[Q] Dead and wont charge, how to revive it? - HTC One X

First of all brilliant forums!
So my friend wanted to flash a new rom to his OneX, he was running cyanogen mod but wanted to switch which apparently required some downgrading and relocking of bootloader. Well first he flashed the new rom, resulted in bootloop, realized downgrade was required, started that process, failed since RUU required 30%battery and he didnt have that, and the phone wasnt able to charge.
So he has already fixed a new phone and I love to modify phones, however all i need to do is unlock the bootloader and flash on a proper boot image and flash cyanogen again and I should be able to play along from there. The main problem is, how do I get some power in the device?
Would it work with and external batterycase? Or that does only work as an extra charger? Or if I take out the battery can I charge it in some way or do i need to buy another one?
Best regards

It has a script that continiously reboots the bootloader and charge it little by little. Once you have enough power to flash you unlock it and flash a custom recovery. You can charge the battery more inside the recovery, all the latest ones have this !
You need at least 10% of battery power to flash

Thank you sir, it is now back from the dead. The script worked even though the battery was totally dead and wasnt able to reach fastboot.

Ah that's good news !

I think I just ****ed my phone

All was working fine until I installed the 3-dot removal on ODEXED rom then it will never boot again! just hanging on boot. so i ****ed my recovery aswell. All i have now is fastboot which is always telling me BATTERY TOO LOW no matter how long i keep it on charge. I can't flash anything neither use RUU. When I click "switch off" in boot menu it will just restart and bootloop. I don't know how to charge my battery so I can use RUU again. Please any help will be much appreciated!

Exactly this version. But I've seen odexed later after I installed it.
I was able just to "erase cache" and unlock it. Then flash recovery. Now its in recovery and I'm waiting for it to charge. Hopefully it will.

Once you have the latest CWM you can charge the phone whilst it's off. After that you can flash a ROM/run a RUU and get it back up and running.

I've tried everything. Now im at phase in bootloader - battery very low again. It's not charging from bootloader neither when I start it. Recovery is not working too + I can't unlock it because of the battery. Tried to shut down - not working. HTC made that phone crap because of the internal battery! I hope there will be solution or I have to return it to them,.

To be fair its not HTC's fault, you did do something that they didn't intend.
Also don't charge from the bootloader it needs to be completely off, hold power and volume up to force it off.

I put it in bootloader to charge - it failed and switched off. Turned on bootloop to charge - same story. Tried with clockworkmod latest - same story. So I was going to send it back. Until I switched the usb port on the PC - then the battery problem was not there! I WAS ABLE TO USE RUU! That's how I fixed it.

[SEMI-BRICKED] Need help reverting to stock

Hi
Dunno what went wrong, but my phone ran out of battery last night, and when I charged it, and turned it on, it resulted in a bootloop.
I then wiped and reflashed the ROM, but still boot looping, and now I can't get into recovery anymore.
I can get in to bootloader, and I have tried to start the RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe in fastboot og HBOOT compability, but no luck (Check that your cable is connected).
Can't I get another ROM on, stock preferred, anyway?
my HBOOT version is 0.94.0000
I had installed AOKP ICS 4.0.4 custom ROM on the phone.
I'm no noob, but my knowledge isn't sufficient in this case
Thanks in advance

Please - explain with details what you did- you only relock the bootloader, or change it with original one, or else.
Try creating a batch file using :
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"

Leave that running for a bit.
im just relock the bootloader but it have custom rom with custom recovery but i cant access to them...i creat this batch and it goes from 3000mv to 3240 then it goes down to 3210.. i dont know how charge it
it just stuck on bootloader i cant do anything
If your battery is above 10% you can still flash via fastboot.
Assuming you relocked because you want to return to stock, Do the following:
Unlock bootloader again (battery must be above 10% to fastboot flash)
Flash CWM Recovery.
Flash boot.img of custom ROM
Flash custom ROM.
Charge phone to 100%.
Relock bootloader.
Run RUU.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to leave the script posted above running overnight with the phone connected and try again in the morning.
i use the script but sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down..how many hours i need to let the battery 3680mv?
the script cant charge more than 3586 what i can do?
Gan you get into Fastboot now?

Go into hboot and select the option to power device off.? This way it keeps charging and device stays off. It only goes on if you replug the cable.

Other option that work but u should sweat is... Start the pbone, once u get stuck re start again, this gives the phone little amount of charge, but while u r doing this, should try to flash recovery cwm. It s a long trip bro. But it works, i helped three friends wirh this method.

I had a similar situation, but choosing power off caused it to reboot all the time for some reason.
how many minutes i need to charge it?
i use the script charge.bat..but when it come to 3583v it goes down why?
i dont know how to power off and restart it again?
i think my phone is dead no way to fix it
Just follow my instructions on page 1. If you can get into fastboot to flash a proper recovery you're fine!
Unlock bootloader again (battery must be above 10% to fastboot flash)
Flash CWM Recovery.
Flash boot.img of custom ROM
Flash custom ROM.
Charge phone to 100%.
Relock bootloader.

[Q] Looking for ORANG001 Nandroid backup

Hey guys, anyone got a 2.17.61.3 stock nandroid backup for ORANG001 (Orange UK)?
Struggling to find it uploaded anywhere.
Need this or the custom ruu to use the downgrading trick to update my hboot.
Thanks!
Its in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 :thumbup:
The dropbox link is broken sadly
Then you have to wait until its fixed, or when bugsy get the chance to host it on his sire
Yeah :s
Trying to update my hboot, because right now the phone randomly turns off and requires me to hold down the power button. Also gets stuck on optimizing apps.
Thought I'd ask here in case anyone had it floating around in their download folder.
Thanks though!
Maybe there is a JB firmware in the firmware collection thread to update the hboot and then restore the JB nandroid ?
Your cid and firmware is listed here + firmware download
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
That could work! Would I flash the firmware in the same way as I would in the RUU/hboot upgrade guides, or can I skip locking the bootloader and stock recovery?
Like:
fastboot oem lock
reboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <zip>
re-unlock etc.
Yes thats it
Did all that, stock rom crashed, flashed IceColdJelly and that crashed after a while. Phone won't turn on now like before, might turn on after a while, I always have to hold down the button for a long time now.
Thinking maybe this is a hardware / battery problem although everyone was fine before I when from Carbon 1.3 -> 1.5, going back to 1.3 didn't help.
Not really sure what to do now :s
Do the firmware flash all over ! Then reflash the custom recovery, perform a real good wipe and install the rom again. Helped before when i suggested it with someone who experienced similar problems
Did all that, everything went fine until booting into system again, it crashed pretty much just after setup-up. The screen freezes and the button lights go to full brightness.
Would it be worth completely formatting the SD card too?
Trying to think of anything I'm doing wrong.. I do use the Motorola charger rather than an HTC one but I doubt that matters.
Thanks for helping thus far though!
Also for flashing ? Never use another cable then the original !
And yeah its worth the try. Did you perform a full wipe in the recovery....really all stuff ? Caches, dalvik cache....data, system, factory reset. Then install the new rom and flash the boot.img....also wipe cache after flashing the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
It looks more like a not good wipe problem to me
OK I did a full wipe this time, system, sd card. I've got TWRP on there now which works fine. I flashed ICJ then the boot.img as well as wiping the cache.
Phone booted up fine was working for quite a while before it crashed again, the phone was plugged in using the Motorola plug charger when it crashed. I've been using a battery pack too which uses the power connection on the back.
The phone wouldn't turn on until I plugged it into USB for a while (no led) and held down power + volume down. I'm going to charge it up to full via usb in TWRP then see if it still crashes without charging and without the battery pack on.
I hope it doesn't because then it could just be I need to get the HTC plug/cable and stop using the case.
If it's a hardware problem then I'm not sure I'll be able to get it repaired as I bought this second hand (with a receipt, I could see if I can proof of purchase) and have unlocked the bootloader etc.
I suppose if the phone won't turn on though they can't know that.
Like i said ..... only use original stuff
Any update ?
It crashed in recovery while making a backup and I haven't manage to get it back on yet, I've ordered a HTC cable / plug though. If I get it on I'll just charge it then turn it off, as when I turn it off (as opposed to it crashing) it turns on normally.
Not really looking good though
Sorry to hear this
Got the HTC plug and nothing seems different, still totally dead.I think it is a hardware failure of some sort, as with all the different software combinations I tried it was crashing regardless. (At least that's what I tell myself.)
I'm going to see if I can get it repaired on warranty and hope they don't check the IMEI.
Thanks for all the help
Oke mate ! I hope you get it fixed soon
Good news! HTC have fixed it and sent it back, charging it for a few hours now before I turn it on.
I'm not sure what broke it but I was using the wrong charger for the phone and also a cheap battery case to prolong its daily usage. I'm not sure whether I want to risk flashing roms again but I really don't like sense, it depends if I bricked it or not.

HOX constantly rebooting after official HTC update to jelly bean

Hi,
After updating the software using the "software updates" from the settings to Jelly Bean, the device won;t start up, it will show the HTC splash screen and reboot.
I tried to do a factory reset and to shutdown the device but every time i connect the charger it will start up again and enter an infinite loop, I cannot flash a new recovery or firmware.zip using the fastboot because the device does not have enough battery (I tried recharging it using a script that will loop and enter it to reload bootloader but it is not enough, I got it up to 10%, no more)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Doron
Try leaving your phone to charge overnight and unlock its bootloader the next morning than follow the required steps to flash a recovery. On the recovery itself, try to make a factory reset of your stock rom and see whether it can still work or not.
If can't than you'll just have to give custom rom a try to see how it goes than

Ok so its easy download the latest ruu from THIS THREAD for your phone charge it up and to check the charge percentage use fastboot getvar all command
In that see battery it must be above 3680volt if not USE THIS THREAD ON HOW TO CHARGE BATTERY after succesfully charging battery run RUU and you are good to go. GOOD LUCK

Not so easy, he tried using the script to charge and it's not going up. You have to start there, that's the main problem !
Make sure the script runs with admin rights, and use only the original HTC usb cable and connect it straight to a powered usb 2.0 port on the pc (no hubs, extension cords)
Keep it running for a long time, that process may take many hours.
Fastboot getvar all is not needed, the script tells you exactly what the batt level is after each reboot.
Keep trying the script, it's the only way to charge now. Try to get it just over 10%, it's enough to flash. If you get to that point you flash this recovery asap !
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And enter it. Hook the phone up to the main (wall outlet) charger and let it charge to a 100% then we can continue

Thank you all for your answers!
I got it yesterday to about 10%, so maybe i will be able to do it again, can you tell me how can I flash this recovery? I saw that the boot loader is locked (On the top of the bootloader there is a pink line sais locked) can I still flash?
Ah no...but since you are locked you have warranty !
Don't unlock it before you let yourself informed about that !!!
Unlocking the bootloader is needed in order to flash anything except a ruu. But for a ruu you need minimal 30% of battery

That is what i was afraid of, do you think i can get to 30% with this method?
How do i unlock the bootloader?
I talked to HTC today, because the 1 year has passed they suggested only out of warranty repair so...
What do you suggest?
My suggestion is to try the sctipt and run a ruu first.
We need a fastboot command to get the correct one
Fastboot getvar version-main
Otherwise it's getting over 10% and unlock, flash a recovery and continue from there.
Unlocking goes via the HTC dev site.

Will i be able to flash ruu after replacing the recovery?
How will i know that i got to 30% ?
Flashing a ruu doesnt need any changes to the phone ! It's locked and stock. Ruu's can be flashed straight away that way. See if you can reach that 3700-3800 mV
I finally got it to 3785....
My phone is s-off with cid:11111111 so I tried to run the following RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
And I got img error, any thoughts?
OK,
Because i couldn't install the other RUU, I thought I should upgrade my hboot, I used the JBFWFlasher tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
This changed my hboot to 1.33 and my cid to 621
So I downloaded and flashed:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed
Finally the system is up and running.
I am still checking to see if everything is working, do you think i will be able to update to 4.2.2?
Thanks a lot guys for all your help
What's your main version
Fastboot getvar version-main
And did you run the ruu with admin rights ?
Another option is to flash the 3.14.401 firmware, that will lift the hboot to 1.39. It's stable and then you can install any rom you want. Then you have at least a clean sense 5 rom.
Finally!
After flashing the ruu I managed to get the system up and running, I even managed to get to OTA for 4.2.2 ROM with sense 5, it seems to work fine now
Thank you very much.
Nice job !
