[Q] Stuck on HTC screen

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.

[Q] Black Screen

On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?

first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.

Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

first thing, when you get your phone back access the bootloader, hit fastboot and connect the phone to the pc (then after some seconds try vol up or down), it should say fastboot usb. tell me if it does (write it here)

When It's turned off, I hold the volume down button and power button together for 10 seconds. Then I let it go, but there's no bootloader mode. Before I sended it to the manufacture, I somehow did it, but I don't remember how.

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?

Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

Yes, now create a folder on the desktop called fastboot and copy those files in that folder. Then in cmd type cd desktop (enter) cd fastboot (enter), put the recovery in that folder, connect the phone on fastboot usb and type the recovery command

[Q] HOX boots to recovery! Help?

I'm a bit of a dumbass, and powered off while using Saurik's new android app. Now my phone will only boot into TWRP recovery. I am rooted but was on stock android 4.2.1. Any idea what I can do?

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...

You have to open a command window there... not click on the fastboot exe file...
Open fastboot folder and right click anywhere in the window along with pressing the shift key... in the menu.. select "Open command window here"...
and then do the following commands... Make sure your phone is conned to your PC in fastboot mode..

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.

Yes.. "restart zygote/launcer" broke something... not sure what though...
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 :/

If you flash a new ROM, you will surely loose all your user files (saved games and stuff).. so think before doing it...
Since you used Cydia.. I presume your already rooted with a custom recovery?

you need a custom recovery like cwm or twrp to install the rom, then when the rom has installed you can reinstall the stock recovery if you wish.

that usually happens because your bootloader is locked, it needs to be unlocked, and just leave it unlocked unless you need to send it for repair

How am I supposed to unlock it when I can't access the recovery or restore to stock? I really appreciate your help.

you unlock it via fastboot, not recovery
Go here>>>>>http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and create an account and read it all then follow instructions to unlock bootloader. and leave the browser window open until you are finished. once its unlocked install your twrp recovery. the guide i posted earlier can be used after you have unlocked, just use the stock rom you already have instead of the arhd one I linked to

Nevermind. It works. Thanks a ton nogotaclue. been working on this from midnight last night.

[Q] Factory reset and flashed a new rom. I have no google apps, recovery won't load.

I have google apps in a .zip, but no way to access them. My recovery won't load. It's stuck on "checking SD card update..."
How do I fix this or have I turned my phone into a paperweight?

I've been running CM for several months, I've never had Sense 5. I installed the new CM Nightly, and it wouldn't boot, so I had to factory reset my phone and flash an old version of CM. It booted, but the Gapps didn't install. Now when I go back into my recovery (Clockwork), it won't load properly.

Ok. Does it matter that I'm using a different computer than the one I used originally?
How exactly do I do this, does my phone need to be on or off or what's the story?
Thanks very much.

phone must be in bootloader and you need fastboot files. how come your phone is on CM10 yet you don't know this fastboot thing?

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.
