Hi,
2 days earlier, my phone became very slow, so I restarted. After the restart, Phone got hang on green color HTC logo. Before restart, I unlocked the boot loader. before turning the S-OFF my phone got stuck. Now boot nothing. only HTC logo. I went to the bootloader, tried to factory reset and recover from backup. but no result.
So I tried to install custom build rom. but can not update radio image. S-ON still showing. I tried for RUU. But no luck.
Can anyone suggest me, how can I do the S-OFF from bootloader and update the Radio as my phone is not booting to OS at all.?
Thank is advance.
I have unlocked my bootloader through HTCDev and the top says unlocked. I was on the other One X forum and flashed the CWM recovery and my phone just booted up with tampered on the top. And everytime i reboot or power my phone it powers itsself back up to the htc logo with the writing "This build is only for developers" and sometimes it just boots up to the bootloader. On May 11 i went to the HTC ONE X problem discussion and found my way over to AT&T / Rogers HTC One X and successfully flashed the CWM which it works. I still have the problem where everytime i boot up or power down my phone it automatically boots up and bring me to the HTC LOGO with the writings under or boots up to the bootloader.
I have tried factory reset and wipe system but nothing seems to work.
If any could help me please post a reply to email [email protected]
Thank you.
You probably need to flash the ruu

how plz thanks
hi everyone,
I could really need a quick solution.
I just received my phone from a screen repair and was going to root it.
I unlocked it first with htcdev and now it says juopunutBear and it's S OFF.
but when I'm booting it, it just stayson the HTC screen and when I select recovery or factory reset it goes into the reset screen for a little while and after that it returns to the boot screen.
If you can get to the hboot scrren it should be fixable.
You might be able to flash a new copy of a recovery from fastboot on your computer. That should let you reinstalled a saved rom.
You may also be able to flasha rom through a pm58img file in the bootloader.
If all else fails you should be able to run an ruu to reset it entirely and start over.

Thanks! I'm running the RUU right now, everything will probably go as planned!
i recently started another thread asking for help with my soft bricked stock htc one s.
i was basically playing a game, exited then rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop. tried to install various ruus but was unable to find the proper version/cid to install.
today i got the bright idea of unlocking the bootloader and installing recovery to avoid the issue of my apparent o/s corruption and just installing a custom rom.
unlocked the bootloader successfully, installed cwm successfully then try and boot into recovery, screen goes white with the htc warning about being for developers for 30seconds or so then it restarts into the boot loop at the htc quietly brilliant screen. though maybe there was a problem with the cwm so i tried twrp with the same problem.
does this mean im looking at a hardware fault or does anyone think it could still be software related? im kind of worried now as i probably just voided any chance of getting warranty from htc...
A recovery and unlocked bootloader will not help you get out. Now flash a custom ROM. Don't forget to flash the boot.img

Is there a way to flash a rom from Fastboot? I've tried fastboot flash system romname.zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img without any luck, appears I've made it worse as the bootloop loads to fastboot now...
I can't get adb to recognize the device, only fastboot commands work. It's weird though, I checked the log of the failed ruu installs and it seems to recognize the phone with adb during the install attempt. I've also tried mirroring the commands from the ruu log but I can't replicate the ability to access adb. I was able to get that black htc screen that pops up during the ruu install though, I dunno if that's a special mode for running adb commands or what it's for but I wasn't able to connect then either...
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
i broke down and spent $20 on a official ruu for my phone. it installed successfully but the phone is still stuck looping the white htc screen.
hoping htc honors my warranty, i unlocked my bootloader trying to fix this problem but its starting to look hardware related... unless there is another partition of software on the phone that could have become corrupted...

It happens sometimes, you should have just gone into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. But it's too late lets move on...

Sounds like the kernel didn't get put, you know the part where you are supposed to do fastboot flash boot boot.img. But it's too late lets move on...

As long as you can get to bootloader you can recovery the phone (as least that's my experience)

Yeah you made it worse, since it only loads to fastboot now, most likley you caused a problem with your recovery. But that's real easy to fix.

That's a real mess, just stop whatever you're trying to do there.

Where did you spend the $20? File Factory? An RUU shouldn't fail to the fix the problem. I would suggest you just unlock it, install a recovery and then your rom of choice. Even if it's just a rooted stock ROM.
If I was in your spot, I would do this.
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install TWRP - Do a factory reset, then wipe system.
3. Flash a custom rom
4. Boot into bootloader - fastboot flash boot boot.img.
5. Reboot

1. have done so
2. tried it as well as cwm, phone will not boot into a recovery, doing so just loads into the loop
3. tried without luck
4. tried this as well after flashing rom and still same problem
running the ruu removed the "tampered" message from bootloader as well as stopping the loop from loading into fast boot, it also removed the red developer text from popping up when booting. however the phone is back to its original problem of looping the htc quietly brilliant screen. ive run the ruu twice now without any change.
if the ruu cant fix the problem im doubtful messing around with custom roms will. there is clearly some kind of problem with the phone causing the loop. as far as i understand a ruu completely wipes all the data on the phone and reinstalls all the partitions from scratch.
ive just sent htc an email seeing if theyll cover it for warranty, hopefully they will stand behind their product, as i was not the cause of this problem...
i got the ruu from football, he is the one who posted the thread with all the stock ruu's and he was able to track down the proper one for my phone...

You're in a ****ty spot then. There might be one or two ways to still recover but it sounds like your chances are getting slimmer. I've seen a few other reports of completly stock One S's taking a ****. I hope HTC fixes it for you.
htc said this regarding unlocking the boot loader when i asked about coverage with my problem. looks like they may still cover it. im betting there gonna take the easy way out and just say its not covered when its all said and done though. ive read horrible things about htc customer service...
Not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. There are several possibilities of what may have caused this issue, that are covered by the warranty, in which the unlocking of the bootloader would not be a problem. We advise you to contact our tech specialists as they will let you know if this procedure will be covered by the warranty.

Ok here is what i did. I had s-off and i wanted to go back to stock so i used the RUU zip and then unrooted i then re locked my bootloader and went s on again. From there everything looked good until i rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset. Now all the device does is boot up to the H boot screen and says TAMPERED, LOCKED and SECURITY WARNING. Im guessing the OS is gone now and that is why it doesnt boot past the h boot screen. I cant flash anything because i have factory everything on here and im s on just not sure what i can do to get out of this state. Please help. Ive looked through google and all the forums but cant find an answer so this is why im asking.
im in the same boat as this guy. without htcdev I cant unlock the phone to load an OS again, and without and OS I cat firewater to unlock the phone. basically I have a fancy paperweight that runs fastboot. can anyone help with this. please.
