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
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
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.
Hello all,
I have a stock HTC One X that keeps rebooting.
I am attaching a a picture of the screen that comes up with the three androids starts with ***LOCKED***
Can anyone pls help ? and how can I prevent this from happening ?
I had bought the app 'TASKER', could this have caused it.
Thanks
Do a factory reset, otherwise send it for warranty
Tried factory reset from the ***LOCKED*** screen

Hi Mr Hofs,
I tried the factory reset from the ***LOCKED*** screen, that did not work it kept rebooting and unfortunately, I do not have warranty.
Thanks
So it boots to the BootLoader Screen, this is a good thing, so its not 'dead' ... yet
As you say you have no warranty, First thing I would try is unlocking it ... your in for a ride
go to http://www.htcdev.com/ create an account, and follow the steps for unlocking the device
The fact that you can get into the boot loader means you should be able to generate your bin code, to unlock the thing
If you do manage to get it unlocked, I would follow the instructions in this forum for flashing a custom rom onto the thing
you start by unlocking, rooting, then CWM Recovery
Once you have that done, flash a custom rom, such as IceColdJelly which is what I use
Hopefully this works for you, Its already busted, no harm in trying
Good luck to you!

Hey Everybody ....
Im Just Looking For A Box That Support Erase, Full Flash And Unlocked My HOX

Why is it stuck there ? Are you on full stock with a locked bootloader (does it literally say LOCKED ?)
If so try factory reset.
Otherwise this might help

I Cant Do Factory Rest ( Nothing Happened Just Reboot Into Fastboot Menu )
But Theres A New Option In Fastboot Menu Called ( Security Reset ) When I Pressed ( KeyCard Checked Failed )
What I Do ?
Sorry For My English
Hmm the only option you have is to try and unlock the bootloader ! Could be a partial bootloader brick.....going from unlocked to locked does not suppose to happen !
Put the unlock code.bin file in the fastboot folder and flash it with this command
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
That should bring up the menu on the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Securit reset means that you've messed up some really low level software.
It was in the s-off thread also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057105&page=21
Matt never got it unlocked again so he just sent it to a repair center. I guess you must do the same.

Hello,
My friend's HTC M9 got bricked during the new Nougat update (was turned off during update).
Ever since it is bootlooping, in can put it in Bootloader and Download mode but can't load it to recovery mode.
Tried to flash the stock recovery via download mode but the phone is S-ON and locked.
What are my options in getting the phone back to life (gave up on saving any of the data on the device)?
Any help will be appreciated.
P.S.
First time handeling HTC but have a lot of experience with nexus devices
Device info:
HTC M9 himauhl
S-ON,
Locked,
OS - 3.35.401.32
You need to run the ruu.exe but I don't know if one exists for your version. You can flash any 3.35.401.xx ruu but those that aren't "xx" must match. Not sure you can flash a signed zip in s-on state..
If the ruu.exe doesn't exist then you'll either have to wait for it to be released or rtm for repair.
There is no actual way to know exactly how buggered the phone is because it died in the middle of a flash process. It is very possible it died just as it was flashing recovery, explaining why there isn't one, but I wouldn't like to bet money on it, or it being recoverable at all.
Beamed in by telepathy.

You've access to download mode, so you should be able to use the SD card method of applying the matching RUU. Check out the readme thread for instructions and the necessary file.
Thanks for your help shivadow and computerslayer,
I will look at the RUU method and try to learn more about it and replay if it worked or not.
I have the same problem and have tried everything but it's still bricked. If I send it in for repair will they charge me? My phone is out of warranty (it's 1.5 years old). Since their update caused this problem you would think they wouldn't make me pay. Thoughts?

If you unlocked bootloader, the warranty is void anyway.
Try flashing the stock rom which doesn´t need a unlocked bootloader via htc_fastboot.exe. Place the stock rom in your sd-card. Then in bootloader it will say directly "Do you want to flash xxx.img".

Those are two different methods: The SD card method and the htc_fastboot method (which requires a PC).
And it's actually the other way round. The htc_fastboot method requires a locked or at least re-locked bootloader whereas the SD card method can be used with an unlocked bootloader, as well.

Well, I've pretty much managed to screw up my HTC 10. I'm on the latest 3.16.401.2 WWE, S-ON, with the bootloader relocked and stock recovery. I can access the download mode, the bootloader and the stock recovery, but I can't unlock the bootloader since I can't active the OEM unlock option. The phone doesn't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop at the white HTC logo.
Using the OTA available for WWE gives me the Status 7 fail error. Is there anything else I can do, besides from waiting for the Oreo WWE RUU?
Thanks in advance.

I won't even ask how or why....
But yes you could S-off or wait for an RUU to magically appear.
Those are the two options.

It's pretty complicated, but long story short, I was stupid.
I can't S-Off without being able to boot the phone, so well, I'll probably just wait for a RUU.
HTC 10 boot loop
Hello guys,
my wife yesterday tried to update OTA (our htc 10 are completely stock) to OREO from Nougat 2.41.401.41. Something went wrong and it's stuck in a boot loop. I can get in bootloader and tried to install the ota, which I downloaded, manually from SD card, but after verifying it says "error: partition has unexpected content". Is there a way to get the phone back working even with data loss? Thanks really for the help, the phone has never been modified, I am getting crazy reading the forums but I am a total noob ?
i have seen i need a ruu, possibly zip since I can't boot and activate USB debug. Can someone please share a run.zip link at least equal to 2.41.401.41 (European)? Thank you very much
I have the same issue, HTC 10 in a boot loop after applying the OTA Oreo update. I'm able to get into bootloaders and such, but i need the data thats on the phone... Allready tried taking out the SIM and SD-card. Does anyone know if this can be fixed?
Same problem here!
After Reading what the rest of you lot mentioned here, i have the exact same problems! Installed the update from Nougat to Oreo, and the phone went into bootloader! I was stupid enough to delete most of it through TWRP, and even dumber to RELOCK it so that TWRP is out of the Picture. Download mode appears, but the recovery just brings me back to bootloader. Oh yes, and the OS is missing.
and fastboot / adb wont recognize the HTC Connected to the PC anymore.. Guess this is a total Brick? should i send it back since i have a warranty? Will they be able to fix this?
I too was stupid and relocked it while reverting to stock. At this point I had also flashed the stock recovery and recovered to what turned out to be a non-functional backup. (Stuck in boot-loop)
Thankfully Fastboot did however still work while in download mode, and I was able to unlock it again by flashing the same unlock_token.bin that I have kept since I unlocked it the first time, slapped in twrp again and I was good for another go.
M8 can you help out linking some procedure for a noob like me? Should I use a ruu? I am completely stock
I'm no expert in this my self just FYI, but installing a RUU is usually a straight forward process.
You need to download a ruu for your particular CID (Depens on where the phone was sold and what -if any- carrier the phone is locked to.)
I have an european unlocked one so the RUU I used was this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504
You can find more in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297
Download the ruu (just short of 2GB in size) , rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip and put it in the root of an SD-card and insert it into the phone.
Reboot it into download mode by holding power+volume down until the grey HTC logo appears.
It should now detect the zip file in the sd-card and ask you to install it. Press volume up to confirm.
This will re-install everything (System image, recovery, firmware etc) all existing data gets destroyed.
Worked like a charm for me, and was able to do a Oreo OTA right away after the first boot.
Thanks a lot for your help, I'll give you a feedback asap.

I have an Indian HTC 10 (SD 820) full stock, no modifications. One day the phone froze and i restarted it and from that day it hasn't booted up. The htc logo shows up while it vibrates, then again the same screen. Stuck in a bootloop. When i get to bootloader and boot to recovery, the grey htc logo comes for 1 second and then it goes back to the original boot animation and it loops again until the phone dies. Whenever i plug my phone to the charger, it immediately gets stuck into the boot loop. Please help me !! Any fix please !

Hold the power button and the volume down button to reboot to download mode. From there you can flash an RUU.zip to fix it.
What is needed to direct you to the proper RUU.zip to download and flash is for you to boot to download mode and post here what it says next to "OS"
