[Q] Bricked HTC One X - please help

Before you yell at me for not searching, I spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this problem.
I tried to root my Rogers HTC One X, but after failing serveral times in changing the CID, I soft-bricked my phone when trying the method from How to root your HTC One X Tegra3 (for Windows, Mac and Linux) thread on modaco
Now my phone loads up on the HTC logo with red text, and just crashes. I tried to find a RUU, but I can't, only a OTA for my version.
Info
3.17.631.2
File Timestamp: 04/12/12
Publically Seen: 08/01/13
Android: 4.1.1
hboot: 2.14.0000
Kernel: 3.4.10
adsp: 31.1.0.45.0815
radio: 0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34
Could I use the OTA to do a factory reset, if so how?
I can't seem to find a RUU.
Would I be able to use a different RUU, that's a older version?
I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 installed as well, and can access it.
Thanks

Actually, it wasn't that easy, even after unlocking it says I wasn't rooted. My bootloader is unlocked, restore was flashed, and I get "tampered".
I had to install some kind of exploit that kept failing to change my CID.
Also, my HBoot says S-On, maybe one of the reasons I couldn't use root when I flashed it?
Bootloader says

Well of course you wouldn't be rooted after that...do you really think HTC would put out a program that would root our phones and then take responsibility? No.. you obviously did not read at all....once you unlock your bootloader you flash twrp than flash a Rom/ or root... Is that hard to read?

S-on has nothing to do with root. Have you installed a recovery? TWRP?

Yes, I ****ed up. I know. I didn't fully understand what I was doing at first, and just basically skimmed though a couple tutorials before I messed up my phone. If I can get this fixed I know for next time, and probably wont attempt something like this again until I fully understand it. I just want my phone back.

Your steps to freedom...
Download viper xl 3.2.3 to your computer (for now then you can switch roms)
Connect your phone via usb to your comp Go into twrp mount your storage and drag the Rom over to the phone where you'll be able to find it on your sd
Now go into the wipe menu in twrp select wipe system and factory reset..
Nowclicj on install in twrp find viper where you put in on your sd and click on and flash it
You now have a custom Rom/root/ fixed phone

Okay, I'm currently downloading the Rom you suggested, going to take a while. Pretty big. Also, when I mount the System, data, and cache, I get a message from windows asking me to format the J: drive. Should I continue?
Another question, after I flash this Rom, would I be able to reset everything back to the way it was? No Root, relock the bootloader, and reset the the main factory rom?

Whyd you mount system and data? ...so when you click mount menu you see mount system that should be uncecked mount data unchecked two others.. than you see u button halfway through the page that says mount usb storage...

Will the flash recovery still work, even though my S-ON? TWRP Says it needs to be Off?

You do not need to be soff just follow the directions

Can't flash anything, RUU isn't working.

So, I used to be an Android expert and knew what was wrong just by the symptoms of the problem, having had an iPhone for about 4 months has changed all that. I'm still familiar with some of the stuff, fast boot, installing a recovery, mostly basic things, so I come here to the community I uses to help in.
Here's my issue: Viper ROM was installed, and I wanted to try out Rebel ROM. Downloaded it, but wouldn't connect to my computer through the ROM, so I booted to recovery to mount the internal storage.
It wouldn't flash, stating an error, tried CleanROM, same error. Now there's no OS on the phone, so I decided to RUU so I'd have something too work with.
Its on 2.20 so I downloaded that one, and program ran fine till it told me there was an error and so I can't even have a stock ROM.
TL;DR It can boot to recovery, fast boot, but can't flash a ROM or RUU. Any ideas? Thanks guys for your replies.

Did you try extracting the boot.IMG from the ROM, fastboot flash boot.img. if your on 1.14 Hboot you'll need to do this.

The error is because you didn't lock your bootloader before running the ruu fastboot oem lock

My device is S-ON, so I should S-OFF it?
And no way to downgrade the hboot? I know you can't RUU down to an earlier version because of this.

Yes s off makes things 100 x easier and without s off you can't downgrade hboot through ruu

Thank you sir! With S-OFF, I can RUU back to an earlier version? I tried searching through the dev section, I mostly found ROMs, and a couple mods.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 here is our s off thread very easy after that you can flash the ruu and it will downgrade your hboot... I recokmend you flash to viper than you do s off..but I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec

Can't flash an OS/ROM

Okay so I rooted my one sv just fine and I went to put it back to stock I accidentally wiped the os off of it and for the past few days Iv'e tried everything to put a stock rom back on it but to no prevail. It fails when I flash a rom from my sdcard, adb sideload doesn't seem to work, when I try to fastboot flash a rom.zip it says "FAILED (remote: not allowed), and some other stuff as well that has not worked. My drivers are up to date, adb/fastboot works fine, I can still boot into twrp recovery mode, and my bootloader is unlocked (but still s-on). My rom backup got deleted but I have a stock rom of my device I downloaded that I know works. But as for now if I try to reboot the system it goes into a loop and twrp recovery says I still don't have an os.

Because you are S-On you have to flash the boot.img separate through fastboot. Extract the boot.img from this Rom. Then redo the process again and afterwards flash the boot.img through fastboot.

I tried this in a couple different ways: I did what you just said where I flashed the boot.img before flashing the rom in recovery then flashed the boot.img after and rebooted (it was still looping) then I put my sdcard in my computer extracted the boot file to my fastboot folder (again) then deleted it from the zip file and went back into recovery to flash but before I flashed it the second time I wiped everything (cache,data system,int_sd,ect.) then after flashing I hit reboot and it said "my phone wasn't rooted do you want to install superSU?" but either way if i installed it or not it didn't do anything. So is there some other method? or any way I could get S-OFF without an os?

Then place it back in the devices and restore
NOTE:
there is a file in the back up named boot.emmc.win

Looking for assistance with my phone. Currently it will not boot, but does take commands in Fastboot and Bootloader. I have an RUU, but it fails to read the battery level, and states it is below 30%. I extracted the ROM, and tried to zip update, but signature fails. I am very capable of following instructions, but have just hit a dead end. I currently have stock recovery due to TWRP not loading. I currently have 4.2.2 with Sense 5. If any other info is needed I will reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are most likely using the wrong TWRP due to your recent OTA.
Download and boot this one. They say it is only for K2_UL and K2_U but it will work for K2_PLC_CL as well. Same partitions. Won't work for K2_CL though. Different partitions lol.

I do from 10 days ago, that I successfully restored, however it is still getting stuck at boot screen. Potentially a hardware issue? Not sure...
I noticed it no longer displays how charged the batter is while powered down. It just shows an empty battery.

@c0nr0x
The boot.img has to be flashed when restoring from your backup because you are S-On. Take the boot.img (will be named something else - so rename it to boot.img). Then flash that boot.img using fastboot. That should resolve your boot issue after restoring your device.

It Has the text of press power to reboot in ewd letters, and some unreadable green letters behind it. Pressing the volume bar does nothing, and the HBOOT version stays the same.

You have to be S-Off to downgrade your HBoot. You are currently S-On.

@c0nr0x
When you wiped your device, did you wipe your system? Because if you did then that is why your phone won't boot even after flashing the boot.img. The boot.img has the kernel which is needed for your device to turn on and operate the android OS but without the system partiton then there is nothing to load from there so it will literally just hang on the splash screen which is that HTC logo. Can you confirm that you did indeed wipe 'system' from within the custom recovery and can you also confirm that you were running on 4.2.2. If both are yes, then I have your solution but it will need to wait until I am off of work, but I can get your phone up and going.

I'll go back a little further. I was on 4.1.x I beieve, and had an update. I backed up, put in stock boot and recovery. I then took 2 updates bringing me to 4.2.2. I was having data issues. No 4g, and intermittent 3g, so I wanted to s-off to reflash my radio. This is where it stopped booting (I ran rumrunner or bootleg), and had to wipe the int sdcard.

Here in your quote you said you were going to wipe. What exactly did you wipe? This is what I am needing an answer for. I believe I already know the answer. So when I get home, I am gonna share with you what you will need to get your phone back again .

I have used TWRP to wipe all at one point. Doing this is what enabled me to access the int sdcard. Prior to that I was unable to flash anything at all.

Ok, well basically, what is happening is you no longer have /system on your device. So when you flash the boot.img all is well but it hangs when you boot the device because there is nothing in the system partition to load. The system partition is what holds your system apps, frameworks, and so on. Without the /system you won't gain access to your device.

For these files would i use fastboot flash commands? If so, I haven`t flashe a system image before. Would it be flash sytem system.img?

I just remembered you are S-On. So unfortunately, system.img will be a pain for you. I'm booting up my pc as we speak. I will make a Rom for you to flash using TWRP. Ill be back with the link to download the Rom and with very easy instructions (so don't freak out lol).

Cannot access Recovery

Hey guys,
My phone died from the dreaded "qhsusb_dload" issue, and since I cannot afford the replacement phone I really want, I bought another AT&T One X.
I had my previous one since March of last year and I have gotten everything done with no issues, including S-OFF, upgrading Firmware to 3.17 to use JB 4.2.2 and trying various Radios and Kernels, so I do have experience.
With this phone, completely stock, I unlocked the Bootloader, and at the top it shows TAMPERED and UNLOCKED. I now have two issues:
1. I cannot get into the Recovery. I flashed it manually from "Fastboot USB", as well as with EZ Toolkit Advanced (Evita) and WinDroidXL Tookit and it showed it was successful with each method, yet when I try to access it, I get the boot screen with the HTC logo for about 3 seconds then it just powers off completely.
I researched and tried TWRP 2.6 as well as CWM from WinDoidXL toolkit. I have also ran the "fastboot erase cache" command after installing the Recovery yet I still have the problem. I installed gapps to accomplish the same thing but I don't wanna use it just yet.
I am asking for help as I am afraid of bricking this phone as well. When it powers off after failing to access the Recovery, it stays off for a while, and Device Manager even shows "qhsusb_dload" I have to hold the power button for a long time (and multiple times in some instances) before it powers on and boots into the OS.
Please help me get this working as I am afraid to try it again with the fear of having it bricked.
I do not have root access (I need recovery to flash t he Super User zip file first, correct?) and my HBoot is 2.14 (can't remember what it was on my last phone). Do any of those play a part in the problem i'm having?
Thanks so much in advance

Does the phone boot up into the OS? What are your bootloader details?

My phone works fine with stock ATT 4.1.1 that it came with, it's just the Recovery that won't launch, even though it appears to install fine when I flash it with fastboot.
My Bootloader shows:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-24p.32.09.06
OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219

Are you checking the md5 after downloading the recovery?

No, but I have tried 2 different versions from here, the one I had on my previous Evita, and I have also used the ones embedded in the WinDroidXL and EZToolkit Advanced (Evita).
I've seen others saying their phone ends up booting normally after selecting Recovery from the Bootloader but mine just powers off when I select it and I can't find a previous thread with this issue.

It's possible your partitions are a bit funky. Running the 3.18 RUU might help.

Would this be what you're referring to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390405
And if so, I can try S-OFF even though I don't have root access?
My CID is all 1's
My HBOOT wouldn't cause this prob?

You can disregard all that. I ran the install for TWRP 2.6.3.0 from the EZToolkit Advanced (Evita) then cleared the cache with the automated option in the same Toolkit, which I have tried like 10 times a few hours ago and now it's working... I swear all I did differently was leave the phone idle and plugged in for a while.
I'd still like to get the S-OFF done at this time. When I run "fastboot getvar cid" it returns "cid: 11111111" which means I have SuperCID and I can go through with S-OFF?
Finally, I cannot find a S-OFF guide for HBOOT 2.14 and ATT Firmware 3.18. This is for my HBOOT but not my Firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42631876
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485865 which states it's for 3.18 Firmware but shows nothing for my HBOOT.

S-off isn't specific to firmware, it works on all. Anyway, try Facepalm s-off.

You have no idea how terrified I am right now, modding a phone that is basically the same as the one that got bricked a few days ago.
Thank you for your assistance. I will indeed go with Facepalm as that's the one I used in the past
