I believe I bricked my phone.. NEED HELP ! - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

So i guess I felt out of date and wanted to root my phone and use that cm10 rom or whatever everyone else is and i messed it up real bad. I keep getting this msg "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc.." on the loading screen. At this point i just want to restore it back to normal , idc if i lose data , i just want my phone to WORK! I've flashed a clean recovery.img but whenever i try to access recovery , it brings me back to that screen with the red words. In addition , my phone is rogers so i can't even find a correct RUU to install. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again ? Any help is greatly welcomed !
P.S Wow i think it got worse , now it doesnt even loop again , it goes start into that menu bootloader, reboot , power down.. Omg i spent 5 hours looking into this. I NEED HELP!

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)

On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

Can you post download to to what you're refering to ? I want to delete all my old files and redownload it all, starting fresh.
ugh crap im so lost , i don't get what to install like .. i flash CWM and it doesnt work and all that omg . Can we skype or somethng so we can do this step by step ? :$

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.

That link requires me to use that GOO manager? Confused lol i have TWRP on my computer but not sure the steps to use it ..

You can't use Goomanager if the phone doesn't boot. You need to push it over to your phone using adb, then you can flash it from recovery.

Beat me to it.
Read up, get adb working. Then you can install TWRP using adb.

So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?

Go to mount usb storage (not sure which screen its on) while it's plugged into your computer
If windows says the card is corrupted, format it fat32, then copy over a rom onto your sd card

The Rogers HTC One X IS a HTC One XL. Rogers just branded it. The OneX has the Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor, the One XL has the S4 Dual Core Processor. Your phone is the same as the ATT Version. Trust me

No problem. Just be glad you didn't flash an international Rom. They can render your device completely unusable. Remember only flash things from this forum and enjoy

[Q] Help, boot loop here?

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

i tried before to get in to recovery mode without USB(plugged to my computer or to charger) and still same problem.
and i dont have any rom manager.
i got HTC one S only with Unlocked phone and recovery(that doesnt work), so i think i need root for rom manager.

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

Have you tried reflashing CWM via fastboot? Could just be your recovery got borked and you need to reflash recovery.
You can also try reflashing CWM via ROM Manager.
edit: Your img file might be corrupt, did you compare the MD5 sum? How are you flashing recovery?

No you don't have to do all of that,
Just download the correct CWM recovery.img file, CHECK the MD5, then flash via fastboot, you don't have to start fresh or anything.
edit:
what phone is this for?
I got that it's an HTC device running Sense 4 but we might help you find a better CWM recovery link if we know which device you're using on what carrier.

Awesome!
Glad we got you back up and running, it can be a real pain when the issue is a bad img file and you can't seem to figure out what is going on, but people need to remember to check MD5 sums for recoveries, radios and bootloaders lest they brick.
I don't think you need to upload since that link seems to work, they can just find the CWM for that phone from the link I provided and flash via fastboot from there.
Cheers bro, let us know how it's going after you flash the ROM

Yea it is, but I think it's more for Motorola devices. I don't know what HTC uses if anything different. But my phone would boot to the OS so I could still install apps via the SD card. Once I got that properly reinstalled I could access the boot menu again.
Seems like you got that issue solved by I still wanted to follow up.

Had the same issue a few hours ago. Flash TWRP. Mount your phone as USB drive in TWRP and on the PC should come up a pop up that asks you if you want to format your sd card. Press format and let it do its thing. Then your SD should work again (but the data ist lost).
Thnx a lot

You can use the mount as usb drive function again to put the rom on your phone or you can adb push it onto your phone. I'd use the first method.

Need Help:can't flash any recovery,RUU doesn't restore my soft,One S- no OS

Hi, everything messed up from using the stupid TWRP 2.6.0.0 .... I was going to flash a custom rom , but it didn't let me, so I did a little research that I need 2.3.3.0 in order to instal any custom rom.So I tried to switch to 2.3.3.0 but it didn't let me... after that I tried to push stock recovery and now i'm stuck at the white HTC Entering Recovery ( pink letters) screen, ( The recovery just doesn't load) ... I just want to finish with this , and go back to my stock htc rom with not roots or anything.. im tired of this seriously.....
When I try to run RUU I get stuck at the Black HTC Letters screen , the the setup stops and says that it will try to repair my phone, sadly with no result every time.. I think that I don't have any OS on my phone right now, because when RUU starts it shows :
Change image version from : ( blank space)
To: ..... bla bla bla , ( the version of the ruu) ...
I have no problems with entering fastboot and unlocking/relocking my Hboot.
Any help about restoringmy phone will be appreciated . Thanks , I'm online all the time so if I get any responses I'll answer quick.
P.S. I can't mount my usb storage from anywhere, and it doesn't show up on my PC when i connect the usb

Don't lose hope, don't panic.
Tell me which RUU did you use?
Also, what is your CID?
How did you flash your recovery ?

well I think that it doesn't really matter which RUU I "used" because it doesn't even get me in the process of installing...
still , tried these two:
RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_286571_signed

I flashed all recoveries with ONE S all in one tool kit,
first i was with TWRP 2.5 i think , then i flashed 2.6, and 2.3.3.... now I flashed the stock recovery , still stuck...

If you downloaded RUUs from androidruu, then it's a case of bad RUU.

Okay, just now I noticed. You used two Different RUUs for two different versions.
The 1st one is for S3/C2 version, the 2nd one is for S4 version.
Use This Thread to download RUU's only for your version (S4 or S3 whichever you have got). In your case, it does matter which RUU you use.
If you need any help further just ask away.
the thing is that the RUU doesn't get to the process of installing , and I have used those RUU's before....
I need some solution the get to a working recovery and instal some kind of OS because the last time I could get in my recovery it said that I don't have any OS installed...

okay you gonna need fastboot for this. What I have been successful with is:
1. Download an RUU (VERSION SPECIFIC!).
2. Go into Bootloader -> Then select FASTBOOT
3. Connect your Phone to PC. It should say Fastboot - USB mode.
4. Run the RUU, it will get you through all the steps.

doesn't work as I've told you , it happens with every RUU ... I get the Black screen with white HTC letters...
I think that what RUU does is : it updates the version my software I think it just doesn't place a new software right away( just an update), but as TWRP said I don't have OS installed...
can anyone help me ?

Man you're making this difficult. The more I want to help you, the more you become hasty.
RUU doesn't do what you think. It puts New software, updates firmware (hboot, radio, RECOVERY), so yes it is basically a one-stop solution.
Please calm down as panicking won't help.
Tell me your One S version (S3/S4) at least? so that we can move forward in right direction. and also your CID
Tell me what recoveries and RUU you tried. and what errors do you get while you run them.
EDIT: Thanks to @tivofool I forgot to mention that you have to RELOCK your bootloader before running RUU
I'm with S3
I wrote the 2 RUU's I tried to use,
before that i tried TWRP 2.5.0.0,2.3.0.0.,2.6 and finally I flashed factory stock recovery that's it and both my carrier and bl are unlocked
P.S. : Yeah i knew about the relocking but still stuck on black screen with white HTC Letters

Black Screen with HTC is the oem update screen.
Okay do this please and we'll try to see if there's a problem with the HBOOT. Give me this info and We'll reflash HBOOT.
Go to fastboot and connect your phone to PC.
Enter this command from your PC:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

okay, so ... I'm going to explane everything I did, I hope I'll help some other people too.
I flashed TWRP from One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v4.0 but without luck, then i flash the factory stock recovery, still the phone was letting me into any of these two recoveries, then i decided reflash the same TWRP again and it worked,
First I couldn't mount the storage from the recovery , but it was still showing in "My Computer" , I had only one option and it was to Format the Storage. So I did.. then copied this rom with gapps on it ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164406
Fully wiped --> Flash Rom , then Flash Gapps, ---> then I booted in fastboot to boot from CMD the "boot.img" with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from the Pacman Rom and then I Rebooted the HTC and Done
Huge thanks to @khan.orak
I hope I helped someone with the same ****tyass problem.
