[Q] HTC One X bricked after trying to restore to stock or fixable ?

Hiya, call me a noob, a super noob perhaps but I was very new to the whole android custom rom experience. I was running viper custom sense rom but as it had become buggy I decided to try and revert back to stock. Following guides I read on here and saw on YouTube I ended wiping the phone and re-locking the boot loader and flashing the stock recovery however I didn't realise that there were specific ruu needed for different models. I live in the UK and have the phone on the network three so I'm assuming its sim locked to h3g. I don't know what to do (if anything) now to get my phone working as I cannot unlock the boot loader to try installing a custom rom so don't know what to do... Is this phone fixable or now a full blown brick ? Thanks Aaron

Why can't you unlock your bootloader again?
Just perform the same steps as when you first unlocked it

[Q] Bootloader Wont Unlock Using HTCDev (Multiple Attempts)

I just followed all of the steps to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev, but I'm having trouble in getting it to an unlocked state. Every time I flash the unlock_code.bin in fastboot, it prompts me if I want to unlock the bootloader, I select yes and the device formats and restarts. After I go through the initial setup again and enable usb debugging to reboot into fastboot, the status of the phone is still locked. Is there some step I missed to unlock this phone or is there a problem with HTCdev?

I had trouble when I unlocked mine, but not with what you're describing. When I received my initial unlock code, I had done the HTCdev method with choosing one (M8) for my phone and the file would not flash. I re-ran HTCdev choosing "all other devices" and everything worked like a charm. Worth a shot.

I ended up getting it working by downloading the latest software update and trying again. I was just trying to get a GPE rom on here quickly because sense was aggravating me so much. Hopefully this helps anyone else that ends up having this problem!

Remember to get s-off first

It sounds like that is already bootloader unlocked. Boot into recovery and see if it's stock or not. If recovery is stock, you need to install twrp or cwm then you can flash a rom. If one of those is already there you're ready to flash a rom already. Instructions on installing recoveries and roms, etc are here in the forums if you do a quick search.

thankssomuch
awesome..after updating to 4.4.4 ,everything worked like charm....thanks a zillion:good::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Q] Got so far.. Whats next?

Hi all
Im unbranding my O2 UK locked M8 to an unbranded UK one (with offical Htc 501 rom), so Ive done quite alot of reading around and followed guides
- Ive SIM Unlocked my device
- Ive successfully unlocked bootloader through HTCDev using Adb
- Ive installed and am running TWRP 2840
- Ive rooted with SuperSU
From what ive read.. AM I Right in thinking the next steps are:
S-Off and SuperCID with Sunshine (Firewater is no more)
Install Stock 1.54.401.10 through TWRP
Install Stock Recovery
Reboot
UPdate OTA to 501.
Any advice guides or help will be greatly appeciated.
Cheers all

1. S-OFF
2. Change CID to HTC__001
3. Flash 4.16.401.10 RUU
4. Done, no more o2 gumpf!

Thanks for the guide, I installed Sunshine 284 (latest, but it says that its not compatible with my device yet and theyre working on it,
My device is running LP 501 from O2, so maybe I need to wait for SDunshine 3.
Oh well
Ive done a factory reset and Ill just use the phone until SS 3 comes out.. or is there another way to S-Off from LP 501.
What effect will Factory reseting at this point have have...
I can still see SuperSU in my apps, but Sunshine app has gone..
I also assume the bootloader unlock is a permanent thing, so I just pickup where i left off ...
S-Off

If you're on 5.0 now then you'll have to wait for SS to be updated, hopefully it won't be too long! A factory reset now will just reset the phone, nothing else. And yes, bootloader will remain unlocked unless you lock it again

Cheers. I did try the last firewater update, but adb reboot, just restarts the phone. I was thinking of manually getting into fastboot then taking it from there, but didnt want to chance a brick
Ill just wait for SS 3
Do you know.. since rooting und unlocking the M8... its running better than it was, faster and smoother...

Verizon HTC 10 S Off help?

Hi, I need some help with decrypting my device so I can s off it. Im new to rooting and am unsure whether the videos on the unlocked 10 will work for me, and even then S Off brings up what is in my linked image. Should I proceed? What is this partition thing? Please help.
tfw cant post the ****ing screenshot, How do I show you guys the thing?

I just used Sunshine to s-off mine. It was $25 for the license but it worked flawlessly and took no time. It was worth it to me just to remove all the Verizon apps, I haven't even touched any custom roms or kernels yet.

I think the only way to decrypt your device is a full factory reset -- that's what Verizon claims, anyway. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-204803/
I guess you need to S-OFF a Verizon variant before you can install TWRP? Not sure. Regardless, one way to do this is back up your system using TWRP, apply S-OFF via Sunshine, format data in TWRP, and then restore from your backup. Still, you might be able to backup with TWRP after S-OFF, then format data, then restore the backup.
If you're new to rooting, be extra careful with your phone after you S-OFF, because it becomes really easy to brick the device. I nearly ruined my HTC One M7 by applying the wrong firmware.

Recovery Issue

Hey
So i have this phone HTC DESIRE 816 ASIA dual sim and i am so new to htc because this was my dad's phone. As soon as i had my hands on it, i chose to root it and have super user access. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader but the rooting process was not so successful. I had also managed to install twrp recovery.
But now i cant install ota updates because it boots into twrp and not into stock recovery. So i tried to install stock recovery i got from one of htc desire 816 dual sim thread and tried installing it and locked the bootloader.
Now the problem is, bootloader status is 'relocked', phone's software is 'modified' and entering recovery forces me into a red triangle screen deadend.
Help me to overcome this so that i can have my ota updates install again. A step by step help will be great, because i am so bad at this stuff.
Also how do i unlock bootloader again when i have relocked it. ??
Every help will be appreciated..
