So, I used to be an Android expert and knew what was wrong just by the symptoms of the problem, having had an iPhone for about 4 months has changed all that. I'm still familiar with some of the stuff, fast boot, installing a recovery, mostly basic things, so I come here to the community I uses to help in.
Here's my issue: Viper ROM was installed, and I wanted to try out Rebel ROM. Downloaded it, but wouldn't connect to my computer through the ROM, so I booted to recovery to mount the internal storage.
It wouldn't flash, stating an error, tried CleanROM, same error. Now there's no OS on the phone, so I decided to RUU so I'd have something too work with.
Its on 2.20 so I downloaded that one, and program ran fine till it told me there was an error and so I can't even have a stock ROM.
TL;DR It can boot to recovery, fast boot, but can't flash a ROM or RUU. Any ideas? Thanks guys for your replies.

Did you try extracting the boot.IMG from the ROM, fastboot flash boot.img. if your on 1.14 Hboot you'll need to do this.

The error is because you didn't lock your bootloader before running the ruu fastboot oem lock

I am on hboot 1.14, can I use XsMagicals program? I'd rather use the ADB commands but I've forgotten them.

Oh, thank you sir! I'll look up how to do that.
There's no way to downgrade the hboot, is there?
Flashing boot imgs can only be done through fastboot without s off(which I highly recommend you do) but tutorial on fastboot coming up!

Flashing boot img through fastboot...
download the file in the link which above which will include adb and fastboot....put that on your computer somewhere you can find it.. now take the boot image out of the Rom zip and place it in that folder... Boot your phone into bootloader scroll down and select fastboot and now open a command prompt with in the fastbootbadb folder on your comp and type to command without the quotes "fastboot flash boot boot.img"...now go wipe in recovery and install the Rom it doesn't matter if you keep the boot img in the Rom zip or not

My device is S-ON, so I should S-OFF it?
And no way to downgrade the hboot? I know you can't RUU down to an earlier version because of this.

Yes s off makes things 100 x easier and without s off you can't downgrade hboot through ruu
Thank you sir! With S-OFF, I can RUU back to an earlier version? I tried searching through the dev section, I mostly found ROMs, and a couple mods.

sorry if you have a custom recovery installed you can flash a rom.zip extracted from any 2.10.401.x ruu.then you are stock again.if this doesn t work rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and put it in the root of your sd card:boot into bootloader and wait the bootloader to flash the update.

how can you extract a rom.zip from a ruu?simple.Download the ruu you want (but i suggest you downloading this one RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed).Run the ruu.When the window HTC ANDROID phone rom update utility appears don t click next.Open start>run and type %temp%.A window will pop up.
These are your pc's temporary files.Then search type in the search box rom.zip or sort them by date (the most recent to oldest files) then do a manual search in every folder for an archive named rom.zip.
If you think you are "too lazy" to do this i will upload a rom.zip and will give you the download link.HOPE this helped!

Also the Rom update utility is clearly saying to you that the RUU you are using is not the proper version. Think about that or you will end up with a brick...

what's the problem with my hboot?

Before you yell at me for not searching, I spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this problem.
I tried to root my Rogers HTC One X, but after failing serveral times in changing the CID, I soft-bricked my phone when trying the method from How to root your HTC One X Tegra3 (for Windows, Mac and Linux) thread on modaco
Now my phone loads up on the HTC logo with red text, and just crashes. I tried to find a RUU, but I can't, only a OTA for my version.

Could I use the OTA to do a factory reset, if so how?
I can't seem to find a RUU.
Would I be able to use a different RUU, that's a older version?
I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 installed as well, and can access it.

Actually, it wasn't that easy, even after unlocking it says I wasn't rooted. My bootloader is unlocked, restore was flashed, and I get "tampered".
I had to install some kind of exploit that kept failing to change my CID.
Also, my HBoot says S-On, maybe one of the reasons I couldn't use root when I flashed it?

Well of course you wouldn't be rooted after that...do you really think HTC would put out a program that would root our phones and then take responsibility? No.. you obviously did not read at all....once you unlock your bootloader you flash twrp than flash a Rom/ or root... Is that hard to read?
S-on has nothing to do with root. Have you installed a recovery? TWRP?

Yes, I ****ed up. I know. I didn't fully understand what I was doing at first, and just basically skimmed though a couple tutorials before I messed up my phone.

Connect your phone via usb to your comp Go into twrp mount your storage and drag the Rom over to the phone where you'll be able to find it on your sd
Now go into the wipe menu in twrp select wipe system and factory reset..
Nowclicj on install in twrp find viper where you put in on your sd and click on and flash it

Okay, I'm currently downloading the Rom you suggested, going to take a while. Pretty big. Also, when I mount the System, data, and cache, I get a message from windows asking me to format the J: drive. Should I continue?
Another question, after I flash this Rom, would I be able to reset everything back to the way it was? No Root, relock the bootloader, and reset the the main factory rom?
Whyd you mount system and data? ...so when you click mount menu you see mount system that should be uncecked mount data unchecked two others.. than you see u button halfway through the page that says mount usb storage...

Hey Guys,
Jump ahead and flashed my AT&T One X w/ Viper 4 and also the recommended firmware. Well, not having much luck with it. Having all sorts of unstable connections and not able to lock on LTE. Using 3.2.8 Viper I constantly get LTE connection but with this new firmware I'm not able to. I like to roll back to previous 3.18 radio. Can someone tell me if it's safe to do this and how I should go about doing it? Also looking for a place to download.
Appreciate any assistance!!

If you only need the 3.18 radio,you must find the radio in development zone to download it.If the file is img,you must go to the ruu mode to flash,else if ,use the recovery to flash.
Guys, really appreciate all of your help! Any ideas where I can locate the old RUU? Is that in the link that timmaaa provided? How should I perform the flash? This is the instructions I followed provided by Turge for flashing the new firmware:
Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader if "USB Debugging" is enabled in Android)
Run: fastboot oem rebootRUU
Run: fastboot flash zip <PathToFirmware.zip>
If the output ends with "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)", run the previous command AGAIN
If it ends with "INFO..... OK", reboot to the bootloader: fastboot reboot-bootloader
Verify everything was successful by running: fastboot getvar all
Do I just do the same using the old firmware zip??
Thank you!!
You don't need to run an RUU to change your radio. You just flash the radio zip in recovery. The link in my signature has everything you'll ever need for this phone.

I have a HTC ONE X LTE - Rogers. I was running hboot 1.11 with Viper Custom ROM. I decided it was time to update my rom but I have not done any flashing in a while. I tried installing the newest Revolution HD ROM without any luck and realized it maybe because my hboot was out of date. So I tried to re-lock my bootloader and flash a newer RUU with JB but I feel like this is where I went wrong. I think I flashed the wrong RUU. I can no longer boot into Recovery. Even if I try flashing for it again I still can not boot into it.
Its status is currently UNLOCKED, hboot is 2.14. I don't want to mess this up, what do I do now?
Version-main 3.17.631.2
When I run fastboot and adb commands, fastboot works but it isn't recognized as a device for adb commands.

Revolution HD isn't for our phone, that's for the Endeavoru (HTC One X), you have the Evita (HTC One XL). You're lucky you didn't brick the phone.
After the RUU does the phone boot up into Android? Have you manually flashed TWRP recovery since you ran the RUU?

and Im pretty sure I downloaded this file
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip
and inside that I extracted the firmware.zip and flashed that onto my then RE-locked phone.
Everything was fine except I was following another thread that stated how and I just typed the commands. The guy said after it said "Okay" in the cmd window it was fine but on my phone the progress bar didn't go all the way and was actually stuck on the last bit for a good while so I thought since he said it was "okay" it was done and I restated my phone. Thats when the problems came.
That's a zip file so it's an OTA, not an RUU, an OTA will not work unless you already have the correct system already installed for it to build on. An RUU is an exe file. Go back to androidruu and download an RUU exe file then connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the exe program. Don't extract it, just run the program.

Oh ok, cool. Is there a difference between Evita and EvitaRE? Is it ok if the RUU is a lower number(Im assuming a less up to date) firmware than the one I have right now? Then what should I do after? What Custom rom would you recommend? I was thinking a stable CM rom since I really like the look of AOSP. My only problem was I tried it before and my battery only lasted around 6 hours. With Viper I could get around 7-14 depending on usage.
When I run the RUU (1.0.6.2012) it says From :IMG V 3.17.631.2 To: Image V 1.94.631.3. Is this correct?
Evita and EvitaRE are two completely different phones. Only ever use ROMs/kernels/radios/RUUs that are for Evita specifically. You can't run an older RUU if you're s-on, are you s-on or s-off? Asking for a recommended ROM isn't allowed here, to say one is better infers that the others are inferior in some way. This isn't fair on the devs who spend their spare time bringing us great ROMs free of charge. You need to have a look through the ROMs on offer and find one you think you'll like. Also I asked you before if you've tried flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot? You never answered.

I am S-ON. Sorry about that, didn't realize. Yes I did try flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot but I am not able to acces it and I am not sure if I am flashing it correctly. I just put it into the folder with my fastboot files and cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I renamed it to recovery.img)
I downloaded RUU 1.0.6.2012 (it was the only exe in the list for my region) and I tried installing it. I get an Error 155:Unknown error. Telling me to get the correct RUU and try again.
Where did you download TWRP? Maybe we should start again to make sure you've got the right version. Download 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
Now hopefully you can enter recovery on your phone.

Forget about the RUU for the moment, I believe if we can successfully get TWRP on your phone you can flash an Evita ROM and you'll be fine.

Where did you download TWRP? Maybe we should start again to make sure you've got the right version. Download 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
Now hopefully you can enter recovery on your phone.

Wonderful, I have successfully booted into recovery!:victory:
Cool. From now on just make sure you stay in our forum. You'll find the main page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Bookmark that page. The two development sections are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/development (Sense ROMs)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/orig-development (aosp ROMs)
As long as you only download ROMs etc from those two development forums you can't really go wrong. Now just find a ROM you like and you can flash it. Remember if it's an aosp ROM you need to flash gapps as well. And don't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards too because you're s-on. If you have any further problems just ask here.

Cool, thanks for all the help! I think Im just going to do a quick install of cleanrom, make sure everything is stable and get S-OFF. After that I'll update my RUU to 3.18 and make a backup from there. Thank you again!
Well no I'm stuck again. I am trying to get S-OFF in order to get a clean RUU install so that the kernel isn't messed up like it is right now. Except The only two methods of getting S-OFF required either SuperCID or adb commands. The only way I can find to get SuperCID is through ADB commands so regardless I need to use adb commands. It isn't so bad except that my phone is not recognized when I try to run adb commands. Ive done everything to reinstalling multiple times yet nothing seems to work.
Try installing an Android 4.1 ROM, folks have had some trouble with adb on the Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROMs.

Im using CleanROM 6.5 and under software information it says android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+. Should I use an older one?
Ah ok, I thought you were using the latest version of CR which is an Android 4.2.2 ROM. So you've updated both your HTC drivers and adb/fastboot? What version of Windows are you using? Are you using the HTC usb cable that came with the phone? Are you using a front or rear usb port?

Tested on my Desktop running Windows 7-x64 as well and all the drivers are fine except for the MTP drivers. They don't install correctly. Thats the problem with my laptop as well.
Is there anyway I can do a clean wipe or start over from scratch?
An RUU will start you over from scratch, the only problem is that you're s-on so you can run an older RUU and there isn't an RUU that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. Are you able to mount your sd card in TWRP?

Yes I am
I'm trying to update a phone I haven't used for a while with a newer ROM, but I'm not able to get in to recovery to do it. It's already rooted with an old ViperOne ROM on and I thought it already had CWM on., but Flashify is telling me it has the stock recovery. I've tried installing CWM and TWRP via Flashify and Fastboot and they've completed without any errors, but I'm never able to get in to it and it boots as normal. I can't even get in to the stock recovery that's supposedly there.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks.
Well try this.
Download Rom Manager
It wil flash the CWM by itself and then reboot into the Recovery. Notice what happens.

If Helped Click Thanks...
I've tried that too, still just reboots as normal.
Then it might be a Dead Recovery. Well which device are you using. And maybe Flashing your Device back to stock which would flash back the stock recovery.
Hope This Works ..!

As first step you should flash the latest JellyBean RUU which will also upgrade your bootloader to 2.15. If your phone is "S-ON" you will have to relock the bootloader before running the RUU. Once done your phone should be fully working again so you can unlock the bootloader again and flash the latest TWRP recovery.
For getting the matching RUU you need to check your CID. Connect your phone in fastboot mode, open commandline and typ:
fastboot getvar all

OK, Bootloader relocked, back to S-On, CID reset to O2___001.
Would you agree that the RUU is the 7th one down in this list?

NO! You were S-OFF? That made life easier. Unbranded EU firmware is fine BUT I suppose you cant flash it now, as you reverted the CID...
I said, IF you're S-ON...
Best way is get S-OFF again via rumrunner.us, change CID to HTC__001 and then flash the RUU you mentioned before

Ok, give it a try, you should go S-OFF anyway as you need HBOOT 2.15 if you want to use roms newer than ICS.
