I was just browsing my phone when something came up on the phone about an update, it wasn't the rom or htc update, then as I thought about what to do the screen went blank back light still on, I let it for a minute or so in the hope it would resolve itself but nothing, so I held the power button to reset the phone turned off and since then I have been unable to turn it on again, in the device manager when I connect the phone it says APX some times dropbox will show and ask if I want to scan for photo's
Help the phone is rooted and I'm worried about the warranty!!!
Thanks In advance

Stop worrying about the warranty. As far as a problem like this goes, you don't have one.
You say you held down power to reboot and now you can't turn on but you go on to say drop box sometimes works? Can you elaborate?

It came on once and said there were no photos to update, it hasn't come up since, all I get is APX, if I hold power it goes off for second then APX comes up in device manager, I've also installed the apx drivers and I can use nvflash but I wouldn't know the first thing about what to do here, nv flash does work though.

I dont think APX drivers are of any use to you but if you can boot into bootloader then you should be able to flash custom recovery, how did you manage to boot into bootloader from apx mode, did your screen come on when you were in apx mode???
My phone does not boot blank screen can boot it at all

Could you explain to everybody here what you did exactly ? Might be interesting for a few people here !
1 : Did it happen just by waiting for some time ?
2 : Did it happen by rebooting the phone ?
3 : It went into recovery when i .......
through APX mode we can flash bootloader i think, so if we'll know how to use it properly (how to enter in it, work with it, and exit from it), we won't need s-off!
so if somebody came out from apx, it's a good starting

By rest do you mean with it charging or not? As I am now having this problem and need a way out!
I think its very difficult to flash stuff with nvflash on a protected apx mode.
I got out of this for leaving the phone on charge for a short while, then whilst still on charge powering on and it came back to life!
Hi all, I've began to realise that no one can help get me out of APX mode on my one x but after reading stories about the Asus Transformer battery reset and LG optimus reboot from apx I am convinced there must be a way to get the device to reboot into bootloader or perhaps flash a boot.img to reboot the phone.
I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced apx and what they did about it......?
And if anyone can explain what may have happened to cause the phone to simply go dead and stay stuck in APX mode. A bad boot.img, overheating(although it didn't seem to be hot)ect....?
If I was to have the phone repaired where would I be able to do that in the uk apart from the network and HTC?
Does anyone think that removing and replacing the battery will allow the phone to boot normally?
My phone is also in APX mode after a strange crash during flashing a ROM and a strange kernel flash...
what is apx mod?

Muy phone does not boot at all, when I plug into the pc it says apx in device manager, what ever I try it will not boot
a friend of mine had the same after playing for an hour or so.
The Device won't boot up at all and only showed apx in device manager.
Send it to htc or wait till there's a solution for that.
APX mode == NVFlash recovery mode. A low-level recovery mode that allows you to flash the whole device. There's no known way of getting to this mode, but several people are reporting it and suggesting a faulty device is to blame.
You can try using NVFlash utility for Tegra 3 to find out more. Fetch partition table, download partition data, flash new data etc. Search forums for more info on nvflash.
But, chances are that your phone is just busted.
HOX in APX mode
I have HOX indicating APX in device manager. Just tu add one more sad story with short description of attempts to solve it.
I have two HOX one is ok. Both handesets diassembled fixed WIFI issue changed battery from good one to bad with no results, when replaced motherboard everything works well but that is half of the phone. APX is still appearing in device manager when only motherboard connected.
Tried all other methods nvflash, drivers etc as others with no results. Hope something will leak soon.
I also bought two, one for my son. His has the same problem. It won't boot but shows in devices as apx device on the pc.
Took it to my supplier four weeks ago and after many emails they tell me it is fixed but they wont send it for another week.
It took ages to get it delivered the first time. Last time I buy gadgets online. Any other Aussies get one from Topbuy or Kogan and had trouble with warranty?
Sadly mine got stuck in apx mode and I returned it to my carrier 3UK. They said it was due to me loading illegal software on it and demanded I pay them £76 to repair it. So I want my phone back now and agreed to pay it on my next bill, I will dispute it when I get it back. Looks more and more like hardware to me.
APX Mode is supposed to allow access to an nVidia based device if it is soft-bricked, but unlike other nVidia based devices such as the ASUS Transformer TF 101/201 or LG Optimus 2X, it is impossible to revive an HTC One X that is stuck in APX Mode. No-one has a guaranteed way of getting into APX mode, let alone getting out of it. As you may or may not know, the One X is very locked down and restricted. The bootloader is locked, and it's very hard to get updated stock ROMs as RUUs. Surprisingly, it is easier to get a custom ROM working through fastboot/recovery than it is to get a stock ROM working due to all the restrictions.
In fact, the One X is so locked down that even NVFlash cannot access it in APX Mode.
For example, if you try to send any commands to a One X using NVFlash, all you'll get in return is this error due to its heavy restriction:
Code:
Command send failed (usb write failed)
I have wasted 5 hours trying to revive a One X stuck in APX Mode, only to discover that it is impossible. Even HTC themselves can't fix a One X stuck in APX Mode - that is why they accuse you of installing illegal software, but in truth they have to replace the motherboard because they locked themselves out of their own hardware. This is a result of flawed internal hardware design.
So in short, don't think just because a computer can dectect the One X means that you can still save it. There is a barrier in the device itself that is above software-level.
Ah yes, this "news" is not new ...... its a known problem for several months already.
But thank you for sharing
A search would have come up with several threads, this is one of them
i am trying to fix a one x stucked at apx mode :/...are there any news about this issue?? probably a fix?

Hi guys,
Some time ago, my HOX (everything stock) decided to loop boot and entering by itself in the bootloader menu. I tried to fiddle around with the options but the phone kept loop booting/[email protected]/enter bootloader. I left it discharge for some time (about 2 months I think). Now it won't power on (no LED, black screen). Connected to the PC, it shows up as 'APX' in device manager.
What are the steps to getting it working again?
Thanks in advance.

Take a couple of deep breaths and follow the RUU-instructions you can find in several topics here. The empty battery shouldn't be a problem. After one of my misflashes (yep, test some and screw it up sometimes ) i leave my phone bootlooping when charging. Leave it so for a night and de the battery will be charged enough to pull you trough the RUU-process.

Probably you will wait until somebody find or some info leak about Tegra3 NVFLASH for HTC ONE X. I have two HTC ONE X one is in APX mode
i replaced motherboard from this good one to bad and it was working, but that is expensive solution.
Up to now it is not possible to NVFLASH new bootloader (hboot) without HTC service. Hope something will apear soon.
Anyway i suspect that due to overheating there is some hardware fault, mine unit was in the car during somertime and i noticed to late
that position is not good. And as other people reported several force close, and going to boot loader itself then all stops just APX appeared
in device manager, also when you take off motherboard and connnect it to computer (only motherboard it also indicate APX after some minutes.
Until good news . bye!

If you phone boots into APX mode its because of a hardware failure that causes the firm/software to crash.
Theres no way to fix it yourself without replacing hardware stuff. Your Hoxis still under full warranty, send it for repair.
maybe this one will help you .. i manage to get out in apx mode by holding volume + button then plug charger .. ) then red light comes out .. leave for a full night .. then fry to open it . it will bootloop because you are in a bootloop state then try to access fastboot .. ) hit thanks if i helped you ...

HOX APX
I tried vol+ and power connect as suggested but no any indication, except APX disappear and unknown device appear, then on power on APX appear again. But tks anyway .
Htc locked apx mode, hence if you can access it either your board is fully discharged(rare cases) or something is burnt and it cannot be fixed without hardware replacement.

No its not.
APX mode is the first mode the device will ever see, it is the first part of its life and the APX mode is used to flash software onto it. Its like flashing the boot.img etc but at the very start of the devices life. Hense why it can be flashed without an unlocked bootloader or rooted etc.
APX mode isnt well known with the HOX however, and HTC will not help at all, as they know this is a work around from unlocking the phone to flash, which voids their warranty.
If your in APX mode, I would try and get the RUU for your device and run that.

I know that the APX Mode is the lowest software level of our devices, its more or less the BIOS of Android/Linux...
But do you know why NO one managed to boot into APX Mode on the HOX so far...WITHOUT a broken device? (-:
If you're following the Hox forums you will notice that there are sevearl threads about hox that are stucking in apx mode and once you are in apx mode their isnt a way yet to bring it back to life again. Often you will read as well, that the Hox behaved werid before, it was dropped, battery complety drained, or whatever...so i'm 99% sure that the reason that the Hox booted into APX Mode is a hardware defect/bug that leads the firmware to crash and boots the device into APX Mode.
..and no just running a RUU wont work. Also installing the correct nvflash drivers for you desktop OS wont help.
Your Desktop PC wont recognize your Device anymore...at least not in the state that is required to falsh it. It will show that your device is in APX mode..and here you are definatly not able to run a RUU.

Hey everyone,
I have read the various topics with a similar title but none helped.
Here is my problem, I bought a used HTC Desire on eBay. It booted just fine on the first start, then I did a factory reset (from within the Android system menu).
Since then, I'm stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo. I have tried to get into bootloader mode by removing the battery, holding vol down and power, but it just goes straight to the white screen again.
Also connected the phone to the pc, but adb isn't picking up anything...
Any ideas?
Try Power+Back button.
just got one step further:
I can get into fastboot mode with BACK + POWER. But volume keys doesn't work, is that a known issue that I can solve somehow?

Then you'll have to flash a RUU to make it work.

It's official HTC Firmware. Your phone will boot after this.
So:
1. Install HTC Sync.
2. Download and extract the RUU.exe from the zip (It's somewhere in there)
3. Run the exe while you connect your phone in fastboot (Power+Back)
4. Wait for it to install
5. Boot

This may be the reason:

But now I have a bootloop, device starts, vibrates 1 time, waits for 3 seconds, and then vibrates 7 times. And restarts...
Ok. Tests are done.
According to the screenshot above and the 7 vibrations, you have a radio brick. It's a brick that can hardly be overcome.
The only solution is flashing the RUU and hoping that the phone will eventually boot.
That's why I don't buy second hand phones.

freecer did it, was able to flash the 2.3 RUU again successfully. But now I'm back at the bootloop, but now, it simply does vibrate once (no more 7 vibrations) and reboots after some seconds.
So what can I do now? RUU flashed successfully, I'm running out of ideas...
and again the freezer did it, put it in, normally started via POWER button, it booted right through into Android.
Well, let's see if it keeps running now or if this overheating issue also exists in normal operation mode...
Thanks so much for you help so far, the freezer hint saved this device and hopefully will make my gf very happy tomorrow

it is a PCT3 device.
but the overheating-reboot issue is rendering it useless. I can use it just fine outside (-2° currently) but as soon as I'm inside, boot-loop...
Anything I can do from a hardware perspective to fix that? Sending it in for repair/replacement is not an option, it's simply not worth the cost.
do you think installing a custom rom of any kind might help?

It's a motherboard fault. If you don't send it to repair, you just got yourself an "Ice-Phone", or a very complex paper holder.
i think a custom rom would help a small bit, like the rom in abaaaabbbb63 sig (mildwild redux) because its small and lite unlike a sense rom. therefor it mite not overheat as quick or as often. but thats only a guess. the only dodgy thing is trying to get ur phone s-off or rooted because if ur phone overheats in the middle of the s-off/rooting progress u could brick ur phone. plus charge ur phone using ur computer coz it uses less power and the phone does'nt heat up as much as plugging into the wall.

Lol oke i understand that, but afaik apx is almost the same as a brick anyway.......
Apx mode is related to a hardware failure there is no way to get out of apx mode HTC will simply replace the main board on the device when this happens. I am convinced that my one x failed due to the sound enhancements and the heat problems I had with this phone this is why I only rooted my next phone just before my upgrade.
