Hey all,
My friend's phone used to boot it to the bootloader after every 6 hours or so on its own. Now it booted again to the bootloader and bootloops to the HTC screen and bootloader. It is S-ON and bootloader is locked. I can see option for fastboot, recovery. Havent tried anything yet. No custom rom was ever installed and was never rooted.
hboot version is 1.36.0000
Also it shows a warning that Battery Level is too low to flash.
is there anything be done to restore the phone or is it hard bricked?
if you want screenshot of the bootloader then I can post.
EDIT: Screenshow of the bootloader screen attached
Install RUU. It should fix your problem.

Ran the battery boosting script. Was able to exectute the unlock.bin command. It went successfully. Phone asked me to accept the disclaimer voiding warranty. I did that. Rebooted the bootloader. And still, it shows as locked but now with a Security warning. Along with the batterly level too low to flash warning.
Any help? I was trying to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery to charge the phone atleast 30%.
UPDATE: After sever re-tries I figured out, now when on the htc disclaimer screen when I use volume buttons to select Yes, the power button to select doesn't responds, but for no it works.!
Don't know what my phone is upto. it is getting too much frustrating to me.
UPDATE: Got another unlock_code.bin from HTCDev. But now another problem is there. No matter how many times I try the device stays unlocked. I tried almost 15 stays in a row and I stays locked. Any idea how can I get out of this mess?

Everyone just made a trade today for iphone 4s 64gb for a tegra 3 htc one x. I bricked my phone trying to unroot it wanting some old software back. Stuck on bootloader screen. I don't have access to any files or anything. Please leave download links and very detailed steps. I'm a real dummy. I got it relocked so far and basically want to get it back up and running. Looks like a european version not 100% on that.
Which rom were you on before unrooting? Were you trying to flash an ruu ? What did you do to unroot and at which point did you get stuck ?

I first downloaded the unroot files did the relock by doing the recovery through cmd. I just followed a youtube video and the point it was suppose to restart it gave me that red alert sign and got stuck so I factory reset and it keeps going back to bootloader.

You relock by typing this into your terminal : fastboot oem lock
No additional files needed its just a command
Then download the stock recovery for one x which you can find in a lot of places and this forum as well, put it in your fastboot folder, to make it simpler rename it to something like hoxstockrec.img .. now put your phone in fastboot and in terminal type fastboot flash recovery hoxstockrec.img
I don't know about that unrooting file you were talking about but it probably does its job. Also, are you on stock ROM?

hi im in the exact same situation can you help please?did you figure it out?done what the other guy in this post said and still didnt work
You can install the original 1.29 RUU for European HOX. You need to boot the phone while typing vol down+power button, press fastboot and run the downloaded RUU. You need at least 30% of battery. (Relocked bootloader needed)

So I tried flashing an RUU on my One X. Its driving me nuts. Its stuck in bootloader, and won't go out of it. Even if I press power down it'll come back on into boot loader by itself.
I've tried every single guide I can find and everything fails or just won't work.
It was bought rooted with ARHD on it which is why I wanted to try the RUU. It has no recovery and won't let me flash one either.
Please help. I can't take it back as it was bought second hand without warranty.
Did you relock bootloader and run as admin?
Also the ruu has to match 'fastboot getvar version-main'

Do NOT make multiple threads with the same question. Its against xda rules and very annoying !

Tried to go from S-ON to S-OFF but it failed while updating phone with firmware.zip. Cmd said it was done but phone showed no activity. Rebooted phone and its stuck at HTC logo. Found a way to boot to bootloader but instead of going straight to recovery to restore what I had, I first re unlocked bootloader. Now im stuck at HTC logo with no way to get to bootloader (volume down key not working). Im not a complete noob, just new to this phone. Have tried to use adb to boot into bootloader and recovery but it is not being found by my pc. Is there any way of forcing phone into bootloader? I would appreciate any help given
EDIT : FIXED

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039 used this manual guide but once I flashed the firmware.zip it did not complete. so i rebooted and then unlocked bootloader hoping that i could carry on with the error. turns out firmware.zip actually didn't get pushed to the phone completely and i'm not at S-OFF and phone wont boot
Hey guys, I really need some assistance. I had rooted my phone a couple weeks back and now it runs the latest TWRP. Currently I have a System Update for my phone, but everytime I try to update it brings me to the TWRP Recovery menu and I dont know what to do from there. I had attempted to unroot my phone as well and that has also failed. If there is someone who can help me out with this problem, I'd be extremely grateful.

probably easiest to flash the RUU for t-mobile. you can get it from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You will have to relock the bootloader first from what i have heard unless you are s-off. relocking the bootloader is fastboot oem lock
I'm in the same boat. Can you even do the update through TWRP?
I'm also not sure I even rooted this properly (new to HTC) for the reason of whenever I plug in the charger when the phone is powered off, I get this orange type of text warning then it flickers to the TWRP screen before finally displaying the charging animation.

What does that mean?
Look through the 4.4.3 post. Plenty of info in that post.
Hi, I did the bootloader unlock, then flashed twrp recovery and rooted my one m8 to remove some default system apps. I did this as I liked the htc 10 concept, so followed it. Now after all that I, I did a reset of my phone to remove root and flashed back the original recovery file. And I relocked the bootloader to try to make it all back to normal and thinking that warning sign "This build is for development purposes only n so on..." will go. But the problem came when i did the relock of the bootloader, and restarted the phone I got stuck in fastboot/hboot. Restarted many times even did factory reset from stock recovery but still stuck on fastboot/hboot. So I had no option to unlock bootloader again and get my phone working .
Please I want to remove the "This build is for development purposes only n so on..." being in unlock bootloader or locked bootloader doesn't matter .

Now please note I have unlocked htc m8 Smartphone with S-on ....
Please, please. Use the search bar next time. But you have to be S-Off. There's no way to clear that message with S-On.

I believe the only way to get rid of the red text is to s off the phone and flash a modified h boot

Thanks, I just installed my stock rom and recovery back and relocked it..... its all fine now, just sense home update does not happens. In google play it shows incompatible due to maybe some imposed restrictions by HTC . I have to manually update it for now .
