I've done it again. I think I need to be stopped! lol
I had a perfectly fine phone running the original orange 4.1.1 software. I decided to root it or something and now I'm stuck on the white intro screen.
I can get into the hboot or whatever it's called by holding down power and vol down, but once in there everything I try just takes me back to the white screen.
Factory reset just takes me back to white screen
Recovery shows me a pic of my phone with a green arrow, then a red warning sign. Sometimes from there I can get into recovery (of sorts), but theres nowhere there for me to restore my backups
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
You should probably reflash CWM

did the fastboot flash recovery thing on the recovery file, it all seemed to work fine (although it only took 1.3 seconds.
I then did a fastboot reboot and it's stuck at the htc page again...

read it all the way through and follow all instructions,its a bit daunting at first.you can either use adb or there are a couple of tools on the dev page..
Hmm. I've been out for a few hours, left it on charge as when I tried the RUU it said I didn't have enough power. Now it wont start up at all....
They're is a thread somewhere that covers this problem,do a search for low battery stuck in recovery.

Excellent, it looks like I can now charge my phone. Hopefully once it's charged a while I can flash on a new RUU
HI all, I'm hoping I'm on the end stretch now lol..
I have a fully charged phone, but tried to install the RUU but it wasn't having any of it, saying that it was the incorrect version. I have the latest that was on the page (was about a month old) it's saying my image version is 3.16.61.6 and it wants to change it to 1.28.061.9, but then it can't
Any ideas? Cheers
Do these fastboot commands
Fastboot oem readcid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post them here please
readcid - orang001
version main - 3.16.61.6
Thanks
Yes you need a ruu or a nandroid backup that starts with 3.16 with and orange cid ! You tried to downgrade he hboot with an older ruu and that is impossible due to not having S-OFF ......
I found this on another page, will that work do you think?

Hi Matt,
Here's the Orange UK Jellybean nandroid. Users will need the stock 3.16 recovery to complete the install

Sorry didn't see that one !!!! Its not in the OP yet ..... Yes use that one !!! That's exactly what you need !!!
Edit : I only checked the OP, but Matt is on holiday so the OP is not updated :thumbup:
Great stuff, do I still need to do all wiping and flashing of boot?
Cheers for this, you've been a great help
Yes do a full wipe and flash the boot.img from the nandroid with fastboot ! You got lucky mate
Lets hope so
Finally downloaded the ruu, don't want to do it wrong. What commands do I need to type?
Cheers
Its not a ruu .... its a nandroid backup and its probably a .rar file ... Unpack it and put it on the phones sd card looking like this
Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder\backup files
Copy the boot.img from those backup files to the fastboot folder
Flash it in fastboot usb mode
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the custom recovery and do a full wipe/factory reset and restore the nandroid backup from the menu backup & restore
Boot it up to see if its running !
Ah, see there's mu issue, the phone's still not getting past the HTC logo at the beginning. I can't get the backup on my phone can I?
Dear Xda'ers,
I recently bought a second hand HTC ONE X.
I was not convinced about the battery life so i decided to root the device and to flash another ROM.
Everything went fine till i had to flash the ROM. In the tutorial they showed a step where you had to boot the device into recovery mode by using the terminal "fastboot boot boot.img". Unfortunately this step didn't work out for me, it stayed stuck at the HTC LOGO. So i decided to just do it without the command and flash it from the recovery mode at the device itself. (Power + Volume down --> Recovery --> Install from zip --> ...)
Not a good idea ...
The device came in an endless bootloop and recovery mode was not accessible.
After a few hours searching at forums i finally found a solution.
I tried to instal many different Rom's but none of them would work, except for one: " LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0 ".
Again everything went fine,the phone started up as it was supposed to do.
Unfortunately when the phone was booted, the touchscreen did not respond to anything at all..
I recorded it :
youtu.be / tXnVFkzwvu0
(there is are spaces in the link, because i'm not able to post links yet.)
This is my first post on XDA, i would rather just look at existing topics, but none of them worked out. So can please somebody help me?
I guess I still have a few months warranty but the bootloader is unlocked so bye bye warrenty.
Some details from recovery mode, who might be usefull for you guys :

Use CWM/TWRP to flash new roms. First you need to flash the boot.img from the LeeDroidROM.zip... Since you haven't done that, it might be a reason for the non working touch screen...
Follow these steps:
1. Reboot your phone into bootloader (Power + Volumedown)
2. Go into fastboot and then connect to your PC
3. Go to your fastboot folder and open CMD over there and fire the following command:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img (You will find this in LeeDroidROM.zip)
fastboot erase cache
4. Disconnect your phone from PC and select HBOOT and the select Recovery from there.
5. Once CWM screen is shown:
Wipe Data
Cache Partition-Wipe cache
Advanced-Wipe Dalvic cache
6. Now install zip from sd: select your ROM.zip and flash it.
7. Reboot
Maybe a mismatch between the ROM(s) you are using (other than stock obviously) and your hboot version?
For example, the ROM you're using is an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM and you're running a seriously new version of hboot (1.39 is newest iirc), this is most probably creating issues. I know my hboot (1.12) for example wont let me run 4.2.x ROMs, but 4.1.x is fine as I'm running SlimBean 3.1.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, I'M STILL LEARNING! I'm still trying to get my head around hboot (having owned a HOX for 3 months), like knowing what changes were made or features added/removed in each hboot version...
ONLY IF you continue having problems AND no more with more experience comes to your aid (which they will btw ), flash TripNDroid's ROM here as it has unified hboot support, but isn't the most stable ROM on the face of the planet.
Just a slightly educated guess, sorry I can't be of more help.
Go with vin4yak's answer lol.
His HBOOT is 1.39... (from 1st post)
Yes, some ICS roms don't work well with upgraded firmwares/hboots... But I haven't faced any problem running ICS rom with Hboot 1.39 and 3.17xxx firmware... (Had tried ARHD)...
If it's a ROM specific issue, then he might need to try another JB Rom..

Also thanks for the reply,
I installed the " CM10 [JB v4.1.2] - v029 " Rom you mentioned, the phone boots perfectly but again the touch screen gives no sign of live....
If phone is off - power it on and wait for Android to fully load.
Wait for screen to turn off, then press power button to wake the screen.
You wont be able to unlock it but are the lights for the back-lighting of the hard keys at the bottom of the handset coming on? (It's just that they don't look like they are in your video)
If they're not coming on it could be a hardware problem... but I'd like someone to confirm that there aren't or are any partitions (inaccessible ones due to S-ON, or the ones that can be modified after bootloader unlock) that holds drivers for the touchscreen?

Yes indeed there are enlightened. I really can't believe that a touchscreen can get damaged from flashing..
It must have something to do with the drivers, but my knowledge is unfortunately a little too weak to make it out for myself.
Meanwhile i'm trying various things.. yet without succes
Likewise, my knowledge is also too weak to know if the touchscreen drivers (if there are even touchscreen drivers! Whichever partition they reside in) are exposed to damage.
My last guess if you have a faulty digitizer.
Unfortunately bud this is the limit of my help
Do the following command in fastboot
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
And post the result here... May be going back to stock will work for you?
Lets start from the beginning

I read the thread ! Strange issues here..... You are at a practical dead point so i guess you guys don't mind trying a new recovery......it even works with the latest 3.20 base including touch
http://db.tt/oGDkMlwc
Maybe it helps somewhere
And another idea i have is to get the right firmware and relock the bootloader, flash the firmware in ruu mode and unlock it again. So the whole update process will be clean from the start
Try the method of Mr Hofs first.

I think i might have some good news, i flashed the recoverymode you mentioned in a previous reaction. And there it is possible to navigate with the touchscreen, so i must be software related!
Now i'm going to use your Nandroid Back up, hopefully it works.
The touchdriver is updated for the bases :
3.16
3.17
3.18
3.19
3.20
Twrp had a recovery that worked with touch on those bases but the ums was broken. Now Phil has one that works with touch and ums ! Good man .......
On the latest bases its recommended to use cwm #6 series (non touch) and this one because its fully working. When you mount the sdcard it might take a while to pop up (up to a minute) but its working at least !
Oke the conclusion so far..
i tried flashing the following recovery mods :
- Philz touch recovery.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
- CWM-6030-advwipe-jb422-nontouch-recovery-endeavoru-v1.1.img
Only with "Philz touch recovery.img" i was able to navigatie true the menu's with the touchscreen, so i has to be software related.
I tried to instal the Rom "LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0.zip" when i was installing it i could problem-free use the touchscreen to navigate true to the setup. Once it was installed the phone rebooted using the freshly installed Rom. Unfortunately once it was on the home screen, the touch stopt responding again..
i tried these Rom's :
- LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0.zip
- cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-029.zip
- jellybam-v7.2.1_endeavoru-STABLE.zip
- Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_21.0.zip
- ...
Non of them worked with touch
Then i tried to restore using a NanDroid back up from Mr Hofs, nothing happend..
To be honest, i have no idea what to do next..
Someone else does?
Thanks for your times guys.
How did you restore my nandroid backup ? Flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup, made a full wipe and restored it ?

Mr Hofs, you can not believe how grateful I am to you.
I searched 2 longs days after a solution, and finally it works again. MANY MANY MANY thanks !
I forget to flash the boot.img
Guess i'll leave it like it is now.
Maybe one last question, do you have any idea what caused this problem?
Because i'm quite sure i will likely flash it again to a Clean Android look, and i rather do it correct
Many thanks for your time and advice !
A rom has always to be flashed in the same way as a nandroid backup.
Flash the boot.img, make a full wipe and install the rom.
The older roms won't work indeed because of the updated touchdrivers. Afaik only 3.14 and up roms are fully working.
So if you want to flash a new rom make sure its a JB rom based on 3.14 or higher
Hi all. I just bought this phone and for some reason it comes with the bootloader unlocked and a custom software. I was unable to update my phone so i was searching here and over there. Mr Hofs from this forum gave me some advices which i will quote.
My phone data is readcid: HTC__622
Fastboot getvar version-main : 3.14.708.28
He suggested me to: 1: download this RUU RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.14.708.28_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_299865_signed.exe
2: charge the battery to 100%
3: put the phone in the bootloader and relock it (if it is unlocked)
Fastboot oem lock
4: keep the phone in the relocked bootloader
5: right click on the ruu and select "run as administrator"
6: follow on screen info (phone and pc)
7: fingers crossed
8: back to stock it is
But the procces failed, it said i had to dowload the proper version and signed. Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader which is relockked. Please help me getting this back to life.
Thanks in advanced.
By some reason I can't explain, the phone came with the software called Android Revolution 6 by mike1986 :/
Try running this RUU from a different PC, it should work if your bootloader is locked! This is the correct RUU for your phone!
However, if you still can't get to your OS, then restore a nandroid backup via recovery!
Download this nandroid backup : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwEZB8sRo0DSdTRrN3FSSk5fUE0/edit?pli=1
Recovery : http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=4944
Now firstly unlock your bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Now flash the recovery you had just downloaded...(rename it to recovery.img)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Copy the files of the nandroid backup zip to /clockworkmod/backup/ and paste it there...
Transfer the boot.img into the fastboot folder, boot into fastboot USB and flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Now go back to recovery and wipe data/cache partition/dalvic
Now go to Back up and restore and restore the nandroid backup you had just copied to your phone! and then REBOOT!
---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------
If you want to go full stock to receive OTA updates, then you also need to flash the stock recovery.. Download this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ms7vd18vb9watr8/stock recovery 3.14.img
boot into fastboot mode and flash the recovery and then lock your bootloader!
Thanks for your reply, but which RUU? Seems like you forgot the link.
My bootloader doesnt say locked, it say relocked. Is the same?
Thanks so much for your help.
By the way. I have downloaded the Android SDK but it wont install at all.
Edited: I've tried with the same ruu in other PC and nothing.
Maybe its because it had a custom rom? It came with Android Revolution 6 or someting

I meant to say that the RUU given by Mr Hofs is correct one for your device! It should work...
Yes, relocked = locked bootloader...
Don't download the whole android sdk... you just need the fastboot folder and HTC Sync Manager (for the drivers) to run fastboot commands:
Here are the links:
Fastboot folder: http://d-h.st/8Jr
HTC Sync Manager: http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Nope, regardless of the rom your currently on, the RUU will work.. Don't know why your not able to finish it... Hmmm
I dont know. It just wont work
Im finishing downloading the files you suggestted me but i have a doubt in the step when you say to wipe the cache. How? From the phone or by deleting its contect on PC?
I'm a dumb, i know :/

Oh ohkk You got your phone with bootloader unlocked right? Skip that step! Go on with the next one!
If your bootloader is locked then you will have to go to htcdev.com and register there and follow the steps to unlock your bootloader. You will get a file via email (unlock_code.bin)... flash that to unlock your bootloader!

Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
Then restore the nandroid
Haha, sorry for the noob questions, I had to learn android stuff in 2 hours due the rush thinking I was getting a brick.
The phone is working now, thank you so much, guys.
Only strange things are that I don't have more languages than Taiwanese and English, not Spanish (system language); also the nandroid was rooted and I have root now, and the splash screen says "HTC one" lol
Again, you're the best. Thanks for help me out, ill see you around while learning

have you tried to flash another recovery? try Philz one (the best version depends on the rom you want to try), connect to pc, mount usb as storage, copy a rom on the phone and flash it if it is bootloop maybe it's a bad kernel flash or a missing kernel flashing process
im not an expert or something but...how can i mount usb storage and copy rom when it won´t turn on?

no, if it's off you can't, but as buttons blink three times, maybe you can enter fastboot and so you can try to update recovery...
sorry, mine are only guesses as i've never faced such a condition, but if you can enter fastboot maybe you can recover the device
now it again turn on in recovery (if it is even recovery, i really dont know ). It shows this screen and i really know what to do, can you write it step by step? or post some link?
it's not recovery, it's fastboot
do this way: try to download again the unlock.bin from htcdev.com if you haven't got it, unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery i told you before, then enter recovery, connect to pc and select mount usb storage... then copy a rom zip on phone, reboot to bootloader and flash rom kernel, enter again recovery, wipe everything to flash a new rom and flash the zip.. you should be fine
search this threads for guides, there are many and i can't give you all the links

please fell free to ask me if you have any question/issue
p.s. before unlocking the bootloader again, update hboot to at least 1.39.0000

better idea is to keep it locked and get a ruu for him, you only need his main number :
fastboot getvar version-main

you're right Mr Hofs, but i really don't like stock rom and i've never used a RUU, so i fear i would have given wrong infos
anyway your way is the easiest one
Maybe he flashed the recovery as a kernel, so when he installs ROM and reboots it just boots recovery again.

RUU is Rom Update Utility, so a tool that you run on pc with the device connected that restores devices "as new"...
you need to find a ruu that matches the main number you get with the command Mr Hofs posted before

where is my main number? where am i suppost to write command?
if it is like: in fastboot select getvar select version-main, then i cant do it, as you can see i havent got getvar in my fastboot menu
No, you have to install fastboot on your pc and run the command there... Search a guide about how to setup fastboot on pc...

If you can enter fastboot, flash latest twrp recovery, nuke everything and sideload a rom/put a rom in external sd and flash from there... Should work...

Hold down the power button and the vol. up button for 20 seconds or so.
As soon as it goes dead, switch from vol. up to vol. down.
Fastboot is where you are now.

And then the post above my last one.
Do what @lukes91 said and use ADB to fix it.
