I have tried rooting my HTC One X and I installed the wrong rom onto it after rooting it. I wasn't able to boot, but I could get to the fastboot screen by holding down the down button and the power button. I ran out of time to work on it, so I unplugged it before I had figured it out. Now I cannot get it to that screen, or even to show the charging indicator. Any ideas of how I can get it booted up again? Is there any other info you need to help me figure this out? I searched for a solution but I haven't been able to find one yet. Thanks in advance.
Firstly, do you have the HTC One X (Endeavoru) or the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita)?
Which ROM did you flash?
Do you know what your bootloader details were?

I have the AT&T One X Evita. I tried putting on CM Recovery. Also I did get it rooted and unlocked. I was installing the ROM and I flashed one that kept the OS from starting. It showed the loading screen but stuck on that. I could always get back to the HBOOT though. Now it isn't possible to get there. It may be from the battery dying but the battery isn't charging according to the light. There is no light at all when I plug it in.
Ok, you answered the first question but what about the other two? If you want help you need to answer the questions that are asked, with as much specific detail as possible. Answering that you "flashed a ROM that kept the OS from starting" doesn't answer the question. I can't help properly unless you give me the information I need.
In terms of the LED not showing that it's charging, it does happen sometimes. Plug the phone into a wall outlet and leave it connected for eight hours, then try to boot into the bootloader using the power + volume down button combination. Don't do anything else yet though until you've answered the questions and we've ascertained exactly what's going on with your phone.

I told you what details I knew. I started this a month or two ago, and since then I have misplace where I put the ROM images. So I honestly don't remember. I am trying to get the phone fixed up now, cause now I have time to fix it. From what I remember, I tried flashing an image using either adb or fastboot onto the recovery. From there I haven't been able to get it into recovery or to boot normally. I could only get to the HBOOT screen. I really can't remember which one I tried to flash on there. And I can't get many more details on the hboot screen.
It's very difficult to help in that case. Try charging for an extended period of time like I suggested before and see if it'll power on.

if you want to root your devices, i recommend you to use SRSroot, This app to make your devices rooted. you just click and tarrraaaaaa... your device is rooted... :laugh:
NB: you must have internet access to use this app
search "SRSroot" in google, click official web for SRSroot and download....
SRSroot only has a 50% success rate across all devices. Plus using that will only (maybe) allow root access on a stock ROM. It doesn't allow bootloader unlocking, or installing custom recovery, or installing custom ROMs. It's pretty much useless for this device because the whole unlocking process for the Evita is quite different. Maybe don't just post this in forums where you know absolutely nothing about the device.

Not relevant to this thread, as its not lack of root method that is the OPs problem. Also, if you don't have this device and don't know if the root method you suggest will work on it, you shouldn't be suggesting it.

If you weren't actively trying to do anything (flash any kind of file, etc.) when you unplugged the phone, I would have to think its just a matter of getting the phone charged again.
On the other hand, if it doesn't come back after charging overnight (use the wall charger, not charging via computer USB), and/or you get a message QHSUSB_DLOAD when connected to your computer, the phone is pretty much done and its either time to JTAG or a new phone.

As it's Vodafone, do you have a network unlocked device?
If not then you can't use HTCDev.com and must wait for the general s-off tool.
Alternatively you can try to network unlock your device, through Vodafone or third party.
Mines also Vodafone branded. worked for me. HTCDev doesnt give S-OFF it just unlocks bootloader to allow files to be written.
The NAND is still write protected until such tool can combat this. Fastboot is definitely unchecked right ? sometimes on my phone it comes back on without
me re-enabling it
EDIT: I have to hold the Volume down + power for about 10-15 seconds for bootloader to come up

Nope I will try though..good idea only ever used adb once
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
haha completely forgot about the adb reboot method lol
Make sure you got USB Debugging enabled under develop option..
Just verified that it works for me, though I have an unbranded phone.
Like azzledazzle said, you need to have USB debugging enabled in Settings->Developer options.
If you haven't yet, download HTC Sync from HTC.com and start the installer. The USB drivers will be installed as prerequisites. If you don't want HTC Sync, you can cancel the installer after the prereqs are installed. Then connect your phone and Windows should install the adb drivers automatically.
I had the same issue and this is what is working for me:
Fastboot off and usb debugging on
Power off and wait to be sure it is turned off
Hold volume down and keep holding it
Press power for 3-4 seconds while still keeping volume down pressed
Wait until bootloader shows before releasing volume down.
This works for me now every time.

I checked all the other bricked threads and none have the same problem as me.
My HTC ONE X will not boot and or charge. I cannot get access to the bootloader or recovery.
My HTC ONE X had it's bootloader unlocked via the rogers htc-dev method. I also installed clockwork recovery. It is rooted also but you prob figured that already...
I pulled a bonehead move by flashing the MIUI rom the international one x by changing the update script to flash onto my phone. After it flashed it looked like it worked. When I left recovery and shut the phone off it would not turn back on.
I called AT&T they said they will switch it for me when they get a shipment but I want to keep this phone because the boatloader is unlocked and they might patch the rogers method.
Thanks in advanced.
P.S. I know how to use adb and other tools such as RUU and they did not work.

H-Boot key combo is not working.
I have been flashing roms since the samsung moment, I built and modified roms on my EVO and ported roms from other phones to the EVO. I always had recovery to fall back onto to get my phone booting again. Even when I had the Xperia Play that required a PC to boot recovery I was still able to get the phone to work. This phone is strange that is will not even turn onto H-boot/Bootloader.

Thank God the dude at AT&T cannot get into the bootloader also to see that is was tampered with so they are giving me a replacement.

Honestly, not trying to call you stupid or something, but did you really think it was going to run on this phone when it was meant for another one? The GPU and CPU are completely different...
Anyway, I'm glad AT&T is replacing it for you. Hopefully if someone else bricks the same way then they will be able to get a replacement as well.
so you are smart enough to use adb, an RUU, unlock your bootloader, root, flash roms.......but you aren't smart enough to see the hundreds of posts saying that the international roms don't work on our phones??

Coming from a phone that is virtually unbrickable (Captivate), I'm quite curious about how you managed to get it into this state. What exactly did you flash? Did the package contain both the system image and bootloaders for the tegra3 one x?

My EVO was unbrickable too, I flashed a rom that was designed for the international version. It only contained system and other basic rom stuff, nothing that was crazy.

Basically what's happened is your phone has lost the drivers for the chip set and needs them re-installed, as far as I'm aware, no-one has managed to find a way to do it.

Is it completely dead and unresponsive? Just flashing the wrong recovery shouldn't kill your phone. I've done it myself a couple of times by accident, and fixing it was just a matter of flashing the right one.
Sounds like you actually flashed the wrong rom. Doing that can kill your bootloader, which will put you in QHSUSB mode. There is a way out that's been discussed, but I can't find it at the moment. It involves pushing a new hboot onto your phone and I believe requires Linux.

just found out the one x international recovery flashes on the partition that on our phones is the boot loader partition. could be fixed inside of linux, but i didnt get into how.
I had the same problem with the QHSUSB Download it turns out my phone had a really drained battery so how I managed to fix it was had it plugged into my computer and let the lights flash until i got a solid amber light. after about 15 minutes, I turned it on and it worked fine!
on my tablet i pressed for a really long time the power button and then it started up
it enters almos allways in qualcomm download mode when the battery is depleated.

Yes, it's a brick, but there is a fix if you have access to a Linux computer and know what you're doing.

when the device is bricked (qhusb mode), after pushing and holding power for ~10 seconds - in linux shortly thereafter all of the partitions will enumerate and expose themselves to linux for about 5 seconds (you'll see sdX1, sdX3, sdX8, about 30 partitions alltogether). During that quick 5 seconds you can DD whatever you feel like back to those partitions.

This is how I've recovered bricks. Corrupt hboot --> Brick device. DD back correct hboot while in this mode --> unbricked

Okay, one last thing. Open up Device Manager in Windows and expand the whole directory tree. Check "DVD/CD-ROM devices" in particular. Plug your phone in and see what happens.
If nothing happens at all, try leaving it plugged in overnight and see if anything is different. If it's still dead, it's bricked, whatever you did with it. Since it's new, you should be able to return it and get a new one.

i used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and it went smoothly. next i htc one x aio kit by hasoon and tried to flash cwm but it did not work. out of desperration i downloaded r3 endeavor insecurebootandroot and clicked on the install-insecure-windows.bat file. it did something and while restarting under htc logo phone says 'this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc without written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action.'
i tried factory resetting from the boot screen(power button+volume down) but it did not work.
i dont know what to do, im exhausted and desperate. i know its not the XL forum but many say one x and xl can be rooted in the same way.
please someone help, what do i need to do? im a student and i cannot leave this one and buy another.
edit: phone was running on JB 4.2.2
The One XL and One X cannot be rooted in the same way, none of their exploits/firmware/software is compatible with each other. My suggestion is to run an Evita RUU to take it back to stock and start again. Stay within this forum, do not wander anywhere else, you're extremely lucky you haven't bricked your phone.

thannk you, thank you. as you already know im a noob, can you please tell me what is evita RUU and where to get it? also how to RUN it?
Ok, Evita is the codename for the One XL, that's why it's displayed at the top of your bootloader. RUU is an acronym and it stands for Rom Update Utility, basically what it does is install a fully stock system on your phone, including ROM, recovery, hboot etc. The RUU will remove any dodgy firmware/software from your phone and replace it with the right ones. Here is the link for Evita RUU's:
http://androidruu.com/?developer=Evita
It's an exe program so all you need to do is connect your phone to your pc in fastboot mode and run the exe file, follow a few prompts on the PC and it's done. Make sure you don't have HTC Sync Manager installed, make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver / hibernation is turned off. Once it's finished you can either stay stock or you can install a custom recovery (I'd suggest TWRP 2.6) and then custom ROMs. Just make sure your stay within this forum from now on and you'll be fine.
PS. Stay away from anything with Endeavoru in the filename, that's for the One X. If you need instructions on how to install TWRP recovery let me know.

With S-off, you can run any RUU. You might pick a more recent version (3.1x)

If the screen comes on, it should charge. Plug it in, and if the red or green charge LED comes on, its charging.

when I plug the wall charger, the red led lights up for a couple of seconds and goes off.
Try a different USB cable?

to use RUU do I need to relock the bootloader?

You're s-off so you don't need to relock the bootloader.

Leave it plugged in for a few hours, overnight if possible.

thanks for the tips.
I'll be trying to run RUU today.
things I'm gonna do;
uninstall htc sync.
install necessary drivers for fastboot
put phone in fastboot mode and connect the USB, where it will hopefully say 'fastboot USB'
then run the RUU.
fingers crossed, hop I won't get any errors. I'll update here whatever happens
and I'll be using OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1 (3rd one on that list) is it ok ?.
No problems, and yes that all sounds right to me. Good luck.

sorry to go a bit off topic but why to NOT have HTC sync manager.
cause i had it installed when i RUUd my device nothing went wrong!?
It can get in the way and disrupt communications between the PC and the phone. While running an RUU it's suggested that no other programs are running at the same time, and while you can exit Sync Manager it has a habit of opening by itself randomly. The last thing you want to happen while running an RUU is any kind of disruption as this can cause a brick.

what if the power supply fails?
ill go to some cyber cafe with power backup just to be on the safer side.
btw how much time does the RUU take to finish the job ?
I'm gonna do it tomorrow.
A power supply failure would be pretty rare, but yeah if it stops halfway through you'd be in trouble. The process usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

and the worst thing happened.
phone isn't switching on anymore. I kept it in my drawer all day and in the night tried to charge. the led blinked twice and turned off as usual. I kept it charging for an hour, then tried turning on by pressing and holding down the power button *nothing*
tried pressing the button for ten mins, nothing happened. tried holding down power key + volume down = same story. tried holding down power key + volume for 2 min = nothing.
I screwed it :'( can't bear the loss :'(
It's probably salvageable via a jtag repair, all is not lost yet. It usually costs about $60 USD.

I'll be sending the phone back to the ebay seller. I've opened a claim some days ago as the phone was having some issues(yellow spots on screen, overheating, long charging time).
if all goes well, I'll get a new phone in two weeks.
btw thanks a lot for helping me out, I'll probably need more to root my (hopefully) comin evita
