IceColdJelly is for the international One X, not the AT&T One XL.
Someone else managed to brick their phone doing this. Check this thread and do what I told the other guy:

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.

You're bricked, sorry. There is a way out if you have access to a Linux computer; see that other thread.

yea same here cant even get into recovery, same error sound when connected to the pc. Dont have access to a linux computer, No effect when i try to put in recovery mode or anything. Looks like im going to have to get a new phone

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

Totally possible. I don't recall, or haven't seen it. I've seen a few posts to the effect of "if you have Linux, it can be fixed, PM me" but that is all I've seen. Would be nice if there was a writeup we can point people to (and I can add to my index thread).

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)

Yes Odin is Samsung. Get in touch with the s-off guys they have been playing around with download mode and may be able to help.
Borrowed this maybe it throwing you into recovery may help, also they said fastboot flash works, maybe flash twrp from fastboot.
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.

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?

[Q] I may have just hardbricked my One X... o.O

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.

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.

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.

Phone won't boot after rom flash?

I got my one x last week and rooted it a few days ago via the all in one method found here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 ) and everything worked including superuser. After a few days of use I decided to try the icecoldjelly aokp rom found here ( http://onexroot.com/one-x-roms/icecoldjelly-aokp-rom-for-rooted-one-x-android-4-1-2/ ). The rom flash said successfull and so did the gaps zip. Then when I pressed reboot the phone never cam back on. I tired living it charging overnight in case it lost charge (even though it showed almost full before I flashed). I'm not sure but I think I may be out luck?
Is there anything I can try to get this thing to boot up?

Is your mmcblk0p4 from 2.20? I don't know if that would matter.
I think it's because we are using Ubuntu 12.10 and not 12.04, will report back eventually..
12.10 is not happening, if it's successful on 12.04, even just the unbrick method, I'm not concerned about the downgrade anymore, this could be good news for our little international rom lovers
Will try 12.04 sometime today

12.10 is not happening, if it's successful on 12.04, even just the unbrick method, I'm not concerned about the downgrade anymore, this could be good news for our little international rom lovers
Will try 12.04 sometime today

sorry i was out...no partition is from 1.85 or maybe even 1.73 don't remember,
any luck ?? have you tried to talk to beaups or 18th.abn ?
Unbricking has been a real pain in the butt using ubuntu, we found it to much easier and more successful using tinycore from a bootable USB. I don't know why, but it's been proven on several devices so try that. Also, p4 holds the device imei and cid, when it gets corrupted in may be causing the soft brick because p12 is dependent on its information since it also displays the device imei and phone info, so do p12, make sure your using a signed image and do p4, which can be any p4, the imei will just have to be repaired afterward. It will spring to life, I promise you

@crappy, nah we had to stop for the night cause I had to get up early and get senior pictures taken.
I had him install Ubuntu 12.04 rather than use a LiveCD, so we'll try it again later today.
@18th
We got to the point where it starts writing p4, but hangs and continuously sends the Reset, I posted in the thread over at the evo LTE forum asking about it, holding the power button for 30+ seconds as suggested prints an error cannot reset device
I am using mmcblk0p4 from crappy, and your hboot from dropbox.
On the hox, you only need to hold down the power button for about 10-12 seconds so 30 may be too long and sending a time out to the emmc recover tool

[DRIVERS] [UnBrick hoxl project start] QHSUSB_DLOAD

Okay so if you are like me and have installed the OTA Update or ran the 3.18 ruu with an S-On Device chances are You are currently hard bricked which in most cases leaves 4 options, Option 1. Try to get a replacement through the carrier or Manufacturer Option 2. Send it off for a repair or Option 3 try and fix it yourself. Option 4 Toss the device and look elsewhere.
I Personally am going with Option 3 and am attempting to figure out a working Unbrick Method that does not require a RIFF box so with that said i will be working in this thread in an effort to get an unbrick project working. Feel free to add your knowledge, input, and advice in the proceeding posts below.
Please Note if you are using Windows 8 you will need to disable driver signature enforcement, while there are many ways to do this by far the easiest way is to open an Elevated Command Prompt and enter
Code:
bcdedit /set {globalsettings} advancedoptions true
when you restart your Computer choose option 7. To Disable Advanced Boot Options Enter
Code:
bcdedit /set {globalsettings} advancedoptions false
I suggest that you try reading here. I hard bricked my device before while trying to downgrade my HBOOT version from 1.14 to 1.09.

To sum it up, he could still access his bootloader, but couldn't flash anything. By accessing rebootRUU, he managed to place his phone into a brick mode which allowed Linux to recognize and write to the boot partition. To enter that sort of brick mode, he flashed an UNSIGNED HBOOT file, which would have been fine since he was S-ON. BUT, once he sent in the command for S-ON, the device saw the UNSIGNED HBOOT and rebricked. He was then able to re-write the P4 file, which contains all your device information (IMEI, CID etc.). Then flash in the recovery, access the recovery, and flash your ROM.
I don't know how different that hard brick is from yours, but it worked for me. Can you access your bootloader btw?

If you find one, let Leamstears know. He has a thread posted somewhere asking for it.
Also, you might search for unbrick evita in general section. There was a thread started awhile back by my buddy.

I am not sure if this is helpful at all, but I was looking into methods used to unbrick other HTC devices and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351 I am not sure what all I would need to change to get it to work for our phone. if you have any thoughts I would be more than willing to look at it.

I'm not sure it will really help. The first part is to run brickdetect.sh. That script appears to try to enumerate the partitions. I tried to enumerate my partitions using the manual steps in mirgantrophy's unbrick evita thread to no success before I sent my device off for JTAG. You could always try to run the brickdetect.sh script and see though. It doesn't do anything to your phone. It just searches dmesg (a Linux log) for the partitions being detected when you attach the bricked phone via USB. Don't run the rest of it though. ;-P
I'd like see a method to fix emmc of an htc inspire 4g(htc ace). Can any of our methods be transposed for other htc devices?
do you think this would work on a samsung device? i flashed a skyrocket rom for my S2 and it was sposed to be fine but it decided not to be. or at least work on a project for samsung devices.... dont leave us hanging

I definitely would not try this on any device other than the device it's intended for. Completely different chipsets.

Well you've bricked your phone. That ROM is not for our phone.

How unbrick :'( You have idea?
You can either get a jtag repair or send it to HTC to have the motherboard replaced. Jtag is the cheaper option. When you get it back, make sure you stay within our forum and only flash software intended for our device.

i never thought run RUU with s-on device will brick it. Will it be more correct to say "run RUU on device with s-on & supper cid will brick you device"
