i was flashing a rom via ruu then when the error that says flush immediately popped up i typed fastboot oem rebootRUU but it said waiting for device so i disconnected the phone and rebooted into fastboot but i might have rebooted into android i can't remember, now fastboot doesnt work. anyone help ? thanks.
also on the bootloader it says OS-3.62.1700.1 (3.10.502.2) in red letters. its relocked bootloader s-off cid1111111 i wanted to go to stock cause its on gpe 4.4.2 and its still there.
So I was on my way to unlocking my boot loader and rooting the phone when i ran into this issue. (i am on AT&T)
The phone is stuck on a Red Exclamation Point and then it reboots to a white HTC screen every minute or two.
Where I was at in the process my bootloader was "unlocked", "tampered" displayed. I had even backed up with TWRP. The thing was I couldnt get the USB Debugging turned on. I turned it on before I started the process and was having trouble finishing with superuser and rooting the device. I had been trying forever to setup the S-OFF Feature to NO AVAIL.
Once I unlocked on HTCdev and then setup TWRP I just could never get the phone back to normal.
Once again this is the INT'L Version of the HTC ONE MAX and I just don't know where to turn next.
Please help. I am without phone and just purchased yesterday.
TIA - Mark
Well what you need is an ruu (rom utility updater) which is an updater program officially from htc. but I can't seem to find it for you, perhaps because it's not even made yet..
I'm affraid it's gonna have to go back to the store, are you able to acces to bootloader? if not, then don't worry about it being unlocked, they'll never notice. They're going to reset it for you or give you a replacement.

heres my question how do i know what RUU to search for? how do i figure out which version i need based on my phone?
Thanks in advance.

Well you say you have the international version? but you got it from at&t so it's carrier branded right?
but first things first, you have to be able to access the bootloader to start the ruu. So can you access it?
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
Then it will tell you the CID. this code is needed when receiving updates from your carrier.
You will need to find the ruu for your CID, any other ruu won't work.
If you find an international ruu for your phone, you can use that one, but you have to have SuperCID.
You can get superCID after you s-off..
If you have SuperCID you can flash any ruu for your device, be careful though, I bricked my htc one s with a wrong ruu.
Goodluck!
the phone is not sold by ATT but is GSM
i cannot access boot loader.
I cant get past the RED EXCLAMATION (so am I bricked?)
this is the phone...
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Max-F...92559809&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+max+unlocked
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
also i did find the TRWP backup if that matters or helps....
i tried both commands and it says fastboot is notrecognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
Well if you cannot access the bootloader, then you can't use fastboot commands..
Can you tell me what button pressing combinations you have used to enter bootloader?
Can you try to power the phone off completely and then just hold volume down?
The twrp backup can come in handy when your phone gets a working recovery, don't delete that
when i hold down the vol down...it just stays on RED EXCLAMATION....and when I try and enter bootloader mode with vol it just gives me the reset to the White HTC screen and back to the RED EXCL
i have not been able to power down completely

I'm pretty clueless here, If i were you i would keep trying to get in the bootloader. I have had a similar soft brick on my htc one and after half an hour of pressing every key combination it ended up in the bootloader. If that doesn't work I would let it get replaced on warranty
Okay so now I need some HELP.
I took out the SD Card and the SIM Card and the Bootloader screen comes up.
My choices are FASTBOOT, RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK etc.
What do I do. I feel like I got one chance at this!
And here is my boot loader
my last question....how do i enable the USB Debugging. It shows as being OFF.
Can i do through boot loader or through the CMD Prompt..?

okey here's what you do, you don't have to have usb debugging enabled. that's only for adb purposes. You need to try and access the twrp recovery from the bootloader. If it doesn't work. try and look for the boot.img file of a twrp recovery for your device and flash that through fastboot
Hi all, yesterday I updated the bootloader of my OnePlus X and today I accidentally rebooted it into fastboot mode, when I tried to reboot the device it started a bootloop. Now I can't even boot into recovery but only in fastboot. I also tried to flash TWRP with command prompt but it says that the device isn't unlocked (strange i'm sure it was till yesterday) so I tried to unlock it with "fastboot oem unlock" but it says that oem unlock is disabled. Please help me
To unbrick your phone use this
You can then update to 3.1.3 Stock with the default bootloader.
You need to enable OEM-unlock in the developer-settings else patching the new bootloader may lock it again had the same problem.

Thank you! It worked
Hello there!
I was on Sultanxds Custom rom + kernel and decided to flash another Rom. Therefore i wanted to update my TWRP to Version 3.0.2.0.
So i went into fastboot, connected my phone to the pc as always an ran the comand: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx-20161116-113742.img". I got the message: "FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)"
So i checked for oem unlock and this was the message i got.
"(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false"
I just dont understand why the bootloader is locked... how is this even possible but anyways so i tried to just normaly reboot the device. But now i see the 1+ logo for 1 sec and it vibrates. And then it turns black again and I see the logo again and again...
But i'm still able to enter fastboot mode and i can send command from my PC. Can anyone tell what steps i have to do to make it bootable again? (is this a hardbrick?).
Thx in advice!
I just followed the hardbrick guide and i'm now on stock OS. For some reason the bootloader was locked again... problem solved and this thread can be closed...
I'm planning on selling my Motorola one, and the bootloader was unlocked. I used the Motorola/Lenovo flashing assistant thing to reflash stock everything, and it worked as I can boot into stock and use it like normal. but when I relocked the bootloader, now it says "your device has loaded a different operating system". it's fully stock. and if I try re-running the flashing tool it says "rsa has detected your device is flash locked, please contact customer service". I can still unlock the bootloader again if I wanted to, but I'm trying to get rid of this annoying yellow message. any fix?

Have you tried to use Motorola qboot?
If not:
Start device in fastboot mode, and
run the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem blankflash
after that, extract and run the Unbrick.bat that I'll leave in this reply, your phone should be on a black screen when running the command, but after running the "Unbrick.bat" it should restart to the unlocked bootloader!
