[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...

Idiots guide

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED
Hi All
Is there anyone willing to help me recover my phone (presently stuck on logo screen). I've looked at various solutions posted on different forums but I just get confused.
So what I would like is idiots guide on how to do it, including how to write the commands codes so I can flash the updated CWM rom. Tried to work it out but everything I've tried keeps failing and I desperate to get my phone working again.
Please please help

Tell us what you have done so far m8 and the reason for it being stuck. At a guess did you flash the boot.img when installing a Rom?
To install or update recovery, go here and follow the instructions on the second part "Installing A Recovery" Just follow the steps its pretty easy.

Flash the appropriate boot.IMG for your rom
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

hmmm
Thats what i've trying to do but I can't seem to work out what cmd codes I need to get it to work. All I get is:
'Downloads\OneXRoot' is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
This error message on everything I try to do incuding flashboot, flashboot recovery etc
Tried micks solution and all it did was open Nero gggrrrrrr
And yes I did flash a boot image but i'm trying to get the updated one onto my phone but because my battery won't charge it proving to be a nightmare

From the link I posted do as the guide says re making a folder called fastboot on C: and then download the files and extract them to fastboot. Replace the end of the guide with instructions for flashing a boot image. The boot.img is usually in the zip of the rom. So you need to extract the boot.img and place it in your C:\fastboot folder
It should go something like this. Use C:\ not Downloads\OneXRoot
1. Download These Fastboot Files
2. Make a new folder on your C: drive called fastboot.
3. Extract The Zip downloaded in step 1 to the new folder
4. The Official Version of CWM has been released and is now capable of flashing all roms, you can grab it HERE
5. download the custom recovery and save it in the same folder as you did the fastboot files
6. Power Phone Off by Holding power button for 10 secs
7. select Fastboot with volume + or - then press power
8. plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
9. cd to your fastboot files folder cd c:\fastboot
10. Then enter fastboot flash boot boot.img and hit enter
11. fastboot erase cache is recommended if you have booting issues
reboot
ignore steps 4 and 5, copy and paste from above link

Going to buy a new phone
Followed your instruction to the letter but it failed to work. I think the problem is with my computer not recognising fastboot and the solution also failed. So I think i'm just going to buy a new phone and thanks for all your help

No need to buy a new phone, stick with it, you'll get there
Maybe give this a try. It does everything for you

Nice
Thanks thats a solution that will work once I find away to charge my battery. You have been a legend.

Cant you just put it in to recovery or leave it on the hboot screen, then plug in to a wall charger?

In Q&A, find the topic "flashing boot.img hoooooooow????" Or something, and at second side, u have my guide to flash boot.img files. Hope it works.

[Q] HTC One X Possibly Bricked

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.

Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.

What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

It says endeavoru

Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?

Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.

No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217

Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?

Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

Ignore me Mr Hoffs beat me to it

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!

If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted
Good to go mate

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

I just got my htc one last night,I have s off and it says it unlocked.my problem is when i go command prompt to install open recovery it shows that it wrote twrp then i click recovery it shows its booting into recovery but then it just restarts to the splash screen,Ive tried many times to get into recovery and just brings me back to htc screen phone boots fine.Ive tried to use goo manger to get into recovery which also shows entering recovery mode then it just starts up normal.So im not sure what the heck is going on.So info would be greatly apprecitaded.or should i use philz recovery does one work better then the other.I am also running 4.2.2 not sure if that matters or not

I'm also having this problem. I'm running android 4.3. I've tried TWRP and Clockwork Mod. I achieved S-Off and an unlocked bootloader with firewater.

Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.

Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.

i havent tried that will give it a shot .I deleted sdk and trying to reinstall it but for some reason its not loading the page to dl it.So if anyone has a file for that would be cool,where is the fastboot erase cache at im not seeing it any were.back in the day when i had the thunderbolt I never had this much problems

fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.

Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.

so i still have know idea what is going on with this.I dl the miniadb from drop box [thanks for that by the way] extracted to new folder called adb dropped and dragged file openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 to the adb folder,held down shift and got into cmd typed in fastboot erase cache and hit enter it shows that it wrote it ,then I typed fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 add the .img to the end hit enter and says every thing went ok.so I unplug cable hit power button went into recovery hit power button again.it shows that it is going into recovery then just goes to splash screen and boots normal.I have usb debug checked,S is off and says unlocked.So im stumped hopefully you will see what im doing wrong with my procedure..thanks again for the info you have have given me so far.

are their suppous to be spaces between fastboot flash recovery

That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

Dude you rock!!!! I know when i was using my s4 that the twrp worked best for that phone.Cant belive thats all it was.so just to make sure,I need to flash su then I should do backup of stock image just in case something goes wrong.So my next questions is do i nedd to do anything elese to flash kitkat rom on phone like flash differnt radio or anything?again thank you for your time and all the info you have provided.

Yes, flash su and then do a backup. If you use a kk rom you should flash kk 3.11.605.1 firmware.
