Put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and boot into HBOOT (not fastboot).
You may need a goldcard for it to work.

I was always in hboot, not in fastboot, so flashing didn't work(but devices did)
My bad

[Q] root failed, stuck on htc logo

OK, so i tried to unlock bootloader and root my htc one x. After this my phone is stuck on the htc logo on boot. I can get into the bootloader, here i tried the recovery and such, but guess i dont have anything to recover too. I can also get into clockwork mod. What i need help to do is to get a working rom over to my phone so i can flash it. When i do adb devices, it wont show my device. so how can i copy the rom.zip over to the phone to flsh it?
please help
Quinsy

At what point did it happen?
You can copy ROM over to your phone by tapping the "mounts and storage" and "mount usb storage" in recovey.

when i try to do that i get "E: unable to open ums linfile (No usch file or directory)."

You have CWM v.5.8.2.7 right? It's outdated. Flash this to fix usb mounting: link
To flash, do the following fastboot commands:
"fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
"fastboot erase cache"

My laptop couldn't recognize the phone so I manually rebooted to fastboot, then I entered "fastboot oem relock" and tried to flash but it did NOT work. Now all I have is a bootloader menu. I also tried this but it says that the Hboot version is older. H E L P

Relock the bootloader and install custom ROM ? And are you try this command fastboot " fastboot flash zip 0P9CIMG.zip" ?

The tampered just means that your phone was previously unlocked/rooted.
Follow all the instructions in the second part of THIS thread, making sure to use YOUR RUU file.
If that fails, re-unlock your bootloader, re-flash a custom recovery, and install custom ROM or a backup.
I have to ask, why did you decide to unroot and relock?
Also swearing isn't allowed on the forums in any way, don't try to get around it.

After it didn't work using CMD, I looked up the thread you linked and what do I see? You saying it should be done with the sdcard method haha, so I tried it that way and it worked. Thanks for all the help Drew.
I wanted to return to stock because of 3 reasons. I might be swapping my phone for an M7, because even though we have to wait till March/April, I do want that sweet, sweeeet Lollipop+Sense update (if the trade doesn't work), and because even though CM11 is stable, I got sick of it. CM12 has some minor bugs that just get on my nerves.

That's easy, if you wipe system partition in custom recovery, your Rom will be gone, you'll need to flash a nandroid backup (easy) or RUU (harder)to get it back

'(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found' error when trying to flash TWRP

Hello
Today I tried to flash TWRP on my Moto G5S because I wanted to use a custom ROM. While trying to flash TWRP on the phone, I got this error:

I have USB Debugging enabled, the bootloader is unlocked, and I'm using the latest version of TWRP (3.3.1.0) made for this phone.
I have never installed TWRP or anything similar before, so I don't know how to fix this. I have searched on Google, but no results are about this same problem. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please tell me how.
Thanks.

Hey,
I have the same issue, did you ever find a solution?

You must unlock first

You don't say
In the meantime I found the actual solution, here it is for the record : reboot from fastboot to fastbootd using "fastboot reboot fastboot"
And then the commands will work

Can you share that recovery image?
I couldn't find it in the Rom files.

For my 600th post on XDA, I offer this info in hopes it will help.
This one is T-mobile. Don't know if it will help ort harm but it works for me.
I don't have both hands right now; yoiu'll have to search for yourself on how to enter "EDL" mode and possibly an MSM (or is it MDM?) version of stock flashable file for your model and carrier, else maybe try the T-Mobile one at your own risk: Unbrick Tool for T-Mobile
GOOD LUCK

Did you find a solution ?

Download latest fastboot drivers.
From OS:
adb reboot fastboot
Or from bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
With devices launched on Android 10 there is a new interface called fastbootd, this is where you flash the system.

clearly. there is a difference between "old" fastboot (bootloader) and fastbootd (userspace fastboot to support dynamic partitions). You need to be in fastbootd to do most stuff nowadays.

So when you see people posting in their tutorial;
fastboot reboot fastboot
NOW we type in;
fastboot reboot fastbootd?

No, same command, but you need stock recovery for this to work (twrp prevents fastbootd entry)

I tried for days to get to work but for TMobile follow guide on here and if it doesn't work even after you install drivers and all then use a different PC bc I have 7t and 8t OnePlus and my 8t unlocked works on my gf PC and her 7t TMobile works on mine figured that out the hard way but it's truthfully a solution when everything won't work
