How to Unbrick the HTC One X
Method 1 of 2:
Performing a Hard Reset
- Verify that your HTC One X is fully charged. A full charge will help ensure that your device will not power down at any point during the reset process and cause further complications.
- Back up all personal data, if possible. A hard reset will wipe and erase all data from the memory of your device.
- Sync your personal information with Google's servers, or connect your HTC One X to your computer using a USB cable so you can transfer personal data to your computer.
- Tap on 'Settings,' then tap on 'Power.'
- If you are unable to access the menu on your device due to software problems associated with bricking, skip ahead to step #5.
- Remove the checkmark next to 'Fast Boot.'
- Power off your device.
- Press and hold the Volume Down key, then press and hold the Power button.
- Continue pressing both keys until the device powers on.
- Release the Power button. The Bootloader options menu will display on-screen.
- Use the volume keys to navigate to and highlight 'Factory Reset.'
- Press the Power button to make your selection. Your HTC One X will reset, restore the original factory settings, and will be un-bricked.[1]
