Hi guys,
Please help !
I've bought a new phone, htc one x, from someone. barely had time to install few apps, and got this OTA update message.
Without thinking twice - i did it. But it seems that the phone was rooted ! and as I understand now - it's a big no-no .
I've tried to figure out from the forum what to do , but - all the answers seems to include fastboot and ADB, which in turn require
the drivers of the phone to be installed. But my phone is dead ! so I can' t do it.
I'm new to roms and all, and I really need your help .
How can I make my phone work again ? I don't care which ROM , custom or stock , just to make it work .
Any help will be appreciated.
Gena
You can access Fastboot? Hold POWER and VOLUMEN - (down)..?

Hi , yes, I can access the fast boot, but even trying to restore to factory defaults didn't help.
And I can't istall the fastboot on my pc since it needs to connect to a working phone in debug mode (if I understand correctly)
Google Fastboot files
And place them on your pc..for example
On desktop..
C:\Users\Name\Desktop\
and next step go in that directory via CMD typr this
cd C:\Users\Name\Desktop\Fastboot\
And type this
Fastboot getvar cid
Then you will se your CID
go this thread and follow steps to recover your phone

Thank you very much for your help.
I've did the steps as you say, and finally was able to "see" my phone in fastboot from PC.
but the CID I am getting is 11111111 , and there is no backup that matches it.
Can I overwrite it with some kind of rom ? I don't care to loose all the data, just to get a working phone.
Download clockwordmod recovery img file And flash it via Fastboot..
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
And then download this file:
Link!
And then access in recovery mount storage and copy that .zip file on your phone Clear and wipe everything except battery stats..And then flash that .zip file

He can't install OTA from recovery and you can't install OTA from recovery!!!!
Hi Thant, thank you for your help.
So you are saying that big noob's method won't work ?
I've downloaded the RUU, but I did not understand what you've meant by : "lock the bootloader" and when should I post the results of "fastboot getvar all" ? after I run the RUU , or before ?
You should post it before RUU..Well i tryed my method before and .zip flashed successfully..
And you can relock it with this command:
fastboot oem lock
Here's what I've got, no what should I do with it ?

You can relock your bootloader download RUU and run it as administrator
I tried to relock , but it said phone is already locked.
Then I ran RUU and got the following error :
ERROR [159] - The ROM update utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again .
But what is the correct for me ? and where do I get it ?

Try this one
And when you in bootloader what is writen up RELOCKED and ENDEAVORU XE or ENDEAVORU PVT
98552432 231
In the bootloader it says :
*** LOCKED *****
ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL

ENDEAVORU XE have problems with update you must manually update the firmware and after this to install RUU or custom rom.
Download THIS OTA open the zip and extract firmware.zip to your fastboot folder after this do this
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot you will see HTC logo
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.
I want to thank you for your patience with a noob like me
I did everything till the last line.
After flashboot reboot, my phone passed the first htc logo that it was stuck on , but now it's stuck on htc one screen (the one with beats audio logo at the bottom) .
Do I need to do the flash custom rom recovery ?

yes now flash custom recovery philz 5.15.x mount usb storage copy custom rom to the phone install and flash the boot.img and you will have working rom sense or no sense. Now after flash the firmware what is your hboot version 1.39? If yes you are ready to go
ok , just to make sure I understand before I do it a screw something up :
"yes now flash custom recovery philz 5.15.x mount usb storage copy custom rom to the phone install and flash the boot.img and you will have working rom sense or no sense. Now after flash the firmware what is your hboot version 1.39? If yes you are ready to go"
my hboot version is indeed 1.39
so I d/l philz custom recovery .
no I should :
fastboot flash zip philz_touch_6.07.9-endeavoru.zip
then go to the custom recovery ? (how ? ? ? )
then d/l some custom rom (any recomendations ? just a good stable one, possibly stock)
then copy it to phone using fastboot
and then , from custom recovery flash it ?
I'm sorry for all these questions, but I'm afraid to touch the damn thing already ))))
Flash the recovery (its a img file NOT a zip, take out the img if its in the zip)
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery by selecting FASTBOOT in the bootloader and then RECOVERY (navigate with the volume buttons and confirm with the power button)
Go to the mounts and storage menu and mount the sdcard as a mass storage disk (wait a few minutes until it pops up on the pc)
Copy the rom.zip to the sdcard. Take out the boot.img and flash it via fastboot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery again and perform a full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage-format cache, data and system
Install the rom.zip
Done !
Roms....just check the android dev section. Many roms to choose and read up for yourself. It's not that difficult ...maximus and arhd are very close to stock.
Thank you for the detailed reply !
When doing Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img I got the messege :
FAILED <remote : not allowed>
Is the problem that my phone is locked ? (written locked at the top of fastboot screen) tried to do fastboot oem unlock but getting "Command error !" .
I saw this solution : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/74316-a-solution-to-fastboot-flash-recovery-not-allowed-error/ , but I'm not sure it will fit my phone (as it talkes about a different one) and what is a PD98IMG.zip file ?

Flash cwm recovery 5.8.4.0 (if you don't have it already installed)
Download a ICS rom and copy the boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Put the phone in fastboot USB mode and flash the boot.img
Go into recovery and do full wipe EXCEPT Sd card ! Then mount sdcard as USB drive and Copy the rom.zip over to it
Flash the rom.zip from recovery and reboot
And stay away from the AT&T ROGERS FORUM that's for a different one x !
We have the ENDEAVORU type phone.....stay in this forum and don't flash anything from the other forum, you might brick the phone !
Thanks for the help

i found custom rom zip file. used this zip to flash the system and boot. camera and beats audio is not working with this rom.
can you provide the link for RRU 2.17.720.2 asia. so that i can update my mobile to official jelly bean released by HTC.
or provide me work around to update my phone to official jelly bean
Thanks.
You can check here, but i don't see it

But if you have the nandroid backup.....it's the same as a ruu !
You have to restore the whole nandroid and not just the system and boot.
You have to do a full wipe from recovery and flash the boot.img from the nandroid and then restore the complete nandroid in recovery ! It's exactly the same as a ruu except the stock recovery is not included so you have to flash that after you restored the nandroid !

These are steps followed to recovery my whole HTC one x normal state.
1. Flashed the boot and recovery images form 2.17.720.2 OTA.
2. oem lock
3. Downloaded the RUU 2.17.720.2 from file factory (for this u need primer account. just googled it). As my device main version is 2.17 for ur download the respective ones.
4. Ran the RUU when the mobile is in fastboot mode.
5. That's it my devices is recovered back to 2.17.720.2
6. Software update is done form about section. (with out any issue.)
these steps are simple but, to identify these i have done lot of searching and background work.
at last I did it.
thanks for members helped me and thanks for XDA.

yes if you find RUU everything will be stock but you can install nandroid backup with stock recovery and again you can receive the update. Read a little bit more before to start do anything to your phone. I see you are not advanced user and for this reason I write in RED the importhant line. Read more one two days and after this if you feal advanced start with flashing. The best way will be if you find the RUU for 2.17.720.2

Alright let's give it another shot. Lets start from the beginning and get us the output of :
Fastboot getvar all
Then we can proceed to get it back to stock (and maybe keep it that way)

Place the nandroid backup(3.34.661.4 which you can find in link provided for backups) inside TWRP Backup folder on your device. If the directory doesn't exist. Go into TWRP and make a backup of boot only to create the directory. If needed enable MTP to transfer files from PC to Device through TWRP Recovery.
Restore the nandroid backup.
Inside the firmware.zip in your adb folder you'll find the stock recovery.img for the device. Extract the recovery.img and place inside adb folder.

Since you are having trouble, I'll give you an alternative method. I'm on Telus as well, and use WWE firmware. It works with no issues.
First off, back up anything that is important to you, like photos and files, because this will wipe your phone's internal storage.
Go back to SuperCID.
Download this RUU zip.
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter)
Place it onto the root of your extSD (By root of I mean just on the card, not in a folder)
Boot into bootloader and choose hboot.
Follow the prompts (vol up to flash, power to reboot when finished) Have a beer, it'll take a few minutes.
After the flash, delete the file from your extSD, otherwise every time you boot into hboot, it'll try to update again.
Edit ....didnt refresh

You either put it on your internal SD instead of your external SD, or you renamed it incorrectly.

My HTC one M8 system UI keeps crashing every time i boot up the phone
How i got to this position
For some reason i was not able to download anything to the phone (yes, there was space available), so i decided to factory reset the phone. unfortunately that was no help. From there i decided to use twrp recovery to wipe everything, Me being a smart guy wiped everything, including the system ( and no i did not make a back up anything ). After got a hold of a mirco sd card and flashed a version of a htc one system file i found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 . I got the phone to boot up ( not booting up from before without a system), but the system UI keeps crashing every time i boot up the phone. Found a thread in xda with the same problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994, and the solution is to get a hold of the stock recovery (not sure if it will work for me). Finally i jump over to an other thead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376, saying i need to find out my cidnum. I used fast boot to get it and my version of cidnum is BS_US001 which i could not find on the list.
Long story short
Couldnt download on my phone
wiped my system by mistake (no backs)
flash android revolution hd version of kitkat
system ui keeps crashing
think stock recovery will fix it
getting a random cidnum is BS_US001 and am not sure which stock recovery to flash
Please help !!!!
thank you

I tried running the program twice, but it failed both times.
it couldnt update the system after erasing eveyrthing.
What error ?
If RUU is not an option for you
you also can fastboot flash the RUU in zip format.

Hie everyone i am new here and i have an htc one m8 which is bootloader locked , s on and i dont have root access nor custom recovery installed .
All other tutorials i found here are more so related to those htc m8 devices with either bootloader unlocked or custom recovery installed and since the device is stuck on decrypt storage page i cant install an RUU firmware exe i downloaded and also i cant install a custom firmware too .
i found a tutorial on how to unlock bootloader and did got my token id from fastboot since it is the only thing working so far and am stuck with the stock recovery so i cannot get into adb mode.
when flashing the unlock code bin file in fastboot it says successfully and the warning page also appears which prompts me to choose to unlock bootloader or not . and after selecting unlock bootloader the device restarts into recovery mode i which i thought i have to factory reset for the bootloader process to be complete but still after factory reset the device boots straight to the decrypt storage page and when i reboot again into fastboot mode the bootloader is still locked like nothing happened . tried all methods to unlock bootloader and not factory reset in hope of getting better results but still its the same problem . so if there is another solution that might help me to unlock my bootloader or flash custom recovery or force it to install my RUU exe firmware without debugging i would greatly appreciate it

The RUU.exe from your first post?
That will not work for you. That RUU is for AT&T devices. The only way you would be able to flash that would be if you were S-Off and changed you CID to 11111111 (or AT&T's CID)
Take the RUU.zip (6.12.401.4 ~ the 401 being the important part, that is the identifier for your model) and rename the .zip to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter). The best way to do rename would be to place it onto your extSD so you can see the .zip extension (it is sometimes hidden on your PC) and use a file explorer so you don't accidentally rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip.zip
Boot to bootloader after this is renamed and on extSD (formatted to FAT32), and you should be prompted to flash it by pressing vol up. When the flash is finished, you'll be prompted to press power to reboot, and you are done.
Hope this helps

Yeah, you can also flash it in fastboot from PC. You'll probably get an "Error 90". That's the hboot pre-update and nothing to worry about. When you get it don't disconnect, just enter the flash command (fastboot flash zip "name of firmware".zip) a second time to reflash it.

sadly i guess i have got a bigger problem than i thought , so i tried with pc using these commands fastboot oem rebootRUU and the devices reboots straight into normal mode , and i did also the extsd tutorial you gave me and the device checks the file and prompts me if i want to continue bt after pressing the vol up button the device reboots again straight into normal mode where i am having the decrypt storage issue .if only i had that usb debugging screen prompt again i guess i would have had better odds since before it failed it actually went into RUU flash mode showing only the htc logo with black background
thank you for the quick response by the way

You can turn on usb debugging in settings > developer options, but it shouldn't be needed for fastboot commands.
Try flashing this firmware.zip first, then run the RUU.zip again.

tried that last firmware zip but just want to confirm if i did the correct procedure ......
i downloaded this file you linked me : M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_TWRP2870.zip renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip , copied it to my sdcard and and rebooted into bootloader . i could see the checking progress bar but then it just doesnt give me the prompt screen for vol up to continue or vol down to cancel , its just saying press power to reboot.
then tried fastboot oem rebootRUU but the fone is just stubborn and reboots into normal mode again not in RUU mode so i cant flash the zip firmware with fastboot . Another thing i noticed is when i finish unlocking bootloader and gets the success message with continue to unlock bootloader screen and then phone reboots into recovery (stock recovery) there is a chain of errors like "cannot mount data , cannot mount emmc" too but when i repeat the bootloader unlock process again this time with an sdcard in device i get "no cw files in sdcard" message when it reboots into recovery but still the bootloader wont be unlocked despite of repeating the process several times. the phone is still brand new never opened and i think this is somehow software related for i was beginning to think that its hardware issue but an app cause this "device decrypt storage" after the phone rebooted
Any idea where i can get htc mtp device drivers as i have reinstalled my operating system and installed htc syn too but those are the only ones failling to install now am on 32bit windows os , the ones i have downloaded are not installing maybe if those install i might recieve an "allow usb debugging " screen as i did earlier on before the screen didnt want to show up again
do you have any idea what might cause device to reboot into os/normal mode when executing the fastboot reboot-bootloader same as fastboot oem rebootRUU the device quickly reboots and enter into normal mode and does not hold those command . also if have downloaded almost 17 unlockcode.bin files from htc dev i kept on requesting after the bootloader wont get unlocked , it shows unlockcode flashed successfully in command prompt but when device reboots the bootloader is still locked . i still love my htc m8 but it seems i am the only one in this enter forum who has this problem since other are successfully getting their devices fixed :crying::crying:
