You can't unless it's in a flashable zip format but I haven't seen anything of that sort, yet..
Just yesterday I helped DivinDuck with a very similar problem. The post is here.
---SNIP
If you batter drops below 30%, use the script provided in this post to recharge it.
-Copy your CWM recovery 5.8.4.0 image file to where your fastboot files are on your PC.
-Reboot your phone to bootloader by pressing vol down+power buttons.
-When the phone says fastboot on a white background, plug the USB cable in to your PC and phone. It should now say FASTBOOT USB
-From your PC, open a command prompt, go to the folder where you have fastboot files and recovery image and issue
fastboot flash recovery <name of CWM Recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
Now when you reboot your phone and go to bootloader then into recovery you should see CWM 5.8.4.0 version installed.
--SNIP

You should somehow figure out when your phone is charging or not. After that when you get little more life to your battery in CWM recovery you can go to "mounts and storage", and there "mount usb storage". Then your computer should see your device, and you will able to put working rom in phones sdcard and flash it over. It worked for me atleast, I once have almost same problem what you have now.

Only 5.8.3.x and later support USB mount under recovery. His version is older.
The following command (also in the charging batch file) can also be used to get the battery status (charging, not charging etc..) from fastboot:
fastboot getvar battery-voltage

How do i save that file?
Thnx hope it works

Wow dude THANK YOU!!
It worked, think it charged in charger cause i didnt get battery error now
So how do i flash a rom from here?
Im not willing to **** it up again xD

First, put the rom zip file in ur sd card, then flash its kernel in fastboot by doing this:
Fastboot erase cache
Press enter.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press Enter.
Fastboot erase cache.
Press enter.
Then go into recovrry, erase data, and preferably dalvik cache too, and then install the rom zip from sdcard
Then hit thanks
Im pretty sure the reason ur phone didnt boot is that u didnt flash the kernel

[Q] Another bricked phone thread!

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.
Cheers.

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.

[Q] HTC One X Possibly Bricked

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.

Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.

What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

It says endeavoru

Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?

Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.

No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217

Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?

Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!

If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted
Good to go mate

[Q] Stuck on boot screen,

Im sorry if this has been answered so many times but ive spent about 4 hours looking around and i couldnt understand half of the solutions that were out there. My problem is that i attempted to root my htc one x and i succeeded. Then i tried to put the new jellybean 4.2.2 cyanogen10.1 mod nightlies or something like that. This failed terribly. I have no back ups or anything what so ever. I dont care about anything i may have lost, i only want to get the phone working again. I know i should have researched this further before trying, but yeah... if anybody has done the same thing and solved there matter i'd be so grateful. it still responds on fastboot. heres some info on the bootloader screen. I tried factory resetting it, clearing the cache...none worked.

Hi, same problem here..
my phone got stuck on the startup screen (HTC quietly brilliant). But my case is different because im a total noob, newly registered here. I bought my htc one x that is already in CM10 jellybean mode. last night i got a notification for cm10 update, I just click it without thinking much (cause im a noob) then after rebooting it just freezes... I hope senior members here can help me, i reallly dont want to lose my data..

You probably updated to CM10.1. You need to take the update's boot.img and flash it in fastboot.

just to be sure, the bootloader mode is when the HBOOT is highlighted blue am i right?
oh i hate myself..

It should say
Fastboot usb in red text above that

In bootloader you should highlight fastboot using volume keys and press power. Then fastboot mode should be engaged and FASTBOOT USB text visible.

Do you have HTC syncmanager installed on the pc ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers when asked !
Reboot the pc and the bootloader....check again.
And you should have a myhtc in the device manager when the phone is plugged in the pc

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

one you're in command prompt. navigate to where your fastboot folder is. like this C:\Users\ashleynicholson\desktop\fastboot>
you can now enter these two commands. one at a time

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.
