Hi, i'm trying to flash by using fastboot with command prompt. I can't flash anything by useing the recovery option in hboot because it keeps taking me back to the hboot menu.
Right. I extracted the rom.zip from the RUU Rom "testruu" which went okay, it has all the images, includeing the recovery image to get it working again. but when i type in "fastboot -p (serial number) update rom.zip" which the rom.zip is located in the sdk tools folder. it comes up with the error
"Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error: failed to access zipdata in "MS-DOS symbols.........."
Any ideas? i tried flashing other rom's but they don't contain the "android-info.txt" within the image zip package.....
Please help because my phone is 100% dead with no recovery working and stuck at the htc logo screen.
so no one knows how to flash in fastboot? well great.
Enter fastboot then plug Desire to your computer and run official RRU (*.exe file)
That should help
Cheers
Hi
I've been given a One X (he bought an M8) and I thought I'd easily put on KK 4.4.4, but I have hit a brick wall.
It was running ViperX 2.6.0 with Hboot 0.95, and it's S-ON.
Well 4.4.4 needs a Hboot above 1.28, so the flashing failed.
So I did my homework and got the CID (it's HTC-023) to install the firmware so that I could update the Hboot via OTA.
So I installed the boot.img for the HTC-023 firmware and that (of course) was a an error as I didn't have a copy of the boot.img for the ViperX 2.6.0.
Then the firmware was a .rar file and didn't install anyrate.
So now it's in bootloop.
I have not been able to find a copy of ViperX 2.6.0 to extract the required boot.img
I've got TWRP with Sideloader installed, and ADB works fine.
So I am stuck (like my One X really) so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solution
I thought I should post the solution.
The essential problem was to get a Hboot 1.28 or higher so that a new version of Cyanogenmod could be installed.
On this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&page=189 is the following from ClydeB1
To flash you need to run the following commands: (It is advised to take a backup of your data and important files on your sd card)
1. Lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. Boot to RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. Flash firmware - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (if you get an error then rerun this command)
Note: The firmware will flash the new hboot, as well as a new stock boot.img and stock recovery.img.
To flash a custom rom you then need to do the following:
4. Unlock bootloader - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (you can use the same unlock_code file as you used previously, check your emails if you can't find it, or else reapply at htcdev.com)
5. Flash custom recovery - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Note: If the unlock process wiped your sd card you may need to boot to recovery and mount usb storage to copy the rom file across again. If your phone won't boot into recovery then run command - fastboot erase cache and try again.
If you then wish to flash a JB custom rom:
6. Flash new boot.img from rom - fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. For good measure - fastboot erase cache
8. Boot to recovery and flash rom
I followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly. I did need to use CWM as with TWRP the touch screen did not work.
and have more ease way to do this. You are with too low HBOOT and you can run RUU and then update the phone to latest JB because are you know witch HBoot you install to your phone

What did you do to get to this state? Please try to list the exact steps in order. Also, what had you done to the phone before you started whatever happened here, i.e., what rom/firmware were you on?

We need more detail than that to help.
What file did you try to flash? How exactly did you do it? By "RUU mode" do you mean you used the fastboot oem rebootRUU command, or something else? Or were you running a RUU.exe file? Which one?
You were unlocked; were you running a custom rom before this? Which one? How did you relock?

inset Firmware Packs
"WARNING: HTC introduced a new "security feature" with the 2.XX.XXX.X firmware. This "feature" blocks the Bootloader Unlock if the option "OEM unlocking" in the Developer Options isn't activated. Because of that it's not recommended (especially to S-ON Users) to relock the Bootloader and flash these files if you want to update to Firmware 2.XX.XXX.X or newer. You better use a RUU and the Update Function in "Settings>About" for that purpose."
Flash stock rom, RUU.exe
finally replacement of mainboard
Possible Solution!
If anyone is having this problem more recently I have found a solution. Please Follow the instructions as I have put it, this has helped me and several others. Believe me I was close to throwing my phone at the wall before I fixed it with the below solution:
Notes:
You will need to be S-Off for this solution to work.
Your phone may reboot several times during this process - just let it reboot back to bootloader again before carring on where you left off from.
1. Download a fresh copy of Minimal ADB and Fastboot Package and install it.
2. Re-download a copy of the most recent firmware that WORKED on your phone as a zip format and place it in the same folder you installed Minimal ADB/Fastboot
2. Hold the Volume up button and the Power button to get the phone out of the loop - If you're phone is salvageable this should bring you to the bootloader however if you press on any option other than reboot to boot loader it will throw your phone back into infinite blue screen loop or to a blue screen so don't even try.
3. Plug the phone into your PC and make sure its been detected by task manager if there is a question mark you will need to re-install the correct HTC Drivers (Normally uninstalling HTC Sync Manager and re-installing it does the trick).
4. Once the phone is recognized by windows start up the file "MAF32" in the ADB/Fastboot folder on windows.
5. Extract the Firmware Zip file you downloaded in step two into the same folder you installed ADB/Fastboot.
6 Type the flash commands below exactly as they are written below (or copy and paste) (If boot.img is not part of the firmware you downloaded you can skip that file).
fastboot flash aboot aboot_signed.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash adsp adsp.img
fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img
fastboot flash hyp hyp-8994-1.img
fastboot flash pg2fs pg2fs_ship_signkey.img
fastboot flash pmic pmic-8994-1.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash rpm rpm-8994-1.img
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1-8994-1.img
fastboot flash sdi sdi.img
fastboot flash sensor_hub sensor_hub.img
fastboot flash tz tz-8994-1.img
fastboot reboot
This should bring your phone back to life and you should be able to access your recovery and download mode again (you may have to flash custom recover again depending on where you got your firmware from) - Now your phone is ready for a ROM Install.
Let me know how you guys get on

Hi. I have the same problem which is blue screen on download mode. I tried this method but nothing happen. My HTC is verizon version. I tried to flash all the img from 3.37.605.7 firmware but still the same.
I want to go back to download mode from fastboot..plz help me how to
If you don't have access to download mode, then you'll need to flash the laf.img file specific to your phone. If you can't locate the LAF image, then you'll need to extract it from the KDZ. Here's a tutorial on how to flash the image...

Flashing RUU in rebootRUU mode can restore your phone to stock, and all data will be WIPED.
First of all, please find a copy of htc_fastboot in this forum, then
- Connect it to PC
- Reboot to Download Mode
- Use htc_fastboot to go in RUU mode
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
- Flash RUU zip file from this thread, and yes, you cannot unzip them because they are encrypted. Just use htc_fastboot to flash it.
