Did you try it? People are reporting it to work for phones that are not listed in the website.

to be very clear.....the wildfire s doesn't support "fastboot oem" commands.....which are needed for the official method....so IT WON'T WORK

Figured that out reading the WFS Campaign thread as well as other forums... Thanks.
It's just this phone is unusable with all the garbage apps inside. I need to clean it. Otherwise I'll have to spend more money on another phone for my wife...

If it doesn't support fastboot, why it's then part of RUU update pack together with adb ?

The phone supports fastboot.
But the phone does not understand the oem command get_identifier_token for an unique key of the phone. And the bootloader hasn't got one or two lines at the start with the value of unlocked or locked like in the sensation xe.
So htc must give an update for hboot first, but they said, that they don't do it.

[Q] Bricked HTC ONE X While Unrooting! I'm Noob!

Everyone just made a trade today for iphone 4s 64gb for a tegra 3 htc one x. I bricked my phone trying to unroot it wanting some old software back. Stuck on bootloader screen. I don't have access to any files or anything. Please leave download links and very detailed steps. I'm a real dummy. I got it relocked so far and basically want to get it back up and running. Looks like a european version not 100% on that.

Which rom were you on before unrooting? Were you trying to flash an ruu ? What did you do to unroot and at which point did you get stuck ?

I first downloaded the unroot files did the relock by doing the recovery through cmd. I just followed a youtube video and the point it was suppose to restart it gave me that red alert sign and got stuck so I factory reset and it keeps going back to bootloader.

You relock by typing this into your terminal : fastboot oem lock
No additional files needed its just a command
Then download the stock recovery for one x which you can find in a lot of places and this forum as well, put it in your fastboot folder, to make it simpler rename it to something like hoxstockrec.img .. now put your phone in fastboot and in terminal type fastboot flash recovery hoxstockrec.img
I don't know about that unrooting file you were talking about but it probably does its job. Also, are you on stock ROM?

hi im in the exact same situation can you help please?did you figure it out?done what the other guy in this post said and still didnt work

You can install the original 1.29 RUU for European HOX. You need to boot the phone while typing vol down+power button, press fastboot and run the downloaded RUU. You need at least 30% of battery. (Relocked bootloader needed)

[HELP] Bricked HTC one X - tried everything.

Hi there XDA,
I have searched and tried many different ways to help me,
but none have worked or are lacking in information for me to follow methods.
so i have turned to your general help!
i do not have any knowledge on how my phones bootloader was unlocked or any fastboot things at all, if you could explain to me step by step methods of using the fastboot option via connecting it to my computer to get it to work including files i need that would help.
well okay these are my problems.
~ I tried flashing a jdroid rom, with aroma installer.
it installed the rom but after i installed it it was looping the 'HTC' logo at startup.
what happens is i turn it on, it says "htc quietly brilliant" hangs for a few seconds, screen goes black then phone vibrates and it repeats.
i have a CWM flashed but whenever i boot into recovery it the cwm flashes on the screen for one tenth of a second and then it reboots and i get a loop of booting screen.
If anyone could please help that would be greatly appreciated! i have only had this phone for one week! and it is vital i get it fixed as i have alot of information in the SD card vital to my business

First, download the RUU for your phone (you should have it already as you got it before unlocking the bootloader, right?). If you didn't, then this is the first rookie mistake you've made
Second, relock the bootloader. This involves using fastboot which, again, you should how to use before doing anything that can potentially lead to issues. If you don't know how to use fastboot then check the threads in the Dev forum or Google it
Third, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot and run the RUU
This will get you back to stock and then you can start again (once you've read up on everything properly)

I tryed to install RUU yesterday with relocked bootloader to solve sense issue but did not get it work.
Tryed with 1.25, 1,28 and 1,29 but got error 120 and 170 (no USB connection and low battery even battery was 95%).
Any idea why?
Then I removed CID line in OTA and installed it by fastboot and sense issue was gone

Good news is you're not bricked, do you have adb installed on your pc?

If your friend unlocked and rooted your phone, he must have had the necessary tools on his pc.
Before trying other things, get your friend to run fastboot erase cache (or if you have the necessary tools run it yourself with your device booted in fastboot of course (volume down and power pressed))

hmm i have done some extra researching and had more help but my phone is in fastboot and is connected via cable to pc but the CMD always comes up with "waiting for device"

Have u got HTC sync installed
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Once you have htc sync installed or just thethe drivers boot into hboot. Click on fastboot plug in device. It should show fastboot-usb.
If you bootloader shows unlocked open cmd and cd to the platform-tools folder in the sdk and type: fastboot oem lock.
This will relock the bootloader and reboot the phone. Boot back to fastboot the run the ruu for your cid and all will be back to normal.

rooting my new Vodafone AU issued One X

some questions please in regards to rooting my Vodafone AU phone
I want to install a custom ROM/root the phone so I've been reading this guide => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355.
I want to make sure I have some fallback in case I fcuked up the custom ROM install.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. I found a Vodafone RUU but it seems it's newer than the one I got. 1.28.869.11 instead that one on mine which is 1.28.869.9. I suppose it's better to update mine then? or leave it as is and just flash to 869.11 if I get into trouble?
2. Does someone know of a site that has MD5/SHA hashes of the RUU files just in case I want to verify my copy has downloaded completely/legit? I didn't download mine from the filefactory website as it requires a minimum $12 which I can't afford at the moment. :/
3. htcdev.com site is VERY VERY slow at the moment. bad time to do the unlocking I suppose?
Thank you very much!

1. Newer is better
2. I don't personally but someone might
3. Yes it's VERY slow at the moment as they released the Desire S ICS RUU recently so it's getting a bit of traffic

encountered a new problem during rootin. :/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm kinda stuck in rooting my device. D:
I'm using this guide => [Tut] Preparing Your One X for Custom Roms (For Dummies) - xda-developers.
I have boot my HTC into "fastboot" mode (it says fastboot in the screen). I then plugged the HTC provided cable and "fastboot" now becomes "fastboot USB".
When I try to run "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". It is stuck at "waiting for device". The device doesn't show up in windows explorer. Not really sure if it should show up there or not.
1. Also, I tried running the fastboot command mentioned above with USB debugging enabled and disabled. No effect at all.
2. I have turned off firewall/antivirus just in case too. Still no effect.
3. I've tried running command prompt as normal user and as admin. Still not effect.
4. I have reset my new phone to factory settings as I've installed some apps while browsing XDA on how to go about getting root.
I haven't installed any HTC specific software. I was just following the advice as mentioned in the XDA guide.
Any thoughts? :/

Without the HTC software you have no drivers, hence no response in fastboot. Download and install HTC Sync Manager from the HTC website and then try again

Technically you dont need a hash for an exe (ruu), if its a corrupt download it wont run, simples.

The guide never mentioned it so I thought no HTC software is needed.
Thanks.

Htc one m8s can't do a factory reset either on bootloader or OS.

Hi all.
My htc one m8s is not doing a factory reset and also doesn't boot into the recovery.
I was on able to unlock the bootloader. All others steps to a instalation off recovery or a new HTC exe file gives me an error.
I still access the OS.
Don't know what to do.
Many thanks

I don't have the M8s, but just the "regular" M8. So can only give you general help. But what I can offer up:
- You aren't specific as to what types of errors your get trying to install recovery. Or the exact command you used. So it is hard to troubleshoot (may just be use error). Also I assume you are trying to install TWRP custom recovery. If so, make sure it is the one specific to the M8s (TWRP for M8 will not work).
- RUU will only work if your bootloader is locked (will fail with bootloader unlocked, by definition). Also, it has to be the exact RUU for your CID and version number, so I would suggest giving more specific info about your device, before going through the trouble of locking the bootloader again, just to find the RUU still will not work.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting). Also give the file name and version number of the RUU you are trying.

You must use htc_fastboot instead of the normal version. You can find it here
To flash a RUU / HTC exe you need to relock the bootloader first.
You also need to use the "htc_fastboot.exe" to flash TWRP.

Hi.
I have tried all sort of things and so far the only thing I have managed to do was flashing a TWRP from HTC One M7 that works up to a point where is showing me some red writing on the HTC Logo when I chose the "recovery" option on the bootloader but then goes back to bootloader page, it never gets into TWRP.
I never noticed a small vertical bar on top right of the bootloader when I try to flash a recovery on the mobile.
I definitely know I have a HTC One M8s but why I only get some reaction when I flash a TWRP from HTC One M7.
All this steps are done with WINDROID toolkit

That is good way to permanently brick your phone :good:! TWRP recoveries are built for each specific model and not without reason!

Stop using those toolkits, and get the htc_fastboot specifically made for HTC, download from here.

Only use TWRP specifically made for the M8s (M8QL_UL), download them from here
Place them in one folder, open CMD and CD to the location. Connect the phone via USB, boot into bootloader > fastboot and execute:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash recovery twrp-x-x-x-x.img
After that just boot into your now working M8s recovery.
Stop using other phones' recoveries / tools or you will brick your phone.
