Bought an ATT branded One X from a friend that is stuck in bootloop. He attempted an ota update, and now it boots to black screen after the htc logo screen. Home buttons light up, stay lit. The ATT chime is heard, but no display. Booting recovery leads to the red triangle. I have no idea if he turned fastboot off, or even the software version he had or was trying to update. I am hoping the phone is saveable, and hoping to load it with a good custom if possible. I have been searching and reading for hours, and have mixed results as to the proper direction. Currently, I can boot into hboot/recovery mode. This is the info on screen:
locked
evita pvt ship S-on rl
Hboot 2.14.000
radio 0.17.32.09.12
And so on.
I've read I need s-off, and unlocked, as well as root and twrp or cwm installed. Ok, no problem. Also know fastboot needs to be off. I have also read this is not possible without knowing what version is on the phone, and that this phone is bricked. Seems to me that it's not, but maybe it is.
Can I use a toolkit to get s-off and unlocked AND turn off fastboot, and then simply flash twrp and a custom Rom, orrrr...???????
Hi,
try this procedure:
- boot into fastboot mode
- "fastboot oem lock" (to lock your bootloader)
- fastboot oem rebootRUU (to reboot in RUU mode)
and try to flash the last stock rom from ATT (RUU)

So, the backlight crapped out on my device after being a bit spotty (would come back after pressing around on the phone a bit). I'm thankfully still within the warranty period, but I'm S-OFF, bootloader's unlocked, and I'm running Sense 5. I'd like to minimize the chances of having my warranty invalidated for taking the bootloader unlock and everything, but it's quite difficult to do so without a screen to look at.
RUU'ing and switching back to CWS__001 should be easy as pie with fastboot, but I'm not sure how to relock the bootloader without the "relocked" tag and return to S-ON without flashing zips in recovery. I can't really adb sideload because I don't know TWRP's UI well enough to navigate around without seeing where all the UI elements are. Perhaps someone could guide me through navigation.
Lastly, I can't really verify visually whether or not I have TAMPERED, RELOCKED, or S-OFF, so is there any way to check all three via fastboot/adb?
To change it so that it's says ***LOCKED*** you can use the customize hboot tool here and make a custom plug hboot file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156368 There is a fastboot comand that will basically read off the bootloader to you, fastboot get... Something. Exad knows this command, so he could tell you.

I think it's
fastboot getvar all
doesn't show if it's locked or not though..
If you run an RUU
then use the Locked spoofer
then fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
You should be just fine.
So that's 5 instances where the backlight/display has stopped working for no apparent reason? I'm thinking it may HTCs fault and not the user..

Hi, I did a few searches but came up empty, sorry if this is something answered already.
A friend brought me a sim unlocked Htc One X from at&t stuck in a bootloop and I can't get it out of the bootloop, he supposedly tried to update the device with an ota delivered to his device and it just entered the bootloop, the device is completely stock so I cant unlock the bootloader to flash a custom recovery, I can enter hboot and fastboot but trying fastboot oem rebootRUU causes the device to reboot and go into bootloop so i cant use an RUU to flash everything back, same thing with trying to enter the recovery, trying to factory reset the device or any other option in fastboot or hboot that isnt turning the device off or changing between hboot and fastboot.
Is he SoL? I am not that familiar with htc devices but from what i've reasearched I think there is nothing to be done for it right? (I hope I am wrong)
Try flashing boot.img in fastboot.
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Unlocked bootloader and rooted phone just fine, but then decided i waned to go back to my old factory reset phone, so i locked boot loader, then tried to reset using ruu, but low and behold the 2 telus ruu's i have tried result in errors, probably because my phone is s-on still and i have know clue what the cid is. My phone can still boot into bootloader mode and download mode, but can't access TWRP or recovery mode, it cant be picked up by usb or plugging it into the computer to transfer files, so my options are sd card for file transfer. Is there any way to fix it or is it a fancy paper weight now?

Have tried flashing bootloader off with fastboot and adb, and it shows up and asks me if i wish to unlock, but then just goes right back into bootloader mode and as 'relocked' still, i think it is because i cant enable oem unlocking or usb debugging because i cannot go into any os, and am limited to recovery and download mode. Any suggestions?

Thats at least something.
Type:
fastboot getvar all
(delete IMEI and post the output please)
I tell them what happened to me, my U11 phone had it with the European version and I did s-off with sunshine without problems, I changed cid BS_US001 and mid 2PZC50000 without any problem, but try to load the ruu that you download from htc 1.28.617.3 and came out error 155 that the image was not correct, then what I did was to close the bootloader with the command fastboot oem lock, reset the phone and send me to the bootloader screen, when entering download it appeared and s-on and Bootloader Relocked , try to load the ruu again but it tells me that the image does not correspond, try to install recovery stock, TWRP, and firmware 1.28.617.3 but it does not let me do anything, when trying to enter recovery it sends me to bootloader and if I try to unblock bootloader I gives frp error, it is clear that despite being relocked the bootloader I keep appearing the screen that has been modified the phone, when entering download I appears in OS 1.28.401.7 and putting fastboot getvar all if I see the c id and mid of the American version, but I do not do anything.
Do you think it has a solution?
Waiting answer ...
Thank you ...
Hi.
There are no answers yet, because, honestly, it is difficult to understand what happened. You wrote one single phrase that is 10 lines long. Try to reformulate, using listed items, paragraphs and so on.
Just a friendly suggestion, no offense.

Ok i may be way off base, but if the phone can boot into the OS go to developer enable usb debug and
Oem unlocking then follow the htc guide to unlock bootloader again ( not positive on that part never relocked a bootloader then unlocked) once that is done redownload the correct ruu per your cid and retry. Just my 2 cents. Hth.
you only flash full ruu 1.28.401.7
try to find in https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048
Ok so, this isn't my first time flashing and returning to stock with phones, just the worst. Any help is appreciated.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and tried to flash a few ROMS which were not working great so I went to go back to stock and then the **** show happened. Its the LO4 Model. I flashed stock recovery, Relocked the bootloader and tried the Force Flash Update method. Well now the phone is stuck in a boot loop(Cant power it down), cant boot to erecovery/ recovery -- I can get to fast boot mode but the FRP is locked so I can not do anything all commands fail with an error.
Any thoughts? I just need to get it back to stock OR a working ROM- I plan on selling this phone and My wife (it was her phone) has upgraded to a Galaxy S9. If I cant get it to work, I will post it on swappa as is for a cheap price
Thanks!
Same Issue
I did the same thing, however when in fastboot type fastboot oem unlock (put the code here) and this will unlock your bootloader. I did this I even managed to flash the stock system cust recovery and boot, but it doesnt boot into recovory, erecover, or even download mode to download the software from the sd card. Any ideas?
I tried that fastboot code and I get an error because of the FRP lock
