So my ATT One X is boot looped. How I got here. Used Hasoon2000's kit to change CID and get unlock code from HTC to unlock boot loader, all was good in life. Continued down that road and install TWRP and rooted with no problems, life was still all good. For some reason at this point I thought it would be a good idea to load a stock rom without all of the ATT crap in it. This is where life started to not be so good. I failed to download a rom from the correct forum and loaded what I take it now is not a ATT One X compatible rom. From that point on I've been stuck in a boot loop from the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen.
I've tried loading several different roms (cynogen, slim, and others) I've tried a TWRP stock backup that I'd found here on this forum also. All to the same end. Phone rebooting over and over at the HTC screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

So I'm trying to install a custom rom on a friends sprint evo 3d.
We unlocked it the HTC method btw.
We can't install any Rom onto it. I've wiped it completley multiple times. When I try to start any rom it, it just sits on the HTC screen.
Could I get some help please?

I recommend getting s-off since it makes flashing roms substantially easier. This thread by ramjet73 is the easiest way to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

What do you do if the ruu doesn't see the phone and it won't install any roms

Do you have the drivers installed if you're on a windows PC? If not, download HTC sync and install it. Then uninstall it but leave the drivers installed.

Well I felt pretty dumb finding out these ruu programs need you to be booted into android for it to start the process. I tryed one of the pg85img zip files and it got to the part where it said checking, when it finished it did nothing, no errors or anything just went back to the main boot loader screen.
I've never had a bricked phone before, could this be possible? Any Roms installed, they don't even show a boot animation, just stays on the HTC screen.
My brother said before all this was happening, he tryed using an ruu and it failed saying something about check your USB cable.

you didn't brick it.
However if I'm not severely mistaken PG85IMG is for the Amaze 4G and not the Evo 3D... so don't try that again... as it will likely brick your phone if you force it.
you say your phone goes into a bootloop whichever rom you install? did you wipe data/cache/dalvik?
I second coal686's suggestion about S-OFF as some (a LOT) of roms have problems with higher hboot versions.
I don't even get to the boot animation, it is stuck on the HTC screen.

can you boot into recovery? (vol down+ power)
if so flash the contents of a RUU through fastboot
Thanks anyways guys, he ended up selling the phone. I fixed the galaxy s 2 his friend gave him, so he has that now.
But boy do I miss sense. I never got to fully use sense 4

Me and my friend have been trying to root his HTC Thunderbolt and we thought everything was going pretty smoothly. We found one of the versions of the Liquid ICS and moved that to his SD card and we unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev site and everything was working just fine. We even got to the point where we could flash CWM onto the device and even that seemed to go smoothly. But after we flashed clockwork onto the phone we were only able to get to recovery. Anytime we try to boot into the rom that we installed it just sits on the white HTC screen. We've wiped data, dalvik and cache, which is a common cause for bootlooping and common errors as such. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, my friend is concerned about not having a phone and is actually considering purchasing a phone for retail price off of amazon, and I really think thats a waist considering this phone isn't bricked, and I think the geniuses here at XDA can definitely help us out of this pickle. Thanks in advanced - Randy

Your first problem is that you used HTC dev. You need to relock the bootloader and use the allinone tool to unlock get root and s off. The problem is that liquid ice has a custom kernel and you can't flash those with a locked bootloader.

Could you link me to a thread on how to do that without getting your computer to recognize the phone? Because as is, the phone can't be recognized seeing as it won't boot and its either stuck at a white screen, on HTC's boot loader *which is unlocked*, or clockwork recovery mod.
Before you setup your phone you need to fast boot flash a stock ruu. You should have made a nand in cwm before you ever attempted to flash a rom. If you did you wouldn't have this problem right now. You could just restore that backup in recovery and you would be rooted stock. Then you could follow the relock procedure and use the allinone tool to unlock and get s off.

Well that would be where we screwed up. we never made the nandroid back up and we kept trying to flash the RUU onto the phone via HBOOT but that doesn't work either. It says that is radio version 1.49.etc. inside of the bootloader.
You will need to give me more info about your radios. What baseband are you running?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Alright so I dropped it off with my good friend Ryan and he was able to manually flash the RUU onto the phone and got it to boot stock. So we are done with our phone adventures for a little while. Thanks for offering to help, but we got it all solved
Now that you're root stock you can relock and then use the all in one tool.

I have the 32g AT&T version and I rooted it Friday night. Ran the AIO toolkit and didn't seem to have any issues. But I've noticed in Bootloader above where it says "Unlocked" it also says "Tampered". I have never seen or heard of that before so I don't know if it's normal or not. But I'm having other issues as well. Any backup I have made won't boot. Every single one says "MD5 mismatch". I've flashed a few ROMs and about half of the time any Rom I try won't boot. It just goes into bootloop. I always wipe and do everything as it's supposed to be done. I even had a few freeze my phone up in the middle of flashing. A fee time with AndRev 7.0 (in Aroma) and also with the AT&T specific ROMs. I don't know if I e done something wrong or what. Has anyone else had these kind of issues? Is the Bootloader saying "Tampered" normal? I only have a few days left of being able to return this for another one so I'd like to figure it out before that time runs out. When I am able to flash a Rom successfully they typically run pretty smooth. I just flashed TWRP from CWM to see if that's the culprit so I'm hoping that's it

I am seeing tampered too. Did you "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"?
I used the All In One Toolkit to do it. I put CWM on first but flashed TWRP this morning to see if it changes anything
Do you get the red development message when you boot up?

Yes I did. I also have tampered.
I haven't flashed any roms because it's confusing as hell, and some requires boot.img. coming from Samsung devices, this is all new.

Oh and I've been a lot of people boot looping. Either devs are not posting step by step instructions on how to flash roms or just assume everyone knows what their doing and makes it harder for newbies switching to an HTC device

Tampered and development is normal if you are unlocked. If you are new and don't know how to flash roms, don't blame developers.

I got "UNLOCKED" when I unlocked the bootloader and "TAMPERED" when I rooted.

Here's a quick rundown:
Unlocked is shown when you unlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Tampered is shown when a nonstock boot.img is flashed. Thus, when rooting a nonsecure boot.img is flashed.
For those questioning flashing. ALL International ROMs can be flashed on ATT Ones. You can flash any ROM normally through your your custom recovery of choice. There is zero need for flashing a boot.img in fastboot as we are able to do so via HTVDev unlock.
Help me please, I am a noob. So yesterday, I flashed Modaco Switch for HTC One when my battery is low (20%). Now it wont let me pass the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I've searched the solution for hours and still, no luck on finding it out. But I see some thread that suggest me to download a new rom and put it in my SD Card, but I cant even pass the HTC boot up screen. Btw, I've relocked and unrooted my device. Thx to all of u guys too

I don't have a HTC phone but I am sure that if you download the PC suit of HTC and try to update or repair it your phone will be at the original i.e at Stock ROM.Hope it helps
Well if you relocked your device then the only thing would be to flash an RUU through bootloader
What I would suggest is to try to unlock your bootloader again if you can, flash a custom recovery, then flash ROM
And being it sounds as if you were using the HTC dev unlocked bootloader method you will probably need to flash the kernel through fastboot as well
If you get things up and running again seriously consider obtaining s-off, pretty sure this is possible on an HTC one but its been a while since I've looked through those threads

Hi All, I'm new to this so please be gentle.
I think i've managed to brick my phone. I had rooted it with a stock rom then I tried to put a custom rom on. The phone just sat on the
HTC
QUIETLY BRILLIANT screen.
I assumed that the boot.img was missing so went to do it using the all in one toolkit but somehow I manged to relock the bootloader again.
I am now in the position where I cant get into recovery, I can get into bootloader(locked) but I dont seem to be able to communicate with my PC.
HELP PLEASE
Unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery (use adb),the redo the whole process.
Yeah 'qwesta' is right. You should unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery

All sorted
Thanks Guys I have sorted it.
I eventually followed your advise but at first had to cure the problem of a low battery. I sorted the battery out by using a batch file I found on XDA Developers which reboots the phone constantly and charges a little bit at a time. I took a couple of hours but my phone eventually had enough battery to let me unlock it and once that was done I could charge with no problem. I charged it up for a while then loaded the rom and boot image again and hey presto all back to life.
Thanks again Guys
