[Q] Tell me I've not bricked my One X!!!! - HTC One X

Can anyone help me. I tried to install a new ROM last night and think I left the boot.img in the zip file. After it finished it wouldn't reboot.
I've been looking all day & saw that if you relock the phone you can install a stock RUU. I've tried that but get installscript launcher not working. (running Win7).
I've also tried to flash a recovery image, but it starts to send then says remote not allowed.
Does anyone have any advice?? I think I've done a proper job on it!!!

small update - I've managed to part install one of the stock ROM's but it gets just past the signature stage then gives an error and stops.
Any ideas why? Could it be due to my phone originally being on O2 but I'm trying to install a HTC generic ROM?
Or any other ideas?

Yes. The phone has an O2 specific CID and the generic firmware will have a different one. Locate the O2 RUU in the big firmware thread.

I've searched the big ROM thread & there's a link to an O2 UK RUU but it's dead.
Can anyone help me with this. I cant find anything yet & have a bloody expensive paperweight at the minute!!
I need an O2 UK RUU file.
Thanks guys.

Type in the fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
See if it works, then repeat the whole unlocking procedure by locking.
Can you still access fastboot via Power + Vol down button?
Cheers

[Q] Can't flash system.img via fastboot

Hi,
My One X got the OTA update yesterday to go to 1.28
today I was flashing a ROM via recovery but something went wrong and afterwards the phone wouldn't boot up just got stuch at the HTC logo page.
Since then I've been trying to sort it out but with limited success.
I've essentially followed the advice given on this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748&page=4
However nothing has worked for me. I've tried flashing the RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
But it won't install as I was already on 1.28.
After that I tried taking a boot_signed.img and system.img from the RUU. i was able to flash the boot_signed.img ok but when I try to flash the system.img I get an error as follows:
" FAILED (remote: (00000006))"
Does anyone know what this means? Is it something to do with the size of the system.img?
apart from getting this working there doesn't seem to be anything I can do other than wait for the 1.28 RUU to be released.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be really appreciative as I've got a pretty useless phone right now.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all
I have the same problem, i flashed the 3 dot fix from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506, not fully paying attention at the time that it was only for custom roms.
I am now stuck at the htc beats screen. Have done all the above and get the same error with system.img.
I have left it a few days without being able to use my phone in the hope that i could find a fix to very little success.
So please if anyone could help in any way would be much appreciated.
Thanks
- you need to have ruu of .28 (i don't think there is yet) and run the EXE file as you can't fastboot flash as of now
- you need to install htc software before you run ruu exe.
as for russel if you did not OTA read this

same problem, waiting for a 1.28 ruu (chinese one didn't work (of course, but had to try anyway)). going to a Vodafone shop that has a technician on site, see if they can help (maybe they already have a 1.28 ruu).

Where did you find the chinese version? We may be able to flash the system.img from that RUU
The moral of the story...always nandroid.
can't remember from which site it was, but there was a thread here about it (maybe in the dev section) with a link to a chinese site. took about 5 hours to download (i'm in europe).
was just in the vodafone shop, spoke to a technician, they don't have ruu 1.28, but he was going to ask around and told me to contact him in a week to see if he managed to get it.
A week? Hopefully someone will have posted it before then, hope so anyway, I need my phone back
If anyone could confirm what the fastboot error "remote:000000006" means I might be able to get around it.
Maybe it is because it is the wrong version.
"remote:000000006" = file too large. There is a way to by-pass it, but can't remember how exactly. There should be another fastboot? a "gray htc one"? Just my 2 cents.
disclaimer: (for all other readers) note that flashing boot.img and system.img is not recommended. use RUU's instead

Thanks for this, I'll have a dig around and see if there is another fastboot available.
In work now so will have a play around later.
EDIT: If you remember what the workaround for that issue was please let me know.

I have try that method, but when it says "install RUU" how? i took the ROM.zip out and tried to flash the recovery.img that went fine and then when it came to the system.img says failed with the error from the 1st post.
I cannot run the RUU.exe as it say device cannot be found. (Have htc sync and drivers.)
Also tried differnt fastboots.
Lastly does the bootloader have to be locked or unlocked?
you have to flash back the original recovery, relock (fastboot oem lock) the phone, boot back into bootloader (power + volume down), make sure you have hts sync installed with the drivers, run ruu exe and follow onscreen instructions.
I think you need to be in fastboot then connect your phone to the pc and then run the exe and it should recognise your phone.
As mentioned above you also need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU.
When i run the RUU.exe and follow on screen instructions says device not found. I have htc sync installed and the drivers.
when i load back into bootload (the step before run RUU) do i enter back into FASTBOOT or stay in HBOOT?
EDIT: now got error battery below 30% so ill recharge and try again later. Thank you all for helping (wether this works or not) really appreciate it. (Sorry to the Op for deviating slightly from post. Didn't realize my issue was slightly differnt from yours.)
when this happen to me i just put the usb wyre en another usb port and restart my computer, this solve the problem
I finally got it to run the RUU, but now get the error 140: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
Have i downloaded the wrong RUU? as far as i have found there only 2 for Europe?
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe
Thats the one i have. Im on contract (O2), live in south east england.
Thanks.
You may have the same issue as me. Did you update your firmware via an over the air update this week?
If yes you will have to wait for the 1.28 RUU to be released.
Sadly yes. Just minutes before applying the 3 dot fix. Was late at night wasnt paying attention.. So now its the waiting game. Thanks all.

Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. The OTA came out on Thursday I think so we should have the RUU in the next few days....
The new RUU should be available for download tonight:

[Q] Bricked after OTA update failed

Hi I've been searching for days and have always been able to find answers but this one has got me.
My gf has a HTC Desire HD, pretty sure it's Vodafone since she works there. Tried to do a normal update a while ago and it never started since, just sits on the HTC logo. I can boot into fastboot hboot recovery and all that but I'm stuck as to what to do from here.
I have found a couple of WWE RUU's but the error out with a CID error, I've also found a Vodafone backup someone took from clockwork but this phone only has stock recovery and I don't know how to flash clockwork without being able to boot the phone.
Hoping someone might have an easy answer, please let me know if I need to provide more details.
Thanks.
If its rooted just place a rom on the sd and flash it with full wipe. You are not suppose to accept OTA updates if the phone is rooted if Im not mistaken. If not rooted then go to HTC websight and get the official RUU and install, instructions should be on websight.

Get me the CID and Iwill provide u with a ruu that works...VODAFONE from where? not all ruu's are available, but at least we can find one that makes your phone back to work...:good:
Unfortuanately it isn't rooted, I probably would've had more luck by now if it was.
I can't see the CID on the bootloader is there a command on fastboot or something to find this? I've been searching but can't find anything.
Sorry I thought of that afterwards, it's Vodafone Australia.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I just tried that European RUU thought I didn't have anything to loose but it came back with ERROR 132 Signature Error.
The Australian HTC site doesn't have a RUU to download that I can see.

yep, do the following: boot in hboot and choose fastboot. Then plug the phone (check that you see fastboot usb in red)
Open cmd as admin or a terminal as root and then, type fastboot getvar all. Get the INFOcidnum and paste it here. With that I will try to find a ruu that works. But stop trying flashing other things...you might mess the device.
Hi
Thanks again for the help. The cidnum: VODAP021
Hope this helps, I haven't checked out those other links yet though.

Ok, I will look for a RUU (to see if I can get one that works, and will send it over a PM)...:laugh:
No post it here in case someone else has the same problem so he too can get the file.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Solution!!
Ok firstly sorry it's taken me ages to post this but I finally came up with a solution to this problem using a few different guides and instructions on these forums.
So the problem was I had a Vodafone AU branded HTC Desire HD that had no root and a locked bootloader that was stuck in a bootloop after a failed official update. The main problem is that there is NO stock recovery ROM ANYWHERE for a Vodafone AU HTC Desire HD, trust me I looked and I am not new to looking for stuff like this. glevitan provided me with a WW ROM that I managed to get working with a bit of work, there are also many WW ROM's around that you should also be able to use. I'll try to explain as best I can as to how I got it to work (going from memory) so if anyone else has a similar problem they may be able to use this information.
1. Firstly find a suitable WW ROM to flash, it needs to be a PD98IMG.zip image to copy to an SD card. There is a Vodafone AU dump on this forum but that will not work if you are completely stock standard. I think you can get this zip from the RUU or maybe ask glevitan if he wouldn't mind helping in providing this again. I didn't want to link to his file but there are others around.
2. Create a goldcard. If you turn your SD card into a goldcard it will allow any ROM to be flashed, normally it would only accept the Vodafone AU one but by doing this it will accept the WW one. To do this I used a second phone to create the card.
I used the Ultimate multi tool which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639
You may have to do a bit of reading on getting it to work, from memory you have to put in a number to a website to generate a file, I think I ended up using a different website, there's a few options in getting this done, google is your friend for this
3. Once the goldcard is created copy the PD98IMG.zip to the root directory and put it back into the phone.
4. Turn on the phone and boot to hboot by holding vol up (I think) on power on. The phone should automatically check for a suitable PD98IMG.zip file and as long as the goldcard process worked and you have a suitable ROM on the root directory it should flash it fine.
This is basically what I did and it successfully booted after a lot of looking around. I hope this helps people in the future with similar problems. If you need to ask any questions about this process as I haven't provided every single detail please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you out.
Thanks again to glevitan for helping and providing a suitable ROM to flash.

First of all if you are having the issue I have please follow the next steps.
If you notice when you are in the Bootloader it will say RELOCKED ** SECURITY WARNING ** if so
Run this bat file with the cable connected until the ** SECURITY WARNING DISAPPEARS ** - http://www.speedyshare.com/b3WsH/Fas...y-recharge.bat
It should disappear after one reboot of charging when it does remove the cable and close the BAT file
Reconnect the cable and open a fastboot cmd window and run the "" fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin "" this will then allow write access and you should be able to use your phone again! my CM10 rom is still working and etc
Hope this helps for other people, please message me if i wasn't clear enough in above.

Cheers guys
usually when you have error 140 is because you have wrong hboot version (you have to be lower or the same than ruu),
watch in bootloader what hboot do you have and then download ruu from here http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
check if you have a branded phone or not, and which region (europe, asia...) and download the right one then try again

Help in solving bootloader issue

Please I have a peculiar problem, I pray you can assist me. I tried to root my telus dhd using advanced hack kit, after running the hack kit the phone failed to reboot. It stock at a blank bLack screen. To solve that, I mistakenly flash a froyo pd98img on a GB ROM. Since then, the phone takes about 20 to 30 minutes to boot. It will start with a splash screen and vibrate for about 10 minutes then takes another 10 minutes to boot. The problem is I can't enter boot loader and I can't use the hack kit again to return to stock since the phone won't reboot in the process.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.
And why exactly can't you enter the bootloader? Remove and re-insert your battery, Press Vol Down and Power button to boot into the bootloader.
Can you post the text that appears on the bootloader? Is your phone S-OFF yet?

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks

Is yours Telus too? I downloaded an RUU intending to flash it using windows, the computer detects the phone but I was afraid. I read in some forums that flashing the RUU in this situation can lead to brick! Pls advise me. Thanks for the reply

Just make sure you read properly how to do it before proceeding. Read the guide bananagranola gave you and follow the instructions. We can help with almost anything but conquering your fear. Unless you want glevitan to connect to your computer via teamviewer and have him press 'next'.

Yes, it's messed up bootloader. Yesterday on #ahksupport, @attn1 gave an adb command, which after typing it, The phone booted to a black screen with HTC on it. Then he gave me a link to a file which he ask me to paste in cmd window. But unfortunately he changed his mind due my inability to respond swiftly to his question.
I have found the PDF, will give it a try. Thanks
Update: This is the file uploaded to by @attn1 yesterday. I believe it's an extracted and unlocked bootloader. The only problem is that I don't know how to flash it. If anyone can assist me.

Ok, this is what you have to do. I sent you the pastebin link in the IRC channel yesterday but afterwards attn1 told me that that solution would not work in your case. You need to flash that HBOOT in this way:
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13152450/ace/PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip --no-check-certificate
fastboot flash zip PD9812000_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hboot_0.85.0024.zip
The code will also download the hboot....BE PATIENT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO FLASH...RELAX AND ENJOY

RUU

that is normal as you don´t have a RUU in your phone. Does it still take long time to boot in hboot? from there you should be able to flash a RUU as that hboot supports multiple CIDs
I don't think it worked as he is still showing the .007 boot which is froyo.
Question why wouldn't your guide work in this case? Is it because of it being the nam version(pd12000 vs pd10000)? Hboot versions not interchangeable?or something else that as mentioned in the irc

to be strictly plain I am not quite sure..but Attn1 told me that the fix in the guide will only work with just one RUU build 1.32.xxx can't remember now. So he has to flash a new hboot that will allow multiple CIDs...

Just one question...when you flashed the hboot did you get the OKAY.finished in the command prompt? Your is still at slow motion for booting??
If the answers to the question are: Yes. No...then you can flash an unbranded RUU and it should work. :good:

No, I didn't get OKAY in the command, It didn't show finished. The phone screen just showed black with HTC written on it for almost two hours. Then eventually it rebooted to white screen withe info I posted above. Yes it's still at the motion boot.

Then I don´t think you have flashed the hboot....the process will take 2 or 3 hours I guess. You need to get OKAY. Finished near the end to know that you have achived the goal.
If you want I can lend you a hand via teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/) but you have to put the phone in fastboot usb first. When you are there just send me the ID and PASS over a Private Message (PM)...

HTC M9 won't boot after update - can't flash anything, factory reset or unlock bl..?!

Hey guys
got a HTC M9 with cid "O2___102" which won't boot up after stock update.
Phone was not modified yet.
1. Can't unlock bootloader (says: "(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock") - so no way to install custom recovery + custom rom to revive
2. Can't boot into recovery (shows phone with a red exclamation mark but no menu) so no way to factory rest
3. can't find a matching RUU for the "O2___102" CID ...
PLEASE HELP =(
At the screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark, press and hold the power button. While holding the power button, quickly press and release the volume + button. If this gets you to recovery, try a factory reset.

I do believe if you can get to download mode you can do a factory nreset from there, if that will help you.

The UK ones for O2 can be used with the German O2 CID, too. You can find them for example in my Collection of Back-to-Stock Files or on androidRUU. But I'm not sure whether a downgrade from android 5.1 is possible with S-ON. The only confirmed downgrades with S-ON were from 1.32.XXX.15 to 1.32.XXX.8. And from my experiences with Denis Meissner and Amr Nasser I would say that a downgrade isn't possible with S-ON if the first and/or the second number of the actual firmware version differ from the ones of the firmware you want to downgrade to.

Can you flash twrp recovery? If you can, maybe you can flash a stock backup from someone else.

Yeah, would have suprised me if it worked. As said before even downgrading from 1.40.XXX.X to 1.32.XXX.X seems to be impossible with S-ON. How long did you actually wait until you thought that you phone doesn't boot? The update to android 5.1 and the first boot took around an hour for me. Maybe you just need to wait a little longer. If your phone was unlocked I would suggest you to flash TWRP and use one of my stock backups but...
The only other option I can see right now is trying to find someone who has a java card. With S-OFF you should be able to downgrade with the RUU. (If I remember correctly there were one or two shops advertising their java card services on Android-Hilfe.) This option may not be for free but it should still be cheaper than sending your phone to HTC's repair service or buying a new phone.

whats that java card you're talkin about? Never heard of that.
An appropiate RUU with the latest version should theoretically also work, right?
Problem ist that I cant flash anything custom because bootloader locked and I cant get inside the system to enable the bootloader unlock... =( and the thing has a visually broken volume up key for dropping down, so the htc support won't fix it (for free) I fear.. otherwise I would just give it to them since it has not been modified yet. (not my phone ..)
P.S:
OS Version is 2.10.206.2 - thats the latest one right?

Yes, 2.10.206.2 is the latest version for now. If there were a RUU with your firmware version then using it would be the easiest way to solve your problems. But as far as I know the only existing ones for O2 are for 1.32.206.6 and 1.32.206.15. But with S-OFF you would be able to use the older RUUs, too.
I never used a java card so my knowledge about this topic isn't that outstanding. I know that it is a small, SIM-Card-like looking thing that allows you to S-OFF your phone. Usually they cost several hundred euros/dollars and the number of times you can use them is limited. Since verizon blocks bootloader unlocking these cards are the only option if a verizon users wants to flash anything on his/her phone. Some German phone shops offered S-OFF by java card, too, before sunshine got updated for the M9. That's why I gave you the link to Android-Hilfe. (And that's actually all I know about that topic.)
i need this rru please any one have to uplode link
thanks
Just as an update, I recently bricked this phone trying to flash lineage to it. To fix it, I went to HTC.com and downloaded the current RUU and put the phone into download mode. I know some people say you don't need to "relock" the device, but I don't get errors during the installation with RUU when relocked. Plus, I am running with S-on.

Bootloader and s status are irrelevant. The phone will flash regardless.
