[Q] [NOOB Q] Having some basic issues with flashing the Beta

Right sorry about this but I'm having a little problem trying to flash the Sony Beta so I can flash another ROM. Basically, I've just unlocked bootloader and then I go on to the next bit that says flash these three images separately etc...
Anyway I go to flash the first image and cmd just hangs on "waiting for device".
I think I've got it all set up right. I'm guessing I need it in the mode where I hold search when I plug it in and the blue light comes on right?
Anyway I'm guessing I'm missing something very easy. Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

did you put in into fast boot? hold the search key for a bit then plug in usb, the blue light will then turn on and you'll hear your usb noise. Then you hold SHIFT on the folder of fastboot and of course flash it, it will run after that

Yeah I did, sorry thought I had mentioned that. ANy chance this just takes a while and I'm being too impatient? I get the feeling it should be quick though.

nah it should only take a sec for the boot img and depending on file size of the system etc it should take a min but the fast boot cmd would give you any errors if something went wrong
and yes you did mention it lol but im reading off a little screen off my phone so just respamming things that come to head just give it a min if you don't want that one i recomm ka12 if your not a cmda user

Hmm... Well I was just thinking, I got the drivers sorted out using PDAnet. the phone wiped when I unlocked bootloader. Is it possible I need to reinstall this?

Try "fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img"

if you unlocked it then its unlocked, which you can verify by the blue light if it stays on while the usb if plugged try that method ^ and see how that goes if it doesn't let me know
also you can try another method which i did but im a cdma user and i used dooms kernal by flashing of course then installed official sony then back into fast boot and install stock kernal which booted up fine but cdma users have bugs no texting etc so i just went back to stock,

Didn't flash any kernel really. First time I've flashed anything to this phone. Just followed instructions on Sony Beta ROM site. Could you suggest a kernel to flash with that?

Recovery Won't Load

So I've fallen victim to a Clockwork Mod issue. (Why I decided to try Clockwork is beyond me) I've never had this issue with any phones, and after searching around I was unable to find anything that would fix the problem. I tried erasing the cache in fastboot, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping there is something I can do to repair "recovery" without having to flash RUU. Any help would be awesome. I really hope this isn't a repost because I seriously search all over this board. I have the CDMA version of the HTC One V.

Hi
Just reflash recovery with fastboot
Either CWM or a stock one
fastboot flash recovery <recovery image file>

flashed to stock recovery. cleared fastboot cache. still not loading. i guess i've got to go through the whole process of flashing the ruu?

having trouble finding an image file of the CWM recovery. I have tried flashing to stock recovery to no avail. I want to try flashing the CWM but all I can find are GSM versions, and unforunately I have CDMA. I was able to get the .zip file from the ClockworkMod website but none of those methods will work. I can't use Clockwork Mod to flash the recovery, and I can't use Recovery to flash a .zip file. Any suggestions would be very helpful. +karma and possibly some mons to anyone that can help me solve this issue.

AFAIK CWM is not recommended for CDMA devices
Use TWRP instead
And make sure you use the correct one for CDMA primoc!!!!!

[Q] Noob needing help

Hello peeps,
I've just come from an iphone so please forgive my stupidity. I've been looking around XDA and various other places for 2 days trying to sort my One X, but don't seem to be making any progress.
I currently only have access to the bootloader
I managed to unlock and root the phone, but then got stuck on a boot loop which I haven't been able to get out of. I was able to get into the OS, but had no cell or wifi, but now I'm just stuck in the bootloader after a failed flash of probably an incorrect RUU. The phone has been relocked.
I ran Vtool from post 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989358, and my main version is 2.17.206.2
I'm in the UK on the o2 network.
Can someone please help??

I've got no idea to be honest.
I've got no back ups.

If you have access to cwm then you're not totally out of luck, I think your best option would be to flash a stock rom for your particular phone.

So do i need to flash the boot.img and the rom from CWM and I should be ok?

Just look around in the One-X forum, do some searching, see if you can find a stock rom to download to your computer then move to your phone.
CWM has this handy feature I think in the "mount" tab, where you can mount your phone as a usb device, from which your computer will pick it up and you'll be able to move the roms file to your phone for flashing.

Thanks for the info - think I have a rom I can use.
1 more question before i continue, how do i flash the boot.img file? I have a zip with the rom / boot.img
I have mounted as usb storage and copied the zip file across

I've installed CM, after wiping cache, dalvik, system etc, but seem to be stuck on the JB animation screen.
Wondering if this means the OS is installing, or if I'm still stuffed....
I don't know if I need to do something with the boot.img file as the onlyl thing i did was load the zip file for CM

Personally I've flashed a total of three roms which isn't many, but in all my time spent reading threads of the latest and greatest roms I've never heard anything about a separate boot.img that you needed to flash... (perhaps a One-X specific thing?).
Just be patient with it when it's booting, the first boot after an install always takes longer.

I do need to flash the boot.img first.
I'll do that once my battery gets some more charge.

How much charge does it have right now? It's important to always go into using CWM on a substantial amount of battery life. Upwards of %50 is recommended, but but you should do just fine with around 30, that is assuming you're able to tell.

download the rom's boot.img and type with the phone in fastboot mode:
Code:

after that your phone will boot up correctly

Fastboot won't let me flash cos of the low battery, so will let the phone charge for a bit then try again. Thanks.

Clockword Mod I/O Error

I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 beta 5 (latest one when I flashed) on my One X and all was working fine for a few days, then the system randomly shutdown and on reboot got stuck into bootloop. I opened up clockwork mod but occasionally I get this message
Failed to open cache/recovery/log_data
(I/O Error)
Also if I go into "Advanced" and try to mount data, cache, sd card, etc I get an error saying that it can't
This happens around once a day and the only way I can get out of bootloop is to factory reset my phone
I've flashed new roms, even gone back to Android 4.1 but I still get the same error message.
I've reasearched and found nothing on this and have no clue what to do and help will be greately appreciated

There is no harm in manually mounting partitions how the op describes.
I make quite a few framework edits and it can cause problems changing the framework while android is running.
I quite often manually mount system in cwm as its easier than doing "adb shell mount /system"
But for the average user there is little need to do it as the installer scripts automatically mount the partitions that they need

And thats what i ment. Sorry for the confusion Mr Bag

Try TWRP recovery maybe. Don't really know what to think of this. When you flash the new recovery also do
Fastboot erase cache

Did a fastboot erase cache ?

Can actually still flash a rom ? Or does it stall somewhere in the process ?

[Q] Don't know what RUU to use (softbricked)

Hi everybody,
I'm in deep poop right here.. I messed around with the roms a little bit and now I'm stuck with an ampty sdcard and clockworkmod.
I've tried pushing a rom through adb, but somehow it won't work on my phone/pc. So now I'm planning to go back to stock using RUU.
I've been trying several RUU's, but with no avail. I really don't know what to use right now so I'm asking for your help guys.
Here's some information I got:
CID: HTC__E11 (Dutch)
Main number: 4.18.401.2
Radio-5.1204.167.31
HBOOT: 1.72.0000
I also found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663718
But I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to go back to stock 4.1.1. like they suggest here.
Please help me out guys you're my only hope!:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Yeah, done that. But unfortunately it's a common One x problem that the touchscreen doesn't work and the version without touch doesn't have the ADB/USBmount capabilities.
I've also been troubleshooting for a few hours on why the ADB doesn't work on my device as well, but again, to no avail.
Installing via RUU is pretty much my only option here I think :/

Sorry man, you're right, I should've tried it.
I just flashed it, but like the last time, the touch screen still doesn't work.

Nevermind, This did work for me!!!!
I just had to give it a little time though
ADB doesn't work but that's got to do with windows 8.1
It also won't recognize the system storage, but it's allright as long as I can put a rom on it now.
Thanks for all the support everybody!
In the Philz recovery I made sure system and sdcard said "unmount" and went into "mount usb"
