possibly flashing a modifed HBOOT? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

It seems like a lot of the issues that come up deal with the hboot is there a way to flash a hboot after its modified? Of completely format a phone and have it rebuild from a older image/RUU?

Today i bought an HTC Sensation i tried to get s-off which i thought i succeeded in and i got root, after that i just installed Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU straight from stock recovery. Now i have bootloops... The android version i had from the start was RUU​_Pyramid​_HTC​_Europe​_1.35​.401​.1_ please help me get my phone working, as i have no clue on what the hell i wrong?
you have to flash a rom compatible with that fw! but i suggest you to update fw to 3.24 and then flash the rom...
however this is not the right place to ask this

you flashed a firmware that was ICS compatible and you still had a GB rom on your device therefor putting you into bootloops. You need to flash firmware 1.17 from Here and be more carefull and follow the guide

There are other links on there for other providers. Who is your service provider?
THANK YOU!
You said you ran the RUU from recovery...do you mean you ran it through bootloader? First that PGIMG you need to remove that from your SD card after you install and before you reboot your device or it will loop forever.
i have it working.. thank you all please delete this thread moderators
What did you do, forget to remove firmware image off SD?? Im sure it might help others..

Read the stickies at the top of this forum before doing anything else or you are going to brick your phone. If you don't know how, don't do it. The stickies have tutorials in them that will tell you everything.

AAHK is retired. Root by unlocking the boot loader, flashing a recovery from fast boot, and flashing su or a rooted ROM from there.

Then what "hack kit" is it that you are running and that is updating the radio? And you can't have both S-Off and an unlocked bootloader.

According to its filename, that's an old AAHK. It's unsupported and the files it needs have been taken down.

There isn't one. You can only unlock the bootloader. There are people who say you can use AAHK with the right RUU for your phone, and there's a manual method. But both are unsupported.

[Q] Is it neccessary or possible to downgrade.

Hello,
I want to go back to ICS preferably the 2.20 version on my One XL I am on 3.18 unlocked and s-off is it possible to do this without bricking? If yes than how so? I am pretty competent and confident in my adb and fastboot abilities so this is not an issue however this is my daily use phone and I have no backup device so I really cant afford a brick. (Or else I wouldn't be asking I would find out myself lol) Thanks in advance.

yes, download and run the 2.20 RUU. It's safe as you're S-OFF.

after bootloader unlock. the first thing is to flash custom recovery twrp 2.3.3.1 or under or official cwm
if youre not s-off you need to extract the boot.img from whatever rom youre flashing and then flash it using fastboot. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
once you s-off this step is no longer needed.

Most Roms Boot Loop - How to correct?

Hello.
I have an htc one xl (evita) which will not boot certain roms. I can boot some roms such as miui v5 and magiRom but I can not figure out why it will not boot roms such as CyanogenMod, ChameleonOS or TeamBaked BB9 as examples. These that will not boot will only boot loop and I'm going froot loop.
I am S-off, HBoot 1.09. Using TWRPv2.3.1.0.
I have tried TWRPv2.5, Hboot >1.09 and flashing boot.bin separately.
I have also tried some suggestions from these posts with no success so far ..

What steps do I need to take to get to 3.18?
I can't seem to find a stock evita recovery image. My understanding is I need to relock boot loader, install stock recovery, upgrade to 3.18 and then restart the process of unlocking. Is this correct? Is the stock recovery located in an original at&t update?

1. Hboot will be at 2.14 - So if you wish, downgrade back to 1.09, otherwise you will need to flash the boot.img and then the rom when trying new roms.
2. The after market recovery (will now be oem recovery) will be gone so be sure to reinstall your preferred recovery (TWRP or CW)
3. The touchscreen may not respond in some roms, so you may have to downgrade your touchscreen panels firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

It may be I am mistaken. I thought it was baked but i was also trying a rom I was trying to port. During the time i was flashing from 1.09 to 2.14 and also seen that baked required 2.14. So with all that going on i was just trying boot.img and then the rom to ensure no errors.
