Ive been through this. Relock(lock) it, run the RUU, then proceed with the instructions I linked.
I was never able to run the RUU while the device was 'unlocked'.

That tells me that youre not in fastboot on your device. I can dupe the same message with my phone disconnected from the pc, then I plug it in in fastboot, and all is good.
Please reinstall the drivers needed but it sounds like youre good. On occasion, I wont be able to flash some things or a file cant load. A reboot of the pc fixes those rare cases for me. Also, refreshing the folders where the files are located.
I also had issues using fastboot, flashing things to the evo because I had my nexus connected for a tether.
If I could do it for you, I would. Hopefully I can help.

this just got even worse, I uninstalled the drivers, and now I can't reinstall them. I can't find them. My computer wont recognize my phone at all. I've tried to goto the device manager and find them online automatically, and I've tried the google USB drivers from the extra folder from the SDK Manager...
if you can point me toward the USB drivers that'd be great, but regardless, what your saying is I need to connect my phone while its in the bootloader? not once its booted? or are you saying I need to boot my phone through the bootloader selecting "fastboot" first?
thanks again

Theyre all in there. Youll need those files to root but you should already have the htc sync drivers installed, plus the android usb drivers. You can remove htc sync after installation but keep the drivers.
Boot into hboot and connect it, it may recognize the hardware. Then select fastboot. Fastboot is 'hot swappable' we'll call it, so you can be in fastboot and disconnect and reconnect your usb cable and youll see when its connected-- itll read 'fastboot usb'.

Where were you going wrong? And what'd you do to correct it? So everyone knows, in case they encounter the same issues.
Sent from my Google Nexus S 4G via XDA Premium
Good Idea:
Problem 1)
The RUU wouldn't run
I had this problem because I had already unlocked the the bootloader
I had to re-lock it in order to fix it
Problem 2)
Then The Recovery.img would push through because I forgot to re-unlock the phone
what I did that made it easier:
I wrote a little batch file to run the scripts - a batch file is a command prompt command list set. you open a notepad, type in the the command lists and save it with a .bat file extension...
so I would install all the files and then make a batch file with the following:
cd C:\android
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb push su-2.3.6.3.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
pause
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
change the C:\andriod to whatever your directory set was
and when the batch program runs
anyway good luck to anyone who ends up here, and thanks again tailsthecat3 for the great help

I've scoured google and forums but I just can't wrap my head around this HTC stuff. So I'm being lazy and asking what to do.

Press thanks for the guy who helped you out.
And yeah make sure it is named PH98IMG.zip (make sure it isn't a .zip.zip) and place it on the sd card not in any folders, and then boot into hboot which is power + vol. DOWN.
Step #8 demand payment from your friend cuz you just debricked his phone
Edit: I forgot to add that when your finished flashing the ruu he must re unlock the bootloader if he wants to flash custom roms. I assume he knows how since it was unlocked when he gave it to you

anyone????
You're trying to do step 4, flashing recovery thru fastboot, right?
Haven't used fastboot in a while, and not at my home computer (where I have it setup for fastboot already). But from what I can remember:
1) You need the fastboot tool/drivers. The one here should work (under "Required downloads"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
I can't look at that download right now (my work internet is blocking that download site). But if its a zip, you need to unzip the contents.
2) Place the fastboot files in their own folder someplace. I usually just make a new folder in the C:\ drive parent directory for easy navigating in the next step.
3) Place the recovery image you want to flash in the same folder as the fastboot files.
4) Connect your View to the PC using USB. Reboot the View into bootloader. Select "fastboot" in the bootloader screen.
5) Open command prompt (On Windows: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt). Change directory to the folder where you put the fastboot files.
6) Type the command into the command prompt as given in the guide you linked: fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-express-HC.img
okay here is the story:
my freind bought a htc one x plus and it was working perfect till he reset the phone.
it now hangs on the " quietly brilliant screen" and does nothing else.
im not a novice on phones but would like some clarity on a fix.
i can confirm i can get the phone into bootloader mode and the below list appears i am unsure if the previous owner had installed a custom rom.
fastboot recovery
factory reset
simlock
show barcode
image crc
can some one give me some advice what a possible fix maybe i have been away from the scene for a while to due to illness
and are a bit rusty.
any help in plain simple terms would be most helpful thank you.
is it rooted?
if yes
install custom recovery
sideload a rom onto it
flash the correct kernel for it in bootloader (the mode your in right now)
if it's not rooted
find the correct RUU for it
he says its a sim free model so is there a european or uk sim free ruu u could point me to.
and how do i check its rooted ?
thanks
In hboot it will say unlocked..
I'm on the phone right now Google androidfiles ruu. Select enrc2b. Once you have it put the phone into boot loader and run it. Make sure you get one that = or > than the current hboot version

sorry not been lazy just carnt find a download to latest rom i need can u help thnks
go to bootloader choose fastboot and check what cid it is ("fastboot getvar cid")
we need to know cid to be sure which ruu u need
if it's unlocked you can easily use toolbox from this forum to flash a custom recovery and then flash a working rom.
there are also some threads in here which describe how to go back to stock rom, if you really prefere that

your screwed there's no vodaphone RUU's only way forward is to root the device OR return it to phones4u and get a replacement
its says unlocked at bootloader ?
has a recovery program called team win recovery project
can i flash a custom rom ?
if so can some 1 suggest a good one please
also can i just flash the rom directly or do i need the boot,img file also bit confused lol
yes just flash ANY International rom right now...please don't go asking "which rom is the best" it's all personal pref. just grab a rom flash the boot.img and tada
ok thanks for all your help
just one slight problem
when im plugging phone into usb its coming up htc mpt device
but nothing opens for me to transfer files to
in my computer device manager device is there but drivers are not installed how do i fix this thanks ?
this a nightmare any one help ?
It's a nightmare because your not taking time to think. You have to sideload the rom from recovery. Take a deep breath and learn to use the the search function of this forum. Search adb sideload. ALL of the information and more exist here. Just take it.

just pmed you but to point you into the right direction: it's the spaces in the path to the file...
just move the files you want to flash or sideload to a simpler path lik C:\Roms\ or something like that to avoid any errors. maybe a subfolder within the toolkit-folder.
also look exactly at the path of your adb folder. it must not have spaces.
Hello, everyone. I am going to get right to it. I think mI messed up my wife's phone. Since I can still get into the bootloader, I believe there is a chance to un-mess it.
I updated the bootloader on my wife's HTC EVO 3D from 1.4 S-off to 1.58.5858 S-off. Her phone is running a gingerbread ROM and still using the 2.17 base. Stupid move, I'm sure. I downloaded a Jupuonutbear 1.58 hboot, dropped it in the root of her SD card, named it PG86IMG.zip, and booted into the bootloader.
Now, all I get is a bootloop. Every time I try to start her phone.
I am a stupid, stupid man.
Hopefully you all can help me put this right, and after that, maybe give me some directions on how to PROPERLY go about updating her phone.
First, Let me tell you what it says when I boot into the bootloader:
=Juopunutbear=
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.58.5858
RADIO-0.97.10.350
eMMC-boot
May 17, 2012, 15:06:44
Then the regular hboot menu, etc.
My thinking is that I can pull her SD card, delete PG86IMG.zip, and drop a 1.4 hboot in there, naming it PG86IMG.zip. Then boot to bootloader, and problem solved. Is this correct, or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks for reading. Sorry for the minimalist tone, I really wanted to craft a wordier, funnier post, but in this case I figured I'd better just stick with the facts. Hope somebody out there can help me.
You got it. Just put 1.4 back on there.
This should be in q&a, not developement.
People. Save it. This thread isn't going to need 10 post telling the op he posted in the wrong forum. Report & move on.
To answer your question. You just need to flash the 1.50.5050 jb boot loader
To enter right into recovery use the command below.
adb reboot-recovery
This will skip the boot loader from reading your SD card .

OK, no re-post then. Well, I tried flashing a boot.img from the bootloader, but it didn't read right. On the plus side, I have access to recovery thru the bootloader now. So, I am thinking, try another 1.4 boot.img(anybody have a link?), or try to update the rest(from GB to ICS, radios, etc., is that even possible? If so, does anybody have any links?). Common sense, of course, dictates that I try to get it back to 1.4, then start a Q&A thread in the PROPER subforum about upgrading her phone.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Also: THANK YOU. SINCERELY.

Thank you, I have dropped the hboot 1.4 onto the SD card, renamed it PG86IMG.zip, but when I boot into the bootloader, it just says:
No image or wrong image!
Then goes back to the bootloader menu. I am using the version with Revolutionary S-off, because my wife's phone was and is s-off. Any suggestions?
As I said, it would seem some progress has been made, as I now seem to have access to recovery, but I am stumped as to where I should go from here......
I'm guessing you know simple fast boot commands.
So here's a quick way to flash bootloaders. First remove the PG86IMG.zip file from you're SD card.
Place the pg86img.zip file in your fastboot directory. So where you would keep your IMG files for flashing.
Next. Place your bootloader in fastboot USB.
Follow the commands in order .
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now enter recovery clear cache & reboot device.

error: cannot load 'PG86IMG.zip' : unknown error
I have double and triple checked, and the file is indeed named PG86IMG.zip. I followed the commands exactly as entered until that point.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Strange..
Make sure everything matches, even CAPS.
so if the file is PG86IMG.zip you will type it as
Code:
fastboot flash zip PG86IMG.zip
Not fastboot flash zip pg86img.zip if that doesnt work try the next option below.
download this bootloader. (hboot 1.04)
download.
Place is in your Android folder where fastboot is located. dont rename the file and use the command below.
Code:
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
Trying it now.....
Okay, that proceeded as you said. Device has rebooted, and is functional. Had to reload a couple of widgets.
You, sir, are a lifesaver, and I have thanked you.
Any forseeable problems to her being 1.04 hboot instead of 1.4? She is running CleanROM Reborn 1.1...has been since she got the phone a year ago.....
And, yeah, I typed it caps and all, an exact copy. Dunno why it wouldn't flash.... but the 1.04 did....
