download the latest JB cwm (if you are using JB HBOOT)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(the file downloads must be named recovery.img)

You need (When 1x is connected to PC and "Fastboot USB" is displayed on 1x:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img has to be the correct filename of your recovery, and the file has to be in the same folder where fastboot.exe is.
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache

@Op, as I can see in your post your are still able to use fastboot usb.
Hopefully you still have the correct InsertCoin rom version.zip?
Attached the ADB Tools.zip, extract and place it somewhere you can find on your desktop (C:\Fastboot\ would be fine)
Extract 'InsertCoin rom version.zip' and take boot.img out.
Place the boot.img into C:\Fastboot\boot.img
Download clockworkmodrecovery.img from >> HERE and place it in that folder as well
In the folder I've placed a shortcut to CMD window, klick on it to open.
Now type the following:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img [Enter]
Fastboot flash recovery 'nameofrecovery.img' [Enter]
Fastboot erase cache [Enter]
Hopefully you are now able to come in CWM recovery, good luck!

oh alright. How can i unlock it? and will i lose my data?
Hmm. To have used custom firmware I'm sure you must have done this already.
Anyway. You need to sign up at HTC dev and follow the instructions there. They're quite detailed. After you've done that follow the previous instructions, they were really clear and will work with unlocked boot loader.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
--You don't lose data, but if there's anything super important on your external SD it's always best practice to backup.
(after you've installed CWM recvoery, do a backup using that. VERY important)
---forgot to mention: You need to pick "all other supported models" (The one x isn't listed, but it works fine).
OK Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. Ill post back if something goes wrong and again Thanks
But then how was he able to boot insertcoin when his bootloader is relocked?

Haha I have no idea. I can only assume that it he relocked it after messing around.

It could be relocked after he flashed InsertCoin and the rom would still boot.
Only problem he has then is that he can't get into CWM recovery and that's what he's complaining about I think.

What ROM are you on?
You should flash a repacked version if you are on any rom but Viperx. To fix your bootloop I'll suggest you just look for a repacked version of you're rom, if you can't find one, or there isn't one, I'll do a repack for you. Also you should've typed this in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot to recovery and flashed those modules(it's the kernel file you downloaded).

So you are rooted then, but on stock? If you are, just make a nandroid backup(Rom manager or from cwm). Go look under clockwork on your SD card and browse that zip for a boot.img file. Upload that to dropbox and post the link. I'll do a repack then

So lets see. You are rooted right? Did you unlock your bootloader via htcdev?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
I'm assuming both of the stuff just mentioned is true. Also you will need to download the htc drivers, which can be found with their software here:
dl4.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/htc_sync_setup_3.2.20.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Now if you don't have cwm(clockworkmod) recovery installed here is a link for the file: download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
To flash that file you will need to have the drivers installed as mentioned in above, also you'll need this file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78880032/fastboot.zip
Now extract this file to your main harddrive.
Example C:/fastboot/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you should place the file mentioned at number 2. Also we will work from this folder mostly.
After you installed the htcsync software, and did the steps mentioned above we can go further. Don't forget to answer my two questions at the beginning.

Yes you can flash that rom. I still don't know why you would want a ruu. Just boot to recovery(there is an option once inside hboot) and go to backup and restore. Just choose the backup option and wait for it to finish.

If I understand you correctly, you want to to flash the rom but your PC can't see your sdcard. Is that right?
You can flash from whatever firmware you are on. It doesn't matter. But if my statement above is correct , then I would presume you want to install your drivers.
You should try to set your phone to USB mass storage and see if your PC can still not see it.

OK I understand. So you should flash the latest recovery of the link in the previous page a gave you.
How to flash recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
Where xxx is the name of the recovery.
Boot your phone to hboot and then choose recovery. Then you go to 'mounts and storage' option and right at the bottom should be USB mass storage(of something similar)

expect for this rom I showed here, because I need frimware there
edit:
I've looked for this usb mass storage and I found only mount usb something, presed on it and all I saw was unmount
what to do now?
edit2:
when im trying to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it says "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
is that because my battery is under 30%?
I've tried flashing a recovery.img through fastboot after successfully rooting my phone, but all I can get is a bootscreen hang, note: I can turn on my phone fine, but not the recovery portion of it.
Tried: CWM Recovery through APP and through Terminal.
Info: HTC One V Virgin Mobile, no SIM so PrimoC.
Anything I can do to try to solve this? Would love to flash AOKP or PACman.
Try the TWRP recovery. Works great on mine, and I love the touch screen controls Make sure you place the twrprecovery.img file in your fastboot folder, then flash it in fastboot.

If this has been answered elsewhere I'm sorry but I can't find the answer. I've unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One X. Flashed Clockwork Mod and I can get in to recovery. I then tried to install Cyanogenmod from the SD card and that ran and said it had completed. But, when I reboot it sticks on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and goes no further! Any ideas if there is anything I can do other than go back. If I need to go back, where do I get the RUU? I'm in the UK and it says Hboot 1.38 if that helps on the Fastboot screen.
Spent 3 evenings now trying to root this phone. Not easy

Has anyone ever had these things sorted by a shop? Disappointed with myself for messing up but patience is running out now
Do you know what ruu to use ?
Fastboot getvar version-main
Is the command that will tell which ruu you need !
Otherwise try this :
Unlock the bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash this recovery
http://db.tt/iXT4t3NH rename it to recovery.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount as usb mass storage.

Hi thanks for the reply. I have SD_V_11.1_boot ive not flashed that. Can i flash without renaming it? Would this stop the rom from booting then?
thanks for your reply man.
Hi is the boot.img different to the Hboot?
cheers
First check of your hboot is high enough. Its stated in the bootloader. It must be higher or equal to 1.31 and check if the bootloader says ENDEAVORU !
Then you must flash the boot.img from the rom (its located inside the rom.zip) with fastboot commands, then perform a FULL wipe inside the recovery and install the rom.
Yes, boot.img is different than the hboot.
Boot.img contains the kernel.
Here are the steps to flash boot.img -
1. Extract the boot.img of the ROM to your fastboot folder.
2. Navigate to the folder. Hold Shift and right click. Click "Open command window here".
3. Connect your phone via USB
4. type in cmd - adb reboot-bootloader
5. After the phone is displaying Fastboot USB, type in cmd - fastboot flash boot boot.img

I've unlocked my Three (3) branded M8, installed TWRP and rooted my device (I've also tried out MaximusHD Rom, but decided to restore my original ROM from recovery as I couldn't get some software to load with it).
Three are now pushing out the updates for the M8 and I've tried to install it but it fails. Could someone tell me what I need to do? Back on my One X i needed to re-install stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader. Will I need to do this also?
Only flash the stock recovery if you can get one. Relocking the bootloader is not needed.....

Thanks. I'll try that now. So I am guessing once, I've completed doing that. I can then re-flash the TWRP and I'll probably need to root the phone again. Will let you know how it goes. There is a stock recovery that someone posted previously.
What you said worked perfectly, and funny enough I got the original stock recovery from your Thread. Can I ask how I would go about getting a backup of my current recovery now that I've updated my phone?
I tried what you mentioned in your thread about fastboot boot recovery recovery-name.img (yes i did put the recovery name in) but just got an error stating "cannot load 'recovery'".
Thanks for all your help.
Update: I notice that I can still boot into the system and have root even though I'm on the stock recovery, as if I go into Recovery I end up with the HTC Phone and red triangle. Does this mean there is no real reason for me to re-install TWRP? As all I really cared about was having Root.
What you have now is the stock rom and recovery + root. No reason to flash a custom one if you don't want to flash any mods or themes.
To create a new backup you can put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder and indeed perform the command :
Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
If it can't load the recovery you either typed the wrong recovery name or it's not in the fastboot folder. And the f you have a stock nand to share in my thread would be awesome !

Note that the command is fastboot boot recovery.img
The 'recovery' command will not register. I did it last night
Also, for future reference, I can perform a factory reset with the stock recovery and it will return me to stock even if I have rooted my device? I elected not to install TWRP, but instead just run it temporarily so that I could root leaving my stock recovery intact. Seems like a pretty straightforward answer which is 'yes' but just want to clarify. I have the stock ROM installed (AT&T)
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Yes that's what i wrote right ?
Can you elaborate more on the not registered part ?
And yes factory reset will set it back to stock. Not sure if it will delete root. But all accounts and data will be gone !

You wrote: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img (You do not need to specify the 'recovery' before 'recovery.img')
And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

No problem I meant no disrespect! I was actually surprised you don't need to specify the partition for a temporary image....From my research it looks like they have may have changed that fastboot command from Android 4.3

Mr Hofs, in my scenario where I have returned to stock recovery, installed the update from three. How would I go about backing up my current recovery? I've tried what you have done in your thread but there is no recovery file in the back up.

Yeah that's a strange thing. The backup from fisha21 didn't have a recovery either yet the ones made by guywithdesire1992 did have ?! I'm confused about that ! Can you check certain options in twrp maybe ?
Okay, will make a back up over to my computer and then try again. Will report back.

If it doesn't work you can also try philz touch, see if there is a difference ?

Yep did it with Philz touch and it now includes a recovery.img although it's filesize is 21MB compared to the regular ones. But now at least I have a backup of the recovery. Will upload to a location and post on your thread soon.
Thats awesome ! Really appreciate it
So to be clear, you booted philz and made a nandroid. So the recovery should be the stock HTC one ?
One way to check is to flash the recovery.img that's in the backup folder and enter it. If it gives a phone icon its stock
