ClockworkMod recovery and HTC One X

Right, I've had a look around the forum a bit now for help with my issue but decided it's time to post my own thread.
I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back installed clockwork recovery and CM 9. I now want to upgrade to the latest version of CM but my recovery won't boot up...
I've tried downloading the CWM manager to my phone and re flashing from there and tried flashing other recovers and yet it still tried Clock work mod flashes on and immediately off and my phone reboots...
Can anyone lend me their knowledge?
Thanks.

Put recovery.img in the fastboot folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open dosprompt ( cmd prompt )
Go to fastboot folder
Type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
And then enter recovery
I suggest you flash the latest cmw recovery 5.8.4.0

Currently at work so will try this when i get back home.
Although, im sure this is the process i followed when trying to fix the problem before posting this thread.
Will update.

i have the htc AT&T and everytime i load clockworkmod it just boots to the htc logo and stays there
twrp will take but it wont work right, "Failed to mount cache"

If its getting messy. Download the recovery and flash it via the htc one x toolkit in dev section. No commands just clicking LOL.
You put the zip into the recovery folder.connect yoir phone then just flash recovery. Personally twrp recovery works better. More options..

Twrp is failing too, I even locked the bootloader ran ruu then unlocked and rooted, Twrp let me root but won't install another rom. Fails to mount cache.
I guess at least I have root though

[Q] I did a really stupid thing (Formatted HTC One X ... completely)

So yeah ... Hi
Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.
When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.
Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.
I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.
Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard

How can I do that if I can not get it onto my phone?
Because there is absolutely nothing there no rom nothing except clockwork mod 5.8.2.7 and the bootloader.

Download it from clockworkmods official site. In bootloader's fastboot mode, flash it using
"fastboot flash recovery filename.zip"

Can you give me a little bit more information about how to do this and what to watch out for. Like how much percent of my battery do I still need to have, stuff like that.
Thanks in advance

Just to clear up any misreads or anything, the original HTC sense is also no longer available.

You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.
Good luck

Download this recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)
Flash it with fastboot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"
Should do it !

Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?

Hboot version?

2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation

hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong?

That only applies to Sense ROMs.
On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.
It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version.

OH!! About the fact that nonSense roms work only on older HBOOT i knew, but i didn't know that CM is a one XD
so....I can't install the CM10 on my HOX with 1.36 HBOOT? bummer >< i wanted to try it ^^
Do you happen to experience developing roms? i need some help if you can

Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.
I am not a rom developer, but feel free to ask whatever you want.
PM me so we don't bloat up this thread.

Ok guys, thanks for all the awesome advice.
At the moment I am able to connect to my pc and able so that issieu has already been fixed
But yeah I'm stuck at the HTC boot up screen and I used to be stuck at a bootloop of CM10 before I flashed boot.img
I hope you guys know a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

Question about the One X and forum...

I have a few questions since I'm fairly new to the forum...
1) What's the difference between the HTC One X development forum and the One X original development forum? Is it to do with concurrent development updates and stability with the latter being approved as 'Stable' in the sense of the word? Or am I mixed up...?
2) My CID is HTC_001, I have S-ON and HWBOOT 1.39.0000 with the phone rooted. Am I prepped and ready for installing a custom ROM?
3)Regarding the recovery, I presume you use the backup & recovery in the BOOTLOADER to create a recovery file before installing the custom ROM?
I appreciate the help chaps,
:good:

I believe that the original forum is more for the pure android versions without FOR instance touchwiz. (Not sure if I'm right) if a Rom is stable it will usually be mentioned in the corresponding thread and it will also say what works and what is broken in the Rom.
you seem ready for a custom rom because I have hboot 1.39 as well. As long as it is unlocked and have a custom recovery you can flash away. As for your third question, no, you use the backup and restore option in your custom recovery for instance clockworkmod or twrp. Some advice: always flash the corresponding boot.img from your rom.

So by "Pure Android", do you essentially mean ROMS that are more true to form with less customization layered over the top? If so, which one would you recommend and does it matter which one you use from either one of the forums as-long as you meet the pre-requisites?
Now, what do you mean by custom recovery, how do I know if I have it or how do I do it? Sorry, but I'm a bit of a pleb so simpleton english please :cyclops:

Also if you are fairly new I suggest you flash the viper rom, it has htc sense and all the tweaks a man needs.
Copy zip to phone
Make sure you have the right boot.img to flash in the fastboot folder its in the zip
Full wipe if coming from other Rom
Flash rom
Flash boot.img by using: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
And it should boot up nicely, this if you already unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery

Ohhhhh, I get it now... So as-well as unlocking the phone to ROOT, you also have to overwrite the stock recovery on the phone with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 Okokok, so that's the 'Custom' recovery. Roger

Yes. You seem to get the hang of it. Before flashing a recovery let me try to get ahold of Mr. Hofs, he has a recovery file that supports touch which you need for some Rom installations. Ill get back at you.
Btw if you are already on a custom recovery by now, immediatly make a nandroid backup and also copy it to your pc. If anything happens and you do not have a nandroid backup things could get way harder than they should

That one I linked is touch isn't it? Atleast, the title says "9/6 Mandatory Update Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0" which would lead me to believe so....

Yes but I believe people have reported that touch didn't work. The one with touch you can flash over cwm later and you'll lose no data at all. I'm on my htc atm so its hard to find links for you. The recovery I'm using is philz touch recovery which is also cwm based
I contacted Mr hofs for you for the link if you can't come across it on the forums good luck its bed time for me now

Edit: I remember now, htc brought out some kind of update which made touch unusable in cwm. I highly recommend philz touch recovery

Oh noes... You said to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now my phone keeps booting into recovery. 'Boot' should be 'Recovery' after some research! What do I do now!!??
Edit: Oh ****. I just flashed my 'boot' with the recovery .img - What should I do now?

Can you describe exactly what you did? Did you install the boot.img in cwm?

If your phone can only reboot into recovery the only thing that is left to do is install a custom rom. You can also go back to stock if you manage to get the correct RUU OR if you find your stock boot.img which you just replaced. What I would do is flash a sense based rom, flash the boot image, fastboot erase cache and let it boot up, if it boots make a nandroid backup immediatly. as I am no expert choosing the right RUU I cannot help you get back to stock.. I haven't quiet gotten to the RUU part myself.
To flash a recovery : fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Flash a kernel/boot.img: fastboot flash boot bootname.img
Fastboot erase cache
Ofc change recoveryname to the name ur recovery has or change the name to recovery.img makes it easier

[Q] Installing Viper x 4.0.0 Sense 5 problem

I have installed Viper X 4.0.0 using a full wipe and after it has successfully installed and reboots the phone does not proceed post the HTC white boot screen. I had left the phone on that screen for more than 10 minutes before rebooting back to recovery. I have now reverted back to fresh install of 3.8.0 and all is working.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated

same problem, i already flashed kernel then flashed ROM, but it's always stuck ini HTC logo or even worst just restarting into the same HTC logo..
please help

A bit late to the show but...
Remember that not just do you have to install the ROM, but you need to flash the boot.img too. Yes, this is a two-step process!
Easy...Install ROM from CWM or equivalent. Also, you must extract the boot.img from the ViperX4.x.x.zip file on your PC.
Copy the boot.img to your fastboot folder (you have one more than likely on your PC if you followed just about any thread ever...).
Flash this file to your phone (after fastboot usb selected) by typing from CMD Prompt: flashboot flash boot boot.img
