[Q] I bricked my One X

Hi there,
I have recently bricked my HOX by trying to install the latest BinDroid ROM.
I did root the device properly and I dont know what went wrong during the ROM installation.
Short story; the device stuck on bootloop and now runs out of juice. Is there any way to get it back to work or I just have to send it to HTC for repair.

What exactly did you do and when did it fail.

If you have flashed the most recent recovery you can charge in recovery, I would suggest plugging in.
Turn on by holding power + volume down
If you get the white hoot screen go into recovery and leave it to charge.
Your rom is probably bootlooping because you didn't manually flash the boot.IMG that came with the Rom in fastboot

The problem is, I already relocked my HOX to install stock RUU, but the power is less than 30%.

Ok. I have done this in the past.
Plug phone in to wall
Power on.
Choose power off.
Phone will reboot
Repeat process many times.
While the phone is rebooting it is actually charging for a few second
You may have to do this quite a while to get above 30 %
Once there unlock and boot into recovery so you can charge to full
Learn the lesson and don't play with low battery

Thanks, will try to do that..

I'm in recovery now, using 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'...
Should be fine right?:good:

Yes. That version will allow you to charge.
Then its just getting a Rom working

Hey I know you've already got it to charge but for other people's information according to the wiki and further to the other users comment you could leave the screen on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and it would still continue to charge although it doesn't appear to be. It really is.
Dno if you've fixed it but now you need to try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot.
I hope to god you've got one of those on the root of your phone storage, otherwise your last resort is a ruu :thumbup:

Once in recovery should I charge it on the computer or on the wall plug?

I did tried to charged on the 'HTC quietly brilliant screen' before but it takes a lot of time since the phone keeps on to restart, just wanna see iv charging on recovery is better.
and forgive me I'm a noob but what do you mean by 'try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot'

It's okay, everyone starts somewhere and i don't pretend to be a professional but i'll try help. And yeah the HTC quiterly brilliant screen was just incase you didn't have enough charge to enter fastboot
Basically a nandroid back up is a back up file created by a custom recovery (e.g. Clockwordmod), this backs up EVERYTHING, your whole system and rom (it's important to do these before flashing custom roms, incase anything goes wrong). But anyway, i doubt you've done that so moving on.
Basically our HTC one x's cannot be S-off at the moment, so because of this we only have access to certain parts of the system and boot files.
You need to find the rom you put on your HTC One X and put it on your computer (or download it from somewhere). Unzip it and find the boot.img. This process is sort of like the one where you unlocked your bootloader.
You need to plug your phone into the computer which has SDK tools and everything installed and enter CMD - and put your phone into fastboot usb mode.
Assuming you followed HTC dev method you'd copy the boot.img out of the rom folder you unzipped earlier and place it in C:/Android
Open command prompt (windows) or the linux/MAC variant
and type the following
cd C:/Android
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img for your rom
then type
fastboot erase cache (i think)
and reboot your phone through the bootloader. It should now boot.

glad to hear good news my friend..and a new update should be tonight or tomorrow with a new ARHD

have read the ARHD 7.2.0 latest feedback, and tried to flash 7.2.0 over the 7.1.0 w/out Superwipe but stuck on HTC One screen.
Now i restore back my ARHD 7.1.0..
Once the 7.2.1 version out, can I flash it without flashing 7.2.0.

Desire boot loops and I can't get into recovery

I've been happily running CM7 for the past year and yesterday while I was browsing the phone suddenly turned off and starts bootlooping, I then tried to get into recovery to flash one of my backups but I couldn't get into recovery anymore. I can get into the bootloader (vol down, back and power key) but if I select recovery from the menu it starts bootlooping again. I was hoping someone knows what's going on.
I used revolutionary to root the phone, had clockworkmod recovery installed (don't think it was the latest version, haven't updated it since I've installed it a year ago) and was running CM7.2 (latests stable version).
I also apologise in advance because you guys must be sick of people asking what to do with a 'bricked' phone but I'm still hoping someone can help me.

You have the explanation how it all works in my signature.
Just flash recovery.img via fastboot.

Thanks for the post, I'm guessing you mean the third link? running the RUU? in that thread there is a link 'http://htcdev.com/' but that link is dead.. so I can't get it there but I will google around to see if it's somewhere else.

Not sure what link you said is dead, they all work. I meant on this one "Before Crying for Bricked Device - How Nexus One and HTC Work ".
All you need is recovery.img download it from here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
and flash it via fastboot.

Both your ROM and recovery are bootlooping. But importantly your bootloader is fine and therefore you can easily recover. First get your recovery in order by flashing recovery from fastboot. Thereafter when you are able to get into recovery flash your ROM in the normal manner or restore your nandroid.

Thank you both! I flashed the recovery.img and could get into the recovery mode again! it's restoring my last back up as we speak, so hopefully it's working again.

If it all work go here:
www.4ext.net
and get rid of that buggy cwm recovery.

Well.. today it started bootlooping again in the same way as described in the first post and now the method I used yesterday to fix it doesn't work anymore. If I flash a new recovery.img now and subsequently try to go into the recovery mode it starts bootlooping again... so now I'm wondering if I should just flash the RUU via pc to at least get my phone working again... do you guys think that would work?
edit: can I even run the RUU in fastboot usb?

RUU is the solution if all else fails. But only use 2.3 Android RUU. And remember to downgrade hboot first.
Before you get into that I would try :-
- Flash a different recovery and try to get into recovery. But this time dont restore your nandroid. Flash a ROM afresh.
- Remove your sdcard and try to get into recovery. Wild guess !
- Also try formatting your system, sdext etc partitions as given in Bortaks thread.

I tried flashing a different recovery (amon ra) but that also didn't work, when I tried to get into recovery mode it got stuck on the HTC boot screen (with some weird extra lines through the image).
I will try to remove the sd card.
Another weird observation, the phone doesn't seem to be charging anymore, at least... the led doesn't turn on when it's plugged in.. it get's weirder and weirder.

like handy says full wipe, wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik and format all partitions except sdcard then do a clean install of a different rom. restoring the nandroid, u could just be restoring the problem.
edit: just read ur post bout charging, looks like HW not rom or recovery problems
Sent from my HTC Desire

yeah but the weird thing is that this started this morning, I charged it last night (when all of this stuff was already happening).

Run 2.3 ruu as fast as you can, you're on a good way to hboot or radio brick.

Well.. the RUU worked, I'm back on sense (ugh).. but at least it's working again.

Cant get back into Clockwork Recovery

Hi. i tried to install maximus new 3.2 rom and after i installed from zip and rebooted my phone, my phone is stuck on the htc logo white screen and keeps rebooting!
i tried to go back to recovery and it doesnt work now! the phone goes into a black screen then reboots again!

try in fastboot mode fastboot erase cache .
you posted in wrong section

Don't forget to reflash kernel modules incase you are using a custom kernel and if you need to reflash the recovery in fastboot make sure your battery isn't below 10% else fastboot won't allow you to flash it.

I have the same problem. The solution is simple: Flash the default recovery then re-flash the clockworkmod recovery again and then try.

You mention which rom you installed and that you flashed the zip file but don't mention that you did a wipe before this (depending on which rom you were previously on) or that you flashed the boot.img file via fastboot first.
PS! There's a section specifically for Q&A and these types of posts should go there are not to be posted in the dev section. Hopefully some kind mod will move it, but I guess you have a few answers by now.

You haven't flashed the boot.img if your phone keeps rebooting.
Also - you've posted this in the wrong section, this is a development section only.

HTC Hangs at 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' after flashing boot.img

Hi everyone,
I have tried to install a jellybam rom for my One X, and read you need to flash the boot.img after flashing the rom due to S on for my phone. I flashed the boot.img via command prompt on my PC as required, however when i rebooted my phone, it's stuck at the 'Quietly Brilliant' screen. I tried to do a restore from the backup of my previous rom ( Android Revolution sense) but it still does the same thing.
Wondering what I need to do to get it working again, appreciate if anyone can guide me through, never got this before.

Err please go make your own thread and don't try to hijack mine, the issue you have and I are both completely different.

Re: HTC Hangs at 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' after flashing boot.img
To fully restore the backup, you need to flash the boot.img in the backup.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Was trying to install the JellyBam rom. So was coming from a Sense based rom to a non Sense based rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042751&highlight=jellybam
and coming from HTC revolution, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I guess I flashed the boot.img incorrectly? I'm keen to know what I did wrong or what went wrong, I followed the steps when I used HTC revolution which managed to bring back my rom and managed to get out of the hanging/loop of the 'quietly brilliant' part and restored a backup with no issue.

so you...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then rebooted, went into recovery, and went to wipe and wiped factory rest, dalvik cache, cache, and system then backed up went install and installed rom?
Did you use the boot.img from the rom you're trying to flash?
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
Oh, you didn't happen to update to the ota jelly that just came out, did you? that will mess up jellybam install bc jelly is based on cyan I believe and not on sense. Try viper xl, it's really good and will work if you ota'd.

[Q] One V Won't boot/stuck in a boot loop

Hi! All my problems became today, when I decided to root that samsung ROM. I used evervolv (old version) I red the instructions and I flashed kernel and boot.img with the htc one V all-in-one toolkit. It said that: "boot.img flashed" I was like: nice, and continued, did full wipe, and wiped cache then I flashed ROM and update. I tried to boot, but it did not boot. After waiting for about an hour I decided to do something. I was able to get to fastboot, and I flashed boot.img manually trough adb and fastboot, did everything like before, and still no boot.
I decided to try some else rom, because I have SD- card reader in my laptop. I putted sphongle to SD- card and I was able to get to fastboot, flashed boot.img, and flashed ROM. Phone was not able to boot, and it just got stuck in a boot loop. I tried samsung again, and now I can only get to recovery or to the white HTC- screen, that has text about build being for developement purposes only. Does anyone have any ideas how-to get my phone back to life, or is it totaly dead? Answes appreciated =)

Are you flashing correct kernel check that first.
sent from HOV
powered by sphongle 4.2.2

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that I flashed right kernel, but now I can't get to fasboot screen. Only to ClockWork mod recovery. When I boot device, and press vol. down, and power, it always goes to recovery, or if I start to press those buttons a bit later, it only goes to that white HTC screen with red text. =(
E: After a while phone turns screen off, vibrates, and makes the screen again, so some kind of boot loop i guess?

Was able to get it into fastboot. I flashed kernel and boot.img, those that came with shpongle. Then I did all the wipes and flashed the ROM. Still nothing. Goes into that same screen, and loops there.
