ClockworkMod recovery and HTC One X

Right, I've had a look around the forum a bit now for help with my issue but decided it's time to post my own thread.
I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back installed clockwork recovery and CM 9. I now want to upgrade to the latest version of CM but my recovery won't boot up...
I've tried downloading the CWM manager to my phone and re flashing from there and tried flashing other recovers and yet it still tried Clock work mod flashes on and immediately off and my phone reboots...
Can anyone lend me their knowledge?
Thanks.

Put recovery.img in the fastboot folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open dosprompt ( cmd prompt )
Go to fastboot folder
Type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
And then enter recovery
I suggest you flash the latest cmw recovery 5.8.4.0
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

Currently at work so will try this when i get back home.
Although, im sure this is the process i followed when trying to fix the problem before posting this thread.
Will update.

i have the htc AT&T and everytime i load clockworkmod it just boots to the htc logo and stays there
twrp will take but it wont work right, "Failed to mount cache"

If its getting messy. Download the recovery and flash it via the htc one x toolkit in dev section. No commands just clicking LOL.
You put the zip into the recovery folder.connect yoir phone then just flash recovery. Personally twrp recovery works better. More options..

Twrp is failing too, I even locked the bootloader ran ruu then unlocked and rooted, Twrp let me root but won't install another rom. Fails to mount cache.
I guess at least I have root though

[Q] I did a really stupid thing (Formatted HTC One X ... completely)

So yeah ... Hi
Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.
When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.
Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.
I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.
Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard

How can I do that if I can not get it onto my phone?
Because there is absolutely nothing there no rom nothing except clockwork mod 5.8.2.7 and the bootloader.

Download it from clockworkmods official site. In bootloader's fastboot mode, flash it using
"fastboot flash recovery filename.zip"

Can you give me a little bit more information about how to do this and what to watch out for. Like how much percent of my battery do I still need to have, stuff like that.
Thanks in advance

Just to clear up any misreads or anything, the original HTC sense is also no longer available.

You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.
Good luck

Download this recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)
Flash it with fastboot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"
Should do it !

Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?

Hboot version?

2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation

hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong?

That only applies to Sense ROMs.
On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.
It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version.

Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.
I am not a rom developer, but feel free to ask whatever you want.

Ok guys, thanks for all the awesome advice.
At the moment I am able to connect to my pc and able so that issieu has already been fixed
But yeah I'm stuck at the HTC boot up screen and I used to be stuck at a bootloop of CM10 before I flashed boot.img
I hope you guys know a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

I may have just flashed my boot with recovery, now what?

So I accidently mis-read a post a fellow XDA member posted and flashed my boot with the recovery.img before I was able to make a backup of my boot.img. So what can I do now? Phone hangs at HTC intor logo, however I can still flash and enter BOOTLOADER.
Would appreciate the help chaps...

Fastboot getvar version-main
Go to fastboot and type that, post outcome. From there on we can find the right RUU for you. Once you have the right ruu you relock the bootloader with
Fastboot oem lock
Then you plug in your device and run the RUU as administrator. First get the version main and don't do anything you can't undo! With an ruu u can get full stock back
If you want to run a custom rom anyway you might as well download one and flash it away and flash the boot that comes with it. I understand if you want to revert back to stock first though, your call

Ok, downloaded the Viper ROM. Placed the .zip on the storage device in a folder named ROM. Extracted boot.img to Android folder, rebooted into Fastboot and flashed the boot.img. Now have cleared all caches and have initiated Viper install, however it's been at 0.00% for 15 minutes and my battery is draining fast! help help, don't want it to switch off while installing.
Also, I wiped the sd card in the Philz recovery - was this a bad idea?

Did you do a full wipe in the aroma installer? If it stays stuck wipe again and install zip from sd card again (viper zip)

Turn off, plugin make sure the zip is still on your phone if not copy again. Unplug phone before flashing and flash zip from sd card again. Just copy the Rom in the internal storage not in a folder, this could cause problems
Don't worry about battery life it usually charges in recovery and if not there are plenty scripts out there to charge it anyway. The thing to do in these kind of situations is stay calm tomorrow I have time to find the right ruu for you if you still want to return back to stock.

Yes you can do that but you can do a full wipe within the installer as well I recommend doing that. Remember to unplug phone while flashing!! I once had problems with my sensation cause I left the usb in..

For some reason I can't get the phone to connect the storage to the PC, tried mounting in recovery but no joy....?

You did install all the drivers? So you lost the zip on the storage well that's no biggie, sometimes all I had to do was close htc sync and plug it in again to connect. Try accessing storage when the phone is fully turned on. Do you have usb debugging on?

Hate to say it, but I just repeatedly troll spammed the mount/unmount option in recovery while plugging and unplugging the USB cable - Seems to have done the trick. Copying fresh Viper .zip over. Fresh flash of recovery and fresh flash of Viper boot.img.
Upwards and onwards...
Fingers crossed, lol
There's an option in recovery to wipe everything in preparation for new ROM installation, should I do that?
P.s. thankyou for helping me me on this appreciate it.

Yes do the wipe to be sure and also the wipe in the installer that's what I did. Haha that's okay, this bed I sleep on on my holiday is crap so I guess you're lucky . Tomorrow I can help you find the right ruu file for if you ever need to return it (warranty) no need flashing the recovery again btw, just zip and boot
You're more than welcome I needed help in the beginning as well, even soft bricked my phone before haha I think we've all been there
Also; don't get discouraged by all the features the viper Rom has, you'll find your way around them sooner or later.

Wanna know the best bit, my one x is second hand so no warranty to return on!! Hardcore, yippee-kai-yayyy! lol

That's great, tinker around with it all you want! It is really fun flashing different roms. Viper Rom even has OTA, over the air updates. You'd have to read the thread for that though. Once you get viper to work.. make a backup!! Also copy that backup folder to your dekstop so you don't lose it and cause you need the boot.img if you ever want to restore

You are getting there my friend! Read their thread carefully though.

HTC ONE X [Please Help]

I'll prequel all of this by stating that I am a complete noob to the Android. After reading the stickies to this forum (correct me if I'm wrong), flashing the device sounds promising, but I don't know if that solution is even applicable to my problem. I'm worried I've completely bricked my HTC One X. Any help would be greatly appreciated and here's everything I can tell you about the situation.
The phone is an HTC One X Endeavor. When turned on, it shows the boot screen (HTC-quietly brilliant). Holding the power and the down volume buttons reveals the bootloader menu. The phone is unlocked and the problem occurred after an attempt to root the device. When I plug it into my computer I hear the sound that signals I've connected a new device, but under My Computer it brings up a CD drive, which can't be browsed.
If I pull up the bootloader menu while it is plugged into my laptop, this text comes up on the screen briefly:
checking sd card update
sd checking
failed to open usb master mode
loading pj46img.zip
failed to open usb master mode
please plug off usb
After running through that it just goes to HBOOT. I can still access FASTBOOT and all that, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to revive my HTC?
Sorry for the noobishness, I've been on an iPhone for the last few years and have only had my HTC for a couple of weeks (love, love Android and never looking back). So I'm really hoping there's a way to recovery my beloved HTC.

Always the case, eh? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll give this a try and come back with the (hopefully successful) results.

When I try to install the HTCDriver.exe nothing happens when I click on the .exe and I have tried this on two separate laptops, one on Windows XP and the other running Windows 7. I also sought out and tried installing HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe to the same results. When I click on it, the hourglass appears for a moment then disappears. I've tried running both as Administrator and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I've done this. HTC Sync Manager was already installed so I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. This solved the problem. I was able to flash over TWRP and now I am on the screen that lists Install, Backup, Wipe, Restore, etc. BUT my touch screen isn't working and I can't select any of the options. Also tried the volume buttons on the off chance, but that doesn't work either. Grr! Seems to be one problem after another.
~edit~ I tried flashing clockwork over and it says that it can't load /Recoveries/CWM.img and I also should have mentioned sooner that the three buttons at the bottom of my screen do not work. Hoping this doesn't effect the process.

I've flashed Philz Touch Recovery using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
Now when I boot my phone it goes to Philz Touch Recovery. I made a back up just in case. I tried recovering and it just boots back to Philz after turning it off and back on so I'm assuming I'm missing a step here. Using Automated Fastboot I selected "install boot.img" to flash over Philz and then I installed CWM also using the same program. I can access CWM by launching RECOVERY in HBOOT, but uh I am kind of at a loss for what to do next. I think the next step would be to get a stock rom and flash that over, but before I do that I would like to be certain it isn't going to fudge up the phone even more.
Also, thank you all for your assistance and patience! :victory:
~edit~ I was able to install SuperSU.zip if that makes any difference, but again when I turn on the phone it goes straight to Philz and I can access CWM in recovery.

[Q] can access bootloader, but there's a problem.

so, someone is selling a bricked or possibly soft bricked phone, the dude said that he was trying to unroot it and some how while he was s-on he ended up deleting the os. he says it boots to the bootloader and everything and he says that while he tries to sideload something it fails... is the phone bricked for good? or there's hope?

Collect some more answers prior to buying. But I would say as long as the display comes up and bootloader shows there is hope.
Fails while sideloading sometimes doesn't mean anything, as he has to sideload a ROM.zip while a backup would fail.

I just wanted to say that maybe I'm wrong and some others should confirm what I'm saying .
But from what I learned you could re-flash TWRP in this state and first flash a custom ROM such as ViperOne using adb sideload to get it up and running. From this point one could then revert to stock using the correct backup.
Would be interesting if the
fastboot getvar all
command comes up with the version-main and which cid and mid this One M8 has.

Ask him to buy a sdcard and put a ROM.zip on it then put it in his M8.
Then boot to recovery to install ROM (he deleted his OS so I believe the custom recovery still there)

I'm gonna ask him if he can get into the recovery and see if he has a custom one. Because if he does I'm sure I could just put a SD in there and get a nice m8 for about 220.
Edit: he says he doesn't think so and supposedly tried installing one and wouldn't work.

Ask him whether he installed a GPE ROM before ... I've seen many have problem when trying to unroot or back to Sense from a GPE.
Get the fastboot getvar all info from him. If his device is on bootloader/fastboot then he should be able to run this command. If he can have this info, then it just a soft brick.
Gotta go now ...

He doesn't know how to do "fastboot getvar all" then how can he said he was unable to install a recovery ?
I still believe, nothing is wrong with his M8, other than OS was deleted with a custom recovery ... a simple fix by placing a ROM.zip on external sdcard will fix it.
Can he get a screenshot/a pic of the bootloader ?

he says a friend is the one that helped him with all that, i think what im going to do is drive up there with a laptop and try to see if i can get the command through. so as long as i get fastboot getvar all i should be good to go.
by the sounds of it, he doesnt have a custom recovery, he says they tried installing it and failed, also he said something about uploading a rom (sideload i think?) and also failed. well see when i get my hands on it probably this Monday.

That maybe the best. Get a look on it yourself. I don't think there's something wrong with it too.
Just a little bit work to be done to set it uo again.
