I have an HTC One X. I had a good custom rom installed with 4.4.2. Then I made an error. I tried to go back to a saved image of the original rom. It would not load the
backup. Then I made the error. I selected Factory Reset on the HBOOT screen. Now I can't get back on the phone except in HBOOT or Fastboot. I can get to HBOOT and TWRP but
there is no Restore image.

When I connect the phone to my computer and try to send a file to the phone, I can get a connection with Fastboot but not ADB. To do this I set the Phone to Fastboot and I
used fastboot devices on the computer and got a good connection. Now I would like to use fastboot to send an image to the phone. I have rom.zip files but no image files that
I know of.

Any suggestions on how I can use fastboot to get my phone back to operational?

I just tried two fastboot commands. This was the result.

fastboot -w
erase successful, but not automatically formatting
can't determine partition type
failed (remote: unknown command)
erase successful, but not automatically formatting
can't determine partition type
failed (remote: unknown command)
erasing 'user data'
failed (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time 0.010s

fastboot update romfile.zip
this took a long time and seemed to be doing something. then got this

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: updata has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

When I reboot, I get the HTC screen but it doesn't go any farther.
 
"fastboot boot boot rom.zip" gives error. "fastboot boot rom.zip" appears to work but then I get:

creating boot image...
creating boot image - XXXXXXXX
downloading 'boot.img'...
OK
booting
Failed <remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error>
finished.
 
I have tried a lot of things but none work. It appears my main problem is I can't bet adb to find the device even though fastboot works fine. I used fastboot to getvar all. There were two things that I have heard may be a problem: cidnum: 11111111 and Security: On.

I found RUU files that are supposed to work but they fail. From other threads it appears that my first problem is getting S-Off. Without having access to the phone menus, I haven't been able to do that. I have tried Rumrunner but no luck.
