[Q] Phone loops reboot in recovery after flash

HI Guys... this is my first post here so thanks for the great forum
Here is my issue, I've installed The All-in-one tool kit to unlock my phone, all went ok for unlocking,
then i tried to flash a rom and i think i messed up pretty bad.
Just had my One X 2 weeks ago fist time flashing a One X (Did it several times with my Galaxy Ace)
Now my phone keeps on rebooting and eventually gets stuck on boot animation with the red message from CMW saying That this build is for development purposes only ect....
I cant even get in the bootloader, what are my option here?
Thanks in advance

it's strange that you can't go into bootloader, but anyway, can you go to recovery? if so, try to reflash. but anyway you'll need bootloader to flash boot.img ("fastboot flash boot boot.img" on cmd).
or, try to go into recovery, connect to pc, and type in cmd: "adb reboot bootloader", and you should go into bootloader, then flash boot.img

Ok... so i got into bootloader now (kinda tricky when phone reboots on it own.)
Once in bootloader i choose fastboot, then pc connects to phone, then i did fastboot flash boot boot.img in cmd in my c:/android folder (i have the ziped rom file in there too)
C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (4302 KB)... OKAY [ 0.953s]
writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 1.210s]
finished. total time: 2.165s
This is the result. My guess from there is to go in recovery from the bootloader. But i get stuck again rebooting and nothing happends.
I guess im missing something here... Thanks for your patience!

Reflash the recovery again and erase cache with fastboot commands, maybe it helps

[Q]getting error 152 on RUU?

Hey guys!
while running the RUU instalation I get an error 152, some update error thing.
phone wont boot to recovery, all I have is the blakc screen with silver HTC logo and I have no idea what to do
any ideas?

Okay, run the RUU again but this time don't click next, instead:
Go to C:/Users/(Yournamehere)/AppData/Local/Temp
- search for "rom.zip" file
Copy it to your fastboot folder
Remember to relock your device before running an RUU! To do this from the HTC screen, type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then
type 'fastboot oem lock'. To go back to the HTC logo, type: 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
Then, on the HTC screen, use fastboot to flash the rom.zip file: "fastboot flash zip rom.zip"
This might take awhile and might fail once, but be patient and try again if it fails
After installation it most likely won't appear to do anything and in that case, type: "fastboot reboot"

But for now, the phon doesnt count as bricked?
And btw, fastboot commands will work whn im on the black slove htc screen? My recovery isnt openning...

[Q] HTC One X stuck In fastboot with usb debugging disabled

Hello,
I am new with the Htc One X , I also have the nexus 4 and previously had galaxy nexus and had rooted them thought the HTC one X was quite different from that so I really wasn able to understand much abt it while I was done rooting it I tried flashing a rom with CWM but then i did not know that I had to flash the boot .img via cmd then when I tried to do that it didn show the serial in ADB devices as the Developer Options was Off is there ANY OTHER way to push the files in or any other solution to make it work? At the moment its not turning on it directly takes it to the bootloader...
Could somebody please help me with it ?
Hoping for a positive response : (

You don't need adb to flash the boot.img.

Are you sure that is the correct boot.IMG
It looks very large.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the boot partition on the phone is only 8mb and the error you're getting is because the file you're trying to flash is larger than the available space for the image
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Correct ! boot.img are never that large !!! The stock is around 8 Mb but not much more than that. all the custom boot.img files are between 5 and 6 Mb.....
i correct myself the stock bot.img is exactly 8 Mb....at least for the 2.17 and 3.18 stock !

HTC ONE X - Installing Custom Recovery Issue

While rooting my One X I may have gotten a bit stuck, the phone hangs at the HTC loading screen.
And I cannot load a custom recovery onto the phone.
I have unlocked the boot loader, but got to the step of flashing the custom recovery and I get this error:
sending 'recovery' <6038 KB>...
FAILED (command write faileed (Unknown error))
finsihed. total time: 0.642s
I got boot into fastboot, and can see my phone, appear with the command "fastboot devices" but am unable to do anything else.
Any help to get my phone back would be appresiated

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img (to be precise)
I wish it was that simple.
Just tried it again first ime same eorr, then tried it again and it just held on sending ' recovery' and the phone went unresponsive

it is that simple. put recovery.img inside fastboot folder. go into bootloader then flash recovery via cmd with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. that's it. did you try downloading another recovery? might be a bad download. i guess.

Tried another USB port or cable?

Did you flash the boot.img file from the rom.zip via fastboot? And then did you erase fastboot cache? Did you wipe everything before installing the rom via recovery?

1.19.707.1

So here is what I did, tried downloading JBFWTools and up the hboot version but I think i am doing something wrong because it keeps redirecting me to the web page.
I have copied the firmware file to the SD card and follow the 5 step instruction as what was mentioned in the prompt in the batch file but to no +ve result..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003

My guess is that your hboot is so low that it won't update via that way. Try this....
Relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
Then execute this ruu with admin rights
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251281_signed.exe
Once that one is done you install this one
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed.exe
Then this one
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
And last but least this one
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
After the last one you let the phone search for manual ota updates, do that multiple times until you are sure there aren't any left !
Ow and btw....a firmware is not flashed via the sdcard of the phone. But from the pc to the phone in fastboot mode.

Crap that is a ton of steps!
Thanks Mr Hofs will try out tonite and keep you posted.
The reason why i never bothered to do this is because the phone did pretty well for the last few years with the ROM that it came with, its just lately with all the higher requirements of softwares its about time that I cleaned it up. Din know I joined the dinosaurs!

I think there is still something missing or fishy.

That's not how you run a ruu ! A ruu is with the phone in the bootloader (with a relocked or locked bootloader) then right click the ruu.exe and select run as administrator. The problem could be the low hboot. It might not be able to update the hboot with big steps like these !
A firmware flash might solve that (and that's where you need that particular command)

Take out the firmware.zip and follow the procedures in the thread i linked.
After that you try the 2.17.707 or the 3.14.707 ruu again.

I did run it from my PC in bootloader mode and it was in lower case.
For this set of instructions can you please explain or lead me to a thread for the following areas:

OK Understand
Take out the firmware.zip and follow the procedures in the thread i linked.
OK Understand but which thread?
After that you try the 2.17.707 or the 3.14.707 ruu again.
Previously posted links did not contain these two numbers, so possible to pls post the link.
Sorry for the trouble. Just want to make sure I am taking all precautions and doing things right so as to not brick my phone.

These are the commands ! The firmware zip is in the OTA file....and the 2 ruu's are linked a page back. The one starting with 2.17.707 and 3.14.707 check those links. They are direct download links, can't mis them !!!

Previous posts did not contain these numbers ? What are the bottom 2 ruu.exe files then ?

It says firmware.zip is invalid.

How did you take the firmware zip out of the ota ? I always use 7zip to open the archive and drag the firmware zip out.
Worst case scenario is that your hboot is to low .... maybe and even older ruu might work. Or look for another older ota and take the firmware zip out of that.

I ll try 7zip now. I am using winzip. Tried opening the zip file in explorer which always works. But not in this case.
