I installed the fatsys HBOOT and rebooted the phone and went in to 4ext recovery and it told that i need to wipe my cash and to format my partitions. When i did that i got stuck the formatting system. I rebooted the phone.. did that twice and not thing happen.
Now when I boot my phone and when 4ext loads there are no menus. so I'm stuck and I can install anything. please help

Does it boot into the os? Do you have 4EXT Recovery control?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

it does not boot to the OS.
comes to the boot loader...when i select recovery...4ext recovery loads but no menus

I have a same error..
I just wanted to install: Runnymede AIO V6.1.1 Special Edition beta Version with fatsys HBOOT. But after i updated my HBOOT, i cant see any menus in the 4ext system.. I cant reboot my system.. Kinda Bricked.. I also tried to install other HBOOTs, but isnt working..
what do you mean by 4EDXT recovery Control? I'm Just able to go into the Bootloader..

Recovery control is to 4EXT as rom manager is to ClockworkMod but only effective if you can boot into the os as it is an app. Does the hboot you have have fastboot command availability? If so grab a version of the recovery and fastboot flash it

What's fatsys HBOOT? And how did you install it ie nandroid backup, fastboot flash hboot, reboot-bootloader, erase and nandroid restore? That doesn't sound like good behaviour - never had anything like that changing HBOOTs (AlphaRev ones or custom using _thalamus' tool).
Can you boot into fastboot, and have you got a copy of recovery img on your PC? If yes fastboot flash recovery to phone and try going into recovery again. If not you might have to fastboot flash an AlphaRev table to sort out borked partitions - as i say i have no idea what fatsys HBOOT is or does.
Changing critical system stuff like nand partitions I'd stick with fastboot and flash known tables like AlphaRev ones after checking md5s.

Do you have sdk set up on your pc with fastboot and adb?

INT2SD
What is INT2SD?
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks. It mounts ext partition on your SD to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT (more info later on), allowing most of the vital parts of a ROM to stay on the system partition without the need to symlink half of it to the SD due to memory shortage.
For now, there is only one ROM here, but more will come! If you wish to see INT2SD in your favorite ROM or in your own ROM, please post here!

This is what INT2SD does..
So.. I am able to Connect my SD Card to the PC.. i updated my HBOOT to Stock and CM7 r2.. I have several Backups made with EXT4 Recovery..

i have my backup in several *.img files.. how can i flash them without using EXT4?
EDIT:
I guess i shall install Android SDK... which im doing now.. but after installing it.. i need assistance

Once you have sdk set up on your pc and a copy of a recovery.img on your pc it's easy from there as long as that hboot allows you to run fastboot commands.

No not your back-up image files, when you installed 4EXT Recovery Updater and used it to flash the 4EXT recovery did you set the option for save the 4EXT Recovery .img file to your SD card? This is the img file I meant, if you have a 4EXT recovery img you fastboot flash this with phone in fastboot mode - then you should be able to get into 4Ext recovery and restore one of your nandroids.
Can't upload a recovery img file for you at the moment but sure there must be one you could download perhaps from the 4EXT thread.
Edit - Ok looks like that HBOOT may have been created using thalamus custom tool, did you check the md5 before flashing it?
If you can get into fastboot and install the SDK on PC, in Windows cmd prompt check your device is recognised by typing 'fastboot devices' first, if it returns the serial no of your phone then fastboot is working ok.

One X stuck on "One X Beats Audio" Screen

I have a rooted One X, with Clockwork Mod and AHRD 6.0.0 Rom, I have a few mods (Rosie, 3-dot remover, status bar icon mods), and I haven't had a problem until tonight when I was playing with Font Installer, and I tried out a new font, and rebooted my phone, then my phone is stuck on the HTC One Beats Audio white screen, it's been about 20 minutes now, and I'm a bit nervous..

Yeah,you should do a nandroid backup because obviously it wont boot,and don't keep it on that logo to much or you will drain you'r battery.I've tryed an app that changes the fonts but also screwed up my phone so i had do to a restore.I don't know what app i can recomend that works so far.

Thing is, I don't have any nandroid backups to restore from, I formatted my memory card recently because of a memory loss problem and I haven't had a backup since.

You don't need a nandroid. Just get into boot loader and use ADB push to push any rom to your virtual SD card then you can install it through CWM recovery. Don't forget the boot.img as well.

When I 'adb device' on the PC, it says error: device not found?

Try this, you don't need to push anything, this command will open your sdcard in windows, put your rom.zip in, close the folder and flash through recovery.
In fastboot:
fastboot boot custom-recovery.img
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file

Ok sorry about that, yes I meant I booted the recovery, and adb shell'ed it and it still showed me no device found, something wrong with my adb?

Okay, thanks to everyone who helped, but in the end, I relocked bootloader, and installed stock rom RUU and decided to start everything from scratch phone is booted now and working again!

[Q] Help! No OS (deleted system), can't connect SD to PC

Hello,
I deleted the system and cache for installing another ROM.
But the ROM doesn't work (can't install it..), so my OS is deleted.
I can't connect the SD to my pc, because the memory is build-in.
How can I connet my SD to my pc, to put another .zip on it?
I don't know if it is allowed, but the one who can help me get 15 euro's (about 20 dollars) by Paypal.
It's urgent.
Greetings.

Assuming you are a one x user, and have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery, upgrade your recovery to cwm 5.8.4.0 with using the following command from your pc where fastboot files and cwm recovery.img files are
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Then boot into bootloader, go to hboot, select recovery. Once in there, go to mounts and storage. There you can mount your sdcard.
Clicking thanks button is more than enough.

I got into the same situation but my recovery was also wiped out and I've tried using ADB to push recovery image in and it says successful but when I try rebooting into recovery from hoot, it just went into the quietly brilliant screen. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

[Q] stuck in "quietly brilliant" after root with insecure

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.

And make a nandroid backup this time and keep it in a safe place

whats the most intelligent way to push the zip on the sdcard folder with a MacBook?

Connect usb cable and in recovery: mounts and storage -> mount usb storage.
Why not do it while booted in os?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

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.

Getting message "The recovery hasn't been configure!"

Hi,
I try to format my HTC DESIRE S but ends with error.
"The recovery hasn't been configure!"
Use 4EXT Recovery Control or the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater, which is available on www.4ext.net to setup the recovery and to unlock configurable features. Hint: check out recovery settings
I have downloaded in to sd card but its an application and I cannot install the app because im still in recovery mode and cannot access the phone like dialing etc.

What exactly r u trying to do? Flash a rom?

I wanted to format the phone and after format using "wipe|format" tools, I unable to boot my phone and the message prompted and saying "The recovery hasn't been configure!"

You can download a zip file with {4EXT Recovery}.img and flash it manually from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
4EXT Recovery Touch (Saga)
If you want more informations about 4EXT Recovery for HTC Desire S you can check this out.
If you have an older 4EXT Recovery installed try to delete the "4ext" folder from your sdcard.The recovery will recreate the settings folder.It may helps you with the error.

I have try to use "Fastboot" but couldn't connect even using htc sync and adb. Its totally cannot connect the phone to my computer. I have install the "recovery.img" file in sdcard and run it, and getting :
" this zip isn't meant to be flashed in recovery! It might be a bootloader flashable zip or nota flashable zip at all. Installation aborted."
