About a year ago I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 (bootloader unlocked, S-off, custom recovery - TWRP), everything worked great until about 2 weeks ago. I noticed that certain apps/data were getting corrupted/deleteing themselves. Finally a couple days ago it just stopped booting to the OS. I can still access hBoot and TWRP recovery, still mount most of it and access via USB/PC, but my E: /data partition will not mount.
I have been doing research the past couple days, trying multiple things, but I'm worried about trying somethings in fear of making it worse. I have basic knowledge, but no expert. Here are my current software specs:
HTC One X (ATT Version)
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL (Somehow this changed itself back ok)
HBOOT-1.14.002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
TWRP version 2.3.3.1
I have tried running the RUU, but its not detecting the phone, and I also read this is dangerous is you don't have S-Off. Is there a way to delete the /data partition and remake it? I have backed up all relevant data so I can do whatever needs to be done.
I have no clue where to start, and what order things need to be done in, with which version numbers. If anyone can help I would truly appreciate it! :crying: I am tempted to run it over in my car (several times) and have insurance replace it (so they can't tell I voided the warranty, lol ) if I cant get it working. I would be glad to supply any other info you might need about my situation,
Thanks in advance for your time and effort, this is such a great community. -- Eclipsys

Hi to all. This is my first post so please bear with me. This seemed the most appropriate place to post so I apologize if this is the wrong area. I also know the problem I'm about to present has been talked about before but I ask the community for more advanced help due to the fact I have done some research on trying to get myself out of trouble but I've had no luck.
The problem is with my HTC One X. I did have a unlocked boot loader and root access. I also have clockwork mod installed but no back up (yes my fault i know). Anyway the problem first started when the new system update went to install on my device. It wouldn't install so I did a factory reset to see if that would solve the problem. It didn't. So i accessed my recovery menu from adr and formatted everything. Bearing in mind this was at half past 2 in the morning and I'd been up for about 18 hours. Anyway yeah I formatted everything (again my fault) so now my phone is stuck at the htc screen. I'd be grateful if someone could point me to the rom it would of had out of the box and an explanation to install everything properly so my phone is back in that condition (or as near to).
Phone information:
Vodafone UK
Boot loader Unlocked

I have tried several different roms like htc revolution, a vodafone uk rom i found that was of no use. I tried installing from zips on SD and revolution installed but was still stuck on htc screen.
Any other information needed I will provide and again i apologize from dragging up a already opened topic and if ive posted in the wrong place.
Many thanks to anyone whos willing to help
tnx
Hello all!
First of all, I think this website is awesome, lots of usefull stuff and information, you guys doing a great job. By guides on this site I was able to unlock my phone, root it and install all kinds of different ROMS. With those guides it was very easy! However now I seem to stupid to restore my HTC ONE (TMO-101) back to stock. What I exactly want? Just completly restore it to default. After hours of doing and reading stuff, I just gave up. I think I made it even worse as before. I used and restored an backup (old one) from original state. But! I cannot update with the OTA pushed. Seems I first have to put back the original recovery and unroot the device. I thought that an RUU would be the solution, however I cannot find any for my version or in other words one that actually works for me! Then I thought ok lets try the backups made by someone else and restore those, recovery tool is not working anymore... If you could provide me with the correct steps and tools to perform this, I would be very thankfull! Because I'm totally lost....
My HTC ONE current state:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT 1.44
Android version 4.1.2
* Used Clockmod recovery before but it does not seem to work anymore, so basically no recovery atm.
Thanks in advance for looking in to my issue!

I was in the same boat as you last night, I thought I bricked my phone, but thanks to this post, I was able to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496074
First you have to relock your bootloader, it's quite easy. Go to your fastboot folder on your computer (the same one you used to unlock your phone) open command prompt there (Shift + right click) then type fastboot oem lock then run that RUU that I posted and it will restore you to 100% stock, like you just took it out of the box.
Thanks!!
Gonna try this right away:good:
It's not working. Model-ID error (130). Had this one before, it's the US version. But, I got the TMO101 (DE). This is the model also sold in the Netherlands.......
Any RUU available for this as well? Couldn't find it or
Other options?
Thanks!
Hi all,
So recently I caved and decided I should attempt to install a custom rom and bring my android experience to the next level. Being completely new to this but being fairly tech savvy I decided I would be able to do this no problem. I Went to the cyanogen mod blog and followed the guide to unlocking the bootloader and then to install the rom. Everything seemed to be going perfectly until I got to the final step and rebooted, but it would not boot past the "HTC ONE" screen. I kept retrying the previous steps until I noticed I forgot to flash the boot.img . I then did that and reinstalled the rom, but alas; still no luck. The only difference now is that it doesn't boot past the "Queitly Different" screen. I haven't been able to get past this bump in my android enlightning road. I was able to boot into a sketchy looking 4.3 but it lacked many features and wasn't able to detect my sim card. If anyone has some suggestions or tips on how I could correct these errors, would be greatly apprectiated.
I was told this is vital information in the helping process ( I'm still new to this)

Evitare_UL is the AT&T version of this phone, not the international one x+ (enrc2b) and since these phones have some differences in hardware the roms are not compatible. afaik there's no CM for Evitare_UL, only a very early version with lots of bugs.
so atm it's not possible for you to get anything above android 4.1, best would be you get yourself a stock based rom for AT&T one x+ from the One X+ Android Development forum and install this. Otherwise you have will have to restore a backup if you made one...
Okay , so you've cleared a whole lot up for me. Would you be able to direct me to any of these roms by any chance?

oh come on, it's not that hard to find the One X+ Android Developement forum
just make sure the rom is made for your phone (read the first posts(s) by the dev) and then try one yourself, i can't recommend anything since i have the international One X+.
A few months ago I, posted a thread with a similar idea in mind however, the only answer I got was (I'm paraphrasing) "Why go back to stock,the custom ROMS are much better anyways". Well the time has come where I figure out the "why?". Yesterday I brought the phone into Wind for a check of why it's not sending MMS messages when the data is on (strangely enough it turns data on while sending the mms but, that's a story for another time). The people at Wind refused to look at my phone and told me to come back when it has stock firmware. (because, obviously I haven't returned to stock yet). Now from what I understand, from doing some research today on the forums, that the HTC Amaze (Wind Variant) has some weird software issues upon flashing a T-Mobile based ROM which I can link back to Speed Rom. So, I do the standard "Relock the bootloader and run the RUU.exe" and it just comes up with an error saying my hboot is the wrong version. The forums are pretty blank on ways to get around this (well besides going S-OFF which is a problem considering I need to bring my phone in to get the MMS issue checked. Also, I don't have that level of confidence in myself to insure I don't destroy my phone when going s-off). So, I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the issue. I'm confident that someone could possibly help me with my issue. (PS my current ROM is the latest Cyanogenmod 10 nightly, and I'm using 4ext recovery on the Amaze/Ruby).
Hope, I can get this issue resolved and thank you for helping me out with what ever problems I've had on my journey with this phone.
P.S: I didn't mean to double post the same question it's just I really needed this problem solved. I hope you can forgive me. (I fully understand if I can't return to stock under these circumstances.)
It's funny, I'm kind of in the same boat, except for 2 "minor" differences:
1) The "Smart Flash" on 4EXT never worked for me (and has consistently corrupted my internal SD card, but been able to fix it each time), so I have S-ON yet
2) I've rooted the phone itself and unlocked the bootloader, but the HBOOT is 1.93.0002, and from what I've seen, the latest firmware patch is .2222 although that really shouldn't matter
This is my 2nd HTC Amaze, and the first time I've gone through the rooting and that, took me at most an hour to complete, including time spent choosing a CMOD (I ended up with 7). This time around...I'm practically pulling my hair out because I cannot perform the S-OFF via Linux (LiveCD of course) nor starting from "square 1". I seem to be in limbo with 4EXT.
I installed Viper Amaze 1.7.2, but continually got stuck on the boot screen. Further investigation revealed that I needed to superCID the phone, which in turn would be to S-OFF first.
Additionally, I've downloaded and flashed the "stock ICS" ROM (since that was my stock ROM to begin with, naturally upgraded ICS), renamed to PH85IMG.zip yadda yadda. It recognizes and loads, but never "updates", more or less does anything after the loading bar on the bootloader.
So, just to try how much I've dug myself in with this, I've downloaded and tried 2 other ROMS, both saying "bad" (no status 7 error like the RUU flash).
I want to try out the Viper Amaze ROM since so much work and effort went into it, and it seriously looks awesome, but because my original tool that I used (HTC Super Tool) didn't require me all of these extra steps (and I didn't remember the program until now), I want to return back to stock so I can start over in a sense and complete those couple of steps that I inadvertently missed. I really feel like I'm missing something stupid.
Out of 7 Android phones that I've completed the custom ROM setup, it has to be this phone...
Anyways, tl;dr here's what I got:
Bootloader:
**Unlocked**
Ruby PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.93.0002
eMMC-boot
Starting ROM: Wind Mobile ICS 4.0.3 Stock ROM
End ROM: Viper Amaze 1.7.2
Where I'm At: 4EXT, Status 7 error upon stock ROM flash. No other custom ROM works. PH85IMG.zip doesn't seem to do much upon loading via bootloader.

I actually have the same HBOOT version as you! I have never met a device which had more difficulties going back to stock than the Wind variant of the Amaze. Anyway best of luck on your issue, and just try to remember me if you find a way back to stock. I guess we are on the same boat and the Wind isn't helping us out *Budum Tssss* . (BTW if you manage to make it back to stock I suggest you use hasoon2000's toolkit for the Amaze. It's a good toolkit for the Amaze.)

I managed to install the Viper Amaze. I went back, relocked the bootloader, got a new
ID token unlock key, and reflashed (the hell out of) everything. It actually worked.
As for the Wind Rom push back, try the EXE found here on XDA:

I tried, that EXE seems to only be for update from Gingerbread purposes or, was broke after I flashed a T-Mobile ROM on the device.
The back story...
I had to ditch Verizon. I didn't want to fork over $300 for a Republic Wireless phone only to be stuck with their crappy ROM, and the only 4G LTE android phone supported by Ting is the Evo 4G LTE; picked one up for $50 on ebay. I installed Cyanogenmod on a half dozen devices, newer and older than this phone, and thought this HTC Evo 4G LTE would be as easy as they were to unlock, root, S-OFF and flash. I've been more wrong before, but not without resulting in bodily harm. A hearty 'get stuffed' to HTC for this, and a plea for future rooters to have a concise guide on how to repair their phone under these circumstances.
The flawed process...
I went through HTC's unlock method to unlock the phone. Then I installed the latest TWRP via fastboot command line (2.7.1.0b as I found in a thread somewhere). No problems so far... I then went to install the latest CM build for Jewel (10.2.0 ) through TWRP 2.7.1.0b and it failed. This marked the first time I'd ever seen a fail message in TWRP. I thought no big deal, I'll restore the backup... The backup was gone. Now we have problems; phone is stuck in a bootloop. After reading many threads stating that S-OFF is required to flash their ROM, I tried to achieve that in Windows 7 to no avail through all available means. I then tried the closest RUU for my phone, and it failed. I then tried every RUU I could find, all failed. I tried a full firmware update to 4.13 via PJ75IMG.zip on the SD card, which failed.
The repair process that worked for my situation...
Once I focused on the HBOOT as a potential issue, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40848479#post40848479
Quite simply, MeanBean 3.09 worked as advertised, and my phone has booted into a ROM for the first time in days! A HUGE thanks to both Magnum_Enforcer and mikeyxda.

I'm going to keep this log going, since I think quite a few people will follow a similar path as I'm following.
Just tried to achieve S-OFF with the new MeanBean ROM I'm running.
First attempt: Firewater
All of the steps went exactly as expected. The command line dialog was amusing, and ended in "nasty, needs a chaser" or something and rebooted to the ROM. Once rebooted into recovery to verify s-off status, S-ON is reported.
Second attempt: Rumrunner
More interesting dialog in the process, and it, too, went smoothly. Rebooted into bootloader and voila...S-OFF achieved.
Installed Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4
So, after the first day's use I've come to realize that my PRL needs updating and the Dirty Unicorn 4.4.4 ("du_jewel_4.4.4_20140621-0657") ROM doesn't have a 'Update PRL' function as far as I can tell. I backed up DU 4.4.4 and restored MeanBean, updated the PRL, and restored back into DU 4.4.4 with ease.
After using DU for a week, I've come to realize it's fairly unstable. I'll be looking for a different rom soon.
OMG!!!! FINALLY!!!
I've been reading and reading and pulling my hair out for 3 days after attempting to load a custom Rom on my Evo 4G LTE.
I have almost exactly the same situation/experience as you did. I was able to get the CyanogenMod to load but for the life of I can't get any gapps installed. I've tried loading from TWRP and the SDcard to no avail. It looks like it flashes fine but when I reboot the phone no apps are installed. I like CM 10.2.0 but I need the Google apps. Right now I'm missing so many things like contacts, etc. I've tried to install Google Play and just download each app individually but it crashes on start. I'm really feeling lost here and helpless. I never had problems like this with my original EVO or EVO 3D. Tried to go back to stock using Sprint RUU's but nothing works...
I've highlighted my differences in RED.
Is there anyway you could explain your method to get your EVO S-off in more detail? Is this the problem?

I just ran the program as it specified. Make sure your drivers are installed correctly... that step usually caught me up because some Android device drivers conflicted with some of my other Android device drivers.
