bootloader won't unlock (Too many links) - HTC One X

Okay, so i was just scrolling through my apps, then my phone randomly restarts, and wont go past the HTC Beats screen, and when it does, the screen is just black.
So i restart into bootloader, and it says "Locked" at the top, so it appears its relocked itself?
WHAT DO I DO? WAS rooted and running Revolution HD-9.8 ROM.
Thanks
Edit: Tried unlocking the bootloader again, no result, got error message "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 6.219s"
Edit: Battery is 3970mv, and i cannot get into recovery (i flash RUU HELP PLEASE.)
my friend Mr Hofs said to me your bootloader may unlock and only show locked !
i try to install CWM recovery !

hey when i flash RUU phone reboot and go to bootloader and i try to reboot (not anything happend only after 3sec show HTC logo and go to bootloader (recovery and factory rest like this)

The most important thing you didn't tell is that the RUU flashed successfully, and that the phone didn't boot up. And that your bootloader goes from unlocked to LOCKED instead of relocked as it should......
The failed status error is normal, its confirmed everywhere on xda

sorry ! screen shot in zip file

Seen the picture .. its freakin bizar ! Ruu matches and the bootloader is locked, ruu runs succesfull but the phone does not boot up..... Unlocking the bootloader is succesfull but the bootloader remains locked !
:banghead: i cant seem to understand this !

Is your recovery CWM or stock? If you were running ARHD I suppose you had a custom recovery aswell?
As far as i know RUU won't work until you flash stock recovery.
Hope this helps

Yes that's an option, but i tested a ruu once with custom recovery,kernel and rom and it worked flawlessly ! The main problem at this moment is that he flashes the .bin code and that the bootloader remain locked ! The commands are correct, but it refuses to unlock ......

Did he try to flash a custom rom despite the fact the boorloader says locked? Maybe it just says locked but is actually unlocked? Happend to me once and after rebooting into bootloader after flashing it said unlocked... dont ask why, just happened...

Yes i believe he tried that too, got faile attempt remote not allowed error.....he rebooted the bootloader a couple of times and it said unlocked indeed, maybe that's the solution....keep rebooting the bootloader untill it says unlocked and then start flashing directly
Its giving me a headache ..... Been thinking about this for 2 days already

You don't need to flash anything to use an ruu. The only thing that you need is a locked bootloader.
As the other user said. It may be reporting status wrongly. If you're going to try the ruu again. I suggest running fastboot OEM lock first just to make sure

Yes .... But can you tell me why the ruu ended up as successful ? I just dont seem to get that ?
Another thing ! If you bootloader says LOCKED you should also have full warranty !! If nothing else helps its best to go to the htc service center

One X Bricked?

Hey guys,
I might be wrong here but this is my last hope.
Rooted my One X yesterday, tried to install a .zip so that annoying menu bar would go away.
Didn't word out well, got in a 'bootloop', decided to install the stock RUU, but im getting this ERROR 120 30% massage.. i already tried different stuff but nothing seems to work.
Then things got worse, decided to let it charge for a while, but now i can't even get in recovery mode, it redirects it to fastboot.
Thnx in advance
You will need to relock the bootloader to flash the stock ROM
From fastboot do "fastboot oem lock" then try again. Try flashing from Fastboot and if that doesn't work try bootloader.
Alternatively, flash custom recovery and try flashing over original versions of the whatever files you replaced with your modification.

If you are certain your ruu is for your region and not corrupted then from http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...o-get-error-120-battery-less-than-30-a-2.html
Try this
Running Windows 7:
Make sure battery is over 30% (but that's why we're here, isn't it? It IS over 30%) Turn phone off Take battery out for a minute, then replace the battery DO NOT turn phone back on Plug into USB Hold VOL DOWN button and press the power button for 5 Seconds but don't let go of VOL button Make sure the choice FASTBOOT is highlighted and press the power button to select it You should see FASTBOOTUSB up top Stay on this screen while you go to your computer Exit HTC Sync if it's running, wait a minute, then open HTC Sync again, see if it connects (Mine didn't connect to sync, but I left the window open in the bkgrd) Open the updater and go through the steps. Update should begin without error message.
Hope this works for you guys. I tired countless ways to do it before breaking down and calling in. This way worked the first time for me.

If you relocked you also need to flash boot.img in fastboot from the stock rom you want to use.
Extract the ruu.exe and take the boot.img out, flash it using the adb tools and fastboot.

To extract contents from an RUU, do this.
Run the desired RUU
Go to search and type in '%temp%' (without the quotes)
A folder named 'temp' will appear, open that, and search in it for 'rom.zip'
Open the zip, and extract what u jeed from there.
And hit thanks!

@TheNetherTukkers, extract the boot_signed.img as theDroidfanatic beautiful explains.
Attached I have the adbtools, extract and put the folder on your desktop's c:\ together with boot_signed.img
So you have c:\adbtools\
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
boot_signed.img
Now put your device in fastboot mode and connect to your pc.
In start\search on your pc type 'cmd' without the quotes and hit enter.
In the command window that pops up browse to c:\adbtools and type the following:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img [hit enter]
fastboot erase cache [hit enter]
After this you go into fastboot again and flash the ruu.
got this,

I dont think its branded.. i mean i got it from Vodafone (holland) but i dont see a special RUU for that anywhere so i figured i had the genereal european version.
You must be sure about that because there do exist Vodafone updates.
Have a look HERE at the bottum, Vodafone roms for several countries. No Dutch dho.
Did you buy the phone straight from Vodafone or did you use a retailer?
Maybe you could check with them?

How do I Update Rooted HTC ONE X ?

Hi guys,
I have a rooted one X and want to install he latest update. I tried to relock my bootloader by starting fastboot and then type:
" fastboot oem relock"
Now my phone should be relocked and it does show relocked in pink in the bootloader, but under that stands security warning I don't kno if thats normal or important or something. I rebooted my phone and downloaded the update but when i try to install it i still get into the bootloader.
What am I doing wrong and how do I unlock my bootloader again after the update?
Sascha
You unlock by flashing the unlock_code.bin file again like you first did.
To apply an ota update you also need to reflash the stock recovery

Okay I unlocked my bootloader flashed my recovery.img and relocked my bootloader again. But still it reboots into the bootloader. Could it be my backup of the recovery.img is already wrong?? and if so where can i get the right one

You can try to following download stock recovery and download the RUU of your phone ( the same version as your latest official update ) then go to fastboot
Type
Fastboot flash recovery "your stock recovery " .img
Hit enter
Fastboot flash OEM lock
This might give an error but when you type it again it wil work
Now put your phone in fastboot again and then start your RUU from your pc if it gives an error just search for another One it will take about 10 min but after your phone will work fine

The problem with that ruu is that is has to jump from a very low hboot to a high hboot. It doesnt work somehow
Download this one
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...12-radio-2120413520-release-274900-signedexe/
Then put the phone in the bootloader and relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
After this you keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu from the pc with admin rights
Right click the ruu and select - run as administrator.
After all this you boot the phone and update via the settings - software update menu to Jellybean stock.
Then unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom recovery , make a nandroid backup and flash a new JB rom of your choice

[Q] Stuck in bootloader mode. No wifi. Adb can't find devices

Okay so, I had a problem of having no OS and had my htc m8 on soft brick for a while but i finally got that resolved by flashing a new rom on it. ( Here it is if you want to read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-installed-transfer-files-t3018626)
Unfortunately, I wasn't getting wifi on it. I tried 2 other roms and still no dice. I read online that i needed to update my firmware to do that. To do that, I needed to relock my bootloader so I did and the firmware flashed successfully.
Now my hboot is 3.19 instead of 3.16 and my bootloader says RELOCKED.However, when i go into recovery mode, my phone shows a picture of the dead android. I can't get past the bootscreen either so my phone is stuck on bootloader mode.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712 to help me get my phone unlocked again cause the unlock code at htc dev wont work again.
However, when i write adb devices, no serial number shows up now. adb shell says no devices connected.
I tried pushing and flashing a new recovery and rom in cmd and it said it failed.
I'm really grasping at straws at this moment since I can't really do anything.
Are you sure you are updated? In the bootloader, what does it say for "os"?
And what roms are you trying to flash? 4.4.4 or Lollipop?
And to unlock bootloader, start over at HTC Dev. See what happens. Instead of trying old code.
You can't flash a recovery with a locked bootloader.
I'm pretty sure it updated because everything looks different. Bootloader's background is black instead of white now too. When I flashed the firmware, everything seemed to be okay as well. . .
my OS says 3.11.1700.5
and i tried it at dev and generated a code, but it gave me an error and didn't give me a file. I tried to use my old file but that didnt work.
Personally, in your situation now..... I'd flash the correct RUU for your device, then use Sunshine to s-off. Then you'll be bootloader unlocked also and can flash recovery, root and all that.
You'll need the same Android version RUU that matches your firmware now.
See this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Without Sunshine... I can't say why HTC Dev isn't helping.

Like I said, recoveries wont flash cause its stuck on Relocked mode. I cant fix that because adb devices wont see my phone.
All the other commands on the All-in-One root kit gives me this:" 'C:\Users\Admin' is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file " regardless of where i do it. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.
I tried to put the 0p6bimg.zip file but it wont copy on to my sd card cause of some error saying not responding or disconnected.
I tried flashing it instead but it said the file was too large
I tried the latest firmware but it said Failed! verification error.
I tried using the RUU to update and it stopped on the 1/7 process saying Error 155: Unknown Error.
I think what i need to do and how to fix it but I just need adb devices to find my phone.
If i can do that I can unlock my bootloader, install a recovery, install a rom and be home free but I can't do that until it detects my phone. I've tried everything now including reinstalling my drivers three times now.
Please help :'(
You don't need adb devices to see the device. You need to put the phone in the bootloader and type fastboot devices.
Open the command prompt inside the folder where also the fastboot.exe file is located.
Like Mr Hofs said...The bootloader gets unlocked in bootloader/fastboot mode.

No, you guys. I already said this. I already used the htc dev the first time to get my phone unlocked. I had to relock it to flash a firmware. Now I can't unlock it again.The token isn't working. I already used the token once and its not working for the second time. I need adb devices to use adb shell. That way I can adb push revone and unlock my bootloader, but im not sure if that would work either.
Edit: I tried htc dev by generating a code 3 times. It generated different ones, the last one worked.
Ok something is still wrong.
I flashed cwm 6.0.4.8, did a full wipe, installed supersu and installed the android revolution rom. When I reboot, it says I am not rooted, root now? I pressed yes and it reboot.
The phone goes into htc bootscreen for 2 minutes, reboots again and then goes into recovery mode. What do I do now?

Try flashing the boot.img again.
Clear the Cache.
If it still doesn't work then it might be best to just flash the ROM again.
Is your bootloader still show GPE version no. ?
If yes, how do you expect to flash a Sense ROM on GPE partition ?

Back to Stock Recovery and Booload lock with S-ON

Hello,
so I got the HTC 10 from my brother but I can not get the latest updates via OTA. Reason: Bootload unlocked und TWRP Recovery.
Now I wanna relock the bootloader and back to the Stock Recovery in order to get the OTA upates. I found files in the thread but I do not really know how to proceed at all
Is there any step by step guide for this situation which a newbie would understand?
Some Info's to the phone itself:
Recovery: TWRP 3.03-10_Unofficial
S-On
Unlocked Bootloader
CID: HTC_034
Android 7.0, January Security update
Software: 2.41.401.4
Kernel: 3.18.31-perf-g9ec8cbc and @aabm#1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: [email protected]_79.07_F
Is there any way to simply flash the stock recovery again put the bootloader to locked and then get the OTA?
Any help is appreciated
(And no can not ask my brother as he is for several months abroad)

Bootloader status does not affect ability to take OTAs.
You need two things mainly to take the OTA:
1. Stock recovery matching your current software
2. An untouched backup image of the system partition matching your current software. This is needed if you're currently rooted.
Both can probably be found in the thread you linked. The backup image is flashed from twrp. The stock recovery is then flashed from download mode using this command:
Fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
But even after doing that, you might still get an error when trying to take the OTA. Easiest way to take it is to start from scratch, backup your phone's contents to your pc or sd card, and then run the latest ruu for your phone. This will bring you up to date, and will also allow you to make a backup system image from twrp before rooting so that you can easily take future OTAs. The ruu will also completely wipe your phone's contents.
So you can try the first method I mentioned, and if it doesn't work go with the ruu.
As your brother may root it before so the system may got modify, in this case the best and easiest way is flash a RUU.
Try this RUU, http://dl3.htc.com/application/[email protected]_79.07_F_release_495903_signed_2.exe
A RUU will restore your HTC 10 back to stock and wipe out everything. It require a match CID or super CID, if not it will not flash.
I tried to flash RUU via sd card method as well as fastboot method. Both got failed
sd card: Header Error
fastboot: load_file: could not allocate 1950335038 bytes
error: cannot load '2PS6IMG.zip'
Im running on venom rom , S ON with oem unlocked. How can i go back to stock rom??
Mine is 2.41.401.41

This RUU worked perfectly. And no the phone was not rooted, just unlocked Bootloader and TWRP as Recovery.
After flashing the RUU I got the July Security Patch and that is what I wanted.
Thank you very much, Problem solved

It is a EXE, you should run on windows instead of using the sdcard method, as for the not enough space I am not sure about

Nah, i downloaded the exe and the zip file also.
Anyway fixed it. Just restored from a nandroid backup. Now back in stock
PS:In btw, anyone facing any battery drop issue??
So I run in another Problem. I got the latest OTA for Europe (July Security Patch) but now my Phone gets shown as uncertified in the google play app which means I can not download certain apps like Netflix via Appstore.
Now I already figured out why I get shown uncertified: the Bootload is still unlocked. I thought the RUU would fix this as well. And if I wanna go in to the recovery (there was an TWRP Recovery on it before) I just get a red triangle with an "!" in it. It wont boot into recovery. Had to hard reset the phone to be able to boot normally to android then.
Now I wanna flash the stock recovery and lock the Bootload again to get again the certified status from google again.
Now here I need help.
1. Can't find the matching recovery version (EU unlocked, July Securtiy Patch, 2.41.401.41). Can anyone help me find the recovery image I need?
2. How do I get the bootload locked again? My Brother unlocked it via HTCdev.com back then, that I know already. But the command fastboot oem lock does not work at all. It just does nothing.
So how can I lock the bootloader?
Thanks for the help.
If you ran the RUU you already have stock recovery...red triangle with an "!" in it.
Are you running the fastboot oem lock from bootloader or download mode?

Haha well then everything is ok with the recovery ^^
I tried both (download and bootloader mode), both times nothing happens. In download mode my PC does not even recognize the phone as the command "adb devices" does not list my phone and the command "fastboot oem lock" does nothing. HTCsnyc installed and ofc adb shell, worked even as when I normally checked with adb devices when my phone was on it was recognized.

Alright this command works and shows my device.
Now I am in bootloader (Shows Software Status: Modified; Unlocked, S-ON). Then I type in "fastboot oem lock" and I get:
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.014s
Well at least now I get something, before just nothing happened. Any clue what I might do wrong here?
*edit*
So I am a big noob
Phone has to be in download mode then the command works and my phone shows me a message if I want to lock again. Unfortunately it will factory reset my phone as well (at least it says that) so I have to backup my data (again) first.
But thank you for your help, appreciate it.
Cheers!
So I did lock the phone again and flashed again the RUU.exe BUT again my Phone shows in Bootloader Software Status as Modified...and it shows as Relocked.
So how do I get it to official status again?

By buying sunshine S-OFF. Only way to see the bootloader back to "locked" instead of "relocked"

Ye found a thread to it. But seems I dont need it. My Phone gets shown as certified again at google play store so I assume just "relocking" the bootloader seems to be enough.
