I bought this phone.
HTC One X
I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to rooting phones but i ran into this problem here.
It seems that the phone has no ROM, no Recovery ( I try Booting into Recovery and it Reboots back into Bootloader) and is Relocked (Fastboot ac).

How do i unlock bootloader and be able to go back to fastboot usb?
So it boots to the BootLoader Screen, this is a good thing, so its not 'dead' ... yet
Unless your gonna send it in for repair, First thing I would try is unlocking it ... your in for a ride
go to http://www.htcdev.com/ create an account, and follow the steps for unlocking the device
The fact that you can get into the boot loader means you should be able to generate your bin code, to unlock the thing
If you do manage to get it unlocked, I would follow the instructions in this forum for flashing a custom rom onto the thing
you start by unlocking, rooting, then CWM Recovery
Once you have that done, flash a custom rom, such as IceColdJelly which is what I use
Hopefully this works for you, Its already busted, no harm in trying
Good luck to you!

I alredy did this and it says " waiting for device"
Don't flash anything from this forum. This forum is only for the international One X (endeavor). You have an Evita.

You need to unlock bootloader from htcdev then you will be able to root.

he has s-off , no need for unlocked bootloader ! just run root from superoneclick found at here ... you'll guide yourself after downloading the file believe me ! It is the easiest rooting tool i ever seen !
Must be some kind of problem if he's s-off and it says locked oow.
Just double check in your bootloader and confirm if it says s-off or s-on.
If your s-off as I am then it should not say anything about locked or unlocked.
It looks like you successfully updated the bootloader [*** LOCKED (OOW) ***] but didn't finish the procedure at htcdev to get it unlocked. But in any case, it should root because you have S-OFF already.
SuperClick Root thing doesnt worl.
And yes and it is s off
have you tried zergrush, too?
Another theory would be, that the locked bootloader "overwrites" the S-OFF behavior somehow. You have 2 choices.
1) flash a hboot 1.08.0000 or whichever you want that is not from htcdev
or
2) finish the htcdev process and get your bootloader unlocked.
Hello i'm the person vinnyt is talking about, that is having the problem with rooting the HTC Wildfire S, it is a marvelc cdma phone from Metro pcs (USA service). I first used HTC Wildfire S - Unlocking Bootloader by Mstechify on youtube and i did this like the 2nd day i had my wildfire s and the first time i had an htc, so i had no idea about htc dev at the time, but anyway i did this method and i followed all the steps until the end when the program tells you to press any button to reboot, what i did was unplugged the phone but i noticed i was not rooted so i went to the the boot loader and noticed it said locked oow and it said s off so i tried almost all the root methods and tried to use htc dev, and htc dev just tells me that its the wrong RUU program so i don't know. Guys please help me all I want to do is temp. root to remove bloatware please help. thanks.
You need to unlock bootloader!

Follow this tutorial and remember to thank theq86

Did you tried out the the HTCDev.com Process.
HTCDEV.COM --> Choose Model --> Update HBOOT --> Now says "Locked OOW"
---> then Get the Token as directed by the HTC DEV.Com --> paste the token in textbox in htcdev.com ---> you got "unlock_token.bn" --> flash that using "fastboot" --> you got as "*** UNLOCKED *** ",
I hope that there is Nothing bother about S ON or Soff., My device is S-ON but Hboot is in "Unlocked" state, I already Flashed out Custom ROMS . Try out that
if you are s-off use simonsimons utility to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip for full root

I used the HTCDEV unlock to unlock until I found the GoldCard S-OFF method to S-OFF and S-OFF, as we all know > Unlocked bootloader. I used theq86's tool to relock to the original state.
My first question is: what does the "OOW" mean? I have that it means "Out of Warranty" and that it means absolutely nothing.
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

It is not confirmed, but it seems to be Out Of Warranty because if you flash this bootloader HTC will reject warranty
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
Yes, you can. Use my tool again and choose the third option "superversion"
Afterwards flash a STOCK RUU and hboot will be downgraded as well.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
I don't know, but S-OFFing again is no problem if it really goes away.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
If you downgrade HBOOT it will neither show LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED because the standard hboots do not check this.

10 chars. my answers in red.
When you say to flash a stock RUU do you mean one of the ones from HTC Dev or elsewhere? Can you provide a link. If it would help, I have a marvelc with Virgin Mobile US.
In the dev section there is a thread where many many stock rom RUUs are. so take a look at there. it's one of the sticky posts.
To downgrade your bootloader, since your s-off just take the ruu with the bootloader of your choice. Extract the rom.zip. open it up and you will find a file called bootloader or hboot or something to that effect. Take that file and the android update.txt file. Zip them both up and rename it pg76img.zip
Put it in the root if your sdcard and boot into hboot. The phone will find the update and just flash it. Done

Is there a specific ROM I should be running? Using simonsimon34's CM7 port and with my PC running Windows 8 Consumer Preview (with HTC Drivers) I am told that the RUU utility is unable to find the Android phone.
Do I need a ROM with HTC Sync?
Which method are you trying?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
I'm just trying to run the RUU.exe.
EDIT: I installed Vista and so far it appears to work. I'm going to wait until later to actually go all the way through. (I just went far enough for it to verify my "PDA phone".)
Might just have been your win 8 pal.

Recovery is CWM 4.0.0.4
last flash is 6.01.605.05_VZW_OTA-full-odex.zip
Flashed system and boot from that file (extracted boot.img).
I tried this, but suspected it wouldn't work as I can't get past the white HTC logo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
Oddly I did end up seeing a BLACK screen HTC emblazoned across it. However after it finished I'm back to the white HTC screen hang.
HBOOT is still .98 so it seems to have had no appreciable effect.

It looks like it was unlocked using HTC Dev. You can't downgrade if you are unlocked already. Re-lock the phone (not sure how to do this, as I never did it this way), and then downgrade and S-Off. That is going to be your best option.

Ahh, need to relock to downgrade? I missed that bit somewhere. Thanks. will try that then run the downgrade path again.
No luck.. Bootloader then shows
***Relocked***
*Security Warning*
Will not proceed past bootloader. So the ADB commands error out with "Error: device not found". I can't get into CWM recovery with a locked bootloader to allow ADB commands to work.
perplexing..
In addition when unlocked, in CWM I cannot mount System. Is that normal?

You might need to try the Taco Root Method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
You can 100% do it. I never did it this way, but there is many others on this site that have been successful with this method.
A little back and forth play with the locked/unlocked status finally got it all working. Had to Unlock, enter CWM, format system, data, cache, , pull a boot.img from a zip file, flash that, reboot back to Fastboot, into recovery, mount system, data, cache, run the ADB section of the commands, reboot again into fastboot, relock (reboots on its own).. stick a RUU onto the microSD and slide that in. fail.. np, try another, and another. Finally found one it took and updated. Unbricked, Wifi is alive.
Downgrade may be possible at this point but probably not really worth it.
I'm a complete noob at this but all I am trying to get at this point is my HTC Desire 626s.
I have unlocked the Bootloader for now but S-ON is still on. My phone is fine and at this point I'm trying to complete a TWRP recovery .img I got from this thread (that didn't tell anything about twrp recovery,only cyanogen recovery method update and download)
So could someone help me out with what I need to do?
Note:
-Bootloader is unlocked
-I'm a noob,so some terms won't work on me.
-adb reboot bootloader gives me a "ADB Server out of date. Killing" message.
-The reason I need S-OFF is because thats the error message I got "FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)"
after trying to flash in bootloader mode.
And if anyone has time,why does everyone mention this "fastboot mode" when I only see three different modes,as you can "reboot" to them.
Download,Bootloader,and Recovery Mode.
Thank you for anyone who replies,I'm a complete noob that just needs help,I'm a bit worried I unlocked my bootloader for nothing.

hi, i used to have custom rom viperone m9 but since i want to sell my phone im trying to go back to original htc one m9 stock, after trying many things including making my phone S-OFF, trying to flash RUU files, locking bootloader, and finally flashing a stock rom according to a tutorial on xda developers, using android revolution HD to go back to stock rom.
my phone is now not booting up, it was just getting stuck on the htc logo, i tried changing from s-off back to s-on and locking bootloader (which may turn out to be a very big mistake) and now it just boots directly to bootloader and i cant get past the bootloader screen, ive tried doing factory resets and wiping cache in recovery and download mode but nothing is working, im not sure what to do so if anyone can help it would be appreciated!!! i just want to get back to original stock rom where i can get OTA updates and an unrooted phone.
thank you
pleaseeee can anyone help I cant use my phone
Have you tried installing a ruu according to your M9 model? Bootloader SOn or SOFF??
If you still have the unlock Token use it again, if not try for another. If it does not give you one, sorry you are in trouble. It took me at least two weeks trying different stuff, original roms and back-ups, you maybe lucky. In the end I had to send mine back to HTC, the forums on XDA developers did not help.
