[Q] Help me please!!!

Please help me I may be in some deep poop here
Hi, I recently tried to root my HTC one X from the latest firmware (jellybean) using this http://ausdroid.net/2012/04/02/how-to-root-the-htc-one-x/ method. Unfortunately it didn't work and instead put the phone into a boot loop. I managed to flash a version of CWM recovery onto it, and I downloaded the viperX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176 rom and used adb push to put it onto the sd card so I could install it. I installed it and select no custom kernal when it asked me and it had no effect. So i tried installing it again but I ticked custom kernal to see what it did. Big mistake - the phone tries to boot, it has the viperx snake thingy in the boot screen, it gets to the lock screen and is completely unresponsive and crashed. I tied downloading another rom (nocturnal) and installing that but it had no effect.
I've tried using a RUU to fix it but none of the ones I tried work, they get an error, wrong bootloader version. I relocked the bootloader and flashed a stock recovery onto it but still no luck.
Please please help me anyone!!!!
Some info:
CID: VODAP021
S-On
Hboot 1.36.0000 - i believe this coult be the problem why the ruu won't work
CPLD-None
Radio-5.1204.162.29
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode; disabled
hw secure boot; enabled\
modem path; off

What custom recovery do you have ? Type and version ?
First, you should be able to mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive from within the recovery !
Second, you need to flash the boot.img file from the viper.zip (its inside the rom.zip).
Third, you need to perform a FULL wipe in the recovery before installing the actual rom.
Your hboot is not the problem. Its one or more of the things above.
And also check what is on top of your bootloader. Does it say ENDEAVORU ?

First off, thanks for your help. I've unlocked the bootloader again, flashed the boot image from the viperx zip and reinstalled viperx but it still won't boot. How do you perform a full wipe, and also in the installer for the rom it said something about flashing the kernal manually if you don't have s-off (in the botloader it says s-on).
BTW i'm using cwm recovery v6.0.1.9

Oke, first of all download the viper x 3.3.7. The JB version !
A FULL wipe ? You have to delete all data in the recovery. Wipe caches,dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. Format cache, data, system. Then install the Rom. And right before you install the rom you unhook the usb cable too.
The boot.img is flashed with a command like this
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Used that before ?

Ok there's my first problem i had an old version of viperx, it was an ics one and my phone had jb on it.
Yes i'm familiar with using the fastboot flash command, its the only way I managed to get cwm on there
Also, just to be clear, I flash the new boot.img (the one in the viperx folder) before or after I install the new rom?

Yes you flash the new boot.img, perform a full wipe in the recovery, unhook the usb cable ! Then install the new rom.
Select full wipe in the installer, kernel question is answered by pressing viper x delivered.

Ok thanks, i'm trying to put the new rom onto the phone now, I've formatted system, /sdcard, ect in cwm plus cleared the caches, I've mounted sdcard and typed into adb: adb push ViperX3.3.7.zip sdcard, i'm waiting for it to finish pushing, its taking a while
Its done, by viperx delivered you mean viperx supplied right? I used that one, its installing now, fingers crossed..

Its easier to go into the mounts and storage section of the recovery and mount is as a mass storage device (diskdrive) its like inserting a usb stick

OK its booting, it had the viperx snake going across the boot screen, now its displaying the htc one boot screen...
Sucses! Its working again. I'll make sure to install cwm and make a backup straight away.
Thankyou so much for your help, i've sent you a little something for your trouble

Thanks mate, appreciate it ! have fun with Viper X JB !
CASE CLOSED !

[Q] HTC One V Stuck at RECOVERY MODE screen

Hi! I tried flashing my HTC ONE V (GSM) with Pacman ROM available on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....8770.
I started from the very beginning of this process and here is what I did :
1. Unlocked my bootloader using HTCDEV site. ---- WORKED WELL.
2. Installed ClockWordMod recovery - touch version. ----- WORKED WELL.
3. Downloaded Pacman ROM from above link posted on XDA developers only.
4. Downloaded GAPPS for 4.2.x from the link available on the same link above.
5. Fastboot flashed my phone with BOOT.img file available with Pacman ROM ZIP file. ---- WORKED WELL.
6. Copied both the above ZIP files to my SD card.
7. Restarted my phone in Bootloader mode; went for RECOVERY mode from there.
8. CWM Recovery Screen comes up - v5.8.3.1
9. WIPE Data/Factory Reset ---- WORKED WELL.
10. Wipe Cache Partition ---- WORKED WELL.
11. Wipe Dalvik Cache ---- WORKED WELL.
12. Install ZIP from SDCARD.
13. Chose respetive Pacman ROM ZIP file & INSTALLED. ---- WORKED WELL.
14. Rebooted phone.
15. Installed GAPPS ZIP file in similar manner. ---- WORKED WELL.
16. Rebooted phone and still stuck on same RECOVERY MODE screen stating that "This build is for developers only....".
I followed all instructions and applied them in correct order but my phone is now stuck completely.
I tried restoring my backed up ROM (I did made a Nandriod backup of my ROM before starting this process!) but after successful install when it reboots it lands on the same screen and get stuck again..painful!
I even tried FACTORY RESET option with HTC Bootloader..no benefit from that even!
So, I can sense this is a BIG trouble now! Right?? Can somebody please help me in this?
Thanks in anticipation guys!

Cam you get your phone in fastboot mode? Maybe you can than use an official HTC RUU. To let your phone start again.
Then you can try to install pacman rom, see if the problem still comes up
EDIT: RUU downloads are here

Hey!
Yes I am able to Fastboot my phone and I tried installing the HTC RUU as well from the link you provided but still it stucks to the same screen and keeps on restarting every 10-12 sec.
The problem still persists, badly!
Please help..I really don want to pay extra bucks to service center for unbricking my phone.

i think you should flash a kernel, which compatible with stock before you can restore back stock rom.

R: [Q] HTC One V Stuck at RECOVERY MODE screen
You need to down grade your radio I guess , I'm on the phone now , search in general there is a guide on how to do it

Are you able to boot into boot loader mode..?? If yes from there move to recovery wipe everything and flash another ROM and kernel..+ if you want to move back to stock don't try using RUU method search for a stock ROM backup that has the same hboot and radio version as your phone...(if u are able to bootloader mode,there are 99% chances that you'll recover your phone by yourself..)
Good luck...

[Q] Trying to upgrade to CM10.1 keeps failing.

After a few unsuccessful attempts to flash my HTC One X up to CM10.1, I found out my hboot version was too low, so after much reading, trying and failing etc. I managed to get my hboot up to 1.36 (even after having my phone stuck at the white HTC boot logo for about 2 hours), but I still cant install the version of CM10.1 that I spent hour trying to do at the weekend (cm-10.1-20130312-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip) it still fails at the hboot checking point.
My main question is what would be the process that I would need to get the lastest version of CM10.1 to work?
Details from my phone
hboot - 1.36
CID - ORANG001
RUU - 2.17.61.3
I know there is a new boot.img that needs to be flashed after CM10.1 has gone in and was reading earlier about the stable releases, which is fine I have no problem with that, but I just cant figure out why I still cant flash 10.1 even after hboot upgrade which was a pain having to go back to a stock rom after re-locking my bootloader etc.
I know this stuff gets asked so many times, this is probably a repost but I just dont want to have to troll through hundreds of posts if the process is just, flash this, now this... done...
Thanks for reading.

Check for something called "vendor" it needs to be installed after the rom. Dont shoot me for this info....i haven't checked it myself ! But read something about it from the sideline

Go to CM thread in original dev section, in first post you can find a vendor installer zip that you must flash in recovery after flashing the ROM.
This is due to vendor files being taken down (DMCA),that's why latest zips have them missing and can't boot.

Yeh but thats my problem, how can I flash the vendor installer after the rom when I cant actually get the rom to flash in the first place?
If I grab the lastest nightly from clockworkmod app on my phone, tell it to wipe cache and then install rom, it reboots the phone like normal, I get the ruu replacement screen it does some of it, then flat out fails at the hboot check, I then have to use recovery to reboot the phone and it back on the original rom but I have to setup everything again (install apps and such, connect to my google account for contacts etc)

Bump

The steps are
Make a FULL wipe in the recovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & Storage - format cache,data,system
Then install cm10.1, gapps,vendors - DO NOT REBOOT IN BETWEEN AND ALSO NOT AFTER THE INSTALL !
now head back to the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader
And flash the boot.img from the cm10.1.zip file
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
Should be it !

Can't flash any JB custom ROM

So I've bought my phone secondhand a few months before, rooted and with ARHD 9.X.
Then I decided I want a JB custom ROM and tried to upgrade to ARHD 19.2 (JB), and also Viper X 3.4.0 (JB). - NO LUCK.
I,ve upgraded HBOOT to 1.39 and followed all the steps required for Jelly Bean upgrade (or so I think).
ISSUE
After flashing, my HOX managed to boot the system, even start the start up process, but after a minute or two everything froze up and restarted, again boot, restart... Some kind of a bootloop.
Then I just went to the older version of Viper X 2.7.0.
I really want a new JB custom ROM, but can't have it because I'm obviously missing something.
Please assist...

Did you flash the boot.img from the new viper rom ? And did you perform a FULL wipe in the recovery before you installed the new rom ?
And for additional info, can you do a fastboot command for me
Fastboot getvar version-main

AW: Can't flash any JB custom ROM
If you didn't flash the the boot img then download it from the ARHD thread. There is a bat. Which do it for you. Very easy
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I did flash boot.img that was on the viperx's thread, also tried with the .bat file when I was trying to flash new ARHD ROM.
Before flashing every ROM I did factory reset/wipe, wiped cache partition and wiped dalvik cache.
Mr Hofs, I did the following command:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1832227&stc=1&d=1364214488

May i suggest you turn to stock first to check its all fine

Download the ruu, put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode ....lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Then right click the ruu and select " run as administrator"

ok, so I just installed the stock rom with your instructions and my HOX froze again... really frustrating.
do U have any more ideas what can I do?

What are you talking about it IS the jellybean ruu !
And if you would have read the thread you could see he already updated the hboot to be able to run JB roms, and he also did.....he has trouble starting the roms. But ICS roms work fine !

Vander....
Could please write down ALL the exact steps you take with installing the new rom ?
From boot.img , recovery actions .... all used commands ... Etc etc etc

a few months ago I installed JB RUU and actualy managed to update it via software update.
That just reminded me that I was able to keep stock rom active without freezing when it was on charger. how weird is that?
anyway, this is how I did the software update. but as soon as I jacked the charger out, it froze again.
i don't know what else I can do, except stay with my current ROM. but I'm not happy with that.
any constructive suggestion or ideas would be great. thanks

1.downloaded RUU from your link
2. fastboot mode -> cmd -> command: fastboot oem lock ->phone relocked
3. run RUU as administrator, followed steps as instructed on the installer
4. after a few minutes phone rebooted and loaded stock rom, took me to setup
5. went through setup process, then check software version, browsed through the phone a little and freeze

Sorry ..... I ment when you install a custom rom !
But now it goes well when you keep it on the charger but it goes wrong when you unplug it ?

yes. but that happened only with stock rom. i tried that with ViperX JB and it didn't work.
did you ever hear of such case?
Yesterday i tried Viper X 3.4.0:
1. downloaded ROM and boot.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443
2. put ROM to SD card
3. reboot to fastboot usb mode
4. open CMD in fastboot folder - > entered: fastboot flash boot boot.img -> OKAY
5. unpluged USB from phone, went to recovery in fastboot mode
6. CWM recovery -> wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache partition -> wipe dalvik cache
7. install zip from SD card, browsed to ViperX 3.4.0 and selected it
8. went through setup process, chosen wipe data in installation (just in case)
9. finished installation
10. HOX loaded ROM successfully, started setup, after few moments FREEZE

Oke try this :
Flash the viper x 3.4.0 boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Unplug the cable and enter the recovery.....
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the viper x 3.4.0, choose a full wipe in the aroma installer and choose kernel - viper delivered.....
Reboot after install

[Q] can't boot into CM , can't update bootloader

I've been using viperX for about 9 months now, and today i wanted to upgrade to CM 10. so I downloaded the ROM and used ROM Manager (instead of bootloader) and it after CM was installed, it wouldn't boot. the flash screen was the only thing i saw for about 30 minutes.
then i googled for this situation and found out that most times the solution was to install CM via bootloader, so i tried to do so, and again the same thing happened.
next i thought i should update my bootloader. i was using CWM 2.x, i think it was 2.6.. can't really remember (it wasn't updated since around December 2012 when i switched to viperX). anyway, i tried to install TWRP, downloaded the latest version from their site and used the sdk tools that i already had on my computer (i updated it about a month ago) just as the instructions said. i got no error in the cmd, nor on the phone screen. i tried to get into recovery and got stuck on HTC logo.i tried also downloading the latest version of CWM and the result was the same.
now when I'm trying to boot into CM i get stuck on their logo, and when i try to boot into recovery i get stuck on HTC logo..i couldn't do factory reset either.
my phone is HTC one x (bought in Singapore)
HBOOT version is 1.36.0
any ideas where to go from here?
thanks in advance

You're in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL/at&t One X forum. I'll ask for this to be moved to the correct device forum for you.

Hi,
I assume your bootloader is unlocked, I had same problem when I originally tried to flash custom rom (soft bricked phone).
Start from scratch and place fastboot folder in root directory of an easily accesible drive (c and place CWM zip file, Version 5.8.4.0 (for one x) in that folder and use CMD prompt to flash CWM again, then boot into CWM recovery and mount phone as USB storage and hopefully you have backed up original software as Nandroid backup (copy to pc so you have a backup copy). From there you can place CM 10 zip file in root directory of phone and install from CWM after doing full wipe, and wipe cache (all through CWM). Youtube has some good videos (Cursed4Eva in particular) on flashing roms. You may also have to flash boot image or you may get stuck in bootloop.
Hope this helps.
