[Q] stuck in "quietly brilliant" after root with insecure - HTC One X

today I got my new One X.
I tried to unlock the bootloader and flash a CWM Recovery which worked brilliantly thanks to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592922
then I recognised it's not rooted yet so I first tried too root with SuperSU from Google Play Store. Didn't work for me so I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671 for the mac with transferring the files over the terminal. After I tried to reboot I'm stuck right now on the "hTC quietly brilliant" screen.
I need help to recover my HOX pleeeeeease!!!!

So you don't have a backup do you?
It said in the thread that the insecure boot method only works on some super old software versions, and now as a result, you have an incorrect boot.img on your device.
Please confirm that you have the stock ROM.
Do following fastboot command:
"fastboot getvar version-main"
And post result here.

I have no backup. So how do I root with a MacBook on Android 4.1.1?
result: version-main: 3.14.401.31

You need to reflash the stock boot.img.
Since you have no backup you could try to grab it from a backup made by someone else.
Download the stock nandroid backup for your main version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Once you have downloaded it, you have to scavenge the boot.img.
Put it to the same folder on your mac where you have the fastboot files.
Then, with your phone connected in fastboot mode, flash it by typing:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Followed by "fastboot erase cache"
Once you can boot your phone I will give further instructions regarding rooting.

What about a RUU ? Its available but there is a problem with running ruu's from a mac, from what i read somewhere ?
For what its worth .. its here if you want it

How do I root now?

Flash this in recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip?retrieve_file=1

And make a nandroid backup this time and keep it in a safe place

whats the most intelligent way to push the zip on the sdcard folder with a MacBook?

Connect usb cable and in recovery: mounts and storage -> mount usb storage.
Why not do it while booted in os?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

in booted OS I don't see an external drive which is normally shown when device is connected via USB. Don't know whats the deal with a Mac OS and hTC phones

You can push it via adb: adb push sourcepath /sdcard/
Insert the path of the downloaded zip to sourcepath.
If you can't push it just go to this thread on your phone and download it directly.

OMG Please Help me!

Ok I think I've actually broken my One X.
I was trying to put a default ROM back onto the system, I had my phone plugged into my PC, and "ran Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X"
STUPIDLY I deleted a couple of files off the SD card in Windows Explorer, and now I cant get into recovery mode for ClockwordMod Recovery (as I'm assuming like an idiot I deleted it somehow)
Literally if I boot the phone it won't go past the HTC welcome screen.
I apologise profusely if this is already covered elsewhere - but I am an absolute noob and do not understand much of the jargon. I shouldn't have messed in the first place, I could cry
1. Fastboot and erase the cache, that will then allow you back into the recovery.
2. Fastboot the boot.img to your phone, as S-OFF won't allow the clockwork to flash it.
3. Don't panic. You can always recover the phone through Fastboot.
I should know, i was once in your position.
thanks for the reply,
I read about erasing the cache, but I have no idea how.
the guide just says type it into your pc
sorry again for being thick!
No problem.
Do you have fastboot open on your pc? if so.
Type : fastboot erase cache
Then download the Boot.img from ARHD, and follow the instructions.
Mike has included a .bat file that will automatically erase the cache and flash the boot image. I suggest going on to his forum and running the file.
I know I have downloaded it (I'm so lost) but the file in my downloads isn't something that opens a program?
Thanks a bunch!
It should have a .bat named install-boot, it shouldn't run a program, but open in CMD with options displayed on what to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
ok I don't have a file called install-boot, just adb, fastboot and a few .dll files. both exe files flash cmd but it doesnt remain open.
any chance you can point me in the direction of this software as it would appear i have the wrong thing!

It seems like we need to get back to basics a bit. Are you familiar with MS-DOS? Those programs are not meant to be run from windows by clicking on them. They are run with command lines typed in a DOS type window that is opened when you type "cmd" into your search box in windows.

sorry, confusing fastboot and flashboot I think,
I'm being told that I'm missing adbwinapi.dll - looking into it
I'm no genius but I'm not usually this bad, just so worried - got the phone 12 hours ago, naturally feeling sick!
ok, followed the steps with flashboot (ran the cache delete and install-boot)
still not let into recovery. it goes past the htc sense screen, all black with a mobile with green arrows in a circle (like a sync) which eventually changed to a triangle with '!' in it.
what am i missing?
You can't delete recovery through windows explorer for the record.

That's stock recovery it sounds like. Just relock your bootloader ( fastboot oem lock) then run an ruu. Then once booted you can start all over.

sorry noob alert again: how do i do this?
Sounds like it has the stock recovery on it. Download the Cwm recovery and you should have a file called recovery.img. Place this file in the adb platform-tools folder. Go to that location in cmd prompt then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or you can find on xda via search one x all in one kit which if you download and open then put your phone in fastboot mode via bootloader will allow you to flash Cwm recovery and should do it for you

int the adb platform-tools folder? again im very very sorry, but where is this?
When you downloaded adb did you download the exe or zip version. If exe download zip version then extract it place the contents on your c drive then when using cmd use the cd commands to get to the correct folder.

ok, I have managed to boot a recovery (i think) and can now get into CWM, only problem now, is that my PC no longer recognises my phone in order for me to put any ROM files onto the SD card so that it can load them?
Yes Cwm does not support sd mount atm. I think you will need to refer to the post by someone saying relock bootloader and flash ruu. You will need to find and download the ruu that matches your device. ie network your on and country ur in. As I'm guessing you have deleted the rom image of the sd or nand backup?

Stuck at boot...how can i push files to the SD now

Something went wrong while flashing the Rom and like a miracle the zip file isnt on the SD anymore. After trying to reflash and seeing there is no more zip file i tried to reboot but now im stuck on the HTC one screen. How can i get the rom.zip to my sd without booting to normal system?
Go into fastboot open cmd window. Navigate to your android SDK folder type fastboot reboot recovery now you can adb push files to your sd card
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
if i do "fastboot reboot recovery" i only get the commands and options but nothing happens
Check the cwm official thread for complete details.
Or, there is a thread with the name 'how to recover from bootloops', search it.

It will auto-mount the USB-Storage when you enter recovery

You can also boot recovery from fastboot rather then though the phone,
Fastboot boot recovery.IMG
Then
adb push Rom.zip

With the latest CWM recovery, there is no need to adb push rom.zip. Give it a try.
Once you fastboot boot recovery.img, it will auto-mount the usb storage, so just place your rom.zip there, no more adb push is needed.
To make it permanent, just simply fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

are you true soff? did you root following the wiki guide? do you still have access to the recovery?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
To root I used
cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
I dont know what true soff is
Holding power button and volume down i can boot into fast boot hboot does not let me select recovery.
clockwork mod and rom manager do not show on apps listed.
looks like reverted to stock tmobile rom but s off and htc vision show up so I may be still rooted?

1. True S-OFF is a permanent type of S-OFF. There are ways to do it temporarily. It looks like yours is perm S-OFF.
2. From the instructions that you followed, did you have to put a PC10IMG file onto the root of your SD card? If that file is still there, the bootloader will always look to that file and not allow anything else to be done.
3. Clockwork Mod will not show in an apps list. It replaces the recovery of your phone. It is not an app. As for ROM manager, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe if you can pull logs from your phone we can work on that.
4. Just because S-OFF shows up does not mean you are rooted. If you flashed the stock T-Mobile ROM then chances are you lost root privileges. You can do a quick check by looking in your app drawer for the "Superuser" app. If it is there, you are still rooted. If not, most likely you are not.
Oh! your smart…Yes PC10IMG is still on SD card.
As is superuser.apk and clockworkmod and titamium backup
"Superuser" app is not in app drawer
how would i pull the logs
take the image off sd card and you will be allowed back into recovery, then do a full wipe and flash rom of choice via recovery
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
ok took off image and it allowed me into recovery now i have a cool picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point
update: pulled battery turned it on using only power button goes to tmobile stock screen and works fine. do i need to re root and flash new rom?
need to flash a custom recovery again via fastboot. get the .img from somewhere in xda (or google it)
put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
connect your phone via usb and boot into fastboot
open cmd on computer change directories to where fastboot and recvoery image are
type fastboot devices (just to make sure its working)
then type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot reboot bootloader
now boot into recovery
now flash rom of choice via recovery

Hello, thanks for all the help.
Am I using ADB AND FASTBOOT or SDK to put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
sorry a bit confused on what you are asking
after downloading the sdk package you will find a folder probably under platform tools with adb and fastboot .exe in it
this is the folder you want the recovery image
this is also the folder you want to open cmd
right click in the folder and choose open comand here
then you should be ready to use fastboot
(another option is to change enviromenta variables so you dont need to worry about what folder fastboot is in in the future but not necessary right now)

Good Morning, demkantor
Hows Minnesota today? It’s a beautiful day in Chicago.

Any suggestions?
did you get the recovery in an .img or a .zip? if its zipped extracted it
alsom make sure it is named recovery.img
windows adds the file extention so you may just need to name it recovery
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It came as a disk image file not zipped, until I changed the file to just recovery I got an error cannot load.
Once changed it loaded started recovery and failed.
Ive been reading about eng hboot as mine shows "s-off" not "eng s-off" but I don’t know how it applies to this.
did you follow the htc official dev bootloader unlock?
or did you root following the wiki?
if you did the htc way you are not true soff and you will need to do this first. look for nipqers directions

well you can try downloading superuser and rommanager from the market and see if you can install recovery that way. i think there is a busybox installer app in the market too but im not sure
you can also try with adb

Ok,
I used Root checker from the market and it said i do not have proper root access

[Q] Help! No OS (deleted system), can't connect SD to PC

Hello,
I deleted the system and cache for installing another ROM.
But the ROM doesn't work (can't install it..), so my OS is deleted.
I can't connect the SD to my pc, because the memory is build-in.
How can I connet my SD to my pc, to put another .zip on it?
I don't know if it is allowed, but the one who can help me get 15 euro's (about 20 dollars) by Paypal.
It's urgent.
Greetings.
Assuming you are a one x user, and have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery, upgrade your recovery to cwm 5.8.4.0 with using the following command from your pc where fastboot files and cwm recovery.img files are
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Then boot into bootloader, go to hboot, select recovery. Once in there, go to mounts and storage. There you can mount your sdcard.
Clicking thanks button is more than enough.
