[HELP] Bricked HTC one X - tried everything.

Hi there XDA,
I have searched and tried many different ways to help me,
but none have worked or are lacking in information for me to follow methods.
so i have turned to your general help!
i do not have any knowledge on how my phones bootloader was unlocked or any fastboot things at all, if you could explain to me step by step methods of using the fastboot option via connecting it to my computer to get it to work including files i need that would help.
well okay these are my problems.
~ I tried flashing a jdroid rom, with aroma installer.
it installed the rom but after i installed it it was looping the 'HTC' logo at startup.
what happens is i turn it on, it says "htc quietly brilliant" hangs for a few seconds, screen goes black then phone vibrates and it repeats.
i have a CWM flashed but whenever i boot into recovery it the cwm flashes on the screen for one tenth of a second and then it reboots and i get a loop of booting screen.
If anyone could please help that would be greatly appreciated! i have only had this phone for one week! and it is vital i get it fixed as i have alot of information in the SD card vital to my business

First, download the RUU for your phone (you should have it already as you got it before unlocking the bootloader, right?). If you didn't, then this is the first rookie mistake you've made
Second, relock the bootloader. This involves using fastboot which, again, you should how to use before doing anything that can potentially lead to issues. If you don't know how to use fastboot then check the threads in the Dev forum or Google it
Third, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot and run the RUU
This will get you back to stock and then you can start again (once you've read up on everything properly)

I tryed to install RUU yesterday with relocked bootloader to solve sense issue but did not get it work.
Tryed with 1.25, 1,28 and 1,29 but got error 120 and 170 (no USB connection and low battery even battery was 95%).
Any idea why?
Then I removed CID line in OTA and installed it by fastboot and sense issue was gone

Good news is you're not bricked, do you have adb installed on your pc?

If your friend unlocked and rooted your phone, he must have had the necessary tools on his pc.
Before trying other things, get your friend to run fastboot erase cache (or if you have the necessary tools run it yourself with your device booted in fastboot of course (volume down and power pressed))

hmm i have done some extra researching and had more help but my phone is in fastboot and is connected via cable to pc but the CMD always comes up with "waiting for device"

Have u got HTC sync installed
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Once you have htc sync installed or just thethe drivers boot into hboot. Click on fastboot plug in device. It should show fastboot-usb.
If you bootloader shows unlocked open cmd and cd to the platform-tools folder in the sdk and type: fastboot oem lock.
This will relock the bootloader and reboot the phone. Boot back to fastboot the run the ruu for your cid and all will be back to normal.

Error[170]: Usb connection error

Hello,
I have a HTC desire HD with rooted IceCold Sandwich 4.0.4 android OS. I want to revert the phone to original state and for that I am using a RUU rom "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.exe".
I am following all the instructions given by XDA forum correctly and data cable is also connected properly (as USB storage is working perfectly after connection), but unfortunately everytime I try to revert to Stock RUU, I get an error "ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".
For diagnosis purpose, I tried downloading another RUU stock rom and followed the same instruction. Now also same error appears.
There are few issues I am facing in my rooted rom and hence I want to revert to stock rom. But always a failure
I request you to please help me as to how I can manage installing stock rom which can connect with PC.
Waiting for a favorable reply.
Thanks,
Harry

You downloaded and installed HTC Sync for the correct USB Drivers?

Yes Andy, I have latest version of HTC Sync for my DHD. Version = 3.2.20
Anyone here who can help me to get rid of this issue.. Please Please.. Its been 2 days my DHD is in power off state.. I need the resolution to awake my DHD.. :crying:

Did you unlock using HTC's Bootloader unlock program or did you use any tool found here on XDA?
If you used HTCs system you will need to relock the bootloader before you can flash any RUU's.
If you can get into fastboot try these commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then try to run the RUU.

Is there any other way to relock the bootloader? I'm having the same issue with the latest HTC Sync Manager installed.
EDIT: Thanks., Locking it via fastboot and running RUU in that mode got past the 170!

HTC_032

Does somebody know which official RUU can I install to my phone, if I have a CID: HTC___032 ?
I am asking it, because I have screwed up my phone a bit, and a want to return to stock. I do this PD98IMG.zip stuff, but after the blue and the the yellow bar have filled in the top right side of the bootloader, i says an error: Main version is older. I am trying the European WWE 3.12.405.1 rom, but I know that mine says I am on 3.13.0.0 in the RUU installer. What should I do?

I have read that thread (search for Ace advance hack kit AAHK link is removed form xda)
Then choose the option root.
A goldcard (goldcard creation process is completely integrated in this procedure)
Temproot
To downgrade the mainver on the device
A HTC signed firmware package from a suitable OTA update.
If he said fail try it again (me did it the 3 time)
When jou phone complete s- off is choose the options back the stock. You must have a ruu for that.
[ READ CARFULL THE MANUAL !!! You are not the first with a corrupt boot loader.]
Your problem is that you have it unlock with HTC dev. If you use that method you are not able to flash radio and kernels. Whitout the kernel he won't boot. Hope that that your helps

Yes, but I have relocked it. Now I am start trying aahk, and i will update upon my process in this thread for further information.

So I am trying to run the AAHK in fastboot USB mode with procedure 1 : Hack Ace, but it says device is not found. My flash method is fastbootRUU, so it cant be the problem

I have proceeded to point, where aahk says Radio Downgrade Faliure. Either Goldcard failed or USB connections are not working 100. What should i do?

try the drivers form PDAnet
or install htc sync
do you have adb tools?
for check devices go to adb and use the command "adb devices"

Running the hack kit is easier than setting up adb.
You could try uninstalling the htc drivers and installing them again, reboot the pc. And yeah, you might as well set up adb while you are at it if you really want to learn stuff over here at xda.

Desire HD Can't root on ANY computer

I've tried to root my Desire HD on 3 different computers, just won't work. I've isntalled all the drivers etc to unlock the bootloader and the fastboot bit just won't work what so ever, any help?

First off all, how do you do it? You following a guide ?

Yeah. I've tried every guide on the forum.
I think the driver that never installs is the simple "android" driver. everything else seems ok. Also when I install the android sdk the folder for it don't show up anywhere.

But its definitely the phone. I'm also using Windows 8.

How are you putting your phone in fastboot?

Pressing fastboot on the bootloader menu... it's more driver/phone related i think

Assuming you installed your drivers correctly with HTC Sync, I'm betting it's a Windows 8 problem.

Can't be as I've tried it on a Windows 7 computer with the same result.

Linux maybe? LiveCD? If that doesn't work your phone is probably just broken.

Linux won't change anything, and the phone is working fine.

Specifically, your phone's fastboot would be broken, not the entire thing. Have you run a RUU? Has it ever been unlocked or flashed with a custom ROM?
If the drivers are fine and the phone is fine, they would work, wouldn't they? Between those two something isn't fine. So either the computer's drivers aren't working or the phone's fastboot isn't working. If drivers are not working, you either installed them incorrectly (which you said you haven't) or you need to use a supported OS (like Linux as a last resort). If fastboot isn't working, you either aren't going into it correctly (which you said you have) or your phone's fastboot is broken (in which case I guess you could try a RUU).
Note: do not flash a Froyo RUU on a phone running GB.
Another note: I strongly advise that if you ask for help in the future, you put details on all the things you've tried in your OP all at once. Then you get a faster answer because there is less back-and-forth.

Never ran an RUU. Might try that. And no it Hasn't

Your bootloader may be too old to unlock. What does hboot say? What RUU did you run?

It's a 2.0 HBOOT.

There is no 2.0 hboot. It could be 2.00.0029, in which case you can unlock it, or 2.00.0027, in which case you need to make a goldcard and update the hboot with a newer RUU (unless there is a newer RUU made for your phone, in which case you don't need a goldcard). There are more specific instructions around here somewhere, but you will need to search for them.

S-On Problem

Hey guys,
I have an unlocked At&T M8 which I'm currently using in the UK, but for some reason won't receive OTA updates (still stuck on 4.4.3). HTC Sync doesn't seem to work either, with it stuck on 'loading data'. So I stupidly decided to flash a rom without backup...
Since my hboot is still 3.16, WiFi doesn't work on any with any of the roms i have flashed. Is there anything I can try to at least get the WiFi working without paying $25 for sunshine? I can't seem to find a rom that supports 1.x firmware; if anyone could point me in the direction that would be awesome.

Run the AT&T RUU. Personally, I would gain S-Off and convert to WWE/Europe. But the RUU is your best second option.
You can find the RUU and instructions on how to update your system manually on the official US HTC website. Link here.
Realize that RUNNING THE RUU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!!! So make sure to backup anything that is important to you.

Thank you, however HTC sync doesn't work so I downloaded the RUU from the link. The installer automatically shuts off after I accept licensing (I have relocked bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode). The only PC in my house is running windows 8.1 :crying:
I even tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235, but windows won't let me open the rom.zip. Is there another way to flash the RUU on to my phone?
Also, do I need to download a recovery image if I'm using the RUU?

Its a somewhat common issue. Might be the Win version, or USB 3.0 ports. If your PC has USB 3.0 ports, I saw a user mention you can turn off this function (make them 2.0) and that seemed to help the RUU.
Otherwise, you might need to borrow a friend's PC.

Thank you for the help. I got the RUU to work on a computer running Windows 7.
I know I have to relock the bootloader to have the RUU work, but the computer, and thus RUU, doesn't detect my phone in fastboot after relocking my bootloader. Fastboot displays 'fastboot USB', but the RUU doesn't detect anything. Before relocking, the computer detected my phone.
I have installed the latest HTC sync manager, so all the drivers should be installed.

I can't tell if you are asking for more help, or just making a comment (and the RUU ran successfully)?
Having the bootloader locked, relocked or unlocked should have no bearing on whether fastboot connects or not. I think something else is/was going on, and the bootloader lock is just a false symptom/condition.
