Use the latest CWM recovery, has the ability to mount memory on USB, or install an RUU, and start all over again, both possible
And by the way, always have a custom ROM in your memory for this situations

Hmm... I have the CWM 5.8.3.1 (touch recovery). When i try to "Mount USB Storage" i get an error message reading
E: Unable to open UMS Lunfile(No such file or directory)
I also did try to Partition and format SD Card...
Should i use a different(lesser) version of the CWM recovery or a different recovery all together...
Thanks,

CWM 5.8.4.0 supports USB while in recovery under advanced tab. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

Might be worthwhile in the future keeping a rom you know works locally so if worst happens to can recover to it for the time being.

didnt' work for me
I was having the same problem. I updated my recovery to 5.8.4.0 and then cleared cache. Still stuck in boot loop. I can't get to the recovery to re-install rom. Any other suggestions?

HELP! messed up my rooting/installing custom roms

Hi, I rooted my One X and installed cyanogenmod 10, but i forgot to wipe before installing it, so that messed things up pretty bad. I tried wiping using clockwork recovery and it still didn't work, then i accidentally did a factory reset in the boot menu. so i think I messed things up big time. It was running the official JB update (android 4.1.1, sense 4+)
please help me out!

To flash another recovery version you flash it as if your flashing a kernel ...but by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img....and don't forget to rename the new cwm recovery you want to flash to recovery....

so i wiped it using recovery (data wipe, cache wipe) and installed some other ROM called cleanROM (http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=289) but my phone keeps getting stuck at the HTC Quietly brilliant boot screen

Again my point.Why dont people read up before doing things.600$ Device man.Why do u wanna take ur chances.
Read up about the things u are gonna do first! :/

The stock one ......

You need to extract boot.img from rom.zip that you wanna flash.
Then put it on your fastboot folder and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img command. Then fastboot erase cache. Boot to recovery and flash your rom again.

And update the custom recovery, this indicates also that you might have old one !
Ow and if you want to flash files from recovery after you flashed the boot.img please UNHOOK the phone from the pc, it will see the file after doing that !!!
Update the recovery to 5.8.4.0 if you don't have that version
Then mount the sd card from recovery and copy the rom.zip
Copy the boot.img file from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder.
Put the phone in bootloader menu and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then go into recovery perform a factory reset and UNHOOK the cable from the phone and flash the rom.zip !

Screwed up my One X

I tried installing a custom rom today and I think I messed up really bad, because my phone does not get pass the boot screen and I cannot enter the recovery setting. I think I messed up after entering
fastboot flash boot boot.img
in the command prompt and restarting because I forgot to put the rom zip on my phone. Since then I could not get pass the boot screen and even tried running a backup using CWM, but it didn't help. I then managed to mount my phone and put the rom onto it and installed it, but again it didn't help.
Now my phone can only enter the bootloader, I select hboot and fastboot, but nothing else works. Everytime I select recovery or factory reset I get the htc boot screen and it gets stuck. Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

did u backup your phone rom???
if you did u can go to recovery and restore it
and never try to change rom again trust me in that
otherwise i can't help bcuz i did the same mistake

I did make a backup, but like I said I can't enter recovery anymore, so I can't load the backup.
Thanks for trying to help anyway though.

fastboot erase cache
Often fixes recovery problems.

What HBOOT version do you have and what custom ROM are you trying to install?
edit: you didn't need to restart after changing boot.img cause in Recovery you can just go Advanced and then mount USB and copy the ROM or whatever files you want that way.

I have hboot 1.39.0000 and I was trying to install the latest cyanogenmod cm-10-20130106-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.
Yeah I realized this after I restarted and did it get the zip onto the phone. I think I installed it, but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen
UPDATE: Okay I've managed to install CWM recovery, so I think I'm making progress

You had to flash CWM again? Odd..
Anyway, if you happen to encounter the same problem with CM10 I suggest you try some other custom ROM.. Just make sure you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot erase cache", and if for some reason you decide to format the sdcard or simply forget to add in the ROM zip, you can do it in Recovery when you mount the device as USB under Advanced options. Best of luck!

Yeah CWM didn't load up, but I got it working again. Well it seems I'm back to getting the rom to install and being stuck at the boot screen again, so maybe I just need to use a different rom. Thanks for the help though

Okay, I've tried installing a few roms, but unfortunately I'm still on the boot screen, I can sometimes even reach the cyanogenmod boot screen, but get stuck there. I've read that this might be kernel issue, does anyone have any ideas?

CM10 requires a special boot.img for newer hboots. Check post 9308 in CM10 thread.

Stuck on White Boot Screen flashed wrong boot.img

Appreciated any help I can get here.
I'm attempting to flash my first custom ROM by following the instructions here (http://drippler.com/updates/share/how-unlock-root-install-custom-rom-your-htc-one-x).I've got to point 5 and instead of copying the zip file and boot.img to my phone I stupidly went and carried out the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command first. The result is the phone just hangs on the boot screen.
I can get back into recovery OK, but after a couple of hours searching I'm struggling to see how I can resolve this. I have tried a full restore from recovery but it didn't work.
I assume I have to put the boot.img and ROM zip file back on the phone and repeat the process. I cannot find a way to enable me to do this as I cant seem to mount the phone on the PC.
Thanks in advance.

You can mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device inside the recovery. What recovery do you have ?
You flashed the new boot.img already ? All you have to do is enter the recovery and perform a full wipe before you install the new rom. Of the rom is not on the phone sd you mount it first and copy the rom over. Then continue to install it

I have Clockmod v5.8.1.8
No I didn't transfer the boot.img file from the new ROM to the phone. I just typed 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' into the command prompt. The new boot.img file was in the fastboot folder.

http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Flash the above recovery, you have an old one that does not support usb mass storage !
Ow and the boot.img does not have to be on the phone, only the rom.zip to install it. The boot.img file is only flashed in fastboot as you did. No need to do anything else.
When you enter the new recovery you go to
MOUNTS & STORAGE - mount as mass storage device (most bottom option)

OK, thank you. New recovery installed, zip file transferred. Wipe cache partition & Wipe Dalvik Cache completed. Install from zip file completed. Re-boot and it still hangs.
I'm using the CM10 nightly from 17/2/2013 if this presents a problem at all?
I've also tried 'fastboot erase cache', which has no effect either.

Flash this boot.img
http://db.tt/uDdWaAtH
Also wipe everything ! Also data factory reset and under mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Otherwise it will not boot again

Appreciate you taking time to help me out. Thank you. Were still not there though, it's still hanging on the first boot screen.
The CM10 zip file is only 171MB which seems awfully small to me. I'm currently downloading the Viper Rom 3.3.7 which is 625MB. Could this be part of the issue? Am I trying to flash just an update and not full ROM?

Nope, AOSP ROMs are small in size. The zip you have is legitimate full ROM.

Thank you, that's that theory out of the window, I think this bloody phone may follow it !

Try this.....
First in recovery do
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the rom.zip, dont reboot and install directly the gapps.zip
Then you type
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img again (for cm10 the modded one)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
*fingers crossed*

Nice you tot it sorted ! :thumbup:

Also you probably want to flash a new recovery as well. Clockwork recovery has a habit of failing on one x phones. TWRP is currently the most stable recovery for One X.

No problem. I had issues with CWM failing to flash correctly on the One x. I have had no problems with TWRP. I have heard dozens of complaints about CWM in a few different phones especially the One x.
BTW I respond slow because I work for a living.
