Hello everybody,
This is my first post on XDA, although I've visited the site oftne
Anyways:
Yesterday I successfully rooted my One X and unlocked its bootloader. I also installed CWM recovery.
As the day came to a close I tried to install LC_MOD in an attempt to change the multitasking softkey to a menu button.
I did not make a backup, and the phone had no backups.
Needless to say the phone wouldnt boot. I panicked and in blind fear sortof erased everything off of my phone. everything. What I basically did was i went into advanced settings and formatted my /sdcard and all those other folders, hoping that would solve the issue (a simple data/cache wipe didnt work). So much data has been erased from the phone that I cannot even mount usb storage through CWM because im missing a file.
So, I come to you all, you gods of the tech world, with my head bowed, to ask for your help. I have literally tried everything in my power to fix the issue. I tried to install custom roms manually, that didnt work. I tried to install an RUU, and even that didnt work (the software could not detect my device). This was all made even more difficult because I myself have a mac, and much of the software I had to use was windows based, which led me on a journey to create a virtual machine.
I know i messed up, and what I'm really hoping someone out there cn do is upload one of their own backups of their One X's software, and show me how to use that to restore my phone.
Somebody out there please please help me :'(
Hi;
There is a reason all developers here shout out loud:
1- BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU F*** IT UP
2- DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW HOW TO
But anyways, you ruined it, you should get it back, Hopefully you did not drain the battery below 30%, in that case keep on reading the next paragraph, but if you dropped the battery below 30, you should go to CWM Recovery, connect your phone to charger, and wait until it's charged properly...
After charging the phone, you need the correct RUU for your phone... As it seems, you don't know what you're doing, so go to fastboot, type this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Then post the code here in this topic, so someone can help you find the correct RUU for your phone...
After that go to THIS topic and follow the part where it says "If you DON'T have custom rom or Nandroid backup on internal SD card"
Thanks
Thanks a bunch bro!! And ye i get that it was completely my fault. I normally do backup before i do anything, but i guess i was just a bit too anxious. And I think you've told me everything i need to know, ill get that code out to you asap... And you're right, i seriously have no clue what im doing ^.^, I've never F***ed up this hard on any phone before

Don't worry, with the correct version of RUU you can restore your phone...

Your phone is from Voda Germany, and most probabely your correct RUU is this:
Code:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/t7qugfd3ey9/n/RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.26.166.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251279_signed.exe
Download it. Hopefully it would be the correct RUU for your phone.
1- Now open the exe file you just downloaded and make sure that it fully started.
2- Don't click anything, just open "Computer" (formerly known as my computer) in windows and enter %temp% in your address bar.
3- You will now see some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip (using windows search function)
4- When you found it, copy it to your desktop.
5- Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
6- Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
7- Go to your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode. then connect your phone to computer.
8- Open CMD and navigate to the folder in which you have the two images and the fastboot file. (using cd command and after that the address you want to go to)
9- Now type in that
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
10- Now this one
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
if all this is successful, you can just reboot your phone and everything is OK.
If you can't do any of these, let us now, we will help you through it...
Good lock

In other note, RUUs are build to do an stand alone recovery of your phone. So you can first try, just running the RUU application and following the instruction given in the RUU. it may work correctly
This is good
Alright so i got everything going after downloading the RUU and it was in the process of restoring my phone, but then it said my battery went below 30% so i needed to recharge. At that point i had to leave, and so I noticed that if i left my phone in the booting animation (HTC logo) the LED light indicated that the phone was charging. Since I wasnt entirely convinced that my CWM recovery was actually charging the phone, i left it on booting while connected to my pc and hopefully itll be fully charged and ready to be restored tomorrow..... I really appreciate all the help you've given me man you've practically saved my life here , and I'd like to say that you've made my first cry for help a simple and smooth one.... Thank you very much my friend :victory: :highfive:
Problem
Ok so we have a new problem, the system.img file didnt flash. I tried and it said "FAILED"
What now??
& is the boot image supposed to only be around 4300 kb?
Could the sending of "system" failed because my phone had less than 30% batterylife???? & if its in Clockworkmod recovery5.8.4 while connected to an outlet will it be charging???
Edit: I've searched around and I saw this one guy who extracted the "boot_signed.img" and the "recovery_signed.img" (NOT the system.img), flashed them onto his phone, locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock", and then RAN the RUU..... He said he bricked his phone, and the situation he described is similar to mine. Any thoughts on which method of the two (yours and his) i should use?
Thanks again :3

That's another method you can try, boot_signed is the stock kernel (and yes it's that small) and the recovery_signed is the stock recovery...
Since my previously mentioned method didn't work, do this:
1- flash the boot_signed.img into your device (fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img)
2- flash the recovery_signed.img in the device (fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
3- erase cache (fastboot erase cache)
4- lock your phone (fastboot oem lock)
5- now try again to flash the system image (fastboot flash system system.img)
And also, try having around 40% battery to do all this, don't let the battery drops under 30%
ALRIGHT!!!!
alright man!!!! that sounds like a plan... First thing tomorrow I'm going to try this method out.... and btw the RUU you linked me wasnt exactly working right (the software kept saying i had the wrong ruu), so i searched around and found someone with the same CID (VODAP102) and apperantly the uk RUU works fine on it, so i guess ill use that one ye? And btw does the bootloader have to be unlocked before i can flash these items? because i do believe its locked atm....

Your phone is "Vodafone Germany" version and the link I gave you is the "Voda DE" which seems right, but you can try that as well, doesn't heart...
No, for original ROM (RUU) you should have a locked boot-loader, unlocking is just for custom ROMs.
ok
ok so this is what ill do tomorrow:
1) make sure bootloader is unlocked
2) fastboot flash boot boot_service.img
3) fastboot flash recovery recovery_service.img
4) fastboot oem lock
5) fastboot flash system system.img
did i get everything?

The two first commands should work on a LOCKED boot-loader, so I think step 1 would not be necessary... If your phone is locked you should be able to do all steps 2, 3, 5 without problem (step 1 and 4 are the exact opposite of each other and if the phone is locked already I think can be skipped)
ok so its still not working.... I managed to flasht he boot_signed.img and the recovery_signed.img, clear cache and lock the bootloader after it, but i still cannot seem to flash the damn system.img... Any thoughts?
what happens is command prompt stays static for a second and then says sending 'system' (1000596 KB)
FAILED (remore: (00000006))
finished. total time: -0.000s
so? What now??

Any luck in running the RUU itself directly?
i gave up
alright so nothig worked. Not the manual flash, and not the RUU itself. So ive resolved to visit my local help center for HTC devices, and see what they can do, if they cant fix it the least they can do is send it to the german branch for repairs. Thanks for all your help mate, you've really proven to be a great guide, but I guess something just isnt clicking in this case :/.......... i love u man
I'm not sure if this would work.
If you are still htcdev unlocked:
1. Enter bootloader in fastboot usb
2. Fasboot flash recovery -your recovery .img here"
3. Boot into recovery
4. Go to "mounts and storage"
5. Mount SD(I think this is right) and your sd should show up in your pc
6. Copy your rom zips and other zips you need/want
7. Unmount SD
8. By this time you should be able to flash your rom
9. Make sure you flash boot.img again in bootloader.
Hope this helps

Isn't it mount usb storage?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App
You couldn't mount the USB storage / sdcard because you were running CWM from the bootloader. If you connect it to the pc you can put the recovery file you flashed into the fastboot folder and do:
fastboot boot *recoveryfilename*.img
Then you can mount the sdcard etc.
If you have photos and things you don't want an ruu to get ride of, you can fix the ROM. You broke it by trying to install an deodrexed mod for an odexed Rom. If you're interested I can tell you how to fix it.
You could also take this opportunity to install a custom Rom, with which I can also help.
Hello,
i got this weird problem when i tried to install clockworkmod from here: knowyourmobile(dot)com/smartphones/htc/onex/onexuserguides/1419609/how_to_root_your_htc_one_x.html
My bootloader is unlocked.I downloaded the file end ran the script.When everything finished my phone got stuck in the boot screen.I tried to erase chase or install stock kernel and recovery (using all ine one tool from this site)but nothing solved it.The only thing that i havent tried yet is to flash a boot.img because i cant find one (i got the phone from europe(paris) and i have the jelly bean update and i cant find the stock boot.img).Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!
If you flash a rom you can find the boot.img inside the rom.zip file ! Flash the boot.img with fastboot commands and do a wipe in recovery and install the rom.zip file from sd card !
And its not a weird boot problem, it's a common user mistake that is done by many....many people
Ow and a kernel = boot.img
Thanks for the reply,Is there another way?Because i dont want to use a custom ROM.I just rooted it in order to install some apps that require root.I said its weird because i flashed the kernel and the problem stays
Do you have a custom recovery at the moment ? And did u do a nandroid backup of the stock rom ?
I think it's weird that you first say that you flashed the kernel and then you say you can't find the boot.img.......
Well i didnt know that kernel=boot.img and i dont know if the all ine one xda program puts the right program for jb.I didnt backup anything,I have clockworkmod recovery
Do you know fastboot and the commands ?
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post these results here !
I will try it.THis doesnt format anything,right>?
Nope....
You have to enter the recovery from the bootloader - choose hboot and then recovery....if it enters check which version you have (cwm 5.8.4.0 ?)
From there you can go to mounts & storage and then choose at the bottom mount as USB drive
Then you can at least copy everything from the sd to a safe place. I think that the internal data is going to be lost ! Like messages and apps .... Everything that is stored in the cloud is safe anyway
cid:htc__203 OKAY
version-main:3.14.401.27
You can get the ruu with the same number on www.htcruu.com and put the phone in bootloader/fastboot USB
Relock the bootloader with
Fastboot oem lock
And run the ruu.exe with admin rights ...it will put the phone back to 100% stock
This is the one you need
http://www.htcruu.com/download.php?...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
Nice!Now to reunlock the bootloader i will do the same things i did the first time or there is a command for that?
Yes if you still have the unlock token.bin file you can unlock the bootloader with a fastboot command, the correct command slipped my mind at the moment !
Otherwise you can to the htcdev site again and unlock it there
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.
Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.
What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?
It says endeavoru
Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?
Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.
No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217
Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?
Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!
If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted
Good to go mate

I have an international One x, I don't know what I did wrong but my phone never gets past the ROM's logo screen. I've tried flashing about 6 different ROMs that all worked before but the boot.img file never flashes. When I type the command in fastboot, it says it flashed successfully on the pc but the phone just shuts down. When I open it again, it doesn't boot. I also tried restoring to a stock nandroid backup (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140 ) and. I tried restoring to a backup I'd made a month ago but neither worked.
I tried looking for a RUU to run but none worked or are compatible because I can't find one higher than 3.16 and I have S-ON so can't flash anything below that. I looked on the internet in general and here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor

Wow what a poem first thing as you may know, flashing the boot.img is a really important step to do if you want your rom to work... I see that you can't do it but i have just a question, does your phone shuts down immediately after you type the command or at the end of the flashing process?

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

I'm facing a tiny problem with running the ARUWizard. It says my phone's battery is below 30% and won't flash every time although I fully charged it till the light turned green.
Hmmm... this seems to be a tricky thing.
Try this:
1. Copy the rom.zip into the same Folder where your fastboot.exe is located
2. Enter bootloader and go to fastboot.
3. Flash the file with this command:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Enter the original recovery
5. When you see the red triangle than do a short press on the power button and vol up and you will see the menue as same as you know it from the CWM Recovery
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe data/factory
8. unlock the bootloader
9. Flash the rom.img from AHD Image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. Flash CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. enter Recovery and Mount USB
12. Copy the AHD ROM to your device & flash it
13. Boot the ROM, wait up to 10 minutes bevore you use it & ignore the setup
14. Within the Phone enter Settings and do a FACTORY RESET

Hello, I'm from Bulgaria, I bought a Desire HD that was with relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com. Now it is unlock. The phone not load any ROM, can,'t make recovery from bootloader, can't make factory reset from bootloader. I tried to flash several stock ROMs before and after unlocking, but getting a different errors. Attempted ROMs are with the same RADIO. I Tried this-
just copy the rom.zip from temp folder of your user name on pc while running that RUU at the next of second step..i mean while you double click of the RUU then you the first prompt that you must thick "Understand blah blah blah.." then click next..you must hold setup at this step..and tried search the rom.zip in your temp folder of your pc and copied to another folder..then rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put in to the root of your sd card..then boot the phone to bootloader mode..wait until bootloader reading and checking the PD98IMG.zip file..then ask you to confirm if you wanna flash it.. but without success. Stay on the white screen with grenn HTC logo when is turned on, and when I tried to make recovery or factory reset. When the stock ROM start to install (before give me a error ) the screen stay on grey HTC logo on Black screen. Can anyone help me? I attached a picture of Bootloader-

Uhh, have you actually installed recovery - if you haven't well that's why.
Go here: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/ace/recovery.zip
Extract the files
Copy recovery img to your adb.exe folder (make sure fastboot.exe is there)
Turn on your phone into fastboot mode
CD to that directory and type in "fastboot devices"
Confirm it says your serial
Then type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you have recovery (it means you can flash roms and kernels and mods and anything flashable apart from radios and firmwares)
I did this correctly, everything is OK, but now what? I tried to install stock ROM, but with no result. Here is a pictures of instalation-
now select recovery, and install ROM there

just installing custom rom (you can search and choice a custom rom in "Desire HD Android Development") and installing the rom.zip file from 4ext recovery (install zip from sd card)..don't forget to flashing boot.img too (flashing under FASTBOOT mode with fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot.img").. that the boot.img are extracted from the rom.zip file that you had already installed..
hope this can help..

hope this can help..

while you installing recovery from fastboot..did your bootloader still with unlocked state..?
because i see you're success flashing a custom recovery that you already show me above in attchment file before...
if your bootloader are already locked..then you must unlocking again first...then after that you can continued flashing custom recovery..
Thank you ! Now the bootloader is unlocked, and I did that from the second post with already unlocked bootloader. Still nothing can I do.
just tried installing another custom recovery...just try download it TWRP recovery from here.. copied to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder and flashing it through FASTBOOT mode with command .. "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img"
hope this time your phone will had a custom recovery installed
good luck.

that's so weird..it must be something wrong with that phone..
what about if you try return to the stock first..?
to do that...firstly just find the cid num of your phone by command through fastboot "fastboot getvar all" (you can find your cid in the INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX) if you wanna show me the output of that command..don't forget just remove your imei and serial number first..
after you find your cid num you can find the right RUU for your phone..just check it here to find what RUU you must download it..and just download it the RUU with same main version of your phone or higher version than yours..
after that just relocked your bootloader through fastboot "fastboot oem lock"...now you can continued flashing that RUU
hope this help..
