If you can get into fastboot like you are. Your not hard bricked.
To flash the RUU like you are doing. In fastboot do the following commands...
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip PL99IMG.zip
That should work.

1. Download firmware from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pEVXGZ6K!auhgoO81DzNQduWfJPQJ-lBV6g29PL6wAOEvpYsm1Hk
2. On fastboot, flash this firmware
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip firmware1.55_cid044.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and see if you can manage from here.

Try to download and flash a new/different firmware.

fastboot failed:image update error

Hi all,
My friends HTC One SV has got itself stuck on the boot screen. Also I cannot enter recovery mode (Selecting "recovery" just vibrates, shows the android skaters, and then goes back to hboot).
After booting into hboot and then fastboot usb, I'm trying to flash a new recovery image or a new boot.img. Unfortunately I get this output:

@captainbadger
First: removed the serial number also from you fastboot devices result, please.
Then, have you tried another recovery build too? This one should also work on your hboot.
About the hboot: you can't update your hboot when the device is S-On.
What you can try, (if you can't flash recovery) is to flash again the whole firmware package. But as far as i know you must lock the bootloader for that and i don't know if you can flash the same firmware on the already same installed firmware.
But you have not much options for a S-on device, which don't has a working custom recovery.
A small F.A.Q. to understand things. Not written for k2ul but most likely similar.

Yep I tried another recovery just to be certain. No luck.

Then you should maybe really lock the device and try to flash the firmware.zip.
And maybe then you have more luck with recovery.

OK.
I need to reflash firmware.zip.
To do that I need to relock the bootloader.
To do that I need S-Off.
To do that I need to install and run firewater
To do that I need to get a working adb shell connection.
That doesn't work. The only working connection I have is fastboot. I assume that adb requires the OS to be up and running. This isn't the case.

You can relock your bootloader with fastboot cmd:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then you should be able to flash a signed (by HTC) firmware.zip, also when you are S-on.
The firmware.zip you need, you can get here: http://d-h.st/uwh
How to flash, you'll find in the linked FAQ in post #2.

Ok, but then i'm sorry, i don't have a idea, whats wrong with your device.

Yeah seems like a hardware issue. It has a cracked screen so maybe that's what caused it. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Pop quiz folks! Has any of you experienced problems with installing a Splash screen using HBoot 2.21? I can't even find which partition it is currently stored on an I checked all 38 of them. Any ideas from you guys?

Please Help!! sry for my english (L)

3540mv is basically a dead battery, for one. So charge your device first.
Secondly, are you sure you flashed the correct TWRP for the Evita and not the International One X? If Fastboot works, you should be able to reflash it.

Yep, charge your device fully first, keep it connected for at least five hours without interruption or interference. What app did you use to update TWRP?
Transmitted via Bacon

I'm getting the same thing.
And when I try to flash revovery I get.

[Q] Problem after moonshining

Hi, I have problem with my phone which is similar to the one described in this topic.
I have tried to S-off my One SV but I didn't update to the newest version of stock ROM which resulted in an error while running moonshine (it stopped after step 10 saying "Don't drink and moonshine" which was quite funny at first ).
Now the hboot says that the phone is unlocked and tampered.
I have tried flashing a stock rum using RUU exe file but it obviously failed.
Flashing .img files works fine (I have already tried to flash several boot.img's), I have even tried to flash new Venom ROM using TWRP recovery and it flashed fine, but the phone hangs on boot screen.
When I try to flash zip using fastboot it fails:
sending 'zip' (441985 KB)...

[Q] Softbricked. Unable to mount.

Hello.
Successful installed cm11 and base gapps via TWRP unable to load into system. After returning to recovery found that recovery is
Code:
unable to mount /system
unable to mount /cache
unable to mount /data
Any wipe not helping me out.
My device is s-off. Also I cant flash anything from fastboot, it just freezes after executing command.
Is there anything I can do in this situation?

try flashing lastest 4ext recovery via fastboot and see if that mounts.

Thank you for answer, lilsafbig. This is not working either. Device just freezes, and console waitng with 'erasing `recovery` ...', I believe i takes for ages.
I still can use adb shell, is there a way to enable usb debugging from TWRP?.
