I wanted to flash LeeDroid's rom. After I flashed the boot image I realized that I haven't put the rom into the root of the phone's storage! silly me. I tried rebooting the system but it won't boot. Then I tried the unbrick methods on the forum but found no luck. At last I tried relocking it and restore it using RUU but it still won't work! It is saying that I got the wrong version of RUU, but where can i find the RUU for 1.28? Hope someone can help!!

What country are you in, which network are you on and did you buy your phone sim free?
If you go into fastboot mode and then boot into CWM using the command:
fastboot boot <CWM img file>.img
You'll then be able to use adb to push the rom zip onto your device which you can then flash with CWM.
If the RUU says you have the wrong version you probably have the RUU for another region/carrier.
It's pretty much impossible to permanently brick the one x (without s-off) so don't worry, you'll get it working eventually.
Thanks man. I am in Hong Kong and i am pretty sure it is sim free. after I tried running the RUU i have relocked the bootloader. for some reason I can't even get into recovery right now! When I try the RUU it saids the image version is 1.28.708.10 and I get error140

You can't install the 1.26 RUU after you've updated hboot with the 1.28 OTA.
Try installing this RUU: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257077_signed.exe, it's the same region but a newer version.
Flash the stock 1.28 recovery image and relock your bootloader before trying to install the RUU.
The 1.28 recovery image can be found here: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/Asia_1.28_RUU/recovery_signed.img

Thanks so much!!
but i have already relocked the bootloader without flashing the recovery image ... would that make a difference?
If the RUU runs successfully then don't worry about it, if it throws another error then flash the stock recovery and try again.

Hi guys,
I have a rooted one X and want to install he latest update. I tried to relock my bootloader by starting fastboot and then type:
" fastboot oem relock"
Now my phone should be relocked and it does show relocked in pink in the bootloader, but under that stands security warning I don't kno if thats normal or important or something. I rebooted my phone and downloaded the update but when i try to install it i still get into the bootloader.
What am I doing wrong and how do I unlock my bootloader again after the update?
Sascha
You unlock by flashing the unlock_code.bin file again like you first did.
To apply an ota update you also need to reflash the stock recovery

Okay I unlocked my bootloader flashed my recovery.img and relocked my bootloader again. But still it reboots into the bootloader. Could it be my backup of the recovery.img is already wrong?? and if so where can i get the right one
My phone:

I Relocked the bootloader and got back to stock recovery.. But while updating i have an error.. Phone with red square on him..
Idk what i'm doing wrong. i have status relocked.. Maybe something wrong with stock recovery?

It returns me to bootloader))
You can try to following download stock recovery and download the RUU of your phone ( the same version as your latest official update ) then go to fastboot
Type
Fastboot flash recovery "your stock recovery " .img
Hit enter
Fastboot flash OEM lock
This might give an error but when you type it again it wil work
Now put your phone in fastboot again and then start your RUU from your pc if it gives an error just search for another One it will take about 10 min but after your phone will work fine
Hope it helps

tks man!
You need to relock your bootloader (if you haven't already) and run THIS RUU.
The problem is that the version of software you're running (2.17) is newer than the RUU you're trying to install (1.29). you can't revert to an older RUU. you can only flash the same version or newer.
Once you've flashed the RUU, you'll be able to download and install the JB OTA.

You don't need stock recovery to flash an RUU. You just need a locked or relocked bootloader, and a less or equal main-version.
Once you run an RUU, you will have stock everything(including recovery) and will be able to install whatever OTAs are available.
Well I am currently running Team Venom's Viper but I have HBOOT 1.31. My device's CID is HTC_J15.
I have checked the list of RUUs but unfortunately all of them are older than the version I need, which has to be 3+.
Does anybody know if there's an RUU available for my device? It is an ubranded WWE version, 401 if I remember correctly.

In my experience the 2.17.707.xx RUU Asia WWE does not work properly. It does its thing installing everything, relocks the bootloader but somehow it does not reflash the recovery. After 4 hours trying everything under the sun, I gave up and looked for a nandroid of 2.17 for CID_044 and restored from that, reflashed stock recovery and went to town with the OTA.
That's very strange, no such problem when I did the same thing. You'd think it would throw an error or something if a component of the image failed to flash.
Glad you managed to figure it out!
Did you run it when your bootloader was unlocked? Maybe that's the problem? I ran it with the bootloader relocked and didn't ahve any problems. I was under the impression you couldn't run an RUU with an unlocked bootloader, but haven't tried it myself.
Refer custom to stock thread posted earlier. Go through step by step procedure. It will help u to be on stock Rom. After that flash any Rom suitable to your CID only

What I did... NOTHING else...
Only Reboot the phone...wait to initialize completely, then reboot again, when came a little update about 1.25mb...installed and reboot...after that...JB update installed correctly.
If someone else needs...Someone like me who relocked the phone waiting for JB and Has problems
1. Unlock Phone
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (from nandroid 2.17)
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (from nandroid 2.17)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. restart bootloader (I like to do this way)
6. Install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed on windows
7. Wait to boot completely, then restart phone.
8. Update Software ...a little update came before JB. (about 1.25mb)
9 Reboot phone.
10. Update Software... finally to JB.
Thanks guys!

The RUU ran with no problem, and it relocked my bootloader, but it still did not receive any OTAs. So I had no choice but to do a nandroid restore instead (recommended anyway )
dear all
i m trying to install an OTA updae for my original HTC M8 firmware, the OTA update i am trying to install since along time is ( 3.28.401.9 ) which is 73.96 MB, i have stock recovery, and when i donload the OTA update and try to install with stock recovery, it proceeds for almost 30% only and i see the green arrown, then it turns red and i cant proceed installation, i am doing this so i can get the lolipop update later.
know that my phone is rooted and boot loader is opened.
Tell me exactly what the state of your device is when you look at your bootloader.

That last photo shows you have modified your system partition. You won't be able to take the OTA with /system modified. Are you using Xposed? If you are, you need to open Xposed and uninstall any modules you have, then uninstall Xposed itself.

And this is obviously a wrong advise.
There is no need to relock bootloader for OTA.
Relocked bootloader is needed only for installing RUU and manual firmware flashing on S-On device.
I see your device is S-Off, you can try to install a RUU, keep in mind that your RUU must match your CID, but you can change your CID always if you want. I have superCID so I can install every RUU file.
thanks guys
i haven't installed exposed, but i think i installed sun plus o turn S-ON to S-OFF
i wish i could install original OTA.
i already relocked my bootloader.
so the only option for me is to install via RUU, is there anyway or a chance to use OTA udates and remove modified system ?

Let's not confuse the ota with a full ruu. So my question is :
1: did you flash the ruu (full rom update utility)
2: flashed the ota (smaller size file, pure update to the existing software)
?
I had the same problem as the OP..So i tried to restore just the system from my back up using CWM..Now im stuck at the HTC logo screen after the reboot. Im not sure what to do.
That wasn't the ota you just flashed. That was an RUU which completely wipes everything. I hope you realise it's also wiped your internal memory too?

I couldnt flash the OTA...I got the red exclamation. So I tried to restore the system (using advanced restore)because I had put up the adblock. After which I was stuck in the loading screen.
Anyway I did a complete restore and flashed the stock recovery. Now its updating from the Eye Update.
Thanks for the quick reply though!

Why are you relocking bootloader while you're S-OFF?
Relocking bootloader for flashing RUU is needed only on S-ON devices.

Yeah i went back to stock unrooted and flashed the stock recovery from your ruu post and then relocked the bootloader but whenever i try to install the update, it doesnt boot into the recovery. It goes straight to the bootloader i think im going to run the ruu zip you provided and then try again.

i can't use this
this edited platform.xml so install update abort when around 10-15%
Yeah, same thing is happening to me. My bootloader is unlocked, and the phone is unrooted. I'll download the update, but whenever I hit install, it'll go to the install page, and the green bar starts loading, then it goes to the pre-recovery screen thing with the red triangle with the exclamation point. So I've tried two things. Number one is pressing and holding the volume up and tapping the power button, which gets me to the stock recovery screen. It says that the update was aborted. So I go and restart the device. This seems to have deleted the update, so I have to download it all over again. I do that, then install. Again, I get to the triangle ! screen, so instead, I press and hold both the power button and volume up (which is basically the equivalent of a battery-pull. I get the same result. The update has to download again. What do I do? I was contemplating locking the bootloader and even factory reseting the device. I've kind of been waiting for this update since 5.0 was released period, so I would like some guidance as to what to do next. Oh, and just for helps-sake, I'm using a mac, not a pc. I don't own a pc, only an iMac, and this MacBook Pro.
Anyone know what's going one? Please do help
Thanks!

After flashing stock recovery and relocking bootloader you need to flash RUU with your CID number.To find out your CID number install CID Getter from Play Store.After you find out your CID number you need to download RUU.And that is hard part of problem... I didn't find my RUU anywhere on web,but you maybe will have better luck.
When you have your RUU just rename file in OP9CIMG.zip and put it in to your sd card.After booting into bootloader phone will search for OP9CIMG.zip file and if CID number is same on phone that file will be flashed.

k, my CID is HTC J_15.. How could I find my RUU now?
My VMUSA 816 is still upgrading, but it looks like the solution for some people will be running the last version of ruu???.exe from HTC for your particular version of the 816 before downloading and installing the OTA update for Lollipop. Before running the ruu???.exe file the OTA would just reboot into the bootloader. Note that you should run ruu even if you already have that rom version installed. I already was running 1.50.652.3 but the OTA just wouldn't work. So the ruu just reflashed a clean version of the same rom.
As others have done I unrooted, installed stock recovery and then relocked bootloader before running ruu???.exe and installing OTA update for Lollipop.
The reason flashing a stock recovery would work before is because when doing a smaller update that stayed within kitkat it didn't do an entire system check, when upgrading to lollipop it checks EVERYTHING so the only way it'll install is having a nice fresh stock ROM from an RUU with a locked bootloader and stock recovery.
If s-offed is it necessary to relock bootloader?

Did you check the HTC site yet? Look for ROM updates there first. I assume they have country specific sites that will list ROMs for your region. For me in they show all their ROMs for US carriers.
