[Q] In need of aid :(

Hi
Bourght a nexus s a few days ago. Today i tried to root the phone using a guide from youtube, if you search for "root nexus s" and look for the user named "Zedomax", thats the one i tried to follow.
First i unlocked it.
next thing was to:
fastboot flash boot recovery clockwork.img (shortend the name to help my self)
last thing:
fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
After this was done my phone is unable to reboot again, it just stops at a google logo with a lock under it. And at that point im unable to do anything. Only thing that works is removing the battery. Think i have killed it
Any ideas to what i could do? is it possible for me to save it yet?
best regards,
Fonain

try to use the pc software to repair it or to reinstall android.. there is no problem..

pc software? could you please tell me what software are you talking about, maybe a link to where i can download it? And do you by chance know how to reinstall android?
any help is highly appreciated
Best regards,
fonain
edit: at work atm, so might not be able to answer right away

I have yet to use it on my NS but i used it regularly on my vibrant. You will need to get into download mode for it to work.

your link doesnt work

does anyone know where i can find the original files for nexus s so i can use em in fastboot and make my phone work again?

which phone model do you have?
i9020 or i9023 ?

Bootloader version is I9020XXKA3
Baseband version is I9020XXKB1
dunno if those version names have been changed while i have been tampering with my phone, if not its the I9020

that looks good
if it's really a 9020 then you can use the unlocking + rooting guide for the 9020 in the general section
once you get CWR installed, you can flash to any ROM you like

Thanks ill try look deeper into that, and see if that will solve my problem.
but it is already unlocked and partly rooted...i think.
have used a clockwork img and rootboot img, and after that my phone couldnt start up again.

those files are wrong use the mirror recovery image on the i9020 rooting topic in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545

Think i should have used that guide instead of the one i have been using the first time... looks great step by step!
But....
i still have the problem where my phone just stops loading.
1: unlocked it
2: typed: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3: finished at 1.132 sec (no problems so far)
4: reboot my phone, then it stops.
and it stop when showing this screen.
http://i53.tinypic.com/m74byg.jpg with a lock at the bottom which is unlocked.
And it just stops there, waited for several minutes as i have seen that the startup could take up to 2 mins after tampering with the nexus s.
get to the point in the guide where it tells you to download superuser.
Hope you can see if i have done something wrong
best regards,
Fonain
EDIT: oh yes, forgot to mention that the 2 touch buttons to the left on my SNS lights up. First one glowes for a sec or two, then it turns off again. The second stays on all the time.

repeat the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img one more time
after that is done, boot into the CW Recovery
you know hold up and power
then select mount USB
then copy over a stock nandroid backup for 2.3.3 rooted
after that unmount the usb
and select the option to restore rom from backup
and choose the folder that you unzipped into your mounted SD

you are awesome!
thanks alot!!

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery, please help

Hi. This is the first time I've tried to install custom rom's on my phone so bear with me. I followed a post (since I can't post links yet just google: CyanogenMod 9 (CM9) for HTC One X is Here. It's the first link) detailing how to install CM9 on the OneX. Everything worked up until step 16 where you have to boot into recovery mode. When I select recovery mode from the bootloader, the phone just tries to restart and gets stuck at the HTC loading screen with a message underneath saying that this ROM is not official etc.
Is there an easy way to try and fix this and make it work properly? I've tried erasing the fastboot cache and that didn't make a difference. At this point I don't really care if I have to erase everything and just go back to what I had before. The phone doesn't show up as a drive on the PC when I plug it in.
Any help would be great!
SOLUTION: Ok this is what I did to get it working again. My phone is on Rogers so I had to download this RUU and then follow these steps to flash the RUU onto the phone. Pretty simple actually.

Well, I can tell you that the ROM you were trying to flash was not for the S4 variant of the HTC One X, the ROM you saw was for the international Tegra 3 chip which is VERY different. I would attempt to flash an RUU from the At&T HOX thread if that is possible. Sorry if I can't be of any more help, that's all I've got.

I just had this exact same problem on mine. Well I didn't try to install a full rom, but accidently tried to apply the mod where you remove the menu bar and remap the keys that was for the HTC One X (Internation/Tegra3) to my HTC One X (AT&T) and what happened was it would freeze at the HTC One Beats Audio screen and not do anything. Tried going to Recovery as well and nothing. So I thought. What I had to do was unplug my phone from USB, hold down power for about 7 seconds until screen goes black, immediately after screen goes black, release power button and start to hold down volume down button, this should get you to the Recovery menu. From here what you will need to do is go into FlashBoot, and then from ur PC (or mac... hopefully PC though) you need to relock your BootLoader, and get stock recovery (if you changed it). After this reboot and then go back into Recovery, FastBoot, and connect to PC. Now download the AT&T RUU (i used the newest, 1.85) and run through those steps. After this is finished phone should boot fine and your expensive device is saved.
Oh by the way, I'm an evolving Noob. Just started to do anything ...interesting... with my phone today, crap went down, and using these steps I was able to fix it, so if I am off on some of my steps or unclear, just comment please and I'll try and correct myself or giver farther details on what I did.
-Good Luck

Thanks for the replies but I think my situation is further complicated by the fact that my phone is a Rogers phone. I know the RUU is 1.73.631.1 but I don't know if a stock recovery is available for Rogers yet. It sounds like all I have to do is find the correct RUU and flash it to the phone.
TrueLandon, you said after you held the power button down for 7 seconds you could put the phone into recovery mode. Would that be the same thing as the bootloader menu (where you can select fastboot, factory reset etc)?

Yes, sorry if I were unclear, still trying to learn the lingo and technical terms , and yea, that's what you would need then is the RUU for Rogers, but I think the other steps should work for you.
I'll PM you a link to 1.73 RUU for Rogers

The facepalm is significant and this makes me wish HTC forced carriers to label the S4 One X as the One XL.
If your bootloader was unlocked, lock the bootloader and run the RUU from fastboot.

Thanks for the replies guys. Truelandon sent me the RUU that I need for my phone but there's no .exe file in it. I was just wondering if I can somehow use these files and flash my phone with this RUU. Most of the files that I ended up downloading are disk image files.

Addition to the issue
I flashed a cm9 rom on my hox (international version). Its working fine but the only issue is that i want to install black and cyan theme to it and when i try to flash it and the moment i hit recovery in boot loader my phone restarts and comes back normal.so i can't enter cwm to flash the theme.

Wrong forum you have the international one x the is the one xl forum so we can't really help your phone has completely different partitions.
The only thing I would suggest is to reflash your cwm and see if it helps.

Sensation freezes when booting into recovery

I've just gone through all the steps to unlock my bootloader, gone through all the HTCDEV bit with no issues, the bootloader is now unlocked. I've also managed to flash my ROM with the CWM Recovery image and as far as I know that was successfull too, i've now come to booting into recovery and the phone hangs on the HTC splash screen and doesn't appear to want to go any further. I've tried to access recovery both by doing it manually (Pull the battery, restart holding vol down etc etc), and also via the One X All-In-One Kit with the same results. Any idea chaps....

Bro, i am experiencing the same ordeal and i did what you did aswell.
I am using the Australian Vodafone region of the HTC Sensation XL with Android 4.0.3
HBoot is 1.28
Phone has been Unlocked and I have successfully rooted my device.
I'm stuck on HTC screen when i flash or recovery using USB.
If i soft reset and reboot, the phone will shutdown after HTC screen.
I can' even see my beloved Vodafone logo :crying:
My delimna first started when downloaded JRUMMY app called OVERCLOCK or something. I slightly adjusted the LCD density and frequency and then i used the inbuilt reboot option. From memory it was HBoot reboot or something similar.
Ever Since i couldn't boot up my phone and it was stucked at the Vodafone Logo.
I then used HTC one X all in one toolkit and the N66 super utility to tried boot the phone.
I tried flashing the recoveries within the tools but it won't work.
Now, those tools don't even recognise my Device when i tried to connect.
Calling all experts to assist in this matter. Thanks

I'll try that.... I should have said that my phone is not rooted, and the only way I can get the phone to start is by popping the battery. Once it restarts everything is fine, I'm trying to root my phone as i have a couple of apps that require root acces, otherwise i wouldn't be too fussed about all this, but now i'm best part of the way there I want to see it through.
Andy

SORTED!
I re-flashed the rom with the CWM Recovery and blow me, it worked. Booted into recovery no problem. The first time I did it it must have not flashed properly. I've now since flashed my phone with SuperSU and now have root access.. Alls fine and dandy, and I have also installed Cerberus in the root which is why I wanted root access in the first place.
Thanks for all your help with this,
Cheers

htc one x at&t boot loop

Hi everyone, i got an issue with my cel phone, i update it with the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34 and after that my phone starts in a boot loop , the AT&T logo appears but then restarts again ,and again ,etc.-
I tried to conect it to the Pc so i can put another RUU Rom ,but computer cant install the drivers so is not recognize .-
The phone is not unlock
Please i dont know what to do , i tried a lot of thing like fastboot rebot,recovery,etc but nothing seems to work , if anyone can help me i will be gratefull
thanks

try a factory reset from recovery hold the power button and volume down till the lights at the bottom start blinking when the phone shuts off keep holding the volume button and let go of the power button this should get you into bootloader then select recovery from there

So the phone is stock (not rooted, never bootloader unlocked)?
If the drivers aren't correctly installed, the RUU is never going to run. I think that is the main problem. Find the latest drivers (HTC Sync), reboot the computer, make sure you have admin rights, etc. Also try a different USB port, or try another computer, if possible.

RUU doesn't care about recovery, it re-installs stock recovery automatically.

Well i made what you told me , first i tried to put the same RUU and it flashed it but issue remains , so i tried to put an older RUU ( downgrade it ) process starts but suddenly stopt with 140 error : bootloader version error .-
I don´t know wich version i can istall if process show me that error .-Or which RUU version can put on it
my cel phone
EVITA PVT SHIP´S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.24p.32.09.06

Emmc-boot

You can't use a previous RUU if the hboot is older. So that error is normal and expected.
You will need to run the 3.18 RUU. Try to download it again. Might just be a bad download.

Now i want to know what can ido with this RUU,im afraid if i restar the cel againg the same thing is going to happend .-
I tried to rooted but no succes
I got a doubt what should i do first ?? unlock bootloder or root the phone first ??
thanks

First thing you need to do is read the stickies in this q&a section. Then read stickies in android development section. Then if you have questions, ask. If you just ran the 3.18 ruu though, you're sol, no root/bootloader unlocking possible.

Its not clear from your posts whether the phone was actually updated to 3.18 firmware or not. But the hboot has at least been updated to 2.14.
If the phone is on 3.18 firmware, you can't unlock the bootloader and you can't root.

Well thanks for all the answers , but sorry to say, i continue with the loops anda suddenly the phone starst fine, but when in rebbot it for some reason keep on with the loop issue.-
Instead of that i notice a strange thing happend , as i told , got wifi problems on this model , but as shown in the picture above , i pull out the micro sim,so no mobile data, data conection or network operator set and im connect to my wifi network , thats is strange ,if i put the sim ,the cel phone automatically set the network operator ,and if i set the APN , wifi signal desapears and beggin the known issue for this model on wifi signal and connections .-
Any idea of wath can be ??
Thanks

if you can get your phone to boot and stay booted for atleast 30 minutes. could you install and run this app. eMMC Brickbug Check it will check if the phones memory is good. i havent heard of any bad emmc on evita but maybe you have one, since you seem to be having a similar problem to what i had on an htc ace. also you could reboot into stock recovery and do a factory reset or clear cache, see if you get any errors i got emmc errors on my ace before the partitions finally decided to crap out. you could go through the unbrick thread to repair partitions before the die completely, my theory was doing a similar thing to this ace to repair it.

big problem
I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, everything went fine. i then tried to flash a custom ROM. Thats where it went really bad. It went into a bootloop. I was able to get it back to bootloader mode and then recovery, so i tried to flash the ROM again, same result. I now have no way to transfer a new ROM over to my SD card and attempts to flash this ROM i downloaded through fastboot have all failed. I dont know what to do at this point, please help.

You haven't given enough information. What are your bootloader details? What recovery and version are you using? Which ROM did you flash? Did you do a factory reset from bootloader?

If s-on, do you realize that you need to flash boot.img seperately using fastboot (for any hboot 1.14 or higher)? This is the most common reason for bootloops when flashing a ROM on this device.

Hi, I've been "upgrading" my friends old HTC One X ( International) for her. I've rooted my own phone ( Sensation) and a Wildfire for another friend, so, whilst I'm no programmer I have patience and can follow instructions.
Re: this phone - HTC ONE X . It's the international version. Hboot 1.72.0000, S-on
I've unlocked it and tried recovery , few different versions of twrp for endeavoru , all of them froze so i flashed CWM Recovery Version V6 .0.5.1 . With that I flashed Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1 successfully. However none of the mods that I applied were working and I wanted to give my friend a "working" phone, she is not used to seeing anything but stock, want her to be happy etc. so I decided to give her another option, and went to flash Cyanogen 11 https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru .
I was originally using my friends computer Windows 10 , - thats where I completed unlock bootloader and flash recovery, (and saw the frozen twrps ).
However, using cyanogens wiki, I couldnt get adb to communicate with the phone, my friend came home , so I went home also, and continued trying to flash a ROM from my macbook ( and successfullly flashed ARHD instead). Also, from my mac I was trying a few recoveries out, 3 versions of twrp ( all frozen from my mac as well), CWM and finallly PhilZ Touch 5 v6. 0. 3. 7. <<--- I'm still on this now
The mods in ARHD werent working for me so i followed the cyanogen wiki but adb command wasnt recognised on my mac either, thats when I screwed up...through fastboot command I flashed the CM 11 boot image successfully, but accidentally touched the volume button and the phone is now in bootloop. I have tried going back to recovery and wiping data / reset and recovering a backup, which seems(ed) to work, but I'm still in bootloop and a little worried because I can't take out the battery and I'm on a mac... I can still reach bootloader and recovery , and I just managed to turn the phone off from recovery but thats it.
Going to another friends house right now, to pick up a windows 7 OS , and then I shall return, so as to tensely await any kind help you can extend toward me and my stress.
Really grateful for instruction as to where to go next, can't wrap my head around this from a mac, so , er, I'll be back!
Thanks for your time in advance! Oh, and apologies if I'm in the wrong place, I have been searching through the HTC one X threads , looking for best battery performance roms and checked out the help threads from here just now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891 , (have tried 'fastboot erase cache' and then 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' also . ) before signing up.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
When you get your hands on a Windows computer i suggest you to head over here, in my opinion it contains all the things you should need to know in order to fix your bootloops problem.
Good luck!
