one x soft brick help - HTC One X

ive just installed this rom from here using cwm
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-android-4-0-4-slim-ics-custom-rom-99065/
the rom installed fine but is when reboot it is stuck in a boot loop.
The problem i am having is that CWM wont mount into USB for me to load another rom.
Any suggestions???

I think this should be in the Q&A section
Having said that, did you flash the boot.img via fastboot on your computer (fastboot flash boot boot.img)? Also did you use the command fastboot erase cache? If not, try those

And it was the boot.img you took from the rom download from the zip?
You go on cmd if you're windows, navigate to your fastboot folder
Type...
cd c:/(directory of your fastboot folder)
Mine would be
Cd c:/android
Then type
Fastboot erase cache
Ensure your device is in fastboot USB mode in the bootloader first.

First and foremost upgrade to latest cwm 5.8.4.0 as earlier versions have usb mounting and charging issues. Once upgraded you can copy your desired rom and then flash.
In your steps, I didn't see flashing the boot.img that comes inside the rom.zip file. You should flash it using fastboot from your pc with
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Before you boot your ROM. Otherwise, since cwm can't flash it, you will be booting whatever kernel is already installed.

[Q] Paranoid Android PrimoU stuck in boot animation.

Hey all,
So I've attempted this multiple times, and looked around for answers - founds some, but didn't quite understand them.
The name says it all: I have a PrimoU device and I am trying to install Paranoid Android. I have done the following:
Full wipe: wiped everything and formatted /system.
Then, I install the ROM from my SD card.
Next, I go to bootloader, fastboot, and flash the boot.img (Hellboy Kernel i think)
Finally, I install gapps.
Am I doing something wrong/ can anyone offer me a solution. I've seen forums saying that I am stuck in a "boot loop" and that I need to flash the boot.img... which I thought I did. I also tried to go inside the ROM and flash that boot.img but it made me loop on the HTC boot.
Regards.

Ensure that you use the proper command
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Does the cmd say 'finished' at the end?

Yes I used that command, and it says finished at the end. Which boot.img am I supposed to be flashing though? The kernel right?

Yes,just a change of order
Flash kernel,wipe,flash rom,reboot into rom,again into recovery and flash gapps.
(order doesnt affect much)
try like this
install kernel - latest hellboy kernel 15022013 - BE SURE TO NOT FLASH THE 4.2 ONE - flash only the one that has CM10 in its name.
boot in recovery
do a factory reset and then wipe system
install rom
reboot
reboot into recovery
install gapps

Thank you so much, I was flashing the 2013 kernel not the one with CM10.

Looping on CyanogenMod boot screen!

First off, I want to state that I'm a complete noob at everything. Okay so today I tried to install IceColdJelly v3.2 from CyanogenMod 10, following the instructions on the page. When I tried to flash the the rom, I got a failed error. After that, I decided to just reboot my phone but now it gets stuck on the CyanogenMod load screen, then reboots itself and loops all over again. Is there anything I can do? My phone doesn't appear on my PC when I plug it in. I'm completely clueless as to what to do now so please help me!
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the required hboot to run 4.2.2 roms?
Failed while installing rom means either a not supported hboot/base or corrupt download... just redownload the rom and extract the boot.img from it and put it in your fastboot folder and then do the following.
1. Go to recovery and go to mounts and storage>Mount usb and put the ICJrom.zip and gapps on your phone...
2. Wipe data/cache partition/dalvic and then flash the ROM and then gapps..
3. Go to bootloader and then flash the boot.img via fastboot and then fastboot erase cache
4. Reboot

Are you sure you flashed the boot image and wiped everything properly (as described in most ROM's threads)?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
that problem will mostly occur if you are installling a rom in unclean way..
make sure you do superwipe and before flashing rom flash its boot.img and do- "fastboot erase cache" afterwards
then flash it from recovery

most of the people here know the procedures. give us information that will help you solve the problem. like is your phone already rooted. the steps you do when flashing. like what did you really do before that error appears. something like that.

3) installed clockwork recovery mode
4) now transfer the custom rom into the internal memory
5) reboot phone into bootloader mode
6) select "recovery"
7) wipe data/factory reset
8) wipe cache partitions
9) wipe dalvik cache
10) install zip from sd card-->choose zip from sd card-->select the rom
11) select yes

you do not need to root, flash custom recovery and unlock the bootloader everytime.
you did not flash the rom's boot.img. everytime you flash rom or kernel dont forget to flash boot.img. place the rom's boot.img inside your fastboot folder. then do the command:
fastboot erase cache.
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
then reboot.

yeah. you still have to that. extract the boot.img from the rom. place the boot.img inside your fastboot folder. boot your phone into bootloader. it you see fastboot usb you can now flash the boot.img.
open command prompt. navigate to your fastboot folder or you can just right click on the fastboot folder and select "enter comman prompt here" something like that. then enter this commands.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that's two different command.

it does'nt matter it you flash boot.img before of after. but me i always flash boot.img first. because if you flash the rom first. you'll boot your phone to recovery then after you flash rom you'll boot to bootloader, where you will press power button + vol down. while if you flash boot.img first. after that just go to hboot then select recovery then flash rom. well that's just me. hehe.

Unable to update recovery

After a long string of flashing failures with this device, I'm needing to update the recovery.
Unfortunately after it let me downgrade the recovery, no matter what recovery I flash (CWM latest or TWM) for the HTC One X, the god damn older version is still there.
I've tried updating it through One X One Click and CWM itself. But I have no idea what's going wrong or what's needed to be done.
[Edit]
Okay, it seemed to install with no errors this time.
Now I just have to figure out why the heck it always displays "HTC quietly brilliant" forever.

so, which recovery did you install? which rom are you trying to install?
Recovery. Img is to be flashed through fastboot and not in recovery itself
Go in your fastboot folder
Open cmd there and give commands
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
And you're good to go :thumbup:

Hello,
I have the same problem;
I was on recovery CMW 6.0.4.4. I tried to update to 6.0.4.5 or philz. Fastboot says okay after install, but when I restart to recovery, recovery is still 6.0.4.4.
What I haven't done is erase cache. Could this be it? Cannot try for the moment because I'm at work.
Thanks

yes, it might be... try to flash again recovery and to erase cache after OKAY message...
I tried it again with fastboot and than erase cache : doesn't work
Than I copied the recovery zip file to sdcard and installed it through clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4. Everything installed ok but when I reboot recovery it is still 6.0.4.4?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The zip is of no use, the recovery.img has to be flashed via fastboot (s-on devices have no other choice) try to flash a different recovery to check that works. Maybe the recovery is a bad download
I've found the solution.
It was a problem with my fastboot extension.
Thanks anyway
