Did you update the firmware from stock?
Elegencia is an ICS ROM. Those require a firmware update.

HTC Dev does not unlock the radio partition to read write privileges. Only S-off will do that.

eitherway he'll have to s-off. Most of the firmware zips aren't properly signed to allow flashing on a s-on phone

S-off
So how can i get S-Off?? boot.img? where can i get that?
P.D. today i tried to install the OTA update and didnt let me

If you have Hboot 1.18.000, which if you have not updated you should have, you need to download and run Revolutionary. Go to here for a detailed guide. But relock your bootloader before you run revolutionary.
The boot.img in in the .zip file for ROM you download. You just have to extract it from the .zip and then place it in the tools folder of the SDK and use fastboot to flash it. Or you can make a flashable .zip file to flash in recovery.
You need the stock recovery image on your de ice to flash the official update file.

so i just notice that if you have the HTC sync installed in the computer, the revolutionary.exe wont run!!
S-OFF achieved!! thanks!! Now i will try to flash a ROM again!!
Thanks Guys!

careful
just be careful...need battery or else u might brick

When you have the RUU, run it without a device first. When the first window of the RUU opens, drag it to the side of your screen, open Explorer and search your windows drive for "rom.zip". When you find it copy it to another location and close the RUU window.
Open rom.zip archive and you will find a file called "android-info.txt" open it and see if your cid is listed there. If it is present you can flash this RUU safely.

Yep, it's in there. Thank you guys!

What is the significance of HBOOT Preupdate? All the RUUs have a Preupdate value 13, my phone has a Preupdate value of 12. That doesn't matter probably?

Thanks for your help, but it's not there. Is there any way to restore DS without this RUU? It's bootloader unlocked, rooted, has the custom recovery. unfortunately the "misc version" was not uploaded in adb mode, thus I cannot change the main version, to be able to downgrade it. But since the main version is "too high" (2.10.161.5) and there is no adb mode and I dont have the original RUU there is nothing to do. Is it possible somehow to change the main version in fastboot???? I think this would be the only chance without the the ruu.

Guess you forgot to fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also, why would you need a RUU anyway? You can still enter recovery, can't you? Heck, of course you can: even if you couldn't you could always fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a working one.
I fail to see why a RUU would be necessary here.

Thanks for your help, but I dont really understand what u say..... Right now there is clockwork 5.0.2.0 on it, we tried to install custom roms, which seemed to be done, but the phone stops at HTC logo after flashing. I guess I could flash back the original recovery (actually I only have one from RUU 1.32.161.1), but how would it solve my problem? How about the other image files, like system, hboot etc? Please exlain it to me a bit more detailed! Thx

Lets see again: bootloader unlocked, cwm 5.0.2.0 installed, as you adviced I flased an official 1.32.161.1(older than the original 2.10.161.5) boot.img, then tried to install from recovery the custom rom, which still seems to be ok, but the phone freezes at htc logo during boot. This custom rom is a well known working version, there shouldnt be any problem. What else can I do without the RUU?

Why don't you just flash the boot.img that's included with the custom ROM...?

Just got Android 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1 - How to intall it on my rooted One S?

Hey. Pretty much what the title says!
When i try to install it, the phone reboots at some point and enters recovery, which in my case is a custom recovery (Team WIN).
Obviously it cant work like that.
Any tips?

you have to relock the bootloader, then flash the 1.78 RUU.
after that you can find the OTA update in system information

how do i relock?

I'm getting very confused here
I have downloaded the ota zip provided elsewere on the forum and in the version.txt it says '1.78.401.2 CL58751 release-keys' so obviously this can be installed over stock 1.78.401.2.
I have already installed 2.21.401.10 RUU and am running a custom rom from this.
Is this update being offered to those running stock 2.21.401.10 or do I have to wait until a 2.31.401.5 RUU is available.
Seems a very odd update system that HTC is employing here.

Never do what some guy on the web says. Its unnecessary to relock and flash ruu. Flashing stock recovery is enough.
Dont listen to this guy. Thx to him my bootloader is now relocked and i cant flash stock ruu. Nice.

could someone please tell me here can i get the stock recovey?
the only one i can find is the TWRP 2.2.1 and Official ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 5.8.3.1
or relocking (fastboot oem lock) does the trick?

Just to tell you: This OTA can not be flashed over 2.21, wait for the RUU please if you are on the 2.21 base

Run the RUU again after locking will do the trick but, if you do it this way, remember to back everything up as you will lose all of your data.

Hey, today I get a scratch on my One S whereas it's always in my pocket. So I decide to buy a screen protector. What is the best one ? (-10 dollars :angel: )

I repeat: If you are on a rooted but stock ROM, it is NOT NECESSARY TO RELOCK OR FLASH AN RUU.
Just reflash the stock recovery. You will lose root, but none of your data.

After you unlock and flash twrp, make a nandroid of your setup, then do a factory reset, then make a nandroid of the clean 2.31, and zip it up and post it! Then you can just restore your first nandroid and you won't have to set everything up again. And the rest of us will have a clean twrp recovery of 2.31 to flash

[Q] [villec2] Only Bootloader. No os installed.

Hello !
I'm new here and have a Problem.. I think you guys can help me the best.
Sorry if my English isn't the best I'm from Germany.
So i unlocked my villec2 with the tool from htcdev.com. All fine.
Then if flashed with twrp(?) and it worked.. kinda..^^
Then i rooted with SuperSu i think 0.97 or something it worked also my phone booted an i installed some apps... like whatsapp.
Then i rebooted but it stucks on the start screen "htc One"
I went into the recovery mode an thought "Wipe System" would help me and clear something.. But it formated it and now there is now Os installed.
I can go to the Bootloader but not more.
Now i tried to install an RUU but i keep getting the Error 170/171 after it says Waiting for Bootloader(Warten auf Boatloader),
I don't know what i have to do and i don't know if have still garante on the phone after unlocking and relocking the bootloader.
I hope you can help me you are my last chance !
@Edit:
Now it says i have the wrong ROM and i need to get the right.. But where I get the Right ROM? Unbranded c2?

Do you want to go back to stock rom via ruu? Or push a custom Rom to phone so you can flash?

You can get a custom ROM in the c2 dev section.. Make sure you have s3 recovery installed and don't forget to flash boot.IMG sounds like that's where you went wrong the first time...

Or when running the RUU, make sure you are in FASTBOOT USB not HBOOT USB. If you're in HBOOT USB, select fastboot in the bootloader by navigating up and down with the volume keys and selecting with the power button.

[Q] ROm Flashing issue

Hello,
I am trying to flash CleanRom 7.0 or any JB rom on my HTC One X (AT&T) but always gets stuck in bootloop (phone does not go past boot screen after flashing). This is what i have done.
The phone is on AT&T 1.82 stock room (rooted, SuperCID, S-Off). The phone was on some older HBoot version so I upgraded it to 2.15. Radio is 0.17.32.09.12. And I have TWRP recovery.
So I made a nadroid backup in recovery and than tried to install AT&T 3.82 rooted (downloaded from XDA, may be without radio and all). After successful flashing when I tried to reboot the system it got stuck on AT&T boot screen. So I rebooted in recovery and wiped everything. After that I tried to install CleanROM 7.0 R2 and same thing happened and even I tried latest elemental kernel but same thing is keep happening.
Can you please help me with this?
Thanks

At&t 3.82 rooted ROM? Where did you download that? It doesn't look familiar. What are your bootloader details? Which version of TWRP? How did you upgrade your hboot?

Hey,
Thanks for reply. Sorry I think I mis-wrote it. It's AT&T 3.18 ROM from following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181891
I will check and let you know TWRP version when I get back home. I am not sure about the bootloader details either, what you need to know about the boot loader to help me?
I upgraded hboot by upgrading firmware to 2.15 by using instructions at one of the threads at xda (using adb and fastboot commands and pushing a 2.15 zip to device when it is in bootloader).
Note that I was never able to install any custom ROM on HTC One X. I rooted it before a year or so tried to install CleanROM 5.1 (I guess) but it din't work. I also tried few other ROMs but nothing worked and I gave up. Recently I read that I may need to update Hboot to flash the ROMs. So I did it (had a hard time installing drivers on windows 8 and ultimately have to try winXP!). Still after all this it is not working.
Let me know if you can suggest something based on this.
Thanks

K so if you are s-off then you can just flash it. If you wernt then you would need to flash boot.img. now you can try to flash the boot.img. it might not fix it but start small and work up.

TWRP is the correct way to install ROMs, but I have a feeling that your current version of TWRP is your problem. Some (2.4.x, 2.5.x) are buggy and have major problems. If your TWRP version is either of those that I've just mentioned you can update it to a known bug-free version like this:
Download the modified version of TWRP*2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
