Hi Guys,
I tried putting in a new ROM for my HTC ONE X International (HBOOT 1.33) and this problem came up.
1. Phone is stuck in bootloop. Whenever I try to turn it off, it automatically reboots
2. Battery drain because of bootloop, doesn't charge.
3. I can enter HBOOT but encounters the following issue
- Trying to enter recovery leads to rebooting and continuing the bootloop
- Trying to factory reset leads to rebooting and continuing the bootloop
4. Computer cannot detect the device since it never goes past the HTC load screen
I really appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thank you
Did you flash the boot.img? You need to do it through fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Do a "fastboot erase cache" afterwards.
Also, which ROM were you flashing?
Sent from my One X
What recovery are you using? Try to flash the latest CWM from here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
it lets you charge when in recovery.
In order to flash it I had to have fastboot open and ready in the command window with the command to flash already typed in, then it was just a matter of timing->as soon as you go from Hboot to fastboot press enter.
Once you have access to the recovery you should be able to confirm your Hboot version and workout what needs to be done from there (ie flash the appropriate boot.img, or recovery from nandroid backup, run an RUU, or who knows what).

I was flashing OrDroidX 1.3.2. How can I flashboot if my device isn't recognized by my computer when I plug it in? (Sorry it's my first time) Also, my battery doesn't seem to be charging when it's off.
You need to be in fastboot mode. It should say fastboot in your bootloader menu, select it using hardware buttons. On the scree you should see
FASTBOOT USB
Then fastboot should work OK.
Check connection by doing
Code:
fastboot devices
If your battery voltage is really low, check out this script. It will start rebooting the phone and eventually battery will charge.

Reboot into recovery and try clearing cache. Or do a full reset. If not load another ROM on. Did you perform a nandroid back up first?

You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom zip file, separately in fastboot.
Coz it wants to emphasize n make sure that u agree that its Quietly Brilliant ..
Just say out loud " ya I agree n its brilliant indeed..All hail HTC One X" ..n then its gonna move on for sure..
On a serious note..Did u flash the kernel correctly..I mean did u clear the cache in cmd?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
To flash the boot.img, the command is "fastboot flash boot xxx.img"
With xxx.img the name of the boot file you want to flash.
You need to go in fastboot on the phone press and hold power + volume down.
On your PC, use fastboot on a cmd windows.
Hope this can help.
Please follow instructions on howto install custom roms they are included in first post of mostly every custom rom.
From what you say you probably didnt flash boot.img at all. So you are in a bootloop. Flash boot.img of the custom rom and restart your phone and it will boot correctly
Hi,
thanks for your help, i did not a perform a nandroid back up first.
I cannot enter in recovery mode, so i went to fastboot and installed Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. But i cannot enter again on recovery mode.
I started in fastboot and did the command fastboot flash recovery (the team win projects recovery image):
when pressed enter first time - failed battery low, second time - failed remote 00000008, third time is sending the recovery, does it take some time?

It takes the most a couple of seconds. Please read some how-to's before flashing !
Charge your batt to full !!!
1 : is to unlock bootloader
2 : to flash a custom recovery
3 : backup existing (original) rom
4 : wipe everything
5 : flash the boot.IMG with fastboot commands
6 : flash rom in recovery
And before flashing the boot.IMG erase cache and also after flashing the boot.IMG with fastboot command.
Also erase cache after flashing the custom recovery !
Please correct me if i'm wrong

You should have flashed the boot.img before flashing the ROM.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably in a boot loop because the boot.img you have is not compatible with the custom ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.
Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks
I tried to root and install CM10 on my HTC One X (AT&T) (v2.20). However, I have run into trouble. Here is what happened:
Successfully rooted phone using Hasooon2000's All-in-one Kit
Flashed Recovery Successfully (I think) using the All-in-one Kit
I'm now able to boot into "TWRP" but I'm not really sure what to do next.
It skips your HBOOT too?

Yes, unfortunately.
Is the phone an evita or endevour? (quad core or dual core). What recovery did you flash? CWM or TWRP?
Try connecting the phone through usb and go to your adb folder and type in cmd: fastboot devices / fastboot list devices see if it is recognized.
Also try holding the power button and volume down button for 1 minute, it might reboot a few times and go back to the screen but I think it should jump back to your Hboot.

Thanks! Okay, I was able to get to TWRP but I'm not sure what to do next.
Well if you are in the recovery now make sure the rom you have downloaded is on your phone.
First open the rom.zip in your computer and take out the file called boot.img. Put this file in your fastboot folder.
Now boot your phone back into fastboot mode
then run this in cmd. "fastboot flast boot boot.img" from the folder your fastboot is located etc. if you are using the boot.img flasher from the rom make sure to put the boot.img there
It will send the boot.img to your phone and say if it is succesful.
Next boot back into your recovery and install the rom zip from inside the recovery.
wrong section, don't flash anything here..
Wrong Forum1!
Bro u have a dual core(At&t) version.The hardware is totally different ..Please post in in the thread for ur phone.
Dont flash anything from here!
Thanks! This worked. I'm now running Jelly Bean -- way better than all that AT&T garbage!

I have an international One x, I don't know what I did wrong but my phone never gets past the ROM's logo screen. I've tried flashing about 6 different ROMs that all worked before but the boot.img file never flashes. When I type the command in fastboot, it says it flashed successfully on the pc but the phone just shuts down. When I open it again, it doesn't boot. I also tried restoring to a stock nandroid backup (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140 ) and. I tried restoring to a backup I'd made a month ago but neither worked.
I tried looking for a RUU to run but none worked or are compatible because I can't find one higher than 3.16 and I have S-ON so can't flash anything below that. I looked on the internet in general and here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
Info about the phone:
It's S-ON with an unlocked bootloader
hboot 1.39.0000
CID HTC__J15
Software version 3.16.415.4
radio-5.1204.162.29
Posting here is a last resort, I've tried everything I can think of over the past 3 weeks and I don't know what to do

Wow what a poem first thing as you may know, flashing the boot.img is a really important step to do if you want your rom to work... I see that you can't do it but i have just a question, does your phone shuts down immediately after you type the command or at the end of the flashing process?

Shuts down the second I press enter.
The only other thing I can think of is trying to flash the ROM whose boot.img last successfully flashed but I don't know which one that is. Is there a way to find out?

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

I'm facing a tiny problem with running the ARUWizard. It says my phone's battery is below 30% and won't flash every time although I fully charged it till the light turned green.
Hmmm... this seems to be a tricky thing.
Try this:
1. Copy the rom.zip into the same Folder where your fastboot.exe is located
2. Enter bootloader and go to fastboot.
3. Flash the file with this command:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Enter the original recovery
5. When you see the red triangle than do a short press on the power button and vol up and you will see the menue as same as you know it from the CWM Recovery
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe data/factory
8. unlock the bootloader
9. Flash the rom.img from AHD Image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. Flash CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. enter Recovery and Mount USB
12. Copy the AHD ROM to your device & flash it
13. Boot the ROM, wait up to 10 minutes bevore you use it & ignore the setup
14. Within the Phone enter Settings and do a FACTORY RESET

I'm also having this problem. I'm running android 4.3. I've tried TWRP and Clockwork Mod. I achieved S-Off and an unlocked bootloader with firewater.

Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.
Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.

i havent tried that will give it a shot .I deleted sdk and trying to reinstall it but for some reason its not loading the page to dl it.So if anyone has a file for that would be cool,where is the fastboot erase cache at im not seeing it any were.back in the day when i had the thunderbolt I never had this much problems
fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.

Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.

are their suppous to be spaces between fastboot flash recovery
That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

Yes, flash su and then do a backup. If you use a kk rom you should flash kk 3.11.605.1 firmware.

Hello Guys,
at first i have to excuse me for my english!
First i rooted my phone and it works fine. After that i wanted to try out a Custom Rom but the installation failed. I tried to restore my Backup from yesterday but it said it was broken. I didn't know what to do this command: fastboot recovery (or something like that) and after that i just came into my recovery. I was happy that i could put a new rom on my HTC One X but my PC didn't recognize it. I tried to go in the fastboot option into the bootloader with fastboot reboot bootloader i guess. Now i can't get out of this menu and when i try to flash the Recovery and the Rom it says that i don't have enough battery and when i try to charge it it sometimes stop charging and turn off. I can't turn it one for a short while!
I need help! Thanks!

use charge script to charge your phone in fastboot mode
