Hi, if you can help me unbrick my phone I'll buy you a beer (or three!)
I have an htc one x which i managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev as in various tutorials....
I was too lazy to take a backup
I then tried to install cyanogenmod 10 using cwm recovery.... (by flashing a zip file i had downloaded - one of the nightly builds)
I wiped the cache etc in cwm
it got stuck in a boot loop i think as it got to the spinning cyanogen logo then nothing happened...
I've tried to get it working again using lots of different methods - i downloaded some RUU exes which failed because they said they weren't the correct ROM (even though they should be right) - then i read a tutorial about how to use fastboot to flash system.img onto the phone but it fails giving error code 00000006
I can't push any zip files to the phone using ADB as I get permission denied errors
I've also tried to use fastboot to flash various recoveries but I can't apply any zips because I can't get them onto the phone in the first place
I've also flashed various recovery.img files but when they load, I get a red triangle after a few seconds
If someone could tell me how to use ADB to push a zip file to the phone I'd be really grateful - have tried everything but keep getting permission denied errors
Thanks
(oh and if you manage to help me fix it I WILL buy you a beer... or 3)
oh and ....
ALSO I've googled the problem and tried all of the options I can find which could help - please don't just send me a link to a page because i can guarantee I've probably already tried the solution and failed. When I boot into recovery, I can't use adb push to send files to the phone because it says it's not connected even if i try the option for mount data, or mount storage - the only time windows seems to manage to aknowledge it's existence is on the fastboot screen -

Have you flashed the cm boot IMG and then erased fastboot cache?
fastboot flash boot pathtoboot.IMG
fastboot erase cache
For the RUU to work you need to have stock recovery and a relocked boot loader.
if you download the latest clockworkmod mounting as USB storage is fixed.

wow that was a quick reply - yes I've flashed the cm boot img and erased the cache - which version of CWM is the latest? - When you say mounting as USB storage is fixed, do you mean that windows will be able to see the device and write files to it?
(I'm really sorry for asking these questions - the problem is that I know a BIT about how android works but not as much as I should do)

Are you absolutely sure you flashed the boot.img from the rom.zip using fastboot on your computer? Because it really sounds like you didn't
This is a thread I made and it should provide you with a solution if not a starting point if you insist on CM10.

Good luck!
sorry hope i'm not wasting your time!
I ran the command as follows :-
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
(I got the img file from the ruu )
I'm not 100% sure if it worked, but at that stage I didn't see any errors

CWM 5.8.4.0 has the USB mounting fixed. You can go to mounts and storage and mount as USB, then the PC will see it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I'm pretty sure you either didn't flash the boot.img or flashed the wrong one, so get it again to make sure it's the right one and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot erase cache
thanks!
I'll give it a go - to be honest i don't insist on using cm10 at all - i just wanted to see what jellbean was like and it seemed like a reasonable way of achieving that.... i'd be quite happy with any decent rom if it can fix the lag problems i have and some of the other issues.....
great tutorial by the way! - once my phone has charged up again I'll try it

I use CM10 myself at the moment because of the aesthetics, but because of the amount of ram and battery it uses I wish I had stuck with ARHD.
Come October we should see Jellybean ARHD which will have great features like USB OTG without a powered hub.

Mount as USB not working on that version, also charging not working either. It was not a great release in terms.of features, but it was updated quickly, that's quite an.old version now.
Do you know which tutorial you followed? It really needs updating, there are a lot of people on this old version struggling more than they need to.
Right, first you're going to flash a recovery which allows you to mount USB storage. Either cwm or TWRP, download the recovery.img and flash through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery rocoveryname.img.
Download a new rom and extract the boot.img from it. Flash that boot.img using the usual fastboot method.
Now boot into the new recovery, connect to your pc and mount USB storage from the option in recovery. Copy over the rom you downloaded. Unmount USB storage. Now do a full wipe through the menu in recovery - format /data, /system and /cache. Now flash the rom and reboot

I know the formating option in cwm recovery but that only deletes the
data files it does not format the whole internal memory.
So how do you do this? i heard people just use oem lock
and oem unlock to relock the bootloaded and unlock it again since that seems
to wipe everything.
But i wanna know if theres legit command that does formatting of internal
storage for galaxy nexus?
best way is to use the fastboot commands
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock

Yes. Reboot your device into fastboot and type the following:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
Device is now wiped. You will need to flash a new ROM afterwards...
ive followed these steps and done all of the commands but now i cannot flash a rom.
im launched straight to fastboot, (as theres no rom) and it says no boot or recovery img.
i can get into CWM, but i see this.
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
any ideas anyone? think i need to look for a boot.img?

If you followed my steps above, you have effectively wiped your device (except the bootloader, radio and splash image).
You can't see /sdcard, because /sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media, which you just wiped.
You need to re-flash all the partitions that you just wiped. What ROM are you trying to flash, and how are you trying to flash it? If you are trying to flash a ROM in recovery and need /sdcard, you need to first flash the userdata partition with the stock userdata.img found in one of the images here.
great minds... i have already done that, went here http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju then flashed each .img one by one through nexus toolkit.
booted up into stock already. nice
thanks
I have the battery not charging issue. On top of that I can't fastboot my phone since it is not recognized by my PC. So how can I wipe the internal storage? I have only a certain amount of battery left. And I do not want to send all my private data to Samsung support.

Odin is a leaked Samsung tool. If you're suggesting such tool, search around for Heimdall, see if it supports galaxy nexus, if it does, suggest that.

As long as you don't format /system, you won't lose root.

Thanks. Is there a tool/app to do that please. Or I can just go about and delete
The reason I want to format is after having flashed 4.3( 3 different build) im no longer able to use instagram with an error 'unfortunately,Instagram has stopped' whereas all other things is working fine. I can't clear data/cache Instagram either.

Hi efrant, it seems that I have exactly the same issue: My evita was a bit slow so I performed a factory reset from the bootloader... stupid idea as it removed the OS (ROM) from my SD. I tried to push a ROM in the device, it said it was successful but there is still nothing on my SD card.
In the bootloader adb is not detecting my phone, fastboot is working though. Sideload is not working.
When i try to wipe anything from TRWP it says : it says "failed to mount 'sdcard' (invalid argument)"
Charac:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

I can't try your solution because I don't know how to flash system, userdata & cache (I know how to flash boot & recovery). Can you help me on this?

I found the solution : Plug the phone to the PC, open in TWRP recovery / click on mount, then the PC ask to format the device, format in fat32. Then copy the rom to the sdcard. Flash it with TWRP. Done!
Hi guys,
Need urgent assistance as I'm having a weird problem.
So I installed Viper (latest update) and everything was working fine...added numerous tweaks (statusbar, icons, etc)
Now I installed the latest version of Strobe, jotha's APM mod and SenseCream (in that order) but my phone won't start!
I can access the boot screen but it gets stuck on black screen after the modified boot screen (which worked before I installed these themes too btw)
I can still access recovery and bootloader but I can't start the phone - I'd also appreciate assistance in uninstalling these themes as they seem to be the culprit (if I can get them working, all the better ofcourse)
Any suggestions?
p.s. I have the international HTC One X with 3.14.401.31 (I believe) base
Did you flash the boot.img ?
Try to full wipe again in recovery then flash the boot.img then install the full rom. After installing, boot the phone. DO NOT flash those two add ons right away after the rom.
That also happens to me a while ago.

I'll do the full wipe now...where do I find the boot.img though?
also how do I access usb to copy the full rom into the sdcard? i can't seem to access it
It's in the ROM zip . extract it and flash it through fastboot . fastboot flash boot boot.img .
If you do a full wipe, the full rom (the zip file viper rom) will remain in your virtual sd card.
First, on your computer where you save the downloaded zip file of viper rom, extract it then copy the boot.img you found inside, then place it on your fastboot files.
Next, go into your bootloader by pressing power button and volume down for about 10-15secs
In the bootloader, choose the fastboot by clicking the power botton, navigate using the volume keys.
Then connect your usb. Open a command prompt to your computer then navigate to your fastboot files. After that, flash "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then "fastboot erase cache"
Then go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik. Finally, flash the zip file (viper rom)
make a full wipe: data, cache partition, and dalvik,

I probably deleted it as I installed the viper rom a long time ago...I have a copy on my laptop but I doubt I have one in the sdcard as well
Is there any way to transfer it from my laptop to the sdcard? perhaps via fastboot?
Oke, mount the sdcard in the recovery as a usb mass storage and copy the rom.zip from sdcard\O\ back to sdcard\
Then just reflash the rom.zip with only a dalvik cache and cache wipe.....always do a nandroid backup before flashing themes or mods
And after flashing a mod or theme you don't have to flash the boot.img if it goes wrong ....only the rom.zip. the theme probably broke the framework of the rom so it fails to boot properly

Yes there is no other option the framework changed for the last viper update so I think the theme is not updated yet with the proper framework
Flash this recovery , you are on a old cwm recovery

So flash the recovery, mount as mass storage and copy the rom zip, install the rom.zip and choose wipe dalvik cache and cache only !!! Then boot the phone. Then use es file explorer and set it with root functions in the settings of es file explorer ....then navigate to system/data and delete the theme.apk files you want to delete, reboot again and its gone

so far I can't figure out how to remove the 2 themes I flashed on the phone though...strobe I "think" I found via system folder but I have no idea where the other 2 items are (SenseCream and apm mod) - any clues?
Quite a few of my apps are crashing at boot as well but I imagine this should be resolved once I've completed all the system updates

Hi all, I ****ed up and didn't make a backup.
I wiped the phone clean from bootloader recovery, but then realized I had forgotten to move the new gapps and cm rom to my phone.
When I plug it in, it is recognized by my computer, but the HTC MTP Device fails to work.
I can't see the phone, and therefore can't put anything on it to flash. If I mount the phone via the bootloader, it pops up in Windows and wants to be formatted.
I have been looking around and trying different things for the past couple hours, and figured it was time to ask someone who might know..
Any ideas?

I don't understand why I can't mount or access the phone. Do I not have the right drivers installed?
Is there any way to get around this and put the files on my phone so I can install any old ROM so I can boot it up again??
You need to update the drivers on your PC, there's a few threads on how to do it. You should still be able to use adb push to add files, though.
Drivers are fine ! Go in recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device ! In the title you speak of a HTC one......so is it a ONE or a ONE X ?
Thanks for replying!
It is an HTC One X. Should I just install the Android SDK bundle? Or are there other drivers?
Android sdk bundle is good. But you have MYHTC so that's correct. You need to go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb storage device, it will show the drive in windows and then you can copy a rom onto it.

Hi, so I installed the newest HTC driver (4.2) and all the SDK bundles. When I plug the phone it, it still won't recognize the HTC MTP Device. When I mount from the bootloader, it doesn't let me mount the sdcard (only the system data and cache), and Windows still shows a drive that needs to be formatted.
Do you think it's still a Windows driver I'm missing? If I go Terminal Command on phone it says
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.
What's the option called you tap inside recovery. And what recovery are you using ?
If it's CWM you go to mounts and storage and tap the last option in that list.....then wait till it pops up on the pc
I'm using TWRP v 2.4.2.0 and I couldn't check the box for mount sdcard.
ADB push worked!
But the ROM failed. Is there anything else I'm missing?
It still says that E: can't mount.
Try this recovery please, i know this one blinded

Firstly thank you so much for taking time to help a lost stranger out!
What I did was reformat the J: drive that popped up on Windows, then I was able to put both the CM10.2 and GAPPS on the /sdcard/ (it would then mount)
I could then install both of them successfully, but I don't have a boot.img because my kernel is wiped. Will that file work as a boot.img?

I found two other boot.img files on the webs (boot.img and cm10.img), but I don't know how to get the phone to actually boot off them
The boot.img has to be flashed via Fastboot in the bootloader. So if you installed CM correctly via the recovery then flash the boot.img from the CM.zip ....
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And a kernel can't be wiped via the recovery by the way. You can only delete/overwrite it via Fastboot commands

Okay! That's good
I think it flashed correctly, now I am just waiting for the phone to boot up. It's been going for about 25 minutes though. Should it be that long?
Nope not good.......make a full wipe in recovery before installing the rom.
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage-format cache,data,system
Then install CM and gapps then reboot because you already flashed its boot.img

None of the ROMs I've tried have worked! I think it's because my hboot is version 1.14.
Lol dude you have the evita go to the HTC one XL forum. You are in the completely wrong forum......sorry !!!

Stuck yet again.
I relocked the phone to flash new firmware, but I have CID 1111111, so I can't find anything to unlock the bootloader again.
Double sauced. Ahhhhhh
Unlock the bootloader by flashing the unlock_Code.bin file wich you got the first time when it's unlocked.
Fastboot flash token unlock_code.bin
But you really should continue this in the right forum. Flashing stuff from here may brick the phone !
Dear XDA-members,
This afternoon, I tried to root mij HTC One X and flash it to Cyanogenmod 10.2. During the flashing, I made the mistake to forget to put the boot.img and Google Apps files on my SD card. During the rom installation, I got stuck in the splash screen. For this reason, I formatted my SD kaart in the CWM recoveryscreen but now my phone doesn't have any rom at all. When I turn on my phone, I only get to see the white HTC screen. When I try to connect my phone to my pc, it doesn't get recognized. I just want to get my stock ROM back again to get my phone working. I do have acces to the CWM recoveryscreen.
I downloaded the fastboot and RUU files, but fastboot won't recognize my device through the commandscreen. This is why I can't put the RUU files on my phone.
Can someone please help me? I don't have a clue what to try next to save my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Can you mount storage in recovery ? If you can....
Mount storage in recovery and copy/paste rom and kernel on SD, flash rom and kernel, than flash boot.img via fastboot.
Can u do any fastboot commands while phone is on bootloader?
Sent from my HTC One X
Thanks for the quick responses!
Unfortunately, I can't mount storage in recovery so I can't acces my SD card.
I can, however, access the fastboot menu so it's possible to do fastboot commands and get into the CWM menu.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Flash this recovery and you can mount the sd
Thanks, but can you explain how to do that?
I don't think I can use fastboot because my phone doesn't get recognized, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
OK, I found a way to do that via fastboot, but I couldn't mount it just like in CWM. I did download a RUU.exe because I figured that fastboot is working for me! So I tried to install the stock ROM using the RUU.exe and fastboot, but the flashing progress was aborted because apparantly that RUU version was older than the one on my phone. I googled for a newer one, but there are no newer .exe files and according to others I should use a nandroid backup zip file.
How should I do that? Or is there any way that I can make the RUU.exe I downloaded work, because it seemed to me that the program worked fine except for the older version part. Or is it the easiest to flash Cyanogenmod, I've got those files on my pc as well. I wouldn't know how to do that, just by flashing boot.img from the zip file? I really hope you can help me out!
Further notes: during the RUU installation progress, CWM and Philz were wiped from the SD card and I had to relock my phone. I don't know if any of that should cause a problem though.
Flash that philz, enter recovery. Put in the usb cable and mount. Wait until the sdcard pops up on windows. Can take minutes......but works for sure !
Thank you, I'll try that tonight! Then, what kind of files should I copy on the SD card? And can I use the Cyanogenmod files as well as the stock ones? Lastly, do I need to unlock my phone again?
Unlock, flash recovery, flash boot.img, make a full wipe, install CM, install GAPPS ..... reboot
OK, so just to get it straight:
First I unlock it, then flash philz via fastboot. Then enter recovery mode and mount USB. After that, I copy the Cyanogenmod boot.img and the GApps file on the SD card. Lastly, I install the boot.img file via the Philz recovery program and then the GApps, and I reboot.
Is this right or should I do something different?
Thank you so much!
Cm.zip to sdcard, boot.img flash via fastboot. Install CM.zip and gapps via recovery.
Two last questions:
Which boot.img file do I need to use? The one from the CM.zip?
And how should I do the full wipe?
Also, I can not flash my phone because it won't charge properly... When I connect it to the charger, it will charge and I see the red light. After a while, the battery drains and gets empty, while still seeing the red light. I put it on the charger all night and it was totally empty when I checked this morning. Do you have an idea how I can deal with this?
If you can get into philz recovery. Leave it there. The battery charges inside of it.
And yes always boot.img of the rom.zip you want to install.

I can not flash Philz yet because the bootloader is still locked. It has charged enough now, but when I try to unlock it by typing 'fastboot flash unlock unlock_code.bin' it says:
Sending 'unlock' (0 KB)... OKAY [0.009]
Writing 'unlock' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. Total time: 0.219s
Could it be that I need to get a new unlock_code.bin? Now I use the same one as when I first tried to lock it. Or do I need to type another command for reunlocking? The status on my phone still says relocked...
Command is not correct
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

Thank you so much, it worked!
CM10.2 is installed, I've got only one more problem...
When I boot it, and pass the setup wizard, the phone keeps popping up the same message:
Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped. Every second it pops up.
I can acces various programs, so that works, except for that message.
Do you happen to know a solution for that as well?
Anyway, thank you again for your help!
Installed gapps ? The correct one ? Made a proper full wipe full before installing the rom !

Yes, I got it to work. Now I've got a new problem... For one afternoon, my phone worked perfectly, but since that evening, now two days ago, I can't connect with my mobile services. I can't call, go on internet (only via WiFi), and when I try to create a new APN, it doesn't show. I tried it with two different SIM cards, neither work. Also my battery drains very fast and when I take a look at my battery app it doesn't show Google play services from which I heard is a common cause

okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
Cheers
