htc one x iscompletely messed up. Please Help!!!

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

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.

[Q] Back to stock with s-on?

I have been trying to go back to stock and I am sure that I have missed it in the threads but is it even possible to do if I am s on? Iif I can't then is there a s off for 1.54.401.5 that I am missing. I have tried to relock bootloader and tried installing the stock backup but then the phone just stays in bootloader and I can't reboot into the system.

You can't with S-ON, at best, it will show RELOCKED

What have you actually changed? If you want s-off use firewater.

Unfortunately I have one of the phones that can't s off with firewater. I have been trying for a wile. Plus I can't find any other way to get s off or that would solve all my problems. I have tried all the dab and fast boot commands and 3 or 4 other all in one programs that say they do it but one of the prerequisite of tho use is to be s off.

I'm not flaming, but S-OFF is not recommended for general users. You can live fine with S-ON. Going back to S-ON is ruled out for now, until someone finds a new way !

HTC M9 won't boot after update - can't flash anything, factory reset or unlock bl..?!

Hey guys
got a HTC M9 with cid "O2___102" which won't boot up after stock update.
Phone was not modified yet.
1. Can't unlock bootloader (says: "(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock") - so no way to install custom recovery + custom rom to revive
2. Can't boot into recovery (shows phone with a red exclamation mark but no menu) so no way to factory rest
3. can't find a matching RUU for the "O2___102" CID ...
PLEASE HELP =(

At the screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark, press and hold the power button. While holding the power button, quickly press and release the volume + button. If this gets you to recovery, try a factory reset.

The UK ones for O2 can be used with the German O2 CID, too. You can find them for example in my Collection of Back-to-Stock Files or on androidRUU. But I'm not sure whether a downgrade from android 5.1 is possible with S-ON. The only confirmed downgrades with S-ON were from 1.32.XXX.15 to 1.32.XXX.8. And from my experiences with Denis Meissner and Amr Nasser I would say that a downgrade isn't possible with S-ON if the first and/or the second number of the actual firmware version differ from the ones of the firmware you want to downgrade to.

Yeah, would have suprised me if it worked. As said before even downgrading from 1.40.XXX.X to 1.32.XXX.X seems to be impossible with S-ON. How long did you actually wait until you thought that you phone doesn't boot? The update to android 5.1 and the first boot took around an hour for me. Maybe you just need to wait a little longer. If your phone was unlocked I would suggest you to flash TWRP and use one of my stock backups but...
The only other option I can see right now is trying to find someone who has a java card. With S-OFF you should be able to downgrade with the RUU. (If I remember correctly there were one or two shops advertising their java card services on Android-Hilfe.) This option may not be for free but it should still be cheaper than sending your phone to HTC's repair service or buying a new phone.

whats that java card you're talkin about? Never heard of that.
An appropiate RUU with the latest version should theoretically also work, right?
Problem ist that I cant flash anything custom because bootloader locked and I cant get inside the system to enable the bootloader unlock... =( and the thing has a visually broken volume up key for dropping down, so the htc support won't fix it (for free) I fear.. otherwise I would just give it to them since it has not been modified yet. (not my phone ..)
P.S:
OS Version is 2.10.206.2 - thats the latest one right?

Yes, 2.10.206.2 is the latest version for now. If there were a RUU with your firmware version then using it would be the easiest way to solve your problems. But as far as I know the only existing ones for O2 are for 1.32.206.6 and 1.32.206.15. But with S-OFF you would be able to use the older RUUs, too.
I never used a java card so my knowledge about this topic isn't that outstanding. I know that it is a small, SIM-Card-like looking thing that allows you to S-OFF your phone. Usually they cost several hundred euros/dollars and the number of times you can use them is limited. Since verizon blocks bootloader unlocking these cards are the only option if a verizon users wants to flash anything on his/her phone. Some German phone shops offered S-OFF by java card, too, before sunshine got updated for the M9. That's why I gave you the link to Android-Hilfe. (And that's actually all I know about that topic.)

i need this rru please any one have to uplode link
thanks

Just as an update, I recently bricked this phone trying to flash lineage to it. To fix it, I went to HTC.com and downloaded the current RUU and put the phone into download mode. I know some people say you don't need to "relock" the device, but I don't get errors during the installation with RUU when relocked. Plus, I am running with S-on.

Bootloader and s status are irrelevant. The phone will flash regardless.

Returning to stock issues.

I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my new M9, unlocked, s-off also.
Found out that I have the battery is faulty, so I need to return it to stock, and get it back the shop for a replacement.
However, I stupidly didn't make a back up of my stock rom.
The CID of my phone is O2___01
I've downloaded the stock rom from this site, and flashed it using the RUU command. However when it flashes, then tells me to reboot, it still has Android Revolution HD on it.
I've spent a few hours browsing the forum, and still I've come to no avail.
Any help would be well appreciated!

You don't provide much information so it's hard to help. So let's start at the bginning: What firmare version are you using? (It's stated in Download Mode in the line with "OS" at the beginning.)
You tried to flash a RUU? Which one? Have there been any error outputs? If yes, which ones? Since you're S-OFF flashing a RUU should not be a problem at all so these outputs are very important if you want any help.

As far as I know Sneakyghost doesn't provide any RUUs. Those are only firmware packages that do not contain a rom. So it's no miracle that you're still booting ARHD.
You can download O2 RUUs from here, here or here. Any of the X.XX.206.X files will work since you are S-OFF. Do you have a SD card that is not bigger than 32gb? If yes, format it to fat32, copy one O2 RUU to its root directory and rename that file to "0PJAIMG.zip". If you then boot to Download Mode you will be asked to push the Volume Up button and the RUU will start flashing. If it reboots to system instead of rebooting to Download Mode you will have to power off your phone and boot to Download Mode manually. The RUU will continue then. At the end you will be asked to push the power button so that your phone gets shut down. If you now start your phone you will be back on a stock system.
Be aware that there is no RUU for your current firmware. Since you're S-OFF that doesn't matter but your phone will be downgraded at the end.

Ahh no wonder! haha
Going to try this shortly, so will let you know how I get on!
After its flashed, I'll be good to lock again and go s-on? Then return to the shop?

Relock only after you successfully tested that your device is booting normaly. After that you theoretically could re-S-ON. (But I would never do that because there is always a risk of hardbricking your phone if you re-S-ON and there is anything still modified that you didn't notice. For safety reasons S-OFF should always be considered as a oneway.)
Edit: I'm not completely sure but I actually doubt that they will check whether your phone was S-OFFed or not. If I think about the people who are working at the O2 or vodafone shops in my city I would say they do not even know what a bootloader is...

Agreed, use the s-off command to change back to "LOCKED" and leave it s-off. Too much of a risk otherwise.
If in the unlikely event they see it, you can play dumb, because a few rare people have gotten s-off phones from the factory and it doesn't prove you did anything.

M9 Stuck in a permanent boot loop even after hard reset :(

Hi everyone,
It would appear that my phone is stuck in a permanent boot loop. I'm still on the latest official rom from my carrier, it's not rooted nor have I made any changes to the bootloader.
The only thing that I did was restart my phone from within the OS after I couldn't launch the official SMS app (some MMS process error).
Now I'm stuck in a boot loop where the phone doesn't get past the first "HTC" logo page. I also notice that there are two thin dark horizontal lines on the top and middle of the screen that weren't there before. They look like clusters of dead pixels and are across the whole screen.
I've tried using the official bootloader to do a factory reset and wipe cache but I'm still having the same issue.
What else can I try? Is it safe for me to unlock the bootloader and try flashing a custom ROM while the phone is in this state?

I'd try to look for an RUU that matches your firmware before trying anything else.

I've tried to find it but I'm not having luck.
Since I'm S-ON I can only flash the ROM with the same firmware and I've figured that I need:
version: 3.35.166.12 for CID: VODAP120 (A1 Telekom Austria).
Now in case I can't find it, I would need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
However, since there is no way to go S-OFF without actually booting into the phone is there a risk of bricking the phone when trying to flash a custom ROM?

If your phone has a warranty send it back. For it to bork the way it has it was probably faulty, unless you know something we don't..
You could revive the phone but it may still have a fault.

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for the friendly help. I've found the RUU file and it revived it. Wasn't free though (ir-file.com).
When I get the time I'll re-upload it and make available in one of the RUU threads.
Anyway, the first thing I did was to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root and finally S-OFF. If I had TWRP to start with I could have avoided all this hassle and just restore the boot partition for example.
However it does worry me a bit that such a thing occurred out of the blue. Are there any ways of checking if there is storage corruption, bad sectors in memory ect?

I've tried to find it but I'm not having luck.
Since I'm S-ON I can only flash the ROM with the same firmware and I've figured that I need:
version: 3.35.166.12 for CID: VODAP120 (A1 Telekom Austria).
Now in case I can't find it, I would need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery.
However, since there is no way to go S-OFF without actually booting into the phone is there a risk of bricking the phone when trying to flash a custom ROM?

Hold the power button and volume down while booting. The OS line will show you the ROM version that you have to look for when trying to find the RUU. You need to install ADB and Fastboot and run a special command to read the CID and other device data. Something like allvars, can't remember exactly, did it a year ago when I got the phone

You mean "connect it to a pc while in download mode, install a copy of fastboot.exe and type: fastboot getvar.

If you need permanent storage for the ruu you got let me know as i have plenty of gdrive space.

Hi guys, I am in the exact same situation and don't seem to be able to find the appropriate RUU file for my phone. Can you please give me some indication regarding how to find it.
So far I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and attempted flashing several RUU files without any success whatsoever.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Cheers!
