[Q] Possible brick, and not sure what to do. HELP

Introduction:
Alright, so I decided to make a whole new thread for this since it's kind of an unique situation.
Got my old man a One V for Christmas, and he loved it, then wanted me to root it. Having just rooted my HTC incredible S, I took the job.
We came across this all-in-one rootkit, thanks to the guy who made it by the way.
I can't post the link here, but the thread is called
[TOOL] HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [12-23-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof
It was pretty nerve racking, but we managed to get through it. We did not flash any kernels, no roms, etc. Just basically followed the basic step by step video. We were using the TWRP Recovery GSM version. Everything was going smoothly...
Until the "Perm Root" step...
When it came time to actually root it and put on Superuser, he noticed that it said on the One V's screen that doing this may cause damage to your phone/brick it. Then he basically said, "nah man, I changed my mind. the phone might get messed. let's just stop it."
We stopped it and it didn't cross our minds for weeks.
So as of then, the HTC One V is as follows:
- ***Unlocked*** bootloader
- Has TWRP 2.3.3.0 GSM on it (correctly done, the phone is GSM)
- NOT rooted
The Problem
My dad was then using it just last night, connected to Wi-Fi and he installed an update on accident. It was like a 40mb update file. Now, the phone doesn't seem to want to boot into Android. I don't know if it's a bootloop or what.
Basically it's just the white HTC screen that says "quietly brilliant". There's no extra red text or anything. It just stays on this screen.
However, I'm still able to reach the bootloader, so I tried a factory reset. I wiped the cache, then did a factory reset through TWRP. Again, after hitting "Reboot System Now" it just goes back and stays on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
What do I do? He really enjoyed using this phone and we don't want it to be a waste.
One more thing: we did not back anything up. No nandroid, nothing.:crying:
please XDA forums, this is my first post. I need your help.

Check what your device CID is and there may be a RUU for your device to restore everything back to normal.
What you need to do once you have the RUU
a- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
b- still in fastboot mode - run the RUU, it will restore all the recovery, boot, system back to stock.

Download the correct ruu go to boot loader then recovery and flash it and boom your back to stock

Let's worry about the first part... checking CID number.
Are you familiar with fastboot files and fastboot command ?
Put you device in bootloader, fastboot mode.
Run this fastboot command - fastboot oem readcid
Example: HTC__044 is my device CID number
Code:
C:\Users\ckpv5\Desktop\fastboot>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: HTC__044
OKAY [ 0.005s]

Oops sorry...I thought he will not be comfortable with fastboot commands so I suggested cid getter..sorry..

No, I am not familiar with fastboot files and fastboot command. What do I need to install to get all this?
Would I need to follow the directions in this video?

After that, would going through those steps you posted be possible?

As you managed to unlock the bootloader, I guess you have the right driver installed to your PC.
As you said you can go to bootloader, so I guess you know how to get there again.
Go to bootloader, when you see hboot on it, press power once to go to fastboot (you will see the word fastboot on it highlighted n red).
Download the attached simple script that I made for you, extract it to your PC desktop.
Connect your phone to PC, now you should see the word fastboot change to fastboot usb (still highlighted in red).
Open the CID_checker folder, run the CID_checker.bat and let us know the CID written there.
Then we will see whether there is available RUU for your device or not.

Any ideas, man?
Could it be because of the custom recovery TWRP that is installed on the phone?

Check whether you run this on fastboot mode not hboot mode, is the word fastboot usb shown on bootloader before you run the script ?

I will post a picture of the screen that I am on while running the script. Give me a few minutes

It looks ok, not sure why you get error when running the script.
A long way...
Go to recovery, then backup - swipe to backup
After complete, go to mount - mount usb storage - copy the twrp backup to pc.
Open the backup folder, open the system backup with 7-zip, extract the build.prop and post it here
Gotta go now, will check your progress in 2 hours

I'm sorry that this is getting so annoying. I hope you aren't annoyed.
I went to back up the files, and when I tried to mount USB storage, it told me that the drivers failed to install. I proceeded to back up to the sd card, take the sd card out and put it in my PC. So therefore I could not, at least I don't think, copy the TWRP backup to the PC, unless it's on the SD card somewhere.
You say to open the backup folder and then the system backup? I need you to please tell me the exact directory because I do not know where to look.

I do not know what the system backup file is. Is it the nandroid backup? Because I tried to open the nandroid backup with 7-zip and it said that it could not open it as an archive.

Just recall that someone else before also had error running the command fastboot oem readcid but it was successful to run command fastboot getvar cid. Attached here the updated CID-checker.bat; please retry.. run it when you connect your device to PC in fastboot usb mode

No worry, I can't get easily annoyed by people who want to learn
The backup is : (mine as example)
On sdcard, F:\TWRP\BACKUPS\SH25FTV03605\mySENSE3
You will see a file named system.ext4.win; open this file with 7-zip, it will give one folder named system or whatever, open that folder then you will build.prop

Yep... that's the one... but I'm not sure the TELUS001 RUU is available; let me check and let you know.
Meantime, if you can get build.prop, it will be better as the build.prop will tell the software version no.

Ahh... maybe your luck... here is the TELUS RUU... need to check whether this is TELUS001, hope so.
Just download it first, will advise further step.

Here is the step:
After you download the RUU (either one but the latest version is better).
Make sure you have more that 70% battery (you can check your battery level in TWRP) before you proceed.
1. Download the attached relock script, extract to desktop, connect device in fastboot usb mode, run the relock_bootloader.bat
2. Still in fastboot usb - run/double click the RUU (with administrator right), follow the updater instructions - next-next-update-update-blablabla until it finish.
3. You are done.

Alright man I'm downloading it now. Do you think you could tell me why the phone chose to get screwed up? I guess my question is how does having an unlocked bootloader + TWRP + not rooting + update = messed up phone?

Because to update an OTA, you need a stock recovery, not TWRP.
It is ok when the bootloader unlocked but must have stock recovery.
But to run RUU, you need the bootloader relocked, no need stock recovery as the RUU will replace that.
You can read more on how to do OTA update here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705484

[Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings>about

Hello all,
I'm new here so I hope I posted this in the right place and that this wasn't asked and answered before (I looked and didn't find)
This week I bought a new HTC ONE X from a local store, and I now noticed it does NOT have a "Software updates" option in Settings > About
(from what I saw, this option should have appeared above the "Tell HTC and error reporting" option... )...
If it helps --- from the Settings > About I know that:
My android version is: 4.0.4
My sense version is: 4.1
My software number is: 2.17.401.2
My kernerl is: 2.63.9.4-g090b42e [email protected] #1 SMP FREEMPT
My build number is: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
I also installed CID GETTER and it says my CID is: HTC_621
When I explored some more I also saw I have:
ro.aa.mainsku: 401
ro.aa.maincid: HTC_001
ro.build.sense.version: 4.0
ro.cid: HTC_621
I don't really understand much about those things so I don't know which other bits of info might be relevant....
PLEASE - I would really appreciate if someone could help me understand why I don't have the "Software updates" option, and how can I update the device to the latest android etc.?
Thanks in advance

Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings>about
I bet you are running a custom rom and with that you can't update ! You need to get back to stock
Hold the power button and the volume - button togheter for a lifetime and wait as ling as it takes for the phone to boot into the bootloader.
I bet you find this
Bootloader : unlocked

Thanks

Hi Mr Hofs,
Thanks for replying so quickly ----
Yes, you are right, I went into the bootloader thing and it says UNLOCKED
and then:
ENDAVOURU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-NONE
MICROP-None
Radio-NONE
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode: disabled
HW Secure boot: enabled
What does it mean? How can I verify that this is indeed a custom rom?
Needless to say, I'm not the one who unlocked it so.....
Should I complain to the store I bought it from?
Does it mean my warranty is void??
And how can I restore it to "stock"?
Thanks!

Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings>about
Hell yeah its a second hand phone !!! As they sold it to you as new.....its not !!!

I don't think it's second hand ---
The phone looked brand new, came into the original HTC Box, and had the protective htc cover they come with...
I also asked and confirmed with them that the phone is new and not refurbished...
I think they probably just replaced the rom (I know that some Israeli importers/stores do that, usually to enable hebrew on older phones etc.)
Is there a simple way to restore it to stock rom without the help of the store?

Re: [Q] Missing "software updates" option in settings>about
Are u kidding me wow !
Well we might restore it to stock. You need to know about fastboot commands and you need the fastboot files on the pc
Nee is a tut on fastboot commands
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605720
Basically it comes to this, you need to put the phone in the bootloader and see a res text "fastboot usb" then you have to open a commandprompt inside the folder on the pc where your fastboot files are. There you type
Fastboot devices
If the serial pops up you are good to go

Okey you can do this :
1: download this RUU
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259284_signed.exe
2: charge the battery to 100%
3: put the phone in the fastboot usb mode
4: type this command in the commandprompt
Fastboot oem lock
It will relock the bootloader to be able to install the ruu
5: keep the phone in the fastboot usb mode after locking the bootloader
6: right click on the ruu.exe and execute with admin rights
This will flash the phone back to 100% stock, when the ruu flashed successfully you boot the phone and go into
Settings - about - softwareupdates and update the phone with all the updates you can get. That should het you to JB !

Ok, thanks for the detailed explanation :good: -- I just have a few more questions:
1. Is there a way to be sure this is the right file? Could it be that my version is wrong or something? or is it unmodifiable?
2. The file seems to match version: 1.29.709.7 and i have 1.29.709.12.... is this okay..? I read somewhere you should not use lower numbers, only higher or identical...
3. Would this wipe the data of the phone (photos , installed programs, etc.) -- or just replace the underlying operating-system?
I am charging my battery now....

1 yes its the right file .... 1.29.709 has to match (if it fails i have more options )
2 see number 1
3 it wipes EVERYTHING ....... So make a backup of the sdcard as well just to be sure (i hear different things about the sdcard so lets be safe and back it up)
if your main version was 2.17.709 you could not use a 1.29.709 ruu then you need at least a 2.17.709 ruu or higher. We cant downgrade but we can use the same base number or a higher one. Because we have s-on devices. If we had s-off we would be able to flash anything we like.....

How to get One X back to stock?

So I bought a second hand One X today. It's rooted and on Android Revolution rom.
How do I get the right RUU for my phone and how do install it etc.?
Thanks.

You need to perform a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
From there we can check for a ruu :thumbup:

Okay and how do I do that?

Oke here we go
Download the android sdk bundle (Google), unpack it and navigate to the platform tools folder ..... open a command window there
Point in the folder, hold shift + right mouse button and select "open command window here"
If you have HTC syncmanager installed ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers on .....
Then you put the phone in the bootloader by holding the power button + volume - button endlessly until you see the bootloader !!!
Then type this in the command window on the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main

It just says waiting for device. I have the correct drivers installed. Don't know what to do :/

Do you have MYHTC in the device manager in windows ?

No. And now I just can't get past fastboot, this thing is driving me nuts

I have the right RUU. I just can't get out of fasboot/bootloader and my battery is lower than 30% so i can't install it.

Can you enter the custom recovery ?

No - However I've got it out of fastboot now. It boots and works etc. but its still on the custom rom.
I have my right RUU - after the phone is charged to 30%, can I just flash the RUU? Not having to re-lock the bootloader? Cos that's how I got here in the first place.

Oke ! To install the ruu you need to
Relock the bootloader
Keep the phone in the bootloader
Execute the ruu from the pc with admin rights

Yes but when I did that last time it got stuck in the bootloader.

Yeah well there is no other way to install a ruu

I did it and the RUU just got stuck on the "checking..." part

How do you know you got the right ruu ? First you state that you dont know how to perform the getvar version command, so you never know the exact right main version. If you take it from the running arhd rom its 3.14.401 or 2.17.401.....the software number from the custom rom has nothing to do with the real main version of the phone. It can be completely different

It's ok. its all sorted now RUU works
Thanks for your help

Good !

You have a very old h-boot so you need to upgrade it first!!
So you need to flash the stock rom for your hboot or the ruu of your hboot and then when the hboot is 1.36 or 1.39 are the two best, you can flash a rom without problems!!
You dont have to unlock bootloader because is unlocked!

1: no
2: no
3: yes (explain at the end)
4: flash a new custom rom (better then stock)
5: no
6: you install a new rom by
Flashing the boot.img with fastboot commands, make a FULL wipe in recovery and install a new rom.
The easiest way to get you upgraded is to get you to full stock and update via official HTC ota
Can you perform a fastboot command :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Please post the number

Download ANDROID SDK BUNDLE (Google) unpack it and navigate to the platform tools. Point in that folder and hold down shift + click the right mouse button and select
Open command window here
Now put the phone in the bootloader and type in the command window on the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main
It will give the number we need for the right ruu !

Hmm strange......sure you opened the command prompt inside the folder where also the fastboot and adb files are ?
Using the original HTC cable, usb 2.0 port on the pc ?

I don't know what to think
Try a reboot of the pc and the phone ..... It should work. All the things seems to be in order. Maybe you have another pc around to test it on.

Backup everything from the phone you need, even a backup of the sdcard ! Because this will wipe all
1: charge the battery if its at low level
2: put the phone in the bootloader and relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
3: keep the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
4: select the ruu with a right mouse button click and select
"Run as administrator"
5: sit back and follow the installer
This will bring back the phone to full stock, after this you go into the settings menu - about - software updstes.....you update as much as you can until it doesn't detect any updates anymore !!!

[Q] Can't access recovery or start the 'normal'phone

Hello,
First of all, it has been a while since i've done tweaking my old one X, but my dad uses the phone now, and he asked me to update it, since the old rom crashed sometimes.
now i found out the was android 4.2 roms available for the one x, and wanted to flash them.
although, i figured out, i needed a higher Hboot, since mine was at 0.95, i needed 1.29+.
tried to figure out how this worked, and i thought i finally knew it, but than the last step wouldn't want to complete, while in RUU, it didn't want to do what it had to do..
so after some hours shouting at my pc and phone, i decided it had enough of it, and would just flash another rom, which didnt need the higher Hboot.
but now comes the crap...
i downloaded one_X_sfied rom, and i though hey its finally working, i saw the bars going green, and all the stuff..
but while rebooting the phone, it wouldnt go past HTC - quietly briliant - logo. so i decided to install it once more via recovery.
again all bars go green.. but this time it wouldnt start the phone either..
so i wanted to go back to recovery, but now it wont load recovery either! when i click on my recovery, it boots the phone again, and keeps rebooting at HTC logo..
i found out i made a mistake, and didnt flash the new kernel for this rom, i was little bit hurried.. so i guess overlooked it... stupid me, i know....
anyway, only thing i can access now is the fastboot and hboot, my bootloader is unlocked, and hboot is 0.95.
my cidnumber is: HTC E___11
there was another number, i thought RUU number, but i don't know the command to get it anymore, don't know if i need it..
anyway, now my question..
how do i ever get this phone working again, if it's even possible...?
any ideas?
thanks alot for reading and applying.
(sorry for grammar mistakes )
- edit -
now it somehow restarted the bootloader, and stops at ''checking sd card update...''
which means. i cant even get into fastboot either.. guess im screwed up now ... ----------lucky me, it shows the fastboot again.. sweat for nothing

what is your version?

what version do you mean?
RUU?

Have you flashed the right RUU for sure ? Try flashing again and remember that you have to relock the bootloader before !

i did not flash any RUU.
i don't know how to get that code, not the E11 thing, but those numbers.
if i am right i have to:
get the original RUU software.
flash this through fastboot using my CMD on PC
relock bootloader first.
but i need the correct RUU file first, and i don't know where to find, because i need that numers, i forgot the command to get it, and cant find it on internet now :\
---
anyway, is this correct? what i say above. -> download correct RUU file -> lock bootloader -> flash via PC -> than something else?
if im correct, i will have a original, non-rooted HOX. correct?

relock bootloader then run RUU. after that you can now update phone to Jellybean, root and flash custom rom.

1. connect phone
2. fastbootmode
3. command: fastboot oem lock
4. cammand: to ruu mode? - forgot this one, but i can find if i need it
5. run the downloaded RUU, - i have to run as admin on my PC?
thats it right?

No....
Boot to bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Then put the phone in the locked bootloader and run the ruu with administrator rights.
You can use this one

1. Boot your phone to fastboot mode by holding power+vol down button for 10 secs..(if your phone keeps restarting in normal phone mode, go to Setting>Power and untick Fast boot)
2. Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
3. cd to the location of your fastboot files folder
4. Relock bootloader - type command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
The phone will then restart into fastboot again showing "RELOCKED"
6. On your pc run the RUU that you downloaded earlier, follow the steps as prompted and patiently wait for it to finish.
REMEMBER your phone should be charged ABOVE 50% AND if the ruu or restore is INTERRUPTED 4 any reason during restore your
phone MAY be PERMANENTLY BRICKED..
