[Q] Boot Loop Help! - HTC One V

Hey,
Just downloaded a custom rom for my rooted HTC One V. I had some problems with my last rom in terms of boot.img flashing so when i flashed my next rom (Xperia One) I flashed boot.img afterwards as instructed and entered a boot loop.
I have tried several things (including factory reset) but nothing seems to get me past the white HTC logo screen with the red font spelling: "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."
Also I can access bootloader and recovery mode but I cant seem to install any of the roms that are on my sd card.
I have read in several places something about finding the right "Ruu" I live in Mexico so I haven´t found anyone that says something other than europe and usa. If it helps this is my bootloader screen:
" Unlocked
PRIMOU PUT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.16.000
RADIO-3831.17.00.23_2
eMMC-boot
Mar 13 2012, 20:17:28"
So yeah, anyone have a suggestion to what i should try next or maybe a link to a similar thread I've hopefully haven't explored?

Make sure you have the proper Kernel compatible with the rom. Dont flash the boot.img in the rom package as I have found they never work. Also make sure you have the "GSM" version of the rom and kernel as your phone is a "primou".
Sorry if i'm telling you stuff you already know. This link helped me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665

This is very helpful information thank you. By any chance do you happen to know about Ruu's? I've come to the decision that I need to flash one but my problem is I live in Mexico and every RUU list I find has them seperated by regions. Is there a specific one I need?

Choose your rom for your phone "One V Android Development" for sense rom and "One V Original Android Development" for Cyanogen
And again your phone is GSM, not CDMA ... Xperia One for CDMA lol

You rarely have to flash the boot.img inside the rom.zip,a separate img is to be used.

thanks for your help mate, that link is already saved on my bookmark, still no updates for RUU for HTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11
>ok what i did, i update OTA my HOX from version 1.28 to this 1.29.707.11
then i installed a custom tweak for status bar, knowing that it's not compatible with new version anymore, so after installing my status bar went blank, its gone...
so i decided to try to install a custom rom, i tried HD Revolution..
I copied the ROM file, then followed steps, like flashed superswipe then flashed the rom in the recovery... the custom rom is based on a different version, so it failed to install, then since i did a superswipe, now all files including system files on my phone is gone, it's completely empty
now my phone boots only up to the HTC logo screen...
the only solution that i can think is to flash RUU of 1.29.707.11.. is there any other option on how to fix this???

Hello onat_kippz,
I'm facing the same problem as you too. I think I'm in a "bootloop", can't get pass the HTC one(TM) screen with the beatsaudio logo at the bottom. You are facing the same thing too?
Like you, I have tried a few versions of RUU (ASIA WWE 1.28.707.10 and ASIA SEA WWE 1.29.728.12), the first one gave me an Error 140: Bootloader version error, and the second one i got an Error 130: Model ID Error. I was previously on 1.29.707.11.
Other than waiting for the RUU version to come out, have you thought of any ideas? I tried mounting the device in recovery mode and try to push a custom rom img file over, but i couldn't mount it at all. Would have been easier if there is an external microSD card slot. Never thought highly of the feature until now...
How I got into this mess in the first place? I was just trying to remove the irritating 3-dot menu at the bottom of most apps, and trying to save some screen real estate. Much regrets...
By the way, which country is your device from? Mine is from Malaysia.
I'm downloading the 1.29.707.11 and will upload and post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 in next two hours if there is no one else upload it.
@maverickfoo

First some ground rules:
-You have to use your region's RUU (XXX in RUU x.xx.XXX.x name)
-You cannot install previous version of RUU on your phone once you install a newer version with a newer HBOOT. It won't work.
-With most custom ROMs, since they don't upgrade HBOOT even though they use a newer base such as 401.11, you have the freedom of going to a previous RUU version.
Once you download your RUU, take a look at here (thanks to JDR0iD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
Also, you can use this tool to make your lifes easier (thanks to hasoon2000):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24967468&postcount=1
If you don't want to lose whatever is on your phone, I would recommend running the RUU installer and while it's waiting for your OK on your PC, go to your %temp% directory, find the latest directory created, there you will find the rom.zip. Copy that to somewhere else (like your desktop), unzip and you will see all the img files you need: boot.img recovery.img hboot.img etc. Then you can use the tool in the second link to install these image files in proper order.
Or, if you don't care whats on the phone, hit OK on the RUU window
Thanks! problem solved!

[Q][HELP][EMERGENCY] HTC One V Bricked REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE!

Hello guys,
I'm not gonna keep it short, because this is really important.
I recently bought my HTC One V and rooted it today. After a lot of trying, I flashed Clockworkmod on it.
After doing this, I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, so I wiped all system data, etc.
This went wrong, because I did something wrong that did not allow me to flash custom ROMs.
So here's my problem: I'm stuck! I cannot boot my phone, I get the HTC logo with some text like this:
"This version is distributed for developer purposes only...", etc.
So, I don't have any OS installed on my phone, I can only access my fastboot menu, CWM and stuff like that.
I tried installing other ROMs but it just does not work. This proves I screwed it up.
Then, after 2 hours of intensive Googling, I found this thing called RUU recoveries. I tried to find it for my HTC One V. Then, after another 30 minutes of Googling, I found it, downloaded it (took me another hour or so with the stupid server), opened it but got the error that I got the wrong version of the RUU Update Utility.
I cannot find the right one, I think it doesn't exist, because I live in the Netherlands and my carrier is Vodafone.
PLEASE HELP ME. How can I do a factory reset with the stock firmware? Please I really need help because I just bought this phone and I'm just a teenager so I can't afford another one.
ALSO PLEASE RESPOND ONLY IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Hello ofadlaoui,
I might be able to help if you can give me some information from your fastboot menu. Copy all of the text. It should look something like:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.blah blah blah
RADIO- 1.blah blah blah
eMMC- boot
Some date in 2012, some time
Also as a second thought, did you flash the proper kernel/any kernel at all? That might be the problem that you're facing. Or the proper ROM... anyways, shoot me back a reply and I'll see if I can't find that goshdarn RUU for you.
Cheers, worldindo1.
Some personal notes: The CID for Vodafone NL is VODAPE17. Region code is x.xx.161.xx (Vodafone UK, which I found strange since Vodafone Switzerland-Germany is closer). Just need the hboot & radio versions you have and I can see if I might be able to get you a proper RUU.

Hey man,
First of all, thanks for replying. To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about, as I am an Android amateur. I only used the Update Utility of HTC to try and flash the RUU but it didn't work. Anyway, I booted my device in HBOOT and this is what it says:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-3831.21.00.19_M
eMMC-boot

Patiently waiting for your answer, thanks a lot!
Don't worry... I hope u haven't flashed kernel.. first flash kernel then ur ROM...follow the steps correctly from given link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665
Hit thanks if I helped u...
Your device isn't bricked because it boots.. Just download the right kernel and the right rom and flash it according to the guides that can be found on this forum
Chill out man, yours is not bricked.
If you're using HOV CDMA, search custom rom in CDMA/PrimoC section.
But if you're using HOV GSM, then search in GSM/PrimoU section here or here.
Make sure if you choose Sense-based rom (MySense, MIUI, etc), pick the latest Titanium-Kiss kernel by Maxwen.
And if you choose CM10 based rom (PA, CM10, EverVolv, etc), pick the latest HellBoy by Maxwen, or SuperSick kernel by Simonsimons34.
Then after that, just copy the custom rom to your sd card, flash it to your phone.
Choose the right kernel & flash it too.
Voila! Your phone is ready to kick some asses.
Hope it turned out ok. Let us know how it goes. the advice others have given should get you back up and running.

You are on GSM so go pick out from those "here" or "here". If this doesn't work, do not despair as I will try to find the RUU for you. Hopefully it was just an improper ROM or kernel. If one of those ROMs/kernels works get back to me and I'll drop the search but from this point I will be scouring the stinkiest, smelliest, grungiest corners of the internet.
Hello, I'm completely new and completely stuck.
I decided yesterday to root my phone and try and install slim bean following these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572
It all seemed to install properly and I thought it was all a piece of cake. However, much like the original poster my phone is now stuck on the HTC logo screen.
I have tried restoring my nandroid backup (if that's the right name/term) but it doesn't help. I have tried all-sorts of other things but none seem to work. So I assumed I must have to use a RUU. I tried to find one that is compatible but I get an error which says the model is incorrect or wrong, or whatever when I use it.
I have pretty much exactly the same fastboot details as the original chap, except for the date is different.
I cannot find an RUU with the same radio numbers (I don't know if that is important), the current one I'm using is the Europe one from here...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9187896-post22.html
The H3G UK ones are no longer available. I've also looked on androidfiles RUU page but they seem to have none for HTC One.
I am at a complete loss as to what I can do. You guys seems to have a wealth of knowledge and so I am hoping you'll be able to sort me out, if you can I thank you in advance!

As it said in the OP on the Slim Bean ROM topic, you have to use a CM10 compatible kernel, such as maxwen's kernel. You can find this on One V Original Android Development.

Hmmm, I guess I must have downloaded the wrong kernel - I thought I was using the right one. Anyway, it's working now, just to need to get some service signal then I'll be done, I hope.

[Q] Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?

Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and I Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!

Thank you for your input, but I already done that which resulted no success for me. The only way for me to overcome these black screens was by flashing:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This makes my device fully functional again but it just leaves me locked on ICS because when do the OTA updates, Flash JB ruu's or even flash custom JB roms I just get stuck on bootloops. I don't seem to get one JB version of android working on my device. Thats why I'm here seeking for help from geniuses like yourself. At the moment my device is back on android 4.0.4 but thats about it. It works perfectly fine on this version but I just can't update no matter what way I try I end up in a bootloop

I flashed the asian ruu first because my CID used to be HTC__621 which requires TW ruu's (I tried the JB one) also on the back of my device it says made in Taiwan. But after flashing the rom it didn't work and put me in a bootloop so I changed my CID to 11111111 and flashed the European ruu ( I tried the JB one) which also didn't work and ended up putting me in a bootloop. It was my friends father who then changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the European ICS ruu which worked flawlessly. Do think I should flash the ruu you recommended? because its a ICS ruu and I'm trying to get to JB. Anyway I really thank you for trying to help me, you are the only one who replied to me
Look at this image it shows you that my device was made in Taiwan

Actually @Thant replied also, try what he suggests at the bottom of his post to update your hboot, it's a different one to the one you tried, then try a higher ruu
I am wondering why everyone, OP and those attempting to assist, are assuming that what is apparently a prototype model of the One X would even be compatible with the updates.
If it is a prototype, regardless of how it identifies itself, it may have differences that simply prevent ANY of these software versions from operating.
I think that is one possibility the OP may have to be prepared for.

That had crossed my mind actually, but he is receiving ota notifications and the results he posted from "getvar all" indicate everything is as it should be, same model number even.
I have come across an early prototype before and the only 2 differences were the casing and slightly larger headphone jack socket. AFAIK the hardware was the same. Unfortunately, the one I saw wasn't working so I don't know what version of android it had

china mobile TD-LTE version m8t - flashed recovery while S-ON

hi everyone,
i think i am having a somewhat larger problem. i got the TD-LTE version of the m8 (called m8t) today, and i went ahead and unlocked the bootloader, and flashed a custom recovery WITHOUT doing a backup.
now, the initial splash screen gives a warning message (see pictures) message and i am stuck in the bootloader.
i was looking for a stock recovery ... but didn't find anything (yet)
the idea was to try to get the GPE rom onto this, and i was prepared to possibly see it bricked at that point, but forgetting S-OFF is a bit ... humiliating.
<edit>
i just realized: there isn't even a proper question in my post, so here it is:
can anyone help me out with this? what should i do?

it will not boot, because the s-on prevents it. i did:
Code:
$ fastboot erase cache
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img
Code:
$ fastboot reboot
and that's how i ended up there.
one question i would have is - do i need to flash the recovery back to whatever was on there before? or would a ruu stock do? could i run into trouble for flashing a "regular" LTE stock rom on a tdd LTE phone?

I believe there are no RUUs available yet!
seems like you soft "bricked" your M8 TD because you flashed the recovery as kernel so if you dont have a backup of your kernel you will have to send in your device for repair because no RUU is avaible for any M8 you can try to ask someone with unlocked bootloader and the same m8 type (china mobile) to make a backup of his kernel and send it to you !

What weird advice is that.....
@ the OP.
Get the rom you wanted on it, reflash the custom recovery first :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and flash the boot.img of the custom rom you want :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
That sorts the partitions and then head over to the recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip
To put the rom on the phone you can mount it as a usb disk drive in the recovery.

Sorry dude but he has a M8_TL and our international HTC One M8 is M8_UL so i think he cant use our kernels and roms and recovery ! But if you know that it would work everything is fine

i did this. it's not great, it still doesn't go into recovery, and it also doesn't boot normally. HOWEVER: i am thrilled to report that at least SOMETHING changed.
i still have the "tampered" banner at the top, which is, i assume, because it STILL is a wrong kernel. but when i try to go into fastboot, it says "entering recovery" for a second, and then goes back into the bootloader. before that, it would take ages, then show a red triangle.
does anybody have other, "stock" recovery and/or boot images?
if i buy a second one (exactly the same, chinese version), how difficult is it to extract those from it? not that i am looking forward to spending another 800USD .... just weighing my options here.
The exact same issue
Hello bro, i have the exact same issue, i didnt know i had to have a TWRP (recovery flash thingy for china mobile) so i just used one i found online while following instructions and i got the same problem, my phone does start after i click reboot on the fastboot mode, but again i am stuck with the SINA WEIBO login which is what made me want to root it on the first place, i went ahead and talked to a chinese tech and he gave me a file that he said would install all the google apps which is what i want (I NEED GOOGLE PLAY AND GMAIL) but since the kernel i installed is wrong, then the phone just reboots and goes straight to fastboot mode, which doesnt let it complete the installation of the google apps!
have you been able to solve your issue?

I have the correct recovery.img for the M8t now - I have rooted my own China Mobile 4G phone. However, I don't know how to upload the file or how to get a backup of the original boot.img Happy to help if one of you can tell me what to do. The website with the recovery on is in China and is sometimes OK, somethimes not - AND you need to register on the forum to get the file - not easy for non Chinese people! (like me!)
Hi, It seems that you flashed a custom ROM on the htc one m8t without S-OFF!! You can only flash ROMs that are branded for M8T (China mobile TD), because the custom kernal will not be flashed and youll be stuck at bootloader screen.
If you need to add google apps to your handset you follow the instructions on the thread link below, until then you CAN NOT flash other custom ROMS until a solution to make the M8T S-OFF is discovered (I tried Firewater and it did not work, but the chinese has made a hardware solution for S-OFF of M8T:laugh.

in the meantime, a few weeks ago, i have found someone on taobao who had the stock ROM. this should by now be publicly available. and he also s-offed it for me. he claimed that (at that time) only very few other people would've been able to do that. he used a gold card.
but as we all know, this is just a matter of time - sooner or later, everything ends up in the open.

[Q] please help - Upgrading RADIO because no signal

Hi all
My HTC ONE X has a famous problem: stuck in airplane mode, though Wifi and BT do work. I cannot make calls however, and baseband version is uknown. I thought of updating RADIO and I hope/think it will solve something.
I am on S-ON but with custom ROM installed (Lollipop, AICP). Another ROM does not solve the problem.
Which RADIO could I try? I searched all over the internet, with many already asked if RADIO is country dependent but almost no-one replying to that. So: could I try one?
I already downloaded the last one of this site: http: //w ww.soulfly-rulz. de/HTC-One-X/Radio/ without the spaces because I cannot post links until 10 posts. It is mentioned in the Radio thread.
I live in Holland, using Android 5 and have the Tegra 3 CPU. Could I install it or do I have to choose another RADIO?
Thanks

just flash boot.img from rom zip using this command(from pc)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Well, I did of course. Does the boot.img contain the same files as the radio zip? I will try to flash the boot.img again if you think it helps, it is a common problem for the ONE X though, even with stock roms.

i think boot.img does not contain same file as radio zip.
boot.img contains ramdisk files which loads essential files into memory in order run an OS.
Either way it has not helped...
Luckily I found some more things I could try, as loading a RUU or other special boot files.
