That is strange, is the bootloader unlocked and have you installed any custom roms on it? The more ifno you cabn give about the phone and its present condition the better

yes it's unlocked and i've installed cm9. Phone was working well and suddenly it happened. Phone didn't turn on. After that i've installed stock rom (that was really really hard) and now it starts up. (about 20 mins)

Do you still have the custom recovery installed? If so the best bet would be to do a wipe data from the revcovery and re isntall CM9 personally i would isntall CM10 and see how you get on. Have added different Roms to phones and sometimes a fresh install will sort out most problems.

No even soft bricked....
But why so slow boot no idea. It's very weird 20 mins boot!

20 minutes for a boot ?
Did you install anything prior to this ?
Did you modify anything prior to this ?
All I can think of is a system file being misplaced ...

Can u boot into recovery, or do u have a nandroid backup... check that u format system as well as data.

No, stock rom installed. Yes i formatted as well as data. Phone isn't charging (actually it's charging but very very slowly) and touch screen isn't work. Can't install cwm after stock rom. (bootloader is unlocked.)

any help?

Try wipeing the delvic cache.. maybe itll help.

I think it's the hardware problem.

be sure that you have s-off and bootloader unlocked in the mean time this rom is a port so i suggest you try a normal rom while this rom is still work in progress

[Q] Please Help! My HTC is encountering serious problems!

Ok so here's what i did.
I rooted the phone, installed the CWM Recovery and everything.
Next I installed the Android Revolution HD Rom 7.1.0 by doing the "Super Wipe".
It got into boot loops
Then after factory resetting and every other things I could do I tried to do the new RUU on my O2 HTC One X Unlocked.
For that you have to Re-Lock it (which I did)
And I cant go into any of the Fastboot settings etc too because its battery level is very low.
Please someone help me. I just bought this phone

unlock the phone again. flash the latest recovery. then go into fastboot. fastboot erase cache , then flash the kernel, go into recovery flash superwipe, flash rom and reboot and job done..
before you do all that though backup your current rom
I cannot go into the fastboot and do the stuff because it prompts me that I have less battery. There's another problem that the phone doesn't shut off. When it gets out of juice then it turns black, the notification light blinks then when its charging, it loads the Bootloader. It simply just doesn't turn off and that leads to the problem that it uses up the battery much more than the required :/
I've tried powering down from the menu but no use

man i am sorry then i wish i had more knowledge to give you help. hopefully someone else with more experience and knowledge can come and advise you different. just never had that issue you see.
if you say you can not go into bootloader or recovery then it does not sound right...maybe take it back to retailer or something might be the best option if no one can help out
have you tried the power button with the volume button down for ten seconds to see if the phone reboots?
Can anyone tell me the solution to this "keep turning on" habit. If that's resolved there's nothing to it then. Please help me out here :'(

OK so I managed to get the phone UNLOCKED (Finally)
Now when I flash the 5.8.4.0 recovery it says
"unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-end
eavoru.img'"
So i booted the phone into the recovery mode instead of flashing.
I am finally getting somewhere but how do i know it's charging there? I don't see the red LED turn ON :/
LATEST UPDATE:
So when I unlocked the bootloader again. Apparently that solved the "not turning off" habit of the phone.
I went into the bootloader and Power Down my phone, Now it's on charge (waiting for it to turn green)
And I have the O2 branded HTC One X. I also updated it to the 1.29.206.XX something.. I don't remember :/
And I only see one RUU for the O2 branded Phone and that is like 1.26.XXX.XX thing... Will that cause problems since I upgraded the firmware??

Why is it so hard for guys to flash roms. Man its getting old seeing 50,000 of the same threads over and over.
Ok on to helping
You have latest recovery. So boot to fastboot & flash the roms boot.IMG ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) now unplug the phone, press the power button. Now your back in hboot select recovery,once there click mounts & storage button , mount USB drive. Now copy the Rom to your phone. Unmount USB drive, now flash super wipe script. BUT DON'T REBOOT AFTER YOU FLASH THIS!!!!!! choose option to select another zip to flash. This time flash your Rom & reboot. Now your done. Simple huh. & to answer your ruu ?, you can't downgrade ruu's if your on 1.29, your stuck with it till a newer one comes out.

Woah! That's spot on... I was surely gonna mess up my phone if i had done the RUU.
Its charging while the screen is off as we speak. But I think there is a problem with the charge thingy.
Its off and charging.. but sooner or later it turns off due to low battery (IM SUCH A NOOB I DNT KNW IF THE LOW BATTERY IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM)
I'll wait for it to charge again though and connect to the PC again
In the meanwhile can u answer me something regarding this
1. Does the red light turns on while charging in CWM 5.8.4.0
2. Does the mount USB Drive works? :'( Cuz when the phone was working fine. The mount USB Drive failed and gave an error of having a "lunfile missing" :/
Both of your questions can be found :

OH God what am i doing wrong here

How can I charge my phone while on Relocked Bootloader. I need help u guys!

an unseen before problem with HOX- phone dies when usb pulled off

Hi and firstly. thanks for your help!!
A friend gave me his hox for a repair after he tried putting in a new rom the wrong way...
so ive managed to put the rom he wanted (revolution hd 22) and the phone is now working ok...
calls, data, heavy apps... all works fine.
UNLESS- and thats the awkward part- unless you plug the usb data\charging cable out.
once the usb is out- the phone freezes for 30 seconds> reboots >than works fine for 30 seconds and than freezes whole over again
-this can happen until battery dies.
ive tried putting a new RUU
ive tried different kernels
ive tried wiping anything with fastboot or from the recovery
also tried TWRP and CWM- altough it dosnt even seems to be related
ive tried locking, unlocking, clearing fastboots cache... and NOTHING...
Now, the most weird thing, is when the phone is in recovery mode- it works on battery just fine!!
it can install my roms and kernels ok!
problem only occours when system goes up- than it will work only if its connected.
because of that- i can tell this isnt a hardware problem, and there must be a solution
does anyone has a clue with my issue please?

try a custom kernel...if that doesn't wprk just go into a store or so and ask there what could the issue...if it wasn't there when he had the stock rom on it than he had a really bad flash and it is maybe rom or mainboard problem in some way
Sounds like a power issue. I think its hardware
Yep its maybe HW problem but why he can charge then in Recovery Mode
Solution:Your friend could charge in Recovery Mode and then boot up to the Rom
or you could try another ROM (your last hope ?)
Hey, thanks for helping,
There is no problem with charging it...
Problem is it cant work on battery
Only recovery works with bat power.
When using rom on bat- it freezes.
Edit: oh and one more thing, the phone is almost brand new, it has been used for only one week and worked ok. Until my friend took it to a store here for adding other lang...

Recovery mode is taking less battery power then if you are using it with a rom booted up... Maybe the battery is now broken or the connectors are bad or so...
And what do you mean with adding other lang?

i thought about it, but i think installing a new rom via recovery is taking more power
than just staring at the regular booted screen while its on idle
30 seconds of staring- freeze and than reboot...
i just cant figure how its a hardware issue, the device is almost new... how is it possible that im the first one meeting this issue?
and i ment my friend wanted to add another os language that didnt come stock (rom change)

Go into a store or ask and say you have this problem or your friend have to go and if he ask if you unlocked say yes but this problem was even on stock therefore you flashed a custom Rom because you thought it will fix it...

Thank you for trying to help again,
But it isnt resonable to determine the phone mainboard is dead, all signs shows its software...
If it helps, the hox makes a long beep, or drawing stripes on the screen sometimes before it restarts, the other times it just freezes.

[Q] One X takes 5 min to reboot

Hello folks,
this morning i wanted to check the watch on my phone and noticed it was very slow. As i am on a cm 11 nightly, i decided to reboot.
The phone shut down correctly but didnt come up afterwards, the screen stayed black. About 4 minutes later, the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo appears. About another 1-2 min. the cyanogenmod boot screen appears. I can repeat that behaviour every time. same with boot to recovery or fastboot. After booting up completely, the phone usage appears to be normal excep the display brightness sensor is not working automatically.
Please note that i am on the same nightly for about 10 days now without any issues except a few reboots. I didn't change anything in the last days, same setup, same usage.
I wiped the caches, installed newest nightly, nothing changed. i cant logcat during boot because adb devices says no device attached.
does anybody has any idea what i can do? i am afraid it seems to be some kind of hardware failure...?
regards,
In fastboot use
Fastboot erase cache
and also backup apps and messages and wipe everything expect battery stats and sd card I had that problem too

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, as i anticipated, it did not work. I factory resetted the phone and erased all caches (not via fastboot but cwm, i guess it does the same).
I don't think it is a ROM problem as there are no issues when android is booting but at the, i will call it POST (the htc quietly brilliant logo )of the phone.
I think the proximity sensor/brightness sensor is defective and the phone recognizes it during the "POST" and runs in some kind of timeout and then starts booting.
Can somebody confirm a phone does have something like a hardware check before booting the OS?
Kind regards,

Obviously, it is ROM's problem. Because it is nightly. Although I have installed nightly too, one from 23 feb. And I have no problems. By the way, snapshot built l built is released now and I'm gonna try it today.

Still i really don't think it is a ROM problem. I just noticed that the phone even in fastboot behaves REALLY slow (changing the menu with volume buttons takes 1-2 minutes). And fastboot definately is independent from the ROM.
Anyways, i am just downloading CM 10.2 stable realease and flash it just to be sure.
Yep, as i thougth, still black screen for 4 minutes until the HTC quietly brilliant logo appears.
Guess it's faulty hardware then... Would be nice if someone could confirm my assumption that there is some kind of POST before the ROM is loaded.

Bricked phone?

Hey Guys I really need your help.
I'm really worried as my phone just wont switch on. I was having issues with CM11, so I reverted back to ViperX 4.0.7, flashed the heartbleed patch, installed regular apps and the phone was working fine. With around 25% charge, I did a restart and the phone just won't switch ON again. Couple of times earlier when the phone wouldn't switch one I would hold the Power+Vol Down and it would start in the bootloader. But right now even that is not working. I tried keeping it under direct light and holding the buttons that too isn't working. Have charged it for nearly 18 hours now. Its out of warranty. Guys any help Whats wrong with it? How do I fix this ? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks One-m8-master. I connected the phone to the PC and in device manager under 'Other Devices' it showed up as APX. Then I tried pressing the Volume down key for 10 Seconds+ and then pressing the Power key for 10 seconds without the usb. And then after reconnecting it to the PC it displayed 'USB Device not recognized' and under 'USB controllers' shows Unknown device. Does it mean its still in APX mode?

i was dreading those words
Just a recap. I was running CM11. Phone switched off at 50%. Dint Turn on for a long time. Turned it on by pressing Power+Vol Down (holding it for a while). Phone ran fine till it discharged completely and shut down. After charging it for a while, had to restart it again by Power+Vol Down. And apps started crashing. Next:
1) Booted into bootloader >fastboot USB>Flashed ViperX.4.0.7 boot img. included in full rom zip file.
2) In CWM recovery the The viper Installation failed. Back to Bootloader
3) Flashed the TWRP recovery.
4) Fastboot flash Viper boot.img again followed by fastboot erase cache.
5)Flashed the Viper Rom. Installed Apps. All went fine.
6) Did a restart it worked ok. After sometime I did a restart again and it Never came back.
Any idea what I screwed up with those steps so i dont mess it up again??

You Should Use Phizl'recovery (5.19.5),do not Fullwipe in Aroma. I think it ll be OK.

Thanks for the reply. But even to load Phizl'recovery, How do i get somewhere to install it without the phone turning on??

As one M8 said, a APX is a bricked hox. No wrongs steps caused that it's just a hardware fault. Replacing the mainboard will solve it permanently.

Thank you Mr. Hofs. I guess Im out of luck then. I had purchased the phone from a different county and its been well more than 1.5 years. I love this phone too much
Does using aosp roms brick the device ? Or changing roms does that ?
My device is running aosp ROM and when it runs out of battery, i cant switch it on normally after putting it on charge. I have to keep pushing the power button to boot it (capacitive buttons flashes)
Is my phone also dying ?

Don't know, ask it in the Q&A section, maybe someone knows there about this issue. Or ask it in a AOSP rom thread if more people suffer from this matter. This should be the development thread for the Viper X rom

Guess that should Not be the reason. Many use AOSP Roms and even switch between sense and aosp roms often. My phone was working fine with both CM11 and Viper no problems absolutely until yesterday where apps started crashing and after a fresh install, its just not turning on.

Thanks buddy. I took it to the HTC Centre today and they said motherboard needs to be replaced which would cost a bomb almost equal to buying a new phone. I just have one query, with the phone looking more or less hard bricked, is JTAG a good solution? Do the phones go the distance once they have been fixed via JTAG. Thanks for all the support guys.

It's a hardware issue... you didn't accidentally brick the device so it should not help.

Jtag could help but it's really hard or even impossible to do it with this phone...also the apx mode/bricked phone is due to some problems in system partitions which can't be modified by flashing roms or kernels without s-off...it's just a fault which earlier devices of one x are having...it can also happen if you flash too Many times different roms without wiping system or even wiping system too many times...but for now you can ether get a new device because buying new mainboard is stupid if it costs like a new device xD

Nope even if the phone could boot by luck it won't help...there are damaged partitions which only can be fixed by replacing mainboard or use different hardware to repair them...a ruu just format and wipes them...if we had s-off we maybe could repartition whole phone...so only help is replacing majnboard or buying new phone
