Do you have Exchange email set up? That can interfere with the process. You'll need to kill that.

no i dont have exchange set up i factory restore my phone

I am having the same problem. I confirmed my HTC drivers are installed and functioning correctly with adb. No exchange account. I get no backup confirmation on the screen of the device. How long does the backup restore process take?

Same here, the question to restore a backup doesn't come up on my phone either. Tried a factory reset and everything, someone please figure this out and help!

A factory reset from bootloader resolved it for me. After that, the prompt appeared on my phone and root was fairly straightforward after that.

I wouldn't factory reset from bootloader, it can corrupt your sd card.

How would I know if it is corrupted? I saw someone recommend doing it this way and it seemed to work fine for me. After rooting I flashed a few roms before settling on ViperXL. Both you and the one recommending a reset from bootloader are much smarter than me at this so any info is much appreciated.

I guess your device wouldn't recognise the SD card. I've seen on a few threads people resetting in bootloader and this happening. If your sd card is fine I suppose you got lucky.

if TWRP cries and yells at you saying "E: cannot mount sdcard" or something to that extent, then it is corrupted. You got lucky, or maybe everyone else was unlucky.
Just don't factory reset from the bootloader next time. Better safe than sorry.

Some questions, is your phone a standard DESIRE S, S-ON, with standard HBOOT etc?
I'd wait for someone with more Android experience than myself to confirm this, but, I believe that you should attempt to re-flash your original ROM (RUU). Which you should hopefully find somewhere in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

Thanks for the reply.
It's S-ON, this is untouched so I guess standard HBOOT?
Is flash(ing) ROM can be done even phone is not rooted?
Also, been searching around and found this (almost) same problem encountered, regarding "No image...", but I'm hesitant coz now I have to start from scratch again after that(?). :/

You should be able to flash an official HTC ROM, without ROOT. Although if you are operator locked ie T-Mobile/Vodafone etc you may have to install one of their ROMS. Although I'm a little out of my depth/comfort zone with all this...
I may be well off the mark here, but, have you tried it, without your SD card inserted? give it a go?
What you found is related to something different. and related to image files stored on your SD card used for updating....which is what made me make the above suggestion.
After a factory reset you will have to start a fresh anyway.
Ohh. So it's not related.
My phone looks like this :
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0. 98. 0000
RADIO-38. 03. 02. 15_M
e-MMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58: 38
HBOOT
vol <up>......
vol <down>......
POWER
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FASTBOOT goes to BOOTLOADER menu which shows me the "No image..."
RECOVERY works but then after the process it turns off, and vibrate several times.
FACTORY RESET if selected, nothing happens, like it froze or something.
Did you try it without an SD as suggested?
The IMAGE errors I think (but could be wrong) are as a result of FASTBOOT auto checking for the existence of update files on your SD and simply not finding any!
Does it say Checking.....
If you select FASTBOOT then REBOOT what happens? Phone hangs? with what screen?
Hopefully someone else will add some advice soon?

Yes, I did. It's same.
If I put the SD in it, when chosing FASTBOOT the errors looks like the attachment in this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703761
Yes it say Checking...
Doing FASTBOOT then REBOOT shuts down the phone then restarts it and hangs at the green HTC logo.
I really wish someone can help me.
BTW, regarding the ROM's you provided above, what do you suggest is the one for me? I really don;t have any idea. I'm from Asia (Philippines) and phone is not locked by a mobile carrier.

I've found a very similar sounding problem experienced by another user in this thread
I'm afraid that I don't know which of those ROMS would be best for you, I imagine one of the HTC ones, sorry....
Ensure that you continue to keep charging your device. Now, I'm grasping at straws now, but have you tried the above without a SIM inserted?
Same problem
I had the same problem much times!
I had to Factory Reset my phone every time it freezes!
When i did a factory reset, it was all ok until it appeared again
The only solution i found was to factory reset the phone..

Yes, I also did that. Unfortunate, nothing happens, if it does not froze it boots to that green HTC logo and stops there.
I guess the only solution is to bring this to the store where I purchased it.

I've seen another user @Skanob also from the Phillipines, if you look at the details within his signature in the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14748687&postcount=4 you should see details of the RUU ROM that you can/should try to flash.
I am actually downloading it now.
Hope this will fix it.
This will not void the warranty, right? Coz I'm gonna bring the phone to the service center later (it's 12.30AM here atm).

I'll be perfectly honest, I don't know if this voids warranty....sorry..
Ultimately, you're only putting back the same ROM as the phone has on it originally, but, bear in mind that in the other thread I posted above, re-flashing the original ROM didn't resolve the issue, so if there's any doubt that this might void the warranty - don't do it!

Flashing RUU won't void the warranty. How long are you waiting on the htc logo screen? It can take a while after factory reset...
It might be that some files were corrupted so flashing RUU should help. If not, connect your device to computer and see what logcat is showing
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
The longest was 25 minutes, then had it reboot again coz nothing happened. Also, when doing the Factory Reset it just hangs/do nothing, can't choose any option from the menu, have to remove the battery to turn the device off.
I'm gonna bring the phone to the service center in a while.

Bricked HTC One X

Hey guys.....
I tried flashing IceColdJelly on my HTC One X ATT and i was rushing and i just remembered a notice before i rebooted the phone that it says there was no OS something something to this rom and i clicked OK and it attempted to reboot. Now its not turning on at all. Cannot get into download mode or ANYTHING. Don't tell me to try pressing any more buttons because i've been doing that for the past 3 hours. I know my way around phones and this is my biggest problem i've ever faced. I put in the phone to the computer and it recognizes it but has 3 beeps after basically cannot do anything to the phone. I have TWRP recovery on it btw. Basically, its a paperweight. Cannot turn on a single freaking thing. Please help. I cannot thank you guys enough if you can help in any way....
Thanks.

You can recover if you had anything less than hboot 1.14 so if you were on software 2.20 before you rooted your out of luck

Taking the time to research before flashing a ROM that is not even meant for your phone would have saved a lot of heartache:

I have downgraded using JET from 1.14 to 2.20. Process includes bricking your phone to get into special recovery mode that give RW access to hboot, but you do need TWRP at some point I think (not sure though) to get in bricked, before you start downgrade, so you might not be able to downgrade.
However, I don't think you are SOL. Look into manual steps of downgrading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32761598&postcount=107
OP gives you there way to verify that device is connected and part of the steps is listing partitions. If you can get partitions listed on your PC, then I think you can just dd system image and it should come back to life... also have you tried 2.20 RUU? I had a corrupted system partition (bad sector causing reboot when I would try to access system - including booting phone or into twrp recovery). I ended up using RUU (which also failed from the same bug, but It actually reformatted my system partition giving me access to twrp and then I was able to restore).

This method will not work because he's corrupted his extended partition table. All that's left is the write-protected hboot, which the processor can't find because the partition table is gone. So he can't boot into recovery.
People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.
Next time don't go rooting and romming the day you get your phone.

If there is no ROM loaded onto the phone, as in doing a full /system wipe, the asserts will not work.
The assert that's being flashed looks at the build.prop that's already loaded onto the phone.

And of course, it's good practice to wipe /system when changing roms. I didn't think of that. That's obviously why people are still getting in trouble.

I don't ever wipe /system when flashing ROMs. It gets wiped when you flash anyway. I always wipe user data (factor reset), Dalvik and cache. But that's it.

Yep, if you format /system, the build.prop is gone, and the assert looks to the build.prop.. why it flashes, I don't know.
The way its set up seems like it would only flash if "ro.device=endeavoru" or whatever the line is, is present. I guess there is no fail safe to stop the process if the build.prop isn't present
Yeah, i'll skip the playing dumb idea. I prefer just going straight up to HTC about this. Would i be able to call in to HTC and ask them how much it costs? That is, if they accept these kinds of repairs.

They can fix any software corruption they have the tools too they know their phones front to back and can rewrite anything to them...just tell them what happened and they'll tell you the cost( maybe they'll feel bad and give a nice price) honesty can get you in good places sometimes

[Q] Hard Bricked? Don't see how....

Ladies and Gents,
I made sure I chose the correct RUU based on my CID (CWS__001)
I relocked my phone and attempted to install "RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_ 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed.exe". After the RUU finished my phone seems to be hard bricked.
Won't Boot.
No power lights.
I knew this could happen when flashing an international version. AFTER getting owned I also found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929. Which was blatantly in the beginning of the forum. Has anyone found a fix for this issue, or is my only option JTAG repair?
Thanks,

You could take your phone back and tell them it won't boot etc.
If you can't get it to boot neither can they, so no-one will know it's been unlocked/rooted.
Some people will say this is fraudulent, but hey, if you can live with yourself who cares what anyone else thinks?
Pft I returned mine to Telus when the same thing happened to me. The way I see it, it was HTC's RUU that bricked my phone, not me. Like you, I did not have supercid and was S-ON.
You could try the unbrick Evita thread. If you make it past step 3 you can save your phone.
You'll need to boot to Linux.

Just curious about your situation. Did the kernel flash successfully and then just not boot? What ROM were you flashing it over? Tons of people, myself included, have flashed that kernel without issue so I'm interested in what exactly happened.

Sure, I too have used their kernels and have never had an issue until this time. So I started to install the kernel and it froze at I believe 60%? Then it sat... It said the flash could take awhile so to just wait so I did... For 2 hours. I knew something wasn't right because no elemental flash has taken my phone longer than a few minutes before this one so without thinking i'd hurt anything I held the buttons to hard power off the phone. After it shut off it's been completely dead since. No charge lights, no sign of any life at all other then the QHSUSB_DLOAD under device manager when plugged into my PC. the rom that I had flashed was the latest cleanrom. super bummed but i'll get over it. the worst part about this was I had pics of my kids that I had not backed up that are now lost.

That does suck about the pictures. That would upset me more than the phone as well. I went and looked at the thread after I saw your post and saw a couple of other bricks aside from yours in the last couple of hundred posts. Very unfortunate that flashing a kernel bricked it. I try to stay away from anything that uses the Aroma Installer unless there are no other options, not saying that was the problem, but I've had numerous issues with it previously. After seeing multiple bricks from a basic kernel flash I'm going to definitely be more cautious about what I flash from now on. I'd be totally screwed if I bricked this phone. Anyway, hope you end up with something better out of this, like the HTC One.

Funny thing about the One... I was thinking about getting it but after this issue I will never look at another phone that doesn't have a removable sd card...
I think a key thing to note here is that you are flashing software that has been altered by someone you don't know and you can never be sure that things will work out. There's huge risks associated with rooting/unlocking your phone. If there wasn't HTC would warrant your phone regardless of what you do.
If you don't have an answer to the question "What will I do when I brick my phone?" don't root. Whenever modding anything, consoles, phones, set top boxes, I always assume that I will render it unusable. If that doesn't sit well with me, I don't modify it. That should be the general rule of thumb to follow.

I think a key thing to note here is that you are flashing software that has been altered by someone you don't know and you can never be sure that things will work out. There's huge risks associated with rooting/unlocking your phone. If there wasn't HTC would warrant your phone regardless of what you do.
If you don't have an answer to the question "What will I do when I brick my phone?" don't root. Whenever modding anything, consoles, phones, set top boxes, I always assume that I will render it unusable. If that doesn't sit well with me, I don't modify it. That should be the general rule of thumb to follow.

Install twrp 2.3.3.1 and reformat sd card with a pc. Move Rom to sd and reflash. And also what hboot? I know you said s-off bit did you fastboot the boot.img and see is that helped?

thanks first of all I was on CMW, formatted the drive as computer prompted, lost the data but was able to flash the ROM and fastboot the boot image to phone.
Now only one problem the phone restarts and then goes to boot loop everytime I have to fastboot the boot image file.
DO I need to change the recovery and is there any way to by pass the fastboot process? Sorry for noob question

Need backup

Hey guys, need full CWM backup or TWRP backup. Phone always shows 77% battery state, flash original and custom roms does not resolve my problem. Thanks a lot.
Have you tried RUUing?
Sent from my Evita
Download an original, imo UrDroid, for an easier installation. Same thing happened to me, or try to hard reboot your phone, hold power and down volume, let it shut off and repeat until you are in bootloader -> factory reset then reboot

No! Never factory reset in bootloader on a modified phone! It corrupts the sd card. You need to learn more before you start giving advice, giving advice when you don't know what you're doing is dangerous, you'll damage someone's phone. Plus, he already stated that changing ROMs didn't work. He needs to run an RUU.

factory resetting from bootloader will load his recovery, and, I've tried RUU as well, and I don't think they will work unless you can access your phone, which I don't know if he can, I think I got mixed up with another thread.

You're completely mixed up. Factory resetting from bootloader will corrupt his sd card. You only ever factory reset in recovery. Never, ever factory reset in bootloader. He never said he had problems accessing recovery, he said he needs a backup to restore via recovery. RUU will work perfectly fine, his only problem is that the battery icon is always showing 77%
@element100500
NEVER FACTORY RESET IN BOOTLOADER, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS OTHER PERSON'S ADVICE. What you need to do is run an RUU, make sure you have s-off first though.

I was confused with the thread from the guy who installed a wrong OTA Update, any who, Bootloader factory reset was always a fast way for me to do it, and didn't have any errors. Thanks, though.

Do you have this phone? Factory reset in bootloader on an unlocked One XL results in a corrupt sd card.

Ok, well like I said before, do some more learning before giving out advice. I'm not trying to be mean, but giving advice when you don't know enough could have catastrophic results. For example: if this guy had followed your advice to factory reset in bootloader he would have lost all of the data on his sd card. I doubt you want to be responsible for that.

i flashed RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial rom, MIUI rom, tried factory reset using recovery, but had no luck.
this phone comes to me with deat boot (qhsusb_dload), i erase all flash memory and resurrect bootloader, imei, recovery, etc after.
now phone fully worked, but shows only 77%, shows charging with usb connect, but really did not charge, and wan't startup when battery low. think battery calibration losed after erase.
so if you can make backup on working phone - please give me.
sorry for bad english, my native language is russian
I'd love to, but I only have a small data allowance so I can't upload a file that big. I hope someone else sees this and can help you out though.

I think you are mixed up about a great many things, and should not be dispensing advice.
What on earth does doing a factory reset in hboot have to do with getting into recovery? All it will do is bork up the SD.

[Q] Data Recovery Help?

Hello,
I had a few issues with my HTC One XL, and decided to take the plunge and factory restore my phone. There was nothing that I could think of that I wanted other than my photos, so I backed up all my photos to my PC, and got to restoring it.
Once it was done I realised that I had notes I wish to keep. These notes were quite important to me. Is there any way to get these notes back? My phone is not rooted and on Android 4.2.2. This wouldn't be such a hassle if my phone wasn't running in MTP when I plug it into my computer.
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you.
P.S I'm new when it comes to phone terminology so excuse any silly questions, or if I don't understand what you're saying.
P.P.S Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I'm 90% sure it's not. I have been up all night trying to figure this out and this is my last hope.
There are data recovery programs available for Windows that might be able to recover your data, but if you've written to the sd card since the wipe those chances are slimmer.

I have tried around 4 or 5 recovery programs. They are unable to continue as they require the device to be in USB mass storage mode. My phone won't do that because it constantly goes through MTP.
I have not written ANYTHING to the SD card since.
The only way I can think of to get it to mount in usb mass storage mode is through a custom recovery, for which you'd need an unlocked bootloader.

With an unlocked bootloader, that deletes absolutely everything, doesn't it?
It deleted texts/call logs etc but it left all my photos and music alone.

Should I just do it and hope to God it doesn't rid of it haha?
I'd at least try it. Look at it this way, if you don't try your data is gone, if you try and it fails your data is still gone but at last you have a chance at restoring it.

Well now my phone won't turn on at all, it is doing something as the computer is saying that it's picking up a USB but can not recognise it.
Screen is black.
What were you doing directly before this happened? Is the device registering on the PC as anything? Perhaps QHSUSB_DLOAD? I certainly hope not.

Don't say that to me. I'm pretty sure I just read QHSUSB_DLOAD in the Device Installing thing on Windows.... I'll double check if I can.
Oh dear, QHSUSB_DLOAD means a brick. What had you done/attempted beforehand?
Sent from my Evita
Yep, just double checked and it's QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I was on what I believe is the last step of rooting it. Unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. Just went to enter recovery the last time and it didn't turn back on.
Which recovery did you flash? What's the exact filename?
Sent from my Evita
Knowing me it's problem wrong, I tried to do as much research as I could...
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-endeavoru.img
It did boot after I flashed it though.
(Sorry if it takes a while to reply, I have to wait 5 minutes between them due to being a newcomer)
Oh no. That's a recovery for the HTC One X. The Endeavoru part of the filename means HTC One X (it's the codename). The codename for the HTC One XL is Evita. There's a slight chance you can recover it by trying the Evita Unbricking thread, to be honest most attempts fail at the enumerating partitions step but it's worth a shot. Sorry I don't have a link but if you Google Evita Unbricking it should come up, it has WIP in the title somewhere. It requires a Linux OS, a virtual Linux setup should do the trick. If that doesn't work you'll need to get a jtag repair done (about $60 USD).

Well I guess there's where I dropped the ball. haha.
Thank you for all your help, I'll try the first method and if all else fails I might just let go of the phone...
Hoping for the best.
If you don't want to have it repaired, you can sell it for parts (screen, speakers etc) and at least recoup a little bit a cash out of it.

The fix semi worked. It's now rebooting constantly at the HTC white screen.
