Bought an ATT branded One X from a friend that is stuck in bootloop. He attempted an ota update, and now it boots to black screen after the htc logo screen. Home buttons light up, stay lit. The ATT chime is heard, but no display. Booting recovery leads to the red triangle. I have no idea if he turned fastboot off, or even the software version he had or was trying to update. I am hoping the phone is saveable, and hoping to load it with a good custom if possible. I have been searching and reading for hours, and have mixed results as to the proper direction. Currently, I can boot into hboot/recovery mode. This is the info on screen:
locked
evita pvt ship S-on rl
Hboot 2.14.000
radio 0.17.32.09.12
And so on.
I've read I need s-off, and unlocked, as well as root and twrp or cwm installed. Ok, no problem. Also know fastboot needs to be off. I have also read this is not possible without knowing what version is on the phone, and that this phone is bricked. Seems to me that it's not, but maybe it is.
Can I use a toolkit to get s-off and unlocked AND turn off fastboot, and then simply flash twrp and a custom Rom, orrrr...???????
