[Q] Please help, i almost destroyed my device!

Hello,
I previously had installed Maximus 2.2 on my HTC one x and i was using it for months. In recent days i decided to update it to version 12. I didn't pay required attention, i made a mess of it. With S-ON and HBOOT_0.96.0000, CID: HTC_044, i tried to install a JellyBean rom, i know i ruined everything, but please, i just thought i can update it easily just like before, but i did not consider the requirements. Please help me and tell me how i can reach the sd card and copy the previous rom into it to correct everything. THX

Do you want to upgrade to Jellybean first ?
Do this fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main

Put the phone in the bootloader and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
The bootloader reboots with a warning...that's oke. It says locked now
Then keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the RUU from the PC . Select the ruu with your right mousebutton and select
Run as administrator (or similar)
This will flash the phone to 100% stock. After the ruu you boot the phone and check in the settings menu for official OTA and continue to install them. It should get you all the way up to JB
:thumbup:

Oh god, i can't believe that i connected beats headset to Nokia x2 to listen to music, i want my One x back.

Return To Stock LOCKED and S-ON

Please note you must be bootloader unlocked and S-OFF for this to work
you are doing this at your own risk dont blame me if something goes wrong i have tested this twice one on CM and once on Stock
that being said
This guide will help you return to stock un-rooted, locked, and s-on in the event you ever need to use the warranty
You will need the decrypted RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...pers.com/showpost.php?p=46153741&postcount=31
I recommend copy and paste for the command so you don’t mistype something
This will lock your bootloader and make it show LOCKED not RELOCKED
While still in the bootloader type
Code:
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once in ruu mode *blackscreen with HTC text* its time to flash the decrypted ruu make sure you have placed the rom in the folder and named it Rom.zip
Run following command
Code:
Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
It appears some people are confused on the following. You must confirm your device successfully flashes the ruu before contiuning
It could work the first time or could error out multiple times typically it fails the first time then completes the 2nd bu not a promise also make sure you have checked the md5 hash
You will most likely get the following error
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
Don’t worry this is normal (typically fails the first time) (also it could boot you out of ruu mode when it does) just make sure your phone still shows its in ruu mode
If it is not just retype
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then re-run the command
Code:
Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
Once it finishes the phone will stay in ruu mode simply type
Code:
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point you are stock unrooted and bootloader locked but still s-off to change this type
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
you should get a message back saying
“(bootloader) writesecureflag: partitions signature pass
OKAY [ 1.666s]
finished. total time: 1.666s”
now type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and verify you are now S-ON andtype
Code:
fastboot reboot
and your phone will load to stock
note this will be stock version m7wlv_1.10.605.8 so you will need to take the ota to update to 605.10
hope this helps

Thanks for this!

I need HELP! I read the BIG RED PRINT about being bootloader unlocked but I still foolishly locked the bootloader prior to running this......I'm still S-Off but it will not flash the RUU. And now it is in a boot loop into recovery. I've tried running the lock unlock ADB scipt but I can't seem to get the device to connect in ADB mode.....fastboot works fine.
Hopefully I don't have a nice looking paper weight.
and BTW the reason i locked the BL is because I was reading other info on the web ( Youtube ) and got in a hurry.....LET THIS BE A REMINDER.

You do need to lock the bootloader at one point in my guide
What command did you run to lock the boot loader
Adb only works when booted in to a os
My advice is boot into bootloader then flash a custom recovery and flash cm from cm run unlock command in adb and try again following my directions

Thanks for the assit. I ran fastoot oem lock as the first step. I saw a couple of vids on youtube with those instructions. I will try your suggestions and see what happens. I left the phone at work cause I have iMac at home and I figured it was a paper weight at this point. Hopefully I will have better luck tomorrow.

just run this command from an
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
that should make it read unlocked again i ran fastboot oem lock when i was first testing and that command got me back

Thank you for the reply. I used rummrunners method for unlock and S-Off. My HTC One is a Verizon model and not unlockable on the HTCdev website. so I don't have a token.

@tpierce67 - did you try the echo command he mentioned a few posts back to get it to read unlocked again? Edit: I think it just now clicked (re-read through for the 3rd time) why you probably weren't able to run that command... no custom recovery, no rom, no adb...
@bmt626 - so I take it SuperCID isn't necessary before running this?

Does this only work if you have the unlock token? or are you able to use this method if you used RumRunner Method to get S-Off?

And it worked for you without having the unlock token? My goal is to simply have the option to return to S-ON stock Locked in case I ever needed it. I used RumRunner to unlock my device.

I was able to do this without issues.. but It's showing tampered and I have no custom recovery?
Am I screwed for now? Or is there anything additional I can do? PC won't read it.. and it won't boot..
I have the option for recovery but it kicks me back out to fastboot..

The Echo command is an ADB command and I can't get that far. I'm running out of options.

@bmt626 - thanks again for this... I'm about to run it, but have one random, anal question... do you see any reason at all that I would need my sim in and the phone activated for this to work? I can't think of one, but just wanted to throw it out there to make myself feel better before running this

[HELP] How to unlock a relocked HTC 10

Hi guys, I hope someone brighter than me has an answer to following:
I ran HTC 10 with systemless root and HTC unlocked bootloader and wanted to try to take Nougat OTA.
This failed with red exclamation mark, I then flashed stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and tried the Nougat RUU downloadable from HTC.
This then worked and my phone is on Nougat alright, but now I want my bootloader unlocked again for twrp and root.
Trying the HTC unlock method results in this:
C:\android-tools>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.007s
Doesn't work anymore??
So, I thought let's try Sunshine.apk again, it worked great on my M8, but this seem to force stop on Nougat when it tries to gain temproot.
I am lost... Anyone who knows a solution please?

I have not tried it, but I once read that you should insert the normal command when you unlocked it the first time, ie with the $ fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and it happens the same way, if you do not have the file and you are looking for the OEM ID with $ fastboot oem get_identifier_token, you may need to activate the developer options to unlock OEM and that is your problem.

From bootloader, that's the way I was used to and it has always worked that way anyways.
Are you saying it should be done from download mode?

I indeed tried with the original Unlock_code.bin file first, but it refuses to do it complaining about 'not being able to flash that partition with S-on'...
I did enable in developer options OEM unlock checkbox also. Still no joy on current Nougat ROM.

Kind of an OT question, but how did you relock your HTC 10? Was it as simple as typing "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot?

In desperate need of help please !!!!

Just brought a HTC one M9 off eBay, its in excellent cosmetic condition, i'll get the basics out of the way quickly, it is already S-OFF, super CID, 401 WWE edition firmware, but the bootloader is locked, now I am very used to HTC one M7s and M8, but this download mode rubbish is all new to me, the problem is, when I power on the phone, instead of it booting normally, it just loops into the bootloader, ive uploaded some picts for you too see.
now when I enter download mode, there is no fastboot in the available options on the phone, so I cant issue any fastboot commands, like to unlock the bootloader, do I have any other options ? I also have access to the basic recovery mode, the HTC one, not TWRP or anything like that.
Also, does anyone know where I can find the 4.xx.401.x RUU for these phones, its not on the HTC website ?
Please help, or is this a lost phone and should I just send it back ?

For fastboot, treat download mode as fastboot. If you're having trouble with using download mode to flash something or boot something, use bootloader mode. For more details about RUUS, unlocking the bootloader, and using S-OFF to your advantage, take a look at the read me thread stickied at the top of the General thread.
(Note: You may or may not find RUUS for your phone, as they got leaked somehow.)

Try doing the same in bootloader mode, and check your drivers and executables.
The easiest way to get drivers is to install HTC Sync Manager and then immediately uninstall it.

Also, looking at the CID, the seller probably tried to flash stock firmware and locked the bootloader. You'll need to clean up after him.

thanks, ive installed htc sync manager now, also, my adb and fastboot maybe out of date, im using the 15 seconds install one, but had another look at it and saw its from 2013, do you know where i can find the latest versions ?, ive been using a Samsung for the last year or so which I absolutely hated, so went back to HTC, so you understand if im a little out of touch.

Oh well, wont even boot into download mode anymore, tried to flash the developer edition RUU, but says the battery is below 30%, so when I power down the phone to charge it, as soon as I plug the charger in, its booting itself back to the bootloader, not sure if its actually charging whilst its in this more, but id say the phone is pretty much fubar.

Just a stab in the dark but did you go into developer options and check oem unlocking?

As mentioned before, I can only suggest you to read the ReadMe thread. Of course, you can't flash a dev edition RUU in the current state. You're using the wrong MID.

I couldnt even get into download mode any longer after I reset the phone and tried to reboot back to download mode, I got as far as the black screen with the silver HTC logo and then it would just boot back to the bootloader, couldnt even charge the phone, everytime I powered off and plugged in the charger it would switch itself on, and the same for recovery, so just gave up and sent it back to her.

M8 won't flash RUU

Hello everyone,
- i'm sry if i posted abt the same issue but i managed to gather more information abt the situation
- 1st of all everytime i reboot i find the same apps installed , pics and missed calls no matter how many times i erase all that and if i installed new apps every reboot it's not there, I wanted to get it back to stock as new but i couldn't and here what i have tried :-
1-couldn't flash stock or custom recovery [failed (Remote : Not allowed)] cuz bootloader is locked, And i couldn't unlock bootloader .
-(after getting unlock code from HTCdev.com and installing it and after selecting yes on the phone to unlock bootloader, phone just reboots)
2-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) Wizard while phone was on fastboot mode
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!345&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-Phone couldn't boot into bootloader while on fastboot mode so it reboots regularly.
3-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) wizard while phone was on
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!344&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-did the first steps ok but again when wizard is waiting for bootloader while phone was in fastboot mode, it just reboot regularly.
4-tried renaming another (4.25.651.14) RUU to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on sd-card and went to Hboot.
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!342&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-after clicking yes to confirm the update, Phone rebooted in the middle of the steps .
5-tried flashing same 0P6BIMG.zip from recovery mode.
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!347&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-after 3 mins of hope crushed by verifying update package.... - Installation aborted....
6-tried flashing RUU.zip via fastboot
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!346&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-phone just reboots regularly when trying to reboot RUU .
7-I contacted HTC support and after givin 'em alot of images and getvar they told me that my phone was modified in two ways (s-off) &
(Recovery tool) , They are telling me that (i must install the android recovery tool once again before proceeding) !! and i need to search on this site (Xda) for the stock recovery, but i think i have the stock recovery tool, and i can't flash any recovery because bootloader is locked, So is there any other way to flash recovery.
-here is some photos and getvar

Since you are s-off, try this method to unlock bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Although I don't see the point in flashing stock recovery. It won't help your present situation (return to full stock).
What recovery is currently on the phone, stock or TWRP? What happens when you try to select Recovery from the bootloader menu?

Can't see what you are trying to flash. It says "This item may not exist or is no longer available".
All Sprint RUUs are available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Thanks for the fast reply

-I was flashing 3.30.651.2 RUU.exe while phone was on bootloader mode, The thing is if the phone is on bootloader mode and wizard is showing that it's (Waiting for bootloader...) ,then phone reboots regularly and nothing changed
-And if phone was just on with activated usb debugging and i opened RUU.exe, the first step is to get to bootloader mode and then will send all the data of the RUU, Then it will show it's (Waiting for bootloader....) again, But because the phone is already in bootloader mode, The phone will just reboot as i showed in step 3, so when wizard is trying to go bootloader mode while phone is on bootloader mode that's what make it doesn't work.
-This is another link of Step 2 (Flashing 3.30.651.2 RUU.exe) while on fastboot mode

-I read abt Nandroid backup and how it takes an exact image of everything on the phone, could it be that someone did that backup and every time phone reboots it restores that backup, and if so how to know if something like that is activated.

Does the phone work normally in OS (but just won't wipe properly)? If you are trying to return to "stock", than what condition is it in now? Is it stock ROM, or otherwise?

So I'm confused if you have stock recovery installed already; why you are trying to install stock recovery, or what that will do for you.

No, that isn't how a nandroid works. You need a custom recovery like TWRP to make a nandroid. And it will only restore if you manually boot into TWRP, and restore it. None of it happens "automatically" like you are describing.

Any type of error messages when you try to run the command to unlock the bootloader using the command prompt method?

-yes it works fine in OS but won't wipe at all, I can install\uninstall apps , delete or add pictures but as soon the phone is rebooted everything gets back the way it was,
-I don't know if it has stock Rom installed on it, I just want to delete everything and start over with unmodified OS

-sry for the confusion, I just thought if i could flash stock one by myself i could get around this situation somehow and at the same time the HTC support told me i don't have Stock recovery and i should flash stock one as the first step.

HTC support is wrong on that (or they are misunderstanding). Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. Re-installing the stock recovery isn't going to change or help anything.
Based on the widespread (largely storage-related) issues you've described (wiped user data reappearing, bootloader won't unlock despite multiple methods, RUUs won't flash) I tend to think this is an emmc failure, which you can't do much about. And based on the wide variety of options/workarounds you've tried so far (and failed) I don't personally see much (if any) options moving forward, unfortunately. If I think of anything else to try, I'll certainly let you know.

Thanks for your time and effort

I've got the same issue, it's eMMC failure and you have to replace with the new one.

You can't trust what is on the back cover. We've often seen these swapped to remove US carrier logos. All indications on your getvar point to the "internals" of the phone (which is the important factor - and what you need to go by) being the Sprint version M8. It's very common to see the Sprint version to have its back cover replaced in order to remove the Sprint logo and sell it as an "unbranded" version (which it really is not).

I'm not really a "hardware" guy. I can never seem to perform any hardware-related repairs on small electronics; despite being an engineer (very technically-minded) and all-around very careful about doing things (too obsessive about the minutia, in fact). But I have to say, changing emmc seems really delicate, and will not turn out well unless you are already experienced with this type of thing, and good at it. As far as I can tell, it involves heating up the chip, then installing the new one and "reflowing" the solder points. All of which looks really tricky, with a bunch of things that can go wrong along the way.
Might be better to have a repair shop do it, or change the whole motherboard, if you really want to go through the effort of hardware repairs to get this phone working again.
If you do change the emmc (or have a shop do it) I would only recommend using one intended for the Sprint M8. If you look at the thread NoIP linked, you will see I'm trying to help him with a weird emmc-motherboard combo, which I am not sure is fixable.

Thanks mate for explaining that
