Just read your other thread. You are only supposed to flash PDA when flashing a rom. That's is how I bricked my SGH-S730M. I clicked on the PHONE button instead of the PDA. You need to fimd someone who is willing to give you all of their flash images for that phone.

You may have hard bricked your phone.

Go to this thread, they will be able to help you. They should have the files you need.

It is 1:16 AM where I live. I need to go to bed.

Post your circumstance on this thread. Tell them that you need all of the files for odin.

IF YOU DID NOT FLASH THE BOOTLOADER (USING ODIN) THEN YOU PROBLABLY DID NOT.HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE.

You can still boot, so that is a good sign.

Thanks for the info I tried it but I do not have the boot file for my 5380D I used cygwin guide and got my drivers for my phone but it is missing the boot file, do I have to use the boot file for my phone or do you know if I can use any boot file? I am still new to the forum and cannot post on their forum.

Thanks

PM (private message) the original poster (labeled OP) of the tread. I'm sure he will be able to help you if you tell him what is wrong with your phone.

You should only need the PDA, PHONE, and CSC files (they are not the same file, the tread I linked will explain this in a lot more detail).

DO NOT TOUCH THE BOOTLOADER BUTTON IN ODIN UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

You do not need boot files.

It is okay to flash with Odin without using all of the buttons.

All you need to do is follow the instructions to install stock rom. I wish I could help you more than I have, but they will know how to fix your problem more efficiently.

I wish you luck!

I think it maybe hard bricked because I followed everything on that forum post and still does not want to get into recover mode.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burning_aces:
Alright guys, so I dropped my phone, now the touch screen is dead, as well as the screen itself. I'm going to take it down to vodafone later and get it replaced/fixed under insurance, but I was hoping first I could do a CWM backup. I was on the latest, I think 6.0.8.2, I was hoping someone could give me step by step instructions to get from phone off to doing a backup to the external SD Card.

I tried doing things through ADB but unfortunately my phone is in "Installation Mode" from using the s3 external usb drive mode so I could access my SD card from my laptop.

If anyone has any suggestions on what to do please let me know.

Also the CWM backup will backup my texts right, as I have some from work I will have received which is why I need it backed up..

If anyone has any other suggestions on things I can do, apps I can run that dont require me to actually use the screen etc please let me know

Hoping someone answers in the next hour or so.

Thanks heaps guys!

Also after the backup I was going to use ODIN to flash the stock ROM and I'm hoping that erases the custom recovery....

I will go recovery and note how many button presses are needed and be your guide dog! Let me wake up and grab a coffee first! :)

Nah, the standard one from the Rom Manager app.

Doesn't matter I can't seem to get into it anymore. Going to find a way to access my SD card, then get more space on it, leave my phone on for a few days then it will do a titanium backup, and I'll have all of my data. Think I'll just buy an S4 instead of getting a new S3

Okay i just bought a brand new ATT HTC One X and out of the box it comes with 4.1.1 and is build 3.18 with the 2.14 hboot.

i have flashed htc phones before and so im not new to it.

HOWEVER! lol

I was looking over the forum (and as confusing as it is with the different versions of the htc one x/xl/s/whatever else ) i believe this is the correct forum.

I am completely stock and those are my build and hboot out of the box. I want to root/unlock BL but so far no luck with any of the exploits.

Anyone here successfully rooted a 3.18 one x? or could i flash an RUU for the 2.20 build? how would i flash without first being rooted/custom recovery?

sorry if seem noob questions, been browsing the forums and google/bing all day and can't find a straight answer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
Unfortunately the answers are no and no. JB is decent even on fully stock AT&T, you will just have to look the other way when scrolling through your app tray :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
I don't think the current root methods allow for the 3.18 build to gain root. Might be in the 2.20 boat all over again until someone can find a definite procedure.

soooooooooooooooooooooo lame. my rezound had viper rez rom and it was based off one x jb but had all the tweaks and stuff so right now its like a major downgrade lol

guess i'll cry and wait for the HTC One to come out later this month, since i only grabbed the one x cause it was literally 11 cents at walmart with a 14 day return and my rezound is acting up and randomly restarting/tanking battery!

sigh

thanks for the info though Groovy

I had exact the same issue and trust me I tried everything I could find. Finally I used exploit v2.1.1 and then rooted with Revolution HD Root using TWRP 2.4.1.0...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] juicejuice:
I thought something like this would work:

1. HTCdev bootloader unlock

2. Flash custom recovery (TWRP)

3. Achieve SuperCID (can do this via TWRP adb?)

4. Run S-OFF procedure
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] panda_mode:
AT&T version of the One X isn't officially supported by htcdev to unlock boot loader (which is why many needed to change cid). If people who have the AT&T version are s-on, relocked, RUUed to 2.20, and flashed ota, they cannot root/unlock boot loader unless an amazing dev creates an exploit
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] juicejuice:
Damn that's annoying! If that were me I would sell my AT&T phone and with the cash buy an overseas One XL model with 32GB :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The AT&T CID is blocked within HTCDev.com. A unique situation, almost certainly directed by AT&T. Therefore, on AT&T version of the One X, you need at least temp root to change the CID, then you can unlock the bootloader.

No root/temp root on AT&T 3.18 = no bootloader unlock. It also means no S-off (since you need root to change the CID).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, I'd just take the phone back, if root/S-off, etc. is important to the OP. I assume 11 cents is a subsidized price. So no point in using up an upgrade on a phone that can't be modded, if he wants to get the HTC One when its released.

OP may also check to see if the store has any older stock with 2.20 firmware (or any previous firmware version except 3.18). Phones with 3.18 out of the box must be very new, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had some older stock also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bubbled:
I returned the one x today. will be looking into the t-mobile version of the HTC One which they told me comes out friday the 22nd. being a new phone i know i wont be able to do any mods or anything for a while, but that won't take long with the awesome Devs we have here! All the other models of the One X were sold out, and im guessing that someone realized that the new firmware was Out of Box so picked em all up. only had 2-3 stores with one each so its possible. now all the new stores have the new firmware :( no big deal, i'd prefer an HTC DNA anyways, but we'll see what the One is all about.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:
I tried Xfactor and it said the cid for my device out of box 3.18 firmware 2.14 hboot was CID Cws__001.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yes, the CID for AT&T is cws_001 on all of the previous firmware versions, as well. This hasn't changed. cws__001 is blocked on HTCDev.com.

So i have the key for my past bootloader unlock can i use it?

Enviado desde mi HTC One X usando Tapatalk 2
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yes.

If you were unlocked before, how did you get on the 3.18 RUU/OTA? Did you change your CID back to AT&T's CID? Or did you S-off.

If you are S-off, no need to unlock the bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Yes, you still need to have the bootloader unlocked to write to recovery and some other stuff. I tested this myself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Really? Kinda negates part of the purpose of having S-off, doesn't it?

Another question is can you run RUU and get back to ICE CREAM SANDWICH? I have a bootloader of 2.14 but I am on at&t 3.18
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
No, that wouldn't work. The unlock code is linked to the IMEI number, and therefore specific to your old device.

If it worked that way (wasn't device specific), somebody could just post their bin code on the internet, and everyone could unlock their bootloader with that one code.

As I already said in this thread, you can't "downgrade" by running an older (previous version) RUU. You can't run an RUU that contains an older hboot version that what is on the device. The hboot versions for ICS were 1.09 and 1.14, so you will fail hboot version check (2.14>1.09 and 1.14).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Yeah I thought s-off would allow you to flash with a locked bootloader too the Facepalm guys didn't seem surprised by it though. I tested it with them

question

I let my AT&T one X update to 4.1.1 last night... from what I'm reading i cant root with the version....What if I factory reset? could I retry and then root and then after having rooted jump back onto the 4.1.1 train?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Factory reset won't change your software version. You're stuck until there is an exploit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austinlake92:
what if I got to the boot screen during the exploir where it showed the bootloaded options...there is a option to factory reset there? would that take me all the way back?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
No.

Again, factory reset just clears your data; it does nothing to change your OS.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:

It took months to get the 2.20 root method, and that was nowhere near as locked down as 3.18.

In rooting and jail breaking terms, soon = infinite wait. There is no exact ETA, but I have faith it can be done, with hard work and dedication.

My original phone came with 2.20 so I had to wait as well. It was nice finally getting S-OFF and now I'm back to square one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
Yeah um no.... Lol no one seems to realize that this phone is so locked down that its impossible. There is only one ONE way to do anything and that is through HTCDev. And it's not just Cid. A friend of mine changed his Cid to our at&t Cid yeah he was still able to get token unlock. So it's something more than that. Anyways if you want root and an unlocked bootloader go to YouTube and type on HTC one X jtag and contact them. I called my self and they said that they can downgrade my hboot firmware. About 70-80 dollars for what you want plus s-off. You're welcome. AGAIN. :)

Hey gang -

Working with my EVO 3D (Virgin Mobile) - and I'm stuck in a world of S-ON. The pre-requisites state that for the S-OFF Wire trick to work you must be on Windows 7 or less and be using specific version of HTC drivers. I'm running Windows 8, the specific version of HTC drivers recommended (HTC Driver 3.0.0.007) will not work in Windows 8. Needless to say I've not been able to get the wire trick to work and I'm "still sober". I've had very little success trying roms that will work and be happy with an S-ON phone. Until I decide to downgrade a machine back to Windows 7... what roms should I look for that I'll actually be able to use without bootlooping? So far the Midnight rom worked but is incredibly battery hungry (10 minutes of facebooking drops the battery 20-25%) - and today I installed MeanRom which seems to be doing better in the battery department.

Just looking for friendly advice... I've kinda given up on the wire trick for now.

The requirements for the JuopuntBear wire trick have been changed to Ubuntu Linux and they no longer support Windows at all. There's a live CD linked from the unlimited.io website that can be booted without having to actually install Linux so you might want to give that a try.

Most guides all say "click this post" for reference, that has a link within to click another post, which links to another post... lol, gets to where I've got 10 tabs open in no time... not complaining at all, just a bit time consuming to ensure all the info has been digested... :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Midnight1970:
I'm having fits!

I followed the guide... got the RUU installed and configured.... unlocked the bootloader (again)... flashed the SU.... now when I try to run ControlBear it won't complete, saying it can't transfer the backups - looking at the JuopunutBear website it says that error is due to a custom rom or htc sync installed.... I don't have htc sync and the rom is the RUU.... I'm really confused now... :(

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No problem.

Since you are S-OFF now you can just flash the firmware only updates from both the VM OTA's (November and March). The November update is in this post and the March update is in this post. Just flash them in sequence from the bootloader.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Midnight1970:
If I use fastboot commands to push those updates, can I rename them or do they have to remain named PG86IMG.zip?

If you use the "fastboot flash zip filename" command they can be named whatever you want.

All updates installed, things are working much better now.

But - using WTFN - there was a search bar (google) at the top that I turned off, but there is still a lot of space at the top of the screen that I can't use - a 4x2 widget that left me a row at the bottom.... on this rom I no longer have that row with a 4x2 widget. Is there a setting I'm missing?
