Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?
Did you flash the boot.img using fastboot?

When I choose RECOVERY, it displays the HTC logo while a status bar fills up, then it goes back to HBoot.

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

Okay, I'll have another crack at it, then. Thanks very much, esloan. I really appreciate your help.
Well, I haven't managed to get anywhere. I've tried flashing a couple of different ROMs, but I couldn't get them to boot. When I boot into recovery, I get a bunch of "Can't mount" notifications. Is that bad?
Did you start with clockworkmod?
If so...
Boot to recovery...
Mount via USB(in the mount menu)
Hook to windows...
Let windows format it...
Try again

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.
try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One
I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.
mike1986. said:
1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

The only time bootloader is going to Sig check a recovery partition is if he is relocked. He said he used the ruu a couple times so he is still relocked.

Yes, from HHZ12f to HHZ12h.
I Tried to flash 5.1.1 without wipe (-w )
however I had the error "failed to allocate 1046266608 bytes".
So after flashing bootloader and radio,
I had to extract all .img and flash them one by one :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot
everything is working now ... I hope the damn memory leak bug is fixed.
Any new appearance or features?

Same x bytes error for me on both a Win 8 PC and a Win 7 PC, Chrome open/closed doesn't matter. I finally flashed on a Linux machine. Took awhile to figure out Terminal, because this is the first time I've used Linux, but eventually got it right (I like a learning challenge). No problems with a Linux flash.

When I try to flash using TWRP i get ERROR 1. From recovery log:

and when i try adb (not only flash but other commands like fastboot oem device-info aswell)

When I created this topic all I had to do to fix this problem was unlocking bootloader again.
But few days ago this problem occured again and unlocking bootloader doesn't help.
It's a bug. REINSTALL default firmware it 3 buttons, let it turn on. Unlock boot again and flash twrp. If that does not work either your phone is damaged or you did something wrong in the middle.
Everytime i try to flash something on fastboot i get stuck at this:
Sending 'boot.img' (33304 KB)
Tried everything on the internet but still no solution...
I'm trying to flash the twrp so i can remove the bootloader unlocked boot screen

This is usually resolved by trying it on another computer. If I recall correctly, I think it is because of older hardware on a PC, though not sure.

Actually you are doing it wrong. The Moto X4 doesn't have recovery partition anymore. It is A/B.
Instead of flash do boot boot.img
Then flash the twrp installer from the official site.
This will make twrp permanent.
Make sure you have unlocked your bootloader. Also i recommend installing the latest twrp from twrp site as the decrypting bug is not present any longer.
