[Q] no working rom; acces to SD from bootloader?

I have tried to install CM9 to my One X, but appearantly something went wrong (after installing it tries to boot, but doesn't pass the nicely done/animated 'loading' screen).
is there a way to acces the SD-card from the bootloader (which still works, unlocked etc). So i can copy over the .zip again incase that was faulty.
Also; when going into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots the phone (go into CM9 again). so that wont work :/
any thoughts?
edit1:
oh yeah:
C:\Users\username\Desktop\HTC\onexroot>fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-end
eavoru.img'
wut? ^^

try using fastboot erase cache first
might fix everything
this command is wrong
C:\Users\username\Desktop\HTC\onexroot>fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
it should be fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
and you can use adb push to send files to your phone

Yeah, noticed the command was wrong. Fixed that, got a working recovery now.
However, clearing the cache didn't fix the issue. My 'guess' is that the CM9 .zip is just faulty.
Ill look into that adb push thing now, to find out how to push the img to the phone.
TY so far

might want to check the md5sum of the file you downloaded
it used to give me trouble back then. Some internet issues corrupted the file.
Hmm, btw, did you flash the kernel?
I mean the cm9 specific kernel?

My guess is i did not flash the kernel
im still quite new to all this, have rooted/custom rommed my desire before; but that was all 1 click
How does one update the kernel and what is the main purpose?

U need to extract file "boot.img" from the rom ZIP. put it in your fastboot folder.
Then use fastboot Command:
'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
erase Cache recommended before first boot
Edit: oh yeah ... and the purpose is, that the Rom needs the appropriate kernel to run. Its like the heart of the System.

devs are usually supplying both the rom and the kernel for the hox.
There is an issue that prevents the kernel to be flashed from CWR so you have to flash it yourself.
use flashboot boot kernel name.img on fastboot
kernel is the bridge between hardware and software or something like that

The issue is caused by the device being s-on.
The command is fastboot flash boot boot.IMG after do fastboot erase cache.
But yes the kernel sits between applications and hardware.

Fixed the problem
i DID update the kernel; so that was fine (just didn't know the boot.img was in fact the kernel)
Fixed the recovery after which i could access the SDcard to update the CM9 zip file.
This time it installed fine and despite some known bugs seems to do the trick.
Ty for all your help really needed a push in the right direction ^^

Both CM9/CM10 hangs at boot.

My procedure in chronological order:
Flashed recovery TWRP 2.3
Wiped everything possible in the wipe-tab
Installed CM9/10 from zip on SD-card (zip contains META-INF, system and boot.img)
Flashed boot.img from the zip file CM9/10
Issued the command fastboot erase cache
Unplugged cable and reboot
What happens is that I am stuck at the HTC booting screen. I have been here for about 30-40 minutes. If I try any adb shell command I receive this error: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -. Clearly, something is not right here. I will not speculate because I lack the knowledge to do so. Any help is appreciated because I have been phone-less for a day now and it is getting irritating. Thanks!

Seems you did everything correctly.
Try to flash via ClockWorkMod recovery.

I just did the same procedure as before but with clockworkmod instead. Still hung at booting screen. I get the same error as before. Is root access a must? I have not done any exploit, only thing I have done is unlocked my boot loader at HTCDev.

No, I have not. Maybe I should give it a try? Or is it not required? Should I not be able to start the phone without any gapps?
Do you by chance have any ROM you can recommend that works so I could try it out and exclude problems? Would very like to know if it is my phone or ROM that is buggy.

It should boot without them, but better to give it a try.
Ironically, I've been using CM10 for more than a month now and never had any problems booting.

If you have an hboot newer than 1.12 you need a different boot.img, check the bottom if the ROM OP.

I have hboot 1.3 or something I think. I downloaded the different builds at get.cm. Where can I get the boot.img if not the one in the zip file? Do you mean whichever thread that CM have posted themselves here on xda? Would you mind sending a link to where I can find the boot.img?

Thanks, but still a no go. What I did was take the modified boot from your link and the boot.img from the zip file, do the online converter as stickied on the forum, then did the procedure all again but this time I flashed the new boot.img I got from combining the old and the new boot.img. Still hangs at boot. Very annoying. I am currently using a modified stock ROM and I dislike it very much.

Hey,
I have exactly the same issue. I've unlocked my bootloader using the method as specified by htcdev.com. Then I flashed the newest CWM recovery. But if I flash any ROM, I'm stuck at its boot animation. However if I then unzip the boot.img from the ROM, and flash that (fastboot flash boot boot.img), my phone won't boot past HTC screen. Even erasing the cache didn't help (fastboot erase cache).
I've restored the stock ROM using the RUU, however during the process something went wrong and it formatted my sd-card. So I'm stuck with the stock ROM, without any applications or data.
Can anybody help me flash CM10?
My Hboot version is 1.36.0000
And I'm trying to flash the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip ROM.
Thanks in advance

You cannot use the boot.img that comes with the zip out of the box if you have Hboot 1.36. What you have to do is repack it, taking the boot.img from the zip file and then a modified boot.img here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=9173 (thanks TToivanen), then as I understood it, repack it for instance here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815607, download the repacked boot.img and flash that.
With that said, I could not get it running but it might be something wrong with my phone. Please try this out and tell me if it works or not so I may start to conclude where the error lies.

Sorry, but all I can say is that you did a mistake at some point.
Try installing again with full wipe and remember to wipe cache and dalvik.
You are referring to the official CM10 and not Trip's or any other builds right?

I see, then it is not only I who have this problem.
And a heads up, if the backup would go wrong, I currently use this ROM and it works pretty good if you want stock or cannot be arsed to get a root exploit for the stock ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035203.
Would be great if anyone has any ideas why irundaia and I cannot make CM10 work?

You're right, I forgot to do that. I does boot now, still at a loss though. Can't we downgrade our Hboot to a version in which we know that CM can be flashed?

Kinda out of ideas here...
Can you confirm that the boot.img flashes ok? (should say OKAY)
Also confirm that you have endeavoru and not evita.

[Q] How to create a flashable zip of the boot.img

I have a super CID S-OFF Tegra 3 One X, and have been flashing many ROMs on it. Everytime while flashing a new ROM I have flash boot.img through command prompt for which I need to be with the laptop always. Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a flashable zip of the boot.img which I can flash in recovery. I heard that for super CID with S-OFF devices we can flash boot.img in the recovery.
I googled for the solution and all I noted is I need to have a Linux Operating system. I have Windows Xp and SDK installed in it. Is there any luck I can drink coffee while flashing boot.img along with new custom ROMs?

Wut? Just flash the rom.zip, it flashes the boot.img without any tinkering necessary.

Yeah ...and making a Flashable zip will take probably the same time as flashing it directly with fastboot

If your phone is S-OFF you do not need to flash boot.img separately.

Even I thought the same. But the same is not happening. Even checked in recovery while flashing there is no command run for boot flash. I remember while flashing ROMs in DHD it use to show flashing boot same like flashing system and data. Is it because in the custom ROMs script's are missing for boot flash?

You are right.
I just examined a couple of scripts and the results are following:
boot.img is flashed:
Stock ROM
ARHD
CM10.1
AOKP
boot.img is not flashed:
ViperX
Chefs probably pull the support for flashing boot.img because the probability of having a S-OFF phone is very slim.

Nah you don't need any SDK.
Only WinRAR and a text editor.
Extract updater-script from /META-INF/com/google/android/ and add the following line:
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
Add it somewhere in the end, however before it unmounts /system/
Save and quit, then delete the original updater-script from the zip and add the new one.

We need to know which stock system version you had to get the right kernel ideally or if you have a custom recovery you could go and flash a new rom which will have a kernel to go with it (depending on your hboot version).

Then flash the boot.img from the cm10 rom. Its inside the zip
Then you make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10 and right after that the gapps file (all can be downloaded from the cm10 thread)
Reboot and done

All flashing can be done with the toolkit

You can put files into the storage by booting into cwm recovery, selecting mount USB storage, and connecting it to your computer.
For how to flash ROMs, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 second post.

Battery too low ?
Oke put this file inside the fastboot folder on the pc (you have the fastboot.exe file, should be in one of the folders in the toolkit dir)
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
Execute this file with the phone in the bootloader ! It will continuing to loop your bootloader and charge it little by little. Let it run for about 30 min and then flash again the recovery. The recovery name must be just "recovery.img" so rename it if needed

So after I've done that, How would I flash the rom, I can't mount sd storage through cwm because it says " uns error, no such file or directory" I formatted the usb earlier, could it have something to do with that? Is there any other way?

Thats because i told you to flash the new recovery first from the link i gave you. That one is able to mount the sdcard so you can copy the rom + gapps to it

[Q] Wifi & Bluetooth issues

I all, I've recently been having issues with my HTC One X and the Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity/range.
I've found that my wireless headphone need to be almost on top of the phone to connect, and the wifi drops to only just connected whilst other phones can sit just beside with full signal.
This has not always been the case, it may have been related to flashing the XM Kernal, but cannot be certain.
Since I have flashed CM10.2 nightly and understand it flashes it's own kernal, but I'm still experiencing these issues.
Can someone help?
Thanks, Joss.

The steps I've taken so far is to flash the boot.img via fastboot.
Installed the CM10.2 .zip via CWM Recovery.
And the appropriate clearing of cache and data etc.
The rom is booting just fine and works a treat, except for the low quality wifi and bluetooth.
Have I missed something else?

ok I'll assume your phone is s-off. either way do this:- if you have the rom installed already, flash the XM boot.img via fastboot, then reboot into recovery and mount usb storage and copy the entire original XM zip file(not just the boot .img) onto your card. now install the XM zip while in recovery and reboot

sorry it took a while to reply I couldn't type properly for laughing, don't be offended but "where are the cakes" is my signature lol. and yes you can do that with s-on also, although if you are s-on and flash the xm boot image via fastboot installing the rom afterwards should not overwrite the xm boot.img. anyway do what i said, with installed rom, flash xm boot, then install modules in recovery(the xm zip file)

How is that your signature...it's only on some of your replies?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I followed your instructions correctly, but now CM won't boot...whenever this happened previously, it was because I had not re-flashed the CM boot.img.
Should I have done this, or are you trying to leave the XM boot.img there?

Did u flashed the cm version of xm kernel or the sense version?

its only my sig on phone but not pc.
yes you have to leave the xm, that is the point of flashing the custom kernel, it replaces the cm one. and convictmoody asked a relevant question, did you get the correct xm kernel, the aosp one?

ok from the beginning, download Xm kernel aosp version, copy the boot image from the downloaded zip into your fastboot folder.
next go into recovery and format these four, system, data, cache and sdcard.
now mount usb storage and copy the the cm rom.zip onto sdcard and then the whole xm zip file that you downloaded.
now boot into boot loader and do these exactly without the quotes, and when you press enter after each command make sure it says "okay" so you know it actually worked. "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then again "fastboot erase cache".
now reboot recovery and install the rom but DO NOT REBOOT.
now clear dalvik
next, while still in recovery, install the xm zip file that you copied over with the rom.
again clear dalvik and then reboot.

Thanks for your help by the way.
