if recovery is from older version of rom is this also might be a reason of remote signature fail?

unlock your bootloader, how do you want to flash a recovery if your bootloader is locked.

i m trying to flash stock recovery... is it necessary to have an unlocked bootloader for stock recovery as well?

All things regarding flashing needs to be done with an unlocked bootloader. Except ruu files on a s-on system.

One X Bricked?

Hey guys,
I might be wrong here but this is my last hope.
Rooted my One X yesterday, tried to install a .zip so that annoying menu bar would go away.
Didn't word out well, got in a 'bootloop', decided to install the stock RUU, but im getting this ERROR 120 30% massage.. i already tried different stuff but nothing seems to work.
Then things got worse, decided to let it charge for a while, but now i can't even get in recovery mode, it redirects it to fastboot.
Thnx in advance
You will need to relock the bootloader to flash the stock ROM
From fastboot do "fastboot oem lock" then try again. Try flashing from Fastboot and if that doesn't work try bootloader.
Alternatively, flash custom recovery and try flashing over original versions of the whatever files you replaced with your modification.

Corrupt RUU?, try downloading it again...
Are you sure you downloaded the correct RUU for the region of your device?

If you are certain your ruu is for your region and not corrupted then from http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...o-get-error-120-battery-less-than-30-a-2.html
Try this
Running Windows 7:
Make sure battery is over 30% (but that's why we're here, isn't it? It IS over 30%) Turn phone off Take battery out for a minute, then replace the battery DO NOT turn phone back on Plug into USB Hold VOL DOWN button and press the power button for 5 Seconds but don't let go of VOL button Make sure the choice FASTBOOT is highlighted and press the power button to select it You should see FASTBOOTUSB up top Stay on this screen while you go to your computer Exit HTC Sync if it's running, wait a minute, then open HTC Sync again, see if it connects (Mine didn't connect to sync, but I left the window open in the bkgrd) Open the updater and go through the steps. Update should begin without error message.
Hope this works for you guys. I tired countless ways to do it before breaking down and calling in. This way worked the first time for me.

If you relocked you also need to flash boot.img in fastboot from the stock rom you want to use.
Extract the ruu.exe and take the boot.img out, flash it using the adb tools and fastboot.

To extract contents from an RUU, do this.
Run the desired RUU
Go to search and type in '%temp%' (without the quotes)
A folder named 'temp' will appear, open that, and search in it for 'rom.zip'
Open the zip, and extract what u jeed from there.
And hit thanks!
Sent from my HTC One X
@TheNetherTukkers, extract the boot_signed.img as theDroidfanatic beautiful explains.
Attached I have the adbtools, extract and put the folder on your desktop's c:\ together with boot_signed.img
So you have c:\adbtools\
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
boot_signed.img
Now put your device in fastboot mode and connect to your pc.
In start\search on your pc type 'cmd' without the quotes and hit enter.
In the command window that pops up browse to c:\adbtools and type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img [hit enter]
fastboot erase cache [hit enter]
After this you go into fastboot again and flash the ruu.
got this,

I dont think its branded.. i mean i got it from Vodafone (holland) but i dont see a special RUU for that anywhere so i figured i had the genereal european version.
You must be sure about that because there do exist Vodafone updates.
Have a look HERE at the bottum, Vodafone roms for several countries. No Dutch dho.
Did you buy the phone straight from Vodafone or did you use a retailer?
Maybe you could check with them?

bootloader won't unlock (Too many links)

Okay, so i was just scrolling through my apps, then my phone randomly restarts, and wont go past the HTC Beats screen, and when it does, the screen is just black.
So i restart into bootloader, and it says "Locked" at the top, so it appears its relocked itself?
WHAT DO I DO? WAS rooted and running Revolution HD-9.8 ROM.
Thanks

The most important thing you didn't tell is that the RUU flashed successfully, and that the phone didn't boot up. And that your bootloader goes from unlocked to LOCKED instead of relocked as it should......

Is your recovery CWM or stock? If you were running ARHD I suppose you had a custom recovery aswell?
As far as i know RUU won't work until you flash stock recovery.
Hope this helps

Yes that's an option, but i tested a ruu once with custom recovery,kernel and rom and it worked flawlessly ! The main problem at this moment is that he flashes the .bin code and that the bootloader remain locked ! The commands are correct, but it refuses to unlock ......

Did he try to flash a custom rom despite the fact the boorloader says locked? Maybe it just says locked but is actually unlocked? Happend to me once and after rebooting into bootloader after flashing it said unlocked... dont ask why, just happened...
Yes i believe he tried that too, got faile attempt remote not allowed error.....he rebooted the bootloader a couple of times and it said unlocked indeed, maybe that's the solution....keep rebooting the bootloader untill it says unlocked and then start flashing directly
Its giving me a headache ..... Been thinking about this for 2 days already

You don't need to flash anything to use an ruu. The only thing that you need is a locked bootloader.
As the other user said. It may be reporting status wrongly. If you're going to try the ruu again. I suggest running fastboot OEM lock first just to make sure

Another thing ! If you bootloader says LOCKED you should also have full warranty !! If nothing else helps its best to go to the htc service center

as long as you are s-off you can use any of the RUU. But if you do use the older ones, you will need to update OTA to the latest or VZW will know.

I'm basically stuck here since it wont boot up into the rom. I'm guessing that we'll have to RUU it to 4.10.505.3?

I'm in a situation with my HTC One m7 4.4.3 Verizon where:

- su no longer available due to OTA upgrade
Does anyone know how I can once again unlock my bootloader?

2. flash custom recovery TWRP using fastboot, but I'm getting FAILED (remote: not allowed) error, probably due to I'm still in locked bootloader.
3. tried running Sunshine, but it thinks that I'm already rooted and is looking for su.

s-off > unlocked bootloader. you dont need the bootloader unlocked to flash recovery. If you are s-off you have full control of phone.
what command are you using to flash recovery? when you do "fastboot devices" in bootloader what does it say?

Thanks much.
If I understand it correctly, flash RUU will wipe out the phone completely, is it true?
I'm holding this method off as the last resort to try after I exhaust all other options.

if you do a full firmware it will wipe. this should be JUST recovery. But i would recommend backing up internal storage. I have not tried this method.

I think you're correct on having hboot unlocked. I'm used to engineering hboots from the past. Where it was required to unlock before flashing recovery. With the standard hboot, I guess you need to flash the insecure boot IMG, so you write to system then install su to unlock. Glad you got it working though.
Happy flashing.

The other way that I have success by using temp root Towelroot. After rooted I use scooty menthod to lock/unlock bootloader without htcdev. From ADB with code from Scooty I can get unlock bootloader. From this step I can flash TWRP and SuperSU. Zip

[Q] Updating bootloader und er CM12

Okay guys i think i really ****ed up this time...
A few weeks ago I got so excited about the release of lollipop I installed a port the first day it was available... It went well and I got everything working on first try even battery was good on this one...
Now to the problem: I wanted to update today by installing cm12 on my HTC (international), after downloading it I went full chuck Norris and made a full while without making a Nandroid backup... So i go to install from SD and select the cm12 zip and an error occurs: you need bootloader 3.18.00 or so...
OK I thought just install the old room that worked.. ****... I deleted it a while ago when reseting my PC and I don't know which one it was... Tried 4 different rooms now and every one tells me to update my bootloader..
Does anyone know how to update the bootloader under cm 12 and with s-on?? Tried installing a sense rom but they don't work (no WiFi, no data nothing) I think it's because of the partitions under cm11 and 12...
I searched everywhere but can't find anything that works.. Pleaaase help me
Thx

Witch recovery version ?
You could fastboot flash a different recovery like Philz touch recovery put a backup from @Mr Hofs thread on your external sdcard and restore from it.or using a different recovery try a stock ROM

I tried a stock rom (Revolution) but nothing worked because the partitions were wrong (i think)...
Do you think installing a backup through Philz will work?
[Edit] can't find mentioned backup, do you have a link maybe? [Edit]
[Edit 2] Do you think one of those will work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 [Edit]
@AustrianAtheist
Your trying to use a stock recovery to flash a ROM?
Twrp is 2.8.4.0 right now,if your having partition issues than try a GPE ROM using a custom recovery

no in had PhilZ installed... i think i really ****ed up..
so here's my problem:
I managed to install a newer firmware version through RUUs even tho I'm S-on, but after installing it i went to bootloader and it's still relocked (had to do it) but now, i can't unlock it anymore because it says:
c:\miniadb_m7>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
target reported max download size of 1830612992 bytes
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.114s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
finished. total time: 0.125s
please help me... i can't install a rom without unlocking the bootloader and nothing is installed on my phone so i can't boot into anything except bootloader

Are you using the original unlock.bin file or have you tried going through HTC website again.
I know you want it fixed ASAP but I need the information
I'm an idiot...
Des i downloaded the .bin file again but I didn't move the file to the adb directory... God... I'm so embarrassed right now
I made it through the unlock process again and installed twrp again and now that I'm on 3.18 hboot I managed to install cm12
But sadly I can't install a 4.4 sense ROM because there's no RUU for my cid (austria) so I can't update further, but at least I got cm12 running
Thx dude
:good:
