Hi,
I have posted this over in the One XL board but it doesn't seem too active so I thought as the One XL is similar to the One X maybe someone here could help me. If double posting is against the rules Admins please delete this post.
Hi, my wife has a HTC one xl and it is stock. Recently it has started to go into a boot loop and it will not boot up. She has since bought a new phone but would like to recover SMS messages from her mother who has only recently died. I have experience in rooting devices and installation of custom Roms but I don't know where to start with this and don't want to lose the data. I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader but it doesn't seem to work. I have attached photo's of the various screens but when I select the option to boot into recovery I get two green circular arrows and another pointing down for a short time then it goes back into the boot loop (Image below). Is there a way to get this to boot up without losing the data/SMS messages? Thanks.

Hello everyone,
First, I would like to thanks everyone who can contribute or help out with this issue that I've been dealing with all day (literally spending the past 7 hours on forums browsing and searching - wish I can say that this is an overstatement)...but in the end, I still have yet to find a solution so now I turn to you guy....and if not obvious already, I'm a super noob at all this as well as any attempt to use the adb/sdk program
Here's the problem: (I'll try to make it as simple and put the most relevant info on here)
I have a Inspire 4g/Desire HD rooted with S-off that was working fine w/ CM7 until last night...phone just started to act up and restarting by itself and ended up being stuck on the endless blue loop CM7 flashscreen
due to my carelessness and having a old back up, I was just decided to format everything format data/cache, re-flashed the cm7 rom and then recover with the old back up (all done in recovery)
however...here's where the problem starts: (i'm guessing it's likely d/t my bad back-up)
on restart, I am "stuck" at the white/htc screen - I have to hard reset (battery out) everytime
HBOOT is still functional - so I know i haven't bricked my phone yet...so...i tried going back to recovery, but this time i passes the white/htc screen, but briefly goes into the green circle with a down arrow and then permanently to the red caution triangle with the exclamation mark....so I was thinking the recovery must of crapped out on me....(factory reset via hboot was non-functional either, similar result: green circle --> resets to htc/white screen)
Thus, I tried doing an "Clean" recovery using STOCK ATT roms renamed to PD98IMG.ZIP on my SD card (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959&highlight=Stock+Rom)...however, it always fails to unzip the system portion (tried with various other "clean stock" roms also, same unzipping problem) - this led me to do some more forum hunting in which that I might have a faulty CWM
So it led me to the discovery of the Android Flasher utility application where I have attempted to flash a new CWM to the phone - however, android flasher doesn't "detect" my device - so I followed the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737728 to have my phone recognized by my computer...i attempted to flash CWM again onto the phone via android flasher...but no luck, I'm still getting a "device not plugged in or driver not installed" message...
I am now exhausted and out of ideas...(not to mention angry/mad at myself)
Thanks again for all your helps/comments, I really appreciates it.

HI,
I have an HTC One x by ATT I was had activated it to use on the straight talk network. It worked fine as far as calls and texting, but I could never get the right configuration to work as far as the APN . I believe it had something to do with ATT APN settings with the lock symbol. Anyway I found a tutorial on youtube to unlock my bootloader and followed his instructions verbatim. The final thing was to reboot into a recovery mode and install a root program I had copied on the phone. After the reboot it froze on the splash screen with the red text and then started loop booting. I really wood like to restore back to factory original but seems like no matter what Ive tried I cant get it restored. Any ideas thanks
wrong forum this is for international and not att htc one XL

I Have the following issue:
Some days ago my phone started to act weirdly, was getting error messages of all my apps that stopped working. After some searching on the internet I thought the best would be to do a factory reset using the boot menu.
I tried recovery first but this only gave the red triangle with a red exclamation mark. Booted back up but error messages kept spamming.
So then I tried to do a factory reset in the same menu, this started out well but when the loading was done the phone was stuck on the htc-logo screen. I had it there for some hours, but without any results.
I tried this process agqin, but no other result.
I tried some things listed on forums here and there but since I have not ever put the phone in developer mode I cannot get the PC to recognize my phone.
I read somewhere to flash with my SD-card but I did not found a full tutorial on that (considering I am a noob on all this).
The phone just turned 1y old and I really need one for work and other stuff so I am also wondering if there even is a way, if there is not you can give me the hard truth and I will order a new one. But would be stupid to not have tried all the options and found out later it could be fixed easily.
Anyway thanks in advance look forward to your replies

have you unlocked your bootloader with HTCDEV and are you able to get in to fastboot?
if so you could flash TWRP and restore with a stock backup.
if not and you aren't able to get the device to be dectected by a computer, you may have to contact HTC for a repair.
I had the exact same problem as you and I tried a million different things but then this man saved my life and came to my rescue!

Go to my thread and do those steps as i did and get your phone back
So my phone has been this way since Nov 2017, there are files that I need access to and would truly appreciate some guidance
I was experiencing issues with the bluetooth on nextbit previously so I installed a new rom after flashing the device. Once the rom also gave issues I decided to revert back to the Nextbit 7 OS and one fine day when the phone restarted it wouldnt go past the "nextbit" splash screen. Tried installing the OS again however the PC wouldnt recognize the phone anymore, switched laptop to a Mac and got the same issue
Any help would be greatly appreciated
It wont let me post a URL link. I have taken www out hopefully it allows to view the video, shows exactly whats wrong

It looks there's something wrong with the system boot, since it's reaching the blue boot-animation and it stays there (probably before loading the adb stuff). Fortunately u did unlock the bootloader and that annoying initial screen may be helpful this time, did u try to reach recovery or fastboot mode from there (pressing some volume key)? It's pretty hard for it to be broken there too and in such a case I would think about some hardware fault. Anyway from the recovery (I hope u have TWRP, if not install it with fastboot) you should be able to do whatever u want, including recovering your files or (re)installing a rom
Hi there, I've been lurking for hours in the forums and I figured that I can't seem to find the solution to my problem
I have an OG Pixel XL, I opened chrome earlier to browse about a company, when I opened google chrome, the screen froze and there's some weird rectangle pixel all over the place. I long pressed the power button and now my phone is stuck on a boot loop. I've tried going to recovery mode but it just goes back to the boot loop. I've installed adb and fastboot to flash a factory image (I think) but it just says that OEM needs to be unlocked. I can't seem to find a way to unlock OEM and now I'm stuck with a phone, out of warranty, in a bootloop, forever.
Any help and ideas to fix my phone would be greatly appreciated

In the future, you should ask this in your device's forum - you asked this in the Pixel 2 XL forum - as solutions to problems may differ from device to device.
In any event if you cannot access the recovery via keypress or command, you're stuck. You'll have to pay for the privilege of having the device repaired. If you CAN get into the recovery, you can sideload a full OTA image, which supposedly bypasses the OEM lock on the bootloader, to restore the device.
