My Phone no longer boots - completly my fault , can someone help please - HTC One X

Hello I really hope someone can help me.
My phone did the htc one x update (sense 5??) yesterday and i decided to wipe my phone to give it a fair chance to impress me.
as i was copying files over something got corrupt and i lost all my photos, i downloaded various apps to "undelete" but all needed root access.
I never wanted to root my phone but these photos are very important and can never be replaced now.
I used HTCDEV and unlocked the bootloder and the undelete apks still didnt work.
I followed instructions from some youtube video (i know .. like i say i know this is my fault) and then phone no longer boots
I can get into CWM etc and have installed 2 roms that i had downloaded from here and a nandbackup from here and still get same results - nothing
could someone please help me fix my phone (i have accepted i have now lost all my stuff)
thank you for your time and patience
larry.

Same boat, different quarters
looks like you and i have almost identical issues, perhaps the chap that helps you can help me as well.
htc one x, with rogers, with clockworkmod installed, nandroid backup already created.
so, my phone is rooted, has been for awhile. i attempted to install a version of cyanogen mod about half an hour ago using hte fastboot flash boot boot.img command.
it seemed to go fine
my phone can no longer boot past the htc screen. it appears to be trying to boot into recovery, but failing for some reason.
i tryed restoring my nandroid backup, no sd card detected. as anyone responding ot this will know, one x has no SD, but does have an internal SD partition. i couldn' even select my nandroid to restore it.
ive been searching for an HTC ruu to run without sucess, ruu's are only available for the US ATT model.
any help is welcome. thanks in advance.

@Wackywilly522 if you have the Rogers one x you are in the wrong forum, and anything you flash from this forum will damage your phone. You need to be in the Rogers, telstra, at&t forum. This is for the tegra 3 international one x

Thank you for peoples replies.
I understand that my data is 99% sure all gone , at present I just wish to get phone to actually boot.
I thought loading a new rom / nandbackup would have let it boot but I must have damaged something?
I am sorry for being a 'noob' when it comes to this but any help on steps to get the phone to actually be able to make a call would be most helpful.
Thank you once again for your help.

Hey Larry, I m sorry for the loss of your data. Happened to me too once. Can you plz explain in detail what you actually did? I would like to help you to at least get the phone working. I m on my mobile now. As soon as I can get a PC, I'll try to help you as best I can.

You were on stock Sense 5 4.2.2. So you are on HBOOT 1.72. When you unlock the bootloader and root the phone, the process wipes everything on your phone and your SD storage. So that's why you lost all the photos and everything. But if you have that data backed up somewhere on cloud, you can get it back.
Now as far as the phone not booting, you have CWM and you can get into it. Do you have superuser installed?
As you are on HBOOT 1.72, not every ROM can be flashed into your device now. Plz check the ROM if it can be installed on your device.
If it can be, a boot.img has to be flashed and then the zip can be flashed via CWM.

You lost your data is due to the fact that you unlocked your bootloader for the very first time. There is a prompt saying that you will lose all your data and advice you to back it up. Which probably you didnt that is why this results.

O2 OTA Red Triangle of Death

Hello Guys (and gals). Having an issue applying O2's new 2.17 OTA update. I did have my device rooted and CWM installed but noting else after that (no custom roms, etc.). I have tried every unrooting method (flashboot signed recovery and signed boot, relocking bootloader, etc), running RUU manually (only O2 UK RUU is 1.26 - my device was OTA 1.29, hboot 0.96 so I am getting 140 Bootloader version error).
Is there anything i can do to force on the legit O2 OTA that was released (past the phone going down a storm drain and the insurance claimed for a new device??? Not that I would do that of course ). I would like to be able to run OTA's handy in the future - but rooting does have its benifits - but for now, any assist on helping with the O2 OTA would be greatly appreciated.
You cannot accept an OTA update with CWM installed.
You must have stock recovery installed to accept the OTA.

You can't use a ruu lower than the version your on now, you need 1.29 or 2.17

I think i'm having the same problem...
I bought the phone 2nd hand and the guy who i bought it from said that he'd removed/disabled the bootloader, but it doesn't look like it.
How can i removed/disable it to be able to get the o2 update?

you need stock rom (either from nandroid back up or installed from a RUU), stock boot.img and stock recovery.img

Can you get into the bootloader? (hold volume down and power button for 10 seconds)
sent from my One X using xda venom premium
I'm pretty sure I can - the bootloader screen came up when I tried to install the update.
And no, I've never flashed the system mods or deleted any system apps, but would i need to check with the guy I bought it from first?
Being a complete noob at this stuff - will going to the boot screen do anything if I don't do anything from there?

Just going into the bootloader won't cause any damage.
What version are you on now? You could always run a ruu to get it back to complete stock then try performing the ota.

As I said at the start, I stripped everything back (original signed boot and recovery flashed, root removed, SU apk's removed, the works).

[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.

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

[Q] PLEASE HELP! LG G3 Bricked?

So, on Thursday I picked up an LG G3 from Verizon. I was absolutely loving it. But like most people, I wanted custom ROM's and roots and all the fun stuff you can do with android phones. I rooted my device the day I got it with IORoot. Everything is working fine at this point.
After this, i wanted a custom ROM. I found that there wasn't many for my specific model, but i did see the Sphinx G3 Neo ROM. I payed no attention to what variant it was for and loaded it up on my phone. At first, everything was working perfectly and it was butter smooth. But then I noticed whatever messaging app I tried to use would not work. I did a factory reset and then did the same process to load Sphinx on my G3. This time, messages were working, however, mobile data was not. I finally had enough of this and decided to return to the stock ROM. I found all of the stock files and was attempting to use the TOT method. I put the phone in download mode (which it won't come out of btw) and tried to start flashing. I then realized what I had done and saw that my device was reading something like D855. So when I downloaded the Verizon files it wont work. But will I be able to fix this? Have any of you had this problem before? This phone is brand new and I cannot replace it at this point. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Hi,
So sad to hear that. Have you tried TOT files from this thread?
I hope your imei is intact.

I don't it is bricked per say. I do believe that the only way to solve the problem will be to do as you were trying, return it to stock with .tot files, you just need to find some information which I did see in the threads somewhere with regards to getting out of download mode.
Once you get that done and flash back to stock, then you can root again, I would suggest using Stump root, and the unlock the bootloader with Bump, and this would be a good time to make a backup with the recovery TWRP.
Be calm and read as much as possible, I hope you sort it out. Good luck.

Nah, just gotta pay more attention to what I'm doing. Plus, bump just came out.
I take 6 hours to find solution, must use another dll "LGUP_8974.dll"
This one let .tot file take control and don't check phone model, if someone have the same issues this can help

help with "imei, baseband, ect 'unknown'"

old m9 ended up kicking the bucket sorta (usb died, so no way to charge the phone) so i bought a used one from swappa. it came with the latest ruu flashed, but i decided to reflash again to make sure it was totally clean (RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_3.38.502.12.exe). it went fine and so i began the process of unlocking it and flashing recovery (twrp 3.0.2.0) and flashing a rom (arhd 20 which is marshmallow) and titanium backuping back into shape. it unlocked and flashed recovery fine, however when i flashed the rom and did the first boot, i noticed i had no signal even though the stock rom had 4 bars of lte. it was also very laggy and had issues with crashing apps and for some reason still had at&t bloatware even though i did a dalvik/cache/system/data wipe beforehand and then a data wipe during the install and was missing inbuilt htc apps like internet. in the settings it shows that the imei, baseband, and other things related are all "unknown". i researched and came across a fix where you flash back your stock boot image, and it worked, except it would fail to boot after the first reboot. so that was useless.
i decided to try flashing arhd 14 (lollipop) because its what my old m9 had since forever and never gave me an issue. surprisingly, it actually installed and ran just fine even though the phone is on marshmallow firmware, as well as much quicker and smoother than arhd 20. however, i have the same issue. no signal, and imei and stuff "unknown". it does show my imei in download mode so i know the phone itself didnt forget it somehow. i have no idea what is going on here because ive literally never had this problem with any phone, even with my old m9 and i absolutely refuse to use a stock rom and have to manually deal with all of the bloatware especially with selinux making anything remotely "dangerous" an excessive hassle. can someone help me figure out this unnecessary pita?
this is what is shown in the download mode screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***

Are you S-OFF? if so, are you sure that you used the correct firmware. Never had this issue myself, but am remembering from the days on the M9 that such an issue could occur if a wrong firmware is flashed.
Another chance could be the following one: if your RUU didn't download correctly it might be damaged and thus have caused the problem. This may be the case as you're missing stock Apps after flash. Have you checked if the md5 of the downloaded file is correct.
Edit: report back if it helped.

Yeah turns out the latest arhd is made for 3.35 and I'm on 3.38, so that's why it's all jacked up. And of course there is no way to "downgrade" (see: upgrade) to a lower firmware without $25 s off. Pretty ridiculous I have to pay just to s off so I can put my phone on an older software that works better because of "security" (see: money).

I still think something went wrong when flashing RUU. A 3.35 based ROM shouldn't jack up anything, as long as your firmware is even a later one than the ROM base. Btw 25 bucks are well invested regarding all the work they do, but it's the wrong place to discuss. Did you check if the RUU downloaded correctly and the md5 after download still is the same as given in the dl link. Missing stock Apps after flashing an RUU are a major indicator for a bad download, and if firmware parts where missing in this download as well, you'll end up just as you'd described in your opening post.

I used the ruu 2 or 3 times and it worked fine every time and the stock rom runs just fine. It's when trying to flash the rom it doesn't work, and I used one I downloaded from my computer, from my phone, and one I already had on my SD and they all ended up with the same result.

It actually does. That's why thicklizard made his custom kernel. The 3.3x firmware versions for SKUs which skipped the 3.35 version are not compatible with 3.35 roms unless that kernel gets flashed.
Edit: I just read that the mono-revisited kernel is only for AOSP roms. I'm sorry but it seems like I don't have a solution for sense roms.

Doesn't daktah say in the OP that he was missing those apps after flashing ARHD20? I never used that rom but it sounds like they got uninstalled during the installation. Does ARHD have an aroma installer like the Viper rom does where you can select which apps to install or not to install?

Thanks for the clarification mate.
Didn't remember this one.. guess it's already to long since I used my M9. I'm not sure if he tried to state exactly what I quoted from your post, cause he jumps from RUUing right to the flash of ARHD. never used it myself, this I don't know if it comes with an Aroma Installer at all. Either way it would be interesting to know what happens if he just boots into his stock ROM, to make sure the cause isn't a bad download of the RUU. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken

So I managed to fix it... By replacing the USB/aux board in my phone. Only cost 10 bucks for a new one . However now i have a problem where my phone will not charge at full speed and will actually give me the "using too much power to charge" message when doing a titanium backup even on the stock charger. The battery was at dead flat 0 for like 5 days before I fixed it, so do I need to replace it or is there something else I can do to fix it? When it's full it holds a charge for as long as it did before, just charging is not working correctly it seems.

HTC 10 EE Stock Recovery/Firmware

Hey Folks
I have a slight issue, I had a rooted HTC 10(UK EE) phone running firmware 1.80.91.1, which I wanted to update so I flashed a back-up from TWRP to restore OTA functionality, however, this backup was corrupted and the phone got stuck in a boot loop with no OS, hurrah!
I've sorted that however, by locating a TWRP backup of 1.21.91.4, which was the only one I could find for the CID EVE__001, this file was just a boot and sys.img no recovery, now I still can't get OTA updates as I'm getting the file system is corrupted error when trying to download the updates.
So I've hunted and hunted either to find a full back-up, recovery or RUU that will work with my CID as I'm S-on, I have had no luck, so I can no longer get updates for the phone.
So, does anyone have a stock recovery they could upload for either 1.21.91.4, or even better a full back-up of any of the x.xx.91.x firmware? I've been tearing my hair out trying to find anything above 1.21.91.4 and even that was just a partially back up.
Any help is muchly appreciated.
Hi, I am om EE uk but my CID is HTC__001.
I HAVE A FULL BACKUP DONE IN TWRP, WHICH YOU CAN HAVE. I WILL SORT IT OUT AND SEND YOU A LINK. DONT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT CID, BUT YOU CAN GIVE IT A GO.
GIVE ME A DAY OR SO.
Sorry to resurrect the thread, @si86 I've having trouble restoring radio signal on my HTC 10 after flashing an incorrect ROM, I'm on EE also- I'd really appreciate a copy of your TWRP backup to try on my handset if you are able to supply, would be very appreciated! I'm able to change the CID to match, having been through them all recently! My bootloader is unlocked and I'm S-Off. Thanks.
@Tuesg Were you able to rectify your situation?

I've just hunted high and low to try and figure out why nothing will flash successfully to my HTC 10.
turns out to be this same issue, I'm showing as CID - EVE_001 on an MID 2PS62000
Any chance you could send me that link as well so that I can at least try and get the phone back to a usable state instead of being stuck in either bootloader, download or recovery.
My phone is Bootloader unlocked, but still S-On as I hadn't got that far yet.
Will i need to flash a stock recovery? and lock the bootloader again to get this to install properly?
It's really proving tricky as hell.
I got caught out a bit here as I was half way to using sunshine to s_off, and then I accidentally triggered an OTA update to Nougat 7.0.......
It never restarted properly after that and i've been unable to get it back to 6 or any other ROM at all as they all fail.
I managed to fix it, but only by switching to s-off and installing the EU edition software, I'm a tad concerned now though as I've yet to get the roll out of the 7.0 update, not sure if that's because of installing a different firmware or whether it hasn't been rolled out yet.
@si86 Many thanks for your assistance and sharing the files, I was unable to fix my phone after trying various avenues (100+hrs) so I swallowed my pride and went the insurance route, not worth spending more time on getting to work and I now have a rather nice device, yet unusable call/texts wise to play with alongside my nice shiny new one running 2.41.91.3 - I've rooted and S-off with sunshine, just trying to decide whether i'm going to play with some more custom ROMS again! Of course I am!
@Tuesg Kudos on fixing your issue!

You can usually do it straight from the SuperSU app itself.

Along with superuser usually comes with an app for configuring it, depending on how it was rooted. SuperSU is usually the most common although I much prefer magisk.
It will be obvious what it's called, either superuser, SuperSU, etc. SuperSU contains within it the ability to fully unroot.
If there's no app, and if it is a stock rom, and not a custom one, a factory reset will remove it. If not, you will probably need to either do some adb commands to remove it, or remove it using the recovery.

In short terms, yes that might work for banking apps but it won't work for future Android updates. You need a completely stock (untouched) system and SU changes that even if you choose to unroot via the application.
hi when i i tried that super user unoot it goes to Twrp bootloader and nothing in there says unroot or uninstall twrp bootloader

I've had that issue with both Viper and Maximus. Removing root doesnt seem to totally remove it, and certain apps still pick up ... something.
Going back to total stock condition is a huge pain in the unmentionables. Because quite a lot of phones don't actually have an RUU for thier CID (for instance mine, H3G__001) has no RUU. So complete stock, even from TWRP backup was never an option for me. Even though ROOT wasnt an issue, things like OTA problems persisted no matter what.
I had to S-OFF (worth it in general tbh) in order to go back to a complete stock condition using the HTC WWE version (HTC__001). In the end I just decided to stick with the ROM I have now, LeeDroid. It has the option to be installed without root from the get go, but these days I just use Magisk. It is so simple to hide from banking apps and even things like pokemon go, that it doesnt do any harm having root there.

Hi there,
I'm in the exact same spot as the guy above. I restored the backup he mentioned, but don't have the Recovery. Therefore my phone is telling me I need to enter decryption password and won't boot past it.
Would you be able to give me that backup too?
Thanks.
