Before you yell at me for not searching, I spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this problem.
I tried to root my Rogers HTC One X, but after failing serveral times in changing the CID, I soft-bricked my phone when trying the method from How to root your HTC One X Tegra3 (for Windows, Mac and Linux) thread on modaco
Now my phone loads up on the HTC logo with red text, and just crashes. I tried to find a RUU, but I can't, only a OTA for my version.
Info
3.17.631.2
File Timestamp: 04/12/12
Publically Seen: 08/01/13
Android: 4.1.1
hboot: 2.14.0000
Kernel: 3.4.10
adsp: 31.1.0.45.0815
radio: 0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34
Could I use the OTA to do a factory reset, if so how?
I can't seem to find a RUU.
Would I be able to use a different RUU, that's a older version?
I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 installed as well, and can access it.
Thanks

Actually, it wasn't that easy, even after unlocking it says I wasn't rooted. My bootloader is unlocked, restore was flashed, and I get "tampered".
I had to install some kind of exploit that kept failing to change my CID.
Also, my HBoot says S-On, maybe one of the reasons I couldn't use root when I flashed it?
Bootloader says

Well of course you wouldn't be rooted after that...do you really think HTC would put out a program that would root our phones and then take responsibility? No.. you obviously did not read at all....once you unlock your bootloader you flash twrp than flash a Rom/ or root... Is that hard to read?
S-on has nothing to do with root. Have you installed a recovery? TWRP?

Yes, I ****ed up. I know. I didn't fully understand what I was doing at first, and just basically skimmed though a couple tutorials before I messed up my phone. If I can get this fixed I know for next time, and probably wont attempt something like this again until I fully understand it. I just want my phone back.

Your steps to freedom...
Download viper xl 3.2.3 to your computer (for now then you can switch roms)
Connect your phone via usb to your comp Go into twrp mount your storage and drag the Rom over to the phone where you'll be able to find it on your sd
Now go into the wipe menu in twrp select wipe system and factory reset..
Nowclicj on install in twrp find viper where you put in on your sd and click on and flash it
You now have a custom Rom/root/ fixed phone

Okay, I'm currently downloading the Rom you suggested, going to take a while. Pretty big. Also, when I mount the System, data, and cache, I get a message from windows asking me to format the J: drive. Should I continue?
Another question, after I flash this Rom, would I be able to reset everything back to the way it was? No Root, relock the bootloader, and reset the the main factory rom?
Whyd you mount system and data? ...so when you click mount menu you see mount system that should be uncecked mount data unchecked two others.. than you see u button halfway through the page that says mount usb storage...

Hello guys
I've just received att HOX from ebay, and when i enter in bootloader, it's kinda strange,
because it says "EVITA" in bootloader menu.
Bootloader is unlocked, S-OFF, CID-1111111
HBOOT 1.09.0000
I want to flash Android Revolution HD 31.0 JB rom, but it needs Custom recovery, which i can't flash.
Tried several times, but when i want to enter Recovery, says "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside oh HTC ... bla bla" with red text and stucks there.
Also, it needs Firmware.zip, which defends on CID, but i don't know original CID of my phone.
Can i use whatever firmware.zip I want?
Please tell me which firmware should i choose, which recovery should i flash,
and why it says "Evita"? It's not One XL and it's not on Tegra 3 chipset..
Any help would be greatly appreciated ))
It says Evita because it's a One XL, not a One X. Android Revolution is not meant for this phone, so don't try to flash that. Only get ROMs from this forum, the development threads are here and here.
The reason your recovery won't load is probably because you're flashing the wrong one. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone. Just make sure you only get ROMs from the two links I provided before.

First of all, thank you for your reply))
But i think it's not XL, i had doubt about it, but phone storage is 16GB, not 32
I've tried and flashed TWRP 2.6 recovery and boot.img of Android Revolution HD 31,
now it says same first, when i try to enter recovery, then loads TWRP. but as i think it cant read internal memory, i tried to WIPE data, but it says no storage/ sd-ext ... are mounted and finishes with error.
Also, phone doesn't power up now. When i power up normally, it shows "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside oh HTC ..." again and stucks there.
Don't know what to do, as i know difference between One X and One XL is internal storage (XL 32 GB)
but definitely it has 16 only..

You clearly don't know the difference between the two models at all. It has nothing to do with the internal storage. I actually know what I'm talking about and I'm trying to stop you from bricking your phone.
Evita is the codename for the One XL. This is the phone you have.
Endeavor is the codename for the One X. You do not have this phone.
Also, the One XL comes in 16gb and 32gb models.
Hopefully that's clear enough for your to understand and you'll stop trying to brick your phone now?
Or you can continue to ignore the educated advice I'm giving you and continue flashing things that aren't meant for your phone and destroy it. It's your choice though.

Flashed TWRP and it enters normally, but still when i try Wipe/factory reset, gives error and says that "unable to mount storage, sdcard and etc"
Is it normal?
I'll try to flash 3.18 RUU now, because phone doesn't boot up and I cant place custom ROM on internal storage.
Am i doing it right?

if you are using twrp 2.6 you can just format the SD card in twrp, it should work fine after.

But i have no idea why i get that message when i try to power on phone normally..

That's normal. if it bothers you that much, you can flash a modified hboot. There's a link in the mods section of the resource compilation thread. There's a link in my signature.

Mate, I told you in the beginning that Android Revolution is not for your phone. So like Carl said, that boot.img is not for your phone. ONLY EVER GET ROMS FROM THE TWO LINKS I PROVIDED IN MY FIRST REPLY. Also, you don't need to flash the boot.img, you are s-off so it doesn't matter.

Hello there guys,
Been trying to root my XL from Telstra (AUS) but some weird things are going on.
Can't figure out why i'm unable to to SuperCid my phone, my current Supercid is TELST001
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
Also, tried to root my phone using this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
So far, I have achieved to Installed S-OFF and CWM.
What i'm trying to do here is to use any 4.22 Android Rom with sense 5, like CleanROM or CyanogenMod 10
Im uploading some of the current photos taken so you guys can have more information on S-OFF and CWM.
Thanks in advance.
Ps: One of the pictures was a Failed OTA from Telstra, is there a way to go back to and be able to install the OTA from Telstra instead of any custom ROM (In case we cant find what is causing the phone to block the supercid and the super SU)
Ota won't work with a custom recovery.
I am running MagioR4 sense 5 4.2.2 you can install that now without doing anything else to your phone. There are a few others as well, but this is only one I've been running so I can't say much about others, but assume they will work out just as well.

Hi there mate,
Tried to run Super Su and shows as the phone been not rooted, i'm a bit confused atm.
Is there a need to Super Cid and if i were to use the OTA, can i remove the custom recovery?

That's the carrier ID (CID) not SuperCID. SuperCID is 11111111 or 22222222. I think you know that, but let's get the terms right to avoid confusion.
You don't have S-off. It says right in your screenshot that the phone is still s-on.
But you it says UNLOCKED, so your bootloader is unlocked. All S-on means is that you can still install custom ROMs, you just have to flash boot.img seperately from fastboot.
As mentioned, you have to return to stock recovery in order to be able to install OTAs. Easiest way is to RUU back to stock. But be completely sure you are not SuperCID, otherwise S-on + SuperCID + Jellybean RUU = BRICK.
Personally, going stock just to install the stock 4.2.2 ROM is a step backward, not forward, as you already have an unlocked bootloader and cutom recovery. But you also seem confused about a number of things. I would suggest reading and more fully understanding the concepts and processes before proceeding with any further mods to the phone.

Unlocking the bootloader does't root the phone. You can flash an SU package in recovery to obtain root, or flash a rooted ROM.
You don't need SuperCID for anything but s-off.

CleanROM is neither 4.2.2 nor Sense 5. CM10 is an AOSP ROM, so by definition not a Sense ROM at all.

I remember that you need to copy the IMG file to the sd card but the Htc one xl has not got a Sd card at all, What can i do?
Thanks

No you've got it backwards. The boot.img goes in your fastboot folder on your pc, not on your phone.
You need to fastboot flash the boot.img from each ROM you want to flash. So, if you want to install CM10.2, you must extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and put it in your fastboot folder on your pc (not your sd card in your phone). Then you put the ROM zip on your phone, and install it in recovery (after wiping cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system), then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img using fastboot. You must follow this process for each new ROM you want to flash.
Do a backup of your current setup in recovery before flashing anything new though.

By the way, even though our phone doesn't have a physical sd slot, we refer to the stage as the sd card.

It would be highly beneficial for you to read the top post of any ROM thread you want to install, as the dev usually has some important info. In the ROM you linked, it clearly says:
Installation Instructions (These are all required)
1.S-Off your device (Do this before RUU'ing and it will not wipe your /sdcard).
2.Update to 3.18 RUU.
Also, at a minimum, I will read the last few pages (most recent) of the ROM thread, just to see if there are any prominent bugs or, issues or useful tips being discussed.

I think you are misunderstanding what I mean when I say "flash the boot.img using fastboot". You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to flash (boot.img us often specific to the ROM). With boot.img on your computer, flash it to the phone using fastboot.
There are ways to flash boot.img without a computer. But since you specifically mentioned fastboot, the file does not go on your SD card in this case.
But again, this is not particularly applicable to CM10.2, since the dev is specifically recommending to have s-off before flashing. S-off means you do not have to flash boot.img seperately (it happens automatically when you flash the ROM in recovery).
Also, the phone does have an SD, its just not removable. Think of it as a virtual SD card.

Hi there,
Im trying to Update the RUU as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382933
However, I'm getting an error called 155, which says that Im trying to install the wrong RUU
I was trying to update the RUU, then restart the phone, went into S-off, then into recovery and Wipe factory/data reset, then install the CM10.2 build
Is something missing here?
Thanks.
Which RUU are you trying to install? The 3.18 RUU suggested at the start of the thread?
My suggestion is to get s-off first, and you need to get SuperCID before you get s-off. Flash any rooted sense ROM from the development section, you need root to get SuperCID.

Its saying wrong RUU, because its the wrong RUU.
If you are S-on, you can only run an RUU meant for your Telstra version.
It appears you ignored my previous advice to read up on the basic concepts and procedures, before continuing to try to mod the phone.

Hi there, I'm getting confused of what you are saying, Thought that I have already S-OFF and as previous comments, I don't need to touch SuperSid, as per the Root, I believed it was already rooted.
And yes, I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU, currently using 3.17.
Thanks.

I think this is a lost cause. You aren't even reading what people have replied to you. I clearly stated in post #4 above, you DO NOT have s-off.
Right in your second screen shot (white bootloader screen) it says S-ON (third line of text). This means you DO NOT HAVE S-OFF.

Like Redpoint just said, you can't install an RUU from another carrier (the 3.18 RUU is at&t) while you're s-on. You don't have s-off, look at the screenshots you attached earlier, in your bootloader it says s-on. You have an unlocked bootloader which is an entirely different thing.
Unless you've flashed a superuser zip or flashed a rooted ROM you don't have root. Root just means that you have administrative access to system files in a ROM. The real thing you need to install custom ROMs is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I'm gonna be honest, you're in over your head and you're ignoring good advice which was given to prevent you from damaging your phone.
You really have two choices: either do a hell of a lot of reading until you have a firm understanding of what you're doing, or leave your phone alone. The way you're going right now you're on track to destroy your phone.

I have not ignored your advised, It rather hard to understand all this, since there is no Indication for the right RUU, since the thread i'm looking at, does not mention anything in regards of using a different RUU.
I apologise If you feel like i'm ignoring your advised, I would rather ask you now, What should I do?
Are you able to do some prompts in regards of what to do?
So far, IMAO I need to to this:
Flash the Correct RUU (Gotta find it first)
Use S-off to Install the Custom ROM (ROM is already copied to the phone's memory)
Install the new Custom ROM, however, not to sure about the GApps, which are google apps.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1kbeoh/gapps_20130813_for_android_43_and_20130812_for/
I guess that you need to copy them before you install the new ROM?
Thank you for your patience.

As you've been told at least 3 times now, what you should do is READ READ READ.
None of this is hard to understand once you start diving into it and learning.
I'm personally not going to spoonfeed you any more steps (and suggest against doing it either), as shortcutting the learning process is only going to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.

We're getting there, here are the exact steps you need to take:
1) Read a lot.
2) Read some more.
3) Flash a superuser zip on your current stock ROM, or flash a rooted Sense ROM so you have root.
4) Get SuperCID.
5) Get s-off.
6) RUU to latest.
7) Flash whatever ROM you want.

Good catch. I missed that.
To the OP: you don't need to RUU to install cm10.2 on your device as you already have the required hboot/firmware. Without s-off you will need to manually flash the boot.img using fastboot though.

Hello guys, i hope someone can help me. This is my situation:
At the begining i had a stock rom 4.1.1 from AT&T. I succesfully did S-OFF and installed Super CID 1111111. Everything went great but my goal was to install the Germany T-Mobile 4.2.2, so, the next step i did was to follow a tutorial wich guided me to install team win recovery. I copied the rom i mentioned to the sd card and when i tried to flash it failed. So, i did a wipe (Im so stupid ) and now i had no OS. after that, i tried to install ClockWorkMod to follow another tutorial and fix that. I did it using adb but when i tried to reboot in recovery it got stuck in a black screen and i need to push the three buttons for a long time to power it off. Since that, i turn it on, put it in fastboot mode but the console don't even recognize it when i try to use adb (It find no adb devices). So, i did a mess with my phone and i cant find a solution.
Can anyone help me please? Thank you so much guys.
PD: If you need any other details i can let you know anything.
I'm gonna need your bootloader details please. Also, what error did you receive in recovery when trying to flash the T-Mobile ROM?
The reason adb commands aren't working is because you need to use fastboot commands when connected in fastboot mode. I'd suggest flashing TWRP recovery back into the phone, mount the storage, copy a ROM across and flash it.

Yeah that's exactly what I needed to see. Like I said, adb isn't going to work, you need to use fastboot commands. So use fastboot to flash TWRP recovery back onto the phone and try flashing a ROM. If that doesn't work I'd suggest running an RUU.

Hello timmaaa, i really appreciate your help. I did check the md5 checksum and the rom seems to be ok. As i mentioned before, the problems shows up when the flashing process steps to the partition detail "something" process. If you are ok with that, i can let you get into my computer by Teamviewer or some other remote control software so that way you can see anything you need by yourself. I don't know the Team Win Recovery version installed and i'm in my work right know and i didn't bring the htc with me, i'll let you know the version as soon as i get home.
I don't have a PC at the moment so Teamviewer isn't a possibility, just post the TWRP version when you can.

Ok, no problem. The version of TWRP is v2.5.0.0
That's your problem, 2.5 is full of bugs. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone and try again.

timmaaa, thank your sooo much. You are my hero. everything is working fine again and now i have 4.2.2. Thank you
I have a HTC ONE X LTE - Rogers. I was running hboot 1.11 with Viper Custom ROM. I decided it was time to update my rom but I have not done any flashing in a while. I tried installing the newest Revolution HD ROM without any luck and realized it maybe because my hboot was out of date. So I tried to re-lock my bootloader and flash a newer RUU with JB but I feel like this is where I went wrong. I think I flashed the wrong RUU. I can no longer boot into Recovery. Even if I try flashing for it again I still can not boot into it.
Its status is currently UNLOCKED, hboot is 2.14. I don't want to mess this up, what do I do now?
Version-main 3.17.631.2
When I run fastboot and adb commands, fastboot works but it isn't recognized as a device for adb commands.

Revolution HD isn't for our phone, that's for the Endeavoru (HTC One X), you have the Evita (HTC One XL). You're lucky you didn't brick the phone.
After the RUU does the phone boot up into Android? Have you manually flashed TWRP recovery since you ran the RUU?

Yeah... I realize the differences now. Even posted asking for help on the wrong board till they redirected me to this one. Hmm I was on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
and Im pretty sure I downloaded this file
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip
and inside that I extracted the firmware.zip and flashed that onto my then RE-locked phone.
Everything was fine except I was following another thread that stated how and I just typed the commands. The guy said after it said "Okay" in the cmd window it was fine but on my phone the progress bar didn't go all the way and was actually stuck on the last bit for a good while so I thought since he said it was "okay" it was done and I restated my phone. Thats when the problems came.
That's a zip file so it's an OTA, not an RUU, an OTA will not work unless you already have the correct system already installed for it to build on. An RUU is an exe file. Go back to androidruu and download an RUU exe file then connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the exe program. Don't extract it, just run the program.

Oh ok, cool. Is there a difference between Evita and EvitaRE? Is it ok if the RUU is a lower number(Im assuming a less up to date) firmware than the one I have right now? Then what should I do after? What Custom rom would you recommend? I was thinking a stable CM rom since I really like the look of AOSP. My only problem was I tried it before and my battery only lasted around 6 hours. With Viper I could get around 7-14 depending on usage.
When I run the RUU (1.0.6.2012) it says From :IMG V 3.17.631.2 To: Image V 1.94.631.3. Is this correct?
Evita and EvitaRE are two completely different phones. Only ever use ROMs/kernels/radios/RUUs that are for Evita specifically. You can't run an older RUU if you're s-on, are you s-on or s-off? Asking for a recommended ROM isn't allowed here, to say one is better infers that the others are inferior in some way. This isn't fair on the devs who spend their spare time bringing us great ROMs free of charge. You need to have a look through the ROMs on offer and find one you think you'll like. Also I asked you before if you've tried flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot? You never answered.

I am S-ON. Sorry about that, didn't realize. Yes I did try flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot but I am not able to acces it and I am not sure if I am flashing it correctly. I just put it into the folder with my fastboot files and cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I renamed it to recovery.img)
I downloaded RUU 1.0.6.2012 (it was the only exe in the list for my region) and I tried installing it. I get an Error 155:Unknown error. Telling me to get the correct RUU and try again.
Where did you download TWRP? Maybe we should start again to make sure you've got the right version. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now hopefully you can enter recovery on your phone.

Forget about the RUU for the moment, I believe if we can successfully get TWRP on your phone you can flash an Evita ROM and you'll be fine.

Where did you download TWRP? Maybe we should start again to make sure you've got the right version. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now hopefully you can enter recovery on your phone.

Wonderful, I have successfully booted into recovery!:victory:
Cool. From now on just make sure you stay in our forum. You'll find the main page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Bookmark that page. The two development sections are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/development (Sense ROMs)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/orig-development (aosp ROMs)
As long as you only download ROMs etc from those two development forums you can't really go wrong. Now just find a ROM you like and you can flash it. Remember if it's an aosp ROM you need to flash gapps as well. And don't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards too because you're s-on. If you have any further problems just ask here.

Cool, thanks for all the help! I think Im just going to do a quick install of cleanrom, make sure everything is stable and get S-OFF. After that I'll update my RUU to 3.18 and make a backup from there. Thank you again!
Well no I'm stuck again. I am trying to get S-OFF in order to get a clean RUU install so that the kernel isn't messed up like it is right now. Except The only two methods of getting S-OFF required either SuperCID or adb commands. The only way I can find to get SuperCID is through ADB commands so regardless I need to use adb commands. It isn't so bad except that my phone is not recognized when I try to run adb commands. Ive done everything to reinstalling multiple times yet nothing seems to work.
Try installing an Android 4.1 ROM, folks have had some trouble with adb on the Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROMs.

Im using CleanROM 6.5 and under software information it says android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+. Should I use an older one?
Ah ok, I thought you were using the latest version of CR which is an Android 4.2.2 ROM. So you've updated both your HTC drivers and adb/fastboot? What version of Windows are you using? Are you using the HTC usb cable that came with the phone? Are you using a front or rear usb port?

Tested on my Desktop running Windows 7-x64 as well and all the drivers are fine except for the MTP drivers. They don't install correctly. Thats the problem with my laptop as well.
Is there anyway I can do a clean wipe or start over from scratch?
An RUU will start you over from scratch, the only problem is that you're s-on so you can run an older RUU and there isn't an RUU that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. Are you able to mount your sd card in TWRP?
