This guide is made for those people who want to unroot and revert there HTC butterfly to stock firmware by flashing Stock RUU using ADB commands. this is tested personally by me. a compete detail explanation can be found in this link.
1. download the stock RUU in this link. This is a working Stock RUU image and can be flash only using ADB command. the zip file will prompt you that it is corrupted when you try to open manually. rename the file to PL99IMG.zip to flash it faster.
PL99IMG_DLXB1_U_JB_45_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.12.707.1_R_Ra dio_3A.22.306.10_10.07.1060.04D_release_signed.zip

2. You will need sdk & and drivers, please take a look here. if you already have it, continue. extract the folder and copy the PL99IMG.zip to that directory.
3. Reboot to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button
4. Connect your phone to the PC while in the bootloader. The phone should say fastboot USB, if not, select fastboot on the phone & check if it says fastboot USB, if not, change the USB port you are using.
5. open a command prompt and browse to the folder containing the ADB files.
6. enter the following commands
fastboot erase cache

7. You may not see any output, then enter the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Click to collapse
8. You phone will now go into the RUU mode.
9. Wait for around 30 seconds, then enter the command
fastboot flash zip PL99IMG.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if this error will prompt you. enter the command again in step 9.
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
Normal after Hboot version changes. You need to run only the flash command again (not the whole set of commands, just the fastboot flash command.)

Or you could rename this thread to 'How to flash RUU zip for X920D'
Does this include stock recovery?
So why do we have 2 threads .. ?? Just confused
Also when I tried fixing the zip, I didnt see any boot image in it.. can someone who has restored confirm that their kernel also actually reverted ?

you dont have to fix the zip file. let the internal RUU flash everything for you including the boot image. as i said never try to fix the zip file even though it saying its corrupted. only RUU will can open the zip file properly. this guide is a step by step procedure. alright? i confirm that this is working. this where the steps i used to revert my butterfly back to stock.

Agreed on that , whats baffling me is that boot image doesnt come up in the zip listing at all ... anyways, I am not in need of this , was just clarifying for others

This will put my Butterfly to stock everything right? Locked bootloader, stock recovery and all?

Yes this will revert your butterfly back to stock. and relock your bootloader
I guess this is a sort of side question, but is this the latest current software available for the X920D or is there an OTA available?
EDIT: Also what languages are available in this RUU?

Your bootloader is still unlocked. You didn't relock your bootloader. Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Hi all,

Okay I was flashing a ROM for the S4 version and the phone began rebooting in the middle of the flash. I realize my error so lets not focus on that Im just trying to fix the boot loop issue. Im trying to use fastboot to fix it but when the phone is connected to my windows 7 PC it makes the connected sound but the device cannot be found by fastboot and it is not shown in the sidebar tree. I cannot get into recovery the TRWP splash screen is displayed for 10 seconds then it goes to the HTC developers use only screen. Please help. Are there any options to repair the damage?

well don't give up then, it isn't bricked.
I'm guessing the way you worded it, you have a villeC2 (S3) version and you flashed (S4) ROM? So just make sure you have the S3 version of TWRP flashed and flash a boot.img and rom. wipe caches and you should be fine.
Never mind that if your phone is S4 and I misinterpreted that.
With phone in Bootloader, (fastboot USB) try and check fastboot devices again. Opening your folder with fastboot in it and shift right click, pick open command window.
fastboot devices
(should show a serial #)
flash recovery again, since it was bootlooping. That will probably allow it to be stable again so you can mount USB storage.
If you are in bootloader (fastboot USB) and command window on pc is ran from the correct folder but it still shows device cannot be found then reinstall fastboot drivers. That should fix it for you.

Im on the S4 variant my error was not flashing the boot.img separately
Im needing to run the cmd as admin so Im opening it up from the start button and changing the directory to the folder fastboot is in. I did get a serial # HT251W408295 fastboot. as shown
Just to confirm my next step is to flash recovery so my command line should be C:\Android fastboot flash recovery twrp2.1.6-ville.img
Correct?
Im using an older twrp cause I read that the newest one is not the best for HTC one S devices.
Thanks

That would work, BUT:
I see Maximus HD in that pic. For Maximus and any other ROM that uses 2.16 HBoot you can only use the recovery provided in the Maximus original post. It has been modified to work with the new partitions.
If you have moved back to or are still on HBoot 2.15 older firmware, then yes go ahead and flash like you are.
---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
oh, and usb storage (mount sd card) will not be available on this new recovery.
Easy way to move a ROM onto the phone while in this recovery is adb push
put ROM.zip in the adb folder and type in command window:
adb push filename.zip /sdcard

Sorry, you need to extract that zip on your pc and put the recovery.img in your folder. Or I guess just extract it in that same folder you are using.
then depending on the name of the recovery.img flash that. But I think that extracts to recovery.img
so
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

One of the possibilities with that error is a bad download. You may have to redownload the ROM.
Another is if you change the name of the rom, just in case you did that.

actually you type the command from pc
connect your device to pc in fastboot mode(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in your adb/fastboot folder
then open a cmd window in that folder and type the command
press enter

i replied in the other thread
Does S-on and S-off matter for this issue?
Hi,
I am facing the same issue, my Sensation z710e is stuck in Cyanogenmod boot logo. following are the details.
bootloader unlocked
s-on
rooted
cwm recovery installed
tried latest CM10 for pyramid devices
I didnt try 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command yet but i would like to know if s-on matters, my device is already rooted with cwm recovery.
I am having a similar issue as well. I have followed the instructions in this thread [ROM][STABLE][Android 4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel [July 18, 2014]. I have followed all the steps including doing a full wipe, flashed the ROM zip, gapps zip, and the aroma installer for the flash kernel several times with the same result. My screen keeps getting stuck on the white HTC loading screen.
Currently I have restored my phone to my previous ROM using a backup through 4ext recovery (v1.0.0.6 RC2). My HTC Sensation 4G T-mobile is unlocked and rooted with s-on. I have smartflash enabled on 4ext and my ROM is currently stock android 4.0.3. I did search the above mentioned thread for similar issues and a potential solution but none of the things I tried worked.
I would appreciate any help on how to fix this problem. If you need additional information I would be glad to provide it.
Tried another re-install today and everything worked fine, I guess the 5th time is the charm? I still don't know why it didn't work the other times, I did the exact same thing each time.
I am new to htc
i am flashing a custom rom for first time on htc
what do i have to know?
and what is needed?
and i am stuck on soft brick and cant mount internal storage
i am using
hboot 2.15
it shows tampered
and twrp 2.8
Tampered is shown because you probably unlocked your bootloader on the HTC dev site (which is the first thing you should do anyway)
Now, taking in consideration what you said in the Candy thread, can you enter in fastboot mode? You can do this by entering in bootloader (with phone off, keep pressed the vol down and press power). On the bootloader screen navigate with vol up/down and select with power button. Enter fasboot from there and while you connect the phone to pc via USB you should notice on uour screen a line saying "fastboot USB"
After this you shoul be able to flash the kernel in that mode. You should have ADB installed for this on your pc (it is done by installing the Android SDK) and the ADB/fastboot drivers working.
Let us know how it goes so far then we can go further

Do i need to s off
and ive noticed that even after flashing rom system folder is empty except for bin and by the way my device is t mobile
S-off is not mandatory but is good to have as the whole flashing process will be much easier. Is it somewhere in the bootloader screen written UNLOCKED? Above or below the "tampered"...

please my mind is not clear can you give me a link for kernal pleaseee
Kernel that you must flash in fastboot is the file boot.img located in the system folder in the ROM"s zip....that is, you'll have to open the zip you're flashing, go to system and extract that boot.img file. Save it on your pc in the same location where fastboot and adb are installed then open a command prompt there. You can flash it using the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command

Kernel that you must flash in fastboot is the file boot.img located in the system folder in the ROM"s zip....that is, you'll have to open the zip you're flashing, go to system and extract that boot.img file. Save it on your pc in the same location where fastboot and adb are installed then open a command prompt there. You can flash it using the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command
Edit: Here's an XDA tutorial how to do it in detail

În order to properly s-off, you might need a certain ROM to be installed. Have you tried to get s-off having that stock ROM you got after RUU?

Can s-off be achieved without an installed ROM?

Only by a j-tag device but I don't know how that works. The software methods presented here needs a ROM as far as I know

<<E:can't open /Rom (bad)
Installation aborted>>
Actually i've sent my s4 back to client service for a problem with volume buttons, sensation is the own phone I could use. what can I do ? I really need to solve this problem !

this is the latest version of 4ext

plug your device in fastboot mode and select fastboot from bootloader
if you see in your hboot screen fastboot usb then your device has been recognized
you can check it also with fastboot devices

i've plug my phone, i got back a prompt from pc saying the device could not be recognized or could be broken. i tried to flash recovery but command prompt is stuck on "waiting for device". i also tried to flash older roms(even gingerbread one), i always get (status 0) error. is there a way to restore the original firmware from a ruu ? Or anything else ? Or it's officially bricked ?
I had a little progress ! the phone now can mount sd-ext, sdcard and other partition, but flash interrupts due (status 1) error. what now ?

i saw again your first post
you have locked bootoader so you are limited to fastboot commands
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)
then try again flashing 4ext recovery via fastboot

Great ! just a thing: how do i check my md5 ?
I've found a way to get 4ext via zip from hboot, now recovery works againg but there is even the same problem: i can't flash any rom! just as curiosity, I enabled zip signature verification, but i'm told it's "unable to complete zip signature verification", due to some error.

download md5 checker for pc
open that program
navigate to the zip and select it to check the md5 sum
about that problem i don't know what to say
what error does tell you?
I dont want to open a nwer thread but since my problem is very similar I will post my problem here.
I am using andrid Revolution 7.6 and I have some problems on phone since I installed fasut123 kernel - i think my device just can manage the highest clock, so now I want to re-flash the rom. I have problem with the reading of my micro sd card.
I have a few problems
1)I got the message "mounted readonly" but I have solution how to fix that, that is the smalle rproblem.
2) the bigger problem is, when I formated the sd card, put it back in the sensation phone, and the device puts the file sistem on the sd crad and I put a cosum rom on the sd card, when I reboot in the recovery it says "error mounting sd card". Then I reboot the phone, and It just works normally, I can take videos, photos, the card is woking. But when I reboot to recovery, nothing.
I tried almost everything I thought will help, but I had no luck.
What do you think, what is going on, what is the problem?
