HTC One X Stuck Update Screen

Updating the HTC One X over the air to 1.28.401.9 which downloaded, rebooted and installed fine but after a second restart the phone was stuck on the update screen with no progress bar or anything. The only thing on the screen was an icon in the middle of a phone and some arrows.

Restarting the phone by pressing the power button goes back to the same screen. To solve the issue unplug the cable from the phone.

    I had the same thing. Updating sign was showing all the time on the screen even though the updating bar was already finished. I tried to reboot it twice by long pressing the power button, but it wouldn’t do any help. Then I removed the cable, and it finally finished updating and restarted automatically. And earlier, I tried to do the system updating once as well, while many other apps were updating the same time. In the end, that updating failed cause it stuck at the screen ‘verifying update package’, and it would not move on to next step at all, but that time it was not with cable on. In the end I have to delete the downloaded file from ‘Download’, and try to update again.

    Thanks for this. Was worried it had broken on the first day, but as soon as I removed the power cable the screen disappeared and the update went fine!
