Fastboot Not Working and CWM Not Installing - HTC One X

Hello, I'm having some problems with my HTC One X.
When trying to send commands to the phone while it is in fastboot, cmd says "waiting for device" and doesn't change.
My bootloader is unlocked and CWM Recovery is installed although when I try and install one of the 4 ROM's I have on my phones internal storage the installer looks like it's working until it gets to around 20% and then says it is complete. When the device restarts it gets stuck on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I am however still able to mount the phone and put files onto it through CWM. I have tried to use RUU and this just gives an error about USB not connected.
If you think you can help, thank you and if you need to know anything else I will try and give you as much information as I can.
Thanks,
Andy

Here's a checklist for you:
Phone in fastboot mode
Correct drivers installed
ADB/fasboot up to date
What does 'fastboot devices' return?

Yeah, it was all working earlier today but it just seemed to stop. fastboot devices returns
"c:\Fastboot>fastboot devices
c\:Fastboot>"

What OS is your computer running? Does it say FASTBOOT USB on phone display?

I have a macbook pro as my main computer but all things to do with rooting I do on a windows desktop.
This display says fastboot usb but all fastboot commands do nothing and it still doesn't show up in fastboot devices.

Reboot pc and phone if you haven't already.
You could try it with your mac, there's plenty of guides out there on how to setup.
Make sure to use sudo!!

Tried it on mac like you suggested, still no devices listed. And installations still only get to around 20%.
Do you think it's bricked?

No, I lost it ages ago. I have tried several cbales now though and they were all working fine yesterday.

Alwsys use the original. Try again then

[Q]Hboot stuck on "Checking SD card update..."

Anyone got any idea why this might be happening?
One remark in the Revolution HD ROM thread suggested starting again from scratch (re-locking) - I hope that's excessive...
Do you think it's because of the amount of data on my SD? or perhaps I should remove a file it's getting caught up on?
[Fixed]
Either by unplugging the AC charger, or deleting a bundle of large, non-flashable .zip files on my SD card.
just had the same prob and thought i had bricked it...did a google and found your post unplugged it from the wall charger and it carried on loading...phew!
thanks for the tip

USB Powered problem?
Looks like the problem is not FIXED for me. I'm still stuck at the HBOOT checking SD card update screen while attempting to root the device. I just got the phone today and followed all instructions to successfully unlock the bootloader. Now this thing is driving me crazy. I read on another thread that the USB charging might contribute to this problem, but I really don't know how to fix this. The SD storage is at default state. I only copied the SuperSU zip file while following the instructions. Please help.
PS: I noticed that the phone is not fully charged. It is somewhere below 50% power. Could this be the case?
Do you flash the custom recovery after successfully unlock the bootloader ?
I couldn't even get into FASTBOOT to type in the necessary commands. It's just stuck there at HBOOT Checking SD Update...Unplugging and replugging the USB cable got me in with FASTBOOT USB, but then the FLASH RECOVERY IMG command prompt execution just got stuck at waiting for device. So no recovery whatsoever at this stage.

Pull USB Cable and it will work, then put it in again
Already tried that mate. The command prompt shows waiting for device and stuck there.

Yes. I used those to unlock the bootloader. And if HTC Sync is the problem, I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't detect the phone when it is plugged in . Even the installation was troublesome. I had to set to Windows XP compatibility to install it on Win8 CP 64bit

So you do have "My Htc" under Android USB Devices when checking the Device Manager in your PC, maybe uninstall and reinstall HTC Sync will help ?
Uhm no. I don't have anything that's called My HTC or Android and the like in my device manager . Don't know why but I got through the bootloader unlocking process by following the HTCDev instructions
Then download the Htc Sync and install it as it will install the required driver. You can uninstall the htc sync but leave the driver.
Give it a try and see how it goes.
Uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync a dozen times, still no luck. I highly suspect the drivers are incompatible with Windows 8 x64 at the moment. Like I said, the installation requires WinXP compatibility mode, otherwise the installer gave me the 'administration privileges' error, even though it was 'run as administrator' already . HTC Sync itself didn't detect my phone at all when it was plugged in. Better wait for HTC Sync Manager then
I just updated the HTC sync from the link above and the installation went smoothly. The different is I'm on Windows 8 32 bit. I remember that Htc Sync is working fine for my other laptop which was on windows 8 x64 but unable to test it now as I reverted to windows 7.
Strange. The link you provided clearly said the latest version was 3.2.20. But when I pressed download, the exe file said 3.2.10? Perhaps they forgot to update their download server? Damn. I had high hope with the One X. But looks like I'll stick with the iPhone a bit longer, until HTC sorts things out.

Hi, I have the same problem as you. I treid root my one x and now, it has clockworkmod on it, but no back up, no stock rom and no rom on the phones hd. I can confirm that in command prompt the device is found, but the phone is not visible on my computer/usb wise for me to put a rom/files onto the phone so I could get a rom on it and make it work again. Right now my phone is just an expensive brick. I tried doing the recovery option but says failed due to low power, the dman thing was plugged in all day and would not even turn on at first. Can anyone help me? Thanks and sorry for adding to your original thread/problem post.
Cheers
Ate you charging using USB connected to your computer or outlet? Try outlet.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
If you have clockworkmod older than 5.8.4.0, you should update it. Then you can charge from recovery and mount the drive as USB to copy ROMs on.
Just know that cheap USB cables, although looking solid may not be good enough to transfer data. THe phone detects this and defaults to a non-data enabled mode. Get a different USB cable and try again.

No way of installing ROM

I need help getting out of this never ending misery. I'm stuck with my unlocked Desire HD, no ROM, and no idea how to get one working. I can't even get back to stock.
I've been looking for solutions for a week now, but it seems the combination of S-ON, no USB debugging and an unlocked bootloader makes most of them undoable.
I am able to get into boot loader, and the currently installed 4eXT recovery.
See attached file for bootloader screen.
Can anyone help me get my phone to work again? Either by a custom ROM or HTC stock; whatever.
Thanks.

It gets stuck on the HTC loading screen or on the black screen directly after depending on what I install. Don't I need USB debugging to use fastboot? I'm only getting < waiting for device > when flashing via fastboot.
My device is not listed when using adb devices.

No. ADB is not fastboot. Access fastboot from the hboot menu. Details in the link in my signature.

Yes, I did read your thread. But it doesn't work since it's not getting a connection to the device.
See attached image.
So you're booting into hboot, navigating to fastboot with your volume keys, and selecting it with the power key? If so, and fastboot still isn't getting a connection, I have no idea. Maybe check your cable or your USB port connectivity.

Yes. It does say FASTBOOT USB and I can see the device in the Device Manager. I also have the Android SDK Tools as well as the Google USB Driver installed.
I always thought you needed USB debugging on on the phone to get access to the phone's system folders.

No, USB debugging (aka ADB) is separate from fastboot. ADB kicks in when you boot the ROM. Fastboot is from the bootloader. Fastboot doesn't access the system's individual folders. It's used to flash entire images.
Not to worry, for I have solved the problem. I was apparently missing a driver that didn't get installed since I was missing USB debugging mode when installing adb and fastboot on my PC.
Going into Device Manager and manually looking up the HTC driver solved it.
Thanks for your time.
Out of interest, did your PC have VMWare Workstation installed? Because on Windows 7 and 8 people are having issues with Android drivers with it installed

When you start in bootloader and choise fastboot and connect the phone what you see in device manager. Are you install latest drivers. Are you try only in Windoes7, try on XP. Are you change the cable maybe is broken.
This with RED letter is important first try change the cable

hello! I had the same issue recently, so I solved it by next actions: I typed in the Windows command line(cmd.exe) 'pnputils -e', so I could see all drivers I have installed and their 'oem*.inf' files. I had 4 HTC drivers, it was like they were in a conflict. Then I deleted each driver with next command: 'pnputils -f -d <oem file name>.inf'. So after that, I plugged in the cable and the HOX was recognized by the computer!
Report back if that helped you!

i was having a similar (not exactly same) problem that on CM 10.2, my phone storage was not being mounted on my pc but it mounted in recovery and fastboot... this is what i did..
Connect your phone to pc, go to device manager from control panel and see if the device shown with a yellow triangle.
right click it, chose to update driver software, select manually from a list, chose android adb interface from list, then either chose google or htc (depending on your rom, for CM, prefer google).. Your phone will be recognised by pc

HTC desire in boot loop. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

My HTC desire 820 keeps restarting itself as it is stuck in an endless boot loop. I have come across threads speaking of the same issue but the solutions don't seem to work on my phone.
My boot loader is locked. When i try to unlock it in fastboot mode, the device doesn't show up on the PC.
I need the boot loader unlocked so that i could push in a custom recovery mode as i cant get into the stock recovery too.
Does anybody have a solution for my kind of problem?
Also, when the phone is in fastboot usb mode, the computer makes a notification sound which indicates it recognizes the phone.
The only thing i can get into is my boot loader and which looks like this now:

I had installed the htc manager again as per your instructions even though i had it on my pc earlier.
HTC sync manager doesn't detect the phone.
Nor does fastboot command in the command prompt.
i have the adb drivers installed as you asked me to install them earlier.
I get the same message "waiting for phone" in cmd. I rebooted fastboot but even that doesn't change anything.
What do i do now? Is it a hardware issue? I do not think it could be a hardware issue because the phone has never undergone physical damage. it just decided to turn itself off one unfortunate day by itself.
Is there another way? another software?

And the device shows up as "Android 1.0" in Device manager.
I have attached a screenshot which shows the same.
Also, when i try any of the options in the bootloader i.e., factory reset, recovery mode, reboot or power down, the device goes back to the endless bootloop and never really lets me do anything.
