Ok can someone please explain to me whats ruu...I have no idea what that is or where I can get it from !!!
Ruu takes the phone completely back to stock but u need to find the right version for u so we need some information
What country are you in?
What is your radio version
Is your phone branded? E. G does it have t mobile on it
Sent from a man, using a mobile phone
Okay download an appropriate ruu for your device, international, tmobile, etc. Power down the device (Power button and volume down for 10 seconds) plug in the usb from the wall and power on and charge for a few hours. (Don't want your phone to permanently turn off and hard brick your device) Follow the instructions on the ruu to get back to stock.
Relock your bootloader before starting the ruu process. "fastboot oem lock" You should know the basics by now.
I'll Pm you some ruu that may work..
i have messed everything
I accidentally formatted my internal storage , cache , data, system and everything.

First thing you need to do is get fastboot working. At this point, you cannot do anything without it.
So go into bootloader, select fastboot, connect to pc and you should see it change to fastboot USB on your phone after a few seconds.
Navigate to the folder containing fastboot and hold shift and right click somewhere on the window, select open command prompt here. Now, enter the command:
fastboot erase cache
If it goes through, great. If not, you need to update drivers. Install the latest version of HTC sync on your PC.
Of no luck, try another PC, different USB port, different cable, whatever. You need to get it working.
Once it is working, you will need to fastboot recovery, boot.img, etc, but do what I said first, then report back.

Hi,
I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.
I have an XE, HBOOT 1.27 Unlocked and S-ON and I flashed many ROMs, always enabling SmartFlash in 4Ext.
Yesterday I tried to flash Sebastian's ROM, Revelation, and now my phone is stuck at HTC Splash Screen.
First I did a nandroid to my current ROM, Pac 1.1, then format all(except SD Card), then flashed Revelation and something went wrong.
After flash complete I confirmed reboot and right before 4Ext closed, it showed a message saying something like : It has been detected a change in your boot partition, a backup of previous has been made in /sdcard/4Ext/boot.
It stays like that for a few seconds(I always had this message when flashed other ROMs) and soon after says something "there has been an error, report it" (never seen this message before) and reboots, but keeps showing Splash Screen for ~5 seconds, turns black, then Splash Screen again and so on until I remove the battery.
What can I do and how?
Someone told me to push via fastboot the ROM's boot.img but there is a problem.I have a PC where the phone has never been connected via USB cable, so I have no driver/tool anything.
When I connect it to PC, nothing shows up.
If I select FASTBOOT from the bootloader menu, still nothing shows up on PC.I tried from 4Ext menu Toggle usb connection, but still no trace on my PC.
I beg you, help me.
EDIT : I just found out that Sebastian messed up something in the installer, and all I have to do is to flash the boot.img through fastboot.

Hi,
Try flashing a STOCK ROM
Choose the XE in the second post.
Otherwise you will have to setup your PC to run a RUU,and return everything back to square one.
The weird thing is that even if I try to flash another ROM, stil the same problem.
I format all except SD card,wipe cache+dalvik, mount SD card into PC and delete folder 4Ext/boot_backup.
Go back to 4Ext, enable SmartFlash and flash CM 10.1 by Albino . Reboot, I get the message about my boot partition has been modified, but not the error too, and when it reboots, stuck at splash screen.
I'm desperate.

Hi,
It looks like your only option to reconfigure your boot partition ,is to run a RUU.
Look HERE
Do you know the version-main of your phone?
But first you will also need to setup your PC for ADB.

I tried that yesterday with the help of a guy, but no success.
I installed all necessary drivers, adb and fastboot, but I can't get my phone discovered on my PC.
If the boot partition would be screwed, why it doesn't work when I try to flash other ROM? Like CM 10.1 or the XE Stock that I've been suggested a few posts above. Flashing this ROMs, shouldn't the boot partition be written with the ROM's files, and everything should turn back as normal?

It should rewrite the boot partition. Are you sure 4ext says "a pending update to..." and the process completes?
First boot after a new flash can take as long a 10mins. Wait it out.
Anyway if it diesnt work, try another wipe (all except sdcard) flash another rom, and if you're still stuck, use an ruu.
Happy to help.

I'm very sure 4ext says "a pending update to..." but only it doesn't completes as usual, instead show an error saying that the process couldn't be completed and the boot partition was reverted back as it was,report the problem. This happens when trying to flash Revelation.
I flashed CM 10.1 and says only " a pending update to..." no error , reboots and keeps turning off and on the splash screen.
I flashed a stock XE ROM, happens same thing as in CM 10.1 case.
I tried restoring from nandroid , happens same as CM 10.1 and stock XE ROM.
I wiped and flashed so many times in the last 2 days that I didn't do in the whole year that I had the phone.
I can't use a RUU, as I'm stuck at getting the phone discovered by PC.As I said, I installed all necessary drivers found on a topic here, but still can't see the phone.I tried HTC Sync also, as that pack installs the drivers too, but still no luck.
My last hope is to try connecting the phone on an older PC that I put it in a box and thrown it in the garage.That PC has all drivers and set-up for the phone, but they are outdated for sure.

There you go. The reason your phone is in a bootloop is that the correct boot.img is not written.
And something is not right with your recovery. It could be a bad flash (I'm not sure).
I don't think you need to use an ruu. Just get on a pc that recognizes your device, and flash the correct boot.img.
I would advise that you flash the recovery.img again.
EDIT: Change usb port to 2.0. Try all usb ports on your computer. It is quite common that fastboot recognizes devices on some usb ports and not on others.
Alternatively read this, point 4. This will surely work if you can't get another pc

I think this is the key to my problem. I checked the link you gave me and I think I might get it done using that method.
Gonna give it a try as soon as I get some free time later today.
PS : I tried all 3 usb ports on PC, ofc.
Thank you, I will keep this topic update with results.
I'm having a hard time finding the right RUU for my phone, as I don't have access to fastboot, which would make my job a lot easier.
I found a list with providers and CIDs and I suppose mine is HTC-ITA HTC__405 , since I bought it in Italy and it was unbranded.
But i can't get software version, as it asks me to go to setting/About phone . I can't do that.
I think the right RUU is RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504, so now I'm downloading that and then move on step 4 on that tutorial.
Hope I just won't brick the phone.

You can flash only one particluar ruu. Just make sure it's pyramid le(sensation xe). You will not be able to flash a wrong one, so no need to worry.

Says LE, so I should be fine.
Hi,
The RUU process will not work if the phone says "Unlocked"
You will need to relock the phone,according to the section 3 of the guide.
So,you will need a PC
did you check also if the bootloader screen says fastboot usb?

But I'm gonna do the step 4 which says only to execute the RUU .exe but don't do anything, and in the temp folder on my pc I will find a file which then I'll have to move to the SD Card and flash straight from my recovery.

When I vol down & power to get in bootloader I see :
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIM LOCK
IMAGE CRC
I don't know about fastboot usb...
Anyway, selecting FASTBOOT and connecting my phone to PC, nothing shows up, and running fastboot commands doesn't work, there's no link between pc and phone.

when you select fastboot does it say after that fastboot usb in bootloader screen?
actually have you enabled usb debugging mode from tettings?
First time post and it's been a hell of a day. I need to figure out how to either sideload the factory ROM, load a 3rd party ROM, or actually factory reset my phone to stock.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP and SuperSU earlier in the day. I then wanted to try to load Cyanogen11, but there were issues with the load, it constantly failed. I made a backup before I did this, but when I attempted to load the backup, nothing happened, it would just continually boot to recovery.
I attempted a few other things, clearing caches, doing wipes, powering the phone off for 5~ minutes, etc. etc.
Nothing is working, I can't load any ROM now and phone is either stuck at a bootcycle or the HTC Splash screen (Aside from being able to load bootloader/CWP)

Are you still having issues? If so, PM me and I'll help you out.....
Got everything sorted with the great help of Nelvin. I had previously gone to the twrp support IRC and after answering a few questions, they just stopped talking... Glad there are people out there still willing to help! He spent a good hour or so with me making sure everything was working.
Hey you two!
Did you solve your problem via PM, then maybe send me the log of it please.
I dont know exactly if we have the same problem, but i'll try to explain mine:
I wanted to put a ROM on my mini, because it is branded.
I unlocked the bootloader on the htc one mini and then put the twrp recovery on it. It seems to work.
Next i wanted to put super su on it, but I'm already stuck in a bootcircle, so i cant put any files onto the phone. I tried to move files with Qick ADB Pusher, but always when I try to send the file from PC(win7) to one mini it says "Opeartion Failed! Exit Code 1". I tried this when i was in Bootloader. When I am in Recovery ADB doesnt even recognize the phone via USB.
If there is more explanation needed, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi, can you let me know: Which ROM you want to flash, if you have attempted to s-off, and that you can boot to recovery?
Also, i'd advise against using utilities like the "pusher", please download this http://d-h.st/qmi and create a directory called c:\adb\ - move your ROM and SuperSU zip files here and extract the adb_windows.zip file to the directory.....
I did not attempt s-off, just normal htc dev bootloader.
First i wanted to flash Magio R4, but then i was thinking about Stock Rom Sense 5.5, which tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
i created folder and moved rom there. i also extracted the adb_windows zip there. what to do next? (i just wanna ask, because im a little scared of totaly breaking the phone now)
Thanks for now!

Boot to recovery, then
adb push therom.zip /sdcard/
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU.zip /sdcard/
Remember to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file, and after flashing the ROM and SuperSU, boot to bootloader and FASTBOOT menu then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you mean to push with the quick ADB Pusher? but in this programm (on PC) it doesnt find the phone whilie it is is recovery boot.

No, use the adb binary from the download link I posted......
If your phone isn't found, check the windows device manager and verify that you have ADB Android device listed..... if not, download adb drivers for windows and install - then plug your phone back in.....
You are using TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery image from here right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418938
the adb.exe just pops up the cmd console, showing a lot of commands for half a second and then its gone again.
the android device is listed on device manager.
no, i did not use this one(twrp). i used some explanation how to do it from another forum and another file.
should i use this one now? how exactly to do that? theres no explanation :/
Open a command prompt in Windows and cd to c:\adb
Then when your phone is in recovery, type the adb commands I posted earlier.....

terdingb all
cmd says that the command is wrong or misstyped
(im in c:/adb typing: adb push rom.zip /sdcard/)
Is your ROM zip file called rom.zip? Can you post a screenshot?

ok got it.
now the rom and the supersu.zip are on the phone.
i cleared cache and dalvik and flashed both files(Stock Sense 5.5 4.3 Rooted Odex/Deodex;UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86; both zip files) and , after that i went into fastboot and tried (fastboot folder) "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but cmd only says "waiting for device"

Check device manager on your pc, most likely the adb driver device isn't listed - if not, reboot your pc and try again.... This has happened to me several times......
ok now it worked. writing boot and so on .. finished. total time: 2.717.
i shut it down and started the phone again.
now it almost made the starting sound. after 5 boot cycles it played the whole starting sound and also showed the second screen with the "o1ne" and "beatsaudio" on the bottom.
but thats it. boot cycling in a different way now .
seems like it just doesnt want to work.
i'm so sorry that I am bothering you for so long now..
another idea?
thanks again!
edit: im gonna go through everything again with magio rom r5...
ok got it now. thanks a lot dude!
i deleted the rom files now from the phone but still there is 9gb used on the phone. this is way to much, isnt it?
is there a safe method to clean the whole phone .. something like c:format ?
thanks ³
No problem dood.....
Download an app called diskusage from the store - start it and choose storage card.... Post a screenshot please!
Sent via a weather balloon towed by a flock of seagulls. That's how this messaging stuff works, right?
after the phone went out of battery, it was in a boot cycle again after loading and rebooting.
flashed super su.zip again, but it didnt help. stupid me didnt do a backup yet. so do i have to install the rom again and do all the configs from scretch?
What's your hboot status? Locked/unlocked, s-on/s-off etc
Also, did you do, or install anything before your phone powered off?

Hi!
I have a serious problem here. I offered to try and fix a friend's HTC One SV (4.2.2 Jelly bean). His battery died a few days ago, everything was working fine before that. He charged the phone and tried turning it on, but now it gets stuck on the HTC One welcome screen. (I've added a photo of the bootloader screen as well) The phone is not rooted. I've tried everything - clearing cache, recovery mode, factory reset.. Nothing helps. While researching for solutions, I stumbled upon a post where they said that if it were rooted, a custom recovery or RUU would be possible.
Since I am a bit of a newbie to rooting and hacking in general, then I'd like to ask if it's possible to root the damn thing now that it's not turning itself on properly and unlock the bootloader so I could flash a new ROM for example. Will it do any harm? Do you have any suggestions?
P.S.
Taking it back to the shop is an option and I am aware that warranty will void once it's unlocked. Despite this, we're willing to give it a try.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a bit confused, about that "Security Warning" on the picture. Not normal at all!
But if you really want to root, unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com.
Follow the steps, they provide a guide on their website, how to unlock.

Turned the phone on and went to the bootloader, the security warning is gone. That's good, I assume? What about this ***tampered*** part?

It seems the phone was unlocked/S-off already, and the one who locked it back to stock forgot to reset the Tampered flag.

That can't be. He is the first owner and hasn't touched it in any way.
Tampered appears only after unlocking the bootloader.
Maybe a refurbished device!?!

Ah, yes! I completely forgot about that. He had its power button repaired a few months, perhaps the tech guys did something with it.
Will this change anything?
No, not really. You need to unlock at htcdev.com.
Thats your first step.

I've been trying to do that for the past 2 days, but I'm stuck at step 5 - when I type in cmd ''fastboot oem get_identifier_token'', it says ''fastboot is not recognized as an interal or external command, operable program or batch file''. When I clicked on the fastboot.exe, it said something like adbwinapi.dll is missing. Downloaded that, the error was gone.
I've googled for solutions and so far none of them have worked. What could be wrong?

Do you have htc drivers installed on your pc?

I have HTC Sync Manager. The drivers should come along with that, or not?
EDIT: Something odd happened - the phone started bootlooping, so I did a factory reset and then a red text appeared saying ''this build is for development purposes only.... etc''. I have not started unlocking the phone, it was simply connected to the usb while the bootloader was open. After the hard reset it does not bootloop anymore, but it is still stuck on the welcome screen. Thought it may be important.
I don't know, what happened to your device. But you need to solve this fastboot issue on your pc to proceed.
Also check, if the bootloader still is locked.

I finally got my bootloader unlocked - it turns out Windows 8.1 was the problem. I couldn't manually install any drivers, so I refreshed my Windows back to 8.0, that helped.
Now, I'd like to root it and flash a custom rom to see if it helps me get out of the stuck HTC screen, but every rooting guide requires USB debugging to be enabled. How can I do that if I can't access the settings, because the phone won't turn on?
You can boot into bootloader, do that. Plug your phone to the pc and make sure your phone is in fastboot (usb) mode, not in hboot mode.
Download this three things:
- http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
(copy to sdcard of your phone)
- the recovery from first post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41456540#post41456540
(copy to the folder on your pc where your fastboot.exe is)
this stock rom for your variant (or another rom for your variant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
(copy to sdcard of your phone)
Follow the "How to" in recovery thread to flash recovery, then follow the "How to" in the rom thread to flash the rom from recovery and at last step flash supersu.zip from recovery.
