I have the htc one x with Rogers, version 3.17.631.2... the RUU isn't available for this version.
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
s-on
Currently I have no OS installed, I have been searching through forums on this website for about 6 hours last night with no solution. Can someone please help. Thanks
I also have the token ID saved on my computer.
What I tried was:
installing the stock rogers PJ83IMG.zip from here
but since my version is 3.17.631.2 it wouldn't let me downgrade to the 1.73.631.1 version
Any suggestions?
Why are you trying to ruu. In order to ruu downgrade you will need to be s-off.
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
is there any way to be s-off with no OS installed?
1. How did you even delete the OS?
2. Do you have a custom recovery?

I was installing a custom rom, and erased the OS by accident in TRWP, and I can flash a custom recovery on my phone. What would i do after that though?
Also go to the cleanROM thread and use their boot.img to get things at least booting up
You don't need soff to flash img files via fastboot

alright im giving it a try atm!
Why not just flash a ROM? You already have a custom recovery on your phone, that's what TWRP is. Should you really be messing with your phone in the first place though? It doesn't seem like you have the faintest idea of what you're doing if you can't even recover from deleting your OS.

I tend to agree. There has also seems to be an increase of this occurrence in the last several months of "I wiped the OS accidentally and I don't know how to recover". Which is a bit troubling since the default wipe in TWRP is factory reset, Dalvik, and cache. The Wipe screen on TWRP explicitly states that this is all the is usually needed. If you wipe /system, you did so deliberately by going into the Advanced screen and picking it from there. Meaning the OP took extra steps to do something without knowing if it was necessary, and without knowing how to recover from it.
This also means the OP didn't create a nandroid backup in TWRP, which would have been a simple way to recover. This is basic, fundamental step that should be taken whenever modding a phone, but something n00bs seem to be "skipping" (or ignorant of) lately.
This type of behavior/mindset while modding does not bode well for the life of your phone.
actually the TWRP recovery i had on my phone was really outdated. i didnt have the advanced option. I simply had to pick from a list and i wiped it all without warning.
I've learned what i have done wrong, and thank you guys for it.
I currently have cleanROM flashed on my phone, but its really buggy.. it even turns off randomly and if i ever lose reception I will have to restart my phone to gain reception again. Not sure why this is happening? What do you guys suggest I do?
You need to search properly before posting. It's XDA rules. The reboots and signal loss problems have been discussed countless times in the Cleanrom thread. Read a few of the last pages and you're guaranteed to find the solution.

That's a pretty lame excuse. My previous general notion still holds: You took deliberate steps to wipe the OS (/system) as that option is still not selected as default even on older versions of TWRP. And you were therefore wiping things willy-nilly without understanding what they were, whether they really needed to be wiped, or how to recover from them.
And you still should have made a nandroid (TWRP backup).
All in all, it implies a careless mindset while modding your phone (skipping steps and doing things without understanding).
I have searched the forum: [ROM][9/11] - CleanROM 7.0.P1 -★| Android 4.2.2! | Sense 5! | Lite! | Stable! |★-
and found that if i install hboot 2.15 on my phone it should stop rebooting and the reception would go back to normal right?
is there anything else I have to do.
please, if it isn't too much trouble link me to a guide that fixes these issue for the HTC One X (Rogers)
or just give me a few steps of how to fix these issue.
Thank you so much!
PS my battery life improved so much, i usually charged my phone twice a day, and I haven't charged my phone at since 7am today.
Yes. Flash the 2.15 firmware. It's in the first post of Turge's stock Sense 5 ROM thread in the development section.

Step 1: SuperCID 11111111
Step 2: S-Off using beaups guide
Step 3: Flash the 2.15 firmware
Can someone link me to the best guide to follow for step 1?
You can do it two ways, here's the first:
Step 1: SuperCID with hex edit method.
Step 2: S-off with Facepalm S-off.
Step 3: Flash firmware.
Or the other way:
Step 1: S-off with Rumrunner S-off.
Step 2: SuperCID with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Step 3: Flash firmware.
I believe the second method is easier. The Rumrunner s-off process seems much easier, it doesn't require you to have SuperCID first to work. Once s-off is achieved you can easily change your CID by fastboot command as opposed to messing around with hex editing.

First: Thanks to this great forum of developers and users, I have learned a lot in a short period of time. The HTC One S is my first Android handset, and I love it. All the wonderful tutorials and threads you guys created made learning the basics of rooting/flashing easy.
This is my second HTC One S handset, the previous one died from hardware failure. The previous handset had HBoot 1.06, and so I was able to flash the TWRP recovery and use the Trickdroid 9.1.0 flawlessly. The problem comes with this new handset, and I am not sure exactly what it is to troubleshoot. The current HBoot on the phone is 1.14 (which means I can't flash radios, etc.). After unlocking the bootloader, I flashed the latest TWRP recovery (2.4.1.0). After factory resetting the phone and installing the Trickdroid 9.1.0, the phone won't boot. If I hold the power for 5-10 seconds, the keys flash, that's it. I am able to get into the bootloader using the power + volume down method, and then I have to recover my phone back to factory settings using the RUU avaliable online. I have tried redoing this process 2-3 times now, and everytime I flash the JB rom, the phone won't boot. I am not sure if having a HBoot 1.14 prevents me from upgrading from ICS --> JB, recovery, or anything else. As I said, my knowledge of Android is very limited as I am a new user. I really would like to use the JB rom that is cleaned and optimized. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do, I would greatly appreciate it. Right now, I just did the perm root to be able to get rid of some of the bloat (T-Mobile comes with so much garbage!). Thank you so much, once again, and any troubleshooting help will be returned with big kiss! :angel:

That seemed to be the problem this whole time! Argh! Thanks! In the previous phone, I always flashed it after rebooting via FlashGUI. I guess the only looming problem now is that the Wifi doesn't work on this Trickdroid ROM for my HBoot (1.14). Blah.

Yes, that is right. I think any HBoot higher than 1.09 (I am 1.14) will not be able to flash WiFi partitions. Any way we can make WiFi work on JB? Would upgrading the HBoot to 2.x fix this Wifi problem? I still don't know why it doesn't work though and not having Wifi is kind of a big deal.
I've spent hours searching for how to S-Off my device. I've been running CM 9 and then 10, but it seems like my problem with 10.1 is S-on.
Most searches come to someone recommending Hasoon2000s S-Off tool, and linking to the original thread at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696373&highlight=s+off
The problem is that the link in that original thread to download the S-Off Tool is no longer there. I've looked through Hasoon2000s other downloads, and while there is the all-in-one toolkit 2.0, there doesn't seem to be a way to do S-Off in that kit.
I'll probably settle for JuopunutBear's solution, but since everywhere I go people are swearing by Hasoon2000s, (and I used the all-in-one toolkit with great success), does anyone have any new direction to track down a downloadable version of the S-Off tool, or a way to access it, or is JuopunutBear's all that is left for some reason? I haven't found any posts saying why Hasoon2000's has been pulled?
Thanks!
If I were you I would stay away from toolkits altogether. Not because they are bad, only because you learn absolutely nothing from using them and usually come bomb the threads when **** hits the fan.
The wire trick is a fun little task to handle though so everything should be okay that way.

Thanks for your help I appreciate it- That was the same place linked to above.
Thats his toolkit 2.0 which I used to unlock my phone, but it doesn't give the phone S-Off (or atleast I couldnt find a way to do it in the toolkit)
His S-Off toolkit can't be found anymore on the otherhand, and I've searched in depth. I've been trying for at least 6-8 hours to get S-Off. Now I have a semi-bricked phone. Every path I go down is a dead end and its driving me nuts!
I was going to try the wire trick, but it requires stock rom. I had backed up the stock rom but it won't load. I downloaded 2 PD15IMG.zip files but neither of them will load, recovery says "Bad" when I try to run the .zip files. Did a little research. I think I need to do it via fastboot for the PD15IMG.zip files. Trying to figure that out now. Warnings seem pretty dire about trying to do it on a non-stock rom
This is getting above my head but I'm working my best to figure it out. Worst comes to worse I'll just have to order a new phone! I hate to be the novice that ends up being a PITA, as I've dealt with them plenty on the car forums I'm active on. I'd like to apologize up front for being "that guy".

I was able to reflash a version of CM10 I was using for a while and that works, but I can't find a stock one that will work. I've tried multiple, and they all give me "bad" error and don't finish the install.
I was going to try a different version of CM10, 10.1, or go to a stable release of 9. If none of those worked, I'd be happier with stock. None of the ones I've tried will work, but I'm assuming thats because I'm S-On, but since I can't find hasoon2000s S-Off tool everyone was raving about, and the wire trick requires stock ROM based on what the directions say, I find myself in a pickle.
The CM10 version I have can't do some basic things I need for work- like sync with my bluetooth in the car or not randomly freeze up during the day without me knowing it sending all my calls to voicemail. I tried versions of the others that other people are using (like silverL's 10.1 and the CM-listed stable CM9) and neither would load.
Do I have a different issue? AKA are other people with S-On able to load those Roms? I can try miktouch too.

Also trying to load via fastboot and I'm getting this error:
"Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry_failed
error: failed to access zipdata in [Whole bunch of non-english characters taking up a few lines]"
----
Update: Just to clarify, when I try to install a stock rom it gives me "Can't open [filename] (bad)
However, when I try to install the CM's, it installs fine and says "Install from sdcard complete" they just won't load when I restart my phone, except for the original version of CM10. (for example, in all the 10.1s I've tried I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" but the intro page will load. I figured that came down to an S-On issue when I tried to troubleshoot.
Any rom that is based off stock (like miktouch) should work to do the wire trick. I would check md5sums of the roms that won't flash to make sure they aren't corrupt at all. Also some say the latest twrp (and maybe other recoveries) won't flash some roms, so may need to change that as well

negative.
miktouch would go through the install process, and end at the Tmobile mytouch 4g slide screen forever. I know on one install it took a long time to "load" the first time so I left it on this screen for about 15 minutes to no avail. Let me know if there is any chance of it taking longer than that. Reinstalls were the same story.
I got CM9.1 to install by installing it twice on top of itself (not sure why that fixes it) but it was a tiny bit buggy.
Is there any chance this could be bootloader related or recovery related? I can try to reload those too. grrr...
Its possible but if your bootloader can boot up one ROM it should be able to boot another. For this phone the only reason I have seen to change bootloaders is to unlock all the fastboot options. Flashing a new bootloader would reformat your partitions which may be the cause of your issue. Make sure you do a full wipe from recovery or fastboot -w or use a superwipe script, hell I tend to do all three between flashes but I'm kinda ocd when it comes to this, I hate debugging issues caused by residual effect from old data left after a dirty flash
But it may be worth it to flash a new recovery, not sure what you are using now but sometimes one will work when another doesn't, this would probably be my next step

You should try CWM 5.0.2.7. Also, since you are S-On you should extract the boot.img from Miktouch and flash it from fastboot, separately from the ROM. Since you have been on an ICS/Jellybean rom, I have to believe your original boot.img was replaced at some point. This is the only way to get back the Gingerbread boot.img. I am not savvy enough to know if this file is the bootloader or the kernel, but this process should get you back to stock-enough to do the wire trick.
Sent from my SGH-T699 using xda app-developers app
It's the kernel.....the boot.img file, I mean. The bootloader is that mostly white screen you see with "Hboot" at the top that will have "S-On" or "S-Off" after the word Radio. Good response.:good:

Load the pd15img.zip on your sd card and boot to your bootloader. It should detect the file on your card and ask if you want to flash it. Just follow the directiins it gives you

Hello, I'm a bit new here so pardon me if this is in the wrong place.
About three weeks ago I've acquired a Glacier to replace an old Sidekick 4G. I've been trying to install custom ROMs for a while now, but they've all ended in failure. I've gone through several upon several post from various sites, most of them here in XDA. Ive done everything I've seen to get this phone a custom ROM. I've made a goldcard to downgrade which failed, I've installed CWM version 5.something, I've got permaroot on my device and I've unlocked the bootloader through HTCdevs' site. I cannot get a custom ROM to install without the package being signed, and even if I install a signed ROM, my device bricks and refuses to load past initial bootscreen. I've even left my device on entire night after flashing a signed ROM to see if it would load past the bootscreen, but it won't. I'm also still a bit new to the custom tom community as a whole, as the o ly device I've had experience customizing and flashing was the SK4G.
Can anyone here please help me? I've gone through almost every single thread on XDA regarding this phone and achieving S=Off, but nothing has worked. I honestly don't even know how I managed permaroot on here since it seems to.be difficult to do from what I've read.

I think if you unlocked your bootloader (s-off) with HTC dev you have to flash the boot.img separately. The boot.img
Is the kernel. Don't worry bro I'm a noob too can I still remember how frustrated I was while rooting. Expecially cause I have the bad emmc and I have the Canadian version of the mytouch which you have to root a different way
What rom do you want? If you open the open there will be the boot.img and extract it and flash it separately

HI There,
I too had a few hiccups when trying to load custom Roms. I also tried to use the Unlocker through HTC, and it didn't work. It says it unlocks the BOOTLOADER, but I still had S-ON. The only way I could permanently root the Glacier with S-OFF was to downgrade to 2.2 then root.
When you go into Bootloader, does it show you have S-OFF?

I was looking at this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629 , it was the first I've tried. My bootloader is still S=On, but the bootloader itself is unlocked. I dunno if that makes any sense, I'm just reading what I see on my bootloader screen.
Anyway, after flashing the boot.img for the rom I wanted, my phone fully booted up and is now working. Thank you very much for you help.

I don't believe so. You would still need S-OFF to flash that custom ROM anyhow.
This was the only video I found that was helpful. A lot of people complain about visionary bricking devices so I guess that's the inherent risk here, but I am still going strong. You must be on 2.2 to use the /gfree method as described in the video. Also, you will have to scour the web for the visionary APK and gfree files. I can't remember where I got them.
Downgrade using the first link, then root using the second. Do a factory reset and follow the steps to downgrade on unlockr EXACTLY and you will be fine. I know it's two different guides, but I had to piece these steps together pulling bits from each to get it to work. Be careful though, as always you take responsibility if you damage your phone using any method to root.
If you run into a misc_version permission denied error during this step, it's because you pushed the whole MISC folder and need to use:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

After that, read the GUIDE TO PERMANENT ROOT S-OFF here on XDA and piece together what you are missing.

My bootloader still says S=On, but I just got finished flashing CM7 onto my device. So I think I'm pretty much done with this thread. Thank you for all of your help.
My only other concern would be if it's possible for me to restore the /data portion of my stock rom NANDroid backup to get all of my app data back. Would that work, or would the device brick because they're two diffrent OS's?
Thats HTC Dev for you. You gotta flash the kernel after the ROM. If you have S-ON, but flashed a rom and got it to work, then you basically have S-Off, otherwise you couldn't have flashed a rom. Good luck in flashing other roms in the future bro.

Use titanium backup to extract the app data from the backup you made. Don't restore the data partition.
By the way, S-Off is far superior to HTC Dev unlock. You'll figure that out sooner or later.

Yeah, I realize know that S=off is better. Like I said, I'm new to the whole ROM community thing so I thought an HTCDev unlock WAS S=off.
Anyway, thank you all for your help. Much appreciated.

Stuck...just displays the HTC logo on white screen.
I had cleanrom 5.0 final. TWRP, super SU, rooted, unlocked. Firmware 2.20.
I dropped in the new ROM, did a factory reset in TWRP, and installed new rom. I read that that would work with my current setup, but apparently not. I am unclear on the part where it says "Highly recommend latest Jellybean firmware and S-Off!" Not sure how to determine this or proceed. Things here seem to be getting increasingly more jargoned rather than step by step for those of us that do this once a year or so :/
I flashed back to 5.0 with no issues, but I would really like to try to get the cleanrom 7 working if possible. Any ideas?
It sounds like you're s-on, if so you'd need to flash the boot.img via fastboot. Is this the first ROM you've flashed? Please post your bootloader details.

Thanks for your reply. You are correct, I am s-on. But I was able to re-load CleanROM 5. This is my second custom rom on this phone (the first being CleanROM 5). But this is only my third custom rom ever, so I am pretty much of a noober. :cyclops:

The ROM threads are to inform you of the features and requirements of the ROM, not to be a step-by-step guide. There are plenty of step-by-step guides in various places, for those that care to read and look.
If you don't flash often, a good resource is my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
My Index will at least point you to the s-off process. I intend to add some info about the 2.15 firmware (as people keep constantly asking about it), but work has been chaotic, to say the least.
Another good thing to do, is read through the more recent pages of the ROM thread, or do a search on the thread.
Thanks, I am subscribed to your index, that's where I found the ROM and what I used during my first flash.
I did the process for unlocking the 2.20 firmware about a year ago as that is what my phone came with. I assume that would have given me superCID and s-off in order to install my old ROM (CleanROM 5).
'CID Getter' says I have no CID, which I read means I have superCID.
Firmware : 2.20
SuperSU installed and functioning (I have root)
Current ROM: CleanROM 5 Final
S-ON
TWRP 2.3.1.0
So you think I need to do s-off as described here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
If I brick this phone I am using a clam-shell for a year until contract renewal :/

You shouldn't be assuming anything. You just said the CID Getter says S-on. You can also confirm s-on or s-off by going into bootloader.
The main reason CleanROM7 will not boot, is that you forgot to extract boot.img from the ROM file, and flash it separately using fastboot. Some older versions of CleanROM didn't require this (boot.img was flashed in the AROMA installer), so that may be why you don't remember doing this.
S-off removed the requirement to flash boot.img separately (will flash in recovery automatically when you flash the ROM). It will also allow you to install hboot 2.15 and associated firmware, if you happen to suffer from signal drops or random reboots while on Sense 5 ROMs.
Further to that, CID Getter doesn't show your actual CID. The proper way to display your CID is by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem readcid". Like Redpoint said, you shouldn't be assuming anything.

Well...its pretty much dead. I verified supercid and then I flashed the bootloader and now it is just in a slow bootloop. It shows the HTC developer splash screen and then shuts down then a few minutes later does it again and so on. Looks like I am clamshell bound.
What did you flash?

Muahahaaha, WORKING! Had to hold down volume through 5 reboot cycles and it finally picked up bootloader. set S-OFF. Tried CleanROM every which way and flashed boo.img as well, never could get it to make it past google boot animation. Installed ViperXL and boot.img without issue. Jelly Bean 4.2.2 sweetness! I lost hope there for about an hour, glad I didn't launch phone into the woods.

Do you mean "locked the bootloader" instead of "flashed"?
If you locked the bootloader, this is what is supposed to happen. Locking the bootloader assumes you will be running RUU, and renders the phone unable to boot normally.
I know you got it back up and running. But for future reference, this phone is almost never bricked, as long as the screen comes on.

Flashing boot.img manually is not necessary with s-off, it should happan automatically when you flash a ROM. I suspect you may be having trouble with CleanROM due to a buggy or outdated TWRP version. What version of TWRP are you using?
It also seems that you are pretty unclear about some of the basic concepts around flashing ROMs on this phone. It would probably benefit you to read and learn a bit more before something bad actually happens due to negligence.
I'm not sure what CID Getter is actually reading, but when I used it it came up with the incorrect CID, can't remember exactly what it was now but it was definitely incorrect because I already had SuperCID.

I am using 2.3.1 TWRP. In the viperXL thread they said I may have to flash the boot.img if I had hboot 1.14 which I do. As far as read and learning, I do this once a year I am not a ROM junkie.

If you have s-off you don't need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, that's only required if you're s-on. It might be worthwhile updating your TWRP to the 2.6 version though.
What Redpoint was saying is that you need to have a firm understanding of what you're doing when it comes to modifying your phone. If you only do it once a year that's cool, but that probably means that once a year you need to brush up before making any changes to your device. Rushing in without the required knowledge is how bricks occur. This is only being suggested to help you, for your own good.

Only with hboot 1.14 or later and s-on. If s-off the protection which prevents boot.img from being written in recovery is bypassed.
I believe TWRP 2.3.1 was a pretty trustworthy version (although older). So not sure why CleanROM didn't flash. Might not be a bad idea to update to 2.6.0 (although the latest 2.6.4 seems to have some bugs).

Yeah, I understand that you only do this on a seldom basis. And its a lot of esoteric knowledge to have to relearn (or take in, since things have likely changed since lasts time). However, that doesn't change the fact that not fully understanding all the concepts and steps can have dire consequences for your phone.
So my AT&T HTC One X is bootloader unlocked, super CID and was rooted. I installed a copy of Viper XL 4.2.0 that had issues with the radio turning off so I thought I'd try Maximus HD. I flashed the boot.img and went to install the rom only to find that the rom was for the international version of the HTC One X only (this was conveniently overlooked in the thread). I backed out of installation, went to restore with my TWRP backup and it had been deleted. I reinstalled the Viper XL rom and my phone booted up to the HTC developers screen (red text) and went black. This now happens every time I try to boot the phone up.
I have access to fastboot and clockwork recovery. I can't get ADB to work as I don't have access to enable USB debugging. I have flashed a few roms since with their respective boot.img to no avail. The phone still just boots to the HTC screen and blacks out.
I don't have S-off and, from my research, I can't get it without ADB so I can't RUU and return to stock without bricking (apparently). I've been at this for about a month and this soft brick is starting to look a whole lot like a hard brick.
Any suggestions, or am I out of business?
Thanks in advance!

Not sure if I can help you much but I did notice an important clue by what you said. It looks like you flashed the boot.img before flashing the Rom. This is backwards. You are supposed to flash the Rom first and then the boot.img. If you are not S-Off this will indeed cause problems. If you are still able and have the files on the phone, try flashing in that order and see if that clears it up. Oh and P.S. I'm sure you already are kicking yourself but yes, stick to Roms made for our phone in this forum.
Just noticed something else:
you said you had access to fastboot? Connect the phone and open a CMD prompt, navigate to your ADB/Fastboot folder (Where ever you keep your adb/fastboot tools) and then type "fastboot devices" to see if your computer is talking to your phone. If it is, you said you can flash Viper. you will just need to unzip the Viper zip and get the boot.img. Put that file in your ADB/Fastboot folder. open a CMD prompt again and navigate once again to you ADB/Fastboot folder, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should get you back on the road.
This is assuming you have a folder with the required ADB/Fastboot resources (if you don't I recommend you learn how) and knowledge on how to navigate to that folder with DOS commands.

You said you flashed the boot.img from Maximus before flashing the ROM (which is ok, the previous member is incorrect in saying that it must be afterwards, it can be either), but did you flash the boot.img from the Viper XL ROM when you flashed that? If not your phone is trying to boot Viper while the Maximus boot.img is still installed, obviously this won't work.
One thing. The fact that Maximus ROM is only for the Endeavoru wasn't "conveniently overlooked" as you sarcastically put it. You were in the wrong forum. The ROM itself is in the Endeavoru forum and you have the Evita so you shouldn't be in the Endeavoru forum in the first place. The ROM is in the correct forum, it doesn't need to be labelled "Endeavoru only" because the user should be aware of which device they have and be aware of which forum they are in. The fact that you're bouncing around both forums is a bit of a worry. You have no reason to be in that forum.

Stay within our device forum, you don't ever need to be anywhere else. You're pretty lucky you haven't actually bricked your phone by flashing that ROM. By the way, there's no such thing as a soft brick. A brick is when your phone will not power on at all. It's either bricked or it isn't.

Thanks for the reply. I believe the reason I'm not bricked is because I backed out of the installation of Maximus HD during the setup screen progression. The actual ROM was never flashed. However, I have flashed the boot.img and ROMs for Viper, Xylon, and Cyanogenmod with no success. The result is the same every time (HTC screen, then black). I extract the boot.img from each of the roms, flash it, and then flash the ROM. The ROM I flash is a copy of the the original with the boot.img still inside. Perhaps I should be removing the boot.img if I am going to flash it separately in fastboot? And I realize that the threads are specific for certain phones now. It's all kind of a mess to get into at first.
I understanding that it can be a bit confusing at first, especially with the phones betting similarly named. But you know now so you shouldn't have this problem again. I believe you will probably need to run an RUU to get out of this mess, but I'll need to see your bootloader details first, just the first five lines.

Thanks for the reply! I will get the bootloader info ASAP bit don't I need to be s-of in order to RUU? from what I've read, if you don't have unlocked bootloader, root access, and s-off, you'll end up bricking your phone with RUU. I'd really like to do it but I have tried to get s-off to no avail.
No, that isn't normal at all, there's definitely something screwy there. I think you're gonna need to run an RUU, so you'll need to get s-off. Try this:

Definitely not normal. A few recommendations:
1. Back up all your stuff, wipe everything except the SD card, Flash a fresh copy of the Rom, Flash the boot.img (you really should consider S-Off), Wipe the cache and DALVIK cache one more time, boot up the system.
2. Same as above except choose another Rom. There are plenty to choose from. The 4.4 Roms are getting a lot better now that the new Kernel fix got rid of the boot loops/reboots.
Sorry about the delay, it's been a heavy week at work. Hope things work out for you.
I don't think flashing another ROM is going to fix the problem at hand. There's very possibly something much deeper wrong here, which a ROM flash won't fix. I honestly think it's better to run an RUU which will bring everything back to the way it's meant to be and the user can start with a blank slate.

You have no idea how much I have vicariously learned from your posts. Thanks Timmaa! I keep thinking if more of these folks would go ahead and get S-Off they would have waaaaaaaaaay less issues.
Flashing another ROM could be worth a try, but the fact that the boot.img seems to be disappearing whenever the screen is off suggest something has gone wrong at a lower level.
I'm glad to help, I'm still learning something new just about every day too from XDA.

I totally agree now because after rereading the post, there is a radio issue in addition to the boot issue. Is it possible that the Endeverou boot.img messed something up?
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. An RUU will hopefully fix that right up.

That sounds like a good plan. (I'm really appreciating all your input by the way! Thanks so much!) One question though, upon checking out the rumrunner website, there isn't specific mention of the HTC One X Evita. Call me paranoid, but after what I've been through I want to make 100% sure I'm compatible before moving forward. Have you or anyone used this specific method for S-Off on the One X Evita?
For the Evita you use the universal HTC method. I've created a thread for it if you want to make sure it's worked for other Evita owners.
