Root Need help with reflashing

[palmtree5]

Long story short, my device won't boot.

Here's what happened:

I was trying to remove bloatware from my phone using ROM Cleaner because I was to the point where apps wouldn't update because of insufficient space. So I ran the script (the no sense version) and then started having issues with booting (my guess is I removed something critical). So I went to try the RUU (linked in the ATR sticky, it's the one for the latest update for the Boost version) but I'm getting FAILED (remote: 32 header error). The device is S-OFF and unlocked

EDIT: Locked the device and retried the RUU, no joy

Hey Palm, I assume you don't have a backup that you can restore to?

Was this the RUU you downloaded? RUU

Are you sure you got a good download? I would verify the md5 and make sure it matches. If not, try downloading a new copy of the RUU.
The md5 for the file linked above is: 8a21f98e531d20077899f22504267c57

Let's start there.

Also, can you post your bootloader information and run a fastboot getvar all ??

-----Edit-----
Also, if no backup, can you just re-flash your rom? Or flash a rom if you weren't already using a custom rom?

 

[palmtree5]

Yeah, that's the one and the md5 sum matches what you got:

fastboot getvar all

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.21.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.12.50.0516

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-4dc34ae5
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

EDIT: I don't know that there's any actual 4.2.2 ROMs for this

Also, no, I don't have a current backup I can restore to (I think the most recent one I have is from like mid August or earlier)

Also, for reference, a logcat looking specifically for AndroidRuntime:

Try this RUU: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_NV_Boost_2.20_150_release_389346_signed.exe

In case something is just wrong with the other one.

Also, are you running the RUU in fastboot mode? If not try connecting through fastboot USB and see if it makes a difference.

 

[palmtree5]

Commands I'm running in order

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

 

[palmtree5]

Still getting that header error with the link Brian provided. If someone actually has a recent, stock TWRP backup with the latest update already installed, that would be appreciated (I don't really want to use my old backup because it definitely doesn't have the latest update, making more work for me)

 

[Brian706]

Hey palm. Earlier I extracted the zip from the ruu and uploaded to my copy account.

You could try this boot loader flashable version to see if it makes a difference.

Well, did you try the zip from the boot loader? Put that zip on SD card root and reboot into boot loader. Don't rename it though.

Also that cwm backup is jellybean but you'd have to flash cwm first.

I've already restored my TWRP backup from August lol but thanks for trying to help me

 

[Brian706]

It still bugs me not knowing why the ruu wouldn't work. Especially since you're s-off.

Well, at least you're booted!!
