Bricked phone while upgrading to cm 10.1 - HTC One X

Hi,
First of, I'm sorry if I overlooked a similar thread on XDA, but I'm really in a state of panic.
I bricked my HTC One X today, while I was trying to upgrade to CM 10.1. Please note I am a total noob here, so please don't rage at my stupid mistakes. I'll try to summarize what I did before my phone stopped working.
1. I rooted my phone via this method http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
2. I tried installing cm 10.1 via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696&highlight=boot
3. Since I didnt get step 7 in that guide (about flashing boot), and because a bit further he says "boot.img included in the installer zip.", I thought I'd just skip it (I know, really stupid)
4. Obviously it didn't work, restored to where I was before step 2 (tested if I could start my phone, it worked), extracted the boot.img in the pack, and used a command prompt via pc to flash it. It said this
C:\Users\Lukas\Downloads\OneXRoot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (4958 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.681s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Format partition LNX done
OKAY [ 0.507s]
finished. total time: 1.188s
I just put the boot.img in the OneXRoot folder, so I didn't have to rewrite the command.
5. Again, it didn't work. Restored again to same point as before, but now my phone gets stuck on the HTC screen.
I'd like to add that at this moment I haven't found out how to get in the internal storage of my phone, so I can't even download the stock rom, and work from there.
Again, I'm a big noob, this is about the max of my rooting/flashing-skills, so guide me as slowly as possible.
Please help!
Lukas

Oke.....
Go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device. Then you have acces to the sdcard.
What would you like to do in the first place now ? Het CM10.1 or stock ?
If you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom you do this
Mount the sdcard in the recovery
Copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup and flash it in the bootloader with the toolkit or manual commands
Then enter the recovery and perform a full wipe, then you restore the nandroid backup

Okè. You can access internal storage within recovery. Select mounts and storage > plug in usb cable > mount usb storage.
For booting the ROM, there's one thing you missed. Due to DMCA takedown the vendor blobs are missing from builds and that's why they don't boot.
You need to take a look at the cyanogenmod thread in original development and in the first post you can find a link for the vendor installer zip that you need.
Just flash it in recovery after flashing the rom.zip.

When I do this it says: E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Your CWM is outdated. DL this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Rename it recovery.img and flash like this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Re
It flashed the recovery like you said, and it gives me a new menu (Unmount or Go Back) but it still doesnt work properly. I restarted both my pc and my phone to make sure..
Can you help me any further?

You tap mount as mass storage device once ....then it should pop up in windows
Otherwise you can try this recovery

RE
Doesn't find it with that one either... Starting to think I messed this one up reaaaalll bad.
Maybe something with my pc settings?

Strange ..... sure you connected the usb cable ......try another port
One of these 2 recoverys must work ...... don't see why not

I wish I were that stupid But no, tried all my ports, doesn't connect. It does make the sound however, so I know it's not that.. In the mean time, I got a single step closer. I downloaded the most recent boot img, and flashed it.
It still doesn't start, but now it doesn't stop at the HTC screen, but the HTC One X screen.. Progress, I guess
Edit: Tried my roommates pc, it catches!!! I'll keep you posted on my progress, but for now, thank you so very much!

Try to push the file you need with adb.
adb push (pathofsourcefile) /sdcard/
For example
adb push C:\files\derp.zip /sdcard/

Hmm you got a nandroid backup on the sdcard right ? You made that one with cwm ? Flash back cwm 5.8.4.0 now.....what nandroid was it ? stock jb rom ? Give me that info and i will provide a new stock boot.img file ! You can flash that one and restore the nandroid backup....but i need the info asap

FIXED
Guys, thank you so very much!
It is now fixed, although I still don't have cm10.1, I can at least use my phone again. For the people who want to know what I did:
1. Apparently, my pc can't identify the 'mount usb' from CWM, so I had to go to another pc.
2. I searched and found the boot.img that I used in my backup
3. Flashed that img.
And now it's fixed!
Again, thanks very much, it seems these things can make grown men cry...

So it was the pc ! ..... :thumbup:
---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------
If you want cm10.1 you need the rom.zip, gapps.zip and the vendors file too
Make a full wipe in the recovery and install the rom, gapps, vendors ...don't reboot
Reboot to the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader
And flash the boot.img from cm10.1

RE
Allright, I will do that, have the files on my phone now. But not until tomorow, I really have to rest from this 4 hour panic-attack

Fair ! And charge the phone to 100% before you start .... may save you from trouble if it doesn't work for some reason. Then you always have plenty battery to restore a nand

Help me recover HTC One X

I've searched for 3 hours and nothing helped so:
I have an international HTC One X Unlocked on HTCDev with S-ON :
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.95.000
CID: HTC__032
MID: PJ4610000
I have installed ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 and made a backup recovery 2 days ago from it before doing anything else.
and accidentally today i did these commands:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe Dalvik cache
wipe data/factory reset
and
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
Of course... after rebooting... NO MORE OS BOOT UP , it gets stuck at HTC Brilliant screen and stays forever.
First thing I did was to try to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
didn't work! it says UNKNOWN ERROR (i think not the os it wants)
then i copied all the backup folders from my computer (the backup that i've made 2 days ago) on the sdcard partition which i can accesss from clockworkmod by mounting usb (and of course it was totally empty)
didn't wirk either.
How cand i put back my OS while I still have access to sdcard, bootloader and clockwork mod.
Please help me, I'm a dummy!

lol
if you know what you are doing with explorer then you just need to drop the folder 2012-07-26.05.13.13 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
then restore your backup in recovery
i assume if you have done "format /sdcard and /system" then wondering why your phone wont boot, you are a dummy so i will write a dummy guide for you :laugh:
yeah, formatting /system is why it wont boot anymore
here are the things you need to do to get booting again
reboot into recovery
click on "mounts and storage"
click on "mount USB storage" at bottom
plug your phone into PC via USB cable
open up computer (assuming Windows) and open up your now blank /SDCARD
make a folder called "clockworkmod" (without quotes)
open this folder then make another one inside it called "backup"
copy your 2012-07-26.05.13.13 folder from your PC to the "backup" folder
click on "Unmount" on your phone
click on "+++++Go Back+++++"
click on "backup and restore"
click on "restore"
click on "2012-07-26.05.13.13"
click on "Yes - Restore"
once complete you should be fine and dandy again
I don't know what did you erase but inside zip you have boot.img which if you deleted somehow boot.img you can flash through adb shell. Don't ask me I don't know correct command line, but you can extract it and flash itbthrough phone. I will look for exact path for recovery zip file because i have root and nandroid back up and in next post I will give you my path.

THANK YOU. especially for your patience. I got somehow desperate and didn't know how to do correctly these steps

Please Help
Ok, so I know I take first prize for noob/dummy of the year but I'm really hoping someone cane help.
I recently rooted my one x and tried to install Android Revolution custom rom. Got stuck in a bootloop. Managed to then flash Cyanogenmod 9 (trip's version) however had issues with bluetooth not working and random reboots. Thought i'd give Android revolution a go again but got stuck in bootloop.....again!!! So...in all my (lack of) infinite wisdom, I booted into recovery and proceeded to format everything thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.
Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di
So, after reading through some other threads, I discovered that you could just push the zip file using adb, however, when trying this I get the error: device not found.
When launching fastboot I get
SD Checking
Failed to open usb Master mode
Failed to open usb Master mode
loading HTCUpdatezipName image
Failed to open usb Master mode
Please plug off USB
Hope someone out there can help.

Do you have the latst Recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
If not, update to latest recovery and try to mount USB storage again.
Also you can try to use adb while you have the phone in recovery mode, not fastboot or hboot.
And, did you remember to flash the boot.img from fast boot after reflasnig the ROM? if not, that that is causing the bootloops.

wow, thankyou so much.
That was a relatively easy solution and got be back in the game baby!!!
BTW I gotta say, I was pretty happy with my one x before but now... I think i'm in love.
Sorry if this is off topic but was unsure where else to post. Had issues with random rebooting after certain apps launched so scrapped leedroid and tried out modaco. All seemed fine but then I was getting a reboot every time I tried to access (play, set as a ring tone or even just play) mp3's so I did a full wipe reflash of Leedroid and the same thing happens, full reboot when tying to do anything with MP3s
please help

Here is an alternative way without ruu
1-Mount usb in recovery
2-Copy this rom to sdcard
3-Factory reset
4-Flash rom
4-Start ruu and grab the rom.zip (you can find guides at xda for grabbing rom.zip)
5-Extract boot_signed.img and recovery.img
6-Execute fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img and fastboot flash recovery
recovery.img
7-Reboot and relock the bootloader
and now you don't need ruu and phone works well I tried this myself and it worked
Firstly, thanks for your sugggestion. One question though, won't relocking the bootloader also unroot the phone?

I am in a similar problem with my htc one x. I tried to flash android revolution but recovery would always tell me this;
E:can't open /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.0.0,zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I tried to restore a backup I made from the stock system, but it just reboots shortly after showing the wallpaper. I am a real noob here and I read about updating clockwork, my version is 5.8.2.7. I do not know how to do that since I can't mount usb storage from recovery...
I really would appreciate a guide that even squirrels could follow, please
Just come across this thread, and i would like to say:

There is no way you can format your partitions accidentally lmao
My phone was stuck in bootloop for 4 days. I finally relocked the bootloader and flashed my RUU. Worked perfectly after that

htc one x bootloop after flash

i'm not really into all of that stuff.. but i just tried and failed miserably, haha.
so this is my problem:
i got a htc one x, rooted it and everything was alright. after that i tried to flash cyanogenmod 10 on it. i followed these stepps in this video: /watch?v=elDvcVot7qo (i would enter the full link.. but i'm not allowed to, because this is my first post here)
so i downloaded the cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri-007.zip and ripndroidgapps-jb-20120805.zip .. but instead of putting both of them onto my sd card, i put all the datas which were IN the files onto my device. now my handy is stuck on the bootloop and i have no access to my sd card anymore.. i just need the access to fix it, does anyone know a solution for it?

If you did a backup in cwm you can restore it or try and flash the rom again just make sure you read through the whole process a couple of times, mistakes are very easy to make, also look for threads about the rom you are flashing and try and cross reference the procedure, this sometimes helps ...good luck!

I've been looking around a lot and I'm seriously to the point where I'm totally confused, I have my friend's HTC ONE X (international one) where we followed Hsasoon2000's tool kit (which also uses htcdev website) to unlock the boot loader and it apparently it did and everything was good but when we tried to install the CM10 rom for jellybean using his toolkit the phone got into this "boot loop" and we can't figure how to fix it.. we can get to the bootloader.. where if we select recovery it takes us to this "team win recovery project" thing and gives us several options but .. we are pretty new to this and we don't want to screw this even more. I got to the USB storage mount and I'm able to get into the files through the computer.. can any of you guys help please?? WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

The command is

You can search how to get and use fastboot, I have no link. It is requirement for pretty much any ROM, though.

i use CC rom and updated to latest rom, it corrupted sommehow i guess
it was locked into HTC bootloop and i could not reach recovery with volume button.

[Q] free beer if you fix my one x!

Hi, if you can help me unbrick my phone I'll buy you a beer (or three!)
I have an htc one x which i managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev as in various tutorials....
I was too lazy to take a backup
I then tried to install cyanogenmod 10 using cwm recovery.... (by flashing a zip file i had downloaded - one of the nightly builds)
I wiped the cache etc in cwm
it got stuck in a boot loop i think as it got to the spinning cyanogen logo then nothing happened...
I've tried to get it working again using lots of different methods - i downloaded some RUU exes which failed because they said they weren't the correct ROM (even though they should be right) - then i read a tutorial about how to use fastboot to flash system.img onto the phone but it fails giving error code 00000006
I can't push any zip files to the phone using ADB as I get permission denied errors
I've also tried to use fastboot to flash various recoveries but I can't apply any zips because I can't get them onto the phone in the first place
I've also flashed various recovery.img files but when they load, I get a red triangle after a few seconds
If someone could tell me how to use ADB to push a zip file to the phone I'd be really grateful - have tried everything but keep getting permission denied errors
Thanks
(oh and if you manage to help me fix it I WILL buy you a beer... or 3)
oh and ....
ALSO I've googled the problem and tried all of the options I can find which could help - please don't just send me a link to a page because i can guarantee I've probably already tried the solution and failed. When I boot into recovery, I can't use adb push to send files to the phone because it says it's not connected even if i try the option for mount data, or mount storage - the only time windows seems to manage to aknowledge it's existence is on the fastboot screen -

Have you flashed the cm boot IMG and then erased fastboot cache?
fastboot flash boot pathtoboot.IMG
fastboot erase cache
For the RUU to work you need to have stock recovery and a relocked boot loader.
if you download the latest clockworkmod mounting as USB storage is fixed.

thanks!
wow that was a quick reply - yes I've flashed the cm boot img and erased the cache - which version of CWM is the latest? - When you say mounting as USB storage is fixed, do you mean that windows will be able to see the device and write files to it?
(I'm really sorry for asking these questions - the problem is that I know a BIT about how android works but not as much as I should do)

Are you absolutely sure you flashed the boot.img from the rom.zip using fastboot on your computer? Because it really sounds like you didn't
This is a thread I made and it should provide you with a solution if not a starting point if you insist on CM10.

Good luck!
sorry hope i'm not wasting your time!
I ran the command as follows :-
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
(I got the img file from the ruu )
I'm not 100% sure if it worked, but at that stage I didn't see any errors

CWM 5.8.4.0 has the USB mounting fixed. You can go to mounts and storage and mount as USB, then the PC will see it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I'm pretty sure you either didn't flash the boot.img or flashed the wrong one, so get it again to make sure it's the right one and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot erase cache
thanks!
I'll give it a go - to be honest i don't insist on using cm10 at all - i just wanted to see what jellbean was like and it seemed like a reasonable way of achieving that.... i'd be quite happy with any decent rom if it can fix the lag problems i have and some of the other issues.....
great tutorial by the way! - once my phone has charged up again I'll try it

Thanks.
I use CM10 myself at the moment because of the aesthetics, but because of the amount of ram and battery it uses I wish I had stuck with ARHD.
Come October we should see Jellybean ARHD which will have great features like USB OTG without a powered hub.

Mount as USB not working on that version, also charging not working either. It was not a great release in terms.of features, but it was updated quickly, that's quite an.old version now.
Do you know which tutorial you followed? It really needs updating, there are a lot of people on this old version struggling more than they need to.
Right, first you're going to flash a recovery which allows you to mount USB storage. Either cwm or TWRP, download the recovery.img and flash through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery rocoveryname.img.
Download a new rom and extract the boot.img from it. Flash that boot.img using the usual fastboot method.
Now boot into the new recovery, connect to your pc and mount USB storage from the option in recovery. Copy over the rom you downloaded. Unmount USB storage. Now do a full wipe through the menu in recovery - format /data, /system and /cache. Now flash the rom and reboot

[Q] Help please... Stuck in boot loop after restore from CWM

Hi all, thought I'd give you all a laugh...
I've run rooted devices before, but had kept my One X stock, until I decided I fancied a change over the weekend. Famous last words.
I'm no expert, but can generally follow instuctions.... I followed a video on onexroot.com (and used provided tools), and unlocked bootloader, rooted, backed up, and installed a custom rom (PacBAM), as well as flashing boot image just to make sure it all worked.
Initially I had a problem as I'd not realised I needed to flash boot.img, but I restored and started again, and all worked well.
My problem is this - I then decided after a few hours I didn't like PacBAM, so decided to restore my back up from recovery and start again. Basically, I've restored and everything seemed to behave properly, but now it's stuck in boot and nothing I do seems to work.
As I say, I'm no expert, but could anyone point me in the right direction please. I've tried and read various things and thought it might be something to do with the boot.img, but I'm not sure how to resolve it? :crying:
Graham.
Again you need to flash a boot.img, belonging to the backup you restored.

Thanks Webpatrick.
Sorry, but this is where I'm stuck, and my skill runs out.
I thought I had done this, but I am obviously missing something.
Step by Step.....
I entered recovery, then chose my back up to restore (which was effectively from when first rooted and the only one I have).
I then hit reboot at which point it stuck in boot loop.
I've then gone into bootloader, fastboot and connected usb.
I've then opened a command prompt and done the following.... ( which I assume comes from the oneXRoot tool originally downloaded and unzipped).
cd Downloads
cd oneXRoot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
The device has rebooted at this point, but is still stuck in boot loop.
Can you tell where I am going wrong?
Try to boot into recovery and erase dalvik cache.

Thanks tried this, unfortunately no success.
Just checking I so not think oneXRoot file contained a boot.img?
When I was installing the PacBAM ROM I needed to copy that boot.img from the unzipped file to the onexRoot file to flash it. That is therefore the boot image I've been using.
If that is the problem, and the there is no other boot image what do I need to do?
Thanks again.
Did you make a full wipe in recovery before restoring the nand ? Only dalvik cache won't help.....

When u restore your nandroid u need to flash the boot.img that's inside the nandroid folder. Copy that boot.img in your tool folder and flash it.

Thanks Guys, I'll try that when I'm back a bit later - sorry for the stupid question, but do I do that by mounting the sd card in recovery and then looking for the backup through the laptop?
Yes sir

Right people, my next question - again forgive my thickness.
I've entered bootloader, gone into recovery>advanced>mounts and storage>mount sd card.
I then went back into My Computer expecting/hoping to see the mounted sd card so I could explore it, find boot image on nandroid and copy etc.
Unfortunately life's never that simple and in my computer there is nothing showing to access? No HTC devices/phones, cards...nothing
Any pointers please?
Not sure how relevant it is, but this is what I see on the phones screen when I boot into bootloader....
SD Checking…
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) failed to open usb master mode
Loading zip.image PJ46IMG…
Failed to open usb master mode
Please plug off USB

Guys, just wanted to say thanks for your help.
Problem sorted and back up and running.
I basically 'borrowed' the boot image from one of the Nandroid back up collections on here after using adb to suss out what my CID was.
Then cleared cache, flashed boot image and went into recovery etc etc.
Thanks again

[Q] Stuck in CWM recovery screen

Dear XDA-members,
This afternoon, I tried to root mij HTC One X and flash it to Cyanogenmod 10.2. During the flashing, I made the mistake to forget to put the boot.img and Google Apps files on my SD card. During the rom installation, I got stuck in the splash screen. For this reason, I formatted my SD kaart in the CWM recoveryscreen but now my phone doesn't have any rom at all. When I turn on my phone, I only get to see the white HTC screen. When I try to connect my phone to my pc, it doesn't get recognized. I just want to get my stock ROM back again to get my phone working. I do have acces to the CWM recoveryscreen.
I downloaded the fastboot and RUU files, but fastboot won't recognize my device through the commandscreen. This is why I can't put the RUU files on my phone.
Can someone please help me? I don't have a clue what to try next to save my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Can you mount storage in recovery ? If you can....
Mount storage in recovery and copy/paste rom and kernel on SD, flash rom and kernel, than flash boot.img via fastboot.
Can u do any fastboot commands while phone is on bootloader?
Sent from my HTC One X
Thanks for the quick responses!
Unfortunately, I can't mount storage in recovery so I can't acces my SD card.
I can, however, access the fastboot menu so it's possible to do fastboot commands and get into the CWM menu.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Flash this recovery and you can mount the sd
Thanks, but can you explain how to do that?
I don't think I can use fastboot because my phone doesn't get recognized, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
OK, I found a way to do that via fastboot, but I couldn't mount it just like in CWM. I did download a RUU.exe because I figured that fastboot is working for me! So I tried to install the stock ROM using the RUU.exe and fastboot, but the flashing progress was aborted because apparantly that RUU version was older than the one on my phone. I googled for a newer one, but there are no newer .exe files and according to others I should use a nandroid backup zip file.
How should I do that? Or is there any way that I can make the RUU.exe I downloaded work, because it seemed to me that the program worked fine except for the older version part. Or is it the easiest to flash Cyanogenmod, I've got those files on my pc as well. I wouldn't know how to do that, just by flashing boot.img from the zip file? I really hope you can help me out!
Further notes: during the RUU installation progress, CWM and Philz were wiped from the SD card and I had to relock my phone. I don't know if any of that should cause a problem though.
Flash that philz, enter recovery. Put in the usb cable and mount. Wait until the sdcard pops up on windows. Can take minutes......but works for sure !
Thank you, I'll try that tonight! Then, what kind of files should I copy on the SD card? And can I use the Cyanogenmod files as well as the stock ones? Lastly, do I need to unlock my phone again?
Unlock, flash recovery, flash boot.img, make a full wipe, install CM, install GAPPS ..... reboot
OK, so just to get it straight:
First I unlock it, then flash philz via fastboot. Then enter recovery mode and mount USB. After that, I copy the Cyanogenmod boot.img and the GApps file on the SD card. Lastly, I install the boot.img file via the Philz recovery program and then the GApps, and I reboot.
Is this right or should I do something different?
Thank you so much!
Cm.zip to sdcard, boot.img flash via fastboot. Install CM.zip and gapps via recovery.
Two last questions:
Which boot.img file do I need to use? The one from the CM.zip?
And how should I do the full wipe?
Also, I can not flash my phone because it won't charge properly... When I connect it to the charger, it will charge and I see the red light. After a while, the battery drains and gets empty, while still seeing the red light. I put it on the charger all night and it was totally empty when I checked this morning. Do you have an idea how I can deal with this?
If you can get into philz recovery. Leave it there. The battery charges inside of it.
And yes always boot.img of the rom.zip you want to install.

I can not flash Philz yet because the bootloader is still locked. It has charged enough now, but when I try to unlock it by typing 'fastboot flash unlock unlock_code.bin' it says:
Sending 'unlock' (0 KB)... OKAY [0.009]
Writing 'unlock' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. Total time: 0.219s
Could it be that I need to get a new unlock_code.bin? Now I use the same one as when I first tried to lock it. Or do I need to type another command for reunlocking? The status on my phone still says relocked...
Command is not correct
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

Thank you so much, it worked!
CM10.2 is installed, I've got only one more problem...
When I boot it, and pass the setup wizard, the phone keeps popping up the same message:
Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped. Every second it pops up.
I can acces various programs, so that works, except for that message.
Do you happen to know a solution for that as well?
Anyway, thank you again for your help!
Installed gapps ? The correct one ? Made a proper full wipe full before installing the rom !

Yes, I got it to work. Now I've got a new problem... For one afternoon, my phone worked perfectly, but since that evening, now two days ago, I can't connect with my mobile services. I can't call, go on internet (only via WiFi), and when I try to create a new APN, it doesn't show. I tried it with two different SIM cards, neither work. Also my battery drains very fast and when I take a look at my battery app it doesn't show Google play services from which I heard is a common cause
