[Q] Rogers HTC One X Bricked and need advice - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Cellphone versions:
Android 4.1.1
firmware Software Version: 3.17.631.2
I unlocked the cellphone, installed TWRP and SuperSu, rooted it. Everything was fine here.
I tried to install CleanROM 7.0R2 from TWRP. It said successful under TWRP screen. But after reboot, I could not power it up, their is no response to the power button.
I could not enter either recovery or fastboot. Press the power button and volume - will only lead me to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, and after several seconds, it powered off.
No red light upon charging. And PC could not recognize the cell phone when connected. The battery should still have 90% power.
Anyone has any idea for it? I am hopeless
Thanks a lot for your help!

Your phone isn't bricked.
If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM in recovery, full directions in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread (link in my signature).
You need to get the phone booted into the bootloader. 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.
While you're at it please post the first five lines of your bootloader screen.

Thank you so much for your help. Yes, I succeed to go to bootloader and flashed the boot.img based on your link. Now I had the ROM running.

[Q] How to get into stock recovery?

Can someone tell me how to get into the stock recovery?
Power up in to H-boot (power + volume down) and choose recovery from there. It could be power + volume up, can't remember 100%
Why do you need stock recovery? nothing interesting there as far as I could tell....

Do you meen press volume up and power when your in the bootloader? I could not get into stock recovery from bootloader.
No. When you're in bootloader, scroll down to recovery using volume keys and select it using power button. Phone will reboot into recovery. Then, while you are seeing pic of a phone with exclamation point, press volume up and power button simultaneously to show text.

That is the stock recovery. Hold power and press vol up (I think, been a while since I've used it) to get the menu.
You should flash a recovery first, man.....if I understand the problem correctly

looks like you intalled/restored the official recovery back
FIX!
enter in fastboot mode (vol + and power), download the official 4.0.4 images and follow the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307

[Q] TWRP flashed and now I can not get in to FASTBOOT

HTC One X Rogers
On the weekend I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 2.4.1.0 using Hasoon Tool Kit. Problem is that TWRP is running and will not go away. Cannot shut phone off, Cannot get original ROM up and running (was it dumped when TWRP was flashed?), when I try the power button and volume down to go to FASTBOOT all I get is three blinking icons at bottom (back, home and all screens).
To topi it all off because I used CWM recovery for my Nexus One and it has ROMS available I did not think of downloading one so that TWRP could flash it.
Can anyone give me some direction to go to get this back up?
I have been on a few forums, those I have used before with success getting answers, but so far no one has offered suggestions. And yes, I am a newb but need to start somewhere..
ANY help is very much appreciated.
Hold down power only until buttons flash at least ten times. Press and hold vol-down. Release power, still holding vol-down. You should reboot into bootloader. From there, use buttons to get into recovery.
You're going to want to downgrade twrp to 2.3.x as later versions have some issues.

This seems to also work with QHSUSB_DLOAD semi bricks from flashing bad kernels.
Thanks.
Now for the next step.

Thanks, that got me in to recovery. Is TWRP the recovery of choice or will CWM recovery work as well?
I appreciate you getting back with the correct way to get into recovery.

I have never used cwm so I can't say how it works now. The most recent version is official and should work. But twrp is the most popular one on this phone.

CWM vs TWRP
Thanks for the reply.
I will move forward with the TWRP recovery.

HELP! Is my phone completely bricked ?

Ok so yesterday I installed Viper One S 3.1.2 on my phone ( HTC One S - S4 of course ), first it worked perfectly and flawless then i rebooted my phone into recovery to install the wifi fix and camera sense 5 mod v0.2. After that, i reboot my phone again, and it did had the logo of htc and viper team, but when it booted completely, it only has the status bar and a black screen and then it rebooted itself after 15-20s and then stucked into a bootloop. Sometimes it boots as normal as it did before i installed those mods, i tried to hold the power button to choose the "boot in to bootloader" option but it didnt even appeared the power option So right now i can't not boot my phone into bootloader ( even by holding volume down and power button ) and recovery, It reboots itself so fast that my computer can't recognize it to run the RUU Is my phone completely bricked ?
Recovery TWRP 2.5 ?
Hboot 1.14
Radio < 1.20

Is your phone "S-OFF"?
You need HBoot 2.16 for radio 1.20. Otherwise HBoot 2.15 is recommended.
Turn your phone off by pressing Power for 10 seconds. Then press "Vol down and power" to enter bootloader.
BTW how about first READ whats required before installing a rom...
First and biggest mistake was to flash a mod that was not certified to work with Viper. In all the Viper threads (the old 2.x and the new 3.x one), it is stated NOT to flash any mod cause it might break the ROM. There are files replaced and those in Viper are tweaked by the Viper Dev team to work with Venom HUB and the themes and tweaks there. Mods usually replace framework-res.apk and if this happens you could have a non working ROM if the new framework-res file is not compatible with the rest of the ROM.
Follow the steps indicated by LS.xD to enter bootloader again. There's no reason for which you could not boot to bootloader again. Disconnect any power from phone, keep the power button hold for about 12-15 secs until you're sure phone is powered off (eventually you'll notice a faint flash on screen when it's turning off). Then hold vol-down and keep it presed while you press and hold power button for 2-3 secs. Continue to keep pressed the vol-down until the bootloader screen appears. Then go to recovery and reflash the ROM. Since you're on hboot 1.14, if you're not S-Off (you didn't mentioned anything about this), you should flash the kernel in fastboot. If you're S-Off you won't need this. Basically you should follow again the exact steps you followed first time when you flashed the ROM
And don't flash any mods again

HTC ONE S boot up to htc logo

hey i installed Viper 3.2 five hours ago.
After restart the homescreen was black so i tried a new restart.
Now i can only see the "Viper One S" screen and can't do anything.
power button don't work.. sometimes the phone vibrate 2 times.. can some1 help me? THX
did you wipe everything before flashing the new rom?
are you s-on or s-off? if you are s-on did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot?
did the softkeys start blinking if you push and hold the power button? if yes keep pushing it and hold the volume down button till your phone boots into the bootloader. from there on you can either flash the kernel or install a different rom via your recovery or if nothing else works you can run a ruu.
