Hi,
So I initially wanted to use an RUU on my device. After figuring out I have a Vodafone UK device, and trying to find an RUU I have not succeeded. The only RUU I could find was a 1.14.106.x but my phone is at 1.17.106.x so I can't use that as it won't downgrade. If anyone knew where to get a newer version that'd be great.
But then I figured maybe I should just flash a pretty much stock ROM and that would do the trick for me. I decided on Revolution 8.0. I went into recovery flashed it and now I am stuck in a boot loop.
I can get into recovery and fastboot, know basic adb and fastboot but really need some help here! I'm all out of ideas, don't know what to do just want to get my phone back up and running again. I know you guys have a huge knowledge with this stuff so hoping you can help me.
Thanks in advance

did you flash the boot.img from the zip before or after installing the ROM?

I tried to flash it with fastboot but it wouldn't work. Kept getting an error.... But then just figured it'd be part of the Rom anyway and I wouldn't need to.

That's why your phone doesn't boot, I would suggest reading the first post where it says "how to flash"

Didn't realise had to flash that separately on one x+. I had a rooted hero and desire and don't remember ever having to do that. Just kept the one x+ rooted on stock though. I shall give that a chance after work and hopefully should fix it up. Thanks

Remember: Only Nexus's can be unlocked via fastboot...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Hit Thanks /Danke/ Merci
Thnx for the soltn bt there's more
Thanks for the solution. But actual problem is that i wanted to flash custom rom that is bricking my phone. Tried gb 2.3 on my froyo but it kept crashing on next immidiate boot. Isn't bootloader denying to flash that rom, is it? That's my reason for unlocking my bootloader.also, is it the locked carrier that prohibiting the rom to operate or my phone that isn't upgradable. I can't figure that out. Plz give me another way to flash custom rom on my rooted phone. Thanx for info!waiting for the solution

The million dollar question is where are you going wrong?
Do you have a custom recovery e.g Clockworkmod for your phone?
If not follow instructions here
Is the ROM specifically for your device?
Try CM 7
Is you bootloader really unlocked?
Try Z4root for the job
Try flashing the new rom via custom recovery and make sure you have this prerequisites. You are a big boy, you know what to do!
PS: If you want to unlock your phone(Locked Carrier) try this
nice work
:cyclops:Yes i'm impressed. nice work with the contact details. sorry it took me so long, i followed your advice and downloaded the cm7. only problem i faced with it that, my recovery flashed a message that the rom was made for m860. i tried to edit that rom in kitchen by using my boot.img. but still no success.can you please suggest what should i be modifying to convert that rom into mine.:good:

recovery problem occurs if flashed recovery doesn't belong to the desired device. find suitable cwm/twrp recovery for the tab and flash it in your device. for latest twrp:- HERE
I am super frustrated right now, because of the fact I rooted my phone a year after I got it and there aren't enough devs supporting this phone anymore.. :crying:
Anywhoo, I have Unlocked my BootLoader and I have set up my custom recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0 since the latest doesn't work for my phone. I have Access with SuperSU going through the pain of updating the binary. Now, my latest problem and only problem that hinders me from using the Roms I desire is, I'm stuck at BootLoop. My phone shows the HTC logo and then reboots.
I super wiped, I did wipe before and after, I tried all methods of wiping, unless wiping isn't the same anymore from the OG EVO days.
The ROMS, I would like to install is Paranoid Android, BeanStalk, CM Nightlies 10.2, & SuperNEXUS.
I have Tested only BeanStalk and SuperNexus and they both do the same exact thing which brings me to bootloop. The great thing about it is, which is kind of strange but i'm very thankful is that, I can still Restore my phone with my back up! =D
So far I have used TWRP, I don't really feel comfy with using Clockwork. Due to previous experiences, It just doesn't give a clean wipe IMO.
YES, I have S-ON.
Do i really need S-OFF to run these Roms? My phone is updated with 3.17, and everything from the last update a week ago, I believe.
I just did everything within the last 24 hrs.
PLEASE HELP ME! =(
Since you are S-ON you need to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel then the rom

Okay, one more question kind sir.
If this works for my phone and I end up running the Beanstalk or which ever ROM.
Do I need to Run another Boot.img to Restore my Rom from Backup?
Or Will it back up on its on, Because its the Stock rom?
Thank you, again.

It's always a good idea to have at least one backup on your sdcard.
No you won't need to flash the boot.img if you restore your backup.
You will only need to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a new rom for the first time

I know I'm going to have to do it myself. Just trying to avoid it. I already relocked once this week to test BabyRacun (which I also requested be updated, btw).
Onandroiding now in prep for full stock mode. I'm hoping someone steps up and I don't have to do it.
well, my first problem is I should have checked to make sure I have root. I'm really not sure at this point. I do have the phone unlocked via HTC. I then downloaded SuperU. I am also running TWRP, and can manage to get there occasionally. I have tried side loading and was successful with a couple of roms but they won't work right. I keep getting the error that the sustem UI has crashed. I'd like to get the originall RUU, flash it somehow, and start all over. Can somebody please help. I'm pretty good at this, and this is the first problem of this sort I have ever had. Thanks - Larry
There is no RUU, can flash a stock nand backup located on the forums thats about as close as your gonna get to an RUU

Are there any nand backups that ate flashable via cwm recovery or just through abd?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
I dont think there is actually,from quick search i did...ill probably post completely stock twrp backup non rooted...and recovery for those who need it
So I saw this lollipop rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716306) and I was waiting for the official one from htc but this had what I wanted. It said I need to have the 4.4.4 firmware but I didnt know how to get it because I couldnt get the ota update on stock for a certain reason and so it flashed the 4.4.4 gpe rom then after that I flashed the 5.0 rom but now I have no wifi and when I reboot its in the bootloop and I dont know what to do now. I would appreciate it if anyone could try and help me. Thank you.
If you just flash a GPe rom it dosent mean you flashed the firmware. I was actually having this same problem so I just flashed the US Dev Sense 4.4.4 firmware and the Lollipop rom worked fine.

Scroll all the way down and look for the 3.28.1540.5 firmware and flash that.

Before I flashed that firmware I wiped my phone and there is nothing on it. Also when I try to boot it it tells me to put in a password and I tried my google one but it didnt work also in twrp it says i have 0mb taken up on my phone. I also tried to adb sideload the rom to re flash it but that didnt work it said on my phone it couldnt put the file on my phone so it tried to put it on my ram. Are you sure that was the right firmware I have an att htc one m8. Also do you know what I can do or known some one that can help. Ive been having so many problems with my phone for two days straight and i havent able to use it.
Donot have to put in a password in recovery,format your data partition

I tried to update my oneplus x to a new version of resurrection remix (the android 7.1 version) by flashing through twrp. Long story short I tried to update the recovery twrp and also update my bootloader but it all went to **** and now my phone is bricked. If I try and boot the phone into either the OS or into recovery I get a boot loop where the oneplus logo appears, the phone vibrates then reboots. I can get into fastboot but when I try and flash either a rom or recovery it tells me I can't because my 'device is not unlocked'. I know my bootloader was unlocked previously but am thinking that by trying to install a new rom it has re-lock or something and I'm not sure if this means my phone is now a paper weight..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: This problem is fixed. However twrp won't flash/boot correctly now..
Follow this to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108
I did basically the same thing you did and flashed a rom that was compatible with the old bootloader only and it "locked" my bootloader which made the recovery and ROM useless. It took me a few hours to get the device to actually be recognized correctly by the computer and program but it worked. You may also need to google since I remember needing to download basically the same program but from a different site.

Thanks for the reply! I think I may have come across this but wasn't sure if I'd get myself into more trouble since my fastboot is working (it says it's for devices who have nothing). Rekcon it's still my best option?

You're welcome! Like I said I was in the same situation. It kept rebooting and when I got into fastboot my heart sank when it said "Device is locked"
So I now have recovery working as well as fastboot (unlocked this time). But I cannot for the life of me get twrp to work correctly. One version out of like 5 I've tried works but won't flash any roms; I read that could be from a bad version.. All others seem to flash from fastboot but when I try to boot I get the dtb not found error. I don't understand why I cant get it to work, this should be the easy part
