[Q] 1.29 update failed

I have a bootloader unlocked HTC one X running on 1.28. I got the 1.29 update notification today, but it kept failing when I try to install it. I am on Clockworkmod. It says cannot mount SD card. And I renamed it and deleted the assert cid thing, it failed without a reason.
And I tried to flash back to stock recovery, it still did not work. Do I really need to lock the bootloader to get this work? That's so troublesome.
Anyone can help me? Thank you very much in advance.

You need to flash stock recovery. bootloader doesnt matter. Are you in europe?

as far as i did my last OTA am on a branded phone. I restored my backup stock rom installed stock recovery and downloaded the OTA and installed fine. No need to relock bootloader or anything else. have you tried rebooting your phone and trying again? or have you flashed the proper stock recovery mate

Doesn't work for me either,puted the stock restore,i even relocked my bootloader and still nothing,it doesn't seem to work,i will try to update trough recovery mode,hope that will work.

Same here, any solutions

I don't think that i will try to update to 1.29 anymore,i read on a site that 1.30 will be lauched very soon,so i will try to update to 1.30 when it will came up.I don't know what else to do,i mean,i've tryed everything and still no luck with this update.

I have exactly same issue as you,but what I think if its be realise of 1.30 for us be same problem if we don't find any solution now.

I'm in Japan. I've tried that, nothing worked.

Mine is unbranded. I've tried all of them. I've had enough of it.

It won't work. Don't waste your time.

No solutions seemed to work so far. My choice is to ignore it.

Yes, me too. No more 1.29.

Same here, was 1.28 and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. Tried CWM method but doesn't work and hope someone will have solution to this.

I have same problems i surf a lot today,and I find that my problem is that 1.29 Update CID is different from my phone CID. U can get u CID by cidgetter from store. And if u try to flash update by cwm it shows what Phone CID's supporting update witch u have. Just try to check this guys,thats what i find and my opinion it should work.
I think my solution to find update witch supports HTC__001 CID

So basicaly you are saying to download the update and then reboot the phone,enter in recovery mode (cwm) and then try to flash the 1.29 update that we've downloaded?i allready tryed that and it doesn't work,gives me an error and stops.if it's a CID problem can't we just put our HOX CID into the update?i think that i've seen somewhere on xda a metod to do that but i don't remember in which topic.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

if it possible to change CID in update,so yeas its solution witch we need. But I don't know how to do it.

I think we will skip the 1.29 update and wait for the next one.I'v just read on the forum that version 1.32 was released (nothing confirmed yet,just some pc screenshots),maybe that version will work.I will check periodicaly for the 1.32 update and see if it works.

I found a thread talking about deleting the lines about CID in a update-script file or something similar. I've tried that, but still ended up with error. I am going to give up.

Did any of you flashed something on 1.28?I am thinking that after i updated to 1.28 i flashed the 3 dot removal.Maybe this is the cause that the update fails?

I haven't flashed anything,just rooted flashed cwm and superU. No updates gonna work for us till we get S-OFF its just one solution. Follow guys in S-OFF Discussion they progressed a lot on it. If they crack our S-ON to S-OFF we can do with our phones whatever we want to do. And install whatever we want to install including updates. Now just wait...

Stuck on starting screen... (bricked?)

Hey guys,
fairly new to this all and it seems I have messed up at some point...
I managed to root my phone and i do have TWRP on it and wanted to install a rom (blade elite 1.1). went into bootloader and flashed the boot.img with the tool, then went into recovery, cleared all the caches/factory reset/system and flashed the rom which i had previously copied onto my sd card. then i pressed reboot. It didnt start up for a few minutes so i kind of panicked and went into recovery again. I had made a backup previously, which I then restored. But it's still stuck on the screen where it sais htc one on the white screen with the beats audio thing on the bottom... Waited for around 20 mins. I can still get into recovery, so I'm hoping not all hope is lost.
What do I do now? :/ Do I have to flash the stock kernel or something first before I can restore with twrp?
Please help :/ I kinda really need my phone...
Oh yeah I forgot one thing. The tool said "error: device not found" in the first cmd window when I flashed the kerel, but when I clicked it away a second one popped up and it said it flashed correctly. It did the same thing when I flashed twrp and thats definitely on my phone, so Im guessing it has flashed the kernel correctly. Just thought I'd mention that.
fastboot getvar version-main
gave me:
2.17.401.2

aaaalright.
I installed fastboot, found the correct ruu for my device, relocked the bootloader and installed the ruu and my phone is now up and running again! and i feel like a genius :S
however! something went wrong and I would like to know where my mistake was. i still want that custom rom!
since i installed the ruu, that means everything is gone again right? no unlocked bootloader, no root, no twrp? so ill just use the tool again to get that back?
quick question for that. will i need a new token id and register again, or can i use the old one?
its 5:30am here and i'll need to get some sleep now... maybe i can get it tomorrow. still appreciating any help !

Your hboot is to low, you need to update. Since you used the ruu, go into settings - about menu and update the phone with the software update utility.
You are still on ICS and need to update to JB.

You can also update your Hboot yourself by check your cid number using this app

And upgrade your Hboot manually or by using a tool like this one here (you'll need to put the correct Hboot in the relevent folder of the app first!)

Hope this helps.

Easiest is to update with the official ota now as he already installed the ruu
And yes you can use the old unlock code again

HTC M8 problem, won't boot. Need help!

Hello, I need some serious help with my friends HTC m8.
We unlocked the phone of my friend and wanted to install a custom recovery. After installing TWRP latest version everything still worked fine, the device still booted normally. After that we tried to install the GPE ROM of the M8 through TWRP without realizing the phone isn't s-off. By itself the installation failed and we just rebooted the device and saw that it wouldn't boot anymore, it was stuck on the boot screen, even though it aborted the installation because the MD5 numbers weren't matching.
Now we don't know what to do, the M8 won't boot and is s-on. We tried downloading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563 the stock file and pushing the update by renaming the zip file to 0P6BIMG.zip but gave us the error "halted due to large image update fail". So this didn't help us either
CiD of the device = HTC_E11
After all we're just idiots by not researching enough before doing anything. Hopefully some experienced people can help us out!
Thanks in advance,
Pepie.

Firstly, I don't think it has anything to do with "not researching" enough but more to do with NOT reading what you "researched" already. You post a link to the RUU .zip that you wanted to use and obviously haven't picked up on the fact that the OP in that thread specifically stated: S-Off is Required with Eurpean CID right after admitting that you are NOT S-OFF.
Secondly: You don't need S-OFF to flash a custom ROM. You just need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, that's it. You'll need S-OFF to fully convert the device to GPE though, as it makes changes to partition sizes.
Try to get back into bootloader again. Hold Volume UP + Power for 10 seconds the moment the feel a vibration and/or screen goes dark immediately hold Power + Volume Down to enter bootloader. You should still have TWRP on the device you didn't mention anything about taking it off. Head over to the RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection grab a nandroid backup for your device. Unpack it and place it inside the TWRP backup folder on your device. If you don't have one, make a backup of just "Boot" it'll then create the path for you.
Once done, restore the nandroid. That'll take you back to "stock" then.
Else, just place a custom ROM on the SDcard enter TWRP again and try to flash a custom ROM again.
What ROM did you try to flash? Perhaps give the link...
Oh and remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from the SDCard else it'll just keep on trying to flash it through HBoot.

Bricked my HTC 10, What to do next?

Hey everyone, so I am pretty sure I bricked my HTC10.
To Start off my specs are the HTC 10 Unlocked version
htc_pmewl
CID: BS_US001/BS_US002
MID: 2PS650000
OS: 1.80.617.1
OpenDSP: 18.2.8996.00524_0321
(orignially Stock ROM)
I was trying to reset everything to stock settings before I returned the phone (Unrooting, Locked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, etc) and everything was going fine until after I rewrote the S-OFF flag to S-ON (I'm pretty sure it happened there, maybe when I relocked the bootloader?). Now I don't have a ROM, the CID and MID's are missing on the fastboot (download-mode) page. The Bootloader is relocked, and I have a stock recovery.
I tried going here to get the RUU's and everything to fix what I had done. However the RUU.exe gives me a error 120 Low Battery when I run it (Even though I have a fully charged battery). I tried going to a different PC to run the RUU, but the RUU never runs past the initial install.
I also tried re-unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall TWRP and flash that way. Unlocking went fine, but when I try to flash the twrp img via fastboot I get an error (9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL recovery and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED).
I'm really at my wits end here. I haven't actually done anything this stupid in all of my customizing my M8, S6, Razr or all my tablets so I honestly don't know what to do. If you guys could throw me a lifeline I'd be grateful.
Thanks

Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?

See if you can get a system.img to flash manually. If you can get an OS boot you should be able to fix your device.

Using the adb shell command (recovery --wipe_data)? Yeah I've tried that, but I get a device not found error. adb isn't working right now, however I am still able to get fastboot commands, and the phone recognizing them at least. Otherwise, no I haven't what would I need to do?

@tw1tch175 is right. Try to find an untouched system image first and try to flash it in download mode.
Could you in addition tell a bit more about what you did to reset the device to stock instead of flashing a RUU in the first place prior to writing secureflag 3!? And further more what did you do prior to it, did you flash unsigned firmware, or one of the "no red text on boot" aboot provided here!?

Are you making sure you are in download mode for fastboot commands. Also double check your driver in the device manager.
Edit: woops re-read, and he meant use the UI in the factory recovery to reset

Sure. I originally ran the factory wipe/reset via the ROM (Which was the stock rom). Then after that I booted up into the download mode, tried relocking the bootloader with fastboot oem lock. I also flashed the stock recovery for my model. Once I saw that I had the stock recovery on, the bootloader was locked, and everything else, I tried to do a twrp restore and relock it, but it wasn't working so I said "Screw it" and rewrote the secureflag, rebooted and...yeah everything was gone.
The only thing I did before all of this was when I got the phone unlock the bootloader, SOFF, Custom Recovery, and sideload super SU for root. The only "unofficial" radios/firmware/etc I had was the Verizon Radio on my phone.
Other than that I kept it clean. I'm looking for an image now to try that.

Yes. I just figured that out while searching haha. I did go through and use the UI, but I had no luck. I am looking for an img like you said but I am not having luck so far. Is there one of the Stock guide on my original post?

Ok so for ALL HTC the only proper way to s-on is to use fastboot/download and for oem writesecureflag 3, you should NEVER EVER EVER us echo/dd /hexeditor to go s-on.
For 2016+ phones, you should use sunshine or another tool to go from unlock/relocked to lock, do NOT use anything not designed for the phone in question, or attempt to do it manually. I can only vouch for SunShine's capability to safely change the bootloader status, I can't vouch for any other method or tool. I know SunShine does it right.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/psa-htc-10-s-off-s-lock-unlock-t3371264 for my PSA on the subject.
If the phone won't flash with a proper RUU, well you need to find someone with a EMMC write tool to rewrite all your firmware, this is probably going to run $100-200.

So as I thought. You indeed flashed - at least parts - of an unofficial firmware. Prior to relocking the bootloader with SunShine, as well as setting S-ON you should've taken care that ALL its stock. A simple factory reset in the ROM settings wasn't enough.
I'd guess that the wrong radio led to a problem when booting with stock recovery of your ROM, relocked bootloader and secureflag set to S-ON.
If I saw it correctly all RUUs for your device are *.exe files. Best would be to extract the ROM.zip from this exe, using 7zip, rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip, place it on an external SDCard (formatted extFAT or FAT32) and reboot to download mode, to give it a shot.
Hope this will help.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. Wouldn't have been the only thing that slipped my mind. I lost access to my Steam authenticator too. I was able to get the zip from the exe file like you said, after I put that on an SD card and boot to download mode do I just fastboot flash zip?

If there's one thing I remember when using Sunshine to go S-OFF on two different HTC 10's it was that it mentioned something about going S-ON and how something wasn't guaranteed, I forget what exactly, but if I remember correctly I understood it as you shouldn't go back to S-ON because it wasn't guaranteed to work or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That is in regards to wiping data, earlier versions of sunshien wiped data on all htc 10 going s-off, thats not the issue here. Issue here is he improperly set the phone lock/s-on. Gotta use sunshine to set it locked, and fastboot to set s-on.

Hey Everyone just wanted to give an update since yesterday evening.
Just wanted to give out some props to @5m4r7ph0n36uru . Following his advice of extracting the Rom.zip from RUU .exe I was able to run it in download mode and loaded up an OS on the phone. So Now I am unbricked! Yay. I had to find out how to do that using process monitor and everything, but it was a success. and I can breathe easy. Thankfully doing that was easier that doing the Database call handler stuff from today at work XD
Thankfully my lesson is learned and I'll flash correctly to full stock next time. Thank you all for your help in the matter.

Hello,
Just to inform that if I try to run RUU.exe from PC when the phone is in bootloader menu, I get battery low error. However, if I "boot to download mode" in the bootloader menu, I can run the RUU.exe from the computer without any error.

Bricked HTC 10 unlocked

So this is the whole story:
I rooted my 10 and it was all good but when I restarted my phone, it told me to decrypt phone but there was no keyboard. So after resetting my phone in twrp, i got passed the decrpt but still no keyboard.
at this point I tried doing RUU but got error 155, then relocked bootloader and tried again but still didn't work.
So now I'm at this point my 10 won't even boot passed the HTC powered by android screen.
So can anyone help me? I don't know if this would work but does anyone have a twrp backup of the stock rom i can recover with?
Edit: got it to work.

I encountered the same thing, I solved it by flashing a keyboard zip through twrp, I think it was SwiftKey. If you re-locked your bootloader, I suggest you unlock it again and change your CID to SuperCID, and make sure your MID matches as well. You should be able to flash the RUU then.

So to make my CID into superCID i have to s off , my question is what do you mean to make sure my MID matches? matches with the superCID?
Edit: nvm got RUU to work, for now anyway, its working.

format data in twrp and install another rom
