Many things wronh here... Cwm...factory reset in bootloader which corrupted your sd storage... Fast rebootruu is a dangerous thing to type out there.... Just find the 2.20 ruu and run that and be done and format your sd with your computer

Thanks for replying. Just a couple more questions. How can I tell which ruu is mines, and where can i get it? also do i format through device manager, or computer devices, or something completely different?

Well, damn, boy. You don't have a brick, but you're very lucky not to after all that.
Sounds like what happened was using CWM (not really recommended for this phone, at least that release), then not flashing the boot.img in fastboot when you tried to install CM. You have to do that on your firmware unless you're s-off.
Once you relock, you have to ruu or unlock again. You can't flash anything from there.
This is the ruu you want, which is for 2.20.
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe
Once you're done with that, I recommend slowing down and doing a lot more reading before trying to mod your phone again.

Thanks you so much guys! i got my phone back to stock settings and everything seems to be going well so far.
I will definitely be sure to do some correct research before doing anything m unsure of
Thanks!

You should s-off before continuing. It will help with boot loops.

[Q] Help with Boot/Recovery Problems?

Hello, I have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, and I've ran into some problems recently. I'm a basic-intermediate user when it comes to Android, but I can't find a solution specifically for this. It started with a small problem but got worse and worse until I couldn't even boot correctly.
I started out installing a small custom battery mod, but that led to a few problems with the notification bar (not a big deal).
Then I tried to revert to the stock battery to fix the problem, format cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and reset. Then I was put into an infinite boot loop with the HTC splash, but going into cwm recovery was still possible.
Then, in recovery, I could not access my sd card for some reason, so I shut off, reinserted the sd card, and remounted it, then I reset again.
Now, it's impossible to boot to android at all, and I am completely stuck at HBOOT/FASTBOOT, and cannot access recovery OR perform a hard reset.
If I try to reinstall cwm recovery, I get a partition update fail as well...
I have full root, s-off, etc.
ROM- InsertCoin 3.3.1
Kernel- Stock
Hboot- 1.17.1011
Clockwork version- 5.0.0.8
Any suggestions? Am I bricked? I can give more details if needed.
I think you could take a official RUU and rename to the same as if you were trying to flash CWR pm58img or whatever it is.... Don't have my files with me. It should reformat to stock. Hope it helps.

Alright, thanks, I'll try that soon and see if it works.
Update: Unfortunately, I don't think I can flash anything, it just comes up with a partition update fail...
Anyone else know what I could try? I also tried to flash the 1.45 RUU, but it can't continue past the search for the bootloader.
If u can get to fastboot have u tried manually flashing recovery.img ie
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This should work if u can get into fastboot and allow u to then get back to a recovery and may save ya life lol

ummmm just a quick questions.... if you are on the fastboot screen and at the top it says fastboot usb have you tried running the ruu from there and are you scid? what carrier are you on? also in another post above this you said the bootloader doesnt get past the searching files, im wondering if you left the .zip that says pm58img on the root of your sd card. that could be the reason it doesnt get past that screen. just trying to get more info to see if we can get more help for you.

Yes, I have tried to flash the 1.45 Pyramid RUU, but when the RUU tries to reset my phone into bootloader, it just resets right back into fastboot (the RUU command stays at "waiting for bootloader"). I am also super cid and my carrier is US T Mobile. I made sure not to leave the update package on my sd card, and I even tried the RUU without an sd card at all, but no difference.

ok.... i was just askin cause did the exact same thing (well almost, i tried to change the notification icons which resulted in my notification bar completely gone) you did and got into that infinite boot loop. and couldnt boot into android. and couldnt figure it out. the only thing i did was just install the ruu while i was in the fastboot screen and it worked. i wasnt aware that there was a 1.45 ruu for tmous but i dont think that should matter since you are scid anyways. now im just wonderin if you tried any other ruu's besides that one. for me i flashed the 1.29 ruu for tmous and that got me up and running...... sorry i couldnt help

cid is HTC__001
was on stock god knows which rom, left phone on overnight, woke up in the morning and phone was off. turned it on and it's stuck in bootloop. so i thought if i could root the phone, I could install a rom through CWM. unlocked the bootloader via htcdev, fastboot flashed CWM, tried booting into CWM and it just boot loops. i then ran out of the little amount of battery i had left, and couldn't charge the phone because of bootloop. so flashed stock recovery to get phone to charge. relocked the bootloader and tried flashing "RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed", flashed successfully but still bootloop. tried flashing an older version, RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.1_Radio_0.15.31501S.13_3_10.08.31501S.04L_release_250115_signed, didn't flash due to older hboot.
unlocked bootloader again and tried HTC One S AIO Kit by Hasoon, flashed CWM and still stuck in bootloop. flashed TWRP and also stuck in bootloop. running out of ideas here
at the moment, I still have access to bootloader. anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance

not really good with my terms. i'm guessing bootloader mode is vol dn + power?, yes i can get into that. and i can see device in fastboot aswell when i type "fastboot devices"
so simply your phone is not bricked mate, read the posts and you'll get to it very quickly.

thanks for the replies :good:
fastboot erase cache doesn't look like it did anything, still bootloops
i tried flashing the CWM recovery i had again via fastboot, didn't work, still bootloops when i try accessing recovery. grabbed the CWM and TWRP recovery images from HTC AIO kit, tried flashing them with fastboot, still nothing stuck in bootloop.
although once i did flash the recovery image, the htc logo screen changed in that there is now red writing underneath it:
"This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action", after a minute, the screen goes off for 5 seconds and comes back with standard htc logo and bootloops.
any other ideas? :crying:

tried that many times, but i'll try again and write what happens
i've done fastboot oem lock, it says:

(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.942s
i'm guessing that's right because it's gone from "unlocked" to "relocked" in bootloader, including "security warning" added underneath it.
(erased the cache next using fastboot)
ran the RUU, completed successfully, no errors...phone rebooted, still bootloops
can still access bootloader
ran the RUU again, this time as administrator...completed successfully, no errors...phone rebooted, still bootloops
still have access to bootloader and working fastboot.
there must be some way to fix this

you are sooo right, if only i could access recovery, i know what to do
but the problem is, i can't...i've tried atleast 15 times if not more to flash as you said using fastboot, cwm twrp and stock recoveries, using many files (to rule out having a corrupted recovery img) and using the HTC AIO kit too to flash recovery, always bootloops
as i said, i tried to fastboot flash the recoveries provided with the HTC AIO kit, this also bootloops.
do you have any other ideas? i'd appreciate anything rather than using this as a paperweight lol

[Q] Help with Recovering my phone after an OTA update.

Hey, First post and it going to be about whether my phone is bricked for good or not. =/ I'd really appreciate some help as I've clearly not researched enough into this.
-My Rogers HTC One X had previously been rooted and unlocked to hboot 1.09 with cyanogenmod.
-I wanted to install Android Revolution HD, so i figure I needed an hboot update. I went ahead and flashed the phone with the 'firmware.zip' in 'OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip' (HUGE MISTAKE)
-After flashing, I tried to install Android Revolution HD but it had crashed mid way.
-Im able to access hboot and Im also able to go into fastboot and recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-evita).
-Rebooting the phone results in a blank screen after the HTC loading screen. So no adb.
My hboot shows this:

I've tried locking it, flashing it with PJ83IMG.zip but it says: 'FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)'.
I've tried running 'RUU_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3_Radio_0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe' but it gets half way and has Error 155.
Can anyone recommend a rom that will work in this configuration?
Any chance that I can still get S-off on the phone?
Any way to recover the phone at all? Just to be clear, I've flashed my Rogers phone with a Rogers OTA.
Thanks!
Dude you are ****ed! no way to recover from that!..
J/K
All joking aside.
Download TWRP 2.3.3.1 It is compatible with the most ROMS and isn't buggy. Check MD5 and fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.zip <-- replace with actual zip file name.
then fastboot erase cache
Boot to recovery
Wipe cache dalvik system and factory reset and flash any ROM designed for evita.
Because you're S-ON and on an HBOOT >= 1.14, you'll also have to extract the boot.img from the rom and flash it separately "fastboot flash boot boot.img", unless otherwise indicated on the ROM's thread, usually in the OP.
As a side note, you shouldn't have rooted, you have a lot of reading to do.

Given whats already done, did I put my phone in a situation where I've limited myself for future modding? What I'm really wondering is if I should be trying to get S-off so I can downgrade my firmware? Will I run into any issues with just running the phone as it is?

If you are going to s off, no need to really downgrade. This because you are turning security checks off. So it actually makes things a bit easier, and decreases the chances of bricking. I'm s off and on hboot 1.14 and was able to flash plenty of roms without a computer.
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
You're not limited. You just need to fastboot flash boot boot.img any time you flash a ROM. If you're not a flashaholic like most of us, it's no big deal.
I wouldn't RUU with S-ON though, even though you didn't supercid, I bricked without supercid running an RUU after rooting.
So, if you don't plan to RUU you don't need to S-OFF either.
If you do intend to S-OFF, since you didn't need to supercid to unlock your bootloader, you would need to hex edit your CID to 11111111 if you wanted to S-OFF.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask but I suggest reading the stickies in all the sections. Good Luck
Thanks for the info everyone. I'll be keeping that in mind.

I got a Telus HTC one x yesterday. Spent all day reading about rooting etc and finally went ahead and did it. The unlocking part went without a hitch. I then went to install the clockwork recovery and I think I used an outdated one, because after I did it, it wouldn't boot into recovery. I could get into the bootloader, but checking anything else it wouldn't do anything. At that time I was still able to boot up my phone as normal. I then saw an updated clockwork recovery and tried that one, and it still wouldn't respond when I clicked on recovery. Now I can't do anything except get into the bootloader.

I'm so upset right now. I read your instructions on what you suggested to the OP but theirs was Rogers and mines Telus, and I never did have a custom ROM on there, and I don't have a clear cache option, just a 'clear storage'
Even selecting the 'reset phone' doesn't work. I'm ready to cry lol. I don't want to touch anything without guidance so I don't screw it up even further. I know this is the rogers forum but it's what came up when doing a google search.
Please help me. Please tell me this can be fixed. :crying:
Don't use CWM, use TWRP instead. Find version 2.3.3.1 at goo.im (just Google TWRP 2.3.3.1 evita download). Check the md5 of the download is correct. I'm assuming you have fastboot on your pc.
Put the TWRP recovery.img in your fastboot folder
Boot phone into bootloader, wait for it to say "fastboot usb" on the screen of your phone
Open a command prompt in that folder on your pc
Type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-TWRP-2.3.3.1-evita.img (whatever the name of the recovery image is, I think that's right)
It will now write the recovery to your phone, wait for it to finish, it should only take a few seconds
Now type the following command in:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to disconnect your phone and flash superuser.zip in your new recovery and have root access.

omg!!!!! TY TY TY TY TY!!!!!!!!
It flashed into recovery!!!!!
I can't find where my superuser went...is there a way I can get it onto my phone? At this point I'm so nervous about screwing anything up that I'm afraid to play (which is rare for me as I'm normally quite good at all this stuff)
Do I really need the superuser? I'm planning on putting the ViperXL 3.2.7 rom on my phone. Can I just go straight to installing the rom?
I know where I went wrong now though. I used the international root instructions and not the AT&T ones as I assumed since I was Telus instead of Rogers or AT&T that that was the one I needed. Ugh! I feel like such an idiot!! I had android for quite a while then went to iphone for a little while (mistake) and had gotten so good at doing everything with those and forgot most of the steps involved with rooting android and the terminology. I'm happy to be back home with android!
You can just go ahead and flash ViperXL, that is pre-rooted so you'll be good to go. I just assumed you had a ROM running, so flashing the superuser zip would have just given that ROM root access.
Now, just make sure you stay here in the One XL (AT&T) forum. Make sure you only flash ROMs from here, because flashing one of the International ROMs can brick your phone, and we don't want that.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
I will be staying here!! lol
Just to be sure I have this correct...
I downloaded Viper and the boot img.
I'm going to go back to my cmd prompts, install the boot img
I'm getting hung up with understanding how to place the zip on my phone storage...My computer isn't showing it as being a separate drive.
I keep getting 'failed' errors with everything in TWRP. If I try to mount as USB storage, my computer says it needs to be formatted...
When I try to do anything else it shows up with failed.
Ok here's what you'll need to do:
Boot your phone into the bootloader (hold power and volume down key together, release power after a second but keep holding volume down until you're in bootloader)
Select recovery
Once recovery boots up, connect to pc with usb cable, select mount in recovery menu, then select mount storage
Your phone should now show up on your pc as a drive, copy the entire ROM zip to your phone
Once it's copied, do eject and safely remove the drive from your pc, and hit unmount on your phone screen
Hit the home button (little house on bottom left) in recovery
From main recovery select wipe, once in wipe menu you must wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, and system
Once you've wiped all those, hit the home button again
Select install from the main recovery menu, then find the ROM you previously copied to your sd card and select it, then swipe to install, let the install finish (please note: if you're installing viper, it will have a few options to select during the install, select the ones you want. But right at the end of the install process there will be a checkbox for "reboot device now" and it will be checked, make sure you uncheck that before you hit finish/done)
Now you'll see two options, wipe cache/dalvik is one, do that, once that's done hit the home button again
From the main menu, hit reboot, and then bootloader, your phone will now boot back into the bootloader and fastboot usb should show up in red text on your screen if your usb cable is still connected
Now back to the pc, Copy the boot.img from the ROM zip and place it in your fastboot folder
Make sure you're connected with usb and fastboot usb is showing on your phone screen
Open a command prompt in your fastboot folder on pc and type in:
fastboot devices
You should see a device number return in the command prompt, if that shows up you're connected properly, so now type in the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img to your phone, let it finish
Once that's done you can reboot and you should be able to reboot into your new ROM

You may have corrupted your sd card. You'll have to format it, which means you'll lose all your data off it unfortunately. Do that first and then start again.

No luck trying to apply recovery...

Brand new 5 minute old HTC one with a 2.19.0000 HBOOT S-On. Unlocked bootloader via htcdev with no problem. Reboot into fastboot and flash recovery with cwm, it says its applied. I vol up to bootloader, power button, vol down to recovery and power button. I get a pink "Entering Recovery..." after about 10 seconds the device reboots, its the stock htc logo screen and then its back into the stock ROM. I'm new to this whole HTC "S-On" thing but it seems that the securityn defeats anyone perm writing to recovery, etc. Okay, cool no prob. I read theres tools like rumrunner,revone etc that break that. I run revone however it doesnt seem to work with my 2.19.0000 HBOOT and I get a "Segmentation Fault (core dumped) 139" when trying to run them. (and yes i tried running them 183011 times) Rumrunner cant even find my device however adb does and fastboot works fine.
What am I missing? Is this like an anti-tamper mechanism by the carrier that HTC puts on there? The whole reason I stayed HTC is because my previous phone was so great to root/rom. I had 0 problems putting a rom and cwm/rooting my HTC One S. Now the mini I cant even get passed step 2 of the process.
well i was finally able to get things working. im still s-off but rooted and running h8rifts cm11 m4 rom. so far so good. :good:
Make sure you phone is unlocked and try and different recovery like the twrp recovery. It's great! I've been using it all the time and it's easy to use because its touch screen. Flash it via fastboot on cmd. Here is the link to the twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418938

[Q] [Help] My HTC One S not booting on after rooting

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I am playing with a mobile software.
I did the unlock bootloader as per the instructions given in htc website, and my phone status shows unlocked, but it is still S-ON.(Hboot 2.51)
I was planning to install a custom rom either CM11 or MIUI5.
After reading many threads in xda as well as in other sites, I tried to do a S-OFF to install a custom ROM.
I tried Rumrummer, Moonshine and firewater, but nothing has made my mobile as S-OFF.
I tried to restore back to the original stock rom, and followed the process in htconeforum(how-unbrick-restore-htc-one-s-stock-relocked)
So, I tried to do an oem lock and it got relocked.
Now, I tried to do an RUU, and it didn't work with data transfer error.
Only Hboot comes on my phone with the below details
***Tampered***
***Relocked***
My Phone doesn't start now; tried pushing lot of CWM and TRWM recoveries, it got stuck in sending recovery for long time, and i exit.
Can anyone please help me and let me know, how can i restore back to htc rom or go forward and install custom rom.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I am playing with a mobile software.
I did the unlock bootloader as per the instructions given in htc website, and my phone status shows unlocked, but it is still S-ON.(Hboot 2.51)
I was planning to install a custom rom either CM11 or MIUI5.
After reading many threads in xda as well as in other sites, I tried to do a S-OFF to install a custom ROM.
I tried Rumrummer, Moonshine and firewater, but nothing has made my mobile as S-OFF.

Stuck in sending recovery/sending zip flash
Some how , I managed to push CWM recovery to my phone.
But when I select install from zip, it says "Error mounting SDCard".
I tried the fastboot oem lock using all in one tool kit and now it says Tampered, Relocked.
So, i am trying to run factory RUU exe , it stuck at sending recovery.
I tried to push the .zip factory RUU, and it says sending and stuck there.
Even I tried the adb sideload, it says data transfer failed.
Looks like all the data on the SD card(in my case internal storage) is gone during erase and I don't have any flash zips on the device and I am not able to send any flash zips to the device.
The drivers are installed correctly, and my HBoot 2.15 says fastboot usb when in bootloader, but when i type adb devices, it gives no device.
Can some one please help me in getting my phone back.
Thanks,
Deepak

I suggest you get the OTG USB cable. Load the ROM on a Flash USB and then use TWRP to install the ROM (Remember to mount the OTG in TWRP) Check Amazon, it only cost less than $3. I've never push the ROM to the phone. Saves a lot of time when you have multiple phones.
