Hello everyone I'm new to modding htc. I bought a htc one x that can only enter download mode. Can someone help me to fix it.
P.S Yes the bootloader is unlocked
How do you know the bootloader is unlocked if the device is bricked? What do you mean by download mode? You're gonna need to provide more information than that.

Its soft bricked, download mode is entered when you press volume down and the power button. It doesn't have a recovery.
There's no such thing as a soft brick, a phone is either bricked or it isn't, so if your phone powers on at all it isn't bricked. You've got your terminology mixed up a bit, the screen you enter with the volume down + power button combo is called the bootloader screen. What details are listen in that screen? Is there a custom recovery installed, and if so, what version?

First, get rid of those pictures. Your imei is there.
next, that isn't a brick. You can turn it on and go to boot loader.
And finally, go to Timmaaa's help thread. All your info that you need is there man

I'm aware that people use the term soft brick, I'm saying that the use of that term is incorrect. A brick is a brick, it isn't subject to gradation, if a phone is bricked it will not power on at all. Your situation isn't close to being bricked, you just don't have an OS installed. You probably just need to install a recovery and then a ROM.

Just because folks use the term, doesn't mean its correct.
For this device, if the screen comes on, it can be recovered.
A brick is a phone that can't be recovered without opening it (replacing motherboard, JTAG, etc.).
Folks like to say "soft brick", but all they really mean is "I did something wrong to my phone, and now I don't know how to make it boot up normally".

under section 5 of that guide there is a section titled "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery"
I'm a noob at this so I was just wondering if that part is necessary to Odin back to stock in order to be able to return my phone to verizon. I'm rooted and have a custom JB Rom downloaded so I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock in order to update JB OTA and then return my phone to Verizon but I don't know what "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery" means so I didn't know if this is part of the process. thanks!
Bump. Also, another Q, in the link within that section (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-modems-vrlk3-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/) if that section IS something I need to do, which of those files should I download? Thanks again

All you have to do is flash this using Odin and you'll be back to stock Official VRBLK3 4.1.1. That file is on the xda thread you linked. It will wipe all of your data and lock your bootloader....it also flashes the radio. If you've used odin before this is probably a 10 minute process....very easy.
Lol. Sorry but I didn't understand your reply. I already did step one and downloaded Odin and the Samsung Drivers deals, then I downloaded that gigantic 1.2 GB 4.1.1 file, now all I have to do is steps 3 4 and 5 and I'm golden? Do I have to or not have to do that "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery" part? Also, where does the Samsung Drivers file come in? He never says anything again about them. Sorry man, I know I'm terrible at this. lol. Thanks though

No problem. I know this stuff is confusing until you've actually done it. Samsung drivers are only so that Odin recognizes your phone. I'll post the steps as I remember them. Open Odin, click the pda function (and check the box) and select the giant file you downloaded, put your phone in download mode (power off...then volume down, power and home at the same time..this puts you in download mode). Connect your phone to the pc....wait till it says connected at com port ....whatever. Click start....wait until it finishes...10 minutes. Your data will be totally gone and you will be stock JB. You want the Odin file you flash to be Official VRBLK3 4.1.1. Just as a reminder, THIS WIPES YOUR DATA SO BACK UP ANYTHING IMPORTANT.

ok thanks but quick q. it's still not saying connected and it's been a few minutes. It just says "Leave CS...." would it be safe to unplug my phone and shut down odin and try again or what do you think I should do? Thanks
EDIT: It finally just said something right when I posted this. It says added. Is this the same as connected?
EDIT 2: My phone says Odin mode in red. Do you think it's safe to hit start yet? What should I do? thanks
bump someone help me please! i dont want my phone to just sit in download mode with odin running and mess anything up can I hit start or should I unplug it and restart it or what?

Worked! You're awesome, thanks man.
So before I installed Cyogenmod months ago I forgot to backup everything but I didn't think it mattered as everything was running smooth. I try to update to a nightlybuild that was in my settings and TWRP said it failed. Every single time I tried to reboot or factory reset I would constantly go back to the TWRP screen. I've tried drag and dropping multiple roms onto the phone, find it and 'swipe to confirm flash' but it ALWAYS says fail no matter what. And when I try to go to reboot it says 'WARNING: No OS found.' I've been trying all day and I literally need this phone to work but nothing I do is helping. Please help? Or ask any questions you guys need to know.:crying::crying::crying:
How bout the specs on that phone?
Model, link me to the phone here on xda, link me to the support page of your manufacturers website, etc.
Sounds like a partitioning issue.

First, flash to stock based on carrier.
Taken straight from an xda forum post for the sprint model Here is a page that has the stock ruu's use the one at the bottom of the list.

Second, fastboot flash the latest twrp img for your evo. (Or however you got it on there in the first place.)

Now that you said it, I am stuck with CM 12.1 and want to go back to stock. I think I tried everything out there on this website to get it back but I cannot flash stock ROM successfully. Any ideas on how I get to my stock AT&T 2.3.5 ROM? I have TWRP 2.8.6.1 recovery up and running smoothly and can connect using fastboot/adb (although intermittently because asus hardware of my pc intermittently acts up and refuses to detect my inspire). Many thanks!
First off you have to lock your boot loader then you can run the latest ruu

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-inspire-4g-att/news/
You won't lose s off when you run this..to have phone be seen by PC (with the 5.0 android version you have) you must use SDK. Make sure your SDK is updated to 5.0+ versions. After that,to access bootloader,you must open platform tools folder in SDK and hold shift,right click mouse and choose open cmd here...cmd window "fastboot devices" if PC sees it,run ruu
---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------
People tend to misunderstand that you can use SDK to access your phone. Especially if the computer does not see the devices drivers

Once your device is back to stock, you can always unlock the bootloader again with HTC dev website
aaarrggh.. stupid me. I should've thought about locking the device. This is what happens with inexperience and jumping bandwagon in the middle. anyways. I rolled back now thankfully. Many thanks!! I have s-on so i dont think that matters. I don't think i will go through htcdev for unlocking it again because the whole point behind upgrading to 5.1.1 CWM was to use hangouts and dialer function. that is not working, so i guess i will just patiently wait for google to support GB (UNLESS YOU HAVE A BETTER SUGGESTION?????)

Was your phone rooted before it got bricked? Also, I can help you, but you will a custom recovery if your phone is rooted.

I have this same phone......rooted. Can use your help. I want flash any working verizon rom. But more importantly I want to know how to recover from a brick..............
Noticed you were able to recovery from a brick......with Odin? Curious how. I tried to flash a stock Verizon rom, while rooted with ODIN, and pit file.......but it fails.
I am nervous of trying to flash TWRP and custom rom, if I don't know of a full proof recovery method.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Last question, does that stock contain the modem (modem.bin)? My phone is unbricked but the EFS is messed up because I flashed a marshmallow update via TWRP and did not backup my EFS. I eventally had to restore my original 5.0.2 stock rom.

I'm done with XDA. Most useless site I've ever dealt with... I have a $400.00 dollar phone that is useless based on the information on this site. They say this file works for your model but....BRICK. No one test what they post as proven...Don't trust what you read on this forum. Go elsewhere...although there is not much else to go to...

Power off the device then try booting to download mode (volume down+home+power, press up when prompted). If you can get to download mode, try flashing the stock firmware.

i see 4 BGL version. How to understand which to install ?
I cannot enter recovery. I see the image i showed in first post
There is no a way -that I know of- other than trying to flash twrp, then doing a backup and moving it to the PC this voids warranty
The devices has no warranty.
Then go ahead flash twrp
What is your device model?

Of the 4 that you found, you need to install the one that works for the mobile carrier that the device is used with.

The OEM unlock setting itself has nothing to do with whether TWRP can be flashed. That is just a setting that "allows" you to unlock the bootloader, it doesn't unlock the bootloader, it only puts the device in a state that the bootloader "can" be unlocked if there is a known unlock method.
You can enable OEM unlock as many times as you want, that doesn't mean the bootloader is unlocked. The bootloader has to actually be unlocked using an unlock method.

No, you can't, that has to be changed in system settings, you can't get to the settings because of your screen.
Forget about TWRP. Just flash the same android version that the device had before the issue started and the data won't get wiped. When it comes to flashing Samsung devices with Odin, the only time it wipes your data is when a firmware is flashed that has an upgraded or downgraded bootloader compared to what was already on the device. Flash the same thing the device already had and you won't lose anything.

You need to slow down and pay attention to details about what people post when describing their issue. You are so impatient to answer that you are posting irrelevant and confusing information for their circumstances. They can't boot this device or get to settings. If they attempt to flash TWRP while their bootloader is locked, it could make things worse. Consider the consequences of what you suggest and consider that most people don't know what they are doing and don't know the risks involved or how to check that your suggestions are safe before they do them. They could blindly walk into a bigger problem.
In this situation, the bootloader could very well be locked without them being aware that it's locked.
In the future, I wouldn't suggest that they flash TWRP when the bootloader can't be confirmed. Stop making suggestions if you can't confirm anything.
Making suggestions without being certain of the state of their device will at some point lead to you telling them to do something that makes things worse instead of helping them. I know you really want to help, but jumping the gun and making suggestions can lead to causing more harm than helping.
Make suggestions that you are "certain" will work, don't make suggestions that "could" work under the right conditions. In this case, you can't be certain that flashing TWRP will work so you should not have suggested it, understand? If the bootloader is locked and they flash TWRP but it bricks the device because the bootloader is locked, what then? Bricking the device will be your fault because you suggested something without being certain. You should have asked more questions and gotten more information about the exact state of this device and it's bootloader status, then, if everything is correct, suggesting to flash TWRP would be safe.

Thanks for the advises
i've already asked them if they had it enabled, ik it will cause "custom binary blocked by frp" which means he wouldn't be able to do much but reflashing a system again
it was a question, but yeah i think I've made things complicated sorry
And thanks again
