Please i'm desperately in need of assistance. I tried to root hy htc one xl. After unlocking bootloader with the instructions from htcdev.com website, I tried to root it with insecurebootandboot method. The phone restarted after that and started showing some red text about copywrite. I tried to fix it by flashing a custom rom and now when I switch on the phone, it just shows the htc logo and switches off. Please any help will be greatly appreciated but keep it as simple as possible as I am still a newbie
Pretty sure the red text is normal after the unlock. For the rom flash, did you also flash the boot.img via fastboot? I am certain that would have been in the instructions for installation of the rom, as it is standard for 99% of HTC Dev unlocked phones.
Also, which HTC One XL do you have? Is it from a particular region or carrier as that can be important to which files are needed to fix it. And what update was it on?
Yes I flashed it via fastboot and its an unlocked htc one xl, not attached to any carrier. Its running on stock android 4.1

Hi!
I recently got an HTC Desire X, my first Android phone, and I decided to try CyanogenMod. However, I ended up with a bricked (turn on, HTC logo, carrier logo, HTC logo, freeze) phone, so now all I'd love is to get the stock ROM back.
Here's what I did:
1. Unlocked my bootloader following the instructions on htcdev.com
2. Installed CWM recovery
3. Followed the instructions for CM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337389), rebooted
4. Cursed a lot
The problem is, I didn't check my HBOOT version, or my CID - being new to all this, I didn't even realize I should have - and they're the main problem.
The stock ROM I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239511) requires HBOOT 1.25.0002 (Mine is 1.24.0000).
Other ways I found were for specific CIDs I don't have - my CID is T-MOB004 (I got this phone from a Czech carrier, and I thought the customization goes only skin deep - guess not).
I have no idea what to do now, and I'd love if anybody could be of any help. Thank you!
I'm not at a computer so I can't give links. But search for thr ICS nandroid backup thread in general. There are stock backups for your hboot there
Does the different CID not matter, then?
I'm sorry, but it looks like the links to the TMOB backup are down atm. So you won't be able to return to stock. What you can do, however, is flashing an ICS Sense ROM (like ShadowDX or similar) along with the correct boot.img. Also, you could try a JB ROM of your choice together with Infinity kernel (it's the only JB sense kernel fitting in ICS hboot). That kernel can be found here.
I was just about to post how flashing a correct hboot ROM didn't work, but then it booted up as it should, yay. I suppose that was all there was to it, to flash a correct ROM
I'll make back-ups from now on, thanks!
Hello, I know that this question has been asked several times, but I have seen a lot of conflicting information and just wanted to get an up to date answer, so here goes.
I am sending my AT&T HTC One back as I am getting a new one: I claimed a warranty exchange because of the pink camera tint issue. Now, I have an unlocked bootloader, but it says S-ON, and there is no "Unlocked" word on the start screen. Fastboot screen says "Tampered" though. I would like to know the right way to flash stock 4.3 ROM on it and unroot it before I send it back. Will my S-ON affect this process in any way? Suggestions and any links to ROMs or other posts are very welcome.
Thanks!
For anyone else having this problem:
1. Download the Guru Reset M7 1.26.502.12 zip file from htc1guru.com
2. Boot to TWRP and flash this zip file: make sure to unroot and install stock recovery and radio in the AROMA installer.
3. Connect a USB OTG cable and a mouse, because the touchscreen will not work when you flash it from a higher firmware.
4. Go through the initial steps and restart your phone a few times so that AT&T will finally get the OTA upgrade.
5. Install OTA upgrade, restart. Now you're running stock everything.
Your bootloader will still be unlocked : You can 'relock' it from fastboot, but I guess AT&T won't notice it because there will be no more red text on the initial HTC splash screen.
Hi,
I know there are a million and one threads detailing how to get a HTC Desire X back to original status but with every thread I read I'm getting more and more confused
I have to send the phone back to the manufacturer and obviously need to undo what I've done.
I never actually managed to root the phone - only to unlock the bootloader and install clockworkrecoverymod. I should probably have asked for help then but life got in the way.
The CID of the phone is [HTC__001] and it's a european phone (bought via amazon in the uk if that's any help).
I'm thinking that all I have to do is to remove clockwork recovery mod and relock the bootloader?
Does anyone know how I can remove cwm? or is it stuck there and the relocking of the bootloader will render it hidden?
And with the installation of cwm, is this why I cannot reset my phone to factory data settings? I attempt to and it reboots (even using clockwork recovery mod) but I boot up the phone and it still has everything on it.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks
I received an OTA update on my AT&T M9 and proceeded to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, and forgot to make a backup of my system before flashing a new rom. Now I can't get any rom to load properly, and can't run the RUU program from HTC on any of my computers. Does anyone have a way of retrieving an official AT&T firmware zip or any solution? I'm at my wit's end, and HTC was no help at all. The phone is S-On, to make matters worse. And any rom I flash that manages to get to the welcome screen hangs at "Connecting to Wi-fi" forever.
Managed to fix it, had to S-Off to reset my firmware version, but to anyone who screwed up like I did, this is the AT&T Marshmallow update to the HTC One. Fixed my problem, and allowed me to restart from the beginning. To anyone that reads this, $25 is a small price to pay for an S-Off.

Hello ! So I got this one max, it suddenly started to bootloop out of no where. So I decided to unlock bootloader and flash a stock rom.
However, after flashing the unlocktoken, the screen on my one max asks if I'm sure I want to proceed, I select yes but the phone just restarts and the phone doesn't unlock.I said to myself maybe if i flash a firmware it will work, i typed "fastboot oem rebootRUU" but the phone just restarted instead of giving me the black screen with grey HTC logo
HTC DEV website is where you need to go and follow on-screen instructions to completely and successfully unlock your bootloader.
For stock rom flashing you don't need to unlock bootloader unless you're planning on Rooting and installing Custom Recovery, at this point it seems that you're stock. You need to either adb a custom recovery and flash a firmware or you're stuck and only need to adb over stock IMG file perhaps or something of the sort. I would recommend googling this and see what you find.
I myself have a problem... I cannot seem to re-lock my bootloader, I have followed every single guide in the entire world... Including Scotty's Guide here on XDA. I even tried to GURU Zip Aroma Installer, didn't work either. It's a waste of time.
Sometimes you get stuck bad. GL
