[Q] please help to unbrick my HOX

Hello, i just messed up with my Htc One X, I want to flash the ARHD 10.6 but i got bootloop, then i tried to restore from my back up but i don;t know why everything is fone in my sd card. I tried to go back to stock with RUU. My cid is HTC__203, so i tried to flash with the
Europe 2.17.401.2 HTC - but it keeps show signature error 132.
I don't know what to do, then my brother change my hboot to 1.28
Does someone has an idea please? I am really desperate. It is forever bricked? thank you

get into fastboot and check are you locked or unlocked ?

I already unlock it and to flash ruu i relock it

- Unlock it
- Flash the latest recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
- Extract boot.img from the Rom.zip you want to flash (preferably a jellybean rom)
- "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
- "fastboot erase cache"
- Boot into recovery and flash the ROM.zip
edit: you might try flashing the boot.img from ARHD 10.6 and fastboot erase cache and see if it boots

The problem is i can't get access to my phone. It get stuck to the screen with htc logo and there is nothing on my sd card right now. I tried to push file via adb but it also show no result

turn it off (long press the power button) then turn it on to fastboot, flash the boot.img and erase cache

I tried, i keep havin the bootloop(

Just hold the power button and volume down until it goes to bootloader.

Yes, I did go to bootloader, erase cache and flash the boot.img, but I'm havin the sam issue

Reflash recovery in fastboot, boot up recovery, usb mount, put firmware on and flash it. Then flash boot.img again in fastboot. That works, and if not, YOU are doing something wrong.

Thank you,with your instruction I can finally flash a rom. I did flash viper 2.6. It goes to the lockscreen but when I unlock, it shows : "venom tweaks stop working", and show blank screen with green htc logo. I'm downloading the ARHD jelly bean rom and give it a try. Thank you

Now, i am having the issue with my phone who doesn't recognise my internal sd card. I did a factory reset and went to the recovery to make sure that the sdcard is mounted, but still hain the same problem

[Q] I think i Bricked my device

I seemed to have bricked my device......... the phone just seems to hang on the white HTC screen.. I am very new to all this so please help with even the most basic and obvious steps.
Events that led to this:
Last night i unlocked and rooted my phone using clockwork recovery and then installed superSU. All was fine then.
I installed Nanobackup and took the backup as suggested.
then later today, after reading a lot i decided to try CYANOGENMOD'S root and then it all statred to fall apart.......
the phone never booted after that. first it used to get stuck on CYNOGENMOD's startup screen and it never moved forward. after reading some more I realised that i needed to update the BOOT.IMG file along with it which i missed. after this also nothing was happening.
I was thanking my stars that i took a complete back up and tried to restore it..... but as my luck would have it that also did not work.
Now i am stuck with a white boot up screen with the HTC logo on it. I can still connect to fastboot....... PLease help......Very desparate.
Thanks..... all and any help is appreciated.

Hi Thanks i tried all this again just to be sure.... but no help.
The command i am using for Fastboot is
Fastboot boot boot.img
This is correct??? Also just to be sure i have the correct boot file should i download the .zip file again.
Also i forgot to add that i installed CM downloader from Google play from there i directly downloaded the CM10 ROM. Is this why there could be a problem?

the correct command is: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then fastboot erase cache

the command is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the "fastboot erase cache" get the rom from this site its under original android development pick what ever you want
you will find steps in the rom page if you ddnt understand me

stuck " HTC LOGO "

hey, so my device where stuck on pull the ring thng
so i thought it's a softwere prob, i upgrade my hboot to 1.31 so i could install the JB
i found there is no RUU fore my HTC_J15 !!
and i can't go back to ICS .. i unlock the boot so i can try some roms
same prob, any slu?

Why can't you go back to ICS or install a custom Sense ROM?
flash the boot.img and the ROM. Easy.

I have an idea to get you back to stock, from there you can update official. Its not the ruu method. I will explain later
I need your main version and cid number
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post these results

Pyschic prediction:
2.17.401
HTC__J15

If that is so, you need to fine the matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup collection thread in the general section
Restore it and flash back the stock recovery .... After this you can update official when the update is available. Then you are on a complete stock rom :thumbup:

CID: HTC_J15
Versoin mine: 3..14.401.619
it should be 415 right ? :0
i can't wait for the official RUU ! plz it's not my device i was acting smart and it's turn that i'm the dumbest ever

Well you can not use the European 3.14.401 ruu because that CID has been pulled off from the RUU but i don't know why !
and there is no matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup thread in the general section. I already looked there.
I think you have a serious problem here ...
But......when you installed a different rom, did you make sure you wiped everything that you could wipe in the recovery (cache,dalvik cache, system,data) ?
It seems to me that you didn't do a full wipe, or you didn't flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot usb mode ?
Download this file
http://db.tt/eLoVUcRc
Copy it to the phones sdcard, first you flash the boot.img in fastboot usb mode then you enter the recovery and do a factory reset, then you flash the file i gave you (just like a rom, it will wipe all) then you flash the rom !
Should be oke after that !

i did a cache wipe from the fastboot command .. i can't get into recovery it show a red triangle i try to re-lock and unlock it again root and install the clockmode and still with this prob .. so i try to flash a lot of boot.img file from some rom but nothing happen
it was working fine with full access to recovery mod till i flash a boot.img so i can install a room, there my problem start
i think there is no solution for my stupid mistake but if there any i'll be like, thank uuuuu

Well check all this .... Bootloader unlocked, if not unlock it and flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Download this one and rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you flash the boot.img of the rom you downloaded (its inside the rom.zip)
Copy the boot.img file also to the fastboot folder and flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you enter the recovery and do a full wipe including wiping the dalvik cache under the tab ADVANCED !
Then you install the rom.zip

okay i'll try this tomorrow, again step by step so i make sure i didn't miss anything
thank u .. i really want to try it know but it's 2a.m and i have a morning work
thank u again .. i'll update u with wut happen with me .

Good ! And charge the battery to a 100% before you start ! Can save you alot of trouble !

hey .. okay i start from da beging and so far every thing is good, i can access to the clockworkmod
now that i can't get inside the phone how can i flash the room ? it's the only step i miss

Did you read all this ....flashed the correct boot.img ?
You can flash the rom by pressing flash zip from sdcard (or something similar, can't recall at the moment) and select the rom.zip
And you can copy the rom.zip to the phones sdcard by mounting it as usb disk under the tab mounts & storage

hey, ya now the device finally work .. thanks god, and thank u
but the same problem, three soft button not working !

like mr hofs said if you install a custom rom it's pre-rooted...

First you need to flash a rom. A rom is rooted not the phone. Those are 2 different things.
First do all of this :
Download the rom of your choice and copy it to the phone sdcard. Cwm recovery - mounts & storage - mount usb device then copy it. Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img file to the fastboot folder on the pc.
Now boot into the bootloader and flash the boot.img with these commands
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Now enter the recovery (CWM 5.8.4.0 minimal) and perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Choose the rom.zip and continue to install
Reboot
Enjoy your rooted custom rom

Could it be that you don't read enough and Mr hofs and my posts? We said clearly that custom roms are already rooted you just need to flash and then you can install any apps which need root nothing more.... ._.

probably he means he already rooted his stock rom
and now is planning to go into custom rom, and he already download some of them yesterday
but anyway the step to install custom rom and root are almost the same except for need of flashing boot.img via fastboot mode

Reverting to stock issue

Hey ,I have been around the forum and not only for trying to find a way to get back to stock. What I did was I used my Nandroids boot.img and recovery.img and the phone started normally on 4.1.1 as it was when I backed it up. But when I downloaded OTA and tried to install I had the internalstorage issue ,I tried extracting it manually from Downloads app and at it stucks with the note that "This file is corrupted". I then installed another recovery named -endeavoru.recovery.signed.img and when I try to get into recovery a red exlamation mark appears .And checking for software updated says that I am running newest version of android.. Help will be much appreciated
Thanks

You can try downloading latest ruu and extracting boot.img and system.img from there, here's the instructions https: //sites.google.com/site/ androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu (remove spaces)
You have to flash them with fastboot

Full stock!
But within the boot loader you will always see the Information "RELOCKED"
Currently it is not possible to remove this because there would be S-OFF required.

Do not listen to this guy,wrong guide.This will soft brick your phone (stuck at bootloop). After flashing rom.zip you have to flash unlocktocken in order to flash recovery and wipe cache and factory reset. AND DO NOT flash CWM or TWRP recovery as they will soft brick your phone giving you error while reverting system while restoring nandroid backup, instead flash the recovery located in the nandroid back up!
