I need very SERIOUS help. It's my first time to try to flash my HTC One X. I downloaded all necessary files and proceed to follow below instructions on how to install CM10 on my phone.
The problem is (I know this is very stupid) I forgot to copy the CM10 zip file to my phone's internal storage. I thought I did it already but I only realized that I didn't when I was on Step 14 already. Now I cannot access my phone's internal storage and my phone won't boot anymore. Please help.
1.Copy the CM10 ZIP file to your phone’s internal SD card.
2.On the PC, extract the Fasboot.zip. You will get a folder named Fastboot.
3.Extract the boot.img file from the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file and place it into the Fastboot folder.
4.Turn your phone off.
5.Boot to Fastboot Mode. Hold down the Volume Down and the Power buttons until the screen turns on to enter Bootloader Mode.
6.In Bootloader Mode, highlight Fastboot Mode using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button.
7.Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
8.Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate it to the Fastboot folder.
9.In the command prompt, type fastboot devices to check if your device has successfully connected to your PC. Your phone’s serial number should appear on the screen.
10.Flash the boot.img by typing the following in the command prompt:◦fastboot flash boot boot.img
11.Go back to your phone and select Bootloader to go back to the main Bootloader menu.
12.In Bootloader Mode, highlight Recovery using the Volume keys and select it by using the Power button to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
13.Select Wipe data/factory reset > Yes.
14.Select Install ZIP from SD card > Choose ZIP from SD card > select the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-028.zip file > Yes.
15.Select Go back > Reboot system now.

Thanks for your advise but I another problem popped out. I cannot do fastboot because my boot loader says that my battery level is too low to flash. I connected my phone to external power but it seems it is not charging. I left it for a couple of hours and still I have the same problem.

Thanks TToivanen! :good: You're a genius! Now, I was able to flash my phone, update CWM to latest version, copy CyanogenMod 10 to my phone's internal storage and finally install it.
Thanks a lot to everyone!
I have a problem with WiFi though, but I think it's another topic. Won't hurt if you can help also. LOL
Wifi / Data / GPs issues etc are usually to do with the ROM/Kernel.
So as stated, this is a totally different issue and should be resolved in the relevant thread !!
Glad everything is sorted though !!

Did you flash the boot.img?
You can get another ROM on the SD card using CWM 5.8.4.0 or newer, booting into recovery, mount SD as USB storage.

Depends on the error.
Go to your computer and download this: http://netload.in/dateigLuXPyJAwe/fastboot.rar.htm Open the .rar file and copy the fastboot folder to your computers C: drive. Open the .zip file of your rom on your computer and find the boot.img file to the fastboot folder that you just copied to the C: drive. Connect your phone with the computer. Boot your phone into Bootloder. You do that by holding down together both the power button and the volume down button for about 10 seconds. If it doesn't work on the first try, do it again. When you do that, go to fastboot. You do that by navigating through the menu with volume up/down keys and pressing power to select something. Run the Install Boot.img.bat script in your fastboot folder. When it's finished (should take about 3 seconds), select HBOOT from the FASTBOOT menu on your phone. There you navigate to the RECOVERY option and select it. From there you go to -install zip from sdcard > -choose zip from sdcard > navigate to wherever you put the ROM and install it. Go back and select -reboot system now. That should work.
Hi Everyone,
I was trying to install the vemon viper x 3.3.6 (Im kind of new to flashing rom onto phones) onto my htc one x and had to update my hboot from 0.98 to 1.31 which i did with JBW tool and worked perfect and i unlocked my bootloader again but wen i was finished unlocking my bootloader i accendently factory reset my phone so it removed the vemon viper x 3.3.6 zip folder off my phone and cant run my old rom which is the vemon viper x 2.7 as it isnt a jellybean rom. So when i start my phone it loads the rom but doesn't boot. All i can get into is my hboot. My htc one x is s-on as well. Please any help would be great.

I flashed clockworkmod recovery onto my phone but i cant get into my phone to use the usb storage option to copy the rom onto my phone.
enter the bootloader by pressing volume - and the power button together as long as you are in the bootloader, do not let go before that.....then navigate to HBOOT - RECOVERY. it boots to recovery and activate the mount as mass storage device in the mounts and storage section (if you have CWM) if you get an error by doing that i suggest you flash the latest CWM recovery 5.8.4.0 first. older ones dont have this option !

That notification is normal, we all have that due to the usb cable being connected !
Did you install the rom with the cable connected ? That's a no go......always install a rom without the usb connected ! First put the phone into the bootloader, hold power and volume - until you are in. Then the fastboot command
Fastboot erase cache
From this point you disconnect the cable. enter the recovery and re-install the viper rom again.
You did flash the boot.img from the rom right ?

You need to flash the boot.img file just like a recovery . Boot.img file in the fastboot folder
In the command window
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then unhook the cable
Enter recovery and install the rom. And for the kernel question you answer with option 1.viper x delivered !

I have one last big problem, my phone is on a boot loop after trying to install my rom from recovery and the battery is too low so it wont allow me to flash anything onto my phone. What can i do???
can you still enter the recovery ? if so....put the phone in the recovery and put it on the wallcharger, then you select 1 time REBOOT RECOVERY and let it sit there. it will charge up !

Yes put the phone in the bootloader and put this script in the fastboot folder. Open a command window there and type
Batt script.bat
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuesly reboot the bootloader and charge the phone little by little ! Until you got some power and can acces the custom recovery to charge it more !
If it does not work, remove the space in batt script.bat so it says battscript.bat .....

I am going to sound very stupid. Could you give me the exact line of command to use if the fastboot folder is saved in the local storage on the computer (c: drive), i dont want to do more damage then i have.:silly:
Example when the fastboot files are in
C:\fastboot\the fastboot files
Then you copy that battscript into that folder
Then you navigate to that folder and hold down shift and right click the mouse inside that folder, then choose "open command prompt here"
In that command prompt you type
Battscript.bat (hit enter)
And the phone should start rebooting.
If the fastboot folder is somewhere else you repeat my steps only change folder that i used.....

The file worked perfectly just opened it in the fastboot files and left it run all night. Then fastboot erase cache and the recovery is back up and running just have to flash the boot.img and phone up and running. Thanks for your help.
No problem. Glad its sorted !
A buddy of mine rooted my phone after I had so much difficulty trying to do it myself. I went to update my ROM this afternoon and was brought to the white HTC loading screen with no more activity. Tried getting into my phone to put a new ROM on the SD card and nothing comes up on the SD card folder. I am able to put a ROM in the empty SD card folder and install it, but than it just gets stuck on the same screen as before. I'm really just in the dark here and that friend isn't any longer available to help me out. Thank you all in advance, hopefully this is fixable. I am quite concerned. I should add that I would like to ultimately just get back to stock and be done with things I don't understand so as to avoid this happening again.
Did you flash the boot.img from the rom.zip? These are the correct steps to flash a ROM:
1. Flash the boot.img from ROM.zip via fastboot. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot erase cache"
2. Boot into recovery and use THIS by flashing it.
3. Now flash the ROM.zip and then gapps.zip via recovery.
4. Reboot.

I have tried flashing the boot.img but when I go to put the file onto my phone I don't have any folders such as the boot.img folder to put it in. As for flashing the link above, I am taking a stab in the dark here but I assume that I download that link, extract it and place it on my SD card somewhere. I'm not sure as to how I flash it. Sorry... I really have tried learning the ropes of this, but I can't seem to grasp it.
I somehow now have access to TWRP on my device... I am so confused.

1. First you need to download a custom ROM like this one : http://tunsd.de/downloads/ICJ/IceColdJelly421/aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , Gapps : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y31poo1kiaif4y/Super wipe script.zip
2. Open the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip with winrar/winzip and extract the boot.img and place it in the "fastboot" folder in your PC. (since you have already unlocked/rooted it, I guess you know which is the fastboot folder)
3. Connect your Phone to your PC and make a new folder named "ROM" and put the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script.zipin it.
4. Turn of your phone. Now hold the power button and volume down button together until the bootloader screen pops up. (White screen with 3 android figures at the bottom)
5. Now select "fastboot" using the volume up/down keys and press power button once you highlight it to get into fastboot. Now connect your phone again to your PC.
6. You will hear a sound on your pc and on the screen it will say "fastboot USB".
7. Now open fastboot folder on your PC and press shift key and simultaneously rightclick and click on "open command prompt here".
8. type the following lines:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
9. Now disconnect your phone and head back to "HBOOT" and then select "Recovery".
10. Now go to "install zip from sd" and select "ROM" folder which you had created earlier on the phone.
11. Now select "super wipe script" and install it. After everything is done you will come back to choose zip from sd.
12. Now again navigate to ROM folder and select "aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip" and install it. and then install "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip".
13. Now go back and select "reboot system now".
14. If you have done all the above steps correctly, you will boot into IceColdJelly Rom!

Irrespective whether you have CWM or TWRP... Steps will be similar for flashing the ROM... Just the names of the buttons/options will be different!
If you want to use CWM, then download this : http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=2823
Put the recovery.img in your fastboot folder. Boot your phone in fastboot mode and fire the following lines in CMD.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now you can follow the steps which I have given blindly!
My phone was unlocked and rooted from a different PC so I have no fastboot folders or any knowledge on what a fastboot folder is.

Extract it somewhere on your pc.
Now look at my previous post and follow the steps...
Everything went swell until step 10. Every time I tried to install anything it came up as failed. I repeated the steps several times with the same results. I really appreciate your efforts in trying to help me.

What error message do you get while you flash?
what is your HBoot version?
Go to bootloader(Power button+Volume Down)... once you get to that white screen, you should be able to see your hboot version... something like hboot 1.39...
I have googled and searched thread after thread and can't seem to find a solution.
I have 2.3 GB
I have S-off and custom recovery from revolutionary software.
I tried installing the SMS ROM sense 3.5.
Got stuck in bootloop
pulled battery tried a few times.
then i stupidly made the decision to format the sd card and now i have lost everything including the backup i made.
and my second stupid mistake was following some instructions on formatting everything and now I have no custom recovery. I literally only have fastboot and Hboot on my phone now.
PLEASE someone help ASAP :/
1. Flash 4ext recovery as PB99IMG through hboot. Read this for the download and instructions.
2. After you have successfully flashed the 4ext recovery, partition your sd card using this guide. Start at step [4]
3. Copy the the rom of your choice back onto the sd card. Boot into recovery, go to the Wipe section and choose "Format all partitions (except sd card)
4. Flash the rom

If you have a micro sd card adapter you could use that and a PC to copy it over.
If you dont have one, use fastboot to flash the recovery.img instead of using the PB99IMG method. Heres how:
1. Setup fastboot/adb on your PC using this guide. Install these drivers as well.
2. Download the 4ext recovery image from here, and put it into your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
3. Boot the phone into the bootloader and from there use the volume keys and power to go into fastboot mode. Then plug it into your PC
4. Open command prompt and use the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

At which step? Try a different usb port, preferably the ones on the back if you are on a desktop since they are directly connected to the motherboard.
Also remember the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" . You need recovery twice. The first one is to tell fastboot which partition to flash it to.

2. ive deleted everything on my sdcard so its empty the bot img is gone( i thought if i format the sdcard it would work)

Mount the sdcard via the recovery and copy the rom. Boot img needs to be flashed via fastboot and not via recovery !

Turn off your device.
1. Hold down volume button with power button for few seconds till it will open bootloader
2. Then choose "fastboot" and not recovery!! But fastboot
3. Make sure so you have connected your htc one x with the USB cable to PC
4. Than go to your fastboot folder on PC (make sure if you have all needed HTC drivers) and extract from rom file "boot.img" and copy it here!
5. When you are in this folder hold shift and right click in folder and choose "Open Command Promt in this folder" or something like this
6. Then just type to command prompt this:
fastboot erase cache
then wait when it says okay.
then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
wait till it says okay.
Power off device again and again hold down volume button with power button then choose RECOVERY
When you get into your recovery wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash rom
Here you go
That is way how I am flashing.
I mean what recovery are you using ! Type and version number and please be specific !
