Why is this device so difficult to flash via fastboot? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Here's the deal:
I'm trying to create a system to flash the One X via fastboot.
Currently, my device has an unlocked bootloader (changed CID, used HTC Dev) and is running the stock 2.20.507 release.
Using 'fastboot flash system system.img' and providing the stock system.img for this build extracted from the rom.zip inside of the RUU does not work - I get an 'out of space error.'
Running "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and attempting to flash the ROM.zip that way provides the following error.
What's up?

What does that mean?
Does that mean the version of Hboot on this device literally doesn't allow anything to be flashed to system?
Is it possible to downgrade to something older than what the device shipped with (1.14.0002) or do they have the same restrictions too?

I dont know what version allowed it or if any. Also wish we could run fastboot erase userdata

It's remarkable how useless this is. Thanks HTC for providing an "Unlocked" bootloader that is anything but.
Do you know what the earliest version shipped on HTC One X's would be? And is it possible to flash hboot by itself from fastboot (without screwing anything up?)

why not flash the ruu? what are you trying to do?
according to your picture you can't use that method because of supercid, it might work if you changed cid back to original

Well good question... there is a reason, and it has to do with an automated build flashing/testing system I've been assigned to work on. If it's impossible, I'll find another way (with a custom recovery), but I want to exhaust all possibilities and at least understand why this device is so 'picky'

think the problem is supercid, might work on devices not supercid. will unlock token work if you remove supercid on att htc one xl?

I know to do the HTC Dev unlock in the first place I had to change it...you think I should revert it, try the unlock token again? Is it correct that you have to relock the bootloader to revert the CID? Never done it before...

LOL this guy...
Anyhow I guess I'll try it, if in fact I cannot unlock again after doing that, I'll just have to re-SuperCID again to get back to my present state...guess it's worth a shot.

can you not extract mmcblk0p23, hex edit it to change the cid and the copy it back to system? or is the cid in mmcblk0p4?

Why would it be in system?

what exactly are you trying to achieve by rooting?
There is a way to install 4ext recovery which gives you a sort of root on 1.27 that allows flashing

Do you have the right RUU
There's no longer a need to go back to stock. If you're looking for the radio file, it's here.
The kernel will probably be baked into the next AOKP and CM9 roms, and I'm sure there'll be a flashable zip of the new kernel coming out very soon as well.
NOTE: If you're flashing the new radio, you need to use TWRP. Clockworkmod will NOT work properly for this, so don't bother trying.

i got the right ruu for the us htc one s for tmobile but for some reason i must be missing something cause my pc keeps asking me what program would i like to run the ruu with lol. does anyone know why it wont open the ruu? its been so long since ive ran the file.
The RUU is an .exe file.
RUU are very useful to reset the phone to stock before returns/selling it. It's also useful to go back to see if an issue was provocked by the Rom/root/whatever and not the phone itself.

Why do you keep the unlock bin on the phone? Also don't you need to get a new one after you do this to unroot it?
Minor corrections. Just relock the bootloader. Let the phone turn on after it is relocked. Run the RUU for your device's carrier. No need to flash stock recovery.

Restore to Stock - losing my mind

I've been trying to restore back to stock for over a day now and still havn't figured it out.
All of the guides start talking about adb or fastboot right in the middle of the guide without any explanation.
Aruwizard keeps saying bootloader version fail when I try to flash whats supposed to be stock rogers rom, but everything i see is telling me to download the one im already using.
1. download rogers ruu.zip
2. get supercid or downgrade follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
3. use the windows ruu tool ..... or .... get adb and fastboot installed correctly. google this if you dont know how
4a. for windows ruu tool follow my post in dev section
4b. for adb and fastboot do
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it will ask u to run the last command again...

Have you relocked your bootloader?
1. make sure fastboot in android is turned off under power.
2. power off device
3. power phone on by holding down the volume down key + pressing power - don't release the volume down key until you see the bootloader screen
4. select fastboot
5. connect phone usb
6. screen should now read fastboot usb in red
7. type fastboot oem lock
Phone might restart back into fastboot can't really remember but now you can run the RUU.
The RUU should be an .exe for the above
im on 1.73 trying to flash reflash 1.73, so i shouldnt need to use super cid (?).
I download the rogers stock rom (PJ83IMG_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.73.631.1_Radio_0.16a.32.09.06_10.81.32.14L_release_254934_signed.zip)
and I downloaded ARUwizard to flash it.
I keep getting random errors from aruwizard.
ive tried finding adb tools or fastboot, but they all look like they're for specific phones.

Ok you have made a very common mistake (that I have made once too, but then there was no ICS RUU, so I was forced to do some mumbo-jumbo) - not lowering your version, which is a must-have in the downgrade process
Anyway you have now much easier path now:
1) Run the ICS RUU
2) unlock the bootloader via htc-dev
3) flash a custom recovery
4) root it manually or with the AIO tool (temp root will not work)
5) lower your main version using the misc_version binary
6) relock the bootloader
7) run the RUU
8) disable the update check in the Settings, otherwise if upgraded the SC will spot the relocked bootloader
Good luck

I am afraid you are out of options. There is no way to lower your version without root.
If you are lucky and still have the custom recovery you can use the misc_version there (it has root). Otherwise you cannot flash anything with this version, only the ICS RUU. You cannot use Revolutionary again when your OS does not boot
EDIT: as I said I have made the same mistake and now my hardware buttons are almost broken and I cannot take it to a repair due to my Unlocked bootloader. But when you downgrade to 1.28.x or 1.47.x there is no "RELOCKED" flag shown in the booltoader screen. So if you keep the older version and do not update there is a chance that the SC will not check it.

Well as far as I remember the ICS RUU disclaimer says that it drops the warranty on the software side. If you have a hardware problem it should be acknowledged and repaired. But you have to recheck that.

What are you talking about? He can just use tacoroot. Either way, he was S-OFF, so he can just S-OFF again, change miscversion, and then roll back to S-ON.

[MOD] Super CID Cmdline

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As soon as i was S-Off I did this and it worked great,
Code:
[SIZE="3"]adb reboot-bootloader[/SIZE]
Code:
[SIZE="3"]sudo fastboot oem writecid 11111111 [/SIZE]
The reason i put sudo in front of it is beacause now days you can install Adb and Fastboot Via PPA on Ubuntu and fastboot requires sudo,
If you have it installed the traditional way leave sudo in or out it wont hurt either way.
If you wanna go back to original then
Code:
sudo fastboot oem writecid VZW__001
The ouput should be
Code:
(bootloader) Start Verify: 0
(bootloader) Input CID is super CID
(bootloader) Start Verify: 0
OKAY [ 0.029s]
finished. total time: 0.029s
Or close to it as far as time goes..
Cheers All!
oh Hai
hope to start hangin here soon with you
This is my first HTC device so changing your CID is new to me. With S-OFF, i can flash recovery / roms. Why would I need to change my CID to 1111? Is the only profit the ability to install another carrier rom?
Alright, this is new to me. So, I have to ask.
As stated in the OP we can flash any carrier roms? That won't mess with anything specifically will it?
Above is my video guide on enabling SuperCID for those who would prefer a visual aid. Feel free to add to the OP if you like.

My understanding is that you need to change the CID to be able to unlock the bootloader using HTCdev.com that way it won't deny you anymore. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
ok now that im 111111 i can now go install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441 (GPE)?
Now that we are s-off and have a super cid, we can RUU.exe to different carriers. I have never done it ... But as stated in the op, I like options and for me this is kind of an incase something happens extra for me to have. if i need to RUU and all i have is google edition RUU then hey, It's enough to get me going . As always you can google to get alot more info from different sources, this is just somthing until my kernel finishes building

All of the mods and the roms that you flash will check your cid and model before they will flash. If it detects a cid or model that it is not supported it will error out. This is just a way to change your cid to make sure that it will be accepted.

Ah okay. It's my first HTC device too, I always had samsung before. But won't this also make it so we can unlock via HTC dev? Or can we just do fastboot oem unlock?

That was the case on the m7, but firewater unlocks the bootloader as well, so no need to do it through HTCdev

Oh nice. I didn't know that. So I don't have to worry about backing up for a full factory reset or anything. Sweet.

flashing an international rom fails at getting the build product in the build prop. so that needs to be modified.

ya you would have to change the updater-script, but before it is fully tested I would not try to do that unless you have experience, should not cause any irreversible harm, but it would most likely be a waste of time, because of the different radios and such. The roms for the international version are going to have to be ported over. I'm working on the gpe tonight.

Even though we have S-OFF, the bootloader is still locked.

It's my understanding that when you unlock the bootloader, the device gets wiped. At least, that was how it was on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 2013. By my fastboot screen showing unlocked, I just assumed that meant that S-OFF worked, but that the bootloader was still locked. If it is indeed unlocked, then that is awesome!
