OMG Please Help me! - HTC One X

Ok I think I've actually broken my One X.
I was trying to put a default ROM back onto the system, I had my phone plugged into my PC, and "ran Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X"
STUPIDLY I deleted a couple of files off the SD card in Windows Explorer, and now I cant get into recovery mode for ClockwordMod Recovery (as I'm assuming like an idiot I deleted it somehow)
Literally if I boot the phone it won't go past the HTC welcome screen.
I apologise profusely if this is already covered elsewhere - but I am an absolute noob and do not understand much of the jargon. I shouldn't have messed in the first place, I could cry

1. Fastboot and erase the cache, that will then allow you back into the recovery.
2. Fastboot the boot.img to your phone, as S-OFF won't allow the clockwork to flash it.
3. Don't panic. You can always recover the phone through Fastboot.
I should know, i was once in your position.

thanks for the reply,
I read about erasing the cache, but I have no idea how.
the guide just says type it into your pc
sorry again for being thick!

No problem.
Do you have fastboot open on your pc? if so.
Type : fastboot erase cache
Then download the Boot.img from ARHD, and follow the instructions.
Mike has included a .bat file that will automatically erase the cache and flash the boot image. I suggest going on to his forum and running the file.

I know I have downloaded it (I'm so lost) but the file in my downloads isn't something that opens a program?
Thanks a bunch!

It should have a .bat named install-boot, it shouldn't run a program, but open in CMD with options displayed on what to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

ok I don't have a file called install-boot, just adb, fastboot and a few .dll files. both exe files flash cmd but it doesnt remain open.
any chance you can point me in the direction of this software as it would appear i have the wrong thing!

It seems like we need to get back to basics a bit. Are you familiar with MS-DOS? Those programs are not meant to be run from windows by clicking on them. They are run with command lines typed in a DOS type window that is opened when you type "cmd" into your search box in windows.

sorry, confusing fastboot and flashboot I think,
I'm being told that I'm missing adbwinapi.dll - looking into it
I'm no genius but I'm not usually this bad, just so worried - got the phone 12 hours ago, naturally feeling sick!

ok, followed the steps with flashboot (ran the cache delete and install-boot)
still not let into recovery. it goes past the htc sense screen, all black with a mobile with green arrows in a circle (like a sync) which eventually changed to a triangle with '!' in it.
what am i missing?

You can't delete recovery through windows explorer for the record.

That's stock recovery it sounds like. Just relock your bootloader ( fastboot oem lock) then run an ruu. Then once booted you can start all over.

sorry noob alert again: how do i do this?

Sounds like it has the stock recovery on it. Download the Cwm recovery and you should have a file called recovery.img. Place this file in the adb platform-tools folder. Go to that location in cmd prompt then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or you can find on xda via search one x all in one kit which if you download and open then put your phone in fastboot mode via bootloader will allow you to flash Cwm recovery and should do it for you

int the adb platform-tools folder? again im very very sorry, but where is this?

When you downloaded adb did you download the exe or zip version. If exe download zip version then extract it place the contents on your c drive then when using cmd use the cd commands to get to the correct folder.

ok, I have managed to boot a recovery (i think) and can now get into CWM, only problem now, is that my PC no longer recognises my phone in order for me to put any ROM files onto the SD card so that it can load them?

Yes Cwm does not support sd mount atm. I think you will need to refer to the post by someone saying relock bootloader and flash ruu. You will need to find and download the ruu that matches your device. ie network your on and country ur in. As I'm guessing you have deleted the rom image of the sd or nand backup?

How to flash CWM Recovery Touch on T-Mobile G2?

I've been trying for hours and I can't seem to figure it out. I googled counltess times and it seems like other phones get .zip files and the G2 gets a .img file. I'm not exactly a noob, but not exactly an expert so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
If you have the eng hboot you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Or you can flash it from inside ROM Manager. Not sure what sort of zip you have, if that's one that can be flashed from hboot or not.

I've tried the fastboot flash command it doesnt work
and its not a zip file its just .img
Ok so you don't have eng hboot.
Do you have the ROM Manager app installed ? Is there not an option to flash it from there ? Mine does, but I'm not sure if this is only an option for the paid version of ROM Manager.

Push the file to your sdcard
Then rename it to recovery.img so its easier
Go into your terminal in your phone and do this
Code:

reboot recovery
That's it and your done

I actually tried using the ".zip" twice (once from Rom Manager and once directly from recovery). Every time I seems to go well and after install I land in touch recovery environment and think yes this really worked... So then I reboot to recovery and guess what... I'm back in the oiriginal non touch version !!!

[Q]How to flash RUU

How to flash Ruu ?? I have S-off rooted using infra ROM an overclocked I want to update my radio firmware. Bcoz getting poor battery can any one give me a guide plss..
thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App
Just run the exe file.............connect you phone and follow the instructions.......
Is it that hard that you had to ask???
It's not that simple. Here's what you need to do:
Charge the battery above 50%.
Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot the phone into bootloader and select Fastboot using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Run the RUU from Windows and follow the wizard. You may have to extract and re-flash the stock recovery from the RUU for it to work, I don't remember.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash cwm recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
No its not the thing of hard I'm a bit scared to try the attempt.bcoz my one friends phone got bricked while trying this I don knw wat wrong step he did so I don WAN my phone to get brick like tat simple.
Q. I jus WAN a proper guide guys could any one help
Thanks for reply friends

But one doubt mine is already unlocked bootloader. Aft flashing it ill get locked r wat ??
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure what you are saying. If you unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev then you must relock it before flashing. Either way it will be locked after.
how do I relock the boot loader, I've gone to terminal emulater typed in fastboot oem lock but it comes up with fastboot not found.
thanks.

Boot the phone into HBOOT, select FASTBOOT with the volume rocker and press the power button. It will turn red. Then plug it into your computer with the USB cable and it will say FASTBOOT USB.
Open a command prompt and type in the command.

OK i did that and it now says RELOCKED Yay!
But when i try to install the RUU update it gets halfway through and says failed
is this because i have CWM and root still going ?
Do i need to clear Root, Remove CWM as well as relocking the bootloader ?
im sorry to keep mithering you
OK, you have to revert to the stock recovery. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img. Flash it from FASTBOOT USB (like before) using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then re-run the RUU and it should finish.

[Q] back to stock recovery from clockworkmod but dont know stock recovery version

Hey guys I'm kinda new to this stuff and I'm kind of a retard just bear with me plzzz . okay so i have rooted my HOX (international version) and flashed clockworkmod recovery but I'm not planning to flash a custom ROM or anything (just want the minor perks of rooting). Thing is I'm desperately waiting for jellybean 4.1 OTA but to carry out the OTA i believe I'll need the stock recovery (I've read u can OTA without relocking the bootloader and simultaneously protect root on your phone correct me if I'm wrong) but i have no idea which stock recovery i had or where i can get one from now ( i currently have clockworkmod) plzzz help me out. thanksss.
P.S my software number is 2.17.707.3 running htc sense 4.1 and android version 4.0.4
P.P.S i dont need a ruu or anything if im already on stock ROM right?
P.P.P.S the method for carrying out OTA given in this link still works right i mean htc hasnt worked a work around for this or anything right. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670433

Find the ruu for your current version
Run it. When window opens, DONT click anything.
Open an explorer window and on the address bar, type %tmp% which will take you to your temp directory.
Sort it by date and find in one of the two newly created directories a file named rom.zip. Copy it to your desktop. Close ruu window.
Now Open rom.zip. You will see recovery . img file inside. Extract it to your fastboot directory. Where your fastboot.exe files are.
From a command prompt in that directory, when your phone is on type
Adb reboot-bootloader
Wait until phone loads bootloader. There select fastboot using vol keys and power button to enter.
When phone is in fastboot, from your pc command window type
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file".img
Fastboot erase cache
If you see success, you have your recovery.

In that state try typing fastboot devices
You should something like HTxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
If the response is blank then you may not have the correct drivers installed for your phone. There are a number of ways to get the drivers; one way is to install PDAnet http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
You don't even have to complete the whole install, just go until the driver is installed. In any case you can uninstall PDAnet and it will leave the drivers on your system.
When fastboot is finally able to recognize your phone then you can flash the boot.img by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img
(this assumes that boot.img is the actual name of the file, it should be unless you renamed it or downloaded it from somewhere)
is fastboot just a folder i create with the boot.img inside of it?

No, fastboot is a tool within the Android SDK. You used it when you unlocked your bootloader.

Not really. Seems the only thing your phone needed to boot was the boot.img. That would have been done in a couple minutes. As already said here: you simply need to put the android sdk on your c: drive, put the boot.img in that folder, go into bootloader and connect your device with your pc, it should say fastboot USB, open command prompt, go to the direction of your sdk folder and use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img. It should then boot.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.
