Root [International Tegra 3] [HELP] HTC One X stock at Boot

[craigu]

Hi guys, my HTc one X stocked at the boot, i tried to flash it with the viper rom, then tried to flash the boot and the recovery, now i'm stock at this screen, any help please?

What happens when you go for a simulated battery pull (hold the power button down for 15 seconds so it turns off)?

Is that what it does, just goes straight back to hboot?

 

[craigu]

thank you for the reply, i unplugged the power cable and now i can get on the Hboot, tried to isntall another recovery image http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

but when i try to restore my system it say no file found , tried also to install another rom in my SD card but the same "No file found", i think the recovery mode dont see the SDCARD which contains my Restore file and the other ROms

 

[El Presidente]

Try another recovery? TWRP is much stabler by all accounts (I've not used CWM for an age): TeamWin Projects - TWRP 2.6 - HTC One X (International / Tegra 3 / EndeavorU) | TeamWin

That's an older hboot as well, were you on ICS or JellyBean before you unlocked? (I'm guessing ICS/4.0.x)

 

[craigu]

yes i was in ICS 4.0.3

and tried the last version of TWRP recovery and i got same error

 

[El Presidente]

That's an old, old version of TWRP, the latest version is 2.6.0.0

However, if you've tried to install a JB ROM when you're still on an ICS hboot (0.43.0000), you won't boot which is why I think you're in your current predicament.

There will be stuff still on your SD Card, but because of the way JB ROMs handle memory, a recovery designed for ICS probably won't be able to read things. Try a JB recovery (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-endeavoru.img) from the link I provided, let me know if you can see stuff on your SD Card once it's installed and then we can take things from there.

 

[craigu]

i really appreciate your help
i tried the last version of the recovery but still the same message, file not found

 

[El Presidente]

Ok, head to the main page in TWRP, select mounts and storage, connect your phone to your PC. Once done, select Mount USB Storage, does the phone appear as a disk on your PC?

 

[craigu]

yes it mouns in my computer, but i found that the SDCARD if formatted , now i want to flash a new rom, what do you suggest please ?

 

[El Presidente]

You'll need an ICS ROM, so your options are kinda limited.

Are you carrier branded btw? If you could update to JB, you'd have a lot more choices.

I'll have a look, see if there are still any ICS ROMs kicking about and post them here.

 

[craigu]

why am i limited to ICS ? and why i can't upgrade to JB?

 

[El Presidente]

See in the first pic you posted, your hboot version is an older version (0.43.0000) and incompatible with JellyBean ROMs.

Were you carrier branded btw? Can you remember what your software number was before you rooted? If yes, you might be able to do a firmware upgrade.

 

[craigu]

i think it was 1.2.XXX , and my carrier is in Tunisia if i understand what do you mean
the rom was installed is BoxmaX.OneX.JB v3.5 if that's help you

 

[El Presidente]

I'd need to know the exact software number.

Boot to your bootloader, select fastboot, connect the phone to your PC, navigate to the fastboot folder, open a command prompt and type

fastboot getvar all

Paste the results please.

I took out the IMEI and serial for security, thanks.

The good news is that your software number, 1.26.401.2, means you were totally unbranded meaning we can run an RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) which will wipe the phone clean and install the OS from scratch.

Once done, your hboot will upgrade and once you unlock the bootloader again, you'll be in a position to install JB ROM's. You'll need to relock the bootloader before you can run the RUU though.

It sounds a lot, but it is an easy process and once done. you'll be able to install Viper X.

Sound like a plan?

 

[craigu]

Sounds great, i'm all yours shall we start?

 

[craigu]

is this the RUU that i should use? RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.28.415.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_25679_signed.exe

 

[El Presidente]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048

Either of the top 2 files in the HTC_Europe section.

They should be about 600MB or over in size.

 

[craigu]

i'm downloading right now, RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe

can you tell me what to do after? in case you're not online?

 

[El Presidente]

Before you run the RUU, you'll need to relock your bootloader, I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think there are instructions on the htcdev ste.

Once it's relocked, reboot to the bootloader, then head to fastboot. Once done, connect the phone to your PC, run the exe file and it'll do everything else for you.

Are you ok with that for tonight? It'll put your phone back into a working state and I can finish up with the ROM install procedure tomorrow? Is that ok? I'm up mega early for work tomorrow.

 

[craigu]

that's awesome mate, so if i install the RUU my phone will work? with the original rom? if that's right so it will be very enough for tonight,

 

[El Presidente]

Yep, if the RUU doesn't error, then yes your phone will be back to normal.

The good thing with your software number is that you should be able to run any RUU with 401 in it without issue.

 

[craigu]

thank you so much mate i really appreciate your time and your help, i'll try to figure out how to relock my bootloader then i'll try to install the RUU

 

[craigu]

downlaod completed, still don't get how to relock the bootloader
