[Q] FML...Should have left well enough alone. - HTC One X

So i somehow went hiroshima on my one x. I'll keep it short and simple. Had my BL unlocked but was running CWM recovery and the stock rom. Tried installing the cyanogenmod 9 and things went to hell after i flashed the boot.img. Now I am stuck at the white HTC screen. I read the disaster recovery but I am still having no luck. I relocked the bootloader and reflashed stock recovery then i tried using the ruu utility but it said that it didnt match and then rebooted with some developer text on the boot screen. I used the getvar command and it says:
version-main: 1.28.720.10
Before the blowup I had ran the OTA.I was on 1.26.720.10. This is the ruu i tried to reflash. I cant seem to find the 1.28.720.10. I also tried pulling the sys and boot img files from the temp directory and manually flashing, it gave an error.
as of right now i have the bootloader unlocked again and CWM recovery reinstalled so i can charge.
please help! $20 reward via paypal to the person that helps me get back to complete stock!
The worst part is i dont even want this damn phone...lol

Try this mate. If you can still get to bootloader and recovery it recoverable. I'd go back to stock so its as if you bought the phone, just to be safe. So...
Open cmd and CD to your fastboot file location. Plug phone in and...
First flash a stock boot.img from your stock.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Then relock your bootloader.
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Then run the RUU.
But make sure you have the correct one. So that includes region. If you started on 1.26 and you haven't done any OTA updates then you need 1.26 but with your region code.
Good luck!

i did do the ota to 1.28 before i blew it up. also, how do i find the right region code? WHen i searched google for the results of my getvar version-main i found a bunch of threads referring to that being the ota for india, so thats the ruu i downloaded from the fileshare. i was working off a hunch though.
Will I be able to use a 1.26 RUU if I updated to 1.28, seeeing as how my getvar says 1.28?

Yeah if you did the OTA you need to use the 1.28 RUU as your hboot will have updated along with either things so 1.26 won't work.

Use the 1.29 ruu?

Do you know how to push a ROM.zip on to your SD card via command prompt?
Try downloading a custom ROM and flash the boot.img then, clear cache, then boot to recovery and flash the ROM. Then reboot. Should work.

How do I Update Rooted HTC ONE X ?

Hi guys,
I have a rooted one X and want to install he latest update. I tried to relock my bootloader by starting fastboot and then type:
" fastboot oem relock"
Now my phone should be relocked and it does show relocked in pink in the bootloader, but under that stands security warning I don't kno if thats normal or important or something. I rebooted my phone and downloaded the update but when i try to install it i still get into the bootloader.
What am I doing wrong and how do I unlock my bootloader again after the update?
Sascha
You unlock by flashing the unlock_code.bin file again like you first did.
To apply an ota update you also need to reflash the stock recovery

I Relocked the bootloader and got back to stock recovery.. But while updating i have an error.. Phone with red square on him..

It returns me to bootloader))
You can try to following download stock recovery and download the RUU of your phone ( the same version as your latest official update ) then go to fastboot
Type
Fastboot flash recovery "your stock recovery " .img
Hit enter
Fastboot flash OEM lock
This might give an error but when you type it again it wil work
Now put your phone in fastboot again and then start your RUU from your pc if it gives an error just search for another One it will take about 10 min but after your phone will work fine
Hope it helps

[Q] Bricked One X (Black screen with silver htc logo)

I have searching for a solution here for last 2 days but couldn't find one
Problem :
My one x is displaying black screen with silver "htc" logo. It does not boot in bootloader or recovery. Although fastboot commands are still running on this blackscreen.
What I did
I successfully unlocked my one x and installed paranoiandroid but when I started using it my phone began to hang and the touch was disable.
Then I read the post for getting bavk to stock using RUU. I followed these step.
- checked my phone version using "fastboot getvar version-main"
- downloaded "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed"
- unlocked the bootloader "fastboot oem lock"
- Ran the RUU exe file.
Now the RUU is giving an error the RUU is not correct but it is the same version which I get from "fastboot getvar version-main" and now my phone is only displaying the black screen with sliver "htc" logo.
I shall be grateful if someone can provide a solution to my problem. Thank you.
try 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' or 'fastboot oem reboot-bootloader' (forgot which one).
Then try find a correct RUU to flash or just flash a custom ROM.

Thank you for the reply.
I have tried it. The command executes but the phone again boots in blackscreen with silver "htc" logo. It is not going in bootloader.
If you re-run the command fastboot getvar version-main, will it give you the same no. 2.17.707.3 ?

Yes it is giving the same version and I have downloaded the exact RUU version still RUU fails to complete its setup stating "not correct RUU, download the correct file"
I was searching for a solution and found that RUU setup also works if the RUU version is an updated version with same region e.g x.xx.707.x.
I have downloaded RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed. Should I try this?

I unlocked the bootloader and ran RUU.exe file from my computer. The setup begins and error occurs while flashing the rom image
I think you should reinstall the HBoot manually...
What CID do you have?
Is your Bootloader "relocked" ??

U need to RELOCKED your bootloader.
Please google how to extract boot_signed.img , recovery_signed.img and rom.zip from RUU. After u've extract those, flash boot_signed and recovery_signed first. Then boot to recovery, flash your rom.zip and only after that u run the RUU. Give it a try.

You should download it before...if you give me your CID pass you the correct link to download the correct "firmware.zip" that contains the HBoot.
After the downloading you should type this command twice:

Thank you. My cidread returns HTC_044. Also I have logged into bootloader screen again. I just ran the Unlock_bin file I received during rooting my device and now my phone isn't displaying the black screen and finally entered bootloader.
The problem I figured out was my bootloader was relocked and my RUU setup failed, so I had a custom rom installed with locked bootloader. That's why the phone was bricked I wan't entering bootloader.
Now I can access my recovery as well.

You don't need to extract anything from the ruu, if you have the right ruu just lock the bootloader and leave the phone there ... Start the ruu from pc with admin rights.....
Im speakung from my experiance. I have face this problem before. RUU program cant install the rom. So i have to flash everything extracted from RUU first. Only after that the RUU can install the rom. But maybe im just got lucky though.

[Q] quick Hboot question

just a quick question,
I am trying to update my GF hox to a new jelly bean rom and I havent dont it in a while and people are mentioning upgrading the hboot.
She has hboot 0.94 so which hboot should I upgrade to?
is it just a matter of flashing the RUU specific to her phone (3 uk)?
cheers!

would really like a quick answer as im stuck on "HTC one X beats audio" screen
After looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009525 it looks as though the jelly bean RUU for 3 UK has not yet been released.
So your best bet would be to flash an ics RUU and wait for the official jelly bean OTA update to come through on the phone. You can try a H3G UK RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor ,but make sure to check what your main
version is using fastboot getvar version-main to see which RUU is the one you need.
You can't update the hboot until the firmware for your CID has been released.
I hope this helps.

What is the error code the RUU is giving? And if the bootloader is unlocked, try locking it and running the RUU again.
Does the fastboot getvar version-main command give you the number with .771 in it?
EDIT: Also, you need to flash a stock recovery if you don't already have one. You can get one from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and rename it to recovery.img and then flash it through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. But this has to be done before locking the bootloader.

[Q] Q: Firmware Package HTC One X

I'm going to update my htc one x to jelly bean from ICS, using custom ROM (ARHD), it was noted that I need a firmware package, and now that I found the package for my CID because took sometime before I found it, is it really required to flash it? TIA
For JB roms you need a JB hboot those are the 1.31 and higher up. Except for the aosp JB roms, those run also on the lower ics hboots.
So if you are on a lower hboot then 1.31 then yes you need to upgrade the hboot
Now I think everything's messed up and I badly need help here, so stupid with I did.
At one moment, my phone is stuck at One tm screen, after I flash the boot.img and installed the custom ROM. I tried to restore my phone using CWM but it still stucked. It was too late before I realized how to flash the firmware package that I need to rename what I downloaded to firmware.zip. I tried flashing the firmware without knowing that I have to relocked my phone before I flash it. Now I relocked my phone and I'm stucked with hboot and I can't do anything at the moment.
With it relocked. In fastboot do
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals)
Your phone will then reboot into a black screen with the HTC logo.
Then do fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Once completed fastboot reboot-bootloader
It will reboot into bootloader
Then unlock and flash recovery again.
Flash boot image and reinstall ROM and you should be good to go

Cannot load "firmware.zip" always shows up. My CID is HTC_044, and as far as I know I downloaded the correct firmware package for my phone according to ARHD forum. Thanks in advance.
Did you have the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder?
Yes. And I downloaded it 3 times just to make sure it is the right firmware.
Oh and sometimes you need to flash it 3 or 4 times to succeed. I had to do the command 3 times when I flashed my firmware.
So try it multiple times in a row.
Sent from my One X
Sorry but I tried several times and "error: cannot load 'firmware.zip' all the time. What could be the problem?
During at work. I thought if is it possible just to return to stock ROM? But I just can't find the proper RUU yet.
cid: htc_044
version-main: 1.29.707.11
I'm currently charging my phone using the batch file I found here in xda. I saw a lot of posts regarding flashing the current version of CWM so you can charge your battery, I think my CWM is in version 5.8.1.0, and as far as I know you have to unlock your hboot before you can flash recovery, so it's impossible for me to flash 5.8.4.0? Am I correct here or I can just proceed to the other steps?

Thank you Mr Hofs! And, should my battery level is 30% or higher before I can flash the RUU?
Yes ! If you can't get enough power with the batt script you can flash the latest cwm recovery and charge the battery in there to 100% if you want to.
Unlock the bootloader first if it is still locked

I was done in re-unlocking my bootloader, but then I still can't flash cwm recovery because it says low battery, then I tried to use the batt script again and of course it cannot work since I just re-unlocked my bootloader.
I never tried it with a unlocked bootloader, have you tried it ?
Yes, I tried it and it doesn't work.
What I did for the past hours, I tried to restore my phone again using cwm recovery, still nothing changed, still stucked at htc one logo, then I turned it off trying to charge it using the main charger and it does have light in its LED, left it for a while and now it doesn't turn on.
Try it with phone connected to the pc, it seems to make a difference sometimes....and if you are capable again to run the bat script then leave it for 2.hours or so !
Now it's working. The first time I used the batt script, I thought it could charge more than 3681mV but It didn't work as it didn't get higher than 3681mV. I HOPE it's enough just to flash the cwm recovery. Thanks Mr Hofs, will update asap.

Then you will need to make a Goldcard then download the WWE Version then run the .exe and get the rom.zip file copied some where then with goldcard inplace run fastboot with the following commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU

That will then flash it. make sure before running fastboot your in the same place as fastboot and the rom.zip file though

On Windows 7 any idea where the rom zip is extracted to when the exe is run?
