one x for sale bricked, can it be fixed? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Found a One X for sale at a good price however, it has this problem:
This phone was unsuccesfully rooted and now won't power on *Bricked*. Can be identified by computer but won't HBoot
Can this be fixed?
Thanks!
Note: Originally posted this in general section by mistake, please accept my apologies!

Your always going to run a risk of having problems with the phone, but if it truly can be detected by a computer, running an RUU should bring it back up. Are you able to.ask previous owner specific details about what they used to "root" it?

Are we sure there is ONE XL in the UK? not keen on moving it without knowing exactly.
Actually yes, i have had one in here before, but let's be sure then ....
@ the OP, please put your phone in the.bootloader and tell us what's written on top. Does it say EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

Ah yes, then you have to go to the at&t rogers HTC one xl forum ... of flash something from here you might end up with a bricked phone. I suggest that whiskey will move this to the correct forum.
Maybe this can help you

Hey buddy
I also have the UK One XL
Rotting is easy, use the HTC method, it's in this forum just have a quick look
I currently run ViperXL rom but any rom in the Rogers forum here should work
Also my hboot is 1.14 and for me this means no boot/kernel flashing works through recovery so I have to use fastboot
So quick someup:
Use HTC method to unlock bootloader
Fastboot flash recovery (I use twrp)
Flash rom in recovery
If rom fails to boot:
Fastboot flash boot (will be in main directory of the rom you downloaded)
Good luck and have fun buddy
EDIT: Just created a new UK HTC One XL Information/Guide thread, check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35518374

Help me please HTC One x Dead

Hi I have a OX AT&T. I followed a tutorial yesterday. will install the recovery and achieve all good .. after the wipes and install the rom .. when I did reboot. is to become the cel off. no LED light or charge or anything I read you had to let him connected all night and nothing ..
Now the creator of the tutorial said that was only for international HTC and not for at&t.
someone please help me with my phone. I was only 3 days with my new phone and this happens to me :crying:
If you flashed a international ROM , I'm pretty sure that bricks your phone.
You may be out of luck.

More specific details if you want to have any chance of getting any useful help at this point.
Firmware, hboot, what recovery you flashed what Rom you flashed ect..etc...
Chances are you have a paperweight but at least it looks good

Press and hold power button w. Pointer finger, grasping width of the phone with thumb and remaining fingers. Sling hand over shoulder with high rate of velocity, releasing power button and thumb when parallel with line of sight. Rotate body 180 degrees, don't ever look back.

Early new years resolution so no more sarcastic comments. My condolences for another phone down due to a hasty owner and a bad naming strategy from htc.

It's the One XL firmware number. If you were on the most recent version, 2.20, there is no current fix for your predicament. If you were on anything earlier, you may be able to unbrick using the method in the Unbricking Evita thread.
If he had an att one x and it was 4.03 it has to be lower than 2.20 the 4.04 update came with 2.20
You could always try claiming you took one of their ota's and it killed the phone. Did that to sprint and got free replacement.

No need for hostility. I have seen literally hundreds of posts claiming the same thing. If I did break any actual rule I'm sorry. But you don't need to approach people like that. I was just trying to help the guy out instead of giving him crap like some of the others. And until you posted that I was on my way out. So now I bid you farewell

[Q] NEW!

Hello everyone I just got my htc one x plus a few days ago. switching from the iphone 5. basically my question is and im sure everyone has seen this, is can i root my AT&T htc one x plus? can i do it with Windows 8? and what is the best way of doing this? thanks again everybody!
Two things
For rooting the one x plus just go to HTC dev. Com and unlock your bootloader flash a recovery than root or a Rom you have to flash boot img BUT you're in the wrong forum this is the regular one x forum

Follow that link to the correct forum good luck!
Before you go all crazy and root and unlock your bootloader, take a second to ask yourself "Do I know what having root does?" "What is a bootloader?" I'm still relatively new so I was in your spot a couple of months ago, but please take the time to read. If you are ready to flash a ROM make sure you got it from AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL forum, because even though the name is the same, the phones run differently, and flashing a wrong ROM, lets just say don't do it. (COUGH). Just be careful.

How do I move This thread to the one xl forum, or do I have to just start a new one? Im new to the forum so sorry for the dumb question.
Click the tiny orange triangle in upper tight hand corner of your post. In the text field type please move to xxxx and for reason select post moving .
Thread moved bud. Just be mindful where you go posting next time. XDA has done a good job at making sure each specific device has it's own forums.

easy way would be to go to htc's website download the ruu hook your phone to your computer and run the ruu if your phone has supercid and s-on go s-off or you will brick your phone if your phone is stock non rooted you ill be fine

first of all, plug it in and tell me if LED works
and what in the world did you do? this doesn't sound normal AT ALL without user error
For next time, this belongs in Q/A, not General. A mod will probably move it
More information needed. Nobody can help you if that's the only information you're going to provide.

currently cannot access fastboot. no power at all. try to install android sdk , but flash out. do not know what is next.

What software? Software doesn't usually cause bricks all on its own. You're still not providing enough information, you need to let us know the events that lead to this situation. What exactly did you flash?

currently no power and no charge cannot hboot.
shuame.com I think the software think my htc is htc one x.so it flash htc one x to my xl. I do not exactly what has been write into my htc. I assume the htc x hboot and recovery has been writen to my xl. so cannot power on and charge and no hboot as well.
If that's the case, your phone is indeed bricked and only a jtag repair can save it. In future, only ever download stuff from XDA. Ever.
