Hi there,
I have recently bricked my HOX by trying to install the latest BinDroid ROM.
I did root the device properly and I dont know what went wrong during the ROM installation.
Short story; the device stuck on bootloop and now runs out of juice. Is there any way to get it back to work or I just have to send it to HTC for repair.
What exactly did you do and when did it fail.

If you have flashed the most recent recovery you can charge in recovery, I would suggest plugging in.
Turn on by holding power + volume down
If you get the white hoot screen go into recovery and leave it to charge.
Your rom is probably bootlooping because you didn't manually flash the boot.IMG that came with the Rom in fastboot

The problem is, I already relocked my HOX to install stock RUU, but the power is less than 30%.
Ok. I have done this in the past.
Plug phone in to wall
Power on.
Choose power off.
Phone will reboot
Repeat process many times.
While the phone is rebooting it is actually charging for a few second
You may have to do this quite a while to get above 30 %
Once there unlock and boot into recovery so you can charge to full
Learn the lesson and don't play with low battery

Thanks, will try to do that..
I'm in recovery now, using 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'...
Should be fine right?:good:
Yes. That version will allow you to charge.
Then its just getting a Rom working
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Hey I know you've already got it to charge but for other people's information according to the wiki and further to the other users comment you could leave the screen on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and it would still continue to charge although it doesn't appear to be. It really is.
Dno if you've fixed it but now you need to try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot.
I hope to god you've got one of those on the root of your phone storage, otherwise your last resort is a ruu :thumbup:

Once in recovery should I charge it on the computer or on the wall plug?

I did tried to charged on the 'HTC quietly brilliant screen' before but it takes a lot of time since the phone keeps on to restart, just wanna see iv charging on recovery is better.
and forgive me I'm a noob but what do you mean by 'try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot'

It's okay, everyone starts somewhere and i don't pretend to be a professional but i'll try help. And yeah the HTC quiterly brilliant screen was just incase you didn't have enough charge to enter fastboot
Basically a nandroid back up is a back up file created by a custom recovery (e.g. Clockwordmod), this backs up EVERYTHING, your whole system and rom (it's important to do these before flashing custom roms, incase anything goes wrong). But anyway, i doubt you've done that so moving on.
Basically our HTC one x's cannot be S-off at the moment, so because of this we only have access to certain parts of the system and boot files.
You need to find the rom you put on your HTC One X and put it on your computer (or download it from somewhere). Unzip it and find the boot.img. This process is sort of like the one where you unlocked your bootloader.
You need to plug your phone into the computer which has SDK tools and everything installed and enter CMD - and put your phone into fastboot usb mode.
Assuming you followed HTC dev method you'd copy the boot.img out of the rom folder you unzipped earlier and place it in C:/Android
Open command prompt (windows) or the linux/MAC variant
and type the following
cd C:/Android
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img for your rom
then type
fastboot erase cache (i think)
and reboot your phone through the bootloader. It should now boot.
:good:
Thanks to all, I have finally Install RUU and re-rooted my HOX.
Now running on Android Revolution HD 7.1.0!!
ps: I have manually flash boot.img this time..haha

glad to hear good news my friend..and a new update should be tonight or tomorrow with a new ARHD
have read the ARHD 7.2.0 latest feedback, and tried to flash 7.2.0 over the 7.1.0 w/out Superwipe but stuck on HTC One screen.
Now i restore back my ARHD 7.1.0..
Once the 7.2.1 version out, can I flash it without flashing 7.2.0.

Hello, I am In serious need of some help.
My problem is that my device boots up to the HTC logo with the red writing then the lightning bolt shows and the short boot video plays but the sound is all distorted and cuts out half way through. Then it reboots. This is an endless and annoying cycle so I hold power + volume down and run fastboot to get the shutdown option.
Here is what I did.
I was trying to root my device so I unlocked the bootloader. I then was going to use r1-primo-cdma-superboot.zip but my computer was having trouble downloading the file and I ended up getting redirected to Tweaked Stock Boot.img I then flashed the device with fastboot and that .img file and got a broken phone as a result.
Since then I have tried many things including the RUU but I wasn't sure what one to use so I tried multiple RUU files that sounded right however I kept getting "error 115 : Unknown Error" when trying to recover.
I am more than happy to provide any information and I understand some is needed to properly diagnose the issue but I am not sure what information is needed or how to access it.
Also I downloaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip and flashed the kernel. Before I did that I only got the HTC boot image on startup. After flasing the kernel the boot loop included the lightning bolt and short boot video with distorted sound. I could not flash the ROM though because the "/sdcard" dir is an internal directory and the actual sd card dir is "/sd-ext" so the bootloader cant do it. I also tried sideloading the PACman.zip with "adb sideload PACman.zip" with no luck.
Sorry to just throw all this out there but I really don't know what else to do I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight lol so I look forward to hearing any advice at all.
Did you try to re flash the super boot img?

Yes I did try that but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't have a ROM but I also have no way of flasing the ROM to the device because the sdcard mounts as "/sd-ext" but the bootloader will only look in "/sdcard"
Thanks anyway lol
You can't access the recovery? (if you didn't flash a recovery, download one, cwm or twrp and flash it via fastboot) if you can access it it will let you install roms

I can access the recovery via the bootloader but as I mentioned the bootloader tries to find the .zip file in "/sdcard" and my sdcard mounts to "/sd-ext" also when I try to sideload via adb all I get is the adb help screen. Its like adb sideload <filename.zip> isn't the right command.

Sorry but this sdcard and sdext is confusing, access the recovery and try to install zip from sd card (or sd ext), always put the roms in your micro sd, if from the recovery you can see the rom, then you have no problem at all. Once you install the rom, you go in the bootloader and flash the kernel, but not from the recovery, you flash it via fastboot.

Ok this makes sense. So from what I can tell the device was soft bricked and the /sdcard would not mount. I saw a fix that required the stock recovery but I couldn't get it to work however I did fix the issue by flashing the TWRPrecovery.img and formatted to ext3. Now I can flash ROMs but they keep bootlooping.
The new ROM boots up and about 2 minutes after everything is done it reboots. I have tried a few different ROMs and always wipe the data and everyhting but I cant find any answers.
Any Ideas?

cant boot into recovery
Hi, dont know if im posting this in the right section, but i have my one v rooted and the bootloader unlocked. i flashed the boot.img over and it was successful. i at first kept getting the phone with the triangle and red exclamation mark then after using the all in one tool kit i recieved after trying to boot into recovery the white htc start up screen with "this build is for development purposes only". i have cwm and twrp on the phone and tried to flash the cwm boot.img if im not mistakin. i just need to know why i would be getting this and what steps i may have missed in the process would be helpful. thank you in advance.
I have the ATT HTC One X and I used the All-in-One toolkit to flash recovery. I have tried several roms and all of them are stuck at the boot screen. Not the htc screen but the first screen of the rom. After doing this if I boot back into recovery and mount storage, my computer says the storage is not formatted. What could be wrong?
Thanks in advance.
You're posting in the wrong forum, so you could well be installing software incompatible with your phone.

Like crpticrage said. Since u dont have s-off, u cant flash complete boot.img from phone itself. u need to extract boot.img from rom.zip file. place it in your fastboot folder. then wen phone is in fastboot usb, type in cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img". ALSO, the first boot of any Rom can take upto 10 mins. Wait for a while and see. if still not working. den follow above steps
I am so stuck with this problem and have been searching forums for answers for days...Also, I am new at this. After much trial and effort I managed to
1. unlock my htc one x bootloader
2. install CWM recovery
3. install cyanogen mod
AND, it worked....however there were none of the google apps (gapps). So I downloaded them on the phone, went into CWM recovery and installed them from there. My phone restarted, then turned off. It now won't reboot.
It loads only as far as the HTC quietly brilliant logo. I can access bootloader through the power/vol.down keys. Then when I select 'recovery', it simply goes back to the "splash screen" described earlier.
I figured I would just try to reflash CWM and start over, but every time I flash CWM (and I have tried hundreds of times), the command lines say it has been done, but the phone just boots back to the splash screen again, and hangs there.
How do I get my phone back working again?
Many thanks in advance, and your patience is appreciated

thanks for your reply...i had already attempted Philz recovery 5.11.2, and just tried again. And again, the cmd box says it is written and finished, done and OKAY. Yet when I reboot or try to go to recovery, the phone immediately reverts to the splash screen still. Open to any ideas, and feel free to ask as many questions as needed...thanks Virgolib

Your recovery is fine just go back to bootloader and type in fastboot erase cache and then boot back to recovery.
Yep fastboot erase cache should do the trick indeed. Then start over with a full wipe !
Install CM rom, install gapps and then reboot. It doesn't work with a reboot in between !

i have tried all those things many times...the moment i attempt to enter recovery, the phone just goes straight to the htc quietly brilliant screen.
but just to be certain i am completing the steps right, i open a command window and type the prompt; fastboot erase cache
the pc tells me it is done
i then manually through the volume buttons select the recovery option and press power to execute
just a thought gents, my bootloader indicates that my battery is low. i have been using this command script i found to charge it a little, but it doesn't seem to charge it much...could the low battery be the cause or at least contributing to my problem?

hi mr Hofs, you seem to be the Don on this site!!!
I have tried everything suggested...relocked, unlocked, reflashed etc, but still, keep getting stuck on that htc quietly brilliant screen when trying to enter CWM recovery (or Philz recovery)
anything else i can try?
Uhm well i am not sure about this one. But lets keep on trying. I'm gonna put some random questions out
1: original HTC usb cable
2: directly usb 2.0 port on pc (not via hub or extension cords)

i am certain it's not bricked, as when i relock then unlock, i get the screen on my phone asking me if i am certain that i want to unlock it. it also responds to my command prompts in the black command window.

Hi Treebill. I am using recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
This worked the first time, just doesn't seem to be working now. I have also given philzrecovery a go, to no avail.
Tried it all again this morning;
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
(and just for good measure),
fastboot erase cache...THEN
reboot bootloader...THEN
phone just goes to htc splash screen and hangs...also i try manually entering recovery through the vol.down/power buttons, with the same result
Also, i am not even trying to flash gapps right now, just get the phone back working. However i was pretty certain I was using the right version when i originally did flash gapps...
What if you reboot to recovery via command ?
Fastboot reboot recovery
Make sure you delete all recovery image files in the fastboot folder, download and copy a brand new one to the fastboot folder and rename the file to recovery.img
Then flash it

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey XDA_h3n what is a ruu? Could be worth a try since when i go to fastboot I have 4 options which are 1. Bootloader 2. Reboot 3. Reboot bootloader and 4. Power down. So I go for he reboot option n the phone just tries to reboot n it hangs again just before the home screen...Thanks

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img
Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Unfortunately the PC is not recognizing the phone anymore...Do u think I can do it by SD card...i.e renaming the stock ROM or Recovery to PD98IMG.zip and putting it on the root of SD card? I guess the solution has to not involve USB connectivity

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)
I guess the journey just ended...I renamed the touch recovery zip file to PG....zip and booted into bootloader. I was required to confirm if I wanted to upate n I chose yes...and voilà I got recovery touch installed this time for real....did a factory reset n everything is just fine now...I appreciate all the help from you guys. I wonder how I gan tag this thread as solved...
