[Q] Cannot flash any roms!

I've searched far and wide, and I found a lot of threads regarding the specifics of my problem, but none that solve it. A point in the right direction is much appreciated.
I have an AT&T HTC One X (used to be S-OFF now S-ON), unlocked, HBOOT 1.12.0002 CID 1111111
I've been running CM 10.1.3 for a while now and it's very glitchy and causes random reboots and freezes. I've been trying to upgrade to 10.2 or try a variety of different roms. When flashing I kept getting the following error: E:Error executing updater binary in zip..
I lived with the rom for a while because of the error, but today got fed up. I googled it and found out TWRP was probably the problem so I downgraded to 2.3.3.0. Then I got a (Status 7) error which means either that the ROM is not for the Evita (not true) or TWRP is out of date (true but necessary). I tried getting the .zip to stop checking what phone it was, didn't work.
SO I wonder if I have to upgrade HBOOT? I google it and try this guide.
It all worked up until the adb part, where at first it said the device was not there, then that it was offline, then it said permission denied. So I tried again thinking I did something wrong, but after flashing zip it said "FAILED(remote:99 unknown fail).
Now my phone is S-ON and stuck in bootloop. I'll flash boot.img and hopefully it will be fine, but I just want to know what the hell is wrong with my phone, any ideas? I cannot possibly continue with this stupid ROM as it's driving me nuts, but PHONE NOT COOPERATING.
Thanks!!!!!

Flashing boot.img did not work. I'm in bootloop hell.

Since you are S-On with SuperCID, I would say to revert back to your original CID and then flash the appropriate RUU. Make sure you definitely change back to your original CID, as trying to run the RUU with S-ON and SuperCID will brick your phone. You can then re-SuperCID your phone, unlock the bootloader, and try a new custom ROM. I would also recommend getting back to S-OFF after doing all of the above.

Hang on, there's something very fishy here. The hboot 1.12 is not an Evita hboot, that's an Endeavoru hboot. Please post your hboot details (the first five lines in bootloader), and please post the full filename of the ROM you're flashing.
I believe you're confused as to which device you actually have, and you're potentially trying to flash a ROM that isn't meant for your device.

Code:
adb version
How u get S-ON again anyway after S-OFF......FAILED 99 : check your adb version by entering this on your adb folder......most likely u got 1.0.29 version which is always show device offline....u need to update it to 1.0.31 version ....check other Q&A thread.....it been talking over and over again......if u do first XDA rules.....READ. As per timmaaa requested ......in case u dont know ...... power off your phone.....then hold both power button+vol down for few second and only let go power button while u still holding vol down.....this will bring u to bootloader

No I have "Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31".

Ah ok, that makes more sense! Are you absolutely sure the ROM you're flashing is an Evita ROM? Where did you download it and what is the full filename?
You said the phone was s-on but not anymore? Why did you return it to s-on? You're gonna need to get s-off again so you can RUU up to 3.18 so you can flash the recent aosp ROMs. When you get the error 99 after flashing the zip, just force a reboot back to bootloader by holding volume down and power together. Once you're back in bootloader you can start again (without the adb reboot bootloader command because you're already in bootloader) and you should get error 92 now. Now, before you give the adb soffbin commands you need to make sure the screen is unlocked and stays unlocked, also make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options. If it's an aosp ROM you'll also need to grant root access to adb in developer options.
For now my suggestion would be to download a Sense ROM, preferably Android 4.0 or 4.1, this should at least boot and enable you to get s-off on your phone again. Don't forget top flash the boot.img via fastboot.

Well if u said is right on OP......U bought AT&T HTC ONE X it should have AT&T LOGO in the front......if u do that mean your original CID I believe if I'm not mistaken are CWS__001 . If I were u ......I just keep continue try S-OFF first by going back to Android 4.0 ICS Rom and flash original rom boot.img manually from fastboot and check my other Q&A THREAD coz I had same error with u.......but I'm S-OFF now

I decided to boot into recovery and flash CM 10.0.0, and so I got out of bootloop. It's very glitchy, the keyboard keeps crashing, but it "works".
Now I'm trying to get S-OFF using this tool. At first it didn't work, so I changed the CID back to original. Now I get the following error:
Before we continue:
Ensure your phone is rooted.
Disable "Fast boot" on the phone under Settings -> Power.
Enable "USB Debugging" under Settings -> Developer Options.
Make sure your HTC One XL is connected to your mac via a USB cable.
When you're ready, press return to continue...

ERROR
There was a problem converting the CID in the local copy of your binary partition
and we can not continue.
Press return to exit
It might be that I did not disable fastboot, but that is because the option is just not available on the phone, there is no "Power" category. I did enable debugging, but there was no notification in the menu bar making me maybe think that the OS is just too glitchy for this to work.
I didn't know what else to do, tried unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev but when I got to step 13 the notification did not come on screen like it was supposed to and so that was unsuccessful. I guess this was a silly idea.
I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible in case this happens to anyone else!
Cannot find stock Android 4.1 as suggested, for some reason. I found this, but I have a mac and .exe files mean nothing to me. I figure 10.0.0 has to be as stable as it gets with what I have, so I reflashed and boot.img. Now I'm stuck in bootloop again! Am I not meant to have nice things?
Could you suggest a rom to download and flash? After that I'll try S-OFF via Facepalm again.

Well try any ICSbase rom......i did tried cleanrom 4.2 ICS base Rom sense 4.......but since u on 1.14 hboot u need to extract boot.img from original Rom to your working adb/fastboot folder and push it manually from fastboot.....
1.put ICS of your choice inside ur SD card
2.copy or extract boot.img from Rom you about to flash and place it inside your working adb/fastboot folder.
3.connect your phone to PC and make sure USB debugging check....and HTC driver install properly
4. Flash Rom from recovery and choose go back> reboot> bootloader and this would bring u to fastboot USB mode if u have correct driver install and USB debugging check .
5. Go to your adb/fastboot folder hold shift+right click > open command Window .....and enter code to push boot. img tru fastboot......I forgot the code...but I'm sure timmaaa knew out of his head......
6.if successfull......reboot system and u should have working ics sense 4 Rom
7.play with it a day or too before u attempt facepalm S-OFF and in the mean time do more reading.......

[GUIDE][TOOL]FUU/FirmwareHTC One S

General Information
This Has Been Made To Help Those How Have No Clue What There Doing When Upgrading There Firmware Note And Want A One Click That Mimiks HTC RUU
New From Prism Pirate Chest of goodies here it is FUUFor The One S
FUU Definition
Firmware Update Utility
There are a few Firmware flashing threads and lots of zips and good and bad instructions. However, i noticed that many users asked about what they get when they flash what they download and also about how to flash it with S-OFF on various threads. This confusion has occasionally lead to people losing their custom kernels and custom recoveries and/or their SDcard partitions being unintentionally wiped.
I am writing this because i believe in "responsible" sharing. Since the full RUU's aren’t shared but only components (modified as well as unmodified) with often insufficient documentation, which in turn leads to a lot of confusion among the lesser informed users, i will try to catch some of that. I believe that sharing full RUU's would be a lot safer, as only those who actually know enough about it can disassemble them. RUU’s do always reassure users that there is a guaranteed and safe way to go back.
FUU How To​
Prerequisites:​All you need is a Windows System with current drivers and maybe HTC Sync Manager installed, it is better to have HTC Sync uninstalled and only the drivers left. Just try if the FUU runs without HTC Sync. On my system, i am always greeted with an “Error 170" if i try to run the FUU on a booted Android - it doesn’t recognize the phone with ADB. This is a typical driver and/or ADB error. Solution here: make sure you have the latest driver suite. FailSafe way to get them is to install HTC Sync Manager (remove it if you don’t like it afterwards but leave the drivers in the sytem!).​
ZIP Flash HowTo​
Step-By-Step:​1. If device is booted into Android, reboot into bootloader by running:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
1.a Or else, if your device is in a different state or you just prefer the button method:
Press Power for 15 seconds and hold Vol Down at the same time, when the screen and charging LED go dark immediately release Power but keep holding Vol Down until you see the bootloader screen. Notice: If the device refuses to reboot, you might need to hold it to a bright light with its light sensor. This is a very specific bug in the HTC ONE. The light trick always works.
2. Now place the Firmware_named_something.zip into your adb/fastboot folder
3. Now run:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Followed by:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_named_something.zip
(replace "Firmware_named_something.zip" with the name of your zip)
5. Now check the console output. It should approximately look like this:
“flush" certainly means “Flash" so press the arrow up key on your keyboard and enter to run the flash command again without reboot...
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution! The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot! The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
6.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Error handling strategies:​IF IT SAYS "FAILED" do not immediately reboot the device If you reboot with a FAIL it could not boot up anymore! It could brick! If no flash is being accepted you have to find out what is causing the malfunction before rebooting your phone. Keep it alive while trying to figure out the error. It might be your cable, your USB ports (dont use hubs! Always straight-to-mainboard connections), it might be USB 3.0 which is not good yet, it might be bad configuration of your ADB and Fastboot... there are many possible sources for flash fails.
The least dangerous FAILED messages are listed below and are safe to reboot:
Safe to reboot / Flash didn't happen Errors (if you encounter one of them, you can just reboot. Nothing changed):
- 12 signature fail (unknown yet but safe to reboot)
- 23 parsing image fail (means something wrong with the image in the zip)
- 32 header error (means the zip couldn’t be read and unzipped properly)
- 41 Wrong Model ID (means its not the right device)
- 42 Wrong Customer ID (wrong CID means you gotta swap cid first as explained below)
- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions WITHOUT a reboot inbetween).
- 99 UNKOWN (is not yet clear but safe to reboot, might indicate a defunct S-OFF or S-ON)
- 155 you did not lock your bootloader (Needs a relock for S-ON phones that want to update the firmware.)​
In fact, if it aborts before the "(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping & flushing..." line it actually didn't write anything and you can probably just reboot. If you see it flashing stuff though (the stages after that line) and then it stops with a FAILED, chances are a little higher that something is now broken. In that case do NOT reboot but do as i said above.
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
For Error 23 "parsing image fail" do:
- change image names in the zip to stock image names like “hboot.img" or “radio.img" or whatever failed there....
For Error 32 "header error" do:
- Sorry i haven’t found the exact cause yet and don’t know a definite solution.
- Make sure there is only one . (dot) in the filename, before the extension. fastboot reads anything after the first dot it sees as the extension. If that is not zip, it fails.
- If that doesn’t help, you can also try: make the zip new with recommended settings, re-run the command, check your connections...
For Error 42 "Wrong Customer ID" and: 41 "Wrong Model ID" do:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Read that output, take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly (For Wrong MID change the MID in the text, for wrong CID add your CID to the text).
Alternative method for MID and CID errors:
go SuperCID. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
You can change back to any desired CID after a successfull firmware flash. Notice: this command only works on S-OFF phones (which you have already of course or else you wouldn't be here).
For “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." do:
- Run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)
- Don’t reboot in-between! (It wouldn’t brick you but it would just make you run the flash command twice again)
- This might be caused by the newer encrypted RUU's, they need their hboot to be flashed first so it can then decrypt the rest of the ROM.zip. Look at an encrypted ROM.zip from a RUU, you will notice that you can mostly extract the hboot without decrypting the ROM.zip, but you can't extract much else.)
For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- Tell me if you find out what’s causing an unknown error here!
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- run the fastboot command “fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware. There a relocked bootloader is required. This error won’t show on S-OFF phones.
- Error 155 can also mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of wrong region lock.
For “Error 170 Check USB" do:
- Sometimes shown when running a RUU or FUU. Indicates issues with drivers or ADB/Fastboot binaries. One way to solve is to run the exe with the phone already in Fastboot mode. Else you will have to dig into your windows driver system and try to fix there. Best option: re-install HTC Sync manager. Also, avoid USB 3 ports (the blue ones) - they have a complete new driver stack and that doesn’t work with ADB and Fastboot.​
I always test all of these zips on my own device. But as always, flash at own risk. You're writing to critical parts of your phone. If anything goes wrong along the way, you might be bricked.

Great Thanks,
So if i am correct, i can run this tool, it will update my hboot to 2.16 and then i can install MaximusHD 10.0.0?
or do i need to install MaximusHD 10.0.0 first on Hboot 2.15 and then run this tool for Hboot 2.16 and then flash MaximusHD 10.0.0 again?

Thanks very much for your work on this. So the Downgrade FUU doesn't flash a recovery? Will it reboot the phone to the bootloader screen to flash the recovery from there?

I may be understanding this wrong,but after downloading and running FUUsetup, and opening the application,it tells me it's going to update my firmware version to 4.05.401.1, doesn't that include HBOOT 2.16? Instead,I now went from 2.15 to HBOOT 1.04.0000...
Nvm, did it again and now it says 2.16. Still weird though that the first time I went to 1.04.. Installing the second time, it the screen even said from: 4.05.401.1 to:4.05.401.1
Anyway, ultimately it worked so thank you very much!

[GUIDE][TOOL]FUU/Firmware HTC One Mini

General Information
This Has Been Made To Help Those How Have No Clue What There Doing When Upgrading There Firmware Note And Want A One Click That Mimiks HTC RUU
FUU Definition
Firmware Update Utility
There are a few Firmware flashing threads and lots of zips and good and bad instructions. However, i noticed that many users asked about what they get when they flash what they download and also about how to flash it with S-OFF on various threads. This confusion has occasionally lead to people losing their custom kernels and custom recoveries and/or their SDcard partitions being unintentionally wiped.
I am writing this because i believe in "responsible" sharing. Since the full RUU's aren’t shared but only components (modified as well as unmodified) with often insufficient documentation, which in turn leads to a lot of confusion among the lesser informed users, i will try to catch some of that. I believe that sharing full RUU's would be a lot safer, as only those who actually know enough about it can disassemble them. RUU’s do always reassure users that there is a guaranteed and safe way to go back.
Prerequisites:​All you need is a Windows System with current drivers and maybe HTC Sync Manager installed, it is better to have HTC Sync uninstalled and only the drivers left. Just try if the FUU runs without HTC Sync. On my system, i am always greeted with an “Error 170" if i try to run the FUU on a booted Android - it doesn’t recognize the phone with ADB. This is a typical driver and/or ADB error. Solution here: make sure you have the latest driver suite. FailSafe way to get them is to install HTC Sync Manager (remove it if you don’t like it afterwards but leave the drivers in the sytem!).​
FUU How To​
[*]Download the firmware you want
[*]then run the installer
[*]install it to folder you want to any folder will do
[*]then run the tool and upgrade or downgrade your firmware
ZIP Flash HowTo​
Step-By-Step:​1. If device is booted into Android, reboot into bootloader by running:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
1.a Or else, if your device is in a different state or you just prefer the button method:
Press Power for 15 seconds and hold Vol Down at the same time, when the screen and charging LED go dark immediately release Power but keep holding Vol Down until you see the bootloader screen. Notice: If the device refuses to reboot, you might need to hold it to a bright light with its light sensor. This is a very specific bug in the HTC ONE. The light trick always works.
2. Now place the Firmware_named_something.zip into your adb/fastboot folder
3. Now run:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Followed by:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_named_something.zip
(replace "Firmware_named_something.zip" with the name of your zip)
5. Now check the console output. It should approximately look like this:
“flush" certainly means “Flash" so press the arrow up key on your keyboard and enter to run the flash command again without reboot...
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution! The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot! The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
6.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Error handling strategies:​IF IT SAYS "FAILED" do not immediately reboot the device If you reboot with a FAIL it could not boot up anymore! It could brick! If no flash is being accepted you have to find out what is causing the malfunction before rebooting your phone. Keep it alive while trying to figure out the error. It might be your cable, your USB ports (dont use hubs! Always straight-to-mainboard connections), it might be USB 3.0 which is not good yet, it might be bad configuration of your ADB and Fastboot... there are many possible sources for flash fails.
The least dangerous FAILED messages are listed below and are safe to reboot:
Safe to reboot / Flash didn't happen Errors (if you encounter one of them, you can just reboot. Nothing changed):
- 12 signature fail (unknown yet but safe to reboot)
- 23 parsing image fail (means something wrong with the image in the zip)
- 32 header error (means the zip couldn’t be read and unzipped properly)
- 41 Wrong Model ID (means its not the right device)
- 42 Wrong Customer ID (wrong CID means you gotta swap cid first as explained below)
- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions WITHOUT a reboot inbetween).
- 99 UNKOWN (is not yet clear but safe to reboot, might indicate a defunct S-OFF or S-ON)
- 155 you did not lock your bootloader (Needs a relock for S-ON phones that want to update the firmware.)​
In fact, if it aborts before the "(bootloader) start image[hboot] unzipping & flushing..." line it actually didn't write anything and you can probably just reboot. If you see it flashing stuff though (the stages after that line) and then it stops with a FAILED, chances are a little higher that something is now broken. In that case do NOT reboot but do as i said above.
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
For Error 23 "parsing image fail" do:
- change image names in the zip to stock image names like “hboot.img" or “radio.img" or whatever failed there....
For Error 32 "header error" do:
- Sorry i haven’t found the exact cause yet and don’t know a definite solution.
- Make sure there is only one . (dot) in the filename, before the extension. fastboot reads anything after the first dot it sees as the extension. If that is not zip, it fails.
- If that doesn’t help, you can also try: make the zip new with recommended settings, re-run the command, check your connections...
For Error 42 "Wrong Customer ID" and: 41 "Wrong Model ID" do:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Read that output, take note of your CID and MID and then edit the "android-info.txt" in your firmware.zip accordingly (For Wrong MID change the MID in the text, for wrong CID add your CID to the text).
Alternative method for MID and CID errors:
go SuperCID. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
You can change back to any desired CID after a successfull firmware flash. Notice: this command only works on S-OFF phones (which you have already of course or else you wouldn't be here).
For “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." do:
- Run the same flash command again which you just ran (press arrow up on your keyboard to get to the previous command in console)
- Don’t reboot in-between! (It wouldn’t brick you but it would just make you run the flash command twice again)
- This might be caused by the newer encrypted RUU's, they need their hboot to be flashed first so it can then decrypt the rest of the ROM.zip. Look at an encrypted ROM.zip from a RUU, you will notice that you can mostly extract the hboot without decrypting the ROM.zip, but you can't extract much else.)
For “Error 99 UNKNOWN" do:
- Check with other zip’s if they work!
- Check if your S-OFF is correct
- Tell me if you find out what’s causing an unknown error here!
For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:
- run the fastboot command “fastboot oem lock" - only applies to S-ON phones that want to update the firmware. There a relocked bootloader is required. This error won’t show on S-OFF phones.
- Error 155 can also mean that you need SuperCID. On a few occasions this was shown when the RUU/FUU refused to run because of wrong region lock.
For “Error 170 Check USB" do:
- Sometimes shown when running a RUU or FUU. Indicates issues with drivers or ADB/Fastboot binaries. One way to solve is to run the exe with the phone already in Fastboot mode. Else you will have to dig into your windows driver system and try to fix there. Best option: re-install HTC Sync manager. Also, avoid USB 3 ports (the blue ones) - they have a complete new driver stack and that doesn’t work with ADB and Fastboot.​
I always test all of these zips on my own device. But as always, flash at own risk. You're writing to critical parts of your phone. If anything goes wrong along the way, you might be bricked.

The phone is ocked en not S-off
I know i must flash the RUU, but i cannot find a european RUU.
Please help?

A little confused
What are the requirements in order to perform a firmware update? Does the device need to be S-off or have super CID?
If I'm only wanting to update my hboot, do I just follow the FUU instruction and ignore the Zip Flash instructions? or do I need both?
Sorry, it's just a little unclear to me.
Thanks!
Nevermind - the answer is yes, you do need to be S-Off and THANK YOU! It worked perfectly!

[Q] Soft bricked HTC One S (S4).. Which RUU to use? Have Fastboot Info

Hi everyone..
I am sitting on a One S which has an unlocked bootloader, is not S-off, Hboot 2.15.
Previously was rooted and had Viper Rom installed 3.1, experienced lot of random reboots, tried to go S-OFF with rumrunner and moonshine, without it working.
Tried to return to a nandroid backup (TrickDroid 9.0) but now system is not responding and results in a reboot after 1-2 minutes after rom is booted.
I would like to return to Stock Rom with a RUU, but I can't seem to find the right one and I really need some help..
Even if I found the right one I don't know how to install it because phone keeps rebooting and fastboot doesn't seem to work on Win 8.
HELP!!

Okay. I got fastboot to work on my girlfriends computer and windows 7..
I got the following from running "fastboot getvar all":

Which RUU should I get my hands on?
And do I need to run any fastboot commands before I try installing the RUU?

same
i've ****d mine to lmao

I tried all the RUU's on the RUU page from one of the sticky posts that had anything to do with T-mobile (since the device came with that as a splash screen) or Europe editions without any positive outcome.
I received Error 130 or 131 at all RUU installation that had either "Europe" or "TMO" in them..
I will keep on trying to find the right RUU, but I would really appreciate if someone had the answer and spoke up..
Thanks!

I have not seen a RUU that had a radio version that high. The highest version I have seen is 1.13. I think that's the problem.

Is there no way to downgrade the radio?
I mean I have access to fastboot and TWRP recovery..?
Maybe by using a nand backup or so?

AFAIK there is no way unless you are S-OFF. I'm not sure how you got a radio version that high. Someone with more knowledge needs to chime in.

Well, no I'm not in the US. I live in Denmark.
The phone however was bought in Germany 2 years ago, and was delivered from T-mobile I think.
I will give this a try.
However the reason I want to get back to STOCK is due to getting S-OFF.
If I can get the phone working as it is now with TrickDroid 9.0 ROM that would also suffice. At least for quite some time.
The problem I have with the ROM is that "system" stops responding on boot.
I am thinking that this problem could be due to kernel incompatibility because the phone had the Viper One ROM before, which I think flashed another kernel together with the ROM.
Could this be the problem and could it be solved with flashing a new kernel?
However is it possible to flash a kernel without the use of the recovery?
I can't mount the internal memory and the phone has no slot for a SD card
Again.. Thanks!

This seems to be the place to get help.
Did you do an md5 on the files before flashing? Do you remember flashing boot.img from TrickDroid?

Already did post in there, with no responses so far..
Well I had TrickDroid 9.0 running fine before I updated to Viper One ROM, and this was when problems started happening.
Then I went back with a NAND restore from recovery..
I don't remember flashing the boot.img, as I thought that followed along when I flashed the TrickDroid ROM, but since I think that doing a NAND recovery, doesn't bring a long the kernel I guess that if I installed the kernel from TrickDroid I could get the phone working with this.. What do you think?
Which file contains the kernel..? Is that the boot.img?
Once again, thanks for putting an interest in this post and helping me out! You're a lifesaver so far!

If you are not s-off then you need to flash the boot.IMG.
If you didn't do this, then could be the problem. AFAIK the boot.IMG contains the kernel.

Here's another link that might help.
http://www.guidingtech.com/12705/solve-boot-loop-htc-one-x-custom-rom/

Latest radio for WWE devices was 1.15 and it's not a problem you have that. For me it proved to be better than 1.20 which is coming from the leaked firmware 2.16 so it's unofficial. You can't flash a different radio unless you're S-Off or have a lower hboot (1.09 or below) which you don't have. Stay with 1.15 it is OK
If you're S-On you MUST flash the ROM kernel EVERY time after you flash a ROM. This is done by extracting the boot.img from the ROM ZIP and flash it via fastboot command (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Also no nandroid restore will flash back the kernel from the backup since it is not possible to write to that partition if you're S-On
Now, what options do you have... First you must decide WHICH ROM do you want on your phone. If it's latest Viper you would like, fine, it's a very good ROM, stable and with lot of customization and support. What you should do is like this:
1. Download the ROM, save it on your pc and check MD5 sum
2. Extract the boot.img from it. This is a little bit tricky since Viper use an Aroma installer and it's made for both 2.15 and 2.16 hboots. So the boot.img is not in the ususal place in the zip file (that is the root of it) and also it is not called plain boot.img. It is located somewhere in the ZIP folders (sorry but I don't use Viper and don't have the zip at hand to tell you exactly where to look) and it should be named something like boot_2.15.img (or something like this). Look into the ZIP and try to locate this file, you should find 2 files named similar one with 2.15 and one with 2.16 in their names. The one you need is the one containing 2.15 in the name. Extract that one on your pc
3. I assume that you have ADB/fastboot working and you can launch the fastboot command from any directory on your pc (it's in the PATH). If not it could be that command will not work. In this case copy the extracted boot_2.15.img in the folder where you have fastboot (usually Android-SDK/platform-tools) and open a command prompt there
4. Restart the phone in recovery and mount the USB storage from it. You should see it after a while on your PC. Don't worry if it doesn't appear instantly, but it shouldn't take more than 1-2 min. Eventually unplug the phone and plug it again into USB. If you cannot mount the USB and have it accessible from PC we have to try the ADB Sideload but first we'll see if you get there and we need this. For now I presume you can mount USB and you can access it from PC. OK, now copy the ROM ZIP on your sdcard in a folder you'll remember
5. Now flash the ROM in recovery as you normal do and wipe cache/dalvik when prompted to
6. Restart your phone in bootloader and plug it in the USB. Go to fastboot and on screen you should see "FASTBOOT USB". Issue on the pc in the opened command prompt the command "fastboot devices". It should return the device id and that's the proof the device is recognised by the fastboot command. If you have returned an blank response or something like an error, check if drivers and everything on your PC is installed properly for fastboot to work
7. If "fastboot devices" returns something (should look like "FA2BGW... fastboot") then you're good to go. Issue from the same command prompt the command "fastboot flash boot boot_2.15.img" (replace boot_2.15.img with the actual name of the file you have extracted from the ROM zip)
8. Restart to system
At this point you should have Viper 3.1.0 flashed and working. Check and setup the ROM then you may want to download the 2 OTA updates and install them to get to the latest 2.1.3
let us know how it went and where are you stuck. Note every error message you might get and better ask first than be sorry later...
Good luck

Could you maybe provide a link to the WWE RUU that has the 1.15 Radio? I have been searching almost everywhere unable to find it and I would really like to go back to stock so that I can use rumrunner or moonshine to get S-off and avoid all the hassle that I have right now.. xD

There's definitively a lot I will have to work with.
As far as I know I can't mount the Internal memory over the USB while in recovery (I have no SD-card slot in my One S), however I will check it out later and get back to you.
I would very much like to get back to TrickDroid first of all, since it's the ROM already installed on the device I think I only have to flash the kernel and then it should be working.
If it is so I can then put Viper One ROM on the phone and flash that using the procedure that you described above.
However I am unable to find the TrickDroid 9.0 ROM since the ROM seems to have gone out of development.. Or at least that is my guess. If I'm lucky I have it somewhere on my old laptop and can get the boot.img from there. And as well I know how fastboot and ADB works, I just need the commands that I will be using.
I will try to find the TrickDroid boot.img and flash that using fastboot and then I will get back to you.
If I don't find it, is it then possible that another kernel might support TrickDroid (like ElementalX or whatever it is called)?

No, you don't have a card slot but you should be able to mount the internal memory as an sdcard

Yes, you could flash ElementalX but that was gone further to support the newer ROMs like Viper 3.x. I think it's a better idea to flash Buletproof kernel (also by flar2) that was compatible with older Sense ROMs. It similar with Elemental but more stable and close to stock with some added goodies

Sounds good. I would try and flash that boot.img. I had a similar problem but was able to find an RUU that worked.
Maybe you just missed this part (or not)
Reboot into bootloader
Go into fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Reboot

I should point out that I did NOT have success with ViperOneS. It looks awesome and did lots of things well except hold onto calls! Every time I would make a call, it would hang up for no reason. This problem apparently doesn't happen to everyone, but it did to me.
BTW: I have CM11 running so smoothly on my HTC One S. Pretty much all of my major issues are fixed. Only the limitations of google remain.

I tried all the "Europe" and "TMO" version already.
Will try the WWE versions in the coming days if I get time. However it doesn't look like there is no 1.15 Radio ones..

As far as I could read on the bulletproof kernel page, it requires S-OFF if you're going to use v. 2.x+. I guess I would have to use the version just before 2.0 which is 1.4?
I downloaded the 1.4 version and it contains 4 folders:
boot
kernel
META-INF
system
Is the boot image that is found in the boot folder the only file I will need to flash to install the bulletproof kernel 1.4? Installation on the page said I would need to flash it from recovery, but I am unable to go into recovery. Aka I found a huge problem. Since I tried to install some RUU's I am no longer able to get into recovery because I locked the bootloader..
What do I need to do?
I would suppose that I needed to flash the boot.img from the bulletproof kernel, while being in fastboot, but I don't know how that works with the bootloader being "relocked" so I will stand by for an answer..
Another thing I could do would be to go to the HTCDev page and try to unlock the bootloader again..
Which would you recommend?

OK, so it's like this. You're right, I forgot that some kernel zips don't contain the boot.img itself, instead they extract the boot.img from your current ROM and repack it, that's why it is required to have S-Off because this operation can be made only in recovery (or by repacking the kernel on your pc but that's more complex and don't want to go through it since it requires Linux and other things). You should find an older kernel ZIP like the 1.4 you mentioned and use the boot.img from it.
Also you should unlock the device again at HTC dev to be able to flash the kernel in fastboot. After unlocking you can re-flash TWRP recovery and If I was you I would rather flash Viper 3.x ROM from recovery then flash the boot.img from it in fastboot, instead of trying to get a boot.img that works with TrickDroid
Now to the radio...latest US radio was 1.11 and latest Europe radio was 1.13. That's why you could not find 1.15 radio in those RUU. Version. 1.15 should be in a WWE RUU but I don't know exactly in which one. Initially I had 1.09es radio and only after changing to another hboot I was able to flash a different one. And I've upgraded my radio via tecardo's zip flashable in recovery since my hboot allows it even if I am not S-Off. There were some older hboots like 1.09 and 1.06 that allows almost everything a S-Off will allow (flashing radios and kernels from recovery that is)
If you're at this point (almost stock) I would try to flash a stock RUU (any stock RUU) and try to get S-Off first. If you previously tried to get S-Off while you were on Viper...that could be the problem. I heard many people having issues or not able to properly S-Off due to the fact they were not on stock ROM. Maybe now it's a good point to start over since you don't have anything to loose anyway. Then the things will be much easier, you could upgrade your radio from the ZIP directly, without the need to flash a RUU for that. If you don't want to try that again, just follow my advice above: unlock the bootloader again on HTC dev site, flash TWRP recovery then flash Viper 3.x and it's kernel in fastboot. You'll end up with an S-On device running on 2.15 firmware and latest Viper. Only downside to this is that you will be stuck with your current radio (the one from the RUU you flashed). You could even flash an AOSP KK ROM if you like, the same way

Okay. Just to put in aspect I have the following choices:
Try to gain S-OFF as phone is now with rumrunner or moonshine
Try to get TrickDroid to work by flashing a kernel that is supported
Try to flash Viper and it's kernel from fastboot
If I try to gain S-OFF using rumrunner, do I still need to unlock the bootloader through HTCDevs?
I will try the first mentioned choice first, since gaining S-OFF would ease stuff up quite a bit.
If I can't gain S-OFF using rumrunner I will try to use moonshine.
If that doesn't work either I will be happy with just getting TrickDroid 9.0 to work as a starter.. Step by step procedure to actually gaining a working device firstly.
Then I can start thinking of how to get Viper One working after that or going back to stock to try the S-OFF methods once again.
My list of intentions is to:
Get S-OFF - whether it works or not
Getting the device to be booted and actually perform phone calls and etc.
Research the method and possibilites of getting back to stock to try S-OFF again.
Plan further upgrades to either new ROMs and/or Kernels

I'm pretty sure rumrunner and moonshine.io are similar. hmmmm after re-reading... you might have to be boot loader unlocked.
"WHAT RUMRUNNER CAN DO FOR YOU:
S-OFF Your HTC device
Unlock your bootloader (devices that are blocked by htcdev only, e.g. Verizon HTC One)"
Hard to tell. I know that someone got their ONE S - S-OFF using moonshine and they did NOT unlock the boot loader.
Good luck.

Okay.
Is was just about to write what you put in your edit. Haha lazy me.. xD
Well I guess as a starter I can go and unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and try rumrunner.
When I get the recovery working I can start to plan what to do next
EDIT:
Bootloader is unlocked now and for some reason recovery wasn't removed
so I have unlocked bootloader and have a working recovery now.
Will try rumrunner S-OFF now..

[Q] Can't s-off!

Hi everyone
You must be pretty bored of threads like these!
Basically I can't s-off, so I was hoping for some advice. Here is my fastboot info:
TAMPERED, UNLOCKED
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.21.0000
RADIO-1.23.40e.00.26
OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927

eMMC-boot 1024MB
I'm running TWRP 2.7.1.1 through which I installed JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip and JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip. SuperSU is configured.
I have tried rumrunner, revone and firewater.
Rumrunner: Fails during Test 2. Tried two different PCs running Windows 7 and Ubuntu respectively. Last three entries are:
Rebooting into bootloader (again)
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
FATAL: Download updated package at rumrunner.us
Revone: ./revone -P gives error message 2 as it should, then after reboot I get error 1 with ./revone -s 0 -u
Firewater: Error: "Kernel contains anti-firewater patch".
So, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next? I have seen a couple of other people on the forum who can't s-off under similar circumstances. I don't usually have problems with this sort of thing, but this one has me stumped.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Any news? I'm in the same boat.
European unlocked regular HTC One Mini.
Have been running 4.3 and I think 4.4.2 ok for a while (don't even know).
I'm 'tampered', 'unlocked' but 's-on'. Hboot 2.21.
Can't supercid, can't flash firmware.
I can flash the twrp 2.7.1.1 though.
I'm now running the JmzM4StockRootedDeOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip rom, with regular SuperSU flashed after it was installed.
Fast boot is off, usb-debugging is on.
Rumrunner gives 'fatal, download updated package at www.rumrunner.us'
Revone gives the 'error -2' when doing ./revone -P.
But after rebooting, 'revone -s 0 -u' just gives 'error -1' and fails, without an error message.

revone just keeps giving errors -1/-2.
firewater finally bails out saying I'm running a kernel that has the anti-firewater patch. But I'm running custom kernels that are in the howto's. I flashed boot.img manually through fastboot and made sure by 'uname -a' that I'm indeed running the intended kernel. Tried 'JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip' and the 'bubba kernel' from 01-nov-2013.
And as I said, rumrunner seems to run OK. (during 'hold please' where you see the **** that become --- slowly, the bar fills up. After that it says it's rebooting into bootloader again, and after that it bails by saying 'FATAL: Download updated package at www.rumrunner.us'.
Different firmware packages I tried to flash all bail with some 'android_info' error, even after making sure the CID and model-ID match. But the way I see it I need to be s-off before those packages work anyway.

Sounds like we've both tried the exact same things. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
I take it you are going through this pain to get sense 6?

Have you guys tried going to SuperSU and change the Default access to grant? And then run rumrunner?

Yup, that's how I have my SuperSU. Thank you for your reply.

I will check and try again, but I can't imagine it having an impact, since I'm running firewater and revone from a root-prompt already, and rumrunner runs happily but bails _in_ one of the later fastboot things.
I tried relocking and unlocking through the HTC dev thing again, just in case. Of course (I forgot) that has the effect of my entire /data (including 'sdcard') being wiped, so I now have to push a rom through ADB into recovery to flash and get the device running again.
From that I can turn usb-debugging on again, flash supersu and try setting it to always-grant and try again.

Not me personally, but I bought the phone second-hand in October 2013 so theoretically it could have been sent to HTC before then.

Hey guys. I am in the same situation. I have htc one mini Europe version with:
Android 4.4.2
Sense 5.5 stock
Hboot 2.21
Unlocked
Rooted
S-On and CID HTC_035
And I can't get S-Off. I tried rumrunner, firewaters, revoke. Same errors like you.
I really want the sense 6 ))
Sent from my HTC One mini using XDA Free mobile app

Seems there's a pattern emerging! For the record, my CID is ORANG001.

Can you guys (or girls) report if your device was ever sent to HTC or not? Just a sneaky suspicion. Mine is, the original posters 'could be'.. until we get a definitive 'no' I'm having a feeling that they did something at the HTC repair .
Right this moment I managed to get my device pretty much back to stock 4.4.2 / sense 5.5 (in detail, firmware 3.10.401.4). I'm 'relocked' (so still tampered) and on the firmware package (hboot, kernel, radio, recovery) that came in the european OTA update.
The thing is, that OTA update was ment to bring me to 3.10.401.6 (the last number is different). My software version now says .4.
If I do the 'search for software updates' it says there is nothing available?! It should report an upgrade to .6 or to the new Sense6 rom I guess. It's the regular european / international version.... my CID and model ID is in the sense6-OTA update's firmware... so I should be able to flash it...
Maybe I'll try that. Flash the untouched firmware that is in the sense6-OTA (it's an OTA file for my model anyway, no idea why it's not showing in the software-updates scan),

The same situation, device was sent to HTC repair.

Well, I'm no closer to the s-off business...
I locked my htcdev bootloader, flashed the firmware from the OTA Europe-3.10.401.6 (4.4.2, Sense 5.5). Then unlocked the bootloader again (Wiping /data, grr) and installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 again.
Then I managed to install Europe-2.12.401.1 from a odex'ed full rom dump here on XDA. Simple flash from TWRP.
Once it is loaded it detects an OTA update to Europe-3.10.401.6 (I already had the OTA files, exactly the same as posted on XDA here).
I kinda modified the update-script for it. Removing the cid checks from the start, and removing the md5-check and patch for '/system/bin/app_process', and then making sure the mount() and unmount() calls matched (no double mounts, etc...) the update-script ran fine from TWRP! I removed the firmware business from the update-script (was already running it) and added an 'app_process' to the system folder so it would be copied. I also removed the 'fota' business at the end of the script.
And it ran! So ignoring the single app_process file (which I took from a 3.10.401.4 dump here on XDA) I was running a pretty good stock 4.4.2-Sense5.5 rom, with official matching firmware. Once the rom loaded up, it detected the OTA update to Europe-4.09.401.3 (4.4.2-Sense6).
I first booted back to fastboot mode, and flashed the official recovery that was in the 3.10 OTA (so I got the proper stock recovery) but left the device unlocker. Booted the ROM back up, started the OTA download and just clicked 'install now' at the end.
It took some time, but the OTA update ran without any modification perfectly it seems. It even flashed the new firmware (I got a slightly new boot logo and I'm on hboot 2.22 all of a sudden) without me needed to relock and unlock the device, and the new 4.09 rom seems to run just fine. It boots, runs fast, camera works, I got signal and wifi works.. I think it's ok. It's late, the rest I gotta check out tomorrow.
Mental note for me: Now make backups of your system dump since it's nice clean and stock, and don't forget to make a backup of the /data/preload folder in case you wipe your /data again. I can still flash TWRP, so getting root should be easy.
I now wonder if just using the supplied firmware package in the Sense6-thread, and modifying it to match my CID and MID would've worked anyway. I tried it, didn't work.. but I didn't know you had to relock the bootloader before flashing firmware as s-on. Anyway, I got my device up to the latest official firmware as stock as it's going to be (hboot, recovery, kernel, system, preload, all stock at the moment. Only htcdev-unlocked and it shows 'tampered'. Feels as a nice base to root and just use it for now .
All this still doesn't answer why our devices will not get s-off working at all.. but the reason I wanted s-off is done now for me, so I'm afraid I don't care anymore

Hi dipje,
I am exactly in the same situation like you was.
But my htc was never send to service.
If your kind please could you write down the process you did step by step and attach some links where needed with the location of the firmware, roms etc that you used and the files that you modified to not check the cid and other.
I will be very thankful.
Thank you very much.

Excellent work dipje. Some more info would be great, including the modified script if you still have it. Regarding Europe-2.12.401.1 - was this vrvr's straight dump, or tr1gg3r84's international odex?

This worked for me because I apparently had the right device (right CID). Since we can't change CID without s-off, I was lucky. Also, I was on the 4.4.2 3.10 firmware I believe from an official OTA, but to be honest, I have no clue. Since I'm s-on I could only have installed official firmware files from OTA packages, so I guess I was on hboot 2.21 from the start. Just FYI.
If your CID is not in the list of supposed devices for these OTA updates, you're **** out of luck. At least, as far as I know, I'm not all knowing and only got into flashing my mini not too long ago. My CID is HTC__E11 and that _is_ in the list of supported CIDs for these OTA packages (and the 2.12 international rom we start with). That might be something to check first if you start down this path.
Do yourself a favour, try installing the firmware from OTA 3.10 (it's in the instructions below, you need to relock your device first, try to flash it by reading the fastboot commands, then you can htcdev-unlock again).. If that 'takes' and works OK, you're in the right CID list .
REMEMBER, ALL OF YOUR /DATA (including internal storage) WILL BE GONE!!
(because htcdev-unlocking does that, and to install an official firmware package we have to relock and then unlock again afterwards... If I'm wrong about this, please let me know ).
Anyway, yes I've used "Stock2.12.401.1Odex(tr1gg3r84).zip" as a starting point (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575766).
Then get the 3.10 OTA from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722370. Or, once you have 2.12 booted up let it download the OTA package, but _do not_ execute it. Once downloaded it should be in 'Download' in your internal storage/sdcard. Transfer it to your PC.
Install TWRP 2.7.1.1, then use it to flash tr1gg3r84's 2.12 as is. Start it up, do as minimal setup as you can, make sure you disable fast-boot in the power options (to be sure) and I always enable USB debugging first. (google how to do it if you don't know, it's a sort-of hidden option these days).
Then, relock your bootloader. Go to the bootloader menu and choose fastboot if you have to (hold vol-down while restarting / booting up).
From your PC, use the command line 'fastboot oem lock'. In the command line it will do some stuff (and read error at the end, don't worry) and your device should reboot automatically. After it is booted up, go to the bootloader / fastboot _again_, and this time give the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'. Your device should restart quickly to a black screen with a small white HTC logo. Give the command 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'. That firmware.zip file is the file that is _inside_ the 3.10 OTA, so you need to extract that first.
If correct, it will start doing stuff and a green bar will slowly fill up. It will _NOT_ reach the end. In your command-line window it should say it completed OK.
Ok, so now we have a 2.12 rom installed with the 3.10 firmware installed. Unlock your device again through htcdev.com, and install TWRP again.
If all is OK, you should be able to flash my modified 3.10 patch (http://clients.maxx-traxx.eu:8080/tmp/xda/mine3.10.zip)
I hope the bandwidth will be OK for that server, if it will be too much I have to upload it somewhere else.
That's what I used in the end, and should be able to install it without problems.
How I created it: The only file from trigger84's 2.12 rom that fails to MD5 check is the modified '/system/bin/app_process'. So I took the file from another 3.10 full dump (the 3.10.401.4 one from trigger too) and placed it inside the /system folder of the extracted OTA update. It will be copied automatically. I removed the lines from the updater-script that try to verify and patch /system/bin/app_process, but left the 'setting permisions' alone. Then I removed all the CID-checking from the start of the script (TWRP can't do that apparently) and removed all the 'fota' stuff from the end ( no clue what it is). Also, remove the lines that try to transfer the firmware.zip package. And as I said, fixed some unmatched mounts/unmounts. With that I mean everytime /system is mounted, it should be unmounted first before trying to be mounted again. The script tries to mount /data multiple times and only unmounts it once or something, and that tends to fail on TWRP.
I've attached my updater-script if you want to check it out and try to do it yourself. Compare the differences between mine and the original in the OTA to see what I mean.
You can delete the fota*** files and the firmware.zip from the OTA package, rezip it (properly, take care of the folder structure, ahem ) and try to flash it.
In the end, it should update OK, and since you already were on the firmware from 3.10, it should boot up OK like normal, _IF_ we flash the correct kernel. So before booting up 3.10 (it will bootloop if you try, no big problem) go to bootloader-fastboot mode again, and give the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. The boot.img is the file that is inside the 3.10 Firmware.zip. The 3.10 should now boot up OK.
So, now you're on 3.10 ROM with 3.10 firmware (notice, 3.10.401.6, not the .4 version). Now, we're gonna install the stock 3.10 recovery again.
Take the 3.10 OTA extracted firmware.zip, and take the recovery.img out of it. Go to bootloader-mode again, and use 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to install it. You now have your stock 3.10 recovery installed, but are still htcdev-unlocked. Start the ROM again.
A software update should be available to 4.09.401.3. Let it download, and let it execute. It should work without any problems, and your phone should reboot a couple of times.
At the end, after Sense6 is up and running, you can go into bootloader-mode again, and flash TWRP again, and use TWRP to flash the SuperSU update package to get root. (Because we're still unlocked, we don't have to do the htcdev-unlock thing this time).
Remember, your /system/bin/app_process file is not stock for sure, and there might be other files. The 4.09 OTA update (Sense6) just doesn't touch those files so it runs without modification, but with a next OTA we might not be so lucky and might have to modify the OTA package again. Do yourself a favour and make a backup of your current /system layout (I guess TWRP can do it), and yourself another favour by also making a backup of the /data/preload folder as it is now. Those files can be hard to come by later on, and if you ever do the htcdev-unlock thing again, they are gone (/data is wiped). Use a root-file-explorer app or something to copy the /data/preload folder to your sdcard/internal storage. Then copy it your PC and zip it up, label it preload-eu-4.09.401.3.zip and keep it safe .
This is not the most noob-friendly guide, but then it isn't intended to be. People who've been fighting to get s-off should know most key-shortcuts, fastboot and adb commands by now

Great guide dipje. Will hopefully help those who have the more generic CIDs. Counts me out unfortunately, but hopefully someone will figure out how to s-off the damn thing!

Hi everybody,
Just for information, i am french (sorry for my poor English ) and i am in the same situation :
One mini rooted, TWRP 2.7.1.1, S-ON, hboot 2.21.0000, revone : fail, rumrunner : fail, firewater : fail...
And my HTC also was sent for repairs (cracked shell, speaker HS, software update).
i am desperate...

I'm getting the feeling that (EU?) hboot 2.21 is simply protected against s-off tricks.
Is downgrading hboot possible with s-on? Guess not.
