I have a one X unlocked international version which I had rooted and set up a recovery. I then went on to try to flash over ARHD after super wiping, and did a battery stat reset since I had flashed at around 30% and figured it would reset the calibration on the battery. Anyways, from here this is where it goes bad. After restarting it goes into a boot loop and ends up getting kicked back into bootloader. After this I try to factory reset to no avail. After trying to reflash the rom a couple times using recovery, recovery just died and won't even load anymore. In addition to this I can't get the battery to hold a charge as each time I plug it in it reboots and loads then says 0 battery and dies instantly. I can get to bootloader and fastboot but can't flash anything through fastboot because it says the battery is too low.
Any suggestions on how to fix this and get it back up and running, or am I forced to send it to HTC the moment they bring in parts for it. (right now HTC says there is a wait on parts as they do not have any in stock as its a new phone and their texas facility has diddly on hand)
Any suggestions are welcome as to fixing this predicament.

How did you wipe batterystats, from CWM? As the recoveries are new I suppose it's possible something went wrong if you did it that way, but it seems unlikely.
However, though probably not the root of your problem, there's no point in wiping batterystats.bin, as all that file holds in information on what processes have been using battery since your last unplugged your charger. This was one of those android myths (I used to do it too ) that was officially put to bed early in the year:

In addition to this I can't get the battery to hold a charge as each time I plug it in it reboots and loads then says 0 battery and dies instantly. I can get to bootloader and fastboot but can't flash anything through fastboot because it says the battery is too low.

I'm pretty sure I've seen others with this issue, have a search around the forums. Have you tried turning the phone from the bootloader screen, and leaving it plugged in to charge for a while?
Try this:
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Select Fastboot menu
3. Select "Power off" to shut down the phone
5. Plug in charger
Leave it for a while. From what I've read, the power LED may flash at first, but should settle after a few mins to a solid red. I'd leave it till it's green and fully charged then try again.
If that works, and you can get into recovery again, try restoring your backup of the stock ROM if you have one, to check the phone boots okay. (If you didn't take a backup first, you will next time. ) Otherwise try re-flashing the ROM, or if that fails you might have to re-flash stock recovery, re-lock your bootloader and then run the relevant RUU for your device to flash the stock firmware back. You'll have to unlock and root again in that case.
Good luck, hope it works for you!
usual story.
got an htc one x. flashed unlocked all going well. installed a bad rom (did not make a back up)
froze at splash screen. only late last night i found disaster recovery, so i put it to download and shut off the phone. boot back up this evening and tried to install recovery re-lock bootloader, clear cashe etc but. i got a low battery warning when trying to flash.
i didn't have the latest clockwork mod for charging installed; and battery is too low to flash to it.
this is where things get different. i used the boot loader to power down. i plugged it in to the wall to charge and i got this strange flashing red led(not orange) after about an hour it went solid red. had it charging from the wall socket for well over 4 hours now with the solid red led.
then all of a sudden the led starts to flash red again. so i disconnect the phone and try to boot.... nothing happens. try bootloader mode(power + vol.dwn) nothing.
i had to hold the two buttons then plug in the wall charger. then it went into bootloader. problem is it says relocked AND security warning....... and still after all that time charging. i still get low battery warning @ flash.
so i tried to turn off the device again using the power down option. two things happen here. 1)if the charger is in the screen goes black and instantly restarts to fastboot usb menu. 2)if it isnt in it will turn off and wont turn back on (splash screen or bootloader) until the charger is back in.
so what ive done as of now is plug it in to charge over night and hope this thread can shed some light.
additional info:
ruu version: 'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe
os version: 1.28.707.10
clockwork mod version: 5.8.2.7
plz any help would be invaluable
EDIT: just turned on phone about ten minutes after i plugged it back in to the charger (held power button alone) splash screen is back (yay!!) but still battery low when trying to flash in
fastboot usb. ima try in the morning after a full night to the charger. fingers crossed

srry posted last night but would not show the thread... so i figured i couldn't so i tried to post in an existing thread. now i dont know how to delete that other one...
FIXED
well never mind the fact that i loaded a plethora of info onto this post and nothing.
but besides that i got it working. in the disaster recovery tut it only lists using the ruu through a flash... never stating that you can just run the file directly and not go in %temp% and get the rom.zip(excepting for the recovery_signed.img). simply find your version of the ruu that you need, flash back to the stock recovery image (within the rom.zip) relock bootloader place device in fastboot and run from pc.
the only hard part is getting it to charge... dont know how mines took charge but i pluged it into the sockets @ my school (long story read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26156147&postcount=20).
when i pluged it in the light went solid red instantly no blinking. after about an hour of charge i pressed the power button and it went to the splash screen (still was on a older CWM which doesn't support charging) left it at the splash screen for the remainder of the class (about another hour) unplugged entered bootloader.
@ this point i had no security warning under relocked. but i used the power down option, took it home and tried to unlock/flash to the latest version of CWM so i could charge. it worked without a hinge.
anyone know why it took charge on an older CWM?
note i got the phone back up and running and the first thing i did was make a nandroid back up
hi i dont have an answer to your question but i have a question to your answer am curently suffering the same problem i can flash the stock cwm because of low battery, and i know when in boot mode it doesnt charge so i rebooted the phone it took me to the htc logo and its displaying a solid red light does this mean its charging or what (the boot loader is re-locked so i can flash stock cwm but cant due to low charge)
Noob badly. But I think it should be charging. Could b wrong. Leave it there for a couple of hours and try again. Mayb fixed. Give it time and try again.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Same thing is happening to my phone. and its bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked because of the charging. its usb debugging wasnt turned on either before it went down.
Please help anyone?
Guys I have Htc One X. I rooted it then I thought to install a custom rom (resurrection remix) and gapps. so when I was in the CWM recovery I installed the mod while it was installing it said error no file contents but it installed successfully anyway. after that I installed Gapps but it got an error and said Installation aborted. I then started panicking and I tried to restore the backup but nothing happened, then I re-locked the bootloader with battery below 30% then I used the batch file to charge it then I unlocked it again. Now I want to download a stock rom I tried 2 one was a newer version than what my phone actually is and the other one was a lower version than what my phone actually is. I then tried alooooooooooot to search for the appropriate one for my phone but I didn't find it so I thought to continue with installing custom rom anyway but the problem is that I need to get the new mod zip file and new gapps zip file into my phones sdcard but I can't do that/I don't know how. My phone isn't recognized by my pc ( I can't browse it's files) and I tried using adb in command prompt which is very complicated for me however I searched on the internet and tried to do the same but then it says "adb server is out of date killing" then I found one adbFix.exe that said that the adb in HTC sync manager folder is causing a conflict but then the Fix file said that its ok and no problems are there. Now I need to put custom rom and gapps zip files to my phone's sdcard but I can't. Please I would be very grateful to anyone who would help me and guide me and If I'm posting in the wrong forum or thread then please forgive me for this is my first time I made an account on XDA and my first ever comment/
Hello,
i unlocked my Bootloader with HTCdev, installed supersu and ClockWorkMod Recovery,
i copied the venom rom on the One X storage, flashed the Boot.img using fastboot and tried to Recover using CWM, but got a failure Error,
so the Device ended up in a Boot Loop.
That happened all yesterday.
I started up the Phone today, tried to get into Recovery Mode, got the HTC Bootscreen, but it´s not starting up again after trying to reboot / Bootloader, the Screen is staying Black, the Charging LED stays off.
I kept it on the Wall charger for one hour, used two different Cables, but i have no idea what happened here.
Do you have any clue?
can you still get it to power on or boot into bootloader ? (leave it in the original charger for about 3 hours to be on safe side, the led might not light up although its charging)
Its very unlikely that you bricked the phone from the recovery.
You can try rebooting by holding the power for 15 seconds
Got it into the Bootloader using the Pins on the Back and a cut USB-Cable with some Insulating Tape, seems like something with the Power over USB is wrong.
I got a Fastboot USB Connection, but i have no idea how to get the Venom ROM flashed properly.
NOTE: Don't keep the usb wires connected for long it can cook your phone/battery
check the phone's firmware version: fastboot getvar version-main, and check the radio
flash the corresponding ruu and check that your phone can recharge through normal usb port and charge it to 80%(if not then fix the hardware problem)
then follow the venom installation guide without missing any steps
EDIT:Im not sure which venom are you talking about but if you mean't Beatmod Venomous the instructions are clear (make sure you flash the included boot.img before flashing the rom) Or maybe Viperx by Venom the instructions are in the 5th post ?
Hy everybody,
I ve got a weird trouble.
What i wanted to do was to flash hboot so i went to bootloader and then i had to go and leave the phone on bootloader screen
without turning it off and with no power connected to it. When i came home again i noticed that the phone was off and now i got this trouble.
I m stuck at bootloader. If i try to get to recovery it fails and then the phone just reboot constantly
When i try to flash a new recovery over cmd fastboot flash recovery rec.img i get this message failed battery low.
When i adb oem rebootRUU i get to the black htc screen but when i try charging it turns also off after a while and if i try sending
the updated firmware it also tells me low battery.
Ok so i need to charge my battery but thats the trouble, when i plug the cable (over pc or power) the phone begins to charge (red light turn on)
and then it turn on my phone to bootloader and then after a few minutes it turns off because i think the battery is dead again.
Any good advice that could help? I m sure i could recover my phone again but as long as i can t charge it i think i m stuck.
Is it possible over fastboot or maybe adb to tell the phone to just simply charge my battery?
If im not wrong my cid is htc_102, if a RUU could help me it would be good but i don t really now which one to download for my
device. I used to have cyanogen mod 10 and i wanted to change to try some sense roms but i need needed to flash hboot
in order to get things working and now ..... u already know.
Thanxxx in advance.
Okay i fixed it.
Hello,
I've had this phone for about a week and got it configured the way I prefer: S-Off, unlocked Bootloader, SIM unlocked, rooted. I flashed the latest Beanstalk 4.4.4 ROM and life was pretty good.
The only thing was the power on screen had red writing, so I followed this thread: ★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen | m8 hboots | ALL Variants and it worked! It did remove the red writing, but now I can't boot into Recovery mode.
I tried getting to Recovery mode through HBOOT and also from the OS reboot menu. When the phone tries to get into recovery mode, it stalls at the HTC splash screen and states: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen, but never gets there. I then have to wait for the phone to run out of power, before I can put it on the charger and then be able to boot into the Bootloader or the OS.
So then I found a thread to erase the cache using Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot erase cache
which it did successfully. I then booted to the OS, and now I've lost my cell signal,
I booted back to fastboot and from my computer ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
which it did successfully. I then tried booting to the Recovery and again I get the HTC start up screen with: "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen.
So now I'm waiting for the phone battery to die off a fully charge. Before I do anything else, I would like some of your help with what my next step should be.
Please help!
Thank you.

the "fastboot erase cache" should be done after flashing recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name of correct twrp version>.img
fastboot erase cache
no need to wait for it to die out, POWER + VOLUP (possibly under a bright light) should do a forced reboot

Thanks so much for the tip on POWER + VOLUP to reboot the phone!
I then booted the OS ok (no cell signal though), rebooted to Fastmode, ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot: flashed the recovery file successfully, and then formatted the cache with the command line text stated.
When booting to Recovery, it's still not going into Recovery mode. Just sitting at the HTC screen with the writing at the top: Entering Recovery...
The phone also seems to be a bit sluggish now - just seems to be taking longer than normal for the parts that still work ok (loading the OS).

Not sure which recovery you're trying to flash but you might try a different version.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and it worked fine until I decided to try to get rid of the red text on the HTC bootloading screen.

have you made sure
1- the recovery is the correct one for your phone
2- the file isnt corrupt (check MD5)
i don't know if this is related to the modded hboot (it shouldnt be) but who knows, i dont like messing with hboot
If all else fails, RUU and start over.

Ok, I redownloaded the latest TWRP: 2.8.3.0 for the M8, checked it via MD5. I tried flashing the recovery file and nothing has changed... ( I now notice my phone won't connect to Bluetooth or wifi now)
Seems like all else is failing. I'll have to try RUU now. I'm starting to look around the M8 forum for info on RUU. Got anything threads handy to help me?

Originally the phone was with Rogers Wireless. I had to SIM unlock the phone so I could use it on Bell Mobility.

imho, try reflashing your firmware again (that would include stock hboot)
by removing the red writing you actually installed a custom hboot i think ...revert to your original hboot should fix things for you

Ok, so I flashed stock recovery and went to HBOOT>RECOVERY -> pressed VOLUP and POWER at red triangle w exclamation point screen.
- Wiped Cache, Factory Reset data (not sure if that is needed, but did it in case)
rebooted and the phone is working again (AND the red text is gone at startup)

nice :good::good:
no reason for custom recovery not to work since you were able to get to stock recovery, i've seen a few rare cases on the m7 where you had to delete the twrp settings file on the sdcard for it to work when going from one version to another (though really a very rarely)

Ok, it's definitely the download for the TWRP recovery I had. I'm able to reflash stock recovery and reflash other TWRP downloads (another download of the newest, then maybe 2.7.x.x)
-
OK, I flashed with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and that worked ok. I did MD5 the 2.8.3.0 TWRP, but it just won't work.
Thank you so much nkk71 and everyone who replied to my thread!
