[Q] Bricked or what?

So today I tryed to install .sense 2.0.1 with auto installer, and i got stucked at htc logo on boot. I can access bootloader, but can't access recovery.
What should I do to get recovery back?
P.S. my phone is S-ON

s-0n with htc dev unlocked or just s-on? if just s-on try running a ruu. if dev unlocked try to force a new recovery using fastboot

[Q] Boot loader

Hi. I have a Htc one x that was locked to Three. I got unlock code which worked now on Orange ( EE). I tried to unlock bootloader with no success. Do i have to do something because the phone was locked to Three. Please help as i want to root phone.

In what way did it not work ? Assume you followed the HTCdev method.

I don't know if it resets the phone locked to 3 again when you unlock the bootloader, because unlocking the bootloader will reset the phone back to stock and i can't tell you if your carrier unlock code will still be active after this.
But what did you try to unlock the bootloader anyway ?

Thanks for the quick reply. I used the HTC Development method.Is there a way to root without the dev bit.

No, unlocking the bootloader must be done with the htcdev site.....did you get the unlock code.bin file ?

Mr hofs is right mate use htcdev site, plenty of guides knocking around on xda, I was locked to three but followed all the steps unlocked bootloader rooted, changed hboot and flashed a new Rom, daunting at first but so worth it you will see the difference.....good luck!

Another tip mate for the whole root thing use hasoon2000's all in one tool kit really easy if Ur not at ease with the whole adb thing cheers

I would learn adb/fasrboot....much easier to get out of trouble !
Example :
You use a toolkit to unlock and flash a custom recovery, for instance TWRP. Then you make your nandroid backup and running custom roms.....all no problem then you need to return to stock and need to flash the boot.emmc.win (the kernel/boot.img) but the toolkits only supports boot.img file .......
Get the problem there ?

Thats true buddy, I admittedly had to use fastboot when returning to stock for an OTA update a while back (it didn't like cwm) so returned to stock with stock recovery and then later flashed another rom etc....I stand corrected - IF u need to return to stock!

I get ya ... no worries

I used the toolkit originally but learnt commands now. You then understand what your actually doing to your phone and are less likely to brick it or at least have a better chance to fix it if it does go Pete tong.

Even though we have the same processor and stuff im not sure how rom compatability works between the two phones. AFAIK the kernels aren't built EXACTLY for the vivow_ct even though we use the same source (maybe idk what im talking about someone verify me)
anyways make sure you're running the correct hboot and proper recovery.
If you do have a custom recovery, try booting into it or go into the bootloader (press vol down and power) and go back to stock from an ruu

Are you S-on or S-off? What ROM were you trying to load? More info is needed than what you gave. The more info the more helpful we could be

If you are s-on you need to flash the boot.img... from your pc search in the ROM a file named boot.img and flash it vía fastboot mode . then use fastboot flash boot boot.img , reboot and let it boot

[Q] Bootloader accidentally RELOCKED

My HTC ONE Verizon I have accidentally relocked and cannot flash a working recovery. S-OFF. It happened by accident while I was using WinDroid universal toolkit and hit relock by mistake, I have CWM recovery on it but I can't wipe and install a ROM without it freezing. I have tried sideloading liquidsmooth but it stalls at startup. Is there a way to get an unlocked bootloader without installing a ROM? Do I need to use an RUU and if so which one?
Thank you very much in advance.

There is a zip from Scotty's thread on how to lock/unlock using recovery or su commands.

since you are s off you can also use my ruu mode compatible trwp in my ruu thread. that will get you a custom recovery and root back. then run the command to unlock from Scotty's thread.

Do you still have an HTC unlock token? If not go to HTC dev and get one.
