Bootloop issue

I am having issues after i flashed this Stock AT&T Deodexed JB 4.1.1 | Official AT&T 3.18.502.6 Update Rom..After htc logo at start up all i get is a blank screen and nothing else.S-off,unlocked bootloader & using TWRP here..
Need help as i am clueless right now :crying:
PS:Using At&t One x...Coming from a Nexus..Never thought that i'll get into this much trouble

Versions of TWRP after 2.3 have been known to be problematic. I'd try to install TWRP 2.3, or the official CWM.

So you mean to say that i should try 2.3 TWRP and try to flash the Rom again?

Can i run RUU after relocking the bootloader?
My PC can detect the phone in fastboot mode..

Precisely. What version of TWRP are you using currently? If its the latest (2.5.0.0), I'll bet this is the problem.
TWRP 2.3 seems to be the most stable version. I believe 2.3.1.1 is what you want. If you look through the TWRP thread, there are some folks that have posted links to this older version.

Since you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

HTC security can be a pain. But they aren't the only manufacturer with security measures. Every Android device is different. Don't blame the device. Learn, adapt and conquer.

If you have s-off you should be able to flash RUUs to your heart's content, recovery has nothing to do with it. You can try the other twrp by flashing it in fastboot then try flashing the rom again, or try another rom after transferring it in recovery

I think OP is asking about RUU as an alternative, just to get the phone back up and running again; not as a way to install the stock rooted ROM he linked.

Ok guys thanks for the suggestions...
Yeah i was using TWRP 2.5.0.0...
I had no other choice but to go for RUU...But first i did relock the bootloader & then went for the RUU..
Whole process went smoothly & i got the phone booted up fine..Today i learnt a lesson..Never ever flash anything without doing a backup first..
Yeah i know..I had Desire HD once & i dont wanna think about how i rooted it lol.& today i got stuck in another Htc device..Well it was my mistake in the first place because i forgot to take a backup of stock Rom..
Anyways i wana ask something else now..i used fastboot oem lock command to relock the bootloader..Now how to unlock it again?
htcdev method?I already have the Unlock_code file..
Also now can i flash 4.1.1 RUU this time?Right now i am on 4.0.4..
Thanks guys once again..All of you really were of great help..

Okay i can unlock it again using this command 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin'

I don't recall the exact syntax. But you can reuse the unlock token, with the same fastboot command you unlocked with originally.

Why? Did you try to just flash TWRP 2.3.1.1 (or newest CWM) then re-flash the ROM as previously recommended?

No..Actually i just pressed my panic button & went directly for the RUU without wasting any time :silly:
Left the recovery as it was
If it was the recovery issue then so sad..Ive been using Twrp in Nexus 4 without any issues..I wonder why it gave me trouble here..

Now i am in search of 4.1.1 RUU

[Q] Nexus 5 Stuck on Google Logo

Hi,
I just wiped all my data from the device using TWRP without Unlocking the bootloader . Now I'm stuck @ google logo screen
is there anyway to unlock the bootloader (Fastboot & adb cmds aren't working) /install the Android OS ?
Pls help...

Gokul Krishnamoorthy

i cant comprehend what you were trying to accomplish in doing this. i also dont understand how you were able to install twrp without unlocking the bootloader, unless you relocked it after installing twrp. you wont have fastboot commands with it being locked.
can you boot into the bootloader? if so, unlock it, if that's what its gonna take to fix your errors

I think you are confused on what you did/ are trying to do. If you hold volume down and power button it will take you to fast boot, if you can get there, you are in good shape still.

why would you relock it? People unlock it for a reason, not to just install a recovery wipe the phone and then relock it.... That would not make sense and you can wipe it using factory reset.

Help: Rooting Didn't Work... So Trying to Unroot, Not Working Either... Need Advice

Hey guys,
I just got this phone a day ago and wanted to try out the Cataclysm ROM today.
I was following the following guide on how to root the Nexus 5:
androidrootz.com/2013/11/how-to-root-nexus-5-windowsmaclinuxubun.html
I got up to step 9:
9. Connect your Nexus 5 to your computer and transfer "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip". This file is located in "RootNexus5" folder you downloaded earlier.
But it didn't allow me to transfer the file to the phone.
I assume it is unrooted, cause it says unlocked and it has an unlocked photo when I boot up my device. But I don't think it was fully rooted?? (I'm assuming because I wasn't able to complete the final steps).
So I decided that I'm just going to unroot it and stick with the stock ROM.
Any thoughts on how I can unroot it? Would it be okay to use Wugfresh's unrooter? Even though I didn't use it to root the phone?
wugfresh.com/nrt/
Please let me know. Thanks!! :good:

since your bootloader is already unlocked, just fastboot flash a custom recovery and then use adb to push the rom you want to your phone.
there are several threads on how to do this.

Thanks for the quick reply; I'm looking to revert back to stock and unrooting my phone.
I tried using wpug's tool, but it says ADB device not found... I'm using windows XP for what it's worth. I'm stuck...

if you never rooted your phone, its just unlocked bootloader so its still stock.

Thanks Zep.
I'm not even sure if I rooted the phone or not, but I got up to step 9 of the following guide (did not complete step 9)
androidrootz.com/2013/11/how-to-root-nexus-5-windowsmaclinuxubun.html
Is my phone fully rooted?
I'm attaching two photos of how my phone looks when:
1. I hit both volume and the power buttons:
SECURE BOOT - enabled
LOCK STATE - unlocked
2. When I boot up (picture of unlocked lock)
If only my bootloader is unlocked, how do I lock it back? I want to have it back the way it came from Google incase I need to return for warranty purposes.
Thanks a lot! :good:

1) your phone is not rooted if you did not flash supersu.zip which you said you didnt.
2) to lock your bootloader use: fastboot oem lock.
^ there is a return to stock thread on how to do this.

Those pics won't show if you're rooted. By your description I doubt you are. You never flashed supersu.
To lock the bootloader do
fastboot oem lock.
You should follow this guide to unlock and root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47025283

Thanks gentlemen. Will read up on fastboot oem lock, try it out, and advise on results. :good: Fingers crossed...

If you are getting device not found when you try to use ADB, that means that you either don't have the right drivers installed, or that you are not using a 'good' USB port. Try a different port.

Yes that one... we assume you fastboot flashed recovery so you need to return that too.
If you don't know what you've done, follow the whole guide and fully return to stock.
Otherwise, cherry pick what you need from the guide

Locked Bootloader.....totally locked

I finally managed to flash a working version of the COS version 1.2 to my OPO 64GB (China set) and it works fine except now i notice my bootloader is totally locked and i've tried 2 other tookits from XDA and manually tried to unlock the bootloader using command but still unsuccessful.
Has anybody got any experience with this?

Well....this is what i'm getting :crying:

Might be a small thing and might not help... but can you run "fastboot reboot" after the oem unlock, let it boot into Android, then reboot into fastboot mode and try to flash recovery?
Remember that when you oem unlock you wipe the device.

If it's auto rebooting into recovery after the unlock, something is definitely wrong. Sorry, not really sure. It should reboot into whatever Android build you've got installed. In TWRP did you try re-flashing whatever build your device came with... try to start fresh? I know you can download the CM 11S builds right from CM, not sure about ColorOS.

Relock bootloader

Yes but at this moment don't, BC if something goes wrong u have no way of fixing it unless u call oneplus and wait for them to give u a remote session, don't be scared to have ur bootloader unlocked

Someone else will have to verify as my OP6 is still shipping but..
YES, OnePlus 6 should still be able to go complete back to stock as it always has.
The same procedure as the 3, 3T, 5, 5T will likely follow:
if you flash a complete stock rom such as (this is a OP6 stock rom): androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207488340
then while booted into fastboot mode: fastboot oem lock
This is a standard procedure for OnePlus devices and I'll test it out once I get mine.
The rom i linked to is the stock rom, an OP moderator linked to it.
And the fastboot command is just a standard command. So unless they decide to screw their main audience this time around, :good:.

Obviously you have to have you bootloader unlocked.
What are you trying to say? I can't follow your sentence structure. Please use proper English structure... or remotely proper...
You're claiming that with the OnePlus 6 you can no longer sideload roms? What??? That would be a HUGE slap in the face to us.
I wouldn't believe what this guy is saying.
I'm not claiming I factually know that the OP6 can be unlocked through that method but it is highly likely it is. As said, I'm still waiting on the OP6. If OnePlus doesn't allow these things, re-locking bootloader and sideloading, they're FU***** all of us over and I'm sure would suffer major backlash from the user base.

If OnePlus doesn't allow these things, re-locking bootloader and sideloading, they're FU***** all of us over and I'm sure would suffer major backlash from the user base.

if all else fails we do have an unbrick tool, but from what i have read, u can no longer sideload with ur bootloader locked and there is not install from internal storage from stock recovery

I learned the hard way. Soft brick in the first hour of ownership.i thought I really broke something until eventually a few others reported on it. B
Op I would wait

I just relocked my bootloader with no issues. I uninstalled magisk through magisk manager, reboot to completely remove, then factory reset, boot into fastboot and relock. No issues. Note I didn't use twrp. I was still on stock bootloader.

Certain I did something wrong. But I tried the same thing initially and would bootloop to recovery after factory reset. Wasn't a biggie learned about the new a/b system in the process

Somewhat related question:
If you relock the bootloader, does Widevine go back to L1?
One user reported no. Is it really a permanent change of the Widevine status to unlock it?
I might be able to deal with 480p netflix, but if I sell this phone someday it sucks for the next owner.

No worry just try mega unbrick guide used it to relock bootloader and flash stock hydrogen os it can recover your device from even hardbrick I tested it for safety it works like charm so I recommend you that

Can anyone who has unlocked and re-locked their bootloader check their Widevine status in DRM info?

I have relocked because netflix quality was to low on when unlocked. When i relocked i got the drm lvl 1 back so it works

What's the procedure to re lock the bootloader and revert to stock recovery along with no root.
I unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP and Magisk but would like to go back to stock. Any help will be appreciated

Reinstall your rom ( i believe 5.1.6 ) to get rid of TWRP & root
Factory reset
Then on fastboot " fastboot oem lock"
Data & internal storage will be wiped

Which means post following the steps origins bootloader will be locked and I will not get the warning again right at the start of the phone

All you can do is try but first make a Nandroid just in case this falls through

Hi, I want to lock my bootloader after recently unlocking it on my OP6 to install Oxygen OS as was originally on Hydrogen OS. If I use CMD and type fastboot oem lock, what are the risks of the phone going into a boot loop, and also, does the factory reset revert the phone back to Hydrogen OS? Cheers.

Lock as you unlocked in cmd by typing lock instead of unlock. It will make a wipe, so I recommend make backup before.
