Hello a totally blind noob here!
So I somehow managed to root my HTC One XL a few years ago and haven't updated it since. Now with Pokemon Go being released I have tried to unroot my device to update it and used the tool on this link.
htc1guru . com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-841-1-zip/[/url]
Despite the actual navigation of this tool being simple I still followed a video guide and through the whole process there were no warnings or failures and everything was going great and then it was successful so I thought I was done.
As per the instructions of the reset tool I selected the option to wipe the data partitions then opted for the Stock Recovery but did not select the stock radio, then it did it's installation.
However upon its reboot the phone never made it past the HTC Quietly Brilliant logo with white backdrop.
Upon inspection in the boot loader I discovered that my installed TWRP recovery was still there despite supposedly being "removed".
I really cant afford a new phone atm so I desperately need to un-screw up this phone, guidance is immensely appreciated.
Device specs are as follows:
CID- Telstra TELST001
Evita PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 2 . 14 0000 (Don't know if this is my firmware or how exactly i can find that in fastboot)
RaDIO- 1 . 26a . 32 . 45 . 19
OpenDSP- v34 . 1 . 0 . 45 . 1219
eMMC- Boot
Nov 26 2012 (not sure why this is here but i don't know if its important or not).
The TWRP I have installed is v2 . 4 . 1 . 0
Thanks

Hi all, I recently rooted my Magic using this guide (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting) and installed both Chinese and Japanese IMEs shown here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512530).
All was fine until I noticed the battery and credits (I'm on prepaid => no unlimited network usage) draining faster than usual as the phone desperately tries to download the official system updates and fails.
So...
Is there a way to receive system updates while rooted and keeping the two input methods?
If not, is there anywhere to disable auto update and download the updates manually? The android.clients.google link = 404.
Assuming that I found and downloaded the latest update, will my phone try to download repeatedly again when there's a newer update later?
Or if nothing above is possible, is there a way to unroot the phone back to original everything? I've searched everywhere but have only been able to find Dream/G1 unrooting guides.
This doesn't seem to work for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3846668

Hi. I have a htc branded magic. I have myhero-008 rom. I'd like to know if I could unroot the phone with nandroid backup...
Thanks and sorry for my english
Hi there,
I have a couple of problems with my htc desire S:
1. The wifi won't work -> I get a message: "unable to scan for wifi networks
Ï did many factory resets, one time it did work, until i walked out of reach, the phone crashed
2. The bluetooth wont work
My old nokia can find it when i turned bluetooth on, but it can't connect
when im looking in "hardware information" it tells me for wifi and bluetooth adress: unavailible
3. The desire S turns off when i leave it with a full battery after a few hours.
to start it up again I need to plug it in the charger and charge it for one minute (after 5 minutes, its full again)
First, I updated the htc, but the problems where still there...
after that I tried the following things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
that worked, I used flashed this rom couple of times:
Nik_Project_X_v4.1_By_Nikhil007_DesireS -> won't change anything about the problems
I currently use this rom: HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.9_DEODEXED_PREROOTED -> won't change anything about the problems
So I thougt, maybe it's the radio... In the boot menu it says: "S-ON" and Hboot2.00.002 so i tried to downgrade it, to unlock the NAND via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
but I keep getting the message from the RUU
"image fail [155]"
try the right RUU version... I tried this versions:

I'm stuck here...

As far as i know it's not branded... I can use any simcard
I want to make it 100% stock again before I moddify something again, I hope to solve the error's that way.
Am I doing this in the right order, or do I need to do something else?
thanks in advance!
3 options:
1. Follow the downgrade guide by making the phone "think" that your software version is lower than the actual one (can be done through ADB utility and the "misc_version" command in the console (if you are on Windows) or through Termina (if you are on Linux or MacOS), which will allow you to downgrade through the RUU file, and then upgrade to latest version by using OTA updates
2. Gain S-OFF on the current software, and then try to flash newer and newer radios one at a time, until the problem is resolved
3. Something inside the phone itself broke/fried, and you can only hope that service center will help you with repairing your DS
Well, I was able to "downgrade" to:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed
but I still got HBoot-2.00.0002, so I can't gain S-off.
so I tried:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
what resulted in the same result.
Are there somt thing's I forget?
(Radio is also still the same version...)
I've update'd the htc to ics with the ruu
I got a WIFI MAC adress now, it found my network once, but after it did it once, it still does not work, same for the BT..
so it does work but it also does not...
Hi,
I am a brand new member and have come in search of some help here.
I recently purchased HTC One XL from ebay and this was from a Hong Kong seller. I was very happy receive this phone and started to play around with the device. This device is 2 weeks old now.
When I checked the software version details on this phone, I found that it is the old firmware on the device and I encountered 2 problems already:
1. Sound is very feable even if I put the volume to its maximum level. It feels as a distant sound in a quiet room.
2. Whenever I use any app and come out of it, the home screen takes a long time to load (5-7 seconds! That feels eternity!!)
Now I tried contacting the HTC Folks over in Australia as well as in Hong Kong and they asked me to Hard Reset the phone. This resolved one of the issue of the home screen taking a long to load. But the sound issue still persists.
The fella from Hong Kong then told me to check the software version on the phone, and when I checked, he/she said that I am running on a old version of the software. And I cannot update the phone.
Can anyone please help me with this?
The details about my phone software:
1.77.708.2

adsp: 25.1.0.32.0405
This matches exactly in the description in the thread here in XDA-Developers forum here
I also see that the latest version listed here matches with what the HTC Hong Kong person told me:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:26:04 [Yan Chung] :
I see. But the offical version should be Android™4.1 with HTC Sense 4+, software version:3.17.708.5. So you phone is not an offical version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I tried to go to the recovery screen by pressing the Volume Down key and the Power key and here is what I see:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, You can install a RUU.
Noteworthy you are supetcid with soff. As already said flash a ruu.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Note, if you have a custom recovery installed, OTA will fail.
If the phone is rooted and S-off, why install OTA at all? There are newer and better stock-ish ROMs that you can just flash from custom recovery.
In any case, I don't think firmware will fix your sound issue. Its worth a try to install a different ROM. But it may also be a hardware problem.
Hi,
Wow what a wonderful place. Thank you all, you wonderful people out here.
@redpoint73- can you please help me with the link of where to get better ROM for my device? And the procedure to install.
PS: I have a prior experience of flashing a custom ROM from Cyanogenmod for my Motorola Cliq XT. So that should essentially be same.
Also, to mention here, when I reboot to recovery mode, I could see Clockwork Mod Recovery already present. And using the Backup option of the recovery, I have already taken a full backup of the device, just in case..
I am looking forward to a better ROM for this device. Hope someone helps with some options.
Also, there were some few terms those are new to me like S-Off, SuperCID, don't bother to explain but one help- Is my phone ready to be flashed with a custom ROM or RUU ?
Do let me know?
To all wonderful people out here.
Best Regards,
Saabir

If you used Clockworkmod on your previous phone, its no different on the One XL. Just download the ROM either direct to the phone, or transfer from your PC to the phone. Then boot into recovery. Factory reset (in recovery only, not in bootloader) wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, select the ROM, and flash it. Reboot and enjoy.
But I would also look at the CWM version, and post it here. There was an older, unofficial port that caused some serious issues for some folks. But the "official" supported version is just great.
Hello guys ! So i will try to keep this short but i have to give you all the details regarding my problem. I was an iOS user for almost 4 years but now i switched to Android. I currently own an HTC One M7 (since july 2014). The phone was brand new and came with android 4.4.2 installed. Recently (2 weeks ago) i updated my phone to 4.4.3. Everything was just perfect. But then i found out about rooting and all the endless modifications so i said i should give it a try. I rooted my phone (and unlocked the bootloader) and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0. Now it gets a little bit more complicated. I tried to turn the S-OFF but couldnt do it and entered in TWRP (by mistake i guess) . From there i had the urge to format everything and i formated even the OS. Thing is after that my phone was bricked. Couldn't connect it at the computer (Linux or windows no matter what i tried the phone wasn't recognised by any PC). So i grabbed an OTG cable and managed to install an operating system named "Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip" from an RUU collection . So i finally managed to install an OS onto my phone and i was happy that my phone wasn't bricked anymore. But then i realised i downgraded to 4.2.2 and the OS is pretty crappy. Besides the WIFI is not working properly all the time , the camera doesn't start and cannot update to 4.4.3 . I have to mention that i don't have any recovery saved or backup. Now i tried to lock the bootloader and gain the S-OFF again but couldn't do it. The thing is i can't enter in recovery , i can't install a custom ROM on my phone and cannot update to the latest (4.4.3) stock htc one android. I need your help because i don't know what to do anymore. I tried to gain S-OFF with rumrunner , moonshide and revone and still no luck. My phone is now recognized by my PC and i can enter the adb devices from command prompt so i guess that is a good thing. But the bad thing is that i can't enter in recovery (it just gives me a black screen with a red triangle and an exclamation sign). I am pretty much a noob but i learned alot about android in the last 3 days. Please help me because i don't know what to do anymore i feel drained exhausted and sad. I just want a normal OS that can run properly on the phone and use my camera and WIFI at maximum capacity. If i can't run a custom ROM at least help me to revert back to stock and get updates for my OS. Thank you for listening !!
