Hello, ive been reading the forum for hours and i cant find a solution to my problem, i would really appreciate if anyone knows how to fix this:
today my ville c2 started to show "the process xxxxxxxx stopped" with every app and constantly (as i tap ok more of them keep coming with all apps) so i cant use the phone since all apps crash nonstop.
i rebooted in twrp recovery and tried to do a full wipe and installed the rom again, as i always have it on my phone (viper 5.3)
when it finished booting nothing really changed, everything was exactly the same and the error kept going.
Then, since something was clearly wrong, i mounted the sd storage from recovery, backed up all my data (pictures, ect) and formatted it, mounted it again (the sdstorage) and all the files were there, cant be deleted, tried to delete them from my computer, nothing happened, they are always there.
went to fastboot, tried to flash another version of twrp, it doesnt change.
tried to flash another rom, it doesnt change.
then i go to check my bootloader status, when i use "fastboot oem device-info" it says error.
i try to unlock the bootloader (seems like it locked itself for some reason) when i select yes, the phone reboots and my bootloader is NOT unlocked.
The bootloader screen shows this:
moonshine S-OFF
Villec2 pvt ship s-off RH
CID- BSTAR301
HBOOT- 3.01.4444
RADIO- 16.15.20.29_M
OpenDSP- v11.6.0.2235.00.0304
eMMC-boot
doesnt show locked or unlocked status.
Tried to change the cid to 11111111 to install another rom via RUU, on the windows it change and when i use the command to get the cid info it says 11111111 but when i restart the phone it comes back to default.
What can i do?

I don't like starting new threads especially but I have searched and searched and not come up with an answer/problem quite the same as mine. I am not a TOTAL noob and do understand s-on, s-off, htcdev unlock etc. Here goes
I got a Sensation from a friend who acuired it from God knows when but he asked me if it can be fixed. Its currently stuck in fastboot mode. Its Locked S-OFF however NOTHING I try works. Here is some info

CID
Is already Super CID = 11111111
RECOVERY
There is no custom recovery flashed and trying to flash recovery via fastboot fails saying "remote: not allowed"
FASTBOOT COMMANDS
Fastboot commands work to get cid etc but get a "remote: not allowed" to erase or flash boot,img, any rom or any hboot or ANYTHING
BOOTLOADER FLASHING
If I try to flash a firmware file through Bootloader, it parses the P58IMG.zip but fails on Bootload saying Fail-PU Partition update failed
FLASH SHIPPED RUU
Trying a shipped ROM also fails. Goes smoothly, reads current image on phone as 1.45.401.3 but once it starts updating, it sticks in waiting for boatloader and gives ERROR[171] while phone has restarted in FASTBOOT mode
HTCDEV Unlock
I thought I would give the HTCDEV method a go even though I know this is redundant since I am already supposedly s-off but even that fails cuz no lock, unlock screen comes up. Flashing of Unlock_boot.bin goes fine
I am at a TOTAL loss now cuz since I am already S-OFF, I should have been able to flash recover or flash a rom or boot image to get phone working again. NOTHING works!!
Any ideas anyone? Apologies if this has been covered before and I couldnt find it.

Have you tried playing with fastboot commander? Mabe try formatting all partitions, then installing RUU or PG58IMG ?Or try with different RUUs? The last thing I can think of is to lock the bootloader back, and try to send it to HTC with warranty.
Even fastboot commander, the same as entering commands manually can not flash anything or erase any partition. Dead end there.

what about locking it back to s-on? did you tried it? does it "run" a custom rom ?
First off to use all the fastboot commands you need to have a eng Hboot on the device. You can not use all fastboot commands with a stock Hboot which is what the Hboot 1.27.0000 that you have is. Click on this link to download the JuopunutBear eng Hboot and follow the below instructions to flash it via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
If you still can not get the device up and going using fastboot after flashing the eng Hboot, or if the Hboot will not flash you may have screwed up partitions on the the device. There is a fastboot or a adb command you can use to get a read out of the partitions but I can not remember it right now, just google it you will find it. I mention this because of the "Fail-PU Partition update failed" message you mentioned.
If it does flash the eng Hboot then you should be able to flash a custom recovery or anything else you want to flash via fastboot. If all else fails though do as gallardo5 sayed and flash the stock ROM via RUU while in fastboot and connected to your computer via USB. Then you can try to start from scratch rooting and installing a custom recovery.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned it. I did even try flashing the JB-hboots, both GB and ICS versions. Neither worked.
It gives error on erase cache, oem rebootRUU reboots back to fastboot and then flashing fails
I think you are spot on about the partitions about being mssed up. Even if they can be read out (i saw the commands somewhere myself) can they be repaired at all?
p.s. Thanks for your help
One more thing I should have mentioned and dont know how I missed, the FASTBOOT page says *** Locked *** not *** Unlocked ***. I dont know if this can/should be changed.
I am sorry in advance if I am being silly

If you have a messed up partition you can not fix it without replacing the whole board. And about the locked in fastboot that is why your fastboot commands are not working. But the fact that you can not flash the eng Hboot sorta tells me you got a bad partition and it will not take the flash. Blackwing had the same issue with his Sensation and all the best guys I know that are over on the IRC Help Now channel could not come up with a fix and finally diagnosed it as bad partitions. Hid was the exact same it would give aerroron erase cache. Find the command to get a read out on the partitions and post the read out here.

Did you try to navigate back to "HBOOT" and do a "Factory reset"?
If it does not work, maybe you should flash firmware using JTAG.

My phone was rooted and I have formated the system thru clockwordmod, relocked the phone, but now I'm stucked at the boot screen, it doesnt matter if I press reboot, power down, or something else it just returns back to the main HBOOT screen. I have tried to install several RUU's (SAGA_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1...1.47.401.4 and more RUU's with the number 401), but I always receive an error 132 signature fail, my image version on the phone I think is 1.27.405.6, I don't know anymore what to do have read everything on the forums, but without succes. I also can't access my from thru ADB anymore please help:crying:
Hi I unlocked my phone from a thread here in xda forum but can not find the link now. Recently I factory reset my phone because my it became terribly slow. Now when I go to an app and back to home, my home page always flashes white with HTC written and loading sign appears and then gets back to normal. But I cannot go to the market or online anymore and also cannot sign in to google account. So I wanted to restore the data from a backup I did before. I am not sure through which software I did that. I have some files in a backup folder I kept in my PC. The files are
1) .android_secure.vfat.tar
2)boot.img
3)cache.ext4.tar
4)data.ext4.tar
5)nandroid.md5
6)recovery.img
7)system.ext4.tar
Now I tried to install CWM recovery. I tried the method where you have to put a CWM image file and adb files in a folder(total 5 files) and install them through command prompt whlie your phone connected to PC as fastboot USB in bootloader. But when I tried to install it I got "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" this method. I don't know if the way I am following is the right one or not. I want to just go to the position where I unlocked my phone first time. Some information appears in the top screen when I boot into the bootloader.

Maybe this will help to understand what I have done with this device which apparently I don't. Also when I try to go to the recovery option in the bootloader it shows a Red Triangle with exclamation mark infront of a device picture.
My phone's software info are,
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Can anyone please help me to get my phone to normal. Thanks.
So...i purchased a HOX on Sunday and it was all working fine on straight talk not long after i got home with it. I was sick of the bloatware so i went to load a custom ROM (i've rooted/rom'd the Fascinate and RAZR before, i'm not totally clueless) and made the awful mistake of flashing an endeavoru ROM on my evita phone (at&t) along with an incorrect recovery. I didn't realize my mistake at the time and wiped cache/dalvik/factoryreset/ and system to try and install a different ROM. After failing to load that i tried other ROMs and somehow my sd card became corrupted. I tried to read many many threads (worked around 7 hours on this) to fix the sd card issue including:

I have tried to relock the bootloader, cmd shows:
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.940s
After doing that however it still says RELOCKED in fastboot, although under that is has Security Warning so apparently it still worked. Then i tried running "htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012", Version is 1.0.6.2012 on the 'HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility', it says my current image version is 2.20.502.7. After hitting 'Update' on that it says it will update to image version: http://i.imgur.com/IwD2nIQ.png. The program runs into ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR which i also can't seem to fix (it says to get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again but i'm pretty sure i have the correct one..). Here is the fastboot version and CID along with a failed recovery: http://i.imgur.com/wmg93YT.png
Once i realized my first mistake i put the correct recovery back on my phone. I even tried to sideload a rom onto the phone but it got stuck in CMD on 6% nearly instantly. I also have formatted the sd storage at least 3 times in windows.
So the current situation is:
- No OS installed. Phone gets stuck at HTC screen with red writing upon normal boot.
- Bootloader is accessible.
- TWRP 2.3.3.0 is installed and accessible through recovery.
- Can't install any ROM because the unable to mount /data error. When wiping dalvik i also get "E:Unable to mount 'cache' "
- Tried to format at least 3 times, no error in windows from formatting; sd card has no files on it in windows currently
- I've tried to push the TWRP recovery onto the device again, it works but nothing is fixed.
- Using Windows 7 64bit, HTC One X AIO Kit v2.0,fastboot tool
- Phone can be unlocked/relocked, however with an error in cmd (see above).
- Every program has been run 'as administrator', no change in result.
- Phone is recognized as 'My HTC' under 'Android USB Devices' in windows, so drivers should be correctly installed (not that i haven't tried uninstalling those twice already..)

**Update**
Ran through the Nocturnal guide for corrupted sd card and it seems to have worked. Was able to install the cm10 nightly ROM but it failed from a symlink error. Installed evita Avatar ROM instead and it has been booting up for the last 4 minutes, will update on whether or not that works.
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_o...s_08022012.exe download this ruu, if it doesnt load then the download link is in post 9 of the second link below,i think you are using the wrong ruu. You have to have the same ruu for the phone version...2.20 ruu for 2.20 firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956258&page=2
if that doesnt work read through that thread, i had the same problem as you when i first started, your phone is fine...as long as you can get into bootloader and recovery, your phone is ok..
Relock your phone again by the way (fastboot oem lock) from fastboot, if it says relocked..then it is locked again. run the ruu in fastboot as well, if that does not work try running the ruu in bootloader.
Ruu should work if you do it right...If it doesnt work.
Alternative, wipe your phone data,cache, dalvik and THEN flash boot img of a rom and LASTLY install a rom,

What is the Nocturnal guide for corrupted sd card ?
Okay, I'm going to begin by saying I'm not particularly well versed in this sort of thing.
Sunday night, my phone ran out of juice and I went to plug it up. Rather than function as normally, the screen stayed off for several seconds while the LED remained orange, as if it was charging. A few moments later, the phone would only go to the bootloader screen, and was stuck in a boot loop.
Now, the phone is still in a boot loop, but I'm trying to boot it from the SD card in order to fix it.
The phone software is official, I've never Rooted it or made any modification to the OS, and the phone status on the bootscreen is as follows:
*** Software Status: Official ***

Try putting RUU on an SD-Card or through ADB and see if it works.

S-ON is fine if you don't know or need S-OFF
The thread explains exactly how to flash the RUU
"Option 2
Copy 0P6BIMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to bootloader and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUUish file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
example
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
