Hello folks!
Please excuse my very basic questions here. I've never worked with HTCs before, but this one just came along my way.
First of all, this is about a HTC One XL. It's not an AT&T model (it's from Germany, in fact), but the only XL forum I could find here on XDA that was related to the XL was the AT&T XL forum. So I hope I'm at least posting in the right forum here?
So I got a One XL today which has what seems to me like a hardware problem - it does not recognize the sim and it's the first time I'm holding a HTC in my hands.
It's still under warranty, but before sending it in, I will have to make sure no one fiddled with it. That would have the warranty void and create costs just to get the phone back from service.
What I'd like to do - 1. Reflash the phone with stock firmware, just to make sure it has nothing to do with a weird software problem
2. Check whether the bootloader has been unlocked since I guess that would void the varranty too? If that's the case I would of course want to relock it before sending it in.
So how do you guys flash HTCs? Flashtool? Fastboot?
Also, I wasn't able to connect to HTC Sync Manager, even though the drivers seem to be installed correctly, the phone detected the connection and switched to USB debugging...but nothing...
Thank you very much for your help :victory:

Sorry but no - this is definitely the wrong forum! This is for the HTC One X which is a quad core Tegra 3 device only capable of 3g. Yours is an XL which will be a dual core Qualcomm device for LTE.
Your best bet is to go back over to the HTC One XL forum. I realise it only refers to American variants but that device has the same hardware as yours.

Thanks, I just read up a little bit and realized what you just said: It's running on a different chipset.
If a mod could move the thread, I'd be really thankful.
At the same time, I don't think that the questions I have just asked are chipset specific.

To check if the phone has ever been "tampered" with.
1) Ensure the Fast Boot mode in Settings > Power > Fast boot is OFF.
2) Switch off the phone
3) Power the phone on while holding the volume down button.
If the top it says "Locked" then it has never had its bootloader unlocked. If it says "Relocked" then it has been unlocked in the past. If it says "Unlocked"... you get the idea

Awesome! That's the info I needed.
So the HTCs come with a recovery, nice!
It's "Locked" so that's very good news for me
Now I just gotta find out how to flash it and/or why in the world it won't connect to HTC Sync Manager.
Thanks again! :good:

No worries. But if you are "Locked" then all you need to do is go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Reset phone.
You won't be able to flash anything if it's locked anyway. Job done!
Edit: On a side note, the chassis for the SIM card holder on phone is a bit temperamental. My old SIM card which worked in every phone I tested on often booted to say "No SIM". I ordered a brand new SIM and it's worked well since.
You also have to hope the issue isn't related to the IMEI being barred and hence you are not allowed to register on any networks.

I actually tried different sims. I always have some at hand since I saved all the ones that I have collected while travelling...
It doesn't often say No SIM, it does never detect a SIM.
I'm not sure, but I'd guess I'd get a different error if the IMEI was barred.
Done a reset earlier today, it didn't change anything. But if the bootloader has to be unlocked to flash, then I can be sure this has not been done before. Peace of mind when sending in the phone to service
It seems to be a great device by the way.

Hi. Can a T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 (US version) which was stupidly flashed with a SPRINT CDMA ROM be brought back to GSM by reflashing it with a GSM flash ROM file using a PC running Windows? If so, where can I obtain the flash ROM file from, as well as the utility to flashing it back with.
PS: HTC Techs wouldn't help me except telling me to send it in so they can charge me more than I already paid for this phone already. Thanks in advance for helping or trying to help.

Well, my "know-it-all" buddy who's had great success with tinkering & flashing my other phones, B-R-I-C-K-E-D this one. Now he and I have been through the gamut on trying to reset this TP2 with the problems listed in another thread here using forum members' suggestions as well as the resetting tips for this model found on HTC.com with no success. So I had a thought in my sleep. Maybe, just maybe, I can reflash it?
Symptoms: There is no screen on this phone now. My PC tries to recognize it for about 1 minute or two, after it displays it's hardware signature in Device Manager 2-3 minutes showing up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation point under "Other Devices", then, the phone's hardware signature disappears from my hardware list in Windows 7's Device Manager listing. It didn't do that before.

You should be able to connect the USB, go into bootloader mode, and then run update the ROM. You should probably run task29 first to clear the memory. If you can't get the USB to work, you can flash from your SD card. Check the first several posts of the ROM forum, rather than this GENERAL forum.
find an official T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 rom and flash it.
and if your device has hard-spl then you can flash any full gsm rom.
some roms here

Nope no good. These tips all expect some sort of interactivity between the use & the phone present like being able to go into bootloader mode or expecting something visual on the screen. My TP2 doesn't do anything after flashing it with the CDMA process (provided by the Rhodium.htc-unlocks.com website), except turn on the little orange LED ever couple of minutes until the battery just dies out.
You now have a nice paper weight or brick. Flashing a cdma radio and/or bootloader/unlocker is NOT reversible. If you had only flashed a cdma rom then that could have been reversed.

If you cant get into bootloader I'm almost certain that means the phone's bricked. I realize that's likely not the information you want to here but you need at least a FEW things working on the thing to be able to flash it to a different rom. Bootloader being one of them.
If you cant get into bootloader mode,then i dont currently know any other way of reviving the device at home.sorry.

RMA usually it's totally free you only have to pay to send in the phone. I know cause I did the same thing kind of... I flashed a GSM rom on a CDMA phone and totally bricked it. My phone connection led didn't light up when connected. Then I call HTC, they sent me to call another company that handles US Cellular and got it RMA paid only shipping.
If your led connection lights up there might be a possibility you can flash your stock rom with a clean Micro SD Card. Just search for this method on the forums, it has been a working life saver to many.

The only thing that might work is to go back over the the CDMA forum and find out how the CDMA version invokes the bootloader. Maybe it is different than the GSM version? If you can't get to bootloader you are in trouble.

Bear in mind that (I believe) the OP said he Hard-SPL'd the device. I've seen numerous tales on here, of HTC declining to repair under warranty in those cases, citing 'Illegal software'. They usually then quote a couple of hundred dollars to change the motherboard, or a fee to return the phone unrepaired (the fee is their charge for the diagnostics).
I have the same error. Any new guess? In my country there aren't HTC repair stores
hi all:
anyone here know how to reboot the tmobile tp2 after I think I brick it? probably flash with wrong rom. now the phone will not turn off. stuck at "stick together".

I was reviewing HBOOT menu on my HTC Desire. I clicked SIMLOCK option and received the following message:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMMC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
What is the process done above? Did this process modify anything on my phone? What exactly SIMLOCK does?
Thanks.
You wasn't reviewing then, you was messing around and potentially buggering your phone up!
Simlock is where your phone will only accept one networks Sim card. It didn't find the files needed so doesn't seem to have done anything though.
Here's a tip - don't mess if you don't know what you are doing.

Ok guys, I shall stay away from this part of the phone
What I understand is that Simlock option tries to modifyp the phone's Simlock status with some files in MMC and CID file (custom created in most of the cases to unlock the phone etc.). Since there is no such file found in MMC, this process did not modify/delete anything in my phone. Is this the case?

Thats what it appears to have done yes.
Thanks for the advise.
With the proper files in place this should allow us to lock our phones to our specific SIM?
Well no to a specific carrier which is more of an option for operators to lock a device than for you I believe
And to those who blamed op for playing around seriously it is not much you can do on the phone or bootloader for that matter as long as it is stock it is not like HTC provides you with the option to manage anything apart from flashing stock roms
ok... i did the same foolishness...and got the same reply on my phone... bt i guess it did manage to lock it... not totally though... coz when i switch sim cards... and turn on the data connection on my phone ... my phone hangs up... bt when i dont have the data connection switched on.. it wroks well... and when i put that sim which i waS Using while pressed the sim lock button... it works well and fine .. even with the data connection on.... you can read the threads i've posted reguarding this here

thank i have dne the same think
any solution to this problem??
I did same thing today and thought my phone would be a brick, lucky me.
Luckily it always fails. I managed to accidentally hit it once too. It is too easy to start it imho. Slight drop in concentration and there you go, you bricked your phone.

I doubt this causes your phone to brick. I tried it also with my Wildfire. It could not find the required files and just rebooted. My guess is it doesn't matter if you select it by accident.

agree with you did the same no probs
I'm guessing it'll allow all SIM's including AT&T etc but Not one Single person on the XDA forums seems to know how to use AT&T on our HTC's.
They support the 1900Mhz GSM band but it's "LOCKED" so you can't get voice or data period.
Is there a legitimate way to Carrier unlock HTC Phones?
I have my specific IMEI unlock code to get it to work supposedly but no one has any idea how.............

Hello guys!
First and foremost, I'm new to the forum as well as an Android noob (switched from Iphone 5 half a year ago). I have never rooted my phone nor have I flashed a custom ROM before. I have a 32 GB HTC One M9 from Verizon on stock Lollipop Android, and it has been working perfectly until this morning. I woke up to my M9 stuck in a bootloop. It would boot to the HTC logo, stay there for about 10 sec, then go black and constantly restart again (even as I type this). I can access the bootloader, but it seems none of the options work for me! I can't boot to recovery mode or even power off my phone. It just constantly boots again by itself. I've emailed HTC support and hope to hear from them soon, but I figured why not ask a respected forum as well. I've read up on similar issues from other people, but it seems none of their solutions work for me as I cannot access recovery or even do a hard reset! Any help is appreciated! I want to be able to use my phone ASAP!

HTC One M9 Sprint, stuck in boot loop
I just checked the Dead NAND post in the FAQ... matches my issue too.
Q17: My phone is completely stock and started bootlooping during normal usage. Now I can only enter the Bootloader since I face booting errors as soon as I try to enter the Download Mode or the Stock Recovery. How can I fix this problem?
A: This seems to be another symptom of the NAND death (c.f. the black download mode error screen in Q8). So far, it's not fixable without HTC's help. In other words: You need to send your phone to HTC's repair service if you want to keep it.
I just bought a factory unlocked htc one m9 and plugged the sim card in.
After cache partition wipes, two hour-long customer support calls, a factory reset, and a bottle of Tylenol, nothing happened.
(Okay, I'm joking about the Tylenol.)
The big issues are that the only mobile network operator detected in settings is AT&T, and that I can not change any APN settings (though they are T-mobile anyway, so that shouldn't matter.)
The T-mobile rep and I both checked, and the phone IS compatible with the t-mobile data bands in my area, so there is no physical reason that it shouldn't work.
Any help with this would be massively appreciated!

Now that you've restarted, try going into the network settings and manually choosing T-Mobile.
(Settings, Mobile Data, Network operators, search for networks)
It doesn't find anything other than AT&T.
I'm guessing that choosing the automatic option dues any good.
My next move would be to redo the setup process.... probably by resetting the phone. I'm off to Google the issue and see if anything comes up.
[EDIT] Before you do that, double check that your network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Anything else will (artificially) limit you to 2G or 3G [/EDIT]
[EDIT #2] T-Mobile has the APN information for manual input. It may be worth trying to create a new APN profile to see if that makes a difference [/EDIT]
I tried both of those. Now I'm having issues even just connecting it to my computer over USB. (HTC site says there's a software update that I think might help, but the phone isnt detecting it)

Ah. Probably worth applying the latest RUU. The executable is here - best to install it with your phone connected to your computer in download mode. Alternatively, you can use the SD card method, though you'll have to search around for the Android 7 Rui zip file.

I think I'm going to have to use the SD card method - the m9 keeps disconnecting randomly over usb and if that happens during the install.... I'd really like to not brick the phone.
I've been looking around all over google and can't seem to find a .zip for the update, I found one in a thread on here (still can't link things yet, under ten posts) but the download site said file not found.
In addition, do I need to use S-Off before trying the update? In some of the forums that was mentioned but I think it was for a different version of the phone. HTC has the update files and doesn't say anything about it, but it also doesn't say anything about updating over SD card.

Head on over to the General forum and check out the thread by Flippy498 about stock ROMs. It should be a few posts in, but the zip file is linked!
For anyone else having this type of issue - even though they're all unlocked, some versions of the htc one m9 (potentially other phones by HTC as well) are produced in different regions. The Taiwanese version does not have band 12, and others potentially lack other bands.

Oh dear. I assumed that you were referring to the unlocked version sold directly from HTC, as opposed to a branded M9 (produced for a specific carrier & region) that had subsequently sim-unlocked.

Nope! I'm trying to unlock the lte bands before using S-off (just because it doesn't seem like anyone's tried it yet.) I'll post results as soon as I finish trying, but it's slow-going.
Dear Community,
My HTC10 is apparently dead but I trust that someone could have a great idea.
How it happened:
1st my config
- S Off
- Unlocked BL
- Running custom Rom - MHD latest version
- Custom kernel from tbalden
So the phone was at 65% of battery.
I rebooted in download mode to check some info (CID and version Mailly).
Then selected System Reboot.
It rebooted fine but then it became impossible to type in my pin code.
So tried to reboot with hardware combination... No sucess...
Then pressed and hold vol up + power for a while then the button at the bottom of the screen blinked 5 times then nothing.
Now it is not responding at all and even when I plug it to charger the led remains off.
I have also tried adb devices from pc... No success

Any advises or recommended testing méthod ?

If it's not booting to any mode with all button configurations than we can't suggest or do anything.
Let it charge with the wallcharger for a while and try to power it up, connect the phone to a laptop and try to power it up with various button combinations.
See if the phone is in the devices list of the laptop/pc when you connect it, if you see a Qualcomm device it's probably bricked.

Hold the volume down and Power together until it reboots.

Like that wasnt suggested in my post
Thanks Guys !
I have tried this but no success...
I am now trying to apply another possible solution as I read somewhere that if I am still able to see my device (even if it is the qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 plugged in my PC)... Then still chances exists to revive it.
But I still have to dig down this website (http://www.androidbrick.com/kategori/teknik-unbrick/)
I any of you here have reach this success a good experience sharing is more than welcome
BTW : HAPPY NEW YEAR
Can you reboot into TWRP? Re-flash from SD card.

No he can't ..... if it would only be that simple
Still no success so far...
I will continue to keep you updated (as it could help others within the same situation).
I have joined a team project from another community to work on the QFIL reflashing using qualcom tools.
But seems difficult as HTC are less open than LG or others manufacturer.
Anyway... Happy New year to you all
Hi community,
I have contacted HTC support and sent them my device, their diagnosis was a mainboard issue.
They have swapped the motherboard and sent it back.
I am sooooo happy.[emoji16]
They have also changed the entire screen...
So pleased with HTC support.
Very happy customer

Glad to hear this story coming to a happy ending.
The 10 is still a wonder device!

It still is a wonderful device.
Now I have to redo all steps to Unlock BL/Root/S-Off...etc..as I am back to 100% pure stock.
But first... Reading activities as these steps have been done like 1.5 year ago and do not remember exactly what to be done in which order.
Currently my system notification is pushing me to update to Oreo but I have read that it is preferable to root and other while in N as in O it will not be possible (yet).
Thanks for your support

I can't empirically speak for unlocking the bootloader Oreo since I already unlocked it a long time ago but, unless the process has changed on htc's site, it's still the same.
I can't speak for S-Off; read the Sunshine docs; I can't imagine that changing either. (My _opinion_ is that if one doesn't have a specific need for S-Off, then one only gains the risk of bricking the device, as evidenced by the numerous, redundant oopsie threads that would have been prevented by remaining S-On. This is why htc has S-On.)
I can say from experience that installing TWRP, Magisk, rooting all work the same post-Oreo update. (RUU Nougat, accept OTA/update apps, FDR, follow TWRP/Magisk instructions, install F-Droid/AdAway, clear Dalvik//cache, install everything else, profit). Give battery estimations a few days to get more accurate before thinking, "Oreo battery sucks!". The FDR and clearing caches is necessary to remedy bugginess and sluggishness, which would have also averted the numerous "my phone doesn't work right/is slow" posts.

Thanks for feedback,
One of my aim is also to change CID (as it came back with the carrier one ORANG219, and I would prefer to 11111111 or HTC__001
But you are right S-Off could be risky if further actions are not made with caution
