Hi after upgrading to JB i am getting some issue with my phone. If i format my htc one x with gparted and then re-install the rom . Will it be ok to do that ?
I would be cautious doing that...
Better to factory reset and erase the sdcard from within your recovery (TWRP or CWM).

OK Thanks. But when erasing the sdcard (That is the built in sdcard) it will erase everything so will i still be able to connect as a drive so that i can copy the rom into it.

As long as the recovery is either the latest CWM or TWRP, you can mount the USB Storage and put ROM.zip on it. Not with a stock recovery.
And be sure to have CWM 5.8.4.0. The usb mounting doesn't work with earlier versions.

Yep. It's fine to erase everything, as long as you have latest CWM or TWRP on there, you can still mount your phone and put a rom on there to flash
Good luck!

My phone is all messed up. When I plug into USB the only folder I see is the Android folder, and then the data folder. I can't access any of my other folders unless I am using Astro. I am trying to format my SD card to see if I can fix this. I went into CMW and formatted the data, the cache and the system. STILL all my files are there, and I still can't get them through USB. What am I doing wrong??? I also reinstalled my ROM and I wiped data/factory reset...
I believe there is a "wipe local storage" option (or equivalent) under "advanced" in CWM.

Nope, I only have
Wipe Devlik Cache, Wipe Batt Stats, Partition SD card (maybe that?) and other unrelated things. It's not under mount/storage either
Relock and unlock the bootloader.. That should erase the sdcard
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
If that doesnt work, reflash to google stock images. Look into the guides available in this thread.
No need to relock/unlock.
Just use fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase userdata

Thanks! Is there a way to do it with plain adb instead of fastboot? in fastboot it keeps saying. "waiting for device"

Why don't you just format the drive in Windows? Seems like you're overcomplicating it.

In fastboot mode, go to device manager and update drivers. You need to install them twice to work

When you restore the backup, do full wipe before restoring? If not try again like this
- First flash boot.img from backup file as "fastboot flash boot boot.mg" then "fastboot erase cache"
- Go to recovery do full wipe then restore backup.
- Reboot

Formatting data will only wipe the system data needed to overwrite your current ROM. It is advised to do a full wipe before flashing so no bugs or glitches happen. The worst case scenario if you don't wipe your system data is that your tablet won't be able to boot up. I advise wiping when installing any ROM. Your internal storage should be safe from harm

Let me get a clearer understanding of your problem. What do you need the USB drivers for? If you want to move files, use ADB sideload. (Google it please).

Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.
And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582565
Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

i try viper, cm11,project x revolution, always had error 7
i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.
Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.

Flash Philz recovery 5.15.9 and you will be able to mount sd card. flash boot.img on viper and install again viper rom.
And something else for CM11 you need different recovery latest Philz or in CM11 thread latest CWM6.04.07 or something like that
