[Q]Too many issues?

First of all I'm new to this forum so Hello! second of all I'm also new to rooting and custom ROM's.
So today after 3 days of trying to unlock my HTC One X by htcdev.com i finally submitted my identifier token and i got the Unlock_code.bin
I downloaded Android Revolution HD 18.1, I also downloaded the CWM v5.8.4.0 and installed it on my phone.
After that i followed the instructions on how to install the Revolution HD 18.1, after doing all the steps on my phone it told me it was succesfully installed and i had to reboot the system. So i did it, then the part comes where i'm getting stuck. It was rebooting my htc , and it wouldn't go further then the opening screen HTC quietly brilliant it was stuck there. trying to put my phone on and off and on and off, same problem. Now i can only go in the boot-loader menu and in recovery menu and that's it. I re-lock my phone again to update firmware. NOW I HAVE ONLY ACESS TO BOOT MENU AND BATTERY IS ALSO NOT CHARGING I PUT IT ON CHARGING FOR 5, 6 HOURS. WHEN EVER I TRY TOO UNLOCK BOOT LOADER IT SAYS BATTER LOW
I did a lot of research on how to fix my problem, unfortunately nothing helped. (Maybe cuz I'm a noob and new to this)
I tried almost every thing but nothing help
Can someone please help me with this, i've been trying it all day now and i'm giving up the hope.

leave it on the bootloader to charge

Leaving it in the bootloader will drain the phone, it does not charge there.
Use the bat script in the right way ? Place this
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
In the fastboot folder on the pc, put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Right click the .bat file and select it to run as administrator ! That's the only way to charge the batt up. Leave it for an hour and you should be able to unlock it and flash a custom recovery from where you can charge the up to more power

Thanks and whta next dear

Don't touch the supersu.zip, it is unnecessary.
1. Wipe/factory reset
2. Flash the ARHD.zip
3. Flash the boot.img from the ARHD.zip "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Yep the rom is pre rooted so you can skip that

How to charge in recovery and secondly how to fast boot after flashing with ARHD confuse

You flashed cwm recovery 5.4.8.0 ? If you are in the recovery and you see the led burning is okey, of not leave the cable on the phone and on the pc and reboot the recovery
Like fastboot command but instead fastboot you type
Adb reboot recovery
It reboots the recovery and the led should go on !
And if you want to go to the bootloader from the recovery you type
Adb reboot bootloader

1. Download HTC drivers and install them. Choose one of the following 32 BIT 64 BIT
2. Download the attached fastboot files. Extract them to a folder on your PC where they are easily accessible.
3. Extract the boot.img from ARHD.zip to the folder too.
4. Hold SHIFT and click RIGHT mouse button anywhere in that folder. Select "open command prompt here".

[Q] Fix Bootloop with RUU?

Hey guys.
Couldn't find any other posts so I'm hoping I'm not breaking any rules.
Yes, I'm a n00b. Was handed down an old Desire Z still using Froyo and decided to install Cyanogenmod.
My attempted install didn't get past rooting for reasons unbeknownst to me. I used CM's guide: Installing CM for Vision. I got stuck at Rooting the Desire Z.
I followed it to the letter and made it to step 10. Upon reboot the phone reaches "HTC - quietly brilliant" and sounds it's little jingle. Goes black after a while and plays the jingle/logo again. And again. And again. I have to remove the battery to get it quiet again. I can make it to HBOOT and the screen displays (beware verbosity):

FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
SYSTEM INFO
IMAGE CRC
I believe the guide I followed installed a custom recovery image. Clockwork Recovery? Accessing RECOVERY results in a quick buzz with HTC logo and a prompt return to FASTBOOT. FACTORY RESET yields the same result. SIMLOCK comes up with "SD init fail !!! Process done, reboot device?" SYSTEM INFO comes up with what the title hints. I'll list if need be. IMAGE CRC comes up with checksums:
hboot: 0x2A125CF4
boot: 0xF7629548
recovery: 0x3921C16D
system: 0xD5CE705B
That's about as far as I can get from concise.
I've downloaded an RUU for it, have the Android SDK and Odin.
I'm not sure if the RUU will fix anything or how to install it. So my question is, how do I get my phone booting again?
Any feedback would be very appreciated.

you used THIS GUIDE? step ten is to check if gfree worked, did it? you didnt need to reboot first to check
anyway looking at your current spl i believe you should be fine, just flash a custom recovery in fastboot - download from CM SITE and check md5

now youll be in clockwork and flash a rom from there (i suggest looking into 4ext recovery)
oh and for the above to work you need to change name of recovery you downloaded to recover.img, also need to have changed your path in environmental variables or have the image in same folder as fastboot.exe is in

Thanks!
Thanks so much I owe you big-time. And thanks for the quick reply.
I followed your instructions, got Clockwork up, factory reset, got stock firmware back up and flashed Cyanogenmod and it's all running fine now. (I did have to Cyanogenmod twice) I'll be sure to take a look at 4EXT. Thanks again.

adb/fastboot and constantly rebooting

I was trying to look what was installed on a friend's HTC Desire, so I used "adb reboot bootloader", and only used "fastboot devices" to make sure it sees the smartphone. I left it connected for some time while I was looking for some things related to installing a custom firmware and it got hot. I have a HTC Hero and I had it gone hotter and nothing happened, but after I restarted this HTC Desire it kept restarting continously after it played the HTC animation. I can still get into the bootloader/recovery, but that's kind about it, nothing more. Should I just wait for it to cool down, or I might just bricked it?
<<Update>>
It's been more than 8 hours and the smartphone still does this. The thing is the volume buttons are broken, I only have fastboot control over it. The only solution that came to my mind was to flash it with a Touch ROM, but I can't find a fastboot command to restart directly into recovery, I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. Does anybody have an idea on how to get directly to recovery from fastboot?

Well, in fasboot you select "bootloader", then recovery.

Download the 4ext recovery.img on your PC. Then boot the phone into fastboot and run the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

It worked, now the phone it's fully functional (except the volume buttons of course) .
I used the following steps:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
2. wipe both types of data
3. went to advanced menu and used the other type of wipe (dalvanic or something).
Thanks .

Do you have a custom recovery?
If you dont, you can find one here 4ext recovery
Download it and extract the .img file to ur adb/fastboot directory.
Rename the .img file to recovery.img
Boot your device into bootloader.
Connect your device to your PC and enter...
Code:
fastboot devices
(just to be sure.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once its done flashing, reboot your device into recovery.
Transfer a rom to ur sd card.
Flash it and flash inpiremod if not added to rom already.

Wait i think i am beginning to get you. Pls answer these questions
1. When you boot into bootloader and then select recovery, does it vibrate and gives you a black screen?
2. When you turn it off and connect it to a computer via usb, does the charging light come on and shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD on your computer?
3. When you try flashing ruu, via placing the ***IMG.zip on your sdcard and boot to bootloader, does it detect the ruu, asks you weather you want to flash. And after pressing volume up for yes, its looks as if its flashing but after rebooting stays the same?
4. Or when you try to flash the system.img via fastboot, does it gets stuck flashing?

1) yes, it vibrates and then 7 vibrations (after 2~3 secs) and then a black screen, and hitting the power button wont reboot the phone
2) yes, and even when it is on and on black screen it gives it to me
3) yes
3) no, never tried it

Lol..you are in serious trouble.
You might be wondering how i knew all that.
Cause it happened to my old Desire HD(Still didnt know weather it was a DHD or Inspire 4G.
It turned out it was emmc problem.
You should think of getting a new device or getting a new motherboard as that was what i did.
I followed an unbrick thread here.
It never worked for me. But you could try.
I remember i installed a wrong QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers which kind of corrupted the bootloader.
So watch out what drivers you use. There might be a possiblity, your might work.

You need to remove the PC10IMG.zip from your SD card, after that you will be able to get into recovery

That does indeed allow me to select Recovery, but that boots me to this screen:

Been a while so I can't say for sure, but I believe that is stock recovery
Take a look here

You will find links to various recovery options as well as a fastboot guide to flash the image
Pretty much just download appropriate recovery and flash it like
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Well I can get the fastboot to recognize the phone, but whether I try to "fastboot flash" an "hboot x.img" or a "recovery x.img" I get
Code:
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Which appears to be due to the fact that no Cyanogen recovery is available for the vision-compatible builds!
I have no trouble getting that "recovery screen" I showed in the previous message, but I don't understand how to get anything to actually recover.
So I have this kernel (AndromadusMod) that I want to install, but I'm so confused...

So right now you do have security flags removed but still a stock bootloader so you can't flash with fastboot
...I'm having troubles with links right now (using an experimental version of xda app) so I'm going to just paste in a quote from an old thread where I was helping someone in a similar situation
demkantor said:
um, md5sum is just well a sum, it is a unique algorithm to make sure the file downloaded matches (complete/ no corruption)
you can flash just the Hboot, but it also makes no difference if you were to flash the same firmware over the same firmware. so you don't need to bother extracting anything. ill post when I get home,
~make nandroid in recovery
~download
~check md5sum
~name PC10IMG.zip
~put on SDcard
~boot to Hboot
~let it run, it will reboot halfway (needs to cycle emmc)
~let it finish
~reboot to recovery (via adb)
~reformat all in recovery
~remove PC10IMG.zip from SD
~restore nandroid and reboot to OS
EDIT:
DROPBOX LINK ill upload to op when i get a minute but for know here is this
md5 for g2:
md5 for dz:
*thanks again to nipqer for pointing out my obvious mistakes creating these!
EDIT:
Not sure if i made this clear earlier - flashing firmware using any method is potentially
dangerous. Although very unlikely if you follow these steps I'm still throwing out the waring.
If at all possible it is still best to use fastboot to flash these as an error will be given
to you and you can fix your issue before you reboot and make things permanent.
The above is also dangerous without having true radio s-off, if you are not sure
if you have true s-off - follow these steps:
download THIS COPY OF GFREE md5sum:
now unzip it and open a command where gfree is on computer - have phone plugged
in, debugging on and screen unlocked (after you type "su" you need to grant superuser permissions.)
Now type:
If this is your output, you are in good shape!
@CID: 11111111 means you have superCID (able to flash all software once locked out of)
@SIMLOCK= 00 means you're sim-unlocked (able to use any carrier's sim card)
@secu_flag: 0 this means your radio is S-OFF (This is the important info needed!)

Flash the custom PC10IMG.zip I made, the link is in that post #30
Do this like before, put on root of sdcard
When its done you will have an engineering bootloader and 4ext recovery
Then just be sure to remove it off SD in order to get into recovery to flash ROM of choice

That is a great image, and 4ext is a great recovery!
However after I reformatted and restored the AndromadusMod.zip the phone just boot cycles to the "htc" screen.
Attached is a current screenshot of the hboot System Info. Should I give up, or am I close?

You have the g2 engineering bootloader now, but the dz one is needed for most ROMs above ICS as it has a larger system partition, do the same thing you did but this time flash the dzPC10IMG.zip from the post I linked you, then ROM and gapps

I think there's something wrong with that dz bootloader: It only ever offers to update [SD ZIP]. I have to physically remove the sdcard and delete the PCIMG10.zip after it runs its install cycle in order to get into recovery; it's impossible to get it to startup in any other mode that allows sdcard access.
After I do delete the PCIMG10.zip, reformat all but sdcard, and install the ROM (which appears to "succeed" suspiciously quickly) I get the boot loop problem again and have to pull the battery to get back into hboot....

Sounds like a bad download, check the md5sum to make sure its good

Yes, MD5 matches that given in the post.

Maybe I misunderstood, so when when flashing the PC10IMG.zip through bootloader it works and changes your bootloader and then you remove the file off sdcard and you are able to get to recovery?
If that all is working then you are in good shape, try another ROM/gapps
Try a gingerbread ROM just to make sure you can get up and running.

Correct. So I just re-wiped and installed this Gingerbread kernel: http://elite-force.eu/elitemod/MOD_EliteKernel_120319.zip
It took a "reasonable" amount of time for 4ext to install that one.
But now it's doing the same boot cycling as before, though much faster than on the JellyBean kernel I previously tried ?
Is there a known stable kernel I should be trying? Maybe I'm as bad at choosing kernels as I am at choosing women....

Haha,
Well a kernel alone won't help, you will need a kernel and a ROM (and probably gapps too)
Try cyanX, its a ROM I put together a few years back, its gingerbread based but has a lot of ICS and jb features back ported to it
Once we know that is working then move on to newer ones

Ah ha: that does help! Putting a JB ROM on did the trick. For some reason in all my reading I didn't get the message that the ROM isn't part of the kernel....
Thank you for all your help!
