If you have hboot 1.14 you need to manually flash boot.img in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

How to fix and for future fixes

Ok dude here's what you are going to do.

1. go into the bootloader.

2. read the hboot number if it is 1.14 or higher then get cleanrom 5.1 from scottsroms.com make sure u get the one for the htc one x and it is in archived builds GET 5.1 only 5.1 otherwise still for any other number follow the link, this is just to help you in future installations.

3. download cleanrom 5.1

4. get into twrp while in fastboot/bootloader by hitting bootloader with power key and volume down to recovery which you will click with the power button.

5. plug phone into computer and tap the big 5 sided rectangle like shape that says mount and in there hit mount usb storage or something like that.

6. drag cleanrom 5.1 to the downloads folder or where ever you keep your roms.

7. x out of the file explorer than hit unmount in the phone. Unplug the phone.

8. hit the back arrow in TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Hit factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If you want to be safe wipe system.(do this for all future rom installations.)

9. go to the install after getting out of the wipe menu.

10. tap clean rom and install the settings you want (make sure you hit the i never took the 2.20 firmware update/unsure option).

11. reboot system

12. wait up to 10 minutes if it doesn't work ruu use instructions on onexroot.com under unroot and then go to unbrick at&t one x

13. for future rom installations if you have hboot 1.14 or higher extract the boot.img and either booting in the bootloader and going to the fastboot menu and putting in the command fastboot flash boot boot.img or as do what i do which is to use the TN win installer to flash them for me in the bootloader.

IF YOU RUUED THEN YOU WILL NEED TO DO STEP 13 To INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS

Say something if this fails or you don't understand.

sorry there's no links xda doesn't let me post links. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
This is the HTC ONE XL EVITA. You're gonna brick someone with instructions like this. If this guy who clearly has no idea what he's doing flashes an htc one x rom, he's got an irrecoverable brick.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Since you are a first timer, the best way for these guys to help you is to give them as much information as you can. Don't go flashing anything until you and they understand what it is going on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Boss you need to leave the "advice/instruction giving" to people who actually know what they're talking about man.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] boss1019:
cleanrom 5.1 is for at&t one x /one xl

dude i have a one xl i flash one xl kernels, roms etc. i just gave instructions on how i get out of of the same situation.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

dude i have a one xl i flash one xl kernels, roms etc. i just gave instructions on how i get out of of the same situation. I would not be dumb enough to flash a international one x rom on an xl. The only reason I don't give links is because xda doesn't let me. Cleanrom 5.1 has feature for those who bricked and had to ruu or took the ota to 2.20 with hboot 1.14 where you don't have to write the boot.img first.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Good then since you're so capable, you know that when it comes to the one xl and stituations like this, it's best to get all the details hboot, SiperCID, S-ON or S-OFF and what the person did when the brick occured. To just go off spouting unspecific, unteaching instructions like that you're causing more bad than good. Thank you though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Can I get an AMEN!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] boss1019:
I completely agree which is why i gave instructions geared towards someone like this guy who won't give us any thing. The instructions are designed for any hboot and SuperCID. Which btw this guy seriously needs to give us more info.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
AMEN!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] boss1019:
really

no offense the best advice giving i've seen so far is dude you need to do fastboot flash boot boot.img to a guy who probably doesn't as far as I can tell is very new to this kind of thing (roms, kernels, s-off etc. )

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

dude back and forths aside, you're going to need to give as much info. What hboot are you on. what twrp do you have. what did you try to install. what rom are you on. what did you do to install zip (what did you wipe). finally are you s-off (if you don't know what it is you're probably s-on)

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

give us a blow by blow what happens when you boot. Example: Phone vibrates and goes to white htc screen with read text, then goes to the boot animation for cyanogenmod and doesn't stop the animation unless it is forcebly shut down

Help

Bootloader says **tampered** and **unlocked**, and I have hboot version 1.14.002. Flashed TWRP. Wiped, so now I don't have my stock OS anymore. Tried to flash Cleanrom 6.5 and selected options, but the install always ends in a second and fails. The reboot screen warns me that I don't have an OS installed and when I do, it tells me that it's a developer build/etc. Help, it's my first time doing this.

Edit: Never mind, used an older version of TWRP, worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneru:
Hey, guys!

I've had my I9100 for almost 3 months now. Everything was working fine till last week. I was charging my phone, left it overnight and when I woke up in the morning, unplugged it and it didn't turn on. Thought the phone bricked by itself but when I connected a home-made jig I have it turned on but when it booted the battery was 0%.

Did some research around here and connected it to a 1A charger and left it charging (phone off) for an hour and that fixed the problem. But Two days ago, every time I use my phone and the battery discharges till 60%, the screen flickers a tiny bit and the phone turns off. When I try to turn the phone on, it gets to the booting animation and then it turns off. Sometimes it would boot and the battery indicator would show a charge of 13% or even 1%. It turns on and stays on if I connect it to the charger and let it charge but when I unplug it, it would do the same when it gets the 60%.

The only way I've made it go under 60% charge is if I wipe the batt stats when is charged and when I re-charge it, goes back to the 60% issue. I've been thinking about buying a new battery but I'm not sure if is the phone or the battery and came here to ask.

Will try to borrow a battery from a friend today and see if the problem persists.

Any help will be much appreciated. ;)

Edit: I'm running Jellybam 7.2.0

I swapped batteries with a friend that also has a stock I9100 and my battery did the same to his phone. Guess is time to get a battery replacement.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oklono:
hi, i am actually facing the same problem as you. i got my i9100 for around 3 months now. 1 month ago i updated to stock jelly bean 4.1.2. it was only until last week when the battery issue surface. i had my phone charged to 100%. switched it off for the night. when i attempt to switch it on again in the day, the phone would not start up and reflects that its battery level is 0%. for subsequent days i have observed the following:

First the phone can never be fully charged. it will reflect that the charge is complete and request to remove the charging cable.

Secondly, i realized that when i removed cable, the notification to remove the cable did not disable.

Lastly, when i restart my phone, the battery level will drop to 70 - 80% range. Currently i am suspecting its a software issue. trying to install a updated stock rom now.

One more issue. whenever i switch off my phone, the giant battery logo will keep appearing in the middle of the black screen. i will not be able to switch on the phone unless i enters its recovery mode and select "reboot now manually". maybe you can verify if you have the same issue with your faulty battery? i am currently trying to troubleshoot the root of my battery problem.

any help is appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneru:
Your battery is probably damaged too, since everything was fine for almost 3 weeks, as you mentioned. If it was a software issue, I guess it would have caused problems since you updated the phone. I'd recommend you to check if your battery is swollen: take the battery off, put it on a flat surface and try to spin it. If it spins a lot, then it is swollen and you need a replacement.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC Sensation] olu.danNY:
Hello,

I tried going back to stock but after flashing an RUU I downloaded, it gave me error 152. I no longer see the Bootloader but the HTC LOGO and four triangles around the 4 angles on phone start-up. I know I can't do the Fastboot recovery... Is there any other means I can use to re-flash the Bootloader/Recovery?

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] bender19911:
Try to pull battery out and put on, then <Volume_Down>+<Power> buttons and go to fastboot, Connect USB. Download the RUU you want (if you have SuperCID) and try to flash it via fastboot. I've tried this way several times, but never get the result like yours.

Hi, My xda II can't seem to open programs when connected to the cradle..

It says ->

eg. windows media player

"cannot open 'wmplayer'. A critical component is missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap start > settings > System tab > Memory, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again."

there were no other programs running except active sync. This always is the case when the xda II is connected to the cradle.

Ben, How come there is too many programs running when connected? I always check the running programs and the only program running is active sync...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jos:
Lots of programs are running in the background.

Programs don't realy close if you click on X.

Use Magic Button to really close programs (freeware).

Download it @ http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bdarras:
Well! I don't have a XDA II actually, but I read in this forum that you can only have a maximum number of Programs ? Threads ? Processes ? Services running. Then Windows Mobile starts closing the programs you have in the background.

What I was suggesting is that you are already running the maximum number -1 of processes, when you cradle it, activeSync process starts up, so you reach your maximum total of processes, after that, Windows refuses to start any new processes, instead of closing the ones that are running in the background, maybe because they are all "critical".

It was just a suggestion,

try closing some other programs you might have installed and start up everytime

According to Paul O'brien (who from what I understand is a pretty solid source) AT&T has locked down the One's bootloader, like it did with the One X. Apparently that turned out to be a huge mess. Was totally planning on getting this, now I'm strongly reconsidering... :(

Here's the post: https://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/321568521521881088.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] redpoint73:
I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.

What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.

This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] americasteam:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
To the OP.. Where have you been lately? this isn't no surprise to anyone that the phone has a lock bootloader

And to all of you buying the dev edition, whats the point of a unlock bootloader if you don't have s-off?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.

Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] superchilpil:
If I read correctly, someone stated that the cid partition was write protected on the one

So since supercid was how we unlocked the boot loader it may be a bit more difficult on the one
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mchinand:
I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] redpoint73:
My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.

S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tian105:
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

That's a how to, if unlocking isn't blocked by the carrier

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tian105:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Yeah you can flash roms etc..

But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?

I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that

Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aimetti:
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable

There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CiDhed:
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.

Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th. :D

Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:

I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.:confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lunercrab:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aimetti:
My guess is due to the company position. Att needs the gs4 more than Samsung needing Att. They make billions anyways. Htc however is in search of some real profits and phone sales. Just bargaining positions.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mchinand:
So how does locking the bootloader (HTC, or any other manufacturer) benefit AT&T?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
Maybe they saw a rise of HTC phones being returned or being fixed under warranty and saw a lot of people messing up their devices. So they locked it down?

Maybe samsung phones were easy to fix? Idk but Verizon gs3 bootloader is locked and the note 2. So its carrier dependent.

Hell Verizon locks all boot loaders so nvm
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] americasteam:
Because they want it to operate as they intended. No matter how bad that is. ;)

Not just ATT Bands. Rogers, Fido and a few others Canadian providers as well which uses the same bands.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
You misread my post. Were talking about atts locked boot loader. They are selling a unlocked and developer edition for ATT customers mainly because of that. Since T-Mobile and sprint versions ARE unlockable, there is no dev versions for them.

Plus its sold only to a VALID US Address only. Gotta go through a lot of hoops to purchase it.

So...... Canada is ou
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] HTCFAN0923:
I can also confirm from my sources that the AT&T ONe WILL ha e it's bootloader on lo brown which is why the Developer Edition is only available in the U.S.

As far as S-OFF, my One X isn't S-OFF yet I flash RIMs often without doing the kernal flash. I was unther the assumption that a unlocked bootloader and Root were all that was needed to flash ROMS.

Btw, I also got a Developer Edition.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
Seems legit... Can't even string together a sentence without spelling errors, but seems legit.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] redpoint73:
That's likely exactly the case. Samsung is doing amazingly well with their smartphones, and are by far the leading seller of Android phones, with the Galaxy S series in particular being wildly popular. So as you say, AT&T needs them more than vice versa.

Such is not the case with HTC, who has been really struggling financially for some time now. HTC needs to be able to sell their flagship on AT&T, or their chances of surviving (at least in the US market) are going to dwindle.

For all we know, AT&T even compensates HTC monetarily to keep the bootloader locked. Something HTC isn't in a financial position to refuse (and again, not the case for Samsung).

Its really a shame, as I think many of us can agree that HTC by far makes the better hardware, compared to Sammy's cheap looking/feeling plasticky devices. Really unfortunate that such a beautiful device may be marred with an unlockable bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Sango2:
I was basing it on that post, but wans't realizing you're talking about the bootloader as I mistaken it by frequency bands.

I assume you meant to say Canada is out. Not for me, I was able to pre-order my developer edition from HTC.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
It will be rooted. How many flagship devices can you name that wasn't rooted ?

I've been on this forum since the G1 days and I've bought almost every flagship HTC device with a lock bootloader n devs here always manage to unlock them
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] redpoint73:
If the Twitter comment in the OP is true, than an "official" bootloader unlock is not allowed through HTC's website. On the vast majority of the more recent HTC's devices, root is available out of the box, and simply a matter of unlocking the bootloader and flashing SU/SuperSU. AT&T is the only carrier to block this method, and on only one phone to date (One X).

If this turns out to be the case for the One, than as mentioned in the previous response, it will be up to the devs here to find an exploit to gain root, or otherwise unlock the bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
That Motorola guy whatever who exploits them said if you want a unlocked boot loader/root, purchase a unlocked device. Don't expect someone to find a exploit for you because its getting difficult and consumed a lot of time.

He is on point.
