Stuck on bootloop

If anyone would help me urgently I would really appreciate it
This is what happened, I was trying to installed the 3 dot mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506
I initially got these errors when trying to install it
I tried to use adb remount as it said in the guide but it said
remount failed: operation not permitted
I also tried adb shell sysrw and it gives me the following error
/system/bin/sd: sysrw: not found
I have directed the CMD to the platform-tools directory using CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
The phone is switched on and USB debugging is enabled, can anybody tell me what I am missing?
P.S. I am rooted and have got SuperSU installed.
Thanks anyone who helps me!

Then I went on to reboot the system but now what happens is I am stuck in a bootloop, I do have a backup i made from CWM before any of these problems happened but it's on my PC, how can I transfer the folder onto my mod?
P.S. I can access Fastboot and Recovery mode, any advise, I don't know what to do, anything would help, I am new to HTC devices :$

You need to Flash stock recovery before relocking your bootloader...
Open bootloader agine then flash stock recovery then lock your bootloader then try RUU file agine

I done this, worked perfectly, thanks again for all your help , I really appreciate it.
ADB still isn't recognized but Fastboot drivers are working, mods could you please close this thread.
P.S. To anyone reading this, I would highly recommend you don't make the same mistake as me and always leave a ClockWorkRecovery Mod backup in your HTC One X (it's only around 900MB) as it's a very annoying process to get it fixed due to lack of external memory and USB mode in recovery.
nps mate just glad to help ^^,

do you still have the Unlock.ini from HTC?
if you have it then you have to type (in the folder that contains the Unlock_code.ini)
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
if you have not the file then you have to follow the step by step guide here (make sure to select: All Other Supported Models)

[Q] How to flash stock recovery for OTA

I have tried a search but can't find what I'm looking for. I am rooted but want to do the OTA update. I have downloaded the correct stock recovery .img file but what is the procedure to flash this?
Thanks, Craig
Rename the stock recovery to recovery.img and place it in the fastboot folder ..... Put the phone in the bootloader and flash it from the command prompt on the pc
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache

Hi Craig
I've seached and cannot find a suitable stock image download for a UK HTC One on the Orange network (if that makes any difference).
Could you post where you downloaded a stock image from please?
I've found plenty of M7 RUU links but it seems a bit crazy to reflash everything including the radio just to reset the bootloader.
Thanks in advance

Recovery is present in RUU. If u have found the correct RUU then just extract the recovery image from Ruu and then flash it. When u click the ruu a temporary zip file is created in c drive (windows pc). There is a file called "rom.zip" . Extract recovery from this rom.zip
No luck with this..

Hi
I've spent several hours trawling through forum posts and trying suggestions but I'm having no luck getting back to stock.
This is what I have:
HTC One on Orange UK
Bootloader locked
S-On
CWM Recovery
Stock ROM
What I've done is unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM recovery. I then relocked the bootloader.
I've searched for hours for a stock recovery that is compatible with this model but to no avail. I've also tried to find an RUU for Orange UK but again, no luck.
I've tried to set S-Off using revone but get an 'error: device not found' when running 'adb push revone /data/local/tmp/'. I've also tried to run 'fastboot oem unlock' but that also errors.
The phone works but I'm unable to OTA upgrade which is quite frustrating.
Anyone have any recomendations as how to get this back to stock?
Many thanks in advance

You can flash a rom without being s-off but you need to manually flash the boot.img file.

Has anybody tried fastbooting the recovery img into the phone's memory?
Like this:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img

All that will do is boot you into recovery .
If you use fastboot , the command would be like
"Fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>"

I had read somewhere that if you boot into recovery in the phone's memory instead of from the partition, the recovery will be able to write to the boot partition - so no need to flash the boot.img separately.
I haven't tested this myself, though.

no I don't speak greek. Flash the boot.img via fastboot
Take the boot.img from your rom archive and place in your fastboot folder go in fastboot with the phone then open cmd and runt the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
