Hey I hate having to post this but im stumped. i was running cm7 nightly build 21 and wanted to flash back to stock pd15img. i followed the steps but when i went to update all it did was turn s on. now my mytouch gets to the animated MY logo and loops. i can still get to recovery and i have tried restore my backup but i still get the MY animated boot logo. any help or suggestions? thanks.
Did you revert your recovery back to stock or Clockwork 2.x instead of Clockwork 3.x that CM7 requires?

Yep. 2.5.1.2.. I even tried just flashing icedglacier but i still get the animated MYlogo wich continues to loop.
does the phone have to be rooted to fix this? It was prior to flashing the PD15IMG, but like i said when it was done loading the image i clicked update and it just turned s on....
okay so i just made some progress i think. i just flashed icedglacier again and this time it changed the boot logo to the icedglacier boot logo but it still loops.
on the bright side of things i was really tire of seeing the mytouch logo.

the PD15IMG is a HBoot flashed image. not via Clockwork's Recovery Manager.
What method did you follow to try and unroot your phone.
We kinda need to know what you did in order to fix it.
If you store the PD15IMG onto the root of the SD card and boot into bootloader it should automatically restore everything to a factory spec.
I unrooted my device by downloading the unroot folder and using visionary and the terminl emulator.
I didnt try to flash pd15img through clockworkmod i just put it on the root of my sd card and let the hboot do the rest once it loaded the image it gave me he update option i chose to update and when my phone came back on in hboot i saw s off and now im stuck in boot loop.
I have to get to work but if you think of anything that could help me out trhat would be awesome thanks guys for reading this in the first place
ps now if i try to load the pd15img it will load the image but there is no update opyion

Try doing this. Esp. if you did the ./gfree deal.

I also made this mistake, I had to reflash a cm7 rom or miui, downgrade the recovery to 2.5.x (could also adb push) and from there went back to stock and rerooted and flashed ice glacier.
well im downloading sdk now. my internet is super slow.

you are just wanting the ADB you can download and install the drivers for just that. Takes like 5 mins to get up and running.

Being that you have s=on it's going to be fairly difficult. [sidenote] i still cannot believe the PD15IMG didn't work for you [/sidenote]. but you can try and use the fastboot commands.If s=off you could load a separate recovery image and flash a ROM to get you up and running.
yeah, i knew this would happen to me. when i try to adb in it dosent show my device. i have a thing with best buy where they will mail it in to htc to have it fixed but im not sure since i modded the phone.

ok so adb devices gave me a list of devices wich was none.
fastboot devices did not do anything for me.
wait a minute.... it did show something a second time it says sh0bt602653 fastboot....
Ok, that means fastboot has detected your phone. You can flash individual system.img, recovery.img, etc directly from fastboot.
so what do i flash? what commands do i need to use.
C:\adb>fastboot -p sh0b7t602653 update update.zip

I posted in the Q&A of the general One X forum and they told me to post my problem here.
I tried flashing CM10 mod on my One X and because I am a noob I omitted to do a backup of my phone when I wiped everything. I then proceeded as usual, flashed the boot.img then opened the zip to install CM10, then flashed boot.img again but it didnt work.
I don't know how but after that I successfully messed up my phone. I have no ROM, Lost TWRP, have no backup and the only thing I can use is Fastboot and Bootloader.
My phone lo longer appears on my computer so I cannot move files onto it.
I relocked my phone and flashed all the RUU's that I could find. Used the ARUwizard to try the PJ83IMG to no avail.
Every answer I found on the internet did not work so far and I'm getting desperate. Nothing seems to work. Is there a solution?
PS: Is it just me or is the rogers HTC One X harder and more complicated to mod than other versions of the phone? If I were to buy a new phone which one should I buy?
PPS: Buying a new phone is my last option. I do not want to resort to that. I will if I have to.
This is why 1 click unlocks are so bad for the community. People mindlessly unlock their phones and screw it up.
As for your situation, if you run a RUU successfully but your phone still won't boot then you're probably SOL. Go ask Niceppl and see if he can help you.
And no, Rogers is the easiest to mod. HTCDev supports Rogers HOX bootloader unlock. After that, the rest is the same.

Everytime I try an RUU it says I have the wrong RUU for the device... I tried all of them that I could download. Do I need to do anything else before flashing the RUU maybe?
You didn't SuperCID which is essential for ATT RUU. Right now you basically have a phone with Rogers ID trying to install ATT RUU so it fails.
If you can't get 1.73 rogers RUU working then I have no clue what you can do.
Can you unlock the phone still from fastboot?
If you can have tried to reflash twrp from fastboot?
If it works you may be able to mount the sd card from twrp and move rom to your sd card and flash it.
Just throwing out some ideas since nothing you have tried has worked so far.

I cannot mount my virtual sd card to my computer.
I tried to mount my system in TWRP but on my computer it says I cant access it and I need to format it.
Should I format it or will that indefinitely kill my phone.

Hmm. That sounds like it got corrupted, which may be why your phone cant access anything. Your comp should only be able see the partition that acts like the external sd, so formatting it SHOULD be ok, but get a few more opinions on that before you do it. If so then you can copy a rom on and flash it in twrp.
Could it be -?
I've been trying and trying.
I've been told by someone that maybe I could plug in an SD card reader into my phone. It wasn't recognized.
Could it be my firmware update?
My phone in RUU or ARUwizard or "getvar version-main" says my phone rom version is 1.94.631.3
The rogers RUU out there is 1.73.631.1
Could that be why I cannot install anything on this brick?

I believe that is the new Rogers OTA. I believe it may have the hboot update which is not rootable. If you have already relocked your boot loader and have the updated hboot, you may have a bookend I am afraid.
All you can do is unlock your bootloader again, push twrp recovery via fastboot, then mount the SD from recovery and copy a rooted custom ROM to your SD and flash it.
Hopefully someone will chime in and tell me I am wrong for your sake....

If only my VSD worked... I gave you a thanks anyways. I'll wait for something to come up I guess. I'm kinda fed up with trying and nothing working over and over again.
If you have fastboot why not go through htcdev bootloader unlock? Every in here has suggested it.
Once unlocked flash new recovery and install a rom?
Ps force reboot the phone also by holding the power button for 10seconds.
Thank you for your imput. But my problem lies in the fact I cannot access my phone storage to install a custom rom nor can I flash a working RUU.

Update on the situation
So I just tried TWO different methods and both did not work .
1.) I tried pushing a custom rom (Nocturna) to my SD card.
I cannot access ADB unless I am in TWRP, and pushing a file that big to my SD just crashes my phone. My SD also still cannot mount, I still cannot partition it, I still cannot do anything regarding my sd.
So I tried pushing the zip to other folders on my phone and I got a Process error like before on cmd promt as well as a crash TWRP.
So then I tried a second method.
2.) Downgrading software.
Since my firmware version was 1.94.xxx.x I tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
Everything went fine. Bootloader shows 1.11.0000 even though I wrote 1.00.000.0 and in the RUUs it shows 1.00.000.0.
But now that my phone is relocked, suprise! NONE of the RUUs work. I thought this would certainly fix the problem but aparently not.
Any suggestions?

Yes if there was a 1.94 ruu it might work but I don't think I've seen one but I could be wrong.
On another note am I understanding you correctly you were able to mount your sd via twrp if so I'm surprised it crashed It's how I always move rom zips over to my phone.

I recently had this issue cause i was messing around and I hit wipe in TWRP by accented. So it wipped everything on my phone to include the Hboot so no version showed up when i tried to flash the RUU. I grabbed the OTA 2.20 update with the kernal and now everything works minus the battery its drains crazy fast.
I flashed AOKP 1.4 earlier today coming off of TN Special Edition, but decided i didnt like it. I then did a factory reset and flashed Cleanrom 5 and SP1, but my phone just boots into the cleanrom boot screen, says no signal, and thjen flashes pop-ups such as "com.android.phone has stopped" and "android.process.acore" has stopped" before continuously rebooting. The RUU would not work. Please help, I am panicking!

did you ever take the 2.20 update?
If so did you remember to flash the boot.img in fast boot?
If that's not the problem maybe a bad flash? go to recovery again and re-wipe then reflash

No i never took an OTA update, but i am on 2.29 instead of stock 1.85. In the aroma installer in Cleanrom i did click flash boot.img ( or i think i did anyway, i clicked "Yes") How do i boot into fastboot? I usually use the extended power settings, but it reboots before i can do that. Also when flahsing the RUU, it says failed, but it also says that i should be at the HTC screen with exclamation points in each corner, but those exclamation points dont appear.

just ref lash it. You never took the OTA which means your HBOOT is still the old one. I bet you didn't say yes to boot.img

Are you talking about Cleanrom or the RUU? It reboots into the set up screen whenever i try to boot into bootloader (By holding power and the volume rocker), but that quickly crashes and reboots into the same screen again, so i don't know how i would be able to reflash it. If you are talking about the RUU, I have tried reflashing it three times, and every time it says "Utility can not update device"

ok so your phone powers up into a bootloop is that right?
Do you ever see a screen after the HTC screen with the red writing on it? If you do, plug in the phone and open a command prompt. I assume you have ADB installed. If you don't see the link to ADB/Fastboot in my signature.
Anyway, when you see the screen after the HTC screen with the red warning on it, type adb reboot recovery. THAT should get you back to twrp and let you ref reflash.

Maybe sonic can get you s-off if all else fails with his java card. I'm not sure in your situation but I know he can do it as I used it. But I would use that as last resort

So you were S-OFF and you somehow got turned to S-ON...??
I would say flash the RUU and call it a day, but we don't have one and the one we do have you need S-OFF..
best bet?
get into fastboot/bootloader, and put on a custom recovery.
then, get the TWRP nandroid of the OTA, restore to that.
then, weaksauce/S-OFF
and then you should be back to normal.
If adb/fastboot is not working, I suggest you re-install your drivers, worked for me when I didn't think it would.
opion 2
get TWRP on with fastboot
then
adb sideload any ROM to it and then get back to S-OFF
since you are unlocked you should be ok to do this without being htc dev unlocked.
you could also try htc dev, but i think that is locked.
sorry trying to think of anything else.

because of this, it most likely will not flash the nandroid then as system is a big part of the ROM and needs to be mounted.
you may have to do what was explained earlier and wipe the Internal, and then you may be able to re-do these steps.
so first try it out.
if it doesnt work, I would then wipe the 5 things instead of the 4
1) data
2) cache
3) dalvik cache
4) system
5) Internal storage (this will remove all your internal storage!)
then reboot from recovery into bootloader, then back into recovery and see if system is mounted, if it is, you can go ahead and either do the nandroid backup or an adb sideload. -- your choice
now,
if NONE of that works,
download the "RUU" that was put together and that *should* fix you right up.

Nope won't work. I think it's because there is no marker folder for the m8 in my SD card where I store my backups. I tried making one, and it won't register that there is a folder there...

yes.. yes it most certainly will work as my ROM is based off that precise nandroid backup...
this is something you should have had backed up..
but, make yourself a dummy nand backup to create the folder..
just don't backup anything except.. data or cache, just pick one thing. and it'll create the folder for you (tip: backup EVERYTHING (Internal., SD-Card, anything important, etc) when playing with beta ROMs. ESP AOSP beta ROMs..
the folder that gets created will be the same throughout your entire stay on the M8 using TWRP, it will never change (well that phone anyway, if you get a refurb or w.e. obv it will be different, but that phones folder markers will never change within TWRP, so it's to your benefit to have this backed up and ready to go...)

Awesome!
Very welcome.
So what was the result fix?
Did you have to wipe Internal from system not mounting?
Or did the adb sideload work?
Also once it flashed it loaded up if you did not have to wipe Internal, was your storage still there?
Glad that your back up and running.

I had to flash the RUU but it finally worked and was applied..I'm honestly thinking of holding off on doing more to it until I learn more!
Had to wipe pretty much all except my sd card, rebooted to bootloader and back to twrp and it allowed me to write to system. BUT I couldnt get any rom to flash (when I did, it hung on the HTC logo as usual, but the aroma installer said that it was successful..so I gave up on that and did the RUU on a different computer and its back to normal.

It's possible after so long you didn't give the ROM long enough to boot up?
Sounds like RUU might be a cause from flashing AOSP, threads like this are good to warn people, and for when it happens to others, they can read this and know what to do. Maybe think of a new title that could help those in a search to find this thread?
So, i had to revert to stock everything, even had to go s-on and reset all flags. Then, i decided to download a rom and try it, upon going to recovery, my phone displays a triangle with an exclamation mark in it. I am fairly certain this means i deleted my recovery, so i flashed several recoveries (philz, twrp, stock) and none work, same problem. I tried flashing an RUU, but i think you need s-off for that, so it wont go pass the security check. I tried using firewater, but i got the whelp message, even though my phone previously went s-off with firewater - so that makes no sense.
Can anyone help? Or know of anything i can do?

BTW... When the red triangle appears press volume up and of power together to enter stock recovery. Verizon made it difficult for vzw users to get to stock recovery.
Make sure you have fastboot off in the power menu as well.

If you are unlocked or s off you will be able to.
Custom recoveries don't require the extra button presses though. When you select recovery from bootloader it just goes straight there.
