Hi Everyone,
I did a boo boo. I flashed my One X without a supported CID with the Android Revolution 14.2 ROM. Is there a way to correct this and revert back to my previous ICS? Help please.
There's a Q&A section especially for Questions and Answers, please use that in future.
That being said you wouldn't have been able to update the hboot so just reflash an ICS rom

I'm having problems moving an ICS ROM to the phone to flash it. Whenever I connect the phone to my notebook, the MTP USB device driver is unable to install. because of that Windows could not recognize the phone. I also tried to mount the sdcard in CWM. It is giving me a 'unable to open ums lunfile..." error message.
Is there any other way to flash the phone? I tried "fastboot flash zip rom.zip". It showed OKAY for the copy, however, a second line remark "writing 'zip' ... FAILED (remote not allowed)" appeared. The process then was aborted.
I also tried formatting the sdcard and then tried to mount the sdcard. Same 'unable to open ums lunfile...' error constantly appears. Just afraid that my phone is now a brick. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Install a version of CWM that isn't ancient, I.e., 5.8.4.0.
I suspect that I hard brick my phone now.
Following some advice to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip", not the phone is unable to even get into recovery mode. when I select recovery, it just comes back to the bootloader screen. I tried to flash CWM again and the message I got was "error: cannot load cwd....img"
Funny thing though, when i select HBOOT, some messages appears and disappears saying "Failed to open sdcard, dalvik, cache, etc. etc." I believe that is why windows is unable to recognize the USB drive and is unable to install the drivers.
Have I hard brick my phone?

No, everything is recoverable, if your phone won't turn on at all, then you're bricked for real.
Just flash the one from here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
then put in the same folder as fastboot and use command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Thanks everyone for the advice. Really appreciate it. I finally managed to use TeamWin Projects and it allowed me to mount the USB. Managed to then transfer an ICS ROM for flashing.
Hi there !
I have a little problem with the JellyBean update on my rooted One X. I didn't know that I must go back to a stock recovery before doing the update so i discovered it when it refuse to do the update.
I have done some research and i find how to flash a stock recovery (i did it with fastboot) but now i'm stuck. I reboot with holding power+volume down to get acces to the recovery, then i choose it and the update icon appear but then i have an warning panel with a phone on his side (i hope you know what i'm talking about..). Now i have a boot loop and i don't know how to fix that..
I hope someone will be able to answer me !
And sorry for my english, tell me if something is not clear.
P.S: If possible, i would prefer not having to lose my data
Did you flash the stock recovery or were you stuck before that??
Yes i flash it and i get stuck after. Now when i boot i press power+volume down and when i am in the menu i choose "Recovery", a black screen with the icon update, and then the same black screen but with a phone and a warning panel on his side.

Are you sure you got the right stock recovery, did u modify something in your rom, did u change the stock kernel to custom kernel ?
did u restore to fully stock (not just the recovery)
stock rom
stock kernel
stock recovery
I have a stock rom and a stock recovery (i guess, i have downloaded a file named endeavoru_recovery_signed.img) but i don't know for the kernel, how can i check it? The only thing i did was unlock the bootloader and root the phone, does it change the kernel?
it's much easier if you just relock the bootloader and run the RUU.
I would prefer to keep my data and installed data if it's possible.

No that does not change the kernel.
Put the phone in Fastboot USB mode and Do
Fastboot getvar version-main
You might have a old recovery installed.
Ok i have the version 2.17.401.2, is it good or not?
Edit: It's the ICS version so it isn't the right recovery version, right? I have to search a 4.0.4 version? The higher version of recovery i have found is version 1.29.401.11
This is the 2.17 stock recovery
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
If your main version says 2.17.***.** you need this recovery !
Thank you for the link, i flashed this recovery but i still have the same problem :-/
Edit: Now i can acces to the recovery menu when i press power+volume up on the screen with the warning panel. I have some error message:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
Edit 2: I forgot to say that I wipe and format some things (don't remember which one, i try to find again the tutorial that i found) but nothing that delete data.
Edit 3: Ok i find it, that's what i did:
Wipe the cache partition
Go to Advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats
Go to Mounts and Storage and format system, then data, then cache.

The errors ...that's fine because the stock recovery can't mount the sdcard that's normal.
The wiping caused it that it not boots. You did practically a full wipe ! Do you have the RUU or a nandroid backup from the rom.
Give your cid here, we have the main version already ... going back with a ruu is the easiest now....

OMG...
Dude, you better go RUU way, really.
I assume you have a Windows computer and HTC drivers are installed on it properly.
Looks like you've lost your data and cache but you may still have the data in your sdcard, so first, try to backup them...
Launch the CWM recovery... Connect your USB cable to the phone and then in the CWM custom recovery window, go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB storage".
This shall allow your computer to access the storage of your phone.
You shall see a drive on your computer named "HTC STORAGE".
That is your phone storage so copy everything you think that you need.
Then...
Download the correct RUU for your phone >> http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
Note: One X is called "Endeavoru", if international model. Otherwise "Endeavor".
When downloaded, power off the phone.
Press Vol down and Power buttons together till you reach the HBOOT screen.
Select fastboot.
Plug your USB cable and "fastboot" will change to "fastboot usb".
From your computer, which is on the other end of the USB cable, launch command line, from the folder which you keep your adb, fastboot files.
type "fastboot devices" and hit enter.
You shall see some serial number if you have correctly installed the drivers of the phone and if it is correctly plugged.
Now, you need to re-lock you bootloader.
This is required for RUU to perform; if your bootloader is not in "locked" or "relocked" state, RUU won't perform.
Next, type "fastboot oem lock" and hit enter.
Now, bootloader is "relocked".
Now, run the RUU executable you've downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen.
This will take you back to stock status, then, without messing with it, do the 4.1.1 update from system settings and right after your first boot of 4.1.1, go to CWM recovery again and get a BACKUP.
Good luck.

After using for some days with sling rom 2.1 my phone was running li'l bit slow. So i went to CWM recovery, formatted the cache partition. After that when i reboot to system, it shows an error like this:
" SECURE BOOTING ERROR
==========================
Cause: Device unlock, So boot success "
and goes to recovery every time instead of booting into phone. When i didn't understand what i did wrong, I decided to flash a rom from the memory card and it shows me another error "Can't mount sdcard". After that i wanted to flash with kdz but surprisingly i couldn't get it to the download mode either. It just goes into recovery. What should i do now?

How did you go to download mode? Try this:
- Turn off device (in recovery: advanced > power off).
- Wait 20-30s. Unplug cable.
- Hold volume up and down + plug quickly.
Try several times.

Hi there, I recently bought an used unlocked LG G PRO E988 (made in korea) version. I rooted it. I tried to flash a custom rom but got stuck in boot loop with a security warning saying "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify" But while booting if I kept the volume up and power botton pressed it would give me "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" , However i could not get into the download mode no matter which ever key combination i tried. Finally pressing the volume up ,home key and power botton at the same time while putting back the battery on i ran into recovery mode and flashed a new rom "sphinx" and it was working fine, though I kept getting the "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" while booting up. I installed the Philz touch recovery while installing sphinx rom but day before yesterday I wanted to install the default cwm recovery and flash sphinx again with less apps,so from the recovery mode i wiped dev cache,wiped cache partion (and i think i wiped data/factory reset as well ) installed the sphinx rom again and rebooted from sphinx installation screen where i need to check a sqaure box to reboot. but my phone got stuck in boot loop again and with the same security warning "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify" but this time pressing the volume up and power button while connecting usb or putting back the battery didn't change the security warning to "SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success" neither could i get into my recovery mode. And i have always failed to log into download mode. I read almost all the threads about how to get into g pro download mode but never succeed. The only screen i was getting besides "hard reset" and "boot logo with security warning" was a screen with this message "Recovery mode,Using this mode, service center can back up and recover your data. Press and hold the POWER key more than 8 seconds to reboot and continue using phone." which would eventually take me to the boot loop again if i kept pressing the power button. sigh ! And at this point my phone was not being detected by my pc. I tried "[GUIDE] Optimus G Pro Full Hard Brick fix" by ricanares, but i couldnt get to download mode so the process failed for me After searching for hours and reading tutorials i found out about pdanet drivers and mtk droid tools. which finally detected my phone in pc only when the creen " Recovery mode,Using this mode, service center can back up and recover your data. Press and hold the POWER key more than 8 seconds to reboot and continue using phone." appears. Using mtk droid tools i tried to use a boot image (from an extracted .tot file)and recovery(from same .tot file) but i was getting an error saying no split boot image found.Tried using extracting a .tot file and sideloading the recovery.bin and boot.bin .Tried pushin and sideloading cusom recovery.apk files and all efforts in vein. For any files i send using sideload my phone shows an error "E:footer is wrong ; E: signature verification failed" Using mtk droid tools i could enter into a recovery mode but i dont think it is the cwm recovery mode. it has fewer options. I am so lost at this point ! I need some expert help ...
Things working
1. Boots into stock recovery using mtk tools.
2. Pc recognizes device as LG Android net phone
3.Mtk tools recognizes the device as LG E988
4.Can use adb sideload options to send files to phone in recovery mode (but phone outputs error as 1st attached image )
5.In recovery mode I can see and go into /cache folder using update from cache option.but theres nothing there
THINGS NOT WORKING
1.Doesnt Boot into recovery mode using physical buttons
2.Doesnt Boot into download mode
3.Cant get into fastboot mode with adb commands
4.Doesnt mount sd card .(tried formatting sd card with sdformatter)
5.Don't have a proper backup of my phone.
6.Can't extract downloaded .kdz files to get the boot.img and recovery.img files (tried using lg p970 rom converter, optimus L9 image extractor and lg extract)
HELP
1) Does anyone have extracted .kdz for e988 that has split boot image ?
2)How can i fix E:failed to mount /sdcard error.
3)How do i get to download mode in e988 ? is it possible that i deleted the mode ?

"However i could not get into the download mode no matter which ever key combination i tried."
Have you tried:
1) remove battery
2) hold down both volume buttons and power button
3) insert power cord while keeping buttons held down
4) download mode is yours to cherish??
And for once you get into download mode: your KDZ! (or more here)
From there to go here and do more things. Things cannot be left undone. They hate that.
" SECURE booting ERROR!! Device is unlocked so booting success"
This is normal once you install a custom recovery. As long as your phone works, ignore.

Thanks for your response. Yes i tried that but didn't work. I tried with and without battery both. actually tried numerous times.Only the soft keys keep flashing and nothing else happen. But i will give it a shot again. Plus the secure booting error has changed to "SECURE booting ERROR!! Cause: boot certification verify"-- is it just because I am back to stock recovery ? If only i could get into download mode life would have been a lot easier !! (finger crossed)

Still boned? The LG Support Tool worked for me once, when I was in a similar situation way back last month when I first began smartphoning.
I was in this *exact* same situation after trying to flash my first ROMs and recovery stuff, but I don't remember how I got out of it. :| ACk!
Yupp still stuck . Will try again later tonigh. Didn't get a chance to sit with it the whole day. Hoping for the best !!

Oh! One thing to remember: always plug your USB cable directly into your computers motherboard USB ports, and avoid plugging into USB hub ports (like via a monitor or keyboard). If a desktop: that also means don't use the ports on your computer system. always use the rear ports that plug directly into your motherboard.
(A couple of times I was able to flash a stock TOT/KDZ via the USB hub on my monitor, but that is not a feat that is repeatable for me.)
This makes *all* the difference for me.

The Why: You can't flash that via the stock recovery. You need to use FreeGee to flash CWM or TWRP.
You can get your system into stock recovery: this is good! Does ADB recognize? If not check Windows drivers. If ADB recognizes it, and you can 'adb shell' into it, maybe I could walk you into rooting and installing a custom recovery via the shell?
1) If not already, have ADB at hand. It is your best friend.

Dude, you are so in the wrong program:
LG Flash Tool 1.8 -- this is what handles your TOTs.
Err, wait, you're on E988? Nevermind, no TOTs for you. I've only flashed KDZ a few times, and I don't recall off hand. :| I think it was this one that worked for me: here.

Yes I can actually get into shell using adb. and my device is recognized as an adb device in device manager. If u can walk me into rooting through adb that would be awesome. specially if i could install a cusom recovery. I spent a bit of time yesterday looking into the files in my phone through adb. tried to change the default.prop file , and push in a custom recovery, but no luck. and i could be wrong but I think for some reason my internal storage (/sdcard) is not being mounted.and same for my external sd card.
But i highly appreciate your response dear Thanks alot for looking into it.
