Hi. I'm a newbie on these forums, so please be easy on me. My father recently decided that he wanted to enter the smartphone world and decided on a One XL. He bought it on eBay from a Chinese seller, so I'm pretty sure the One XL is the Chinese variant w/ the 2600 band for LTE.
I'm generally a BlackBerry guy (currently own a Z10), but have used all the phone OSes at some point. I've been pretty comfortable modifying my own BlackBerry, I use Linux at home as my main OS, and I'm also a computer science major studying programming (so I'm not in over my head here).
There are few things that I think would be cool for my Dad:
1) LTE speeds on T-Mobile. If not, 3G or HSPA
2) Android 4.4 KitKat
3) Sense 5
I'm pretty familiar with sideloading so that shouldn't be a problem (Flappy Bird).
I hope my Dad didn't didn't mess up for himself by buying the Chinese version if he wants faster speeds (than EDGE) on T-Mobile. I appreciate any help you may give. Thank you!
You should have no problems getting LTE on the device. You can have KitKat but it will be via an aosp ROM, not Sense. Sense ROMs for our device only go up to Android 4.2.2 and that's probably where they'll stay.
If you want to run a custom ROM on it just head over to htcdev and unlock the bootloader, then you can install a custom recovery, and from there you can install a custom ROM. I have detailed instructions for many of these operations in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. You should also read the Evita FAQ thread in my signature, and bookmark the resource thread.
What are the bootloader details on the device? To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.
With phone powered on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
With phone powered off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

Well you got really lucky and bought a device that's been modified in the past. It already has s-off and SuperCID (11111111). That's half the work done for you. What does it say above those lines though? It should say locked/unlocked/relocked and possibly also tampered.
Your firmware is a bit outdated so you'll need to update that, which will be easy because you already have s-off on the device. Before we go any further I need the other lines from the bootloader though.

I'm at work now, and left the phone at home. I believe it said unlocked. I'll be able to work on this some more in a few hours. Thanks for all your help so far.
No problems. I'm subscribed to this thread so just pop in later and we'll sort you out. If it does say unlocked that leaves very little actual work for you to do, it's pretty much all been done. One thing you will need to do though is to install adb & fastboot on your PC, if you Google "minimal adb & fastboot" the first result will be an XDA thread which details how to do it, that's the easiest way. Another thing you'll need to do is install HTC drivers on the PC, the best way to do this is to install HTC Sync Manager and then connect your phone (first while booted into the OS, and secondly while in bootloader mode), this should install the drivers automatically. Once you've done that you test it by doing the following:
Navigate to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located on your PC, shift + right click, select open command prompt here, then issue these commands:
Code:
adb devices
(While booted into Android)
Code:
fastboot devices
(While in bootloader mode, with "fastboot usb" showing on the phone screen)
Each command should return the serial number of your device. While you're issuing the adb command make sure your screen is on and unlocked because you may see a prompt asking to grant access which you need to confirm.
Before doing this you will also need to navigate to /settings/developer options on the device and enable usb debugging. If developer options doesn't appear in your settings you just need to navigate to /settings/about phone, then find the "build number" category and tap it about eight or so times, this unlocks developer options.

So it looks like my Dad bought a used phone, right? With everything that's been done, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not. Since my Dad wouldn't be happy, I do think I'll keep this little detail between us though
4.2.2 + Sense is better, right? I wouldn't want to shoehorn KitKat on here if there are some features missing and the performance is not as good.
Btw out of curiosity, do these programs have a Linux equivalent? If not, it's cool, I have a Windows machine at home too.

Oh yeah, the phone is without a doubt pre-owned. Whether Sense or aosp is better is a matter of taste, and your dad won't really know which one is best for him unless he's able to play with each of them for a few days to get the feel of them both.
I had forgotten you mentioned having Linux as your main OS at home, and yes adb & fastboot are Linux compatible, they're actually much easier to install because they don't require drivers on Linux. Just Google how to install them on Linux, you should get a bunch of results with clear directions.

Well, I was wrong. The top line says *** LOCKED ***. Looking for the other programs now.
Edit: Took me a while, but I was able to find and get the drivers working in Ubuntu successfully
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT288W303498 device
After going into bootloader, and entering fastboot mode, I get the following:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ sudo fastboot devices
HT288W303498 fastboot
Ok, that's good. Your bootloader is actually in a relocked state but the previous owner has spoofed it to say locked, that's my guess anyway. Either way, your next step is to head over to htcdev and dole the directions there to unlock your bootloader. You can skip the installing fastboot part obviously.

Cool. Now is the point where you need to upgrade the firmware on the device. This is pretty straight forward command line stuff using fastboot.
Download the firmware from here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490004040
Place it in your fastboot folder (the folder where you have fastboot located on your PC). Rename it to "215firmware.zip" to make things easier later on. Open a command prompt from within that folder, or just open a command prompt and use the CD command to change directory to that fastboot directory. Connect your phone in fastboot mode and issue this command to make sure your connection is good:
Code:
fastboot devices
Once you've established a working connection (it'll show your serial number) you can start the process with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will not boot into rebootRUU mode which is a black screen with the HTC logo. Now issue this command:
Code:
fastboot flash zip 215firmware.zip
If the output ends with "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)", run the previous command again. If it ends with "INFO..... OK", just reboot to the bootloader with this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Verify everything was successful by looking at the hboot version and radio version in the bootloader screen. They should be as follows:
Hboot: 2.15
Radio: 1.31a.32.45.16_2
Now just reboot your phone by issuing this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot

You're doing well, all that's left to do now is to flash TWRP recovery and install a ROM. You'll need to decide what kind of ROM you're going to flash because currently Sense ROMs and KitKat aosp ROMs need different recoveries.
For any Sense ROM you can use this recovery:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-evita.img
For any KitKat aosp ROM you need to ue this recovery:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973615
Once you've installed the recovery you will need to make a backup of your current system just in case anything goes wrong in future, or if you want to use it again. Check the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for detailed instructions on how to do that.
Once you've done that you can go ahead and find a ROM you want to install and flash it. Our two develpment sections are as follows:
Android Development
(for Sense ROMs)
Original Android Development
(for aosp ROMs)
Once you've picked one you can download it and head back to my guide thread for full instructions on how to flash it.
@timmaaa your awesome dude, keep up the great help you offer :thumbup:

I started noticing this strange flickering on the sides of the screen. The screen is fine on a white background or when the brightness is turned down. But as soon as color is introduced on a white background, the flickering starts. Is this normal? And will it go away?

Thanks buddy, appreciate it.
Well, I've never noticed it before. I am however, using the phone a lot more regularly since I started updating it. I looked around, and it seems to be an issue a number of people have with the screen. I'll deal with it for now and see if gets any better. Brightness levels won't be too high most of the time anyway.
I think I'll choose Sense 5 and start installing the recovery.
It could simply be a mismatch between the firmware and whatever software version is currently installed on it. Or it could be a hardware defect. You could try running an RUU to rule that out, but that would require a Windows machine with adb/fastboot plus drivers.
Sent from my Evita
Now it's gone away. I dunno. The phone otherwise seems fine. I'll keep observing and if anything happens, I'll report back here.
Recovery installation went well. Now on to flashing the ROM.
Out of curiosity, which ROM do you have on your phone?
One thing I did notice is that some ROMS recommend Jellybean should be installed. Is that an issue for this phone?

So I've tried to get S-On back for warranty purpose. I've used this tutorial:
S-ON
You may want to put your phone back to S-ON after following the rest of this guide, for example if you have reflashed your original rom and want to return it for warranty repair. Thanks to ikhzter thread, we have a way to do this!
1. Open Command Prompt, either Run "cmd" or go to Start, Accesories, Command Prompt
2. Enter the command: "cd C:\platform-tools" (Or whatever location you copied the folder to earlier)
3. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings > applications > development)
4. Enter the command "adb devices". It should come back with list of devices attached and then your serial number.
5. Enter the command "adb reboot bootloader". (You device will restart and boot into fastboot USB)
6. Enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3". (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one you downloaded earlier) and then reboot. It should work now
Now my phone is dead. When I connect it to my laptop I get a driver notification.
QHSUSB_DLOAD
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
Up HELP!? Someone??
I found the driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD. Now what?
Does it boot in bootloader ( Vol- + Power ) ?
No. It's dead. No led blinking.
Now it shows up in device manager unknown device when I connect it to my laptop.
Hi, stylus1828
I have similar prob.
My htc Sensation it's bricked. NO screen, NO lights, NO nothing
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
download mode waiting
how to start normal phone mode
please help me
I had the same problem once, I pulled the battery for a couple of hours.
After a few hours I placed it again and it just booted.
Don't know what to say but I think I'm screwed. I'm gonna send it to HTC, maybe they will not see what I've done and get a replacement. MAYBE!
A friend of mine had a full brick to because of bad rooting and got a new one without any probs. I hope you"ll be lucky aswell.
Let's hope so. Today I sent my phone back to warranty. Tomorrow I will get my answer.

Did you hear back from HTC? What did they say? I feel that unless you totally fried the phones internals they can probably tell that you rooted it when they try to diagnose the problem. What you are describing is the main reason I am so hesitant to root this phone. For your sake, I really hope they fix it for you! Let us know how this develops.
I sent my phone back to the online store from were I bought it. They seem to have an authorized gsm service and I'm waiting for a good answer from them.
I hope that I will get a new one without the dust issue. That was the reason I wanted to get S-ON back.
I just used those exact instructions to get back S-ON and my sensation appears to be bricked as well! someone should change those instructions! any way to fix this?
Instructions work fine if you actually follow them. I've done it. You skipped the most important part! You didn't flash stock ruu BEFORE doing anything else. Then you writesecure flag, then flash ruu again. It clearly states in the instructions to flash the ruu no matter what. Whether you're on stock already or not to make sure that nothing gets fouled up when s-on is set.

For what it is worth, I did flash back to stock rom before following these steps and I still got bricked.... has anyone actually followed these exact directions and not been bricked? I'm just thinking that for a stickied post with information in it that appears to have bricked several user's phones, it might need to be re-worded....
Even i used the exact same thing to get S-ON back and now my phone is bricked!!
Did htc replace or repair your handset?
I used the same instructions and it worked flawlessly, I also sent my phone because of the dust issue. I did follow it by the letter, maybe you forgot to boot the RUU when you installed it, or didn't have superCID?
Yes I have done the method without being bricked
So here is what I did... Last night i successfully unlocked my bootloader on my AT&T HTC Onc X and established root. I was running the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502. I then tried to update this morning to AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.85.502(desktop installer type) it kept giving me errors and would not complete. Like an idiot i tried to flash CleanROM 2.0 -★| 1.85.502.3 | Tweaked! | Stable! | CWM Install! through CWM and it installed successfully but my WIFI would not work at all. So i decided to reload CleanROM DE 1.0 -★| which had worked fin in the past. At the end of the installer it said to do a factory reset and I did. After the reboot is where i noticed my problem. I am stuck on the boot animation screen. Not able to get into the phone at all now. I am able to get back to the bootloader menu.. boot into CWM but unable to reflash the room on the sdcard. It will not mount USB storage. None of the stock desktop installer will recognize my device is plugged in....... ANY SUGGETIONS...or am I screwed....
Is it in a boot loop or is it frozen on the HTC One screen? That happened to me last night but I was able to run the RUU installer. Did you make sure HTC Sync wasn't running, and that you killed adb by using adb kill-server before trying the RUU installer?
Apologies if you've done these things already, I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you can do adb reboot bootloader, you should be able to run the RUU installer from there, no?
it does not show the ONE X boot screen. Its shows i guess what is known as the Galaxy Nexus boot screen that just flashes the colorful boxes over and over the longest i let it go for was like 20 minutes. The RUU installer you talk about, is that the one that you run from ur desktop. If so how do i get it to recognize my device is even plugged in. I have tried it while it is on the boot animation screen and from the bootloader menu. At this point it just seems like I dont have a way to get my computer to detect my device is plugged in. Is there a way to do that from the Bootloader menu?

If you have adb on your computer (from the Android SDK) and the drivers installed, you should be able to access the device from fastboot (bootloader). RUU will work if you can get your device into fastboot. I'm doing it right now (I wanted to try it before telling you).
Just remember, if you were on an unlocked 1.82 when you borked it, you need to be locked again before you can use RUU. Just use fastboot oem lock from the command prompt.
If you can get to the bootloader screen you are not bricked. Why can't you run the RUU like normal from there? Just re-lock your bootloader first.
Poster above beat me to it while I was taking forever to post.
1. Hold down your Volume Down Button and your power button
2. Wait for the device to turn off and keep holding the combination until you boot into the bootloader (It might take a couple tries, don't give up)
3. Plug your device into your computer via the OEM USB Cable
4. Use the Volume Up/Down keys and the Power button to select the Fastboot Option
5. Wait till the device is recognized (The text on screen where it said Fastboot should become Fastboot USB)
6. Go to the folder where you have fastboot installed and type:
fastboot oem lock
7. Go back to the bootloader and into fastboot when its done with relocking. Make sure the text on the top of the screen says "Relocked" or "Locked" (under the Tampered flag)
8. Run the RUU while in fastboot mode. Use version 1.85.
I sorry for being a NOOB... step 6. Go to the folder where you have fastboot installed and type:
fastboot oem lock...
when you refer to "having fastboot installed" I am taking it that you are not refering to the RUU installer... where do I get this FASTBOOT file from to install?
I think I figured it out... will let yall know in a few minutes
I looks to be that the 1.85 RUU is flashing properly... do I use the same method that I originally used to unlock the bootloader again?

Yes. You may need another unlock code. I did, but other people didn't. They just tried several times until it worked.

If you got device not found, you might not have USB Debugging enabled.
I don't think it's possible for something to "mess up" adb. For the Android SDK, just Google it.
When you run the one click CID tool again, just go through it all the exact way you did the first time.
I just spend about four hours on here answering questions and uploading mods. I'm going to take a shower and enjoy the rest of my Saturday. Good luck.

I think as long as you're relocked, not factory locked (meaning, you unlocked 1.82 and then locked it again) you should be able to use the one click tool again. That's how I did it.

I bought a HTC One S for T-Mobile USA. Has been working flawlessly. Today I got an OTA and my world is now upside down. I have spent 5 hours trying countless things to get my phone back up to no avail.
my phone stats:
hboot 1.09.0000
radio 0.16.31501s.16_2
open dsp-v28.1.0.32.0504
emmc-boot apr 2 2012,21:08:24
UNLOCKED
TAMPERED
How do I get back to square one and turn this phone back into something usable?
It has something called TWRP 2.1.7 installed on it and I have tried fastboot and a host of other things to remove it. I have even tried the thread on sending your phone back to stock but I can't access RUU because it won't load the driver. I have never rooted this phone nor do I believe USB Debugging was turned on before I accepted the OTA. I can communicate via fastboot in the command shell via a usb cable. The PC wont mound the SD card so I can't copy a new image and reboot this thing on a different rom and then send it back to stock.
I am about ready to throw it away because i can't seem to get a .zip file to it so it will run again (for putting a working build on it). There are no images to boot to. Somehow that got wiped and no backup was done. I don't give a poop if the data is whiped. Its all backed up via dropbox and exchange. I just want it up and running so i can use RUU and send it back to stock.
Any help would be appreciated.

I hate to tell you this but if you never unlocked or rooted your phone, somebody did. Your device is unlocked and running a custom recovery therefore you cannot accept over the air updates and that is your problem. You did not buy your phone that way from T-Mobile so what did you really do to get to this point?

I never said I bought it as OEM. I also never thought to ask the guy I got it from if he rooted it or unlocked it.
Relocking the boot loader then running an RUU should fix the issue. Once you do that enter the recovery and wipe everything/factory reset.
Then if you are trying to run a custom ROM you should be able to mount your SD card and push one to the phone.

Great reply however I am short on knowledge on how to do what you have recommended. I don't know how to relock the boot loader nor can I run RUU because I can't get the driver installed. Any help would be awesome. Thank in advance. Sorry I'm a noob at this.
In the dev section there is an all in one toolkit that will execute the correct scripts for you. Download it, then run it. You may also need the HTC sync drivers installed on your computer.
Once you see that the bootloader is locked run the ruu.
And don't apologize for being a noob, I am too lol. We all need help to get started.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
If you install HTC sync to your pc it should install the driver's you need. Then install the one s tool kit in developers section to relock. Then run ruu.
Also, anything you see in blue text is what you'll need to type, or copy/paste, to avoid any quote confusion.
Files You Need:
T-Mobile USA RUU file (mirror) - it's about 563 mb, and worth saving once you download it.
Extremely Important: If you're on another carrier you'll need a different RUU file - DO NOT try and run this RUU file, it could really screw you up. Go to this link to find the right RUU file.
HTC Drivers (mirror) - You probably already have the drivers installed if you're needing this thread, but just in case...
ADB / Fastboot (mirror) - same as the drivers, but again, just in case...
Initial Setup:
Again, some of this might be redundant as you might already have this setup if you rooted/unlocked.
Install the HTC drivers if you haven't already
Unzip the adbfastboot.zip file to your desktop (anywhere, but I find it easiest to get to it on the desktop for my habits)
Getting into the bootloader (hboot):
If you're stuck in a boot loop, pull the batt... oh wait, we can't do that here. To perform a hard reset, hold down the power button for 10 seconds - in the process you'll see the softkeys start blinking, then it should reset. As soon as it starts to reset, release power, and hold down the volume-down button - hold it until hboot pops up (white screen, colored text).
If you're phone is fully powered off (make sure "fastboot" is disabled - settings > power), hold the volume-down key and while holding it, press and hold power for a few seconds. You can probably release the power button, just make sure you keep holding volume-down - after probably 3-5 seconds (maybe a bit more), hboot should come up.
If the phone is on and you're plugged in to your computer, make sure "usb debugging is enabled" (settings > developer options), shift+right-click the adbfastboot directory on your desktop (or wherever you put it), choose "open command window here", and in the prompt that comes up, input adb reboot bootloader.
Restoring:
Once you're in hboot, make sure you select Fastboot (if you don't see it, you're in Fastboot already). In the command prompt referenced above, input fastboot oem lock. This will relock your bootloader in order to allow the RUU to run. Historically this has been necessary for an RUU to run, but I haven't actually tested it without relocking on the One S, and assumed based on previous HTC devices that this would continue to be the case. Edit: thanks rbrookstx for confirming that re-locking is necessary
Your phone will reboot when it relocks - follow the steps above to get back into hboot.
Once you're back in hboot, make sure you're in Fastboot, and open / run the RUU file. It'll go through some initial prompts, then it should start. It takes about 10-15 minutes, maybe less, depending on your computer.
Once it's done, it'll simply go back into hboot - reboot, and you're good to go.
A couple of notes:
When you unlocked and flashed a custom recovery (if you did that), hboot probably said "tampered with" and when it booted up, it probably had a red message under the "HTC" logo about being a developer only device. That should be gone now. It should boot up clean, and hboot should simply say "relocked", with no tampered message.
Until a better solution comes out, once you unlock the bootloader with HTC's official method, it can never be locked the way it was from the factory. "Relocked" is the best you can do.

This is what worked. I had to search the internet for this stuff but the HTC driver, the fast boot and the RUU with a matching or higher radio number all made it work out.
edit
I had the hTC EVO Design 4G as pretty much my first Smart Android. (Im not including the LG optimus M). The Switched to the Galaxy note & S3 for a while NOw Im using the HTC one S. I normally never have these problems or ever post on the forums. But Im desperate for fast help. I know how to do everything on both the htc evo 4g and design.
but The Ville is diff. without the removable battery
im blabbering....
let me try to STEPbySTEP explain my steps up to my not working Device.
!. I tried to Flash the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip rom through TWRP at first. (thats was the suggesttion in the thread. So that the recovery would Flash the correct Kernel. But upon reboot. I discovered that contrary to the devs suggestion the WiFi still didnt work. So I flashed CWM through ROM manager. reboot into recovery flash wiped cache/ factory reset. But I dont think I wiped system, data, or anything not in the main Menu, Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and I reboot. Upon reboot the HTC screen had the warning for use in htc do not distribute...then the bootanimation popped up and finally the booted up fine. Wifi was working this time. But now my network wasnt right. I didnt give the rom time to settle in though. I panic and open CMD and ran adb reboot fastboot.
Waited waited
now the boot loader was up. I had to unplug my deviice for the screen to show fastboot usb.
then this is where I think I ****ed up my phone
(I extracted the boot.img from the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and placed it in my android folder on C I also adb pulled my twrp recovery to
C:\android and renamed to recovery,img I wanted TWRP back I hate how CWM automaticaly boots when you plug it in tp charge from dead)
Now I had in my C:\Android\boot.img and \recovery.img.
I ran the command (im not sure if I ran boot or recovery first)Also my phone was anywhere near a full battery cloase to dead but my CMD window showed complete.
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash boot C:\android\boot.img
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash recovery C:\android\recovery.img
Now my phone is plugged into my Lenovo Thinkpad t410 with Win7 Pro OEM The red light to the top right isnt blinking like the battery to low to power on notification. Its steady. but when I hold down to turn on either the lights for the capacitie buttons flash untill I let go of the button or I do a combo of plugging in and out the usb and holding the power and volume bottons not sure Which order. PLEASE HELP! iM EXPECTING A PHONE CALL ABOUT A JOB INTERVIEW RESULTS.
In my time in CMD this error did pop up a few times. But I open HTC sync let it load. and then it would work.

why would you flash something made for HTC ONE S if you have HTC EVO
especially when you're just starting to learn about
sorry, but I would guess that you're chance is to find somewhere a ruu for your model

If you hold down the power button long enough the leds should stop flashing. You should try that and then once it goes off, hold down the volume down and the power button.
That should get you back into bootloader. From there you may want to try flashing a custom kernel (the SENSE version of Fusion, for example).
An RUU could help, but you would need to relock your bootloader in order to flash it. You would need to be able to get to your bootloader screen. RUUs are EXE files and are pretty self explanatory when you run them and have your phone connected. See http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html for RUUs. There is also a thread on RUUs in the development thread. Read that too.
But first things first, you need to be able to access your bootloader! Keep fiddling with your power button and volume down button.

can you reboot into recovery/fastboot? press the power button for 5-7 seconds until the keys start blinking;
the phone should reset after it
some RUU, you can find here:

I feel really stupid for not knowing THAT. Now whats up with the energy rom? the thread says stable. How am I suppose to flash it?
First off: I have an AT&T HTC one X
I am an almost total noob when it comes to this stuff so please bear with me here.
I had my roommate put cyanogenmod onto my phone when I got it and all was well until I moved to Asia and got an unlock code from AT&T to be able to use it over here. The unlock code wouldn't work and I found some stuff online saying that it might be a problem with cyanogenmod.
I followed a youtube instruction guide on how to get rid of the mod and everything was going fine until right at the end when I got a windows notification that the RUU had stopped working. I figured I would just do it again, but the actual program itself said it was successful. As I waited for it to reboot and load the roms, it started a loop. The loop is the white screen with the green htc letters for a few seconds and then it goes to a black screen with a phone logo in the middle. Around the phone logo is what looks like a recycling symbol except circular instead of triangular and on the screen portion of the phone logo there is an arrow facing down.
I assume this is just telling me I need to actually download some software on the phone, but it won't connect via USB and every time it starts up it says that the drivers were not successfully installed and htc sync manager doesn't recognize that a device is even connected. The loop continued and i tried to boot it back into the fastloader which did nothing. I held down the buttons as if to boot it into fastloader, but this time for about 15 seconds which took me to a battery charging screen and finally ended the loop.
I assume(hope) that since it's actually responding to input from the buttons that it's not irreversibly bricked. Is there any way I can get some version of android back on this thing? Any help would be much appreciated
Are you able to get the phone into the bootloader?
To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.
With phone powered on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
With phone powered off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
Please post the first five lines. Also, exactly which RUU did you try to use?

Happened to me as well..I reran ruu and then flashed a custom recovery. That symbol of charging with that arrow scared me. Lol

Before you attempt to run the RUU again it's very important that we find out what your current CID is, if it's still SuperCID and you run the RUU you could brick your phone. To do this you're gonna need to have a working connection between your phone and your PC, so you'll need to make sure you have drivers installed, and you'll also need to have adb/fastboot installed. Do you have any drivers currently installed? If so, how did you install them?

i have the RUU that I showed you and I just installed another RUU on my computer: RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_CINGULAR_US_3.17.502.3_Radio_4A.19.3263.13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed.2.exe but I haven't done anything with that yet. The only drivers I would have on my phone might be the ones from the original RUU I downloaded and ran which got me into this mess in the first palce, but I dont even know if they're on the phone since it's in its current state. I have adb and fastboot from downloading the android sdk slim pack. I also have HTC sync, but I'm not sure how that fits into the equation

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where on earth did you get that RUU? It isn't even for this device. Delete it now.
Drivers don't go on your phone, they're on your PC. HTC Sync Manager fits into the equation because it's the best way to get the drivers installed on your PC.
Uninstall HTC Sync Manager and the drivers that should be in the same sub-menu in the start bar on your PC. Uninstall any other phone software you might have on your PC.
Install HTC Sync Manager again, put your phone in fastboot mode, connect your phone to your PC, drivers should begin to auto-install.
Navigate to where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe on your PC (we'll call this your fastboot folder). Shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here, issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Please post the result.
Before we go any further, I need to be brutally honest with you. Once you have successfully run the correct RUU, which will return the phone to a stock configuration, leave it stock. Judging from your couple of posts here you're on a collision course to bricking your phone. You just don't seen to posses the slightest idea of what you're doing, couple that with owning a modified device, and the results are almost always disastrous. I'm not saying this to be cruel, I'm saying this because I'd hate to see you brick your device. The only way it's safe to have a modified device is if you're willing to put in the hard work of researching (days/weeks/months/years), and continuing to research to stay on top of this ever changing game.

ok i attempted all of this, but nothing happens because my computer won't even recognize that my phone is plugged in. So htc sync manager is telling me to connect a device and the command prompt just says <waiting for device> when I type in the command to figure out the CID.
Also, I take no offense from your warning. I wasn't going to try to mess with it any more after I got my the stock OS and my phone unlocked for asian networks. I really appreciate all the help

There's no point in attempting any fastboot command until you can get the PC to recognise the device. Are you using a usb 2.0 port, and the original HTC usb cable? What does it say on the screen of your phone when you connect it while it's in the bootloader? It should say fastboot, fastboot usb, or fastboot ac.

Tpank, use the snipping tool on your computer to post a screen capture of your fastboot adb folder. its the folder that you are running the command prompt from (or should be).
BTW thanks Timaaaaa for helping my friend out. When I unlocked his phone we didn't know he would have the opportunity to move out of the US to Thailand so I figured I would be around to help with something like this. Thanks again.
Why would we need a screenshot of the fastboot folder?

ok so it says "Fastboot usb". I am using the original htc usb cable. I'm not sure if it's a usd 2.0 port all I know is that it's an Intel 6 Series/C200 Series.
When I ran the command prompt it says:
<bootloader> cid: 11111111
OKAY [ 0.017s]
Ok, so you have a working fastboot connection now, right? The problem you face at the moment is that you can't run an RUU with your phone in the current configuration. S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick. Your only real option at this stage is to do this:
-Unlock the bootloader at htcdev.
-Flash TWRP recovery.
-Flash a ROM to get the phone booting.
-Get s-off via Facepalm S-off.
-Run the correct at&t RUU to return the device to stock
-Change the CID back to the at&t CID.
-Relock the bootloader.
-Go back to s-on.
That probably seems like a lot of work but it's the only way for you to proceed. I have detailed instructions for several of those procedures in the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature.

So I can;t get past the first step because it's not recognizing my phone still. When I ran the first command in the command prompt, where it should have listed my phone it says "List of connected devices" and nothing underneath it.
How did you get the CID?
Sent from my Evita
I'm not sure why I can find the CID and not get it listed as an attached device. I tried to run the adb devices command a few times and then ran the fastboot oem readcid command in the same window and I could get the cid but still cant get it to recognize the device
Are you attempting adb commands while the device is in fastboot mode? They won't work, only fastboot commands will work there, adb commands work while the phone is booted into the OS. Use "fastboot devices" while in fastboot mode.
