[Q] [HELP] Installed CWM, factory reset, now can't flash Custom ROMs or Restore

I used One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 to install CWM then stupidly (I admit) and
drunkenly (I'm ashamed to admit) wiped data without creating a restore
point and when I flash custom ROMs and reboot my device freezes on the HTC
boot screen.
I've managed to locate my CID & MID (cid: ORANG001 & mid: PG5813000) and
have added them to the android-info.txt located in PG58IMG.zip but when I
boot into bootloader and select fastboot the update is found but parsed
rather than flashed.
Some additional information:

Bit of a mess really. Any ideas?

If you've installed CWM for a different phone and wiped, then you're lucky it still works at all.
Install the right version of CWM right now.

It appears that you are HTC Dev unlocked. Because of that you will have to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Go to this guide to learn
how to do it.
But your Hboot version is supported by Revolutionary so I suggest you re lock your bootloader and then use Revolutionary to S-off your device before flashing the 3.32 firmware you will have to flash for any ICS ROM. Cause without you being S-off you will not be able to revert your firmware version. Plus if you are S-off your recovery can flash everything and you will not have to use fastboot to or Smart flash option in 4EXT.

I'm surprised your phone still works after using the One X method to root; considering the One X is a different phone.
Here the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 for reference to S-Off and stuff. I recommend you change you change your CID to 11111111 as well.
Change your recovery to 4EXT. Better in my perspective.

Firstly, thank you Rusty!, T-Macgnolia and You_got_owned123.
So, I've downloaded 4EXT recovery and will flash it and I understand that I need to be S-OFF before I can flash new firmware and if I change to Super CID I can flash any carriers firmware. But.... I need to be able to boot the phone to enable HTC Sync to run Revolution. Or is there a way to run it in Fastboot usb?
As soon as I achieved S-OFF I can change to SuperCID.

BOOM!
Okay... so, I flashed 4EXT recovery (which is much better that ClockworkMod) then flashed a Gingerbread ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.13) as it was compatible with my existing firmware and flashed the boot.img for the 1.56 kernel then used Revolutionary tool to achieve S-OFF so I could flash an ICS ROM (Sensation_3.32.401.5_odexed), GAPPS and update the firmware. I didn't SuperCID as I knew the firmware was compatible but may do that later while it's fresh in my mind.
That wasn't so hard, phew!!!

Haha, good job. Just make sure you use the approperiate firmware when flashing ICS ROMS. ICS require a different firmware than GB does.

Just reflash your unlock code from HTC dev install twrp then flash away
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Don't panic, this should be an easy fix.
Once you relock, you have to run a ruu or unlock again. But you're trying to run a ruu for older firmware, which is why it's failing.
Just push the unlock token again, and you should be able to boot to recovery. If not, push the recovery image again. I don't recommend CWM, even though it's been ported to this phone. That version of TWRP should work, just confirm that you've got the Evita version.

OK i have unlocked again and re pushed recovery TWRP 2.4.1.0
But I still cant boot into the recovery option..
PLease tell me what im doing wrong..

I believe through adv but is way simpler to do it through recovery. Try a earlier version of twrp
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

did you verify you are unlocked now, or did you just assume since you pushed the token again?

Also, are you certain you're using the right version of TWRP and not one for another phone (like the endeavour/Tegra One X)?

I pushed the same token and rebooted the device at the top its now says unlocked

ok i loaded that last night before i went to bed I went this morning to look at the phone and now it just goes to a black screen no madder what I do i put it in the computer the computer goes beep now when its plugged in my computer only the red light at the top flashes and then it disconnects from my computer because i can here the beep of adding and removing hard ware.

Here is my accomplishments so far:
- Unlocked with HTC Dec, therefore it says unlocked as mentioned above
- Installed TWRP v2.5.0.0, and can successfully boot into recovery
Yet to be done and do not know how to:
- S-OFF
- Super CID
- Permanent Root
Problems installing ROM:
- unable to install. Various errors with different roms, such as:
1) unable to mount sdcard
2) assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")
3) error executing updater binary in zip
Please advise. Thank you for your time.
Note: the device is locked to Rogers. It is currently in bootloop. I do not know what I did but before installing TWRP, the device went in bootloop after unlocking bootloader and it would simply not start. Although, as mentioned I can successfully boot into the recovery and mount the sdcard from there to transfer files to the phone.

Why are you relocked?
Unlock again and update TWRP, then try to flash a ROM again. What ROM(s) are you trying to flash.
Be aware that since you are s-off, you will need to extract boot.img from the ROM you are trying to flash, and manually flash with fastboot. You will need to do this every time you flash a ROM, unless you get s-off.
Also, I don't know why you posted to this old thread. Aside from the OP also having the Rogers version, it has nothing to do with your issue. Should have started your own thread.

I'll just clarify that when Redpoint said you need to update TWRP you should update it to TWRP 2.6, your current version (2.5) is very buggy. Also, he means since you are s-on you need to flash the boot.img, when you get s-off this will no longer be required.

Reverting back to stock issues (TELUS)

I'm sending this phone back for warranty (sim card error), and I can't seem to be able to get it back to stock. I've searched all over this site, so any help would be great!
This is a Telus phone, CID: TELUS001. Unlocked with viper rom installed. I can't seem to read my version, as fastboot getvar version-main does not return anything.
From the RUU download pages, only the Telus OTA is available for my phone.
I've tried numerous RUU's, but as expected, I'm getting version errors. I have also tried flashing the OTA over stock recovery, but the recovery can't recognize my SD card (not sure why). SD card is working properly though.

Telus did not release an RUU for that software version on our phone. So OTA is the only way.
So to do this properly as you are not S-OFF
download the OTA
extracted the recovery from the OTA & flash it
then fastboot erase cache
then relocked the bootloader
Then flash the zip through stock recovery.

Ok that's what I figured. I have done exactly this, but when I get to stock recovery I'm getting "SD card can not be found" errors. So using the OTA isn't possible right now. Do you know any other way?
I'll try and figure out the SD card error and go from there I guess.

You need to S-OFF first. Check if you are S-OFF in bootloader, if not, S-OFF then run any ATT RUU for the oneXL.
If you attempt to RUU without achieving S-OFF you will brick.

Ok I will try this sometime this weekend, thanks! Did you have to go the manual route for getting SuperCID? I have tried the batch AT&T file that has been posted, but it won't work for my phone.

You will probably need to downgrade your hboot to be able to write to mmcblk0p4. To do that you would need the jet tool.

I have a similar situation and was hoping to get some advice before I proceed. I need to return my Telus phone to stock to enable enterprise email (the GOOD app checks for root and doesn't access email if root is detected).
My device information is as follows:

HBOOT - 1.11.0000
RADIO - 0.18a.32.05.01_2
CID: TELUS001
Recovery: TWRP 2.6.0.0
ROM: JellyBam 7.8.0
I have read the warnings about applying an RUU when S-ON and SuperCID, but since I was S-ON without SuperCID, will the method of:
download the OTA
extract recovery from the OTA & flash it
fastboot erase cache
relocked the bootloader
flash the zip through stock recovery
work to restore my phone to stock? Will I risk bricking the phone?

Should work... Yes there is a risk. I would RUU instead of OTA though since the OTA does not flash everything back to stock.
I don't see why you would avoid taking the time to S-OFF though...

you have to flash the boot.img of a rom if you are s-on
must also be rooted.
1. plug phone into pc
2. mount sdcard in twrp
3. copy rom to your computer
4. extract boot.img
5. reboot to bootloader (also done in twrp)
6. highlight "fastboot" and press power and the phone should say "Fastboot USB"
7. open a command promt (type cmd into search box on windows7) and cd to your adb/fastboot folder
8. type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
9. reboot to recovery and install your rom
10. reboot system when done
if you arent rooted, use the toolkit in the development area and root.

What ROM are you trying to install? If it's any recent aosp your current hboot version is the problem. All current aosp ROMs require the 2.14 hboot which you can get by running the 3.18 RUU. S-off is highly recommended, if you run a jb RUU with SuperCID and s-on your phone will brick.
Sent from my Evita

I am trying to get cm10.2. so should my first step right now be getting the 3.18 RUU or getting s-off?

Ok, first, please read the instructions of any ROM you're going to flash, it's stated very clearly in the cm10.2 thread that an update is needed before flashing the ROM. One of the most important rules of XDA is to search before posting, proper searching limits the amount of unnecessary threads.
Get s-off first, if you don't already have SuperCID you will need that in order to get s-off. Use the hex edit method to get SuperCID, then you can get s-off in the Facepalm S-off thread. Your best bet to go through this process is to temporarily flash a Sense ROM, any Sense 4 Android 4.1 ROM should be fine. Once all that's done you can run the 3.18 RUU, then flash TWRP recovery again and flash CM.

ok i got both super cid and soff. so my next step is to flash a sense 4.1 rom correct? any suggestions?
edit: i downloaded RageXL so do i just flash in twrp?

No you don't need to do that, I meant you should try a 4.1 ROM in order to get s-off. If you have SuperCID and s-off now you can go ahead and run the RUU.

Not sure how you got that notion. Its actually a bit easier to mod older firmware versions, due to the fact that HTC keeps plugging the various exploits with successive (newer) firmware builds.
There is currently no firmware version for this device that would leave you "stuck" not being able to flash custom ROMs.

[Q] Stuck on Hboot/fastboot with full stock phone

Hi guys,
My sister sent me her HTC One SV aka K2-UL i offered her from expansys on june, it is stuck on Hboot
*** LOCKED***
K2_UL XA SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
eMMC Boot
...
I can go to Fastboot USB ( or AC )
She 's worst than a noob so phone is stock, up to date but non-root non-unlock, still S-ON and so on.
just once phone reboot and stay stuck...
From here i can navigate but after reboot i'm still here.
I tried :
factory reset and recovery (with rom renamed PL80DIAG but would be too easy...)
RUU but RUU asked for bootloader so stuck on "waiting for bootloader"
go to htc dev to unlock bootloader but after flash unlock token ( unlock token check successfully) but : Nothing happens and still writtten ***Locked*** then if I "fastboot oem unlock" it says failed :<remote : loading custom splash failed>
fastboot flash boot.img but nothing works since still S-on and locked bootloader (superCID is out too)
flash custom recovey or even fresh stock recovery but nothing worked for the same reasons...
Do you guys have any idea of something i could do?
Thanks for your answer and forgive my English I'm French

As long as you are ***LOCKED*** you can quiet do nothing.
To use our available RUU you must also be unlocked & S-Off.

Somewhat the same situation
I am stuck here:
***Tampered***
***Unlocked***
K2_PLC_CL PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT -1.01.0000
Radio - 1.12.00.0208
OpenDSP - v.7.2.0221.1123
eMMC - boot
Feb 8 2013, 16:29:40:-1
I can get into Fastboot as well as bootloader, I CANNOT GET INTO RECOVERY. I have tried to restore with the respective RUU files from the All things HTC ONE SV forum. I have also tried to flash the recovery boot and radio img files through fastboot usb. NONE of this has worked for me. I really enjoyed this phone before I went and made it all FUBR. If there is anyway to get it to boot to any recovery or rom, i will much appreciate it. Thanks for all your help from previous posts as well as any future help I get from information posted here.

Related to your hboot, you should be able to flash any recoveries, but i usually recommend this one.
What command do you use to flash recovery and do you get an output from "fastboot devices"?

Oops you already are 4.2.2. I have a system.img and a boot.img that I can make into a rom.zip to flash via the OEM-RUU mode.

Well then I was right then I was wrong. Sorry. HBOOT versions for the Sensation are stuck in my mind.

Thanks a million for the replies. I was able to lead the recovery and get into it (the most progress i have had in a year with this phone). With that being done. When I go into recovery I am unable to mount the internal storage. I am not too sure of the procedures I need to go through to get this thing functional again. I have been tinkering with my S3 for the last few months, but with KNOX on now I am looking to Jump ship completely from both verizon and samsung. Enough rambling, Like I said thanks for the help, any assistance in getting this thing to boot to a ROM would be much appreciated.
BTW
I used the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I have tried this before with no success. This time it worked.
I also flased the Radio and Boot img for ICS.
Thanks.

If you want I can just skip you to 4.2.2. You don't need to reflash recovery and stuff. I will make a package that will update HBOOT and radios. And system/boot.img.

He first needs to be S-off, to flash radio & hboot. I have made a 4.1.2 rom for cricket, must be linked in my index thread. Wipe all, flash the rom, flash boot.imgwith fastboot and hope that little baby is booting.
If yes, use moonshine.io or rumrunner.us to get S-off.
Then we will do next steps.

Wow! Awsome! This bad boy booted. I was able to flash the rom through recovery. This is much further than I expected to get with this device. Now when I try to go S-Off with either moonshine or rumrunner I get an error saying not able to make adb connection. When I use fastboot devices my device will show up...if i do adb devices nothing...Would love to have S-Off and SU installed. But like I said this is much further than I expected to get so anything further is icing on the cake. Thanks in Advance.

Is Usb-Debugging enabled?
Any output from adb devices? HTC Sync installed (for the drivers)?

He can just use the Naked Driver for the adb driver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822

Ok I DID have USB debugging enabled. After messing with the drivers and my Windows 8 computer, I have came to the conclusion that it is something with the drivers and their compatibility with Windows 8. Either way moonshine or rumnunner never worked for me in a windows 8 environment. I dual boot ubuntu 12.04 anyway, it saw my device just fine adb and fastboot. I ran moonshine and it went through all the testing stages, but was never able to completely run...so I still have no S-Off. Do I need to update Hboot or anything? Also am I able to load a custom rom on this device with S-ON? I have been looking but I do not see many out for this device at all, which is a shame because I feel as though it is very comparable to my GS3. It would be nice to see a nice AOSP ROM on this device. But all take any updates I can for the device, hopefully it will help with the issue I have will cell reception dropping all the time. Thanks

To answer some of your questions:
- you can't update hboot because you are not stock and not S-off
- there are indeed not much roms to flash, but you could do with S-on (and unlocked bootloader)
- if you would flash the Sense 5/Android 4.2.2 rom, you would have noizy sound, without the firmware files (which you need S-Off to flash)
Another way for getting S-off (which should work with your hboot), is facepalm.
But the part of changing CID to SuperCID is very risky, read carefully and only do, when you are sure you understand, what to do!!!

Thanks for all the help! I am now SuperCID with S-OFF, Facepalm worked like a charm. Would it be possible to put slimrom on this device? Anyway thanks for all the help, I am going to check out some ROMS..as far as flashing goes, I am assuming how I have my phone now I should be able to flash any rom that is compatible with the device.

Yea that would be cool. I am assuming I would just flash it through recovery?

You're completely S-OFF? The radios and new HBOOT update need to be flashed in RUU mode. Let me get my bearings and you can flash everything. (adb reboot oem-42 or fastboot oem rebootRUU is a way to get to RUU mode.)

Yes I am completely S-OFF with CID 111111 and SU. The phone has been working good, Cricket service is not all that great in my area. I see there is a software update 2.04.1050.5 (15.1 MB), I am assuming if i run this update it will most likely wipe everything I just did. Is this correct?

I think. Anyways, download this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/maa60jha4eod834/rom.zip
Contents of said rom.zip:
4.2.2 system.img with root.
4.2.2 stock boot.img.
4.2.2 stock recovery.
New HBOOT and radios and stuff.
If you get an error (flush again or something.), then just resend the command. (fastboot flash zip path/to/rom.zip)
