HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?

How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?

I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?

the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/

It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.

I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

I tried the command again now and its done. Now i go to reboot in fast boot and do the same again. The step with SuperSU i didnt yet.

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

What do you mean to fl;ash as the recovery? Wasnt the command i did correct?
How i get backup? When i go to recovery under the fastboot goes to screen with the device and exclamation mark. How can i see my sdcard via usb on pc?
Sry for my question :/

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.

What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

The command you did was correct but you flashed the stock recovery, flash clockworkmod recovery to proceed.

I used that command fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
So i think i didnt something wrong.

I'm confused, earlier you said you flashed recovery-1-28.img
You're going to have to be clearer on what you write here.

Do that again.
Then:

Then boot into recovery and tell us what you get.

[Q] Proper procedure to update the HBOOT

Can someone just confirm that this is the correct process for updating the HBOOT on my HTC One X from 0.95 to 1.3x (I'm unsure about step 5 & 6)
1. Determine the CID of my phone using
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
The phone reports
Code:
cid: HTC__001
which according to this means it is a HTC-WWE.
2. Download the latest HTC One X ROM from HTCdev which is endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip
3. Copy the ROM to the phone
4. Relock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem lock
5. Go into fastboot mode and type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
6. Flash the new firmware using
Code:
fastboot flash zip endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip
On first time running the command will report FAILED, don't panic and just run the command again.
7. Reunlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
8. Flash a custom recovery using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. Download the CM10.1 ROM & extract the boot.img from the zip
10. Boot into recovery & install the ROM
11. Install the Google Addon
12. Boot into boot loader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and use fastboot to flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.
13. Use
Code:
fastboot erase cache
14. Reboot and enjoy

Warning
At 2 step, you have to donwload the zip from here and not the source of kernel!!!
And in 6 step you have to use: "fastboot flash zip "name_of_zip.zip"

Don't forget that you will have to unlock your bootloader at the end of all this (assuming you want to do that) and this will probably erase all your data again so back it up, including the SD card.

There is a firmware flashing tool in the development section that makes it easy!

I've found a post here which describes the procedure step by step.
UPDATE HBOOT FOR JB
1. You need your Unlock_bin from htcdev.com to re-unlock ur bootloader so please before u
proceed make sure u have this. Then reboot bootloader, and fire up CMD on your PC (start ->
execute -> cmd) and cd to ur fastboot directory
2. fastboot getvar cid or if it fails fastboot oem readcid will give u the cid of your phone
3. fastboot getvar version-main will give u ur actually RUU version
4. Now we have software version and CID. Time to get our RUU ->
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor
5. Download the RUU for ur Phone (u need a higher or equal version then getvar version-main
reported
6. Place the .exe on ur PC and now we will extract the .zip (the rom.zip what is known as the
RUU) out of the .exe
7. Follow this tutorial: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu to get
the .zip out of the .exe
8. rename the .zip to whatever u like and place it in the fastboot folder of ur pc
9. boot phone in bootloader
10. lock bootloader with fastboot oem lock
11. reboot bootloader, and fire up CMD on your PC (start -> execute -> cmd) and cd to ur
fastboot directory.
12. bring phone into RUU mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
13. fastboot flash zip rom.zip (u extracted and placed it before in ur fastboot folder)
14. In most cases this fails the first time. So redo fastboot flash zip rom.zip (this step costed me
2 hours because i didn´t know that)
15. boot into system when finished and if the version of the RUU isn´t allready on Jellybean
make all necessary OTA updates until u reach latest hboot (1.36, 1.39)
16. place the Unlock.bin which u got long time ago from htcdev.com (and hopefully u haven´t
lost it) in fastboot folder
17. reboot into bootloader
18. fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
19. Ur bootloader is unlocked again
20. Congratz... u sucessfully updated ur hboot

You can do as you described using the file I linked...
without use a ruu

Does that mean if you flash the exact matching cid file from your link you don't have to follow the steps above? re relocking the phone and unlocking etc?

Why the heck are you trying to flash the kernel source in fastboot? There are instructions everywhere and in none of them say that you must go near kernel source
If you just want to update Hboot:
1. relock bootloader 'fastboot oem lock'
2. check cid: fastboot getvar cidnum
3. download firmware.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
4. in fastboot mode, type: fastboot oem rebootRUU
5. flash the firmware.zip using: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
6. Reunlock your bootloader: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
7. reflash custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>
If you want to install ROM after:
8. flash boot.img of ROM
9. go to recovery and flash ROM
10. done

No.
You have to use this procedure, but whit the firmware.zip that you can found at the link i linked, and not whit kernel source.
If you see the OP, you can see that he want upgrade his hboot with kernel source, and he's wrong.
You have to use the firmware.zip that you can found at the link that i have linked.
All the rest of procedure is right

Managed it gents . Now on HBoot 1.39.0000 thank you very much for all your help. Really appreciated:good::good:

[Q] stuck on splash loop

Ok I've looked everywhere but can't find anything solid to help me.
I installed this
rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657
factory reset, put it on sd card, used TWRP to install from zip and install gapps, wiped cache, when I reboot it just loops the HTC splash
What have I missed out? I just can't work it out.
I can still use bootloader and twrp
I've also seen people say go into fastboot and type this and that, how do you type in fastboot?
Thanks in advance for any help

flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" and you should be fine
go into bootloader and connect your phone to your pc and your click fastboot in your phone and it should say FASTBOOT USB the just type the above in CMD
and one more thing your hboot must be 1.31 or higher

Have you repacked an AOSP kernel with the boot.img ??

How I can flash it manually?

Copy the boot.img to the same dir as the fastboot.exe file is. Point in the folder with the mouse and hold shift + click the right mouse button. Then select open command window here
Put the phone in the bootloader and type this in the command window :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)

*if i already am on a custom recovery, what do i re-name the file for the image (recovery.image?)
.blob is for switching from stock to custom recovery, yes?
where do i put the .image file (platform tools folder?)
and what command prompt the regular (Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?)
thank you.
