[Q] Hard Bricked One XT with broken HBOOT

Hello,
I have a One XT (s720t), the China Mobile carrier version of One X. After I installed CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5 and do a nandroid backup of the official rom, I flashed a custom rom. Everything went fine, the new rom worked properly except the mobile network(CMCC use it's own TDSCDMA network). So I tried to restore the original rom with CWM. Guess what? The game is up, rebooted and stuck at splash. It could not jump out of bootloop, power + volume down button did not bring me to HBOOT but reboot again which means I could not use fastboot to recover it!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone knows what's the problem? Thanks for any suggestion.:crying::crying::crying:

wrong forum ?
and the problem is that you didn't HOLD the power button and volume down properly

Hi Vcek, thanks for your reply. But I'm not a newbie for rooting devices and flashing rom. I do hold the power and vol down button properly just as I root it and use CWM to backup original rom before.

Try holding the power button until the phone shuts off. Them try again. or, try connecting your phone to ADB and running an ADB reboot recovery command

Thanks damastah, but such method doesn't work. Because:
1. hold power button just let it reboot again but not shutdown.
2. the phone could not recognized by my computer. So neither ADB nor fastboot can help it.

Install htc drivers and re flash the recovery... If fastboot doesn't work you are pretty much ****ed

Thanks matt!! As I mentioned before, I'm not a newbie. I guess my hox's hboot is broken, so no hboot no fastboot no adb no poweroff.......

Bricked? Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I was running AOKP 4.2.1 and tried to upgrade to AOKP D2TMO_JB_MR_1_build-3 using Goo Manager. I created a backup and tried flashing the new OS with GApps.
When I rebooted, I got the message that the 'Setup Wizard has crashed'. Unfortunately when I hit OK, it keeps looping and I can't get out. When I try again and reboot, I get the Google X and it is stuck there.
I can't seem to boot into TWRP to restore (tried Vol Up + Power and Vol Down + Power and Vol Up and Down + Power). Any thoughts?

It won't boot normally at all? Can you link me the rom directly that you flashed? I would assume a rom from them off their official Goo.im host would be safe, but errors can be made. If your computer recognizes your phone it can be saved.
Here is what I found http://goo.im/devs/aokp/d2tmo I wouldn't hesitate one bit to flash this, neither did 150 people, I'm curious as to what happened to your phone.

You also need to hold the center home button to enter recovery.

I got restored fine. Looks like the files have been deleted by Goo since the install worked as far as it was concerned. I think I will hold off on upgrading for a while.
BTW .. did AOKP stop development? Seems as if this new build was authored by someone else

Kasper quit devving for now as life got in the way... Jamison is starting to dabble and there is Bajee with rootbox which has Aokp inside with other options, I suggest his ROM for future nightlys and development

Could there be an issue if the phone, according to the build prop, is a Nexus? I've always wondered what would happen if I updated a ROM through GooManager while I'm cruising as a Nexus.

If going through goo it'll try and flash a recovery for the nexus, tell you nexus Roms are compatible for you, I think that's what happens. Why not just change it back to sgh T-999? And d2tmo within the build.prop.

That's what I was wondering. So, you might as well just reboot into recovery in the first place.

that and download from the site where you know you are getting d2tmo stuff.

How can i solved this?
My toughts go like in need the stock rom so i can install it whit cvm but where do i find it?

Whit best regards

You need to fastboot flash the ROM's boot.img. As every unlock thread says, you need to do so for every time you flash a ROM.

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.6.0 touch recovery

Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Same here. Woohoo!

YEA BUDDY! Worked perfect..... FYI at HTCdev select "All Other Supported Models" when selecting device. Just throwing that out there before the question is asked.

I'm assuming Sprint and VZW recoveries are different, correct?

Ok, Correct me if i'm wrong..
First i need to d/l twrp recovery.
Then I need to head to htcdev's site and unlock the device..
After that, I enter Fastboot by holding "Volume down+Power key" correct?
The last few steps im confused, I'm assuming it has to do with plugging phone into pc and doing commands? If at all possible, Can we get step by step on this part? Thanks!

thanks for this, took a little time to get it to work but it was because the phone would not connect to the computer in fastboot when connected to a usb3 slot. If you are having issues try switching to a usb 2 port. took me about a half hour to figure out that this was the problem lol. I am using windows 8.

I was quite the fan of your toolkit when I used the at&t One. It's quite a time saver, and recommend it for everyone. I'm certainly not a noob. I've been doing this since the HTC Hero, and I consistently find myself pulling up your toolkit rather than running adb scripts myself.
Thanks again, and highly recommended.
