Ok. Can help with my question?

Use Gold Card - Not working
I manage using gold card and flash ruu 2.10 but still not working cause my main version is > 3. Anybody can help? please....

try reading this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728513
some ideas you can try

You forgot to downgrade misc_version before restoring to stock.
Now, you have one of 2 options:
1) If your HBOOT is modified - you can fastboot flash recovery, connect by ADB, execute misc_version script in recovery (that step saves you ROM installation) to downgrade main version, and then execute RUU again.
2) If your HBOOT is stock and you can't do anything - you'll have to unlock it the HTC way, after unlock - execute all the above (including relocking the bootloader after main version is downgraded).

Since your hboot already using 2+, you can do following steps:
1. unlock your bootloader using htc dev
2. after unlocked, install recovery
3. go to recovery you've previous installed then connect usb and change misc version via adb
4. relock again the bootloader
5. then you can install the RUU
Hope this help.

It doesn't. At least in my case.
I had to add my cid to make it loadable but that's about it:
Loading .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Checking .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Then it returns to Fastboot menu again with nothing changed!

Hi Ahmed,
What is the version of your hboot? is it already 2.00+? if it is you can just unlock via htc dev to flash the recovery. No need to flash the firmware

IMO is that you dont need to flash the firmware, since you already said that you've already unlock the bootloader. I did flash the firmware because i want to unlock my bootloader.
I download this recovery image www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip, I flash this image in fastboot and the recovery installed successfully, maybe you can try it also.
after that you can install tacoroot for temporary root and misc version your device image version, then you can install ruu afterward.

My problem is complex. Hboot is 0.98.0002 so i can't use HTCDev to unlock. At the same time adb is not working so i can't s-off. RUUs of 2.x or 1.x do not work either as latest image was 3.x .
I think i need to upgrade Hboot (somehow) to enable HTCdev Unlock then downgrade and s-off. That may require RUU > 3.x ... and it must be RUU not OTA or update package.

My case was the same as yours thats why i flash the firmware so i can unlock my bootloader. But you are not able to flash from chinese ota i gave you earlier?

Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good

Hi,Yep tried that one still getting signed error.
Thanks for looking

You have to get an RUU according to your CID.Get into your bootloader (by pressing power + vol-) and when you see fastboot usb give the command fastboot getvar all.Then copy-paste everything here except your imei and serialno so we will be able to help you further. If you cannot find an RUU for your CID you have to S-OFF your device so you be able to change your cid. After that you can flash any RUU.
You probably have bootloop issues with custom roms because you are S-ON user and you have to flash mannually the kernel.Just extract the boot.img from the rom zip you flash from your recovery in the folder you have fastboot and then flash it from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.Then your custom Rom should be working. After that you can S-OFF your bootloader with runrummer or with juopunutbear as long as you have already unlocked your phone with HTC_dev.
** Also after S-OFF it would be nice to upgrade your radio to the latest. **

Thank you for your reply, I have run the ruu that you suggested in your first post but i'm still in a boot loop and being a ruu I do not know how to extract the boot image to flash it ( as this has stopped the boot loop problems in my previous phone). is there a boot.img available?
When i click on the link for 4ext you posted I cannot find the download link also can i flash 4ext being s-on
Looking forward to your reply.

in the ruu thread there is somewhere how to flash ruu manually
maybe from there you can locate the boot.img
about the recovery link i think you have to sign in in 4shared site
and yes you can flash 4ext while on S-ON as long as the bootloader is unlocked

Stock AT&T XL won't boot after factory reset

I'm not sure where to start. My brother handed me his phone after stupidly following a friend's suggestion that his phone would be faster if he did a factory reset. The phone displays the white screen with the HTC logo, then goes to a black screen and gets stuck there.
I'm able to get to fastboot, but I'm not really sure where to go from there.
The phone's never been tampered with before. S-ON, locked bootloader.
Here's the text I'm seeing on fastboot:
Code:
***LOCKED***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.24p.32.09.06
OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219
eMMC-boot
Nov 26 2012 <- I assume this date is because of the factory reset?
If I understood correctly from what I've been reading, I'm probably gonna need to reflash a stock ROM from fastboot through adb.
I got this HTC_One_X_RUU_5.18.502.1.exe from one of the threads. How do I extract the ROM from there?
I'd appreciate if anyone pointed me in the right way. I'm a Samsung guy and this phone is absolutely alien to me.
EDIT: Here's some more info I got from fastboot:

How did he do the factory reset? Through recovery?
The symptoms you list are identical to what happens when flashing a new Rom without S-OFF.
My understanding is that due to write restrictions it can't copy the boot.img file to boot, which is required begin running the operating system.
I'm not sure if this is the case for factory resets though. So it may depend on how he tried to do the factory reset.
If the above situation is the case, then the fix is to flash the boot.img file of the same stock rom. Alternatively, you could flash a new rom and it's respective boot.img file.

He did that through fastboot. In fact he did the factory reset several times after the phone didn't boot.
I already tried flashing a boot.img from a ROM I found in the development section, but fastboot just says (remote:signature verify fail).
I have absolutely no freaking idea where to get that specific stock ROM. (It's 3.18.502.6, right?)
I added some extra info in the OP in case its useful.
EDIT: I downloaded the 3.18.502.6 OTA update, extracted the boot.img and the phone keeps spitting (remote:signature verify fail)

Since he flashed through recovery it may have screwed up because the bootloader is still locked (this may be the reason why you're getting errors too).
Unlocking the bootloader is what allows you to write to internal memory and is required to flash a rom.
I unlocked my bootloader using this nifty tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470972
This should then allow you to flash the boot.img file with the command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I don't think flashing a boot.img is going to help. You're gonna need to run an RUU, either of these should be fine:

Hey timmaaa, thanks for the help.
This phone is insufferable. Now I'm getting this:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash zip rom_02.zip
sending 'zip' (798796 KB)...
FAILED (remote: data length is too large)
finished. total time: 0.007s
I actually managed to flash rom_01.zip and now I'm able to boot into recovery.
When I'm on recovery the log says:
Code:
Can not mount SD Card (No such file or directory)
What would you suggest I do next?

Why are you doing that though? That's not how you use an RUU, you're not meant to extract anything, it's an executable file so all you do is connect your phone in bootloader mode and run the program. Plus, who knows what's been done to the device at this point with all the mucking around that's happened with it, flashing just the ROM component won't achieve the desired result. You need to run the RUU as intended so it can update all aspects of the phone and bring everything back into line. There's a pretty good guide to using an RUU here:
Running a Rom Update Utility (RUU) on the HTC One XL Evita
Follow that guide exactly and your phone will hopefully be revived.

I initially tried manually flashing thru fastboot because the RUU installer wasn't detecting the phone.
Turns out I didn't have the right drivers.
Thanks a bunch, man.

All good, is the phone booting now?

Yup, it booted up alright. I think I'm gonna see how to install a custom recovery so I can fix it easier if he screws the phone up again.

Cool, I have detailed instructions for this device here:

Stuck in Bootloader after Flashing RUU (No Custom Recovery)

Yesterday I went through the process of unlocking my bootloader, rooting the phone and then S-OFF via Sunshine. After completing these steps, I attempted to flash a RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/development/ruu-sprint-htc-one-e8-1-22-651-1-stock-t2952981) - the reason for this being I am attempting to unlock my SIM for use on another carrier. So, I was able to successfully flash the RUU via fastboot commands (followed these instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ybu7fZa41so) and then rebooted the device. Upon rebooting the device, I was able to use the phone for 10 seconds or so before it automatically reboot itself. This happened several times before the bootloop stopped and I was able to use the phone just fine. Thinking everything was working, I proceeded to the next step in unlocking my SIM (outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...51-1-stock-t2952981/post57116360#post57116360) which was to flash a zip (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962). Upon flashing the zip, I was unable to successfully reboot the phone. Instead, I am only able to access the bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I am currently at a loss for what to do. One issue is that I may have attempted to flash the RUU and subsequently the zip while my phone was low battery (roughly <15%; I've read this can cause issues but I'm not 100% sure). I am currently charging my phone in hopes that this may solve the issue but I am not entirely optimistic.
I realize that I am an idiot for not having a stock rooted TWRP backup - I actually did create one (albeit on my internal storage) which was subsequently deleted when flashing the RUU. I have not been able to find a stock rooted backup of the Sprint HTC One E8 (perhaps I am not looking in the right places), could anyone help me find this? Or should I try to flash the RUU linked above again (am I wrong in assuming this would serve as a custom recovery)?
I am concerned that I may have bricked my phone...so any help at all would be appreciated.

Hope I can help. First the good news- you have not bricked your phone. Now the (not so) bad news- you are in a bit of a mess but will be able to come out with a functional phone.
It sounds like you have a Sprint phone and tried to flash another RUU.
I need to know exact model number of your phone, MID, CID stock ROM etc and what RUU you had tried to use.
The easiest way would be to find a stock RUU that your phone had come with, rename it to 0PAIJMG.zip and put in the root of an external micro sd and reboot the phone in bootloader and let the phone reinstall the original RUU (as you have already done once).
Before, you try to flash another RUU make sure you have superCID and have modified MID as well ( there are plenty of discussion on this in this forum).

Alright, so after a day of tinkering with things I think I may have resolved the issue (but not achieved my goal of unlocking the SIM).
I ended up getting superCID, and flashing the current RUU for the Sprint HTC One from HTC's website. The phone is now up and running on 2.32.651.7. I did this by downloading the .exe. file straight from HTC's website and following the utility instructions. I was previously trying to manually flash 1.22.651.1.
So my phone is up and running, however I would still like to unlock the SIM. I am following the instructions in the link I provided in my previous post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...0#post57116360) but am somewhat hesitant to re-flash the 1.22.651.1 RUU as instructed in the guide considering what I just went through. I know that I would be able to just revert back to my current RUU which is stable, but I'm not inclined to go through with the process if it is just a dead-end. Would I be able to go through with the instructions (specifically everything including flashing the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962 and onwards) and still be able to successfully unlock the SIM from the 2.32.651.7 RUU? Or do you think it specifically requires the 1.22.651.1 RUU to work?
I'm not familiar with MID or why I need to modify it, could you elaborate or should I just look into other forum posts?
As for my phone info, here you go: (I used the command fastboot getvar all; not sure if this is what you wanted)

OK so I'm pretty sure what is causing problems is the step outlined here - "flash the attached zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1417208962". Apparently the file is supposed to grant write access to modify an APK file and allow the phone to be rooted, however, whenever I flash the zip file from TWRP recovery, I am no longer able to boot into my OS...instead I boot straight to recovery. Not sure why this is - any help would be appreciated!
