Just finished the downgrade process. After flashing 1.09 hboot it recovered the p4 sucessfully but would not boot. I had to run jet with the -u command to get it to finally boot, but it worked like a charm after that! Finally done with fastboot flashing boot images! Off to flash some different radios for the first time! :silly: THANKS!!!

Hello,

After having downgraded my phone to 1.09 hboot. I relocked bootloader and reflashed Stock Telus RUU. RUU claimed to have completed successfully but I'm stuck in that black screen bricked QDL mode. Doesn't seem to find the emmc partitions either.

What can I do to try and recover from this? :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouL Shadow:
Probably nothing. Which RUU did you flash and why would you flash an RUU after downgrading hboot?

nope. I've tried about 10 times. your phone gets bricked in the process, that's how you get the lower hboot on it. but every time I have been able to unbrick it

If you had SuperCID before downgrading, I have heard trying to RUU with SuperCID will brick the phone

do the whole thing again. cd back to jet and type ./jet -u that should unbrick it. restoring the original hboot

Yeah I had the phone replaced in the end. Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouL Shadow:
Unfortunately this seems to be true.

Jet defaults to applying SuperCID.

I don't have access to the OP to update it and yarrimapirate has been MIA for a few months now.

But you can disable it with a command line option. Before downgrading run ./jet -h it will list all options, then just add the supercid option to the command when you run jet to downgrade.

Would downgrading hboot also make it possible to downgrade the touchscreen firmware that is currently not compatible with AOSP Roms? Or is that a different matter entirely?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouL Shadow:
That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. I'm not sure exactly where the tp firmware is stored, so it would depend on whether you can write to that partition.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cgukevin:
I have experienced something weird but finally successfully downgraded hboot 1.09. Here's the

1. I strictly followed the instruction. Everything went well till step 8 finished, the terminal even showed that the whole process was successfully done and my phone should reboot automatically. It didn't, so I unplugged the USB and tried to boot it manually. Nothing happened. I plugged it back in to USB, the charging light would not turn on.

2. I started to panic, tried to find if there's anything that I did wrong, but couldn't find any. I tried to use the options provided in the instruction, only "-u" seemed to work as it appeared in terminal window, but the phone was still dead.

3. I found the unbrick thread by mirGantrophy, followed the instruction step by step till step 9. I was half way through step 9, the first terminal window showed that the usb device become "HTC......" while the third terminal was still waiting for the device to write data. And I found that the charging light was back on! It was back to life and hboot was downgraded to 1.09.

I am not sure what really happened, but I think "jet" did not write enough data to device and manually executing"emmc_recover" got the rest done. Because if "jet" totally failed, my phone would not be back half way through the unbricking process, or I just got lucky.

Anyway, if anyone is interested in my case, I can post the log.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrjayviper:
which hboot did you come from?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cgukevin:
1.14
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I really don't believe supercid is the issue. Most all modded phones have supercid and have been flashing ruu and ota fine since the beginning. Every second thread would be about ruu or ota bricking their phone, but instead it is only a small handful of users.

We have most users complaining that their modded phone, that likely had supercid, installed the JB update fine and now have the "touch screen wont work on CM10" issue.

I think you need to consider it is something else that is bricking phones as literally millions of ruu and ota have been installed fine with supercid. Ruu and ota flashing is the major reason for supercid.

Perhaps it is just AT&T phones in particular that had the cid changed to get unauthorised unlock tokens that have the issue. Maybe the phone is failing some other check and getting stuck in limbo?

Don't worry man, $%^& happens and life gets in the way. We'll all still be here when you have some breathing room and are able to devote some of your time here. Just focus on real-life for now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouL Shadow:
The SuperCID problem really only applies to people flashed to different carriers or ppl trying to ruu. The details of why are not fully clear, but there have been enough ppl between Evita and Jewel (especially on Jewel because to s-off an ruu needs to be run)

Part of the problem is because the ruu checks various version info stored on the phone (such as cid, and various NV items) which has different information than the actual firmware installed. This causes the ruu to flash some firmware files and not others. When it comes to certain firmware, you must have compatible versions.

Unfortunately what I described is just an overview. A fix requires knowing the exact details and manipulating additional files/partitions. But, while we know "generally" what the problem is, we don't have all the details needed to fix it. Couple that with the fact that there is no way to recover from many of these bricks, making testing very difficult or impossible.

Jet (and the process it automates) is largely a hack. As such it comes with a higher than usual chance of problems. As we see, some of these problems are more of a side effect, not showing up until some time later.

Hope this helped clear up some things. Although even we the developers don't have all the answers.

I was as excited as you are when my phone came back. I did not even finish all the steps in the unbrick thread to do it. Don't know if you went through the same process. However, I start to feel regret that I did it, because no more boot.img flashing doesn't justify the risk of bricking the phone. Anyway, it's all on my own.

yeah kinda trivial if you really think about it. i thought i was gonna have a 300 dollar paper weight there for a while. i didnt do all the steps either i skiped a few because it wouldnt read hboot_1.12.0000. i was so excited i couldnt spell miracle lol but thank god for the devs here you guys rule!!:D

Just got another Telstra ONE XL - hboot 1.11.

Does anyone know much about this hboot?

Can you flash normally or do I need to downgrade?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SouL Shadow:
1.12 was the original hboot for the htc evo lte (jewel). 1.09 was the original hboot for evita.

The directions in the "unbricking evita" thread mention the hboot_1.12.0000_signedbyaa.nb0 because that's the name of the file included in the "unbrick_evita.zip". Jet actually automates the manual steps listed in that thread. Jet also includes some error and sanity checking and helps prevent problems by accidental spelling/typing errors.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrjayviper:
HTC has released the kernel source for the Tegra3 One X very recently. I suppose the XL source shouldn't be far behind and I think it's safer to wait for that compared to taking chances and downgrading the hboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Yeah it said in the unbrick instructions but when I typed it into the terminal it came back unable to read file so I just skipped that step and continued on and at the last step it kept saying cannot reset so I just unplugged the device and plugged it back in and the magic began ;)

Holding Power+Vol Down brings the phone back to bootloader with funtional fastboot, howvever recovery or anything else cannot be accessed. I tried flashing TWRD 2.4.4.0 again through fastboot but no luck. I can't get past that HTC splash screen. Any ideas guys?
