Need urgent help please

I tried flashing a theme using the same .zip of a rom for the One X so what I did was I deleted everything and kept the system and META-INF and now I get stuck at the HTC htc quietly brilliant..Luckily I have made a backup through recovery but whenever I go to recovery it just takes me back to the htc quietly brilliant screen. My computer recognizes the phone and everything and the fastboot commands. I tried reflashing recovery it says successfully but it didn't do anything, I still get stuck. I don't really know what to do afterwards. Can someone be so kind and help this poor guy out? Thank you.

If you can go to fastboot mode.
In fastboot mode, try "fastboot erase cache"

Well dt worry relax first..i too had this issue....u wanna boot into recovery thats what u want buddy... keep holding the vol down n power key and dt release it till u finally bump into fastboot screen from there select recovery... u might fail a bit...but dt loose hope coz recovery as of now is little bumpy...dt worry ur fone is safe

Thanks for the replies guys..I relocked and then unlocked the bootloader and reflashed recovery. It deleted my backup. Now my phone has no rom to boot. I tried running the ruu.exe but it says it won't recognize my phone. Everythime I plug my phone on my computer my phone lights up and my computer makes a beep noise

Is there any other way to run/install the ruu.exe? It says I need to have my device connected and it already is

Are you already in the fastboot folder with the RUU?
For detailed instruction for unbricking or reverting to stock, there's a thread for that in devs section.

thanks for the help..installing htc sync fixed my problem

Boot loop, no device found error, can't do anything

Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:
Thanks

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me

Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.

Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

Wow thank you so much! You are a life saver I didn't know something so simple I missed out on and when I had been getting instructions from devs to flash custom roms, they didn't even tell us to even flash boot.img or maybe I was thinking it was not important. Wow thank you so much! CM 10 Alpha 11 is working properly and now I learnt a lesson to flash boot.img.
On a final note, if I want my stock RUU radio back, do I need to get boot,img from anywhere or am I fine. What is boot.img anyways?
Again, Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.

[Q] HTC ONE X - Big problem. Might be unfixable...

Hey there guys,
I have rooted my HTC One X a while ago. Used a nice rom and it was all great. But then the HTC Sense 5 and android 4.2.2 update aired, so I wanted to update my phone. I put the new kernel and rom on my phone. Flashed both (something must have gone wrong, because I was in a boot loop). I am able to go to recovery. Somehow I lost all the files on my phone. So there is no rom left. I tried push a new rom on my phone using adb, but it was not successfull because it said: ''no device detected''. So atm I am stuck in recovery, without a rom, the mount usb function on my clockworkmod v5.8.2.7. doesn't work. I do not know if there is a solution. Hope you guys can help me out.
Please! haha!

Problem is solved. Had to flash a new recovery! Thanks to Mr Hofs and Stefan0vic!

Flash a new recovery, mount the sdcard in there as a usb disk and copy a rom to it.
Flash the boot.img of the rom, make a full wipe and install the rom.zip !

You don't have to.. you just put your recovery.img to the folder where your adb and fastboot directory is in your computer. Then hold shift+right click, select open a new command window here, then type:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img
Then you have a new recovery.. i hope this helps.

I know if this would work with anyone else, but sometimes, when my laptop doesn't recognize my phone while on fastboot or recovery, i'll unplug my phone, restart my laptop, reboot my phone to recovery, then most of the time my laptop will then recognize my phone.. i hope this would work for you too. But i really don't know what am i missing here.. but it's not that hard to give it a try.

I have to supercid htc one x. Can I update via OTA? (currently not updating)

Then you have s-off too. You should be able to flash the 4.18.401 firmware that upgrades the hboot to 1.72 and then install a sense 5 rom
But sense 5 roms also works on at least hboot 1.36 and higher. Lower then 1.36 dont know....not tested it.

it usually takes a minute or 2 for adb to kick in on the phone after connecting the phone to usb port.
1) check in device manager if your phone is detected Android USB device
2) after connecting your phone PC open command/cmd type adb kill-server
3) wait for about 2 minutes
4) type adb devices if it detects your phone then you can copy the rom zip with adb push xxx.zip /sdcard(ie if you are unable to mount as usb)

Yes it's a fully touch recovery. And the mount usb function is not working in 5.8.2.7 because it's just not supported.
That's why he needs a new one

Hee guys,
Thanks for all the help. My device is running again!

You need to flash a new recovery I think,
I think touch is supported with TWRP 2.5 or 2.6, or philz touch recovery.
I believe that if you flash the new TWRP over the old one, your backups are safe and touch is restored.

There are no RUU's ..
Best thing to do is to get your recovery working.
Are you sure that after you flashed the recovery you did:
fastboot erase cache
and are you sure your phone is international?

boot.img refers to the actual boot.img you have so you need the correct path to it.
or simple do:
fastboot flash boot (then drag on the boot.img file) 'return'

The first boot, does take some time....
Or go into recovery do a factory reset and reinstall rom, you can mount usb from recovery to if you need to copy the rom.zip onto the phone.

I just screwed my phone and can't figure it out.

HTC M8 AT&T
I have been dealing with this all morning and I am about to blow my brains out.
I thought i was running twrp but was instead running CWM.
Previously had Cyanogen Mod working fine on the phone no issue. Just wanted android instead
Tried to install Android Revolution from zip. Boom done. Reboot
Encryption. Try all 10 passwords i EVER use a couple hundred times it seems.
Fail. So i go back to CWM and try to reset phone to factoy. Gives me error "unknown volume for path /sd-ext/
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format
Data Wipe Complete
Boot up still asks for password try a hundred times again. Still nothing
Boot into fastboot to attempt to put TWRP on it. and no computer sees my phone in fastboot.
Any ideas how to save my phone?

Do you a nandroid backup? You can restore your phone and try one more time.
Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8

Go me the noob. No nandroid.
Any other idea..

Do you get the ding when connecting the phone and are running a command prompt from the folder with fastboot binary and required files?
What response does 'fastboot devices' give?

Adb won't respond unless you sideload or boot Into os.
Check your usb cable, make sure it's the original cable and you have fastboot drivers installed.

If you don't hear the ding then you either have a cable problem or a driver problem. Just re-install the drivers and check the cable

From what I seen you going to need to format the sd. You can see if twrp will format it but if that don't work try stock recovery and do a factory reset in bootloader.

As said if you get fastboot working you can flash a custom recovery or stock. You can then download a stock nandroid back up from the stock backups thread then flash the required backup from custom recovery.
