[Q] unusual bootloop problem

me being the idiot that i am let my younger brother have a mess around with my one x, now i have no idea what he has done (im guessing he has messed with the roms) but it will boot as far as the first lock screen and then reboots.
i know it has less than 30% battery left but i am unable to let it charge because the phone will only stop its loop if i leave it on boot loader
it also fails in recovery mode and goes back into the endless loop
any help would be greatly appreciated

tried factory reset?

just did a stock recovery and now it stays stuck on the htc screen, anybody able to help me resurrect my phone???

Try from your pc
Fastboot erase cache
After putting your phone into fastboot USB mode.

Endless boot loops is usually 1 of 2 things,
Wrong boot img (or failure to flash it after changing roms)
Unstable overclock/undervolt settings.

now it gets pasts the boot screens and onto the homepage before it reboots itself, i think i have tried everything and i have read hundreds of threads on here and nothing seems to work

Since you don't actually know what has been done to it, full wipe may help.

Download a kernel of choice,
It should have a modules zip file & an IMG file.
Push the zip to your phone (you can do this in clockworkmod recovery - mount usb storage, drag zip from pc to phone - unmount)
Install from sdcard from within clockworkmod
Then put phone into fastboot usb, (bootloader) and flash the boot img. (you know how to do this right?)
If not,
You should have android sdk installed on your pc, place the boot img in the same folder as fastboot and adb etc - the folder is platform-tools)
Open cmd on pc when phone is in fastboot usb.
Ie.
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash boot imagename.img

No luck with what?
You can't even flash CWM recovery - why not?
Your phone has an unlocked bootloader right, that's needed for all this.
If it doesn't and your getting boot loop problems on stock with locked bootloader, I don't know what to suggest other than flashing a RUU.

ClockworkMod recovery and HTC One X

Right, I've had a look around the forum a bit now for help with my issue but decided it's time to post my own thread.
I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back installed clockwork recovery and CM 9. I now want to upgrade to the latest version of CM but my recovery won't boot up...
I've tried downloading the CWM manager to my phone and re flashing from there and tried flashing other recovers and yet it still tried Clock work mod flashes on and immediately off and my phone reboots...
Can anyone lend me their knowledge?
Thanks.

Put recovery.img in the fastboot folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open dosprompt ( cmd prompt )
Go to fastboot folder
Type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
And then enter recovery
I suggest you flash the latest cmw recovery 5.8.4.0
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

Currently at work so will try this when i get back home.
Although, im sure this is the process i followed when trying to fix the problem before posting this thread.
Will update.

i have the htc AT&T and everytime i load clockworkmod it just boots to the htc logo and stays there
twrp will take but it wont work right, "Failed to mount cache"

If its getting messy. Download the recovery and flash it via the htc one x toolkit in dev section. No commands just clicking LOL.
You put the zip into the recovery folder.connect yoir phone then just flash recovery. Personally twrp recovery works better. More options..

Twrp is failing too, I even locked the bootloader ran ruu then unlocked and rooted, Twrp let me root but won't install another rom. Fails to mount cache.
I guess at least I have root though

[Q] I did a really stupid thing (Formatted HTC One X ... completely)

So yeah ... Hi
Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.
When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.
Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.
I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.
Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard

Just to clear up any misreads or anything, the original HTC sense is also no longer available.

You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.
Good luck

Download this recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)
Flash it with fastboot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"
Should do it !

Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?

Hboot version?

2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation

hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong?

That only applies to Sense ROMs.
On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.
It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version.

Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.
I am not a rom developer, but feel free to ask whatever you want.

At the moment I am able to connect to my pc and able so that issieu has already been fixed
But yeah I'm stuck at the HTC boot up screen and I used to be stuck at a bootloop of CM10 before I flashed boot.img
I hope you guys know a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Finally took the plunge and rooted it, but can't do anything else?

Finally rooted the phone today, but when I try to go into an alternate recovery, or install a ROM (which I've never done before) the phone reboots (like it should I'm assuming) begins to load what I told it to do, and then I get an image of my phone with a red question mark above it, and my phone just reboots again.
What's causing this?

How are you flashing the recovery. The description you are describing is the stock recovery to flash a new recovery do it in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery name of recovery here)
Get the all in one tool from the dev section and it will do it for you.
All you need to do is choose which one you want CDMA or gsm, twrp or cwm (i prefer twrp for the one v)

'Ok the All in one tool worked. I flashed TWRP, wiped my caches and installed AOKP JB 4.1.2, i've got the "Initiating swagger" screen, how long should this take?It's been about 10 minutes...
So as far as i can tell, the rom install failed because i didnt complete the wipe (because the wipe through TWRP failed...) what causes this?

It will say it failed because the sd-ext didn't wipe (THAT'S A GOOD THING) the /sd-ext is your SD card lol. So did you get into the actual ROM for aokp? So when you clicked swaggerfy it froze? Hmm I'd try a different ROM or different kernel what kernel are u using. I reccomend Jan 3rd super slick (anything newer breaks the camera).
Edit: i noticed you said caches? Do did you click factory reset? I usually do factory and dalvik but i think factory does it all.

I hope I get a fairly quick response to this Followed some advide in that thread, flashed a kernel (I thought) using the All In One Tool, ever since, I've been stuck in a bootloop. Obviously I have access to my bootloader and TWRP (thankfully). My recovery backup returns the same results though.
Im new to this so I'll try toprovide all the info I can.
Followed the TUT on how to Unlock Bootloader and Root 2 days ago.
Yesterday, using the All In One tool, flashed TWRP onto phone.
Was unable to Flash AOKP JellyBean 4.1.2 so I asked for help again (ROM was flashed, but stuck on Initiating Swagger Boot)
Tried using All-In-One to flash (what I thought was) a kernel, since then, my phone just boots continuously or not at all (depending on if I wipe or whatnot)
While at work, I was able to Flash the AOKP rom and Boot into it, but after about 1 minute of use, it reboots.
This is where I'm at now.
My bootloader says
***UNLOCKED***
PRIMOC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.57.0000
RADIO- 1.00.05.0929

Jun 18 2012, 10:22:43
I'm using the latest version (2.3.3.) of TWRP
Is there anyway I can find, and delete, the boot.img I flashed with All-In-One, that caused this bootloop?

Found out why: radio is the new version aka .0928
HTC provided a new radio release and it screwed up being able to flash new JB roms. The fixable solution is to find the virgin mobile ruu exe and do that long process to get the old radio: .0521_2(?) back. I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec let me find it first

WHen I try to enter the fastboot code into the cmd shell, It just says that fastboot is not a recognized command...

That's because you aren't changing the directory to the fastboot folder.

Do NOT charge it over night. It damages the battery, and this is experience talking to you. Leave your phone charging for 3 hours, and that's sufficient.

[Q] How do I upgrade to CM 10.2?

It seems the last few updates to my OS haven't booted, but this was a "stable" version, so I thought it might, but it didn't. Do I need to update my recovery? If so, how do I do that?
Please bear my mind I am stupid and will require step by step instructions. Thanks in advance.

Here's a step by step instruction:
1st step: Unlock the boot loader at HTCDev.com
(Phone must be in fastboot mode; pres volume button down and power button)
2nd step: in the fastboot folder that you placed the unlock key (which HTC supplied) put the recovery that you want. Inside the fastboot folder, left shift and right click and select open command window from there and type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3rd step: open the rom that you've downloaded and want to flash and you'll be able to see a item call boot.img. Extract that out and dump into the fastboot folder where your recovery is. And type in the command window: fastboot flash boot boot.img
4th step: copy the rom over to the phone through your recovery (and gapps also if you're using a AOSP rom) and do a full wipe from there and install the rom that you downloaded (after that install the gapps if needed)

I've already rooted my phone, I'm running a previous version of CM. However, I do not have access to the original computer I used. Will this be a problem?

Hi there, I think I've chosen a right topic. So, now I have CM 10.2 RC1 installed on my HOX. How can I update it to new stable version without losing data and installed apps? The update appears in update settings, but I had a bad experience with it when I was trying to update from 10.1.3 to 10.2 RC1. What you think?

The 10.2 is the stable version.
It installs for me, but my phone gets stuck on the spinny CM logo bit.

I had the same issue when i had installed the 10.2 RC1 from the settings. Then I install the ROM from recovery mode and had to re-install all the apps. If the same think appears with 10.2 update, I'm gonna wait.

I installed from the recovery, and the same thing happened again.
How do I update my recovery? That might help.

You can try making a nandroid backup first than after which you download the update and flash in recovery but remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache and if anything goes wrong, you can still restore back your backup. Or another alternative is that you could backup your apps (not data) than do a full wiper and install the lastest version of cm10

type into fastboot: fastboot erase cahe
extract the boot.img in the rom than type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
than type in again: fastboot clear cache

Dnt you need to flash the boot.img after every update that you do for CM? :-\

I'm not sure but there's no harm flash the boot.img for it each time rather than ending your phone up into bootloop and do everything again right?

As with the maximus hd roms it's always recommended to flash the boot.img after every Rom update so I guess it won't be any different here.. avoids a lot of issues in the longer run..

Got it! Just made backup of all apps by Titanium Backup then flashed the ROM and restored the backup. Easy and nicely! I don't know whether I had to flash the boot.img again or not, but it works!
