[Q] Can someone help me. I need to access the SD Card on my bricked HTC One X

Hello people, this is my first post and an urgent one at that.
Pretty much what has happened is I have one of the most recent Cyanogen Mod 10 ROMS for my HTC One X and while I was browsing the phone turned off. I tried to turn it on but it refused and I had to do the plug into computer and quickly switch to power supply trick to get it working, before I figured out who to do that I managed to get into the bootloader > CWM and reinstall the ROM. It crashed while installing that ROM causing the problem I believe I have now.
My problem is this:
I have a corrupt ROM and I can't get into my SD card to be able to reinstall it. I have no idea how I can access it, everytime I plug my usb into the pc it detects an unknown device and doesn't go further. I've played around with adb and that won't detect my device either, I need a way to get this working again. All I need is to mount my SD and then I can fix it myself.
Thanks for any help people can contribute.

Can you get into cwm ? If so connect your USB and go to manage storage I think that's what its called and select USB storage and from there does your computer detect it now ?

Have you installed HTC Sync? Try reinstall, new version came out recently.

[Q] Android File Transfer? Why?

Guys, I'm back again with another dumb question.
While running ICS 4.0.4 on my HTC One X, I was very happy that the phone was connecting to each computer as external USB storage.
Lately the phone received the JB update, which made the OS 4.1.1
Since then, when I connect the phone to Mac it requires Android File Transfer, which is simply POS from my point of view; totally impractical.
And when I connect the phone to Windows, it behaves like a camera but like Android File Transfer window, quite useless and file types are not being recognized properly, icons look different then what they actually are, etc...
What happened to the phone, anyone knows?
Android upgrade changes the previous nice connection type, I guess...
But is there any chance to go back to that type of connection while running JB?
Cheers.

You just answered your own question.
No way to revert back.
I can however recommend airdroid for ota file transfer

Thanks.
I was hoping to read answers about a tool requiring root access or a tweak kind of way to change it...
Anyway, I'll see what Airdriod is as you've recommended.

you can still use your phone as mass storage. you just need to update your htc sync manager and enable usb debugging in your phone.

Thanks. May I ask for more details?
I'd of course try what you suggest before asking you back if I had the chance however, I'm not in a position to do it right now, sorry for bothering...
Am I correct to assume that the solution you're suggesting is affecting only the workstation on which there is HTC Sync Mgr is possibly installed?
I mean, is this going to change the behavior of the phone permanently or is it going to solve the issue between the phone and the particular computer?
I'm using the phone as external storage to transfer files between computers, on which I'm not workstation administrator, therefore I have no chance to install HTC apps on the computers I'm referring to.
Damn, Android is getting easier and better but how about this?
Do you happen to know the reason for Google to change this?

I think you should blame htc not google because on non sense rom storage have not changed.
and it's my problem too. mass storage on sense jb rom would be very better.

[Q] HTC One X Jelly Bean ain't recognized any more

Hi !
I just updated my HTC One X to the Jelly Bean version, and I want to root it. I already unlocked the bootloader before updating it to JB, but I never rooted it. I'm having trouble get it fully recognized as before by my computer. The USB connection menu has changed, and doesn't have the old few modes, I now only have options about Wi-Fi hotspot, USB network and Bluetooth tehering. Plus the factthat my phone ain't recognized as an SD Card any more, but as a Camera.
I tried different methods (The one-click root, the toolkit a member developed) to root my One X, but no one works and it seems to always fail to detect my device. Even if a lot of people say that the rooting methos is the same for JB and for ICS, I can't manage to do it. (I already rooted my last phone, an htc Sensation). Plus the fact that I'm learning how to develop Android apps on Eclipse, and my phone ain't recognized since JB any more.
Yes, I have enabled USB Debugging. The only one moment something seems to work is in recovery mode when I select fastboot, my phone shows "FASTBOOT USB". But I'm totally unable to control it by USB. I looked up on this forum but I didn't find an answer to solve my problem. :/

Do you have an HTC One X, or an HTC One XL (Evita). This section is for the HTC One Xl, or the Evita.

Oh, you're right, I have the HTC One X, not an XL nor Evita. Thought I was on the right place cause this forum was simple "One X Q&A". Is there a way to move this thread to the right section ?

Not really, but a mod may help. Don't stress to much about it - the worse thing you've done is made everyone jealous of Jellybean! The forums for the 2 devices are very confusing....

Thread moved to the correct One X (endeavor) Q&A

Thanks !
I'm still looking for some help, I don't manage do make it work :/

Een jellybean does not support flash drive storage as before. Now it is only a mtp connection. So it is normal what you see.
The root method is indeed the same as ICS

Thannks, so I know at least that the MTP connexion is normal.
But that doesn't change my problem for making my phone recognized by my computer in USB Debug mode.

hi! I have the exact same problem! And when recognised as a camera, no files show up. I'm using win xp and no additional drivers for One X installed... (at least I believe so)

Tried updating to the latest version of HTC Sync?
It updates the latest drivers. and try keeping the USB mode to "Smart Network Sharing" after that.
It worked for me.

Ditto nayaknish.
Note that for XP it's no good just updating HTC Sync and drivers - you have to deinstall HTC Sync and the HTC drivers completely, reboot PC, install HTC Sync afresh, min release 1.1.66.0, then reboot PC again before it will behave properly. After this I got HTC Sync back, and two USB drives in explorer for copying data to and from, all working OK. Didn't have to set USB mode to Smart Network Sharing though - it's set to "None" on mine.

so, can you see thumbnails of photos when you access your phone as an external usb drive (i.e. from "My Computer").
I don't have HTC sync installed, just managed to update the drivers somehow, but no thumbnails, although I can copy the files to and fro...

Still a problem

Hi
Latest HTC Sync does allow me access to photo and music files, but still doesn't allow use as a mass storage device. And when I connect to my car USB I get "Device Unreadable"
HTC have told me that clearing the cache would fix it, but it hasn't.
I do hope some clever dev can come up with a fix, otherwise we'll have to wait for HTC to come up with an update.

I am having this same problem, but only after I unlocked the boot loader and rooted my M8. I can get the phone to at least recognize one of my USB thumb drives, but it's a 32gb capacity and the phone sees it as less than 200mb. Any help would be most appreciated!

Try to connect first the thumb drive to the otg adapter, and only then connect it to the phone.
It should be mounted to storage/usb.
I use es explorer.

After doing some searching and a bit of reading, I found u need USB host mode drivers.
Currently I have CM11 BR4 rom, am S-Off, and my recovery is TWRP 2.7.10.
Anyone has any input on this?

Go download SVHD rom. I believe it has OTG present by default.
Download it from Here

Thx. Too bad the rom you mentioned has been discontinued.
And I am happy with the current rom I have to switch to another one at the moment just to get the USB host option.
