Phone Wont Boot, help please! - HTC One X

Hi all!!
Just before Christmas, my Rooted One X decided it had a OTA update it wanted to do, and tried to install said update.
But once it turned off to reboot, it no longer boots!
It just stays on the HTC Splash screen till the battery dies
I can get it to the Bootloader, but that's about it, on the boot loader This is what it looks like (im unsure if the top messages are normal or not!)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I try to go to recovery, it just shows a pic of Android and a loading bar for a second or two, then reboots and loops on the HTC screen again, and the exact same thing when I try to 'Factory Reset'
Also, it will NOT power off, you can hold the power button, and it will do off, but instantly will try and boot back up
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Even if it means going back to a stock rom.
If you need any more info, please feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.
Cheers

I had similar problems, I reflashed cwm and erased cache through fast boot erase cache, at least twice.
This finally allowed me to boot into recovery and reflashed another rom (with the proper boot.img flashed of course).
It's very important that you erase cache

Hi, any chance you could talk me through what I need to do??
Im a noob with these phones, im use to my old school HTC Hero were flashing roms was a little bit simpler lmao
Never put a rom on this at all yet, so I have no idea about boot.img's etc...
Im currently downloading the Android SDK etc as im guessing this will be needed...
:EDIT:
Ok, I managed to do what you said, but still cant boot into recovery :s
I flashed CWM and cleared the cashe but still nothing, damnnnn

Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" before going to recovery ? Maybe it helps

Bit skeptical about the update it keeps telling me about now! haha
I recoverd back to my old 4.0.4 version of android, but SuperSU no longer works so im guessing its unrooted some how?
Now its telling me there is an update to 4.1.1 (Saftware update 3.14.401.27) ....
Lets see if its bricks again! lmao
:EDIT:
ooookayyyy, that didnt want to install at all... hmmmm It downloaded, then went to recovery to install and just errors out, something about internal storage or something... will get the proper message in a min or so!
Anyone reccommend a good Rom to flash? haha
Also, how do I go about flashing the boot.img that im guessing will be needed with a rom?

You need stock recovery to update via OTA, or you could relock the phone and run an RUU of the newest version.

Im looking at installing the Android Revolution HD 18.0 Rom, but im a little confused on what im needing to do to get it all working correctly..
As I said above, im use to just sticking a single zip on the SD and installing back on my old HTC Hero haha

Also, is there any way of mounting the SD card without having to boot the phone up?...
I know you cant do it in the Clockwork recovery sadly!! :s

You can do it in CWM or TWRP. Just click mounts and storage and then mount USB storage. I think what you should do is run an RUU and then unlock boot loader and flash ARHD 18 like any other ROM.

Iv tried that, but it does not work, and I have read in another thread that this didn't work on CWM? Maybe im wrong and my phone has another fault! haha
I just get and error saying E:Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

The open ums lumfile error is because of an older custom recovery you must update to a newer recovery ....try this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
:thumbup:
But i cant find in the thread that you updated the hboot already ?
Otherwise you can use this ruu
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
Relock the bootloader with fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
And then run the ruu with admin rights !
It will give you the latest hboot and stock JB software
Edit : its best to get to the point, are you on the stock rom, stock kernel,custom recovery
Flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Put the phone fastboot usb mode and copy the file to the fastboot folder (rename it to recovery.img)
Then the fastboot command
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Reboot the phone and do the software update again.

Try flashing back stock recovery, if it still doesn't install then try the ruu.

Should i comment your post??
flash the stock images http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
everyone should know how to flash it manually with fastboot..you probably need to flash only kernel and system
the common user error is that when you get a bootloop, people went crazy and start doing eveything...the next time when you got a bootloop, you SIMPLY have to go in recovery and restore the backup.
EDIT: what the error with fasboot? the pic is too small to read

He lost cwm as well so he could't go to recovery and restore. If he can't root/unroot via fastboot i doubt he can flash stock image. I hope he can.

he lost cwm after tring everything, before that he probably can
I make the cwm work but i don't know how to flash the stock image... If i restore my backup i get a bootloop.
Go to fastboot on the phone. Plug it in. Extract the stock factory image somewhere. Open command prompt, navigate to wherever you have GNex toolkit's fastboot binary.
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system.img
There you go. Start the phone.
So it's not really bricked after all..
Try to restore the google image with the gnex toolkit by putting the zip file in the correct folder (read instruction).

The only way to flash something is in fastboot in cwm i can cwm work to navigate to wipe but when i want to flash something it restarts.I have cwm 5.0.0.2 something like this.
Try installing via fastboot or cwm a stock or aokp again after wiping everything of course... if you have cwm there is no prob.

Man when i try to flash something in cwm it starts and after reboot it self.
OK, start from the start, when you plug your phone in to the computer in bootloader and type "fastboot devices" does it show up?
If it does then you have no problems.
If not then you may have driver problems.
If it does show up just flash the images one by one and everything will be fine.
The google stock factory images that is.

[TUT]How to get our of HBOOT loop.(NO ROM/NO RECOVERY)

Hi.
It happened to me earlier and I've seen a few people in the same boat.
So you flashed a zip, rebooted and stuck at splash. When rebooting to recovery it goes and sticks on splash and the only thing to work is fastboot.....what to do?
Don't panic its not a brick.
Hold power 7 seconds to restart phone, when off hold vol down to enter HBOOT.
Once in HBOOT press power to enter fastboot.
First try 'fastboot erase cache' and then 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' this should do the job, if this don't work, reboot into fastboot and try below.
On your pc open cmd and change directory to where your adb and fastboot are. Once there use 'fastboot oem lock' your bootloader should now say Relocked I think.
After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.
After done you may need unlock bootloader again, I did via HTCDEV and then reflashed recovery with 'fastboot flash recovery *recovery name*
Job done, phone restored, panic over
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Hope this helps
So here a method which always works (many people have issues with flashing RUU's etc. having a bootlop.)
Download a RUU from here, thanks to Football!
Now open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
After that:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If everything worked, just reboot:
Code:
adb reboot

If your cid is none. You can't flash ruu because of 131 error.
This is what I did..
Flashed the official recovery from Bronco's thread.
Flashed LeeDroid... was at 50%.. then flashed ROMeOS, was down to 35%.. started setting up.. came down to 15% when all of my settigs were complete...
Rebooted to recovery for wiping cache and dalvik so I could just put the phone to charge.. did not reboot.. just went into Splash loop...
Can go into bootloader/fastboot... tried erasing cache.
Panick-stricken, reflashed the interim recovery, as I knew for a fact that I could charge it while off - charged over night.. this morning still on splash-loop.
Just flashed the stock recovery and turned off and put it on charge. Locked the bootloader (says "re-locked")
Downloading the stock rom.. i am hoping this is the exact stock as CID may not let me flash it..
I think now the only way left is to hope that the stock flashes and the phone boots..
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Can you effing belive it... sleepless night.. countless downloads... A simple factory reset - and its fixed!!!!!!

+1 to this. Hit factory reset from Hboot and you will get into recovery to run a wipe/factory reset.
Many thanks
When I got into one I just restored stock from recovery. I did the long power press and then volume- .After that it was straightforward

Hi man...
You do this on other phone??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25422300
1. Did you follow the instructions in the CM9 Dev thread?
2. Did you first flash CWM5, it is the first item in the instructions in that thread.
3. If not, you can still flash CWM5, either by ODIN or adb.
4. You will have to read the instructions as to how, they are all in the forum.
5. No-one else can do it for you, you have the phone, just don't skip any essential steps.
6. I know you think your phone is bricked, but it does not seem so from your description.
7. Not sure how you got the CM9 splash screen by flashing through stock recovery?? Maybe you can explain how exactly you are flashing CM9??

well, that's the problem... if you want to install CM9, you should install CWM recovery first...
this is what you should do to resolve it:
1. turn on your phone into download mode
2. connect your phone to your PC, then flash CWM recovery through ODIN
3. after finished flashing CWM recovery, turn off your phone, then turn on your phone into recovery mode to enter CWM recovery
4. full wipe your phone in CWM recovery (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)
5. flash CM9 in CWM recovery
next time, if you want flash ROMs into your phone, make sure you follow every instructions and DO NOT EVER SKIP single step of the detailed instructions...

yes you can't ofcourse, you must flash a rom first then after that when you get into debugging mode. the guide on flashing is on the link i provided, just go to download mode and if you can got to download mode everything would be fine as they said, DO NOT SKIP any steps, all links are provided from my first post from flashing, rooting, installing CWM and flashing the CM9 rom. hope this helps.

[Q]After using JB FW Easy tool, phone became useless

HTC__622
I used this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
To try and upgrade my phone to JB. Followed the instructions to the tee. Unless I used wrong boot img's. Only thing that works now is fastboot. I've tried installing recovery many times. All I get is a black screen once I select recovery setting.
What can I do to install the bloody recovery successfully?!
In fastboot you need to do fastboot erase cache
then you should be able to boot into recovery.
You might be able to wipe the cache from your toolkit but i can't check as I'm not at a PC

Done all that several times.
What I noticed was, when selecting recovery. The screen wouldn't just be black, it'd be lit up. I navigating to where mount USB mode was, lo and behold it actually worked. So my issue is more of, the recovery menu not showing up. It's there and works. Not the menu. Was working previously before I went JB Q_Q
Hmm. That's an odd one.
Just to discount a bad flash can you test just booting the recovery from fastboot rather than flashing it.
Are you capable of using fastboot from the command line.
If so re download your recovery.img and copy it to your fastboot directory and run the command fastboot boot recovery.img
It should boot to recovery again but this version has not been loaded from the recovery partition so it will tell us if you just have a bad flash or not
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes I can use fastboot commands. Using the command you provided, phone was stuck on the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.
Is the phone locked or unlocked ?
What is your Hboot version ?
Can you enter recovery mode ? did you "install" the recovery that comes with the tool ?
If you can post a picture to your bootlder , that would help

Hboot 1.36.0000
Unlocked. I upgraded from 0.94 HBoot. I can install everything with that tool. Issue is, recovery menu isn't visible. I've done research and seen some cases where backlight isn't on, but that's not the case for me. Backlight is on, and screen itself if on. Nothing is visible but I can touch it and same actions occur as if I were to select it normally. As for pic, I'll try. Have no camera to use.
Still no luck. Nothing I've done makes the recovery menu visible. Did the same process on w8/w7. No difference.

I think I've reflashed a good, 10+ times. Time to try again.
OH, one thing I learned, this may be useful for people who are stuck in bootloops:
If you want to force your phone to turn off and charge, go to fastboot mode, scroll down and select power down. Works like a charm! No script needed to barely charge phone.
EDIT: Nope, still nothing. Anyway I can wipe the recovery partition?
Double edit: Forgot to mention, when executing "fastboot boot [nameOfRecoveryImage].img phone always hangs on HTC quietly brilliant screen.
It should only hang if you are locked bootloader or you are running the first hboot that came on phone release 0.46
To erase the recovery do fastboot erase recovery then you can try flashing again

Just a small question in between, you are sure you have the international ENDEAVORU phone and not the AT&T EVITA type phone ?

When I got my phone, it's hboot ver was 0.94 I believe.
When trying to erase recovery, I get the following error:
"FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Here's a screenie of my hboot.

@Mr Hofs Yes I'm sure. My HOX is the HTC__622 ver, It's the int version, not the NA ver.
Updated hboot, endeavoru type phone all good.

Result: Same as last time, menu is not visible. I can still screw around with options, such as reboot phone. Not being able to see what I'm doing is just stupid. How's this even possible ._.

That recovery that I'm runnin is the CWM you sent. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the first option is reboot phone, which is what I selected and only way I can tell that I have a half ass functioning recovery.
Can I wipe my recovery partition somehow? Maybe that'll fix everything.
Erasing cache is already done by fastboot commands, i don't have a clue how to fix this !

[Q] getting FAILED (remote: not allowed) during fastboot ROM Flash

Hi guys..
I bought a used HTC One X. It came with stock sense, and I'd like to start flashing custom ROMs.
So, I flashed a recovery and unlocked the bootloader. As far as I know, it's unlocked. When I boot into bootloader, in pink and white at the top it says " *** UNLOCKED*** ".
I am still S-ON.. not sure if that matters at this point.
Anyway, I'm trying to flash the latest jellybam rom via fastboot and I'm getting an error message:
FAILED (remote: not allowed).
Anyone know why it's locking me out? It won't let me do much.. I can't fastboot -w, I can't flash roms.. I can flash a recovery and a boot.img, but no rom..
Help! - thanks
Why don't you flash via recovery? Flash cwm or twrp, boot into recovery, flash rom and then flash boot.img by typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot erase cache". Then you should be good.

Hey, thanks for the reply..
I can't flash in recovery because my phone is completely wiped. There is nothing on my SD card. I'm not sure how to get the .zip file to the phone so I can flash it that way.. any ideas? (right now I'm running cwm 5.8.3.1)

After you get into recovery mode goto "Mounts and Storage/ mount usb storage" and confirm with power button. Now connect it to your pc and you should see it as a removable drive. Here you can put the rom file into your empty storage.

I just googled that, and it looks like I need to try a different recovery. I'm going to download the Team Win 2.6 and see if that will work. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru

Not a pm but a message that you'd been quoted.
Flash TWRP or Philz Touch recovery (recommended) and do the same with "Mounts and Storage / mount usb storage". If everything else fails, you can always flash a stock ruu, put the needed files onto your sdcard and flash as usual afterwards.

This is forum for ONE X not PLUS. But you must flash custom recovery for one x + after this mount sd card from recovery. put the new rom on sd card and flash the rom, flash boot.img and erase cashe and the phone must work perfect!
thnks..
