HTC One X G-sensors not working all of a sudden!

Hey guys... My friend bought an HTC One X second hand. It is rooted with what seems to be stock 4.0.3 Sense 4.0. The phone is also S-OFF and everything.. I will post pictures of it.
So here's the deal:
My friend was watching a movie but suddenly he felt as if the screen wasn't rotating... Now (According to AndroSensor App) the magnetic field, orientation, gyroscope, accelerometer etc... In short.. All of the GRAVITY SENSORS and the orientation sensors aren't working.. They are DETECTED by the app but say "Waiting for event"
tried hard resetting and everything. I have put many Custom ROMs in phones before. So i can flash ROMs etc if i have to
I have attached the pictures about everything and need help.. Alot appreciated thanks.

Since i bought it second hand he told me "i gave you the phone when it was working. Even you checked it here in the shop. Not my fault.".... Thats the last time i ever buy a 2nd hand phone -.-
And he ain't wrong himself either... Anyways a helpful suggestion will be alot appreciated...
My question is that "CAN I FLASH A SENSE 5 (4.2.2) ROM ON THIS BAD BOY BY JUST FLASHING VIA RECOVERY?"
I'll then check the other powering off and stuff i read till i get my hands on my frnd's HOX. Cuz im a bit busy waiting for the Nexus 5 launch o.o

you should update it first, that is a very old version, you should have updates available. as it is s-off you can flash anything you want but I think you will need to update the hboot first, once that is done you have a lot of options available to you

Yeah you might be right... So what you are suggesting is I do a ROM flashing? Seeing the phone is already s-offed and everything
Anyways can you please list me a step by step procedure? Seeing this is my friend's phone so not doing this on my own :x

Bump?

Go to settings and check for an update. What we all recommend is that you send it to HTC, all untampered One Xs should still be in warranty, so send it to them, if it can't be fixed they'll send you a One X or a One X+, or sometimes they could send a HTC One if you're lucky :/

Nay i live in Pakistan :/ if this was in warranty even they wouldn't have accepted it :/ or requested a cost for it... Either way thanks for your reply... So doing an OTA update won't create problems on an S-OFFed device right?

OTA need relocked or locked device , stock recovery and stock ROM
and if you still have a problem with your g-sensor , check my signature , there is an alternative way to fix it

Oh alright! Btw if i flash a recovery via fastboot, then i am able to flash (say) a custom ROM Sense 5, 4.2.2 right? Just asking for it i will update it by OTA (provided there isnt a custom recovery... Since i didnt check that) :/

Oh i'll get right on it when i get my hands on the device can i request you to stay put to this thread? Cuz i will report back here

if you flash a custom recovery you can do anything you want, ie flash a rom, sense or no sense, or flash back to stock and because you are s-off you can even change your cid to install an update from a different region.
this can go on and on and people are starting to repeat themselves and you have had all the information you need to move forward. so what you need to do, as you say you cannot fix under warranty, is :- let the phone update via ota, this will update everything including the rom, the version of sense and the hboot. then once it is finished with all ota's available you can install a custom recovery( I recommend philz touch recovery or the latest twrp) and then you can flash all the rom's or mods you like.
and if you find you still have a problem with sensors check @HTC Venom signature for a possible solution

Try to do the hard reset after couple of days. Once you feel your device is warm enough. Chances to get them back gets better with time

i got them back except for temperature sensor....althought i did this thing several times, but once it worked out...i restarted the phone by long pressing the power button, even after the TURN OFF menu appears...on the start screen pressed volume down button to go in safe mode, all sensors started working, then i restarted mobile to come in normal mode.
working fine uptil now, i dont have restarted or powered off after that. so dont know if they will keep working after restart or again same problem will occur
all the people having same problem, just keep on trying restarts, safe mode, factory reset etc etc most probably they will start working. its just hit and trial

[q] htc one xl cant go into recovery

I'm sorry, I might be in the wrong forum but since there's no ONE XL lol. So I bought this ONE XL from Hong Kong and I'm in Mexico. I got the phone and everything was great until it prompted me to update my software so I clicked yes, it updated to 4.1 something with sense 4+ and then it prompted me to update again so I clicked yes. Thing is it updated to 4.2.2 with sense 5. Everything was good until I realized I could access my phone as storage divice so I can't transfer file in or out of it. There is no CONNECT TO PC option. And another thing, it erased the SPANISH phone language (i need it because i share the phone with my gf). So I did some research and found out about morelocale 2 which would allow me to add Spanish back again but turns out I need SU access. So I thought it would be much easier to just flash a rom and use something with 4.0.3 again. The phone was already sim-unlocked and with S-OFF so all I did was unlock the bootloader but when I flash a recovery like clorckwork or twrp it goes to a white HTC SCREEN LOGO and in red letters thes this "this build is made for development purposes only...." and then it reboots like 3 times and starts the phone up normal again. Anyone knows what can I do? Or what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Sorry about the long explanation.

There is HTC one XL forum. (AT&T, Rogers) go there
And yes jellybean doesn't support UMS anymore, only MTP.

I'm sorry, I just found it too. Thanks though. But still, does anyone have the same problem? How do you transfer files back and forth? And if I flash it back to 4.0.3, will that solve my problem? Thanks.

Nexus 5x stuck at google screen [Potentially Hard-bricked]

*** The issue is resolved!!! Thanks to xda, the solution is provided in the link in the comments.***
Couple of days ago I got this OTA notification that Android 7.1 preview is available for update. As my phone is rooted I started the manual update procedure. After the flashing was finished, I restarted the phone and then I saw it was stuck at the Google screen. Just stuck, no response. Seemed unusual to me.
Let me tell you that I have been modding my Nexus 5 for about two years. I am familiar with most of the tweaks that can be done to a Nexus device. Nexus 5 served me amazingly. I bought Nexus 5x 3 months ago.
So, after it was stuck I restarted. Still stuck. I will tell you step by step what I did then:
1. Flashed the OS 7.1 again (I dunno why, the flash.all script doesn't work for me, so I always do that manually) - result is the same.
2. Last October update (NBD90W) was available in the folder so I flashed that - same result.
3. I downloaded the previous one (NRD90S) and flashed that - same result.
4. I locked the phone and unlocked again to erase everything (not sure if that's a good idea), then flashed the OS again - same result.
5. Then I tried LGUP and the tot files to give it the factory version. LGUP detects the phone, started installing. When the installation is finished and the phone restarted - same result.
6. Now that I gave it the factory version the phone got locked!
7. I searched google for hours but couldn't find a way to unlock it as the OS is not booting and I cannot turn USB debugging on!
8. Then I tried the default recovery mode (Android recovery, from the recovery screen Power + volume up) as it doesn't require unlocking the device. Wiped the cache and restarted - same result.
9. My phone is detected by the pc and ADB. So, I wiped everything and tried ADB sideload and get this error E: footer is wrong
10. I tried Nexus root toolkit. It detects the phone in fastboot mode, then restarts it and then it again is stuck on the Google screen.
I am extremely depressed!
I am from Bangladesh and there is no authorized LG servicing center here. So, I can't ask for their help.
All that I did over the past two years was the awesome threads of xdadevelopers. So, a big thumbs up for you guys . :good:
I learnt from the web that phone can be hard bricked if a wrong bootloader is flashed. That's impossible for me as I always remove the factory image extracted files after flashing is done from the ADB>platform-tools folder.
Now, is the phone hard-bricked? If it is, what to do with it? Will replacing the motherboard get my phone back? Any kind of suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Bummer. This sounds a lot like what I just posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-bootloop-7-1-1-beta-ota-enter-t3486957

Well, I don't get bootloops, my phone is just stuck at the Google screen and I can enter recovery mode (lying Android with red exclamation mark), from there I can enter Android recovery mode, where ADB sideload is available.

Please say something about replacing the motherboard. It's very very pricey, so I want to be sure -_-

sounds like its hardware problem, contact seller to replace it. if not going to happen, then buy a new phone from a company that does have a dealer in your country to warrant. aside of camera, the specs of other phones at this price range are better

That thought is also roaming around my head, still Nexus is Nexus!

What's the price going for the 5X over there? It's as low as $280 here in the US which is easy better then it's original.

Try the tutorial here. It's little bit different from the original thread ,
as @bardhi92 said, THE MAIN DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT AFTER I FLASHED THE .TOT FILE, I BOOTED MY PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER AND DID AN ADB SIDELOAD OF THIS OTA.ZIP
Well, for my case, eventually I successfully bring my N5X alive. The tricky part is to enter Android System Recovery (hold Power + Volume Up) after flashing TOT.

A warranty is a warranty, it doesn't matter what country you're in or where the repair place is. People in Canada send stuff to the USA for warranty issues all the time. I'd get on the phone with LG until I heard what I wanted, but I'm a stubborn old goat lol.

HTC One M9 abort the update to android 7

Hi, my name is Lenard, and my problem is the followed:
A few months ago i rooted my M9 with HTC Dev, installing a custom recovery, I used also the Xposed framework, but nothing else more.
After a day i noticed that Snapchat doesn't work. So i prefer to took that step back because i use it ...
I took the ruu 3.35.161.12 for my phone with a branding. Put it on the SD card and do all how it should be. Bootloader relocked, stock firmware. It works, but the update to android 7 comes yesterday ... and i download it. My phone restarts and install it. But on 25 % the phone says "Nope", the red triangle and an exclamation mark comes.
Can someone help me ?
Sorry my English is not the pretty best !
Thanks in Advance !

The Update is always there, but the install process canceled until 25%. But there was something very strange...
A friend has also a M9, and i ask him if he could do the update on his phone to check if it works. He did not do anything with his M9, not rooted, and not set S-off. Nothing. And the Update fails too. So... The problem can be the update, not my M9...

Help to revive my HTC10

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

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.

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

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.

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!".

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
