Hi guys, I got my One X stuck in a boot loop so figured best method to solve this would be to download and reflash with the RUU however I'm unable to do this as every time I try I get a USB connection error 170. I've got the device in fastboot mode and have tried on several PC's (running win 7 and xp) with the same error produced each time. I tried manually flashing the system.img using fastboot but this also throws an error (FAILED (remote: (00000006))) so I've no idea how to get the device back into a working state. Can anyone help?
Did you do the bootloader unlock before this ?
If yes, you need to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU
- fastboot oem lock
- flash RUU
Make sure you have the right RUU for your phone.

I restored the original recovery image and relocked. Randomly on like the millionth try its working now anyway, I've no idea why as I've changed nothing but atleast it's working again
Boot into your bootloader and then start the ruu

I'm also getting this error. But I'm using a Windows 7 in VirtualBox in Ubuntu Raring.
I'm wondering if VirtualBox has anything to do with the error. Anyway, I thought that it needs to be in Fastboot mode. Not in hboot mode. And RUU simply says to turn on the phone- not fastboot or hboot.
phone was given to me with damaged wifi functionality (listed ERROR instead of ON or OFF) found directions suggesting a rom flash to fix it... well.. things have gone down hill.
now stuck at HTC Whitescreen.

Recovery is CWM 4.0.0.4
last flash is 6.01.605.05_VZW_OTA-full-odex.zip
Flashed system and boot from that file (extracted boot.img).
I tried this, but suspected it wouldn't work as I can't get past the white HTC logo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
Oddly I did end up seeing a BLACK screen HTC emblazoned across it. However after it finished I'm back to the white HTC screen hang.
HBOOT is still .98 so it seems to have had no appreciable effect.

It looks like it was unlocked using HTC Dev. You can't downgrade if you are unlocked already. Re-lock the phone (not sure how to do this, as I never did it this way), and then downgrade and S-Off. That is going to be your best option.

Ahh, need to relock to downgrade? I missed that bit somewhere. Thanks. will try that then run the downgrade path again.
No luck.. Bootloader then shows
***Relocked***
*Security Warning*
Will not proceed past bootloader. So the ADB commands error out with "Error: device not found". I can't get into CWM recovery with a locked bootloader to allow ADB commands to work.
perplexing..
In addition when unlocked, in CWM I cannot mount System. Is that normal?

You might need to try the Taco Root Method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
You can 100% do it. I never did it this way, but there is many others on this site that have been successful with this method.
A little back and forth play with the locked/unlocked status finally got it all working. Had to Unlock, enter CWM, format system, data, cache, , pull a boot.img from a zip file, flash that, reboot back to Fastboot, into recovery, mount system, data, cache, run the ADB section of the commands, reboot again into fastboot, relock (reboots on its own).. stick a RUU onto the microSD and slide that in. fail.. np, try another, and another. Finally found one it took and updated. Unbricked, Wifi is alive.
Downgrade may be possible at this point but probably not really worth it.

Hi,
So I tried flashing a TWRP v2.7.0.2 to a HTC One M8s which on command line said was successful but when opening recovery the phone just powers off and does not load any recovery.
I then, stupidly relocked the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and now have a bootloader saying ***RELOCKED***
I have tried a new unlockcode bin file but it wont matter as the recovery will not load when i select unlock bootloader.
Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader without having the recovery to run?
Please help!!!
Hi,
I had a similiar problem and used 'Squabbi's HTC One M8 Toolkit 2 2.5.0' to Re-flash TWRP twrp-3.2.3-0-m8.
Regards

I'm also having a similar issue when flashing twrp image successfully (bootloader unlocked) recovery loads the HTC white screen until the battery drains! I'm using Linux mint terminal. Could you point me towards squabbis toolkit to reflash? Tia
Hi,
I've been handed a HTC 10 locked to the Three network in the UK which has been tampered with and I'm looking to restore the firmware.
I'm not sure what the previous owner has done but the device boot loops when attempting to boot into Android or Recovery with a red warning message quickly appearing.
The device boots into download mode fine, it states it's relocked and S-ON and fastboot seems to function fine but I'm unable to flash anything to the device due to it being locked and S-ON, unable to get into Anroid I cannot enable OEM Unlock to unlock the device again.
I've been hunting the web for HTC 10 H3G__001 RUU but am not able to to find anything anywhere, the unlocked and european versions always fail due to the CID mismatch.
If anyone can provide the RUU for my particular device or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful, HTC support aren't really proving to be any help in providing such.
Just an RUU zip to be placed on the SD so I can restore from the download menu is all I ask.
Thank You!
