Is there any safe and sure way to unbrick the phone? - HTC One SV

I'm wondering that there is any trusted way and flashable official roms to get phone back from bootloop or brick? Is there any app like ODIN for samsung or flashtools for sony devices to flash roms for one SV?
I haven't done much changes in my phone due to this concern and also I think there are some ones like me.

There is no tool like odin here.
If you have access to the bootloader and you are S-Off, you can try a hboot downgrade and flash a RUU.

Hi.
Except if you started flashing wrong hboots, I don't think there's anytting you could possibly do that'll really and definitively "brick" your phone.
Brick is permanent, f***ing it up is not.

How is hboot downgrade and flashing a RUU? Is that working when it's softbricked? What about bootloop?

Well, that depends on what kind of "sofrbrick" and "bootloop" you have and what you did to end up there...
If you have a problem, explain it, if you don't, just don't forget to make cwm recovery backups and you'll be fine if you follow the guides.

[Q] Firmware Flashing

Is there any real way to brick a Sensation by flashing a corrupt or incorrect firmware? For example, if it were to be corrupt/incorrect, you'd still be able to get into the fastboot through the volume+power button combo, correct? So all you'd have to do is get the correct/previous firmware on the SD card, and let fastboot take over? I'm currently on HBOOT 1.17.1111 and want to flash CM9, which would entail flashing either 3.30.401.1 or 3.30.401.101. I've obviously never flashed any firmware to this phone before, and just want to be sure that I don't brick it.

if you flash the wrong file you could brick your phone but you have just to take care of checking the md5sum and you can then flash it without problem...i don't know if you can use fastboot or hboot when the phone is bricked cause i haven't ever had bricked my phone

Okay, thanks. And as for downgrading back to GB firmware and ROMs, I just flash the firmware the same way as I flashed the upgrade and then restore a backup or flash a ROM, right? There's no chance of bricking as long as the MD5s are correct?

I haven't seen a brick or bricked my phone and I'm a flashoholic. Worst you might get would be bootloops on start up after flashing a Rom. That's caused by flashing a Rom on a different Firmware not recommended for that specific Rom. If your new at flashing there's plenty of How To' flash/ root your device in these forums. So welcome to the world of never ending addicting phone modifications .

Please Help!

Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?
Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

I've got S-OFF and flashed boot.img with adb.
Will 4EXT allow me to mount the sd card?
Yes it should
Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.
It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

Hi,
What does your bootloader say?
hboot etc.
Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?

Hi,
It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.
I wonder if you can still s-off using revolutionary.
You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.
Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.
This is driving me nuts, tried 2 ruu's, both failed, if it was my phone it would be out the window!

Couple Issues with UrDroid on HTC One XL 1.9

Hi everyone,
I don't quite have 10 posts yet, so I can't post in the UrDroid thread.
I had UrDroid 1.8, and it worked just fine, had some wifi issues (sometimes after turning the wifi off, it wouldn't turn on again unless I rebooted), so I upgraded to 1.9
Now I have a few issues:
It stays "connected" to a wifi network even after losing connection
Occasionally, after rebooting, my Beautiful Widgets go away and my default keyboard reverts to the stock keyboard (from swype)
occasionally I cannot turn the wifi back on after turning it off without a reboot
That's about it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks! :good:
Could be just bugs in the software. Recommend trying different ROMs
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I really wish I could try other roms, for some reason UrDroid is the only one that actually works, I have no idea why this is!
For instance, when flashing any verison of CM, after flashing and rebooting, it stays stuck on the loading screen, and doesn't go further, even after waiting a half an hour. AOKP and the others basically brick my phone. I think it has something to do with the UrDroid using Aroma Installer that seems to work well with my phone and twrp. I'm a bit of a n00b, so don't know for sure.
Was hoping someone else had these issues and could tell me how they fixed them.

Because of your hboot version you need to flash the boot.img seperately. It is possible that you are doing this but still encountering bootloops and the reason for that would be Hboot compatibility. I have noticed that some ROMs just do not play nice with certain hboots. The most compatible hboot that I've seen is 2.14 which seems to be the same accross all carrier phones.
That being said, my suggestion to you is to S-OFF if you aren't already, then, while keeping your bootloader unlocked, RUU up to 3.18 or 3.17 or whatever is the latest for your carrier which will update your hboot to 2.14 and then downgrade your touchscreen firmware which is super easy and there's a sticky for the process in the Original Android Development section.
After that, you should be able to run all roms without much issue AND you won't have to fastboot flash boot boot.img anymore.
That explains it- I literally have just been going into TWRP, installing the zip file, and then rebooting. I'm not even sure where I would find the boot.img, would that be inside the zip file?
So to S-OFF, should I follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
I'm not sure how to RUU, any chance you or someone might have a link on instructions to do that? (I have an AT&T phone that I use on Straight Talk)
Thanks for your help, and if I'm asking for too much information, I'll keep doing some reasearch. I think the RUU is what kind of puzzles me (I'm clearly pretty green when it comes to rooting, I've only ever done it on this phone, not very successfully!

Yes it's in the zip. You extract it then fastboot flash boot boot.Img right before or after flashing the rom in recovery. Before flashing the rom and boot.img you should wipe cache, dalvik, system and factory reset. And only ever flash roms for the one xl or you risk bricking.

[Q] Please help me get my ATT HTC One X up-to-date.

I bought the phone when it first came out. Play around with unlock bootloader, root and custom roms. I Currently have an older version of CM running on the phone with custom recovery.
I haven't touch the phone for months, and certainly I havent follow the forum for a long time. Recently I wanted to start use this phone again. I would like some help to get this phone up-to-date again.
1. Is there a way to turn this phone to the latest stock configuration? I will follow the forum to unlock, s-off, root again. But I wanted to turn it back to stock completely with latest firmware and all.
2. what are the latest version of radio, kernel, stock rom version and so on? how can I get them?
3. Any instruction would help.
My questions may sound very noob, but I hope someone can point me to the right way.

He told you how to get to stock here. I don't see relocking in there anywhere so why would you relock? You can relock the phone after s-off and ruu. This phone will brick if you have supercid and ruu or update to 3.18 so returning completely stock is difficult to say the least.

Seems thought I got odyssey installed / flashed etc, its so bare as its practically useless to me unless i have google, plus its got weird glitches on boot up, taking forever, always booting into the developers screen etc.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Do you know of any such roms that don't require the s-off?

With Odyssey you have to flash slim gapps after you install the rom.
Your Sd card (partition) may be corrupted, the way to fix that is to put the stock recovery back on your phone then go to bootloader and "clear storage"
All of the other Roms don't require S-off, MagioRom is being actively developed with the sense 5 and 4.2.2.

If you aren't on the supported firmware it won't work. So, if that doesn't work for you then I would just leave it S-on. It isn't hard to fastboot flash a boot.img before flashing a rom in recovery.

No, it is hard enough to get it to work on the supported firmware. (I would love to be proven wrong, for the handful of people that need this)

Maximus HD --- No you need S-off for this. The firmware updates your Hboot, Radio, and you flash a different recovery and finally Rom
You might check out other Rom's that have Sense 5 4.2.2 features. They do not require S-off like Maximus does.

I was able to load Maximus HD ROM with S-On but only issue I had was wireless.

Please tell me how did you manage to install MaximusHD ROM without S-off!
I'm a little scared since I read they have a lot of problems while installing this ROM.
I'm using CM10.1 right now, but I would like to have sense 5 on my HTC One S.
I have unlocked boot loader and TWRP recovery.
I read there are other ROMS with sense 5 like MagioRom, which doesn't require S-Off (As far as I know)
Is there a great difference between MagioRom and MaxiumusHD? All I want is Sense 5 on my phone without all the terrible of S-offing!!

I tried Maximus with CWM, did i using sideload and them flash the boot.img file. but it was a disaster as my device didn't connect to wifi and had some call drops then I tried flashing twrp and then sideloaded magicrom 4.0 and flas boot.img, it looks lot better now but only issue right now is my phone keeps on rebooting and am still waiting for a stable rom to be released.
I read MagioRom comments and they say with that ROM phone reboots a lot. So I think the only way is with MaximusHD. The WiFi problem I think it can be fixed. I don't know about the call drops, but many have this ROM as daily use so I guess it's ok. I will try S-off with moonshine method, then try install Maximus. Hope my phone survives.
