What error are you getting when trying to run the RUU? You need to make sure the RUU matches the base of the rom that your phone is currently on. What were you doing when you started to have this problem?

theres nothing available for me to flash i believe everything was erased from the internal memory
Sorry I meant to say fastboot, I reset my SwiftKey keyboard because I got tired of fighting with it and the reset made it worse lol
Just download trwp recovery image and fastboot flash that, then pick a rom package and extract boot image and fastboot flash that, boot into twrp and flash the same ROM zip
Hurray, SwiftKey has arrogantly corrected 10,000 keystrokes, if only I could get it to work as intended

mount your card from twrp and transfer the necessary files, again the new meanrom should include the workaround that xhausx ported from the evo 3d, it should save you the trouble of having to extract the kernel for fastboot

Hello Guys, I hope to be in the right section...I have a problem with my HTC Rezound. Few months ago I unlocked the boot thought HTCDEV and I install Amon Ra Recovery 3.13 and after 3.15 and so ever since I was able to flash ROMs etc.
Yesterday I downloaded a new ROM after I did a full erase through the recovery... the installation was fine but when I turn on the device it was stuck on a black screen.
So with adb I tried to flash the room with fastboot on the terminal of my pc... I tried a million of times but after a while I always get the same message:
installing boot
image error (Boot Magic check failed)
I tried to erese the recovery or to install a new kernel or boot etc... nothing worked so far...
What can I do ????
Thanks
What ROM are you trying to flash?
Can't flash a ROM in fastboot
Take the battery out and put it back in, hold down volume rocker and press power..then select "recovery" from the hboot menu.

Yep yep, also if you are trying to flash BAMF ROM you have to do put the PH98IMG.zip manually in the sdcard its not automated like scott's or bored's (unless this has changed)
didn't work
I was tryng to flash a rom from scott's clean rom and it didn't work...after I downloaded pretty much all the rom that I could find and none of them worked...
also that the rom that I use to flash in the past don't work anymore...
I pulled out the battery... i went through the recovery HBoot etc...but none of them worked
right now I'm hopeless

when you say "update manually" do you mean try and push the file? If so it cannot be done this way. Just upload the ROM on a different sd card and see if that works

You can't install a ROM using fastboot and ADB commands, it has to be done through recovery.
Each ROM is a specifically formatted update zip file. It has the files for the ROM, plus an update script/update binary. Recovery knows what to do with this because it was designed to use these. Fastboot, is far more generic, and will only flash files packages in the .img format. These files are meant to replace entire partitions.
My suggestion would be to try to re-flash your recovery from fastboot and see if you can gain access to the recovery.
As title says i want to know how to boot my Main ROM, i installed Boot manager and on one slot i installed MIUI, after that i tried to go to my main rom with no success, its still on MIUI, Boot manager is not working properly, when i select boot phone rom nothing happens. Idk how to go back now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Try two things.
1. Try to reinstall boot manager in miui rom and then try to boot to phone rom.
2. You can flash the update.zip file in the phone rom folder on recovery. Then reboot those should boot you into the phone rom.

ok first even boot manager tells you that you should have s-off for this to work properly.... and it would work you will just have to manually flash the boot.img's to the rom you want to load

This is correct, you need to fastboot to recovery then flash the phone Rom update.zip. that's the only way for s-on'ers to flash to boot from recovery.

I have been s-off since the downgrade was discovered so I don't know about smartflash but I do use 4ext. And I feel like I'm intruding on wloftus because he has you dilemma figured out, but here's what I'd do. Sorry wloftus.
Fastboot boot "anyrecovery.img" and flash the phone Rom update. You can flash 4ext, cwm or twrp. It doesn't matter that 4ext is installed on the phone, it won't hurt if you boot a different recovery from fastboot. 4ext will still be there when you regular boot to recovery. I've done this many times with twrp installed and fastbooted to cwm.
Edit... You said you reinstalled meanrom, if you had a custom kernel installed to it when u set up phone Rom then the update.zip might not get you back to meanrom. If you had the stock kernel for meanrom then the update should work.

This is what i did:
1. adb reboot bootloader.
2. fastboot boot recovery.img(TWRP 1.1)
3. Install ZIP(MeanROM 3.92 with ziggy)
Should it work? It is installing the ZIP right now
EDIT: It is working. At least i have now the boot animation from MeanROM. It is booting. I promise i wont use Boot Manager again.

Yeah, that should overwrite the boot image that's taking you to miui and get you back to your phone Rom.
For future reference you shouldn't ever have to reflash a whole Rom just to get back to the phone Rom. As wloftus said earlier, the phonerom update just wasnt sticking because you are s-on. I'm sure this can be done with smart flash but I don't know how. Next time just fastboot to recovery and flash the update.
Edit... Dude, boot manager is da bomb. I used it for 6 months with s-on and never had this issue. Just a lil hiccup for you, now you know how to fix it.

It's easier than it looks.
ok so i reverted back to stock to fix an issue i was having, it worked fine
but then i tried to flash a new version of speed rom to test it out, but then i forgot i need 4EXT to flash my rom
i wiped everything, and since my rom couldn't be flashed im stuck without a rom
ok, simple right? i just flash 4EXT and restore
but i didnt have an unlocked bootloader (even though i have S-OFF an unlocked bootloader is necessary) so i unlocked it, but i didnt have a rom when i unlocked it so i couldnt reboot
so know i cant flash a new recovery because it wont stick,
so i cant use any recovery, and i cant boot up either :/
is there a way to get out of this without going back to the RUU?
Did u try flashing cwm and seeing if that would stick... Just until u can get back running?

What are you using to flash the recovery? If you're trying to do it via fastboot commands it won't stick, trust me, I tried, use hasoon's tool, that seems to stick, oddly enough I switched out one of the image files with 4EXT but it still doesn't stick, anyways use the tool and flash cwm, restore then you can install 4EXT via recovery updater once you've got yourself a booted rom.

Question: Why don't you want to go back to the RUU?
The only thing I can think of is trying to extract your nandroid backups and then flash the stuff from the backups through fastboot. Don't ask me how to convert the data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar into an img file, I do not know how to do that, sorry :/
But if you do figure out how to convert them, flash them as follows:
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
If you're lucky, you may be able to boot up, and then after that, reflash the recovery.
Alternatively, you could try
fastboot erase recovery
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and see if that sticks
(DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ENG BOOTLOADER, AS IT MAY NOT ALLOW YOU TO FLASH THE RECOVERY)
That's all I can think of right now. I'll try to come up with more ideas later.
i tried all of the above
i dont want to reflash the stock RUU -_-, i have to many files to transfer
U may not have a choice.
Either way... U should know that your phone isn't bricked dude... It turns on.

If you have the ruu you should be able to replace the recovery.img(or at least remove the one in it) and remove the hboot image, that way you won't have to reflash eng hboot.. I can find the link to the original leak that I flashed, but they simply took out the recovery and hboot image from the zip- it saves some steps.
As much time as you've probably spent doing everything else you probably could have done it 3 times already! LOL. I love you man. Haha.

You don't have a card reader, or some old phone that can connect by usb? You only need it on the external - I have a feeling that is why it goes on the external, the phone may not boot into anything, but you can alter the external without it.
And I think there is a fastboot push command or something like that, isn't there?

OH YEA. I forgot that was part of why I decided those phones suck. If they had removable battery and sdcard.. oh well. you're screwed.
So right now you don't have eng hboot flashed right? Because that is the ONLY reason that you can't flash recovery or other things with fastboot commands - if you don't, flash that, then you can flash recovery that will stick, then you can reboot into recovery, adb push the file you need, or restore a nandroid.. Just sayin.
no i have always had ENG hboot, and im unlocked,i dunno why it doesnt stick
Open cmd. Put ruu file in same directory where the cmd is running.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip (ruu filename here).zip
Wait until it completes. You may have to do it twice. After that's done, you'll have a stock rom.
Boot into it and then load up the eng hboot to the sdcard, rename it to PH85img.zip or whatever is correct, then reboot into bootloader, let it flash.
After all that is done, you should have an eng hboot. The next step would be to flash a custom recovery. I'll let you do the rest.

First of all i've been searching for a way to fix this for hours now without a solution.
My problem is as follows:
i installed official miui beta and got stuck with a boot loop, i was running 4text recovery but i wanted to try something different so i flashed twrp recovery in fastboot. however whenever i try to go into recovery now it just reboots and goes into boot loop again, so i cannot access recovery or boot into my rom.
I have tried flashing several recoverys via fastboot but each time it just reboots and does not enter recovery.
i have also tried rebooting into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery and adb reboot recovery but still it didn't work.
i have flashed another boot.img but now it just gets stuck on miui screen instead of boot loop
is there any way i can get any recoverys to work? i have tried looking for a 4text recovery.img as 4text was the last recovery to work but i can only seem to find the app that flashes it.
i have also tried flashing a rom through fastboot by typing fasboot flash zip rom.zip but it just says failure.
i am now downloading RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504. and am going to try rename it to PG86IMG and update through bootloader after relocking it and then unlocking it again but i am not sure that will work.
in short i flashed a new recovery but it just reboots device when i try and enter it and the rom i am on happens to be stuck on boot loop so i cannot get in rom or recovery and flashing a new recovery does not work.
BTW i am S-ON HBOOT-1.49.0018
sorry for the lengthy post and also any grammatical errors as i am tired

The whole problem, which is always the problem is you are S-ON. The MIUI rom will NOT run unless you install the newest firmware. You cannot install the newest firmware with S-ON because it is locked up in a partition that you cannot access unless you go s-off.
Has nothing to do with the recovery. I've been using 4ext recovery pretty much the whole time I've owned my EVO 3d and never had one single problem with it.
There are roms you can run with s-on but not the MIUI one.

cool, didn't know that, my problem now then is how can i reflash a different rom, bearing in mind that i cannot access recovery? do you think putting the pg86img stock ruu thingy on my sd and letting bootloader install that will work?

I do believe that if you are s-on, you should be able to relock the phone and then run the rru from your computer.

My next step was to relock it and run the ruu through bootloader, can you do it through computer/fastboot?
Sorry, I haven't been on the forum for a while.
Read the following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053&highlight=relock
It should help you with the process.
The rru file you have should be an executable file that the name ends with "signed.exe" if memory serves. I do believe you can run this from your windows desktop if you are using windows. The link above has the adb command to use to relock the phone.
Once you are up and running again, you can install an ics rom even if you have s-on. I am running one but there are a few steps you need to do in the correct order so you don't end up where you are.
Good luck and have a great weekend!
Here is another good link to do what you are wanting to do.

This might be even easier for you.

So I flashed cm 10.1 before achieving S-Off. Bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed. It sits on "quietly brilliant". I can get into fastboot and recovery, but cannot get any files onto my sd card. Can someone help me get back to a stock rooted rom so I can achieve S-Off properly? Or if it's easier, I'll go all the way to complete stock and start over. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You most likely need to fastboot flash the kernel (boot.img) so the ROM will boot. Just another reason to get S-off

Would it work to flash the stock kernel and then stock RUU? Also, twrp cannot mount my sd card.

You have to install the stock recovery first as I recall, then you can RUU.

i tried flashing stock recovery from fastboot and i got a "not allowed" message.
Why can't you take out your sd card plug in the pc and place meanbean rom on there. Flash meanbean which will flash the kernel. Then flash stock rooted rom.

Would be better help if I knew more of what is going on. Were you trying to S-OFF with CM10.1 installed? Did you just flash CM10.1 while S-ON and can't get the phone to boot? But anywho... with what I know now:
If you still have the CM10.1 ROM on your phone:
take the boot.img out of the .zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will install the boot.img / kernel and should allow your phone to boot.
Then you can go back in TWRP and flash a stock ROM.
To flash a ROM in fastboot:
fastboot -w
to wipe you device
fastboot update ROM.zip
that will install your ROM in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img after too I assume.
Or you can even do so by using adb in TWRP:
adb shell
mount data
adb push d:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finishes and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard (mount the data folder into your sdcard folder)
find your ROM.zip
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions
if no errors then reboot the device
Also, in TWRP with your phone plugged into the computer you should be able to mount the phone to get access to your storage on your computer. Not 100% sure why that would matter or why you need to get to your storage though. I'm pretty sure that's called USB-OTG.

Also another option.
If you're trying to get the .zip for the boot.img just download the version you need from the computer, open the .zip, pull the boot.img out and do the fastboot command to install the boot.img / kernel.
If you need or want to RUU then you should be able to:
fastboot oem lock
that will obviously relock your device
then you can fastboot oem rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (assuming you have your proper RUU already) when on the black HTC screen
after that completes fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you'll be back to stock and should be able to boot the device, root, or whatever you please.
I think I covered every option. Lol.
Personally, I would just RUU again.
I've done this before with CM10 while trying to gain S-OFF and just RUU'd my device to see what would happen.
Keep in mind: anything can happen. I went into the process knowing there would be a possibility of a fail in which case I would smash the phone and pay $150 to asurion to get another device since I had the protection from Sprint.
TWRP will not mount any storage.

Sorry, we must've posted at the same time. I tried to flash cm10.1 while s-on and was stuck on "quietly brilliant".
I am going to go through your post and try your suggestions.

Then you should be able to flash the boot.img using
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and your phone will boot.
WIN. That did it. Message me your paypal email and i'll send your bounty. Now That I'm booted, can you give me the easiest way to achieve s-off to avoid another disaster?
thicklizard, thank you for your help as well.

Depends on your firmware. Are you on the full 3.16 which is the latest?
I believe I was completely up to date before this process. Also, my touchscreen does not work. Any ideas?
