It all goes like this - I wanted to root my WPS to solve space problem, although, there was a solution for it without rooting, I figured I will be wanting to use some apps that need root access and some roms sooner or later.
So I did a search and found few ways to root my phone. Being a lazy ass I decided to use "the simple" one click solutions - gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) or Root Unlocker (http://www.unlockroot.com/) This was no success. Gingerbreak kept rooting when I launched the app, but Root Unlocker displayed " FAIL TO GET SHELL ROOT". I figured that problem with Gingerbeak might be that I updated the software to the latest version -
Then I went on and tried another tutorial(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275). Everything was fine till I selected Recovery from bootloader. It got stuck with white HTC logo. Took out the battery tried to use newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery, but still was a no-go. I also can't do a factory restart. I can't do it from bootloader or settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset. (But could do it at first. Before trying to root my device I did a factory reset once.)
Is there a way to use another Recovery (not CMR) or force Recovery from fastboot? As I found there are some other people that got stuck with similar problem.
Other problems:
My phone doesn't show up in HTC Sync. Althought, when I tipe adb devices in cmd, it shows up. I did turn my AntiVirus off when I installed HTC Sync, but it still didn't display my phone.
Here are my specs:
Model HTC Wildfire S A510e
It shows Marvel in bootloader.
Phone was S-OFF when I bought it.
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sence 2.1
Software number 2.26.401.3
I bought my phone without a contract from a local internet shop. I am from Baltics.
The phone might be somewhere from Europe.
My bet would be Poland. (guessing that manual language is Polish, but I might be wrong)
Thanks in advance.

This lame. I can't find delete. Thanks though.
Hello i have the tc one x and i have alot of problems. when i first bought the phone i rooted it and i was happy. i downloaded root apps and i was set. then i wanted to start flashing roms. so i downloaded a custom rom on my computer, followed all the instructions carefully and it did not work. i had installed clockworkmod and the whole 9 yards.When i would try to boot into recovery mode i would get a security warning and i was not allowed to. i tried many tutorials to install it on to my phone using my computer and command prompt and things like that but that did not work. So i came to the conclusion that i did not unlock my bootloader. so i went through the whole process on htcdev.com and my key was invalid. i had gotten the error 160 and mid not allowed. now i wanted to completely restore and unroot so i deleted superuser and the su files and did the whole thing with fastboot files and command prompt using a video to help me through it. When i was done my phone still said tampred on the bootloader and i got the same security warning error when i tried to restore the phone. so i cannot restore my phone to stock. now my phone cannot recieve att updates and when i try to manually update it is says htcdm has stopped and then after the button does nothing. and many apps stop unexspectedly and i am very upset about this. i have tried unrooting and unlocking bootloader at least 10 times now and nothing works!! PLEASE HELP!!! i really dont want do have to sell my phone and save up for a new one. thank you.

Yup.
First, your not clear with what you actually did.
IS your Phone the AT&T version? If YES, then this is the wrong forum.
Also all you need to do to get a custom ROM running is this.. (in the respective order ) -
1- Unlock using HTC. Your error is probably because you did not clearly read on how to copy the UID part. even one extra character here or there can generate an invalid key.
Follow the instructions to the letter.
2- Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery using fastboot.
3- Before flashing the ROM, from CWM, make a backup of the stock ROM, by going to Backup and Restore - Backup.
4- Wipe Date/Factory reset option in the recovery. Then Goto Mounts section and format /system.
5- Now flash your ROM from the sdcard.
6- PROFIT?
If you are not confident enough to follow each and every instruction to the letter, then flashing custom ROM's is not for you.
From your post i can clearly see that you find the whole process a little too cumbersome. I can be wrong. But please at least be clear what you exactly did. Which ROM did you try to flash? And how did you go back to stock? Which RUU did you use? Was it the correct one?
If your HBOOT says ***LOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED*** then run an RUU and it will remove all warnings, and put your phone back to it's factory state.
how do you run an ruu

how do you run an ruu?
Boot into bootloader then go into fastboot and run the ruu that's all but sure thing before doing this u have to flash the stock recovery and kernel and lock bootloader
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
Just download one and run it, dead easy.
But he has to return the recovery and kernel and lock bootloader first
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
His post is so disjointed it's impossible to figure out the state of his bootloader (hence mentioning it), but you don't need to replace kernel and recovery, that's the point of the RUU.

OK that means you're good to go with the RUU if you want to return to stock and have everything working again.
Dude becareful if its saying security warning then your battery is very low,becareful because if the phone drains completely while using ruu the phone would get hard bricked also u can't select ruu you just have to go into fastboot
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
Ok. Stop.
Where did you get your phone? Is it quad or dual core? What is the model number written on the case?
Before you do more damage, let's figure out what device you have, which forum you need to ask questions in, and what procedures you need to follow.

Right, well, I'm not sure what you've done to it, but this is the wrong sub forum.
If it is an AT&T phone, htcdev won't work.
Best bet is to visit the ONE XL forum. And post what you problems you have, and then what you tried to do before arriving where you are now.
Word of advice, your first post in this thread was awful. It's too long, too confusing and unreadable. Try to cut out as much as you can. I don't care how many yards, that you got instructions from a video, and that the video was hosted on YouTube. Just list what you did to the phone. Use spaces (including vertical spaces), punctuation and bullet points to good effect. End of the day, you want as wide an audience as possible.
Good luck.
Hi, I've got a Desire HD phone which I got unlocked and unbranded from the start and it came with some version of Froyo out of the box. Since then I've updated it through via wifi and currently it's on GB 2.3.5 and after the last update the phone has been telling me that it has no updates available. Furthermore, I have never flashed or rooted this phone so it's still a virgin
Further information on my phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.707.4
AND some pics of the specs are in the attachment, please check them out.
Now due to some performance issues I wanted to reinstall either 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo available for my phone. I have already tried restarting, taking out the battery, doing factory reset, wiping the phone and sdcard both from within the phone settings and from the HBoot and Recovery menu as well to no avail.
So I would like to ask you guys for steps and possible links to correct RUU for re-flashing the stock version of unbranded 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo. I don't want to mess with the phone too much by going into the rooting and installing custom ROMS just yet, but that would be my last resort if all else fails.
I'm a newbie so please be gentle in replies
Thanks in advance!
STOP STOP STOP DONT DO ANYTHING!
don't flash any froyo ruu or wwe this will mess your hboot and you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
If you've done a factory reset you shouldn't be having performance issues as that takes you back to factory condition of course.
How ever
Your first course of action now should be goto market and get emmc checker and see if you have the bad chips (sain I think).
If you dont have issue I suggest you do HTCDEV unlock and root your phone or flash a new rom, ive only used SVHD which is ics sense rom which is pretty damn awesome, but im moved on to samsung galaxy s4 (unrooted) now so haven't used newest version yet.
Have a look around the dev forum there are a few really good guides .
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I recommend getting s-off and unlocking the HBoot to get the best performance from your phone. I must say that this is not for the faint-of-heart and things sometimes can and do go wrong .
I bought a second hand Desire HD running stock Telus GB for very little money so I didn't have much to lose if I pooched the phone. If you do decide to unlock the HBoot, make sure you upgrade to 2.00.0029 first.
What performance issues were you having?

Ran that app and it says " Brick Bug? NO. Sane Chip "
So I'm guessing my phone is good, right?
I've been having some major bugs popping up on my phone ever since I upgraded to the 2.3.5 update. My phone camera gets stuck while taking pictures, at times it has restarted my phone when I take a picture, the GPS/Location keeps popping up at every boot and I can't seem to disable it, the Connect To Computer message which used to let me select in which mode I want to connect my phone to the PC has stopped showing up and the phone only connects in charging mode to the PC, the speaker phone keeps turning itself on whenever I make a call or receive a call. I've read up on all these bugs on many forums and tried all the solutions to no avail, I have already done factory resets, battery pulls, cleaning of the usb connector, tried different usb cables on different computers, formatted the memory card etc, but none of these things worked for me.
So I'm left with one choice only, that is to erase everything on this phone and flash a fresh ROM onto it to see if it fixes the issue. And just to be on the safe side I want to install anything lower than 2.3.5 since that's when all these bugs popped up one by one for me. And I don't want to root my phone just yet or unlock it or do any experiments with it yet.
So my question is, how do I backup my current ROM in case if anything goes wrong I could revert back to this one and then how do I flash an official earlier version of GB compatible with my phone and where to get this ROM. Since my phone came unbranded and unlocked, I'm assuming the WWE versions would work well for me right? I once saw in my phone somewhere that it told me I have htc_asia_WWE version on my phone, if that helps. But I would rather get an English only version which has no other language settings in it, like chinese, vietnemese etc etc which my phone currently has.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38947050&postcount=10
Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

I did get a RUU which meets my specs exactly, or so I think:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234022_signed.exe
I ran it, updated my phone, it's the same version which is already on my phone, it completed without any issues, but the bugs are still there. So I'm assuming it didn't really reinstall the software from scratch, it just updated the software without making much changes to it, pretty much like a factory reset, right???
Can you please tell me why we need to unlock the HBoot??? Is it to enable us to flash custom roms???
What I want to do is erase the 2.3.5 GB software completely from my phone so it has no trace of it, then install stock/untouched 2.3.3 GB or any other GB version compatible with my phone. So please provide steps and insight into this process.
Thanks

Updated and unlocked my Hboot and now it's on 29 with S-Off.
I flashed CWM recovery, installed SuperUser and flashed the latest version of SVHD and rebooted but phone won't start, after the HTC logo with a white background, the screen goes black as if the ROM can't boot.
Could this be a SuperUser issue or a S-Off issue? I'm not sure if SVHD requires S-On to function properly and it's nowhere mentioned on the thread either.

Never mind your actually s-off...
Did you do full wipe before flash?
Apparently you really should be using 4ext recovery on dhd as clockwork doesnt quite do the job right?.

Flash 4ext, wipe everything and reflash 1.7.0, and then update to 1.7.3.CWM never wiped my partitions properly, it blows compared to 4ext.
Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and I Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!

Thank you for your input, but I already done that which resulted no success for me. The only way for me to overcome these black screens was by flashing:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This makes my device fully functional again but it just leaves me locked on ICS because when do the OTA updates, Flash JB ruu's or even flash custom JB roms I just get stuck on bootloops. I don't seem to get one JB version of android working on my device. Thats why I'm here seeking for help from geniuses like yourself. At the moment my device is back on android 4.0.4 but thats about it. It works perfectly fine on this version but I just can't update no matter what way I try I end up in a bootloop
so you have a stock recovery now? and receive ota notifications?
Yes

Yes I do and if I proceed with the update it will install without any problems but once it reboots it will be stuck in a bootloop. I ended up returning back to ICS and ignoring the update prompts when get told to update my software.
here you can see the update notification I recieve:

you could try installing the update and if it bootloops go into the bootloader, vol down and power, and do a factory reset from there
alright

I'm curious why you first chose an asian ruu for your first attempt and then got the european ruu. there is another ruu available but I need you to answer the above first.
I have to go to work now so I won't be able to answer you, there is another ruu available for version number, it's the 18th one down the list, release 974956 http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor

Lock you are S-OFF try fastboot writecid HTC__032 i think is something like this and see what will happend after applay update. Or try manualy update with this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe after changeing the CID
The other way is manualy update your hboot to high version! Download from here firmware .zip for region 401 hboot1.31 and see what will happend

I flashed the asian ruu first because my CID used to be HTC__621 which requires TW ruu's (I tried the JB one) also on the back of my device it says made in Taiwan. But after flashing the rom it didn't work and put me in a bootloop so I changed my CID to 11111111 and flashed the European ruu ( I tried the JB one) which also didn't work and ended up putting me in a bootloop. It was my friends father who then changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the European ICS ruu which worked flawlessly. Do think I should flash the ruu you recommended? because its a ICS ruu and I'm trying to get to JB. Anyway I really thank you for trying to help me, you are the only one who replied to me
Look at this image it shows you that my device was made in Taiwan

Actually @Thant replied also, try what he suggests at the bottom of his post to update your hboot, it's a different one to the one you tried, then try a higher ruu
I am wondering why everyone, OP and those attempting to assist, are assuming that what is apparently a prototype model of the One X would even be compatible with the updates.
If it is a prototype, regardless of how it identifies itself, it may have differences that simply prevent ANY of these software versions from operating.
I think that is one possibility the OP may have to be prepared for.

Maybe you are right he must to prepear and know the chance to broke his OneX is big because is prototype.

That had crossed my mind actually, but he is receiving ota notifications and the results he posted from "getvar all" indicate everything is as it should be, same model number even.
I have come across an early prototype before and the only 2 differences were the casing and slightly larger headphone jack socket. AFAIK the hardware was the same. Unfortunately, the one I saw wasn't working so I don't know what version of android it had

No more RUU only stock rom or nandroid. You never find that RUU because HTC never release this RUU.

Ah, I see. Manual flashing stock rom is still ok anyway.

I have Htc one x Prototype only ics no custom recovery no jb
hi, i have a htc one x protoype(engineer model) i have tried many times to install custom recovery and jb ruu but result is always same. bootloop and black screen. is someone can help. i know only xda members can help. so plz
Try to keep this as short as possible. Got 2 New in box HTC One m9s from ebay.
First one white came with unbranded android 6. It wants to OTA update but always fails. From about info it is a 617 variant. We will lets this ride for a bit...
Second one is the real problem. It came with 5.1 and wanted to OTA update but the update crashed phone, only rebooting to download mode. The only official HTC RUU that worked to restore it was the android 6 ATT Cingular US RUU. It now thinks it is a 502 variant.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev. It reports status: Modified / unlocked / s-on. Not sure why the modified if was the official RUU from HTC download page.
I would like to have a unbranded android 7 as AOSP as possible. But possible due to security KEY changes by htc between versions. I can not get any RUU or zip file on SDcard to install.
I have read and read before posting. The TWRP section here says the info is out of date and could cause a boot loop. The wrong SuperSU can cause a boot loop.
Where/What info can I use to get this phone into shape at this point in time?
Update. I "got some guts" and went ahead with the TWRP install per the READ ME thread and that worked.
I installed a newer (recommended) SuperSU and that boot looped the phone.
So I picked a GSM (ATT) android 7 sense 8 rom and wiped and installed. Almost 20 minutes later the loops stopped and BINGO! working phone.
Installed the SuperSU and that worked.
Current state is unlocked, S-ON any reason to SUNSHINE for S-off at this point?
Do not like the ATT stuff. So the new question is: What is the most AOSP unbranded ROM you might recommend to me?
Thanks!
FYI: I used to hang out here a lot in the HTC fuze days.
The most vanilla rom here would be LOS 15.1 and LOS 16.
The Lineage builds are the offspring of Cyanogenmod.
Both threads are in the original development section, and both are under development.
Take a look.....and happy flashing....g
