[Q] ***HELP*** Bricked..Stuck in Boot Loop**

So here is what I did... Last night i successfully unlocked my bootloader on my AT&T HTC Onc X and established root. I was running the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502. I then tried to update this morning to AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.85.502(desktop installer type) it kept giving me errors and would not complete. Like an idiot i tried to flash CleanROM 2.0 -★| 1.85.502.3 | Tweaked! | Stable! | CWM Install! through CWM and it installed successfully but my WIFI would not work at all. So i decided to reload CleanROM DE 1.0 -★| which had worked fin in the past. At the end of the installer it said to do a factory reset and I did. After the reboot is where i noticed my problem. I am stuck on the boot animation screen. Not able to get into the phone at all now. I am able to get back to the bootloader menu.. boot into CWM but unable to reflash the room on the sdcard. It will not mount USB storage. None of the stock desktop installer will recognize my device is plugged in....... ANY SUGGETIONS...or am I screwed....

Is it in a boot loop or is it frozen on the HTC One screen? That happened to me last night but I was able to run the RUU installer. Did you make sure HTC Sync wasn't running, and that you killed adb by using adb kill-server before trying the RUU installer?
Apologies if you've done these things already, I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you can do adb reboot bootloader, you should be able to run the RUU installer from there, no?

it does not show the ONE X boot screen. Its shows i guess what is known as the Galaxy Nexus boot screen that just flashes the colorful boxes over and over the longest i let it go for was like 20 minutes. The RUU installer you talk about, is that the one that you run from ur desktop. If so how do i get it to recognize my device is even plugged in. I have tried it while it is on the boot animation screen and from the bootloader menu. At this point it just seems like I dont have a way to get my computer to detect my device is plugged in. Is there a way to do that from the Bootloader menu?

If you have adb on your computer (from the Android SDK) and the drivers installed, you should be able to access the device from fastboot (bootloader). RUU will work if you can get your device into fastboot. I'm doing it right now (I wanted to try it before telling you).
Just remember, if you were on an unlocked 1.82 when you borked it, you need to be locked again before you can use RUU. Just use fastboot oem lock from the command prompt.

If you can get to the bootloader screen you are not bricked. Why can't you run the RUU like normal from there? Just re-lock your bootloader first.
Poster above beat me to it while I was taking forever to post.

1. Hold down your Volume Down Button and your power button
2. Wait for the device to turn off and keep holding the combination until you boot into the bootloader (It might take a couple tries, don't give up)
3. Plug your device into your computer via the OEM USB Cable
4. Use the Volume Up/Down keys and the Power button to select the Fastboot Option
5. Wait till the device is recognized (The text on screen where it said Fastboot should become Fastboot USB)
6. Go to the folder where you have fastboot installed and type:
fastboot oem lock
7. Go back to the bootloader and into fastboot when its done with relocking. Make sure the text on the top of the screen says "Relocked" or "Locked" (under the Tampered flag)
8. Run the RUU while in fastboot mode. Use version 1.85.

I sorry for being a NOOB... step 6. Go to the folder where you have fastboot installed and type:
fastboot oem lock...
when you refer to "having fastboot installed" I am taking it that you are not refering to the RUU installer... where do I get this FASTBOOT file from to install?

I think I figured it out... will let yall know in a few minutes

I looks to be that the 1.85 RUU is flashing properly... do I use the same method that I originally used to unlock the bootloader again?

Yes. You may need another unlock code. I did, but other people didn't. They just tried several times until it worked.

If you got device not found, you might not have USB Debugging enabled.
I don't think it's possible for something to "mess up" adb. For the Android SDK, just Google it.
When you run the one click CID tool again, just go through it all the exact way you did the first time.
I just spend about four hours on here answering questions and uploading mods. I'm going to take a shower and enjoy the rest of my Saturday. Good luck.

I think as long as you're relocked, not factory locked (meaning, you unlocked 1.82 and then locked it again) you should be able to use the one click tool again. That's how I did it.

Once you unlock your bootloader on 1.85 you will not need root to flash CWM Recovery

[Q] I'm in lockdown and can't get out.

I bought a HTC One S for T-Mobile USA. Has been working flawlessly. Today I got an OTA and my world is now upside down. I have spent 5 hours trying countless things to get my phone back up to no avail.
my phone stats:
hboot 1.09.0000
radio 0.16.31501s.16_2
open dsp-v28.1.0.32.0504
emmc-boot apr 2 2012,21:08:24
UNLOCKED
TAMPERED
How do I get back to square one and turn this phone back into something usable?
It has something called TWRP 2.1.7 installed on it and I have tried fastboot and a host of other things to remove it. I have even tried the thread on sending your phone back to stock but I can't access RUU because it won't load the driver. I have never rooted this phone nor do I believe USB Debugging was turned on before I accepted the OTA. I can communicate via fastboot in the command shell via a usb cable. The PC wont mound the SD card so I can't copy a new image and reboot this thing on a different rom and then send it back to stock.
I am about ready to throw it away because i can't seem to get a .zip file to it so it will run again (for putting a working build on it). There are no images to boot to. Somehow that got wiped and no backup was done. I don't give a poop if the data is whiped. Its all backed up via dropbox and exchange. I just want it up and running so i can use RUU and send it back to stock.
Any help would be appreciated.

I hate to tell you this but if you never unlocked or rooted your phone, somebody did. Your device is unlocked and running a custom recovery therefore you cannot accept over the air updates and that is your problem. You did not buy your phone that way from T-Mobile so what did you really do to get to this point?

I never said I bought it as OEM. I also never thought to ask the guy I got it from if he rooted it or unlocked it.

Relocking the boot loader then running an RUU should fix the issue. Once you do that enter the recovery and wipe everything/factory reset.
Then if you are trying to run a custom ROM you should be able to mount your SD card and push one to the phone.

Great reply however I am short on knowledge on how to do what you have recommended. I don't know how to relock the boot loader nor can I run RUU because I can't get the driver installed. Any help would be awesome. Thank in advance. Sorry I'm a noob at this.

In the dev section there is an all in one toolkit that will execute the correct scripts for you. Download it, then run it. You may also need the HTC sync drivers installed on your computer.
Once you see that the bootloader is locked run the ruu.
And don't apologize for being a noob, I am too lol. We all need help to get started.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

If you install HTC sync to your pc it should install the driver's you need. Then install the one s tool kit in developers section to relock. Then run ruu.

Also, anything you see in blue text is what you'll need to type, or copy/paste, to avoid any quote confusion.
Files You Need:
T-Mobile USA RUU file (mirror) - it's about 563 mb, and worth saving once you download it.
Extremely Important: If you're on another carrier you'll need a different RUU file - DO NOT try and run this RUU file, it could really screw you up. Go to this link to find the right RUU file.
HTC Drivers (mirror) - You probably already have the drivers installed if you're needing this thread, but just in case...
ADB / Fastboot (mirror) - same as the drivers, but again, just in case...
Initial Setup:
Again, some of this might be redundant as you might already have this setup if you rooted/unlocked.
Install the HTC drivers if you haven't already
Unzip the adbfastboot.zip file to your desktop (anywhere, but I find it easiest to get to it on the desktop for my habits)
Getting into the bootloader (hboot):
If you're stuck in a boot loop, pull the batt... oh wait, we can't do that here. To perform a hard reset, hold down the power button for 10 seconds - in the process you'll see the softkeys start blinking, then it should reset. As soon as it starts to reset, release power, and hold down the volume-down button - hold it until hboot pops up (white screen, colored text).
If you're phone is fully powered off (make sure "fastboot" is disabled - settings > power), hold the volume-down key and while holding it, press and hold power for a few seconds. You can probably release the power button, just make sure you keep holding volume-down - after probably 3-5 seconds (maybe a bit more), hboot should come up.
If the phone is on and you're plugged in to your computer, make sure "usb debugging is enabled" (settings > developer options), shift+right-click the adbfastboot directory on your desktop (or wherever you put it), choose "open command window here", and in the prompt that comes up, input adb reboot bootloader.
Restoring:
Once you're in hboot, make sure you select Fastboot (if you don't see it, you're in Fastboot already). In the command prompt referenced above, input fastboot oem lock. This will relock your bootloader in order to allow the RUU to run. Historically this has been necessary for an RUU to run, but I haven't actually tested it without relocking on the One S, and assumed based on previous HTC devices that this would continue to be the case. Edit: thanks rbrookstx for confirming that re-locking is necessary
Your phone will reboot when it relocks - follow the steps above to get back into hboot.
Once you're back in hboot, make sure you're in Fastboot, and open / run the RUU file. It'll go through some initial prompts, then it should start. It takes about 10-15 minutes, maybe less, depending on your computer.
Once it's done, it'll simply go back into hboot - reboot, and you're good to go.
A couple of notes:
When you unlocked and flashed a custom recovery (if you did that), hboot probably said "tampered with" and when it booted up, it probably had a red message under the "HTC" logo about being a developer only device. That should be gone now. It should boot up clean, and hboot should simply say "relocked", with no tampered message.
Until a better solution comes out, once you unlock the bootloader with HTC's official method, it can never be locked the way it was from the factory. "Relocked" is the best you can do.

This is what worked. I had to search the internet for this stuff but the HTC driver, the fast boot and the RUU with a matching or higher radio number all made it work out.

HTC One X in boot loop after unlocking

Hello there. I went through the unlock process just fine, but followed some reccomendation to install a new boot.img via Hasoon2000's tool in order to run Viper ROM (downloaded the boot.img from the Viper thread here). Well now my phone is in a boot loop that brings me to the HTC screen with red text saying This build is for..... When I power off it comes right back to that screen and I can't get it to get anywhere else.
Any thoughts? Thank you for any help.

Does your computer recognize the phone being plugged in? If so, run adb reboot recovery. If that doesn't work, try re-running the kit to re-root it.

I don't believe the computer is recognizing it at all. I'm not hearing the normal "ding" I get when it reboots.

first turn the phone off by holding power button for a longer time, then turn it on by holding both power and volume down buttons for a couple of seconds to enter bootloader

Did you install the Rom? Or just the boot.img?
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL

Alright, so holding down the volume button did get me into the bootloader. I tried the recovery and was able to recover using TWRP, but when I reboot it brings me back to the same HTC screen. So again, now I am able to do things via the bootloader so hopefully there is a next step to fix this.
To answer your question, I did not get to install the ROM, only the boot.img
Thanks for everyones help so far.

So go to twrp and install the Rom

Ok, went ahead and loaded up Viper 3.2.2 and it seemed to go fine. Rebooted and am at the same HTC logo screen with the "this build is for development....." It will keep rebooting into this screen several times and will hang.
I did get the tampered/unlocked notice on the bootloader before doing all this. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Thanks for any additional help.

ROM did install correctly but was still bringing me to the HTC splash screen with developer warning.
As a last ditch effort I downloaded the correct RUU and ran it. Device now works properly, but when trying to go through the tool kit again I get to the bootloader in the end and it says "relocked" even though I submitted my token, got the proper .bin and unlocked.
Any thoughts? Everyone has been very helpful.

I thought you wouldn't be able to install RUU if your bootloader is unlocked. But anyway, try this thread instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732980

I'm glad to report that I was finally able to flash the 3.2.2 Viper ROM. I was having problems unlocking the phone again, but just did it via fastboot command line. Once that was done it was smooth sailing.
I do have a couple of issues with the Viper ROM, but all in all it's fine and I'll post those questions in the Viper thread.
Thanks again for everyones help!

Re-unlocking is a *****. Took me about 80 tries. Reboot phone, reboot pc, keep trying. Eventually it will work. You didn't need to run the ruu.. You may just want to keep the phone in stock state if this seems complex to you.

htc one x at&t boot loop

Hi everyone, i got an issue with my cel phone, i update it with the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34 and after that my phone starts in a boot loop , the AT&T logo appears but then restarts again ,and again ,etc.-
I tried to conect it to the Pc so i can put another RUU Rom ,but computer cant install the drivers so is not recognize .-
The phone is not unlock
Please i dont know what to do , i tried a lot of thing like fastboot rebot,recovery,etc but nothing seems to work , if anyone can help me i will be gratefull
thanks

try a factory reset from recovery hold the power button and volume down till the lights at the bottom start blinking when the phone shuts off keep holding the volume button and let go of the power button this should get you into bootloader then select recovery from there

So the phone is stock (not rooted, never bootloader unlocked)?
If the drivers aren't correctly installed, the RUU is never going to run. I think that is the main problem. Find the latest drivers (HTC Sync), reboot the computer, make sure you have admin rights, etc. Also try a different USB port, or try another computer, if possible.

RUU doesn't care about recovery, it re-installs stock recovery automatically.

Well i made what you told me , first i tried to put the same RUU and it flashed it but issue remains , so i tried to put an older RUU ( downgrade it ) process starts but suddenly stopt with 140 error : bootloader version error .-
I don´t know wich version i can istall if process show me that error .-Or which RUU version can put on it

You can't use a previous RUU if the hboot is older. So that error is normal and expected.
You will need to run the 3.18 RUU. Try to download it again. Might just be a bad download.

First thing you need to do is read the stickies in this q&a section. Then read stickies in android development section. Then if you have questions, ask. If you just ran the 3.18 ruu though, you're sol, no root/bootloader unlocking possible.

Its not clear from your posts whether the phone was actually updated to 3.18 firmware or not. But the hboot has at least been updated to 2.14.
If the phone is on 3.18 firmware, you can't unlock the bootloader and you can't root.

Well thanks for all the answers , but sorry to say, i continue with the loops anda suddenly the phone starst fine, but when in rebbot it for some reason keep on with the loop issue.-
Instead of that i notice a strange thing happend , as i told , got wifi problems on this model , but as shown in the picture above , i pull out the micro sim,so no mobile data, data conection or network operator set and im connect to my wifi network , thats is strange ,if i put the sim ,the cel phone automatically set the network operator ,and if i set the APN , wifi signal desapears and beggin the known issue for this model on wifi signal and connections .-
Any idea of wath can be ??

if you can get your phone to boot and stay booted for atleast 30 minutes. could you install and run this app. eMMC Brickbug Check it will check if the phones memory is good. i havent heard of any bad emmc on evita but maybe you have one, since you seem to be having a similar problem to what i had on an htc ace. also you could reboot into stock recovery and do a factory reset or clear cache, see if you get any errors i got emmc errors on my ace before the partitions finally decided to crap out. you could go through the unbrick thread to repair partitions before the die completely, my theory was doing a similar thing to this ace to repair it.

big problem
I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, everything went fine. i then tried to flash a custom ROM. Thats where it went really bad. It went into a bootloop. I was able to get it back to bootloader mode and then recovery, so i tried to flash the ROM again, same result. I now have no way to transfer a new ROM over to my SD card and attempts to flash this ROM i downloaded through fastboot have all failed. I dont know what to do at this point, please help.

You haven't given enough information. What are your bootloader details? What recovery and version are you using? Which ROM did you flash? Did you do a factory reset from bootloader?

If s-on, do you realize that you need to flash boot.img seperately using fastboot (for any hboot 1.14 or higher)? This is the most common reason for bootloops when flashing a ROM on this device.

Please Help !. HTC One Mini stuck in BOOTLOADER Menu

My HTC One mini swtiched off a couple of days ago and since then only load to bootloader menu no matter what I click or do. It goes also automatically to this screen as soon as I plug it with the charger even if did not press the on/off key.
I tried to unlock the bootloader according to the instructions on HTCDev.com site. Everythings work till the last step, as no menu appear on my phone asking me if I want to unlock the bootloader or not.
I also tried to use RUU to install a new Firmware. The phone showes a black screen for a couple of seconds and then restart again to bootloader screen. I got an error afterwards.
The phone was running on a stock firmware, no root, no custom recovery, or any other thing.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. It seems my phone has no OS or something like that.

I seem to be in the same situations... although I got to it in a different way. Where did you download the RUU from? is it version-main: 4.14.401.2 or higher?
Try: rootwiki dot net and search for htc one mini bootlocker unlock....this helped me to UNLOCK and put TWRP recovery on it... maybe it gets you a step closer.
