connection troubles
ok i get back my original usb cable from my ex soooo, now i try unlock the phone:

erase cache can help me befor, if i had this problem, but now, erase chace failed.

ah yeah sorry that was on page 1 already. so the bootloader is unlocked ? yes the error is normal. is the phone still booting into OS And try to flash a recovery now
another strange thing, if i turn my phone on, with usb connected everithing looks ok
Code:
battery-voltage: 3730mV
but if i disconnect the usb and turn the phone on, it say, battery to low to flash.
Then you have to run the battery script
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaah8gqz8j024xz/Batt script.bat
Phone in the bootloader and run the script from the fastboot folder with admin rights.
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little
When it hits 3800mV you flash again

Don't work, the phone don't reboot. If i try reboot it with fastboot reboot-bootlader, or from bootloader or with this script, it just turn off, and i need turn it on by hand.
Yesterday i can use the script, but today not.
yesterday when i finaly can turn on the phone and boot into android, i charge it, around 60% than i go to bed, and i also need to charge my primary phone, so i disconnect hox from charger, and turn it off. Now it say in bootloader baterry low for flash, funny...
Anyway i order a htc one x+ battery from ebay, so i need a few day, and i can test with new battery...
But i try to search some solution until i get the new battery.
edit:
btw my goal now, i just want to make it workable, and sell it. Thats why, i want relock, and install stock rom.
Or i just install THIS rom with custom recovery, or android revolution hd....
can anyone help me out here. I was trying to root my HTC one X. I have unlocked the bootloader. I ran a script to root the device but now it is stuck on HTC quietly brilliant. I can vol down and power to get into the boot menu but cannot get into the normal OS
I assume you did not make a nandroid backup ?
sorry. All I have done so far is unlock the boot menu. I ran a script which has the following
fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.insecure.img
fastboot-windows.exe reboot
adb-windows.exe kill-server
adb-windows.exe wait-for-device
adb-windows.exe remount
adb-windows.exe push system /system
adb-windows.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
it reboots my phone and its stuck. I can get back into the vol down power button menu. I don't think it got rooted
So you have a custom recovery ?
Edit :
The easiest way is to go with a custom rom which is rooted already

No Mr Hof.
I bought this second hand. It was Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5. I have nothing on me. I am trying to understand what I have done. Have I lost the original OS. Is there anyway back? See below for more details. Really appreciate your help here. I am kicking myself for even dabbling.

Oke i suggest you check for a rom that you would like to run and download the rom. After that you do this :
Download this recovery and rename it to recovery.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the boot.img from the rom.zip (it's inside, take it out via 7zip. Open the archive and copy the boot.img)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard in the mount and storage menu, copy the rom.zip.
Make a full wipe :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&storage-format cache, data, system
Then install the rom.zip and reboot
all I can do it vol down and power on. I get a menu saying unlocked at the top and s-on. I can do into fastboot and then run some commands from the laptop like the one above

ok Mr Hof. The rom is the operating system isn't it. I just want to put the same one on that I had. So I will look for HTC one X 4.22 rom and then follow your instructions.
If you want the exact same rom you have to restore a new nandroid backup if it's available. That's a bit more technical than a new custom rom. Custom roms also come in stock versions i will edit some links in here in a few minutes.
Edit 1 :
This is a stock like rom which can be installed the way i described in the post above

right mr Hof
I am downloading from here

Is that what I am after. What's the difference between odexed and de-odexed

Make sure you get the one x version and not the ONE version. Sometimes people read it wrong and trying to install the wrong rom to the device !
I checked the nandroid backup collection but the version that was originally on your phone is not available, so a custom rom is the only way for now to get it back up.

Yes indeed. With the .img file inside the fastboot folder on the pc
I am fixing a TMO Htc One M8 for a friend. He currently has TWRP recovery but nothing will wipe or flash. I have posted the get var information and the log below along with all the steps I've taken, please share any insight into the matter.
Here is the Get VAR Information. I have tried to fix this device by relocking the Bootloader, flashing stock RUU RUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7 , Flashing modified firmware.zip, flashing recovery.img, nothing. Then unlocking the bootloader, flashing Philz recovery.img, Twrp.img, still same error. Current TWRP recovery registers nothing but errors. No wiping data, cache, system, etc. No installing backup nandroid, no flashing new rom through external SD card or adb sideload. Literally the phone won't flash anything and the error is error 12, "Remote signature verifiey failed" What kinda insight do you have into this? Anyway to get back to stock?
Thanks!

okay I'm wondering why the bootloader is 3.18. I just converted my T-Mobile HTC one m8 to dev edition and that's what my bootloader is now.
That device must have been s-off before if it has the 3.18 bootloader. the problem is now you're s-on with the wrong bootloader in the phone. So it's not gonna verify something it can't. U need to unlock the bootloader then try to s-off again. Let me know if u need more help

Yes, I think the device was S-off before was well. But how can I get the device S-off when I can't load any rom to establish an internet connection?
There's no way to get back to stock, or get an internet connection through the device to obtain S-off. I can unlock the boot-loader,
I've done that a few times, but how to get S-Off when the only two screens I can access are the bootloader and twrp? When bootloader is unlocked. I have used firewater before for S-off and it requires active internet connection on device.
Thanks again for helping

Unlock bootloader try to flash the latest open twrp recovery and try to install another Rom or backup. If you can see the roms in the sdcard then you should be able to flash the roms or backup.
If there was a way to get into adb YOU would be able to s-off again.

Is there any option in recovery to format? if so have u tried to format each partition manually?
Then try and see if it will flash. Just need something to boot so you can s-off .
You need to get s-off again so you can flash a ruu with lower hboot if formatting doesn't work or you can try to flash the new 4.4.3 ruu when it becomes available. They said the ota should be out on the 11th.
I'll keep looking for ways to s-off without adb .
Well first your doing the wrong command. Its fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, not fastboot flash flash recovery.img.

Yes, that was a typo. Every fastboot flash ends with error 12. Remote Signature.
I have tried literally everything with this device. Tried flashing new TWRP, Radio, Firmware, Etc. Nothing works.
Inside TWRP everything finishes with "failed" or "E: Unable to mount cache"
I tried to select cache under the mount in TWRP and it's greyed out. I fastboot erase cache, and it is literally
the only thing that worked for me. But still no way to restore previous Android. Tried flashing stock RUU's for 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, no dice.
Both RUU's get to 6 percent and then say failed. I'm wondering if the device thinks it's a different phone possibly a GPE edition so it won't
go back to stock? Just a thought. I have unlocked, and relocked the bootloader a million times trying different methods as well, not
sure what else there is to do next. This might be the end of the road for this customers phone.

Under TWRP the only option is to format data. I formatted, but it did nothing that I'm aware of.

There should be a way now that the new T-Mobile update to flash ruu if we can find one.
Edit: found one
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P00
Just select T-Mobile as carrier and USA as region then you Wil see the latest ruu to download.

the latest viper is from New firmware base so it takes 15 to 20 minutes to boot. Have you waited that long?

Sorry it seems I'm getting posts in different orders.
Flash viper and wait 15 to 20 minutes. And we can go from there.
I'm pretty sure we can get this resolved.

I'll try to flash the latest Viper. The 1.6.0 it says everything flashed correctly, but gets stuck at the HTC boot screen.
I just flashed the 1.8.0 OTA update and everything installs but it sticks at the boot screen.
I see the 2.2.0 update is out so I'm downloading that now, I'll flash and see how it goes.
I'll update, thanks for your help!
Ruu requires the bootloader be locked
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Some one please help me.
I have the HTC One M8 which I updated to Android 5.0.1 through OTA updates about 2 weeks ago.
Yesterday, I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device. I also have the TWRP Recovery v.2.7.0.2 installed.
Everything was working fine until after the root when I noticed that the internal storage had some kind of write protection on it. Like even the default "DCIM , ANDROID, Downloads etc... folders weren't there". I discovered the write protection on the internal storage when I tried to download a file using Chrome on the phone and it replied with "No SD Card".
Funny thing is apps from the Play Store were installing perfectly fine.
So I booted back into TWRP recovery and did a factory reset thinking I must've messed up while rooting.
After the factory reset when I try boot up my phone the Setup Wizard constantly crashes so I can't do anything.
My HTC One M8 is the international variant Model: 0P6B100.
Someone please help
1. Install the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0 (2.7.0.2 is damn too old and buggy)
2. In TWRP select Wipe - Format Data (you will lose all files in internal storage)
3. Reboot - you should be able to run the setup wizard

I installed TWRP 2.7.0.2 using All in one tool v2.0 by Hasoon2000. The tool needs usb debugging to be turned on which I can't turn on because I can't get past the setup wizard because it keeps crashing.
Is there a way to install it manualy using fastboot?
I thought so ... when I see TWRP 2.7.0.2 I can guess you use some outdated Toolkit.
Press & hold Volume up and power button until the screen turn off then quickly release both buttons and press & hold volume down button. This should get you to hboot. Press power once to go to bootloader.
If you don't have a proper ADB & fastboot installed, download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download latest TWRP : http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
Connect to PC and open a command prompt and run command fastboot devices and see any connection with PC, it will give your device serial no. if it does.
If yes, flash the TWRP : fastboot flash recovery NameofTWRP.img then do the above that I mentioned

I did that. Then it started the "Android is upgrading - Optimizing apps splash.
After that I'm back to the Setup Wizard which keeps crashing.
Then the only choice is to restore a stock backup or RUU.
What's your software version ?
Better post result of fastboot getvar all (minus the serial no. & imei no.)

You don't need S-Off to run RUU, relocked bootloader before run RUU. Read thru that thread, there are many discussion.
Read this, this guy also doesn't have S-Off device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/one-m8-htc001-cid-firmware-wifi-problem-t3031656 and he managed that.
Or just restore backup that linked to you if you don't feel to relock bootloader.
You need to read all those thread. Without reading, this is going no where .. good luck

What does RUU mean? and how do I use it?
Also does applying RUU restore my phone to the way it was before root as in With Android 5.0.1 and Sense 6.0?
RUU is ROM Update Utility released by HTC.
Read the thread on how to use it. Basic is put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command fastboot oem lock.
Then run the RUU exe in Administrator mode (select run as Administrator) from your Windows explorer.
This will wipe everything on your device and replace with new stock ROM with no root.
That RUU is lollipop 5.0.1 and Sense 6.0
Read the thread.. you will understand what it does. Good night.

Did you do fastboot oem rebootRUU before fastboot flash zip ruu.zip ?
Let's do a different way, the simplest one.
1. Re-unlock your bootloader
2. Make sure you have TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 installed (I mentioned many times about this version, right ?)
3. Download a flashable stock ROM One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994
4. Boot to recovery and connect to PC, In TWRP recovery select Mount and enable MTP, you should be able to open internal storage or MicroSD on your PC
5. Transfer the downloaded One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip to Internal Storage or MicroSD
6. In recovery, select Install and select One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip then swipe to install
7. Reboot
Thank You.

It isnt working for you because you have to boot directly into recovery, you can't let the device boot to any other mode, if you boot to any mode other than recovery, a device will revert back to stock recovery. You are rebooting to bootloader mode instead of recovery mode, this is causing the device to revert to stock recovery instead of booting into the TWRP that you flashed.
After flashing TWRP, instead of using the fastboot reboot-bootloader command, use the adb reboot command, enter it as soon as you are done flashing the recovery.
Use the adb command below:
adb reboot recovery
Then you should boot into TWRP.

hey, thanks for helping me out, but i cant get adb to detect my device, if tried multiple drivers for my phone and cant seem to get it to detect, any help with this one? thanks. also, fastboot can detect my phone just fine. ive tried the official htc drivers using sync manager, android bootloader interface, android adb composite interface and android adb interface. any help is appreciated, thank you!
as a side note, while trying to resolve this myself i found a post that said it was very hard to break the phone with s-on, which gives me hope.

Ok, let's take a couple of steps back. Do you know if your bootloader is unlocked? Flashing TWRP won't work if the bootloader is locked.
@xunholyx, could there be something that is HTC specific that they are overlooking?

Do you have USB debugging turned on in developer options? ADB commands won't work if you don't.

It seems to have flashed properly with htc_fastboot.
Try flashing it again, then
htc_fastboot reboot bootloader
then select boot to recovery from the bootloader menu on your phone from there.
It should take you to TWRP
hey @xunholyx there is no command for that in the htc fastboot, just brings up the help menu for fastboot. would normal reboot from fastboot work? or would twrp be overwritten by stock recovery? thanks for the help.

It should work with regular fastboot reboot bootloader then selecting recovery from there via your phone
EDIT: I have never had to use HTC's fastboot myself. It is necessary for flashing large files from your PC. I always flashed the large files (eg: RUUs) via the SD card method. But that wasn't for recovery.img s, it was for RUUs
EDIT #2: I'm going to request to the moderators to have this thread moved to a forum where you might find other help. You don't have to do anything about it. It will just get moved. The forum I'm moving it to is for the regular M8 and not the M8s, but people there will be able to offer help that you won't get here. I'll continue to monitor this thread there and offer help if I can.
hey @xunholyx, sorry i havent been active, got burnt out on trying to fix it lol, but im back again.
found a way to use the normal fastboot to flash recovery (i think im no genius) using this command
c:\adb>fastboot flash:raw recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (30006 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.121s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.745s]
however when i use fastboot reboot or fastboot boot-bootloader ect, recovery just brings me back to fastboot. anyone any ideas?
i still cant adb to detect my device either. i know this might sound stupid but does my phone have to be in a specific state to use adb commands? i can only access the stock recovery so anything other then that and im screwed lol, thanks for the help!

Sorry I haven't responded sooner.
I would suggest you run an RUU. The problem is, I don't know of any RUUs myself for your current firmware version, and since you are S-On, you can't roll back to an older version.
If you can find an RUU for 2.11.161.1 download it and flash it. The only ones I can find are from a previous Android version. (1.xx.xxx.x)
Also, there is a newer TWRP version than the one you are using. Maybe that might be the issue? I can't be sure about this, since I'm familiar with the HTC M8, but not the HTC M8s.
You can download the updated TWRP version from here.
I believe it was updated to work with 2.xx.xxx.x firmware. But I'm not positive. It can't hurt to try it out.
hey @xunholyx i found a one that matches my os and my cidnum, now what do i do with it? also, i found it on this website, hopefully it will help a few others, https://www.hardreset.info/devices/htc/htc-one-m8/faq/firmware/

There's two there. I don't know what the difference between "partial" and the other one is. I would assume the partial one has the boot.img and maybe the recovery.img removed?
Use the other one. There are two ways to flash it since it is an RUU.zip.
#1: In fastboot: fastbbot flash zip **drag and drop the zip here**
#2: Rename the zip by deleting everything in the name of it except for 0PKVIMG (and .zip of course) and place that onto your extSD card (must be formatted to FAT32)
Put that into your phone then bot to bootloader. It should find the file automatically. If it doesn't, boot to hboot from boot loader.
From there it's super easy. Follow the on screen prompts. Volume up to confirm the flash. Power button to reboot after the flash is done.
Good luck! I hope you get everything up and running again.
