[Q] Need help may have bricked my one X - HTC One X

So I am totally lost. Have exhausted all my knowledge on these issues, but i will take u guys through my process step by step.
Right now my problem is that i am unable to charge my one x in any way. it will only respond to being connected through my pc and obviously that wont charge very well. My phone will boot to the home screen but will go from being 35% charged to 0% and just reboot. what lead up to this was my installing android revolution 1.2.2 along with the interim clockwork mod. Upon reboot is where all the problems began. I accidently forgot to wipe before installing and now this is where im at. Cant boot into recovery. cant load default recovery because battery is too low. nothing except this impossible battery screw up is all i get. and now oncve i unplug my phone from pc, its shuts down after a few moments with no charge. Im at my wits end guys. anyone know what i can do?

These threads may help:

I assume you were on 1.19 software? This happened to a friend yesterday. He ended up fastboot erase cache. Fast boot reboot bootloader. Get into recovery and plug up to ac power. The light comes on for a min. Or so then goes off. When it goes off unplugg it then plug it back in. Keep this up till you have some juice. Then fastboot flash the stock recovery relock bootloader, then get ruu 1.26.707. Run that ruu and it should boot. After that you can flash all the roms you want.

Thanks so much, I will try and let u guys know what is going on. FYI i dont see a fastboot erase cache on my screen so how would i go about doing that?

So i locked my oem back before i could boot stock revocery and stock ruu. anyone know how i would ebable to unlock my oem. ADB doesnt appear to re open it with the unlock command. i get a command error message. And yes the bin file from htc is in the fastboot folder. smh

I cant get a charge and the fastboot wont let me unlock oem or load a new recovery.... what now?

cmon guys, i spent 10 hours trying to fix this yesterday, im close to just chucking this thing into the garbage and going back to my nexus. someone please give a little help. i cant charge the phone so i cant load any stock RUU. fastboot is pretty much useless right now. nothing seems to do anything other than show a list of commands when i try to unlock oem again. im desperate so someone please help

I don't know what to tell you bro. If you locked the bootloader before putting stock recovery back on the phone. An ruu won't work anyway. Have you tried fastbooting a system.IMG and a boot.IMG. to see if it might boot? If you have your bin file from when you first unlocked. Try sending that again to unlock. Hopefully someone will pop in and give you a hand.

what commands should i use to try to get it back to normal? everything is saying my battery is too low, which really thats what is keeping me from doing anything to help the situation. I need to charge but none of the threads i have read with steps for charging have worked

Did you do a backup after brick?
I have a copy of the main files... (data.img, system.img and boot.img).
i Use this commands:
Examples
Manual Nandroid restore
Make a Nandroid backup, and copy the folder off your SD card to your desktop.
cd ~/Desktop/path/to/backup/
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
MORE INFO HERE.
For the battery... try a charger with little more volts or amperes... you can buy some usb chargers on any electronic store.

thanks i will get on it and let u know what happens. Much appreciated! I did not do a backup after brick but before brick i did. I am using the transformer prime charger its a quad core tablet and it reads as having higher volts/amp than all my others.

your one x stills bricked?
No solution?

Need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW TOTAL BRICK thanks anyway

Ok im stuck, gave this phone to my girlfriend when I got my new phone, anyway it started having random reboots and was getting stuck on the splash screen, it was getting more regular so I told her I would put a new rom on, anyway I tried installing the stock 2.2 froyo with root busybox ect, and I got stuck in a boot loop, so I tried doing a full wipe again and by accident after that I let it boot up, which I though it wouldn't but anyway it did, I just got on to the home screen and it rebooted again and was stuck on the splash screen, but now I cant access recovery, I can however get in to the hboot menu, and when selecting the recovery my phone vibrate and sticks at the spalsh screen, and goes no further.
In the past I have changed the splash screen to a photo but was about 5 month ago, dont know if this has somthing to do with the splash screen loop????
To be honest I have lost most knowledge of the desire as I have an LGo2X now, have I just forgetten somthing?????
ANY HELP APPRECIATED
but my phone is pretty much bricked up at the min as I cant do anything with it
I also have S-OFF
Well, the sure-fire way to solve this is to run a RUU and then unrevoked again. Someone else might know of a better way though.

I guess you can still access fastboot? If yes, flash new recovery with it. No need to get back to stock rom and then run unrevoked again, imho.

First be sure you have fastboot USB driver (search XDA if you don't).
Then get the .img file for the recovery of your choice (usually either CWMR or AmonRA)
Then get your phone to fastboot mode, it should change to fastboot USB
Finally, from your PC type the following:
fastboot flash recovery imagefilename.img
where imagefilename.img is the name of the imagefile you selected.
note: it is easiest to have the .img file in the same folder as fastbook.
good luck

Ok first off when I do abd devices it does not show any devices all it says is
LIST OF DEVICES ATTACHED
and thats it, anyway I tried flashing the recovery img it said it was sucessful but when I rebooted and tried to load the recovery it was stuck at the splash screen along with 7 vibrates.
Also I have had the phone on charge all night, I tried to do an ruu throught windows installer but that stoppped me and said the battery is less than 30% so cannot continue, even thought I know the battery is full.
Ok now I have a HUGGGGGEEEE problem hehehe ok I finally got the RUU to run, and it got to about 80% and said error 110 FILE OPEN ERROR, I exited the program and shut down the phone then tried to restart it and NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL wont turn on not even a power light when charging.
Is it BRICKED???
And will I get away with taking it back to the shop as it's still under warranty????
from what I seen it was the Radio V2 that failed the update everthing else said it was OK

Try it will work.. as it seems you have slcd brick....
What you do is.. after creating and inserting goldcard in your desire...
Turn it on by pressing.... Voume Down and power.. and than connect usb cable and Flash
Please make sure something.. your sd card should be 1 single fat32 partition..
To flash ruu your must have installed android usb driver..

[Q] One X Stuck at bootloader

Hi all. I hope some kind person here can help me get to the bottom of this.
I unlocked my bootloader earlier from htcdev. I then installed super user.
I wanted to install Leedroid ROM so downloaded the files and used fasboot to install the version of boot.img that comes with it. Problem is that I forgot to transfer over the rom zip file to the device before doing it so now I'm stuck. I know, I just got distracted. My fault I know. I just feel totally sick at the thought of just having bought a £450 to have broken it less than a week later.
(I have successfully rooted my old desire and a wildfire in the past without bother so I do have experience of rooting....just looking like and feeling like an idiot now!)
I had a nandriod backup done from before flashing boot.img and tried to restore.. It says restore was successful but it got stuck on the HTC splash screen. Some help would be mighty appreciated.
The bootloader is now locked again but I think I still have CWM recovery installed however I can't access it any more. The phone boots directly into the bootloader and doesn't attempt to boot.
I've tried unlocking the bootloader again but now it says the battery is too low. I keep trying to turn the phone off in fastboot to let it charge but it just starts up again? Any Ideas?As I said I can't get it to charge so I can't unlock the boot loader again. I've tried running stock 1.29 RUU but again not enough juice.
Just to confirm: My HBOOT is 0.94.0000; The bootloader is relocked.
Any help would be very appreciated, I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
Try that. download and extract boot.img and then flash the boot.img that should then work. If not try looking for stock roms that are flashable through clock work mod and get hold of that boot.img. hope this helps

Also if you got cwm you can go into it and charge the phone from there

This is just a thought, maybe when the battery dies the phone will switch off on its own, and then u can charge it.

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, I can no longer access CWM. When I go to recovery it shows the "Quietly Brilliant" Screen then goes to fastboot menu, no CWM?
UPDATE: Ok, I have managed to unlock my bootloader again. In another thread mevorach advised running a batch script that displays the voltage and reboots the phone. Id created this script and waited until the phone charged up enough, then I ran the unlock command again.
I now have access to CWM again. Feels like I'm starting to get somewhere.
mevorach said:
Hi
I have a solution for you
make a batch file :
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
put this file in the directory where you have fastboot.exe adb.exe and all other
files , also put the unlock.bin file that you have from htcdev
put your phone to bootfsatusb , and run the batch file , you will see the voltage
off the battry each time it loop , after an hour or two you will have enough power(~3.68mv) to unlock it , then charge it and do what ever you want

That's because of low battery.
have you read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190
which recovery version that you have ? If it is 5.8.3.1, what you can try is:
attach the charger to it's usb.
the phone will boot to bootloader
scroll to power down
it will shut down
don't take out the usb cable/charger from the phone.
if the phone starts again to bootloader
scroll again to power down
(normally it will stay shut down when doing this power down the second time)
let it charge for an hour.
on PC get ready the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and enter
status will show waiting for device
connect your phone and power on
and see whether the "low battery" warning still there.
if successful, unlock the phone (choose yes)
when it reboot - hold power + volume down to force it to bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img for the nandroid backup that you restore earlier
once done reboot the phone.

I tried to restore the boot.img that backed up earlier but it is getting stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen.
I also tried to restore all of the nandroid backup without success.
Any ideas how I can get a working boot.img to flash?
I am currently leaving the phone on the "quietly brilliant" screen (the charge LED is on) to see if I can get enough charge to restore the stock recovery, lock the bootloader and flash the 1.29 europe RUU. Is this a good plan or should I be trying something else?
Based on my experience, when you're not sure which boot.img belongs to which nandroid, a stock boot.img will work.
But if that also fail then the next best thing to do is flash RUU and make sure you have the right official RUU for your phone. Wrong RUU will not work.
Ok, will do. Thanks for the help
I'm trying to leave the phone on charge for a couple of hours, I'll then try flash the boot_signed.img file from the RUU.zip andfailing that I'll try the whole RUU.
Same situation here...

I'm having the exact same problems, and have pretty much done the same steps in my attempts to get the phone back to life. Current status is that it's locked and can't unlock it due to low battery, but that .bat file seems to be helping - battery voltage is going up, so eventually I should be able to do something.
My plan however is to try RUU (tried everything else already, when I had battery and the phone was unlocked and had clockworkmod).
Anyway please keep this thread up to date with your progress.
If you broke your phone in the first week...well, I opened the box of mine 15 minutes before bricking it, hadn't even installed the SIM card (I bought it from an amazon seller and he sent me the Asian version, Thai keyboard and all - that's what started all this).
Ok... so I flashed the boot_signed.img file from the official 1.29 ruu. The phone then rebooted and again froze on the "quietly brilliant" screen. I then locked the bootloader again and rebooted. This time it booted fine
Once booted I left it to charge fully, I then was able to run the 1.29 RUU for my phone.
Next step I unlocked the bootloader again and flashed CWM 5.8.3.1. Performed a nandroid backup and flashed the super user zip file.
It is fully functioning up to this point now.
My next step is to follow ALL the steps (this time lol) to get leedroid one xtreme v5 rom installed again.
I'm getting the phone back to 100% charge before doing the next steps, just incase I need to undo anything I REALLY don't want to run into the low battery issue again.

As the earlier quote regadring the bat file, you will have enough power(~3.68mv) to unlock it. Once it gets to ~3.689mV you will be able to unlock the phone.
Did you have it unlocked at one point? If so you can use the same unlock file HTC sent you to unlock again.
Once you have it unlocked run the bat script again until the power is around the same level again, then flash cwm 5.8.3.1 through fastboot.
Once you have this you can turn the phone off and plug it into your charger. I had mine plugged in for over an hour. The charge was then enough to flash the boot_signed.img file from the RUU for my phone, and as I said it booted fine.
Hope this all helps, I know exactly how you feel.
My killer mistake was forgetting to transfer the leedroid rom zip to the phone and I wrongly assumed CWM could mount the internal storage as USB to transfer the rom to the phone; like earlier versions.

Where did you get that file? Digging into %TEMP% or is there an official repository or something?
Why not install the full RUU, by the way, to start over?
Anyway your post gives me hope I'm currently letting the .bat file run - but the plan was to do RUU if at all possible, rather than unlock, add clockworkmod, etc...
I couldn't get it to charge much higher than was required to unlock etc.. so I needed to get CWM installed to get it to charge properly.
Also, I couldnt get the boot_signed.img to flash I assume cause the bootloader is locked.
I got the boot_signed.img by opening the RUU installer but not clicking next just having it open.
Then I got the temp folder on my pc and searched in it for zip files. Only 2 appeared. The rom was called "rom.zip"
I then copied this to my desktop and opened the zip. Then I was able to extract the boot_signed.img file to the fastboot folder on my pc and got it flashed across.
I think you're probably gonna have to unlock the bootloader to fix your problem.

I got some help in IRC on the charge front. Indeed powering off the phone from the FASTBOOT menu *without* having a cable plugged in (otherwise the damn thing won't stay off) puts it in a chargeable state. What I did was plug it in the wall charger for a bit. Then they suggested that when the phone is off you can plug it to the PC and get battery status with adb, which I did - like this:
adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
Charging
adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
30
[plugged again to wall charger for a while]
adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
42
So it's looking good. I'll let it charge for a while and once it's done, relock (I just installed cwm again), and try RUU.

OK, I just did and saved the file somewhere in case it's needed.
We'll see
for the RUU to run successfully you need to flash the stock recovery (to get rid of CWM) and lock the bootloader AFTER you've flashed the boot_signed.img file. This is to get the RUU to run on an unmodified phone.
Once you get that run you can re unlock, flash CWM and super user binaries if you want.
After this experience, I'll be checking and double checking the steps provided in future. What an ass I am!!! ha just goes to prove just cause I was successful on my old htc desire and the gf's wildfire it's no guarantee I know what I'm doing
Also, I've now successfully installed Leedroid One Xtremem V5.1. Just after restoring my apps using titanium backup.
Let me know how you get on
EDIT: I think the reason I had to flash the boot_signed.img file is because I flashed the leedroid boot.img then realised my mistake of not having the rom to flash and to compound the issue relocked the bootloader and the low battery. You might be able to get away with charging and running your RUU. If that fails I would restore stock recovery, lock the bootloader and retry the RUU

Nope It just needs to be locked, but it was happy to run with cwm installed.
So I got it to work (back to square one, because I still need to change the ROM). I actually did more stuff than needed (because I was trying two approaches as the same time), but in summary:
- That glorious 5 line .bat file works, and allows the battery to charge, so reach a state where you can at least lock/unlock and flash. For me the battery changes from 'low charge' to 'good' at 3615mV.
- You can also turn the phone off from the service menu, but you have to be sure no cable is plugged, or it will turn itself back on in a couple seconds.
- The battery charges if the phone is off, using a wall charger.
- With the phone off, you can still plug in on a PC and find battery status (whether it's charging or not) and current charge (in %) with adb (another command line tool, like fastboot).
- With 30% or more of load, you can run RUU and get the phone back to factory state.
- You can't use a RUU for a different model, if your model is from Asia you need the Asian RUU, you can't just install a European one. You don't like a Vietnamise keyboard? Tough ****.
Anyway, since I know have all the tools and more confidence I'll just go ahead and try again. Starting will a full charge of course
Awesome!! I'm glad you got it to work, and I hope this thread serves as some help for others.
The damn battery charge issue had me worried. That bat file is really a lifesaver!
Thanks for all the info. Hope not to need it but mistakes can be made.

[Q] Please Help! My HTC is encountering serious problems!

Ok so here's what i did.
I rooted the phone, installed the CWM Recovery and everything.
Next I installed the Android Revolution HD Rom 7.1.0 by doing the "Super Wipe".
It got into boot loops
Then after factory resetting and every other things I could do I tried to do the new RUU on my O2 HTC One X Unlocked.
For that you have to Re-Lock it (which I did)
And I cant go into any of the Fastboot settings etc too because its battery level is very low.
Please someone help me. I just bought this phone

unlock the phone again. flash the latest recovery. then go into fastboot. fastboot erase cache , then flash the kernel, go into recovery flash superwipe, flash rom and reboot and job done..
before you do all that though backup your current rom
I cannot go into the fastboot and do the stuff because it prompts me that I have less battery. There's another problem that the phone doesn't shut off. When it gets out of juice then it turns black, the notification light blinks then when its charging, it loads the Bootloader. It simply just doesn't turn off and that leads to the problem that it uses up the battery much more than the required :/
I've tried powering down from the menu but no use

man i am sorry then i wish i had more knowledge to give you help. hopefully someone else with more experience and knowledge can come and advise you different. just never had that issue you see.
if you say you can not go into bootloader or recovery then it does not sound right...maybe take it back to retailer or something might be the best option if no one can help out
have you tried the power button with the volume button down for ten seconds to see if the phone reboots?
Can anyone tell me the solution to this "keep turning on" habit. If that's resolved there's nothing to it then. Please help me out here :'(

OK so I managed to get the phone UNLOCKED (Finally)
Now when I flash the 5.8.4.0 recovery it says
"unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-end
eavoru.img'"
So i booted the phone into the recovery mode instead of flashing.
I am finally getting somewhere but how do i know it's charging there? I don't see the red LED turn ON :/
LATEST UPDATE:
So when I unlocked the bootloader again. Apparently that solved the "not turning off" habit of the phone.
I went into the bootloader and Power Down my phone, Now it's on charge (waiting for it to turn green)
And I have the O2 branded HTC One X. I also updated it to the 1.29.206.XX something.. I don't remember :/
And I only see one RUU for the O2 branded Phone and that is like 1.26.XXX.XX thing... Will that cause problems since I upgraded the firmware??

Why is it so hard for guys to flash roms. Man its getting old seeing 50,000 of the same threads over and over.
Ok on to helping
You have latest recovery. So boot to fastboot & flash the roms boot.IMG ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) now unplug the phone, press the power button. Now your back in hboot select recovery,once there click mounts & storage button , mount USB drive. Now copy the Rom to your phone. Unmount USB drive, now flash super wipe script. BUT DON'T REBOOT AFTER YOU FLASH THIS!!!!!! choose option to select another zip to flash. This time flash your Rom & reboot. Now your done. Simple huh. & to answer your ruu ?, you can't downgrade ruu's if your on 1.29, your stuck with it till a newer one comes out.

Woah! That's spot on... I was surely gonna mess up my phone if i had done the RUU.
Its charging while the screen is off as we speak. But I think there is a problem with the charge thingy.
Its off and charging.. but sooner or later it turns off due to low battery (IM SUCH A NOOB I DNT KNW IF THE LOW BATTERY IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM)
I'll wait for it to charge again though and connect to the PC again
In the meanwhile can u answer me something regarding this
1. Does the red light turns on while charging in CWM 5.8.4.0
2. Does the mount USB Drive works? :'( Cuz when the phone was working fine. The mount USB Drive failed and gave an error of having a "lunfile missing" :/
Both of your questions can be found :

Please - explain with details what you did- you only relock the bootloader, or change it with original one, or else.
Try creating a batch file using :
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Leave that running for a bit.
im just relock the bootloader but it have custom rom with custom recovery but i cant access to them...i creat this batch and it goes from 3000mv to 3240 then it goes down to 3210.. i dont know how charge it
it just stuck on bootloader i cant do anything
If your battery is above 10% you can still flash via fastboot.
Assuming you relocked because you want to return to stock, Do the following:
Unlock bootloader again (battery must be above 10% to fastboot flash)
Flash CWM Recovery.
Flash boot.img of custom ROM
Flash custom ROM.
Charge phone to 100%.
Relock bootloader.
Run RUU.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to leave the script posted above running overnight with the phone connected and try again in the morning.
i use the script but sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down..how many hours i need to let the battery 3680mv?
the script cant charge more than 3586 what i can do?
Gan you get into Fastboot now?

Go into hboot and select the option to power device off.? This way it keeps charging and device stays off. It only goes on if you replug the cable.

Other option that work but u should sweat is... Start the pbone, once u get stuck re start again, this gives the phone little amount of charge, but while u r doing this, should try to flash recovery cwm. It s a long trip bro. But it works, i helped three friends wirh this method.
But u know, xmoo rocks

I had a similar situation, but choosing power off caused it to reboot all the time for some reason.
how many minutes i need to charge it?
i use the script charge.bat..but when it come to 3583v it goes down why?
i dont know how to power off and restart it again?
i think my phone is dead no way to fix it
Just follow my instructions on page 1. If you can get into fastboot to flash a proper recovery you're fine!
Unlock bootloader again (battery must be above 10% to fastboot flash)
Flash CWM Recovery.
Flash boot.img of custom ROM
Flash custom ROM.
Charge phone to 100%.
Relock bootloader.
Run RUU.

You seem to be in a panic about this, and not prepared to follow instructions.

[Q] Sorry to be a pain

I was trying to root my htc ONE x as I wanted to run an app that needed a rooted phone. I managed to unlock the bootloader using the One x all in one kit and then went on to the rooting. I followed a guide found here: knowyourmobile.com/htc/htc-one/17426/how-root-your-htc-one-x to the letter.
At the end it said it would reboot twice then once again so I waited patiently. 13 reboots later and it was still going so I disconnected it from the USB (the cmd window closed after 2nd reboot) It is now stuck in a reboot loop and I cannot get it out. I can get to the fastboot menu using the down volume and power but have no idea what to do from there. Tried flashing a stock firmware in this mode but it says my battery is below 30% and I can't get it to charge as its constantly rebooting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...sorry again to be a pain. I have read and read and I am getting more and more confused

Rule number 1 when reading a guide: always make sure to read the comments of the users too, before following the guide.
On the link you provided, there are a lot of people saying the ADB file is out of date and it bricked their phones.
I remember seeing an old post about charging your phone while in fastboot mode. After some searching, I found it:
Mr Hofs said:
Oke new thing to do.
Put this file in the fastboot folder
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aaah8gqz8j024xz/Batt script.bat
Leave the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode and execute the .bat file with admin rights.
Select the .bat file with the right mouse button and select
Run as administrator
It will restart the bootloader continuously and charge it little by little. Leave it going until it reaches around 3800 mV
Then flash the recovery and enter it !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't confirm this since I've never tried it. Mr. Hofs has to confirm if this method still works but if you still have some battery left, it's worth a try I guess.
If your battery is charged enough, flash a custom recovery and enter it. Then, from the options choose "power off" and wait until someone more knowledgeable than me can help you.
Classic 20, IT WORKED! Thanks man you rule!

No problem at all. Glad to have been able to help you!
Also, did you manage to finally boot the phone or do you still get stuck at the logo?
I installed a stock RUU in fastboot and heaved a sigh of relief
