Stuck, bootloops, can't flash any ROM - HTC One X

Hey there,
So I've been messing with my One X for a few days trying to eventually install Android Revolution HD. I did successfully root it and unlock it, then I messed with the recovery image a bit (I don't remember exactly the sequence of events here), and now I'm stuck. When I select "RECOVERY" from the HBOOT screen, I get a bootloop. When my phone tries to self-update, it reboots into a bootloop. When I try to flash it back to stock to start over, either the phone is not recognized, or the flash fails in some other way. Other than that, my phone works just fine; I'm just not able to flash any new mods or update or use ClockworkMod or do any of those things. How can I get unstuck? What would a factory reset do?

So your bootloader is unlocked ....
Flash the custom recovery again :
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
After that :
Fastboot erase cache
Hope this helps getting in recovery.
What does your cmd prompt say after fastboot flash ... it will give you a fail or succes prompt !

Maybe the problem is this: There is no official ClockworkMod recovery for the AT&T HTC One X. I must have installed a bad one.
What recovery image should I use for the AT&T One X?
Edit: Oh, apparently there's a separate forum for the AT&T One X. Disregard this, I'll ask over there.

Can't get Clockwork recovery to boot

I used this guide to root and install clockwork recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
after following the instructions, I rebooted my phone and selected recovery. However all I see is an HTC screen that says this ROM is for development purposes only yada yada yada. I have tried re-flashing clockwork a few times and it still always does this when I select recovery. Can anybody help?
I flashed the attached clockworkmod recovery yesterday without issue.
Unzip the attached archive and put the recovery.img in your fastboot folder, then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
does say your phone security warning or so in fastboot?
STOP!
Does your bootloader say EVITA or ENDEAVORU?
What was the outcome of this? Did you get it going?

I did get everything working. The problem was I was trying to flash International One X ROMs to my AT&T One X. Lucky I didn't brick it if you ask me... I re-locked the phone and started from scratch with the right ROMs and everything worked great
I flash too and every thing is good, cwm work well

[Q] Problem with recovery and rooting

Hi,
i've got my One V 2 days ago and i try to root it now
i have unlocked my phone successfully, but now i can't get any step further.
(if i'm in h-boot it says *** Unlocked *** )
I tried the all_in_one_kid_2.1 to flash a recovery, tried to do it manually via fastboot and tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964, i also tried to install cwm trough its App.
While i try to push and install my recovery (cwm or openrecovery twrp) it stucks, my phone freezes and i have to restart it with this virtual accupull (you know, hold the shutdown-key just very long)
here is the fastboot way:
fastboot devices
FA28MTV00376 fastboot
(so i think, the phone has gone into fastboot-mode and is avaiable for fastboot)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5464 KB)...
(well it stucks just here for 30+min i had to reboot the phone completely after this.
all other ways i tried just react the same way. i dunno if i have missed something but, as i understood this process, i unlock the bootloader via htc (wich i did successfully) and then i install just a recovery, or do i have to do something between this too steps?

Try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747168&highlight=easy+kernel-recovery+flasher
It's working, no matter if it's discontinued, just try. Worked and still working for me for changing kernels and recovery.
For recovery, go for TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2, select primou or CDMA - what you have (as you're from Germany you have probably Primou) and install through flasher...
But, I would first update all HTC drivers in PC - instal HTC Sync Manager, it comes with newest drivers: http://www.htc.com/www/support/news.aspx?p_id=439&p_name=htc-one-v (later, you can uninstall manager and just keep drivers...)
Think also about kernel... Sometimes stock kernel is not the good idea. Try Hellboy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967
Hope that it will help... :fingers-crossed:
My thread has all the things u require...just check it out

hey What rom are you wanting specifically I can give you a step by step guide on how to root the htc one v without worrying about bricking your phone at all and it will not be confusing like most of the walkthroughs to rooting your device
Hey guys, thanks for your help, i finally figured it out, the problem was my pc, seems that there is a problem with my drivers, i tryed it on another PC and fastboot worked flawless. I rooted several different phones and tablets in the last year without a problem, so i thought it has to do with the phone /rooting process itself.
Finally, i think it has to do with vmware and its sphereclient, its the last software i can remember, that is new. Besides, everytime i plug in a usb-device Windows installs some vmware-usb-support-driver. Well in the end it worked. i just have to figure out how to close this topic. :laugh:
I dunno, what rom i will use in the future, i've made the experiance that its the best to try a few, guess i will find "my" rom (or developer) pretty soon.
Thanks,
DerMitDemPunkt
Just remember hit thanks to whomever helped you and very glad to try and help

Phone stuck in htc logo while rooting

Hello.
I try root my htc One X international, i unlock bootloader, then i use r3 endeavour insecurebootandroot , and in a middle of rooting cmd on my computer just shut off, and phone stuck on htc logo, since then i can't turn it on , all i can do is use power and volume down, i try factory reset, didn't help, phone still stuck on htc logo, when i try recovery, i get phone lay on back, with red triangle on it.
please, can anyone know how to fix it ? htc always was pain in ass to root, but this time i stuck. Many threads are similar, but mostly people stuck after they already rooted and flash rom, i don't go that far, not sure phone is even rooted, but bootloader is unlocked so far.

Mate, it sounds like your system is wiped, so the phone can't boot. Do you have any experience with fastboot and ADB commands?
If so, download a custom recovery (CWM, or TWRP, or Phil'z touch - recommended), place it in your fastboot folder, and type:
fastboot flash recovery downloadedrecoveryname.img in CMD window.
This wil enable you to use custom recovery.
Hopefully, you already have a custom ROM which you want to install. Extract boot.img from the ROM.zip, and place it in your fastboot older, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img in CMD window, followed by fastboot erase cache.
Then, reboot to your recovery, and flash ROM.zip (I guess you don't need any specific instructions for that).

No, mate.
The ROM.zip goes to your sd card.
You can copy it through recovery, but mounting sd card.
In recovery you have all these options. Also, in ROM's thread (whichever you chose to flash) there is thorough instruction how to flash ROM.

You are welcome, mate. I'm glad it worked for you. Enjoy your HOX, it's a great phone, and Viper is a great ROM.
I suggest you flash Alex V kernel. It will bring more nice features to your phone

[Q] BootLoop problem for Telus HTC One X

So I decided to root my HTC One X for the first time and install a custom ROM. I had unlocked the bootloader and added clockworkmod recovery, I had also created a back up. When I went to install Android Revolution HD I watched the video it provided and did everything exactly but what it didn't show was that I had to install the rom's zip file into my internal SD card before flashing the ROM and now it is stuck in a bootloop. I tried to fix it by clearing cashes, restoring, etc but now when I try to enter recovery through bootloader the phone just shuts off after it shows the splash screen. I was wondering if anyone would know how to excess the recovery through another means, I also tried used the "adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but it says device not found.

Please make sure if ur phone is EndeavorU or Evita...
and reply.
You mean you have a telsus AT&T variant phone. Codename EVITA ? check your bootloader and what it says there. Entering the recovery should be fixed with
Fastboot erase cache
And don't put ADB in front. That's the wrong command.
And if you have the evita you are in the wrong forum. If that's the case you have to flash roms and recoverys from the HTC one XL forum !
I just remembered that Telus HOX is HOXL,
Here where u should search for ur ROMs and Recoveries:

I do have the evita but it said HTC One X on their site and when I checked the system information before I rooted it, I guess that might be why the ROM never worked. The main problem I have is that when I go into bootloader and select recovery the phone just shuts off so I can't access the recovery.
Well this is not the place to continue. Go to the xl forum and download a recovery from a link they provide there and try and continue the issues there
Cheers and good luck

[Q] Clean to install new ROM on Philz recovery. Now I have no OS

I was getting random reboots and I tried to delete everything. I thought "clean to install new ROM" would just do a thorough cleaning.
When I try to boot it stays on the white HTC screen.
I can boot into the recovery and Squabbi's HTC One M8 toolkit reads it.
However, I have no idea what files to flash or even HOW to flash them so I can get an OS back on my phone. Can somebody please help?
edit: i have no ADB experience

Is your device S-off or S-on? You must have at least a little ADB experience since you have a custom recovery which requires an unlocked bootloader, or did you get the phone that way?
I've only tried Philz recovery twice...
BOTH times it bricked my phone. I have four letters for you...T W R P!!!
Good luck by the way
