First of all, remove serial number and imei.
There's no Jelly Bean RUU for Rogers instead you can download OTA.

- There's option at the bottom of your first post to Edit it. Your serial/IMEI can be used for dangerous purposes.
- Refer to This Post to find the correct OTA.zip.
- To install the OTA.zip, there are a few steps to be done. What was the last ROM you installed? Did you update to JellyBean via OTA?

Sorry for my weird typos. I was half asleep while I was typing that. I realized it now.
That's the correct OTA you download. It is in the form of a zip file correct?
You can flash that OTA with the help of the method stated in my signature
..
Edit:
Lol man I can't stop laughing at my typos. And the subsequent question asked by you hahaha

But this method has worked for many people. Two of them reported yesterday.
at 10th step I had already given that you shouldn't flash firmware if you had already updated to jellybean.
But I seriously am think what could have could have caused the brick as the OTA matches with your firmware.
Did you do SuperCID?
Try VolDown+Power Button to go into bootloader.

yes done it twice
thing is
after it said done in command prompt, the green progressbar wouldn't leave, i mean it was stuck at the green progress bar
the thing is, i waited for a while for it to finish, a lil bit was left at the end in the progressbar, but it said done in command prompt
so after a lot of waiting, i just hard reset it, but after that the phone is not booting into bootloader and not responding at all
what is happening?

Bro I can't find anything that you did incorrectly. I don't know what the problem is. But I think that incomplete firmware update bricked it.

Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good

I just broke the whole phone..

Hello! Before you guys flame me with messages of how much dumb I am or anything similar - don't bother, i already know it and i regret it...
So... I have AT&T HTC One X, with Hboot 2.14, CID CWS__01 which i just destroyed as much as i could >.> Let me reproduce things i've tried..
First of i changed my CID to 11111111 and unlocked the bootloader - took me an hour, but i did it and it was working...
I've installed recovery, even rooted the ROM... But that wasn't enough - i wanted to install ParanoidAndroid ( and i didn't read that it needs S-OFF, realized that just after i installed it and rebooted the phone )..
So after a reboot, the white HTC logo it just went black screen and nothing else... So i've began to look up on forums if someone else had this kind of a problem...
Then i tried another 2 ROM's, which worked as well as PA - just black screen...
So i thought - maybe i'll do everything from scratch ? Why not, I changed CID back to stock, wiped everything etc. and locked the bootloader....
But now I've got a weird problem - i can't change CID with "fastboot oem writecid" - it returned me error
(bootloader) elite_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdhw_7xxx_open: id=0
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached
(bootloader) 902910 902E20
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 1.282s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So now i have no access to recovery, so i can't even do anything to the storage, the phone doesn't boot up, tried RUU for ATT version ( RUU_Evita_UL_ATT_US_1.44.502.1_Radio_0.15.3201.09_release_249105 - i guess its for HBoot 1.44, not 2.14 >.> ) it just showed me an error that it couldn't send data to the phone and i should check my connection to the phone ( drivers are installed and working fine )
I've also tried fastbooting the OTA zip to the phone - well, the phone is on S-ON and it just declines any zip that i try to flash
Also i lost connection to ADB - its impossible to connect to it while phone is in bootloader, right? : /
So i'm left with empty phone without any rom, recovery - anything...
Is there any way of fixing it ? Its 5th hour where i just sit and try to look up for any information, but I just can't find anything...
I guess i just hard bricked the phone and i can try to play some volleyball with it >.>

Your mistake was thinking that you needed s-off to flash the ROM(s), you don't, all you needed to do was flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM with your recovery. There's an Evita FAQ thread which contains this information stickied at the top of the q&a section you've posted this thread in . This is in no way intended to flame you, just show you the catalyst point for this mayhem.
Anyway, what is your current CID? Check it with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
You must be connected in fastboot mode (bootloader) in order for fastboot commands to work (and in answer to your question, no, adb does not work in fastboot mode, only in Android and in recovery).

I should mention that the battery was at ~95% at the time i was trying to flash/do anything.
So, is there any way to make at least recovery working? As for now i flash recovery using fastboot flash, but that does nothing - it says that its done, but when i get into bootloader and check recovery then enter it, it goes to white htc logo and goes back to bootloader >.>
EDIT!!!!!
I managed to get it working! I downloaded RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial which worked flawlessly and stock ROM just booted up! Jesus christ, thank You internet for providing exact links to the RUU's etc >.> I guess i'll try to not brick the phone again ^^ Thanks for the reply again : )

Glad to see you're all working now. But you need to edit your IMEI out of your post asap, never post your IMEI publicly.

[Q] Rogers HTC One X help with customer recovery issue...

Pretty sure I effed up... Before reading further please know I am a very novice Android user, but am great at following directions.
In an attempt to install a custom ROM on my phone I'm having some serious issues getting it to work. I was able to unlock the bootloader on my device quite easily but after attempting to install TWRP the device boots to a black screen when trying to load the recovery. I know the phone is on because I have to press and hold power for a while before I can get back into the actual system. I figured I'd try installing CWM but it does the same thing. I installed the ROM Manager app as suggested by another site but it really is of no help to me without my phone being rooted, which it is not... yet. The app does show that both TWRP and CWM are installed but gets an error flashing CWM and if i try to set it to use the outdated version of CWM or TWRP it says that it's configured to use the existing recovery installation and makes no difference trying to load the recovery.
Phone info: (Let me know if you need anything not listed.)
Android Version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense: 4+
Software#: 3.17.631.3
HTC SDK API leve: 4.63
Build#: 3.17.631.3
Kernel version: 3.4.0-g240d4d5
I'm at a loss for what to do to either get a working custom recovery or restore the factory one to working condition, which I can't seem to find online anywhere.
Edit: Grammar.
Edit2: Update - I was able to get TWRP to run and then attempted to install CyanogenMod, when it installs it says MD5 file not found but says successfully installed. After rebooting to system it just gets stuck in an endless reboot cycle. Ideas / Suggestions?

If it's Rogers it isn't a one x. It's a one xl so you are in the wrong forum which will be why it has all gone wrong

I've ensured to use Evita for all the guides. I double triple and quadruple checked everything before performing any steps. Posting in the wrong thread doesn't change the situation. Is there a way to move this to the correct thread?
Edit: Also, according to HTC the Evita was a code name used for both the One XL and One X simultaneously. One XL applied specifically to releases in Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, Singapore, and United Kingdom. One X applied to Canada (where I am) and USA.

Boot into fastboot and run the command getvar and post the results. Be sure to block out your imei and serial before posting. This may help XDA members diagnose the problem.
Are you full wiping cache, data, and Dalvik before and after flashing CM?

Yes I was doing a full wipe before flashing, but not after. Situation has changed a bit though... I was working with someone via reddit (Full thread here: reddit.com/r/root/comments/3a4cc2/htc_one_x_root_for_beginner/ ) Long story short: Finally got CyanogenMod installed but let it sit over an hour and just stuck on spinning CM logo. Forced shutdown, booted into TWRP and wouldn't recognize SD or mount (eMMC). Read this can be due to not doing a factory reset, tried to do the factory reset but same deal. Tried to ruin an RUU that matched my info but it failed and with a locked bootloader I cant even get into TWRP, I need to unlock the bootloader and reinstall TWRP after failing an RUU.

When I try to RUU I start by relocking the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and then I run "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then "fastboot flash zip RUU.zip" when it's on the black screen with silver HTC logo. I get this:
c:\Android>fastboot flash zip RUU.zip

The RUU file I'm using is OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip I've read they can sometimes give odd errors so I ran it a second time as suggested, same error running a second time. If I try to boot after this it boots to the white HTC quietly brilliant screen.

I see you have s-on and you do not have super CID.
With s-on, I think you have to flash the boot.img file for the phone to boot.
Easiest way to solve the problem may be to get s-off and supercid.

Flashed wrong rom now stuck in bootloop. RUU doesn't work.

So I wasn't paying attention and I flashed a rom for the M9 instead of the A9. It got stuck in a bootloop, I realized what happened, wiped & formatted and flashed correct rom. Still stuck in bootloop though recovery and bootloader are accessible. I tried and RUU and got the signature error saying it couldn't update and I need the correct one. It was trying to go from image version 1.10.502.3 to 3.38.502.17. Any ideas? ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry if I missunderstood something but
have you tried to flash your "previous" RUU?
I mean this one:

I haven't tried that exact one. I'm downloading it now. Is my CID not right for the A9? I've been trying to figure out how to change it to supercid but i need s-off and i can't figure out how to do that without booting to os. I'll let you know how flashing the ruu you linked goes in a few minutes.

If you were trying to update, something went wrong.
I recommend that you (re)download and flash this from the RUU collection thread:
1.27.502.5
AT&T (Cingular)
modelid: 2PQ912000
cidnum: CWS__001
Download: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_H...1.27.502.5.exe

Ah got you I think you want to flash RUUfile.zip in recovery.
Thats not correct and won´t work.
You have to flash this in RUU or Download Mode.
You can also download RUU from CSnowRules post it has a UI and you can easy apply it.
I think it´s easiest way.
Ohter way is you rename downloaded RUU.zip to 2PQ9IMG.zip put it on your Sd card boot to download mode
and flash it from there.

This one worked!!! OMG thank you so much!! I've tried a bunch and was losing hope in the ruu working. I don't know what was different about this one but it worked! THANKS!!! my phone actually boots now lol So can I just flash a rom for the a9 over this? Do I need to do anything special?

I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. Thanks to everyone who helped me fix it! You guys are awesome!

There's no need to do anything special. You can s-off and convert to unlocked by following the instructions in the conversion thread.
Please remember to read carefully and double-check everything before doing anything. A mistake like this one would most likely turn your phone into a luxury paperweight once you're s-off.

Hi, I have an issue, I'm trying to RUU my HTC one A9 but I get error 120, it says I have to charge battery to 30%, but it's fully charged. It gives same error even if phone isn't connected to computer. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm confused, are you trying to RUU an M7 or an A9?
Also, are you using a .Zip or.exe RUU?
