[Q] htc one x bricked. not charging. not booting. only bootloader - HTC One X

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.

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/

good luck to you and your phone. i was afraid of these things too, so before i started to do anything, i saved some roms onto my virtual sd card, just to be sure if i get stuck without a operation OS, i still have some roms on my memory. and before starting with anything, i charged my phone up to 95%.
sorry, i can not help you and i guess you have to wait for a solution.

Help: hard bricked from Stock Rom?

Hello,
I ran into some serious problems with my OneX about an hour ago...
here's my problem:
I flashed Ice Cold Jelly about a week ago with the provided boot.img. Everything worked fine until now. My Phone started to not turn back on after I turned off the screen so I turned it off using the 8sec powerbutton. After this it booted up and after around 5 mins the same thing happenend again.
So I wanted to go back to stock with a cwm recovery img I made just before I flashed the ICJ-Rom. I booted into the bootloader > fastboot and flashed the stock boot.img via the OneX AIO kit. After that I went into the cwm recovery and restored my stock rom.
The phone was plugged into the Pc during the whole process!
After the recovery finished I rebooted the phone and the stock boot animation greeted me so I plugged it off the Pc and just as I wanted to type in my pin the touchscreen didn't react. As I tried to figure out what happened the auto-lock kicked in and turned the screen off. Tried to turn it on again but it failed. Tried to power it off and on again pressing power for 8sec and rebooting it but no response.
Now I'm sitting here with my OneX which does not react to any button, is not recognized by the Pc and no powerLED when I plug it into the Pc or wall.
Some further information:
power was at 70% when I started
Cid is HTC__002
hboot was 0.95 (I'm not sure about that but it was before v 1.0)
Security was S on
I'm really helpless and a bit afraid right now... so if anyone could help me it would be just awesome!
Atm it's plugged into the wall, as I read in some other threads that after several hours this might help reviving it.
Thanks for any help!

Okay, did you flash the ruu's stock boot.img and system recovery the relock the bootloader before flashing the ruu?
---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------
sorry i misread it. You flashed a backup of your stock rom and flashed the boot.img. i would recommend trying to flash the original ruu if youre getting errors. The fails to turn it on sounds like it out of battery. If you can find the thread there is a batch file you can run to start it charging through your pc

I hope that's the problem, but I can't imagine my phone using up 70% of the battery plus the usb hub power in about half an hour.
...this all seems to me like there's a hardware fail (which I really don't want to) as the system booted and then crashed into brick mode.
I'm not home tonight but the phone is on usb and tomorrow I'll try the tool and report my findings
Edit:
Ok, the phone spent 6 hours plugged into the pc and until now it was plugged into the wall but nothing. It seems to be completely dead -.-
Tried the batch file but there's nothing much to try when I can't even get into fastboot. The phone simply won't react to anything...
I will send it back as it's only about a month old and hope the warranty will fix it.
There is a stock rom with stock kernel on it so I hope they don't bother about the bootloader beeing unlocked.
But what I think is that there is a serious hardware problem. As I continued to read through other posts I realized that I had the same audio problems (stuttering and slowing down of the music) like some others...
If HTC tells me something about what caused the problem I'll post it here.
So far thanks for your help

If someone knows of a general unbricking thread, please PM me or tag me with a link so I can post on this post.
I will PM a mod to pin this thread to top.

Guys My ION LT28h got bricked during a recovery using CWM.
First It was a soft brick, i did something , random pressing of buttons made it worse. its on HARD BRICKED STATE now. Its been more than 5 weeks.
So after some research i found out that my Kernel is ****ed up. My phone is Boot loader Locked, so i cant flash the Kernel separately.
Now few of our fellow xda members told me to unplug the battery cable from the motherboard.
I have successfully disconnected the battery cable from motherboard, i kept it disconnected for one whole night.
Whats the next step ?
Will i be able to flash it with flash tool after connecting the battery to motherboard back ?
Will i be able flash the busted Kernel to a working stock kernel ?
Accidentally messed up and soft bricked Ion- LT28h.
xperia Ion LT28h
ROM: JB 4.1 Pure CyanogenMod Based on CM 10 FXP 218
kernel: GI Kernel v3 or v5
Recovery: TWRP and CWM
Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader
Hi guys, above mentioned were my previous settings. Had occassional reboots and sometimes it was kinda laggy that's why i decided to flash it to another ROM - supposedly to ParanoidAndroid. After following steps to install PA, my phone was on bootloops, was in a hurry then freaked out, i tried soft and hardreset, and tried booting on recovery both on twrp and cwm to flash properly as what was instructed however i may have flashed the wrong zips interchangeably with other roms and kernels resulting to a total messed up ion. i could have restored immediately to a saved CWM or TWRP backup right away however, i only stopped resetting when my phone suddenly stopped responding, no Sony logo, no Xperia logo, no boot, just backlight on, does not turn off, soft and hard reset no nothing. i guess until the battery went dead, then i charged it the whole night.
after reading most threads on recovering softbricked phone, mainly this {RECOVER SOFT-brick}[2012 XPERIA's]Recover ALL 2012 XPERIAs from SOFT-brick thread, and after a couple of days of red led, i constantly charged, i patiently waited(2days) still no green led, however i found out that i can access fastboot. (blue led).. i managed to get to this fastboot mode(blue led) ONLY after i soft reset or power+vol.up/1 vibrate the phone once the backlight lits up- on&off - for about less than a minute then it goes back to red led. (i'll be calling that stage as backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle) but then again if i go to fastboot, it will stay in fastboot mode during flashes and it stays there until the battery runs out and goes back to red led. then i charge my phone again, but
during fastboot mode, i have tried flashing the kernel, system and boot image. all via Fastboot command prompt.
and all were successful. there were combinations like, flashing only the kernel, tried flashing kernel and system, tried boot image only, tried all the same time, tried system only, tried different kernels, system and boot img, BUT STILL my phone wont even give me the sony logo screen.
then i thought i may need to wipe cache and userdata so i also erased cache and userdate a couple of times via fastboot mode command prompt. and yes fastboot does detects my phone. it can reboot to bootloader or just the normal fastboot reboot. so i have no issues regarding phone and pc via using fastboot command prompt. and Same thing - all flashes were successful,
i have flashed i think more or less than a total of 50 times, flashing different combinations. Still it goes back to brick mode.. backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle.
i'd like to add that i have also tried flashing via fastboot mode using Flashtool. (thunder icon+selecting 'fastboot mode'). i have flashed the kernel and system, tried kernel only, tried both same time, tried system with boot.img tried flashing kernel with boot.img too, tried different combinations. again, all were successful, but still same result.
it only goes back to backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle.
a couple of days after it went to green. flashmode finally! thinking everything will now be alright, i decided to flash it using flashtool via flashmode. I connected phone to pc, after the solid red led and after backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle. and the it goes back to red led then the backlit on&off cycle, after observing my phone for hours i then knew that after, i guess about a hundred cycle of backlit on&offs it really does go to green led by itself and if i'm connected to the pc and flashtool it stays on green led or flashmode, however if im connected only on a wallcharger it goes to green led but will only stay there for like 1-2 seconds then goes back to red led and then the backlit on&off cycle.
then i thought just maybe my battery really needs to die as mentioned, since upon plugging my phone on to a wall charger it goes immediately to red led and there's really no response on the phone except only if you gonna wait for the backlit on&off cycle the n press power + vol up then it will respond and go to fastboot mode or power+vol down which goes to flashmode. then i decided to reset the battery by carefully unplugging the ribbon cable and i did. well, initially it did (led was off for a moment then changed to blinking red then solid red) but i have to go to work that time and had to continue only after coming home from work, and that did not resolved it.
i may have flashed my ion a hundred times or so to this date, still no luck. i have finally decided to re-locked my bootloader- and yes it is successfully locked now. - thinking PCC/SEUS/SUS would get it back to life but i'm wrong - it just cant detect my phone. PC companion detects it as Phone/Tablet only then after selecting Ion on the phone list it always says my device is upto date and no available software. (sad)
I also noticed that flashtool does not detect my phone as LT28h. It only says that it is connected to flashmode. Is that an issue too. I have tried diff versions of flashtool from 9.6 to 9.11 all same. i have also installed fastboot and adb as well as flashtool drivers, it sayas all were successfully installed however if im connected via flashtool flashmode, none seems to be detected on device manager, tried reinstalling and manually installing the sony sa0103 adb interface driver however after installing i get an error unable to start device. even if my phone is connected still the device on devicemanager still has an excalamation point. i'm using windows 8. i have flashed successfully before when my phone was in good state, however now that im on brick mode it seems that all flashes i've done did not push thru. also those times that i have flashed my ion via flashtool it says something like:
phone should be connected with usb debugging on and enabled install on unknown sources. i have tried flashing it using win7 pc phone was not detected still, however flashtool stated and detected my device was connected on usb debugging mode, but have has errors during flashing though.
since my bootloader is now locked im unable to flash now via fastboot. before bootloader status says- rooted now bootloader status is- ROOTABLE.
i previously owned xperia neo and have managed to flash it successfully without any issues, also this is the 3rd time i had bricked my ion and managed to fix it before..
i also want to ask regarding flashing back to stock - does that mean any stock firmware can be selected? can be .233 / .68 /.20 or the latest ICS 6.1.E.3.7? coz i have basically tried to all of those mentioned. also is the reason that my flashes were not successful is it because i was currently on 4.1 JB ROM and im flashing 4.0 ICS stock? I also have TWRP and CWM backups on my PC and on internal SD card, is there a way for me to flash or restore those backups via flashtool?
I'm running out of options, i'm desperate and on the verge of giving up.
i dont want to believe that i have totally messed up and hard bricked my phone. I do believe that there is a solution to this, and my phone can be recovered without sending it over to repairshop.. Today is the 3rd week and still struggling to get my phone back to life (even just the sony logo) . any suggestions before i unlock again my bootloader? please help. Any help will be gladly appreciated, and many thanks to everyone for spending time on reading my messed up and soft/hardbrick ion experience.
If you brick your device while flashing kernel and device do not respond any way then follow this little difficult but 100% sure method.
- Dissemble your phone.
- Disconnect battery ribbon from motherboard.
- Reconnect battery ribbon.
- Fastly connect USB cable while holding vol +/-
- Flash Kernel or FTF FW.
Just looking for some direction on my Xperia Ion that recently got bricked while attempting to update to JB software.
Currently, it has no response except for plugging into charger giving a solid red light. I am unable to get it into flashmode and have already disassembled and disconnected/reconnected the battery to reset it.
Im gonna guess that the kernel is royally efed up at this point, Im unable to get it into a bootloop either.
What is the next step to solve this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think that you should charge it more to be able to go into flashmode. Maybe until the red light will go off or it'll turn into green. Then try to go into flashmode. Good luck

After disconnecting and connecting back the battery cable , you wont get access to flashboot/flashmode instantly. disconnecting the cable will reset the phone.
If you are getting red led means , its charging on low power. You should keep on wall charging for some hours , say 12 + hours.
After that try flashing the kernel alone , first . you will have to hold the flash mode button for sometime. say 5-10 minutes. then if u have enough charge in your phone it will flash the kernel alone. if u are successful in flashing the kernel, then charge again for some hours , 2-4 hours then try to flash the entire ROM.

Thanks for your fast reply, but I'm already put on wall charger 1 day, and the red led got turn off (no led at all). I think I'll try rubber band trick tonight and leave it till morning.
Hey guys I'm having a problem with my Acro S... It's bootloader is unlocked.
It was soft bricked due to a command I ran on Terminal Emulator (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0). After inputting that command I safely turned off the phone (Long press Power button, Choose Power off). After turning off, phone was completely dead, no response. It was on 80% battery for sure. It happened last week Saturday (July 20). I then charged my phone for 2days+. On the first day (July 21), no red LED appeared, on the 2nd day (July 22), constant red LED appeared, 3rd day (July 23), red LED disappeared. I then prepared my flashtool for flashing the JB firmware .211 KERNEL ONLY. So I plugged in my phone with volume down pressed, I pressed it for 15mins! My finger was f*cked, after 15mins... nothing happened, RED LED just disappeared and I just heard the Windows USB sound. Flash process didn't start, phone didn't give me a GREEN LED. I tried it again and again and miserably same thing happens, can't go to flash mode. Tried the same with volume up button for fastboot mode but still nothing happens, the RED LED just disappears!
Should I just leave my phone charging on the wall socket even if the RED LED disappeared? To get green LED?
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! I NEED MY PHONE SO BAD! :crying:

thks for sharing but i have alraedy solved my hard brick problem my phone is back and running normally

Need some help - possible defective hardware?

First off, S-off phone
So, I've been running the GPE rom posted by Joel for a while now with no issues... Today a friend wanted to see the phone, so I pulled it out of my pocket; hit power; nadda...
So I held power down for a while; got teh HTC screen; then nadda.
So we then attempted to get into recovery, power + vol down then selected recovery... Nadda, just a black screen.
I then redownloaded TWRP and fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img, it tries to push it then it'll throw an error saying: "remote: image update error"
I looked around and found a thread with full directions with an RUU.. So I tried doing that, hwoever after clearing the cache via fastboot, when I try to do fastboot oem rebootRUU nothing happens.... sometimes teh screen goes blank, sometimes not.
Anything else I can try? I'm really wondering if it isn't defective hardware... .only had it 2 weeks too...
You are sure the phone is fully charged right ?

i was going to say the same thing. not sure how but i sometimes pull the phone out of my pocket with the screen on... so who knows which programs could have been tapped and running if it's bumping around in your pocket.
This is one of the reasons Verizon requires locked bootloaders now on all their phones. If the phone isn't even turning on, your first step should never be to try flashing a custom recovery or RUU (?!). If the phone has no charge and dies in the process, you could potentially brick it for good.
Sorry if that came across harsh, but... honestly, try charging your phone overnight first.

Guess I should have put more details in the first post... when I got it into TWRP the first time it showed an 88% charge. I attempted to restore a backup and inside the recovery it would say it failed reading the memory and then it couldn't browse anything.
If I attempted to simply factory reset inside the recovery it would just lock up. If I tried to flash a rom via zip, it would lock up...
After a few times of rebooting it into the recovery I couldn't even click anything inside it without locking up.
it was at that point I tried to flash a different recovery and started getting the errors...
Anyways, more I researched it simply was a bad phone with defective hardware.
all good...

US Unlocked stuck in bootloop. Unable to boot into recovery/download.

Okay, I have never had to create a thread for this kind of thing. I have always been able to solve these issues. This time around, I have ran out of ideas. I have been searching and searching Google, Xda and any other Android forum. I have seen multiple threads with this problem, some cases exactly like mine. Not one thread with this problem ends with a solution, they're all just dead ends. My HTC 10 started doing this a couple days ago after a notification popped up saying that I was using an incompatible charger after using a Samsung USB cable on a Quickcharge 3.0 car charger. 30 minutes later, my capacitive touch buttons were not responding. So, I just figured that I would reboot and everything would be fine. Now, my phone is stuck in a bootloop with no signs of recovery. The only thing it will boot into is the white bootloader screen. Trying to boot into recovery or download just throws it back into a bootloop. When its powered off and I put it on a charger, the charging animation will show for about 15 seconds then, back into a bootloop. Trying to use a RUU.exe doesnt work, just a message shows up saying that my phone is below 30% charge. The device will show up in fastboot devices when its in the bootloader but, its useless. Trying to flash anything in fastboot fails or does nothing. The bootloader doesnt recognize 2PS6IMG.zip in the sd card. I really need my phone for work and cant afford to wait for HTC to repair it, especially since Hurricane Harvey hit their repair center in Houston. I've taken out the Sd Card and sim to see that would help but nothing. I let it die completely and still nothing.
My bootloader screen shows
Status: Official
***Unlocked***
***S-OFF***
I have been running Viper 3.5.0 for awhile.
This is my last option to see if anyone else has got through this problem without sending it off.
Thank you

Hold down the power button and vol down until your phone reboots. It'll take 20 seconds or so, and the capacitive button lights should flash until it reboots.
That should take you to download mode where the RUU.zip on your SD can be flashed.
If that doesn't work, try power + vol up + vol down, then switching to power + vol down when the screen goes black. I think I remember having to do that once when I first got the 10 for a different problem, but it could have been a different device
