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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 here is our s off thread very easy after that you can flash the ruu and it will downgrade your hboot... I recokmend you flash to viper than you do s off..but I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec

Ok, here we go. Good to see you're still on 2.15 bootloader and 1.15 radio. So nothing bad has happened.
Guess your phone doesn't boot behind the htc screen, so all your files on internal memory are deleted?
---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
You'll find an appropriate backup here.
Simply download the following files:
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img
blabla_htc_stock_3.16.401.8.zip
Boot into fastboot mode, fastboot flash twrp 2.3.3.0 by typing 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img' from your android working directory (usually the directory where fastboot.exe and adb.exe are stored).
Mount your internal sd card from twrp 2.3.3.0 copy the unzipped files into the right directory and restore. Done.
I'm in the same boat. hboot 2.15 and radio 1.13 here. S-OFF and SuperCID.
Tried your steps above, and while I get a little further with the stock restore images you provide (Rosie even comes up!), process system stops responding, and the phone reboots in a couple of minutes.
Any suggestions?
You can start from the beginning install RUU.
Appropriate RUU can be downloaded from androidruu com, you should be locked before run.
To lock a phone:
power off
power on with volume down
from pc run "fastboot oem lock"
Yes.
Also I'm not shure about relocking. I usually restore stock recovery without relocking my phone before running any RUU. It even stays unlocked after the process (S-OFF!). But relocking isn't a big thing so, even it's for just being on the right side.
I forgot a main thing in my above answer: You must run factory reset from bootloader before restoring. Thats the point the backup hangs with rosie after restore. Factory reset with twrp isn't enough.

I ran factory reset and clear storage both before flashing TWRP and running the restore.
Process system isn't responding after awhile when starting up, and then it reboots a minute later
RUU restores don't work. They flash fine, but when booting, it hangs at white HTC screen with the "Preparing phone storage" message before rebooting. S-OFF usually bypasses relock requirement for RUUs.
Could you simply try HTC__001 as cid?
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
And flash boot.img from the backup from fastboot?
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That new partition layout seems to mess everything up...
Which recovery are you using? You should use TWRP 2.3.3.0 for restoring.

Sounds like a file or files in /system is messed up?
I'm guessing you can still access twrp/cwm recovery, if so could the following scripts help (deep cleanse your device)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121584
Then you could just flash a custom_rom .zip ?
I'd run the Superwipe first, then again a second time then a third just to be on the safe side, that or I have OCD!
Then run the Kernel script, once all done reboot back into recovery then install the custom_rom .zip. If you don't have a custom_rom.zip on your internal just mount usb and transfer it across.
Hope that helps.
Sounds like a mess described in this thread.
@muriani: Have you been on MaximusHD before?
Maybe you should reinstall MaximusHD then and follow the procedure over there to fall back to a previous state. I'll try that myself tonight (UTC+2) as I need a working phone for today.

MaximusHD doesn't work for me at all.
I've wiped /system numerous times, I'll go back and try the superwipe as well though.
I've never had such trouble getting a freaking android phone to boot.
Nothing I've loaded seems to work. I've reset CID, factory reset after the restore, and all I get is "preparing phone storage", reboot, and then black screen with statusbar that eventually reboots.
I've nearly given up hope.
Well, as a last resort, I set CID to T-MOB010 (stock for my phone), ran the latest RUU for T-mobile, and same result.
I've given it up for lost.
EDIT: HOLY F*CKBALLS.
So, I didn't give up after all. Found a couple of other threads, and apparently yes, you have to relock, reset CID, AND go S-ON (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3) and then run the RUU.
I have a stock fresh TMOUS 4.1.1 One S now.
Well, if there is nothing else left, I think I'd have tried the same, because there is nothing to loose. Btw, which s-off did you do before: Moonshine or Facepalm?
Can/will you s-off your device again?

I honestly don't remember which I used. I *think* it was Facepalm.
S-OFF will require SuperCID, which I really don't feel like going through again.
I tried just a basic update to the UnKnown JB 2.0 Sense rom and the thing didn't boot, so I think I may be stuck on stock+root for awhile.
Also, I'm noticing some pretty severe flakiness in the cell radio now. Full bars, I'd be trying to use data but there's just no traffic. Can't even play a 64kbps mp3 stream reliably with full bars 4G.
Hey i am using sense 5, rootroder helped me to rescue my mobile install 4.1.1 again, thank you very much...
And i use his advice doing super cid and s off and ite work... İ want to ask last thing, my htc is htc__102 from germany,, had i been needed to get supercid and s off with my mobile...

Thanks for your attention.
You can't upgrade with cwm from an over the air update. You must have your stock recovery for it to work. You can't install a boot.img with S-On unless you flash it through fastboot command, and not with a custom recovery. You have to unlock your bootloader before you can do any of this. Then relock your bootloader after you flash your boot.img and stock recovery.img.

That's the question, I flashed boot.img and recovery img (from a backup) using fastboot command.
And there's more: I see the red text in bootloader after apply the OTA, so applied the info on "[MOD][4.1.2] Remove Red Text in HBoot/Bootloader (for k2u & k2ul) - S-Off only!" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289357 with the same result as taking an aspirine. Then the same with

yes, the same: none. I'm getting amused trying to get my phone having 4.2.2 and sense 5 from 4.1.2 and 4+, but I will not having a brick (nice brick anyway, but useless).
Ahhh, I forget to tell you, after applying remove tampered, and rebooting to fastboot, the warning has dissapeared, but tampered and relocked remains. Is not funny ?
As you can guess, I'm not a guru in this matter. I wish it were MS-DOS , then there will be a chance.
You CANNOT FLASH A CUSTOM HBOOT while you are S-On and with a locked bootloader. My tutorial which you posted requires that you are S-OFF which you are not. You are currently S-On. Had you read my instructions in that tutorial you would had seen that.
In addition, you currently have a CUSTOM recovery on your device with a LOCKED bootloader which was a huge mistake.
You HAVE to unlock your bootloader to fix your problems. Once you unlock your bootloader you will be fine. YOU CANNOT FLASH ANYTHING IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED.
1.) Unlock your bootloader with your unlock_code.bin file, then restore your phone with your backup. If you do not have your PERSONAL unlock_code.bin file then you need to head over to HTCDEV.com and follow their guide to receiving one which will be sent via email to you.
2.) Insure you do not have a custom hboot, custom boot, custom kernel, custom recovery installed on your device - if you do then RESTORE them with your stock IMG's.
3.) After you have unlocked your bootloader, restored your device with your backup, and insured you have no custom .imgs on your device...... THEN, AND ONLY THEN, will you relock your bootloader. After which you will be able to upgrade your phone.

That's a help
. No problem with 1 and 3, but 2... I think it will be a little difficult. I've just no idea how to do this, specially how and where to get stock images.
You don't have any idea about how much patient and helpfull you are. Thanks very very much
Pull the boot.img from your backup and copy it to your computer. Insure you name it boot.img.
Now go I into CWM and restore your device with your backup.
Now go into fastboot so you can flash your boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now go into your recovery to confirm if it is stocked or custom. If shown a black screen with triangle then you are back to stock recovery. Otherwise it will still be CWM. If still CWM you will need to go to the link I will be providing in the below post and find a recovery.img suited for your device and flash it just like I told you to do with your boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At this point, I can only HOPE you do not have a CUSTOM HBOOT on your device but from the sounds of it you do not since you attempted that with a LOCKED bootloader which ultimately failed during its process.
So with that said, go ahead and relock your bootloader.

Looking for assistance with my phone. Currently it will not boot, but does take commands in Fastboot and Bootloader. I have an RUU, but it fails to read the battery level, and states it is below 30%. I extracted the ROM, and tried to zip update, but signature fails. I am very capable of following instructions, but have just hit a dead end. I currently have stock recovery due to TWRP not loading. I currently have 4.2.2 with Sense 5. If any other info is needed I will reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are most likely using the wrong TWRP due to your recent OTA.

I noticed it no longer displays how charged the batter is while powered down. It just shows an empty battery.
@c0nr0x
The boot.img has to be flashed when restoring from your backup because you are S-On. Take the boot.img (will be named something else - so rename it to boot.img). Then flash that boot.img using fastboot. That should resolve your boot issue after restoring your device.

It Has the text of press power to reboot in ewd letters, and some unreadable green letters behind it. Pressing the volume bar does nothing, and the HBOOT version stays the same.

You have to be S-Off to downgrade your HBoot. You are currently S-On.

@c0nr0x
When you wiped your device, did you wipe your system? Because if you did then that is why your phone won't boot even after flashing the boot.img. The boot.img has the kernel which is needed for your device to turn on and operate the android OS but without the system partiton then there is nothing to load from there so it will literally just hang on the splash screen which is that HTC logo. Can you confirm that you did indeed wipe 'system' from within the custom recovery and can you also confirm that you were running on 4.2.2. If both are yes, then I have your solution but it will need to wait until I am off of work, but I can get your phone up and going.

I'll go back a little further. I was on 4.1.x I beieve, and had an update. I backed up, put in stock boot and recovery. I then took 2 updates bringing me to 4.2.2. I was having data issues. No 4g, and intermittent 3g, so I wanted to s-off to reflash my radio. This is where it stopped booting (I ran rumrunner or bootleg), and had to wipe the int sdcard.

Here in your quote you said you were going to wipe. What exactly did you wipe? This is what I am needing an answer for. I believe I already know the answer. So when I get home, I am gonna share with you what you will need to get your phone back again .

I have used TWRP to wipe all at one point. Doing this is what enabled me to access the int sdcard. Prior to that I was unable to flash anything at all.

Ok, well basically, what is happening is you no longer have /system on your device. So when you flash the boot.img all is well but it hangs when you boot the device because there is nothing in the system partition to load. The system partition is what holds your system apps, frameworks, and so on. Without the /system you won't gain access to your device.

System.img and Boot.img

For these files would i use fastboot flash commands? If so, I haven`t flashe a system image before. Would it be flash sytem system.img?

I just remembered you are S-On. So unfortunately, system.img will be a pain for you. I'm booting up my pc as we speak. I will make a Rom for you to flash using TWRP. Ill be back with the link to download the Rom and with very easy instructions (so don't freak out lol).

The issue I'm having is, I can't get recovery to work. I have flashed it maybe 30 or so times and hasn't worked once.
Just RUU'd again so:
HBOOT: 1.10
CID: 11111111
Bootloader: unlocked
Security: Off
For some reason the time on the bootloader screen says nov 26 2012 :/
So here is what I've tried so far:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery 'recovery.img'
fastboot erase cache
then rebooted and tried to go into recovery. Never goes to recovery. Just reboots into the rom. What am I doing wrong? how do I fix this? I've tried CWM and TWRP. Neither work. I've read through most of the recovery related threads in the forum and have done all of the steps mentioned in them!
I also tried updating firmware and then flashing earlier when it was hboot 2.14. Still no luck so I RUU'd again...
Are u rebooting via adb?

After flashing recovery ,choose reboot in bootloader. Let drivers install. Then power off device..hold power volume down til recovery.

What Rom u on? Stock roms don't usually come with a reboot choser. If that's your case..download quick reboot from the market

Exactly which recovery are you flashing? What's the exact filename? What method are you using to boot into the recovery?

I just want to be clear so as not to create any confusion, the volume down + power button combination doesn't boot the phone to recovery, it boots the phone to the bootloader.

1) Nope not via adb. rebooting via fastboot or manually. Although I did try adb and no dice.
2) What drivers are you talking about? And as for the rest of it, I don't think that's how it works :S Once the device is off, holding volume down doesn't take you to recovery. It goes to the bootloader and then you have to select recovery and go there. If you could clarify this part, it would be helpful.
3) On the stock Rogers version of the stock rom. 1.94 I think. And yeah there is no way to get to the recovery from within the rom. Have to reboot with volume down held down. Or try and do it through adb. Both of which I have tried, to no avail.
You are correct on point two.

Okay so I've tried many different recoveries. Here they are:
1) 2.7.0.0 and 2.7.1.0 both taken from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/evita
2) 6.0.4.8 the touch version of the HTC One X(ATT) taken from here: https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3) and 2.7.0.8 unofficial taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738246
I tried them all with the same filename as downloaded and I tried them after changing the name to 'recovery'. The methods I've been using to boot into recovery are:
1) After flashing, type in fastboot reboot-bootloader and then select recovery.
2) From the rom, reboot phone and hold down the volume down button, then from bootloader select recovery.
3) From the rom, adb reboot recovery.
None of these work. The phone simply bypasses recovery and goes to the rom.
Can you please post the first five lines of your bootloader for me, exactly letter for letter.

I only have one idea, and that's to run a much more recent RUU in the hope that updated firmware will fix your issue. You need updated firmware anyway, otherwise you won't be able to flash any current ROMs. You're s-off so you can run any Evita RUU regardless of the carrier, no locking of the bootloader is needed, just connect your phone and run it. The 3.18 at&t RUU is the one you want, you'll find it here:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial.exe
Once you've run the RUU, try flashing a recovery again and report back.

THIS WORKED! I'm finally up and running. I've spent all day today essentially trying to solve this issue. Thanks so much!
Sweet. I had a feeling that might do the trick, glad you're up and running.
