Hi Guys,
Recently, my HTC One X's screen has gone a bit crazy. At first, the screen image would get corrupted, but now the screen won't even turn on. I know my phone still works because I can feel the vibrations on it, and when I call it I hear the ringtone.
Rarely, my phone's screen works, but this is a 1% chance, after rebooting my phone a million times. This problem seems to occur on whichever rom I use, so I suspect it's a hardware problem.
I would go into HBoot and restore to stock using RUU, but the screen is blank no matter what, so I don't know what's happening. My phone is rooted and unlocked on a MIUI rom, so I don't know if my warranty still applies and whether service centre will fix it for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
DarkyHero
Can you do adb or fastboot commands ?
Adb reboot bootloader
Or
Fastboot reboot bootloader

Sadly I'm not brave enough to do so, as my phone remains blank even when I hold the button combination to get into HBoot.
The thing is I know that my phone is still working as I can hear the notification sounds from it, and the LED light shows when charging.
Do you have any idea what else I should do?
Take it to a repair shop.....i don't know what else
If you can do fastboot commands you might be able to flash it back to stock, if the problem is not gone after that you might want to send it in for warranty

OK thanks, but do you know if I can tell me if there is a computer programme that tells me what mode the phone is in, so I know when it is in fastboot mode with? Then I would be able to flash RUU back to stock.
Execute
Code:
fastboot devices
If you see your serial number, you are in fastboot mode. This is the only way I'm afraid.

Thanks. If my computer sees that my phone is in fastboot mode but my phone's screen still stays blank, is it safe to execute RUU or do I need some input on my phone?
This might sound a bit random, but do I need to enable USB Debugging?
Thanks so much for your help.
Yes USB debugging should be enabled....if you do fastboot devices and the serial comes up you are oke
To run the ruu you have to relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
After that wait some time (10 sec)
And run the ruu with admin rights from pc
You should only do this if you have already the correct ruu
No need for usb debugging.
It would only allow the ruu to put phone in fastboot mode, but it isn't needed if the phone already is in fastboot mode.
No screen input needed during ruu afaik.

My phone's screen is working again, so I will try to execute RUU now.
So steps are as follows:
1. Lock bootloader
2. RUU
There is just one more thing I would like to ask you awesome guys, do I need to first flash stock recovery like it says in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZuAjz4PIjU Around the 3:45 mark.
Thanks a lot!

No ....
The ruu will flash back the stock boot.img, stock recovery and it will bring back the rom to its original state.

Why ? Did it work ?

NOTE: THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED, See this post #97 by "teppic74" for how I fixed the phone
My flatmate recently got a Desire from Vodafone, it's got their latest ROM on it with all their bloatware.
I told him I could debrand it, but the goldcard method didn't work because he had bootloader 0.83.
So I followed a thread to this site on how to downgrade the bootloader:
http://www.tolxdorff.net/tutorials/?step=2
So I did step 4... and then the screen went blank. I left it for a while, I thought it may be installing...
After a long time, I pulled the battery out and rebooted the phone ... I'm pretty nervous by this point LOL
Anyway, the phone reboots and I can hear the annoying HTC chime, which never happened on the Voda rom...
But I can't see anything. It appears that the phone is booting up, but the screen is not working.
Anyone got any advice on what I might do to fix this or am I toast? Grateful for any advice.
Have you try it again or download a original rom (maybe on vodafone...on my o2site it give a original rom and also here on xda)...or have you tried unrevoked...what say the h boot now..?????
with kind regards...Alex
Unforunately that's the problem... the phone is working and booting up, but the screen is blank... so I can't see anything.
I'll try to find and flash the voda rom, that's a good idea

you have no acsess to bootloader or recovery.....??
try vol down (hold it) and phone on (power)...
Well... I think I can get into recovery... it's just I can't tell because the screen is not showing anything...
if I was to make a noob guess at what's wrong, and this is unsubstantiated, it's that it's a new desire with SLCD screen and that it's get the driver for the AMOLED screen installed when I downgraded...
Two more people over at modaco at reporting the same issue, I think:

Test your theory.
Pull out the battery and put it back in.
Press and hold volume down and birefly press power on.
Keep volume down pressed for 5 seconds, then release it.
Count 20 seconds, then press the power key briefly once more.
You should now be in fastboot.
Connect your phone to the USB port and it should list it self when you execute fastboot devices.
If see it listed, you can restore the original ROM via the vodafone RUU file.

Correct that's me.
I tried a normal boot, unrevoked found the phone but got stuck waiting for boot loader.
I did follow the test you mentioned regarding fastboot.
Windows did make a bleep bleep sound when i plugged it in, but when I ran adb devices (is that what you meant when you asked "is it listed"?), there were no devices listed.
The phone does make the annoying htc sound on normal boot... just no screen

ADB will not find your phone in fastboot. You need to download fastboot binary and run fastboot devices to list devices in fastboot mode. If you use windows, you also need to install the fastboot windows driver. (I think you can find that in the android SDK)
I no longer even get the startup beep. Think I am totally screwed?

I'm getting the bleep bleep cause I tried to install the generic rom... you're probably not getting it because you only tried to root the existing rom, is that correct?
yeah i used this driver...open attached htm file (if you have download unrevoke...its also in) adb
I am not sure if anyone experience this but then again my phone is rooted. I was just browsing around the internet and it started heating up, next thing i know the phone just shutdown and all kind of error popout then it just hard reset by itself where I had to set all the stuff again. But after a while all those error kept popping out again and now I can't even do anything anymore.
Pretty much it just get stuck with HTC logo & beats now, I still can access the recovery menu. Trying to find the right RUU file and which I am not sure myself now where to download or what to download.
The phone CID is HTC_044, I remember using the latest update available and so on. Any idea what am I suppose to do now? I was looking at the nandroid copy from this thread and downloaded my but I have no idea how to use it

Installed back all my apps... now after did all those I try to sign into the htc friend steam and only to make the phone reboot. Like what is wrong with this phone
seems like it is stuck at the htc logo now... and back to square one. Should I claim for warranty?
This is the second time it factory reset by itself now, so like I don't think this is an software issue
Also I notice now I can't turn off the phone, it just restart and I get some error notification.
Warranty it is.....

After noticing the overheat problem seems to be commen, I bought myself a S3 and might actually be happy with it. I mean like leedroid is no more around, htc service is not available in my state plus I got to wait like almost a month to get a board replacement or the whole phone. I am gonna sell it off lol.
Then again thanks a lot for the help :good: it made me choose wisely now.
Oke ...
CASE CLOSD !
Just wanted to inform the rest about my warranty status, finally got my phone back but.. it is being recond :laugh: I gave htc service center a call last Thursday and was inform that my phone was on the way back to my city. Best part was, the operator didn't know what did they do with it lol
Attached the repair report and seems like they even added a dent to my top left? I was using otterbox defender since I gotten this, not too sure how that dent was created but then should not have been around while i was on still using the phone before it just died on me. Then again a free hardware upgrade to 32gb for this phone sure did make me happy.
Not too sure what to do with this phone now, some how I don't feel like selling it so might just switch around with my sIII once in a while lol
Hi guys,
I've rewrited my htc's rom and after restarting my phone iam seeing only HTC logo so I think that my phone has no ROM now (flashing took too short, i know my bad, needed to flash it again...). There will be no problem, but my + and - buttons doesn't work, so i can't open my recovery menu. Any ideas? Thanks )
P.S,Sorry for bad english

It is not bricked if you can at least turn something on.
I think Back + Power will get you to fastboot menu at least
Try Bortak's troublehooting guide, it's stickied to the top of Q&A.
You'll probably need to flash 2.3.3 RUU.
To flash RUU you need to fully turn on the phone. And about fastboot... I can boot into it, but i cant navigate there, because my + and - doesn't work :/

You can flash the RUU in fastboot mode. You dont need it to boot into android.
Like eddiehk6 said, since your volume rocker buttons dont work you can use back and power to boot directly into fastboot. Then you can run the ruu from there.
So i need just open official RUU 2.3.3 and do usual ****? (when my phone is in fastboot)

Exactly.
Wait a sec, no need to flash the dangerous ruu. just plug you're phone to PC via USB and turn it on, in whichever mode it is use command line to restart it to recovery.
adb reboot recovery
With ruu you can brick it for real

Ur assuming he is s-off or rooted with custom recovery. If hes never rooted and is stock s-on then the only option is what has been suggested above.
Hi,
After updating the software using the "software updates" from the settings to Jelly Bean, the device won;t start up, it will show the HTC splash screen and reboot.
I tried to do a factory reset and to shutdown the device but every time i connect the charger it will start up again and enter an infinite loop, I cannot flash a new recovery or firmware.zip using the fastboot because the device does not have enough battery (I tried recharging it using a script that will loop and enter it to reload bootloader but it is not enough, I got it up to 10%, no more)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Doron
Try leaving your phone to charge overnight and unlock its bootloader the next morning than follow the required steps to flash a recovery. On the recovery itself, try to make a factory reset of your stock rom and see whether it can still work or not.
If can't than you'll just have to give custom rom a try to see how it goes than

Ok so its easy download the latest ruu from THIS THREAD for your phone charge it up and to check the charge percentage use fastboot getvar all command
In that see battery it must be above 3680volt if not USE THIS THREAD ON HOW TO CHARGE BATTERY after succesfully charging battery run RUU and you are good to go. GOOD LUCK

Not so easy, he tried using the script to charge and it's not going up. You have to start there, that's the main problem !
Make sure the script runs with admin rights, and use only the original HTC usb cable and connect it straight to a powered usb 2.0 port on the pc (no hubs, extension cords)
Keep it running for a long time, that process may take many hours.
Fastboot getvar all is not needed, the script tells you exactly what the batt level is after each reboot.
Keep trying the script, it's the only way to charge now. Try to get it just over 10%, it's enough to flash. If you get to that point you flash this recovery asap !
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And enter it. Hook the phone up to the main (wall outlet) charger and let it charge to a 100% then we can continue

Thank you all for your answers!
I got it yesterday to about 10%, so maybe i will be able to do it again, can you tell me how can I flash this recovery? I saw that the boot loader is locked (On the top of the bootloader there is a pink line sais locked) can I still flash?
Ah no...but since you are locked you have warranty !
Don't unlock it before you let yourself informed about that !!!
Unlocking the bootloader is needed in order to flash anything except a ruu. But for a ruu you need minimal 30% of battery

That is what i was afraid of, do you think i can get to 30% with this method?
How do i unlock the bootloader?
I talked to HTC today, because the 1 year has passed they suggested only out of warranty repair so...
What do you suggest?
My suggestion is to try the sctipt and run a ruu first.
We need a fastboot command to get the correct one
Fastboot getvar version-main
Otherwise it's getting over 10% and unlock, flash a recovery and continue from there.
Unlocking goes via the HTC dev site.

How will i know that i got to 30% ?
Flashing a ruu doesnt need any changes to the phone ! It's locked and stock. Ruu's can be flashed straight away that way. See if you can reach that 3700-3800 mV
I finally got it to 3785....
My phone is s-off with cid:11111111 so I tried to run the following RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
And I got img error, any thoughts?
OK,
Because i couldn't install the other RUU, I thought I should upgrade my hboot, I used the JBFWFlasher tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
This changed my hboot to 1.33 and my cid to 621
So I downloaded and flashed:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed
Finally the system is up and running.
I am still checking to see if everything is working, do you think i will be able to update to 4.2.2?
Thanks a lot guys for all your help
What's your main version
Fastboot getvar version-main
And did you run the ruu with admin rights ?
Another option is to flash the 3.14.401 firmware, that will lift the hboot to 1.39. It's stable and then you can install any rom you want. Then you have at least a clean sense 5 rom.
Finally!
After flashing the ruu I managed to get the system up and running, I even managed to get to OTA for 4.2.2 ROM with sense 5, it seems to work fine now
Thank you very much.
Nice job !
CASE CLOSED !
So I recently got a European M8 and thought I would root it which turned out to be a bad idea. To start off with, it didn't root properly anyway so i carried on using it. Today I wanted to recover it back to stock (When I got it out of the box) I did a command using fastboot which was along the lines of fastboot boot boot.img but now my HTC will launch the screen displaying that it is a build for development purposes only and then it goes to a black screen but still turned on. It seems to me like there is no Operating System for the phone to boot from.
PLEASE HELP ME

Hard to help, if we don't know exactly what you did. Try to explain in detail (or as best you can) the exact steps (including file names, version numbers, etc.) of what you performed.

Again, hard to tell what the issue is, if we don't know exactly what you did.
Are you sure you didn't do fastboot flash? I don't think you would do anything permanent with the command fastboot boot.
What exactly were you trying to boot/flash with this command? What was the file name, where did you get it from, and what was the exact intent?
Did you get this idea from a thread or guide?

If you hold power + vol up for a long time (30 seconds or more) does the phone reboot? Then what, black screen again?
Do Power + vol up again. The moment the screen goes dark (but before the HTC logo screen with the red text warning) let go of those buttons, and only hold power down; and don't let go until you see the bootloader screen. If this fails, try again, you probably just got the timing wrong (started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early).
Once in bootloader, select fastboot (if not in that mode already) using vol keys, then confirm with power button. Connect to computer and do: fastboot getvar all
Post the getvar output (delete IMEI and serial numbers before you post).
Again, i am really sorry but i do not understand what i did. It asked me to flash the ROM Update Utility and then use fastboot boot boot.img which then screwed it up and yes when i boot up and reboot it just goes to a black screen.
Here is the info:

Just sounds like you are too lazy to type. So why should I put forth more effort than you; when you are the one that wants help?
Describe as best you can, that is all I ask.

It asked me to flash the ROM Update Utility and then use fastboot boot boot.img which then screwed it up and yes when i boot up and reboot it just goes to a black screen.

Do you have a file in your fastboot folder (wherever fastboot.exe is located) what is actually named boot.img?
And you really can't remember if you got this idea from a thread? You had to come up with it somehow.
What were you even trying to do here? What did you think the command would do?
Again, either you are just being lazy, evasive, or got hit on the head to cause amnesia; if you can't answer the questions.
So I was looking for tutorials on how to root it and I cam across a program (cannot remember the name) which was designed to root it with a few clicks of buttons ect. I already new how to unlock the boot-loader because I owned a HTC desire 510. I went back onto my phone it has twrp installed but I use root checker and it says that proper root access is not granted and I have tried to use SuperSU but I got the binary issue so I gave up. It was working fine but today I decided I wanted to revert it back to stock again but did something which completely messed it up.
Also, i decided i wanted to restore it because if it broke and i needed it to be repaired it would void my warranty. I was thinking when i reset the RUU it would make it stock again but it did not.
Now, that's more like it!

An Android app, or PC program?
Either way, one-click type root apps don't work on HTC devices. PC based toolkits worked at one time, but were never updated to support the recent software builds (outdated TWRP versions fail on Lollipop, and outdated SuperSU versions fail).

What did you think you were doing with the fastboot command (fastboot boot boot.img)?
One thing I can say for sure: Don't try mods, fastboot commands, etc. unless you know exactly what you are doing (such as following reputable instructions to the letter). The command you did just isn't right. You either got it from a bad source, or you decided to improvise or experiment (really bad idea). You made the issue much worse than it was to begin with (probably just needed to flash the updated SuperSU zip, maybe also update TWRP).

You also didn't answer the question:

It was a computer application and i thought the command would reboot it with a different kernal/firmware thing. But yeah i followed the instructions like an idiot and messed up my phone and no i don't anymore because i deleted it

Fastboot boot means you are trying to remote boot something without flashing it. A boot.img isn't bootable. I've only seen this done with recovery.img
I think you meant to do: fastboot flash boot boot.img
The one different word makes a huge difference. The action is to flash, not boot. The "boot" is the location of where to flash to.
Also, even if you properly flashed boot.img, this is just the kernel, and wouldn't change much. To return to stock, you want to flash a full ROM. And kernel, ROM and firmware are not interchangeable terms, so don't for a second think they are.
Ok. Is it possible though to revert it back to stock and if yes, do you think you can help me?
Do the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock. Then download the 4.16.401.10 RUU from the following thread, and run it from PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Your alternative is to restore the proper stock TWRP backup. While the relevant files are on that same link, you'll find clearer instruction on the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
It now says Relocked then underneath security warning. Is that good?

The security warning just means you altered something in the stock software (root, kernel, etc.). It doesn't matter, as the RUU will write all partitions to factory condition.
Will i have to re unlock the boot-loader for the RUU.exe to work?

NO. Its required to be LOCKED or RELOCKED to run RUU.
Its the only reason I told you to relock it.
Ok because i had the program running all day with it re-locked but it didn't do anything so i am back to square one

What does your PC screen say? Is the RUU stuck sending?
You probably just need to disconnect the phone and start again. RUU just gets stuck sometimes. It shouldn't take any more than 5 or 10 minutes.
Yeah it says updating 0 out of 7 sending ........................

It should be safe to just disconnect the phone and start over with the RUU again.
This is what comes up
It send that 1 had been sent then it said error
