Ruu is an exe installer. Don't run using toolkit

ok i've run the REALLY old ruu for 1.14. Now my only concern is that i have no recovery img and there is absolutely no way for me to install it because every time i've tried before, my phone (in fastboot usb) always gives me a vertical bar at the top right hand corner.

[Q] Can't flash new ROM. Goes to boot cycle after...

I am using TWRP 2.0 but I can't flash a new ROM. I currently have WARMTWOPOINTTHREE ROM backup, but I tried to flash a new ROM after wiping everything, and when it re-boots it just goes to the white HTC screen and then goes black and just repeats it self over and and over.
so i take the battery out and boot my back up from recovery. what do i need to do to be able to get back to installing whatever ROM i want.
i am a obviously a noob so whatever help anyone can provide will be appreciated.
i was trying to flash the ZR3D 1.2 ROM by the way.
If your phone is a gsm version try this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131
I just installed it on my evo 3d and works smooth
no its CDMA
I would go to Cwm 4.0 for recovery had nothing but issues using the latest twrp . Worked fine for awhile then it didn't wipe right to causing weird issues . Funky things after the rom flashed .

need more info in regards to how you flashed your rom but at this point im willing to bet you have lost your Boot.IMG and also did you use GUI app from market i did this and that how i lost my Boot.IMG and if so you will have to go to your pc and exract the Boot.img from the rom you flashed and after you have exratced file go to that folder and scrooll down until you see the Boot.IMG file and you will have to copy and past it into the folder that you used when you first rooted you phone and go to the start menu and typ cmd and you will have connect your evo to usb and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will it boot right up after you flash the boot.img file

[Q] HELP with BootMagic check failed

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?

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.

[Q] Thunderbolt stock on white screen after rom flash

Hopefully some one can help me because my thunderbolt is a paper weight at the moment. I used the android dev method for unlocking my bootloader. All went well and i had a factory reset phone with an unlocked boot loaded. I then used adb and flashed clockwordmod recovery ver. 5.0.2.1. Then used flashboot reboot command to reboot then held vol down and power button and got back into hboot/bootloader/flashboot etc menu. Went to recovery and it went to the white screen then to clockworkmod. I wiped the cache and also the cache in the advanced menu. I then installed liquid ICS. It went through it steps and said it installed correctly. Then I rebooted the phone from clockworkmod and it hung on the white screen. I tried to reboot it a few times with the same result. I then tried to install a gingerbreak rom and had the same affect. I read and dug around and found the stock pg05img and put it on my sd card. I booted back into hboot and it installed checked and installed pg05img. I rebooted again from the Hboot menu and it hung on the white screen again. So now I feel stuck. Is my phone toast. How do I get this thing back on its feet. Ive rooted and installed custom roms on my xoom but I am def a newbie. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Barry.

With the HTC unlock you cannot flash boot.img's through recovery, so any non sense based and/or non gingerbread roms will not boot. I'd suggest flashing one then getting s-off.

Thanks for the advice! I'm still pretty uneducated when it comes to my thunderbolt. what rom do you reccomend I flash and what procedure should I use now that I am stuck at the white screen?
I tried eternity 8-4 with the same result. I used clockwork to install it and reboot the phone. What am I missing?

With the rom file on the comp. Unzip it, and put the boot.img in the folder with fastboot you used to unlock. Then open that folder and hold shift and right click and click open command prompt here. Then connect the phone in fastboot mode. Once its connected, run
Code:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then
Fastboot reboot
And it should boot. Then use the tbolt tool to get S-OFF

Rooted HTC one x+ using wrong rootboot version and lost signal and wifi

Hi,
I just rooted my HTC One x+ using RootBoot for Software number 1.14.401.16 and i had completely forgotten that I upgraded to 1.17 today
I lost my signal, wifi isnt working and it was stuck on the HTC logo for a while but its unbricked now. I still have no signal or wifi though.
Does anyone know if there is a new rootboot version?
Cheers

So, you have a recovery installed, either CWM or TWRP? Why do you want to keep the stock ROM?
Use the All in One tool from Hasoon or follow the guide for the original One X that explains how to set up the fastboot folder on your C: drive, then flash one of the above mentioned recoveries for the X+ via fastboot, then flash the boot.img of a ROM you'd like to try, also via fastboot and then flash a custom ROM from recovery. But first make sure that you download a custom ROM.zip and transfer it to your phone as unlocking will have wiped your SD card.
Or you can just root your stock ROM, for that you need the Super User tools, so after unlocking, flash one of the recoveries for the X+ via fastboot, power up phone, copy Super User tools to SD card and flash them in recovery!
Make sure that you understand what you are doing. Reading first is mandatory!

You need to flash the boot.img inside the Rom.zip that you download. Put the whole .zip on your SD card, boot into bootloader, select fastboot, hook up the phone, point to the folder your fastboot files are located and you dropped the boot.img, open a cmd window, and type
cd c:\fastboot and enter, then
fastboot erase cache and enter
fastboot flash boot boot.img and enter
fastboot erase cache and enter
Unplug cable, select hboot/boot recovery, select, then inside recovery install zip from SD card, don't forget to select the wipe option in the aroma installer...
The whole process takes like 20 mins, including download of the ROM, copying the boot.img into the fastboot folder (make sure there is only one boot.img in there...the one you want/need), flashing the boot.img, flashing ROM in recovery and booting up (which takes like a few minutes)
Hope this helps

Just to make sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34173694 is the CWM recovery for the X+ or use the TWRP recovery found in the Android Original Dev section...and please, use the search button, read, understand and ask if you don't, and then a hit on the thanks button is appreciated

ATT Lollipop/KitKat Firmware Update signed/encrypted/custom

S-on users will need to relock/lock bootloader before flashing.
S-off users can simply flash using either method below. I also have included an S-off only option which i removed the boot and recovery img from (perfect for users on custom roms who only want to update firmware)
Option 1) Use fastboot to flash
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
*** If any message appears about reflush and flash run above command again ***
fastboot reboot-bootloader
**** this firmware has both stock boot and recovery so flash your custom rom's kernel and/or your custom recovery NOW before rebooting****
Option 2)
Rename zip file to 0P6BIMG.zip and place on your external SD card. Reboot to hboot and allow bootloader to update/flash
Download Links Do NOT mirror these elsewhere.
Stock signed/encrypted (includes stock boot and recovery)

OMG I LOVE YOU :fingers-crossed:
This is REAL developer spirit!
i did option 2 and it goes thru the phase in bootloader, and when it boots i hear the boot up sound but stays on the HTC screen, but i can hit the vol up and i can hear the sound like it did a reboot but its stuck on the HTC screen. any ideas?
I think you will need to reflash your ROM as dottat did not specify if he had made the package for s-off not to wipe. Generally during firmware update, it will wipe clean the phone to reset partitions, I am assuming. If you come from gpe firmware, best to reflash because gpe and sense have different partitioning.
Hold power+vol up to force shut down then use power+vol down to get to bootloader and enter your custom recovery from there.

Firmware won't wipe.
That said I believe by second option he meant SD card method. If he's s on he will likely need to reflash his roms kernel (boot.Img) via fastboot after unlocking again.
@hauntyu
Just pull the boot.img out of the zip of the rom you were running and flash that in fastboot mode after you unlock your bootloader again.
Which method would I use to flash the ruu or download because Im gpe and it says when I run the ruu its the wrong image.

You would need to set your cid and mid back to stock. Then flash the firmware only zip I posted in my other thread. Then factory reset. Then flash this ruu.

You have to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery and then relock. Then you can either download it from the other thread where it's posted and manually flash it in recovery or do it the regular way through update.

You are gonna need to lock using your pc so your pc is required anyways. Make sure you back up your stuff before you unlock your boot loader again as it will factory reset your phone to do so.

I'm trying to get back to stock, but I'm S-On. Every thread I've seen (including this one) requires S-Off and I can't find instructions on how to relock the bootloader from S-On.

Flash a stockish Rom and then separately flash the stock boot.img from the 4.4.4 firmware zip. Sunshine will fail on any Rom that uses a non stock kernel. Even debug turned on in kernel will cause it to fail.
OK so then it should go something like this..
1. Connect phone to PC.
2. Move recovery file you linked to my android folder on PC where my fastboot files are.
3. fastboot flash stock recovery
4. fastboot oem lock
5. Reboot
6. Take ota.
Am I missing something?

That looks ok. Once booted up backup internal and stuff because when you reunlock you will get wiped again.
