Before I get into the gist of my current problem I think it might be relevant to provide some backstory. I decided I wanted to try and root my phone so I could install a new custom ROM. I had done some jailbreaking back when the iPod touches came out, back when jailbreaking was extremely ghetto and unreliable, so I figured I could teach myself this fairly easily. I unlocked bootloader using the htcdev method without an issue, and, following a guide, downloaded something called Rootboot to flash the phone. There was only one step to this portion, so I assumed it would be easy. Running the rootboot started rooting my phone, however after a couple of lines in the command prompt it said something about the adb, failed, and the phone was stuck in a boot loop with no roms on it at all. I stayed up all night with the damn thing attempting to fix it, and at one point, actually got it to load up the stock ROM from the computer using some combination of RUU's and fastboot commands. I have no clue how I did it, all I know is that it was not through adb sideload because the recovery I had at the time wouldn't work with adb sideload for whatever reason. It was the recovery that came with the All-In-One toolkit, for the AT&T / TELUS version. At this point I figured since the phone was working I would just install the VenomROM, and after a few hours of playing around with fastboot and the bootloader trying to get a ROM loaded, I figured I was familiar enough with all of them to load the ROM.
Which is what brings me to my current issue. I KNOW the boot.img is flashed to the device because I used the All-In-One Toolkit to do it, erased the cache, did it again using fastboot commands in the command prompt, erased the cache, and continued to use recovery to install the ROM. I got it to load and install, cleared the darvik cache, data, and cache, but when booting, the phone would get to the lock screen, upon which sliding to unlock, presented me with a white screen that says "htc" on it instead of a launcher. After a couple of seconds of waiting, it says, "setup has quit responding" and gives me the option to close or to wait. Either option results in the phone rebooting wherein I only see a black screen with the notification bar at the top displaying my battery and no internet/network connection. I have gone back and flashed the boot.img again and cleared cache, darvik cache, and data several times and just have no clue what I'm doing wrong to not get this phone to boot with the ROM. I can reflash at any point from my sideload.zip file and the installation process has an option to flash the kernel (boot.img) because it is included in the zip. Any help would be much appreciated. I highly doubt theres anything wrong with the ROM or boot.img, it is probably me just not doing it right.
I am using (or attempting to use) the 1.2.7 version of VenomXL+ on the HTC One X+ along with TWRP 2.5 as the recovery.
Hi patarrfwifwi,
This should help you getting your phone back, make sure your SDK/ADB tool is perfectly installed (see in my signature if you need a guide) on your computer, this is the manual procedure to achieved a custom recovery, installing root and transferring a ROM via sideload to your phone to allow an installation.
Download this recovery HERE
Move this file in your platform-tools folder
Press and hold the Shift key and right click on a empty space of that folder and select Open Command Window Here

(Success)
Type again>fastboot erase cache
(Success)
Unplug your USB cable
Hit one time Power
Select Recovery (Volume down)
Hit Power to Reboot in Recovery
Your phone should reboot in Recovery
(!! The following instruction are with TWRP Recovery installed !!)
Select Advanced -> ADB Sideload -> swipe to activate
Download this file SuperSU and transfer this file again in platform-tools folder
Press and hold the Shift key and right click on a empty space of that folder and select Open Command Window Here
Type>adb sideload SuperSU.zip (Enter)
(Success)
Once done select Install menu of the Recovery
Locate sideload.zip and select it.
Swipe to confirm.
You are done rooting your phone.
Stay in Recovery and delete the sideload.zip file

(Success)
Once done select Wipe menu and wipe (factory reset and format system)
Select Install menu of the Recovery
Locate sideload.zip and select it.
Swipe to confirm.
Aroma installer will start leave everything by default and install the ROM.
Once done select Reboot-> Bootloader
Make sure FASTBOOT USB is highlighted
In bootloader via the command window type>fastboot flash boot boot.img (Enter)
(Success)
At the prompt type>fastboot erase cache (Enter)
(Success)
Finally at the prompt>fastboot reboot (Enter)
Rebooting
Give your phone ~5-10 minutes to complete the installation.
Tell me how that went please.
Thank you very much for the extensive reply. I am going to start on this right away. Quick update: I tried installing a different ROM named elegancia and got the same problem at the lock screen with it saying system process not responding. Might be irrelevant at this point, but I thought I'd throw up the update.
Starting this now, I'll get back to you when I'm done.
Unfortunately, this ended in the same problem. White screen with htc, system process stopped running. boot loop.
The only differences between this and what I was doing is that I never had that SuperSU step before and I was running everything from the data folder of the All-In-One toolkit instead of the sdk.
Try fixing permissions in recovery.

Ok, did that. It just enters a black screen with the notification bar at top, then goes black. The keys respond to hitting the lock/power button, but the notification bar goes away permanently, then phone goes back and reboots again.
What boot.img are you flashing? Is it the one inside the .zip?

Try the one in the forum under the downloads. I know it's the stock but give it a shot.
Where would I find that?
If that doesn't work try the Beast Mode Kernel.
Download: http://db.tt/aGV3WhR2
Extract the boot.img from .zip and then flash the .zip in recovery.
Does this work?

Don't get cocky that was an accidental thanks
Here is the stock boot.img from the Viper thread
Download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764372
I don't really need a custom ROM, if I could just get the phone back to stock that would be good too. Basically, I don't care what I do to get it to work again, I just want to be able to use my phone. I've been out a cell since Sunday night and if going back to stock is easy and simple I'll just do that. If custom ROMs are the easiest option at this point I'll stick with that too; whatever gets my phone working the fastest.
Any luck with the above?
I flashed the boot.img from the beastmode, adb sideloaded the zip, installed the zip, did a wipe (darvik cache and whatnot) and after the Viper startup screen, it brought me to a screen that said upgrading apps (260 of them) and my hopes were up so much, but then it just started with the black screen. went into recovery and wiped the cache and darvik cache again, restarted, same problem with the htc screen.
I flashed the stock boot onto it and restarted. No luck,
I'm going to bed for the night. I'll be back on around 3 PM EST tomorrow.

I'd go back to stock for now.
What I would do is get the att latest ruu and adb it to the phone to install. This happened to me and all I got was a black screen with the noti bar on top and nothing else. And then i send the latest ruu zip through adb and installed it. And now I have a working phone
Seems like we can't downgrade right now..
Sent from my SoftBank AQUOS PHONE Xx 203SH using XDA Premium
can you give me a link to this? i found the latest ruu, but its an exe file instead of a zip
RUU is always under an *.exe type file. It must be flash in bootloader mode (fastboot) via your computer with your phone plugged in.
Can you tell which HBOOT version you have (you can check this in bootloader mode)?

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this, and I was told before I start getting into ROMS that I need to run this software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
So I followed each and every step, and my phone rebooted and it said "Unlocked" like it was supposed to. BUT, when it booted into the OS, it booted into the stock OS as if I had just bought it off the shelf. Additionally, I am seeing a little exclamation point and android character when I go to the Android Recovery option under fastboot (also installed via linked software)
What happened!?
Congratulations, you have just successfully unlocked the bootloader. Obviously you had higher hopes and were expecting bells and whistles, sorry to disappoint but that's it for this step. Next, flash a custom recovery via fastboot (I recommend the RomRacer's version of CWM), and then use that recovery to flash whatever ROM you choose. Instructions for all these steps are available in other threads. Good luck!

I thought when the phone rebooted after unlocking bootloader, it would boot back into the system I had before unlocking it? I flashed the "Tenfar recovery" that was in the automated script. However, when I flashboot into "Android Recovery," this is when I get to the exclamation point/ android character. Is this normal?
EDIT: I just reran the script to install recovery, and it seems to have worked the second time. I ran a backup and saved it on my external SD card, but is this backup of MY system, or of whatever its now booting into after being unlocked?
Ok guys, apparently I've somehow managed to screw this up. I swear I am following instructions completely!
I decided to try MIUI first, and so I made the backup, wiped all the data/cache/etc, and flashed the ROM. Upon reboot I discovered I couldnt get past the Dual Core screen. So, I rebooted into recovery and flash my backup, and have now found out that I cant get past the "Rethink Possible" screen.
Since at that point you haven't flashed anything else yet, the backup you made couldn't be anything else but your "normal" system.
No idea what (if anything) might've gone wrong, but here's something that you maybe didn't know - after flashing a new ROM, the following boot will always take MUCH longer than usual. After that the phone should boot at "normal" speed again. So have patience and give it time.
Also, not sure how come you're stuck at "rethink" screen. As far as I know that's the very end of the boot process, it is shown just before the launcher starts. Still, give it more time. If nothing happens after, say, 5 mins, try booting into recovery and wipe data and cache, then try booting normally again.
I think I may have found the problem. When I go to restore, it runs for a while, and then says "Error formatting /data"
What should I do?
Alright, im at a loss here. I've done everything I can think of. I've tried every restore setting possible, I've wiped everything MANY times, I've flashed a few diff ROMS to try to get ANYTHING to work.
I am utterly confused about why none of this is working. I've read so much info on the forums that my head is just swimming. I never thought this would be that hard.
At this point I'd just like to get ANYTHING working so that I have a usable phone tomorrow.
sounds like you're having lots of fun :laugh: try not to worry... we've all been there to varying degrees
If this was me I wouldn't go down the 'fastboot' method but just stick to accessing android recovery by the 'power off/on, hold volume down when powering on, and then selecting android recovery'
After this you should be into the phone's recovery mode with the menu in front of you? scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and select (by pressing the power button) after this select 'wipe cache partition' and repeat the process.
Then go to 'install zip from sd card' and select this... if you have installed the ROM's correctly you should have a list at the bottom of the 'sd card' list? Select the rom you want and install by pressing power button ect.
Once this has been installed you then need to 'go back' to the main recovery page and then select 'reboot system'
Let us know if this helps... and good luck!
i would add wipe all (data & cache) again after installing!
I would try this:
Power down your phone, go to fastboot mode (Power + Vol-, then find Fastboot with Vol- and confirm with Vol+), connect to computer, then on the computer run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot erase -w
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then in the same menu as before, select Android recovery (and confirm with Vol+). When in recovery, try doing restore again.
If that doesn't work either, here's an alternative method to wipe /data from recovery using adb.
When in recovery, connect the phone to the computer and run this:
Code:
adb shell
That should place you in the phone's shell. Now in recovery go to Mounts and storage > Mount /data.
Then in the phone shell (on the computer) run this:
Code:
mount | grep /data
It should print something like:
Code:
[color=red]/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B][/color] on /data type ext3 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
Note the first value printed. For me it's /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 but I'm not sure if that goes for all Atrixes out there, so better safe than sorry.
Now go back to recovery and select Mounts and storage > Unmount /data.
Now back to the computer - run this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B]
Where XX is obviously what you got from the previous command.
When it's done (you get your prompt back), type exit and go back to recovery on the phone. Now you can try restoring your backup or flashing a ROM or whatever.
Solved

This is EXACTLY the process I had been using. I just tried this again with MIUI, and again I got the screen that said MIUI was successfully installed from the sdcard. I rebooted, and now I've been stuck at the "Dual Core" unlocked screen.

As you don't know about fastboot I would suggest you to download automatic bootloader unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871, unzip it, you will find img file named " recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4" replace it with romracer recovery you downloaded and rename the romracer recovery as " recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4". Just to be safe even replace the "recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029" with rom racer recovery and rename it as "recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029". Open main and select option 6 and follow the on screen instructions.

Okay, so I did this and then went in and reflashed MIUI and it worked! Of course, now that I think about it, I should've created a new backup or something, but I guess its too late now.

Hello,
I have no background in phone/computer knowledge, but I recently just started taking an interest in rooting and figuring out how to use my phone to its full potential. However, I might have screwed up on a couple things.
I was able to unlock my phone, but I accidentally wiped everything. There is no OS on my phone, and now my computer won't recognize my phone (it does not show up on My Computers). I researched and looked up many things on google, and tried a couple things, but to no prevail. I wish I could reset my phone to it's original setting, but I can't seem to do that. Now I wish I could download any OS.
I know this might be rather silly, but I know that the XDA community is very helpful. I have no idea how to dig my self out of this one, so please help. If anyone could walk me through on how to save the phone, I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much in advance.
Can you reboot your phone in bootloader mode? To do so phone in OFF mode by holding volume down and pressing power should bring you to this mode.
Then you will need to install SDK tool to have your phone control. Read HERE to do so.
Once done, install a custom Recovery and start at the -- Recovery installation -- section of this GUIDE
When the recovery will be installed correctly, you will have to sideload a ROM to your phone.
Download or locate the desired ROM on your computer.
Rename it with a short name.
Place it in the sub-folder : Platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Reboot in TWRP RECOVERY
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload Slide to start.
From the command line, type : adb sideload your_rom_name.zip
It can take several minutes to complete the transfer.
If you need further help, I will be around to help.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Thank you so much for your fast response. The problem that I am running into is that I followed every step of installing SDK on to my computer. However, my device is not being recognized by the computer. No wizard, no USB recognition, it only tells me that the device has not been successfully installed.
Is there any way around this? Again, thank you so much.

This is normal if your phone has no OS installed. Follow this and go ahead in bootloader, it will work.
Download TWRP Recovery for the International version (ENRC2B) or for the AT&T/TELUS version (EVITARE_UL)
Once downloaded to simplify the operation rename your file like this : TWRPrecovery.img
Take this TWRPrecovery.img file and Copy/Paste it in the platform-tool of your SDK folder.
Reboot in bootloader mode. (Volume down & Power)
Make sure the FASTBOOT USB is highlighted.
At the prompt type >fastboot devices (Enter)
If you have your serial number as confirmation
At the prompt type >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter)
If Success is achieved, type again at the prompt >fastboot erase cache (Enter)
You now have TWRP Recovery installed.
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.
Select Recovery with your Volume rocker.
Hit Power button one time.
Your phone should reboot in Recovery
Familiarize yourself with it.
Click on Advanced -> Sideload
And try transfer your desired ROM.
If this is successful, you will be able to select it in the Install section of the recovery.
Let see if this will work.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Again, thank you so much for all your help. I've been reading up on your guides and I've been learning so much. You truly are such a big help.
I was able to get Viper.img on to my phone through a adb sideload. However, when I reboot my phone, it still goes back to TWRP. I tried installing a rom through the Install option, but there is no .zip file that I can use when I go under /sdcard/Venom.
Is there any way I can get past TWRP?
Thank you so much

The ROM itself should be in a .zip format. You download the file you want and once finished you transfer it in your platform-tools folder without unzipping, it most remain a .zip file.
The image (.img) file (~5-10MB) is the boot.img to be flashed in fastboot mode for the ROM to boot.
So you have to sideload your intend ROM to your internal phone storage exemple : adb sideload The_Venom_Name_ROM.zip (Enter)
If I understood well, this is where you mixed up. Let me know the results.

I guess this is where I am confused. I am able to sideload Venom, and I install it, and it says that it's been installed successfully and that I reboot. I reboot, and TWRP comes up when I turn the phone back on.
From here, I tried to look for anything that would take me out of TWRP and onto the phone, but I cant seem to find it. So Venom has been successfully installed, but I don't know why TWRP keeps coming up.
Thank you

So flash the TWRPrecovery.img and then install the sideload.zip?

You now have TWRP Recovery installed.
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.
Select Recovery with your Volume rocker.
Hit Power button one time.
Your phone should reboot in Recovery
Familiarize yourself with it.
Click on Advanced -> Sideload
And try transfer your desired ROM.
If this is successful, you will be able to select it in the Install section of the recovery.
Let see if this will work.

I don't have FASTBOOT USB highlighted. I can't find one. So, I highlighted only the FASTBOOT. I then typed the fastboot devices. I got what seems to be the serial number. However, at the prompt, I tried typing fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img , but then it replies me "error: cannot load 'TWRPrecovery.img' : Invalid argument". I do have the downloaded recovery zip named TWRPrecovery.img in my platform-tools folder. What should I do now?
Thank you for bringing me here to this thread!
Hi Narakera,
When you are in bootloader mode, and you plug your USB cable the FASTBOOT USB doesn't highlight but your serial number is found. If you have a blue HBOOT + FASTBOOT highlighted then unplug your USB cable and press Power button once, this will bring you to a red FASTBOOT that will highlight FASTBOOT USB when a USB cable will be inserted. Could this be your issue?
See the screenshots for the differences.
(SOLVED)i downloaded the RUU from HTC Dev Site and i have no clue on ow to install it.
this is the guide it came with any ideas?
--Please follow below command to download the official android toolchain: (arm-eabi-4.6)
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt
NOTE: the tool ¡¥git¡¦ will need to be installed first; for example, on Ubuntu, the installation command would be: apt-get install git
--Modify the .bashrc to add the toolchain path, like bellowing example:
PATH=/usr/local/share/toolchain-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH
--Start
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- ap37_android_defconfig
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- -j12
$TOP is an absolute path to android JB code base
--Clean
$make clean
--Files path
> arch/arm/boot/zImage
> Please remember to update kernel modules also by the following commands before full function testing
adb remount
adb push ./drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko system/lib/modules/

Alright!
This is where you have made all wrong. AHRD is only available for the International version. On your phone you can only install any custom ROM tagged AT&T/TELUS.
Which Recovery you have? TWRP?
To fix your issue tell me which ROM you want and I will write you a guide on how to get out of this situation.
There is a Venom full tweaked and customized.
Elegancia Stock and full y modded.
Blackout Mongoose a good mix of stock and customization with an optimized kernel.

Is your phone alive now?
If all is good now for you, can you edit the title of your thread and this tag to it : [SOLVED]Need help getting RUU Stock back on phone
This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers:
x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files by typing cd c:\fastboot for example.*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img"
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
SuperUser: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252959. This is a stock rooted rom for ATT. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user) Or you can download a custom rom such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip super user tool to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead.
I recommend these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665&highlight=menu
Download it.
Installing custom rom/kernel ("flashing a rom")
Overview: Download Rom, boot into recovery and wipe and then flash.
According to Shenye, even though your device is s-on, you can still flash boot now. So just do this:
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip kernel/cutom rom to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
I feel like this title should be changed to clarify that it's unlocking the bootloader, not the SIM lock.
Just wanted to say this tutorial was 100% dead on and what I used to unlock bootloader and root/rom my One.
Oddity - Did everything, I've got root but I -AM- out of the woods. Was installing bulletproof mod through recovery but it kept failing due to missing a MD5 file or something -- Trying to work that out through that thread atm but anyway, rebooted the phone a couple of times now and I still have root, Tit back up works OR are we talking about things like CPU clocking won't work since it can't rewrite?
Sticking this.
Excellent tutorial. One thing to add:
If you flash the TWRP recovery you link to, after TWRP boots for the first time, if you reboot into System, TWRP will offer to install SuperSU for you; no need to find another to flash. Once the system reboots, you can launch the GUI installer to finish the SU install (it will boot into TWRP and back one more time to do the actual flash).
Does anyone know if this will work on the Rogers HTC One?
Thank you. Followed this last night. Worked flawlessly. The only thing that threw me was rebooting into recovery. It took maybe 3 or 4 reboots for it to say "TAMPERED" at the top. When it didn't say tampered, it would not boot to recovery.
TELUS?

followed step by step and got an error that says submitted token wrong length
I'm on ubuntu 13.04 and I get stuck at getting the token. I type in fastboot oem get unlock_identifier_token and it says waiting for device. Tried it with sudo and it says error and sudo ./fastboot and it says no such command.

Having a really odd problem. I flash the twrp recovery per instructions. I try to reboot to recovery and it seems to try and then, blam, the att boot.
I have tried this from the bootloader, selecting Recovery, as well as from a booted stated using "adb reboot recovery".
Any hints for me? I originally had a silver One and today got my Black One replacement,. Had no issues on the original one. Hmm. Guess I will try CWM.
FYI: Yes I unlocked the bootloader and it says Unlocked in there
-I also notice that I seem to go right into fastboot, when I boot the bootloader. Now, I believe that is normal if you have the usb cable attached, but this happens regardless.
-flashed stock recovery back and can get into it. trying twrp again, renaming the file to "recovery.img" just because...and it worked on that stock recovery file
-Also, very hard to get into bootloader from powered off state. I may flash RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular and see if it helps me.
OK, maybe it is the phone or ATT has done something screwy on the latest. I can not even get the RUU install to pass inspection. Wants me to check the connection. I know all my stuff is in order, as I did this all on the previous one. grrr
-Just noticed mine does say Unlocked but it does not say Tampered.
-Crazy. I decided to get a new Unlock token and redo the unlock with it. Now, the bootloader finally says Tampered and I got into TWRP. I have no idea why, since I would think that if the original Unlock token was incorrect, it would not have unlocked the phone.
So, rather than providing worthwhile information for anyone else having problems, I think this post is probably deletable and that is fine by me should the powers so decide.

fastboot oem lock
but, it will say relocked. nobody cares or seems to check. also, it will say tampered until you restore a stock ruu to flash. I used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe for mine when switching from silver to black. it is the right one for att. sorry, don't have the link to the download anymore.
great writeup! quick comment though, just helped my brother unlock his phone. i had a similar issue to @Barsky above so I decided to try to reflash the recovery. The first time I used the line fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery and I think that's what caused it to not boot into recovery. The second time I flashed TWRP, I didn't enter that line and voila it worked on the first try!

I think the last bit was your problem. You can't factory reset from bootloader. Try to push twrp again in fastboot then load/flash clean romantic, then boot up. It already has root so you don't need to push su.

Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!
Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.
