I bought a HTC One X+ dev phone off craigslist a few days ago, been tinkering with it and seem to be stuck at the moment. (I think) it is an AT&T OneX+, although the cid is CWS_001 (See pic below) which is a cid from a one X I believe.
When I bought it had cwm recovery on it. I tried flashing TW and various stock recoveries I found around the forums, and none of them will work. When I try to enter any of them, it kicks into a boot-loop. Back to cwm, which works fine.
Anyways, where my real problems started was when I went to install Elegancia. I loaded the Elegancia.zip on the phone, and went into fastboot. I realized I had locked the bootloader in my earlier fiddling around, so I went ahead and unlocked with the file from htc. I then flashed the boot.img from elegancia, and went into recovery. (like an idiot) I did not realize that unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone.. so I lost my nandroid backup and the elegancia.zip from the phone's storage. Also the phone won't boot up, as it has the wrong boot.img file on it.
I tried several boot.img files I found around the forums, and none will get me into Android. I have also been trying RUU, but it hangs every time on "sending files" Tried several times letting it sit for one hour+.
So, I have fastboot and cwm recovery working, but can't get ruu or adb to work. I am realizing this phone may be a bit non-typical, and some of the "stock items" may not work on it.
Any ideas?

You don't need to unlock your boot loader with s-off..
A CID is a carrier identification number set so that you can only flash their approved software updates
To change it then just run fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Try running fastboot erase cache and see if it will boot into recovery
If it won't then you need to run an ruu
If you know how, try to get that hboot off by using dd, it seems to have extra option since its a pre production hboot
If not then don't worry
To run an ruu you need to be locked
Run fastboot oem lock to relock the phone
Then run the ruu.exe while you're in fastboot and it will work

Or you can just sideload the ROM....

Do you think this is why ruu hasn't been working? Would changing the cid to HTC_001 make it work?

What is dd? Do you mean "get it off" as in upgrade it, or copy the file elsewhere?

This is exactly what I tried yesterday, several times. Locked bootloader, run ruu, it does a thing or two, and then hangs on the "sending files" screen.

I have been unable to get sideload or adb to work. Sideload requires adb to be functioning right? Fastboot works fine, I have tried several different drivers, not sure what the problem is.

Ok I have adb working now, at least my devices shows up when I "adb devices"
However, when I try "adb sideload Elegancia.zip" I get this error:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I am using the latest cwm recovery for onex+
I can't get team win recovery to load.. phone just reboots when I flash it. I am clearing cache before and after, still no dice there.
Also the ruu appears to have updated my hboot to 1.3x. The phone will load all the way to the beats audio screen now, so I suppose that is progress

I am assuming you selected sideload from the CWM menu before running the command?
Resolved! I just kept running ruu... 8th time it finally finished and I am up and running.

FLASH AT OWN RISK, i take no responsibility if your device is not working afterwards, as I'm a n00b and not a developer.
How to flash:
1. download zip file
2. rename to PG09IMG.zip
3. put file on sdcard root folder
4. boot into recovery
5. when asked to update use the VOL + for YES and VOL - for NO
6. once complete device will reboot and device will be updated
- Feel free to use and abuse ROM as as you feel like it
Good Luck and Enjoy!
sorry for beeing a noob, but what do i get when i flash this rom, i assume that all the crap that at&t put in dissapears, but do i get extra stuff from htc, like locations?
also, do i have to have s-off?
Is this rooted?

This is just a new version of the ROM from ROGERS so that means it still has bloat ware on it not from AT&T but from ROGERS so IMHO i wouldn't bother.
i put it up here so maybe some dev can take it apart and make some thing useful out of it.
PS< this ROM can be flashed on a NON-ROOTED jetstream as it is a official ROM, just not sure you'd want to if you're not with ROGERS.
Good Luck!

ok, maybe it still has bloatware, but i downloaded the manual from htc, and it looks like it has more programs that's useful, like wi-fi hotspot, and it has htc navigation, if it's like htc locations, then it has offline maps

has any flash this Roman on At&t jetstream

First i put the downloaded file on a external sd card, renamed it to PG09IMG.zip, booted into recovery, on the screen i saw a column moving, checking the file.
after a while when it was done, i selected the recovery menu, i got i icon with a phone and a exclamation mark, and after a while it rebooted.
Then i tried to flash it throu fastboot,
in fastboot mode, i typed:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PG09IMG.zip
after some checking i got FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail)
so i assume that there is some check if i have a jetstream from at&t or rogers.

not 100% sure but do you have S-OFF?
also another thing i noticed different is how it reacted to your jetstream, on mine, i copied the ROM to the ext sd card in the root folder and then i booted into recovery it did a whole bunch of checks and then it asked me if i wanted to upgrade or not. So not sure why you had to go into the recovery menu. maybe try having your jetstream on fastboot and try it again.
Hope it works! Good Luck!

i don't have s-off
when i had the rom on my ext sd card it did the checks like it did on your's but i didn't get the update prompt, i even tried to use a gold card.
so i don't think at&t wants us to update the rom, i think i'll have to wait till we get unlocked bootloader or when we get root.
Your jetstream is at&t so you can't flash rogers rom
I have done all the above mention methods and by using goldcard.

I don't know what happened to my evo view, I didn't s-off it before. My brother borrowed it and when he gave it back to me, it was just in that situation, hung at htc screen. So I tried to flash another stock rom (actually , it's the rom running in my device) , but I have no luck to bring it back
Are you sure you're using the 1.22.651.1 RUU?
The reason for asking is that the RUU process is detecting that as the version-main on your device but is then saying there is a version check failure which would indicate that that is not the RUU you are using.
I tried the RUU in the first post, also another sprint express RUU 1.18 with no success bcoz of a bootloader error. I download these 2 roms from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184
You must use the 1.22.651.1 ROM, can you run that again and collect the RUU log for that version.

thanks for your answer. But in order to make revolutionary to work, you have to access android working screen to enable the "usb debugging mode", if not, there is no luck. htcdev tool does not ask for this, everything is working on the fastboot mode. Unfortunately, somehow fastboot.exe couldn't read my device info in the step 8.
@globatron, I'll try to reflash it and upload the log. Thanks so much for joining me
Try pulling the rom.zip out of the 1.22 ruu.
Rename the zip PG41IMG.zip (.zip is the extension not part of the name, some people actually make that mistake).
Place the PGxx.zip in the root of an sdcard and place the card in the device.
Boot the device into bootloader/fastboot and let it read and hopefully it should install and get you back to a running state.
I find running ruu's can most times be a pain than a saviour.

thanks for your advice, I did try it that way with no success. let me make thing clearer in the first post.....
Run the RUU again as I said, with the version I specified. I need to see a log that is definitely for that version.
Sorry for the delay, it seems that the main battery is low, I can't run the RUU right now. It is charging. Sorry for that
when you have enough power to do this, delete all the old log files before running the RUU so only the ones from this run are included.
okay, here it is the log file
ok, that RUU was entirely successful. Does it boot now or is it still the same?
It's still the same, hangs at htc screen
try removing the sdcard and a factory reset (both together) then see if it will boot with the card still removed. If not take it in for repair telling sprint that you tried to take an OTA update then this happened.

Worked for me as far as I can tell. My device says S-ON but above that says 'UNLOCKED' and I was able to flash the CWR 5 recovery image and use that as posted earlier in this thread.
The worst nightmare was getting my computer to recognize the phone. I had recently put a new hard drive in my computer, and HTC Sync etc would NOT work. I tried TWO other computers and still would not work. Finally had to dig up the old hard drive, put it back in my first computer (since I had used that successfully to update my Slide in the first place to Froyo 2.2) and do all the steps.
Still can't explain what the problem was, since the new hard drive is the same base OS (Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit) but at least it worked. And now this phone has some life again (despite a failure to replace a cracked digitizer)

I still cannot s-off I am netting error code 155 through the ruu wizard?
You can't S-OFF with the new bootloaders. But at least with your bootloader unlocked, you can do some of the things an S-OFF'd phone can (like flashing CWM Recovery and r/w in /system/), so it's still fairly useful.
Hey guys I need a bit of help.
Im stuck running the RUU. Specifically the part right after it says "Erasing User Data" where it says "Sending"
Yes the sending part. The blue bar never does anything and the phone stays in the black screen with the words "HTC" in green.
Once I get the error I can disconnect and do a battery pull and the phone turns right back on.
I have my adb drivers and i have HTC Sync installed.
I tried running the RUU from both the C drive and my documents and the same results every time.
If anyone has a fix and knows what im doing wrong I will appreciate your help.

Which RUU are you trying to flash? I see in your sig that you've got the Virgin Mobile Evo V so I'm assuming it's the 1.13.652.2 version.
When I've flashed the Sprint RUU.exe versions, it's hung a few times at the "waiting for bootloader" stage, especially when I flash it S-OFF with a custom bootloader installed. That is usually resolved by cancelling the Windows app and restarting it.
I've also found that starting the RUU.exe with the phone in the "fastboot USB" mode in the bootloader helps, but it sounds like you are past the point where that would make a difference.
The only thing I can suggest is to restart it with your phone in the bootloader, and give it plenty of time to complete. Normally it takes only about 10 minutes, but I'd give it at least 15.
If all else fails, you may need to get the phone serviced. You didn't say why you are flashing the RUU but if a partition got messed up or you have some type of hardware problem it may never flash successfully.

Yeah I have a Virgin Mobile RUU and I'm flashing it back to stock to reroot it so I can get s-off . I spoke to one of the members of unlimited.io and he said that the s-off tool will fail unless I'm on a stock ruu rom. I have the bootloader unlocked and im on a stock deodex rom but he tells me to ruu back to stock root and then use the tool. Other than that my phone is fine. I'm just trying to change my hboot and a few other things so that I can fix the signal loss problem that the Evo 3D for VM has.
Oh and yeah I've tried fastboot and bootloader. Actually that's the only way I get past the detection. When the ruu says that its rebooting the phone it fails. I have to have it already on fastboot or bootloader

If you are currently S-ON, your bootloader needs to locked to flash the RUU.exe successfully. You can do that with the "fastboot oem lock" command.
The JuopunutBear wire trick requires that you are HTC unlocked, so you will have to unlock again after flashing the RUU but can use the same unlock token as the first time.

It work like a charm right after relocking the bootloader.

Not true that you must be on stock. I was running meanrom 2.5 when I s-offed
Well it didn't work for me with 3 different roms so I asked for support on their site. That was the response that I got. Now im s-off, boot on eng, and rooted running harmonia rom.
I also changed pri and prl as suggested and now my signal is perfect no calling or texting problems.

Need help. My hboot version is 1.40. Will the Asian WWE RUU work for my International One X+ Indian?
Yes that's what I'm using.

Thanks. So there is no specific Indian RUU like the One X, right?
Why bother even looking, the Asian ruu for download is the latest released.

Last question. I promise. How do I flash the RUU exe file. I am aware that you have to relock the bootloader prior to flashing stock but Hasoon's toolkit asks me to use the RUU zip file. Where do I get it?

Run RUU. When it gets to the first spot where you have to click next, go to Start-Run the type %TEMP% and hit enter. Search for rom.zip. Copy to desktop and there is your rom.zip

That means you are using an older ruu than what is on your device. Issue the command fastboot reboot and you should be booting back up

if you are just wanting to get it back booting, unlock, flash recovery then reboot into recovery, push a rom to sdcard and then flash it. then you will be able to boot back up normally
