Relocked - Now wont Unlock again

Hi,
I wanted to debrand by phone so i did the supercid thing to change from t-mob_005 to 1111111, then i installed latest HTC rom (and ver 4.0.4 software number 2.21.401.10) which in turn upgraded hboot to 1.14 and baseband to 1.06s.
Now, ive got my new token id and resubmitted to htcdev and then installed the new unlock_code it gave me back, all seemed to go thru ok, came up with the screen about voiding warranty, use volume to select yes or no, ive selected yes and it then reboots... but still the bootloader says relocked. ive tried the same over and over and even gone thru the process of new token id etc again but still i cant unlock it.
where am i going wrong?

Hi I had the same problem how I got over it is let the phone boot up enable USB debugging and disable fastboot in the power menu then completely power off the phone
Wait a minute then reboot once you get back to the home screen press power and restart holding volume down when you get to the bootloader screen it should now say unlocked once more

Hi,
many thanks, that worked a treat the key was going straight back into bootloader and not letting the phone boot up after running the process.

Your welcome glad I could help

Advice please. I think I just bricked my phone.

I am running the latest AOKP, and was having problems with tiny chat. I decided to reboot into recover and wipe everything. I wiped all the options that allow a wipe, and then went to reboot. It would not reboot - it said there was nothing in /system. Now, if I try to turn it on, it gets to the HTC screen, and nothing.
Did I just brick my phone?

If I try to go into recovery, it says there is no OS installed. I did a backup before, but there is nothing listed if I try to recover. Am I boned? I can still get into recover. Is there a way to get an OS on there?

Does it go into recovery mode or not ?

first of all this is not the right thread to post in.it should be in q & a section.second you wiped everything in the sense you formatted system also i think.obviously phone wont boot up into os if there is no os.try downloading any rom you like.enter bootloader.from there go to recovery and flash the rom you downloaded.thats it now you can boot into the os.

Lock your bootloader through adb and then run a ruu

Also, if a phone is jacked up, and all you can get into is recovery, does the battery still charge? Should I unplug it?

Is there a resource I can look to with instructions for this? Thank you for your reply.

I cant even turn it off, no matter what I do it turns on again.

why is this here ?

I put it in the wrong place. I've reposted it in the Q&A thread. Sorry for threatening your delicate sensibilities while I freak out about bricking my 500 dollar phone.

1. Hold down Power button
2. As soon as the screen goes dark, press and hold the volume down button while it is coming back on. Don't let go of either button until you (hopefully) get to the bootloader.
From there, do this:
fastboot oem lock
At this point, your phone shouldn't be able to boot into anything except the bootloader (which is fine).
Then go and run the RUU.
Good luck!

I am not sure how to run the RUU. I can't get it to the point where I can transfer things to the phone from my computer.

I don't have an optionj for fastboot oem lock

Boot into the bootloader (the white screen)
Use the volume keys to scroll down to "Fastboot" and use the Power button to select that option
Then, after you install the correct fastboot/htc/adb drivers, open up CMD and wherever you have fastboot installed, cd to there and then run on your PC:
fastboot oem lock
Then download an RUU from the forums (such as 1.85).
It is an .exe file
Run the .exe file and follow the directions it gives you.

Thank you very much for helping me. I am in the Fastboot. I have the options of Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and Power Down. I am not sure how to install the correct fastboot/htc/adb drivers.

Install an application called "HTC Sync" from HTC's website.
Then download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
cd to the directory in CMD where that directory was extracted do (in that same directory you should have a fastboot.exe file)
then run that fastboot oem lock command.
then after it reboots the bootloader and it says "RELOCKED" on top, run the RUU.

unlocked bootloader?

I when threw the process of unlocking my bootloader on my moms old HTC inspire phone. My question is how would I know if it worked? I don't think it worked because it still says "locked" when I go to the *vol down + pwr button* menu. I clicked unlock bootloader on the screen. Is this normal? Or did it just not work?

I guess that didn't finish the whole process. When successful, you should read UNLOCKED at the top of the hboot.

Ya I had that feeling. Strange though that I had the pop up on screen and told it to unlock.
Oh well time to try it again.

[Q] Unlocked phone, now I can't boot into bootloader

I was trying to root one of my One x's and got to the unlocked with x-factor, got the phone unlocked. Had an emergency and had to stop at that point. Now I can't boot back into bootloader. Can any one tell what I need to do to get back to the point where i was at so I can finish rooting. Thank you for any help that is given.

Where excactly in the process did you stop? Have you flashed recovery?

You can manually enter bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. When lights stop flashing, release power while continuing to hold volume down. It will go into bootloader.

I got to flash a recovery on the Hasoon2000's HTC One X All-in-One Kit, now when I try to boot up I get the HTC screen with red writing (warning about legal action) and then a black screen and when I plug in the USB and the PC says installing device drivers, it says device driver not successfully installed, that's as far as I can get. Tried to get into bootloader on the Hansoon app and the command prompt says device not found.

Yes it will say device not found because you're not in fastboot or booted into rom with USB debugging on. You need to manually boot to the bootloader.
If your phone is on. Press and hold power. The back home and app switch keys on the bottom of the phone will blink 5 times, the screen will go black. Let go of power and wait 2-3 seconds, then, BEFORE the screen turns back on, press and hold power and volume down until the bootloader comes on
If your phone is off just press and hold volume down and power until it boots into bootloader.
You may have trouble while your phone is plugged in so best to do this with it unplugged.
* On a side note, If you haven't read enough to know how to get into the bootloader you should REALLY not be messing around with your phone.

[Q] Is my phone bricked?

Hey guys,
I found your forum after I gave a guy my phone so he could root it but he couldn't deliver. However, when I got back the phone it took longer to boot up and after it got past the "HTC One X" screen, instead of allowing me to put in my PIN to unlock (as usual), it sent me to a blank screen showing only my current wallpaper and the task bar (with the time, power, signal, etc).
The major part of the screen is unresponsive. The three buttons below are unresponsive as well.
I'm able to pull the task bar down and when I click the "settings" button I get this message: "unfortunately the process com.android.settings has stopped"
What does this mean for my phone? Can this be fixed?
Any help would be great. I've done a bit of reading, but I'm still very new to this. The phone is an AT&T HTC One X, 1.85, running 4.0.3.
Thanks in advance.

Yes it should be fixable but we don't know what that person did to your phone.. if he never got to the point of changing the cid. You can just run the 1.85 ruu and then root it yourself if you want because its not difficult. Or if root intimidates you you cab stay stock.
If he did happen to change the cid youll have to unlock the bootloader if its not already and either flash a ROM or s-off and then ruu.
I'm sure this can seem like a lot but everything will be fine. What I need to see is the information in your bootloader. And your cid.
How to get into your bootloader: press and hold power while your phone is on until the back home and recent apps buttons blink 5 times and then shuts off. Once the screen is off. Wait 2-3 seconds and then press and hold power and volume down.
Show me the bootloader.

Hi Exad,
Thanks for a quick reply.
OK... after holding down the power button and waiting for the buttons to blink, the phone does not go off... it reboots. Any ideas?

Hold power and volume down at the same time. When lights stop flashing release power but continue to hold volume down.

Or hold down power button till the power menu pops up. Choose "restart". As soon as you hit restart, hold down ONLYthe volume down button till it goes to a white screen with 3 skating droids

No need to hold volume down when shutting off. Only for coming back on into bootloader. Just tested.

You're probably supercid. You'll need to unlock the bootloader and s-off. You should install the HTC drivers and fastboot and get to work. Do you want to be rooted and stuff or stock?
The reason I ask is, we will proceed differently if you just want to stay stock but if you intend to flash Roms and whatnot, we will unlock root and s-off and downgrade touchscreen firmware.

Do you have the HTC Drivers, fastboot/adb installed?
If not, Get ADB/Fastboot. Unzip and keep in a folder somewhere. Remember where. I use C:\Android myself. You can have yours wherever is most convenient.

Once you've installed those:

Shift right click inside the folder where you keep ADB/Fastboot and click in the menu "Open Command prompt here"
Then type in command prompt: fastboot oem readcid
And show me what it says after.

no next is to RUU since OP can't use his phone currently.
Now here's the thing. I am not sure how far the last guy got with your phone. Your HBOOT says tampered.. If he modified the HBOOT, there's a chance you will full, unrecoverably brick. I don't want to be responsible for this happening. That's why I am telling you this. Here's the link if you want to take the risk.

See my last post, sorry, was updating with link.
Run that exe file with your phone plugged in, in bootloader/fastboot. It will, hopefully, return your phone to a working state.
