[Q] Stuck on HTC screen - HTC One X

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this so I'm just going to state my issue and hopefully I can get some help!
I recently rooted this phone and installed the Viper2 rom for the HTC one x.
I realized that mobile data doesn't work on this rom for me so I decided to "restore" using clockwork and hoping to restore my phone to the "Stock"
So I went through clock work -> restore -> restore back to previous date-> after that I rebooted.
After rebooting, the phone is stuck at the HTC screen. I cannot access anything else except the "power" + "down button volume screen".
Thanks again for the help!

flash boot.img located in clockwardmod/backups folder on sdcard, you can mount USB storage in recovery.

Thanks for the reply! Can you explain to me how you would do that? I'm not too sure what you mean. Like what do I input in the CMD command prompt?

the boot.img is in the backup.zip file, then type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
reboot and you're done

For some reason when I power off the phone and plug in the charger, it doesn't charge..
I tried to fastboot flash path/to/boot.img and it says "error: cannot load path/to/boot.img"
Yes I have a previous backup in my clockwork, I have tried restoring it and then starting my phone and it doesn't work.

of course it isn't working, you need to flash its boot.img first...you can find the boot.img in the backup folder on your phone, copy it to your computer and retry

Sorry I don't know if this is a stupid question, but I can't even access files on my phone because it's stuck and the USB driver doesn't load onto the computer.

ok, you should try charging your phone, sometimes the recovery gives these errors cause there's battery low... so you can't charge battery while it is powered off?

Yeah I can charge it now. It works.
So i rooted my phone through the onexroot website.
What i've been doing before is loading my rom and if something doesn't work/ I just restore and it restores back to the last time i restored it.
but this time I was on the ViperX rom for a day or so and I tried to restore it again like usual but it didn't work this time. Just to give you some background if it wasn't clear earlier.
Thanks again for putting the time in to help me. It's a new phone and I really want it to work again.

Keeps cycling through CWM

Just got a One X.
Unlocked the boot loader.
Installed CWM (v5.8.4.0 from fast boot)
Then when i navigate to the rom it says its completed update? seems to take only 30 seconds when I reboot it brings me back in CWM.
Basically I can mount the phone phone through clock work mod and see the rom/zip file but it installs as update and just keeps popping back into clockwork mod? am I able to just get this back to normal?
finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
finishes after 15 seconds? saying install from sdcard complete. have I missed a step?
Help me please guys I feel the information I followed as done away with a boot.img?
Cheers,

Did you flash the boot image of the rom??

I extracted the boot image from the downloaded rom and placed that in to the fastboot folder? I followed these instructions mate, I think ive messed up the boot?
Copy the CM10 ZIP file to your phone’s internal SD card.
On the PC, extract the Fasboot.zip. You will get a folder named Fastboot.
Extract the boot.img file from the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file and place it into the Fastboot folder.
Turn your phone off.
Boot to Fastboot Mode. Hold down the Volume Down and the Power buttons until the screen turns on to enter Bootloader Mode.
In Bootloader Mode, highlight Fastboot Mode using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button.
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate it to the Fastboot folder.
In the command prompt, type fastboot devices to check if your device has successfully connected to your PC. Your phone’s serial number should appear on the screen.
Flash the boot.img by typing the following in the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go back to your phone and select Bootloader to go back to the main Bootloader menu.
In Bootloader Mode, highlight Recovery using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Select Wipe data/factory reset > Yes.
Select Install ZIP from SD card > Choose ZIP from SD card > select the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file > Yes.
Select Go back > Reboot system now.
Ive then updated to a newer cwm as per this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
I dont think i can enter fast boot no longer? I can still mount things, but dont know what else.

selsct reboot system.
As soon as the phone reboots press the vol down + power buttons, and phone will reboot into bootloader.
Also if that isnt working, connect phone to pc and in cmd enter 'fastboot reboot bootloader'

so now im in fastboot usb do i just flash the boot.img from the rom.zip folder?
That then loads a android screen with animation, but I assume I then need to install the rom?
yep...
also after flashing boot, type 'fastboot erase cache' (just in case)

What I dont understand and please correct me, is how come the phones running if I have not installed an rom? I mean i thought id wiped everything and only installed a boot image? yet i am able to use it?
I just entered fastboot reboot not the erase? should i go back through and do it? cheers for the help too. I thought i'd wasted £200

Your bootloader and recovery are independent of your rom. you will be able to access them even without a rom installed.
the erase cache fuction is not necessary.
Just flash your boot image again.. and try installing the rom again.

Also have you updated your hboot?? or is it the old one?
I dont think I updated the hboot? should I bother?
I am using the CM10 rom? I know its down to each tastes and requirement but is this a decent one? phone runs smoother than my LG 4X HD P880 despite that scoring more in benchmarks.
I still technically have not installed the rom through CWM? I just used cmd prompt to flash a boot image then it started up.

You can update the hboot if you want. All the sense based JB roms work only on the upgraded hboot. Though AOSP roms work on all hboots. So upto you.

[Q] HOX boots to recovery! Help?

How did you flash TWRP when you don't know how to use fastboot?
Download this : http://d-h.st/8Jr.. extract it somewhere in your pc.. and this http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=4944 (Non touch CWM)... rename it to recovery.img and put it in your fastboot folder...
Hold down your Power and vol down button till your phone gets into bootloader... Now select 'fastboot'... and then connect your phone to your PC... the mobile screen should read 'fastboot USB'
Now run the following commands by opening cmd window from fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
This will install CWM recovery on your phone... now try rebooting your phone...

Your talking about this app right? : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate
From the app FAQs:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

Try wiping cache/dalvic and then reboot... not sure it will help though.. just a guess... Did you read the FAQ? Try doing that... Vol button thing...
If you still can't boot into rom.. then wait for the experts to reply or simply flash the ROM again by full wipe... This will surely fix the problem lol.. but you will loose user app data :/

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.

[Q] No CWM just HTC boot screen

So, I tried to get the latest Cyanogenmod on my phone.
Resulted in the the process com.android.phone has stopped issue.
FInally managed to get around that but no my phone is stuck with no CWM, no USB Windows fileshare and a HTC bootscreen.
I have searched, and read a lot of posts and the closes thing to recovery is a post on putting on a Nandroid backup for my Y13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140)
But, since I have no USB fileshare I am unable to get it on the phone and start the process.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I need to completely wipe and reinstall everything but has no access other that fastboot USB.
What info should I post and how do I find it if more is needed.

Thanks Thant!
So, I have downloaded Philz, I think I have flashed the recovery.img file over to the phone from CMD shell window.
I have rebooted my phone to fastboot menu and selectet recovery.
The result is still the same. Just the htc boot screen.
I`m sure I`m doing something wrong but cant figure out how. Philz How to uses USB / PC file transfer so I`m unable to use it as a step by step.
Would really appreciate a step by step command overview. If possible with an explanation so that I learn why I do the different commands. Then I wont be so f.. ignorant about these things anymore. Hopefully

Thanks, but the phone is completely dead and unable to boot.
There is no power and the phone won`t charge so I guess it`s a gonner.

Stuck on HTC screen

My phone is stuck on the white screen where it says HTC one powered by android. When I plug it in the charger the led doesn't turn on. It's s-off, unlocked and rooted. I recently got a oneplus and I did a factory reset on the m8 and left it in the box with about 60% battery left. Power and volume down doesn't work. Haven't tried adb cause I'm at work. Is there an explanation as to why my m8 just won't go past the white screen?

Did you try a "hard reset" ? Hold Volume UP + Power Button for at least 10 seconds it should hard reboot the phone, can then immediately press Volume Down + Power to boot into bootloader.

So I'm able to get into recovery. Tried rebooting there and sent me back to the white screen. Tried wiping but it failed.

Do you have adb installed? Maybe you could do a logcat and just share the .txt file.
Code:
adb logcat -v long > booterror.txt
(Or whatever you want to name it...)
It'll make a logcat and output it to folder where your adb is located. Enter the code and hit enter then start the device it'll start recording from the bootloader. We can check if maybe it tosses out some errors for you. Just hit CTRL + C to stop the log when satisfied.
Else you can try a restore from a nandroid backup, seeing as you already did a factory reset and probably wiped all your data

Thanks for your help. I can't flash anything right now because I'm at work. Can I flash a ROM via adb?

Yes, here is a guide to some flashing Flashing Guide - Android
Near the bottom you can see flashing for fastboot.
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
Code:
fastboot -w

Update your ROM.
Code:
fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>

Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.

Or can I push the file into my phone using fast boot? Since I can't get into the home screen.

From where did you try to run this, within the recovery? Also you were in adb folder I assume

Did it say why it failed?
If you're going with another ROM, wipe again, flash the boot.img(extracted from ROM) first then boot into recovery and flash again.

Yeah it was within recovery but I didn't do side load. I was in the adb folder. Every time I try to wipe it fails as well. It says it can't mount data. Every time I hold power and volume up it just tasked me to the HTC screen

Did you mount data with adb?
Try again maybe. Place your ROM in the adb folder, open command window in adb folder. Have phone connected to computer and of course booted into recovery mode.
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Have you tried some of the other methods in that flashing guide I linked? You could also try and reformat the SD Card and see if it won't fix whatever problem it has, of course remove the ROM first if you have it on there.
