about to brick my phone??? - HTC One Max

alright so heres the deal. im on my second one max after selling my first one foolishly! anyway this one has hboot 2.49 and it has been a NIGHTMARE to s-off. NOTHING has worked. drivers installed, uninstalled, anti virus uninstalled, installed, everything i can think of. anyway i did some searching around and found this..http://androidcure.com/unbrick-htc-one-max-stock-firmware/ i do assume this is a european rom but the guts of the phone are the same. im wondering if this will lower the hboot to previous version as well.
thoughts? am i gonna brick my phone?
prompt replies appreciated

Always remember on a HTC one m7 if you tried flashing a hboot to down grade without being soff I think you ran the risk of bricking. Any more info on phone is it rooted boot loader unlocked. Are you using firewater. if you enter adb devices does the device show. Is it on a stock Rom. Have you tried temp root and firewater route. Etc

it is s-on
2.49 h boot
2.16.605.2 stock rom
4.4.2
i can temproot with weaksause but cannot really get farther because im always getting device offline.

Before you try anything when you try adb devices it says offline... Best bet is make sure HTC sync is removed antivirus off etc. Maybe reboot your laptop/pc. Have you got the say most recent mini-sdk for adb and fastboot usb debugging on etc

You could always try. Abit surprised it hasn't work ed have you tried weaksauce method? It would help if you were on Verizon I think it is.

HTC unlock method will not work. I flash the token and it just sits there...Im trying to revert to .2 so I can actually unlock, like I have with two other 3d's but the friggin RUU exe tells me bootloader version error which is 140, I believe. I should know, I saw it 356 times last night.

Tried that a million times last night. And just now, just because.
I took a video of the process because I couldnt read what the RUU was saying. After updating signature, very quickly it says Checking Header...then it says checking MID/CID and then I get the screen that is attached! [Expletive deleted!]

It is locked. Its new. That screen comes from the .2 RUU exe.
I havent tried anything with adb. I havent used adb since the Evo4g. Have a link?
I have tried running the RUU with windows, I have tried PG86IMG.zip's, Ive tried RUU's while already being in fastboot. When I try using PG86IMG's through hboot, it loads the file, checks the file then dumps me back at the Hboot screen.

Adb is what most folks use to do all there stuff. You have to have adb installed to do the HTC devs route from what I have read. So the phone is locked and your tryin to root it. But are gettin errors ?
So your phone now is hboot 1.5 and is currently up to date and your tryin to root it HTC dev route but get errors?

Yeah exactly. But posted on xda, you cant htc dev it with any software other than 2.08.651.2, which for some bizarre ass reason, I cant downgrade to!
I tweeted the other day "when the **** did adb move?!". so thats how long ago I used it. Im familiar with it, I used to delete all my bloat with adb, which was a painstaking process.

Thanks dude. Hopefully we can unlocked and junk. Did I mention I also love the reaper? Multiple reaper tattoos inspired by children of bodom album art. But I digress.
It would be nice if HTC updated their bootloader unlock method but frankly, I dont see that happening. I called them today and they dont support anything.

Sorry if the answers im looking for are somewhere else but i cant find them. Im not new to the rooting game but it has been awhile, last phone rooted was the original evo and ive fallen behind on the new software and such. anyways ive rooted successfully and am running hboot 1.19 with s-on. for some reason i get the same error message when flasing a rom saying that sdcard cannot be found. do i need to be running s-off with 1.19 to flash roms? Thanks!

Hopefully that all that is needed... but S-OFF is the way to go if you can do it. It will save you so many headaches in the future. HTC is making it harder on s-on people to do anything to their phone, this started with the 3.15 JB update and will probably get worse. S-OFF my friend S-OFF

Hold the phone. Flashing TOO new of a recovery (like TWRP 2.4.1) can also cause problems. There's something that the dev has to place in the ROM in order to be compatible with 2.4.1. May I suggest you try 2.3.1? It seems to be the "sweet spot" and works with most ROMs out there today.

[Q] Help Updating Unlocked AT&T HTC One x+ to Android 4.2.2

Hello guys, This is my first post on these forums so excuse me if I'm not posting on the right thread.
Recently I purchased an HTC One X+ from AT&T and unlocked it with an unlock code I got from them.
Since the 4.2.2 android update for my HOX+ is out I want to install it, but everytime I click "Check for Updates" nothing happens. It just looks for updates and that's it, it sends me back to the "Check for updates" screen and nothing pops up.
I was wondering if I could update my device manually through my PC or something because I really want the new android version.
I currently live at Mexico, which is why I unlocked it.
I'd really appreciate some help, thanks in advance.
P.S I'm kinda new to android devices but I WILL do everything I can to provide you guys with information about my device if necessary.
EDIT: I'm downloading Sync Manager, I just read somewhere that I can perform software updates to my phone with it... heh, I didn't know that, dumb me. I just hope it works.
EDIT2: aaaaaand apparently sync manager doesn't do ****. lmao, Help please?
I was in your position a few months ago, I'm not in the states so I wasnt able to get the 4.2 update, I had to unlock bootloader. root, flash a recovery, make a back up in recovery mode and flash a custom ROM..
This was very helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
I'm currently running MagioRom and I love it!
Ensure you make a back up in Recovery Mode before flashing.

Once the RUU is re-released by HTC you can use that to update to 4.2.2 and Sense 5. By unlocked do you mean sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked? If you are bootloader unlocked you will need to relock before you can run the RUU. Either way the RUU is the only way to update since you are not on AT&T's network and it will wipe your phone completly so back up everything you want to keep.
Thanks a lot for your answers! By unlocked I meant SIM unlocked, so, I WILL have to root and all that stuff to get 4.2.2? Hm, Oh well, if HTC re-releases the RUU I'll have to install it the same way?... Any good ways of backing up my stuff? Thanks in advance c:

The new RUU should be released soon, they just need to fix a problem with the one they released and then took off the website.
If you root in the mean time you will need to relock your bootloader before you can run the RUU. I backed up my SD card(virtual SD card) simply by installing the HTC drivers then plugging in the USB cable then copy the folder to a location on your computer.

If you are rooted you can't run the RUU you have to have a locked bootloader to run the RUU. Once it is available just download it and run it on your computer(windows computer) then follow the directions. You will need the HTC drivers installed and yes it will wipe everything.

Help recover my Evo 4G LTE

I would like to start out with saying that I am not new to rooting/roms but a lot has changed since I went to iOS. I have TWRP accessible and I can push files to my /sdcard/
I have tried several rooms but all of them fail to install.
Can someone please tell me the steps I need to take to go back to either stock or have another ROM working? (RUU fails as well, however it does detect the phone)
Any help is appreciated and trust me I spent hours reading threads so not just posting this for an easy way out.

First, this should probably be in the Q&A section
Second, gonna need WAY more info about your phone. I assume you're rooted? S-off or S-on? What hboot version are you on? What version of TWRP are you currently using? What ROM are you on now? What RUU are you trying to use? Gonna have to give a little bit for us to work with.
Edit: Your signature also says you have the Evo Shift? Are you on the write forum?

Is your goal to flash another ROM or to go back to stock?
If you're going to be trying to flash another ROM I'd highly recommend running rumrunner and getting s-off. Otherwise there are a lot of hoops you'll need to jump through in order to flash ROMs (for starters, you'll need to flash the kernel separately).

Whichever one is faster, I just want the phone up and running again.
So it's not running at all now? I'm assuming you can boot into bootloader and recovery but nothing else, right? You can run an RUU while in fastboot if I recall, which will give you at least a usable phone. That's also probably the fastest thing to do.
After that I'd highly recommend using rumrunner to get s-off. Otherwise flashing new ROMs will be a bear.

RUU fails with errors and it gets stuck at "HTC" screen
Do you have HTC Sync installed on your computer?

Ah, I think something else made me delete it.
That'll do it. You need to have HTC Sync and all of the necessary drivers to run the RUU

D'oh! I bet your bootloader is still unlocked. It needs to be relocked before running the RUU.
Fastboot command 'fastboot oem lock' ought to do the trick.

Did you have your antivirus disabled when attempting this? If you didnt, it will fail...I know from experience.

I would disable the antivirus and try to run it again, also make sure you downloaded the right files.

I don't think that exploit works on hboot 2.49. But I believe you maybe able to use sunshine. Just Google it.

You are correct, I was going to mention Firewater (I believe it's called), but then noticed that he can't even get the phone to boot properly...or at least that's how I understood it.

You need to go find an intl Rom in the dev section and use twrp to sideload it via adb.
