[Q] One x keeps rebooting after installing kernel

Please help!
I`ve installed a stock kernel because the previous kernel wasn't working well, but now my phone keeps rebooting.
It starts up and after the "htc one x" logo is showed it reboots.
This is the kernel I've installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692404&page=2
And I'm using a stock ROM (1.29)
I'm sorry for asking, but I'm not that experienced with loading kernels so I'm a little stressed out that I've bricked my phone or something..
Can someone please ~give advise?

did u flash the modules?
sent from my CHARRED ONE X~ and click THANKS if I helped.

There are essentially three steps to flashing a new kernel:
Flash the new kernel using fastboot flash boot filename.img
Erase cache using fastboot erase cache
Reboot into recovery and push the new kernel's modules by installing the .ZIP file from your device's SD card.

Tnx for your reply man!
Only now I have a different problem..
My phone doesn't start at al!!
I had to work today so I left my phone on the charger all day, to try your method tonight.
When I tried to start it up the only thing I get is the red led blinking a few times and thats it..
When I left my phone on the charger last night it looked like it was charging (red led burning continuously).
Anyone any ideas what's the problem now? (and how to fix of course )
-update 5 min later: now I don't even get the red led blinking anymore )
-update another 5 min later: strangely enough the led blinks again

In the meantime I'm back in the bootloader! :good:
What now?
Can you really simply explain how to flash the boot.img?
I dont understand how it works exactly..
Sorry for being so ignorant, but if I was foreseeing this sh*t I would never have touched my kernel
thanks in advance!

1. download boot.img and modules zip from the link
2. copy boot.img to fastboot folder.
3. open cmd, cd to where your fastboot folder is and then type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
4. boot phone into recovery, mount USB storage and copy modules zip to your phone
5. unmounts USB storage and install modules zip from recovery menu
6. reboot phone and it should boot

So I've booted my phone in the bootloader en then selected fastboot. Then I leave it there and open the CMD on my pc
The boot.img is in the my downloads folder.
So in CMD I should type: C:\Users\Jan\Downloads>fastboot flash boot boot.img
And than it says that the command is not recognized...
to be more specific, it says: fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command, program or batchfile

you copy the boot.img to the same folder that the fastboot files are in
Edit: you should really READ the INSTRUCTIONS before you act. if you unlocked your bootloader to do some modding, which you would have HAD TO DOWNLOAD THE FASTBOOT FILES AND PERFORM THE FASTBOOT COMMANDS FROM WITHIN THE FASTBOOT DIRECTORY

Yeah I know.. I'm stupid as hell and I have learned a lot. I thought I knew enough, but apparently not..
But now I want my phone to work again, so excuse me for asking, but where are my fastboot files?
I've unlocked my bootloader using the method on this site:
http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
But when I copy boot.img in the folder that guy uses (foldername: oneXRoot) the cmd 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' still fails.
I feel really bad, but I really hope you guys can have mercy and patience with me...

the fastboot.exe is in the OneXRoot folder
open cmd, cd to that folder and then run the fastboot command:
cd c:\users\jan\downloads\onexroot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
As shown in the attached image. Sorry if we sound rude, but as I have found out in the last day or so..... there are just some people that don't read instructions, and/or don't understand what they are doing (when all info that they need is in the Rom-dev section)

In other terms. You have to have your boot.img in the same folder as where your adb and fastboot files are
To check if your on the right track, ctrl+rightclick on a blabk space in a folder and select "open command window here" then type fastboot?

Thanks for al your help you guys, but now I know what's really wrong with my phone.
I've a wrong version of clockworkmod installed. In this version the usb storage function doesn't work, so I can't place a new ROM on my phone.
I wanted to install a working version of clockwork, but now my battery is drained! (at least below 30%) :crying:
I tried to load the battery, but that doesn't work anymore.
Anyone some ideas?

Download the 5.8.4.0 recovery. I think that's the fixed one.
Go to bootloader and fastboot usb thrn flash the recovery there.

I tried and it started promising but I got the message that my battery is too low:
sending 'recovery' (5742 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.748s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: battery low)
finished. total time: 0.958s
The main problem is to charge my phone to at least 30%, but I don't know how.

Try turning the phone off via hboot and putting it on charge for a while

of course i tried that already... But somehow it doesn't charge anymore.
Can't figure out why.

I had the same problem but it does charge the led won't light up as the software to control it is corrupted charge for awhile then try again. I managed to boot mine into clockwork recovery and hook it to pc to charge it

Also tried that already, but also in clockwork it doesn't charge..
Hate it that the one x has got a build in battery
I really don't have a clue what to do now. The only thing I need is a charged battery, but it looks like theres no way to charge it
I'm not gonna buy a new phone because my battery is empty

dont worry when your phone is completely out of juice you will be able to charge it... happened to me while i was stuck in bootloader myself...

yeah I know, there has to be a way, but the only question is how?
I'm thinking of opening up my phone and charge it with a power supply.
Back in the days with my old HD2 it would be easy...

How to recover my phone

I didn't to a NANDROID backup before trying to flash a new ROM (fail I know). I had factory reset my phone before flashing the new ROM, but the ROM that was flashed hasn't installed correctly and the phone no longer powers completely on. I would like to just throw a different ROM/gapps on the SD card, but I can no longer access it on my computer since the phone will not completely boot up.
Someone suggested somewhere that I mount the USB Storage from recovery, but in the mount + storage recovery section all I see is mount /data, mount /system, and mount /cache, none of which make the GNEX storage available on my computer.
Any suggestions for fixing this problem, or for simply accessing the SD card on my computer without the phone turning completely on?
Thank you.

You can adb push a ROM while booted in a custom recovery. You should check out the stickies in this forum & the general forum.

Download the factory image from google for your phone. Extract it and get system.img from it (you have to extract it a few times). Get adb/fastboot setup by installing the correct drivers and the android sdk (there may be files posted here at xda with just the files needed for adb/fastboot). Then put system.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe (assuming you use windows).
Connect your phone while in bootloader (both volume keys + power) and from a command prompt in that directory, type:
1) fastboot flash system system.img
2) fastboot reboot
It won't wipe anything other than /system.

I'm getting < waiting for device > when executing the first command (fastboot flash system system.img)
I tried a few solutions for this error based on information I could find, such as reinstalling the drivers from Samsung, but nothing seems to have worked. Any help here? I really just need to get any form of a working ROM installed so I can boot the phone.

You need to get your phone to be recognized by your pc. It is a driver problem. Try following some of the steps in this thread.

I was finally able to flash the system.img from Google, but see no change. What is expected to happen once this .img has been pushed?
EDIT: Ended up flashing the entire .zip installation instead of just the system.img file and I have a stock install atm. Thank you for the help!
To Man_Utd, I ended up just re-executing the superboot r5 while in bootloader and it seemed to help recognize the phone..-shrug-.

[Q] Another bricked phone thread!

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help. So I am stuck on the bootloop screen on CM10. I have searched and researched but so far to no avail.
Here's what I have so far:
My One X is the international version and I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Instead of doing the usual route of downloading a rom on my PC, I tried it through the phone via an app on play called CM downlander.
I then attempted to install from SD as usual.
I am unable to mount the phone/sd via clockwork as the pc seems to not see the phone.
I have looked all over the web and the only thing I can find is something called android debugging bridge? This looks like it could be helpful.
Although I am a complete android geek, I am relatively new to custom android, I have run CM successfully on a GSII but that is it so if anyone can help, please could you do it newbie friendly? Thanks!

u have not flashed the kernel it seems.to mount sdcard,try rebooting recovery and then mount sdcard. just now this happened 2 me.
Sent from my One V

Which recovery do you have ? Is it cwm 5.8.4.0 ? If not ..... upgrade the recovery, it has the option to mount sd card as USB diskdrive.....and second, i doubt that you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ? It's needed because we can not flash complete roms with recovery because we are s-on ! You have to flash the kernel separately

First of all, download the cm10 zip from official source: get.cm/?device=endeavoru
Do you get an error if you try to mount in cwm?
Sent from my HTC One X

Sorry, being sent out by the missus! Will be back on tonight.

Hi guys, thanks for your replies earlier. In response:
I have downloaded a copy of cm10 on my pc. Unfortunately TToivanen I am unable to mount in cwm. I'm using 5.8.2.7.
I am almost certain you guys are correct, I vaguely remember flashing the kernel for my old GSII but didn't touch the kernel this time.
Now....how the hell do I do get out of this one!?
By the way, forgot to add. when I boot up I just get stuck in cm bootloop.

Easy fix: download latest cwm here:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Then flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Then mounting usb should work.
And don't forget to extract the boot.img and flash it as well.
Sent from my HTC One X

Ok, I'm going to sound totally newbie now, I'm not sure how to do these things that you have suggested. Do I download to my pc then use a command line or something to get it to my phone?

Ok, just researching fastboot for windows now...

Alright, dl these fastboot files:
http://www.mediafire.com/?q2540u4g3v6qqd7
Extract and put the recovery img I linked in the fastboot folder.
Then hold shift and right click anywhere in that folder and select open command prompt here.
Hold power and volumedown to get to fastboot modeand connect usb cable to pc, on phone screen you should see fastboot usb.
Then execute the command I posted while ago.
Finally, on your phone menu, select hboot -> recovery.
Usb mounting should work now.
Flash rom and proceed to next step.
Installing kernel:
Extract boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Open fastboot command prompt as described earlier and type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
followed by
Code:
fastboot erase cache

Thanks. Just to top this off. I think my battery has died because it'll no longer switch on. I'm sure it was fully charged before I started. I know I saw a thread about that so will check it now.

Yeah, the one with the batch file.
Let it run at least overnight.
I'm off to bed and will check back tomorrow. :thumbup:

Thanks TToivanen. LED is just slowly flashing red so will check it in the morning. Fingers crossed I can sort this tomorrow.
Cheers.

wow.....after this all, we have another expert on the team

Hi all, I'm off to a wedding today (on a Monday, I know) so won't be able to do anything to the phone today. I will be back on tomorrow though with a raging hangover. I will say though that I followed your instructions and got stuck at initiating the command. I'm not at the pc but it said something wasn't found. I'll post the full error message tomorrow.

Evening fellow geeks! Can I just say thanks for your replies so far. It's not like you are paid to do this so I just want to say that I appreciate your help.
I'm hoping that by the time I go to bed tonight I will have a working phone, that's my hope anyway.
I'm going to re-follow TToivanen's advice now and post the error message I am getting. Will post in a few minutes.

Ok, so I downloaded fast boot and the clockwork recovery file. Extracted fastboot and copied clockwork into it. Opened a command screen from fastboot, then entered the fastboot screen on my phone and attached usb.
This is where I think I am getting stuck/going wrong, I pasted fastboot flash recovery filename.img into the and screen and get the following:
C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery filename.img
error: cannot load 'filename.img'
C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>

Download this. And paste to fastboot folder.
The file name in this case is: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Or you can change the name to whatever easier to type.

Does
fastboot devices
gives you list with devicess connected ?
I think you havent installed properly drivers so fastboot cant install files.
I understand that everything you flash in bootloader mode on the fone.
Not in debugging mode when phone is turned on.

Go to Original Android developement. It's in the pre-rooted thread, these are the ONLY img files for roms available unless you push the zip file using ADB...

Flash the system zip file rather than trying to flash simply the .img. The zip files are in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/asus-zenfone-2-rom-t3054956) and might help because you're also flashing default recovery... could be CWM.
Also try flashing using fastboot.

your phone model?

3.the adb driver should have installed in your pc OS drive [ which is C: ] put the downloaded recovery and firmware in that folder [where adb is installed] then in that folder, open command window by pressing shift and right click and a dialogue box will appear then open the command window from there and enter this command fastboot flash recovery {name of the recovery twrp something}.img then connect your phone to your pc and enter bootloader in your phone and press enter in command window.
4.after that put the downloaded firmware in any sdcard and put it in your phone then open recovery mode in your phone and go to reboot>recovery [yeah you have to reboot the recovery] then when recovery open again then go to wipe>advanced wipe> and select system,data,cache,dalvik and internal storage [internal storage is optional but if you choose it then it will wipe all your data in your phone] then wipe it and go to install section then choose the extsdcard [it should be written internal storage click on that then you can choose your external storage] then in the extstorage choose the firmware you downloaded and just swipe to flash.
5.patience ..because it would take time and maybe get stuck at 52% or 59% ..so just let it take time for installation [btw connect your phone to thr charger in this process]
6.after it done then reboot your phone and ALL DONE. [the first boot will take some mins to boot up]
