it is not to hard, Download the zip I included which will have ADB, fastboot and drivers.
First step is to extract the files onto the C drive to make it easy.
Next is to plug your phone in and boot into HBOOT, then make sure it is in FASTBOOT. Now your computer should look for the drivers, if it has a hard time finding them, go to Device manger (go to start and type device manger), find your phone, you should see a yellow triangle with a exclamation with it. Tell it to search the folder that is named Android USB driver.
Also put the IMG file of the recovery into the Android ADB and Fastboot folder
Once that is done go into cmd
then type cd: C:/Android ADB and Fastboot
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
then type fastboot reboot
That should be it, I hope I remembered everything , if you need help, send me a message
I'll give it a try when I'm back home. Thanks to both of you

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?

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help. So I am stuck on the bootloop screen on CM10. I have searched and researched but so far to no avail.
Here's what I have so far:
My One X is the international version and I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Instead of doing the usual route of downloading a rom on my PC, I tried it through the phone via an app on play called CM downlander.
I then attempted to install from SD as usual.
I am unable to mount the phone/sd via clockwork as the pc seems to not see the phone.
I have looked all over the web and the only thing I can find is something called android debugging bridge? This looks like it could be helpful.
Although I am a complete android geek, I am relatively new to custom android, I have run CM successfully on a GSII but that is it so if anyone can help, please could you do it newbie friendly? Thanks!
u have not flashed the kernel it seems.to mount sdcard,try rebooting recovery and then mount sdcard. just now this happened 2 me.
Sent from my One V
Which recovery do you have ? Is it cwm 5.8.4.0 ? If not ..... upgrade the recovery, it has the option to mount sd card as USB diskdrive.....and second, i doubt that you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ? It's needed because we can not flash complete roms with recovery because we are s-on ! You have to flash the kernel separately
First of all, download the cm10 zip from official source: get.cm/?device=endeavoru
Do you get an error if you try to mount in cwm?
Sent from my HTC One X
Sorry, being sent out by the missus! Will be back on tonight.
Hi guys, thanks for your replies earlier. In response:
I have downloaded a copy of cm10 on my pc. Unfortunately TToivanen I am unable to mount in cwm. I'm using 5.8.2.7.
I am almost certain you guys are correct, I vaguely remember flashing the kernel for my old GSII but didn't touch the kernel this time.
Now....how the hell do I do get out of this one!?
By the way, forgot to add. when I boot up I just get stuck in cm bootloop.
Easy fix: download latest cwm here:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Then flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Then mounting usb should work.
And don't forget to extract the boot.img and flash it as well.

Ok, I'm going to sound totally newbie now, I'm not sure how to do these things that you have suggested. Do I download to my pc then use a command line or something to get it to my phone?
Ok, just researching fastboot for windows now...
Alright, dl these fastboot files:
http://www.mediafire.com/?q2540u4g3v6qqd7
Extract and put the recovery img I linked in the fastboot folder.
Then hold shift and right click anywhere in that folder and select open command prompt here.
Hold power and volumedown to get to fastboot modeand connect usb cable to pc, on phone screen you should see fastboot usb.
Then execute the command I posted while ago.
Finally, on your phone menu, select hboot -> recovery.
Usb mounting should work now.
Flash rom and proceed to next step.
Installing kernel:
Extract boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Open fastboot command prompt as described earlier and type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
followed by
Code:
fastboot erase cache

Thanks. Just to top this off. I think my battery has died because it'll no longer switch on. I'm sure it was fully charged before I started. I know I saw a thread about that so will check it now.
Yeah, the one with the batch file.
Let it run at least overnight.
I'm off to bed and will check back tomorrow. :thumbup:

Thanks TToivanen. LED is just slowly flashing red so will check it in the morning. Fingers crossed I can sort this tomorrow.

wow.....after this all, we have another expert on the team
Hi all, I'm off to a wedding today (on a Monday, I know) so won't be able to do anything to the phone today. I will be back on tomorrow though with a raging hangover. I will say though that I followed your instructions and got stuck at initiating the command. I'm not at the pc but it said something wasn't found. I'll post the full error message tomorrow.
Evening fellow geeks! Can I just say thanks for your replies so far. It's not like you are paid to do this so I just want to say that I appreciate your help.
I'm hoping that by the time I go to bed tonight I will have a working phone, that's my hope anyway.
I'm going to re-follow TToivanen's advice now and post the error message I am getting. Will post in a few minutes.
Ok, so I downloaded fast boot and the clockwork recovery file. Extracted fastboot and copied clockwork into it. Opened a command screen from fastboot, then entered the fastboot screen on my phone and attached usb.
This is where I think I am getting stuck/going wrong, I pasted fastboot flash recovery filename.img into the and screen and get the following:
C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery filename.img
error: cannot load 'filename.img'
C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>

Download this. And paste to fastboot folder.
The file name in this case is: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Or you can change the name to whatever easier to type.

Cheers TToivanen. That is the one I have in the fastboot folder. For some reason though, I keep getting the same error when trying to execute the code.
today I got my new One X.
I tried to unlock the bootloader and flash a CWM Recovery which worked brilliantly thanks to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592922
then I recognised it's not rooted yet so I first tried too root with SuperSU from Google Play Store. Didn't work for me so I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671 for the mac with transferring the files over the terminal. After I tried to reboot I'm stuck right now on the "hTC quietly brilliant" screen.
I need help to recover my HOX pleeeeeease!!!!
So you don't have a backup do you?
It said in the thread that the insecure boot method only works on some super old software versions, and now as a result, you have an incorrect boot.img on your device.
Please confirm that you have the stock ROM.
Do following fastboot command:
"fastboot getvar version-main"
And post result here.

I have no backup. So how do I root with a MacBook on Android 4.1.1?
result: version-main: 3.14.401.31
You need to reflash the stock boot.img.
Since you have no backup you could try to grab it from a backup made by someone else.
Download the stock nandroid backup for your main version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Once you have downloaded it, you have to scavenge the boot.img.
Put it to the same folder on your mac where you have the fastboot files.
Then, with your phone connected in fastboot mode, flash it by typing:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Followed by "fastboot erase cache"
Once you can boot your phone I will give further instructions regarding rooting.

Connect usb cable and in recovery: mounts and storage -> mount usb storage.
Why not do it while booted in os?

in booted OS I don't see an external drive which is normally shown when device is connected via USB. Don't know whats the deal with a Mac OS and hTC phones
You can push it via adb: adb push sourcepath /sdcard/
Insert the path of the downloaded zip to sourcepath.
If you can't push it just go to this thread on your phone and download it directly.

I do not have the rom installed whipe date was given not know what to do! only is the screen fastboot, HBoot, Reboot
First, open the rom zip file in your pc, you will find a file called "boot.img". Extract it to your fastboot folder.
Now from the start menu, type "cmd", and using the commands "cd.." and "cd (folder name)" find the folder with the tools.
Restart your phone with power while pressing vol-, enter fastboot. Connect it to your pc via USB.
Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img", it will push an flash the file.
Type "fastboot erase cache"
Now if you are using CWM recovery it's possible to mount your SD, do it and put the rom zip file on the phone internal memory.
Now enter recovery, wipe dalvik and install zip from SD card, find the rom zip and choose it. It will install, reboot and voila!

You must flash the boot.img than it should work i think..means it's not enough to flash the Rom...you will find it in the Rom.zip ..open it with winrar..use now a tool to flash the file..or open a terminal ..you must have the sdk installed..go to the directory and than to tools and type fastboot flash boot boot.img..your phone must be in fastboot mode...

Don't let the battery to die, just hold down power for 10 seconds and it will go off. Now hold vol- and power until you enter bootloader mode. From there select fastboot and follow the previous instructions.
