[Q] Help Please - Bricked One X

Another thread like this... I know. Sorry.
In an attempt to load the modified battery management file, I've managed to brick my One X. It just sits at the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen and that's as far as it gets.
I can boot into bootloader and then use fastboot, which in turn has allowed me to load the Clockwork Touch Recovery. I can reboot and load this recovery fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get it to boot back into the normal OS.
I cannot mount the phone on my laptop as that's not an option (that I'm aware of) in the One X recovery mode. Therefore I cannot copy across a new ROM to the SDCard and reload via 'Update.zip'.
Battery is healthy, everything was working prior to this failed attempt at being clever.
What other options are there to re-load a ROM and get the device working again?
Thanks in advance for your help
Rob

Thank you, very much. A question, where it says:
'After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.'
I've downloaded what I think is right and I have a .zip file, how can I get this onto the device to install it?

It is mentioned in the instructions. You will need to use adb.
Edit: I presume that you have fast boot and adb installed on your PC. If not you will need to do that for your device to be recognized

That's the trouble, I can't. Because there is no USB access in recovery, ADB doesn't work.
Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I just edited my reply. Do you have all the drivers installed on your PC?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

No adb.
Boot into fastboot on mobile and run the RUU from pc.
You need to have your bootloader locked before the RUU can run.
fastboot oem lock

Also did you try a factory reset in recovery and then tried to reboot into system

Thanks guys, sorry for the slow reply...
I do indeed have ADP/Fastboot on my computer still.
Where can I download the stock RUU? I can find a .zip version from this very forum, but how do I install that if I can't transfer it? I had assumed there would be a .exe version to run from my computer. Is there?
skywalker1970 - I did indeed try that, thanks.
Thanks again

My Friend has Bootlooped his One X

Hi. I asked my friend that is new to android:
to root his android phone n flash his phone so he can become somewhat of a modder:
however he has just told me that he has got into a bootloop after flashing the cyan theme on a stock HTC ONE X bootloader unlocked.(international)
He had not made a backup & wants the least complicated method
Do you have a simple solution so he can boot his phone into his phone?
Edit: I have looked on google but cannot find the right solution for his situation.

Hold the power button down til it turns black and the lights blink then hold volume down to boot into bootloader.
Then select recovery and reflash his Rom. Or push the stock files that got edited using adb.

If recovery doesn't boot tell him to go into bootloader -> fastboot and then use 'fastboot erase cache'.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yes he can get into recovery, i kinda feel responsible cause i told him to flash something.
Anyways I've searched on google n i can't find any clear instructions on erasing fasboot cache

Why did you tell him to flash something he knew nothing about? Surely you advised him to read up on everything first, download the right RUU as backup, etc?

Just grab a Rom and flash it in recovery that will fix it. Don't make it complicated. No need for anything else he only changed a few files like systemui and framework.res, once they get replaced again with the new Rom it will boot as normal.

[Q] HTC ONE X "Unable to update"

Ok got my phone about 3 weeks ago "rooted" it
Then yesterday i saw there was a update so i tried to update.

HTML:
Unable to update
E: unknow volume for path [.....zip]
E: Can't mount INTRENALSDCARD: Download/OTA_ENDEAV...zip
So i mounted it and when to the path and opened the zip
Got a validation error. so i disable validation then it throw loads of errors so restarted phone factory rest it. and tried again.
Same problem can anyone please help me :?
edit: also tried clearing cache

You need to have stock recovery and stock (unmodified) ROM.

RUU updates can only be installed on locked/relocked bootloaders
OTA updates need root removed
Whats the status of your bootloader?
You on stock recovery?
Either way, you can get updates just not the way your trying.

re-lock the bootloader.. flash stock recovery..
wipe data/cache.. reboot..

1. Charge your phone before flashing anything.
2. Lock/relock your bootloader
3. Install a RUU
Sure you will lose your apps, but you will get a proper update, some people have reported slowdowns from the OTA.

What's your phones OS version?
Ie. 1.29.401.11

A RUU is basically just a windows installer that you run on your PC, but it installs and updates your phone. - its very simple.
We need your OS version to see what RUU you need.

Here is your RUU > http://db.tt/eYSlILnf
Listen carefully.
Charge your phone, FULLY - I don't want another user who runs into problems because of low battery.
Lock your bootloader if its unlocked. (Important)
Enter fastboot on your phone (hold power & volume down until your bootloader shows - then enter fastboot, you use then power button to select fastboot whilst in the bootloader screen)
Plug official USB cable from phone into PC.
It should now say fastboot USB on your phone.
Double click the RUU on your PC to install it.
Done.
-----
you will lose all your apps and you will need to install them again from the play store, but its recommended.

Awesome worked 100% thanks

Your welcome, (I'll probably receive another warning from dropbox now for sharing too much data again)
This is the latest OS for the phone, running android 4.0.4
You will now have silky home screen smoothness.
You can fix that dreaded 3button menu at the bottom (settings, display/gestures)
Better battery
Better optimisations with CPU/GPU
Updated bootloader
Plus more.
Enjoy.
Edit: thanks for following simple instructions, you'd be surprised how many people can't and run into all sorts of problems.

Hi Chris,
I have rooted my phone once but didn't install any custom rom, I had installed superuser type of applications to install few things but I kept continuing on stock ROM.
After re locking it again do I still need to put RUU on myphone to get this update?
My OS version is 1.29.720.11, do you know from where I can find RUU for this.
Well, I have re locked my phone but still the update is not getting installed, it come to option screen (where we have fastboot and all other options) everytime I reboot and from there it goes no where and I have simply reboot it to come out of it.
Can you please help?
Cheers mate.

HTC One X Walkthrough anyone?

First and foremost, please know that I have searched and searched again for hours and really have exhausted what in my opinion is my skill level for the rooting process. Previously hacked a PSP but that seemed easier than this.
I have tried the one click method and I have tried the HTCDev method. Both to no avail. I've run the .bat, I've tried the cmd cd Download cd OneXRoot... I couldn't get the One click .exe to run on my Windows XP even after installing .net framework. Can anyone help? I will divulge phone software versions, firmware etc if anyone decides to help me... And please only comment if you can specifically help... No trolls, no haters, no unconstructive comments.
Sorry for the noobism...
Thank you.

hi , try using this it should be what you need if you are going to flash custom rom's go to htc dev to unlock bootloader thats the first and foremost thing you need to do . Htcdev is just to unlock your bootloader and nothing else
http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
if i helped you say thanks =)

What issue are you currently having with 'HTCDev'? Did you successfully unlock the bootloader?

Try checking this post out:

Also, check this out, more specifically:

Hope that helps

I promise you all those methods do not work. I tried to run the root.bat access denied. I tried the one where you open up cmd and type cd Download, access denied... Finally I tried One Click but the .exe wouldn't open due to wrong .net framework, which I then downloaded but I was told by XP was not able to install 4.0.3...
Obviously I am going to need a work around on this but like I say One Click is no good for me... I'm going to reply again with my phone's info... I'm guessing the cmd way will be best to eventually get to work for me...

have a careful read through this, this is the most complete guide for rooting manually, if you don't want to backup to start with you can go straight for unlocking your bootloader (after that to installing the recovery, then to installing the rom )

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Hi mate, firstly u need to install the SDK etc,
Then you unlock your bootloader
Then you can install the custom recovery
Then you need to install the super user app (or SU etc) This will give your rom Root privileges (i.e you can install mods etc) This is not installing a custom rom
If you want to install a custom rom you can skip the step above as all custom roms have these root privileges.
Download your rom and stick it on your SD card
Make a backup through the custom recovery (you can revert back to stock if things go tits up)
Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img via fastboot commands (or use a fastboot kit if one is supplied with the rom)
Go into recovery, flash your rom and reboot
The above is just summarizing whats on the guide I gave you so you should know what order you need to do things and where to look on the guide

If I do this and unlock the bootloader**** sorry predictive text!

[Q] can access bootloader, but there's a problem.

so, someone is selling a bricked or possibly soft bricked phone, the dude said that he was trying to unroot it and some how while he was s-on he ended up deleting the os. he says it boots to the bootloader and everything and he says that while he tries to sideload something it fails... is the phone bricked for good? or there's hope?
thanks in advance!

Collect some more answers prior to buying. But I would say as long as the display comes up and bootloader shows there is hope.
Fails while sideloading sometimes doesn't mean anything, as he has to sideload a ROM.zip while a backup would fail.

I just wanted to say that maybe I'm wrong and some others should confirm what I'm saying .
But from what I learned you could re-flash TWRP in this state and first flash a custom ROM such as ViperOne using adb sideload to get it up and running. From this point one could then revert to stock using the correct backup.
Would be interesting if the
fastboot getvar all
command comes up with the version-main and which cid and mid this One M8 has.

Ask him to buy a sdcard and put a ROM.zip on it then put it in his M8.
Then boot to recovery to install ROM (he deleted his OS so I believe the custom recovery still there)

I'm gonna ask him if he can get into the recovery and see if he has a custom one. Because if he does I'm sure I could just put a SD in there and get a nice m8 for about 220.

Ask him whether he installed a GPE ROM before ... I've seen many have problem when trying to unroot or back to Sense from a GPE.
Get the fastboot getvar all info from him. If his device is on bootloader/fastboot then he should be able to run this command. If he can have this info, then it just a soft brick.
Gotta go now ...

He doesn't know how to do "fastboot getvar all" then how can he said he was unable to install a recovery ?
I still believe, nothing is wrong with his M8, other than OS was deleted with a custom recovery ... a simple fix by placing a ROM.zip on external sdcard will fix it.
Can he get a screenshot/a pic of the bootloader ?

he says a friend is the one that helped him with all that, i think what im going to do is drive up there with a laptop and try to see if i can get the command through. so as long as i get fastboot getvar all i should be good to go.
by the sounds of it, he doesnt have a custom recovery, he says they tried installing it and failed, also he said something about uploading a rom (sideload i think?) and also failed. well see when i get my hands on it probably this Monday.
