Hi
Before starting I want you to know that I have been through 5-10 threads regarding the subject problem and still not know what to do. I am basically a layman to Flashing. The most adventurous thing I have done is downgrading a Sony Xperia Arc S from ICS to Gingerbread using a simple sofware sort of thing called "flashtool" and downloading ......... (i am leaving it blank cuz at the moment I am quite confused. Lets call it its original firmware)
And before I can explain the problem I am confused between the following terms: RECOVERY, ROM, KERNEL and RUU. Kernel i know is a software layer between H/w and OS. But then why we need to flash it seperately???? it should be a part of OS: which i think is called a ROM. RUU is the update to a recovery. but what exactly is the difference between ROM and RECOVERY. both seem to be like some sort of an image file that contains complete OS. Then there are bloody BOOTs that you have to unlock and keep lock at some times. God knows why
Now coming to the problem:
My HTC One X (bought here in Pakistan and should be containing the international firmware, i dont know for sure)
One fine morning a few days ago my phone showed up the update HTC released recently which changes the appearance of the GUI. I was quite happy to see it and immediately selected the option to install the update. The update ran and installed successfully. I used the new GUI for 2 days or so and then suddenly my phone got stoned (or brick or stuck). It turned off when i tried to use it and then started showing
*** LOCKED ***

So I am screwed really badly. The USB debugging mode that i know is essential to install a firmware is not enabled. and my device is not rooted. The device is not charging up properly.
I have downloaded Hansoon all in one toolkit (which seems to be of no use since debugging mode is not enabled). I have android SKD downloaded in my pc. so is HTC Sync. But dont have any idea where to begin.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I WANT TO SAVE THE DATA INSIDE THE PHONE THAT I CANT ACCESS.
..... i am trying to root the device using hansoon. but for that i need to generate some sort of a code. Now my device is showing up one option named barcode where i can see MB SN and IMEI of the device. is it possible to generate that code using these three???
I think I have posted it in the wrong forum. mods please delete it. I am starting a new thread in the right forum
Your phone is HTC one X Endeavour ......this forum for HTC one X Evita.....please check HTC one X forum ....we can't really help u that much ... BTW u go to www.htcdev.com to generate unlock_code.bin and follow instruction from there coz right now your bootloader show ****security warning****

I am in China and I bought an HTC s510e last week, that was made in Taiwan.
When I look at the boot menu screen, is says my phone is locked, although when I put a SIM card from another country in there it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. Perhaps the phone is locked to China?
Now my main problem is that there is constantly all kinds of Chinese software being installed on my phone without my knowing, and there seems to be no way of uninstalling most of it, and what I can uninstall, gets installed again soon after.
I am thinking the solution might be debranding the phone, or rooting the phone.
However, I can't figure out which ROM to put on there that won't brick the phone and that will still allow me to read and write Chinese (using pinyin). The menus should be in English of course.
Some information on the phone:

I kind of know next to nothing about the subject, would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
i hope any one help you
correction
This is a correction to my previous post
On my boot screen, where is says HBOOT-2.00.002 I should have written HBOOT-2.00.0002, don't know if this makes any difference.
I have tried rooting my phone using SuperOneClick. The phone is rooted, or so it says, but SuperUser can't get any superuser privileges. Unrooting doesn't work, the program freezes.
No BusyBox on the phone yet, tried installing it, but can't because SuperUser doesn't have the necessary privileges.
Installed ROM Manager, flashed a ROM recovery image with it, but that's about all I can do with the RM, doesn't want to back up my ROM, doesn't boot into recovery.
I can boot into recovery manually after shutting down the phone, but once in recovery....I get a red triangle and have to take my battery out and reinsert it to get the phone working again.
I tried unlocking the bootloader through the htcDev center, but I first have to update something on my phone, I chose a couple of possibilities in their list provided but nothing worked, couldn't update. (By the way, I can't update the ROM on my phone either, for some reason I get an error message. Perhaps because my phone is not set to receive OTA updates?)
As you guys can see....I don't know where to start or what to do, nothing seems to have any effect. Already happy nothing of what I did bricked the thing.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. How to unlock the bootloader? How to root properly?
Thanks in advance.
Okay, here is how I did it.
I ran SuperOneClick a few more times, it got rid of the useless Superuser application, but still said my phone was rooted.
I unlocked my bootloader through the HTCDev website. It asked me to first update my bootloader, I skipped the step since that didn't work. Now my bootloader is unlocked no problem.
In stead of trying to root my phone any further (it said it was rooted but didn't seem to be properly rooted), I downloaded the AndroidSDK, got into my phone with adb shell command.
Tricky part:
-the thing wouldn't let me remove any file, giving me read-only error
-also wouldn't let me change file permissions, same error
-solution: first give a adb root command, which will give you root privileges, then you give a adb remount command which makes all files read and write.
Next you can use adb shell, and from there follow the normal steps to remove files. At the end I left the shell and gave a adb reboot command, rebooting the phone.
I got rid of the most annoying junk on my phone. Wouldn't mind to find a way to have the thing properly rooted, but for now I'm happy with what I got.
By mistake I have tried to update my HTC One X with an EVITA rom, now my Phone is not booting at all.
Tried installing the original RUU_ENDEAVOR exe, but it gives ma a 156/158 error. During the update of the signature (translated).
Secondly when I try to install any rom the fastboot commando is returning "remote: not allowed".
The bootloader is giving me the following information:

I can enter RECOVERY with has ClockWorks installed, when I try to install a custom rom there with sideload it says "remote: not allowed"
Cleared all Cash and cleaned the device, Relocking the bootloader does not help, leaving the phone shutdown for a while, are things I did try my self already.
I am totally stuck and would appreciate any advice you might have !
You'd probably have better luck on the ENDEAVORU forum (this forum is for EVITA).
That error number means you are running the wrong RUU. It must be for your device's carrier version, and hboot of the RUU must be equal or higher than what is on the phone.
Since the phone is turning on and you have bootloader, you can probably recover. But its just the wrong RUU. Also the bootloader must be locked when you RUU.
Thanks, I assume there must be a way to recover, but don't seem to be able to figure it out.
Placed a new thread in the right forum, must say it is confusing as the main screen of the XDA forum only contains one (the wrong one) HTC ONE C section.

Hi Everyone,
knowing it's all out there, just need to read (a lot), please help me finding the correct way to solve my problem. I can not change to other ROM, mostly due to lack of knowledge. Please before you judge and claim I should read and learn, i have kids who don't allow me read things properly, and there are tons of information out there, seems simplier to ask for directions this time, based on the situation of the phone.
This is the first custom rom I tried on my new S4 HTC One S (not brand new, just new to me). It was stock rom, locked. Followed instructions on different threads, I unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP recovery, installed SuperSU, copied Venom Rom zip to SD card and installed from recovery, with the aroma. Success. Before installation I did a backup in TWRP.
I very much like the rom (though have 2 issues: 1. phone reboots randomly without any notification. 2 phone loses carrier randomly, so I see no GSM connection as if SIM was removed. This happens when phone is untouched so no way SIM is loosy or something). When I try to chose carrier manually from settings, it sais no SIM card is installed...
But I would like to try other roms as well, and also wish to compare some stock roms. So I downloaded a generic HTC Europe stock RUU, hoping I can easily flash it. Relocked the phone, ran the RUU.exe with Fastboot USB mode in bootloader, but it all came up with error messages and left me at the HTC logo. All I can do is to re-install Venom 3.0.0 from recovery, that works, otherwise I end up in boot loop.
Also I can not go back to the original state using the backup from TWRP. It installs boots but it basicaly freezes before the phone setup comes. I can see the background image, the clock and the GSM antenna sign, but thats all, nothing else happens, no matter how hard I try to reboot.

When I re-locked the phone it said Tampered + Relocked + Security Warning
As recovery I have TWRP 2.6.0.0 flashed. I did nothing else.
Could someone help me with instructions or at least directions how I could go back to a nice stock RUU? With the one I downloaded i had different error codes 213 (wrong ID) and 255 Unkown error.
I believe as the phone is not S-OFF and/or Super CID, it is relevant which RUU I download. The phone used to boot with a voda logo, so I believe it was one of the UK or AT voda stock roms, but neither works.
Your opinion/feedback is highly appreciated.

To go back to stock u have to flash the right RUU, depends on which CID ur phone got.
u can download it here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
If u downloaded the right RUU, boot ur HOS into fastboot relock the phone and start the RUU.
Let it finish and u r on stock
Hi Homeboy, thanks for the answer. Seems clear. I have only 1 question. How can I make sure which is the right RUU?
I believe I should do a getvar all command, to see the CID id? Then what shall I look at the RUU's filename?
And after the phone having been relocked, shall it be in fatboot USB in bootloader or shall the phone be up and running when I start the RUU.exe from the computer?
thanks

Hi Everyone. i have a modified htc one S and i'm not sure what i did to it in the past tbh. but i think my original mods were kinda sloppy. twrp doesnt seem to work right, among other things. I'm looking to revert the whole thing to stock, so i can begin modding from there. in the end i hoped to install an android 5.0 rom as i intend to give this old phone to a friend. i had downloaded Candy5.
here's some info on my phone currently. can anyone advise me as to how i can revert to stock? it's a Bell locked phone, by the way (Canada)

edit:
a couple things i discovered trying to get 5.0 roms installed via TWRP, as well as stock OTA updates
-cannot interact with onboard storage in TWRP. therefore, when i move files to the device in windows, they cant be used to flash the new ROM within TWRP. (though the "backup" section seems to read proper file sizes within the data section so it seems it does see it...)
- When flashing the zip via USB OTG & flash drive, i get the errors shown in the screenshots.
-i cant use fastboot commands from the bootloader, as it is not recognized because windows tells me the device malfunctioned, and device manager says "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."....this happens regardless of driver, whether it be the HTC driver, standard android driver or no driver at all.
edit #2: found a registry fix for windows 8.1 and htc devices which allowed fastboot use, opening up the ability to unlock the bootloader and then flash items again. problem solved. sorry for the wasted soace
Problem solved so thread closed at OP's request.
Hello everybody,
I can't update my phone HTC One A9 to nougat using RUU_HIA_AERO_WHL_N70_SENSE80GP_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_2.18.651.2.exe, an error 10 occurs when updating. After contacting HTC Support, they tell me that my phone have three changes on three parts (the bootloader status (formerly UNLOCKED, now RELOCKED), (2) the security status (S-OFF) and (3) the Recovery tool (TWRP). Since all three have been changed i must proceed restoring the stock features step by step. The first thing they recommend is to restore the Android Recovery tool to the stock recovery.
For the bootloader is OK , it is now relocked, but i cant restore the recovery.
I need your help, my phone is not stable at all.
thanks in advace.

The first post made me lol, HTC CS as bad as usual, they don't know their own product.
Re-locking the bootloader wasn't necessary
Flashing back the stock recovery neither
You are getting error 132 because you are trying to flash a Nougat ruu (2.x.xxx.x) but your phone still runing the Marshmallow firmware (1.x.xxx.x). Normally this is not a problem to update HTC phones using a RUU but this particular model of HTC is problematic because they changed signature key between version 1.x and 2.x which mean even if you are trying to flash the right RUU version for your phone, you'll get a signature error if flashing from marshmallow to nougat.
This is easily fixable, manually update your firmware to Nougat (so your phone will have the new key) using fastboot then flash the Nougat RUU
