So I followed the instructions here:

and as best I know everything is all good...install is in and the phone is working properly.
Here's details:

1. so, i get on boot a HTC warning at the bottom of the screen...I attribute that to the Dev unlock from HTC...? Can I get rid of that?
2a. is this version the true Google Play version?
2b. does Google see my phone as a Google Play phone, and will update from Google?

1) Out of curiosity, are you S-on or S-off?
2a) Yes, it contains the system and boot from the GE.....but
2b) No it won't work for OTA updates- this version and method doesn't (re)install the stock bootloader, or stock firmware. In other words, it doesn't do a complete GE conversion which is a bit more involved and necessary for OTA right now.
i can't seem to get s-off at all. i've tried moonshine, all in one, and running revone from the phones command line.
seems REVONE might be the thing holding me up. I've tried downloading it a few times, from different links. All version 0.2.1 but just fails...
EDIT:
now ADB doesn't see my phone, however I was still able to use All In One to re-lock and then unlock the bootloader by getting the phone into fastboot...for some reason CMD isn't seeing it now. USB debugging is on, and the computer sees the phone. HTC sync won't recognize it either.

This sounds like a HTC driver issue on your PC. I had a similar issue where I could run cmd fastboot commands, but not adb..... I think I just uninstalled/reinstalled HTC Sync which resolved it.
uninstalled the 2 HTC items i could find in the Programs list. Re-installed, but no luck same error...ah boy.

I had the same problem with my One all I did to fix it was to redo the path for adb and fastboot

I did a search and it doesnt seem like anyone else had my problem. Basically, I'm on stock ICS with S-On, unlocked. I saw that the S-Off method now supports ICS and decided to give it a try.
I have all HTC drivers installed, downloaded jbear, extracted it to a directory all by itself, ran as admin..
All is going fine until my phone reboots to the green arrow screen. Then it just waits for the device, except it cant find my phone. I get an error message asking me to check my adb and fastboot drivers.
If I have the HTC drivers installed, doesn't that automatically give me the adb and fastboot drivers?
I've tried on 2 computers now, and still no luck. I've been flashing ICS all day. Help!
no, you need to have Android Development kit.. or w/e its called lol, I forgot its name..
either way, just get it from here:

So I just download it, install it, and then I can attempt S-off again?
Anything special I need to do?
FINALLY got it to work. This was a crap shoot for me. Basically, what was happening was that I get stuck on the green arrow screen because Windows refused to recognize my phone as a phone ONLY ON THAT SCREEN, so my device manager didn't have an 'Android Phone' device. What I did to get it to recognize my phone was to relock my phone in fastboot, and then unlock it again in fastboot. And poof! My phone was recognized as an Android Phone on the green arrow screen. Got S-Off on 1st try

Dear All,
I am a newbie on this so please bear with me. I did take the time out to read up on some of the basics before I posted this but I am not familiar with most of the acronyms.
I bought a HTC One X+ with no power button. The seller claimed he bought the phone as is and didnt know if the phone worked or not.
When I received it, I placed a power button and put it on charge. Within minutes the phone loaded with the 3 logo (UK) but to the bootloader screen. I tried all the various options from Hboot, Restart, Restart with Bootloader and Power Down. When I choose HBoot, I get the following error:
sd checking....
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) Failed to open USB master mode
loading image....
Failed to open USB master mode
Plug off device.
When I try to power down, it simply restarts. When I choose Recovery, nothing works. I just keep coming back to the bootloader screen no matter what I do.
I read the following thread but I didnt understand some of it, eg RUU. I assume this is the type of ROM that is flashed to the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940194
I have tried connecting phone to the laptop to see if I can see the drive in windows explorer. Laptop recognises the HTC phone in System Device (loaded HTC Sync Manager from HTC website) but it wont recognise the phone's drive. When I try to use the CMD box, i get same issue. It cannot find the phone's storage, therefore I cannot write anything to the phone.
It seems like whoever tried to flash this phone which is on the 3 network made a hash of it, as from reading the above thread, it looks like 3 networked HTC One X cannot be unlocked.
Therefore is it possible to get this phone back to working mode as it was, given the issues I am having.
Any help will be mightily appreciated! :good:
Thanks

you got those "errors" because you have the usb cable plugged in too soon.

I have tried it with cable in early and late. It is the same issue
I just realised it is NOT on the 3 network, that is my HTC One X! Cant believe I got that mixed up!
Actually I dont know what network this is on as I cant get out of bootloader!
I have been informed by a friend that the phone needs to be s-off before it can be flashed. How can I do this?
this device DOES NOT need s-off so your friend is talking out of his ass,
the guide to flash ruu's is in the general section
also there is NO WAY to s-off the X+

I keep getting signature errors everytime I try a different UK network RUU! I dont even know what this signature error means!
Also how do I know which RUU to use as there are so many different types. Any help will be gladly appreciated
I have followed Hasoon's directions using his utility tool. I have managed to unlock the phone but cant get beyond that.
Every single viable HTC One X+ RUU I use simply doesnt work. I cant access the USB drive to my phone (prob because the person previously never ticked USB Debugging when he/she attempted to root the phone) so cannot transfer the RUU files to my phone.
I have tried to run the original RUU for this phone but it keeps giving me an error. I have no idea what to do next. I have read all the posts on the General Forum for instructions on ADB, rooting, unlocking, RUUs etc.
I would truly be thankful if I can get some assistance here please.

where in the UK are you? if you are close to me i can sort it out for you. Also you need to relock the bootloader put the device into bootloader > fastboot usb and THEN run the correct RUU

I am in Manchester. I have relocked the bootloader but now the phone wont charge. I have seen a post here how to fix that, so I will try that.
I have done the above but I simply do not know what the correct RUU is. How do I even know which is right? I have tried around 10 so far and none have worked.
Fixed It!!!!
I cant believe it! I fixed it!!!!
I accidentally came up on a post here on this forum looking for something else and a member discussed the same problem as me. The reason why he was getting the signature error etc because he had the wrong recovery loaded.
I therefore loaded the latest TWRP version from here (link provided from General Settings) - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/enrc2b
I didnt use Hasoon's recovery as TWRP is user friendly. I relocked the phone, loaded the correct RUU and it worked!
So to summarise this is how I fixed my phone
1. Downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
2. Rooted the phone
3. Unlocked the phone
4. Flashed latest recovery file using his toolkit (Your Own Recovery)
5. Loaded the correct RUU - RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe from http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=ENRC2B
NB to know which RUU to use, go into bootloader and you will see the RUU details at the top part of the screen - in my case it was Radio_3.1204.168.32. Also when I tried to run any RUU.exe file it told me the version I had was 1.17.401.1. I searched for it on the android files and found the above RUU to match my RUU. This I guess is the stock RUU.
As a newbie, it can be very tough trying to understand this, but this forum is just awesome!! I am an accountant by profession, and I cant believe I figured how to fix an HTC One X+ by going through this forum! The FAQ has it all - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337
Thanks to everyone who gave their advice here!
I am now going to try performance tweaks next as I am feeling confident

Ok so I have been looking for a few days on how to fix this and have navigated to about every thread from here and xda and still haven't done anything but make things worse.haha Here is my situation.
My evo v 4g is relocked but i am getting the security warning (which makes it to where I can't flash any recovery files, ruu, etc... through the bootloader)
When I relocked my device it also took away my recovery which i had no idea it would do until it was too late. So now I can't even get into any recovery,
Adb and fastboot won't read my device for some reason. They were reading it for a little while until i relocked my bootloader.
I can't run any ruu because my computer won't read that my phone is connected, it just tells me that my device isn't plugged in (and i have downloaded all the drivers from htc sync)
I'm S-ON 1.57 Hboot
relocked bootloader (with security warning)
NO recovery, NO adb, NO fastboot, NO ruu, and NO flashing through hboot.
Any idea what I might be able to do to get my phone to function again? Any ideas would be great because I've tried them all.
Don't panic
I think, that you use fasboot on linux, and Windows doesn't recognize your phone, when he is in bootloader. True?
When you use Linux system like Fedora or Ubuntu and you install important package to run fastboot (from Android SDK), your phone is visible
If you more help, write there.
get the latest drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
just uninstall htc sync. its a worthless piece of crap software
and try changing usb ports to see if that helps.
sure enough, I just didn't have the right drivers installed. Stupid HTC sync. Thank you so much, I literally have been messing with this for probably over 50hrs now trying everything I could think of. Figures it would be something so simple.lol You rock!!!!!!!!!!!
lucky it was just the drivers though
I can't for the life of me get adb to recognize my max. It's Verizon, H-boot 2.46. Trying to root and unlock. I've tried everything here....nothing. A little help please.
Only thing I can suggest, because it's happened to me, is to make sure you have the correct, most current device drivers loaded on your PC.

Are you unlocked, s-off, and rooted? Do you have developer options activated on your phone? Please explain what you´ve done up till now.
What happens when you type adb reboot. Does it start and not find it or come back with command not recognized?

it doesn't find anything. I haven't been able to root s-off or anything because adb cant find my device. Do I need adb files in rumrunner folder on C drive to make it recognize it and work or what the hell am I doing wrong? I have rooted and s-offed every htc device I have ever owned...this one isn't working out. It's showing as a portable media player not android device. In the past I remember when I connected the usb I had the option to select media storage or connect as android.

my rumrunner folder was still in my downloads folder no where near my adb files and everything worked ok for me. also my Max shows up as a media device also but adb/fastboot still working fine. did you try to reinstall your adb with the link I provided in the above post, its the only thing that helped me when I was having pretty much the same problem as you.
you may also need to unlocked dev tools in your settings... have you done that yet
Where and how do you unlock developer tools...haven't found that under anything in the settings?

Enter Settings, then scroll down to about... pick "Software Information" -- then "More" --- Then press the "Build" 8 times fast. You´ll then have access to the developer tools.
Well thanks for the help. still can't get anything to work, guess this will be the first device I've owned that will never be rooted unless I find something that tells me what to put where and what to do.

Don't know if you guys ever got this issue solved or not. I'm having the same issue S-on, cannot get adb devices command to recognize my t6spr for the life of me. on Hboot 2.46, it will detect the USB device malfunction if I put the device in fastboot mode, but thats about it. Device manager shows Unknown USB (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Tried the KB update for devices that fail enumeration on Windows 8.1 for x64 but the update package said my system is not affected so that never installed. Tried the alternative miniadb pakage previously mentioned but didnt seem to have an affect installing fastboot, adb, and drivers, across the system universally. Just not having any luck apparently. I guess I could just sell the phone Tampered and Unlocked haha with no fingerprint scanner functionality, flash ViperRom or some other stock look alike ROM. Was just really hoping to go back completely stock. At one point it time I was trying different PCs to see if it was just a system issue for me. Occasionally it seemed like if I let it sit in Fastboot AC it would eventually get detected and flip over to Fastboot USB long enough for me to push a couple commands to the phone. I have the right RUU but it dosent do me any good if the computer cant see the phone haha. Now no computer seems to recognize it. It all seemed to happen after I tried to S-Off the device with Firewater's method. Idk if I bricked something because it never worked or changed a CID or some other ID to where the USB isnt recognizable, but all I can get this phone to do is take an electric current from the USB, lol thats about it. I thought I had it fixed enough to where I knew what to do if i absolutely needed to get fastboot to recognize the phone but now, nothing.
Just a curiousity question here....a bad usb cable can produce this also...read through posts didnt see anyone trying a new cable...
ok so im having a few problems with my rooting process. one i have to manually put my device into fastboot since doing it threw my windows 7 CMD just seems to not work since it will say device offline. then once i do get to fastboot i run into my second problem. the recovery.img seems to be frozen during the sending process. in fact its still trying to send it to my device. my device is unloocked. what am i doing wrong? or am i missing something? i followed another titorial on here and im still stuck. mostly on the recovery.img part. it just doesnt seem to send. just sits there saying its sending it.please help if you can.
says S-On . how do i gewt it to say s-off?

Sounds like you need to update to the latest version of ADB/FASTBOOT the "device offline" is usually due to an incomatible older version of ADB. Get the latest version on your PC then make sure that ADB is working before trying fastboot.

We don't have an S-off solution for this phone yet but it is not required for root, although you will need to flash jmz's insecure kernel for changes to "/system" to stick after reboot even when rooted,

That's info that more people should have. The right usb cord can be difference between failure & success. I remember I went through 6 different usb cables jailbreaking my atv2.
For this phone, however, I just used the one that came with it. But I found the automated process to be sticky (not a tech term) it seemed to freeze a lot during the process.
I wound up plugging and replugging the usb when it froze.
It rooted my phone, installed twrp but needed to flash jmz kernel manually. The root tool works though. And to be honest, until I read this I didn't even think that a different cable might fix those issues in the automated process.
The other night for fun I rooted an old kindle hd and I needed to unplug and replug to get that to work. I was using the same cable that came with HTC desire.
***Anyone ever use a fastboot cable? Apparently u need one to install a 2nd boot loader on kindle hd and I'm wondering if that type of cable would resolve issues like this? That's a question not a go ahead to try it. I know very little about that and don't know if it could possibly cause more serious issues. They're cheap on eBay and I'm getting one for the kfhd.
