Hi guys,

Please help !

I've bought a new phone, htc one x, from someone. barely had time to install few apps, and got this OTA update message.

Without thinking twice - i did it. But it seems that the phone was rooted ! and as I understand now - it's a big no-no .

I've tried to figure out from the forum what to do , but - all the answers seems to include fastboot and ADB, which in turn require

the drivers of the phone to be installed. But my phone is dead ! so I can' t do it.

I'm new to roms and all, and I really need your help .

How can I make my phone work again ? I don't care which ROM , custom or stock , just to make it work .

Any help will be appreciated.

Gena
[HTC One X] big noob:
You can access Fastboot? Hold POWER and VOLUMEN - (down)..?
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
Hi , yes, I can access the fast boot, but even trying to restore to factory defaults didn't help.

And I can't istall the fastboot on my pc since it needs to connect to a working phone in debug mode (if I understand correctly)
[HTC One X] big noob:
Google Fastboot files :)

And place them on your pc..for example

On desktop..

C:\Users\Name\Desktop\

and next step go in that directory via CMD typr this

cd C:\Users\Name\Desktop\Fastboot\

And type this

Fastboot getvar cid

Then you will se your CID

go this thread and follow steps to recover your phone :)

[HTC One X] genaddiy:
Thank you very much for your help.

I've did the steps as you say, and finally was able to "see" my phone in fastboot from PC.

but the CID I am getting is 11111111 , and there is no backup that matches it.

Can I overwrite it with some kind of rom ? I don't care to loose all the data, just to get a working phone.
[HTC One X] big noob:
Download clockwordmod recovery img file :) And flash it via Fastboot..

Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

And then download this file:

Link!

And then access in recovery mount storage and copy that .zip file on your phone :) Clear and wipe everything except battery stats..And then flash that .zip file :)
[HTC One X] Thant:
You are S-OFF you can install any RUU try with THIS ONE lock the bootloader and run the RUU as Administrator

post result from command fastboot getvar all and delete your S/N and IMEI from the info for any case

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

He can't install OTA from recovery and you can't install OTA from recovery!!!!
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
Hi Thant, thank you for your help.

So you are saying that big noob's method won't work ?

I've downloaded the RUU, but I did not understand what you've meant by : "lock the bootloader" and when should I post the results of "fastboot getvar all" ? after I run the RUU , or before ?
[HTC One X] big noob:
You should post it before RUU..Well i tryed my method before and .zip flashed successfully..

And you can relock it with this command:

fastboot oem lock
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
Here's what I've got, no what should I do with it ? :o

You can relock your bootloader download RUU and run it as administrator :)
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
I tried to relock , but it said phone is already locked.

Then I ran RUU and got the following error :

ERROR [159] - The ROM update utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again .

But what is the correct for me ? and where do I get it ?
[HTC One X] Thant:
Try this one

And when you in bootloader what is writen up RELOCKED and ENDEAVORU XE or ENDEAVORU PVT
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
98552432 231

In the bootloader it says :

*** LOCKED *****

ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL
[HTC One X] Thant:
ENDEAVORU XE have problems with update you must manually update the firmware and after this to install RUU or custom rom.

Download THIS OTA open the zip and extract firmware.zip to your fastboot folder after this do this

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot you will see HTC logo

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Type: fastboot reboot

Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
I want to thank you for your patience with a noob like me :)

I did everything till the last line.

After flashboot reboot, my phone passed the first htc logo that it was stuck on , but now it's stuck on htc one screen (the one with beats audio logo at the bottom) .

Do I need to do the flash custom rom recovery ?
[HTC One X] Thant:
yes now flash custom recovery philz 5.15.x mount usb storage copy custom rom to the phone install and flash the boot.img and you will have working rom sense or no sense. Now after flash the firmware what is your hboot version 1.39? If yes you are ready to go:)
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
ok , just to make sure I understand before I do it a screw something up :

"yes now flash custom recovery philz 5.15.x mount usb storage copy custom rom to the phone install and flash the boot.img and you will have working rom sense or no sense. Now after flash the firmware what is your hboot version 1.39? If yes you are ready to go"

my hboot version is indeed 1.39

so I d/l philz custom recovery .

no I should :

fastboot flash zip philz_touch_6.07.9-endeavoru.zip

then go to the custom recovery ? (how ? ? ? )

then d/l some custom rom (any recomendations ? just a good stable one, possibly stock)

then copy it to phone using fastboot

and then , from custom recovery flash it ?

I'm sorry for all these questions, but I'm afraid to touch the damn thing already ))))
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash the recovery (its a img file NOT a zip, take out the img if its in the zip)

Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

Fastboot erase cache

Enter the recovery by selecting FASTBOOT in the bootloader and then RECOVERY (navigate with the volume buttons and confirm with the power button)

Go to the mounts and storage menu and mount the sdcard as a mass storage disk (wait a few minutes until it pops up on the pc)

Copy the rom.zip to the sdcard. Take out the boot.img and flash it via fastboot

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

Enter recovery again and perform a full wipe

Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Advanced-wipe dalvik cache

Mounts and storage-format cache, data and system

Install the rom.zip

Done !

Roms....just check the android dev section. Many roms to choose and read up for yourself. It's not that difficult ...maximus and arhd are very close to stock.
[HTC One X] genaddiy:
Thank you for the detailed reply !

When doing Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img I got the messege :

FAILED <remote : not allowed>

Is the problem that my phone is locked ? (written locked at the top of fastboot screen) tried to do fastboot oem unlock but getting "Command error !" .

I saw this solution : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/74316-a-solution-to-fastboot-flash-recovery-not-allowed-error/ , but I'm not sure it will fit my phone (as it talkes about a different one) and what is a PD98IMG.zip file ?
[HTC One X] Thant:
Yes now you must to unlock the phone via HTCDEV.com
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
And then follow the earlier described steps....

Mr Hofs, Thant, big noob - Thank you all very much for all your help and patience ! Phone finally works ! Thank you for helping noobs like me .

Hy. I have problem with my Galaxy s3. Recently it’s was upgraded on Jelly Beam 4.3 I can’t change or remove my text on lock screen!! Previously it was on settings and owner info i think, but now i can’t find it! Help? And I don’t have option to hold my finger on lock screen and just turn mobile phone to switch on camera! And also I turn on option when i touch the screen 3 times fast, it's zoom the screen. I don't remember where I turn this on, I looked, but can't find it. Sorry for bad english.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunal1540:
There was some problem noted with the newer firmwares of 4.3.. But check if you have ticked multiple widgets in lockscreen settings...

Then some users said changing home screen mode helped them... Try that.. If not then you can download firmware mk6 which has that option by default..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
1) Did you try Settings -> My device -> Lock screen -> Lock screen widgets -> Clock or personal message / Owner information ?

If you don't see it, perhaps you istalled Xposed framework and module that causes this kind of problem...

2) I think that samsung disabled the camera feature in 4.3, and also didn't include it as a widget. Fortunately, someone developed

Xposed module that does it flawlessly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363189

(If you don't have root access and Xpoesed framework intalled- well, its about time to start... :p)

3) Go to Settings -> My device -> Accessibility -> Magnification festures and voilà!

(ps- don't forget to hit thaks button :angel:)

The screen does light up and the phones vibrates to tell me it has turned on just no xperia logo or anything.. and if it helps the blue light at the bottom of the phone doesnt flash?/

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfraider:
I have got LG L9 II with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with kernel 3.4.0 (no newer firmware from LG nor other unofficial ports).

I paired with it my Scala Rider G4 (by Cardo Systems) motorcycle bluetooth headset.

Pairing went OK, audio is transmitted by headset. But BT buttons do not work (almost) at all:

- initialize call, end call (Media Button?) - no reaction after one press,

- same button pressed twice - phone starts redialing last number (this is not default action of headset),

- volume up pressed once - no reaction,

- volume up long pressed - next song in player,

- volume down - no action.

With Nokias Symbian, or even Android 4.0.4, headset worked great.

I tried many apps like:

- Bluetooth Launcher,

- Tasker,

- Bluetooth Hedset Control

They simply did nothing.

So I thought, that maybe there are strange key mappings for that device. I tried KeyNumerTracker and ButtonRemapper from this forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464) - no reaction, like I did not press any button.

What can I do? Can I somehow check, whether BT buttons are received by phone? And change that strange reaction for dbl-press, long press?

Don't really mess with BT stuff much, but found this: http://www.cardosystems.com/user_files/Manuals/scala_G4/scalarider_G4_manual_english.pdf

If you go to Page 6, it has info about updating the software of your BT device and mentions being able to customize some parts of it. Maybe it'll allow you to remap or the software update might make it more compatible with your current set up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfraider:
I did upgrade to newest firmwarevof Scala as one of first steps. It changed nothing. I also did some experiments with my BT headset Nokia BH-202 - same results, button does not work.

But I discovered funny thing - when there is incoming phone, I can answer it and later end with my headsets button (both Scala and Nokia), so buttons do not work only in standby mode.

Hi everybody!

This is my first post as I usual solve my problems just by reading others people posts.

I recently flashed my z1 (C6903) to 14.2.A.0.290 Generic NCB (Unbranded/Nordic) (4.3 android) as I didn 't like the DE(german version) with the bloatware. I rooted it before with kingo but lost my root after flashing the NCB version I'm now looking for a way to downgrade to a older ncb version root it with kingo and then do a ota upgrade to keep the root. Does anybody have the FTF therfore and what boxes should I pick I want to keep my data or should I let it do a full wipe do a backup with sony companion or the sony app on the phone and than play it in after finishing the downgrade root and OTA? Pls help me I' m completly lost and I'm really missing the root.

Thanks in advance to everyone!!!!!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
My experience is that if older FTFs aren't in the mega thead (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469191), then you won't find them anywhere. Mega thread only has a 290 FTF for NCB, so you may be SOL if you want to strictly downgrade to 534 NCB and then OTA to 290. However, as long as you flash a generic FTF, you won't get carrier bloatware.

If root is what you'd want, I'd go with [NUT]'s pre-rooted 290: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572988. It's the easiest way to get full root.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Here's a link to the correct FTF (note that it is .257, so follow the guides regarding rooting .257, or if you're savvy, install a .534 kernel, root with Kingo, install a .257 kernel again, then OTA)

https://mega.co.nz/#!WkolCYjB!IIXR5SgAn-J05MXmG26GYyi2P2sYcF34Avn73z5Y9n0

It is incorrectly named Generic SE, but it is the right customisation ID for Generic NCB (1276-9897).

Thanks for ur fast answer two last questions if I want to keep all my data and apps whats the ebst way to keep them or transfer a backup? And what is the right rooting methode for the 257.

Thanks again!!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Sony PC Companion can make a backup for you, I don't know how much will be saved as in order to flash a 4.2.2 ROM you'll need to wipe your data partition.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
257 can't be rooted manually, only 534 can be rooted by vRoot/Kingo/etc.

Since you are downgrading, you must wipe data and will lose everything you don't copy off the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydrift:
So I have to get the 534 ftf generic or nordic do a backup with Sony companion before.flash the 534 root it and let it do ota twice to 257 and then to 290 again ota and I ll keep the root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
No, it's not possible to upgrade 257/290 and keep root. You asked about downgrading, not rooting 290. If you have an unlocked BL, go read the dev thread on how to root 290. With a locked BL, you'll need to get rooted 534/257 and then flash a custom pre-rooted ROM from the dev forum.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Actually with OTA you keep semi-root, but in essence you're right. Actually I think the easiest solution is to flash a stock .534 ROM, root it with Kingo, grab TA partition backup, flash .290, unlock bootloader, flash a recovery, do a proper root, reflash stock boot partition, flash TA backup.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Yeah, true, I've just stopped telling people about partial root since full root is possible. Those who don't know to ask don't know what it means anyway, and it's just simpler for everyone involved to leave it out.
