If you can get into fastboot like you are. Your not hard bricked.
To flash the RUU like you are doing. In fastboot do the following commands...
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip PL99IMG.zip
That should work.

1. Download firmware from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pEVXGZ6K!auhgoO81DzNQduWfJPQJ-lBV6g29PL6wAOEvpYsm1Hk
2. On fastboot, flash this firmware
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip firmware1.55_cid044.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and see if you can manage from here.

fastboot failed:image update error

Hi all,
My friends HTC One SV has got itself stuck on the boot screen. Also I cannot enter recovery mode (Selecting "recovery" just vibrates, shows the android skaters, and then goes back to hboot).
After booting into hboot and then fastboot usb, I'm trying to flash a new recovery image or a new boot.img. Unfortunately I get this output:

@captainbadger
First: removed the serial number also from you fastboot devices result, please.
Then, have you tried another recovery build too? This one should also work on your hboot.
About the hboot: you can't update your hboot when the device is S-On.
What you can try, (if you can't flash recovery) is to flash again the whole firmware package. But as far as i know you must lock the bootloader for that and i don't know if you can flash the same firmware on the already same installed firmware.
But you have not much options for a S-on device, which don't has a working custom recovery.
A small F.A.Q. to understand things. Not written for k2ul but most likely similar.

Yep I tried another recovery just to be certain. No luck.

Then you should maybe really lock the device and try to flash the firmware.zip.
And maybe then you have more luck with recovery.

OK.
I need to reflash firmware.zip.
To do that I need to relock the bootloader.
To do that I need S-Off.
To do that I need to install and run firewater
To do that I need to get a working adb shell connection.
That doesn't work. The only working connection I have is fastboot. I assume that adb requires the OS to be up and running. This isn't the case.

You can relock your bootloader with fastboot cmd:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then you should be able to flash a signed (by HTC) firmware.zip, also when you are S-on.
The firmware.zip you need, you can get here: http://d-h.st/uwh
How to flash, you'll find in the linked FAQ in post #2.

Ok, but then i'm sorry, i don't have a idea, whats wrong with your device.

Yeah seems like a hardware issue. It has a cracked screen so maybe that's what caused it. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Pop quiz folks! Has any of you experienced problems with installing a Splash screen using HBoot 2.21? I can't even find which partition it is currently stored on an I checked all 38 of them. Any ideas from you guys?

[Q] Can't flash stock ROM

So that's my story cut short:
I was and is S-On
I had HBoot v1.13, upgraded it by RUU flashing firmware.zip from OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip
Now I have HBoot 2.15 and TeamWin Recovery 2.8 .
ZenROM flashes with no problem, but that's still no stock, as the signature of /system is broken.
But in order to get S-Off, which is necessary at least to gain hboot 2.16 for Liberty ROM, I need to get stock ROM.
This is necessary in order for phone to boot with bootloader locked(signature should validate), which is a prereq for Faceplam S-Off(as I understand)
But every RUU I flash says:
Code:
sending 'zip' (534178 KB)...
OKAY [ 21.050s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
(bootloader) signature checking...

(bootloader) checking custom ID...
(bootloader) checking main version...
(bootloader) checking hboot version...
FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)
finished. total time: 73.893s
And every OTA I try to install in TWRP says I have a CID mismatch , no matter leave I my original (HTC_A07) or SuperCID
Help anyone?

That's my config. I deliberately downed main version, because otherwise during RUU flash I got "invalid main version" instead

Actually you don't need a stock rom. As far as I know you only need a sense rom. I S-OFFed while I had this rom installed.

Which S-Off did you use? Rumrunner and firewater didn't work for me

I used facepalm. I know a lot of people here say that it won't work on hboot 2.15 but for me it did work. Don't know why...

But with facepalm you need to flash PJ4010000.zip (or whatsitsname) in RUU mode(mean you should relock) and when it says "Error: 92 supercid blablablah" you should boot immediately, right?
And you're still with locked bootloader.
And on custom ROM, which means on boot the signature will be checked AND will fail, so it won't boot at all - that's what happens to me...
Tell me I'm wrong, cause otherwise I can't s-off neither I can flash stock...

Well, I SOFFed more than one and a half year ago. But as far as I remember you don't need to relock since you don't want to run a RUU.
Just looked it up. The instructions in the facepalm thread do not mention that you need to relock. Try again to S-OFF without relocking.

[Q] Problem after moonshining

Hi, I have problem with my phone which is similar to the one described in this topic.
I have tried to S-off my One SV but I didn't update to the newest version of stock ROM which resulted in an error while running moonshine (it stopped after step 10 saying "Don't drink and moonshine" which was quite funny at first ).
Now the hboot says that the phone is unlocked and tampered.
I have tried flashing a stock rum using RUU exe file but it obviously failed.
Flashing .img files works fine (I have already tried to flash several boot.img's), I have even tried to flash new Venom ROM using TWRP recovery and it flashed fine, but the phone hangs on boot screen.
When I try to flash zip using fastboot it fails:
sending 'zip' (441985 KB)...

have you enabled usb debugging mode from settings?
also don't forget to select fastboot from bootloader when you are connecting the device to the pc(in the screen should say fastboot usb)
by the way if you are trying to unlock the bootloader from htcdev site there is no need to because you are on S-OFF
do this ,flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums (important)
