[Q] after flashing stuck in boot

I have a HTC ONE X. I flashed it with paronoid android jellybean and it worked. I then rebooted my phone to make a nandroid backup and after that when i tried to switch on the phone its stuck in boot screen. I reflashed it with paranoid android but after rebooting it again got stuck in boot screen.
Pls Help

Still no luck :crying:

Did you do a full wipe ??

Hboot version?

With viper the hboot is no issue

Then you didn't flash the kernel in a correct way

Exactly.
I did that way twice

Then I don't know why it's not working. Make sure you wipe everything on the phone and make sure you dont have a corrupted download ! Can't think of anything else then !

[q] twrp cant mount cache

When in fastboot i can clear the cache and it is sucessfull, in twrp i cant mount it, my phone is in a constant boot loop that shows the notice in red indicating the constant bootloop is trying to load twrp.
after this i have to reflash twrp then clear the cache and reboot before i can get into twrp again.
i have viper 2.6.0 downloaded and cannot install it
i have a twrp backup of my origonal rom that wont work due to the previous.
i have tried flashing clockworkmod and it failed.
i had an error mounting the sd card but i managed to fix it
when i try to restore the boot in twrp it has errors mounting the cache
What should i do?

Why would you want to mount the cache? just format the cache and flash the correct boot.img in fastboot-USB mode and your phone will have no problems.

When i tried that nothing happend, and i dont know why when trying to flash the boot.img in twrp it wants to access the cache but it fails.
I think part of my problem with the fastboot boot.img copy was that i do not have the boot.img from my origonal O.S. in a .img format so i had to download somebody elses nand to try that. when i backed up my O.S. with twrp it saved my boot info as boot.emmc.win

Yes and you can flash that like all other boot.img files
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
You cant flash a boot.img in recovery ! I.dont really get the picture what you are trying to do ? Cache is just temp....you can wipe it and it builds up again. You can't flash cache or anything like that ....

I ran ruu and rooted but when I try to install a rom Twrp fails on me and says it can't mount the cache

Never mind. I ended up changing recoveries from TWRP 2.5.0.0 to CWM 6.0.2.8 and it was able to mount and wipe the cache.

[Q] I need help something go wrong when i tried to root it

Hi yersterday I've tried to root my HTC one x, I was doing it with video on youtube when I finished doing it and rebooted my phone it turning on but I think it's something with system maby i'm wrong but I have no idea what to do now to get it fully working if you had similar problem or know what I had done wrong and how to fix the problem can you help me please.
That what comes up when I turn my HOX on

How did you root it ? By pushing a file with the custom recovery ? Get a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------
Oke, i saw the video. Would you like a new custom rom now ? That's the most easiest !

Yeas please

If you are getting the recovery screen when normal booting you have probably flashed the recovery onto the boot partition with fastboot flash boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will need the boot.img for the mainver that you have
And need to flash it with fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yep, start over with flashing.
First the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you flash the boot.img from the new rom ! (Its inside the rom.zip)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, format cache, system and data
Then install the new rom.zip

I did it every thing went fine this time and my HOX is fully rooted and fully working Thank you Mr Hofs

Case......

Ah good to hear that !
And yes....another
CASE CLOSED !

[Q][HELP][SOLVED] Fastboot can't send boot.img to my phone

I think I really screwed up my phone, I was trying to get my Google play store working on my phone by adjusting the Dpi (read it somewhere on the internet), so I rebooted and it wouldn't load my rom/system anymore. But the problem now is, is that I can't acces my sd card with HBOOT or similar things, fastboot does see my device but if I try sending files to it the next error appears:
C:\Users\Elke\Desktop\r1-primo-superboot>fastboot flash system shpongle.zip
sending 'system' (131180 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
Als this error keeps occuring:
C:\Users\Elke\Desktop\r1-primo-superboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (2988 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
Does anybody know what I should do to get my phone working again? Because I really need my phone (it contains all my appointments and homework and stuff)
PS: If you need more information on my phone just ask for it and I'll try my best to find it!
PPS: Thanks in advance!

I think I fixed it
After numerous attempts my phone is responding to some fastboot commands, so I think I got it working again

Now my phone is stuck at the HTC startup screen

heyy man, if you have a custom recovery already installed, use that to wipe your phone and install the new rom
then pull the boot.img out of the rom .zip you are trying to use, then you need to "fastboot flash boot d:/boot.img" (of course, to your boot.img location)
hope this helps

Yes

The custom ROM is no longer on my phone due to lack of space, and here is the problem I can't acces my SD card (Won't show up in my computer) in bootloader (to transfer the needed files) Is there someway to transfer my files with fastboot? or ADB or something like that?

I just flashed the boot image you gave me, but it's still stuck at the HTC screen.

Dammit again
I have to go to school in about 2 minutes so here is the status of my phone
-just flashed new kernel, but still stuck at HTC screen
-In bootloader when I select my customrecovery (TWRP) it shows HTC with a loadboar in the right-upper corner, then that loadingbar disappears and it shows just HTC (with red lettering underneath : This build... etc) and gets stuck again.
Thanks for the help so far but my phone is still broken dammit :c

Since you've got fastboot working again, re flash your custom recovery first.
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then boot into recovery.
Now you can go into >advance>mount>mount USB storage
( using TWPR )
Copy the custom Rom to your pc
Unmount USB storage move to >wipe cashe, dalvick cache, factory reset, system
Wipe everything.
Move to > install and flash Rom
Once install is finished click the wipe cashe/dalvick.
Go back to the home screen in TWRP click >reboot> bootloader
Now flash your kernel. fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once finished fastboot reboot
I think you might have had a bad recovery flash.

What is RUU and how do I use it? and also were can I find it?

Soft brick. Bootloop. Fastboot works. Recovery adb works. TWRP GUI broken.

Secure boot enabled.
Device state - unlocked.
I tried to follow the Heisenberg tutorial to flash a custom Rom.
Finished the root. Decided I installed the wrong version of GApps. Went back to stock to redo the process.
Accidentally installed a 6p stock image instead of 5x. Then my troubles began.
I've tried a lot of different things. I don't have a full log of steps taken.
Have tried reflashing different 5x stock images. They flash fine but problem persists.
Problems:
1. Booting to Android bootloops
2. TWRP recovery GUI is non-responsive.
Fastboot works great.
Reflashing TWRP from fastboot doesn't help.
ADB access to recovery seems responsive, but I'm not sure whether commands are actually executing. For example running twrp factoryreset just hangs. All twrp commands do that.
I would like to perform a factory reset. I have TWRP backups that I could restore. I don't know how to do that from fastboot.

First download the full Nexus 5x stock rom from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images then boot your Nexus 5x into its bootloader then on your computer (I am assuming it's Windows) download 7zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org then right click the .tgz stock rom file you just downloaded on your computer then extract it with 7zip. Inside that you will find a .tar file. Extract that then you will find a zip file before extracting the zip file run the .bat file while your Nexus 5x is connected to your computer then hold down your shift key, right click and click open command window here (while you are in the folder where you extracted the zip) in the command window, terminal, CMD, whatever you like to call it then type fastboot -w (that does a factory reset) then type fastboot flash system system.img then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img than fastboot flash boot boot.img than fastboot flash cache cache.img then fastboot flash userdata userdata.img then fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. You should be able to boot back into Android now but you will need to reflash twrp. Also download the any file for 6.0.1 not 7.0 because you will have to do some extra steps for that.
P.S. this MIGHT erase your twrp backups.
Thank You,
Sincerely VibraniumDroid

Hanging on what? google logo or bootanimation.
Youve tried LG download mode? (power + volume up, then plug usb into phone).
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_47Y-yOTF8k
By the way try a full restore and after lock the bootloader.

It doesn't hang. It shows the normal sequence of GOogle screen and colored dots, then reboots.
I've accessed LG download mode but don't know what to do with it.

I gave those directions a try and I'm back at the bootloop with a locked bootloader. I don't know how I'm supposed to flash anything with a locked bootloader, aside from those TOT files, which haven't worked yet... sigh. I really appreciate how much help the community here has been though, hopefully we can get this sorted out on our devices.

Phone shows up on LGUP. Loathe to try the other thread's directions if it might lock my bootloader.
Tried your suggestion. Didn't work.
flashed vendor stock, then restored nandroid backup all.
android boot sticks on google screen.

Followed these instructions through step 15
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/unbrick-nexus-5x-t3438133
Still had bootloop. Cycling through colored dots. Couldn't continue, because couldn't unlock phone's bootloader.
Also can't flash images, because no TWRP recovery anymore.
Seems I'm dead in the water, yes?
Not a big change.

I think he means he has bootloader access, but it's locked (that is how my phone currently is as well). You can only flash valid/signed zips from there, not custom ROMs or recoveries.
My goal now at the very least is to get the bootloader unlocked again.
