Hello,
today a friend of mine gave me his HTC Desire X, because he forgot his lockscreen pattern and now he is unable to bypass the lock screen.
So he has to login into his google account but unfortunately he doesn't even know the right email adress.
I searched for some methods to bypass the lockscreen, but it seems like there's no possibility.
So I thought about booting into the bootloader in order to proceed a hard reset.
But the strange thing is, that I can't even get into it.
Usally you have to press the volume down and power button but in my case the smartphone simply boots as normal.
I am pretty sure, that it's not my keypressing technique, because I own myself an htc one s and there I can enter the bootloader just finely.
Do you guys have an idea what's the problem and how I could make the phone usable again?
BTW It's not rooted and the bootloader is not unlocked or something like that. It runs the stock htc sense android and sadly ADB is not activated.
I really appreciate your help!
Pull out the battery and then retry to access bootloader with your method (vol down+power). It should work.

What do you mean by pulling out the battery and then trying to acces the bootloader? Booting whithout the battery?
I already pulled out the battery and put it back in but it is still not working.

I had a problem with the power button not working and I was adviced to reflash the original ROM (I never did a ROM upgrade) so I picked the original and latest Cingular ROM. Flashing strated and then hung for a while @ 80% progress, few minutes after continued up to 95% progress and at that point I got ERROR 326 message (INVALID COMMAND) stating that the NBF file couldn´t be used for this phone. I dissconnected the phone and did a soft reset and what I got was the BOOTLOAD SCREEN and since then I can not make the phone exit from it. Later I tried flashing RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4, this time it went all the way to 100% progress and the congratulations screen, I made a soft reset (the only way I know to exit the bootload mode) and I got momentarly the HTC innovation screen and right away dissapeared to enter in bootload screen again.
Then I reflash ROM with RUU_Qtek_9100_AKU2_21878_024711_ESN_G4, this time it went all the way up to 100% and success screen appeared, the phone rebooted and is up and running although with inoperant power button.
Since you've successfully reflashed your phone and the power button isn't still working have you considered a hardware fault?
Look for some info/pics on how to disassemble your wizard to verify if the button is well soldered to the board

Luiggi, pls tell me how to flash the phone while in the bootloader screen?!?
There's no secret to flash while in bootloader screen. Use the RUU file. It might take a little while longer to detect the phone but goes all the way to the end
Yes, it has to be a hardware issue

I´ll try the disassembly and perhaps is not a big deal to fix it, I got a copy of the service manual posted in some of the forums, and I´ll give it a try.
Thanks for the advice!
You just do it!

Try first a soft reset while in the BL screen, if doesn´t react then do what I did:
I just plugged the USB cable and run the RUU!! As simple as that and as risky as the ROM you select not being the right one.

the problem is that i want to flash it back to the original to resell but my phone is not syncing, ive tried going to connections and unchecking the box there and connecting the usb after i get the bootloader screen both unsuccessful

no you didnt, you said teh phone goes into bootloader but then the flash fails, (or words to that effect)
That is quite common and there is usually a simple workaround
However, since you arent interested in testing my advice, i wont bother telling you it and you can find it yourself.
did you go to the boot loader manually or not ?
Yes I powered off device then powered on while holding the volume button and then connected usb, it still says serial
anyone?....
I rooted my Sprint HTC Evo 4glte and everything went fine, but I then I just installed 3DChainfire app without thinking.. installed it and when the phone restarted. My Phone would go to the Pamper page and after that it goes blank.
I would turn the power on and it would make my buttons flicker and then goes back to the pamper (HTC brillantly quiet) and shutsdown or goes black.
Is there anyways to reset the phone or somehow to get the phone back to the stock settings? Thank you for your help.
Looking on Chainfire3D on Market need Root which you have but S-OFF is also needed on HTC devices. After root did you also unlock bootloader? I am certainly novice but this might be the problem?
You can run the ruu it will take you back to stock, if you made a backup nows the time to use it.

After trying to run the RUU, it is stuck at reading the bootloader. After a minute or two it will say that the port or USB is not plugged in right. I plugged it in and everything is okay. It errors. My Phone screen will load and stay at the screen saying HTC.

Unfortunely I did not unlock the bootloader.
anyone able to help me? If there is any other solutions let me know? I also wonder if I bring it back to the store will they give me a new phone or no? Thank you.
Did you relock the bootloader before trying to run the RUU?

Thanks everyone for helping me, I was able to find the solution to fixing my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I just had to load up the bootloader (by pressing power button+volume down button+ camera button) on my phone and reset it back to factory settings. Everyone works again now! Still ROOTED so good to go!
So here it is.
I was using an Xperia mini st15i (rooted). Tried to install stock rom of LWW.
After flashing, the rom did not load and I realised I had made a big mistake by flashing a different phone's rom.
Anyway, I flashed the stock ics rom (mini), and the phone starts up.
The only thing is, the touchscreen doesnt respond. The 'menu'and 'back' buttons are working, hardware keys working.
I found methods to fix the screen brick, but they require me to unlock the bootloader.
Now I have another Mini which rooted n unlocked, and I had no problems in doing that.
In this case, the problem is that because I re-flashed the stock rom, the usb debugging is turned off. Because of this, sdk tools and flashtool wont recognise the phone in adb mode.
Now I cannot find a way to turn on the debugging, and I dont know how to fix the screen.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I have run out of all ideas
But if the bootloader is unlockable you don't need to turn on usb debugging. You can boot in fastboot mode by holding volume up and connecting to pc, then unlock! Should work

Yes you need the IMEI, but I guess it's on the back of the phone, too
Thanks for your help.
Iv managed to unlock the bootloader.. but still cant get the screen to work.
Service centre guy tells me the screen needs to be changed, but i am pretty sure its a software glitch. (service centre doesnt know i tinkered with the rom n all )
tried many different methods with different roms, but the screen doesnt respond. lcd works fine, touch is not working.
back and menu keys are working tho.
anyone have any idea where the exact problem is???

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

The warranty time is out, so there is no help from the carrier, unless for cash...
But there must be a way to bring it back to life.

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.
