Softbricked(?) Rogers - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I recently tried to flash CM10 onto my Rogers One X through TWRP 2.3.3.1 but it's been stuck on the bootloader so now I don't have a working OS. I've been trying to figure out how to either fix that or go back to stock through RUU I can't find the correct RUU for that.

So far I've tried
Flashing TWRP 2.6 on, clearing cache/devlek/system then flashing CM10

Every phone is different. You should always read the stickies prior to doing anything even if you think you know what you're doing.
With 2.14 hboot and s-on you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img where the boot.IMG is extracted from the rom. This phone has a few quirks so I suggest reading more or you may find out the hard way.
Typically I ignore these questions but I was feeling nice today. Please also remember that the rules on xda are to search before asking so you are also in violation of xda rules.
Good luck.

I'll assume the attempted flash of TWRP 2.6 failed, since your bootloader is relocked.

Hi Guys
I am trying to get SuperCID, S-Off, then --> 3.18RUU and TWRP2.6.0.0 --> CM10.1 or 10.2
I have a phone that i Unlocked bootloader on HTCDev a long time ago. Rooted, TWRP2.6.0.0 running CM10.1 but because newer kernels require newer HBOOT so i am trying to get it.
I have TELST001 as CID

This should work too:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "11111111" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
Once you get Super CID, you can get S-Off using the method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
which worked wonderfully for me just this morning.
Then, once you've verified that you have S-Off, you can update your HBoot using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156686
I used the third zip listed, worked just fine.
If you do not have S-Off and you attempt this, the chance of bricking your phone is incredibly high.
When you get to green bar, as mentioned in the instructions, let it sit for a few seconds, and then move on to the next step without waiting for it to go away (because it won't...).
Once you're done with that, I would clear the cache using <fastboot erase cache>, flash your recovery software using <fastboot flash recovery "recovery software name here"> and then boot to that to flash your rom.
As I said, I just did this all this morning, and I'm happily running a rom that requires the updated HBoot. So best of luck!:good:
That's not entirely correct. It's not just the hboot you're meant to update. You really should run an RUU.

RUU Questions

I have a phone that I got which was locked to Telus, the root was messed up. I want to flash a RUU so I can update to the latest OS. I get that "developer red text" with the HTC logo in recovery.

Thanks
Those "tampered"and "unlocked" messages in bootloader are completely normal. That means you can now flash a custom recovery, and then from that recovery you can flash a custom ROM.
If you want to RUU for some reason, you'll probably want to s-off first. If you have SuperCID and are s-on, running an RUU could brick your phone.

My phone isn't rooted, I tried to flash a recovery file but that's when it messed up. I get the HTC logo and red text that says "This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission".
I cant get to the CWM from recovery. I also cant upgrade my OS from the phone itself I get that red text error and its just frozen there until I reboot the phone.
I relocked the bootloader and it now has a security warning thing.

The security warning thing went away now but I ran:

Could I flash the Telus RUU now? Also if I got SuperCID and S-Off could I flash the Rogers RUU? Would that even give me data back?
Your CID is fine, and because you have relocked your bootloader you should be ok to run the RUU.
Have you triple checked that your apn settings are correct? That's usually the cause of a loss of data.
Sent from my Evita
No I didn't set that up yet haha that would be the reason why. Just did and it works now!
I'm going to wait for my phone to charge up some more before it run the RUU. Hopefully all goes well, and I can actually get my device properly rooted..
Thank you for your help
Running the RUU won't really help the rooting process. You could just unlock your bootloader again and flash a recovery. Just make sure it's a recovery for this device (Evita) because that may be where you went wrong in the first place.
Sent from my Evita
Alright I downloaded the HTC One X(evita) All-In-One Toolkit
I will follow the steps on there
Do I have to do the Xfactor and MotoChopper steps?
Do you still have the unlock.bin from when you unlocked your phone the first time? It should still work.
Sent from my Evita
Yes I still have the email from HTC and I made a backup of the file as well
I just used that toolkit and went right to the unlock bootloader.
In the bootloader it is now
***Tampered***
***Unlocked***
I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 and put the SU files in my main directory
Worked!! Flashed the SU file and phone booted up properly now
You should be able to use it again to unlock your bootloader. Just go back to htcdev and do the last part where you enter the unlock.bin.
Then I recommend flashing TWRP 2.6 recovery from here.
Sent from my Evita
Should I just reflash 2.6 instead then? Do I have to remove anything or can I just flash over top?
Also I'm on 4.0.3 should I update the OS and then flash 2.6?
You can't flash TWRP until you've unlocked your bootloader, so do that first. Then flash TWRP by using the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-evita.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can either flash a superuser zip to have root on the stock ROM. Or you can flash a custom ROM.
Sent from my Evita
I got it all to work using the toolkit. I have superuser on my phone now. But I used the 2.5.0.0 file instead.
Do you think its wiser to update my OS and then reflash to 2.6.0.0?
You don't need to update the os, you can flash any ROM you like once you have the correct recovery installed. Just make sure you flash TWRP 2.6, because 2.5 has major bugs.
Sent from my Evita
Alright I flashed 2.6.0.0 now. Is there any custom ROM you would recommend?
Should I run the S-off commands in the toolkit before I flash the custom ROM?
It's against the rules to ask which ROM is best/most stable etc, so it's against the rules for me to answer something like that.
But...
If you're looking for a Sense based rom, look in Android Development section, there you'll find MagioRom (Sense 5), or if you want Sense 4 there's ViperXL, RageXL, and others.
If you're looking for a stock android/aosp ROM, look in Original Android Development. There's a whole bunch of great ROMs in that section, like Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Carbon, Rootbox, Slimbean, etc.
Have a look in the OP (first post) for each ROM, that'll tell you if there are any bugs and a basic rundown of the features, and any requirements you may have to fulfill for the ROM to work. Just find one that suits you best, and if it doesn't, you can just flash another.

I guess I will give this one a shot.

Yes I believe that's right. First SuperCID, then s-off, then RUU. Once you've done the RUU, you'll need to reflash TWRP again.

Could you point me in the direction of the RUU file?

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery. Goes Black!

I have an HTC One X from AT&T. I recently got root and started playing. I flashed Clean Rom 6.5 using clockwordmod and it went well. Used it about a week and got bored. (Later I saw that TWRP was needed for that.) I decided I wanted to try a Cyanogen Mod but realized later after research that my phone received the OTA update that only allows Sense ROMS on my phone. After I flashed Cyanogen 10 with clockwordmod the touch screen wouldn't work. I tried to get back to Clean Rom 6.5 and tied to flash TWRP as my bootloader. It went bad from there. Now I cannot get to recovery. It appeas I don't have a bootloader flashed. I used FastbootFlasher_V2.4 and flashed TWRP. It said it was sent. Still won't go to recovery. I downloaded the RUU.exe and tried that process. It failed too. After I tried to restore the RUU it said to reboot. I did and then the cyanogen logo came on and hung. I went to fastboot and typed in fastboot erase cache. No help. Here's my screen info if that helps:

Did you flash boot.img in fastboot? If you didn't, you should try it first before you attempt to do S-OFF. To get S-OFF, I would use Rumrunner.

I don't know why you want to s-off but i think you don't have to. If you have twrp you can mount your sd via twrp to a computer, copy any rom you want to the sd, flash boot.img with fastboot from the rom zip and flash rom via twrp. But you should first unlock your bootloader

Thanks both for the replies. I have transferring a boot.img using fastboot, but this just gets me into a never ending boot screen. The boot.img I tried were cm 10.1.2 and then a 10.1.3. I had read that this will not work with S-on, but I am far from an expert. I have tried rumrunner, but this needs adb to work, and from what I gather adb only works when the phone itself is also booted into an OS.
I had tried to get adb working, but I never get any response from adb devices as the phone never gets past the bootloader.
I realise that I don't need S-off to flash a stock ROM, but my problem is that can't find a stock ROM for a 2,15 Hboot. My goal is to install CM 10.2.
Regards
Richard
You can not install any boot.img with locked bootloader, you can just ruu back.
If you want to install cm 10.2 unlock your boot loader, download cm10.2, flash boot.img from the downloaded zip and flash cm from recovery. Otherwise you can just ruu back

Hi,
I had tried this, but got into an endless fuzzy blue screen loop. This was because of S-on I believe. I had relocked the bootloader in preparation for an RUU.
I had figured that my best way out of this mess would be to flash a stock ROM, turn S-off and then flash cm
