:crying: please somebody help me, im desperate, my dad just bought me the htc one x at&t for a gift after my galaxy s 2 got stolen a while back, i had previous exerience rooting, unlocking, and modding basic stuff, the only thing i didnt like about the phone was the multitasking button instead of a menu button, so i rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using the method on onexroot.com and it all worked and i installed twrp recovery, but when i flashed the button remap (cant remember which one) it now gets stuck at the one x screen, i figured this wasnt a problem and i could just download another rom and flash it, but from recovery usb wont moun it get and error something like
something about the sdcard
checking partitions
E: cant mount sd card
E: failed to open lunfile (doesnt exist)
i might be messing up but i am unable to get it to appear in adb always says device not found
am i screwed? am i stuck with a broken rom that cant be fixed?
Please help, it will mean the world to me
Uh read up on ODIN. I used it to get my friends SGS out of a soft brick. I'm not sure if it's for the one x though. What it does is after you put your phone into recovery mode or force pushes a ROM to the SD card then flashes it. Also try googling a tool to force it into recovery. ODIN might I'm not too sure though.

Can you load into the bootloader..?
<Hold power button for ~10 seconds until the buttons flash at the bottom>
<Once its off, hold the power button and the Volume Down [NOT UP = Very bad]>
That should load up the bootloader. Then you can attempt to go into the recovery again OR reinstall it through bootloader.
Now if that doesn't work, You can attempt running the 1.85 RUU from your computer. It <might> overwrite all existing partitions and create a solid and fresh foundation for re-rooting and all.
And to answer your question if you're screwed, in my experience it is almost never an issue to get your phone out of a soft brick as long as you can access some sort of recovery.

heres the rundown
bootloader - yes
recovery - yes
adb - no
fastboot - yes
mount storage - no (makes recovery kinda useless)
i sure hope im not screwed, but since i cant find a way to get a clean rom on the phone i dont see a way to fix it, odin is strictly samsung sadly, and i know nothing about ruu, i dont care about root or anything anymore i just want my phone to work so whatever it takes
Ok, I wasnt sure about ODIN. Try an RUU. Basically an RUU is an .exe or executable file that is almost completely automated that flashes the complete package (Rom, radio, kernel). It might not work depending on what you have installed on windows (drivers and such). You might have to uninstall HTC drivers & sync and try again if that doesn't work install the drivers only then rerun the RUU. RUU is your best bet now. Download one and start the exe. Remember if you're on Mac OSX or linux you're going to have to use a Virtual machine or windows emulator to run the RUU

i have my mac dualbooted with windows 8 consumer preview, interestingly fastboot doesnt work on the windows end but it does on a mac, im gunna assume i did more than one thing wrong when i previously tried (failed to detect device) to ruu it, where do i get the ruu, where do i get the drivers, and if i use a virtual machine do i need the drivers?
your help is much appreciated
Mac OSX is not the right platform to be using nor is windows 8 (because it is unproven and still in beta). I would recommend using a fresh installation. If you have a windows 7 .ISO you can install it and use it for 30 days before they lock you out with out a key.
Here is a helpful tool to install it as fast as possible VIA USB (provided you have a >4GB drive) http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
If you are running Mac OSX here is an XDA developers guide for linux (Mac OSX is based off of Free BSD a linux distribution) by Jeepfreak. The process will differ some but not a lot.

Make sure you don't have HTC Sync or if you do it is not running in the background.
ok so i download the ruu, got that, i think i have the android sdk on that computer, will that cover any drivers i need? and for the ruu what to i have to do on the phone end?
i ran "fastboot getvar version-main" and it returned "version-main: 1.73.502.1" will the difference between .502 vs .502.1 make a differnece?
Shouldn't make a difference.... And i would try running the RUU first then download the necessary drivers if that doesn't work...

The .1 is for att. But you'll want to run the ruu in fast boot that's either the same version or a higher version like 1.85.502.1.

The drivers you can get off of htc's website under ATT ONE X, or just search XDA for them...
You do not need any commands to run an RUU. Like I said it is completely automated...
and what mode on the phone off, bootloader, fastboot?

Try Bootloader then Recovery. It usually does it for you though if you were booted into a ROM.

I'm having a problem getting my phone to connect to my pc, I was able to connect to it about a week ago and transfer a few files(movies) over. But now when I plug it in all it dose is charge, no notification bar, no pop-up asking what I want to do, windows wont chime and detect it either, rebooted both phone and pc, and still nothing. I tried using all the ports on my pc front and back, and a different cable. However my friend can connect his phone to my pc(same port I always used for my phone) just fine, so I plugged my phone into a different computer and it just charges. I even checked to make sure it's still set to ask me on connection and default is to mount as well as debugging is on.
I went into the bootloader to see if I could mount through "fastboot USB" but it wasn't an option, when "adb devices" is used the list is blank, and HTC Sync show's no devices(installed sync to see if the drivers it had would fix things...it did not). I'm on 1.85 rooted but not unlocked and have tried just about everything short of doing a factory restore or running the 1.85 ruu which I'm holding out for last as I don't want to lose my files or root in case doing either doesn't work lol, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance guys!
Did you check main settings, connect to pc an select your USB option?

My HTC Flyer used to do that every once in a while (actually has not done it in a while) and its annoying as hell. Wiping cache and Dalvik cleared it right up. I do it from custom recovery, but if you don't have one installed, Market apps should let you clear the caches as long as you have root (which you mentioned you did). ROM Toolbox is one app that states it has this feature (but I haven't personally used it).
Otherwise, a factor reset should fix the issue.
What ROM are you running? I had this issue when I switched to a JB ROM that wasn't very far into development. It could be the ROM. Try entering recovery and mounting it through there.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
I tried Rom Toolbox but it tries to boot into recovery, and from there I get a picture of a phone with arrows, and then it becomes a red ! and then I have to reboot, so Im looking for any other app that may let me wipe the caches and will let y'all know when/if I find one that works. As for my rom, I'm running stock 1.85 as I never unlocked the bl, just gained root using the 1.85 method (did it all manually) but that a few months ago lol
>Edit
I ended up using an app called System Tuner to wipe my caches which did not fix my problem so I guess I'll have to try a factory reset *sigh*

The screen with the phone with arrows is the stock recovery. Its lame if the advertised feature of wiping cache and Dalvik in ROM Toolbox simply boots into recovery (and requires custom recovery), since custom recovery has these features anyway.
Here are a couple more apps that advertise the feature:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fm.kk&feature=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j.y.daddy.customizer&feature=search_result
Again, can't vouch for any of them, and haven't used them (since I wipe cache & Dalvik from custom recovery).
BTW, if you do find an app or other method to wipe cache and Dalvik, be sure to reboot, if the method does not already force a reboot.
Are you rooted with a custom recovery flashed. If not rom toolbox will be of no help. The fact that you got the stock recovery tells me you have not yet flashed one. Maybe, if ur rooted download goomanager and install a recovery from there

Thanks for the links, unfortunately when I cleared both cache and Dalvik and rebooted and connected my phone it still only charges so I'm working on using drop box to pull a few backups I made before doing a factory reset or even using a ruu

I was under the impression I needed my bootloader unlocked to flash a new recovery. The only reason why I never unlocked mine was if something happened I could use my warranty until we got s-off, but at this point if I ever get this problemo fixed I'll just unlock it (might save me from a good bit of head aches later on lol)

What a stupid "feature"! If ROM Toolbox requires custom recovery to wipe cache and Dalvik, then its not a "feature" at all, since all custom recoveries can already do it!

That's what I thought, as well. 18th.abn has written this elsewhere, but I haven't seen it confirmed. If you feel comfortable, give it a try, and let us know. Especially if you are going to run the RUU anyway. Running the RUU will revert recovery back to stock.
If you can flash a custom recovery without bootloader unlock, what's to stop you from flashing custom ROMs?
yeah I had HTC Driver 3.0.0.007 installed before this problem, tried to reinstall them and tried to connect again and nothing, so I removed them again and installed HTC Sync to get the drivers from that and still nothing =\
If I don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery then really theres nothing stopping me now, albeit there's really nothing stopping me now in any case if I manage to fix the usb mounting problem haha
wellp...I did a factory reset and it still wont connect to my computer, so I'm now at a complete loss at what to do
-Edit
I downloaded goomanager and installed twrp but it shunts me back to the bootloader / fastboot and has a tag *** Security Warning ***

I'm at a loss as well. Seems like it might not be the software issue that has plagued my Flyer, and some other users. Does it look like anything in the USB port is damaged or bent?

That's what I thought. If you can install custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader, there is no purpose to unlocking the bootloader, as I think getting custom recovery on the device is the main obstacle to flashing ROMs. Thanks for checking.
well I took it to an at&t store yesterday and they couldn't even get it to connect to their device, so they gave me a number for phone warranty and told me they'll have me do a few trouble shooting steps and then when they realize it's the phone itself send me a new one. My main fear about this is once they get my current phone and they see it's got the security warning and tampered label in the bl will they claim I'm responsible?

sweet! best news Iv heard since this problem started (well as best as it gets in any case lol) I also took a look at the port itself on the phone and it dose not seem like anything is bent and/or damaged so I'm not sure exactly where the hell the problem is.
**Update** I got my replacement phone in, and unfortunately it's on the latest firmware =\ on the up-ish side I think I found out why my old oneX stopped reading...a friend of mine built a pc but his USB ports weren't working, turned out he had the usb lead plugged into a firewire header lol
Big thanks to everyone who helped out trying to find out what the heck happened to my phone!
Wait, so you are you saying their was nothing wrong with your phone?

to be honest, I'm not sure. A few days after I last had my phone hooked into my pc I plugged it into his and it never connected (which was normal at the time since nothing but his mouse/keyboard was able to connect) he had his plugged into the same port as well most the time but his was still able to connect to other computers. In short, it's just my guess that it's a possibility that my plugging it into his computer might have damaged it as we just found out last night he had the front panel usb lead plugged into a firewire header
Ahh, I see what you're saying. Maybe having the Firewire lead connected to the USB port shorted out the port on your One X?
I have an ATT One X, which I recently rooted. Yesterday I tried to flash a JB ROM and it said it was successful. However, now when I turn it on it just stays on the Quietly Brilliant screen indefinitely.
I can get into fastboot, and TWRP is there too.
I can't mount from within TWRP, as my computer just says the drive must be formatted before it can be used. I tried to run an RUU but it doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. Anytime I go to reboot, etc from within TWRP it tells me I have no OS.

Do not worry, ur phone not brick, just you did not flash kernel before flash rom. Always remember this, if you are on Hboot 1.14 or higher, flash kernel (boot.img) before flash rom. Now just extract the boot.img from the JB rom, hook phone to PC (make sure fastboot USB), using kernel flasher, and flash the kernel. Then bingo, your phone back to life!
*** Remember this, always nandroid backup, and as long as you can get into recovery mode, it means ur phone never been bricked!
I'm trying to get to S-OFF using Facepalm S-OFF, however when I connect my One X in bootloader to my PC (I have 2 laptops & 1 desktop) it pops up that the USB device that you connected has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it it does the same thing on all 3 PC's.I originally posted in the Facepalm thread and am now posting here as per thedailyl3af recomendation that I post here since he could not help me. When I connect my One X to the PC the phone is recognized by both the PC & HTC Sync manager (yes I shut down the Sync manager) but soon as I go to bootloader the PC no longer recognizes it. The main reason I want S-OFF is so that I can flash different kerrnals and radio's to try and clear up the One X clearity problem, when I am talking to people most of the I am saying "what" or "could you repeat that". My One X is unlocked and I do have SuperCID. Please Help! Thank you in advance

I have done that, When I connect my One X to my computer, HTC Sync starts, I shut it down. I open command pompt. Then I use adb commands to open bootloader and soon as it goes into bootloader the PC stops recognizing it and says the USB device has malfunctioned. I am unlocked, have SuperCID, Have Super user and am able to use it. I am running ViperXL rom. I have uninstalled drivers on my PC and re-downloaded them and re-installed them many times, so I know it is not drivers on my PC.
Something had to go wrong when I flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0. My problem is everything that evryone is telling me to do goes through bootloader, well if my PC does not recognize my phone while in bootloader how am I going to get past that point. I even tried to flash to TWRP v2.3.1.0, through TWRP recovery, both as a seprate zip file and by starting to reinstall ViperXL (Aroma) installer and I can't even back to TWRP 2.3.1.0 which I know is not as buggy as v2.4.1.0. When I go through the Aroma installer it says that it installed it, but when I go back to TWRP it still says v2.4.1.0.
Was on Facepalm S-OFF Thread and they recomended that I try this forum since evrything they had me try did not work. I am stuck and I just want some straight to the point advice on how to get past this issue. Don't know if this will help but when I am in bootloader this what the bootloader image says, I'm only putting the first part down as you guys know what the rest says.

I just went through all of this. Been having this problem for the past few days. I tried different cable, differenent port, installing/unistalling htc sync, install htc driver/uninstall htc drivers, install android sdk/unistall android sdk, installing pdanet drivers, stopping htc sync, manually uninstalling all android related drivers and reinstalling them. In the end after 4 days of long hours of trial and error I gave up. EVERY solution on the internet fail. Every one of them. Came to the conclusion that something else besides android related drivers is interfereing with fastboot. So the only solution I found was to download virtual box and install a copy of windows in it. Install htc sync on the virtual machine and dont uninstall it. Then plug in your phone while in bootloader connect to the virtual machine and let it install the rest of the drivers. Then fastboot WILL work.
Im not saying don't try all of what everyone is telling you first. What Im saying is that if nothing else works although it may be a bit complicated I can almost guarantee it will work because everything is fresh and there should be no conflicts.

While I agree with you, there are steps you take with troubleshooting to narrow down the cause this way if you don't HAVE to do a fresh install of Windows on a virtual machine, you don't.

Exactly. That was what I was trying to say in the last line of my post.
I had the same problem and tried all of these solutions. Now I tried virtualbox with XP and still no luck. What seems to be happening is that Windows 8.1 cannot even hand off my phone to the virtualbox USB controller because I am getting that error that the device malfunctioned. I've also put a filter to catch all USB devices and enabled/disabled USB 2.0 controller. Any suggestions?
As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.
Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

Hmm... is your USB debugging on? If yes, try reinstalling the driver.

It seems to me like a driver issue.
if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.
uninstall HTC driver and HTC sync and any other phone software (for samsung or whatever else)
Install latest HTC sync
make sure fastboot devices lists your device, then run the RUU

Roll, yah USB Debugging is on hehe. I even turned it off and back on. Exad: Ok. Uninstalling both HTC Sync and Samsung Kies (have to use that for my brother's Galaxy S2 Skyrocket). Uninstalling both now (might have to also run out of town so reply could be a little late).

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Annd now when I was all set to update to his latest one he posted, H8rift goes and begins posting nightlies and I don't have to downgrade touchpanel firmware! Hahaha (I had downgraded it and was about to install)! Still, thank you guys. I'm back in business!
Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Hi timmaaa,
Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

You're in the wrong section, this is the HTC One XL section, you need to go here:

Just had the same issue trying to manually update my M9 to Nougat. Rebooted to download mode (Volume down & Power from off state) and it worked.
