Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good

I just broke the whole phone..

Hello! Before you guys flame me with messages of how much dumb I am or anything similar - don't bother, i already know it and i regret it...
So... I have AT&T HTC One X, with Hboot 2.14, CID CWS__01 which i just destroyed as much as i could >.> Let me reproduce things i've tried..
First of i changed my CID to 11111111 and unlocked the bootloader - took me an hour, but i did it and it was working...
I've installed recovery, even rooted the ROM... But that wasn't enough - i wanted to install ParanoidAndroid ( and i didn't read that it needs S-OFF, realized that just after i installed it and rebooted the phone )..
So after a reboot, the white HTC logo it just went black screen and nothing else... So i've began to look up on forums if someone else had this kind of a problem...
Then i tried another 2 ROM's, which worked as well as PA - just black screen...
So i thought - maybe i'll do everything from scratch ? Why not, I changed CID back to stock, wiped everything etc. and locked the bootloader....
But now I've got a weird problem - i can't change CID with "fastboot oem writecid" - it returned me error
(bootloader) elite_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdhw_7xxx_open: id=0
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached
(bootloader) 902910 902E20
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 1.282s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So now i have no access to recovery, so i can't even do anything to the storage, the phone doesn't boot up, tried RUU for ATT version ( RUU_Evita_UL_ATT_US_1.44.502.1_Radio_0.15.3201.09_release_249105 - i guess its for HBoot 1.44, not 2.14 >.> ) it just showed me an error that it couldn't send data to the phone and i should check my connection to the phone ( drivers are installed and working fine )
I've also tried fastbooting the OTA zip to the phone - well, the phone is on S-ON and it just declines any zip that i try to flash
Also i lost connection to ADB - its impossible to connect to it while phone is in bootloader, right? : /
So i'm left with empty phone without any rom, recovery - anything...
Is there any way of fixing it ? Its 5th hour where i just sit and try to look up for any information, but I just can't find anything...
I guess i just hard bricked the phone and i can try to play some volleyball with it >.>

Your mistake was thinking that you needed s-off to flash the ROM(s), you don't, all you needed to do was flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM with your recovery. There's an Evita FAQ thread which contains this information stickied at the top of the q&a section you've posted this thread in . This is in no way intended to flame you, just show you the catalyst point for this mayhem.
Anyway, what is your current CID? Check it with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
You must be connected in fastboot mode (bootloader) in order for fastboot commands to work (and in answer to your question, no, adb does not work in fastboot mode, only in Android and in recovery).

I should mention that the battery was at ~95% at the time i was trying to flash/do anything.
So, is there any way to make at least recovery working? As for now i flash recovery using fastboot flash, but that does nothing - it says that its done, but when i get into bootloader and check recovery then enter it, it goes to white htc logo and goes back to bootloader >.>
EDIT!!!!!
I managed to get it working! I downloaded 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 which worked flawlessly and stock ROM just booted up! Jesus christ, thank You internet for providing exact links to the RUU's etc >.> I guess i'll try to not brick the phone again ^^ Thanks for the reply again : )

Glad to see you're all working now. But you need to edit your IMEI out of your post asap, never post your IMEI publicly.

Software Information Screen

My power button quit working, I'm within the 1 year warranty period, and I need to go back to stock after I get my replacement.
Before I call VZW, since I'm rooted and using nV ROM, and I know they ask about the Software, does anyone have a screen shot of the Stock Software screen, Kit Kat unless LP has been pushed?
Thanks!

They can see more information than you can tell them. Best bet is to be stock during that call.

Thanks for that input.
So, since the new phone arrived, I've been trying to restore my old phone to stock, S-OF, Unroot and Locked boot loader, etc.
I'm able to ADB into fastboot, however for whatever reason I cannot load the 06BIMG.zip(not at my computer)
Fastboot simply reboots immediately when I adb reboot boatloader.
Is there another way to get a stock image on the phone, remove the red text at boot up, s-off, lock boot loader with stock recovery and unroot?
Everything I've tried seems to be hinged on that fastboot rebooting issue.
Thanks

0P6BIMG.zip ?

I typed it from my phone whilst I was enjoying the evening outside. Just the only numbers in my head.
I'm downloading your RUU exe right now Dottat. Didn't realize you're local by an hour to me.
thanks!

So I downloaded your EXE, and I get a failure in regard that it reboots to the HTC logo and the phone reboots immediately, causing the program to fail.
Error 155: unknown error
This is the same problem i was having when trying to do the fastboot push of the RUU I had downloaded previously.
Image version is 1.54.401.10
What ever can i do?

I just remember last year downloading and installing the nV Rom which was 4.4.2. and updating the radios.
I've tried the 0p6bimg.zip method in fastboot, but it fails as well. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's in the root of the SD card.

You tell me, I'll probably get out of work around 3pm and head down to York. I have to pick up tools from a friend that's borrowing them for work around 5/530, so whenever.
Since the PWR buttons not working, I'm not able to select HBOOT at the bootloader screen, and the commands I was using to get the HTC black screen fail to push. However, I just renamed your ZIP file and will try again and report back

[Q] Rogers HTC One X help with customer recovery issue...

Pretty sure I effed up... Before reading further please know I am a very novice Android user, but am great at following directions.
In an attempt to install a custom ROM on my phone I'm having some serious issues getting it to work. I was able to unlock the bootloader on my device quite easily but after attempting to install TWRP the device boots to a black screen when trying to load the recovery. I know the phone is on because I have to press and hold power for a while before I can get back into the actual system. I figured I'd try installing CWM but it does the same thing. I installed the ROM Manager app as suggested by another site but it really is of no help to me without my phone being rooted, which it is not... yet. The app does show that both TWRP and CWM are installed but gets an error flashing CWM and if i try to set it to use the outdated version of CWM or TWRP it says that it's configured to use the existing recovery installation and makes no difference trying to load the recovery.
Phone info: (Let me know if you need anything not listed.)
Android Version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense: 4+
Software#: 3.17.631.3
HTC SDK API leve: 4.63
Build#: 3.17.631.3
Kernel version: 3.4.0-g240d4d5
I'm at a loss for what to do to either get a working custom recovery or restore the factory one to working condition, which I can't seem to find online anywhere.
Edit: Grammar.
Edit2: Update - I was able to get TWRP to run and then attempted to install CyanogenMod, when it installs it says MD5 file not found but says successfully installed. After rebooting to system it just gets stuck in an endless reboot cycle. Ideas / Suggestions?

If it's Rogers it isn't a one x. It's a one xl so you are in the wrong forum which will be why it has all gone wrong

I've ensured to use Evita for all the guides. I double triple and quadruple checked everything before performing any steps. Posting in the wrong thread doesn't change the situation. Is there a way to move this to the correct thread?
Edit: Also, according to HTC the Evita was a code name used for both the One XL and One X simultaneously. One XL applied specifically to releases in Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, Singapore, and United Kingdom. One X applied to Canada (where I am) and USA.

Boot into fastboot and run the command getvar and post the results. Be sure to block out your imei and serial before posting. This may help XDA members diagnose the problem.
Are you full wiping cache, data, and Dalvik before and after flashing CM?

Yes I was doing a full wipe before flashing, but not after. Situation has changed a bit though... I was working with someone via reddit (Full thread here: reddit.com/r/root/comments/3a4cc2/htc_one_x_root_for_beginner/ ) Long story short: Finally got CyanogenMod installed but let it sit over an hour and just stuck on spinning CM logo. Forced shutdown, booted into TWRP and wouldn't recognize SD or mount (eMMC). Read this can be due to not doing a factory reset, tried to do the factory reset but same deal. Tried to ruin an RUU that matched my info but it failed and with a locked bootloader I cant even get into TWRP, I need to unlock the bootloader and reinstall TWRP after failing an RUU.

With s-on, I think you have to flash the boot.img file for the phone to boot.
Easiest way to solve the problem may be to get s-off and supercid.

Only Boots to boot menu says Tampered

I'm wondering if anyone can help with this. The phone is an Unbranded UK LTE One SV that was previously running Stock Jellybean 4.22. (Manufacturer No: 99HSH008-00).
I had it from new and it was never flashed or rooted or had S off etc. It started to play up so I got another device. At one point I was able to reset it and it worked but then randomly when it booted it would only boot to a black screen with a clock at the top. Like it had not loaded all the OS. After a while it would then just power off. Now I can't get past the boot menu. I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware fault or if it just needs to be reflashed to stock if the ROM has been corrupted.
The menu says as per attached picture :
TAMPERED
LOCKED.

March 14 2013 22:10:43-1
It boots to the following menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I notice it gets very hot if left for a while in this menu and the battery drains quickly. Factory reset just takes me back to the same menu as does recovery. After the HTC screen it says in red that this version is for development purposes only under. I note that on other screen shots from other devices it say the memory size next to the eMMC Boot, whereas mine has none. When connected via USB the phone is recognised on the PC in Device manager. Is there any hope or anything I can try?
Any help appreciated.

Since posting I've done the following:
First I've Unlocked my phone at the htcdev site successfully.
So now it shows this in the Boot menu
Then following instructions from here: Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671
I then flashed recovery.img using the downloaded file on the thread labelled as the stock recovery.
I just realised though that this file is called k2u_recovery_signed.img (which i had re-named to recovery.img)
but my phone is a K2 UL. Is this the wrong recovery file to flash with? I'm unable to enter recovery mode the phone just get stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen with the red development version writing underneath or just reboots in a loop. It still doesn't boot properly.
I can't seem to find the correct recovery.img.
I looked on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317379
where there are 2 files for K2 UL European.
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.6-2.14.401.2)
and
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
I am able to download the 2nd file from google docs but the 1st from app.box.com can't seem to be downloaded by any of my browsers.
I reflashed the 2nd K2UL recovery.img from Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
But it still doesn't go into recovery mode. I sometimes get the green download arrow then it goes black or just goes straight to black so i guess its not the right file either. Is there an alternate link for the other file anywhere, so I can try that?
recovery.img
Md5Sum: B219A04154A3ED29271B14F120FDE853
I was unable to enter recovery before this so think it was already corrupted.
having no luck finding that recovery assuming its the right one. leaving it for now.

I think, that you can't boot into recovery, is a problem of mismatching files. You are using older recovery files with latest firmware.
But at least i don't know what software/firmware you are running on your phone, so try to get some more info by using fastboot with the following cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Put the output here without serial and imei numbers.
For a recovery which works with latest software, look here.
At all, this thread is a good start, if you are looking for something this phone related.

Thank you for the prompt reply, here's the info. The boot menu is now frozen so will have to remove the battery to try again and flash with that recovery you recommended. The link for TWRP 2.8.4.0 touch recovery on that thread is now dead. Is the latest version from here on (https://twrp.me/devices/htconesvlte.html) ok? It appears that
twrp-2.8.5.0-k2_ul.img is the newest compatible. Will this replace the stock recovery (that presently is likely the wrong one as the file on the other thread was non downloadable for me from app.box.com. Another link would be great, assuming its the correct file.
My aim is to get this phone working again, initially as stock jellybean 4.22 so it can be used then maybe experiment. As of now its still S-ON and unrooted but with an unlocked bootloader, but wont work at all.

You don't need stock recovery (anymore). As your system won't boot, you need another way to get your phone working and the key for this is a custom recovery.

This is good and the next step forward.
Now, from TWRP recovery, you have 2 options to get your system working:
- you can flash a stock or custom rom
- you can restore a stock backup
It's up to you now!

Ok thanks, not sure what you mean by it being a "cut out". Mine is a non SIM locked unbranded UK One SV. Prior to it going faulty it had never been flashed or rooted etc.

Bearing in mind that the bootloader is now unlocked , but its still is S-ON and unrooted what is the next step for me to recover the newest JB4.22 that I had earlier and have the phone rooted. Do I need to have S off before in order to flash a ROM back on?
I have already downloaded several files but not sure which is the correct one and the procedure.
I already have:
OTA_K2_UL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_HTC_Europe_3.11.401.1-2.14.401.6_release_338297mseg08soslxcubit.zip (431MB)

No, S-off needed.
I think the easiest way is to restore a TWRP backup: you can use this twrp backup to restore a working OS on your phone.
This is not to flash, you must use restore.
The location on ext_sdcard for the backup is:
\TWRP\BACKUPS"Put here the serial number of your device"\Backup files you have downloaded
Or the location where the files have to be that TWRP can recognise them, explained by another guy:
Modding.MyMind said:
TWRP (folder) >> BACKUPS (folder)>> Serial Device (folder)>> Name of Backup (folder)>> backup files
If those folders do not exist as listed above then make them. Serial device will be the devices actual serial number, by typing and entering, fastboot devices, will display the serial number. Name that folder as such.
The folder which is referred to the name of the backup you can simply call it whatever. For example, help_me_422.
Place backup files inside the "help_me_422" folder.
Go to main menu of the TWRP, click on restore, you backup will be on the external sdcard so insure you select that storage so the backup will appear as an option. Now select the backup. A list for system, boot, etc, etc will appear with boxes and a check in those boxes. Now swipe to restore.

Thank you for the info.
So as you said there is no need for S-Off now.
On 1st attempt the Restore failed as I put the zip file itself into the last folder as opposed to all the individual files themselves and their MD5's [boot.emmc.win, data.ext4.win, recovery.log, system.ext4.win]. The restore then said it completed successfully.
Still the phone will not work and gets stuck on startup with the HTC screen with the red development only version writing underneath.
I notice that the external SD card which shows its size next to it but the internal SD card is showing as 0MB. And also when the 1st restore failed it reported that it was unable to mount the Internal SD memory. The same is true after the restore success, it says unable to mount int_sd. (See pics below). is there a way to test the internal memory to see if there is another problem or does it need re partitioning, if this isn't done via the restore process itself?

Hm, sounds not so good...
Well, i don't know this TWRP version exactly, as it is long time ago i used it.
But go to the wipe menu and look, if there (or under wipe - advanced) is an option something like "repair broken filesystem" or so (can't remember exactly what it is called).
If yes, go there and try if this option can help.

on the main menu there is WIPE - that says it does a factory reset, Wipes Cache and Dalvik
Or
There is an Advanced as you remembered well where you can choose the partitions
Dalvik cache
Cache
Data
Int SD
Android Secure
SD card
System
Either you can select to wipe the selected partitions or with another button at the bottom Repair or Change File System
I selected IN_SD and clicked to Repair and it showed as being 0MB then Failed as per attached pics. I was able to repair the cache and Dalvik cache but the Int SD still saying unmountable. Same result not working.

Ok, it seems that you only have one chance for your phone, a ruu.
Download this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960683578
Rename the zip file to PL80IMG.zip (make sure it is not named PL80IMG.zip.zip) and copy it in the external sdcard.
As you are S-on, you need to lock your bootloader again, first. Do this with the fastboot cmd
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot into the bootloader and let the phone recognize the PL80IMG.zip. Confirm to update with vol+ and let it run until its finished.

Ok now while having selected the Int SD partition instead of selecting Repair I selected Change File System and then in there selected FAT, it completed and has gone back to this menu but now shows as being 4239MB as opposed to 0MB.
I will have another look at it later but presently its still not booting to the system.
Now in the Restore menu the Internal is showing 4239MB also instead of 0Mb.
So I'm trying a restore again. Fingers crossed....
This time no errors regarding mounting the Int SD but on Rebooting it goes to HTC with red writing for 30 sec then goes off.

Give the Ruu a try. It should restore everything to stock, if possible.

Thanks i posted the last post before seeing your reply about the RUU. I will give that a go and report back. After i tried the restore again (after the int Sd came back) the int sd again went back to 0MB and being unmountable. i had to fix it and format again for it to reappear as 4gb.
I relocked the bootloader so it now says Tampered and Relocked.
Re booted into the bootloader with the Ext sd card in with the PL80IMG.zip. at its root. (MD5 all ok)
First it says loading... [PL80DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Then loading... [PL80DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Then Loading... [PL80IMG.zip]
After finding it it then says
Checking....[PL80IMG.zip]
But then remains in the bootloader after a minute or two when finished. Nothing happens for me to confirm with Vol+. I have no option to update?
If I choose Recovery from the bootloader it immediately just reboots to the bootloader again.
in fact whatever i do now it just goes straight back to the bootloader.

Ok, in this case i think you are out of luck. Sorry to say, but something seems broken, which even a ruu can't fix.

Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong. Does the RUU require a working Recovery? If you remember my Recovery was previously corrupted I believe and before putting on TWRP there was no working stock recovery. Now TWRP is no longer available (because the bootloader is re-locked?) there is no working stock recovery to revert to in order to flash the RUU. If this is so is there a way to unlock the bootloader then put back a correct stock Recovery then re-lock it and use the RUU?

No, usually not. The Ruu has the stock file itself inside.
But, of course, you can try it. In this case you need to unlock bootloader again, then you can flash it with fastboot cmd.
I can upload the recovery.img if you want.
For the unlock you can use the already existing unlock_code.bin, i think.

Well it's worth a go I guess. Thank you that Recovery image would be very useful as I was unable to locate it or download from the app box link. My friend still uses his One SV so could come in useful at some point anyway.
I've re-Unlocked the Bootloader again and TWRP is still present and working when I select Recovery.
I'll wait for your new upload of the correct stock Recovery image and try with that.
Thanks again
