Trying my hardest to flash my HTC One X back to stock in order to sell it, but am hitting brick walls (pun not intended) all over the place. I tried to install the RUU earlier, but it failed as the version I have is newer than the version it was installing, and with S-On seeminlgy it won't ignore that fact.
After this process failed, the phone has been stuck in a Hboot loop, no matter what i choose it reboots constantly to hboot. The phone is hardy gaining charge even powered by mains, and as such i have been unable to unlock the phone again as yet, is that something i need to do before i can get any further?
My current plan as explained by someone on here is to flash a nandroid backup of my CID at stock, but to do that i need to somehow get the display to turn off and let the phone charge, and hopefully escape this boot loop.
Any help appreciated, as soon as i plug the usb cable in, the phone turns on into hboot with the BRIGHT white background and all the options, so uses quite a lot of power / gets quite hot
Bootloader unlocked, flash this recovery asap !

Enter it and put the phone on charge. Leave it alone, it will charge the battery while the phone sits in the recovery.
If the bootloader is relocked you unlock it by flashing the unlock code.bin file which you got from the HTC dev site the first time (maybe it's still in your email)

usual story.
got an htc one x. flashed unlocked all going well. installed a bad rom (did not make a back up)
froze at splash screen. only late last night i found disaster recovery, so i put it to download and shut off the phone. boot back up this evening and tried to install recovery re-lock bootloader, clear cashe etc but. i got a low battery warning when trying to flash.
i didn't have the latest clockwork mod for charging installed; and battery is too low to flash to it.
this is where things get different. i used the boot loader to power down. i plugged it in to the wall to charge and i got this strange flashing red led(not orange) after about an hour it went solid red. had it charging from the wall socket for well over 4 hours now with the solid red led.
then all of a sudden the led starts to flash red again. so i disconnect the phone and try to boot.... nothing happens. try bootloader mode(power + vol.dwn) nothing.
i had to hold the two buttons then plug in the wall charger. then it went into bootloader. problem is it says relocked AND security warning....... and still after all that time charging. i still get low battery warning @ flash.
so i tried to turn off the device again using the power down option. two things happen here. 1)if the charger is in the screen goes black and instantly restarts to fastboot usb menu. 2)if it isnt in it will turn off and wont turn back on (splash screen or bootloader) until the charger is back in.
so what ive done as of now is plug it in to charge over night and hope this thread can shed some light.
additional info:
ruu version: 'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe
os version: 1.28.707.10
clockwork mod version: 5.8.2.7
plz any help would be invaluable
EDIT: just turned on phone about ten minutes after i plugged it back in to the charger (held power button alone) splash screen is back (yay!!) but still battery low when trying to flash in
fastboot usb. ima try in the morning after a full night to the charger. fingers crossed

srry posted last night but would not show the thread... so i figured i couldn't so i tried to post in an existing thread. now i dont know how to delete that other one...
FIXED
well never mind the fact that i loaded a plethora of info onto this post and nothing.
but besides that i got it working. in the disaster recovery tut it only lists using the ruu through a flash... never stating that you can just run the file directly and not go in %temp% and get the rom.zip(excepting for the recovery_signed.img). simply find your version of the ruu that you need, flash back to the stock recovery image (within the rom.zip) relock bootloader place device in fastboot and run from pc.
the only hard part is getting it to charge... dont know how mines took charge but i pluged it into the sockets @ my school (long story read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26156147&postcount=20).
when i pluged it in the light went solid red instantly no blinking. after about an hour of charge i pressed the power button and it went to the splash screen (still was on a older CWM which doesn't support charging) left it at the splash screen for the remainder of the class (about another hour) unplugged entered bootloader.
@ this point i had no security warning under relocked. but i used the power down option, took it home and tried to unlock/flash to the latest version of CWM so i could charge. it worked without a hinge.
anyone know why it took charge on an older CWM?
note i got the phone back up and running and the first thing i did was make a nandroid back up
hi i dont have an answer to your question but i have a question to your answer am curently suffering the same problem i can flash the stock cwm because of low battery, and i know when in boot mode it doesnt charge so i rebooted the phone it took me to the htc logo and its displaying a solid red light does this mean its charging or what (the boot loader is re-locked so i can flash stock cwm but cant due to low charge)
Noob badly. But I think it should be charging. Could b wrong. Leave it there for a couple of hours and try again. Mayb fixed. Give it time and try again.

Same thing is happening to my phone. and its bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked because of the charging. its usb debugging wasnt turned on either before it went down.
Please help anyone?
Guys I have Htc One X. I rooted it then I thought to install a custom rom (resurrection remix) and gapps. so when I was in the CWM recovery I installed the mod while it was installing it said error no file contents but it installed successfully anyway. after that I installed Gapps but it got an error and said Installation aborted. I then started panicking and I tried to restore the backup but nothing happened, then I re-locked the bootloader with battery below 30% then I used the batch file to charge it then I unlocked it again. Now I want to download a stock rom I tried 2 one was a newer version than what my phone actually is and the other one was a lower version than what my phone actually is. I then tried alooooooooooot to search for the appropriate one for my phone but I didn't find it so I thought to continue with installing custom rom anyway but the problem is that I need to get the new mod zip file and new gapps zip file into my phones sdcard but I can't do that/I don't know how. My phone isn't recognized by my pc ( I can't browse it's files) and I tried using adb in command prompt which is very complicated for me however I searched on the internet and tried to do the same but then it says "adb server is out of date killing" then I found one adbFix.exe that said that the adb in HTC sync manager folder is causing a conflict but then the Fix file said that its ok and no problems are there. Now I need to put custom rom and gapps zip files to my phone's sdcard but I can't. Please I would be very grateful to anyone who would help me and guide me and If I'm posting in the wrong forum or thread then please forgive me for this is my first time I made an account on XDA and my first ever comment/
Hy everybody,
I ve got a weird trouble.
What i wanted to do was to flash hboot so i went to bootloader and then i had to go and leave the phone on bootloader screen
without turning it off and with no power connected to it. When i came home again i noticed that the phone was off and now i got this trouble.
I m stuck at bootloader. If i try to get to recovery it fails and then the phone just reboot constantly
When i try to flash a new recovery over cmd fastboot flash recovery rec.img i get this message failed battery low.
When i adb oem rebootRUU i get to the black htc screen but when i try charging it turns also off after a while and if i try sending
the updated firmware it also tells me low battery.
Ok so i need to charge my battery but thats the trouble, when i plug the cable (over pc or power) the phone begins to charge (red light turn on)
and then it turn on my phone to bootloader and then after a few minutes it turns off because i think the battery is dead again.
Any good advice that could help? I m sure i could recover my phone again but as long as i can t charge it i think i m stuck.
Is it possible over fastboot or maybe adb to tell the phone to just simply charge my battery?
If im not wrong my cid is htc_102, if a RUU could help me it would be good but i don t really now which one to download for my
device. I used to have cyanogen mod 10 and i wanted to change to try some sense roms but i need needed to flash hboot
in order to get things working and now ..... u already know.
Thanxxx in advance.
Okay i fixed it.
So i tried to RUU my one x but towards the end of the process up popped up a message saying it was the wrong ROM although it wasnt.
Since then it has stuck on the HTC logo screen although i can get to the hboot screen if the battery charge is very low (to low to flash and ive tried to charge it from here but failed).
My phone is locked but can i get it back to normal, maybe through recovery without unlocking my phone. My version is 3.14.401.31
Why making a new thread, when you said you report back here

Edit : and if you are still not unlocked, rooted ...etc ...etc then take it to a repair center. If the ruu won't take it and a factory reset fails there is nothing we can do !
I have an htc one as stated above. It is rooted and has s-off but at the time things went wrong I was running my stock rom.
Yesterday when I went to pause my music my screen froze. I tried turning my phone off and when I attemtep to reboot it all I got was the htc white logo screen. It will remain on this screen until I turn the phone off.
I can enter the bootloader but the options don't work (reboot only turns the phone off, factory rest freezes the bootloader) I have tried everything to fix this, from locking the bootloader and using an RUU exe (locking the bootloader failed) to reflashing the recovery (gave me the error "remote image update error).
The thing that I really don't understand is why this happened, I wasn't even doing anything and my phone just crapped out on me.
I need this phone back and I don't know what to do, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Oh, and the best part is that all of this happened AFTER I already filed a warranty claim for the phones faulty mic. My new device comes tomorrow and if I send them this one back I'll be out 600 bucks.
Is there any way to fix this?

Additionally, everything is still unlocked (bootloader says unlocked, still have s-off) and there is no tamper evidence either.

When you enter your boot loader, what does the following command give you: fastboot devices
If you get your phone in response, you are not out of hope.

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster
Short story: I just need a straight link to a recovery.img file specific to my device which is a HTC Desire 820.
Long story:
- Upgraded my phone to Lollipop.
- Unlocked my HTC phone.
- Followed a guide on the net regarding flashing TWRP recovery image and rooting (did not realise I was unknowingly flashing a previous / incompatible version on my phone).
- Now stuck with a phone that can't boot to recovery or factory reset (because it then tries to boot to recovery when doing this).
- I can get into the boot loader screen and fastboot, but selecting HBOOT and then RECOVERY makes my phone vibrate a little and flashes a message, but then goes back to the boot loader screen.
- I tried to flash another recovery.img file, but this just made it so that the HTC logo is displayed and doesn't get passed that.
- Now I just want to flash the lollipop recovery.img so that I at least can root the phone and not necessarily install TWRP.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
So... no ideas?
lol *bump*
Post your device model, i.e. 820n...820u...

Thanks for responding and providing guidance @tomal.
The model of my phone is: HTC DESIRE 820 Model Number: OPFJ50.
Thank you in advance.
Power of your device and connect the device to the charger when it is in power off after connected you quickly press vol up+power button or vol down+power button then you find a charging logo then release the buttons after tha the phone goes off automatically then you quickly press vol down button only it gets the bootloader then you flash the only lolliop stock official recovery.img because twrp of 64 bit having some bugs.but they fix it you wait for some time.
keep on pressing the power button for a minute and then restart into the os .
still searching for the recovery.img compatible with htc desire 820.
please if you get let me know at [email protected] .
Flash stock official recovery....it having no bugs while booting,restarting,formatting the phone. but it can't handle the ota updates. You have also wait for some more time they will updated best recovery or stock ruu or how to s off.
Hi, I don’t know who or were to ask, my HTC Desire 820 was working fine, no problem at all. I got a voice chat and while listening there was a loud noise and the device shut off. After a few seconds it booted back up and didn’t load android, it was on a constant bootloop. I couldn’t turn it off or anything. After a while it shut itself down. Assuming the battery was low I connected it but to my surprise it wasn’t charging, the orange LED was blinking. I leave it plugged in for more than one hour but the situation continued, the phone was not powering on and the led was flashing. At that point what I did was to remove the back cover and reset the battery which make it begin to charge normal. After 30 min I tried turning it back on but the boot loop was still there. I could manage to enter fastboot and perform a factory reset. After it finished the device was booting back up and at a certain point the bootloop start over. The device was not rooted, bootloader locked, everything stock, since I didn’t want to mess with it because it is my only phone at this moment. I think on unlocking bootloader, and rooting to try install a custom rom or a backup save from someone. I have been able to unlock bootloader but TWRP doesn’t load, the device will not go into custom recovery and I have tried several versions. Now I don’t have the stock recovery anymore. I can go into bootloader, but nothing else.
I have to mention that now I have more than 24H dealing with this with no luck or signs of fixing my phone. Please, please any one that can help I will be very grateful.
My phone info is the following
HTC Desire 820 dual sim.

SO in this way you have to s off the htc desire 820 and flash the ruu means os zip file in bootloader or type the command fastboot rebootruu in fastboot mode then flash the ruu with fastboot files with the help of computer.

But as far as I have read there is no way to S-OFF the Desire 820 so far. And I havent been able to find any RUU on the web
It is there to s off but you have to pay some money with the help of sunshine

I have used it before with another device I had. and to be honest I will be glad to use it again. the big problem here is that the phone is not booting, so I cannot install sunshine to gain S-OFF.
If there is any other way to get it done or something to allow me boot to the OS it will be great
The only solution for this is wait for a few days.because the htc desire 820 is the first model to get android 64bit.so the developers are not able to develop thirdparty code for it.if the device is locked go to the service center and give the phone they are all having the more stock roms to flash it.
