Hello everyone,
I rooted my One X+ a while ago. I have now relocked the bootloader for OAT purpose. The update was downloaded to the phone, but the update progress would not get pass the bootloader.
I learnt quite a lot about similar problems via various threads. It seems like a problem with the recovery, or rather the recovery is not present, because I am not able to go into the recovery from the bootloader.
I have tried to search a correct stock recovery image but have not had any luck for a while now.
Any advice would be much appreciated: am I right in assessing that the problem is with the recovery? or it is actually something else that I need to fix.
The software version is 1.17.206.1, cid is O2__001. HBoot 1.35.
Many thanks...
Look in the TWRP thread in original Android dev. I'm sure Lloir posted a stock recovery for both the International & AT&T devices

Thanks for pointing this out. Am I right in thinking that a specific stock recovery corresponding to the software version and cid would be needed? because I have actually tried flash the international version of the TWRP recovery as well as the CWM recovery, but neither made a difference to resovling the symptom.
No any international stock recovery will do. There all the same. Have you tried erasing /cache/ before and after you flash recovery? You can use the command "fastboot erase cache"

Thanks for the tip off. I have just tried it but it didn't make a difference. Running the update from the phone still rebooted straight to the bootloader, and recovery is not accessible from the hboot menu either.
It could be a corrupt misc partition. This kind of error is usually fixed by running an RUU. Do you know if there is one for you CID/Hboot version?

Thanks. I thought of this approach too, but my search for a correct RUU (i.e. O2 UK, software version 1.17.206.1) has not been fruitful. I did try an unmatched RUU (Europe_1.17.401.1) but it understandably failed.
Just a quick thought tho, the recovery images that I tried were both flashed successfully; i.e. no error messages. This seems to suggest that data were written into the disk successfully. But I am very puzzled...

Hi, I just got my HTC ONE X+ from Taiwan. I forgot to do a Nandroid Backup before I accidentally flashed a boot.img from another ROM. So, i got stuck in a bootloop. At first I thought it was okay, I just need to flash the ROM which was downloading. I realised that my phone's TWRP Mount USB can't be detected by my computer!! So, I had no way. Fastboot commands whenever i try to flash something it says Command Write Failed Unknown error. for adb it says No Device Found. ADB devices: none. Fastboot: yeah i can see a device there. PLEASE HELP ME. What can I do now? My HBOOT is 1.30.0000, RELOCKED Bootloader(I thought the bootloader was the problem. ENRC2B_U PVT Ship S-On RL

I think I had the same problem.
Did you try to use a RUU? Worked for me.
Indeed flash RUU trough fastboot, since u can still use that it should be fixed after that
Where to get RUU?

I googled HTC ONE X+ RUU. And was fruitless. Many are third party ROMs, and I'm not sure where to download the correct one. Even which to choose I'm not sure.
drivers installed?
There's a link on the TWRP thread you should have read before installing.
As Lloir says, do you have the HTC driver package installed? What recovery you have, should have no impact on how fastboot detects your device, just install drivers and flash a working kernel through fastboot.

Yes. I got HTC Drivers, Fastboot and ADB. Most of the things I try to flash has an error Command Write Failed or something like Remote Not Allowed and stuff like that And what is RUU? I thought it's like a ROM in ZIP format

Just seen your post,
You could have used adb sideload feature in twrp to send a rom and flash it.
I requested the feature to be added to Hasoons AIO toolkit for situations like this

Same problem
Hey i got the same problem and to start here i'am a noob in this. This is my first Android device and my first time trying to install a ROM. I used Hasoons all-in-one kit, and unlocking to bootloader went fine, so did recovery and Perm Root. I tried to install Android Revolution HD 5.1, so first I tried to install the other firmware that was needed for it, that is 1.16.401.6. I did something wrong there i guess and its stuck at the HTC start up logo. I tried to make sense of the posts above but i couldn't. My PC doesnt recognize the phone anymore but if I use a command from the all in one kit it does still respond and i can use the power and volume down button to go into bootloader. I tried some things there but really dont know what I'am doing. If someone can help me to get a ROM installed or go back to factory settings from the phone atleast make it work again would be much appreciated. I think i installed all the drivers because it worked before and it still does respond to flashboot in all-in-one kit. Sorry for being so noob. and thanks for the help.

Could someone please post an idiot proofed set of instructions to do this.
I have the relevent RUU.exe file, but simply running it doesn't work.
I'm assuming I need to replace the boot.img that I flashed with a stock one, but I don't know how to get it out of the .exe file.
My phone is bootloader unlocked, and rooted, and I can get into bootloader or clockwork recovery, but I can't get any new ROM onto the device via USB.
I just want to start again from stock...

To be clear, running the RUU .exe proceeds normally and tells me there's an unknown error and it that it can't update my phone.
Check und my stats. I wrote what I did to solve a similar issue. I just am lazy to search for it myself.

So I tried overwriting cwm with twrp using a few methods i found online. The last one was this link here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764398
I guess i didnt bother to see if it would work on our phone before screwing it up. Well anyway I ran that command and it basically wiped everything on my phone and Sense wont load up anymore.
I can boot into CWM still, and the phone boots up to the lock screen, but when i unlock it, it just goes to either a black screen or a white screen with green HTC written on it, then reboots.
What can i do to fix this? I have a backup saved on an external hard drive at home which i cant get to for another 10 hours -.-
But I tried running the "factory reset" option on CWM and it didnt help at all. Ideas?

U can only flash a Rom in custom recovery. And at this point u might not have the correct custom recovery on the device. Another thing is did u read the full instructions on how to run ruu? I wanna make sure that u don't run into any problems with this process

Is this an appropriate link for information on using the RUU?

Or do i simply connect via fastboot, and then run the exe for our phone?
Also, is this the correct RUU?

Edit: Also, I have twrp 2.4.4.0 running on my phone now.
If you have TWRP working now on your phone, simply sideload an AT&T/TELUS rom of your chaoice and you should be good to go after that. Don't forget to flash the correspondent boot.img. Otherwise, yes this is the RUU you need for your phone. (CINGULAR)

Hmm, sideloading didnt seem to work. I have a file called "venom" on my phone now, but its still doing the same thing, and i cant get ADB to run again (adb devices returns nothing) to copy over boot.img either : /
im gonna try a few more times and then run RUU i guess...
edit: i ran RUU and it ran into an error, saying that the RUU isnt for my phone (even though it is?)
Attempting to run again. Will update with what happens...
edit2: same thing happened. What should i do at this point?
Exact error is:

please get the correct rom update utility and try again
Edit3: ok, this thing is really ****in with me. I was able to get sideload to actually work this time, venom installed and is booting up. Hopefully it makes it to the home screen this time >.<
You have to relock the bootloader and then run the ruu. http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec....55.17_18.20.95.55L_release_290329_signed.exe is the correct ruu for the at&t version. After the ruu is finished then you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Then flash away If you don't relock the bootloader the ruu will fail and not install.

I'm sure that this has been asked before, but is there any ROM which I can flash using only fastboot? ADB is NOT working on my device, and it is bootlooping with no backup or ROM on it. I am not sure if a nandroid backup would be usable with only fastboot, and I know it might not be possible, but I have literally no options available. I cannot push files to my device, of course I have no SD, and AFAIK there is no currently released recovery that would allow me to use my device as a USB mass storage. If one IS released, I would appreciate a link to it, as it would let me save my data. If I can flash a nandroid backup with fastboot, would someone please link me to a copy of said backup? Otherwise, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, L5132

RUU are .exe's. You can't get them as .img files. Make sure your in fastboot not hboot. Your phone should say "fastboot usb" before the RUU will work.

OK- Thanks. I'll give it another try, someone had mentioned somewhere about the "img version" so I figured I'd ask to clear it up.
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.

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).
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
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.

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?

Glad you found the fix. In the future, I would avoid any apps that install recovery. They aren't necessary, and tend to cause more issues than they solve.
And as you have found, as long as you have adb setup (and if you are modding the phone, you should), installing recovery is as simple as putting the file in your fastboot folder and typing a single command.
And while not the issue in the particular case, its sometimes useful to wipe cache before flashing custom recovery. I have seen quite a few instances where flashing recovery fails repeatedly and was easily resolved simply by wiping cache:
fastboot erase cache

Can someone confirm the correct TWRP verison I should be using is for the M8 (GSM)? I flashed an older version of TWRP because it was referenced in an exact AT&T HTC One thread, but wanted to updated to 2.7.1.
Just want to confirm this is it: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225

That's correct. And you're not too lost if you did all that!
Thanks! True, but was used to Odin. The terms here s-off (still not sure what that is) and RUU's (I believe factory images) are new to me.

Every manufacturer has its own idiosyncrasies; and in fact even every device (from the same manufacturer) is often different when rooting. For instance, I used HTC devices for years before getting a Sammy tablet, and had little or no idea what Odin was! So every device is going to have its learning curve (and even more so if switching brands).
S-on/off is an HTC specific flag. S-off means "security off" which is a mode intended for HTC engineers which in theory turns off all protections and safety checks on the device (and the reason its so valuable to modders).
RUU is "ROM Update Utility" which is an program that (as you surmised) installs or restores a complete device image including bootloader, radio, ROM, and other modules. Again, its an HTC specific thing.
You rock! Thanks for the clarification.
