I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok
install recovery => ok. and when i installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236, it was stuck in bootloader. i fogot root my phone before.
so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!

Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.
and i flashed the newest rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 ViperXL 4.2 and i didn't check the MD5
back to my previous question, can i fash a custom rom without root?

I asked for the exact filename of the ROM for a reason, I need that please. Also, exactly which recovery are you using?
Sent from my Evita

Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

[Q] [q] stupid question in regards to flash

friend gave me his one X because his dialer and sms app force close when its used and says htc xxx is not responding. I have tried to reflash a new rom/ flash boot.img and the new rom installs and the same thing occurs. I know if i flash a default rom i will have to relock the BL but i will lose the ability to flash anything in the future?
some details you wil probably need on my screen
evita pvt ship S-on RL
S-ON( i have a feeling it has to do with this)
h-boot 1.09
radio 0.17.32
i have tried clean rom and viper rom and i get the same issue. suggestions?
all htc onexl are s-on so that isnt a problem. since the phone is already unlocked you have supercid. you could relock the bootloader "fastboot oem lock" and run the 1.85 ruu. then get another unlock token from htcdev or if he gave you his token use that.
since you came from 1.85 firmware you don't need to flash boot.img separate.
before ruu you could also make sure you have the newest twrp 2.3.1.0 evita on it. you could try fixing permissions in twrp. in fastboot you could run this command "fastboot erase cache". if you still have the problem try wiping everything in twrp and reflashing the rom.

This is a known symptom of Clockworkmod being used on the phone. Change recovery to TWRP, as previously recommended.

CWM is not supported by the HTC One X/XL. TWRP does, which is why you're having some issues. I would recommend flashing TWRP over before you flash anything else. Doing something wrong on CWM could lead you in the path of being a proud owner of a $500 paper weight.

If its always been on TWRP since you owned it, the previous owner may have had CWM on it, then switched to TWRP. I think (not sure) the problem persists even after switching.
Not sure, but I think some folks had to jump thru some hoops to clear this bug up, involving flashing (counter-intuitively) CWM, then a AOSP ROM, then TWRP. Let me see if I can find the thread.

thnx to all of you, when booting into recovery i get into TWRP so it is most likely as you say my buddy who gave it to me most likely flashed CWM then TWRP , so your suggesting doing the above in that order?
Here it is. Look at post #7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846657
But I'd try to confirm if your friend ever had Clockworkmod on the phone. It sounds an awful lot like the bug from the thread above. But I don't want to send you down the wrong path, either.

[Q] HTC One XL Telstra No OS flashed stock rom but need help!

Hi all I was given a HTC One XL telstra version it had no OS not a thing on it and I have managed to flash rom and TWRP but have no idea where to go from here I can use fastboot and also mount the SD card via TWRP now how do i get an OS onto it and what am I looking for exactly?
Ok so you have TWRP recovery? If so just download a ROM on your PC, then enter recovery on your phone, connect your phone to the PC and go to the mount menu then mount usb storage. Copy a ROM to the phone. Enter the wipe menu in recovery, perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/system/factory reset). Enter the install menu in recovery, locate the ROM zip you copied to your phone, swipe to install. If the phone is s-off you can reboot now and it should boot into the OS. If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, so reboot to the bootloader. Locate the boot.img in the root of the ROM zip on your PC and copy it into your fastboot folder. Issue this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that's done you can reboot the phone and it should boot into the OS.

No, if you use one of the stock Telstra ROMs found within our development sections you don't need to relock your bootloader at all. You just flash it in recovery and away you go. If you're talking about an RUU it's a different story, with more preparation involved. There's really no need to run an RUU at this point though so just stick with the Telstra ROM (in zip form) and you'll get the full experience.

Oh, something I did want to mention. You're not limited to using Telstra ROMs, there are some great ROMs with great features here in our forums. We're very lucky that there are some great devs still providing us with ROMs even though the device is over 18 months old, they're keeping this phone relevant. Just make sure you stay within this device forum and you'll be super duper. Here are the links to our two development sections:

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita

[Q] Cannot find the resources to undo this soft brick.

I have an AT&T HTC One x. Its ***Tampered*** ***Unlocked*** HBOOT 1 .09. 0000 S-ON
I had been running an older version of TWRP, and decided I was going to clear my phone and do a fresh start. I know, I know, I should have made a backup, but I felt pretty confident in what I was doing, and was in too much of a hurry to rationalize this.
I wiped both the OS and previous version of TWRP in order to update to the new ones. While in fastboot I flashed CLEANrom and the new version of TWRP, and my administrative command prompt confirmed that they were installed successfully. Even cleared the cache afterwards. Now is the difficult part. I've researched, and researched, and cannot find a solution for this problem. I keep having a Boot Loop.... I'm stumped guys... I need some sort of help, be it technical, or something to drink lol
Previous ROM was CM 10, with TWRP and PA GAPPS :good:

Why are you flashing roms via fastboot? -_- You're making your life difficult. Wipe everything in TWRP then flash in TWRP. ALso, you should really s-off and update your firmware/hboot. via RUU. You will likely encounter issues running a newer software on an such an old firmware.

If you would have read the thread, you would have noticed, that I am in bootloop, therefor I cannot access the recovery. And I have to have access to the ROM on my phone in order to flash anything via TWRP so this is moot. My question isn't how to flash roms, it's why am I getting a loop when I am successful on a clean partition and clean flash of both the recovery and ROM? And to me, fastboot is way easier than TWRP. I guess I could get a UART and try to debug the sequence myself, but I have more important things to do than that. I was posting to see if anyone had any similar problems. And this phone is an original model and I haven't really bothered with the security off, since I only wanted to get rid of sense in the first place. It was unlocked well before any commercial unlocker was available for the evita(Literally no stable CM10 at all at the time), so it's a little finicky in the first place. I ran the RUU after I re-locked the bootloader, and I'm at least out of the loop. I'm just going get to a more stable version so that this process will be more streamline when I re do my unlock and stuff.
So I guess the only solution at this point I have for any problem like this is to use the proper RUU. I tried a couple of times with no success, and it seemed the charm was to re lock the bootloader ( Fastboot oem lock) in order to properly and successfully get the RUU to work.:good:
Wth are you even on about? Of course you can access recovery in a bootloop. How are you getting to fastboot without accessing the bootloader? from the bootloader you can access recovery. If recovery isn't loading SCREW flashing a rom, reflash your recovery, 2.7 TWRP preferably. and then boot to recovery, mount your USB, copy the rom and flash it. Recovery is more important than having a ROM.
I know what I am talking about, do you know what you're talking about?
FFS I am trying to help you, there's no reason for you to be an ass. You're having issues BECAUSE you're flashing your rom via fastboot. You cannot flash a rom via fastboot.

You didn't read the thread. I'm not being an ass. The information is already there.I can not access the recovery at all. That's why I am in in this situation. And again, if you had read the whole thread, or the even the original post, you would know that I cannot access the recovery. The only reason I'm being as detailed as I am is so I don't have to repeat myself, as well as for other people who may encounter this problem. And Yes I know what I am talking about. If I didn't I probably wouldn't have gotten to this point, right?
Okie dokie. No point in arguing. You're right. I'm wrong. Glad it's all working now.

Exad is right in saying that the reason you're having problems is because you're attempting to flash ROMs with fastboot. That isn't how it's done. The correct way is to flash your ROM with recovery. You're barking up the wrong tree, not only that but you're arguing with experienced people who are only attempting to help get you out of the mess that you've gotten yourself into. You came here for advice, but there's no point in asking for advice if you're just going to argue and dismiss what you're being told to do.
You said you can't access your ROM so you can't flash anything, that makes absolutely no sense, which leads me to believe you don't really know what you're doing. Get out of the mindset that you need to use fastboot, it's wrong. You're dealing with people who have extensive and intimate knowledge of this device, trust us, we know what we're talking about.
Exactly why can't you access recovery? If you can issue fastboot commands that means you can access your bootloader, if you can access your bootloader that means you can use your volume keys to scroll through the options and the power button to select recovery. What happens when you do that? Exactly which recovery have you flashed to your device? I need to the full filename of the recovery that you've flashed.

S-on is a downright dangerous place to be, if the phone is also SuperCID (which is very likely, since its the AT&T variant). exad is right in recommending s-ff, as he is about a good many things.

Hi,
me too i want to back to stock but i think it's to complicated, so what i know : 1st backup ur current custom rom (for safe ^^);
2nd restore stock recovery; 3th restore RUU for your A9 (hiaeuhl or hiaeul etc ... ) that all i know but i heard that we need to restore the /system partition (i dont backup this before install cm13 :/ ) if anybody know what to do exactly :fingers-crossed: :silly:
the s-on/s-off scare me too xD i dont know what to do to restore stock properly ^^' maybe we have another thread for that i look later
S-on/off has nothing to do with going back to stock (unless you want to change version).
if you flash RUU you'll be 100% stock but you'll lose everything including root
bootloader is fine i guess.

Verify that you have the correct RUU for your phone. If you do, and it still isn't working, try the RUU .exe while your phone is in download mode. Also, make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port. Sometimes that can cause problems.

Download 1.27.161.6 from post #1, then follow the steps from post #2. I'd try the first method, first.
This should work unless your firmware was updated to a later version than 1.27.161.6.

Gotcha, I'd recommend that you use the external sd/stock recovery method to return to stock. That's probably the most bulletproof way to return to stock. If you no longer have the stock recovery, no problem. It's pretty simple to extract the recovery from the RUU and flash it first.
Also, did you download the RUU again? It is possible that you may have a corrupted RUU.zip if it is crashing your fastboot.
So me i'm on CM13 nightlies with twrp and boot.img modified, to back to stock i had to flash stock recovery( * ) than flash the RUU( ** ) ? that all ?
*: i had to extract it from the RUU coresponding i'm good ? ^^"
**: my cid is HTC_034; my mid is 2PQ910000 so i had to take the 1.10.401.7 RUU i'm good ? ^^' or the 1.56.401.70 or 1.27.401.5 ? i'm lost, on my dowload mode it's say i'm on 1.10.401.7 (but i'm on cm13 latest nightlies ... >< )
Than, when i'm succefully back to stock if i choose to return to cm13 i can flash my backup(recovery+boot+/system+rom) of cm13 with twrp if firmware doesn't upgrade with OTA on stock i'm good ?
Lots of question i know ^^' thx for help.

If you use the sd card method (copy the RUU.zip to external sd) fastboot is no longer necessary. The RUU is flashed using the stock recovery. There's no fastboot to crash at that point.

You shouldn't have any trouble returning to stock at all. I've had quite a few Heineken at this point, but flashing boot, recovery, and system of your stock rom is no problem at all if you have backups.

Could you state how this is done? I recently moved to the A9 from having the M7 since it came out, (which had NO external SD card support) , so this is the 1st I'm hearing of being able to apply an RUU Without fastboot... Does the RUU have to be in any specific folder, or the root of the external SD card?
Any details would be GREATLY appreciated.

It's possible to return s-on and bootloader locked (not relocked)? Thank's.

Yes i know but u dont understand me i think, for the RUU there 3 version for my phone 1.10 -> 1.27 -> 1.56 so witch one i had to take ? CM13 run with 1.27 ? 1.10 with cm13 isn't possible no ? because on my download mode(bootloader) it's say : OS-1.10.401.7 in theory i would take the 1.10.401.7 RUU but a man (on this forum) tell me this was a bug of cm13 and its run with 1.27 it's wrong ??

Any one of the three would return you to stock, as long as the version number is greater than or equal to the firmware that you have installed. (Which is the topic of this tread...)
As far as compatibility with CM, you should check that thread...but I think CM is compatible with the 1.27 firmware. If you're still s-on, you DO NOT want to upgrade the firmware to a newer version than CM supports, if you intend to use CM.

I'm sure it's possible...just a matter of finding exactly what you need to hex edit and where it is. Experimenting with this likely carries a chance of bricking your device, since the variables would have to be used by HBOOT and/or download mode. Maybe someone else has already accomplished this?

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash a RUU, not the regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk.

The stock recovery is not used when flashing a RUU from the sdcard. The bootloader handles the process, not the recovery. Stock recovery isn't needed at all, using fastboot or the sdcard methods.

Thanks, Alray, for the clarification on the sd card method.
