Ok, so my rooted, S-OFF device will not flash any rom. I always get "error executing updater binary in zip." What am I doing wrong? TWRP is version 2.7.0.0

What Roms have you tried? Run fastboot erase cache command and flash latest TWRP 2.7.1.0

I've tried Liquid Smooth and CM11. Aside from Goo Manager, I can update TWRP through fastboot right? I've only used Goo Manager, that's why I ask.

After a long string of flashing failures with this device, I'm needing to update the recovery.
Unfortunately after it let me downgrade the recovery, no matter what recovery I flash (CWM latest or TWM) for the HTC One X, the god damn older version is still there.
I've tried updating it through One X One Click and CWM itself. But I have no idea what's going wrong or what's needed to be done.
[Edit]
Okay, it seemed to install with no errors this time.
Now I just have to figure out why the heck it always displays "HTC quietly brilliant" forever.

so, which recovery did you install? which rom are you trying to install?
Recovery. Img is to be flashed through fastboot and not in recovery itself
Go in your fastboot folder
Open cmd there and give commands
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
And you're good to go :thumbup:

Hello,
I have the same problem;
I was on recovery CMW 6.0.4.4. I tried to update to 6.0.4.5 or philz. Fastboot says okay after install, but when I restart to recovery, recovery is still 6.0.4.4.
What I haven't done is erase cache. Could this be it? Cannot try for the moment because I'm at work.
Thanks

yes, it might be... try to flash again recovery and to erase cache after OKAY message...
I tried it again with fastboot and than erase cache : doesn't work
Than I copied the recovery zip file to sdcard and installed it through clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4. Everything installed ok but when I reboot recovery it is still 6.0.4.4?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The zip is of no use, the recovery.img has to be flashed via fastboot (s-on devices have no other choice) try to flash a different recovery to check that works. Maybe the recovery is a bad download
I've found the solution.
It was a problem with my fastboot extension.
Thanks anyway
Hi Guys,
I got into a bit trouble with my Hongkong version one x and hope someone can point me to the right direction.
I was trying to flash the cyanogenmod stable rom by following instructions provided on their website. I have unlocked my phone and have found that it's actually an s-off version as well.
The first step I took is to extract the boot.img from the installer zip and run fastboot flash boot boot.img from fastboot mode. This all went well. However, when I was trying to copy the zip file using the adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/ command, I got the no device found error. And my phone is stuck at HTC logo.
With the guidance of Thant, I have tried Clockworkmod 5.8.2.7 recovery and Philz recovery, but I got the same error when I tried to ADB side load rom in both recoverys.
Now I am totaly stuck. Does anyone know the boot.img in cyanogenmod stable rom contain, Kernal I assume? Is there anyway that I can flash the kernal of my old rom so I can at least get in Android?
My Hboot Screen
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqQHN9e6x81bnBQTEQ0aUUyWFk/edit?usp=sharing
-----------------------
Problem solved, all the thanks go to Thant.
Flashed philz recovery 5.15.9, mount sd card, copy rom to sd card, flash again latest Philz and flash the rom.
---------------------
The photos are not available...also try in fastboot fastboot erase cache and try again to boot into recovery...just hold power button and volume -
And if command writing failed try another recovery and which hboot do you have?

You must to flash custom recovery TWRP 2.7 or from CM11 one x forum inside have recovery and then to go in recovery and flash the rom
Second when you connect the phon try command fastboot devices and see if your phone is attachen if you dont see your phone install the google drivers from one thread from @and313 again here in the thread and then try again many people report problem with fastboot after flashing the boot.img from CM11 and on all of them is problem with the drivers

I have managed to flashed CM 11 recovery. tried TWRP 2.7 but touch screen doesn't work.
Now the problem that I am facing is to copy the zip file to SD card.
Tried using the fastboot push command but return the error device is not found. My Hboot version is 1.73.
Do you mind posing a link to the driver? I am using the latest driver in HTC sync manager.

Try to flash latest Philz recovery it is for kitkat rom and tuch work and maybe in your case the SD card mounting. If not try to flash 5.15.9 there sd card mounting work 100% copy the rom and flash again latest fil and flash the CM11 rom

Hi Thant, will you be able to point me to the Google driver? I have flashed the latest Philz recovery but still couldn't side load ROM. When I check the device manager, the android phone is not recognized.

you flash the recovery with command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img? and this finish with success? What you see when you write fastboot devices?

The flash was successful and I have entered the PhilZ recovery. Very nice interface.
Now back to fastboot, the screen shows FASTBOOT USB, which means it connected but when I run fastboot devices I got nothing, yet I can still flash any recovery I like. I am wondering if I can download the HongKong rom recovery anywhere so I can get into android and repeat the whole process.

Hi Folks,
I just flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0.1 via TWRP Manager and now I can't enter the Recovery.
TWRP Manager showed that I'm using the htc_m8 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p43.
Booting into the Bootloader and booting the ROM (ViperOne 1.3.1) works fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.
Download twrp from here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
Then using fastboot:
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then boot to recovery from bootloader

Hi Guys
2 question i can't seem to find the answer to.
I have 2 recovery version on my HTC one X. Both TWRP and CWM.
How do i uninstall the TWRP recovery version?
Also i tried updating CWM through the ROM Manager and after update the version number ROM Manager says i have dosent match the version number when i boot to Recovery? (maybe a Third Recovery partition)?
Any Ideas how to fix this so i ony have CWM and so i can update via ROM Manager.
Thansk in advance.
You can't have 2 recoveries ! You can't use Rom manager on a s-on device. You flash the desired recovery via fastboot commands

How come rom manager says i have both installed? Als when updating via rom manager the version numbers dont match?
Ditch Rom manager ! It does not work, that's why they don't match. Rom manager can not flash a recovery for you.

Which ROM and which cellphone are you using? You could try re-checking the MD5 and/or fastboot flash boot boot.img again in order to rectify the corrupt booting files if any.
