So very confused :/ - HTC One X

Hey guys, Im very new to all this android tinkering and all that so please bare (i think that's the right bare :s) with me.
I have the international HTC One X from Vodafone Australia, I installed Ice Cold Jelly late last year but got sort of bored with it and I saw a thread showing CM 10.1, so i tried to flash that, flashing the boot.img and installing the zip in recovery i thought i did everything right.. but my htc ended up stuck on the android logo :/
i have no idea what to do, cause i can no longer even put another rom on the sd card to flash it..
I really want to just go back to stock rom, i believe you need the correct RUU for it, which i cannot find ANYWHERE. My 'version' is 2.17.862.2.
So can anyone give me any suggestions for what i should do? Is there any other RUU i could possibly use? or a way I could access my phone and put another rom on to flash?
Sorry for the long post, but I want to make sure you guys understand my situation
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I suggest you don't go back to stock, because stock sucks, just my opinion actually xD
Anyway, before you flashed CM10 did you remember to do a full wipe? and have you tried doing 'fastboot erase cache' in fastboot mode?
I suggest you try those

If you have CWM 5.8.4.0 or newer, you can use it to mount the sd card as USB and copy the ROM on.

Bricked Desire?! :(

Hey guys I'm really desperate right now...
I don't know what to to, I can't boot my Desire, I can't get into recovery, just fastboot is working. I'm always stuck on the splashscreen.
To begin with the story, I rooted my Desire months ago, flashed a new rom from time to time and everything worked fine. So yesterday I wanted to try out RCMix S CM7 where the FAQ said i need S-OFF.
So this also worked quite fine. But then I got problems partitioning my SDCard (dont know what why or so, my Desire didnt recognize it anymore)
Today I tried again but I made it even worse, now I can't boot my Rom anymore and I can't get into Recovery. So what should I do? I searched the internet for hours now and tried nearly everything.
I tried to flash an official RUU, in fact this one: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
Becaus the others were too "old". But when I tried starting this one it couldnt detect my desire. USB connecion error.
But still it seems it flashed a new hboot because now I am S-ON again.
Then I tried to flash a Stock ROM via fastboot, which first failed because it wasn't signed and the second one failed because android-info.txt and android-product.txt were missing.
I tried to flash the recovery again but it's still stuck on the splashcreen.
I don't know what to do anymore... could you PLS help me? Or is my Desire now bricked??
What can I do, or try...?
greets patrick

If fastboot is working you should be pretty much safe. It seems like you got an usb brick. Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187
My Suggestion ... Create a Goldcard beofre doing anything.. once done you can put PB99IMG.zip into ur SD card and it will flash automatic once you goto fastboot... but Goldcard is a must for this.. if you dont knw search how to create goldcard.
For Goldcard
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...gold-card-for-htc-desire-without-hex-editing/
or

Pat, is your phone branded ?
Flash the correct RUU for your phone (one that came with your phone originally), it does not really matter how old it is. after you done that your should get back to stock you can re-root it and then load the firmware you want.
if you don't know what your phone came with originally. then you will need a goldcard to get back to stock
@paul.c: nope it isn't branded
@dennis.l: I can't! I tried some of this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
The old ones with 1.15 and 1.21 started, but didn't work because it said they are too old or something like that.
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Then I tried the newer one with FroYo, but this one throw and error saying it can't even find or connect to my phone.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
So what I've read so far I definitely need a goldcard right?
But all those manuals say I have to boot up and activate USB Debugging Mode... but I cant boot up a rom. The only thing that is working right now is fastboot.
Is it possible to make a goldcard without booting up? Or do I have to get a working Desire to make the goldcard?
I haven't got a cardreader either but seems I've got to get one.
Right now I'm not at home so can just try it in the evening.

You don't need goldcard for unbranded phones.
Even Unbranded phone requires goldcard to be able to flash any RUU...
So I prefer you create goldcard.. and yehs you can create goldcard without booting..
If you have anyone with android mobile.. goto market and search for goldcard helper.. and insert you memory card in that phone.. and run the goldcard helper.. it will give you the reverse CID .. whcih you can use to create goldcard... but you will require a card reader for sure..... just try your luck with your current phone.. just plug in the phone and run the Goldcard tool.. and check if your phone is detecting
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!
You saved my life! xD
I made a goldcard as you said with the help of a friend and his desire. Then I put it my phone and suddenly I could flash the newest Stock ROM
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
So everything went great, I've got root again, a working stock rom and I'm able to start recovery mode again.

Anytime Bro
I recently experienced a similar problem. And all the stuff you described wrong with your phone is the same on mine.
What I want to know is how to get back to stock and all that? A step by step guide would be very much apreciated..
I tried following this guide:http: //forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
but as I try to enable my sdcard it get an error:
"The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
I recently installed the JDK and just downloaded the newest android SDK to work with.
Besides I'm considering whether I'm doing this right. I do have to use the CMDprompt right? and direct it to my androidsdk/tools directory?
I'm pretty much new to messing around with my phone through the CMD though. Please be gentle when you describe any methods that might work..?

Adbwinapi.dll was moved to the platform-tools dir in the android sdk and the sdk path in Windows hasn't be updated. In win xp right click my computer, go to system then click the system variables button. Find "path" and change it to point in to the "platform-tools" folder... Note I'm not at my pc so I can't remember 100% what tab the system variables button is on

Stumbled into the same problem. Just download it from the internet.
hi,
rage is right, better declare environnement variable, right click comupter - select properties - windows select advanced and you should see variable environnement. just add the path where adb is installed... mine is the following defaut path(C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools) + (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) should add the in the user environ... name = path variable= the 2 path separated by a ;
Well I got desperate and I think that I've totally bricked my phone. I was going to a family arrangement and I didn't know the way so I was hoping that flashing the original RUU, would make me able to use the phone and the navigation in it, while starting the phone in fastboot would help. Seems it didn't. The RUU I tried to install seems it was a wrong one (here to say that I tried flashing it through the installer on my pc), but this was stated pretty late in the installation process.. where the guide told me to install a proper one.
My phone is now totally unresponsive. It won't even charge. When I hold the power button it just vibrates once and then nothing else happens.
Is it bricked? If so, does anyone know what my chances are with my warranty? Now that I've had it rooted and stuff, does my warrenty then expire and can they "track" the rooting part if I hand in it to their support?
Best of regards,
Me.

only guessing but if NOTHING turns on or boots, as in you just see a black screen then there is not going to be a way for any one to know the phone was rooted
try taking it back on warranty
I thought the same thing myself. Since it's unable to boot into the "recovery" menu by holding down "power + volume down" I guess it's not rooted anymore anyhow. During the RUU installation I noticed that it was installing a new "image-something" which I'm guessing means that it was writing over the root and recovery after which the installation failed.
Anyhow I'll try that and hope for the best. Thanks

Are you able to recognise the phone in adb at all?
From what I know it's very rare to completely brick unless you are flashing hboots or radios.

Help required - weird problem...

Hi Guys,
Got a real strange one, have been searching around and cannot find any threads with exactly the same problem as me...so thought I would post...
There is a bit of a back story, so here goes...
A friend of mine wanted to change her ROM on her Desire, it was purchased new in Hong Kong, unbranded. She had had a problem when out of the country (in Taiwan) and had taken it into an electronics store. A lady there "fixed" it up for her. After a few days of use she didn't like the ROM the lady flashed so I said I would flash something else onto it...
Searched around, choose the Runnymead 6.0.7 SE (current at the time) and flashed it. I needed to use unrevoked, which put on ClockWorkMod Recovery too. Great I thought!
So after a bit of use, she didn't like that either (women huh!) so I told her that I could simply put the stock HTC ROM that came with it in the first place. She said great, and here's where it got interesting...
My thought process was that I could just download the stock HTC WWE ROM from shipped-roms.com. Boot into fastboot and run the RUU, but no, I got an ERROR 131 - CID blah blah...funny I thought, cos it was bought unbranded. My assumption is that the lady in the store in Taiwan must have gold carded and flashed a branded ROM.
Anyway, cutting to the chase. I am a little stuck, here, why? The Desire wont boot without the "original" SD Card in it. When I say original, the girl also asked me to change the SD card (she had a 2Gb and gave me a 8Gb). But when I changed the card over the phone wont boot, even after a full wipe via ClockWork. It boot loops at the "android" boot screen (from the runnymead ROM) with the new 8Gb card in it.
To change the CID so I can flash the stock HTC ROM I need to create a gold card, and to do that I need the phone to boot (with a card in it I can wipe).
Kinda stuck in a vicious circle. Right now I am trying to find another custom ROM to flash to see if it has the same "issue" as the runnymead ROM does (i.e. wont boot without that "original" 2Gb SD card in it).
But let me know if anyone has ever seen this, seems weird that the phone wont boot without that 2Gb card in it...I have the card and a spare, but as I understand the gold card process I need to put another card in the (or at least the same one wiped) which means the phone wont boot!
My head is spinning...
Any input is welcome as I am just about stuck!
Cheers!

If you ever get it working I suggest you check Supernova rom.
To get it working, check bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied on the q&a section. Its got all the stuff you need to get you started.

Thanks stankyou!
I have reflashed the runnymead ROM and its booting up now, so will report back.
I do have a general question tho. If some ROM's require the "original" SD card to be in the device to boot, (I am guessing this is due to data required to boot the device being on the sd card, in the ext partition) how can I wipe another card (for gold card use) and swap it out and boot the ROM to change the CID? Bit confused...
Going to check out the supernova ROM now...
Cheers for the reply!
Whatev's
You really need not to worry about CID when flashing roms. You just make sure you make a full wipe via recovery, set the new sd card with ext pertition and flash your rom of choice and follow whatever instruction the rom requires you to do.

Hi stankyou,
I understand, but my goal is actually to get back to a stock ROM.
I keep getting the Error 131 (this was actually an unbranded phone, but somewhere along the line its gotten "branded").
I flashed the ROM you recommended...checking it out now...will it work if I take the SD Card out and replace it with another one?
Thanks!
Whatev's
All fixed up!
For those interested...
Flashed the Supernova ROM. This allowed me to change SD Cards...
Made a gold card and then ran the stock RUU from HTC.
All back to stock now.
Thanks for all the help!
Whatev's
You'll probably go back to Supernova once she complains about the lack of space for apps. Glad you sorted it out.

To go back to stock:
1. you need to flash stock recovery
2. re-lock bootloader
3. run the RUU that goes with your CID
Or if you made a backup straight after flashing CWM, you do the following:
1. restore your back up
2. flash stock recovery
3. re-lock bootloader.
And please if you're gonna follow the link that nobnut gave, read it carefully and follow it as per instructions.
thanks so much guys, sorry for the trouble. one last question i guess. how to determine the correct ruu, i can see on the box saying made i china though

Go here http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/ or here
http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
And you might have try the ones from Asia.
Seriously though you should be prepared to read before you dive into things. You should've known what CID/RUU you needed before flashing any ROM. Because you might brick your phone without reading and following instructions.
Do you know what was your original ROM version was before using the custom ROM?
hmmm ill try asia RRU, since im from phil, i can see a telstra logo below your name, im actually working for telstra based here in Philippines...

Need Help Getting Phone to Boot!

Hey Guys,
I'm reaching the point of frustration now. To try and cut a long story short, I had the Android Revolution 6 ROM on my rooted/unlocked HTC One X, and decided to update it to Android Revolution 13. I followed all the instructions, went to boot it, and it just sat on the HTC logo for an hour at which point I knew something went wrong. I repeated the steps, including wiping data using super wipe, without success either. I then decided to just select the "Factory reset" option on the boot menu, but this has also failed to boot after 30 minutes. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I've tried reloading CWM and other recovery ROM's onto the phone, but the phone resets as soon as they load.
At this point, I just want to get some form of OS on my phone. My phone is Unlocked, S-ON and has a CID of OPTUS001. I don't know if Factory reset will work if the phone is unlocked. It's all very time consuming as you normally don't know if the boot process has locked until you've waited ~20 minutes. I can't find my original ROM from when I bought the phone either, so I assume I need to obtain another one from somewhere, but I don't have any idea about CID compatibility, etc, and I'm finding this all very confusing and frustrating. All help is much appreciated. I have a feeling I need to replace my boot.img with a stock boot.img, but once again, where do I get that?
Thanks
the phone doesn't boot because you don't have the latest firmware installed, you need HBOOT 1.31 but you can't install it cause your CID is not compatible with it, you sjould go back to ICS and wait...
Did you load new firmware 1.31? This firmware is not compatible with Your CID... Did You read carefully this thread — http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
Sent from HOX with ARHD 13
You forgot that you need to update the firmware to 1.31.
You can also just install ARHD 9.7.2. Ensure you have the latest CWM 5.8.4.0
faatboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then flash the boot image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
And then copy the ROM on using recovery mount USB and flash it.
Thanks for all the help guys. I managed to get a stock recovery.img back onto the phone, and by re-locking the phone I was able to use the latest Optus RUU from htcruu.com.
So at least I've now got a working phone again.
Moving onto why ARHD didn't work, I had no idea about the firmware 1.31 compatibility requirement. I thought all HTC One X's were created equal. I didn't know about this CID nonsense. Can someone explain how I find out when my phone's CID becomes compatible, or perhaps a way to change my CID or some other means of getting Jelly Bean onto my phone. Apologies for being a noob.

[Q] Flash the normal ROM and make it "new"

Hello,
My HTC Desire HD gets stuck on the HTC screen when I try to boot it.
I am kinda new to this, so I should not have done what I did. I got this phone used and I rooted it, and tried to install a custom ROM.
And something went wrong, likely I didn't prepeard the phone the right way.. And of course, I have been serching a lot on the web, some things don't work and other this requires tools that have a bad download link or outdated.
So my question is: How do I make my phone like normal? Like unrooting and removing everything if possible..
Would be so great if someone could help me out or just by linking me to a working tutorial.
Thank you and have a nice day. And please, ask if something is unclear or if you have questions.
I have a very similar issue

Hi, I have done a similar thing, in that in an attempt to flash a custom ROM, I removed everything. Now, all ROMs just produce the HTC splash screen.
Please help as this is my only phone !!!
You both need to provide more detail on what state your phone was in to begin with and what you did to it. I have a hunch that your phones are S-On with unlocked bootloaders, and that neither of you flashed the boot.img from fastboot after flashing the ROM from recovery. But more detail on what you have and what you did is necessary.

Yes, you are right. I just flashed the boot.img with fastboot AFTER installing from recovery. Jellytime booted up. I really have to thank you for that.
And again, you are right. The phone is S-Om and bootloader unlocked.
I used a a tool named "EasyUnlockTool". It rooted, unlocked the bootloader and some other things.
But right now, I think I am going to stick to jellytime. But to help caraar12345 and me later if I want to go back to stock room, what kind of information do you need?
Thank you for helping
You can either flash a rooted stock-like ROM from recovery, in which case you'd be mostly stock, or relock your bootloader and run a RUU from your computer in fastboot, in which case you'd be completely stock.
