some advice please

hi
last night i tried to install android revolution HD 14.1 jellybean on my one x.
i unlocked the bootloader and put clockwork recovery on. I then created a backup through cwr just in case anything went wrong.
I then followed the guide on here to install the rom.
long story short it got stuck in a boot loop. I obviously didn't put the right boot.img file.
i still had access to recovery etc and continued to search online for solutions.
I decided to try and install the rom again.
so i relocked the bootloader and rebooted. i opened command prompt and typed in " fastboot oem rebootRUU" but i get (bootloader) (ERR) command error !!!
what do i do?

Did you update your HBOOT before you unlocked your bootloader?
What is your current HBOOT version?
Have you flashed the correct boot.img for ARHD 14.1?
We need a little more info on what you have done and/or not done.

You need to update your HBOOT to the latest one using this tool,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
You need to put your unlock tiken and Boot.img in the same unzipped file as the firmware flasher stuff. Boot your phone into fastboot, start the .bat file and let it do it's thing, it will talk you through each step as it's doing it. Then you just need to flash the rom in recovery. Make sure your CID is on the list in the first page

Batt at least 50% but best to full charge. You shouldn't need an ruu for this

ok, so i've updated hboot to 1.31. and unlocked the bootloader again. but now i can't flash recovery, i get FAILED Commaned write failed, unknown error.
what do i do now?

Probably best to flash the recovery and boot.img through fastboot manually and then Rom through recovery.

Well I think so 'cause for flashing ROM it needs to be S-Off and I didn't turn it back to S-On, to be sure where do I check it?

This is not true. Unlocked and S-On can still flash ROMs.

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.

[Q] Unlocked bootloader with wrong file

So I just spent the last couple hours trying to root my phone. Only to realize that when I unlocked the bootloader i requested the wrong unlock.bin file. Instead of selecting the htc m8 file, I selected all other supported devices. I don't know if this is the cause of my problem, but since I can't reboot to bootloader, I feel that it is. Is the solution as simple as relocking the bootloader and then unlocking it with the correct unlock.bin file. Or can i just get the correct file and unlock it again. I don't know if any of it will work since the phone won't go into the bootloader. Thought I would as people that know more than me before I brick my phone.

Getting all the stock files from here and then using your cpu to flash everything you should be fine.

Ok, Thought I would have to be able to reboot to bootloader in order to flash but I will give that a try. Was there supposed to be a link or did you just mean "from here" as in the xda site?

So I've been reading around and come across some conflicting info. So I finally found the fastboot command to lock the bootloader but some have said to flash the stock ruu first while others say after. Can anyone clear this up for me and let me know if it makes a difference?

S-OFF - no need to relock the bootloader, just run the appropriate RUU
S-ON - relock the bootloader and then run the appropriate RUU
cheers.

Thanks for the help. I think I can handle this now. Is it worth it to go S-off? I'm gonna root once I am back to stock

Quick reattack on this. I never actually went away from stock. As I couldn't get into the bootloader I never flashed twrp or anything so do I really need to flash the stock RUU? Just trying to figure out for knowledge purposes. Am I basically flashing the RUU to start over from scratch or is it just a precautionary thing?

Vzw radio img download?

I've got my phone unlocked, rooted and S-off now I just need the vzw radio but dottat took down his links. Does anyone have it still on their pc and mind sending it to me?

bump because I changed question

you can download the latest ruu from my signature, itll get you the latest radio and firmware. you will have to reinstall twrp afterwards though to reroot. only way I can help you out. it wont effect s-off or unlocked bootloader, and also wont wipe data.

Look up what firmware is, it should be easy to find answer.
RUU is firmware + ROM.
ROM Upgrade Utility
If you are on custom ROM, this saves a step. Also when new OTA hits you can flash firmware and stay on your ROM of choice.
