So I was restoring to a RUU a while ago in an attempt to get S-Off. Well it didn't work out and it failed half-way during RUUing.
When I connect the computer, Windows detects it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD". Parallels detects it as a "Qualcomm Composite" device and I can tell Ubuntu and OS X is detecting it by running dmesg. I've tried two unbricking methods on Ubuntu, am I doing something wrong? I just wanna be able to be able to turn it on and have it working. Can someone help me?
Couple of things. First witch ruu did you run. Second what unbricking methods did you try. And third were you s off before the ruu or s on.

I ran
Code:
RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial.exe
I tried "HTC Unbricking Project" and a fix from here
I was S-ON before running the RUU
I tried the fixes in 64bit ubuntu 13.04 via parallels.
Could you please provide a link to the ruu

You've bricked your phone, it's very well documented within our forum that s-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick. Your only option now is to have a jtag repair done unfortunately. Out of interest, what made you think you needed to (or could) run that RUU in other to get s-off, or before having s-off?
PS. I see now that only after bricking your phone are you reading the PSA that states not to run that RUU while s-on. It's a bit late now, but this is case in point why research needs to be done before the fact.

Go here showthread.php?t=2119610 and under the At&t tab scroll down to version "3.18.502.6". That's the one I downloaded.

There's no need for a link, it's the 3.18.at&t RUU that bricks phones if they're s-on + SuperCID.

I cannot remember because it's been quite a while before I attempted this, but I followed a Tutorial on xda of how to do s-off.
----edit
and I didn't believe I could obtain S-Off through just running the ruu, according to the post I read it had to be done. Also I remember resetting my CID (if that's even possible). I did something with it before doing this as the post said to do so.
I hate to say it, but there isn't a single tutorial within our forum that states you need to run that RUU in order to get s-off, I know because I've read every single thread in our forum and am experienced with this device. The only mention of this RUU in regards to s-off is to avoid it if you're s-on, because clearly it bricks s-on devices.

Alright, could you point me in the right direct for jtag repair? Or to buy the tools to do it myself? I wanna learn this type of thing because I may get a job repairing phones soon. (which it's really just replacing screens but I'd like the knowledge anyway)

Well I'm pretty sure it was reset but since you said the only way to fix it was through jtag repair, I figured it wasn't possible and what I read wasn't true (since you seem to be an active member and know what you're talking about)
I wouldn't suggest you even attempt doing a jtag repair unless you're already well versed in the process. In the US it should only cost you about $50 through xda user zarboz.

I remember the CID said to be what it was supposed to be. I wouldn't have attempted the RUU if I wasn't for sure I was doing it exactly like the post said. I wish I could find the post, it's been a while since I've attempted this. The only reason I didn't really work on it after I bricked it was I got caught up in doing other things and I forgot about it.
Ok, well if your CID did indeed revert to the original CID there's no logical reason why the RUU would brick your phone. You could have just gotten very unlucky, it's very rare but an RUU can brick a device for seemingly no reason. Contact zarboz and enquire about him doing a jtag for you, he's a good guy. If you can find that post/thread though it'd be great, I'm very curious to see what it says.

Sent from my Evita
Alright thanks! I'm actually debating on if I should go through with this. $50 is a great price but it also has a crack in the screen and I was intending on eventually selling it.
I'm not sure if after getting it repaired via jtag and replacing the screen that it'll even be worth my time in the long run ha
But I'll keep this guy in mind, let's say my Galaxy S4 gets in a similar situation (gosh I hope not, I'll take more precautions from here on out) but incase it does can he repair all phone brands that need jtag-repaired?
You'd have to ask him which models he supports, I'm not sure.
Sent from my Evita
I'd suggest contacting HTC as well just in case. I had a QHSUSB_DLOAD brick & I called them and they fixed it for me. I know another user here who had similar results with a bricked device. I called and told them it cut off and wouldn't cut back on. They completely reset the phone, but all I had to pay for was shipping.

it was working fine for about 48 hours, one of my friends said he knew how to change code on the phone so it would stop shutting off but apperantly it didn't work. And yes i factory reset it but im not the greatest with phones so i never tried to unlock the bootloader, nor root it

Prepare to sell. That's why. Totally legitimate reason. Average consumer does't need lot.

You need to make sure it's s-off, then you can run an RUU and relock the bootloader.
Sent from my Evita
Selling an S-off device to an unknowing consumer is not the best idea.
Probably better to change the CID back to the correct CID (if device is presently SuperCID), then run the RUU. Be aware that running the RUU with SuperCID will brick the phone.

I never implied that your reason was not legitimate. Just needed more info to properly answer the question.
For instance, lots of people here ask how to unroot for warranty purposes. Which if returning to AT&T, is not necessary.
Rumrunner S-off for HTC One XL!
Firstly let me say that this isn't my own work, all credit goes to @beaups and @Fuses for bringing this to our device.
Rumrunner is a new method for achieving s-off on HTC devices. This method does not require SuperCID like Facepalm, the only requirement on your device is root and an unlocked bootloader.
So, all you people that took the latest update from HTC that gave you write protection on the 2.15 firmware/hboot, this method should give you s-off.
This is just a simple thread to get this method some exposure for users with our device. As per the licensing section on the site and beaup's wishes I cannot include the download or instructions in this thread. However, we can have this thread serve as a troubleshooting/help location for the One XL. Alternatively, support for rumrunner s-off is available at #rumrunners on the freenode and andirc networks. Please make sure you meet all of the requirements before contacting support.
Rumrunner S-off.
Please go give beaups and Fuses a bunch of thanks for their work!
Sent from my Evita
Nice, for some reason I never soff'd my phone yet. Time to do it.
This does wipe system correct?
I haven't tested it myself as I got s-off on my phone ages ago. Best thing to do would be to backup anything that's important. Please report back with your findings.
Sent from my Evita
sorry for my bad connection (repost)
YEAHHH, u' re rock rumrunner, success to s-off for my telstra one x hboot 2.15, but why my cid is still TELST001 ?? no problem if i try to flashing any rom ??
Your CID is still TELST001 because you've never gotten SuperCID. Rumrunner gives you s-off but it doesn't change your CID. Now that you have s-off you can change your CID manually as many times as you want by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
The x's there represent the new CID, if you want SuperCID it will be 11111111 (eight 1's).

Hey tim, i am SO stoked to see that this has been released.. just having some issues getting through the process, the usb drivers are updated, the adb connection is working, i tested the connection before running rumrunner, the phone itself resets through the first test, it loads into fastboot, then resets a second time into android os, at which point it has the error 'must ferment longer.... must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty. hold please...' then it just says press enter to exit no s off.. i am ruing kickroidXL v3.0.0 which runs adroid 4.2.2 sense 5.0 and obviously im on hboot 2.15. perhaps if i restore my original system image i will have some more luck?
attached is a screenshot of my rumrunner shell
You could try restoring your backup, or flashing back to an Android 4.1 ROM and attempt it again. I'm not sure whether either of those will help but it's worth a shot. If you don't have any luck you can contact the guys for support on freenode or andirc.
