Hello, hope someone can help me.
XT1040: boot-loader locked, unrooted, stock ROM 5.0.
My phone was having some increasing blue-screen issues (hardware issue for sure) and is now able to turn on OK, but after the boot animation I have no video, only a black screen which weirdly shows only the power off dialogue when pressing power button and doesn't recognize touch input.
I didn't root as to not loose warranty in Brazil and I probably need to get a new phone; thing is I need to get some important files before sending it there and I don't have a USB connection to PC anywhere except on stock recovery. I can enter side-load mode, but I'm guessing it's not possible to pull files from there.
I'm probably ****ed, just wished to get this past you guys... I really don't wanna lose all the lyrics for my songs; any help is very much appreciated.
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I want to keep the boot-loader locked if possible to keep my warranty; though if there's no option I'm willing to unlock.
Thanks!
Hello all, and thanks for having me:
I am here out of desperation. Other Android forums have been telling me that I need the correct RUU file, to get my HTC One X (Evita) back to factory preset(s). That's assuming it has already been wiped. I've been trying for over a month.
I am not, BY ANY STRETCH, knowledgeable in these kinds of smartphone problems. I know nothing about the various terminologies, nor what they represent, i.e. flashing, rooting, etc. I actually think that if some members here could possibly ask ME a couple questions, that that might be a faster way to try and get to the root of the problem, so to speak.
I can tell you that, as I type this, I DID manage to get the "BOOT"?? screen up. It has several commands or options, and three large bar codes at the bottom of that screen. I can also tell you that after I found out about holding down power and pressing volume down 3 times, and wait...my touch controls at the bottom of the phone, flash 15 times and stop. Much more often than not, if I continue to hold those buttons down, the HTC "Brilliant" logo pops up briefly, then disappears, but you can tell by looking closely, the screen isn't totally black, it is grey, still on, and will remain that way until the battery dies...unless I try to do something to turn it off.
Apologies for the long post. To me, this takes a more verbose explanation than it probably would those more "experienced" with the technological aspects involved in any attempt to "repair" the phone.
I need to add that, when the phone was purchased, it was bought for me, by my wife, for 1 penny, as part of an AT&T promotion. It has the AT&T logo molded into the top center of the phone, and that there are/were many AT&T apps in the phone. My wife told me long ago, that AT&T had the phone locked, and that their apps could not be removed.
We no longer use AT&T as our carrier. We use Consumer Cellular. To anyone with any expertise, advice, knowledge, etc., that could possibly aid in my restoring the phone back to what I refer to as "normal Android", I would be forever in your debt. I am disabled, and on a pittance of Social Security benefits. With prices of GOOD smartphones today, I seriously doubt I would ever be able to afford even a used one. Thanks very much. Again, my apologies for the "novel".
Its been a while since i have done an RUU as i dont own an HTC anymore but if you have access to a pc this might work.
Steps
1. Download the RUU for your device from here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
2. Put the device into bootloader mode. (black screen with the android in the center has options for recovery, ect)
3. make sure drivers are set up on the PC and run RUU.
This "should" put you back to 100% factory settings and return the device to "out of the box" android. Again this is done at your own risk as i dont know for sure what state your device is in unless i can see it personally.
Hope this helps

I have finally gotten to the previously mentioned "unnamed" screen. This screen has a much shorter menu. Please recall that at the top of the FIRST and only screen I was able to get said "HBOOT" at the top, above a list of various details such as the Evita name, Radio, openDSP,etc. At the top of this one, it says ***LOCKED***, above the like details mentioned.
There is then, in the center of the menu, a red highlighted "FASTBOOT AC" that cannot be selected for anything that I know of. Finally, the possible workable selections are, from top to bottom, read BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, and POWER DOWN.
If by "the Android" mentioned by SynisterWolf, she means the green robot icon(s), there are three of them on skateboards at the bottom of this screen. These observations are all that I know, with regard to the main issue at hand.
I have the RUU already stored in my PC, but the exact procedure to execute from this point forward is still unclear. After all, I am a self-confessed "pre-novice". ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't had my phone in a normal Android state for nearly 2 months.
I had already made it known that I do not see a black screen as described by SynisterWolf above. At present, ( 12am/Thursday, 4/20 ), I was going to take the leap, go ahead and run the RUU. As soon as I plugged in the USB, my PC gave me a message that it isn't recognizing the phone. Now, I am even more perplexed than before. It is far past the point where I REALLY NEED this phone. If anyone could assist with a possible solution to my super-dilemma, I would be forever in your debt. Thanks very much to all members here.

HELP!! I see that my HTC One X (AT&T) needs a driver update, but cannot find one. HTC's website is NO HELP at all. Can someone help me to find the web page or site where I can obtain a driver update for this phone, PLEASE?

Flash stock firmware dude
Hi,
I've recently broken my S6 by accidentally smashing the screen - it completely died as a result, the screen went black with a single green line on it at first, which then procceeded to disappear as well. I figured that I wouldn't bother repairing it since it isn't much cheaper to replace the screen than to buy a new one. But now I kinda want to do that since I can get a used screen for cheap. The problem is, before I knew that I had attempted to recover my data from the phone and succeded. The phone doesn't have root which makes things harder, but I did a little research on the subject and used a program called dr fone to do that, but since it asks you to pay up in order to actually pull your data from the phone (it only shows you your photos/calls etc., doesn't let you transfer it without paying) I thought to myself **** that and tried to cheat a little. Well basically the program asks you to put your phone in download mode I believe (it tells you to hold down home+power+volume down) and then uploads something to it that lets you use adb freely - although it doesn't really tell you that, so while it was uploading the thing I found adb in the program folder and entered the pull command to transfer the data onto my PC. While I was doing that dr fone was "uploading" something to my phone and got stuck at 90%. I honestly had no idea what I was doing but I succeeded in getting my data and didn't think twice about what I should do next so I unplugged the phone with the program still being stuck on 90% progress.
Now the phone doesn't seem to react to anything I do, it doesn't turn on, the LED doesn't flash (it did before) and I have no idea if it's able to enter recovery because the screen is dead and holding down any combination of buttons doesn't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong.
What I would like to know is whether I ****ed up something badly without replacing the screen because I don't want to purchase one for a phone that will possibly refuse to work anyway. Is there any way to figure that out?
I'm trying to figure out a way to make a few edits to my system partition without unlocking my bootloader (no TWRP available anyways) and I found a setting to enable ADB in the STOCK Recovery.
I've been able to use it to sideload an app, but was wondering how to install an app to the system partition... without having to push the entire partition PLUS the added app....
does anyone know actual SPECIFICS about the boot options on the bootloader menu? I have managed to get stuck in some strange developer mode twice now, and am actually getting a little worried I'll royally mess this up.
One developer mode I booted into never loaded SystemUI- lock screen loaded the picture, never got any text (after 20mins waiting). Held power for a minute, device booted back into the bootloader menu.
the other developer mode I toggled somehow turned all my radios off on boot, turned them on one by one, notification CQOA or similar was starting up. Then a bunch of information in a text mode style flew across the screen on top of my desktop. Again, I held power down and got the heck outta there. I had to go back into bootloader menu and select Recovery and hit VolUp and Power to get a usable menu and then recovered from there.
all this exploring just has me curious as all hell what is possible through these menus. If I had another G7Power, I would be going as far down this rabbit hole as possible... but this is my only device at this time, so I am quite concerned I'll manage to break something and not recover....
at one point, using ADB in Recovery, I was able to get my ADB shell in root mode.... but I didn't realize the # meant root worked. And I haven't been able to get that working like that again.
EDIT: I still have the CMD window open from Friday night when I started this, otherwise I wouldn't have ever realized I had root for a few minutes in ADB
END EDIT
I want to make a few edits to build.prop without having to flash the whole partition.
My bootloader is LOCKED.
I literally just had an OTA last weekend.
am I being trolled by Moto on this? like, it looks like it is doing stuff, or COULD do stuff, but is actually nerfed? It seems like there has to be a secret key combo or something to get these menus to actually work.... it also looks like it is possible to switch to USERDEBUG if only for a single boot.
Any ideas are appreciated!

I never said it was.
These menus appear to be useful for gaining access to various things. If a good source posted a response "these menus have already been scoured for any usefulness for people like us" I would leave it alone.
If I *was* to share my own experiences with what those various items can do, would you say this isn't the place to post that information? Please clarify- I honestly don't want to post on the wrong sub. Thank you.

As per the thread title: This thread is for development purposes only. All questions should should be asked in the Q&A thread
I dunno but I can tell you the SUPRA from cricket does not support bootloader unlock or root right now, and probably never will, I bought one but i will probably sell it off or gift it and buy the Power or G7 Plus with the money typically with moto you just go to the motorola bootloader unlock page enter your fastboot and type oem get_unlock_code or whatever it gives you a string you put it together and paste that in the moto bootloader page and they provide an unlocked bootloader boot.img you do get the code however when you put it in it gives you message that the phone cannot be unlocked thanks alot cricket, and Att I dont mind your service here but I want to be able to flash custom roms so I will just order a moto from swappa or straight from moto so i can do what I want with the phone, considering these are prepaid and you buy them out right it should not even be legal to keep the locked really, wish some attorney that had this stuff as a hobby would help us out it is flat out wrong to tell me I cannot unlock my bootloader its not like I owe anything on the phone thru cricket in the first place its paid for in full.
Hi guys! I’m hoping to get some help to save my sisters galaxy note 10 (we need to get her photos from the phone)
Few days ago her phone forced an automatic update something went wrong in the proces and it got stuck in a reboot loop.
After researching online I saw the odin method tried it and was able to flash the firmware for the phone, thought all was done. But now its stuck In This lockpad loop. I slide the screen, put in the pin and it wants to let me in but goes to black screen and the lockscreen comes up again, endlessly. If you put the wrong pin it tells u it’s wrong, put In the right pin and it starts the loop again.
At this point ive spent so much time trying to fix and I’m close to giving up. I would really like to at least save her photos (sentimental memories) but I have no way of accessing even with the correct pin, I even tried safe mode and it gives me the same lockscreen loop.
I also tried to unlock it via samsungs find my phone but it says no network cant unlock it.
Please can anyone suggest any fix? Is there a other way to get in and save her photos?
Thank you!
