My situation. I repaired a HTC One X AT&T screen and digitizer. The phone worked, powered on, and was fully usable for awhile then went into a nasty bootloop. I am unfamiliar with flashing rom or unlocking phones but I need to learn. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Point me in the right directions or some reply posts would be AMAZING!
Posting in the One X forum would be a great place to start.
I concur

Sent from my Rezound
Well I bought this HTC Rezound on craigslist, the guy i bought it from said it was rooted and blah blah. To begin with I didnt want the phone rooted, because to be honest I have no use for it or know what it really is used for, I have never rooted a phone or attempted. Well anyways, just today I restarted the phone because it was acting real slow, so i restarted it and when it powered back on it got stuck on the 4g screen. I left it like that for like 10 min and nothing. Please if anyone can help me on trying to fix this, it would gladly be appreciated. I dont want it rooted anymore just normal. If you can help please make this an easy experience, I dont ever plan on ever rooting or dealing with this stuff..thanks!!
Download the gb ruu from the sticky in the dev thread and run it. You'll be back to stock like it came out of the box http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19189145

Or this one, its newer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25664508
But he's right your going to have to flash the RUU to fix it. Also rooting is not a bad thing, it's actually a good thing. It allows you to load custom ROMs on your phone so you don't have to live with the standard Verizon / HTC crap. Like mine for example, I am running Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, with Sense 4.0.
I couldn't find that thread so I directed him to football's original one. Thanks for the other link

Not a problem, just trying to help out. I know all to well the feeling of a bricked phone....
I had this issue, sounds like dude didn't flash the right boot image to the rom.
Yes, start from the latest ruu and go from there.
Since I'm stuck on Windows 8.1 Blue preview I'm unable to use fastboot, so I've done a bit of googling.
I found this utility from the HTC One forums which apparently works for Qualcomm devices only, so surely it should work for us?
Anyway I'll go and test it and will report back, but I just wanted to say, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP FASTBOOT/ADB WORKING, DON'T UPDATE TO WINDOWS BLUE
EDIT: I've read further and it seems like the mmcblk0p for the utility may be different for the Desire X. I'll check it out.
I asked for some more information on the thread you found and will see if it's possible making this working for our device.
cheers mate, it sure would make life a lot easier for noobs.... and those fallen into the Windows 8.1 trap
Nopes,
doesnt work. just tried.
I'm pretty sure you'd need s-off to flash kernels from recovery

Yes, you are right.
Actually there is some write protection rights which do not let anything run from recovery partition to write on boot partition. However, it is not completely related to S-OFF.
However, My bro had HTC explorer low end phone. It had S-ON and still they could flash boot img from recovery without any issues.
HTC is unpredictable these days.
But why does it work for HTC One then?

must be an exploit. Or HTC are licking the feet of their prime flagship customers. Thats actually quite unfair why they make strange decisions.
Sense lite, removing HTC swipe, JB 4.1.1 STILL, and many shady decisions are the reason why they dont have many more years as a big company. Shame. They were the pioneers and now the chasing pack.

My remaining days are limited with the Desire X, I'm buying a Nexus 4 in the next month. But I will still help with testing and everything. This will allow my Desire X to be a full testing device and I don't need to worry about bricking
Good day guys, I have noticed that a s-off solution for the desire x has not been achieved as of yet and seems to getting the way of this phone being ignored and at the bottom of the pecking order regarding a s-off solution.
I thought it might help you guys who want and is desperate for s-off on the desire x to make a request to moonshine as there is this email address to requesting a request for s-off asking to leave make and details for a request for s-off. ...email to with make and hboot version..etc to:-
[email protected]
I believe that moonshine as done a fantastic job in making the moonshine for s-off on devices but the more folk that request s-off for this device we stand a better chance of a solution
thanks for time reading

Many Dx users Have already messaged the moonshine team, and i imagine If their inbox starts getting flooded with s-off requests they will start to mark them as spam, we will get s-off when à member of such à team gets our device.

oddly enough not that many of the devs/modders/fixers seem to want it, it would be good to have and probably help us quite a bit but until we get the higher up ones pushing doubt we will get a solution and only the guy who made the elegancia rom ever tried and he bricked his device then never got another one probably got something better with more devs personally my next phone will be researched more and definatly not another htc

haha yeah same for me, HTC's just not what it used to be
yea true well i dont know what they used to be like 2nd android phone and 1st htc here but while the phone itself is alright its the guys at htc that let it down, by the way have you heard of the xtc clip that can make gold cards for htc phones ? thinking of getting one but if theres another way to do so that would be great, if i get one and it works ill post it so others can use it, pity all the resellers are on the other side of the world

if that works awesome but as of yet we have one of the few htc phone very few people care about

Sir I have a xtc clip and can confirm at present there is no solution to s-off the dx with the xtc clip, and even though it does make gold cards the gold card method will no longer work with the dx.. just a case of us all holding tight and hope someone will come along with a solution I'm affraid.

I'm sorry, wrong forum (HTC Desire X here only).
Hey guys! Since yesterday I have a big problem. Yesterday I think I deleted my Sensation XL, because now it's dead. The bootloader and the Charge-LED dont work anymore. No sign of life...:crying: Now I saw the tutorial how to unbrick a HTC. I downloaded Ubuntu, but if I use the brickdetect of the Sensation it just says: "Device can't be detected".
Now my questions:
Where can I get the Unbrick-package for the Sensation XL? Can I unbrick my Sensation XL with Ubuntu?
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
your Danny
Not that I know of, there are a few htcs that are part of the unbricking project and those have potential but you'd have to google search or check your phones forum to see if its part of it
Most often though jtag is your only option if you have no bootloader

Dannyrose1993,
My sensation xl also won't charge, no led and no boot load screen or anything. Its completely dead. You mentioned about using eMMC software download. And your phone is in download mode. Can you explain me how to use eMMC software download. Its been a month I have been searching for its solution. Did you have further luck resolving the issue?
Thanks
