I recently bought a htc one x plus and as the person as i am, i quickly unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod recovery) and kernel. But then i tried to flash a AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM and after flashing it, it would just hang around the AOKP boot logo (a horse head with rotating rings around it). Then, without thinking, i relocked the bootloader (with a custom rom) to send it for warranty. Now, it would only go to the bootloader screen. After going through a few forums, i found out that this could be repaired by using the correct ruu for my device but they all say that i have to flash a stock recovery and boot.img before relocking the bootloader in order for the ruu to work. So my question is can i reunlock my bootloader to flash the stock recovery and boot.img without bricking the device and can flashing the correct ruu repair my phone. Please reply, i'm so desperate. The htc guys wanted me to pay $400 just to repair it and since i rooted the phone, warranty does not cover it.

You can unlock the boot again if you kept the code you received when you did it the 1st time round. Once you have unlocked it you can then flash any Rom. Did you make a nand backup before installing the custom Rom? If you did you can reinstall the custom recovery and restore the phone to stock.
I currently run the viper 3.4.2 rom, you could also install this after installing the custom recovery.

Hi Sharveen,
Please do youself a favor, and don't use the CWM Recovery, this Recovery is not adapted for this phone, I strongly suggest that you install TWRP Recovery, the latter is way more complete and rigorously tested on the HTC One X+.
TIP : Please read, read, read as much as you can before doing any changes to your phone, that can save you lots of problem.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
DO A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM. BE SURE TO KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work
Thank you soo much for replying and no, i did not make a nandroid backup when i tried to flash the rom. So can flashing a correct ruu repair my phone and hopefully get it back to stock rom...
Is your SDK/ADB tool correctly installed?

If you want to flash a RUU you need to install the original Recovery then flashing the correspondent RUU. Just let us know what is your preference, but as far as I am concern, your original backup wasn't made too bad, but you can still install a modded ROM.
This is gonna be your call for the continuity.

You could try searching the forum to see if someone has a nand backup for your phone. Only problem with ruu's is they haven't released the more up to date ones, so if your phone had the latest ota I doubt you will be able to use the ruu method. Personally I would use a custom Rom until you can find a nand for your phone.

The original recovery will be contained in the %temp% folder created by the ruu when opened but do i have to flash the boot.img which is also contained in the folder and also most of the forums says that you have to flash the boot.img after flashing the recovery while some says that you could relock the bootloader and flash the ruu after flashing the recovery only. So in my situation, do i have to flash the boot.img or not.

Apologies in advance but a bit of a newbie question......
I am the recent new owner of an HTC One X+ on the UK Vodafone network and am keen to get Andorid Revolution HD 6.2 running on it rather than the stock setup.
My system as it stands is as follows:-
Android version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense version: 4+
Software number: 1.14.161.18
Kernel version: 3.1.10-g262c6aa
HBOOT: 1.30.0000
CID (Via CID Getter): VODAP001
I have unlocked the bootloader (S-ON) via htcdev.com and gained SuperSU status and flashed TWRP International thanks to hasoon2000's excellent All-In-One Toolkit v2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961) and am now a little worried about taking the next step I guess!
I have the ARHD 6.2 rar file downloaded, the flash_boot_6.x_0.1.rar to flash boot.img and I have also downloaded the firmware (1.17.401.1.zip) as per the requirements according to mike1986. from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995685).
My plan is to use hasoon2000's Toolkit to flash the boot.img, run the wipe command via TWRP (do I also need to upgrade the firmware using the 1.17.401.1.zip via TWRP - and how do I go about that with no writeable SD card) and then ADB sideload the Android Revolution HD 6.2 ROM but I am hanging fire on this process until I can get a little reassurance that this is the correct approach and will work, I think it's the virtual SD card and the fact I cannot actually have the files sat on an SD card that is making me a little apprehensive.
I hope I'm on the right lines because I was very happy with my Desire HD with Android Revolution HD on it prior to my upgrade and am looking forward to getting back to using the most popular ROM on my new phone!
Any help would be muchly appreciated......and please tell me if any of the above is likely to cause me problems!!
you can not use the firmware zip from mike1986.
you have a Vodafone branded Phone. there are no Updates for hboot.
(Check the CIDs at the thread)

Thanks skdubg,
yeah i had looked at that and that was my main concern.
so since mike's rom requires hboot 1.35 i have to wait for vodafone to release a software update from hboot 1.30 to 1.35?
were this to happen would i then be in a position to flash a custom rom (provided the CID appeared on the list of course) or is the fact it's a branded phone a complete sticking point?

As long as you have the latest hboot you can flash any custom rom. It's not your CID preventing it. Problem is vodaphone does not usually release RUU's and if you flash a custom rom and end up with glitches/errors because you have an older hboot. There is no way to return to stock (except a nandroid).

Thanks for the explanation AndroHero, I was under the impression if things didn't match up entirely then there was a risk of bricking.
So my best plan of action would be:-
1. Create a full nandroid of my system as it stands from TWRP
2. Flash the boot.img relating to the custom rom
3. Sideload and flash the custom rom through the All-In-One Toolkit
4. See how I get on!
Either that or stick with stock I guess...
Yeah you shouldnt run into too many issues doing it that way. There is a million in one chance of bricking your phone flashing a rom with any hboot. Infact while S-On doing anything wont "brick" your phone. As long as you have a backup to return too. You'll be fine
You dont need to "sideload" the rom, just boot into android on your voda rom, connect to pc, and copy the rom .zip to the root of the device that appears.

Cool, well that makes me feel a bit more confident about going further, thanks.
I would usually take that route but with the "virtual sd" i seem to be having issues writing directly to the device through windows explorer despite the device appearing it tells me the "Device has either stopped responding or been disconnected" every time I attempt to copy straight to the internal storage - that's the only reason why I'm thinking I need to "sideload" the rom.zip
Ok, I don't consider myself too much of a noob, I have rooted my old droid incredible many times...however,
I tried rooting my rezound today and believe I was successful at least in getting my bootloader unlocked...(using Hasoon's AIO kit v3.1)
I tried loading aokp rom and it just stuck on the white HTC screen..I can get into hboot, I tried rebooting many times..I downloaded
RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.zip and copied it to the sd card, renamed it PH98IMG.zip and tried re-flashing to the same stuck white HTC screen.
I am starting to freak out and wish I didn't have to ask for help here, but I am at the end of the rope and don't know what else to do...
Any kind souls out there that can help me?
Thanks in advance...
Being stuck at the white screen means the kernel didn't load when you installed the rom. I'm assuming your phone is still s-on. You need to flash the kernel seperate from the rom using fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it from your PC, I believe the option is there in the all in one tool.
If you wan to run the RUU, you need to re-lock your bootloader first and flash it through the bootloader, not recovery.

If you want the latest official RUU, here is a link:
(the RUU you tried to use above was a GB one)
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor Grab 3.14.605.12
There was a recent OTA to take it to .13 but it's not really necessary.
If you want to go to the global leak RUU here is a link:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Since you are s-on, if you go to the global leak you won't be able to go back to anything official unless you s-off.
The above will have Verizon bloat, so if you want something stock without bloat you can look through the ROMs. I think there's a couple in there.
long story short i have to send in my phone for repairs i was trying to get rid of my custom rom and install a stock rom but some how i wiped out the entire phone i do however managed to get twrp recovery but can't really do much in there as no files are in my phone and it wont let me side load the stock rom help please?
Ok now dont panic !
Does your phone still have eat least 70% of battery left ? if yes then reboot into the bootloader and relock it and then run the RUU file whitch will return your phone back to stock,and for more detailed info im sry beacuse im currenty on my phone

What is your hboot version?
I hope you have Android SDK installed and running in your system?
I guess I have just run into the same issue. I wasn't able to find any help in the "Device Essentials" thread, unfortunately.
I have no rom. ADB doesnt work when phone is in bootloader or recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and I can't mount the usb storage to get the rom onto my phone. I miss the days of my samsung captivate....It was so easy!! Thanks for reading.
I guess the key point here is that I can't sideload anything because adb isnt working in recovery. My hboot is 1.40.

this should fix it. if that RUU does not work, try the link to the RUU I gave for parkerdjohnson

I am selling one of my Rezounds I need to return it to mostly stock.
Before installing the latest Infection rom I was on the current OTA rom. Basically I think all I need to do is reflash the stock recovery image and the current OTA rom and if needed go back to locked. Problem is, I don't have a copy of the recovery.img from the current OTA rom. Can anybody link me to it. Thanks

Here is a post with the full OTApkg.zip for 4.05.605.14:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40757466&postcount=19
If you extract the firmware.zip, there is the recovery.img which you can either put into a custom ph98img.zip and run in hboot or flash it from your computer using adb stuff. I recently had to restore my Rez back to stock as it is getting returned to Verizon for a replacement. I used the ph98img route to reinstall recovery after unrooting. I also then had to S-on the phone so I had to make sure it was bone stock so the S-on didn't brick it.
ETA: I'm not sure if that full OTApkg.zip will be enough to get you back to stock but what I had done in the past was to flash this stock rooted rom with Amonra 3.16 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40941755&postcount=1 ( I was already on 4.05.605.14), do the full unroot option using the supersu app that was already there, and then flash the stock recovery and I was back to fully stock.

Thanks... I am S-ON but that should really be all I need... I don't really need to go 100% pure stock, but if I can get it close that will work. Replacing the recovery image and leaving it S-ON, then flash the Stock OTA Rooted ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 and I think I will be close enough to sell it. If someone wants it with a custom ROM I can just leave TWRP and Infection, or whatever ROM they want, but I just need a quick option to return to "stock" if the buyer wants.

You may want to flash the rooted stock before replacing the recovery back to stock. I don't know if the stock recovery will allow it...

The beauty of being unlocked is it doesn't matter... All I need to do is go into fastboot and use "fastboot boot recovery.img" for TWRP and I can flash anything, irregardless of what the installed recovery allows. But thanks for the warning, this is probably what I would do anyway.
Doh!, I completely forgot about that way... Yup, that would work as well
I'm trying to give this phone to my buddy. Haven't used it since I got the S4, and he is still using a Dinc. I tried what was listed here, but it's only made things worse. I was on Stock 4.03.605 (leaked Global RUU) unlocked, rooted, s-on. I tried updating the firmware with the OTAzip. I made the PH98IMG.zip, and ran it through the bootloader. It only updated Hboot from 2.7 to 2.8. It did NOT give me 4.05.605 like I was looking for. I tried to run the Global Stock rom but got stuck in a white HTC screen. The only thing I can make work right now is a viperrom, but wifi will not turn on. I was hoping to give this to him as close to stock, but without wifi, it's not going to be very useful.
Currently I have it locked s-on with stock recovery, but I can unlock and put amon ra back on it. I use a mac so commands are a bit different for me, but I know the basics and what to on the mac (mostly). Any help would be appreciated. I tried to run the leaked global RUU again to reset it, but because the Hboot updated, it won't run it. I can't find an RUU for 4.05.605

My circumstance was very specific, this thread was not really intended to be a guide to take any version of software to another, I already had the firmware (HBoot & radios) for 4.5.605.14, just needed a few pieces to get back to "stockish"... There are other ways to return to stock for different software versions and this thread doesn't address any of those.
The OTApkg.zip is only for going from 3.14.605.13 to 4.5.605.14, no other combinations of versions will work properly. I am surprised that HBoot updated... what radios are you on now? If the radios updated then you might be OK, you can just unlock, then fastboot boot recovery.img of TWRP and flash in the stock/rooted 4.5.605.14 ROM (NOT an RUU, but just the ROM), otherwise you could be in a situation where you need to S-OFF and flash radios and tweak from there. If your HBoot updated then the leaked RUU won't work either, you could be in a tight spot.
BTW, the reason Viper won't work is you likely have a kernel mismatch, to install a ROM on an S-ON Rezound you need to flash the boot.img separately, that is where the kernel is, but that also requires you to be unlocked by HTCdev.

Damn....I have tried to flash the kernel (boot.img) through the fastboot command, but it never works right and leaves me stuck with a white HTC screen. Again, if it's bricked, it's not the end of the world for me as I upgraded to the S4, but my buddy was looking forward to 4g.
Basebands are 2.23.10.0123r, and 2.23.10.0124r
Well I think you're in luck, you have the firmware for the latest software installed... hboot and radios match for 4.5.605.14, all you need now is to unlock and flash a correct ROM! Working so I can't grab link right now, just get unlocked via HTCdev and post when that's done... all isn't list yet!

I just unlocked again..I don't need the HTCdev site anymore. The token and all that jazz is all saved to an android folder on the my macHD. I downloaded TRWP. Should I flash that next?

If you wish..
Actually installing a custom recovery is not required as long as you can fastboot boot the recovery image.
Did you want to return to mostly stock, or did you want to run a custom ROM like Infection Or something else?

I was looking for stock. 4.05.605 is ideal so he can play with it if he wishes. I don't want to have to field questions once its his. I don't mind helping him, but I don't want to cause him issues he's not looking for.
I have the image downloaded. How do I fastboot boot the recovery? Just ./fastboot boot recovery.img (as i have renamed the img as recovery.img)
Use this one

I tried this earlier, but I get the white HTC screen lockup. When you say extract boot.img, you mean unzip the download, pull out the boot.img and put it in my android folder to fastboot flash correct? The command I use is ./fastboot flash boot boot.img. It appears everything works, but it never boots. Just gets stuck in the white screen.
I'm downloading it now, should be about 14 more minutes. I will try it all again, and see what happens. Fingers crossed. let me know if my commands are wrong or I'm missing anything. the ./ is needed for mac.
If you load TWRP via Fastboot boot it will flash boot.img for you, if you load if from hboot you have to flash manually.
Before flashing ROM, download and flash the CleanWipe x5 script found in a thread on the development forum.

That works, just requires extra steps. I don't flash recovery anymore, you can go into fastboot on the phone, then execute fastboot boot recovery.img from PC, this gives an unlocked HTC phone temporary S-OFF saving steps of flashing boot.img seperately and avoiding the dreaded Tampered flag (if it hasn't been set).
Lots of ways to skin a cat I guess.

I have the tampered flag. But I don't care about that. I'm long past warranty anyway. But when I use the command ./fastboot boot recovery.img it says cannot load "recovery.img"

You need to extract the recovery.img file from the TWRP zip and put it in the fastboot directory.

I Have an Htc one X+ of coarse, and recently rooted it for the first time. After finding my way through that process fairly easily, I decided to try to flash a custom rom (Android Revolution HD 8.0). However I didn't put the necessary zip file in the internal storage before putting the phone in fastboot and flashing the new boot image. After that my phone entered bootloop or atleast i think its a bootloop. It basically just shows the htc quietly brilliant splash screen and sits there till i try to turn it off and then it goes off and then turns itself back on and repeats. However I can get it to fastboot and in to trwp recovery. So I have no back up of my original boot.img soo i just googled factory JB boot.img 4.1.1 and flashed that and cleared both caches and rebooted through twrp. Still bootlooped, so while reading on these froums i read that i should do a wipe of everything i did that so now i have no os at the moment. But after reading a post about a similar problem had by a galaxy user they flashed there there new custom rom boot.img and used adb to push the .zip file to internal storage however when i tryed to use the same command text they used it simply said device not found. so I'm at a loss for what to try next. I'm very Sorry for the long post but, any help at all would be appreciated.
P.S: Sorry for not being smart enough to find the answer on my on, thanks for your help in advance.
The boot.img you googled? Was it even for the HOX+ or just any JB boot.img?? You should be careful flashing any old boot.img could lead to corruption of the boot partition...
Anyway just for info sake, this isnt a bootloop, your device just isnt booting. There are two things you can do in this situation....
1) look in the android dev section for a stockish 4.1.1 rom. You just need one from a rom that isn't heavily modded like insertcoin or viper. You could also grab one of the custom sense kernels from the original android dev section..
2) You could flash the kernel you did originally, then boot into recovery and sideload the right rom to your device.

Thanks very much for the info and help I hope i didn't corrupt it. and I've never flashed a kernel before but Im sure i can find a tutorial. as long as I dont have to put any thing on internal memory sounds good to me. I guess sense I didn't have a kernal (atleast that i know of) the first time i guess i'll try 1. srry 4 being a noob btw.
EDIT: can i flash a rom from the computer without it being in internal storage?

Try booting the boot.img file manually from the ROM you downloaded (find it inside the zip)
you can do that by the fastboot method using your PC
Do this when you enter the bootloader menu.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Sorry just to clarify. A kernel and a boot.img are the same thing. Depending on your hboot version and CID. There may be an RUU you can run from your PC to install stock firmware.
You can get your hboot version on your bootloader screen, and get your CID by using the fastboot command "fastboot getvar cid".
If we knew those maybe we could help finding the correct RUU (if there is one).

If you are trying to flash a custom ROM, then you could just sideload. TWRP (and some other recoveries) supports a process called sideload for when you forget to copy your ROM zip onto the internal storage - since phones like the HOX+ dont have a micro-SD slot for removable storage. Just google for sideload - plenty of tutorials.
The custom ROM zip will also contain the appropriate boot.img, so after flashing the ROM, all you then need to do is flash the boot.img. Hopefully all should be well then.

Also I'd like to mention I've tired to push a file to my storage using fastboot and adb, but adb didnt recognize my device was there, although i haven't tired running trwp and the sideloading method yet so i guess I'll try that next.
EDIT: ok I managed to sideload the custom Android Revolution HD custom rom and it flashed it as soon as it was loaded to the phone however after flashing it. it just continued to say I had no os. does this mean like you mentioned be4 that my boot thing is corrupted?

The boot image and zip folder were separate I loaded the boot image manually be4 flashing the rom through side loading. and also I reloaded the boot.img after it regestered no os after flashing but it still registers as no OS so If the boot.img is loaded i should have an os according to twrp right?
also I took the SIM card out and put it in a backup phone for now that wouldn't be a problem correct? thanks again for all the advice.

Are you definitely not trying to flash international roms? Because the CWS CID is AT&T right? Maybe you should just flash an RUU. I don't know if there are any for the AT&T version. Maybe one of the American members can help..

In Twrp it says there is no OS installed. right before reboot. even tho I loaded a boot.img and sideloaded a zip and flashed it. after flashing and every thing it still says no OS installed. but i went ahead and rebooted it anyway but it just sits at the HTC quietly brillant screen.
Thanks for the advice about the factory restore i didnt do it right be4 installing maybe i'll try that.
1. I notice that you say you flashed Android Revolution. afaik, that ROM is for the International version, not for AT&T. Have you checked you are using an appropriate ROM?
2. I am assuming you did the sideload procedure correctly? Did the ROM installation start after it finished copying over the ROM to the phone?

yes it did installed apps and things then when it was finished i was still in twrp in sideboot and it said reboot. but it still didn't register an OS. hmm maybe I should look specifically for an at&t custom rom. thank s for the advice.
