after flashing the latest cleanrom, my htc one x will not boot to anything. when i hold down power and volume down, the bottom buttons flash a few times an the htc splash screen come up and then nothing. i had root and custom recovery. Is there any way to get back to recovery?
Are you s-on? If so did you flash the boot.img via fastboot afterwards? If you can't get to the bootloader it's most likely a matter of bad timing with the button combo. Hold volume down, then power, wait for the screen to go blank, after a couple seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down.

You should be able to get into bootloader. As timmaaa mentioned, failure to get into bootloader is almost always the user performing the button combo incorrectly. Since in nearly all cases, damage to hboot would brick the device (the screen and charge light would not be coming on at all).
After the capacitive buttons flash, and the screen goes dark, be sure to let go of the power button, but keep holding down the vol down rocker) until the white hboot screen comes up.
Failure to boot into the OS after flashing a ROM is most often due to you not manually flashing the boot.img via fastboot (again, as timmaaa already mentioned). This is required if you are s-on and hboot 1.14 or higher (you haven't given those details).

okay guys so surprisingly i havent seen anything on here about the button combo to get into bootloader on your one x (or recovery)
i think its just volume down and power ? but a lot of the time it just boots up like normal.
anything specific i can do to get it to work better?
also once i re lock my bootloader, there is no way for me to get the phone to boot up normally, like no matter what i do it just reboots into the bootloader what should i do?
(basically im trying to get from clean rom on 1.82.5 base , back to offical stock 1.73.5)

You have to hold vol down the entire time until it gets to the bootloader. Also, turn fastboot off.
Or you can always "adb reboot recovery" if you're at a computer

I've found that if you lock the bootloader while on a rom that uses an insecure boot.img like cleanrom does you'll see "security warning" on the bootloader screen and the phone won't boot to anything except the bootloader. It's ok though because you can install the ruu from there.

how do you disable fastboot? (or you mean while the phone is running normally in settings?)
i tried running the ruu from the bootloader and it wouldnt work though
is there a different rom i could flash, then be able to lock and flash back to stock 1.7?

from the bootloader screen choose fastboot and you should be able to install the RUU
This method of getting into the bootloader always works for me.
It involves counting so read it through first as you need to act quickly:
Hold down the power button untill you see the capacitive buttons start flashing.
After a few seconds they will stop flashing.
Hold the volume down button immediately.
Then hold the power button for around 3 seconds and release it, while still holding the volume up button.
Hold it until you boot into the bootloader screen.

ill have to give this a shot, at what point do you start holding the volume up button?
i rooted and bootload unlocked on 2.20 flashed boot.img via fastboot and then flashed cm10. everything work fine. then i decided to flash codename. first thing i did was flash codename boot.img before i did anything and thats where i messed up. cant get into fastboot with power and volume up+down it just goes to htc screen with red warning sign. and when i try to boot up phone it gets to home screen and keeps forclosing not allowing me to do anything....
it sounds like you lost recovery, keep trying to get into bootloader then flash twrp again.

wont let me get into bootloader. the power and volumes just keeps booting the phone up and stuck on infinite forclosing
happend to me a few minutes ago it was nasty try to shut down the phone and then
before it loops quickly power+volume down and after the one xl buttons stop flashing hold the
volume down and keep holding it until bootloader shows up
press and hold power button until capacitive buttons flash 6 times. then hold volume down. phone will boot into bootloader. carry on from there.
The problem is you weren't holding the right keys to get into bootloader.... and everything is fc'ing because your running codenames kernel on cm10.

thanks. but wow im an idiot. im so use to samsung phones i was holding volume up and down
This always does the trick for me Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down

To get into bootloader hold vol- while holding the power button. Don't let go until it reboots. It will now be in bootloader

You need to let go of power, but keep holding vol down. If you don't let go of power, nothing will happen (except the phone shutting off).
The most surefire way (works in just about any situation) is to hold power and volume down. Don't let go of volume down until I say so later. The capacitive buttons will flash after about 5 seconds. Then the buttons will stop flashing, the screen will turn off (if it was on). After that, release the power button, but keep holding volume down until the white bootloader screen shows up.
If the screen turns on at all, the phone will always be able to go to bootloader. Failure to get into bootloader is almost always a matter of the user not performing the button sequence properly, rather than an issue with the phone.
Ok.. I'm about to lose hope, please any creative ideas will be much appreciated..
I think i did a big mistake trying to update to the latest nightly release of CM 10.2 using the auto-update feature of cm 10.1...
The end result is a bootloop, gets up to the CM rotating animation for a few seconds and reboots.
on top of that:
unable to get into bootloader using pwr+vol up nor vol down
unable to access device using adb nor fastboot - shows no device connected
the PC does not recognize the device though there are drivers installed, the charging LED lights up but no PC activity
all of the solutions i've seen assume either the recover/bootloader is available or the phone is accessed via fastboot/adb.
in this case neither are correct....
for some time i wanted to upgrade to htc one but not yet....
please help
Press and hold power until the phone shuts off.
Then let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

tried it again several time, but as I said it doesn't work.
I get a black screen (not the CM animation) and than reboot all over again.
You could try letting it drain completely. Then charge a bit and try again.
Is your phone plugged in while your trying? My phone will not enter bootloader while its plugged in.

You are mostly likely not performing the button combo correctly. If there were no bootloader (hboot), the screen would not be coming on at all. Not getting into bootloader is almost always a case of not doing the button combo correctly. The one possible exception, is if your volume rocker has failed (and simply not registering the vol down being pressed).
Make sure you hold vol down, and do not let go until the while bootloader screen comes up.
Recovery is a different story, as you can indeed not have recovery installed, and the phone will still function. But hboot and recovery are 2 different things.

I wish it was the case,
when i try to go into hboot the device instead of going into another boot until animation cycle, goes into black screen boot cycle. which means most likely that the action (PWR+Vol) does have an effect otherwise it would have continued to go into same boot cycle through the CM animation..
besides there is a recovery installed, or at least was...
is there anyway to re-install the hboot part without the hboot/fastboot availability?

Hi - I just flashed ViperXL via TWRP (2.5, IIRC), but haven't flashed boot.img yet. Phone is now rebooting to the dev screen, then the One logo screen, then black again. I can't get to the bootloader or to TWRP. I've tried the volume-down button during boot to no avail. I've got ADB at the ready if needed...
S-On, hboot 1.14. I've done this many times before w/o issue.
Any ideas?
While the phone is rebooting just keep holding volume down. If it isn't working it's a case of bad timing. You need to flash the boot.img, why didn't you? Also, you should upgrade to TWRP 2.6 because 2.5 is full of bugs.

I agree with timmaaa, failure to get into hboot if the screen comes on, is almost always a matter of not performing the button sequence correctly.
The most common errors while dooing this:
1) Letting go of the vol down rocker too early
2) If you press the vol down rocker after the white "HTC One X" boot splash screen is already up, its too late. You have to do it before the boot splash appears.
The most foolproof way to do it, is hold both vol down and power at the same time. Hold them for several seconds while the screen is on, and the capacitive buttons should flash a few times, then the screen should go black as the phone restarts. Let go of the power button ONLY, and DO NOT let go of the vol down rocker until the bootloader screen appears.
EDIT. Thanks (sarcastically) for solving your issue on another thread here, and then not updating us here. (cross posting is against the rules for a reason). I wasted my time trying to help, when you already solved it.
