[Q] How Long Does 1.85.502 take to flash?

I rooted and unlocked stock RUU (1.73 something). Then I fastboot oem lock the device. So the bootloader is locked. THen I begin to flash 1.85 and the window has been displaying the "Sending" dialougue for half an hour. What should I do now? I think the RUU isn't working.

It took forever. I think because of super cid.

Thanks for the reply. I was just flashing, but a power outage hit my computer while the file was "sending". I freaked out, but luckily the phone still works still on 1.73. Are there any things I need to do before the 1.83 that I didn't do before? I'm going to try it again. The taste of custom ROMs is too good to live without (I came from an Atrix (awesome devs))

You might want to flash from a laptop. Losing power is the last thing you want to do during a flash and could potentially brick it if it were to fail.

Yeah, luckier this time. Finally finished flashing. Took about 2 or three hours. Maybe more. I feel so happy those nervous breaths are finally over! Thanks for all of your time.

It took me 10min to flash, but the whole process took me all day. My goal was achieve root and unlocked status and it was a success.

[Q] Phone Locked :s Help?

So I bricked my phone...
I have searched around the other threads with bricked devices but none of them had that worked for me. I am rooted and unlocked so I cant flash a RUU.
I can get into bootloader, it says fastboot but when I try fastboot oem Lock or any other command it says waiting for device and doesnt seem to do anything. (I can see the bootloader screen and the red FASTBOOT sign on my phone)
I can get into my recovery (TWRP V.2.1.8.1) but my SD seems to have disappeared, it wont mount to phone and I can not see it on file manager. Which means no backups or ROMS to reinstall. It also will not mount to my PC in recovery.
Since fastboot isnt working I cant flash new boot recovery or relock bootloader. I can completely stuck
If there is a way with adb (never used it so would need more detailed instructions).
If i try boot into ROM it just shows splash then loops.

assuming you're using Windows. Is HTC sync running? If so kill it.
If you can get to boatloader, you should be able to see the phone in windows. It's kind of a failsafe.

I never shut HTC sync as soon as I did that I could OEM lock and now I am running the RUU.

No problemmo.
You're only bricked (as far as I know) if you can't get to the bootloader.

You shouldn't need to, there was a post in s-off saying it could be ran from dload mode. From what I read.
beaups said:
I tried the pg1fs. sig check failure. As a matter of fact doing "fastboot flash aksldjflkadsfjdlsk pg1fs.img" causes the same error, so something is in the img that causes sig check or any flash attempt except recovery is sig checked. Fastbook oem refurbish puts out a lot of interesting text, then reboots into recovery and looks for something (doesn't say what).on sd card (I tried copying IMG's to internal and external sd, no luck). Interesting thing about refurb command is it seems particularly "excited" about the fact that we have super CID - run it yourself and see, no harm is done (data, etc.). one recovery boots you can screw around with volume and power keys to see the text.

Phone is officially dead.
RUU'ed and it completed install without problems but phone still boot loops

Which RUU did you run? Did you try running it again? Can you still boot into the bootloader? If so what does it say at the top?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I relocked boot loader and ran the AT&T 1.85 ruu
Basically I now have the phone booting up, but when sense loads I can do very little on it, like text or call. As soon as I try do something more like browse the web the phone freezes and reboots. The back get warm and won't turn on immediately. I want to say the second core is shorting which is why as soon as it clicks in it freezes. Or at least what my limited knowledge would suggest.
Guessing I'm done and will be using dumb phone for 6 months

The phone has a 1 year warranty call customer service and get a new one.

Doesn't the fact that I used htc dev unlock void that warranty? And I never got my phone from AT&T so they won't help obviously.
I thought that was the whole reason some people didn't want to use htc dev unlock because it voids that warranty and they won't help because the phone was rooted and boot loader unlocked? Has anyone tried to get a replacement from htc after unlocking?

You might void it says. Hardware defects are covered. AT&T covers the phone for 1 year regardless of where you bought it. Call them.

I doubt AT&T would help, I bought the phone out of contract from best buy they would be getting screwed. I'll try contact htc after 4th of July

They will help. They take care of phone warranty for you. You still pay for service . This warranty is part of why you pay them.

At&t one x soft brick!!!!!!!

ok i dont know what happened.........ive went into twrp recovery many times before!! i went to get in recovery, it wouldnt let me!!! everytime i tried....it would just sit for about 1 and a half seconds then reboot to the htc white screen with the red lettering on the bottom. like it was trying to reboot into the rom. well it wouldnt go to my current rom no matter what!!!! finally held down power untill my soft keys blinked a few times which then eventually got me into my bootloader. from there i tried rebooting into recovery with same results as before! then tried from bootloader mode to reboot into the rom.........no go!!!!!! so finally now i locked bootloader, and am running ruu!!!!! hopefully it boots up ok? ill report back with my findings! anyone see this before?
edit...........got it to boot finally!!!!!! deleted all my files!!!!!! music, pics, everything! luckily i made a backup the other day! still lost some of my files and such! damn it man! this sucks!

Another prime example of why you should always have a backup. Glad you got it unbricked though.

If it says relocked, do you think you unlocked it? I'm just saying, my suggestion would be to not flash a recovery until the bootloader says unlocked. But let's see what others say.

Re-run the unlock but do not boot to boot loader using adb. Shut the phone off, boot to bootlader by holding vol- then run unlock again. reboot back to bootlader and check. This has been happening a lot, cant explain why but if you boot to bootlader through adb then the unlock doesnt stick a lot of times. Its happened to me on my last two phones. If you werent using ADB and it still didnt stick, just keep trying, it will work. I found the solution in the unlock bootlader thread, after 20+ tries using adb to reboot. It worked first time when i bypassed ADB. i was scared, thought HTC blocked us lol. :fingers-crossed:

im going to try this right now

Got it!

if i boot to bootloader myself the script wont run it just hangs at restarting adb
Edit......fixed it.

Ok here's the deal. After my little experiance,had a lot of problems! Not sure what happened? But I'm not taking the risk again. I had to ruu again to get to stock, well after puting a new sim in....still fc's! Couldn't do anything with the device. So I took it in and got ANOTHER replacement, they said they have never seen anything like it?! Anyways... Mods please feel free to delete this thread! Thanks.
edit.......just so u all know this all started when trying to flash magnolia rom, i got the status 1 error, so i decided to try from cwmr touch. thats where the problem began!!!!!! so if i were users, i would stick with TWRP recovery!!!!

HTC One X Bootloader Unlock

Its a real pain in the ass. What I did is cut and paste the key into a text editor. You have to remove leading spaces from the top make sure you include the lines that have the >>> on the top and the bottom. Make sure the numbers all line up it's a ***** to get right.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and post back if it works.

Not quite sure I understood what you said, and if I did, I did it wrong. Do you think i could send you the token and you do what is needed? Then you could send it back to me. I don't mean to be a bother about it.

I know what you're talking about there. I made sure I right-clicked on the first < on the line to mark. THen, clicked where I marked exactly to select. Cntrl C, Cntrl V and it works. I know it's a PITA...took me a few tries before I got it.

Wait your on 2.20...... You can't root or unlock your bootloader because you need root to change your cid so that you can unlock your bootloader from HTC dev. There is no current exploit to root 2.20 unless you were already unlocked prior to the update. You re going to have to sit tight till someone comes up with a new exploit for 2.20.

Yeah, that's why I was wondering if anyone knew a way of downgrading. I posted this thread before I found out that you root before unlocking bootloader on this phone. I thought that just running a 1.85 RUU would downgrade it but that failed. So do you have a way of downgrading?

There's no way to downgrade either.

[Q] HTC One X AT&T out of options

Hello, I recently received an AT&T One X and the very first thing I did with it was try to root it and all that fun stuff. After a long adventure I couldn't get the HBOOT to upgrade so I had changed the CID to HTC__001 from cws_001 (I couldn't find this CID anywhere, but I swear that's what it said) and then the bootloader was re-locked. There is no OS, there is no recovery, I've tried 10 RUU's from Asia WWE to the UK RUU's and than all the AT&T ones I can find.
Most fastboot commands come back with a "Too many Links" error which I assume is from the bootloader being locked, and I cant change the bootloader's status because the bin file I got is for the supercid.
Please help me, I am usually quite proficient with this type of stuff but I really buried myself in a hole.

Why were you trying to upgrade your hboot..? Anyways.. What hboot do you have now? Is your Cid still htc__001?

Re
My HBOOT is 1.14.0002. I tried to upgrade it for all the newer roms and such but thats when I managed to screw everything up. Yes, it is still HTC__001 and that is the international. I've tried several WWE RUU's and all refuse to work giving me various errors..

Yeah no ruu will work because you have an international cid with an at&t phone.
You'll need to htcdev over again and pray it works.

I already unlocked the bootloader, It just wont let me do anything anymore... All fastboot commands are giving me either unknown errors or too many link errors.
I just dont understand why I cant change the CID anymore! The bootloader is unlocked so i should just be able to use fastboot..

Flash a stock-based ICS rom and then S-OFF, then you can change your cid, or whattever you need to do

Doesn't necessarily need to be ics but yeah you get the idea. After s-off then you can ruu to update your hboot and anything else that gets updates. Bear in mind that on aosp ROMs the touchscreen won't work after you upgrade until you downgrade the touchscreen firmware.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Don't you still need supercid to s-off? Or is that no longer a requirement?

Never tried with am international or cid from another carrier.. Maybe it'll work? If not he can always hex edit his cid.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Thank you for the replies, the link to the Hex editing of the CID saved me. I knew that's where the CID was located but I didn't know you could dd it out of the system. By the way, I was having hard times trying to flash CM9 on there and it didn't work, neither did viper roms so I was greatly discouraged. By the way, I have no earthly clue on how to S-OFF the One X so I will probably try to look harder for that. I'm probably going to either RUU to where I was, I believe 2.2 or put on.. some rom that sounds good. Any favorites? Y'all say I can flash ICS to it if I just flash the boot.img first right? I thought that the partition sizes would cause a conflict.. Oh well, I'll give it a try

You should be able to flash any rom so long as you fastboot flash the boot.img ics or jb.

A million thanks, well, I thanked you once, that should suffice. I'm almost set now, for a second I thought the phone would be a goner.

If you can get to bootloader your phone can be saved. Good luck, have fun.
