[Q] htc one x at&t soft brick help please :(

:crying: please somebody help me, im desperate, my dad just bought me the htc one x at&t for a gift after my galaxy s 2 got stolen a while back, i had previous exerience rooting, unlocking, and modding basic stuff, the only thing i didnt like about the phone was the multitasking button instead of a menu button, so i rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using the method on onexroot.com and it all worked and i installed twrp recovery, but when i flashed the button remap (cant remember which one) it now gets stuck at the one x screen, i figured this wasnt a problem and i could just download another rom and flash it, but from recovery usb wont moun it get and error something like
something about the sdcard
checking partitions
E: cant mount sd card
E: failed to open lunfile (doesnt exist)
i might be messing up but i am unable to get it to appear in adb always says device not found
am i screwed? am i stuck with a broken rom that cant be fixed?
Please help, it will mean the world to me

Uh read up on ODIN. I used it to get my friends SGS out of a soft brick. I'm not sure if it's for the one x though. What it does is after you put your phone into recovery mode or force pushes a ROM to the SD card then flashes it. Also try googling a tool to force it into recovery. ODIN might I'm not too sure though.

Can you load into the bootloader..?
<Hold power button for ~10 seconds until the buttons flash at the bottom>
<Once its off, hold the power button and the Volume Down [NOT UP = Very bad]>
That should load up the bootloader. Then you can attempt to go into the recovery again OR reinstall it through bootloader.
Now if that doesn't work, You can attempt running the 1.85 RUU from your computer. It <might> overwrite all existing partitions and create a solid and fresh foundation for re-rooting and all.

And to answer your question if you're screwed, in my experience it is almost never an issue to get your phone out of a soft brick as long as you can access some sort of recovery.

heres the rundown
bootloader - yes
recovery - yes
adb - no
fastboot - yes
mount storage - no (makes recovery kinda useless)
i sure hope im not screwed, but since i cant find a way to get a clean rom on the phone i dont see a way to fix it, odin is strictly samsung sadly, and i know nothing about ruu, i dont care about root or anything anymore i just want my phone to work so whatever it takes

Ok, I wasnt sure about ODIN. Try an RUU. Basically an RUU is an .exe or executable file that is almost completely automated that flashes the complete package (Rom, radio, kernel). It might not work depending on what you have installed on windows (drivers and such). You might have to uninstall HTC drivers & sync and try again if that doesn't work install the drivers only then rerun the RUU. RUU is your best bet now. Download one and start the exe. Remember if you're on Mac OSX or linux you're going to have to use a Virtual machine or windows emulator to run the RUU

i have my mac dualbooted with windows 8 consumer preview, interestingly fastboot doesnt work on the windows end but it does on a mac, im gunna assume i did more than one thing wrong when i previously tried (failed to detect device) to ruu it, where do i get the ruu, where do i get the drivers, and if i use a virtual machine do i need the drivers?
your help is much appreciated

Mac OSX is not the right platform to be using nor is windows 8 (because it is unproven and still in beta). I would recommend using a fresh installation. If you have a windows 7 .ISO you can install it and use it for 30 days before they lock you out with out a key.
Here is a helpful tool to install it as fast as possible VIA USB (provided you have a >4GB drive) http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
If you are running Mac OSX here is an XDA developers guide for linux (Mac OSX is based off of Free BSD a linux distribution) by Jeepfreak. The process will differ some but not a lot.

Transfer the RUU's to your Vista comp using a USB drive.
Make sure you don't have HTC Sync or if you do it is not running in the background.

ok so i download the ruu, got that, i think i have the android sdk on that computer, will that cover any drivers i need? and for the ruu what to i have to do on the phone end?

i ran "fastboot getvar version-main" and it returned "version-main: 1.73.502.1" will the difference between .502 vs .502.1 make a differnece?

Shouldn't make a difference.... And i would try running the RUU first then download the necessary drivers if that doesn't work...

The .1 is for att. But you'll want to run the ruu in fast boot that's either the same version or a higher version like 1.85.502.1.

The drivers you can get off of htc's website under ATT ONE X, or just search XDA for them...
You do not need any commands to run an RUU. Like I said it is completely automated...

and what mode on the phone off, bootloader, fastboot?

Try Bootloader then Recovery. It usually does it for you though if you were booted into a ROM.

Irish has it right and fastboot make sure the fasboot USB is there. Then open and run the RUU and you're golden.

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP
Maybe I should just update and do it the way I've done before. :-/
Maybe I need an SD in the phone?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.

Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?

I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.

My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have been more specific. My phone has the latest t-mobile us update firmware version 3.14.531.11 i'm running the stock t-mobile rom. Bootloader is unlocked using htc dev
Steps; I uninstalled sync from my computer and extracted moonshine in the same folder where i have adb, fastboot installed. I tested adb commands to ensure the computer could communicate with the phone then I ran the distiller.exe and i can only get just past where it checks for updates (which is does successfully) then it fails. I read somewhere in a forum to freeze htc sync on the phone and i have tried this with still no luck. I have even tried deleting the apk with no result. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong but obviously something as others seem to have no problems. I have tried this on two different computers now with the same result.
Thanks again for your help

HTC Sync is the biggest obstacle. What step are you failing. There are 3 steps for testing. I could not get past 2nd and finally decided to tun in Linux. I had installed Linux Mint v14 on second hd but do not use much. It come handy this time. Went trough with no errors. The Ubuntu have program called "wubi" (I think) that will let you install linux alone with windows. You can uninstall latter as any programs. The moonshine web site have version for linux. Some users experience success in Windows by freezing the Sync. Unfortunately, you can not uninstall without being s=off.
In developer section, there is moonshine thread. See if you can get more info there.

One of the very first things that moonshine checks for is to verify that USB debugging is turned On. I see that you have tested the adb but just wanted to make sure that the USB debugging it active.

I am sure USB debugging is active but i cannot even get to the steps everyone speaks of. When I get home i have a linux machine set up i will try. Thanks for all your help.

This looks like a good place for my question.. I'm running moonshine and I love it. I'm just wondering for future reference, will I need to take any additional special steps before returning to stock via RUU. I already know about stock recovery and kernels and what not, just wondering if i will need to do anything specifically with moonshine before reverting to stock. Thanks!

[Q] Getting Error 170 while trying to RUU to 3.18...what am I doing wrong?

As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.

Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

Just had the same issue trying to manually update my M9 to Nougat. Rebooted to download mode (Volume down & Power from off state) and it worked.

HTC One cant figure out what I need to do

I have an HTC One M7 from sprint that I owned for not even 6 months before it started randomly bootlooping and losing signal. I gave up on it and used it as a paper weight, but now I would like to finally get it functional again as my old phone is no longer usable. I am new to Android devices. I have read thread after thread for the past 2 days and have yet to fix this phone.
I have cleared all caches and done factory resets to no avail.
The phone is stuck in bootloop if it is allowed to restart as normal. Once booted, it will immediately reboot if you swipe to unlock. If you wait, it will display "com.htc.htcdialer not responding" before rebooting again. It does not bootloop if you put it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery whatever you call it. I am trying to just load Android Revolution on to the phone instead of retrying the old OS.
I have already unlocked bootloader. I originally tried to push the androidrevolution.zip to the phone, but ADB gave an "error: device not recognized". I tried to install twrp recovery, but fastboot gets stuck at "waiting on device". I understand I'm having issues with the PC not recognizing the phone. The only android thing in device manager is "Android 1.0" and it has no driver installed. I have installed multiple drivers and tried different ports and cables. I cannot use PDANet to install drivers to recognize it because I cannot get access to the phone to enable debug mode. I cannot use sideloading because I can't get the device to be recognized. Everything I try seems like a constant circle.
I don't know if I'm giving enough information or not. I'll answer any question/give whatever info you need to solve this.
Can anyone please give me any insight as to how I can get my phone to work before I get angrier and break it?

Has anyone else been in the same boat? Still struggling to figure this out.

If its a software related error you can get rid of it by flashing (installing) the stock firmware again. First you ned to check HBoot and CID. Connect your phone in "fastboot" bode, open commandline and type
fastboot getvar all
Post the output here (Delete your IMEI). Then i will get the right firmware for you and can guide you how to install it.
If the error is hardware related (signal loss?!) you probably can't do much on your own. What brings me no the next question: If you had the phone for just 6 month when the errors occured first, why didn't you let the vendor fix it? Phone still had guarantee.

It just says :
Waiting for device
My computer won't recognize the phone properly.
I took my phone to sprint and was told I would have to pay $65 for a used phone replacement, which I thought was ridiculous. I contacted HTC and was told I would have to pay shipping to send it in, and would be a week before I got an answer for it. (Fix it or refurbished one). So I said screw it, and reactivated my old phone. I'd fix it myself eventually.

Make sure you install the "fastboot" driver correctly. Are you running win 8.1?

I'm pretty positive it's installed correctly. I've deleted it and reinstalled it 3 times. The first two times I did it all manually. The one I'm currently running I got from here:

I meant the HTC driver (for fastboot) -> Your devices must be listed as "My HTC" in the device manager. If it has a yellow exclamation mark, try to install the driver manually for "My HTC".

I had done that before but it didn't work. I tried it again but this time noticed a windows protection blocking it. I disabled it and got it all to work now!
I put the new rom on the phone but it gets stuck at the HTC screen and never loads. I read that I have to change the CID and change to S-OFF for it to work.
However, now I've got another problem that I can't find a solution to ANYWHERE.
I cannot get the phone to S-OFF. Everytime I try to change my CID I get this:
C:\Android>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: SPCS_001
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Android>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.007s

I've tried manually changing the CID and using a CID script and both keep giving me the "[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error".
Any ideas??

Is your phone already S-OFF ? Uninstall HTC sync before changing the CID. If you want to flash a unbranded firmware later, make sure that its compatible with your MID.
BTW
Why don't you flash the sprint firmware again to check if your error got fixed.

No, the phone says it's S-ON. If I uninstall HTC Sync, won't that remove the drivers I needed to get my computer to recognize my phone?
I'm sorry I'm new to this, but what is MID?
I thought about retrying the original sprint firmware but I'd honestly rather just try out a new custom one.

My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP recovery. Would I have to remove those to use the Sprint RUU?

Just relock your bootloader to use the ruu BUT if your phone is S-ON you can only RUUs that are newer or the same version number as actually installed on the phone. You can safely uninstall HTC sync, drivers persist.

The RUU link I posted is LP and was just released. Should be newer than what he was running.

I checked the RUU myself. Was just a general information and not a "stop, what are you doing?!''
