[Q] Stuck in recovery - HTC One X

hi, today i went ahead and tried to flash EternityProject kernel onto my phone. I kind of messed up and now when I boot my phone normally, it goes into recovery instead. I tried restoring a nandroid backup but it didn't seem to work. Desperately need some help here.

My guess: You have the wrong Kernel for your actual ROM. Wipe everything, reflash stock Kernel, fastboot erase cache, and flash a new image (not your Nandroidbackup)

Just in case anyone with the same problem stumbles over this thread
Thanks for the help
Anyways, here is how I fixed my phone.
I did a full wipe, and flashed the new test recovery which will allow me to put the a flashable rom zip into the sd card and tadaa

Hi I am really new to Android.
I just bought HTC One x (4) days ago.
When I received it, system update 1.29.xxxxxx is available for update.
But I didn't update it and I try to root it from the link http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/root-any-htc-one-x-windowsmaclinuxattinternationalone-click-method/.
It was successfully rooted and I can replaced a custom font.
I wanted to update to 1.29.xxxx and downloaded it. During the updating process, the phone stop at the HTC quietly brilliant screen for 3 to 4 hours.
So I try the method from xda wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...very_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash)
But till now I am stuck at that screen.
I don't have any backup.
Can somebody tell me in detail how to recover it please?
Thanks in advanced,

You need to flash the RUU to recover.
I believe yours is 1.28.707.10 - The RUU is http://bit.ly/IjzQwM
You need to :
1) flash stock-recovery.img
2) relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
3) run RUU

If you have CWM's latest recovery then you should be able to flash a different custom rom, boot the phone into recovery and mount USB storage, copy over the new rom, unmount storage and format the system, data, cache and davik cache and then install rom..... you will need to flash the boot.img for the rom from fastboot before it will boot.
If you instructions on going back to stock then look at my sig or look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735930&page=3
Edit: Upon doing a quick search it seams that RUU version isn't available yet, only way for you currently is to flash a custom rom.

Thnx for the reply mate, however i am not on a custom firmware..infact i just rooted my phone with one click rooting method and post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Since then..i've been trying many things, infact i also tried to flash the stock recovery...which happened successfully but sadly the phone did not boot. Man what to do?

You formatted the system partition, which is where all the files for your phone were located (so all the system files have been deleted..... you should have really taken a backup of the phone before doing anything to it); you need to flash the latest CWM recovery from HERE
and then download and install a custom ROM onto your phone as the RUU that you need is not yet available.

for first link: Thats only the "Over The Air" update file, you still need a working stock rom'd phone to flash it.
for second link: That should be fine to install onto your phone once you have the CWM Recovery flashed onto your phone, remember to also flash over the boot.img file before you try and boot the phone.... otherwise it just wont boot

[Q] Boot loop after stock recovery TWRP

Hi All,
Been having issues with my HTC One X for the past week now and haven't been able to solve it via google or searching this forum, so was hoping one of you kind people can assist a bit.
I do apologise if this issue has already been posted and I missed it, if you can link me I'll be eternally grateful.
Basically, had a few issues annoying me with my HTC so wanted to stick a custom ROM on it. Did some searching about, eventually got a plan together to unlock and root it. All went fine, unlocked it (S-On still) got TWRP recovery on it (Chose this as the ROM I was looking at claimed to be not compatible with CWR) and was booted back into my stock droid.
First thing I did after a successful boot was to go back into recovery and make a full backup (I may have not ticked the Cache and _android.secure)
Played about with the phone again a bit, getting some of the apps back on as it had been wiped, then made a second backup (This one I know I ticked all the boxes for)
Next I tried putting CleanROM on, but could get past the white HTC screen boot loop, after various reflashing the Boot.IMG and clearing cache, so fired up TWRP and restored back to my second backup. All back to normal.
Used the phone as normal for a day or so then I tried flashing another ROM (ViperX) same thing as CleanROM (White HTC screen boot loop) and then went on to try Team Baked's ROM. Managed to get this working successfully, however the ROM was not to my liking and decided to go back to my stock backup. Here's where the issue started.
Now, when restoring the backup the phone boots as far as displaying my background and the status bar at the top, however I cannot pull the status bar down and the ring to unlock the phone with doesn't appear. It sits here for a few second and then reboots. Boot loop.
I've tried clearing cache, restoring various different ways and restoring the boot.img (though I'm not sure I have the right one) but nothing works.
The last variation I tried for restoring involved:
1. Clearing the phone via TWRP (System Restore/Clear Cache/Clear Davik/Clear System/Clear SD Card (heard this can cause issues)/Clearing Android.Secure in that order)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Repeat step 1 (in case of locked files)
4. Reboot into Recovery
5. full restore (With MD5 check enable)
6. Clear Cache and Dalvik (Tried with just cache, also done Fastboot clear cache in another attempt)
7. Attempt to boot into OS.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if I have the right boot.IMG for my phone Model/kernal/other, to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the requirements. The details of my phone I've collected so far are:
Getvar version-main (Not sure if this is kernal or what) = 2.17.771.3
hBoot = 1.12.0000
radio = 2.1204.135.20H
CID = H3G_001
Basically, as far as I can tell from the masses of reading I've been doing, I won't be able to update to custom JB for a while so want to get back to my stock ICS and then OTA to JB when my carrier releases their version, then maybe sometime in the future when the ROM specific to my phone has been cracked consider switching to a custom.
on a final note, I've tried flashing both my backups, same result. I've also tried restoring the stock recovery and doing a system recovery with that. It appears to go through the motions (phone with green arrows? Also had the red exclamation mark, but only once of the 3 attempts) then reboots and it's still the same issue.
Thanks for reading through, any advice would be much appreciated. Used to love my phone but now can barely stand to look at it.
Cheers,
Sean
Ok, so I've now downloaded a different boot.img which should be for stock ics and after flashing that, then flashing stock recovery and doing a system restore via bootloader I will 50% of the time get the lock screen and when I unlock it I see the white HTC screen of the initial setup, then it sticks there a while and reboots. It also reboots after left at the lock screen.
To me this seems like it's doing a check or looking for a certain piece of software/file that's missing but is required to finish the start-up process. Anyone any ideas?
Even if someone can point me in the right direction for an RRU for my phone as football's RRU's seem to be the only one that has the one I need but as of 5 days before all this happened the site they're hosted on doesn't allow 500+MB downloads for free members
Cheers,
Sean
**EDIT** Just done a full device wipe then restored only the SYSTEM partition and manually flashed the boot, then when I restarted it sat on the white HTC on the device setup but eventually loaded up, allowed me to complete the device setup and then loaded into the OS. All seemed fine aside from the phone being stuck in turning off airplane mode. Rebooted it to see if that would clear it up and now I'm back to bootloops before the lock screen appears (I just get my background and status bar)
So you have a nandroid backup ! Then do this
Wipe all in recovery and i mean ALL except the sdcard obvious ! system,data,caches,dalvik cache...
Then boot back into fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img from the nandroid. Taken with TWRP the boot.img is called something like
Emmc.boot.win (or at least similar to this)
You can flash this file with fastboot command
Fastboot flash boot name of the boot.img (.win in this case)
Then enter the recovery and full wipe if you didn't o that already !
Restore the nandroid and boot it up :thumbup:
Should work
Perfect! Thanks so much man, I never even thought to flash the .wim, thought it had to be .img. Just successfully booted fully back into my old system. Hopefully will stay stable the next hour or so but looking good!
Thanks again,
Sean

Yes, the one came with Android_Fastboot_KIT_V12.x
And make sure you flash a 2.17 based ICS rom. You can not run the maximus JB rom on that 1.12 hboot !

Download a 2.17 ics Rom and copy it to the phone (mount the sdcard within the recovery as a usb disk)
Take the boot.img file from that rom and copy it to the tool you used to flash it
Then enter the recovery and wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard ofcourse !!! (Cache,dalvik cache, system and data)
Then install the Rom.zip

No problem mate ! :thumbup:
If you're looking for a Rom, I've got hboot 1.12 as well and tried a few ROMs and only ones I got working were:
Team Baked, based on jellybean though still works with 1.12. No Sense though, and a few things weren't to my liking (to name a couple,backlights on buttons didn't work and multitask button was switched back to menu button like in older devices)
SkyDragon, ics ROM with sense. Only had this a short while but appeared to be an exact stock ROM, everything working the way it should, and with a few added extra improvements.
Good luck

Yes.
Copy the boot.img from the backup to your PC (you can mount SD card as USB from TWRP), flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And restore backup from TWRP.
Yeah, if you follow Mr hofs 1st post on the 1st page he describes all the steps required to restore. Worked perfectly for me

Thanks alot, got it back as it was before.
Need to clear a doubt; will I be able to update my device with the OTA, as my device is unlocked, S-ON & TWRP installed?
I hope so, I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've been reading, it should still be possible as long as you put back the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.
This website offers links to download the stock recovery
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/
As for relocking the bootloader, I think the process is to run this command whilst in Fast Boot USB mode
fastboot oem lock
After it's run there should be a purple "RELOCKED" at the top of your bootloader menu.
Remember to flash the recovery BEFORE you relock the bootloader
You do not have to lock the bootloader, just the stock recovery is needed ....
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery
Here is the 2.17 based stock recovery for those who needs it

[Q] htc one x rebooting

please help me! I tried to flash a new rom and after doing the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command it keeps restarting. The phone is booting to the lock screen and i can only see the wallpaper, and after 2 seconds it restarts.
Details please. What ROM did you flash and what ROM did you come from? What guide or method did you follow to install the new ROM? What backups do you have available? If none, then what is you CID and Mainver number to see someone has provided a nanadroid backup for you to use.

P.S. i tried to do nandroid restore, and a factory reset but it won't help
It could be because of incompatibility with the current system and/or userdata
Did you:
1) flash the right system.img for this boot.img. it should be provided with the ROM
2) do a factory reset / erase userdata
To install system you do:
Fastboot flash system system.img
To erase userdata:
Fastboot erase userdata
You can also send me the result of the logcat untill the device reboots if adb debugging is enabled
Can you specify also which ROM are you using

Verify djodjoni's suggestions and instructions. Post what you've learned.
I thought I recognized your username. You've posted recently. hboot 1.36 but ICS rom loaded, so you are looking for a jellybean rom that works with your new Hboot that some dodgy repair shop loaded. I take it you've opted for ViperX. Is this right?

[Q] HTC One V Stuck at RECOVERY MODE screen

Hi! I tried flashing my HTC ONE V (GSM) with Pacman ROM available on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....8770.
I started from the very beginning of this process and here is what I did :
1. Unlocked my bootloader using HTCDEV site. ---- WORKED WELL.
2. Installed ClockWordMod recovery - touch version. ----- WORKED WELL.
3. Downloaded Pacman ROM from above link posted on XDA developers only.
4. Downloaded GAPPS for 4.2.x from the link available on the same link above.
5. Fastboot flashed my phone with BOOT.img file available with Pacman ROM ZIP file. ---- WORKED WELL.
6. Copied both the above ZIP files to my SD card.
7. Restarted my phone in Bootloader mode; went for RECOVERY mode from there.
8. CWM Recovery Screen comes up - v5.8.3.1
9. WIPE Data/Factory Reset ---- WORKED WELL.
10. Wipe Cache Partition ---- WORKED WELL.
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache ---- WORKED WELL.
12. Install ZIP from SDCARD.
13. Chose respetive Pacman ROM ZIP file & INSTALLED. ---- WORKED WELL.
14. Rebooted phone.
15. Installed GAPPS ZIP file in similar manner. ---- WORKED WELL.
16. Rebooted phone and still stuck on same RECOVERY MODE screen stating that "This build is for developers only....".
I followed all instructions and applied them in correct order but my phone is now stuck completely.
I tried restoring my backed up ROM (I did made a Nandriod backup of my ROM before starting this process!) but after successful install when it reboots it lands on the same screen and get stuck again..painful!
I even tried FACTORY RESET option with HTC Bootloader..no benefit from that even!
So, I can sense this is a BIG trouble now! Right?? Can somebody please help me in this?
Thanks in anticipation guys!
Cam you get your phone in fastboot mode? Maybe you can than use an official HTC RUU. To let your phone start again.
Then you can try to install pacman rom, see if the problem still comes up

Hey!
Yes I am able to Fastboot my phone and I tried installing the HTC RUU as well from the link you provided but still it stucks to the same screen and keeps on restarting every 10-12 sec.
The problem still persists, badly!
Please help..I really don want to pay extra bucks to service center for unbricking my phone.
i think you should flash a kernel, which compatible with stock before you can restore back stock rom.

Are you able to boot into boot loader mode..?? If yes from there move to recovery wipe everything and flash another ROM and kernel..+ if you want to move back to stock don't try using RUU method search for a stock ROM backup that has the same hboot and radio version as your phone...(if u are able to bootloader mode,there are 99% chances that you'll recover your phone by yourself..)
Good luck...

[Q] can't boot into CM , can't update bootloader

I've been using viperX for about 9 months now, and today i wanted to upgrade to CM 10. so I downloaded the ROM and used ROM Manager (instead of bootloader) and it after CM was installed, it wouldn't boot. the flash screen was the only thing i saw for about 30 minutes.
then i googled for this situation and found out that most times the solution was to install CM via bootloader, so i tried to do so, and again the same thing happened.
next i thought i should update my bootloader. i was using CWM 2.x, i think it was 2.6.. can't really remember (it wasn't updated since around December 2012 when i switched to viperX). anyway, i tried to install TWRP, downloaded the latest version from their site and used the sdk tools that i already had on my computer (i updated it about a month ago) just as the instructions said. i got no error in the cmd, nor on the phone screen. i tried to get into recovery and got stuck on HTC logo.i tried also downloading the latest version of CWM and the result was the same.
now when I'm trying to boot into CM i get stuck on their logo, and when i try to boot into recovery i get stuck on HTC logo..i couldn't do factory reset either.
my phone is HTC one x (bought in Singapore)
HBOOT version is 1.36.0
any ideas where to go from here?
thanks in advance
You're in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL/at&t One X forum. I'll ask for this to be moved to the correct device forum for you.

Hi,
I assume your bootloader is unlocked, I had same problem when I originally tried to flash custom rom (soft bricked phone).
Start from scratch and place fastboot folder in root directory of an easily accesible drive (c and place CWM zip file, Version 5.8.4.0 (for one x) in that folder and use CMD prompt to flash CWM again, then boot into CWM recovery and mount phone as USB storage and hopefully you have backed up original software as Nandroid backup (copy to pc so you have a backup copy). From there you can place CM 10 zip file in root directory of phone and install from CWM after doing full wipe, and wipe cache (all through CWM). Youtube has some good videos (Cursed4Eva in particular) on flashing roms. You may also have to flash boot image or you may get stuck in bootloop.
Hope this helps.
