[Q] [Help!] Bricked One X

I wanted to flash LeeDroid's rom. After I flashed the boot image I realized that I haven't put the rom into the root of the phone's storage! silly me. I tried rebooting the system but it won't boot. Then I tried the unbrick methods on the forum but found no luck. At last I tried relocking it and restore it using RUU but it still won't work! It is saying that I got the wrong version of RUU, but where can i find the RUU for 1.28? Hope someone can help!!

What country are you in, which network are you on and did you buy your phone sim free?
If you go into fastboot mode and then boot into CWM using the command:
fastboot boot <CWM img file>.img
You'll then be able to use adb to push the rom zip onto your device which you can then flash with CWM.
If the RUU says you have the wrong version you probably have the RUU for another region/carrier.
It's pretty much impossible to permanently brick the one x (without s-off) so don't worry, you'll get it working eventually.

Thanks man. I am in Hong Kong and i am pretty sure it is sim free. after I tried running the RUU i have relocked the bootloader. for some reason I can't even get into recovery right now! When I try the RUU it saids the image version is 1.28.708.10 and I get error140

You can't install the 1.26 RUU after you've updated hboot with the 1.28 OTA.
Try installing this RUU: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257077_signed.exe, it's the same region but a newer version.
Flash the stock 1.28 recovery image and relock your bootloader before trying to install the RUU.
The 1.28 recovery image can be found here: http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/Asia_1.28_RUU/recovery_signed.img

Thanks so much!!
but i have already relocked the bootloader without flashing the recovery image ... would that make a difference?

If the RUU runs successfully then don't worry about it, if it throws another error then flash the stock recovery and try again.

[Q] HTC One X - Big Problem RUU

Hello XDA people
Im new in thread, but im follow the XDA at many time, so i hope im doing the right way
Explanation of my problem.
Im from PORTUGAL and i use a HOX with the VODAFONE rom...
When i buy it i see all that vodafone apps and i dont like it.....so what i do?... I make the bootloader unlock, the ROOT to my
HOX and everything goes fine to install in the future a ANDROID REVOLUTION HD, and that is the rom that i downloaded the version 10.6.
I put the rom in my SD, put the phone in fastboot, first the image via CMD, and the install ZIP of the rom
So far all normal.
But when i boot my htc it stucks on htc logo................
Well, i try again and again and nothing, do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and nothing.....nothing.....and again......nothing
After that
i thought to going back and RELOCKED the bootloader to put a STOCK RUU...
The RELOCKED works fine, but the problem it´s the RUU ---------- I dont find any compatible RUU for my HOX.
In this moment i have the 2.17.161. 4 and the radio is 2.1204.137D1.21 ------ i dont find any RUU compatible with this.
I try the RUU´S 1.26, 1.28, 2.17 and nothing
Allways the ERROR 140: Bootloader version problem.......
What can i do to REVIVE my HOX ?
Please if someone can help me i will be very grateful!:crying:
Sorry for my English..........im Portuguese!!!

Did you take a nandroid backup before trying to flash arhd 10.6?
If not, you could just flash arhd 9.7.2.

The HOX now is RELOCKED.
and i can reboot to stock to put another custom rom, or it´s possible put a custom rom
on HOX in bootloader mode?

follow this guide from master Shnizlon
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
Flash new firmware using the commend 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.
On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Flash custom recovery using the commend 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Download boot.img and flash it using the commend ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use the commend 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!

You'll need to unlock and install clockworkmod, then you can restore nandroid backup (dont forget boot.img) or install custom rom.

OK. I leave apart the RUU, only some question, because im a noob!!!
1º I can not enter in the HOX only in bootloader mode, how do i create a virtual SD ?
2º the HOX is relocked, i have to relocked again ?
3º which JB rom i install for this ?
sorry for this questions, but i have done so much, that i´m afraid to brick my HOX.

I´ts possible in bootloader mode install a rom on the sd ? via cmd or other ? i dont know how to do that!!!

[Q] stuck at bootloader

Hi guys
I have problem here
I tried to unroot my phone because i wanted the stock rom again..
But somehow it went wrong and the bootloader is relocked with a security warning under it.
I also have a bootloop, so i don't know what to do right now

I think you relocked it with custom recovery, and maybe also your ROM.and boot.img don't match.
Did you restore a nandroid backup? Flash a boot.img? Or just relock it?
I suggest you run an RUU if you can, to find out which:
fastboot getvar version-main
Or main-version, can't remember.
Get it from htcruu.com, I think. Damn, my memory is shot today.

Well i did something with custom recovery.. but my memory also is **** today haha.
I only tried to unroot my htc by deleting the su file and the other file, which the name i have forgotten..
I was following a guide, but later on i saw it was for stock roms only, and at that time i had a custom rom..
Maybe that's the problem?
Anyways, i haven't got any nandroid backup, just a titanium backup.. but that one is on the phone right?

Grab your version-main and then look for a backup or RUU. There are threads for both, in the dev section, and probably sticky.

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

According to the hboot (1.12) you need a 2.17 based ruu .... but i can't find it !
Tthe basic steps now are
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?

Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours

You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

HTC One M8 Canadian RUU

I need an HTC One M8 Telus/Koodo RUU for my phone. I flashed GPE Rom and it works great but i want the 5.0 update of my carrier but i can't flash it because i am on a custom rom so i would like to revert back to stock in order to flash the 5.0 update.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.

thanks for your help!
ok the second link you posted led me to a canadian nandroid backup.
thanks a lot for your help man
Edit: my hboot is 3.18 and its the only one missing
what should i do?

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

i just flashed the one saying 3.x. its a 5.0 nandroid backup and all is working except wifi for some weird reason. looks like the firmware wasnt updated.
i have nothing against paying 25$ its just that sunshine never worked for me. It always said it didnt like my kernel and that i should try with a stock and i was too lazy tbh

Use 3.34.661.4 backup for 4.4.4 but wifi will not work on your device yet because you have hboot 3.18.0000
Find the 2.23.661.2 -> 3.34.661.4 - thanks @shaboobla on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Extract out firmware.zip from that OTA zip (with 7-zip)
then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)
Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

how would i flash a firmware in RUU mode? you mean like renaming it to some weird name like PG.... and placing it in root of sdcard and going in fasboot? or is it something else because tbh i have never heard of flashing something in RUU mode
thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
EDIT: I just found out i can go to RUU mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU".
so i can flash the firmware with "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
thanks again for all your help guys

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem

You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

oh didnt know that, i guess i wont then

I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me out!
I did everything and now i am on android 5.0.1 (although i ran into a small problem: process com.android.phone is not responding, factory reset from recovery fixed it)
Hope this thread helps someone else with similar problems

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)

Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.

One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.
