So I traded my one X for a Lumia 920 and the guy came back texting me about how he somehow got into the recovery screen and it says there is no OS installed, he had pictures to prove it. And he also has a mac, so I don't know what to do. The boot loader is relocked so he's not even rooted, that eliminates flashing a ROM. I'm lost, RUU don't work on Macs either.... What should I do?
It doesn't sound like it's your fault that the guy screwed up the phone after you gave it to him. Not your problem?

Was the phone relocked and functional when you gave it to him? And, was it s-on or s-off?

Well, if the phone was s-on and relocked, and functional when he traded it, clearly the other guy screwed it up. But if the OP just relocked and powered off when it still had custom recovery/rom, then it would not have been able to boot up in that state.

It was s-off and it was working perfectly. Relocked bootloader and he was like "I was downloading apps, then it rebooted to recovery and I texted you because I got scared." That doesn't sound right to me. I think he wiped the system and tried blaming me.
How can he text you from a phone that has no operating system? Just saying...lol.

What's your software version?

Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
So, I'm running the original 1.73, I'm rooted and have managed to use a hex editor to change the cid but can only get it to take ROGER001. When I try 11111111, it goes back to CWS__001. Using CID getter app to verify. I have gotten the unlock token already just haven't unlocked anything yet. I was hoping I could get some insight before committing. I've looked through the forums but couldn't find anything specific enough to help. I did try using the one click method first but nothing changed. Thanks in advance for commenting.

HTC sync not installed, I do have the latest drivers, and when I tried the one click, it said it was unable to extract files or something like that. Regardless, it should work when I manually change the cid through the adb, but it doesn't. Can I manage with the Rogers cid? Or should I continue for super cid?

I had a lot of trouble using the one-click tools and ended up doing it manually. Are you following the steps here and using HxD as your hex editor? I only recommend HxD because it is well tested to work with this process.

Delete whatever p4's you have on your PC/SD card. Start from scratch making sure it is the modified p4 that you are sending back.
The partition doesn't care what info you send to it, you could send hboot partition there and it will write successfully...brick the phone, but it will write it. So just double check your work and send the supercid p4 to the phone and reboot. It will stick
Ok so I deleted all the p4's on both my computer and my sd, I made sure everything ran as admin, double checked my work and...

I tried rebooting from adb, but it gave that device not found error, so I restarted my phone via power switch. I have voodoo root keeper, not sure if this is preventing anything. I can switch back to Roger cid no problem. Like I said earlier I have the unlock token and really just want to be able to install twrp for now. Any harm in just keeping Roger cid? Like I said I would love to have the genetic cid, but am content in just accomplishing a recovery flash. It is interesting why this isn't working. Thanks again.

I realized that the reason why the phone didn't reboot from adb was because I was still in the shell. I just changed it back to Roger cid and it rebooted fine.

i tried to install new ROM. It couldn't make a new tmp/update_binary to I rebooted to Fastboot. i think i accidentally installed a TEGRA 3 ROM....
Now my phone won't turn on, no LEDs come on.
HOWEVER, when plugged into my computer, the computer recognizes that something's been plugged in (with that du-doo) noise, but then quickly makes the (da-da-da) noise to inform me that the USB device isn't working.

In Windows Device Manager I get Code 28 (wrong drivers) for some device called QHSUSB_DLOAD, but that might be something else.

From what I know if you took the ota update then there's no work around into root/unlock bootloader/s-off as the update patched it up,so pretty much your stuck with the ota update with no root and anything else until someone can figure out another method

If you're on AT&T, no. Downgrading is possible, but you need s-off, and you need to root to get s-off. There is apparent root method for 4.1 on AT&T. One guy managed it on the x-factor exploit but no one else has been able to.

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.
