cant find device on usb fastboot? - HTC One X

hello everyone.
am trying to flash a new rom to my device. i followed all the intructions till the one that tells me to flash the boot.img through the usb fastboot.
but my pc cant recognize my one x?
when i choose "Hboot" it says "failed to checj usb master and something like that!

Did you install the HTC drivers on your computer? If you download and install the latest version of HTC Sync it should work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

and if you have the drivers already, try to disable your antivirus and/or firewall before plugging your device. (it happened to me, my antivirus had too strict settings, preventing HTC drivers to install correctly, and also preventing adb to see my device plugged.)

I did download the drivers but nothing happened.
just a one more question. Is it okay to install the boot.img before the ROM?

Yes, as long as you go back to recovery right after flashing the boot image and install the ROM, otherwise your phone MAY not boot up (it should boot up and work, but it's a digital device)...

try unplugging...and then selecting HBOOT.....it might not give that error ...

still i cant load the fricking boot.img!!!!!!!
everytime i try it says "cannot load boot.img"
any help

hi
It seems like its a problem wiith the path from which u run the fastboot command.....what is the location of boot.img in ur system? is it in the same folder as fastboot.exe? and while giving the command 'fastboot flash....' what is the location that the command prompt is showing?(the working directory)

Once in the bootloader you must select FASTBOOT first and then connect via usb and type in fastboot devices. If it returns a number you're connected. That, may fix your issue.

OMG Please Help me!

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?

Need help flashing boot.img

I just got an HTC One X, and it's already been rooted. The recovery is TWRP and that's all I know. I'm trying to flash a ROM, but first I need to flash the boot.img, and that's the problem. I can't. There's an automated process, and I followed the steps, got into fastboot usb but the program just sits on waiting for device. Also, when I boot into fastboot it only shows fastboot in red, until I move down towards power off, then it changes into fastboot usb. So, I have no idea what's going on, or if I'm missing something since I wasn't the one who rooted it.
Any help would be great, thanks and I apologize if this has already been asked.
Problem solved: issue with Windows 8.

I'm getting waiting for device via this method as well, so my device isn't connected or my computer isn't seeing it and I don't know why. I have flashboot usb in red, so I assumed it was working.
No one knows? Is it a file that I may be missing or a driver?

Did you use the same PC for rooting ? Do you have HTC Sync (drivers) installed ? Try with a different USB port.

Sounds like drivers,
Update your packages on Android SDK, most noticeably the Google usb driver. (all whilst phone is plugged in of course)
Also check that usb debugging is enabled on your phone.

I wasn't the one who rooted the phone. I installed the HTC sync software and even installed separate driver for it where its now labeled "My HTC".
I installed the Android SDK along with the USB package and still no go. Don't remember if I had the phone plugged in at the time but I believe I did.
Thanks for the answers. I'll keep trying things out. Anymore advice would be appreciated.

Usb debugging enabled on the phone?
& installed all the packages on Android-SDK?
What adb commands are you typing, did you install Android-SDK to its default location?
Default commands aint what you were typing above.
The default location is:

USB de-bugging enabled, yes.
I installed the required packages, even the 4.0 and up images. I installed the SDK under C:\ just like I did with fastboot.
What are the default commands? I only used the commands that I seen being advised to use.
I just tried to reboot it using the command adb reboot. It just said: device not found, which confirms my problem. My computer isn't detecting the phone while it's in fastboot and I don't know why. Is there a specific driver that you need for the device while it's in fastboot?
Also, while in fastboot in device manager it's under Android 1.0 with a yellow triangle. While, out of fastboot it's under My HTC.

Ok, so you installed to a folder called fastboot instead of the default 'Android-SDK'?
This would make fastboot still located in platform-tools, right?
So after putting the boot.img inside c:/fastboot/platform-tools
Put phone in fastboot usb
Open command prompt on pc
CD c:/fastboot/platform-tools
fastboot flash boot boot.img

No-no, I installed in C:\ under the name Android so C:\Android\SDK but I also have a fastboot folder, which is under C:\ as well. I'm missing something and I know it has to be a driver but I jsut don't know what driver.

It would help if I could see a screen shot of your Android SDK installation path.
It could just be a simple invalid command your trying.

Nope, the command isn't the problem. I told you I have a separate fastboot folder I downloaded and put in C:\. So, C:\fastboot - fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same command. Problem isn't the command, it's that my computer isn't detecting my device while it's in fastboot and the command gets stuck on "waiting for device." Until I can get my computer to recognize the phone, commands are useless.
Also, I still tried the command you gave me just to see, same problem. Waiting for device.

USB master mode failed to open...

Originally, my one x was o2 branded, so I unlocked the bootloader and rooted, I installed a custom Rom and everything was ok. Last night I used a method I found on xda of going back to stock (because there isn't an ruu yet) I flashed the latest cwm, flashed boot.img, after this my bootloader says...
sd checking....
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) Failed to open USB master mode
loading Htcupdatezipimg....
Failed to open USB master mode
Plug off device.
So I'm stuck on pretty old software. I can't flash a new recovery, boot.img or do anything with adb in fastboot.
I have reinstalled drivers, factory reset, I even installed another Rom, none of which changed my fastboot problem.
Any help would really be appreciated

I get that message all the time when in HBOOT. I then select fastboot off the bootloader menu, press power to get in to fastboot and I'm good to go with flashing what I want.
And when you're in fastboot, you don't use adb commands, you use fastboot commands via cmd/terminal.

Have found myself in a similar position, all the following assumes you're using windows as you desktop OS...
To double check your recovery is broken, get into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down), use volume down to highlight "hboot" then press the power button to select. Then press volume down to highlight "recovery" and press power button to select. If that works, then recovery is fine, just go ahead as you normally would to recover the system.
If you can't get into recovery then you have a slight problem.
Since you can get the device into fastboot mode, the priority is to get it to talk to your PC. Get the device into fastboot (power on while holding the volume down button). Once you're into fastboot, plug in the USB cable and verify the connection to your device using the following command :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show you a single entry for your device. If it doesn't show anything, then unplug the device, download the naked driver pack (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769) and unpack it into a sensible location. Plug the device back in, if it can't install software automatically or nothing appears you may have to use device manager to update the driver for the device. Find its entry in the device tree (it will probably be listed as an unknown device), RMB on its entry in device tree then select "Update Driver Software..." from the menu that appears, tell it to search automatically then point it at the location where you unpacked the naked driver pack. That should sort out any misconceptions windows has about not being able to talk to the phone.
Once you have fastboot access, you can reflash clockworkmod. You can obtain the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
flash from fastboot using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once flashed, unplug the usb cable.
Use the volume up and down to highlight "hboot" on the fastboot menu, then press the power button to select. Once in the hboot menu, scroll to the "recovery" menu item and press power again to select. You should find yourself in familiar territory at this point.
hth
EDIT : Sorry, it's nearly 2am here, I'm very tired and I've just re-read your initial post. If you've flashed a custom kernel then you MUST have fastboot access (or it's subsequently broken). Download your ROM (if you haven't already got a copy on your PC) and extract boot.img from it. Get into fastboot mode (vol down + power on) and plug into your PC. Do the following :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Unplug USB cable, use vol up/ down to highlight "REBOOT" then press power to select.If you get stuck in a bootloop, you can try going into recovery via fastboot (select "hboot" from the fastboot menu then "recovery" from the hboot menu), then select "erase cache", then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache". Then go back and reboot the device. See if that helps. If not, then go back to recovery using the aforementioned method and re-install your rom, then erase cache and wipe dalvik cache.

Edit: don't have any experience using that.. may be good idk

ultra fail... root process

i have tried way to many times to root this phone and have failed over and over. atleast once every 3 months i try with zero results. the phone is unlocked using the OneX v2.5 tool kit here. when i try to do perm root it says " User C not recognized as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file". ive tried putting the tool kit directly in C: and 86x. nothing works. what do i need to do to root this freaking phone. im fixing to get a bat to this phone!
Have you tried a different version, reinstall/redownload and running it as an admin?

no. i havent. do you have a recommendation for a different root system?
both programs ive used says "phone not connected". i dont get it. ive tried debugging and recovery. i have never had an android this hard to root. samsung galaxy s2 was very easy.
have you tried to flash a custom recovery and root package. that's how i did for mine and i was done within 10 minutes
You have a custom recovery ? Just install the SU.zip via recovery then. Tried that ?

ive tried the all in one unlock and root kit. didnt work. could you post a link to what you used?
I never root stock rom. I'm always on a custom rom.
Just check for the superuser zip and install it in the custom recovery

Do you get any output with "adb devices"? When you don't (and your phone has debugging enabled), it may as well be a driver problem.
(quick tip: add the antroid-tools folder to your PATH)
I personally can't find my phone on Windows anymore after the 4.2 update, so I just use an Ubuntu liveUSB for adb/fastboot purposes.

My opinion ? Don't use a toolkit. Straight commands from the prompt.
Download android sdk bundle, unpack it and go the the platform tools folder. Put there the recovery (recovery.img) open a command prompt there and type
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache

done as directed. went to cmd typed fastboot. still says internal or external not recognized. man this sux
Have you already followed the instructions on htcdev.com? You have to unlock your phone first before you can flash a recovery

yes. the phone is unlocked. it's been unlocked for like 8 months. just cant seem to root it.
Are the drivers correctly installed, download the latest HTC sync. And also check if java and .net.frameworks are installed on the pc

That seems like you're not in the correct directory.
To get rid of that error forever just put the contents of platform-tools in your C:\windows\system32 and C:\windows\syswow64 folders
Then you can run the commands from anywhere.
Now:
Install HTC sync drivers.
Put your phone in fastboot mode.
Put a recovery image in the path that the cmd shows when you start it (eg. C/users/USER/) or "cd" to the recovery image.
Then:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
When that gives decent output we're getting somewhere.
In that case put the supersu zipfile on you phones storage and flash it from recovery.

Try updating or reinstalling drivers for the phone check if your cable is good and connects it to PC
[Knowledge from tegra 2 device you must have APT or NVflash driver and whne phone is off with custom key combination enters flash mode i guss is similar to this]
screw this. phone works great just wanted to root. mint condition, will sell cheap. pm me if interested.
it isn't due to the phone...it's because windows don't know for what this command is...so install again the latest java for your win7 ....you are definitely doing something wrong...you could also try to google that error which you get after typing fastboot bla bla
it works for all other ppl so should also work for you even with my non genuine win8.1 pro it's working fine
