Phone only starts to CWM - won't boot

Please Help me, I don't know what to do anymore...
Phone is unlocked!
I wanted to install Stock Rom and downloaded RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe from shipped roms, I extracted rom.zip and flashed system.img and boot.img in fastboot.
And now Phone only starts in CWM and won't boot... If I flash Ruu I will lose Unlocked bootloader I think?
Tried flasing sensemod rom but also didn't boot...
Please help :-(
Can I load batterie when phone is off or do I nee strock recovery?
CWM shows:
"E:Invalid command argument"
How can I get latest stock rom
PS: I'm downloading RUU​_Marvel​_S_HTC​_Europe​_2.13​.401​.3_Radio​_47.23c​.35.3037​...exe from filefacotry at the moment but I'm not sure if I can flash (original branding was t-mobile germany)
EDIT:
OH MY GOD , I don't know why but I reflashed system.img and boot.img , wiped everything (dalvik, cache, data) and pulled out battery. After doing that phone boots normaly...
SORRY for making trouble but this isn't my phone!

I have shown how to fix that in my tutorial (link is in my sig)

flashing ruu wont loose your unlock. (and its obtainable again.) Just flash the ruu and report back

Thanks for your help!
The trick was pulling out the battery after flashing, after that the phone booted normally.
I flashed System.img and boot.img from latest ruu via fastboot!
IF it won't work after that try advanced -> "reboot recovery" and after that normal reboot

HTC One X and maXimus V2.2 - stuck in Boot Loop

Hi guys, first time poster here, hope i've got the right sub-forum.
So i've ran into some issues whilst attempting to flash the maXimus v2.2 custom rom to my HOX. Here's what i've done so far:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCdev
Installed Clockwork Mod + SuperSU
Created a Backup using Nandorid, as well as a Titanium apps backup.
I then attempted to flash to maXimus v2.2 by doing the following:
Copy ROM zip file onto HOX
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cash
Install zip from SD card
All seemed to go okay, but i'm now stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that I didn't copy boot.img to my phone before the flashing process, as I was over-reliant on the tut I was using and it didn't mention this.
to rectify the situation, i've tried rebooting into bootloader and sending the fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader commands, but still stuck in the bootloop.
My question is two part - firstly, how do I escape this situation? Secondly, when I go to reflash my HOX, where do I get the boot.img file from?
Thanks in advance, i've tried to be as detailed as possible but this is my first time flashing a custom ROM so if I missed anything out please let me know!

Enter to HBOOT in the Bootloader
Unzip the Android_Fastboot KIT V2.2.zip and run the Install Boot.img.bat after you get OK, Reboot your HOX and it will not be in bootloop

Hero! All sorted now, many thanks!
Quick question - do I have to run install boot.img.bat every time I flash, or is my phone now good to just go via install Zip from SD card each time?

flash everytime until we are s-off

Phone keeps rebooting randomly, not charging

Help me please.
I was previously on ARHD ICS and i decided to try CM10. I did a wipe and flashed paranoid cm10 in CWM, then flashed the boot.IMG and then cleared cache etc.
However, the phone starts up, boots in to cm10...but doesn't charge anymore. It also reboots randomly when i use it and it get s stuck in a loop for a while and then it boots into cm10 fine again.
I've tried loads of different rome and its doing the same thing. PLEASE help.
Hboot is 1.12

Desperate here anyone,?

Did you do a full wipe before flashing (/system, /data and /cache)?

Yep. Numerous times. I have no idea what it's doing. It will boot into the android system, I'll use it for 5 minutes or so without issue, then all of a sudden the 'shutting down' dialog appears with Android System in written at the top in the background..This is on all the roms i tried.

Very Easy To Fix This Problem
First You Must Unlock Your HOX ....
Flash Stock Recovery .... Then Do Factory Rest From BootLoader .
Now Extract "boot.img" From The Rom You Want To Flash ( use winrar/7-Zip )
Flash "boot.img" You Extracted From Fastboot By THis Command
Fastboot Flash Boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Now Flash ClockModRecovery And Open It
Mount Use Storage From Recovery then Copy Your rom.zip To HOX .
Do Full Wipe From Recovery
And Now Install The Rom From The Recovery ........ and restart your phone
if your HOX stuck on first boot just reboot the phone and wait ...
sorry for bad english ...

I've already flashed the boot.img. This isn't the first time i've flashed a rom

Ok ..... do you try factory rest ?
Your Must Do Factory Rest And The Stock Recovery Only Can Do That
Flash The Stock Recovery ( Download From Attachments "StockRecovery.Zip" )
Fastboot Flash Recovery rstock.img
Then Back To HBOOT Menu And Do "FACTORY REST"
Now Flash "Boot.Img" For Your Custom Room " Must Flash Boot.Img First Then Flash The rom As I Know "
And The Other You Know
The Trick Here Is Format Your SdCard Completely By "Factory Rest"

Help

Out of ideas now. Could this be a hardware fault?

[Q] Stuck in CWM-Loop

Hi Guys,
first off all, i wanted to let you know, that i come from GER, so excuse me for my english.
I tried to Update my CWM to Ver. 5.8.4.0 with the help of this Guide: http://www.guidingtech.com/12839/update-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-htc-one-x/
At the time, when i updated to the newest CWM-Version, i had the Stock-Rom (UNLOCKED) on my HOX.
But unfortunaley after that, it is now in the Recovery-Loop.
Here the things i already tried by myself:
- tried to restore some of my Back-Up's (with Nandroid), but even that didnt help.
- Factory Reset, WIPE (Data, Cache, Dalvik, Partition)
- flashing TRWP, but even after that, the Window with CWM 5.8.4.0 appears. (SOURCE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32667591&postcount=8)
- flashing Stock-Rom, guess what?
Sometimes, when i try to "Factory Reset", it shows CWM with a Versionumber of 5.8.1.8, and after "reboot system now" it comes again with 5.8.4.0?!
My whole SD-Card is empty, after the whole trys of resets and wipes, i can see it with mounting through CWM.
So im hoping, that some of u guys can help me.

What's your hboot version ? And you are sure you have the endeavoru type HTC one x ? And when restoring the nandroid, did u also flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ?
Flash the cwm custom recovery again.
Fastboot flash recovery name of recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Copy the desired rom within recovery to your phone and copy the boot.img from the rom to the fastboot folder on pc
Go in to bootloader .... Fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING EXCEPT SDCARD
Flash the rom.zip

Hey,
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.12.0000
RADIO: 2.1204.135.20
should i take again the newest version or just one older of CWM?
About the rom, should it be a custom or stock? Or doesnt matter?
Which custom rom would you take? Cause i dont have the nerves, to change the HBoot or Kernels...

First things first ... What is your hboot version ? And what does your bootloader say ....endeavoru ???
It's on top of the bootloader looking like this
UNLOCKED
ENDEAVORU S-ON etc etc
And ofcourse the newest one. You can not mount sd card in the older ones

Well I don't have to lie ...I'm a big fan of the viper x. Just try it , your phone is already empty so why not
You can flash any sense ICS rom from here but no JB rom. Only the aosp jb roms will boot.

It works now...unbeliavible.
I just flashed the boot_signed.img from the Stock-Rom, and now all works fine.
But its really strange, that u need to flash the boot.img, even when u are on Stock-Rom.
Well, i learned something new today. xD

Good !
Maybe something messed up flashing the recovery before
And everytime you flash a new rom you also have to flash the boot.img from that rom.

M8s stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.
clone

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.

Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!

Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?

Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
