help phone might be bricked

Hi,
I had my phone rooted, and the ClockworkMod recovery. I had the
[ROM]LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V2.1.0 installed and it was working fine. So i backed it up, and tried to install a new rom. I went for this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550602, the install process was almost done but i was given an error. So i reboot and went it, but the phone back non-functional.
This is written on the screen 'htc confidential 25970 ht23nw108266' and i can't seem to access recovery to restore my backup.
I am new with the whole rooting and flashing business.
Any help would be appreciated

Did u wipe everythin bef flashong new rom
Mod or Die

yes everything was wiped before the flash,
also i can't seem to do anything on the phone, reception does not work, nor does wifi.

You need to flash another Rom.
That one isnt working

I would do that, but i cannot enter the recovery, when i ever i press the power button to get into it, it just loads the phone up. I have tried it about 10 times. What else is there that i can do?

Go to settings > power and uncheck fast boot and power off and try again

tried it, still does not work.
I have also tried to reinstall a recovery, which went well. But it does not want to load

from fastboot
type
fatsboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader
try to enter recovery then

sorry but my knowledge on this is extremely basic,
when you say type, how do i do that? because all i can do on the fastboot menu is use the volume keys and the power button

I have also noticed that the phone doesnt seem to charge no more

You need to do some catching up. Install the android sdk, the htc drivers and use ADB from a command.prompt to carry out those commands. See the routing FAQ.

I have rooted it already, do i need to re root?

Do you know how to use adb via cmd?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

No i do not know how to use it, what is adb via cmd

Times like this is where its said you should read learn understand then so it again before you attempt to do this to your phone

With that said adb is via command prompt on your pc while your phone plugged it to pc

when you say your phone can't enter recovery,
what happens when from power off, you press power + volume down for 10 seconds? it should enter fastboot.
From there, choose recovery. It should then enter recovery.
If recovery reboots, then whats happened is that the cache is corrupt.
You'll need the ADB drivers installed and fastboot installed. Google this (seriously how did you not figure this out when you flashed your Leedroid the first time round) but as you've already done leedroid you should be good to go already.
- fastboot erase cache
then recovery will work, I had the same issue.

oh no, where as before it might of been bricked. It is now officially bricked. Phones does not turn on. I tried to do the above, and the battery was not zero i had about 40% left, but when it powered down i was unable to power it up, no matter what i did
So what possible things can i do to a bricked phone? Needless to say i have a secondary htc one x that is working fine, not sure how that might help, but am desperate at the moment.
Many thanks.

Just send it in to warranty, you may need to pay but at least you can have a working phone again.

Recovery Not Working? Phone Reboots Instead?

Hi,
I had a problem with my HTC One X after rooting and installing a custom rom.
Problem:
Attempt to reboot device into recovery mode (Clockwork)
Phone Turns off and begins restart
HTC logo and then vibration and the logo again and the device started normally without booting into recovery!
After hours of playing around and re-flashing recoveries and trying different recoveries the actual solution was very simple!
SOLUTION:
ENTER FASTBOOT MODE (hold vol down and power button and wait for white screen with colored text, then select fastboot with the vol keys and the power button)
ON PC:
run cmd
"cd c:/XXXXX" XXXXX is the location of your fastboot ADB folder
"fastboot erase cache"
.........
........
THEN once back in hboot i could access the CWM Recovery no problems and install my new ROM!!
if this helps anybody at all, please let me know

i have done it several times but i am sure this one matches my phone but....
i tried to erase cache it says command not allowed

I don't know huawei phones ! Don't know if it matches or not. Its clear that its def not a HTC one x ! Did anyone ever confirmed this working on a Huawei phone anyway ?
And a command not allowed indicates something is not unlocked, that error report on a genuine hox is because the bootloader is locked.

Stuck in hboot

Was just in the process of installing CWM after unlocking bootloader via HTCdev.
Had the HOX connected to PC while flashing via fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img"
Got a download fail message on the pc and now the HOX is stuck in HBoot.
It is s-on, hboot 0.95.0000.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Whether connected to pc or USB cable unplugged it is stuck in HBOOT, fastboot USB screen.
Does not respond to any pc commands, vol toggles or power buttons not working.
adb devices command gives me, no devices attached.
How do I sort this out?

U should rename recovery file to "recovery" so u get recovery.img only. Then use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Never heard that problem. First thing I can tell now is to unplugg device and try "power&volum-".
Or wait to discharge battery, then charge and start again.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod

Thanks, file was reneamed before the flash, sorry just posted the instructions from the cwm page.
I get no response from the device or any of the keys, whether plugged in or not. - Stuck at the HBoot screen, "fastboot USB" whether plugged in or not.
I guess I wait untill the battery goes flat. Who's idea was it not to have a removeable battery.
I have not seen this either having rooted three Desire's, three Desire HD's, two Wildfire S' & a couple of Sensations before this. I hope a haven't bricked my new HOX.

Keep your power button pressed at least 10 seconds.

Pull the wire and hold power for a while, the button lights will flash then it will kill the power, keep hold of power and volume down. Should open hboot down to fastboot plug in usb and try again, adb devices always shows blank for me on hox.
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If no response try fastboot or adb (can't renember) reboot bootloader
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.

Hboot usually locks if you enter an incorrect fastboot command.
Just keep holding power&vol down and it will reload and you can try again

boots to black screen after HTC logo

Hey guys, hoping someone can answer this because it's kind of a dire situation... but I was flashing a new updated Rom to my phone, specifically Blackout ICS INCREDIBLE V.3.1.0 and when using the aroma installer that comes with it from rrecovery, i decided not to do a full wipe because i already have blackout v3.0 so i thought it would just update the rom like usual. Anyways my problem is when i turn it on, after the HTC logo it just goes to a black screen and will not boot. Normally if I have a bad flash I just boot up the recovery but heres the catch... my volume down button doesn't really work.. fml
Is there a way to possibly adb push my phone without recovery? Because i cant get into recovery by holding power+down

See point 6 of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605720
You should be able to boot a recovery.img stored on your pc using fastboot if you can run fastboot commands from where you are.
Edit: easier method - if you can run fastboot commands then run fastboot reboot -bootloader. Use the vol plus key to navigate hboot.
Maybe a silly question but as the post below suggests have you tried pressing vol - really hard?

I had the same issue today and my dhd also has a damaged downbutton.
Anyway i removed the cover on the battery slot and clicked it only in the upper part to get the contact, after that i overpushed the downbutton and bootloader showed up!
Hope this could help u or someone!

HTC one x bricked need help...

I just flashed a arhd rom a kernel and InfinitySound mod and then my phone was stuck in the htc quietly brilliant screen...
The main thing is i can't even enter the bootloader with "vol+power down" help please...

Keep pressing the power button for more then 5 second and you will see the 3 buttons blinking. After that phone will restart and then press volume down to enter in hboot.
Then look on xda a tool with witch you will flash a stock kernel.
Perhaps this is the solution for you

i tried it, but no luck... it still boots into the htc quietly brilliant screen.

Hold the power button to force a reboot. As soon as your HOX powers off press and hold vol down, keep holding until you enter hboot. It might take a few attempts

First boot can take awial I don't think your stuck its just loading
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

It's stuck not loading because I have waited 10 hours already. Also, I keep trying to get it into boot loader , but to no avail... tried 30 times already...
Without getting into the bootloader, there's nothing I can do...

Does your phone keeps rebooting?
If so, it sounds like you haven't flashed the correct boot.IMG
You need to flash the correct boot.IMG that is for the kernel you flashed.
-----
As for boot loader, why don't you just use the adb command?
adb reboot bootloader
As for the button combination not working, you need to hold both power & volume down at the 'exact same time', and don't release them until your boot loader screen shows - even if it does an extra reboot, keep them held!

I am having the same problem, and i forgot to backup my previous rom. I rooted, and unlocked my phone, then i tried to install the rom, it installed. however now it just stays in the spinning loading sign for CM10. Is there anyway of putting another rom on the >fake, ie internal> sd card, which cant get removed from the acctual phone? so then i can install that rom? i have tried reinstalling the rom but that didnt work

If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 you can mount the sd card as usb drive.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img that goes with the ROM.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You are probably forgetting to flash boot.img using fastboot from your pc, from your description. After flashing boot.img, issue a
Fastboot erase cache
Or you will most likely get bootloops.
