[Q] I may have just hardbricked my One X... o.O - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I was installing a rom on my Rogers One X.
I can't post the link, but it is the "IceColdJelly AOKP ROM" posted recently on onexroot.com
EDIT: Found it on XDA. yes, it is for the international version
The instructions say:
To install, reboot into recovery, do data wipe/factory reset, install ROM, install Gapps, then extract boot.img from ROM zip file and flash with fastboot.

I did everything except for the last step, but then I accidentally rebooted the phone. Now my phone seems to be completely dead. I can't boot to the bootloader, I can't do anything. Even the charging light does not come on when I plug it into my PC.
When I plug it in to my PC it shows up as "Qualcomm QHSUSB_HBOOT" in the Windows device manager, but does not show up in adb, or fastboot.
Am I screwed??

Cannot stress this enough, do not flash anything that isn't posted in the dev sections of this forum...I believe IceColdJelly is for the international (Tegra 3) One X and you may have overwritten your boot sector and recovery. If you can't get the charging light to come on then you are most likely out of luck.

But I have the Rogers One X, which I think is Telstra right?
Anyway, I found the rom's page on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796340
It is posted in the "HTC One X" forum, so that's not the Telstra version then, right?

Nevermind, I was mixed up about the versions. Yes, the rom is for the wrong version of the One X.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I was searching around and found this:

Might be possible to fix in Linux? I've heard that using the linux-only tools, it is possible to write to a partition even when the bootloader is broken. Anybody ever heard of this?

Rogers is Rogers, Telstra is Telstra. Telstra is an Australian carrier.
Seems like the OP had a fundamental lack of basic understanding of what they were even looking at when flashing ROMs, which is of course a no-no.

Tough crowd lol
I am well aware of the difference between my hoc and the international version. I got mixed up by the "Telstra" thing. I thought it was the same as the rogers/at&t version.

They are essentially the same. Rogers or Telstra makes no difference, they are both the Snapdragon S4 version of the One X/XL. ROMs are interchangeable. How did this have anything to do with flashing a ROM for the international version?
My main point of my previous post, if you are mixed up, confused, etc. about any aspect of what you are doing when flashing ROMs or doing other mods, STOP, DO NOT PROCEED. Figure it out before proceeding, as you see what the consequence of not doing so is . . . a sexy looking paperweight.

[Q] HELP? I'm stuck in QHSUSB Download Mode?

I went to flash some things...and now it's stuck in the qualcomm download mode? How the hell do I get out of it??
You can't, you're screwed
I had this on my old Sensation, it stands for Qualcomm High Speed USB
Basically what's happened is your phone has lost the drivers for the chip set and needs them re-installed, as far as I'm aware, no-one has managed to find a way to do it.
Hope its still under warranty mate, I think its the only way you'll get it sorted

Is it completely dead and unresponsive? Just flashing the wrong recovery shouldn't kill your phone. I've done it myself a couple of times by accident, and fixing it was just a matter of flashing the right one.
Sounds like you actually flashed the wrong rom. Doing that can kill your bootloader, which will put you in QHSUSB mode. There is a way out that's been discussed, but I can't find it at the moment. It involves pushing a new hboot onto your phone and I believe requires Linux.

it wasnt a rom. it was definetly the clockwork recovery in rom manager. it said gsm next to htc one x and its a new one so i was stupid enough to flash it. i did a reboot and it was dead. i already talk to at&t about it and there sending me a new one.

That's interesting, because I did (almost) the same thing. When I first unlocked my HOX, I installed ROM Manager and accidentally flashed the Samsung GSII recovery. I was able to fix it just by going back to bootloader and adb flashing the correct version.

just found out the one x international recovery flashes on the partition that on our phones is the boot loader partition. could be fixed inside of linux, but i didnt get into how.
I had the same problem with the QHSUSB Download it turns out my phone had a really drained battery so how I managed to fix it was had it plugged into my computer and let the lights flash until i got a solid amber light. after about 15 minutes, I turned it on and it worked fine!
on my tablet i pressed for a really long time the power button and then it started up
it enters almos allways in qualcomm download mode when the battery is depleated.

Tip/warning rom manager recovery for htc one x (gsm)

I am creating this post as a tip and warning to everyone with an at&t htc one x (mostly noobs for help). If you have rom manager on your phone do not use it to flash the new recovery listed for the htc one x (gsm). I've been messing with android since 2009, but me seeing a new recovery for the one x with (gsm) next to it thought hey finally got an official clockwork recovery for our phones!!!!! Well i was wrong. Its for the international versions only not ours. The partition it writes the recovery to is on our bootloader partition, and flashing it will kill your phone. I flashed it, kept it on for hours but as soon as i rebooted the phone it turned off and would not turn on or charge. You'll pretty much be screwed and have to get a new phone unless you know how to run linux and ask for help fixing it which is harder than you think. Again do not flash the htc one x (gsm) recovery in rom manager!!!!!
Hope this helps some of you before hand and not after.
If this post isn't necessary i am sorry and please close it.
Nobody should ever use ROM Manager for anything, EVER.
Sorry for your loss.
Why would you flash a recovery for a different device and expect it to work?
When ROM manger is supported on your device its a great tool, like on the sgs2. If its not officilially supported on your device, don't mess with it.

in fact, it is not really that hard to fix. Just re-lock the phone via fastboot. then run RUU package from AT&T
It should set every thing back to original.
if your phone is not respond RUU, try reboot on RUU via fastboot.
By the way, The only recovery that works now is TWRP
Use this one only

The ruu has to access the boot loader to verify your version. If you end up flashing a device and it writes certain partitions of your boot loader (ICJ).... Well your left with a permabrick, until someone finds a way to JTAG the One X(AT&T). I've heard that its already been done, but the person who has performed it has kept the pinout secret.
I'm not entirely sure which partitions your ROM manager has wrote to, if you can find that out you might be able to fix it... Depending on which ones have been written too.

You must be doing something wrong then. You don't even need to locate backups with TWRP, they're found automatically. Anyway, was it really necessary to revive an 18 month old thread just to say that?

Can't flash a ROM. Help!

I can get it to get into recovery mode, but it wont go any further than the red lettered warning banner. I tried to flash the ROM from the clockwork mod app from the market. No luck. My phone is not in the list of phones in the "Flash clockwork mod recovery". I tried to flash the 5.8.4.0 endeavoru.img file to my phone, but in my command prompt on my computer, it doesn't recognize my command as a batch command or anything. Any help folks? I was trying to find a stick on rooting, unlocking bootloader, and then flasing roms, but to my surprise I didn't find them all in one. I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point. Spent a few hours last night, and now it all seems like a blur. Help please!

Do some research first because seems like u don't have even a custom recovery or even roooted... Now also never install anything that says endeavour or you will **** up your phone enough said...now do u have att one x or rogers telstra
WOAH, STOP RIGHT THERE.
endeavoru.img IS THE WRONG IMAGE!!!! I can smell a brick!!! the endeavoru image is for the quad core tegra one x. I am assuming you have a OneXL or one of the other Qualcomm DUAL CORE One X's
Our phone is called EVITA.
If you have a non ATT one x like a Telstra One XL or rodgers go to htcdev website.
If you have a ATT version I have recently found out that some versions cannot be rooted, and root is needed to unlock the bootloader. If it has ATT logo on the top where HTC should be, then you need to know the version number of your current rom before putting in any more effort to unlock. Check settings>about phone>
Check the forum in the One X Android Development/[INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up (Updated 10/2/12) for the versions that can be rooted/unlocked.
Hope this helps
-Liam
mine is the ATT version......
My phone isn't bricked yet...phew. SO....going to get the EVITA then. right? for ATT version?
First thing is first you need to know the version of the stock rom you have, go to settings/about phone, I believe that if your version is greater than 1.85 then you are pretty screwed. You can only wait until A) ATT allow unlocking B) someone finds an exploit. If your One X is brand new, I doubt it is 1.85 as this is an old version.

@omario8484, is there a reason for not using CWM? I have it on my OneXL. I got the touch version, TWRP is good I guess, but I am more familiar with the CWM interface.

Do you have the 2.20 hboot? I imagine you do if you just rooted today. If that is the case you're lucky since hboot partition is read only and cannot be clobbered. Just re-flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and flash a ROM for the one XL and you should be good to go.
If you have pre-2.20 hboot you might be bricked.

Is this confirmed to work on One X's bricked from flashing international ROMs? I've seen it mentioned several times before that Qualcomm download mode can be recovered from using a Linux computer. But this is the first time I've actually seen the instructions. And it really doesn't look all that complicated.
Seems like quite a few people that have bricked (by flashing international ROMs) would benefit from this, and it deserves its own thread.

Cannot confirm if this can fix a corrupted hboot partition, but it's worth a shot. Haven't found any solid guides for pushing a new hboot partition to the phone while in this mode yet. Also do not want to brick my phone to test it

Go to Evo 4g LTE forum and go to original development. 1st page should have a thread by yarrimapirate about downgrade. He recently figured how to brick, downgrade hboot and get s-off from QHuSB. Mode. The guys is a genius. That thread may have some answers or at least some help or info for you. People in that thread are stepping over themselves trying to help people.
Good luck.
I'd post a link, but I know as soon as I step out of this thread I'll never find it again (xda app)

[Q] Help! Bricked HTC One X AT&T

I've been using Hassoon2000's All in one toolkit. I successfully unlocked the boot loader. I was going to install Cyanogenmod 10. I copied the boot.img into the kernals folder for the AIO toolkit. I flashed that and that's where it went south. My phone continuously rebooted at the HTC bootup screen.
After some reading I have "relocked" the bootloader. I attempted to flash what I thought was the stock RUU. I can get into fast boot, but not the recovery. ( I was using the TWRP recovery that came with the tool kit). If I try to choose factory reset, it acts like it's flashing my phone (gray screen with a progress bar, but then goes back into fastboot after about 30sec.)
Am I SOL? I'm willing to compensate via pay pal if we get this thing going. If not, I did find a site call JTag brick repair.
When you flashed the kernel, did you install the actual Rom? If your phone can turn on, its not bricked. Which ruu did you download? Why isn't it working?

I found an ruu after some googling. I perhaps didn't get the right one. No I didn't install the rom after I flashed the kernel. I flashed the kernel first, then I was going to boot into the recovery to install the rom. The phone just hung at the HTC screen before going into recovery. In red letters it says: This build is for development purposes only... etc"
Did you hold volume down and power at the same time to boot into recovery? Also make sure you get the right ruu. Which carrier are you on and what firmware were you before you flashed? The ruu is an exe you run from your desktop while your phone is in fastboot

Here's where I'm currently at. I have the bootload unlocked again through the toolkit. I also have the TWRP installed. I CAN get into TWRP.
I have AT&T, I'll do some searching on trying to find an RUU.
Hboot-1.14.0002
Radio-0.19as.32.09.11_2
openDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
Awesome. Now mount USB storage in twrp and plug it in to your computer. If windows asks you to format. Say yes and format fat32. Copy the cm10.zip file to your sd card. Install from twrp. You may have to flash the boot.img again in fastboot.

I get an E:Error in sdcard/cm10.zip (Status 7)
Error flashing zip
Updating partition details...
I did do a factory reset and wipe cache.

I'm doing endevarou. I have the HTC One X, not the XL.
You have the one xl if you have the dual core att evita. if you have the quad core international one x then it's the endeavor.

If so, then you are in the wrong forum, and if you used the toolkit from this forum, it also explains why you are stuck in the state you are. This forum is for the Evita. Are you sure you have the quad core Tegra3 version? What carrier is your phone from?
Also, if you can get into hboot, you are nowhere near bricked. Any type of power on (even just hboot) is not that hard to recover from. The only real brick is if the screen doesn't come on at all, and no charge LED when plugged to charger. Even then, the phone can sometimes be unbricked in Linux.

Okay. I have the One XL for LTE. I was thinking the XL meant the bigger HTC One X that was out.

Really?! You my friend should not be flashing, rooting, unlocking bootloaders until you know the process and you can do it without reading how to do so. Learn how to swim before you jump into the deep end.
This is my third my root. I had the OG Motorola Droid and HTC Sensation with Tmobile. Now this One X LTE.
I can see why you said that though. I made an honest mistake. Looking back at the HTC models what I meant to say for some stupid reason I thought the HTC One X + (new one for att) was actually the HTC One XL. So I confused myself, flashed the wrong kernel. Luckily with some confirmation from you guys I'm back on the road. My phone is working.
My phone is working with CM10. I just need to get a compatible version of Gapps on. I'll be sending someone beer money. :victory:

Great to hear.
You are very lucky you didn't do it the other way around (flash an endeavor rom on an evita device), as you would be the proud owner of a very expensive paperweight.
HTC can get stuffed for naming 3 different phones almost exactly the same One X/ One XL (or AT&T One X) / One X+. It is a minefield for people new to the phone.
Regardless of how many phones you've rooted, its pretty clear that you didn't do the enough reading to know the difference between the X, XL, and X+, and to know what you own. As already mentioned, you're lucky you didn't brick.
Only flash things from our forum, and you'll be safe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
