Sounds like you need to update to the latest version of ADB/FASTBOOT the "device offline" is usually due to an incomatible older version of ADB. Get the latest version on your PC then make sure that ADB is working before trying fastboot.

We don't have an S-off solution for this phone yet but it is not required for root, although you will need to flash jmz's insecure kernel for changes to "/system" to stick after reboot even when rooted,

That's info that more people should have. The right usb cord can be difference between failure & success. I remember I went through 6 different usb cables jailbreaking my atv2.
For this phone, however, I just used the one that came with it. But I found the automated process to be sticky (not a tech term) it seemed to freeze a lot during the process.
I wound up plugging and replugging the usb when it froze.
It rooted my phone, installed twrp but needed to flash jmz kernel manually. The root tool works though. And to be honest, until I read this I didn't even think that a different cable might fix those issues in the automated process.
The other night for fun I rooted an old kindle hd and I needed to unplug and replug to get that to work. I was using the same cable that came with HTC desire.
***Anyone ever use a fastboot cable? Apparently u need one to install a 2nd boot loader on kindle hd and I'm wondering if that type of cable would resolve issues like this? That's a question not a go ahead to try it. I know very little about that and don't know if it could possibly cause more serious issues. They're cheap on eBay and I'm getting one for the kfhd.

I did a search and it doesnt seem like anyone else had my problem. Basically, I'm on stock ICS with S-On, unlocked. I saw that the S-Off method now supports ICS and decided to give it a try.
I have all HTC drivers installed, downloaded jbear, extracted it to a directory all by itself, ran as admin..
All is going fine until my phone reboots to the green arrow screen. Then it just waits for the device, except it cant find my phone. I get an error message asking me to check my adb and fastboot drivers.
If I have the HTC drivers installed, doesn't that automatically give me the adb and fastboot drivers?
I've tried on 2 computers now, and still no luck. I've been flashing ICS all day. Help!

So I just download it, install it, and then I can attempt S-off again?
Anything special I need to do?
FINALLY got it to work. This was a crap shoot for me. Basically, what was happening was that I get stuck on the green arrow screen because Windows refused to recognize my phone as a phone ONLY ON THAT SCREEN, so my device manager didn't have an 'Android Phone' device. What I did to get it to recognize my phone was to relock my phone in fastboot, and then unlock it again in fastboot. And poof! My phone was recognized as an Android Phone on the green arrow screen. Got S-Off on 1st try

another problem with thunderbolt tool
I'm working on a buddies Thunderbolt, and ran into trouble
Ok I downloaded tool,
extracted it,
ran driver,
ran bat,
then all seemed good untill it hung at waiting for fastboot the second time where moar is mispelled. phone is on the fastboot page
when you rerun it it shows revolutionary, and s off, but if you try to flash cwm it gets to waiting on fastboot and hangs up.
installed superuser from market
try to install busybox and get an error su not found in either of two locations.
installed rom manager from market, but nothing works because cw recovery apparently not installed.
anytime you boot into recovery get a ted triangle with exclamation point.
any good ideas??
refresh my memory of adb process, its been long time since I used it
will factory reset work or will it brick the phone because of the recovery issue??
I realize this is prolly a simple issue to put a missing file into the correct location manually, or with adb, but we have gone above my unassisted pay grade.
any help is appreciated.

Did you ever get help with this? My phone is doing the same thing. Starts ADB and then displays the "Waiting for device connection"
message.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Phone has usb debugging on and Stay Awake is on.
When it connects, my PC tells me it sees the usb device, etc. but something is still amiss....
TIA
Did you install the fastboot drivers? Also try running adb devices to make sure it recognizes its connected. I didn't get the luxury of the all in one tool when I rooted so I ended up have to root by inputting all the lines in manually to make the revolutionary tool work. It was good practice with adb though.

My buddy has a Thunderbolt that froze and so he tried flashing another rom but came across a huge issue. He tried wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, and system (I think this is where he messed up) and when he tried flashing the new rom, it kept aborting installation. After that his recovery kept showing a log error where it couldn't mount recovery logs and also it wouldn't mount system or cache. The recovery seemed damaged at that point, so he went into HBOOT and tried flashing some stock rom through it, I guess it didn't go well because it gave an error and said something about the installed version being lower, not really sure. Now it won't even boot into recovery. Oh and here's the worst part, S-ON.. he doesn't know how to mess around with Androids, he asked if I could fix it for him. Any help would be appreciated, I know the phone was a gift for his fiance and I feel bad, I wanna help before they send it back to HTC.

Okay, here is my problem. First off I am stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant boot screen after I successfully unlocked the bootloader. Then I tried to root the device with rootbootv5 and as i was following the instructions it was trying to backup the phone and got stuck "waiting for the device". Now my computer does not recognize the phone and when i try to factory reset it just goes back to being stuck.
Also when I go into HBOOT it is stuck "checking SD card update" until i unplug the usb cord. When entering recover from HBOOT it just goes to a triangle with a exclamation mark.. This is a AT&T phone if that matters as I have already done some research and it seems it might.. Just got this awesome phone today and I would like to fix this problem if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

I am almost positive "rootboot" is not for the AT&T phone. Even if it is I would strongly suggest avoiding it. Try relocking the bootloader and running the RUU
Forgot to mention
Forgot to mention after the other actions I tried to use X-Factor to root the device and it said something to the extent that maybe adb was out of date and something about the CID sorry I am not very knowledgeable about this stuff guys..
X factor is for a completely different device, it does a temp root then supercids the device (HTC one xl)
Why don't you just unlock the boot loader and flash a recovery?

Lock the boot loader using the fastboot command from my previous post. stay in bootloader and run the htc ruu (double click) while the phone is plugged in. This will hopefully revert your phone to stock.
**THE PHONE WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES. LET IT. THIS IS NORMAL. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNPLUG IT**

It certainly can be rooted, just check out the link Hasoon posted before your post.
Yes it can be rooted and is fairly simple. I would avoid the tool kit and just flash the recovery yourself ans then the super user zip file.

Also please keep in mind all this stuff- roms, kernels, recoveries are very device specific. Do not flash anything that does not explicitly state it is for the AT&T One x+.
Dear All,
I am a newbie on this so please bear with me. I did take the time out to read up on some of the basics before I posted this but I am not familiar with most of the acronyms.
I bought a HTC One X+ with no power button. The seller claimed he bought the phone as is and didnt know if the phone worked or not.
When I received it, I placed a power button and put it on charge. Within minutes the phone loaded with the 3 logo (UK) but to the bootloader screen. I tried all the various options from Hboot, Restart, Restart with Bootloader and Power Down. When I choose HBoot, I get the following error:
sd checking....
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) Failed to open USB master mode
loading image....
Failed to open USB master mode
Plug off device.
When I try to power down, it simply restarts. When I choose Recovery, nothing works. I just keep coming back to the bootloader screen no matter what I do.
I read the following thread but I didnt understand some of it, eg RUU. I assume this is the type of ROM that is flashed to the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940194
I have tried connecting phone to the laptop to see if I can see the drive in windows explorer. Laptop recognises the HTC phone in System Device (loaded HTC Sync Manager from HTC website) but it wont recognise the phone's drive. When I try to use the CMD box, i get same issue. It cannot find the phone's storage, therefore I cannot write anything to the phone.
It seems like whoever tried to flash this phone which is on the 3 network made a hash of it, as from reading the above thread, it looks like 3 networked HTC One X cannot be unlocked.
Therefore is it possible to get this phone back to working mode as it was, given the issues I am having.
Any help will be mightily appreciated! :good:

Actually I dont know what network this is on as I cant get out of bootloader!
I have been informed by a friend that the phone needs to be s-off before it can be flashed. How can I do this?
this device DOES NOT need s-off so your friend is talking out of his ass,
the guide to flash ruu's is in the general section
also there is NO WAY to s-off the X+

I have followed Hasoon's directions using his utility tool. I have managed to unlock the phone but cant get beyond that.
Every single viable HTC One X+ RUU I use simply doesnt work. I cant access the USB drive to my phone (prob because the person previously never ticked USB Debugging when he/she attempted to root the phone) so cannot transfer the RUU files to my phone.
I have tried to run the original RUU for this phone but it keeps giving me an error. I have no idea what to do next. I have read all the posts on the General Forum for instructions on ADB, rooting, unlocking, RUUs etc.
I would truly be thankful if I can get some assistance here please.

I am in Manchester. I have relocked the bootloader but now the phone wont charge. I have seen a post here how to fix that, so I will try that.
I have done the above but I simply do not know what the correct RUU is. How do I even know which is right? I have tried around 10 so far and none have worked.
Fixed It!!!!
I cant believe it! I fixed it!!!!
I accidentally came up on a post here on this forum looking for something else and a member discussed the same problem as me. The reason why he was getting the signature error etc because he had the wrong recovery loaded.
I therefore loaded the latest TWRP version from here (link provided from General Settings) - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/enrc2b
I didnt use Hasoon's recovery as TWRP is user friendly. I relocked the phone, loaded the correct RUU and it worked!
So to summarise this is how I fixed my phone
1. Downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
2. Rooted the phone
3. Unlocked the phone
4. Flashed latest recovery file using his toolkit (Your Own Recovery)
5. Loaded the correct RUU - RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe from http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=ENRC2B
NB to know which RUU to use, go into bootloader and you will see the RUU details at the top part of the screen - in my case it was Radio_3.1204.168.32. Also when I tried to run any RUU.exe file it told me the version I had was 1.17.401.1. I searched for it on the android files and found the above RUU to match my RUU. This I guess is the stock RUU.
As a newbie, it can be very tough trying to understand this, but this forum is just awesome!! I am an accountant by profession, and I cant believe I figured how to fix an HTC One X+ by going through this forum! The FAQ has it all - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337

I am now going to try performance tweaks next as I am feeling confident

Don't know if you guys ever got this issue solved or not. I'm having the same issue S-on, cannot get adb devices command to recognize my t6spr for the life of me. on Hboot 2.46, it will detect the USB device malfunction if I put the device in fastboot mode, but thats about it. Device manager shows Unknown USB (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Tried the KB update for devices that fail enumeration on Windows 8.1 for x64 but the update package said my system is not affected so that never installed. Tried the alternative miniadb pakage previously mentioned but didnt seem to have an affect installing fastboot, adb, and drivers, across the system universally. Just not having any luck apparently. I guess I could just sell the phone Tampered and Unlocked haha with no fingerprint scanner functionality, flash ViperRom or some other stock look alike ROM. Was just really hoping to go back completely stock. At one point it time I was trying different PCs to see if it was just a system issue for me. Occasionally it seemed like if I let it sit in Fastboot AC it would eventually get detected and flip over to Fastboot USB long enough for me to push a couple commands to the phone. I have the right RUU but it dosent do me any good if the computer cant see the phone haha. Now no computer seems to recognize it. It all seemed to happen after I tried to S-Off the device with Firewater's method. Idk if I bricked something because it never worked or changed a CID or some other ID to where the USB isnt recognizable, but all I can get this phone to do is take an electric current from the USB, lol thats about it. I thought I had it fixed enough to where I knew what to do if i absolutely needed to get fastboot to recognize the phone but now, nothing.
Just a curiousity question here....a bad usb cable can produce this also...read through posts didnt see anyone trying a new cable...
