Did you have super cid before update? This new update isn't good, in future you can download safer versions on xda. Id try plugging phone in wall charger for a day or so. Good luck

Always remember: NEVER PERFORM OFFICIAL CARRIER UPDATES! That is all. As for your question, it seems like it is bricked. Can you even boot into bootloader? What was your battery on? Also, were you rooted, s-off, unlocked BL? Need a bit more details. If not, you may need to send your phone to be JTAG. People all over the forums, suggest a website, that will do it for $60. Which is best compared to sending it to HTC or AT&T
He said the phone is completely stock. There is the unlikely event of official updates bricking phones. Its their update that bricked it, so the carrier or HTC need to replace or repair the phone for you.
Yeah I did it through HTC sync. It did the update then when it said rebooting device it never rebooted. Lol sending it off today:/ I should have rooted this thing long ago......

well known issue on international version, already a thread discussing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635985
But still surprised to see tmobile us has the same problem as well since it launched the one s much later than Europe...
Mine says locked but above says tampered don't know why

Im seriously considering unlocking the bootloader. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Any replies are greatly appreciated..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
You can flash ROMs, radios, and kernels with an unlocked bootloader. Without it you cant.

What are some advantages to that as opposed to waiting for an ota?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
All custom ROMs offer various mods, tweaks, and overall improvements to the Android experience versus stock ROMs. Generally the OTAs leak long before they're pushed out, and and devs always update their ROMs accordingly so you never have to worry about accepting an OTA. Check out the development section and read through some of the ROM threads and you'll see what I mean about the tweaks and mods. If you find a ROM you'd like to have on your phone, only way to do it is by unlocking the bootloader. It's a lot easier and safer than you might think.

Im rooted on 1.85 stock rom. Does the one click unlock method still work?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yes sir it does.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Will that automatically put a custom recovery on the phone or would I have to get one from somewhere.. Sorry for all the questions..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No, you will have to flash the recovery yourself. There are a few threads in development for recoveries, and there are even a couple one click methods. Just look for them, should be on the first couple of pages.

The only cons are a very small chance of bricking your phone and rendering it unusable (follow instructions and you should be fine). Also, as of now, once you unlock the bootloader you will not be able to take the phone back for warranty or other reasons. In the future there may be ways to undo this process, but none that I know of right now.

It is very difficult to brick a phone and 99 times out of 100 it's recoverable. If you follow directions and only flash stuff that is made for your phone, then you will not brick it. As far as warranty claims are concerned, if it's a hardware issue they will still more likely than not take care of it. I've exchanged a few HOXs, all for hardware issues, and not once did they check the bootloader to see if it was unlocked at one point.

If your thorough in following directions, there's a thread I posted in development on unlocking your boot loader without voiding HTC warranty. Also if u do unlock, just go to the market and download goo manager beta. It will flash the recovery for you. Very nice tool to have.

I had this phone since it came out, and rooted and S-Off and I had tons of issues. Such as Wifi disconnecting and needing to restart the phone in order for it to work, also sometimes Wifi slowed down to a super crawl. Random reboots, etc. But this probably could of been credited to me dropping it all the time and messing up the internals.
I returned it and got a new one, updated to the latest and haven't rooted. Battery life is amazing, but too much bloatware!!!! Can I root and s-off the latest tmobile software? Cause I tried running the older RUU and that failed to install on my phone.

Um... S-off? The One S?
But yeah unlocking and rooting should be no problem, just use htcs unlock method...

You are saying that HTC them selves provided a rooting guide? If so can you provide a link for HTC Unlock method.
Thanks in advance

No HTC does not provide a rooting guide. They simply make it easy for you to unlock the bootloader using http://www.htcdev.com/
Once the bootloader is unlock you can root via a few method. There's plenty of sticky thread in the dev section.
This is just one thread

I recommend you install TWRP recovery so that you will find it simpler to flash roms. No need to fastboot flash boot.img.

Hey guys I have the telus one XL and I'm looking to get the screen/ device serviced cause of the screen moving in and out and the whole device is just very squeaky ... anyways I'm running a custom ROM and I'm wondering if I would have to re lock the boot loader before I send it in and get it serviced. I'm also wondering if they they will still fix it even though its boot loader unlocked. Does anybody have any experience with telus and HTC here in Canada?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
If its still in warranty they should take it to fix the screen regardless of bootloader status. Most telus reps don't even know how
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Alright thanks for the info, I'm just nervous that if I send it in, they might not fix anything because of how the recovery says "tampered"
