Hey guys,
you might think I'm stupid and I won't blame you for thinking that but here's my problem:
I always try new custom ROMs after 2 days. I wanted to try a new one, put the ROM on the storage and all that.
Recovery mode, delete the ROM I had installed and installed the new one with fastboot flash and all that.
Did it a million times and it always worked. Now it won't boot up anymore.
Is there any way to put another custom ROM on the storage whilst being in Recovery?
Thanks for the feedback.
Mount sdcard while in recovery...copy rom then flash

MY One X won't boot up anymore so there's no way for me to normally copy the ROM onto my SD.
Isn't there a way to copy the ROM onto the SD in Recovery?
Hold the power button and the volume down button together .... Keep them pressed until you are in the bootloader, don't let go of the buttons before.
From there you can go to the recovery !

What recovery are you using? If you are using CWM then there is an option in under mounts to mount usb storage. From there you can copy files to and from your sdcard.
Here is a nice little write-up by Hasoon2000 regarding recovering:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
If you can get into recovery and you're using TWRP(Not sure if CWM has the option), you can try to ADB Sideload from his tool.

Dear guys from XDA,
I think I messed up real good this time. My rooted HTC Desire with a 2.2 ROM wasn't taking the update which I wanted to do. To fix this I tried to manually update my phone by downloading the update on my computer and run it via Recovery mode. I used the option install zip from sd card.
Unfortunately by doing so, I did not realize I deleted my ROM and replaced it with an update. Now I'm stuck with a phone in bootloop and red triangle when trying to access recovery mode to install my older ROM (which I usually did when I messed it up).
I know I can press the volume up button and reboot but then I get stuck into a bootloop. Eventually I have to pull the battery out and I'm back at the beginning. Can't do anything anymore.
I tried many tutorials but I could not fix this, also I'm not really into the 'techy' stuff so can you guys be real clear in your help.
sounds like you're just missing a ROM on your phone. Can't you just download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card and flash that to get back up and running? Or restore a NANDroid backup?
...assuming you mean you rooted your phone and then failed at flashing a ROM..but it sounds like you might mean you attempted to download and OTA update after being rooted?
Download a ROM, put it on your SD card, boot into Recovery (vol. down + power), wipe all data, cache, dalvik, then install the new ROM from the SD card.
Hi,
thx for your reply. I am indeed missing a ROM. The problem is that I can't access the option 'install zip from sdcard' in my recovery mode. I am now trying to rename a ROM as update.zip so I can install that. Any further suggestions?

Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.
yes it helps you
you can run a RUU now
just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe
it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.
Thx guys! that did it for me! Really easy job! You have no idea how relieved I am right now. Some tech-guys at my local computer shop told me to send it back to the manufacturer cuz the ROM needed to be synced with the motherboard. I already thought it was a weird story.
Again, thx XDA!
I have HTC__044 One X and recently updated OTA to JB 3.14.707.24. I went ahead and rooted the phone. I made the Nandroid backup but left it on the phone and have not copied it to the PC.
Then I tried to load a custom ROM and fastboot a boot image. However, I forgot to copy the ROM to the phone memory.
Now my phone cannot go beyond the White HTC screen. I tried to go in recovery and restore from my backup but it is not working either.
Guys can you please help me install either stock or custom ROM so my phone is working again. Thanks in advance.

You need CWM 5.8.4.0, and then mount sd card as USB, and then copy ROM onto phone.

Thanks, I got it working till it mounts sdcard to USB. Now need to flash ROM. Will update.
So I wanted to go about rooting my One X+ and installing a custom ROM: MIUI
I got to the part where i had TWRP Recovery installed and the new ROM on the internal storage.
It turns out the custom ROM was corrupt (couldn't open zip file) tried this a couple of times, went to try with another ROM for MIUI without success (couldn't open zip file) and now I can't boot into normal Android or install a custom ROM.
And I can't access internal storage from my pc via USB either and I can't use adb from command line. But I can access the bootloader and recovery.
What can I do?
Sorry you are struggling but this is the one X forum I'm sure the one x+ has its own section?

Hey guys, i've been searching, reading and googling almost anything that could help me with my situation right now.
I recently rooted my phone n soon after i decided to run a custom ROM on it. I followed the instructions,
till i reach a part in recovery mode (TWRP) i selected factory wipe which wiped everything from my sd card,
when i realized this i unplugged my phone and it kept rebooting over and over i tried to use adb sideload option
but i keep getting an error that its unable to mount.
i also tried to factory reset and the problem was still there.
i am all out of options and i really dont know what to do
right now, please help me.. :crying:
Tou did not flash the rom zip file and boot.img?
You can enter bootloader mode by holding down the volume down button.
Then you can re-flash a custom recovery via fastboot.
Then you can mount your USB and copy a custom ROM to storage.
And then flash the custom ROM, but don't forget to also flash the boot.img via fastboot (it's in the zip of the custom ROM)

Hello All
I do hope someone can guide me through the process of getting me out of this logo boot loop on my HTC One X.
I know now i was stupid and not to back up the phone.
I unlocked the boot loader ok with HTC DEV.
Then had a look at rooting. I then went to this site which said it the file package came from XDA.
knowyourmobile.com/htc/htc-one/17426/how-root-your-htc-one-x
(And I did not read the comments at the bottom of the page on that website)
Now I am stuck in a Logo Boot Loop. I can still connect the phone to a computer.
But I do need some help with a step by step guide to see if i can get my phone working again.
I have put up some photos.
Thank you in Advance:fingers-crossed:
Dont panic..
You will get your phone working again..
Download a custom rom from the forum. Boot your phone in recovery mount sd card and copy the rom on sd card..
Than flash the custom rom and flash its kernel using fastboot..
You will be good to go...

Thankyou Star for the reply.
I am grateful for your help with my problem,

CWM.. v5.8.4.0
TWRP..v2.6.3.0
I tried to unzip the new rom from sd card with TWRP but can not use the touch screen to use the app.
When I use the CWM to unzip the rom ..when it says install YES can not use touch screen.
Maybe there is a custom rom and kernel out there where i can install from sd card only using the power. volume up down buttons.
This is the rom i put on sd card for my htc one x ( HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0)
At this moment in time i have put CWM v5.8.4.0 on the phone.
This is the kernel (Kernel Flasher 21.0.0)
Do you think this is a lost cause to save my phone Star ? or shall we keep trying ?:fingers-crossed:

JUST to add one more thing that might help... The website I used to root the phone ..It says the ADB file is out of date.
So you mean to say that when you boot into recovery, your touch is working and as soon as you start to flash the rom, touch stops working ?
---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------
1) First copy the rom zip file on your pc, extract boot.img file from it.
2) copy the rom zip file to root of your internal sd card
3) boot phone into fastboot using power+vol down
4) flash boot.img and erase cache from fastboot
5) boot into recovery and see if touch is working ?

Flash Philz recovery 5.15.9 and everything will work tuch mount SD card everything what you need from recovery. After this flash boot.img from fastboot and then the rom from recovery
Thankyou Thant for some help.
But i had got back to stock rom with the help from Star before i read your post.
TOP TOP people
I followed your instructions in the last post you sent.. Then rebooted....IT'S ALIVE. I now have a rooted phone . But still has the stock rom.
Not too sure if I want to unzip the new rom Star. Just in case something goes wrong. But with some help I'm sure I can do.
The whole purpose of getting a custom rom was to stop the over heating of my battery\drain and the preparing sim card.
If you know of a good custom rom that could solve the battery issue\preparing sim card , maybe better wifi.
A big Thank you goes out to Star.:good::good:
Hey its perfectly ok...
Yes you can flash a custom rom easily. First you will have to decide which Rom you would like to flash. Read the topics of all roms and choose.. There is no such thing as best rom.. its what you want.. i can recommend viperX rom as i am using it for a long time now..
