Ok, yesterday I download the 4.2.2 update from HTC website, then proceeded to update by following the steps in the same web, everything was ok normal, finish updating and restart the phone, then when the phone turn on I noticed three situations the phone will not update and continues with 4.1.1 JB, the other is the wifi does not connect fails and the last the partition of the internal memory does not appear!!!!

OK, are you sure you charged your phone? The RUU needs at least 30% battery. Also, select fastboot before you run the RUU.
After you click next, it should say that the RUU has recognized your device and it will run on its own.

yes of course my friend the phone had 90% the charge but you say the update shuold be in mode bootloader?

RUU appears to work, but stuck on bootscreen logo
I also installed the OTA update, which did eventually get to 4.2.2, but after a few days went into bootloop. I applied the RUU with no luck. It appears to work, but then reboots to the htc screen and hangs.
I've also unlocked, installed custom recoveries. TWRP or CWM no touch for the HTC One X+ At&t. both report errors of unable to mount /anything. TWRP refuses to sideload or install a ROM after adb push (which I can get to work sometimes). CWM will install from sideload, but ROM install (Elegancia 6.2) stops at 13.07% and hangs.
I have tried all of the steps from multiple posts in these forums and what works for others seems never to work for my phone. What could the problem be? Permanently unable to see the partitions? Something corrupt in hboot 1.73? Since I can't access the phone to change the USB debugging setting (not sure if it was checked or not) and I can't change the fastboot mode in settings (last set to fastboot enabled), perhaps trying a factory reset caused the problem (one thread mentioned factory reset won't work if the settings say fastboot within the phone).
No clue, so any insight would be helpful. At this point, after weeks of trying to fix this phone, I'm nearly ready to give up. I'm stubborn, but now I suspect there's an unsolvable problem that I just don't have the expertise to see.

Thanks, but I had no success with that procedure (see my post on page 46 of that thread).
Everything went smoothly, but still stuck at HTC logo.

Do you have the boot.img file of your previous software? I mean of 4.1.1 ??
If yes then you should flash that boot.img. then it should work

Thanks, attempting to do this, but I'm unable to unzip the stock roms in the 1.19 or 1.15 RUU to get that boot.img. I can unzip the 2.15 RUU rom just fine. Not sure what the problem is. I tried just running the earlier RUUs in the past, but they failed because it was the "wrong version" for my phone. Now I wonder if those failures were due to an invalid rom zip. Got these RUUs from AndroidRUU.
**edit: I cannot extract the roms (7z) for the earlier RUUs, only for 2.15. So I do not have access to the boot.img of the previous 4.1.1. Running the RUUs results in an "image error".

[Q] [q] how do I unbrick an amaze that wont go into recovery?

Backstory: I tried flashing android revolution for the amaze once, and it didn't work (error 1) left it alone for a bit after recovering it, went back to bulletproof and flashed faux .009 kernel, then decided to try again...
Well I'll try to make this brief, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong subforum but here goes, I tried going from bulletproof 2.5.0 to Android Revolution HD and didn't flash the superwipe .zip (lazy me). The install failed with the same error 1, only this time I can't boot back into recovery. Booting to bootloader works but when I tried going into recovery I see it pop up for maybe a fraction of a second before the phone reboots.
I've tried reflashing clockwork mod but no dice
any sort of tips you folks can give me to steer me in the right direction?

Not sure about the Amaze tbh, but if I had a failed flash on either of my HTC phones, I just re RUU'd.

You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.

Same with you. You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.
Superwiping the phone removes all the data from the old ROM so you can install a fresh clean ROM.
If you want to install the RUU, you have to relock the bootloader first and then you can reflash the original RUU

To flash an official RUU, you must relock it. I've done so plenty of times lol
Sent From My HTC Amaze 4G via Someone's Room
If the phone wont go into recovery, you have to use ADB and wipe the cache partition for it to go into recovery again. This is apparently a bug with some of recoveries posted by other devs in the development forum. You need to use fastboot.exe to wipe the cache via adb
And if... If the superwipe doesn't work due to recovery version you have try to boot in to your Bootloader run one of hasoon's tool and choose different recovery.. it did happen to me the bootloop before due to the fact the old roms like mike's rom. he doesn't update his script to support the newer recoveries and it doesn't support X's recovery, it will give you an error installation.. just try different recoveries and for sure your problem will be solved..
just make sure boot in your bootloader/H-boot then run hasoon's tool and have enough battery just to make sure...

Thanks for the good info Sir but i my HTC Amaze is bootloader locked and S-ON but i cannot find a RUU for T-mobile to unbrick it. Will a Ruu such as this one work?
RUU_Ruby_Videotron_CA_1.46.1530.1_R2_Radio_1.09.550L.17DC_30.68.550L.09_release_227343_signed.exe
My HTC Amaze scans all the versions of the PH85IMG i place on the sd card but goes back to the menu when its down
any advice that could help i will appreciate!
There's a thread in the dev section that has about a dozen RUUs. I don't see how one can miss it.
Thanks for your reply but i was a little unsure and did not want to make my phone any worst than it already is.
Can you explain 1 thing thing for me please - RUU always you to flash the phone via the computer? where as PH85img.zip allows you to flash the phone via sdcard? I hope i am correct here.
but i want to know how can i flash the phone when its connected via HBoot usb cause my pc recognizes it as "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Currently this is what is on my lcd
LOCKED

i have tried several PH85img.zip files but the phone just scans them and goes back to the menu.
Some help will be appreciated extremely.

The latest ruu would be your best option, do not put the .zip part of the name since its already there, also a ruu may be an exe or zip file, since it is a complete stock file to restore the device, what would your carrier be to be exact? Just not up to reading through everything in this thread to see if you mentioned that piece of info, if its tmobile then the very first file in the stock ruu/ota thread would be the file you need.

thanks for your advice i managed to reboot the phone into recovery but heres whats strange to me the phone is in recovery with HTC on the screen thats it, the pc has recognized it as "MY HTC" in the device manager however, when i run the command adb devices this is what i get "SH218vp00163 offline". i ran the RUU file but i get error 170 usb connection.

Why are you using recovery exactly?
RUU's are to be flash via hboot, which is the very first screen you see when you go into the device's bootloader, in the case of exe files, you'll need to flash it via fastboot mode, which happens to be, correct me if I'm wrong, the very first or second option on the hboot menu.
yes you are correct cause i just tried it with an RUU from another carrier. i found out that the phone had 2.14.531 software installed. but the RUU i was using was 1.46 and so i got a signature error 132. now i need to find a way to remove the 2.14.531 software and replace it with a lower version. can you help me here

[Q] Rezound Stuck At Lock Screen

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

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?
Do u have the at&t x+ or the international x+?

I haave the at&t x+.
I also used the correct boot image when i used the command i noted, but obv i didnt do any research to see if the command was usable for this phone. Any idea what i could do? Just re-flash another image or something?
Ok so u need to grab the At&t ruu file and ruu the device

downloading RUU now
in the mean time, can i just flash a rom using fastboot, or do i have to run the RUU first?
i ask because i already have the viper rom downloaded & the RUU is going to take ages to download on my schools network -.-

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
Or do i simply connect via fastboot, and then run the exe for our phone?
Also, is this the correct RUU?
http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec....55.17_18.20.95.55L_release_290329_signed.exe
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:
Error [155] unknown error
rom update utility cannot update your android phone
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.

Bootlooping, need stock image

My LTE took a dump the other day. Started overheating like crazy, despite no changes.
Was running cynagenmod 10.2 and it was working well. S-Off HBOOT 2.09.4444, Radio 1.12.11.1119
Then these overheats kept going all day until I turned it off. Then started bootlooping, would fully launch one out of 10 times.
So I wiped using TWRP and gave that a try, no luck, still overheating and bootlooping.
So I wiped and restored a TWRP backup, nothing... the stock rom is bootlooping even harder than before and never fully launches now.
It got to the point TWRP wouldn't launch until I had to put a fresh version on the SD card.
Tried to install the newest stable CM10.2 image and as before locking up at boot splash screen of the rom after HTC "quietly brilliant" and looping.
So now I am stuck, downloaded the stock RUU from HTC website, however the devices needs to be recognized to use their exe.
Is there an image I can throw on the SD card and use TWRP to try a flash from that? Any other recommendations?
TIA.

What are you trying to achieve? Do you need an alternative RUU flash or find a new ROM so you won't get bootloops and heating?
I suggest going on CM11 or resort to Meanbean for stock sense 4.
If you're running a RUU I suggest using this method here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50523371
But before that please read the first 4 posts of this thread (especially Q&A) to get you updated on what's going on with the newest RUU.

I am trying to get this phone into any working order if I can. I have reason to believe the hardware has been affected by the overheating. I need to get it to fully launch before I can declare that, so anything to stop it from bootlooping is what I am trying to achieve. Occasionally, when it would fully launch, I noticed none of the radios worked, no mobile data, no WiFi and no Bluetooth which were previously functioning fine.
The links are down to the two files needed in the first post you're referencing.
I believe my partitions are out of whack and need to be fixed. Everything I am seeing to repair partitions is while the phone can boot, can someone point me to some info that shows how to fix partitions while only recovery is achievable? Maybe I am going about this wrong, search not returning the results needed.
TIA
You can RUU from the bootloader, without having to be booted to the OS. I can confirm this works on both the 3.17 RUU and the latest 4.13 RUU, which I have both used. Make sure you have HTC Sync involved and use a Windows 7 machine and you shouldn't have any issues.

You're saying you were able to get it recognized during Bootloader USB? The RUU will not recognize the device for me this way.
Yep, worked just fine connected via Fastboot USB mode.

Hmm, tried this on Win8, I'll give 7 a shot, thanks for the heads up!
How do I ensure my partitions are in proper order? Often when in TWRP and trying to run common commands, I get SD card unmountable and noticed what seems like multiple SD card nomenclature.

[Q] [Need Help] HTC One Max won't boot but can use USB then restarts

Ok I am having a weird issue with my phone now which seems to be totally different than all stories people have posted.
All people that have posted similar problems can't boot the phone and it gets stuck at the HTC screen when booting and they mentioned they can't use USB and some can't even charge the phone.
But for my case, after the HTC screen the mobile loads in the lock mode, showing only the clock and at the top left where the notifications are it is showing a warning mark but I can't read it cause phone is locked of course.
The USB connection works and luckily the USB debugging is enabled so I can have access to the phone through USB, but the problem is that I am stuck there, when I try to unlock the phone by pulling the window up, the HTC green loading screen comes instead and then it gets stuck there. but still the USB connection is working fine.
But after a short time which is 1 or 2 minutes, the phone restarts itself and then boots up again and does the same thing into an infinite loop until I shut it down.
I have the phone saying on boot loader Tampered, Unlocked but sadly its showing S-On
I have tried all the ways to make it S-OFF to try and lock the bootloader and remove the tamper so maybe it would help booting but I Can't get it to S-OFF.
The reasons are that my Hboot version is 2.46 and the android version is 4.3 so the only 2 working S-OFF programs for my versions are rumrunner and firewater.
For firewater I can't use it as it requires internet connection, but as I statted I Can't access the phone at all and it doesn't connect to wifi or even my SIM.
Rumrunner I have tried it, but the problem is when rumrunner gets to the "test 2" phase it takes long and the phone restarts itself before it manages to finish resulting in a CCCC error and ending the rumrunner program.
I remember what created the problem, I was trying to fix the fingerprint sensor and I RELOCKED the booter with oem through htcdev to see if it would help, after that when I went in bootloader it showed TAMPERED, RELOCKED and SECURITY WARNING, I got really scared so I unlocked the phone again with the unlock bin and it went back to normal and the security warning was gone, but from there the problem started.
I have tried wiping the cahce and all data and doing factory reset then I tried installing new ROMs but it didn't work for some reason.
I downloaded the kitkat rom and the jelly bean 4.2.2 ROM and tried both of them, it installs fine and everything is ok but the problem doesn't go and what is more weird is that even tho I installed the Jelly bean 4.2.2 ROM thorugh the Recovery screen, the adb still shows that my android version is 4.3 so I still can't use programs like revone or moonshine.
Please help me repair my phone
Does anyone know what can be wrong or what can I do?
I find it weird that even when installing ROMS this problem still occurs as if I never formatted the phone or installed a new ROM.
And still says Android 4.3 regards of what I do.

try booting into bootloader then flash the boot.img from there. it sounds as if your boot.img is not flashing from recovery.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
is the command to flash the boot loader from fastboot usb.

I did that and now it gets stuck at HTC without opening the phone at all and can't connect USB to it when its on anymore and now restarts the phone after it gets stuck at HTC after 20 seconds or something.
Now boot to recovery and flash the rom again.

Ok untill you actually get this booting correctly, stop just trying different roms. You are S-ON this means you will need to boot to bootloader flash the boot.img first then reboot to recovery and flash the rom that came with the boot.img. you should be doing this with a stock rom and boot.img for you specific device to make sure it works correctly.
If this does not work for you , you will need to run the RUU for you specific carrier. You will need to relock your phone in order to do the ruu
If you are just mix matching your **** it will never work correctly.

Ok I have a quick question.
After the download is finished, how will I copy the ZIP file to my phone since it doesn't boot anymore.
Can I do that from the bootloader with fastboot? or do I need to get SD card and a reader to copy the data to it then put it on the phone?

You need TWRP recovery to install the ROM and i hope you have it already. If not download TWRP and flash it.
In TWRP you have the option to mount your SD card and that should make your phone available as USB on your computer.

You may want to flash the stock sense 6 ROM which is available @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776665

Ok I don't know what actually happened but here is how it is.
I had Clockwork mod recovery so I flashed the TWRP you told me from this forums and right after I did and tried to go into recovery, the phone turned OFF and wouldn't get on again, also it showed me a battery with question mark on it so I thought maybe battery went out and it won't charge, after few minutes I found it showing HTC logo screen then it went off and wouldn't boot or open bootloader again.
I tried to press Volume up + power and all of a sudden it booted into the last ROM I installed which was CM 10.1 Nightflies I think and now the phone is working again some how
Ok it turned out to be that the Question mark screen is just the back ground of the TWRP recovery and it needed time to load thats all cause I managed to get into recovery now.
But the weird thing is that installing the TWRP recovery ONLY I didn't install or flash anything else, fixed the phone and its working fine now.
Now its working super fine.
I managed to make it S-OFF with firewater (rumrunner didn't work for me) and I locked it and removed the Tampered flag.
Now the phone is working great and finger print sensor is working again.
Thanks everyone for the help

Also since I installed the CM 10.1 and it had a google app package with it, it seems the google app package wasn't installed successfully when the phone was still broken.
Do you know any good ROM I should install that will come with the google app package? or anyway to get the original ROM or RUU I don't know
I mean the original OS
