You cant get S-OFF yet ... just unlock bootloader ans thats all you need to flash custom ROMs (just flash a custom recoery like this one)

S off is unavailable, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can still root or flash custom roms

I think you just screwed yourself. Its a manufacturing defect and you need to get your phone repaired at HTC. But since you unlocked it, HTC would most possibly blame it on your custom rom and make you pay for the repairs (A new mainboard of course would be part of the repair, and that isn't cheap).
Here's a few tips for you:
1) If the phone has problems, look for HTC first (Or if your phone is still less than 1 week old from when you purchased it, get the phone exchanged for a new phone at where you purchased it)
2) If HTC is unable to repair/fix the problem, get the phone returned to where you purchased it (Make sure you get back your money!) and buy a different phone
3) DO NOT flash custom roms if you already know your phone has problems - that will just void your warranty and you'll be screwing yourself.
4) Before you attempt a unlock at htcdev.com , make sure your phone is 100% operational, no broken stuff, errors, etc as once your phone is unlocked/has a custom rom, your warranty is as good as void.
5) S-OFF is yet to be available for the HTC One X (International Tegra 3 version - Quad Core processor), however, the U.S (Snapdragon S4 version - Dual COre processor) has S-OFF available. DO NOT attempt to use the S-OFF method for the Snapdragon version on the Tegra 3 version as it will not work, and possibly damage your phone.
6) Unlocking your phone at htcdev.com is not S-OFF, but it allows your phone to use custom roms but would also void your warranty on all software-related problems.

that should get you started, it did it for me!
However...seems you don't have a ROM.zip on your SD card, right?
Which CWM did you flash on your HOX? How much battery have you left?
With the latest CWM touch it is possible to mount the SD card, also, the HOX is charging while in CWM.
In case of the latest CWM you should be fine, then.
Follow the steps in the thread up there first, to create your FASTBOOT folder on c: just to make sure you have all stuff at the right place.
Can you still go into your bootloader? (Press and hold VOL - and then press POWER shortly...while holding VOL - until booatlader pops up)

As i got to know i did not used the lastest recovery img.

Phew ! my head and heart was nearly out , As i just bought this HOX yesterday.

Hey,
I'm trying to fix a wildfire for a family member, I've full wiped and reflashed the RUU. It's on hboot .01.
The phone boots up but it takes a long time, it eventually reaches the lockscreen and the whole phone is unresponsive. Eventually the display dims and after even more time it just reboots.
My plan was to s-off, install custom recovery and flash any custom rom to see if it fixed the issue. Unfortunately the revolutionary tool will not recognise the phone. Nor will unrevoked.
Any suggestions on the matter would be fantastic.
Cheers

well it really depends what you have access to to be honest. you can try to factory reset the device via the bootloader and see if makes any difference to the lag/ any bootloop issues. if you can get access to a xtc clip you can hardware s-off without revolutionary. the add a custom recovery via pc49img.zip method to the bootloader and then your on for custom roms. several small phone unlocking shops have xtc clips and will sell "unlocks" for a much better price than buying the device outright (which i do not recommend as its a LOT to only use once ) But, and xtc clip would solve your issues within 10 minutes
so it depends on what you have access to

thanks for the reply...yeah I've factory reset it via bootloader (as i cannot get past the lockscreen) but to no avail..not sure i'd want to spend any money using the xtc method...I wonder, perhaps unlocking via htc dev and adding custom recovery image..i wonder..

You could do that, but you would have to remembered that with s-on the recovery cannot flash the boot partition so after you install a custom rom you will have to reboot to bootloader/fastboot and fastboot flash the boot.IMG from your custom roms .zip file every time. Only this will avoid the.boot loops that would follow

i have the same problem, only the difference is that my phone have s-off; i tryed to reflash a fresh ruu (froyo), but still long boot and after, lockscreen freezed. what is that...?
Hi, I've got a Desire HD phone which I got unlocked and unbranded from the start and it came with some version of Froyo out of the box. Since then I've updated it through via wifi and currently it's on GB 2.3.5 and after the last update the phone has been telling me that it has no updates available. Furthermore, I have never flashed or rooted this phone so it's still a virgin
Further information on my phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.707.4
AND some pics of the specs are in the attachment, please check them out.
Now due to some performance issues I wanted to reinstall either 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo available for my phone. I have already tried restarting, taking out the battery, doing factory reset, wiping the phone and sdcard both from within the phone settings and from the HBoot and Recovery menu as well to no avail.
So I would like to ask you guys for steps and possible links to correct RUU for re-flashing the stock version of unbranded 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo. I don't want to mess with the phone too much by going into the rooting and installing custom ROMS just yet, but that would be my last resort if all else fails.
I'm a newbie so please be gentle in replies
Thanks in advance!
STOP STOP STOP DONT DO ANYTHING!
don't flash any froyo ruu or wwe this will mess your hboot and you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
If you've done a factory reset you shouldn't be having performance issues as that takes you back to factory condition of course.
How ever
Your first course of action now should be goto market and get emmc checker and see if you have the bad chips (sain I think).
If you dont have issue I suggest you do HTCDEV unlock and root your phone or flash a new rom, ive only used SVHD which is ics sense rom which is pretty damn awesome, but im moved on to samsung galaxy s4 (unrooted) now so haven't used newest version yet.
Have a look around the dev forum there are a few really good guides .
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I recommend getting s-off and unlocking the HBoot to get the best performance from your phone. I must say that this is not for the faint-of-heart and things sometimes can and do go wrong .
I bought a second hand Desire HD running stock Telus GB for very little money so I didn't have much to lose if I pooched the phone. If you do decide to unlock the HBoot, make sure you upgrade to 2.00.0029 first.
What performance issues were you having?

Ran that app and it says " Brick Bug? NO. Sane Chip "
So I'm guessing my phone is good, right?
I've been having some major bugs popping up on my phone ever since I upgraded to the 2.3.5 update. My phone camera gets stuck while taking pictures, at times it has restarted my phone when I take a picture, the GPS/Location keeps popping up at every boot and I can't seem to disable it, the Connect To Computer message which used to let me select in which mode I want to connect my phone to the PC has stopped showing up and the phone only connects in charging mode to the PC, the speaker phone keeps turning itself on whenever I make a call or receive a call. I've read up on all these bugs on many forums and tried all the solutions to no avail, I have already done factory resets, battery pulls, cleaning of the usb connector, tried different usb cables on different computers, formatted the memory card etc, but none of these things worked for me.
So I'm left with one choice only, that is to erase everything on this phone and flash a fresh ROM onto it to see if it fixes the issue. And just to be on the safe side I want to install anything lower than 2.3.5 since that's when all these bugs popped up one by one for me. And I don't want to root my phone just yet or unlock it or do any experiments with it yet.
So my question is, how do I backup my current ROM in case if anything goes wrong I could revert back to this one and then how do I flash an official earlier version of GB compatible with my phone and where to get this ROM. Since my phone came unbranded and unlocked, I'm assuming the WWE versions would work well for me right? I once saw in my phone somewhere that it told me I have htc_asia_WWE version on my phone, if that helps. But I would rather get an English only version which has no other language settings in it, like chinese, vietnemese etc etc which my phone currently has.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38947050&postcount=10
Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

I did get a RUU which meets my specs exactly, or so I think:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234022_signed.exe
I ran it, updated my phone, it's the same version which is already on my phone, it completed without any issues, but the bugs are still there. So I'm assuming it didn't really reinstall the software from scratch, it just updated the software without making much changes to it, pretty much like a factory reset, right???
Can you please tell me why we need to unlock the HBoot??? Is it to enable us to flash custom roms???
What I want to do is erase the 2.3.5 GB software completely from my phone so it has no trace of it, then install stock/untouched 2.3.3 GB or any other GB version compatible with my phone. So please provide steps and insight into this process.
Thanks

Updated and unlocked my Hboot and now it's on 29 with S-Off.
I flashed CWM recovery, installed SuperUser and flashed the latest version of SVHD and rebooted but phone won't start, after the HTC logo with a white background, the screen goes black as if the ROM can't boot.
Could this be a SuperUser issue or a S-Off issue? I'm not sure if SVHD requires S-On to function properly and it's nowhere mentioned on the thread either.

Did you do full wipe before flash?
Apparently you really should be using 4ext recovery on dhd as clockwork doesnt quite do the job right?.

Choose full wipe in aroma installer. i recommend you to used SVHD 1.70 then upgrade OTA 1.73. does not flash version 1.74. this got so much error.

Flash 4ext, wipe everything and reflash 1.7.0, and then update to 1.7.3.CWM never wiped my partitions properly, it blows compared to 4ext.
Right, as this is my first post i come here with major problem with my HOX (european version), after i updated my phone to the latest android 4.2.2 things suddenly went downhill - The phone is in pristine condition and nothing has been tampered with after i purchased it 9 months ago, but now it doesnt want to work when required, sometimes when i try to unlock it (something around 7-10times) the screen is stil black and i cannot do anything on it, the softkeys light up as normal but stil nothing happens, that forces me to reboot it completely (ive tried factory reseting a few times but that doesnt change anything) and sometimes the screen when im using it goes total tivoli on me, ive yet to send it in for service as it takes a whole century for the techies to even look at the phone and i need the phone for my daily work. Im not a avid programmer that wants to screw around with my phone so i got sent here by a friend to ask for help. Currently the problem seems to be the update that renders my phone useless.
If anyone can give me either pointers on how to do a complete wipe of the phone so i can either reinstall the software it came with or a fix for the 4.2 madness that has occured i would give you my kidney and babies.
Sincerly, pissed of guy that wants his phone to work.
Well hello there ""pissed of guy that wants his phone to work
SO here is the deal,
You'll most likely need to reinstall the ROM, and there are a couple of options...
First of all, make sure you have the international version, code-named endavorU and not the evita...
To do that you'll need to go into the bootloader. Power off the device, wait a couple of seconds, then hold the volume - and power button and don't let go until you are in the bootloader.
Now read the first line...
If you are endeavorU, than continue reading...
You can start by unlocking your bootlaoder with the official method (htcdev.com)
Once that is done download this all-in-one kit... For the HTC ONE X
Now you'll need to flash a custom recovery...
Go to the clockworkmod website and download their CWM Touch 5.4.8.0 recovery, and flash it using the kit.
Now boot into recovery (first into booloader, and then choose recovery) and do a factory reset and data wipe... also do a dalvik cache wipe in the advanced section and reboot... if it now works fine than good, if not, continue reading...
Now go into bootloader, and select fastboot...
go into the data folder of your aio kit and while holding shift right click on the empty space, and choose open with command prompt...
then type in
fastboot oem readcid
IF you have a WWE cid go here and download the odexed rom, recovery, and boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
and flash them...
flash the odexed.zip with recovery,
and the two .img files using fastboot commands...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
you'll need to place both boot and recovery img into the data folder of the kit for it to work

Actually even getting into bootloader is a process that makes me more furious, since the graphics are bugging their ass of whatever i do. The version is endavorU so thats settled. However my only fear is that i potentially brick my phone or lose the warranty by unlocking since the thirdpart here is really nazi on that stuff from previous experiences.

On stock, there is not much beyond the factory reset that can be done from the user end.
Return it for repair! That's what the warranty is for, let HTC deal with it.
And DO NOT unlock the bootloader and flash anything because it does void the warranty and HTC are under no obligation to fix it.
Yes, sending it in is your best bet
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Thats what my conclusion was after doing some extensive googling, i dont want to tamper with stuff that might void my warranty. Thanks anyway.

Update: As the shops here in my town actually dont take phones from the place i bought it in for service, im gonna do it myself and take the risk of a potential bricked phone. Currently i have no other option than DIY fixing.

Just one more thing...
I said that you should install a certain version of CWMT, but it doesn't matter, just make sure its the latest one.
Also I see there is no link to the All-in-one kit I mentioned so here it is: http://www.hasoon2000.info/getdownload.php?file=One X (International)/One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.5.rar
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.

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.
Hey guys,
After getting overwhelming reading on forums only to get my self confused at the end. Most threads I came across is last edited in 2016. Therefore I am little skeptical about moving forward.
Bottomline problem, Phone is fully working with PixelExperience ROM installed ( Clean flash) at the moment. BUT IT DOES NOT DETECT SIM CARD.
Model : HTC 10
Android Version : 9
Kernel Version : 3.18.120-IceMan-CAF-LA.UM.7.5
The phone was bought unlocked from HTC.
I have bootloader unlocked, but S-on.
TWRP version 3.3.1 (as of July 22-2019)
Upon reading many thread, It boils down to that I need to RUU in order to get my radio back working. (SIM card detection)
now RUU will not work unless I have S-off, in order to get S-off in need to pay sunshine fee.
Now sunshine needs device to be rooted.
My device is never rooted before, now rooting device has choices, something called SuperSu or Magisk etc.
this is where I am super confused.
I need help before I move on.
My understanding is
step 1: root the device as I already have bootloader unlocked. and TWRP installed and working.
Step 2 : get the S-off by paying sunshine fee
Step 3 : RUU the zip to go back to stock!! ( here also one more question , my kernel is already latest what does RUU do? will it downgrade? )
Step 4 : insert sim and use the Phone as intended !!!(lol)
Please help, I am having nightmare.

Do you see it say FIRMWARE.. that's not an ruu.
Firmware is a way of updating from say N to P without needing to flash entire ruu.
Firmware is in the ruu along with system, boot, recovery..

3.16.617.2 = us unlocked
Simply find the 3.16.617.2 RUU and flash it.
Here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850487062
This will wipe internal storage..
How to install:
Option 1 - PERSONALLY SUGGESTED
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

Respected Andybones,
I cannot thank you enough sir. After struggling for almost 48 hours. reading a lot threads. Sleepless nights. Finally my Phone is Back to Stock!!
(I am certainly hoping that it would now see the SIM card. I have to go to At&t store tomorrow to get my IMEI into their system.)
I just want to borrow your brain for few more questions.
I noticed that I am on Android 8 now.
Does this mean, My bootloader is locked again? TWRP is gone?
Can I install custom ROM?
Finally, what caused such issue? I do not understand what happened?
If you own HTC 10, what rom do you recommend? I used LinageOS.
Let me know,
Sincerely,

You're so very welcome.
Trust me, I know how tough it can be to fully understand an htc device and it's workings. Once you start to get into it like you have now, I'm sure you came out with some knowledge, so I'm more than happy to help.
I didn't realize you were still on Android 7. You're on 8 now because the RUU I gave you was android 8.(don't try and downgrade. You can but it's not as easy as flashing the android 7 ruu)
The ruu contains everything to make your device stock again, including stock system, stock kernel, stock recovery.
Flashing ruu doesn't touch an soff flag nor bootloader lock.(boot on into download mode and check it out). But even if it did lock it, which won't ever happen, you can always re-unlock bootloader.
It's only us Verizon users who suffer by blocking us from unlocking. NOT COOL VERIZON!!!
You just need to flash twrp again (get latest version), then flash roms as you desire.
I suggest any recent Pie rom. Thanks to dev Fagyi he has really made this phone great again. He maintains Stock lineage 16 is awesome, and theirs a few roms out based on his lineage, including my crdroidandroid rom. Also Fagyi has I think 2 roms based on AOSP rather lineage.
If you want Sense then LeeDroid is the ROM you want.
I'm actually not too sure what caused the sim issue unfortunately. I do have faith that att can get it going for you tmw. Fingers are crossed my friend.
Please keep me posted. :good:

Respected Andybones,
This is just an update. Please give me your input whenever u get a chance. Here is what happened.
My phone got back to stock succefully. I noticed it did not touch the bootloader. it was still unlocked. S-on. I successfully flashed TWRP again. All went well. Next day morning I was supposed to go to ATT store and get phone working. but I could not wait till morning. That night I flashed the phone with Pixel Experience again, as I thought my radio should be working now. ( I think I should have waited. Not sure why?)
So once again, I have perfectly working phone with Pixel Experience rom on it. but yet again it does not detect SIM card. The difference between stock and this rom is, STock was showing bars on top. at least detecting no cellular network. This is my uneducated guess!! lol
I am one-more time going to RUU with your zip. restore back to stock and shall see what happens. ( I know I should have waited before I flashed with PE)
Just to confirm and make sure.. I believe am currently on Oreo Firmware as the OS - 3.16.617.2 ( displays on download mode)
I think I should still be fine with the RUU zip you gave me.

Hey man, I don't think it's any issue you flashed pixel experience. You can always just reflash the ruu and get back to stock. Unfortunately, it could be a physical issue with the sim not getting detected but since stock showed bars, I think you need a new att sim card possibly.
But yes you may flash that same ruu and any that are x.xx.617.x and up. But I think the one I gave is the newest.
.617 refers to your device.
Mine for example (Verizon) is .605
Hope I've been of help. :good:

Your guess was right. Does not seem like ROM issue. It now seems like hardware issue. I may have missed to connect an antenna properly. Or Something got damaged. I cannot say for sure.
