[SOLVED] Soft bricked HOX (But its not that simple)

SOLVED
I am in a situation sort of like this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948389
Except my father was trying to fix it and wiped the virtual SD card. Any clues on how to push the zips I need onto it?
It is recognised in fastboot but not adb, so I can flash boot.img. I also have CWM recovery.
I have tried the RUUs but they fail with an unknown error.
I tried manually pushing a system.img from the RUU's rom.zip but it's too large for fastboot (Error 000000006)

In cwm use mount USB storage and connect the hox to the pc.
Now u can copy ur ZIP to the phone.

The HTC One X isn't on the supported list?
EDIT: Found the recovery file, it's booting up now

Solved, thanks to Michealtbh, TWRP allowed me to mount it to push the files over.
From here it should be a piece of cake xD

[Q] Softbricked HTC One X International Version

Hi guys!
I factory reset my rooted phone using Fastboot Screen.
After that, I also did factory reset using recovery.
I erased all partitions, cache, dalvik cache.
Now, my phone can't get past through the HTC Welcome Screen.
I want to flash another ROM but I can't put the zip file in my phone since I can't open the drive in my PC (it's not appearing in my pc).
Please help me. I want my phone to be usable again. Also, I want to continue to flash a New ROM.

You can open the recovery??
If yes, have you try to use the mount usb?

Yes I tried to go to recovery and mount USB storage, mount /sdcard, mount /data, mount /system.
And still nothing happens. It says, E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
The back story of my problem:
- I tried to install a Jellybean Hboot 1.36 since I want a Sense based ROM UI.
- When I was doing that, my battery is too low to do it. Anyways, I was able to push through with the HBOOT Update after reading some threads here. After that my phone started already.
- Fast forward, I unlocked the bootloader, etc. then I wiped everything in fastboot and in recovery because I'm preparing to install a new ROM (Viper and Renovate) But I forgot to put the zip files in my phone. And now I'm stuck with the HTC opening screen and I can't put the files in my phone.

if I remember correctly, you can flash rom from usb with an OTG cable
If you can, try with this method

No mate, just update the recovery. You have an old one !
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Flash this one, go to mounts & storage - mount as mass storage and you will be fine !

Hook usb cable to your pc > recovery > mounts and storage > mount usb storage

Enter the custom recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device.
Copy the new rom.zip to the phone and install it including of flashing the boot.img

Not much to explain about it. You enter the custom recovery, go to mounts and storage and then tap the last option in the list.....its something like
Mount as usb mass storage device

[Q] New Wildfire S User...

Hey guys.
I just got the wildfire s from MetroPCS. I'm looking to root it and get a custom rom on here, also looking to free up some space, I only downloaded facebook so far and my memory is already full and I cant download anything else.
I've been poking around looking for what I need in the massive amounts of threads, but I cant really seem to find clear posts. I'm also concerned about which roms and rooting methods are okay to use considering I'm on Metro. Also looking for an unbrick guide, just incase something goes horribly wrong.
First time htc user.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

First of all, unlock your bootloader here,
htcdev.com/bootloader/

Thanks so much for your response, I successfully unlocked my bootloader.
What next?

install a custom recovery, for example clockworkmod, sry i'm not allowed to post the link yet, because i'm new. -.-

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager search for wfs. Have you got adb?
Verstuurd van mijn Wildfire S A510e met Tapatalk

If you just want to free up some space, install link2sd.
It can be found in the Play Market but first you need to make a second partition on your SD Card.
You can do this easily with MiniTool Partition Wizard.
So take your SD Card out of your phone and put it into your computer and then start MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Resize the partition and use the free space to make a new partition. You can format it to FAT16/32, ext2, ext3 or ext4.
Then put it back into your phone and start link2sd and then it should say to reboot. Click reboot now.
Then start link2sd again and click on the apps you want link to your SD Card. Click create link.
If you do this with some of your apps, there will be more internal storage available.

I should download the CDMA version right? I don't think I have adb.
Also, I have no way of putting my SD card into my computer. Is there any other way to do that?

adb is the android debugger and part of the android sdk, which you can download directly from google on the android sdk pages.

for the stock rom you can just connect your phone to your computer and copy the roms that way. most digital cameras also have that feature, so you could use one if you have one.

Download latest CWM.
Download fastboot.exe
Reboot into HBOOT
Reboot into FASTBOOT
Connect your phone to your computer making sure ADB is enabled in the phone
Open CMD
Go to the directory where both fastboot and recovery are located (They must be in same directory)
Rename your recovery file to recovery.img
Type in in CMD:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It will be flashed and now grab a root.zip
Flash it through recovery
Reboot phone
Update SU binary or install SuperSU and you're done

Do you mean USB Debugging?
--
& Oh yes, I have the android sdk, I had to download it to unlock the bootloader.
I have an adb and a fastboot in a folder named 'platform-tools'.

Also, where can I find the root.zip? I don't want to download a wrong file by accident.
HBOOT = vol down + power , right?

JRLRNO said:

yes, that should be it.

Would it be safe to partition my sd card by plugging my phone in and selecting Disk Drive (mount as disk?)

adbusy fol
Ok when I tried to to flash the recovery it said adbwinapi.dll wasnt found so I put adbwinapi in there....then when I tried again it said
error : cannot load 'recovery.img': Unknown error

Try TWRP 2.3.3.0 instead.

Recovery Bootloop Help!!

Flashed Philz touch CWM. Flashed BAM ROM. IT ran fine for a day and a half. Flashed the custom kernel, and immediately started getting recovery bootloops. Instead of the boot message saying "Secure Booting Error Causeevice Unlock, So boot Success." It said, " Secure Booting Error Cause:Certification Verify" then I rebooted, and it just went to recovery. I reflashed everything minus the custom kernel, and it gave me the regular message, but it won't actually boot. Someone PLEASE help!!!

Might have to go back to stock.. I guess I was pointing everyone to the wrong recovery when I said look in Madmack's CM thread for his TWRP.
Use this one: https://db.tt/bQeSgkEJ
It says E986 but works perfectly.

Does PhilzTouch have adb? If so, you could just push that to your device through your PC.
adb push filename /sdcard/filename

Here are the solutions:
1. Download the aroma file manager here
2. Rename the file to aromafm.zip
3. Put the aromafm.zip in "clockworkmod/aromafm/" in any of the storage volumes
4. In Philz touch recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager (it will open the aroma file manager automatically if you put it into the correct folder as stated above)
5. Open the terminal in the aroma file manager
6. Type this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 count=1088
7. Reboot system
DONE!

no need for the computer to see the phone storage. you can put the aroma file manager either in your sdcard or usb storage, both should be readable when you use CWM to open aroma.

why should your computer need to recognize your phone?
you can take out your microsd card & insert it into the memory card reader & transfer the aroma file thru the reader by using your PC or put the aroma file manager thru your usb / pendrive & then use usb otg & CWM will automatically mount the usb storage.

just plug in your usb to your pc & then transfer the file into it. after that plug in USB OTG cable (if you have one) to your phone & connect the pendrive, make sure you are in recovery mode.
