[Q] Recovery wont work

Hey guys , am having a problem with my htc one x recovery ,
as i was going with the rooting of my phone i got stack at 1 point where i needed to use recovery so i could access the zipped file in my htc (i have already unlocked the bootloader). So when am getting to the point of using recovery from the fastboot screen with the color letters (using volume up and the power button to navigate as always) the htc message pops up trying to load the recovery and then a black screen pops up with the icon of the mobile and a green cyrcle, and after a few secs of loading theres another icon with a red triangle and a exclamation mark. at that point the phone stacks with that icon and i can do nothing. after a couple of mins the phone just restarts by itself and am back on the normal htc interface...
In the video i saw after he used recovery none of those icons where seen and it loaded up the default directories of the phone, as i was searching in net i saw a prob like that and the solution was to erase the fastboot erase cache, already erased the cahe but the problem is still there, if any solutions for that would be greatly apreciated !

Did u flash a custom recovery ? Latest is cwm 5.8.4.0
The one u are describing is the stock one.

The recovery you described is HTC's stock recovery ... Go to here - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 < - and download the first link and put it into your phone sdcard then reboot into fastboot and fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img and you're good to go for flashing ROMs

Wrong mate....
Download the cwm recovery and put in the fastboot folder on PC.
And also give this command before AND after flashing the recovery.
Fastboot erase cache
And why giving the answer again, i already gave the answer, and get your facts right ! This is the second post i see around with a small error in it

no need to put the recovery.img in the fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

Very true .... but to keep it more clear (just like putting the boot.img in the fastboot folder,.like most tut's say) i advice to do it straight from the fastboot folder, so in that way the commands stay the same.......if you get my point

Have you flashed boot.img?

I think it's better to read more rather then watching half baken video's (what you did not know) it's better to follow the tutorials here ! :thumbup:
And yes like said before flash the boot.img
Extract it from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder
Phone in fastboot USB mode and do the following command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Just like you did with the recovery
Reboot !
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

ok.. so i just searched a bit in this forum and the tutorials here as u said , and y after i saw in here am not going to trust any videos and just follow the forum.. i missed a couple of steps first i dont know what CID i have , which as i've seen its very important ( any ways to check now that i cant use my htc and am stack in bootloader?) 2nd i ve seen i need to have the hboot 1.31 for it to work and currently i don't. thought that maybe that would fix it and downloaded it and as the steps told me
1.i relocked the bootloader
2.downloaded the firmware.zip from the forum instructions
3.entered succesfully the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
4. { (4) In order to flash new hboot write "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" } and here am stuck cause when am typing the command am getting FAILED <remote : not allowed) and in that step i saw a vid again (i know...but am desperate) which he said if that happens u should use the
adb reboot oem-78. which i did and after it opens deamon it says error : device not found

and also u said:
And yes like said before flash the boot.img
Extract it from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder
i know i might be asking for much but plz put some more detail form me as am somewhat new to this and i might not understand some of the ways
for example which one is the boot img? the hboot 1.31 ? and what do u mean extract from rom.zip ( the custom rom maximus v6 i downloaded u mean?) and i really apreciate ur time guys ur helping me much hope i can still use my phone after ur instructions atm i crying over a my dead phone help me bring it back ( if its possible ;/)

boot.img is insite the custom rom zip file open the zip file with totalcommander take out the boot.img an fastboot it

so u mean the boot.img inside the zipped folder from the instuctions named firmware ? the one that has the hboot 1.31? cause if thats the case i tried and i unzipped it put it on the fastboot folder and tried to run the commands like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
what i got is
sending 'boot' <5260 KB>....
OKAY [ 0.6s ]
writing ' boot'....
FAILED < remote : not allowed>
finished . total time : 0.9s
so that got me curious and i typed adb devices to check on cmd ... but my phone is not listed there o-o
while i was doing this the phone is on fastboot menu with the cable attached and says FASTBOOT USB.
any ideas? also how could i manage to come so far if the phone couldnt be reached in the first place (something changed meanwhile?) any ideas?

you have to unlock it in order to upgrade th firmware but when the firmware is flashed you have to unlock it again, because with the bootloader locked you can't use fastboot to flash anything....

[Q] Bricked my phone, please help

Thankyou anyone for helping me.
I was trying to update my phone to the Maximus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601543) from an AOKP JB ROM.
I succesfully followed the instructions to relock my phone, the flash the firmware, then unlock it again. Unfortunately I was foolish and didn't think to copy across the rom.zip before doing this. I tried restoring a Nandroid backup but was stuck in a bootloop. I also tried reflashing the previous AOKP Rom that I had on there. In this case it booted but I had no radio, no wifi, and importantly I couldn't mount over USB to copy across the new ROM. I'm guessing neither method works because of the new HBOOT?
I went to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 and it's clear that I have to flash an RUU through fastboot to get back to a working state. Unfortunately All the RUU links for JB Roms as listed on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 seem to be dead so I can't download them. Similarly the links to older RUUs found here http://www.filefactory.com/f/e3e8b30e62a4a8aa/ all require a premium account because they are over the 500MB limit.
Can anyone tell me where I can please get an RUU to restore my phone to working order, or if there's another method available? Thankyou very much for your help.

Thankyou for the suggestion, but the problem with that method is that once again the ROM I want to flash has to be moved over to the virtal SD card of my phone. Since the ROM on it is currently not working I can't copy anything across to the SD card through the usual means. Is there a way I can copy it across using fastboot, as that is still working fine? I had a look at the fastboot help and there didn't seem to be any way. What I need is a ROM that can be flashed over fastboot, which I understand can be done with the stock RUUs?
I'm not panicking, I know that I will be able to get it back up and running, I just need a bit of help to get there.

Boot into bootloader and from there to recovery , mounts and storage - mount as USB ....and you have a working sd card to copy the rom.zip file to
Copy the rom.zip to the card and copy the boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Flash the boot.img and flash the rom from recovery ..... Are u using cwm recovery 5.8.4.0

Thankyou so much for that suggestion. That would really help. I'm sorry, I don't know what I did, but now if I try to go into recovery the recovery flashes breifly on screen and then it resets. I tried reflashing it, using the All In One toolkit and using Fastboot.exe. I also tried flashing both the CWM recovery and the TWRP recovery, neither of them worked.
Thankyou for your help again, I'm sorry but recovery was working before, I think all I did was flash a boot.img but could that break recovery? I even tried going through the whole relock, flash firmware.zip, unlock, flash recovery procedure to see if that would work but it didn't.

Do a fastboot command
Put the phone in bootloader / fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Check if you can enter recovery after that

Thankyou! That fixed the recovery issue. Once I could get into recovery I could copy across the ROM, flash it, flash boot.img (not that that was a problem) and my phone is now in woring order again.
Once again, many many thanks.

Glad you got it sorted !

stuck " HTC LOGO "

hey, so my device where stuck on pull the ring thng
so i thought it's a softwere prob, i upgrade my hboot to 1.31 so i could install the JB
i found there is no RUU fore my HTC_J15 !!
and i can't go back to ICS .. i unlock the boot so i can try some roms
same prob, any slu?

Why can't you go back to ICS or install a custom Sense ROM?
flash the boot.img and the ROM. Easy.

I have an idea to get you back to stock, from there you can update official. Its not the ruu method. I will explain later
I need your main version and cid number
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post these results

Pyschic prediction:
2.17.401
HTC__J15

If that is so, you need to fine the matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup collection thread in the general section
Restore it and flash back the stock recovery .... After this you can update official when the update is available. Then you are on a complete stock rom :thumbup:

CID: HTC_J15
Versoin mine: 3..14.401.619
it should be 415 right ? :0
i can't wait for the official RUU ! plz it's not my device i was acting smart and it's turn that i'm the dumbest ever

Well you can not use the European 3.14.401 ruu because that CID has been pulled off from the RUU but i don't know why !
and there is no matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup thread in the general section. I already looked there.
I think you have a serious problem here ...
But......when you installed a different rom, did you make sure you wiped everything that you could wipe in the recovery (cache,dalvik cache, system,data) ?
It seems to me that you didn't do a full wipe, or you didn't flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot usb mode ?
Download this file
http://db.tt/eLoVUcRc
Copy it to the phones sdcard, first you flash the boot.img in fastboot usb mode then you enter the recovery and do a factory reset, then you flash the file i gave you (just like a rom, it will wipe all) then you flash the rom !
Should be oke after that !

i did a cache wipe from the fastboot command .. i can't get into recovery it show a red triangle i try to re-lock and unlock it again root and install the clockmode and still with this prob .. so i try to flash a lot of boot.img file from some rom but nothing happen
it was working fine with full access to recovery mod till i flash a boot.img so i can install a room, there my problem start
i think there is no solution for my stupid mistake but if there any i'll be like, thank uuuuu

Well check all this .... Bootloader unlocked, if not unlock it and flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Download this one and rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you flash the boot.img of the rom you downloaded (its inside the rom.zip)
Copy the boot.img file also to the fastboot folder and flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you enter the recovery and do a full wipe including wiping the dalvik cache under the tab ADVANCED !
Then you install the rom.zip

okay i'll try this tomorrow, again step by step so i make sure i didn't miss anything
thank u .. i really want to try it know but it's 2a.m and i have a morning work
thank u again .. i'll update u with wut happen with me .

Good ! And charge the battery to a 100% before you start ! Can save you alot of trouble !

hey .. okay i start from da beging and so far every thing is good, i can access to the clockworkmod
now that i can't get inside the phone how can i flash the room ? it's the only step i miss

Did you read all this ....flashed the correct boot.img ?
You can flash the rom by pressing flash zip from sdcard (or something similar, can't recall at the moment) and select the rom.zip
And you can copy the rom.zip to the phones sdcard by mounting it as usb disk under the tab mounts & storage

hey, ya now the device finally work .. thanks god, and thank u
but the same problem, three soft button not working !
i did the hole thing 5 days trying for nothing ? damn it :crying:
so it's a hardware problem right ?

I guess that's a hardware failure yes, of it happens on every rom

[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

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

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

[Q] help a noob

Hi all,
Apologies i have read numerous threads and have tried to look at what i can but im gettign rather confused, any help would be great!
After 6 months have had the time to root my htc one x after allot of reading...
I successfully did this with the help of Hasoon2000's HTC ONE X All in one kit.I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 2.4.1.0
After i did this i decided to make a backup in TWRP and then try to install a custom ROM, since rooting the HTC One X was pretty simple...
So i downloaded the fastboot files to my desktop, extracted the 4 files in a subfolder, with the boot.img of VIPER, then i mounted my phone to the laptop and stored the VIPER.zip to the root of the SDCard, i then went into Recovery, wiped the cache, etc and went to install and chose the VIPER.zip and it went through the install.
I managed to install VIPER but upon reboot it just showed the HTC logo (white screen) with a snake slithering across the bottom and then hangs there forever..
I decided to go back and restore to the standard ROM but upon checking i dont have any backup??!! Im not sure if i deleted it by accident???
I can boot back into recovery and fastboot but i cant load any ROMS, i have tried numerous, some fail and the others just hang upon boot up...
How do i get my phone working?!!! Does anyone have any advice as to what im doing wrong please or what my options are????
I have looked at going back to stock ROM by checking what my RUU is and CID is but i cant find my version....

I wiped pretty much everything.
Pressed install. Went to the folder where the ROM i downloaded, is located in. Selected the ROM and slide the screen to flash it.
After it flashed, i pressed the back button. Pressed Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Then opened the ROM i downloaded from my computer and extracted boot.ig it to my computer. Opened hansoons toolkit and pressed Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and flashed it.
Then rebooted, just tried again and the phone has again just hung upon white HTC logo and a snake i the bottom right hand corner...

So the kernel is flashed ! Try this now
Make a full wipe in the recovery again. Wipe all caches,dalvik caches,system,data,android secure......all except external storage !
UNHOOK THE USB CABLE !
install the rom again

Wait a min you are on one of the low hboot versions.
stand by for guide

do i need to flash boot.img after installing viperx3.4.0?

To update your hboot, do this:
1. DL this firmware package http://goo.gl/4X9YI
2. Put it to your fastboot folder (the folder with fastboot.exe etc. etc.) and rename the file "firmware" if it already isn't named so.
3. Hold SHIFT and RIGHT click anywhere in the folder. Select "open command window here"
4. Type the following stuff
fastboot oem lock (this will lock your bootloader so that you know)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash firmware.zip (do several times if fails)
Unlock the bootloader using the toolkit
Flash a recovery using the toolkit
Then re-do everything you already did (also boot.img)

i did steps 1-4 but it failed on the fastboot flash firmware, it said cannot determine image filename firmware.

Do you mind if I do it remotely? Download an application called TeamViewer. When you're ready, send me you ID and password via PM.
We can chat as well.
