[Q] Help! Relocked bootloader stuck - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi all, I'm new here, but I have a major problem. I had rooted my phone with the ViperXL rom, and the all-in-one tool kit. Recently I was planning on returning to stock, so I attempted to unroot the phone. I'm not very savvy when it comes to rooting, so the first thing I did was stupidly relock the bootloader.. big mistake, because now I'm stuck on the bootloader screen and NOTHING is working, not recovery, not factory reset. Please, I need some serious help, I have no phone.

Download the ruu for your phone they are in the general section hook your phone to your computer and run the ruu if you want complete stock if not just reunlock your bootloader

I think once you relock, its expecting you to RUU, and everything is wiped. Just get the correct RUU and run it, as suggested above.

Actually, that's exactly what you do when you're returning to stock. Relock, run RUU, done.

I think things on your sdcard are only wiped when you unlock. The last time I relocked, everything was still there until I unlocked again.

1.85 and supercid

So has anyone managed to use the changed cid after updating to the new 1.85 to re unlock the downloader?
I'm still showing 1111111 cid, but neither the old unlock token, or even new ones will unlock the darn downloader.
I think I saw someone say they managed it, but cant find the post.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have root and unlock bl on 1.85.
I finally got it to work! I had to manually RELOCK the 1.85 bootloader (even though it said it was relocked already). Then hit the unlock again. Bam. Thank goodness!
So you re-locked, flashed 1.85, manually re-locked again, and then unlocked?
How did you achieve root? Just by flashing the recovery and SuperSU?
Yes to all. Now im trying to find the right supersu zip to use in rec.

Fantastic. Thank you! Worked and Im finally back up!
After doing the following steps, I had to manually install Busybox from the market.
so if im on rooted 1.73, i can run supercid, run thru htcdev to unlock, manually relock, ruu 1.85, manually relock, unlock thru htcdev, and then can flash CWM & install SuperSU for root?

Remove superuser after JTAG

Hi all,
I am having one issue with my AT&T HTC One X. I had my HOX rooted with CM10 installed. I unrooted it flashed at&t rom through RUU. After that (without reading enough about it) I updated my phone to JB update and got bricked. I sent out my phone to mobiletechvideos and they did an awesome job in JTAGing my phone and its running fine now with official At&t ROM ( and all its bloat) and its running on JB 4.1.1.
Now as my phone is still under warranty I wanna try taking it to the at&t device support center and get it replaced (I know its void already but I still wanna try it) The question is that I still have Superuser installed in there and I dont see any options in it to uninstall it. I also download root checker app which says that I still have root. I went into bootloader and it says LOCKED hboot 2.14. Now how can I turn it to complete stock (out of the box) without SU and root so that i can TRY to get it replaced under the warranty. Thanks!!
Isn't SU simply an application that's installed?
Not sure what they check for at the service center (probably varies depending on the person), but unrooting (possible?), locking the bootloader, and making sure that 'TAMPERED' doesn't show when booting into the bootloader is probably a good idea. Pretty sure that once they see 'TAMPERED', they'll say your warranty is hosed, and you're stuck with your current device.
Just my thoughts. I would search XDA for threads that have similar experiences and see what they have to say before attempting that, of course.
You can use ES file explorer or Root explorer to delete super user.

My phone is on JB 4.1.1 with software version 3.18
I just rebooted to bootloader and saw that its locked but its S-OFF, can I install a custom ROM? Attached is the screen shot from the bootloader

If i an reading this correctly, you have s off and supe cid. You need to unlock the boot loader but i dont know if that is possible. It is just werid they kept it locked, but it is s off. I am sure htc will see that
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I believe there is a way to trick htc dev If it will allow you to change cid. I have seen where people would change it to a rogers cid and use dev to unlock since there are no restrictions like at&t has. But I would research this carefully before any attemp is made to do it. Forget where I read it. But it might be worth looking into.

Oh wow, that seems sweet. Since Rogers uses the "evita" code name. I wonder if it would also work for Telstra as well. Gonna google see. If that is the case you (or where ever you read it from) just solve a handful of mysteries for us AT&T folks.

Just to to HTCDev.com and follow the bootloader unlock process. Since you have SuperCID, it will work.

Fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Then unlock with htcdev
If that Fastboot command doesn't work, (not sure the the bootloader needs to be unlocked for it to work) then hex edit your Cid. And then unlock with htcdev

Folks have been reporting still being able to use 11111111 (even after it was reported that HTC was blocking it), while others have had to change to 22222222. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. But you're right, if 11111111 doesn't work for the OP, they should try 22222222.
So I successfully unlocked my boot loader. So now I have root, S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. The question is now I want to flash a custom ROM i.e. ViperXL. Do I need to flash boot.img first like it is with 1.14 hboot?
Not if you are s-off.

Since you are s-off, you can just flash in twrp as normal. You can fastboot the boot.img if you want, but it isnt necessary. So if you want to download the zip straight from your phone, you can...no pc needed. S-off is almost like a super phone...
Yes. S-Off makes its possible to flash roms without flashing boot image separately. Just flash the zip from twrp.

Root 3.18 idea

Is there a way we can erase entire system OS, like a rooted device can using TWRP? If so after erasing system OS we can use older RUU? Afterwards then unlock bootloader and root, mission accomplished root successful. But does anyone know if you can do the erase system OS through the Command Prompt on platform-tools. If so how!? We might not be able to root 3.18 AT&T One X because AT&T are jerks but once we find a way to downgrade problem solved, maby that's the loop hole into the software I just don't know how to do it.

As far as I know the only reason you can't use lower ruus is because of the hboot.(could be wrong)
Also i think you can unlock bootloader with root and maybe get twrp (might be wrong)
So use this to downgrade to 1.09 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982442 (not sure it will work for your hboot)
then use the hboot 1.09's respective ruu.. I think 1.85.
root 1.85 then wham rooted.
But this is just a guess made by a guy who doesn't do these things. I'm honestly more of a hardware guy than software.
But the only to find out is for a guy who knows about software to tell me I'm an idiot or for you to try it one an actual xl.
Unless you're s-off you CAN NOT ruu down.... Only up my brother... OP hasn't been 100% clear if he's s-off or not....
If he has a telus or rogers phone he can unlock the bootloader without root. ATT models HAVE to have root access, if not htcdev will let you know your device isn't supported.
If you were unlocked BEFORE taking the update, should you be able to still have held on to the original unlock token you might be able to fastboot it again and unlock, fastboot twrp, flash rom or SU..... Although I can almost guarantee I'm wrong lol
If you were rooted, unlocked, and took the ota you should have bricked. So is there a chance you had s-off?

S-Off is the only reason i did not brick when running the 3.18 RUU on my current device also why not just hook up an otg cable with a pj83img.zip and flash a radio with a modified mainver in the android-info.txt? thats how i have meen modifying the mainver in almost every htc device since the Touch Diamond
The reason you can't wipe the whole phone is that important portions of the firmware are write-protected without s-off.
If you were s-off before, you haven't lost root, you just need to push your custom recovery back on and then flash a rooted rom.

[Q] Can't update firmware, Unlocked/Tampered S-ON

I want to be able to flash the latest CM10.1 for my AT&T HTC One X. Details about the phone-
Unlocked with HTCDev. Hboot 1.14.0002. Have latest TWRP flashed. Says TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, and S-ON.
I tried a RUU to update the Hboot, but that didn't work.
How can I update the firmware so I can run latest ROMs like CM10.1? I've looked at similar questions, but the answers were for the International Version of the HTC One X.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Ok, so here's the 2nd question. Somehow I managed to wipe whatever ROM I had on here (CleanROM I think), so it doesn't boot to anything. I've tried flashing CleanROM 6 and 3.20.401.1 Odexed, both error out in TWRP.
I'm assuming I've managed to softbrick it?

Yeah, but you need a ROM working to even do the s-off process. So getting a ROM loaded is my main priority at this point. I can get into Bootloader/Fastboot, and I can still get to TWRP. Flashing a ROM from TWRP isn't working, and neither is running the latest RUU from fastboot. I get ERROR 159 when I try to run the latest RUU. So do I need to fastboot oemlock, then try again?
Perhaps running the RUU that was previously on it would work? 2.20, is what firmware was on it last.

It's alright, just a little surprised given the fact that HTC allows you to unlock and such, but their own RUU bricks the phone if in such a state.
I think it might be under warranty still, might try that route. Thanks for the help.
Sorry about your phone. It's Jtagg or new phone.

They state on their site that after unlocking the bootloader, RUU/OTA could brick you.
If you plan to try warranty with HTC, do not mention that you unlocked. They will charge you 200 straight up no matter what you say.

That's not necessarily true, I've ruu'ed with s-on and SuperCID and was fine. It is risky, though.

But was it the 3.18? It applies specifically for the AT&T 3.18 (and for some 3.17 JB RUUs on other carriers, and reported by some folks on this forum).
If you were able to run the 3.18 RUU successfully with SuperCID and S-on, I believe this is the first I've heard of it.

SuperCID as implemented on the AT&T One X is a mod/hack, and therefore not explicitly "allowed" by HTC. They can't really be held responsible for the effects of it.
SuperCID shouldn't be "expected" to brick under these conditions (worked fine with pre-JB RUUs), and nobody here has really been able to explain exactly why the phone bricks from SuperCID. But unfortunately, it does.

Do you have the at&t model? Factory resetting won't roll back the RUU, it'll only wipe user data.

Yes it ATT and ok but is there another way im already root all i need is recovery which need unlock bootloader
even if there is an downgrade would be helpful i had 4.1.2 before but no root programs worked then i just ruu'ed to see if it would work nd didnt
There's no way for you to unlock your bootloader, because there's no exploit for you to get SuperCID on the latest at&t update. You should have unlocked before you took the update. All it would have taken while you were on 4.1.2 was some research to find the exploit for that specific firmware, which does exist and does work, but now that you've taken the update there's no way for you to roll back. Sorry, but you're stuck.

Unlocked = unlocked
Tampered = non-official software (root)
