My wife's phone, it's currently running CleanROM JL beta 1, android 4.1. it's been running this for over a year. time to upgrade it. i haven't kept up with development on this phone and now i'm totally lost.
bootloader says:
tampered
unlocked
Evita PVT SHIP S_ON RL
hboot 1.14.0002
radio: 0. 19as. 32.09. 11_2
eMMC-boot
...etc.
recovery is TWRP v2.4.1.0
i have no idea where to go from here. can i just drop a new rom on the sd card and flash it from recovery? don't have any software, adb etc and my only computers are macs. would love some advice or at least get pointed in the right direction. tried searching, but i'm just overwhelmed.
i would love to get as close to vanilla android as possible. thanks in advance for the help!
You can't do anything without first updating your firmware. For that you're gonna need access to a PC with an adb/fastboot environment on it. You need to get s-off, then update your firmware, then flash the latest TWRP recovery, then you will be able to update the ROM.

It's pretty straight forward, just sort out drivers, get s-off, flash firmware, and you're golden.

when you say "flash firmware" is that an ruu? it's been awhile and i'm not sure on the terminology anymore. i've flashed samsungs, htc's motorolas and nexus devices and they all have different approaches. i can't keep them straight

No, not an RUU, go to my How-To guide in my signature for details.

I'll quickly explain the flashing firmware. Firmware is basically the stuff like boot loader and radio. You need the entire firmware package updated.
So to do that, we have to get your phone into that mode that's like when you're taking a RUU. It's the black screen with a green progress bar. From there, we use an unusual command to install the firmware.
Just read the "How to Update Firmware" in my Sig and apply that method to any firmware package, as long as you're s-off and supercid

YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED. The term bricked means that your phone is a useful as a brick, i.e. if you can get into HBOOT, it's not bricked.
Gotta ask though, why did you not use the Hack Kit as its the only reliable method to root, my advice to you sir is when this gets cleared up READ AND EDUCATE YOURSELF before you really do brick your phone.
If you have a SDcard reader, pop out the SDcard and place one of the PD98IMG stock ROMs on your SDcard. From here you can reboot into HBOOT with the sdcard in your phone and HBOOT should pick up the PD98IMG and flash a working stock ROM. From here, you can root with the Hack Kit...
This will help you, read it and do what the stock ROM option...if you can get into HBOOT
I have tried doing that, it says loading image, then parsing, then goes back to the hboot screen, it doesn't say press volume up to update or anything else as I have read in many other posts. Am I doing something wrong? As far as not using the hack kit, I didn't really stumble on that until after it was to late, sure wish I had found it in the first place. Guess if I could just get it back to factory, I would accept that doing this isn't for me and not mess with it again. I am good at following directions, but nothing I have tried seems to work.

is the file named exactly "PD98IMG.zip"..you may also want to check the hide extension option to be sure its not hiding the .zip because if it is and you renamed it to "PD98IMG.zip" with the hide extension on, the phone will read it as "PD98IMG.zip.zip" and you would get that error.
haha and yeah man, we've all been there...I don't want to discourage you man, rooting is such an awesome experience and the hack kit is a pretty straight forward process, if you do the research and take the time to understand what you're doing, but lets see if we can help you out here first. I had the same issue you're having when I tried to flash a radio (same PD98IMG method you're trying to use) and it turned out to be the hide extension issue.
I had also verified that as well, I went under tools, folder options, view tab, scrolled down to hide extensions for known file types and unchecked... And, everything was correct, just verified to be on the safe side.

hmm, so its named PD98IMG.zip caps and everything? If its not working you m ay have to get a stock RUU and run it through fastboot..
This is why you should educate yourself first. You do not need to unlock the bootloader from the HTC dev site. Now you could flash the the stock ruu from the PC and then use the hack kit. Check the stickies in the Inspire general section for more help.

I understand that I should have been a little more educated first now, but I thought I had everything in order, thats what thinking gets me... I have tried running the stock ruu, but it gives the following error.
ERROR[155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I did notice the Image version the program shows is on the phone is 3.13.0.0, and it is trying to put 2.47.502.7 on the phone... Is this the problem? If so, whats the solution, I am so lost now its not even funny.... I apologize everyone.

Dalton, lock your bootloader again. Boot into fastboot and plug the phone. You will see fastboot usb at the top. Then plug your phone and open cmd session. Once there type fastboot oem relock. Once that is done, try flashing the .exe file in the HTC site (original GB update), making sure that you have HTC Sync installed.
If that fails, then I would try using the HACK Kit to gain S-OFF and root. You will then be able to revert to stock or flash a custom rom...
Had a similar problem when using aahk my own fault and I took care of it. Long winded, so short of it, are you trying to install through
1. hboot or 2. on the computer using HTC rom update?
I ended up trying 2. But ended up using aahk to finish.
HTC update errored out and the recovery portion would not work, just in a boot loop on HTC logo
This was good news as aahk could take over on USB during that HTC green letters white background.
I'd suggest reading the effen manual run the tool to get it up and going, figure out what you want to do. I've used it to return to stock with s off before go back into roms.
So look at those options know what you want and then power on the phone USB connected and during HTC screen enter your number the kit should take over and give you what you asked it.
That should give you a working rom image.

Glad you have it back....yeah you'd better read and make sure what are about to do it and of course what risks are involved before making a move....
Dalton,
I would suggest following glevitan's and willm's assertion of getting s-off and root to use custom roms. Custom roms are WAY better than anything HTC has to offer, and much easier to install, if you have an issue warranty wise, you can always return to stock. Just make sure you know how to flash correctly, search for it and you will find easy instructions, and if memory serves, a youtube video which helped me greatly.

you should probably update your recovery http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
in bootloader run these commands from the pc
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then on the phone try to get the phone to go into recovery. older recoveries had a hard time getting into recovery from bootloader.
if that doesn't work boot into your regular rom and run "adb reboot recovery" make sure usb debugging is turned on.
the website says "You must be S-OFF or have taken HTC's unlock to use a recovery on your device!"
I do not have a S-OFF device. Is it impossible to go into recovery? Should I try this method regardless?

Alright, is there a custom recovery installed on it? Go to recovery from bootloader menu and it it says TWRP or CWM then there is.
Edit: Also, I'm assuming you have no knowledge of adb and fastboot commands? Because you might need to learn. And did you try this ruu? It's for your firmware version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814217

Alright, so I'm assuming the problem is there is no ROM on the phone or someone did factory reset in bootloader. So if the ruu helps, great (it should). If not, then I'm sure we'll figure it out.
thats what ive been assuming as well im really hoping this works out and i do appreciate the help ive been trying to figure out for hours how to find the correct ruu that i need.
now just to be clear there isnt any kind of preperation or anything for this right? im just going to go into the bootloader and make sure the usb is connected and recognized and the open the file on my pc and let it do its thing...
i got about 20 minutes left on this download (my internet connection is poop out here) and ill let you know how it works out
thanks again :good:

Yup. Since you're on an older hboot there's no preparation needed. I'm assuming you don't really want to get into all this rooting stuff and just want a working phone? If you want help with rooting, come back here when the ruu is done, but if you like it stock, then you should be good to go :beer:
Ps take care not to flash 3.18 ruu or ota without advise. You are likely supercid and are s-on, a bad combination.

Did you relock the bootloader?
no i didnt relock the bootloader i didnt realize i needed to. i asked if i needed to prep in anyway before i ran it and i used the ruu that was recommended to me in the beggining of the thread...
if relocking the bootloader will solve my problem how do i go about doing that...
heres the name of the file
htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012

First do :
fastboot oem readcid and tell me what it says
if it's CWS__001 then do:
fastboot oem lock
And chill, your phone will work when I'm done with you.
it say
cid: 11111111

ok hopefully since it didn't say CWS__001 you didn't use the lock command.
do:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001 (be sure to note there are two "_")
then do
fastboot oem readcid
It should now say CWS__001
please confirm
nice ok ive changed it now to CWS__001
I really screwed up, I was installing a new OP and was wiping Cache, Dalvik ect... when I accidently wiped my external storage. Well I mounted my SD card and put an OP back on the sd card, installed through TWRP and I'm just stuck in a boot loop. Have tried several differnt OP's and all I get is the boot loop. Can someone please help me correct what I screwed up. Everything is gone, when I look under Android secure there is nothing.
I'm not sure what you mean by OP? Maybe you mean ROM? Anyway you need to give more information, what are your bootloader details?

Your correct, I was half asleep when I posted my question. I do mean ROM. What kind of information from the bootloader would you like?
S-off
CID-111111111
HBOOT-1.09.0000
OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219
Well you're s-off, so the boot.img isn't the problem. Which ROMs in particular have you tried installing? What version of TWRP are you using?

Lol I have a lot of spare time on my hands recently, I can't work right now due to health problems so I spend a lot of time on here. I've taken a lot from the XDA community over the years so I feel it's the right thing to do to try to give back and help people where my knowledge permits. I love learning, especially when it comes to Android and I think this is the best place to do it. I think the next step is to actually try to learn how to develop a ROM, but that'll have to wait until I get a new PC.

What would be a good RUU and how would you flash it? I don't want to lose root. Went through to much to achive it.
Root isn't the thing you should be worried about, the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery are what you actually need to flash custom ROMs. All root does is give you administrative access to the root directories on your phone.
You are s-off so it doesn't matter which RUU you use, click the link in my signature and you'll find RUU links in there. Your bootloader will remain unlocked and you will retain your s-off status through the RUU process. You don't "flash" an RUU, it's an exe file so you run it like you would run any other exe program on a pc. An RUU returns your phone to being completely stock, including recovery, so you'll need to flash TWRP again afterwards.

Would you be willing to explain the steps of installing the RUU. I think I know, just don't want to screw that up also. Once I get that far I should be fine flashing TWRP.
No worries, it's an exe file so it's pretty easy. Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc, then run the RUU exe program, it's as simple as that. Just follow the prompts on the pc, you just need to say ok a couple of times.
Just make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled, make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.
Just make sure you don't disconnect your phone while the RUU is running, sometimes it might look like the process is freezing (it sat on 27% for a while when I did it) but just let it continue, it should be fine.

Just tried running the RUU and it was not able to connect with my OneXL, it had been so long since I have done any of this I forgot when I was flashing TWRP almost a year ago, both my laptop and desktop were not able to connect to the phone, something to do with the USB ports (Windows 8). However, I have an old laptop with XP that will connect to the phone. I am leaving for work at this point and will not be able to run the RUU until late tonight. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks

Thanks so much timmaaa, got out my old windows xp laptop and the RUU is loading on the phone right now (@29%). For some reason my newer laptop and desktop will not put my phone into Fastboot USB. I think it has something to do with the newer technolgy of the high speed USB. But, soon as I hook up my old XP laptop it picks it up right away and switches into Fastboot USB. It's done, now all I have to do is put TWRP back on the phone and I should be back in business. Thanks
Okay, I ran the new RUU 1.85. I can't seem to get TWRP installed. I downloaded super user# and it says I do not have root. However when I boot into bootloader it says

As if by magic, it appears in the One XL forum.
I think your friend is telling fibs, phones don't just magically stop booting for no reason. Please tell him to own up to whatever activities lead to this situation, as embarrassing as it might be, I need to know how this happened in order to help properly.
Now, just to be clear, the phone is actually the HTC One XL, not the HTC One X. They look similar but are actually very different. What recovery is installed on the device?
Another question for you, why isn't your friend posting here and attempting to fix this problem himself? If he can't recover from a simple problem like this (or can't be bothered learning/trying) he honestly has no place having a modified phone. That might sound harsh but it's the truth, this is very basic knowledge, it's flashing 101. Knowing how to recover from something like this is an essential skill for anyone who owns a modified phone. If your friend isn't interested in being honest about what lead to this situation, or interested in learning how to recover from this situation, my only advice is to return to the device to stock and leave it that way. I'd strongly urge him to get on here and post himself, and do some reading to educate himself on the ins and outs of modified devices.

sorry for being so vauge
My friend is a lady friend who had no idea how the phone could have become modified. The phone is a HTC one X and my lady friend said she would love nothing more then to have a stock phone. My friend has no intrest in leaning how the in's and out's of HTC but, I on the other hand would love to learn about HTC and Android. I come from a n Apple community and have a little knowledge but not a lot.
Anything you can tell me would help greatly, and I would be indeed greatful.
Sincerely Nanamkin
The only option for you is to return the phone to stock, giving a modified device to someone who knows nothing about them and doesn't even want a modified device is a bad idea. I'll just reiterate though, it isn't a HTC One X, it's the One XL. Is it an at&t model? Can you please retrieve the software version from Settings/About Phone? Can you please enter recovery from the bootloader screen and tell me which recovery version is installed?

There is no TWRP 2.14 for this device, are you confusing it with the hboot number? Go to Settings/About Phone (where I said it would be earlier), and post the software version please.

im sorry i cant boot into the phone to check the setting/about phone for a software version. do you know any other way?
and while i was messing around i figured out how to install ADB and FASTBOOT and use it.
I'm an idiot, completely forgot you can't boot to check the software version. Facepalm. Can you please check the CID for me? Put the phone in fastboot mode and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

Ok. To get the phone back to stock you Erik need to run an RUU, but in order to do that safely you'll first need to get s-off. To get s-off you're gonna need a booting ROM on the device. Purely for this exercise I think Kickdroid would be your best option, head to our Android Development section and find the Kickdroid thread, download it, and use TWRP recovery to install it. Look in the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for full instructions on how to flash the ROM. Please note, you'll also need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM.

I thought you said you had the ROM on your phone? Did you just mean the zip? If so, go to the How-To thread in my signature and follow the instructions to install the ROM and flash the boot.img. Then you can go back to the Facepalm thread. Just make sure you boot up the phone and set it up before doing the s-off process.
