[Q] I really need some help :eek: - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey guys,
After days of googling on how to fix my problem i finally found this awesome site here.
The problem is that i cant flash my device with the command :"fastboot flash boot boot.img" because i cant get into my normal android os
All i reach is the hboot menu and from there my pc wont recognize my device as device...
Did you guys had something similar already or a solution to install android firmware manually?
regards

You need to be in your fastboot setting. Power down with the volume down key held and power back up the same way. Navigate and click fastboot and make sure the red box says fastboot usb

You may need to download HTC Sync Manager from the HTC site and install it so that the drivers for the phone are available in your system.

need more information on your device:
what did you do up to the point where it stopped working.
Is your phone recognized by your computer when plugged in, adb devices.
hboot version?
do you have TWRP or CWM recovery on the phone and can you boot to that as well as the bootloader, hboot menu, is what you called it
Also you are on the dual core version not the tegra 3 model, if you have the tegra 3 wrong forum

I tried to encrypt it, but after the reboot it didnt show the normal login screen after waiting 1 day.
No it isnt recognized by computer ;/
how do i know the hboot version?
whats TWRP or CWM?
thanks for your help!

is this a joke? why would you need to flash boot.img if you don't even know what any of this stuff is? if you encrypted your phone and it went bad, flashing boot.img wouldn't help a thing. sounds like a lame april fools joke.

how did you encrypt it, i think I've seen the option somewhere but i don't remember where it was.
were you rooted or stock before the encryption
do you have the latest htc sync manger installed
Hboot will be displayed on your bootloader, power button + volume down until soft buttons stop blinking then let go of the power button until but continue to hold volume down to boot into the bootloader
TWRP & CWM are recovery software used to flash custom roms and other mods

Help! Desire problem, won't do anything anymore

Hi guys, yesterday i tried to root my desire hd and flash a rom called icecoldsandwich 8.5, i started my phone and it got stuck at the bootlogo from ics. Then i think i deleted it from my sd card and now i can't do anything with my phone. i can enter the boot menu but nothing more.. if i select recovery, i get a red exclamation mark. I hope it can be fixed
thanx
Moved to General Q&A.
just download a ruu that is only for your device but be careful ( branded ones and unbranded)
then just put it in fastboot via bootloader and flash it and it will boot up

If you read what they posted, they cannot get to the boot menu. I have a RUU program designed to run remotely from my computer over USB that works wonders if I ever have a problem. I could find the stock .img for your phone and send you the program where you would just plug your phone in over USB, run the program, locate your RUU file (which would be included) and your done. Should be back to normal, worked for me when I accidentally bootlooped. PM me for more info. This will require you to re-root your phone.

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

i dont know what is SuperCID so i guess i didn't use it.
recovery is the only thing that i can get into right now.
i tried factory reset. didn't work.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

yeah it seems like you did take all steps. with changing your CID im not really sure what to do. illl be back if i find anything but right now im stuck. sorry man.
drklazarus26 said:
Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.
no one seems to have a good solution to this???
i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.

[Q] Help, may have bricked

A little foreshadow. I attempted to install the jellybean update on a rooted ATT phone. I ended up getting sent to the TWRT (?) screen on the install. I was silly and decided to clear the system... Which erased my OS completely.
For a while I was able to get to the TWRT(?) screen where I could mount my sd card, etc. While researching the problem I came across this:
a solution of fastbooting a recovery.img
I ran the fastboot recovery.img. The only problem is the only screen I can now access is the bootloader. I have bootloader 1.14.0002 loaded onto my phone if that helps.
Is there anyway to try to get a operating system or flash a rom onto this phone still or is it bricked for good? Also if I was able to put a rom onto it, what do you sugggest?
When I try to go to Recovery or Factory Reset, I get the HTC screen with the red text underneath it and it never goes any further.

That is the information listed in my bootloader as of now. I am not showing it listed as a drive in my computer when connected to USB. Also when I 'power off' I am in a reset cycle that doesn't stop.
I really appreciate any help in advance. This was a big wake up call to myself about how I should be a lot more careful when messing with these things.
Thank you to everyone that answers!

[Public Service Announcement] Read before installing the AT&T Jellybean OTA or RUU
You might be hosed. Can you get into bootloader?
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Read before doing anything. Such a simple task. It's easy to read, it's hard to come back from a brick.
Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium
You are not bricked, you are not even close to bricked... If you are already rooted, get the official jellybean update of your head. Clear your thoughts and lock it away. There are tons of custom jellybean ROMs available, a couple based on atts JB update... Flash one of those. If you can get to bootloader you're fine. If you can still access twrp, even better... Which version of twrp do you have IF you can still access? We'll start with that. If not You'll have to fastboot a recovery. 2.3.3.0 is your safest bet, I think the community will agree this is one of the most stable versions for our device.. Just in case you have to push it, download from here onto your computer. http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img
Now drop that image file into your adb/fastboot folder. Right click your adb/fastboot folder and open a command prompt from there. Shoot this command.
Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img
Now from bootloader choose to boot into recovery. Awwww yea now we on to something!
Now you can download the rom of choice onto your computer. Since you opted for official JB, take a look at Scotts CleanRom. It uses ATT firmware as base :thumbup: once downloaded, double click the zip file (rom) it'll show contents, and youll see a boot.img. simply drop the boot.img into your fastboot/adb folder.
Now on your phone. Choose "mount" in recovery. Make sure it mounts and shows files on your computer. From here drag the entire rom zip (cleanrom) onto your SD card. Now "unmount" hell yea we getting close. I can feel it!
Back out and choose "install" find cleanrom.zip, and swipe to flash. F*ckin rite, this is what android is all about.
Once its completed, DO NOT REBOOT SYSTEM. Since your s-on and have 1.14 hboot, you'll have to fastboot the boot.img you put in your adb folder. Choose to boot into bootloader! Make sure once again it says fastboot usb
Fire up command prompt inside that folder.
Shoot the command ---> fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sending.......
Okay....
Finished.....
OMG success!!! Some people will say to ---> fastboot erase cache
I don't necessarily do this, but it definitely won't hurt. Now reboot system and enjoy Scotts hard work. They don't calls his ROMs the most stable ROMs on the planet for nothing

Not only does fastboot erase cache not take long it avoids many stupid little issues. I would say it's a must when flashing a new recovery.

The reason it went to recovery is very simple. The OTA needs to have stock recovery in order to install. You don't have stock recovery on your phone anymore, you have custom recovery (TWRP). So the OTA stalled there, when it didn't find stock recovery.

Of course it did, what were you expecting to happen? Wiping the OS is the very definition of what happens when you wipe system. If you didn't know what wiping system would do, you shouldn't have done it. For that matter, you shouldn't be doing anything on your phone if you don't know what its for.
A lot of this points to a fundamental lack of reading and understanding:
- Don't know the name of the custom recovery installed on the system
- Wiping things without knowing what they are
- Basic rule (that many folks here seem to ignore, for reasons unknown): Don't install any OTA on a rooted device without first researching what will happen
Lack of basic understanding which spells almost certain doom when modding smartphones. I would highly suggest a few solid hours of research before messing with your phone anymore. I'm not saying this to be a jerk. I'm saying it so you don't brick your phone.
You aren't bricked. With very few exceptions (and this isn't one of those) if the screen turns on, and you can get into hboot, the phone is recoverable. And probably fairly easily so, with the right steps. But you need to do some homework before proceeding.

[HELP] Not sure if bricked or hardware issue?
I know this is my first post, but I really need the help.
(Also, I'm sorry if this is a bit long)
I've have searched the HOX Evita and Android Q&A forums countless time in the past 3 days trying to figure this out. This thread and this one: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156665&highlight=fastboot+usb+hangs", are the most similar to what I think is happening to my phone.
Just a little background:
- Bought a used HTC One X, but has a cracked digitizer which I'll be replacing this weekend. (Not sure if this is causing the problems, could it?)
- I was told that the OS was still stock, but I know that's not true now.
- During the first 12 hours I used it, I had no problems.
- Then while I was playing music it rebooted and went to the HTC boot up screen with the red text. Stopped then rebooted again to the normal HTC boot up screen but just hanged there and vibrated nonstop.
- I then used the power button to force a shut down and haven't been able to use it since then.
Here's where I'm at now:
- I'm able to get to the bootloader screen sometimes with the VOL DOWN+PWR method, but most of the time it goes to the QHSUSB mode.
- When I can get to the bootloader, I try to get to Fastboot or Recovery mode but once I press the power button it just stops and does nothing.
- The few times I have gotten into fastboot, and plug in an USB cable, it hangs.
- So far I have NOT gotten it to show "FASTBOOT USB" therefore I haven't been able to use a RUU or flash a boot.img.
- I have reinstalled the drivers almost 5 times now, and tried with different sources from here and HTC Sync. And also tried with 3 different cables and USB ports on my laptop. But still no signs of a connection with my laptop.
- And at one time I (before I knew I shouldn't have) I did try to Factory Reset from the bootloader, but nothing happened. I hope that won't become my downfall.
But yeah, sorry again for the long post, just trying to be thorough. If anyone has an idea of what I can do, please I need your help. It really doesn't matter to me whether my HOX goes back to stock, or use a ROM like CleanROM 6, as long as I can use it again.
Also here's the info at the bootloader screen.

You will have to get a proper fastboot connection before you can do anything. Then unlock the bootloader then you can flash a recovery on there. Is this an AT&T phone?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is an AT&T phone. I understand that I need a fastboot connection, I'm just having difficulties timing it. Is it normally this difficult to get a FASTBOOT USB connection? Or is there something else that I could be missing, or any other method?
I have thought about booting Windows XP on my laptop from a flash drive then trying to connect from that. Does XP have a better record when it comes to unlocking and flashing with android?
If you did a factory reset from bootloader your sd is corrupted. When you can get into the bootloader what does it do if you click on recovery?

There's nothing to time. Drivers and fastboot/adb are all you need. HTC Sync can get in the way so kill or uninstall it if it's running. When you boot to Bootloader, select fastboot, plug in the phone, if you have the the drivers it should go into fastboot USB. I have seen people having issues before due to something interfering with the HTC drivers but it's not common. You can try creating a VM for a clean environment with less chance of anything interfering.
Thanks again for the replies guys.

I was just able to get back into Bootloader, and tried to go into recovery, but with no luck. It just hangs at the bootloader screen. :
EDIT: Not sure if relevant, but after that it eventually shut down, and when I checked it in the Device Manager it appeared again as QHSUSB-DLOAD.

There's nothing to time. Drivers and fastboot/adb are all you need. HTC Sync can get in the way so kill or uninstall it if it's running. When you boot to Bootloader, select fastboot, plug in the phone, if you have the the drivers it should go into fastboot USB. I have seen people having issues before due to something interfering with the HTC drivers but it's not common. You can try creating a VM for a clean environment with less chance of anything interfering.

I'm gonna try it again with HTC Sync uninstalled. But if I get the same results I'll probably will endup creating a VM, and hopefully get better results.
I would also like to add that when I do try to get to the bootloader I get various results. Sometimes it goes into QHSUSB like I said in my first post. Then sometimes just nothing but a blank screen and the LED light blinking like the battery is low, or it's solid as if it is charging even though my HOX isn't plugged in to anything. That's what I was referring to when I said I was having difficulties timing it.

factory reset in bootloader corrupts the SD card. We wont worry about that just yet as there's nothing we can do about it until we can get recovery on there.
You're going to have to be very careful because it sounds like your EMMC partitions might have some issues. if you can get it to bootlaoder KEEP IT AT THAT SCREEN. don't power it off or anything, leave it there. Because one wrong move could be a perma brick. If we can get a rom on there to S-OFF with, we can RUU to restore your emmc partitions.

Help!! flashed wrong recovery

I flashed twrp recovery from HOX interational version by mistake. Now the phone is stuck in bootloop. Tried to boot into bootloader by pressing vol down + power but that didnt work and i also tried to reboot via adb but that also threw me an error . I cant even turn off my phone it just keep rebooting.. Is there anyway i can revert this? Btw my phone is recognized by PC in disk manager though.
My phone is s-off and unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold the volume down button while it's rebooting, do not let go, it should hopefully get to the bootloader. The next problem is that you could have borked the recovery partition by flashing the wrong recovery. Try to flash the right recovery, it might work. Otherwise you'll need to run an RUU.
Out of interest, how in the world did you manage to flash a recovery from the Endeavoru?

Be extremely careful to only flash mods from this forum section specific to the EVITA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
You can also use my Index thread (also EVITA specific): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Especially since you are s-off, you need to be extremely careful about what you flash (and you obviously were not) since all safety checks (such as device check) are disabled with S-off. Different devices have different partitions, and flashing a mod for another device could have easily messed up the hboot partition and bricked the phone.
The fact the phone still turns on is a good sign, and you can probably get it sorted at as timmaaa instructed in the previous response. But consider this a close call and don't make the same mistake again.
Thank you so much timmahy. Just pressing volume down worked and I flashed a RUU after. I was searching for "recovery for hox" on Google and I found one and it happened to be the international versions twrp recovery. This is my gfs phone and I really did not know about the whole evita and hox Tegra difference. Thanks a lot again

Google is not your friend, when searching for phone mods. Stick to the proper XDA forum, and always do the proper research to be absolutely certain you are flashing the right thing. There are plenty of devices (not just the HOX) with different carrier versions, variants, etc. that can get you bricked if you flash the wrong version.

[SOLVED] Flashing light, no screen...Help appreciated!

Hi All!
Recently i flashed TWRP and Cynogenmod 10.2.1 stable to my HTC Telestra One XL (evita)
I unlocked boot-loader
I successfully rooted
But I shut down once, and when i tried to boot, it got stuck in a boot-loop
Upon many retries, it suddenly wont turn on
when I charge it it only has a flashing red light but it wont even turn on, no screen not buttons; nothing!
And if I plug it in to my PC, the pc keeps sounding the USB Connected sound multiple times over a short period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and then it gives off multiple shaky beeps
I hope this is enough info to let anyone help out!
Thank You in Advance
EDIT:
when connected to a pc it shows drivers is ready to use but tries to install QHUSB_DLOAD but fails and latest RUU does not detect
Thx again
What is the exact full filename of the ROM zip that you flashed? When a device is showing up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in Windows it usually means it's bricked.

Just found out:
a friend of mine tried to flash a file named "cm-10.0.0-evita" and it gave off a message saying that this phone is not rooted or missing supersu/ something along those lines
before that he wiped sd card (whole thing)...
and then it went off from there
NOTE: its a phone with mess with, but still want to fix even though its just a side phone we barely use....help appreciated
So does it power on at all?

pc recognises it but wants to install qhusb_dload (as mentioned) and it just sais no driver found
i am researching and i found something called a "RIFF Box" but unsure if its worth it, plus i dont know where to jtag it (if its possible at all)
PS: hi from sydney!

How did he try to flash it -_- these vague responses make it very hard to help. Bottom line is you can try pressing and holding power until the light goes off and then power and volume down to get the bootloader up, if that doesn't work you can try the evita jet tool to try to unbrick it. Bricks such as yours are not recoverable 9 times out of 10.
It looks like your only option is to get a jtag repair done. I wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself unless you're a fully experienced electronic engineer or the like. I'm not sure how many jtag repairers there are in Australia but I'm guessing Google should be able to reveal that information. Howdy from Melbourne.

he placed the cyanogen mod on the phones sd card, then he wiped sd card, after that he used the install function on twrp it gave him a message that his phone is not rooted and if he would like to root it, he accepted, then it rebooted into twrp, and he tried again to install, same message appeared and then he gave up and shut it down...(sorry for vague terms, please bear with me, still trying to learn the ropes of talking on this forum)
I gotta say, this is all very odd :/ How did he install anything if he wiped the SD card after copying it over? :/ hmmmm In any case, you CAN try he jet tool as per my last post before getting a jtag. You'll need a linux install or Bootable USB stick/CD/DVD though.
My guess is that the only thing he installed was SuperSU. That'd be why it booted straight back into TWRP.

Hi guys!
im back
I JTAG'd the phone overseas, and it came back, surely enough, working, but now another problem arises,
the guy apparently unlocked the bootloader, S-Off, and installed CM with android 4.3.1. the phone boots, everything is well, but for times from 10 seconds to minutes of usage it just turns off, the Hboot shows
***tampered***
***relocked***
any idea wth is wrong with it now?
it does not reboot from power menu, and does not do anything really since I cant keep it on for more than a few minutes at most. I cannot keep it on long enough to unlock the bootlaoder anymore, and I cannot boot into TWRP (as the guy told me he put it on)
da hell do I Do now? any help appreciated
Try an RUU, any Evita RUU is fine if you have s-off.

There's only one way to run an RUU, and that's to connect your phone and initiate the program in Windows. You're s-off so all security checks are disabled.
