my wife just got her htc one x today. opened it up, turned it on.....phone turned off while she was putting in her account details. when turned back on its stuck on the boot screen and saying its for developers only. any way to fix this? when plugged in theres no charging light or anything. please help
anyone? really wanna know if i'll need a replacement before i've even got to use it
Press and hold the power button and volume button till you get to the hboot screen. Tell me what it says there, either 'locked,' 'relocked,' or 'unlocked.' And whether it says S OFF or S ON below it. Tell me this and I'll tell you how to fix it

When there is a saying for developers only in red color, it means that One X is not a brand new, someone already unlock the bootloader and flash an old version of CWM on it. It is best to get a replacement if you meant to buy a brand new device.
And it get stuck on boot screen due to low battery.

Or, it could be that the person relocked the bootloader while on a custom ROM. But like the OP said, it randomly rebooted, WHILE it was being used. @OP, try running an RUU after checking if the bootloader is locked/relocked

Is it brand new?

sorry for late replies guys. yes to confirm it was brand new, just out of the box for a minute, bought from dial a phone in the uk which is a big retailer. it came sim free as most of their phones do. Simply opened the box, turned on and it turned off during the input of details, ie our wifi password to be exact.
After that came the red writing with developers only, now nothing. been on the charge all day, still no charging light. tried the wall socket, tried via usb to 2 pc's, and the volume/power thing doesn't work either. how long should we need to hold it to do that?

Hold volume down and power for about 10-15 secs.

Hold power and volume down for a while, phone will boot into bootloader, what does it say exactly?
Sounds like you may have got a test device by accident, not necessarily a bad thing if you plan to custom rom?

tried it guys for 15 secs at least with no joy. seems to be dead. no charging light. seems quite a few people have seen the red writing. not into custom roms really as it'll be for my wife and she likes stock.

Oh, so its not booting into bootloader because batterys dead xD
Power the phone off, plug it into a wall charger, and leave it for atleast a few hours, it'll charge, and then boot it into bootloader and tell us what it says

First off let me just say, I already know this is most likely a full brick with no chance of recovery.
Anyway, when my sister got a G2 a while back I perm-rooted and s-off'd it for her. I later flashed the CM 6 RC and that's what she's been on this whole time.
Apparently her new boyfriend is "tech savvy" and has the same phone, so he asked if she wanted to be updated to CM 7 and gave it a shot without letting me know first.
He bricked it, I'm almost certain of it. He said he tried to update it to the newest radio via adb and got an error saying something like "memory is full" or "cant write, no more space" or something like that. He then turned it off so he could "try again", but from then on it wouldn't turn on anymore -__-
I know that a bad radio flash leads to a brick so I'm guessing there's nothing i can do for her, but I've never bricked any of my devices so i thought i'd ask to be sure. As of right now, when i press the power button the screen stays off. No images, no lights, no nothing. I've tried holding the power button + volume down/up and nothing. It simply does nothing. The charging light still turns on if i plug it into the wall charger but nothing happens when i connect it to a computer.
Is there anything I can do to help her besides telling her to get a new one?
Sounds like a brick to me, did he try flashing the ENG. Hboot ? If he screwed something up while doing this the result would be exactly what you are describing.

have you tried pulling the battery then re-seating it and booting into recovery?
Also take out battery and hold power as you put battery back in. Worth a shot

If its a brick you might as well use it for some good (Y)

he has the same phone right... TO ME what i see is... her boyfriend has a new bricked g2... and you sister has a new g2 with CM7 installed on it... so much for tech savvy... if i remenber right the best and only way to flash radio is through fastboot..

This guy has it right your sister has a new G2 with cm7 and he has nice expensive paper weight tell him thats what he gets for ****ing with stuff he knows nothing about
My LEDs don't even lit up when I plug it into the wall charger. Into the PC neither. I do get a hardware detected notification though, but Windows 7 isn't able to find the correct driver (for a what's apparently called QHSUSB_DLOAD). I have all HTC and Android drivers installed since I have the Android SDK and HTC Sync+drivers installed.

I never heard of doing this before, what does this do. Note my phone is working, but I don't try thing blindly, so I won't be doing this.

Yesterday, I downloaded the 4.0.4 OTA update and opted to install it. My phone was fully charged and plugged in to the charger. It is now stuck on a screen that is mostly black, with a little icon in the center (three green arrows, like a recycling or refresh icon, hovering slightly above a shadowy image of a phone)
It had been like this for an enormously long time when I left the office, last night. This morning, the screen was off and the LED was green but pressing the power button simply returned the black-screen-with-central-refresh-like-icon... and the LED went red.
What can I do?
I have made no attempt to root the device or mess with it in any way, since it is fairly new.
Unplug the charger

Ok - charger unplugged.
Now what? Wait for it to run out of battery and restart it in a day or so?
Re-run the OTA, it'll work now
EDIT: EddyOS beat me to it
sent from my One X using xda venom premium
Aside: Why doesn't it instruct you to unplug the charger before running the OTA in the first place? In fact, it tells you to ensure the phone is at least 35% charged... which, to me, is like a big flashing banner in all-caps instructing you to plug IN the charger before updating.
Back on topic: I have unplugged the charger and the phone is still stuck at the black-screen-with-central-refresh-like-icon. I'd gladly re-run the OTA... but how? Also, How can I reboot the phone to install an RUU since it has no removable battery or reset button as far as I can tell?
Also, which RUU? I am in South Africa and the phone comes from a local network, MTN. It is not carrier branded. It is black and GSM.
My previous phone was the original desire and I rooted that, turned S-OFF, loaded a bazillion ROMS over the 3 years during which I used it. I am quite happy to use tools like fastboot and other SDK tools. It never gave me ANY problems. Not once.
Hold the power button for about 10 seconds to force the hox to reboot.
If it reboots the ota should work without it being plugged in to the charger, if not to find the right ruu you need to know what your cid is and what software version you were already on

Holding power button... ooh. This looks promising...
Here's hoping lol

Ok. Holding the power-button to restart the phone caused the OTA to start from scratch - it seems to have worked. Thank you, all!

Hi to all!
I've got a big big problem here..I've already read another post,where a guy sayed that his desire is dead..but I want to ask for some help anyway..so..my desire was working good..no problems..aokp rom,rooted,s-off,latest radio exc exc..everything was working fine until tonight,when I,as usually as anybody does,push the power button to wake up the phone,'cause I needed to send a message..and I discovered that the desire was off..battery was 95% the last time that I checked..and I know that soft reboot and anything else could occur..so,I tried to switch it on with the power button..but no response..linked with the charger,no orange charging led..Tried to remove the battery,and put it in again..no response..what can I do?please help,'cause I haven't got money to buy another phone now!
Can you get into hboot?

No,I can't..it still be dead
try a different battery if u can, if that dont work then its probably dead. Same happened to mine, my phone was charging and i dropped it then it never turned back on (it didnt brake from dropping it, overheated while charging)
i'll try the original one..'cause i bought a while ago a mugen power battery bigger than the stock one....but the mess is that i haven't done anything to the phone..it simply "suicided" himself!that's weird!

Your motherboard might be roasted.
I actually just came to make a thread, about the exact same problem I cant turn my desire on charging doesn't respond tried a new battery at a store. Prior to this happening I was at a beach and my phone took a dip for 10 seconds, phone never stopped working the led light was red from there on worked for at least a month or so after before this.
I was thinking it was connected to that but maybe not, I was wondering if maybe the phone some how bricked. It's a silly question but I shall ask any ways is there any possibility of restoring stock ruu via the computer? I'm no expert on that guess the phone wouldn't be detected tho.
The only thing I can make the phone do is occasionally when holding the power down the phones gets stuck vibrating till I pull the battery.

You can't flash a RUU without the phone booting in hboot.
Oh well thanks, I wonder how common it is for phones to just die. My general thinking was so long as I didn't drop it or the beach lol it would last ages which it did, previously had a iphone 3g which apples updates killed the wifi then the battery died, now I'm torn between the LG Optimus 4X HD or a Ipod Touch 5th gen, actually this seems really good value for money BWC Thunderbolt Dual SIM which is available on mobicity.c0m.a-u It's kinda like dunno Chinese generic brand running Jellybean 4.1.2 only reason I probably wouldn't buy it probably wouldn't ever be rooted or updated by manufacturer otherwise I would get it

You wanna buy an iPod????????? Seriously?????????????
Well I'm not all to caught up in the one or the other boat all seem to get aboard on, I already brought a new phone average. I was looking to buy a ipod bare amount I was willing to spend just for getting on the net when out music games reading then figured 4.7 inch to 5 inch screens would be better for reading, and there's only one or two other options in that price range. Dunno if I will or wont now but I was recently looking at ubuntu for phones which may be out end of year or next year, seems interesting going to have to wait to see how that unfolds

Hi guys,
My HTC One X shut off yesterday mysteriously and won't turn on, there is also no red light when plugged into a charger, the phone just seems to be dead. I have tried to hold the volume down button and the power button for up to two minutes and nothing happens to reset it! Please help if you can, thanks in advance!
try with some other a/c adapter, or just other usb cable.
I tired changing adapters and the cable but no luck.

This seems to be all too common and I wonder why HTC hasn't had some sort of recall issued for this? I must say though that I called htc today and they were very pleasant to deal with, I am shipping the phone off to them tomorrow for repairs and will report back on how it goes.

Trying to install a new ROM on my Verizon HTC one, I went to flash a new recovery. Booted to fastboot, flashed recovery with an image and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. The phone vibrates then the screen comes on. It shows the standard HTC splash, my computer makes the USB connected sound, then disconnected sound. Then the screen goes off.
I have tried to hold power and volume down. It doesn't change the behavior of the phone.
Any thoughts? What can i do if i cant get into fastboot?

You should still have your bootloader. Hold power and volume until it comes up. Even during the bootloop.

Thats the thing, Ive held power and volume (tried top, tried bottom, tried both) for 2-3 minutes at a time. No difference or change. the battery died from the loop. Now when i plug it into a power supply, it automatically starts the bootloop again.
I had the same problem happen to me.
I searched around everywhere for a solution. If you couldn't get it into bootloader again there isn't much to do.
I returned mine into verizon and got a new one the next day.
if you cant get to bootloader i hate to say it your stuck
I would keep tryng to boot to bootloader a bunch of times might get lucky and have it go in other than that if you cant get into booloader there is nothing you can really do ill do some looking around for ya but dont get hopes up
just found this maybe will help
leave the phone charging for at least 10-15 min on the AC adapter. press and hold both vol buttons then press and hold power for 2+ minutes. after 2 minutes, let go of all buttons except volume down.
