[Q] Boot loop after stock recovery TWRP - HTC One X

Hi All,
Been having issues with my HTC One X for the past week now and haven't been able to solve it via google or searching this forum, so was hoping one of you kind people can assist a bit.
I do apologise if this issue has already been posted and I missed it, if you can link me I'll be eternally grateful.
Basically, had a few issues annoying me with my HTC so wanted to stick a custom ROM on it. Did some searching about, eventually got a plan together to unlock and root it. All went fine, unlocked it (S-On still) got TWRP recovery on it (Chose this as the ROM I was looking at claimed to be not compatible with CWR) and was booted back into my stock droid.
First thing I did after a successful boot was to go back into recovery and make a full backup (I may have not ticked the Cache and _android.secure)
Played about with the phone again a bit, getting some of the apps back on as it had been wiped, then made a second backup (This one I know I ticked all the boxes for)
Next I tried putting CleanROM on, but could get past the white HTC screen boot loop, after various reflashing the Boot.IMG and clearing cache, so fired up TWRP and restored back to my second backup. All back to normal.
Used the phone as normal for a day or so then I tried flashing another ROM (ViperX) same thing as CleanROM (White HTC screen boot loop) and then went on to try Team Baked's ROM. Managed to get this working successfully, however the ROM was not to my liking and decided to go back to my stock backup. Here's where the issue started.
Now, when restoring the backup the phone boots as far as displaying my background and the status bar at the top, however I cannot pull the status bar down and the ring to unlock the phone with doesn't appear. It sits here for a few second and then reboots. Boot loop.
I've tried clearing cache, restoring various different ways and restoring the boot.img (though I'm not sure I have the right one) but nothing works.
The last variation I tried for restoring involved:
1. Clearing the phone via TWRP (System Restore/Clear Cache/Clear Davik/Clear System/Clear SD Card (heard this can cause issues)/Clearing Android.Secure in that order)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Repeat step 1 (in case of locked files)
4. Reboot into Recovery
5. full restore (With MD5 check enable)
6. Clear Cache and Dalvik (Tried with just cache, also done Fastboot clear cache in another attempt)
7. Attempt to boot into OS.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if I have the right boot.IMG for my phone Model/kernal/other, to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the requirements. The details of my phone I've collected so far are:
Getvar version-main (Not sure if this is kernal or what) = 2.17.771.3
hBoot = 1.12.0000
radio = 2.1204.135.20H
CID = H3G_001
Basically, as far as I can tell from the masses of reading I've been doing, I won't be able to update to custom JB for a while so want to get back to my stock ICS and then OTA to JB when my carrier releases their version, then maybe sometime in the future when the ROM specific to my phone has been cracked consider switching to a custom.
on a final note, I've tried flashing both my backups, same result. I've also tried restoring the stock recovery and doing a system recovery with that. It appears to go through the motions (phone with green arrows? Also had the red exclamation mark, but only once of the 3 attempts) then reboots and it's still the same issue.
Thanks for reading through, any advice would be much appreciated. Used to love my phone but now can barely stand to look at it.
Cheers,
Sean

Ok, so I've now downloaded a different boot.img which should be for stock ics and after flashing that, then flashing stock recovery and doing a system restore via bootloader I will 50% of the time get the lock screen and when I unlock it I see the white HTC screen of the initial setup, then it sticks there a while and reboots. It also reboots after left at the lock screen.
To me this seems like it's doing a check or looking for a certain piece of software/file that's missing but is required to finish the start-up process. Anyone any ideas?
Even if someone can point me in the right direction for an RRU for my phone as football's RRU's seem to be the only one that has the one I need but as of 5 days before all this happened the site they're hosted on doesn't allow 500+MB downloads for free members
Cheers,
Sean
**EDIT** Just done a full device wipe then restored only the SYSTEM partition and manually flashed the boot, then when I restarted it sat on the white HTC on the device setup but eventually loaded up, allowed me to complete the device setup and then loaded into the OS. All seemed fine aside from the phone being stuck in turning off airplane mode. Rebooted it to see if that would clear it up and now I'm back to bootloops before the lock screen appears (I just get my background and status bar)

So you have a nandroid backup ! Then do this
Wipe all in recovery and i mean ALL except the sdcard obvious ! system,data,caches,dalvik cache...
Then boot back into fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img from the nandroid. Taken with TWRP the boot.img is called something like
Emmc.boot.win (or at least similar to this)
You can flash this file with fastboot command
Fastboot flash boot name of the boot.img (.win in this case)
Then enter the recovery and full wipe if you didn't o that already !
Restore the nandroid and boot it up :thumbup:
Should work

Perfect! Thanks so much man, I never even thought to flash the .wim, thought it had to be .img. Just successfully booted fully back into my old system. Hopefully will stay stable the next hour or so but looking good!
Thanks again,
Sean

Yes, the one came with Android_Fastboot_KIT_V12.x

And make sure you flash a 2.17 based ICS rom. You can not run the maximus JB rom on that 1.12 hboot !

I have forget to mention my device still S-ON
Please guide, sorry for troubling.

Download a 2.17 ics Rom and copy it to the phone (mount the sdcard within the recovery as a usb disk)
Take the boot.img file from that rom and copy it to the tool you used to flash it
Then enter the recovery and wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard ofcourse !!! (Cache,dalvik cache, system and data)
Then install the Rom.zip

No problem mate ! :thumbup:

If you're looking for a Rom, I've got hboot 1.12 as well and tried a few ROMs and only ones I got working were:
Team Baked, based on jellybean though still works with 1.12. No Sense though, and a few things weren't to my liking (to name a couple,backlights on buttons didn't work and multitask button was switched back to menu button like in older devices)
SkyDragon, ics ROM with sense. Only had this a short while but appeared to be an exact stock ROM, everything working the way it should, and with a few added extra improvements.
Good luck

Yes.
Copy the boot.img from the backup to your PC (you can mount SD card as USB from TWRP), flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And restore backup from TWRP.

Yeah, if you follow Mr hofs 1st post on the 1st page he describes all the steps required to restore. Worked perfectly for me

Thanks alot, got it back as it was before.

Need to clear a doubt; will I be able to update my device with the OTA, as my device is unlocked, S-ON & TWRP installed?

I hope so, I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've been reading, it should still be possible as long as you put back the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.
This website offers links to download the stock recovery
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/
As for relocking the bootloader, I think the process is to run this command whilst in Fast Boot USB mode
fastboot oem lock
After it's run there should be a purple "RELOCKED" at the top of your bootloader menu.
Remember to flash the recovery BEFORE you relock the bootloader

You do not have to lock the bootloader, just the stock recovery is needed ....
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery
Here is the 2.17 based stock recovery for those who needs it

Back to Stock HTC Euro Rom

I have searched to find the answer to this but the going from 1.29 to 1.28 bit is confusing me.
I have an HTC One X that was on T-Mobile UK 1.26. I usedthe HTC Dev and clockwork and ended up with the LeeDroid Rom with 1.29 firmware.
I have the phone for sale and have someone local who wants it, but he says he wants the standard rom on it or a stock HTC one. Don't ask why, I don't know.
What exactly can I do to get it back...I have some backups I made via the option in Recovery all the way back to the T-Mobile rom...with options to restore boot.img
Or can't I go back because I am on 1.29 ?

You can go back; it's only if you'd done an official update (OTA or RUU) that you'd be stuck, because they also update the bootloader and you can't downgrade that.
Since you've got backups I would just restore the backup of the T-Mobile ROM, flash the boot.img which is in the nandroid backup folder, then (if he's wanting it completely stock), flash the stock recovery and lock the bootloader again.
Alternatively, if you can find a T-Mobile RUU you can just lock the bootloader then run the RUU to write everything back to stock, but it seems a waste of time downloading a full RUU when you've got a backup of the software you want already sitting there.
Hey thanks, will give that a try..cheers
I flashed the original backup from April in recovery and it just hangs at a white screen on reboot.

Did you flash the boot.img via fastboot as well?
Does that have to be done on my pc ? I just flashed the boot.img then the actual backup. Via the phone
Unless you're s-off you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, so you need to do it from your computer using fastboot. Exactly the same as when you're flashing a ROM.
I never used a pc for anything to get it to the Leedroid...I'll have to look for a guide to do what you said. Apart from when I did the HTC Dev unlock thing.
Thanks for your help.

Interesting; I'm impressed your ROM's been working, seeing as you've seemingly been using the stock 1.26 boot.img with the 1.29 ROM.
Anyway, it's a similar (red identical) process to the one you used to unlock the bootloader. Assuming you've still got the fastboot executable on your PC from when you unlocked, and a copy of the boot.img from the backup you're trying to restore:
1) copy boot.img into the same folder as the fastboot binary
2) turn your phone on in fastboot mode (turn it off, hold vol-down and power on and it should boot into bootloader; select 'fastboot' from the menu if it doesn't automatically load into fastboot mode)
3) connect the phone to the PC via USB (the text on the phone should now say "fastboot USB")
4) on your PC open a command prompt and navigte to the folder containing your boot.img and the fastboot binary
5) run the following command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
6) run the following command: fastboot erase cache
7) run the following command: fastboot reboot
I've just reverted back to stock recovery instead of the original boot for some reason, been at a wedding and am a bit very drunk still, so I really need to get the stock boot.img file from somewhere don't I.
Edit, I found it in clockwork folder by connecting to pc and it is 8mb from April.
I did what you said and it all worked, great thanks. I am now back on stock boot.img abd back to tmobile 1.26....but still with the clockwork recovery and still rooted.
I know how to revert back to the stock recovery as I just did it by mistake...should I be d-rooting it or whatever you call it...and will I have wiped out my sim unlock I paid for ?
Also it is offering me an update of 28 or so mb, is this safe to install ? I am on 1.26 right now. Or do I want to get rid of clockworkd and revert to stock recovery first ?
The 28mb update will be the 1.28 update; you would need to restore the stock recovery and lock the bootloader again to install that (it will just download and fail if you try to install it now).
If the person you're selling it to wants it completely back to stock, then flash your stock recovery, then go back into fastboot (same process as before) and use the command fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader again. Then accept the update and it'll be back to stock and updated to 1.28.
No idea about SIM-unlocks, sorry. I imagine it would still hold (otherwise everyone who's flashing ROMs, updates or backups would need to keep re-doing it), but I'm honestly just guessing at this point so don't take any of that as anything conclusive.
Ok I did all that and relocked it just about to do the update. Thanks very much for your help.

[Q] Help me please!!!

Please help me I may be in some deep poop here
Hi, I recently tried to root my HTC one X from the latest firmware (jellybean) using this http://ausdroid.net/2012/04/02/how-to-root-the-htc-one-x/ method. Unfortunately it didn't work and instead put the phone into a boot loop. I managed to flash a version of CWM recovery onto it, and I downloaded the viperX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176 rom and used adb push to put it onto the sd card so I could install it. I installed it and select no custom kernal when it asked me and it had no effect. So i tried installing it again but I ticked custom kernal to see what it did. Big mistake - the phone tries to boot, it has the viperx snake thingy in the boot screen, it gets to the lock screen and is completely unresponsive and crashed. I tied downloading another rom (nocturnal) and installing that but it had no effect.
I've tried using a RUU to fix it but none of the ones I tried work, they get an error, wrong bootloader version. I relocked the bootloader and flashed a stock recovery onto it but still no luck.
Please please help me anyone!!!!

What custom recovery do you have ? Type and version ?
First, you should be able to mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive from within the recovery !
Second, you need to flash the boot.img file from the viper.zip (its inside the rom.zip).
Third, you need to perform a FULL wipe in the recovery before installing the actual rom.
Your hboot is not the problem. Its one or more of the things above.
And also check what is on top of your bootloader. Does it say ENDEAVORU ?
First off, thanks for your help. I've unlocked the bootloader again, flashed the boot image from the viperx zip and reinstalled viperx but it still won't boot. How do you perform a full wipe, and also in the installer for the rom it said something about flashing the kernal manually if you don't have s-off (in the botloader it says s-on).
BTW i'm using cwm recovery v6.0.1.9
Oke, first of all download the viper x 3.3.7. The JB version !
A FULL wipe ? You have to delete all data in the recovery. Wipe caches,dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. Format cache, data, system. Then install the Rom. And right before you install the rom you unhook the usb cable too.
The boot.img is flashed with a command like this
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Used that before ?
Ok there's my first problem i had an old version of viperx, it was an ics one and my phone had jb on it.
Yes i'm familiar with using the fastboot flash command, its the only way I managed to get cwm on there
Also, just to be clear, I flash the new boot.img (the one in the viperx folder) before or after I install the new rom?
Yes you flash the new boot.img, perform a full wipe in the recovery, unhook the usb cable ! Then install the new rom.
Select full wipe in the installer, kernel question is answered by pressing viper x delivered.
Ok thanks, i'm trying to put the new rom onto the phone now, I've formatted system, /sdcard, ect in cwm plus cleared the caches, I've mounted sdcard and typed into adb: adb push ViperX3.3.7.zip sdcard, i'm waiting for it to finish pushing, its taking a while
Its done, by viperx delivered you mean viperx supplied right? I used that one, its installing now, fingers crossed..
Its easier to go into the mounts and storage section of the recovery and mount is as a mass storage device (diskdrive) its like inserting a usb stick
OK its booting, it had the viperx snake going across the boot screen, now its displaying the htc one boot screen...
Sucses! Its working again. I'll make sure to install cwm and make a backup straight away.
Thankyou so much for your help, i've sent you a little something for your trouble
Thanks mate, appreciate it ! have fun with Viper X JB !
CASE CLOSED !

[Q] HTC ONE X - Touchscreen not responding

Dear Xda'ers,
I recently bought a second hand HTC ONE X.
I was not convinced about the battery life so i decided to root the device and to flash another ROM.
Everything went fine till i had to flash the ROM. In the tutorial they showed a step where you had to boot the device into recovery mode by using the terminal "fastboot boot boot.img". Unfortunately this step didn't work out for me, it stayed stuck at the HTC LOGO. So i decided to just do it without the command and flash it from the recovery mode at the device itself. (Power + Volume down --> Recovery --> Install from zip --> ...)
Not a good idea ...
The device came in an endless bootloop and recovery mode was not accessible.
After a few hours searching at forums i finally found a solution.
I tried to instal many different Rom's but none of them would work, except for one: " LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0 ".
Again everything went fine,the phone started up as it was supposed to do.
Unfortunately when the phone was booted, the touchscreen did not respond to anything at all..
I recorded it :
youtu.be / tXnVFkzwvu0
(there is are spaces in the link, because i'm not able to post links yet.)
This is my first post on XDA, i would rather just look at existing topics, but none of them worked out. So can please somebody help me?
I guess I still have a few months warranty but the bootloader is unlocked so bye bye warrenty.

Use CWM/TWRP to flash new roms. First you need to flash the boot.img from the LeeDroidROM.zip... Since you haven't done that, it might be a reason for the non working touch screen...
Follow these steps:
1. Reboot your phone into bootloader (Power + Volumedown)
2. Go into fastboot and then connect to your PC
3. Go to your fastboot folder and open CMD over there and fire the following command:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img (You will find this in LeeDroidROM.zip)
fastboot erase cache
4. Disconnect your phone from PC and select HBOOT and the select Recovery from there.
5. Once CWM screen is shown:
Wipe Data
Cache Partition-Wipe cache
Advanced-Wipe Dalvic cache
6. Now install zip from sd: select your ROM.zip and flash it.
7. Reboot
Maybe a mismatch between the ROM(s) you are using (other than stock obviously) and your hboot version?
For example, the ROM you're using is an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM and you're running a seriously new version of hboot (1.39 is newest iirc), this is most probably creating issues. I know my hboot (1.12) for example wont let me run 4.2.x ROMs, but 4.1.x is fine as I'm running SlimBean 3.1.
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, I'M STILL LEARNING! I'm still trying to get my head around hboot (having owned a HOX for 3 months), like knowing what changes were made or features added/removed in each hboot version...
ONLY IF you continue having problems AND no more with more experience comes to your aid (which they will btw ), flash TripNDroid's ROM here as it has unified hboot support, but isn't the most stable ROM on the face of the planet.
Just a slightly educated guess, sorry I can't be of more help.
Go with vin4yak's answer lol.
His HBOOT is 1.39... (from 1st post)
Yes, some ICS roms don't work well with upgraded firmwares/hboots... But I haven't faced any problem running ICS rom with Hboot 1.39 and 3.17xxx firmware... (Had tried ARHD)...
If it's a ROM specific issue, then he might need to try another JB Rom..

Also thanks for the reply,
I installed the " CM10 [JB v4.1.2] - v029 " Rom you mentioned, the phone boots perfectly but again the touch screen gives no sign of live....
If phone is off - power it on and wait for Android to fully load.
Wait for screen to turn off, then press power button to wake the screen.
You wont be able to unlock it but are the lights for the back-lighting of the hard keys at the bottom of the handset coming on? (It's just that they don't look like they are in your video)
If they're not coming on it could be a hardware problem... but I'd like someone to confirm that there aren't or are any partitions (inaccessible ones due to S-ON, or the ones that can be modified after bootloader unlock) that holds drivers for the touchscreen?

Yes indeed there are enlightened. I really can't believe that a touchscreen can get damaged from flashing..
It must have something to do with the drivers, but my knowledge is unfortunately a little too weak to make it out for myself.
Meanwhile i'm trying various things.. yet without succes
Likewise, my knowledge is also too weak to know if the touchscreen drivers (if there are even touchscreen drivers! Whichever partition they reside in) are exposed to damage.
My last guess if you have a faulty digitizer.
Unfortunately bud this is the limit of my help
Do the following command in fastboot
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
And post the result here... May be going back to stock will work for you?

I read the thread ! Strange issues here..... You are at a practical dead point so i guess you guys don't mind trying a new recovery......it even works with the latest 3.20 base including touch
http://db.tt/oGDkMlwc
Maybe it helps somewhere
And another idea i have is to get the right firmware and relock the bootloader, flash the firmware in ruu mode and unlock it again. So the whole update process will be clean from the start
Try the method of Mr Hofs first.

I think i might have some good news, i flashed the recoverymode you mentioned in a previous reaction. And there it is possible to navigate with the touchscreen, so i must be software related!
Now i'm going to use your Nandroid Back up, hopefully it works.
The touchdriver is updated for the bases :
3.16
3.17
3.18
3.19
3.20
Twrp had a recovery that worked with touch on those bases but the ums was broken. Now Phil has one that works with touch and ums ! Good man .......
On the latest bases its recommended to use cwm #6 series (non touch) and this one because its fully working. When you mount the sdcard it might take a while to pop up (up to a minute) but its working at least !
Oke the conclusion so far..
i tried flashing the following recovery mods :
- Philz touch recovery.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
- recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
- CWM-6030-advwipe-jb422-nontouch-recovery-endeavoru-v1.1.img
Only with "Philz touch recovery.img" i was able to navigatie true the menu's with the touchscreen, so i has to be software related.
I tried to instal the Rom "LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0.zip" when i was installing it i could problem-free use the touchscreen to navigate true to the setup. Once it was installed the phone rebooted using the freshly installed Rom. Unfortunately once it was on the home screen, the touch stopt responding again..
i tried these Rom's :
- LeeDrOiD_One_Xtreme_V6.4.0.zip
- cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-029.zip
- jellybam-v7.2.1_endeavoru-STABLE.zip
- Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_21.0.zip
- ...
Non of them worked with touch
Then i tried to restore using a NanDroid back up from Mr Hofs, nothing happend..
To be honest, i have no idea what to do next..
Someone else does?
Thanks for your times guys.
How did you restore my nandroid backup ? Flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup, made a full wipe and restored it ?

Mr Hofs, you can not believe how grateful I am to you.
I searched 2 longs days after a solution, and finally it works again. MANY MANY MANY thanks !
I forget to flash the boot.img
Guess i'll leave it like it is now.
Maybe one last question, do you have any idea what caused this problem?
Because i'm quite sure i will likely flash it again to a Clean Android look, and i rather do it correct
Many thanks for your time and advice !
A rom has always to be flashed in the same way as a nandroid backup.
Flash the boot.img, make a full wipe and install the rom.
The older roms won't work indeed because of the updated touchdrivers. Afaik only 3.14 and up roms are fully working.
So if you want to flash a new rom make sure its a JB rom based on 3.14 or higher

Back to stock rom??

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a acer iconia a100 rooted and currently running the carbon rom (4.2.2) and twrp recovery (2.6.3.0). I would like to go back to stock rom (ICS). I have not changed any kernals or anything like that. Can I just restore my nandroid backup of my stock rom or is there something specific I have to do? Also, I just looked and I dont have a stock backup with twrp, only with cwm. When I unlocked bootloader, I installed cwm, then must have done a backup of stock rom, then flashed carbon rom, then switched to twrp and made another backup so I would have to go back to cwm to restore nandroid. How do I go back to cwm from twrp?? Thanks for the feedback.
I looked in my internal storage and it looks like I have 2 zips, fastbootrecovery.zip and xsposeddisabler-cwm.zip, do I flash one of these?? and if I do, can I do it with es explorer?? Thanks

Just the stock ROM or completely back to stock, 100%?
If you don't know what those zips are, or how to use them, then don't use them, period.
To get back cwm you can use fastboot to flash it back on or use one of the cwm installers in development, if any are still there, if you want to do it with fastboot you'll need some stuff to get ready, most of it should be there from when you rooted the first time, then a couple lines in a command prompt and you'll have it back. There's also stock rooted ICS ROMs available, so depending on what you want we can go from there.

I am going to sell my tablet so I would like to go to my backup of my stock rom. When I restore my stock backup, I can just do a full wipe, that will get me back to the starting point of just the basic rom, right?? That will wipe all my data from the backup rom, or will a full wipe erase the rom too?? I want to get back to the basic rom (just like if I install a new rom) have to set up accounts, wifi, etc).
Also, is there a tutorial or a step by step guide to reinstall cwm back on my tablet, since my stock rom was backed up with cwm? And where do I have the files to reflash cwm. Thanks for your assistance in helping me return my tablet to the state I want.

I found a site that has it step by step, installing cwm. Here it is.
Here it is guys, Stock CWM Recovery for the ACER A100.
Before anything make sure you have the latest ICS leak C/O Vache, Root, and Unlocked Bootloader.
Official ICS Leak c/o Vache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1510706
Root Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1531646
Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1557445
once you have done all of the above, you should be ready to flash this recovery. Make sure you have ADB up and working properly. And place the recovery.img in your working folder (see below)
1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.
2- Connect Tablet to pc and get excited.
3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)
4- Type: adb reboot bootloader
5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.
6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot
7- Profit
But it says make sure you have the latest ics leak?? Are they refferring to the rom?? If so, I currently have carbon rom istalled which is jellybean. This will not work then?? I am a little confused and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Well, before the tab got official ICS, we had a leak. If you had read down the topics some you would've found it. You do not want cwm, you want twrp.

To just go back to stock to sell it you'll run into a couple issues coming from 4.2+, namely the storage path changes, you'll retain the /0 folders, however many were made. Otherwise following the guide that roman made will work to go back to 100% stock, I'll see if I can get a link, I'm in a waiting room with crappy data lol
Edit:
That guide will work for installing cwm, basically get your cwm image then get fastboot going, fastboot flash recovery cwmimageyougot.IMG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33574648
Best way to return to 100% stock. No need to fuss with recoveries just install what he says then the ROM does the rest. While in twrp remember to go delete /0 directories or they'll remain there forever. Or until its deleted at a later date, but if you have stuff in there you should do it prior to going fully stock again.

Thanks for the response, youve fully confused me with the /0 folders?? What exactly is that?? When I go to es file explorer, I see sdcard0 (which looks like the internal storage) and sd01 which looks like my ext sd card. Is it one of those your are talking about??
Also, you said something about go delete in twrp, I went into twrp and did not find anything with that name?? am I deleteing something in twrp. Could you spell it out for me since I am a noob when it comes to reverting a device to stock. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

that is something happening with cwm. i had this problem. it keeps creating a folder names 0 and keep moving old files into that whenever you install a new rom.
Hello guys. I need your feedback. I have a A100 that is rooted and is currently running carbon rom 4.2. I am going to be selling this in the next couple weeks because I just don't use it anymore now that I have a second pc.Do you think it would be more advantagious to sell this just the way it is (rooted and custom rom) or should I take it back to completely stock? Or if it is more advantagious to sell it with a custom rom, which rom would you guys suggest?? Thanks again for any and all suggestions.
Please Help!! I was trying to go to stock ics and these are the steps I used.The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.
+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++
Get Ready
1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio
http://db.tt/VLmnMCzq
Also uploaded below
2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom
The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1611696
Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto
3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.
Get it Done
1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.
2) Reboot to system.
3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
4) Then Power off.
5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.
****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******
Quote:
To perform a Factory Data Reset use the following steps:
1.Place the rotation lock switch in the up position (tablet held in portrait). Or to the left if held in landscape.
2.Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the corner (it is volume up, if held in landscape).
3.With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4.Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5.Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
Now I get the android symbol with the red triangle, that stays for about a minute, then it reboots and stays on thye acer screen. When I did the steps and was going to reboot, I received a waring while in recovery sayiny that I dont have a op installed. I did it anyway, as posted and now I'm stuck, can anyone PLEASE help me.I tried doing a reset with steps 2 though 4 but while pressing the vol up and letting go of the power button, it does not vibrate.
I try to boot into recovery with vol up + power, it boots than says erasing cache, then booting into recovery, the the android synbol comes up with the red triangle.
I can't even get into recovery. It says bootloader (unlock mode) when I pwer it on. If I press power + vol up, it says erasing cache, then booting into recovery kernal, then the android symbol comes up with the red triangle.Thanks for responding and since this is the wrong thread, can we discuss this in the other thread?? While I was typing this, the android symbol with the triangle was on the screen for about 2 minutes, then it just rebooted and now its saying acer acer acer acer acer on the bottom of the screen.
Can anyone help me out with this please?

[Q] HTC One X Restor Failure - Not Loading

Hi. First of all congratulations on you exceptional work and great forum, I am a frequent reader!
Since yesterday when I turned it on I have not network connection on my phone (HTC One X). I tried the same sim card on a different device and it works, so I guess is something with the device, not the SIM or the carrier. As I recently (2 months ago) rooted and installed a custom ROM (cyanogenmod) following this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807) I thought it could be something with the ROM and tried to went back to my original HTC version (before I install the cyanogenmod version I did what I think is a backup of my original ROM).
As it says in the tutorial I am using teamwin recovery project, so I used this software to backup, install the new ROM and now I am trying to restore the backup, but it is not working - it looks like it completes restore with success, then I reeboot the phone and it stays forever in the HTC splash screen...
Can anyone please help me with that?
Thanks!
Just a note: before it reboots the phone it says you device does not appear to be rooted and prompt me to install SuperSU now. I tryed it both doing it and not, dont know if it helps.

Thanks robchongke!
So I instaled the SuperSU (I still had it on a folder in the phone), then I went into restore, selected the older folder (which should countain my original ROM), all the process went ok with no errors in the console (restore completed in 149), then restart (again asking if I want to root my phone or not), I said no this time and then the same is happening, the phone starts with but stays forever in the splash screen. When you say "dont forget to flash the backupĀ“s boot.img also what do you mean exaclty? You mean in the restoring screen, after select the backup folder, select both Boot and System? That's is selected by default so I just "swipe to restore"...
Thank you for you help!

you have to flash the boot.img so it wont bootloop. if you have a copy of your backup in your computer copy the boot.img and place it inside your fastboot folder if you do not have a copy you can mount your phone in recovery. boot into bootloader then enter this command in command prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
flash erase cache.

Oh that's a different think then... Thank you very much for your reply! Meanwhile I installed the ROM I had in my folder again - the version I installed first - and it worked fine and I have phone signal again! So everything is solved, not with the first solution I thought, but at least is working now. Now the pain of get all the apps installed again and configure everything...
Anyway, thank you very much robchongke, your help was great and I am sure if I had the knowledge to follow your instructions I would have the stock version installed right now.
