Hi Patrick,
We Do agree with the Tatorial.
But, after following all this; with One of the ROM after flashing it stays on HTC logo and wont go further.
If trying the Re-Flash from Bootloader the RUU - The message is: Error 270
The Image file is corrupted. Please check your Update utility
Now unable to Boot the Device.
We can get the Bootloader screen but no go further.
ThanX

Hi
I update my phone to ICS by RUU and I couldn't open it. The boot animation is stuck in the green HTC logo. "Quietly brilliant" doesn't even come on.
So i tried to flash the RUU again but it said Error 155. So i tried to superwipe. But when I go into the bootloader and into Recovery, the screen just flashed and went black. And showed the phone icon with a red cross. Seems like I can't get into recovery to install zip from card.
My bootloader says -
UNLOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-0N RL
HBOOT - 1.27.0000
eMMC - BOOT

Please help me.
Since you are using RUU I wonder it will been fine even you are on custom ROM.
I guest maybe you are using wrong version of RUU make sure you are using the right ROM.
If would you like to try you may would like to revert back the Recovery if your are using custom recovery with this guide [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.

the error you have represents connection issues
you need to run the RUU from fastboot mode in device (your device should read "fastboot usb")
Also you got stuck after running RUU ?? weird ...did the RUU ran first time completely ?
Also for safe RUN ...relock the boot loader and run the RUU...by keeping the phone in fastboot mode (device reads "fastboot usb")
Ok. So I relock my bootloader and I tried to install it. It said Error 140 - Bootloader version error. It's in fastboot USB mode. The installer get up to the Updating signature stage but then it gave error. I have SUPERcid. help?

as you are S-ON currently ..you cant run RUU having lower bootloader versions....(thats why you are getting bootloader errors)
right now you can only run ICS RUU's...
as you are superCID you can get any ICS RUU..
to RUN the RUU
1.make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked
2.keep the device in fastboot usb (i.e. connect it to pc when in fastboot )
3.run the RUU from PC
(only if RUU runs completely and gives you congats message --then only RUU is successful)
if you got any errors even after doing this...please post the error in this thread

Hi there.
I have the exact same problem as the original poster! (Coincidentally the same info in the bootloader too!) I'm trying run a RUU which I downloaded and have had an
'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
The error may be because my bootloader is unlocked? But when I try to re-lock it it shows the "security warning" below "re-locked"
and then the RUU gives me ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The RUU I'm trying to use is called RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed

I just got my phone back. Flash clockwordmod or 4ext from adb. And then use it to wipe everything in your phone. And then flash a ROM.zip and it will work like charm

Do i need to rename into PG58IMG.zip ? thnx for your help.
So...i purchased a HOX on Sunday and it was all working fine on straight talk not long after i got home with it. I was sick of the bloatware so i went to load a custom ROM (i've rooted/rom'd the Fascinate and RAZR before, i'm not totally clueless) and made the awful mistake of flashing an endeavoru ROM on my evita phone (at&t) along with an incorrect recovery. I didn't realize my mistake at the time and wiped cache/dalvik/factoryreset/ and system to try and install a different ROM. After failing to load that i tried other ROMs and somehow my sd card became corrupted. I tried to read many many threads (worked around 7 hours on this) to fix the sd card issue including:

I have tried to relock the bootloader, cmd shows:
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.940s
After doing that however it still says RELOCKED in fastboot, although under that is has Security Warning so apparently it still worked. Then i tried running "htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012", Version is 1.0.6.2012 on the 'HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility', it says my current image version is 2.20.502.7. After hitting 'Update' on that it says it will update to image version: http://i.imgur.com/IwD2nIQ.png. The program runs into ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR which i also can't seem to fix (it says to get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again but i'm pretty sure i have the correct one..). Here is the fastboot version and CID along with a failed recovery: http://i.imgur.com/wmg93YT.png
Once i realized my first mistake i put the correct recovery back on my phone. I even tried to sideload a rom onto the phone but it got stuck in CMD on 6% nearly instantly. I also have formatted the sd storage at least 3 times in windows.
So the current situation is:
- No OS installed. Phone gets stuck at HTC screen with red writing upon normal boot.
- Bootloader is accessible.
- TWRP 2.3.3.0 is installed and accessible through recovery.
- Can't install any ROM because the unable to mount /data error. When wiping dalvik i also get "E:Unable to mount 'cache' "
- Tried to format at least 3 times, no error in windows from formatting; sd card has no files on it in windows currently
- I've tried to push the TWRP recovery onto the device again, it works but nothing is fixed.
- Using Windows 7 64bit, HTC One X AIO Kit v2.0,fastboot tool
- Phone can be unlocked/relocked, however with an error in cmd (see above).
- Every program has been run 'as administrator', no change in result.
- Phone is recognized as 'My HTC' under 'Android USB Devices' in windows, so drivers should be correctly installed (not that i haven't tried uninstalling those twice already..)
Bootloader info:

Any help is greatly appreciated. Hopefully i've not made any noob mistakes (nice registration video btw..) since i have searched already for this problem, although it is most likely something i missed.
**Update**
Ran through the Nocturnal guide for corrupted sd card and it seems to have worked. Was able to install the cm10 nightly ROM but it failed from a symlink error. Installed evita Avatar ROM instead and it has been booting up for the last 4 minutes, will update on whether or not that works.
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_o...s_08022012.exe download this ruu, if it doesnt load then the download link is in post 9 of the second link below,i think you are using the wrong ruu. You have to have the same ruu for the phone version...2.20 ruu for 2.20 firmware.

if that doesnt work read through that thread, i had the same problem as you when i first started, your phone is fine...as long as you can get into bootloader and recovery, your phone is ok..
Relock your phone again by the way (fastboot oem lock) from fastboot, if it says relocked..then it is locked again. run the ruu in fastboot as well, if that does not work try running the ruu in bootloader.
Ruu should work if you do it right...If it doesnt work.
Alternative, wipe your phone data,cache, dalvik and THEN flash boot img of a rom and LASTLY install a rom,

What is the Nocturnal guide for corrupted sd card ?
Hi !
I have been trying to fix my htc one s (s4) for several days now, and i'm stuck.
I tried to update my HBOOT and get back to stock rom by flashing a RUU but I got the wrong one (signature verification fail) but I'm not sure that's what caused the problem.
When I plug my phone in in recovery (TWRP or CWM) an empty disk is detected on my computer but no sd card so i can't format it or load another ROM to be flashed.
I did a factory reset to see if it would fix it but it did not.
I have no ROM left on my phone, no backup available, adb does not work ( each adb command gets me a error:device not found ) and adb devices can't see my phone.
My HTC Drivers are updated.
Fastboot and bootloader, however, still work.
I have tried changing cable.
When I wipe dalvik in TWRP, I get this line among the other ones in the log:
/sd-ext not present, skipping
when i do a factory reset one of the line is
E: unknowv olume for path [/sd-ext]
And sometimes, although I'm not sure what triggers it, I get a bunch of
Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
My phone is S-ON, H-BOOT is 1.14.0002
I don't know what to try anymore I hope I'm not the owner of a shiny little brick.
Does anyone have any ideas what my fix it ?
I apologize for my english if my grammar is poor, I'm French.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"STOCK" recovery. I think you have tried with CUSTOM recovery.
Here is the link for stock recovery. The second download link is the stock recovery image
Flash stock recovery, then relock boot loader and then follow the above procedure :good:
Actually I did flash the stock recovery I just typed custom by mistake. Sorry about that. The one I flashed even came from the same link .
I searched on the forums and I might not have flashed the right ruu.
But i can't seam to find the right one, because strangely "fastboot getvar version-main" gives a blank result.

CID HTC_247
Hey Guys! so recently I purchased Sunshine to S-OFF my SPRINT HTC U11. I changed the CID to unlocked version BS_US001 to flash the unlocked RUU. it kept on failing because the bootloader was unlocked. so then I typed the worst command ever "fastboot oem lock" and now my bootloader is locked, device is S ON, and the worst part is that the bootloader comes up saying that the device is corrupted and cannot be trusted. Now I cannot get into twrp, or my rom. because I changed the CID I can't use my original RUU to revert back. Moreover the android OS version in the download mode comes up as 1.28.651.3 and the unlocked RUU which could work is 1.16.617.6 . The unlocked RUU gives me an error that the android versions either missing or set to 1 and the sprint RUU gives me Invalid Customer ID error. I have access to fastboot. I need a way to change the CID back to SPCS_001. I know I should've used superCID but I panicked while doing all the steps. if anyone could give me or provide me with a way to create a sprint rom.zip which is signed and has a modified android-info.txt including the CID for my phone. I cannot unlock my bootloader as it expects bootloader unlocking to be turned on the android system which unfortunately has been factory reset due to the corruption and is no longer booting. if there is a way to S OFF via fastboot then I can recover. please help me. I have good experience with flashing roms and messing with this stuff but I was out of the android scene for 2 years until recently when I got the U11.

sounds like you're in a pickle....someone had a similar issue, read here
you may be able to boot into twrp via fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-ocn.img while in bootloader
then you could try either erasing OS version or changing it
good luck!

I tried your recommendation but to no avail. when I boot into the bootloader and send the fastboot command it gives me error "FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)" and when I do it in download mode it says okay and gets stuck on booting... the phone itself downloads the recovery and displays flash images success (1/1) but nothing else happens.
HOWEVER after sending that command I tried the unlock bootloader command and miraculously it WORKED! I got access to recovery!! I think that being in the download mode explicitly helped the bootloader recognize the unlock token.

I then pressed ctrl+c which exits out of the stuck command and allows you to type "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
Somehow the bootloader got unlock which removed the device corruption check and I was able to boot.

With both, I flashed twrp tried to restore a nandroid backup and it stop at the black screen with HTC and powered by android.
I've also tried with stock recovery flash a RUU from SDCard, but I receives Error 14.
What I did was change this:
(bootloader) mid: 2PZC10000
(bootloader) cid: VODAP110
To this:
modelid: 2PZC50000
cidnum: BS_US001
I also tried to change the mainver from 1.27.166.7 to 1.16.617.6, and without it.
RUU from SDCard or PC always give me error 14 or 8.
Oh forgot to mention, when I'm in twrp I always get a message Failed to mount /cota (Invalid Argument)

I would recommend flashing a custom rom. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you successfully unlocked your bootloader. if that's the case then you just reflashed twrp on an unlocked bootloader. now because you're trying to downgrade your OS you need S OFF.
not sure about the mounting error in twrp. maybe try fastboot -w in download mode. sounds like the file system is corrupt. but once you're able to install a rom, use any custom rom and get sunshine for s off. the s off will allow you to downgrade using RUU mode. make sure you get the new htc_fastboot.exe from the temp folder of the RUU that you want to install.

I would recommend flashing a custom rom. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you successfully unlocked your bootloader. if that's the case then you just reflashed twrp on an unlocked bootloader. now because you're trying to downgrade your OS you need S OFF.

Hum, OK, thanks.
Yes, my bootloader is unlocked and I can flash recovery and boot.img successfully.
I'm at work right now at night I'm gonna try that fastboot -w option.
About the custom rom I've already tried leeDroid and MaximusHD but none of then booted.
What is this?
Failed to mount '/cota' (invalid argument)

Same here. It doesn't say that, but o know that's what my error messages mean because when I did this before, I forgot to tick that option in developer options. Now, since after I flashed leedroid, I haven't checked that box again, and now I can't boot. I was simply trying to relock the bootloader to get rid of that annoying message everytime it turned on, then this corrupt error pops up. Please someone lead us in the direction of the fix, even if that fix happens to be get a new phone, just so I have closure, tho I have a hard time giving up and I kinda never believed that a device can be fully "bricked," just super locked.

I can't guarantee this will work, but try the following:
Use the spreadsheet here to find the latest RUU for your phone's CID and MID.
Rename the downloaded RUU to 2PZCIMG.zip
Move 2PZCIMG.zip to the root of your external SD card. If you don't have an external SD card you'll need to get one. If using a PC make sure to format the card as exFAT.
Follow the instructions at 'https://www.the custom droid.com/how-to-restore-htc-u11-stock-firmware/#Method-1-Flashing-RUU-in-Download-Mode' to flash the RUU to your phone.
Good luck!
