[Q] Go back to the start

Hi everyone
I just have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
So I purchased my Nexus second hand and It has a new rom flashed onto it.
When I boot up the phone I get a picture of a pink unicorn.
I also Nova launcher installed aswell.
While I am getting used to the phone, I'm just not sure what he has done.
Has he rooted the phone ect....
Is there a way I can go back to the start as if it was taken out of the box?
And then work on it myself..
At this stage I have messages and pictures on the phone..
Can and how do I back these up?
Thanks in advance

GSM/VERIZON/SPRINT?
GSM/Verizon have images/odin files available.
Linked in post 3 of the link in my signature.
"Returning to stock"
I think sprint still relies on nandroids.
Oh, and you have AOKP installed.
Fantastic ROM =]

thanks
Thanks for the reply, I'm in Ireland so guess its GSM.
Is there a European factory rom? Also is my phone rooted?

Check out this link
The download will start automatically. Flash it via fastboot (If you know, how that works).
Otherwize, check my signature, download the Root Helper, and flash stock, via fastboot menu

[Q] is it possible to remotely enable wi-fi or mobile data for htc one x?

i need to have a connection to authenticate my gmail account bcause my friend maxed out pattern attempts. i know the pattern, i know the gmail account, usb debug is unfortunately off as well as wi-fi and mobile data connection. i managed to turn on the bluetooth (if that would help) while randomly tapping home capacitive button and while doing it my home screen abruptly shows up then back to authenticate screen.
i also don't want to do factory reset right now, i have important multimedia files and messages and doing factory reset will erase them.
i know the IMEI, serial number of my htc one x unit, still have the box if someone from htc can do it remotely. hopefully.
also, if there would be any other way that the gallery and/or messages can be recovered please help me.
thanks a lot! don't care if it will be almost a week that it's been locked, but it's starting to be an inconvenience but still tolerable for me...
please help me,

I'm sure if you try wrong patterns too many times, a option for forgot pattern pops up. You enter your Gmail details and you're good to go.
Didn't that work out?
Ps - I'm not really sure if such is the case when you have no connectivity.
Are you rooted?
If yes, go to recovery and backup. Either flash same rom with cache wipe or flash new rom and restore data.
You'll be good.

Also in recovery you could mount usb and copy media off.

Ok, so your not rooted therefore you will not have a custom recovery.
I wonder if you could go into bootloader, then have fastboot usb access. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery. Copy off your stuff through recovery usb mount. Then flash a new Rom. What you will lose is everything on the phone but you should save your photos and stuff.

yes! definitely! ) maybe i was too kind to just let any of my friends to play around with my phone not they're not wary that something might happen. i haven't tried rooting so i'll give this a try tomorrow morning. i hope to seek more help from here. )
btw, is the gallery really stored in the sdcard in htc one x? cause i email tech support for htc and they told me that photos are stored in the mmc, so they will not be erased if i perform factory reset. is this true?? thanks again!

I would stick with athulele's route if i were you - triple check it doesnt work before trying a sledge hammer approach.
If not then I know that unlocking the bootloader through htcdev will wipe your phone data and apps etc but sdcard remains untouched. I cant say what a factory reset in bootloader does as i never tried.
EDIT: my comment relates to unlocking a relocked bootloader on an s-off device. So its possible the first time unlock or even a relock on an s-on device might wipe the sdcard contents.
Good luck - maybe other will have tips. if you go ahead and try unlocking bootloader there are loads of threads with instructions here. Just stop after you flashed the custom recovery and use it to mount usb and copy off your pics. Then try a reset from within bootloader or flash a new rom.

Just to chip in.....there are reports of wiped sdcards when unlocking the bootloader.
Just saying.......
Edit : it will delete ALL data including sdcard.

Wierd, I only did this recently to check something else and although my Rom was reset all my sdcard pics etc remained, I just restored a nandroid from the sd (which was also still there) and was back in business. Wonder why this would vary ? Perhaps I dreamt it or im going mad. I may have to try it again tomorrow.

When you enter the security key wrong a few times, it will ask you if you have forgotten your password.
Click forger password.
Enter your Email ID and password.
The phone will take you the settings where you can change your security key.

You went from unlocked to relocked and back to unlocked.....the first time it should wipe all ! And maybe there is a small difference because you are S-OFF ?

Good point edited post to that effect, I cant remember what happened on the first locked to unlocked on my first Hox (which was s-on) and my current s-off was already relocked when i bought it.
pjgt : If all other avenues fail and you were going to unlock bootloader and root\custom ROM anyway then there is a small chance but it doesnt sound likely. Id recommend buying and installing Cerberus or similar once your back up and running - it allows an sms to unlock device or change password. This 'may' have bypassed your problem.

Check my edit thanks to Mr Hofs.
Fact is I unlocked a relocked bootloader on an S-OFF one x and my sdcard was not erased.
You will be unlocking a locked bootloader on an S-ON device so I cannot guarantee the outcome.
Its a chance if all else fails

No Signal!

Hi everyone, i recently got this HTC ONE X (Second hand) 13 months old
and i found that there was no signal in the phone!
No service, emergency calls only :crying:
I tried with three different SIM cards, the SIM Contacts do show up and the phone shows
"Preparing SIM card' but the network doesn't appear!
The phone was properly working with the SIM of the guy i bought it from, he was even using Mobile DATA!!!
It even worked for me sometimes, it shows signal, i try to make calls and it dissappears!
also the Gyro Sensor is not working :crying:
Can anyone help me with these issues?
Should i take it to HTC Care for any Hardware issues or should try with few more SIM Cards?
thanx

You holding it right?
Seriously, could just be an APN issue.
Go into Settings, Mobile data (click on the NAME not the on/off switch), and Access Point Names...
If you're network isn't in there you're going to have to create an APN and find out your carrier settings.

It was running stock rom, just bootloader is unlocked,
still to be double sure, i restored the stock rom from NANDROID backup for my phone as RUU weren't available.

Hi all. Hijacking this thread. Have a similar issue.
ATT HTC One X (Evita). Works fine with the exception of no signal on the phone. It reads the SIM with no issues - can retrieve SMS and view contacts. Phone shows no signal whatsoever - can't make any calls - can't run any USSD codes.
So far I got the bootloader unlocked and S-OFF - tried to load different ROMs I found but nothing worked. Managed to soft-brick the phone with it stuck on the screen before loading recovery, but managed to fix that with a RUU EXE (couldn't find a ZIP). The RUU EXE I found was for the latest version so now it's updated. Icon still remains the same - signal bar with an X on it.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Any suggestions at all. Thanks in advance.

Yeah. This thread is kinda dead now but I promised to post back. No solution for this issue on the one I have. Currently gave it away to a child to use as a small tablet. The signal just doesn't work. Nothing tried works. If I was the original owner I guess I'd have taken it back. Maybe a factory fault? Anyways. Thanks for all the help!

[q] htc one xl cant go into recovery

I'm sorry, I might be in the wrong forum but since there's no ONE XL lol. So I bought this ONE XL from Hong Kong and I'm in Mexico. I got the phone and everything was great until it prompted me to update my software so I clicked yes, it updated to 4.1 something with sense 4+ and then it prompted me to update again so I clicked yes. Thing is it updated to 4.2.2 with sense 5. Everything was good until I realized I could access my phone as storage divice so I can't transfer file in or out of it. There is no CONNECT TO PC option. And another thing, it erased the SPANISH phone language (i need it because i share the phone with my gf). So I did some research and found out about morelocale 2 which would allow me to add Spanish back again but turns out I need SU access. So I thought it would be much easier to just flash a rom and use something with 4.0.3 again. The phone was already sim-unlocked and with S-OFF so all I did was unlock the bootloader but when I flash a recovery like clorckwork or twrp it goes to a white HTC SCREEN LOGO and in red letters thes this "this build is made for development purposes only...." and then it reboots like 3 times and starts the phone up normal again. Anyone knows what can I do? Or what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Sorry about the long explanation.

There is HTC one XL forum. (AT&T, Rogers) go there
And yes jellybean doesn't support UMS anymore, only MTP.

My stock M9 is stuck in bootloop! Can't boot to recovery! Help please!

Hello guys!
First and foremost, I'm new to the forum as well as an Android noob (switched from Iphone 5 half a year ago). I have never rooted my phone nor have I flashed a custom ROM before. I have a 32 GB HTC One M9 from Verizon on stock Lollipop Android, and it has been working perfectly until this morning. I woke up to my M9 stuck in a bootloop. It would boot to the HTC logo, stay there for about 10 sec, then go black and constantly restart again (even as I type this). I can access the bootloader, but it seems none of the options work for me! I can't boot to recovery mode or even power off my phone. It just constantly boots again by itself. I've emailed HTC support and hope to hear from them soon, but I figured why not ask a respected forum as well. I've read up on similar issues from other people, but it seems none of their solutions work for me as I cannot access recovery or even do a hard reset! Any help is appreciated! I want to be able to use my phone ASAP!

HTC One M9 Sprint, stuck in boot loop
I just checked the Dead NAND post in the FAQ... matches my issue too.
Q17: My phone is completely stock and started bootlooping during normal usage. Now I can only enter the Bootloader since I face booting errors as soon as I try to enter the Download Mode or the Stock Recovery. How can I fix this problem?
A: This seems to be another symptom of the NAND death (c.f. the black download mode error screen in Q8). So far, it's not fixable without HTC's help. In other words: You need to send your phone to HTC's repair service if you want to keep it.
