Okay seems like i did a very stupid thing.
Main Information
HTC one XL - Telstra branded
It was rooted with the one click root
but thats all, no boot unlocked or cwm stuff
I was messing around with RomToolBox Pro, and figured i should change the font,
Phone says it needs to restart. i let it restart but it gets stuck at the screen that says HTC One, makes it past the first HTC screen and the Telstra Screen.. but gets stuck at the HTC One w/ Beats Audio.
i tried a hard reset -> factory reset.
but that didnt work.. so now that i've lost everything i need to figure out how to make it past the boot screens.
Any help will be Good.
(i knew i shouldnt of messed with the font.. but whats done is done)

Since you are unlocked ... download the TELSTRA RUU from the dev thread , connect your phone to your PC and run the RUU installer ...
EDIT: here's the link to the latest telstra RUU if you are interested ...

Finding the appropriate RUU for your device, and running it, may solve your problem.
thanks!
it worked..
now to get bak to where i left off.

after the phone has had about 10 minutes use the bottom of the screen seems to not work
usually i cant unlock the screen to answer calls, or if it unlocks when i press the phone symbol it changes to green but doesnt open the
application, and i had read some where that this can be caused by the operating system
hence i fancied returning the phone to standard to see
cheers
in Android Development forums, one of the first posts is an INDEX. in it you can find 2 solutions:
Stock pre-rooted rom: i recommend installing this, since it is very easy to do, and it will most likely solve all your problems, without removing root access.
Downgrade guide: you can downgrade your phone to get a factory reset, but it is kind of tricky, and you can mess up easily. Still, if the first option doesn't work, take some time to read and go for it.
Earlier today I tried to update my HTC One X's firmware to 3.18 in order to install the latest cyanogenmod nightlies. First, I was confused at why the latest cyanogenmod nightly would not flash so after looking it up and figured out I needed to update the firmware but to do that I would have to relock the bootloader. Second, I had issues trying to relock the bootloader, eventually got that (did not know adb was updated). Third, after believing my nightmare was over, I quickly decided I would try to flash the latest evita ruu, which completed without any errors and I clicked finish. (RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed) straight from HTC's website. Finally, after a few minutes I noticed that my phone did not have a notification led, nor was it booted into the lovely (opinions may differ) HTC sense 4.1.
That is the story of how my phone got to the state it is in. The state being no lcd in any way, no notification led, but I can still hear the phone being plugged into windows and can hear it shut down and turn on (with the windows usb sounds) when holding the power button and pressing it as if it worked and I was doing a hard reboot(about a 10 second press to shut down and get the usb disconnected noise). (Tried both adb devices and fastboot devices neither showed a device). Never have I seen this before and if I can get it working hopefully I will never see it again. Hopefully XDA's member's genius can make up for my stupidity. (most likely my fault being too hasty and skipping a step :silly.
Any questions about what I did or how I did it. Please ask!
Hey bud,
sorry about your troubles. I myself have just updated to ruu 3.18 and hboot 2.14 in order to flash the xylon rom. I'm not an expert at this: I'm just another person trying to get the best (vanilla) experience from his phone! Here's a couple things I noticed in my 9 hour trial & tribulation in going from 3.17 ruu + 1.09 hboot to the latest updates:
my pc also did not read my phone on a couple of occasions. Some parts of the process, I believe you have to be on your regular screen and the phone will reset into fastboot on its own. Later on, I had relocked my bootloader before I was supposed to, and was unable to write much. I just went back to step 1 and re-did everything (had to dig up a thread on unlocking my bootloader via htcdev).
my best friend helping through this was the hold power + vol down button. i kept going to stock recovery & rebooting my phone OR into fastboot and see which place I was supposed to be at.
as for your LCD being completely dead...I haven't come across that issue. The closest thing was when I was in RUU mode and there was only an HTC logo on the screen.
if you'd like, pm me and I can msg you the xda threads I used to get through it. I'm not sure how to approach the dead LCD, but I hope it all pans out for you.
I just wanted to share my experience, as a non-dev nor extremely savvy techie, I feel your pain brother.
Its not that the lcd is dead (unless it died after the ruu flash finished along with the notification led), more like it just wont turn on, along with the notification led, Where it would usually be on when plugged in, it just no longer turns on. Anyway thanks for your sympathy, I managed to jam the nano sim into my HTC arias micro sim slot without an adaptor (cyanogenmod 7 is its latest), so yeah at least I have a phone for the time being XD.
You flashed 3.18 with supercid and s-on. If you have supercid you need s-off before ruu to 3.18.

In other words, if you RUU'd with SuperCID and s-on, you're probably bricked.

So far, from what you guys have posted, i'm out of luck on fixing the brick by myself. I do not know if either of these are an option so, again, fix my stupidity. First, I found a hard brick repair (mobiletechvideos, can't post link yet :/) which I have seen mentioned on the website a few times so I want to know if it can fix my brick and if the repair is worth trying. Second, is replacement from at&t/ HTC an option? Of course if anyone wants to comment a fix on my first post please do .

Jtagg is probably the best option, if you're within a year you can try sending it to HTC, if they figure out how you bricked, which is possible, they will charge you ~$200USD to replace the board.
Good luck.
If you ran the RUU with SuperCID and S-on, its bricked. JTAG is likely your only option to get the phone running again. You can look into the unbricking thread in General, and the JET tool in Development. But to my knowledge, nobody has been able to unbrick from this condition (SuperCID + S-on + RUU or OTA), short of JTAG. Yes, Mobiletechvideos has been mentioned on here as on JTAG option. Can't vouch for them personally, but others on here might be able to.
If you phone is less than a year old, you can likely get a warranty replacement from AT&T. Ethically, its a bit of a gray area IMO. I'm usually not crazy about people making warranty claims for failure to read, and as a result of you having modded the phone (which SuperCID is). But in reality, it shouldn't typically be expected for RUU plus SuperCID to brick the phone (past RUUs have run fine with SuperCID).
HTC is typically less forgiving about warranty issues. So no reason to try with them over AT&T. AT&T will pretty much honor the warranty for anything but obvious physical damage. They don't care if the phone has been modded, or bootloader unlocked (not that they would even be able to tell in your phone's current condition).

I was bricked too.
I tried to relocking my bootloader and flashing the offficial jellybean without doing S-OFF first and bricked mine. I tried everything here at XDA with no luck. I gave up and sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me running the official jellybean update in 2 weeks. and without any charge. I even got it back on my birthday. It is running smooth and fast with no lag at all.

I have installed the RUU file which you have shared in the link above.
Please help me I need my phone in the working condition.
You're in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL forum, you want the HTC One X+ forum.
But, have you actually attempted to run an RUU from this section? Any RUU you find in this section is not for your device.

Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!
Sorry to say it after you've written such a lengthy post, but you're in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL (at&t One x) forum, they're completely different phones. You'll need to ask in the HTC One X forum, we don't know enough about your phone here, sorry.

Hi,
So a couple of months ago I managed to root my htc one to get the google play edition rom on. Anyway I kinda got sick of the rom and wanted to unroot my phone and everything so it was back to what it was when I first bought it. I tried looking around on youtube videos on how to do it but they mentioned something about needing an RUU and couldnt find the correct one for my device (im on O2 UK). So then i started messing around with the recovery mode and now I think my phones bricked as it keeps looping the 'HTC quietly brilliant' thing over and over again. I REALLY need help on this as I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting and ive been looking around on forums and all the things they suggest to do made no sense to me at all so can someone please explain what i have to do now?
Thanks in advance

One this you could do is reformat the phones partition and then reinstall the stock rom on it. This occured to me on one of my phones and it seemed to do the trick.
