[Q] Stuck on HTC, Can't boot into bootloader - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello all,
I rooted my HTC One XL a couple weeks back, installed CM10 (all was working fine), and in the process of installing the latest CM10 nightly, something went wrong. Flashed boot.img, then rom, then gapps. Wiped cache and dalvic cache, asked TWRP to restart system. This is where it's stuck now. It won't go past the htc logo, and I can't get into the bootloader by holding down power+vol down.
What did I do wrong? Is this fixable? Any help is greatly appreciated!

H8rift is working on a solution right now. If you can flash back to a backup? I would do so.

First off, can you get into TWRP, and do you have a backups of the time before you flashed the rom. When you hold power+vol down are you holding power until the home back and kill app buttons flash 6 times then release and hold vol down around 7 seconds till you see the screen with android skateboarders(Bootloader)
Second, I think their is a kit (Hasoons) Which you can try to boot you into bootloader or twrp recovery. But if your phone powers on, then i think your device is not a paperweight yet so dont worry to much as i think it can be fixed.

I did the same thing with my phone. Now I am successfully running ViperXL 2.1.2
Are you able to "fastboot oem lock" from the fastboot cmd prompt?

I can't get into TWRP, and I have backups on the device. I am sorry for being a dummy, but you're saying the manual way to enter the boot loader is to hold power+voldown for 6 flashes, then release the power button but hold the voldown for 7 more seconds? I've just been holding down both for the full 15 flashes. I am going to look up Hasoons rn.
THANKS!!

You are supposed to hold Power and Volume Down until the screen shuts off, then let go of power and continue holding volume down

So your saying you can't get into bootloader but, you got into TWRP?
The correct way to get into bootloader is hold power+vol down until screen goes off, then release power button.
If that doesn't work you can try to open bootloader through the fastboot cmd prompt.(if you ahve Win7 just open the file where fastboot is, hold shift+right click and you can open the prompt from there)

What he said, but after your phone powers off, when i held it for around 7 more seconds, it booted into bootloader when i did it .But try both methods.I was stuck in a bootloop as well, you will be fine. I forgot commands for fastboot, but if anyone wants to tell them to him he could prob get into fastboot by command prompt mabye?

type "fastboot devices"
your serial number should be on the screen if fastboot recognizes your phone. but I was always able to get into bootloader through commands on the phone.
Also, I can't thank Absolutelygrim and a few others whom I can't think of their names for helping me out of that situation.
ANYTHING Absolutelygrim says, I would listen and take note.

It's always best to Nandroid before you flash a ROM.
I didn't and I almost made my phone into a very expensive paperweight. Thank god for RUUs.
I also tried to flash a ROM that was for the international version and not the XL which is our phone.

Mods will eventually Close it, just ingnore the thread and it will be closed soon.

If you want to, I know posting a thread in here can amount to a long wait time, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email. I get that directly to my phone so I'll be able to reply a lot quicker.

I have the same problem as this guy, but when I hol the volume down button, it has no effect... I hold vol down and power, lights flash 15 times, I keep holding volume down while phone reboots, but no matter how long I hold it down, it just stays at the HTC legal screen.
Was running CM 10.0, and updated to 10.1 (9-3-2012 nightly) with 3-03-2013 GAPPS, via TWRP. Made a backup before flash, Installed both the zips succefully, pressed reboot, and now it doesn't get past the legal screen, and no button pressing is getting me back to TWRP =(
I replaced the screen once, and the volume buttons behaved differently after I re-assembled. Both the buttons work, but they act differently. Pressing vol down or vol up both bring up the volume dialog, but instead of increasing or decreasing the amount, it swtiches between mute and non mute. So I'm thinking the button is not actually doing a 'volume down' action. Any thoughts?
AND, how do you actually turn this device off? It keeps turning itself back on after the 15 flashes.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Can't go to bootloader, always goes to ClockworkMod recovery

Hey people my first post so you can call me whatever you want
Here is the thing:
I rooted the phone, installed a custom ROM and such, on the process I guess I installed this Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.1.
Well I wanted to change the ROM so I downloaded the new one (lastest trickdroid) and follow the steps, BUT!, when trying to acces the fastboot thing on that menu that can't remeber the name of, I jsut can't get into it.
When I tart the phone pressing volume down + power, instead of going to that menu it goes to clockwork mod. I was suposed to "Flash the stock boot.img from the ROM with fastboot", but well I dont know what I did or wahtever, I can't aces that menu.
What should I do?

I am having what seems like the same issue with my phone. Just posted a thread not too long ago asking for help. One person (a SR. Member) informed me to try to restore using a NANDROID backup (which I dont have). Going off of his advice, if you have the backup, try that. If not, we both seem to have the same problem. Good luck with your issue, I will be checking both our threads for solutions from now on!

Hey again, I found some useful information that allowed me to get into my bootloader! If you are still stuck in CWM, use the volume down button to go down to the "advanced" button at the bottom of the list. Since this is a button that leads to another list and not a direct action, you can hold down the power button when highlighted over it and turn the phone off. From there, just hold Volume Down and Power as you would normally do to boot into the bootloader. Hope this helps since it worked for me!
So:
-Navigate to "advanced" (Just highlight over it)
-Hold power button for 10-15 seconds
-Phone should power off
-Volume Down + Power to boot into Bootloader
-Profit?? (Just Kidding )
Again, hope I could be of some assistance!

well I dont know what I did. I just turned the phone off normally. Then did the power + b down, held it for about 6 seconds, relesead the power then the volume and BOM, bootlader appeared, hmmm okay I guess
Have a look at fragkiller1 thread for fixing your issue.
well now I can't even get into CWM sigh
A brief flash of a screen appears now while booting it, but it just skips to the actual OS. I have the fast boot disabled ohh man what do now? DId I mess up something?

Try holding Vol- when turning it off and keep hold of it but quickly let go of power when it turns off.

thanks it worked perfectly. I thought it only worked powering off and turining it on and holding volume down.
edit: sigh now I have another problem, after using fastboot usb with the Boot_Flash_Script from trickdroid, the phone is stuck at the the screen that says"this build is for development pourpuses only..." and it won't go further
edit2: I think I falshed a ROM for VilleC2 when I have a Ville, is there a way to fix this? the phone now is stuck at loading the screen with red words

Ya, make sure you got the right rom and get yourself back into the bootloader and you should see recovery there then do a full wipe and flash the rom and also if you feel you might of flashed the wrong boot.img reflash it to make sure.
So it's over, all solved.
I tried to install a new ROM but CWM got me an error mounting the SD, then I installed another recovery (TWR) and installed the new ROM (viper one s) flashed the boot.img and now everthing works wonders, for now.
Thanks a lot Darknites for trying to help me I really appreaciate that

Np dude glad you got it sorted but ya TWRP is way better for the sd mount and if you have 1.09 or lower Hboot it can also flash boot.img.

[Q] Stuck with bootloop no bootloader access :/

Hello, just to start I have read through probably 100 post regarding similar issues but none are working. I have the ATT Htc one x EVITA 3.18 version. I did the super CID unlocked my bootloader through htc dev, flashed twrp recovery, and got a custom rom, gapps etc.. in twrp I wiped all data,system,cache, factory reset. Then flashed my rom and gapps (being kinda new to HTC devices I didn't flash the boot.img from the rom) now my phone after restarting just continues a bootloop (HTC Quietly Brilliant) screen, then powers off repeating this over and over.. I tried holding the volume down with the power button it just loops again, the I tried some other suggestions like holding power and vol down until the flashes stop and releasing power while continuing to hold volume down, again loops, then tried using volume up as well...none of these are working I don't understand what happened and why I can't get into any of these? I did not run any RUU. I tried using adb but of course i cant get into fastboot or anything so the phone is not recognized. If anyone could please help I really do appreciate it. I know this has been all over the threads but I read for the past 3 hours and could not get anything to work.. Thanks in advanced for any help it is much appreciated. :crying:
First of all, don't hold volume up and power, that's bad news. Trying random button combinations is a really bad idea. While it's looping just hold volume and the next time it starts again it should reach the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply timmaaa... I usually would not try the other button presses just someone else had said that worked for them, but thanks for the advice. I did try what you said and just holding the volume down button, let it bootloop, and keep holding and it just continues to bootloop :/ it stay off for about 20 seconds the same then bootloops, with the htc screen for about 5 seconds the rinse and repeats D**n this thing is annoying. Any other Ideas? Thanks again man appreciate it.

are you sure you did get the SUPER CID cause if its not then you can RUU your device!
cause if you are not SUPERCID get a matching RUU or a latest version meant for your device!
only if you could somehow manage your phone to get recognized by a PC etc then you could flash boot.img with some toolkit etc and everything would have been fine!
but unless some expert actually figures out your problem dont RUU!
i really wonder whats obstructing the boot loader access!??
please let me know if u can get your device back to normal!

I had to change the CID to unlock the bootloader on htc dev, its like 11111 so that is super CID right?
Yea I've tried everything to get to adb since I am familiar with adb but its a no go none of the tool kits or even manual cmd is recognizing the device.. I had a one x just like this before and never had the problem getting into bootloader so I don't really get what is blocking it. Only thing I had done was flash twrp recovery, wiped data/factory reset, system and cache, then flashed the rom as one usually would and gapps, just I had forgot about these phones needing you to flash the boot.img. that is all I did to it. Kinda sucks I just got this thing yesterday from a friend too.
Yes, 11111111 is SuperCID. In any case I probably wouldn't attempt an RUU while the phone is this unstable, could be quite dangerous. It's possible the "adb reboot bootloader" command might work if you catch it at the right time in the boot cycle.

Thanks bud, well I can't get it to catch even using super finger speed cmd'ing lol.. oh well.. I'm not gonna try anything else other than the usual ways to get into bootloader until someone else has some idea what might be blocking it from entering. Is there anyway to turn it off? its just restarting over and over with the bootloop. Or does one just let it go dead? I suppose worse case senario sending it for Jtag would fix it right? thanks again to the both of you.
I believe in the command window your can press the down key to give the previous command again, so if you hit down and enter one after the other (spamming it) you might have a chance. I'm really surprised that continually holding volume down during the loop process isn't getting you to bootloader, that's very strange. There's no way to turn it off. But, it usually burns through a fair bit of battery during a boot loop so you could wait for it to die completely, charge it for a couple of hours, and then try the volume down + power combination to get to the bootloader. I hope it works, let us know how you go.

I will let you all know once its working again and what I did or had to do to get it back so that it may possibly help others that run into the same issue. If not I suppose I'll try to get it Jtagged, too nice of a phone to use as a paperweight really

Hold down the power button until the phone turns off. You'll see the buttons flash. This simulates a battery pull. Then wait a few secs then hold vol down and press power button for 2 secs while still holding vol down. Wait for bootloader
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
You should hold volume down while holding power. Holding power alone just initiates a reboot, not a power down, so if you're not holding volume down at the same time when the reboot kicks in it'll just reboot as normal.

If you are trying while the phone is plugged into power it will not work.
The method I use is to hold power until the screen shuts off then I let go of power and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.

Yes I don't have power plugged in, I've never had a problem like this. . I also don't even have to turn off the screen everytime it loops it goes off for a good 20 seconds or more. But I did try what you all said too and it seems there is not even an effect at all it just loops
YAY!! I was messing around and held volume up and volume down with power, and it put the phone into some kind of off/sleep mode, then it recognized the device in windows device manager and said device cannot start, so I tried uninstalling the driver and then refreshed to let it reinstall them and during the reinstall i tried running the adb command and it let me back into bootloader! woo! that was lucky.. hopefully this can be helpful to others that get stuck like that. I'm worried now though i have bootloader sitting pretty what should I do first? I'm scared to loop again thanks all.

[Q] Hard brick?

Hey Guys,
so ive been messing around with this little phone and think i might have managed a hard brick. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
was attempting to relock the bootloader and flashing my local 4.4.2 rom and on the command prompt when i reached flash system.img parsechunk lines, they failed. as it said permission denied.
Tried to continue with no luck. Restarted my phone and now cant get into recovery and no boot, the only screen i see is the white warning bootloader locked screen, get a vibrate and then it turns off again. Any ways to flash without Recovery or Fastboot or am i completely out of luck?
Sorry im new to motorolas, had no problems messing around with my old SGS2
Thanks in advance everybody.
did you try this ?

I've been in a few situations where I thought I had 'bricked' my phone. One way that worked (sometimes) was to long press the POWER button for a very long time(minutes), then release and (sometimes) it would reboot.
The usual way to the fastboot menu is - power off (which yours probably is), then hold vol. down and press power button for 5/10 seconds and release both.
Good luck!

The only screen i can get now is the bootloader unlocked screen or the white charging screen when plugged in. After that the screen will stay on but is completely black.

hard bricked my MT-TL10

Hi there,
Kindly help... I successfully installed B512 on my TL10 using force upgrade method, afterwhich I changed recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 using mobopx v2.2, which was also successful. And then I installed SuperSU 2.46 via TWRP, then cleared cache/dalvik. But upon rebooting system, I get a blank screen, even after waiting for more than 15 minutes.
And so I tried going to TWRP (Vol+ and power), which was successful, in order to boot to bootloader, with the intention of loading back the stock bootloader via adb, so that I can force install B512 from my microSD card again. It seemed to install fine...
However, at this point, I cannot reboot to bootloader (Vol- and power) anymore, I only get blank screen. Trying recovery (Vol+ and power) doesn't work either. Rebooting normally gives me the same. I cannot by any means connect via adb now.
Is there any way to unbrick my phone at this point?
Thanks so much. Cheers.
Works entrance for the recovery (Vol+ and Vol- and Power)?

What happens when you do a Vol up + power?

The phone "doesn't want to turn off" bro. It has fully discharged, but as soon as I plug the charger in, it immediately powers up. When it does, now it shows the Huawei logo. But it's stuck there, and if I press the power button for a few secs, it will power down, but immediately power up again...

Let it get fully charged first. Then remove the charger and keep the Vol up and power button pressed for ~10 secs or more, and see where it takes you.

Done bro. Although I must say, I'm kinda back like yesterday when the phone is just helplessly discharging until it drops dead. Pressing vol+ and power restarts the phone, but I'm still stuck at the logo...

You seem to be in a sticky situation bro. Your recovery seems to be broken because in stock recovery Vol up + power should ideally take you to recovery and not restart. If you could somehow boot into fastboot mode then it could open up some options to bring your phone to life.
With no way to connect to the phone the only options left are the hardware buttons. I am sure you'd have tried them already, but just in case you have not, try the other 2 key combinations also, Vol down + power and Vol up + Volume down + power, for ~10 secs, to check if any of these either forces a factory reset or boots the phone into fastboot mode.

That's correct bro. Although it appears from adb that I was able to install the stock recovery, I cannot access it with Vol+ and power.

Yes, I did. And I can't even boot to bootloader after all that... The phone only seems to charge, but is stuck at the logo.
I'm ready to send this to Huawei's service center. Is there anything more I can do at this point before I do that? Thanks so much.

Thanks bro, but that's what I did, or at least was planning to do. After rooting B512 via TWRP, the phone got stuck at the logo. And so I tried to install stock recovery, which it did, in order to reflash the stock ROM. But at this point I'm still stuck at the logo, and I can't access recovery and BL anymore. The BL is unlocked right from the start...

Did you try volume down and then plug USB in on computer then command prompt fast boot reboot it may work.

Go ahead, send it to Huawei service centre. They'll have ways to reach the internal memory after opening up the device.

Thank you for this suggestion brother. I tried exactly as you described, however, the phone looks badly discharged, and while the screen was blinking/showing the red battery icon, it doesn't seem to want to charge. I waited around 5 minutes, but nothing seems to progress from here.
And so now, I moved the USB cable to a proper charger, and now it seems to be charging, with the LED light a steady red, and the screen the normal red circle with "0%" inside. It seems to be charging at the moment, although I really have to wait until it shows "1%" until I can surely say so.
One thing that's different now is that the phone hasn't turned on (by itself) yet. And at least this looks promising.
I'll let you know what happens in a while... Thank you!

Problem accessing the twrp 3.1.1.0

Hi everyone. I have an honor 6x emui 5, android 7 Nougat, and I unlocked the bootloader but I have a problem (I followed this guide) after running the command C:\ adb> adb reboot recovery, it says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can not be trusted.
To learn more, visit:
...
your device is booting now "
but it stays stuck on this screen and does not let me access the twrp.
Do you have a solution?
I looked around for something but there is nothing concrete and clear. Thanks a lot.
Luigi (i'm not Mario's brother)
Hi Luigi (ouch, thought it was Mario's bro :silly: ), once you flash TWRP through fastboot, you boot directly to it in way to don't let Huawei Recovery overwrite it immediately after?
To do this, as you finish to flash the image you'll need to boot to TWRP using hardware keys (at least that's what i did to make it works). When you're still in fastboot mode and TWRP is flashed, keep pressed power button and wait until your phone's display becomes black.
Be ready to hold down power button and Vol+ together as soon as you feel the phone vibrating while restarting (pay many attention to this step because it's the trickiest part - power button should be released while phone it's on black screen, but you'll for have to re-hold down power button again shortly after! Basically just hold the two keys and release them immediately as you see the Honor logo) and if everything went well, you'll finally be in TWRP.
Lemme know if you'll be able to win the game or if you need a Power-Up mushroom.

but then this operation I have to execute it before or even after visualizing the screen that I have told you before?
The point is that the twrp does not flash ...:crying:
I tried several times to execute the sequence, and now it is stuck on the screen of the 3 options, ie it does not start anymore
he did not want to. How do I do now? I've tried any combination of buttons but it remains locked :crying:

Immediately after that you've flashed TWRP and you get "success" message, when you're still on fastboot mode. Just type "fastboot reboot" and prepare to hold the keys once phone vibrates.

Telling me what issues you're facing could help more than this. What you mean with TWRP does not flash?

That's weird. But until I'll know more about the steps you did, helping becomes harder. Tell me something because just flashing stuff to recovery partition could not mess system that much, unless that you've flashed a wrong TWRP or the correct TWRP but in a wrong partition.
